Chapter 114 Alliance
That night, Lu Qian had a private banquet with Deng Yuanjue, and the two of them had a very fast meal, and before the hour of the watch, Monk Baoguang got up to leave.Lu Qian then arrived at the Juyi Hall. Not long after, all the leaders except Wang Dingliu who opened a store in the state capital and Zhu Fuwai who was active in Yuncheng County were all present.

Everyone sat down, and when Lu Qian revealed the intention of Monk Baoguang's visit, the entire Juyi hall was in commotion.

"Alliance!" The purpose of Deng Yuanjue's visit to Liangshan was to form an alliance with Liangshan on behalf of Jiangnan Fangla and his group.This Manichaeism's plan is indeed very large.Otherwise, just walk around in the green forest, where do you need to form an alliance with Qilu?

Reminiscent of Deng Yuanjue's words, some leaders have realized in their hearts that Manichaeism is going to do great things.

"It was 400 years ago that Manichaeism was introduced to China. At first, it was only popular in the western regions of Mobei. It entered the Huaihe River during the reign of Emperor Daizong of the Tang Dynasty and became known to people in the south of the Yangtze River. When Emperor Wu Zong exterminated Buddhism, Manichaeism was also severely damaged and turned around. Sneaking underground, it turned into a secret door. By this time, it had become a secret society of Buddhists, Taoists, witches, peasants, workers, officials, soldiers, green forest heroes, gangsters, local tyrants, etc. The believers were dressed in white and black hats. He has always been feared by the Jiangnan government."

Many of what Lu Qian said were the memories of the original owner of Lu Qian. The palace commander's office could receive intelligence from all over the country. The Jiangnan government's worries about the growing popularity of Manichaeism had long been sent to the capital. Lu Qian As Marquis Yu of the Palace Commander's Mansion, he could also get access to some unimportant news.Although Gao Qiu didn't pay much attention to these news, but Lu Qian's status was low, so he still couldn't see what he couldn't see.

"The current emperor is not a wise emperor. Over the past ten years, Dasuo Huashi has caused a miasma in the official circles in the south of the Yangtze River, and the people of the Li people have suffered even more. I don't know how many people have joined his religion, which has made the Manichaeism grow stronger. Like today's Zhao If the emperor is still disabled and the people are like this, sooner or later there will be great chaos in the Jiangnan border."

The meaning of Lu Qian's words is very clear, that means that Fang La will rebel sooner or later.

Lu Zhishen opened his eyes, "So this Fang La is so bold, and he has plotted against me, Liangshan. Deng Yuanjue said that he came to form an alliance, and he is afraid that he used our Liangshan heroes as his Manichean cover-up card is true."

"Senior brother is very true." Lin Chong first praised Lu Zhishen, then saluted Lu Qian, and said, "Jiangnan and Liangshan are separated in the north and south, and they are far away from each other. It is too hypocritical to say that they are an alliance. The army conquered my cottage At that time, could it be that Fang La can send troops to help?" Obviously, he also disagreed.

It is really a verbal alliance, which is too frivolous.If Deng Yuanjue could promise to send a few experts like him to help, the amount would be two points, and the sincerity would be two points.But Manichaeism underestimated Liang Shan at the beginning and only regarded Liang Shan as a blocking pawn. How could Deng Yuanjue say such things.

"Brother, younger brother also thinks it's impossible." Xue Yong stood up next to Lin Chong and reported.

"When my younger brother was wandering in the rivers and lakes, the land in the south of the Yangtze River also passed by. The local people really suffered from the hardships of the flowers and stones. The Manichaeism is also really powerful, and the name of Lapo in the south of the Yangtze River is great. But my younger brother never Haven't heard of friends in the Jianghu mentioning that the Manichaeism is preparing to rebel? Maybe it's a secret matter, and it won't be known to outsiders, but it can also be seen that its armor is insufficient." If the armor is well prepared, there will always be some gossip in the Jianghu of. "Its soldiers are unprepared, and they are not strong enough. How can they achieve great things? There are many heroes in the Manichaeism, and there are countless disciples, who are not afraid of death. fight?

The officers and soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River are weak, whether it is the forbidden army or the local soldiers, they are all vulnerable.If the Manichaeism suddenly attacked, it might be able to be a hero for a while and sweep the capitals of three or five states.But just wait for the emperor in Tokyo city to dispatch officials and troops from other places, how can that group of mobs resist? "The soldiers and horses in Liangshan are being 'regularized' for a while now, and the leaders have learned the power of regular warfare, and they have heard too much about Lu Zhishen's bragging about how good the Western Army is. More importantly, the shock that little Li Guanghuarong gave to the leaders of the Shanzhai lies in In front of him, it hasn't faded away yet, Huarong's existence reflects the authenticity of Lu Zhishen's words. Emperor Zhao still has many soldiers who can fight and kill. The Western Army alone has 30 million people.

