Water Margin: You dog official, you still say you don’t know martial arts?

Chapter 956 He Yuanqing: This old man is so domineering! [3 more]

"Blah blah blah, that's what happened..."

Liu Gao summoned important figures in Tokyo, including Gongsun Sheng, Zhang Shuye, Lu Zhishen, Lu Junyi, and Xu Ning, to explain:
"My seventh brother (Wu Song) and Sun Li are leading 20,000 imperial guards to Xijing.

“As long as I don’t join them, they won’t reach Xijing.

"Currently, Jizhou is guarded by my ninth brother (Yue Fei), Han Shizhong, Luo Yanqing, and Yu Hualong, who are leading 50,000 troops, including 18,000 Wild Wolf Riders.

"Cangzhou is guarded by Zongze, Shan Tinggui, and Wei Dingguo with 30,000 troops.

“But 80,000 troops are not enough. Second brother (Gongsun Sheng), third brother (Lu Zhishen), fourth brother (Lu Junyi), you lead an army of 100,000 and set off immediately.

“After meeting up with Zong Ze and my ninth brother, I will inform the Liao Kingdom and ask them to act according to my plan.

“I will join my seventh brother and Sun Li in Xijing, and will march north with the imperial army to attack the Liao Kingdom.

“If there are any changes in the meantime, I will send Dai Zong to inform you.

“In addition, Xu Ning will guard Dongjing, and Zhang Qing will guard Damingfu.

"It is possible that the imperial court will take the opportunity to attack Tokyo and the daimyo prefecture, so you must protect your home well, is there any problem?"

The brothers all said it was no problem.

Liu Gao was keeping his eyes and ears open, and out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of a little head peeking out the window.

So after the meeting, Liu Gao walked to the window, and just then that little head popped up again.

Their eyes met, and Hu Sanniang blinked her big eyes:
"Your Highness, if I say I'm here to look for my elder sister, would you believe me..."

Liu Gao held her small face in his hands and stared into her eyes:

"Why doesn't your elder sister come by herself?"

Hu Sanniang was confused and stammered:

"She's big, big, and it's inconvenient with her big belly..."

Liu Gao smiled and kissed her:
"Don't worry, I will be back before the baby is born."

Hu Sanniang's eyes turned red:

"Your Highness, we won't be there to protect you this time, so you must be careful..."

"Do not worry!"

Liu Gao raised his eyebrows:
"Your husband is so brave that he can't match ten thousand men!"

Come on, brother!
Hu Sanniang chuckled, thinking that Liu Gao was teasing her. She didn't believe that Liu Gao was so brave that he could defeat ten thousand men.

Liu Gao jumped out of the window, went to see Hua Yue Niang hand in hand with her, and then... left Tokyo.

Wu Song, Shi Xiu, He Yuanqing and Sun Li have already led 20,000 imperial troops from Yingtian Prefecture to Xijing.

Liu Gao, along with his two generals Zhang Bao and Wang Heng, rode at full speed to catch up with them and go to Xijing together.

……

Xijing.

Seeing the countless military camps outside the city, Liu Gao realized that he had underestimated the strength of the Song Dynasty.

You should know that to this day, among the more than 300 prefectures in the Song Dynasty, Liu Gao occupies at least more than 100.

I didn't expect that so many troops could be gathered. Liu Gao took a quick look and saw that there were at least 200,000 troops outside the city.

So Liu Gao left the 20,000 troops he brought with him outside the city and led Zhang Baowang into the city to meet the emperor.

On the way, Liu Gao met the boss.

"Quack, quack..."

A group of cavalrymen escorted an old general with white hair and beard into the city.

Although the veteran is old, his momentum is still as strong as an old tiger, his domineering aura can still intimidate all beasts!

Behind the veteran is a general with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who looks intimidating without even getting angry!
Although his momentum was suppressed by the veteran, Liu Gao, who had seen countless people, saw it at a glance:

This is a fierce general, the kind with courage that cannot be matched by ten thousand men!

