Chapter 726: The Liangshan Clan
When Tian Ji and Sun Bin, these two powerful generals, join forces, an ordinary commander who has just entered the saint level may not be able to do anything to them.
Now Tian Ji, a talented general, has been hidden by Jiang Xiaobai as he did before. It is obvious that he wants to repeat the same old tricks and plot against the Hengzhou army again.
There is no guarantee that there may not be another Tian Dan who is even more hidden behind Tian Ji.
What's more, Jiang Xiaobai, Duke Huan of Qi, is not a person with a confused mind.
On the contrary, he employed Guan and Bao, strengthened the army and enriched the people, united the nine states, brought peace to the world, rebuilt Xing and Wei, expelled Rong and Di, and made Qi the first of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period.
He was outstanding in both civil and military affairs and was the first overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period. Even Confucius praised him as "the one who united the nine states" and "the one who brought peace to the world."
With the methods of Duke Huan of Qi, those aristocratic families in Wuzhou must have been united by him long ago, and their determination to resist would definitely be greatly increased.
In addition, with so many talented people under his command and all the ministers working together, and with so many Yellow Turban soldiers under Zhu Wen serving as cannon fodder, Wuzhou may not be easy to conquer now.
However, what comforted Su Ye was that Meng Zhang had foresight before. In order to defeat the Wuzhou Yellow Turban Army at the lowest cost, he directly sent Niu Mo, his top general, to the Wuzhou Yellow Turban Army.
Although Zhu Wen and others have gained power and seized control of a lot of the Yellow Turban Army in Wuzhou, the core group of the Yellow Turban Warriors and nearly 100,000 Yellow Turban Army near Taiyuan Prefecture, the capital of Wuzhou, are still firmly controlled by Niu Mo and Red Boy in Taiyuan Prefecture.
And with the continuous invitations from Zhu Wen, Jiang Xiaobai and others, Niu Mo also took advantage of the situation and joined in, forming an alliance with Zhu Wen, Jiang Xiaobai and others.
Therefore, this is also one of Su Ye’s major trump cards.
Even one of your three bosses is my man, what can you use to fight me?
At the same time, on the other side in Wuzhou, with the cooperation of the two heroes Zhu Wen and Jiang Xiao, after winning over Niu Mo from Taiyun Mansion, their power became even stronger.
But the two were not satisfied with this. They also knew that it would be a pipe dream to rely solely on the Yellow Turban Army in Wuzhou to resist the fierce and powerful army under the command of the Duke of Zhenguo.
Therefore, after winning over Niu Mo, they immediately turned their attention to a more distant place, the Liangshan faction that had been defeated under the iron hoof of Duke Zhenguo Su Ye and was now wandering like a stray dog.
Now they are like lost dogs, and it is the best time to recruit them.
"Brother Jiuyin, what do you think we should do next?"
Zhu Wen sat upright in the tent, his eyes deep and his tone questioning.
Zhu Jiuyin, who was standing aside, was thinking with his head down. Upon hearing this, he slowly raised his head, with a gleam of light in his eyes.
"Brother Zhu, why don't you turn your attention to the Taiping Sect headquarters in the south?"
"Although the Yellow Turban Army of Liangshan that has been roaming around the headquarters was severely damaged by the Duke of Zhenguo Su Ye, it was a force that should not be underestimated. Now that they have nowhere to go, it is a good time for us to recruit them."
Zhu Jiuyin spoke softly. Although his voice was soft, every word was sharp and hit the point directly.
"Well, that makes sense, but do they dare to come?"
"The situation between us and the Duke of Zhenguo is now a fight to the death. The Liangshan faction's ambitions were broken by the Duke of Zhenguo in the previous battle. I'm afraid they may not dare to face the Duke of Zhenguo again."
Zhu Wen raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and he was obviously quite interested in this proposal. "Don't worry, brother Zhu. People's hearts are all about benefits. As long as we promise enough benefits, they will come naturally."
"What's more, the Liangshan faction is now desperate. The olive branch we extend is undoubtedly a life-saving straw for them."
Zhu Jiuyin smiled slightly, appearing confident.
Song Jiang and other members of the Liangshan group had lost the support of the Taiping Sect because they had abandoned their teammates and fled alone.
Now he can only live outside the Taiping Cult headquarters, like a wandering ghost.
If Zhu Wen and other Yellow Turban Army members in Wuzhou were willing to accept them, Song Jiang and others would not hesitate even if they had to face Su Ye again.
So, a secret letter, carrying the intention of Zhu Wen and Jiang Xiaobai to win over Song Jiang, passed through numerous blockades and was delivered to Song Jiang's hands.
At this time, Song Jiang was wandering around the Taiping Sect headquarters with the remnants of the Liangshan army. The brotherhood of the past seemed so pale and powerless in the face of life and death.
When Song Jiang received the secret letter, he opened it and saw that the letter was sincere and promised huge profits. It also promised that as long as they were willing to join the Wuzhou Alliance headed by Zhu Wen, Jiang Xiaobai and Niu Mo, a fertile land would be allocated in Wuzhou as a place for the Liangshan group to settle down.
This immediately made Song Jiang's heart move. Now the days of their Liangshan group are not easy. All the forces in the Taiping Sect don't like them.

Now there are people willing to accept them and even allocate a piece of land to them. This is undoubtedly a huge temptation for Song Jiang and others who have no place to live.
After receiving the letter, Song Jiang felt mixed emotions.
Thinking back to the past, the heroes of Liangshan were so high-spirited and ambitious, but because of their momentary fear of death, they ended up being deserted by their friends and relatives and became homeless.
Now, this sudden "olive branch" was like a ray of light in their darkness, giving Song Jiang hope of reviving the prestige of Liangshan.
"Brothers, we can't keep drifting like this!"
"Zhu Wen's proposal may be our chance to turn things around. As long as we have our own territory, we can recruit soldiers again and revive the glory of Liangshan!"
In the simple tent, Song Jiang glanced at Wu Yong, Hua Rong, Liu Tang and others who were lowering their heads.
Among all the heroes of Liangshan under Song Jiang's command, Tiangang Star Lu Junyi, the strongest fighter, was intercepted by Su Ye and joined the Jiuxiao Army from the very beginning.
In the last battle between Liangshan and Su Ye, the stronger ones like Wu Song and the Five Tiger Generals like Hu Yanzhuo, Guan Sheng and Lin Chong were captured alive by Fang Zhong, Bei Kai and others of the Five Elements Armor.
Therefore, even though Song Jiang still has dozens of leaders under his command, those who understand know their actual quality, and most of them are just there to make up the numbers.
Therefore, as soon as Song Jiang's words came out, the heroes below heard it, although they still had doubts in their hearts, but thinking of their past glory and current desolation, they could only nod in agreement.
After all, in these troubled times, having a safe place to stay is more important than anything else.
They knew that Song Jiang was right. Instead of waiting to die here, they might as well give it a try and perhaps create a new world.
