Yan Qing secretly told Lu Junyi about Xu Guanzhong's affairs in the Wei army.

Lu Junyi was shocked. He knew very well who his best friend was.

Xu Guanzhong was originally a man with lofty ambitions and devoted himself to serving his country. He had even obtained the first prize in martial arts. If he had not been a treacherous person in the government, how could he have been ostracized until he became disheartened and ended up running to a mountain village to become a hermit.

"Xiao Yi, I remember you seemed to have mentioned Shi Jin before?" Lu Junyi suddenly thought of something and asked.

"Commissioner, have you forgotten that a few years ago, I asked you for leave and said I was bringing a friend to find Mr. Xu? That person was Jiu Wenlong Shi Jin." Yan Qing said.

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

Yan Qing thought about it for a moment and said: "Young, heroic, skilled in martial arts, and a little bit aloof."

"How does it compare to Song Pioneer?" Lu Junyi asked.

Yan Qing smiled and said: "How can this be compared? That Shi Jin was a forthright and open-minded person, he was very kind to the people around him and he was extravagant. He was much brighter than the leader of Song Village."

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

"I remember that time Shi Jin wanted to ask Mr. Xu to help, but Mr. Xu refused on the grounds of serving his mother as a filial duty. Not only was Shi Jin not unhappy, he also left many gifts for Mr. Xu. Later I heard Mr. Xu say

, and even gave him more than ten ingots of gold as a gift that day. Compared with this, Song Jiang and Wu Yong’s method of inviting people to go up the mountain was too despicable." Yan Qing said.

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

"No, what kind of relationship does Mr. Xu have with a member of the Communist Party of China? How could I betray his information?" Yan Qing said.

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

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

"Xiao Yi, don't talk nonsense. This is in the military camp. Just keep some things in your heart. Remember that in this battle, you must put your own safety first, and don't go to any lengths." Lu Junyi said in a low voice.

Yan Qing seemed to understand something and nodded to express his understanding.

The two of them didn't know that while they were talking quietly, one of them was tossing and turning and couldn't sleep.

It was none other than the flower monk Lu Zhishen.

Everyone in Erlong Mountain knew that Shi Jin was his best friend. He had lived in the village for more than half a month, and he 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 did not expect that Shi Jin's ambitions were so grand that he would rebel and become king in the north.

"I wonder if my brother Lin Chong has settled in Shi Jin. How will I deal with the war in a few days?" Lu Zhishen began to think wildly.

'Hey, what Brother Lin said seems reasonable. What's the point of recruiting people? Am I going to give up my position 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, as soon as he got up and washed up, before breakfast, a boy came over to send a message, saying that Zhang Shuye, the envoy of Xuanfu in Hebei Province, was inviting him.

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

However, as he was in the army, he couldn't let his temper go and 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 walked into the lobby, he saw Zhang Shuye sitting upright. There were many officers he didn't recognize next to him. They must have been the defenders of Xingzhou. There were only three people he knew, Song Jiang, Lu Junyi, and Wu Yong.

"Common people see the commander-in-chief." Lu Zhishen saluted quickly.

"There is no need to be polite, Yishi Lu. I invited you here today to ask some questions. I heard that you had a good relationship with Shi Jin of the Wei Dynasty 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 I was serving as a governor in Weizhou. Because he came to Weizhou to look for his master Wang Jin, we got to know each other by chance. Later, Cao Min died in the Crock Temple, or

He reached out to help me, and later he brought several brothers to Erlong Mountain to see me."

Zhang Shuye nodded. He understood the situation about the same, so he asked again: "Yishi Lu, how is this Shi Jin like a person?"

"Luxurious and refreshing, even though he is just a young village owner in Shijiacun, he is very insightful about people and things. After a few encounters, I knew that he was not just a person obsessed with martial arts as rumored." Lu Zhishen said.

"What else?" Zhang Shuye asked.

"Well, it's nothing. Shi Jin and I have only met each other a few times, and we haven't been together as long as those brothers in Erlongshan." Lu Zhishen said.

