The facts in front of him made Zheng Guan unable to object to Sun Tu's behavior of recruiting female soldiers. After all, he was just a civil servant and didn't understand military affairs at all, so naturally he could not come up with a convincing statement. However, in this way, the three things he made when he appeared in Qingzhou were perfunctory by Sun Tu, which really made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Sun Tu was quite respectful to him, the imperial envoy, and he treated him well in accordance with the rules in the officialdom. Until the imperial envoy's honor guard arrived and issued an order, Sun Tu's reaction was no different from before. He just said that the Qingzhou army suffered heavy casualties and could not use troops to Liangshan for the time being.

In the end, Zheng Guan could only accept Sun Tu's statement and planned to pass it back to the court, and then wait for the monarch and ministers in the court to make the final decision. However, in this way, Sun Tu could spend two or three months to continue recruiting and training troops. If the preparations for the army's conquest were calculated, it would not be too difficult to delay for a year or two.

It was not until the imperial envoy respectfully sent out of the city that Sun Tu completely felt relieved. He knew that when this person returned, everything before would be finalized. The court would not be able to pursue his killing of Gao Xiang and He Mo without any hesitation. Next, as long as the Qingzhou soldiers under his command were retrained and the Liangshan bandits were put to an end, he would have to carefully consider the consequences if the court wanted to move him in the future.

The next things are indeed constantly developing in the most ideal direction, because the publicity methods are in place, so that the people in the city no longer resist the recruitment of female soldiers. Instead, many husbands and fathers also encouraged their daughters to enter the military camp to practice well and do their best to defend the country.

As time goes by, Qingzhou has regained its previous vitality. The fleeing people continue to return, and the soldiers who fled before have also returned one after another. Seeing that the wounds caused by Gao Xiang and his counter-intentions are healing, as long as Sun Tu is given some time, Qingzhou will definitely return to the old view.

But sometimes things in the world may not always be as expected. Although Sun Tu did not intend to use troops to Liangshanpo at this time, the heroes and heroes on Liangshanpo may not be able to receive this love. After August, they are ready to move again.

Water is scattered in Liangshan, Juyi Hall.

Today, Liangshanbo Mountain Village is full of talents and strong people. This hall as wide as a temple is full of leaders, and the number is roughly evident, reaching 70 or 80 people. This would be completely unimaginable if it were placed a few years ago.

However, relying on Song Jiang's powerful appeal, coupled with the Liangshan Army's attacks from multiple parties and the brilliant achievements of repeatedly defeating the official army, naturally attracted the joining of the green forest heroes from all over the world, especially the bandits in Shandong, who often raise camps to surrender due to survival pressure. This made Liangshanbo Mountain Village now have 81 leaders of all sizes, and there are 8,000 soldiers under their command, which is one of the few green forest forces in the world.

Of course, the Liangshanbo power at this time is ultimately incomparable to the peak of the Water Margin story. After all, there are many heroes who should have joined the counterfeit village either stayed by Sun Tu or killed by him. It is extremely rare to be able to gather 81 people today.

The only thing that is thankful is that when the mountain village was at its peak, Chao Gai, who had been attacked Zengtou City for a moment, was finally killed by the poisonous arrow, but he was still alive. Because Song Jiang led his army to a great defeat in Zhujiazhuang before, the loss of troops and generals not only caused many casualties to his trusted brothers, but also weakened his prestige in the mountain village, which made Chao Gai's position as the head leader stable, which made him not rush to prove himself because of some trivial matters, and thus made a big mistake.

In addition, just last year, in order to promote the power of the mountain village, Song Jiang and his team used tricks to slap Lu Junyi, the Hebei Yuqilin, tomb and out of the mountain. After that, there was still a tortuous story of Lu Junyi being framed and imprisoned, and the Liangshan people rushed into the Daming Mansion to save people. In this way, Lu Junyi, who was originally famous all over the world, could only be defeated here. At the same time, Liangshanbo became a thorn in the eyes of the Song court. He sent troops to conquer several times, but they were defeated by them with the advantage of the land, defending the mountain village, and at the same time gaining a great reputation.

To this day, the imperial army generally dared not to attack Liangshanpo anymore. The Jeju Prefecture, where the mountain village is located, guards the city tightly, and even the soldiers and horses dared to leave the city at will, for fear of being attacked by the Liangshan army. The name of the heroes of Liangshan has been widely spread throughout the world, and more people in the green forest come to visit.

It is Mid-Autumn Festival today. The leaders of the village gathered together, all smiling, drinking big cubes, eating big pieces of meat, and constantly distributing gold, silver, money and silk from the treasurys of various states. It was really a joy.

