Chapter 106: Open Cards (Subscription Request)

Han Tao was knocked over by Yang Chang with one move. The followers behind him didn't dare to step forward at all, so they were controlled by the minions who rushed over.

Not far away, Hu Yanzhuo and Hu Sanniang had just fought.

He knew that he could not defeat his opponent in a hurry, so he wanted to buy time for Han Tao by fighting for a while, thinking that the two of them could then attack together to kill the enemy. However, just as he had just swung out a blow with the steel whip, he heard Yang Chang shouting in victory.

Ok?
So fast?
With a clang, sparks flew.

Hu Yanzhuo swung out with both whips at the same time, and when he turned his head while retracting the whips, he really saw Han Tao falling to the ground and Yang Changzheng coming towards him with his spear. He was immediately shocked.

How come the tactics that Han Tao and I used were used by our opponents?
Who is this man in golden armor?

"drive!"

Hu Yanzhuo did not dare to continue fighting, so he rode away decisively.

Hu Sanniang quickly turned her Qingcong horse to chase after him, and Yang Chang also galloped his horse and charged from the side with his spear in hand, but Hu Yanzhuo was riding the imperially bestowed Kicking Snow Black Horse, and the couple were left behind after only two miles of chasing.

Yang Chang had the unique skill [Meteor Shatter], but he did not use it on Hu Yanzhuo.

Firstly, he had no hidden weapons on him, and secondly, he was worried that his special skills would be seen by the minions. Although Wang Aihu was most likely dead, Li Kui who was ambushed was still alive and well, and Yang Chang didn't want to create any more trouble.

In addition, Li Jun mentioned unintentionally that Song Jiang secretly ordered him and Zhang Shun to track down the navy and obtain all the information on the day Wang Aihu disappeared, which shows that Hei Sanlang has always remembered this matter.

"The old thief ran pretty fast."

"This guy's horse is too fast. We have tried our best. The master was so powerful just now."

"You just know?"

When Yang Chang was joking with a smile, he suddenly remembered that he had not picked up any corpses today, so it was a waste to come out. So his face changed and he said seriously: "My wife, you take the prisoners and the team back to the mountain first. I want to take a look at the battlefield ahead."

"Hu Yanzhuo has run away, why are you still going to the front?" Hu Sanniang was surprised.

Yang Chang raised the gun in his hand and said with a pursed mouth: "My husband is not yet familiar with weapons. I have to go to the battlefield to pick one up quickly. If I go too late, it will become something else."

"This..." Hu Sanniang thought for a moment and murmured, "It may not be appropriate to pick it up. Now Tang Long can fight with weapons, so why don't you just fight directly..."

"We'll talk about it later!"

Yang Chang didn't wait for Hu Sanniang to finish speaking, and rushed out like an arrow on his horse.

He originally thought he could make a fortune, but half of Hu Yanzhuo's 3,000 armored horses had their hooves injured by the hook-and-sickle spears, many of the armored soldiers on the saddles fell and were captured, and the 5,000 infantrymen either fell into the water or were surrounded.

These captured officers and soldiers came to conquer Liangshan just because they were ordered to do so. At the critical moment of life and death, they had no intention of dying for their loyalty and soon chose to surrender to Liangshan to save their lives.

Yang Chang came in a hurry and picked up a dozen corpses, all of which were weapon experience and riding experience, but he could not upgrade because the number of picked up was too small.

He took a boat and waded back to the other side, where he saw Hu Sanniang waiting for him at Jinshatan. The 300 followers he had temporarily assigned to him had also returned to their original camp.

"Where's Han Tao?"

"I have been sent to the Juyi Hall. Sir, have you not found a suitable weapon?"

"No."

Even if Yang Changxun found it, he would have to say no, because his purpose was not for the weapons.

Seeing his frustrated look, Hu Sanniang quickly suggested, "Sir, just don't pick it up. Just use any weapon you like. You are strong and heavy weapons are the best match for you. How about making a mace?"

“Forget it, I don’t like it.”

Yang Chang raised his hand and waved it, thinking, how ugly is that thing? I can upgrade my weapon skills, so I must get a cool weapon.

"How about a large spear? Something like the one Han Tao used?"

"Don't worry, my lady. Let's go up the mountain to rest first, and then we can think about it slowly when we get back."

"Alright."

Before Yang Chang and Hu Sanniang returned to the mountain to report, Han Tao had already surrendered under the persuasion of Peng Qi and Ling Zhen. So as soon as the couple entered the Juyi Hall, they were stared at by many eyes in the hall. Among them, Han Tao, who was sitting and talking with Song Jiang, stood up to greet the two.

"Sanlang and Sanniang are back."

