Chapter 838 Song Jiang: What a blessing it is to be able to join the strongest Western Army in the Song Dynasty!
"General Yang still doesn't want to see me?"
Song Jiang watched Mu Hong and Deng Fei come in. He knew from their expressions that things were still not going well. He frowned and sighed: "I, Song Jiang, am an unknown person after all. I have no ambition to serve the country.
There’s nowhere to show it!”
Li Kui was furious after hearing this: "Brother, don't be sad. Yang Zhi is just a defeated general. He still managed to defend the city thanks to his great rebellion. Now he is becoming more powerful. Let Tieniu chop him with a few axes and let him know."
I’ve been waiting so hard!”
Song Jiang's face changed, his eyes blurred, and he saw a whirlwind was about to blow out. Thinking of Sun Yuan's fate, he quickly shouted: "Tianniu is back! If you dare to collide with General Yang, I will... I will hit you to death."
it's here!"
After hearing Song Jiang's stern words, Li Kui stopped angrily, and both axes seemed to wither: "Brother, don't be upset, Tieniu just obeys orders!"
Song Jiang gasped for a few breaths, his face turned livid, and then he heard Mu Hong's cautious voice: "Brother Gongming, the prefect Jia Zheng ran away a long time ago. Now Yang Zhi is really in charge of Yingtian Mansion. He
If they don’t wait for us, we have no hope of continuing like this, so we’d better make other plans!”
Song Jiang knew that he had lost his composure, and quickly calmed down, shaking his head and saying: "Zhang Xian's army fled in all directions and caused trouble in Shandong. We can't just sit back and ignore it, we still have to find a way to serve the country here!"
Bao Xu interjected from the side: "This little turmoil will definitely subside soon after Liangshan comes back..."
Mu Hong and Deng Fei rolled their eyes and ignored this idiot.
Liangshan Ding Run led his troops back, and the turmoil naturally subsided. Don't they know this truth?
Isn't it just to get ahead of this, show everyone's majesty, and let the government know that besides Liangshan, there is anyone else they can rely on?
Song Jiang did not show his displeasure with Bao Xu's slowness. Instead, he explained: "You can't rely on just one party for everything, especially Liangshan, who is very selfish and cannot be relied on!"
Bao Xu clasped his fists and closed his mouth in conviction.
Song Jiang asked again: "My sister, brother-in-law and brother Wang Ying, haven't they come back yet?"
Mu Hong looked a little weird: "I'm afraid I'm still busy with that matter..."
Sun Erniang, Zhang Qing and his wife, and Wang Ying were "selling" Sun Yuan's head.
Originally, Sun Erniang took the overall situation into consideration and felt that she would be a stinker after death, and her father would not care about it, so she cut off Sun Yuan's head and went to the government to receive the reward, which proved that there was a group of righteous men who were helping to eliminate great harm to Yingtian Mansion.
As a result, the outside "Zuoming" single-handedly entered the army, not only captured the thief Zhang Xian alive, but also slaughtered hundreds of thief soldiers, killing the army until it collapsed.
Compared to the huge waves outside the city, what they did here was just a small splash, which disappeared after a splash, and no one paid any attention to it.
But the head cannot be cut off in vain, especially if it belongs to their father. Sun Erniang and Zhang Qing must prove that Sun Yuan is a key confidant under Zhang Xian and give him this credit.
Song Jiang sighed deeply: "I am incompetent, I can't resist their righteousness to kill relatives!"
Li Kui didn't quite understand how he had killed Sun Yuan and how they had become the righteous extermination of relatives, but he couldn't hold it in any longer: "Brother, it's okay for us to just wait here. Since Zhang Xian is gone, why not go there?"
How about finding other rebels? Tieniu will definitely charge forward and let my brother make great contributions!"
Song Jiang frowned: "What are you talking about, you bastard? The traitors have brought harm to the people and poisoned the prefectures and counties, so they must be annihilated. How can I, Song Jiang, be a person who is just greedy for merit?"
Li Kui grinned and said: "Killing the thief, my brother performing meritorious service, it's all the same! It's all the same!"
Mu Chun smiled and said: "Brother, there is no need to talk to this scoundrel. I think he just wants to kill someone because his hands are itchy!"
Li Kui's ax suddenly became sharp and he swung it vigorously. He laughed loudly and said: "Not bad! Not bad! That's exactly what it is!"
Everyone laughed and cursed for a while, and with the dark pistachio, a happy atmosphere suddenly filled the hall.
"Brother Gongming! We are back!"
Just at this moment, footsteps were heard, and Sun Erniang, Zhang Qing, and Wang Ying walked in happily.
Song Jiang immediately greeted him. He didn't ask for credit. His first words were concerned: "You've worked hard these past few days. Sit down and take a rest!"
Sun Erniang looked touched: "No, no, what does our hard work mean? My brother is the one who has to worry about big things!"
Zhang Qing also said: "Thanks to my brother Hongfu, our hard work has not been in vain..."
Song Jiang suppressed his excitement and asked: "Which official in Yingtian Mansion understands our desire to serve the country?"
Wang Ying chuckled and said: "It's not Yingtian Mansion. We really don't like this place now. Don't you know, brother, the Western Army is coming! It is led by General Zhe and General Zhong personally!"
Song Jiang was suddenly moved and his voice trembled: "The Western Army? It's actually the Western Army? Have they finally come back to wipe out the rebels everywhere?"
