Well, the Kong brothers, who are outnumbered, are determined to go to Liangshanbo to have a look. What is the strength of the destroyed Liangshan?

What right do you have to look down on their brothers?

In Kong Ming's view, a bandit who was forced to take over a mountain and become king because of a failed robbery was not a peer worthy of respect.

Because - unprofessional.

Professionalism is very important for copycat businesses that require technical and strength support.

The success rate is the core criterion for testing the combat effectiveness of a copycat.

It's a pity that Liangshanbo has disappointed people. After a fall when going out, it has become the laughing stock of the industry. Although it has great convenience and occupied Liangshanbo, its subsequent development has not looked like it has become famous.

This is an obvious example for Lu Lin, who relies solely on bragging and reputation to get around, and Liang Shanbo has completely reduced himself to a coward.

In today's Liangshanbo, people don't even dare to fly out the banners of "Practice for Heaven".

Deeply afraid of being remembered by Li Kui, Chao Gai didn't want to deepen the memory of being tied to a pillar and being whipped to death. The nightmare was enough to make him think about it for the rest of his life. But speaking of it, Chao Gai actually felt sad in his heart. I can't figure it out. It was clear that Li Kui had the opportunity to kill them all and even avoid future troubles. Why... did he give them the chance?

The criminals in the custody of the Imperial Guard were finally put on the spot, which is unreasonable.

Yuncheng County, this den of thieves, was simply a lucky place for Chao Gai and others.

Lei Heng, the leader of the infantry squad, and Zhu Tong, the leader of the cavalry squad, were both good brothers of Chao Gai.

When several of them were imprisoned in Yuncheng Prison, they were immediately rescued.

They escaped, but Chao Gai and other leaders of the village all had a shadow on Li Kui. Every one of them was beaten severely by Li Kui, and some were even beaten multiple times by Li Kui.

But Chao Gai thought more. He couldn't figure out why Li Kui let him go.

This is unreasonable!

For several years, he never figured it out.

Because all the leaders of Liangshanbo have psychological trauma, and they are not small. So although Liangshanbo's development is relatively smooth, his reputation is not great. Even the unfavorable forces in the world do not understand them.

This is intolerable!

Wu Yong immediately persuaded Chao Gai to give up his wandering and invited Kong Ming to the village.

Kong Ming also felt that it didn't matter, and wanted to see how strong Liang Shanbo was. If he was not strong enough, maybe he could conquer Liang Shanbo's power.

After all, Liangshanbo in the White-clothed Scholars era did have a lot of momentum, but since Wang Lun was destroyed, Liangshanbo in the Chao Gai era has been much lower profile.

Immediately, he happily agreed.

"Hmph, hum——"

"Ha, Xi——"

When he arrived at Liangshanbo, Kong Ming was shocked to see hundreds of strong men, holding simple knives, standing in a square formation and practicing. When Kong Ming saw this scene, he was frightened and said in his heart: You are bandits! Performing martial arts, isn't this a fancy thing that only the Imperial Guard does? What a joke!

The key point is that for bandits, they are lazy on weekdays, scramble to be the first when robbing homes, and then disperse when the officers and soldiers arrive...

Everyone is just messing around and waiting to die, and their skills have remained above the level of a mob. You have even started practicing martial arts formations.

What's even more outrageous is...

Herod

The cavalry with neighing war horses passed through the military formation like a draft. This formation, let alone the ordinary army, would be difficult for the Imperial Army to use!

But what about Liangshanbo?

It's so easy to use. Among all the bandits in the world, who can compare to Liang Shanbo?

As if a bolt of lightning flashed through Kong Ming's mind, he thought of a possibility and asked Chao Gai with trembling lips: "Brother, you don't really want to rebel, do you?"

"Brother Kong Ming, don't talk nonsense, we are good..."

Wu Yong couldn't say anything about the word "good people". After all, they were bandits and criminals of the imperial court, rebellious officials and traitors whose portraits were pasted at the city gate.

But the bandits, from the day they entered the industry, had their heads in their belts and did not take their own lives seriously.

When he was drunk, he said every day: As long as you are brave, you dare to bring down the emperor.

But rebellion is just a drunken talk. If we really let these people who have no courage do it, let alone bring down the emperor, they would not even dare to kill officials.

After all, for the imperial court, even if Liang Shanbo was really bold enough to kill the county magistrate of Yuncheng County, an eighth-rank petty official (most county magistrates in the Song Dynasty were eighth-rank officials) were in conflict with the imperial court. For

For the imperial court, this was a provocation to its rule and an unforgivable existence. It would inevitably lead to the destruction of the imperial army.

The heroes from Liangshanbo ran out from Yuncheng County. They killed the rich man for money and food. They also killed the petty officials for money and food. But they didn't dare to touch any of the officials.

If it really moved, the entire Jingdong Road would be shaken, and even Kaifeng would be shaken.

But what Kong Ming doesn't understand is why he didn't plan to rebel but instead practiced military formations? You are so strong, can the bandit circle still tolerate you?

