The Richest Man in the Heavens Starts from Outlaws of the Marsh

Chapter 93 Doubt

Yan Qing secretly told Lu Junyi about Xu Guanzhong's work in the Great Wei Army.

Lu Junyi was taken aback, he knew exactly who that close friend was.

Xu Guanzhong was originally a man with lofty aspirations and devoted himself to serving the country. He had also been awarded the champion of martial arts. If he hadn't been a traitor, how could he have been pushed out to the point of despair, and finally ran to a mountain village to become a hermit.

"Xiaoyi, I remember you mentioned Shi Jin before?" Lu Junyi asked after suddenly thinking of something.

"Didn't you forget, I asked you for leave a few years ago, saying that I brought a friend to find Mr. Xu, and that person was Jiuzhilong Shijin." Yan Qing said.

"What's Xiaoyi's impression of this person?" Lu Junyi asked again.

Yan Qing thought back for a moment, and said: "Young, heroic, martial arts, and a bit out of the world."

"How about Pioneer Song?" Lu Junyi asked.

Yan Qing smiled and said: "How can this be compared? Shi Jin is bold and open, he is very good to those around him, and he is extravagant in his actions, much brighter than Village Master Song."

"Oh, what do you say?" Lu Junyi became more interested.

"I remember that Shi Jin wanted to ask his husband to come out to help, but Mr. Xu refused on the grounds that he served his mother as a filial piety. Not only was Shi Jin not unhappy, but he also left a lot of gifts for his husband. Later I heard Mr. Xu say that , I even gave him more than a dozen ingots of gold that day. Compared with it, Song Jiang and Wu Yong's method of inviting people to go up the mountain is too despicable." Yan Qing said.

"Oh, the past is terrible. Xiao Yi, you didn't tell others about meeting Mr. Xu, did you?" Lu Junyi didn't want to mention the past, so he brought the topic back.

"No, what kind of friendship does Mr. Xu have with Yuanwai? How can I sell his information?" Yan Qing said.

"Just keep this matter in your heart and pretend you don't know." Lu Junyi said.

"Waiyuan, do you think we can defeat the Wei army? This time I went to investigate and saw that Wei's troops are well-trained and well-equipped. Coupled with Mr.'s talent, I'm afraid..." Yan Qing said.

"Little Yi is talking nonsense. This is in the military camp. Just keep some things in your heart. Remember that your own safety is the most important thing in this battle, and you must not risk your life." Lu Junyi said in a low voice.

Yan Qing seemed to understand something, nodded to express understanding.

The two didn't know that while they were talking quietly, one of them tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

It was none other than Hua Monk Lu Zhishen.

Everyone in Erlong Mountain knew that Shi Jin was his best friend. He had lived in the cottage for more than half a month and got along well with Yang Zhi and others.

Lu Zhishen originally wanted to invite people from Shaohua Mountain to join Shuibo, but they had their own ambitions, but he didn't expect Shi Jin's ambitions to be so grand that he would raise the flag to rebel and become king in the North.

’ I don’t know if my Lin Chong brother settled down with Shi Jin.How should I deal with myself when the war starts in a few days? Lu Zhishen thought wildly.

'Well, what Brother Lin said seems reasonable, what's the point of this trick.Am I going to give up my post in the army and go to Shi Dalang's place.... '

Lu Zhishen was so dazed that he didn't know when he fell asleep.

The next day, he had just woken up and finished washing, and before he had breakfast, a servant came over to spread the word that Zhang Shuye, the envoy of Hebei Xuanfu, had invited him.

Lu Zhishen's heart sank inexplicably, and wondered if it was about Shi Dalang.

However, being in the army, he couldn't let his temper go, he hurriedly followed the boy to report to Zhang Shuye.

Entered Xingzhou City and came to the temporary commander's mansion.

As soon as Lu Zhishen entered the lobby, he saw Zhang Shuye sitting upright, with many officers he didn't recognize next to him, presumably they were the defenders of Xingzhou, and there were only three people he knew, Song Jiang, Lu Junyi, and Wu Yong.

"The grassroots see the commander in chief." Lu Zhishen quickly saluted.

"You don't have to be polite, Mr. Lu. I invited you here today to ask some questions. I heard that you had a good relationship with Shi Jin of the Great Wei in the early years. Can you tell me about this person." Zhang Shuye said.

Lu Zhishen bowed his hands and saluted, and said: "Commander, I met Shi Jin when he was a governor in Weizhou, because he came to Weizhou to find his master Wang Jin, so we got to know him by chance. He extended his hand to help, and after that, he brought a few brothers to Erlong Mountain to see me once."