But in this environment, Song Jiang, the second-leader, had a faint sadness on his face. Even if a brother came forward to toast, he smiled and toasted, but the smile seemed a little reluctant. His performance naturally fell into the careful Wu Yong's eyes. Taking advantage of a gap, Wu Yong asked in a low voice: "Does your brother have anything to worry about? Why do you always look uneasy today?"

When Song Jiang heard this, he sighed: "Our brothers are living happily in the village, but is this really a long-term solution? Military advisor, you have a great strategy, so you should know what Song Jiang is worried about."

He did not deliberately lower his voice, and was immediately heard by Chao Gai next to him. The latter immediately frowned: "Brother Gongming's words have destroyed my brother's ambitions. Why can't we stay in the village for a long time? Our Liangshan has been growing stronger in recent years. Even the imperial court has repeatedly defeated the soldiers. Can't we still stand in this world?"

"Have you ever heard of how many hamlets can last forever since ancient times? Take the heroes of Wagang Village for example. In the end, they were not romantic. Although I, Liangshanbo, are many brothers, compared to the entire Song Dynasty court, it is only a small place. Although we have won many victories in recent years, it is because the court did not regard us as a great enemy and did not do its best. Now, our momentum is getting bigger and bigger, and it is hard to guarantee that a catastrophe will come to an end."

Chao Gai was shocked by this. Not only him, but also some of the brothers next to him who were very interested, showed deep thoughts and worries. At this time, they could sit in Chao Gai and Song Jiang and the others were all important figures in the mountain village, and they were also smart and knowledgeable. When they thought about it carefully, it was really the case. Seeing this, Song Jiang said with a solemn expression: "Also, even if the court still can't take action against us because of the Southern Fang La, there are still people in our Shandong area that we can't handle easily. Brother, don't forget that Sun Tu returned to Qingzhou a few months ago and took back the military power there. It's not easy for this person to deal with."

When talking about Sun Tu, many people present showed resentment and fear on their faces. You still remember clearly that at the beginning of last year, Zhujiazhuang, who should have been able to capture, suffered the first defeat of the Liangshan Army because he led hundreds of people to rescue him. More than a dozen leaders died. He was the biggest enemy of Liangshanbo.

"It's really a disaster that has left thousands of years. This dog official can actually come back from the Liao Kingdom alive!" Guo Sheng, who was located a little farther away, also showed a rare anger on his face when he heard Sun Tu.

Song Jiang glanced at everyone and then said, "It is precisely because of this that I want to say that we must not be complacent, let alone be negligent. Maybe when the court will send a large army to conquer our brothers."

As soon as these words were said, the atmosphere in the hall, which was already quite warm, was a little cold, and everyone was worried. However, they were all heroes after all. After a little cold, they cheered up again. Someone even raised their glasses and said, "But now our Liangshanbo is no longer what we used to be. If Sun Tu really dares to come, let's use our means to avenge our previous shame!"

Only Wu Yong looked at Song Jiang thoughtfully, feeling that his words had other meanings, and it was just that it was difficult to express the true purpose for a while.

At this time, Chai Jin, who had just joined the village, suddenly spoke: "The brothers are so afraid of Sun Tu. I think they should take advantage of the opportunity of his Qingzhou army being severely injured. I have heard of the reputation of the Qingzhou army before, but in the year when Sun Tu left, they have been defeated by us many times, and the damage is very small. Sun Tu is the elite force, so Qingzhou must be the weakest at this time. It is better to take the opportunity to attack and eliminate this big problem in one fell swoop!"

His proposal immediately won the approval of many brothers present: "It's still Master Chai who has the knowledge, we have ignored this level. Brother Gongming, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Just as Sun Tu took advantage of the new defeat of the Qingzhou army, it was impossible for him to train many new recruits and give him a headache! It is also easy to avenge the dead brothers!"

"This..." Song Jiang suddenly looked puzzled. He had other intentions when he said that he had said that, but he was led on another road. Before he could speak, even Chao Gai nodded and said, "That's right, my Liangshan brothers have suffered such a big loss in so many years. Since he was defeated by Qingzhou Army this time, it is a good opportunity for us to take advantage of the situation. Brother Gongming, what do you think?"

"Brother, that's all. As long as you give me the order, I'm willing to be a pioneer!" Shi Xiu, who was called a desperate mahogany, urging loudly. Then, some other brothers responded one after another, ready to fight, as if they could kill them down the mountain at any time.