Chao Gai rushed to greet Song Jiang before he could, pointed to the empty seats in the front row and said with a smile: "You two have worked hard in the battle, please take a seat in the front row."

"We should."

Yang Chang and Hu Sanniang nodded in response, then sat down in front of the empty seat pointed by Chao Gai, and at the same time clasped their fists and bowed to Han Tao.

Seeing this, Song Jiang smiled and introduced Han Tao, "Han Tuanlian, this is Yang Sanlang, who I met in Qingzhou. His wife is my adopted sister Hu Yinyue. Yinyue is the third child in the family, so the brothers usually call her Sanniang."

"I have no eyes to recognize the great man!"

As a defeated general, how could Han Tao dare to be arrogant in front of Yang Chang? He bowed to him in front of everyone, which made his colleague Peng Qi blush and followed suit and bowed to Hu Sanniang.

As Hu Yanzhuo's deputies, they were captured separately by the couple. I think it was just a coincidence.

Although Peng Qi was hooked by Hu Sanniang's lasso, he still felt dissatisfied with her in his heart.

Han Tao was completely suppressed by Yang Chang's power. He could not hide the respect in his eyes. He even suspected that if Hu Yanzhuo treated Yang Chang the same way, he might end up like him.

Liangshan defeated the linked horses and obtained many military horses, armors, and weapons. Chao Gai and Song Jiang were very happy and immediately held a banquet to celebrate the success and to welcome the new leader.

Today, Xu Ning and Tang Long should have been the protagonists of the first achievement of defeating the enemy with the hook-and-sickle spear, but Yang Chang unexpectedly stole the limelight.

The capture of Han Tao in one round was so much of a topic that at the celebratory banquet in the Juyi Hall, almost everyone at every table mentioned Yang Chang. Chao Gai even brought several of his close associates to toast Yang Chang many times.

Song Jiang, who held real power, focused his attention on the newly surrendered generals. He brought his confidants such as Hua Rong, Qin Ming, Dai Zong and others to introduce them to Xu Ning, Han Tao, Peng Qi and Ling Zhen, with the intention of competing with Chao Gai.

Yang Chang did not want to become a bargaining chip in the fight, so he used the excuse that the newly arrived horses had not yet been properly settled in, and missed the reunion banquets for the next few days.

However, even the absence of Yang Chang did not prevent the top two leaders from fighting secretly.

The grand banquet for brothers in the first few days gradually turned into a small banquet for factions. Chao Gai not only won over the Dengzhou faction, but also showed goodwill to the newly arrived Xu Ning, Han Tao and others. He intentionally or unintentionally said that Tang Long's suggestion was Song Jiang's own idea.

In addition, Chao Gai also reached out to the leaders of Jieyang, namely Li Jun, Zhang Heng, Zhang Shun, Tong Wei and Tong Meng. They were leaders temporarily incorporated into the navy and also Chao Gai's core territory in Liangshan.

Chao Gai used the "missing" Wang Ying to make a fuss, saying that Wang Aihu had molested the family members from Jieyang at that time, and he had intended to punish him severely, but unfortunately he could not resist Song Jiang's strong protection.

The purpose of this alienation plot was very obvious. Chao Gai did not expect these people to be loyal to him, but it was enough to sow the seeds of conflict and make them no longer loyal to Song Jiang.

Although the five men all came from Jieyang, they were not of the same mind. Among them, although Li Jun became sworn brothers with Song Jiang, he had the strongest self-awareness and was not blindly loyal to someone. Instead, it was Zhang Shun, whom he met last, who hit it off with Song Jiang at first sight in Xunyang Tower.

On the night when Chao Gai hosted a banquet for five people from Jieyang, Zhang Shun sneaked into Song Jiang's residence under the pretext of going to the bathroom.

"Brother Zhang Shun, shouldn't you be drinking with Heavenly King Chao?"

"I went out to relieve myself, and just then I remembered something important, so I came to find my brother to report it."

"event?"

Song Jiang had a premonition, and then he heard Zhang Shun say, "It's about Wang Aihu's beginning and end. Among the minions assigned to me this time, someone happened to see him for the last time. He said that Ruan Xiaowu personally rowed the boat to see him off, and he went to the deep water area on the south side of the island at dusk. I suspect he..."

"Don't doubt it, it might really be an accident. Go back and accompany King Chao."

"Huh? Oh"

As soon as Zhang Shun left, Song Jiang's face instantly fell.

Short-lived Erlang? What a catchy nickname!
Ruan Xiaowu and Wang Aihu had no grudges in the past, which means that he was just an executor, and the person behind the scenes was a known fact.

Song Jiang suppressed his anger and knew the importance of the matter.