It was the most elite army of the Song Dynasty. If the imperial military attachés wanted to rise to high positions, they had to go to the northwest border for training. The Western Army would lead them to fight against Xixia. Only after they had gained military exploits could they rise to prominence upon their return.
For Song Jiang, a small official who was not able to take the imperial examination and become an official, if he could join the Western Army, it would be much better than being appreciated by the generals in Yingtian Mansion. Once he was in such an elite army, he would be afraid
No chance to make a difference?
This surprise was so sudden that Song Jiang even had some doubts: "But Zhang Xian's army has been defeated. Even if the Western Army returns, they should go elsewhere to eliminate the bandits. Why did they come to Yingtian Mansion? Could it be that... they are planning to cross the river south?"
Wang Ying said: "Brother, don't worry, they have set up camp outside the city and will not continue to go south. The Western Army escorted Tian Hu here and should escort the rebel into Jinling!"
Song Jiang first breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good. After all, the land south of the Yangtze River is not suitable for me and other northerners..."
Hearing that Tian Hu was being escorted to Beijing again, he straightened his shoulders, adding a bit of majesty, and said loudly: "Brothers, is it as I said before, now that the Liao people have retreated, the Western thieves are no longer able to succeed. When we can conquer
The return of the war-savvy Western Army will be like plowing a court and sweeping a hole, and the wars everywhere will subside?"
"This Tian Hu still dares to call himself the king of the establishment and proclaim himself the king of Jin. He is treasonous! When the Western Army arrived, it turned out to be a country chicken and a dog. We should seize the opportunity and contribute to the country. Only then can we have a future and honor our ancestors!
"
Everyone nodded and loudly said: "Brother is right!"
Of course, he would join the army and be treated as a low-level pawn. Song Jiang was concerned about Sun Yuan's head again: "Will the Western Army recognize our contribution?"
After all this running around, Sun Erniang was obviously relieved: "The Western Army is now recruiting righteous people from all over the country to join the army, and even records the heads of rebels as military merits. They investigate very strictly to guard against killing good people and taking credit for their merits, but my father was originally
There is no need to be misunderstood if you are a real thief, you can’t escape this credit!”
Song Jiang was overjoyed and couldn't wait: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go quickly!"
Everyone laughed, immediately left the house, got on their horses, and headed out of the city.
But when he was about to leave the city, Song Jiang took a fancy to a young man with a majestic figure and a dignified appearance. He was talking to a three-inch man in a caravan.
That person was Wu Song. Looking at Wu Dalang at this time, his eyes turned red in a rare way: "Brother! Do you really want to separate from me?"
Wu Dalang said: "Brothers are people who do great things. Just go to Yanyun. I'm just a burden around you. It's fine if you have a chapter to take care of me!"
Zhang Yu hurriedly said: "How to take me in? If it weren't for little brother Wu Song, I would have lost my life at that time. Such a great kindness, Wu Song's brother is my Zhang's brother, I will take care of you with all my heart and never slack off!"
Wu Dalang said honestly and honestly: "Brother, listen, if you meet such a kind person, what do you need to worry about? Go! Go!"
Wu Song had no choice but to bow down and kowtow to Wu Dalang: "Brother, you must take care of yourself and never wrong yourself again. I have found Senior Zuoming, and I will come back to pick you up as soon as I have the confidence!"
After finally saying goodbye to Wu Dalang reluctantly, and just as he was feeling sad, Wu Song felt something moving behind him. He suddenly turned around and saw a dark man standing behind him, smiling and saying: "This little brother..."
Wu Song initially thought it was the guy who recognized his adopted sister to avoid his father's hatred. He snorted angrily, ignored him, got on his horse and galloped out.
Song Jiang felt a little resentful and said to his left and right: "It's a pity that such a good man didn't join the army with us!"
Seeing Song Jiang waiting like that, Li Kui became impatient. When he saw Wu Song again, he became furious and shouted: "My brother treats me with courtesy, but he is so arrogant. How can he be so arrogant? Next time we meet, we must meet each other."
Use a few axes to let this kid know what's going on!"
Song Jiang said with a headache: "You black guy, why do you have to kill people all day long? When you join the Western Army, you must abide by military discipline. You must never do this again!"
With this kind of warning all the way, everyone headed out of the city and found that there were indeed groups of well-organized soldiers patrolling back and forth in the original Xiang Army garrison.
Wang Ying and Zhang Qing stepped forward to report, and Sun Erniang handed over the stinky head and successfully entered the military camp.
When we came here, the atmosphere suddenly changed, and even Li Kui stopped yelling.
The soldiers of the Song Dynasty were originally meant to "recruit all the rough and treacherous men in the world who were derelict in their duties." They all recruited ruffians, petty thieves, idle bullies, and even bandits into the army. This was not the case with the Western Army.
Exceptions.
Because Song Jiang and his party were walking on the street with such outstanding temperament, when they arrived here, they immediately blended in and felt quite at home.
Compared with the slowness of the government offices, the processing speed in the army was also very fast. I heard that they were martyrs who came to join the army and had the merit of destroying enemy troops. The journey was smooth and the procedures were completed quickly.
When the enlistment documents came into his hands, Song Jiang couldn't help but look at them again and again. A bright smile broke out on his dark face, which was the taste of happiness: "You are really lucky to join our strongest Western Army in the Song Dynasty!"