Kong Ming felt that Chao Gai and Wu Yong must have ulterior motives and even a big plan, otherwise they would never do anything.

"Brothers, please let me know why we need to train soldiers. I have been to many copycat villages in various places, but I have never seen any copycats that would train soldiers as seriously as my brothers. It is no longer the plan of ordinary copycats.

Well, if you don’t attack the city, you don’t have to spend so much effort, right?”

Kong Ming couldn't understand at all, what happened to these guys in Liang Shanbo?

Wu Yong smiled awkwardly: "The main reason is that I am afraid of the government's encirclement and suppression, so I have to take this step."

These words are true, but they do not necessarily tell the whole truth.

The real truth is: Liang Shanbo's gang was afraid of being beaten by Li Kui. They were not afraid of anything else but that the commander-in-chief who would come to encircle and suppress the village would be Li Kui. They simply wouldn't give them a way to survive!

Li Kui...

Who can beat this guy?

Kong Ming thought it was ridiculous, curled his lips and said: "It's not that I'm talking too much, but brothers, we occupy the mountain and are kings. As long as we can defeat the peasants, soldiers and government officials in the county, this has been done, and the territory can be established."

.Why should we be afraid of the officers and soldiers? Will the officers and soldiers keep an eye on us?"

These words made even Chao Gai feel bitter in his mouth.

He looked at Wu Yong helplessly, and listened to the minions behind him shouting heartily during training. If they were ordinary people, they wouldn't need to go to such great lengths.

But their opponents are so powerful that they must have high standards and strict requirements.

Chao Gai smiled bitterly and said: "The goal of Liang Shanbo's training of soldiers is to target the Feilian Army, at least to reach this level. But I am short of money and weapons, and I am afraid it will be difficult even for the ordinary Forbidden Army to deal with it."

"Fei Lianjun?"

Kong Ming looked like he had known this all along and said angrily: "Brother, I knew you were going to rebel."

If Fei Lianjun is regarded as an imaginary enemy, what else can it be but a rebellion?

The Fei Lian Army is now the most elite army in the Song Dynasty. I heard that in the northwest, 20,000 Fei Lian Army swept through the 100,000 Qingtang Royal Court, decided the world in one battle, and recovered the land of Hehuang.

There was also the Xixia army, which suffered repeated defeats against Fei Lian's army.

If Liangshan Bo really had the ability to challenge Fei Lianjun, he might really be able to divide the territory and have the capital to split the Song Dynasty.

"It's not a rebellion, it's just that we are really suffering unspeakably. Part of the reason why our brothers have fallen into disgrace is because the imperial taxes are getting heavier and heavier, and everyone is suffering unspeakably. The other reason is that all of our brothers have been targeted by Li Kui

Brother Kong Ming, you also know that the Fei Lian Army is an elite force trained by Li Kui. I heard that this son will lead the army and will definitely use the Fei Lian Army. We are afraid that one day we will face Li Kui and will not be able to protect ourselves.

"

When Chao Gai said this, he laughed a little awkwardly and said: "To be honest, none of us have ever won at the hands of Li Kui. It's so frustrating."

Chao Gai's words were not false, but true.

He often woke up from dreams in the middle of the night. When he woke up, he would always find that his underwear was soaked in cold sweat, as if he had been fished out of the water. In the dream, Li Kui held a whip and sneered at him. He would never forget it in his life.

No. Not only him, but also others. Liu Tang ran away when he saw Li Kui and didn't even have the courage to take action. The same was true for Li Jun and others.

Except for Lei Heng, who had never been severely beaten by Li Kui and who clamored all day long to discuss the ranking of heroes in the world with Li Kui, almost everyone on Liangshan Mountain was in danger.

Li Kui is the obstacle that all of them cannot overcome.

"So..." Kong Ming looked at Chao Gai with a look of pity in his eyes: "Brother Chao Gai may not be able to make it this time. This time from black to white, from darkness to light, a trip to the capital is indispensable. And Li Kui

Now I happen to be an official in the capital. If you go there, it will be very bad."

"Brother Kong Ming, don't worry, we also have people who have broken into the capital." Wu Yong had heard Kong Ming praise Haikou before, saying that he had a thousand men and horses, and he wanted to recruit Kong Ming to Liangshan's command. He told Liangshan's difficulties, this is called

Confess your heart. When talking about Liangshan's advantages, you must speak loudly and let the other party strengthen their confidence.

Wu Yongdao: "Brother Xian, you don't know that we have a brother who is now in the capital."

Open a warehouse?

Start a restaurant?

For bandits, these two professions serve as cover. After all, even they who are too professional cannot do it.

Kong Ming was indeed aroused by Wu Yong's words and asked curiously: "Brother Wu Yong, which brother is doing business in the capital?"

"Be an official!"

Kong Ming was depressed. He felt that although he was not smart, you deceived him in broad daylight in front of so many people. This was an insult to his IQ!

He wanted to leave angrily, but... there was water all around.

It was easy to come here, but without a boat, he can't go back!