What Liu Gao didn't know was that the veteran was also attracted by Liu Gao's presence. It was mainly because of Liu Gao's integrity that he couldn't help but like him.

Of course, Liu Gao’s display was also extraordinary.

That Zhaoye Jade Lion is obviously a thousand-mile horse, and the king among them!
The two big hammers that He Yuanqing brought in with Liu Gao were also quite intimidating.

There are also Zhang Bao and Wang Heng, two giants over ten feet tall, one in front of the horse and the other behind it, like the two generals Heng and Ha and the left and right door gods!
The old general looked at Liu Gao, nodded, and rode his horse past Liu Gao's team to the palace.

"Uncle, that old man was so domineering just now!"

He Yuanqing whispered to Liu Gao: "Do you know him?"

Liu Gao: “I don’t know him.”

He Yuanqing added: "Uncle, I see the guy behind the old man, his strength is not inferior to mine..."

Liu Gao smiled and said, "You are no match for him."

He Yuanqing was not convinced: "Why do you think so?"

"Feel."

Liu Gao had seen too many brave men who were unmatched by ten thousand men, and all of his brothers were brave enough to be unmatched by ten thousand men.

Even Liu Gao himself was trying to be brave enough to fight against ten thousand men, so he could naturally see the man's strength.

"That fellow's strength is probably not inferior to your master's!"

Liu Gao taught He Yuanqing: "You are indeed gifted, but don't underestimate the heroes of the world!

"The real peerless warrior has not appeared yet..."

The mountain lions Camel and Lian'er of the Jin Kingdom are kind-hearted and sticky, and each one is more powerful than the other!

However, the peerless warriors on his side, Gao Chong, Lu Wenlong, Cao Ning are still children, and the parents of Yang Jizhou and Yue Yun are still children...

Liu Gao became worried whenever he thought of this, so whenever he had time these days he would practice shooting in his dreams.

Just so that I can really meet these peerless warriors and lend a hand...

He Yuanqing curled his lips and said: Uncle is really good at boosting others' morale and destroying his own prestige!
How powerful can he be when the real peerless warrior hasn’t appeared yet?

No matter how powerful you are, can you be more powerful than the master and his uncles and uncles?

Although he was not convinced, He Yuanqing did not dare to say it out loud and just followed Liu Gao.

Because of Liu Gao's high status and his popularity before Emperor Gaozong of Song, he was quickly summoned.

Coincidentally, he met the veteran again.

The old general was talking to Emperor Gaozong of Song when he saw Liu Gao coming. Emperor Gaozong introduced him to the old general:
"General Zhong, this is the number one tiger minister in Shandong whom I told you about, Liu Taibao!

"Mr. Liu, this is an important official of our Song Dynasty, General Zhong Shidao!
"I just appointed him as the Grand Marshal of the Army!

"This time the Northern Expedition will be led by General Zhong, you two should get to know each other!"

It turns out that he is Zhong Shidao!

Liu Gao suddenly realized that this was a famous general of the Song Dynasty!

In "Water Margin", we only hear his name but never see him.

However, Wang Jin, who appeared at the beginning, and Lu Zhishen, who appeared later, are both directly related to him.

After teaching Shi Jin martial arts for half a year, Wang Jin went to join old General Zhong.

Lu Zhishen appeared and told Shi Jin that he heard that Wang Jin was doing something for the old Prime Minister Zhong Jinglie in Yan'an Prefecture.

Lu Zhishen also said that he originally worked under the old Prime Minister Zhong Jinglie and became the Inspector of the Five Routes in Guanxi.

After Lu Zhishen killed Zheng the butcher, the prefect came to ask General Xiaozhong, who said that Lu Da was originally an officer under my father, and because there was no one to help me, he was assigned to be the deputy commander.

This old Mr. Zhong Jinglie is Zhong Shidao.

It’s a pity that Liu Gao didn’t bring Lu Zhishen with him, otherwise he might have been able to build a relationship with Zhong Shidao if he met him.