Zhang Shuye nodded, he understood the same situation, so he asked again: "Lu Yishi, how is this Shi Jin?"

"Extravagant and straightforward, don't look at him as a young village owner in Shijia Village. He has great insights into people and things. After meeting him a few times, I know that he is not just a rumored person who is obsessed with martial arts." Lu Zhishen said.

"What else?" Zhang Shuye asked.

"Uh, it's nothing. Shi Jin and I only met a few times. In terms of long-term relationship, we don't have as many brothers as Erlongshan." Lu Zhishen said.

Zhang Shuye nodded, and then sent him back.

Lu Zhishen didn't understand, so he didn't dare to ask more questions, and left the commander's mansion quickly after saluting.

After he left, Zhang Shuye said slowly: "It seems that Lu Yishi doesn't know much about Shi Jin. I really don't know how he, a powerful man from Huayin County, came to Hebei and made such a big deal."

"Marshal, I want to..." Song Jiang said as if he understood something.

Zhang Shuye nodded, and said, "I do have the intention of recruiting Shi Jin. A battle of 10,000+ people will really destroy people's lives. It is best not to cause murder."

"Marshal, but in my opinion, Shi Jin may not have the heart to submit to the imperial court, otherwise, how could he set up a false imperial court privately and assign hundreds of officials, clearly wanting to rebel." Wu Yong said.

"Wu Xuexue is right. In fact, I know that Zhao'an is just an illusion in my heart. I called everyone here today to discuss how to fight." Zhang Shuye said.

"The commander wants to go to war soon?" Zhan Shouan, the commander of the Xingzhou horse army, asked.

"Well, the false Wei must be wiped out as soon as possible. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with it if it takes a long time." Zhang Shuye said.

"The commander-in-chief is worried about the new policy pushed by the great Wei?" Wu Yong asked.

"That's true. Light taxes and low taxes buy people's hearts. I'm afraid that as time goes by, people in the northern borders will be in the false Wei." Zhang Shuye said.

"Commander, I think that the Wei army stationed in Julu seems to want to fight us head-on on the Great Plains. In this case, there is no need to use any tactics and can only fight hard. Even if we send a horse army to detour, it will be difficult to avoid it. Their detection range." Zhan Shouan said.

"I understand that this is why I summoned all of you. This battle must send all the most capable troops. I think this time the rebellion will probably be the only battle." Zhang Shuye said.

As soon as his words came out, no matter if it was Song Jiang, Lu Junyi, Wu Yong, or Zhan Shouan and other Xingzhou defenders, they were all taken aback. They only fought a decisive battle. Isn't this tactics too Menglang?

However, Zhang Shuye is a high-ranking official, so he will do what he says, and everyone has stated that they will use the strongest force in the army to fight against Julu.

The pre-war deployments have been made in the commander's mansion, and arrangements have been made for all the troops and horses.

Let's talk about Song Jiang and Lu Junyi. After returning to the barracks, they repeated the military order of Zhang Dashuai, the Xuanfu envoy, and then began to mobilize troops.

According to the management of the Shanzhai, Song Jiang led a group of loyal younger brothers as a team, and Lu Junyi led those marginal characters as a team.

After the names of the people were counted, the leaders of the cottage each took the task and returned to the camp to prepare.

Lu Zhishen suddenly realized that he had been left to cool off, and he, the leader of the infantry, had no chance to go to the front line.

He wanted to ask Song Jiang, Wu Yong and others, but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea. He knew in his heart that it was because the friendship with Jiuzhilong Shijin was suspected by Heishanlang and others.

Monk Hua walked away feeling his bald head, went back to the tent, went to bed, covered himself with a quilt, and fell asleep soundly.

Wang Dingliu peeked out from outside the account, and seeing that he didn't complain, he quietly left to report to Song Jiang and others.

Within three days, under the urging of Zhang Shuye, the army set out to march towards Julu City.

Lu Zhishen was assigned by Wu Yong to escort the food and grass, and then sort out the supplies in the army.Monk Hua didn't take it seriously, he didn't want to meet Shi Jin's swordsman, and it happened to be a leisurely time.

Besides, Zhang Shuye selected the elite of the Xingzhou Army to leave the old, weak and cowardly to defend the city, and brought the Liangshan Army who he thought was more powerful, and set up camp outside Julu City within three days.

He understands that the time is in the Great Wei and not in the court, and if the Great Wei will carry out the decree, it is not difficult to imagine that all those poor people will become supporters of the Great Wei, and it will be difficult to calm down.
