Reborn in the Water Margin as emperor, built tanks to level the world

"And this person is none other than Gao Lian, a direct relative of Gao Qiu who has now rebelled in Shuibo Liangshan and is serving as the magistrate of Gaotang Prefecture."

"Master Yang Jian said to Wei Chen, the reason why he mentioned this person to Wei Chen:"

"One is that I want to give that noble and honest man a chance to atone for his sins to the ancestors of the Gao family."

"After all, Gao Qiu's defection has made the entire Gao clan collectively bear the charge of being a black sheep."

"If the Gao clan wants to get rid of those people who seek glory behind the Lord's side, are greedy for life and afraid of death, and have deep-rooted thieves."

"I can only take advantage of this opportunity to kill Gao Qiu's family in a righteous way and kill Gao Qiu's servant in front of the two armies."

"So at this time, if the official can order Gao Lian to fight in Shuibo Liangshan, according to Wei Chen's expectation, Gao Lian will definitely not refuse."

"As for the second reason besides this, it is that Master Yang Jianyang heard news from the soldiers who had returned from the rout before that, which shocked the two of us."

"That is, there is not only a grass bandit leader with excellent military power on the water in Liangshan, but also a Taoist thief with extremely powerful magic who is sitting there."

"The first two times, whether led by Gao Qiu or Tong Guan, the reason why they were so completely defeated when they attacked Shuibo Liangshan."

"Nine times out of ten, it's precisely because the imperial army was hit by the opponent's evil spell."

"And Wei Chen, where is the Gao Lian that I just mentioned to the officials?"

"In addition to being a direct relative of Gao Qiu, what is even more rare is that he also learned countless Taoist methods from some Taoist ancestors in his youth."

"The reason why the minister asked the officials to let Gao Lian go into battle this time is because he wanted Gao Lian to face the Xuanmen scum in Liangshan."

"This will allow our imperial army to be more confident when quelling the banditry in Shuibo Liangshan."

"But I don't know what the official's attitude is towards Wei Chen's suggestion."

"Please also ask the officials to make it clear."

Zhao Ji nodded slowly, and after pondering for a long time, he finally said:

"But I never thought that there would be such powerful relatives in Gao Qiu's family."

"If this is the case, then it is quite necessary to bring Gao Lian into this battle."

"That's it!"

Liang Shicheng grinned at Zhao Ji, who was sitting on the dragon chair.

Immediately, he immediately shouted for the wisdom of the officials:

"In addition, Wei Chen also wants to bring his younger brother Zhong Shizhong, who is still banned from the Zhongshi Dao, with him."

"The ancestors of that kind of clan are all capable of conquering and fighting."

"When it is passed down to a Zhongshi Tao Zhongshi in this lifetime, whether it is his ability to lead troops in battle or his prestige in the military."

"That is almost unrivaled in our court."

"So Wei Chen suggested that in this battle, not only should he bring that kind of master, but also his disciples should also be called on, so as to ensure that nothing goes wrong in this battle."

Zhao Ji slowly waved his hand towards Liang Shicheng:

"It's all correct."

"But I wonder if there are any other generals from Liang Aiqing who would like to be transferred over?"

Liang Shicheng lowered his head and pondered for a while, then slowly shook his head:

"Reporting to the official family, it seems that it is indeed gone."

"Five generals in the capital, plus three generals in Qingzhou."

"As well as Gao Lian from Gaotang Province, there are nine generals in total."

"Including Wei Chen and Master Yang Jian Yang, the total number of senior generals is eleven."

"As for the 20 troops who are about to lead the expedition, according to Wei Chen's opinion, 15 imperial guards should be mobilized from the capital."

"Then we will gather [-] troops from Gaotangzhou, Qingzhou, and Jining."

"Together, there are 20 troops."

"With such a scale of soldiers and generals, we will be able to march to Shuibo Liangshan in the future."

"Even if our heavenly soldiers don't send out a single soldier, just talking about their momentum, they can scare the more than ten thousand grass bandits in the water puddles on the Liangshan Mountains to death, making them uneasy day and night."

"So, Weichen here has both confidence and self-confidence, and even more strength."

"This battle must be won, must be won!"

Zhao Ji smiled.

That smile is truly brilliant:

"In this case, the two beloved ministers will immediately return to the military camp to train the army horses."

"But as the saying goes, a long embankment begins in an ant nest."

"Even this time, no matter how many imperial troops you two command, you still have to plan all the details when preparing the army and during the march."

"In this way, we can be foolproof."

After Zhao Ji finished saying this, he planned to leave the court.

However, when he glanced casually among the officials, he discovered that Su Yuanjing, who was standing at the head of the queue of civil servants, was holding a jade plaque and looked like he was hesitant to speak.

This and that really aroused Zhao Ji's curiosity:

"Su Aiqing, I heard that you were ill a few days ago, but I didn't know how your recovery was going before the court today?"

"If you still feel unwell, then Su Aiqing, you can continue to rest at home for a few days."

"It won't be too late to discuss this matter again after the body has fully recovered."

Su Yuanjing was naturally very moved when he heard what Zhao Ji said.

After walking out of the queue, he saluted Zhao Jishen:

"Thank you for your concern, the humble minister has almost recovered."

"It's just that Wei Chen has one more thing to say, but he's afraid that the officials will be unhappy after hearing about it."

"So Wei Chen struggled over and over in his mind whether he should tell the officials about that matter."

Zhao Ji grinned, and then looked at Su Yuanjing standing under the imperial steps with curiosity:

"My beloved, I have something in my heart, but there's no harm in telling it."

After Su Yuanjing pondered for a while, he sorted out what he was thinking:

"When I returned to the official house, what I was thinking about was that since the group of grass bandits on Shuibo Liang Mountain have such strong combat capabilities, and there is an immortal king who can use Taoist magic to guard them."

"If that's the case, why don't we, the Song Dynasty court, recruit this force from Shuibo Liangshan to settle down?"

"If the great plan of recruiting security can be accomplished, we can add an invincible army to our Song Dynasty court."

"At the same time, it can also save the people around us from the suffering of war."

"Saving the court's military expenditure can also prevent innocent soldiers from dying on the battlefield."

"Isn't this a great act of kindness?"

Su Yuanjing's words really spoke to Zhao Ji's heart.

After sitting on the dragon chair, he pondered for a long time with a tangled face, but still could not give an accurate opinion.