These people just know how powerful the real elite of the army is when they fight against the grass and green forest methods, so they know how little the real value of the mob of the rivers and lakes is.Unsurprisingly, he looked down on Fang La a lot.

"My Liangshan still has these [-] miles of water to rely on. How dangerous is the land in the south of the Yangtze River? At that time, the elite army attacked, and it would be destroyed by boiling water and snow. My Liangshan is like forming an alliance with it. If Fang La asked for reinforcements when he was in crisis, wouldn't he just sit there?"

But Xue Yong thought that the Manichaeism was about to rebel, so it was not allowed.But what he said was orderly and reasonable, which was very brilliant.After the voice fell, many leaders said yes.Instead, he reminded Lu Qian of a 'fact'. After hearing his words, many leaders of the cottage mistakenly thought that Fang La was going to rebel in the near future.And Lu Qian carefully recalled the conversation he had with Deng Yuanjue just now. The latter really didn't say when he was going to rebel against the Song Dynasty, but vaguely seemed to say that he would rebel soon.Just because Lu Qian 'knew' that Fang La would eventually rebel in a few years, he subconsciously ignored this.Because at that time, Liang Shan and Fang La were really good allies who could echo from the north to the south.

But there were still a few years in the middle, but it was "eaten" by Lu Qian.In this way, the current Liangshan, with Liangshan's current strength, is indeed a bit incompatible with Fang La, who will "soon" rebel, and it is difficult to echo Fang La.

So in the eyes of Lu Zhishen and Lin Chong, it was Fang La who wanted Liangshan to be a shield, a target to attract Zhao Song's attention, so naturally they did not agree.Xue Yong also thinks so, but speaks better.

Most of the leaders in the Juyi Hall disagree, which shows that they are still a little self-aware, knowing that Liangshan's strength is too weak now.Of the twenty cottage leaders, except for Li Kui, who shut up and was a puppet, screaming and running to Tokyo, the others still have some brains.

Lu Qian turned his head and made a decision.Let's give up on this alliance first, and wait a few more years, and it is not bad to form an alliance with Liangshan when its strength grows stronger.Now even if it is an alliance, it is useless.

And he had already thought about what he would say to Deng Yuanjue the next time they talked.Considering what Deng Yuanjue said, he seemed to agree that Manichaeism would soon start an army...

This alone was enough to render Deng Yuanjue speechless.

Sure enough, when Lu Qian and Deng Yuanjue talked about this matter again in the afternoon of the next day, when he asked whether the Manichaeism was going to raise troops today, Deng Yuanjue was speechless and speechless.

At this point, there is no need to mention the alliance.

But the two families are also regarded as taking over the friendship and getting involved.For example, Deng Yuanjue asked Lu Qian to send a hundred good horses to the south within this year, and the deposit will be paid in a few days, so that Liangshan will not suffer any debts.Lu Qian also asked the Manichaeism to recruit a group of shipwrights and boatmen for him in the south of the Yangtze River, as well as the timber for shipbuilding, so the Manichaeism would not be disadvantaged.In Deng Yuanjue's view, this is naturally a small matter, and a hundred good horses is not too difficult in Lu Qian's view.Both sides agreed to everything, which was very refreshing.

Therefore, Lu Qian also agreed to let Deng Yuanjue stay on the mountain, waiting for the battle with the army in the future, so that he can learn more.He wasn't afraid that Fang La would wake up.The organization method of the Manichaeism is a secret association, and the population in the south of the Yangtze River is dense. Even if Fang La knows the formation of the army, he can't find a suitable place to practice on a large scale, let alone train the coach of the troops.

In Liangshan in the original book, there are many official figures; while Fang La and his gang all came from grassy rivers and lakes, they can be regarded as grassroots through and through.

On Liangshan Mountain, there are professionals like Lin Chong, the instructors of the Forbidden Army; there are strong men like Lu Zhishen who have fought against the Xixia Army; and there is also the fish and meat provided by Lu Qian who spared no effort, and there is no shortage of money and food. Only then can the Liangshan Army train to its full potential in a winter. Come.What does Fang La have?
The total amount of Manichaeism is definitely far more than Liangshan today, but compared to the per capita, that is the gap between China and developed countries in later generations.Even if Fang La could see and know everything about Liangshan, he would not be able to learn it.

Deng Yuanjue also sent an entourage to the south to report the news to Fang La as soon as possible.

 Thanks for the reward of the crazy and stinky salted fish, thank you for your support.