Zhang Shuye nodded and sent him back.

Lu Zhishen didn't know why, and didn't dare to ask any more questions. After saluting, he quickly left the commander's residence.

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 a powerful man from Huayin County came to Hebei and caused such a big thing."

"Commander, I want to..." Song Jiang seemed to understand something and said.

Zhang Shuye nodded and said: "I do have the intention of recruiting An Shijin. A battle involving hundreds of thousands of people will really lead to a loss of lives. It would be best if there is no killing."

"Commander, I think that Shi Jin may not have the intention to submit to the imperial court. Otherwise, how could he set up a pseudo-imperial court and enfeoff hundreds of officials? It is clear that he wants to rebel." Wu Yong said.

"What Wu Xuexiu said makes sense. In fact, I know in my heart that recruiting people for peace is just a fantasy. I have called everyone here today to discuss how to fight." Zhang Shuye said.

"General, do you want to start a war soon?" Zhan Shouan, the commander of Xingzhou's horse army, asked.

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

"Is the commander-in-chief worried about the new policy imposed by Wei Dynasty?" Wu Yong asked.

"It's true. Light corvee and low taxes win people's hearts. I'm afraid that over time, the hearts of the people in the northern border will be in the pseudo-Wei Dynasty." Zhang Shuye said.

"Commander, I think the Wei army stationed at Julu seems to want to fight us head-on on the plains. In this case, there is no need to use any strategy at all and we can only fight hard. Even if we send a cavalry army to take a detour, it will be difficult to avoid it.

Their investigation scope." Zhan Shou'an said.

"I understand that this is why I have summoned you all. We must send all the troops with the best ability to fight in this battle. I think this battle is very likely to be the only one to judge the rebellion." Zhang Shuye said.

As soon as his words came out, Song Jiang, Lu Junyi, Wu Yong, Zhan Shou'an and other Xingzhou defenders were all stunned. They only fought one decisive battle. Isn't this tactics too Menglang?

However, since Zhang Shuye was a high-ranking official, he could do whatever he said, and everyone declared that they would use the strongest force in the army to fight in Julu.

The Commander-in-Chief's Mansion has made pre-war arrangements and has made arrangements for all armies and horses.

Turning to Song Jiang, Lu Junyi, after returning to the military camp, repeated the military orders of Marshal Zhang, the Xuanfu envoy, and then began to mobilize troops.

According to the management of the village, Song Jiang led a group of loyal brothers as his troops, while Lu Junyi led those marginal figures as his troops.

After the names were called, the leaders of the village each took their tasks and returned to the camp to prepare.

Lu Zhishen suddenly found that he had been thrown to the side to cool down. He, the infantry leader, did not even have a chance to go to the front line.

He originally wanted to ask Song Jiang, Wu Yong and others, but then he gave up the idea after thinking about it. He knew in his heart that this was because his friendship with Jiu Wenlong Shi Jin was suspected by Hei Sanlang and others.

Monk Hua touched his bald head and walked away in anger, returned to the tent, went to bed, covered himself with a quilt and fell asleep.

Wang Dingliu watched secretly from outside the account, and when he saw that he did not complain, he quietly left to report to Song Jiang and others.

Within three days, at Zhang Shuye's urging, the army set off to march towards Julu City.

Lu Zhishen was assigned the task of escorting grain and fodder by Wu Yong, and was organizing the army's supplies at the back. Monk Hua didn't take it seriously. He didn't want to meet Shi Jin's swordsman in the first place, so he was at leisure.

As for Zhang Shuye, he selected the elite of the Xingzhou army and left the old, weak and cowardly ones to defend the city. He also brought the Liangshan army, which he thought had higher combat capabilities, along the way. In less than three days, he arrived and set up camp outside Julu City.

He understands that time lies in the Wei Dynasty and not in the court. If the Wei Dynasty continues to implement the laws, it is not difficult to imagine that all those poor people will become supporters of the Wei Dynasty. It will be difficult to win over.
