Chapter 1108 Reckless general, Suo Chao's reason for joining the team
Let's say that a team of school swordsmen in the stronghold escorted Suo Chao and other three captured military men to the commander's tent in the military stronghold. The disgraced Zhou Jin and Wang Ding were in a panic. First they saw that they were also bound to the strong
Suo Chao from Kou Zhong's camp was untied by several soldiers in front of the commander's tent, and they asked him to enter the tent to meet Quan Yu, the leader of the several mountains.
"Benefactor..."
Zhou Jin looked at Suo Chao, who was about to walk in the strongman's tent, and looked very embarrassed. Suo Chao stared at him, and after seeing the expression on Zhou Jin's face, he snorted coldly and said, "Don't worry.
What a coward! Even if we were captured by these gangsters, how could we show such a face and teach those guys a joke? Even decapitation would only leave a scar as big as a bowl, so what are you afraid of?"
Wang Ding made some calculations in his mind, thinking of the reputation of the people in the green forests of the two mountains of Qingzhou, and thought that even if he was captured alive by them this time, he might not be killed by the strong bandits. But Suo Chao was.
With such a reckless and stubborn temperament, Wang Ding was afraid that he would offend the bandit leaders and implicate himself instead, so he whispered to Suo Chao: "Sotiha... now I am waiting for my life to be over."
In order to remain useful in the hands of the two mountain bandits, you must speak kindly and avoid offending the big leaders in their stronghold..."
When Suo Chao heard this, he cursed again and shouted: "Coward! Coward!". It was not known whether he was scolding Wang Ding for being cowardly and sparing his life after falling into the enemy's hands, or whether he was saying that he was upset because he lost the battle to the opponent. However, when
Suo Chao walked straight into the commander's tent of the two mountain strong bandits. Before long, Suo Chao's exclamation came from the commander's tent: "Hey!?!?!?"
Zhou Jin and Wang Ding were both startled. They looked at each other and wondered why Suo Chao, who was captured by the bandits but still had a tough attitude, was so frightened.
Time was still passing slowly. After Suo Chao exclaimed, the interior of the handsome tent seemed to have returned to calm. Only occasionally, Suo Chao's rough voice could be heard faintly, and Wang Ding couldn't hear clearly what was going on outside the tent.
It’s true that I’m getting more and more anxious while waiting.
However, about half an hour later, Zhou Jin and Wang Ding saw Suo Chao striding out of the handsome tent. There was no hesitation on his face. He took a deep breath and immediately faced Zhou Jin and Suo Chao.
He shouted loudly: "If I, Suo Chao, had not betrayed the country, in the past, if Xiao Renxia had not been promoted, I would have suffered many years of humiliation in the army! And those who were captured would have died easily, I
I deeply remember the great loyalty of all the leaders, and ask myself, it is no longer allowed for me, Suo Chao, to refuse to obey him! Now, I, Suo Chao, am willing to go to the two mountains of Qingzhou to join the great righteousness with the heroes. I am willing to follow the whip and stirrup, no matter life or death! You two
Are you willing to go to Dazhai with me and join the gang?"
"What!?" Zhou Jin and Wang Ding were shocked when they heard Suo Chao's words. How could they know that the previously angry and stubborn Suo Chao's attitude could change so quickly and that he was willing to give up his official career?
Instead, he went to join the soldiers and horses in the green forests of Qingzhou and became a bandit leader!?
In fact, Xiao Tang had already thought about it before he planned to recruit Suochao into his group. According to the trajectory in the original work, among the faction of surrendered generals in Boshang, Liangshan, Song Jiang, such as Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo and others, had successively stated to them:
"When the imperial court saw its use, and accepted the recruitment, then they would serve the country with all their loyalty." It also made them understand that they could avoid Gao Qiu, Cai Jing and other powerful traitors and reduce their responsibilities by derogating their crimes, and one day they would return to the imperial court and make other meritorious deeds.
But what did Song Jiang do after Suo Chao was captured by the Liangshan Army? He just comforted Suo Chao with kind words and said, "Look, most of my brothers are officers of the imperial court. They are because the imperial court is unclear and condones abuse of power.
"The corrupt officials are monopolizing power and cruelly harming the good people, so they are willing to help Song Jiang and do justice for heaven. If the general does not give up, he will always put loyalty first"... He also did not explain to Suo Chao his intention to be recruited eventually, and then
Yang Zhi, a former colleague, also bowed forward and gave some careful advice. Apart from the far-fetched reasons such as "Suo Chao is the number of the Tiangang Star, it's natural to make do", Suo Chao was still willing to join in the righteousness.
Liangshan Bozhong continued to be the vanguard who had to fight for the lead in every battle and even worked harder.
Song Jiang must have known about Suo Chao's personality through Yang Zhi's dictation, so when he saw Suo Chao being captured alive by his own troops, Song Jiang was overjoyed, and then he said a few words, and Yang Zhi was there to persuade him.
, and persuaded Suo Chao to join Liangshan.
Although his fate has changed a bit, Yang Zhi was not sent to Daming Mansion by the army. Instead, as in the original work, he became acquainted with Suo Chao at the Dongguo Campus of Daming Mansion. However, based on the relationship between Xiao Tang and Suo Chao,
The friendship between them was not only similar in temperament, but also deeper in love. Suo Chao has always been grateful to Xiao Tang for promoting him.
At that time, Xiao Tang was transferred from the Xiang Army where he was serving in the army to serve as a forbidden army, and he was appointed to the military rank of Baoyi Lang. When he first met the impetuous and reckless Suo Chao, he was just a military officer in the middle of the army. According to the trajectory in the original work, he later did this.
Suo Chao, who has a mustard-sized military position such as the official army, does not know how to cater to his superiors and is not liked by his superiors. However, his life in the army took a turn for the better and now he has managed to become the commander of the army in the left-behind department. All of this is naturally due to the original
Met Xiao Tang.
However, when Xiao Tang was transferred to Bianliang, Tokyo, Suo Chao, who was more like a pure soldier than Li Cheng, who was more popular with Liang Shijie, the left-behind prime minister, Wen Da and the two military governors, were in the Daming Palace Forbidden Army.
In addition to taking advantage of the war, Li Cheng and others also have to be wary of Suo Chao, a general who has made great achievements in the conquest of Zhangdi, Hebei, climbing on top of them. No matter how reckless Suo Chao is, he is not ignorant of the world.
He was a fool, and he was somewhat aware of the suppression and criticism of him in the left-behind department. In the past few years, Xiao Tang had been visiting Daming Mansion for official and private matters. Not only did Suo Chao treat him with the same sincerity as before, Xiao Tang could also learn from it.
From Suo Chao's words, he learned that his life in the left-behind department of Daming Prefecture was no longer a happy one.
Now Xiao Tang showed his true face to Suo Chao, and told him his long-cherished wishes and plans clearly. Compared with the original work where he was a vanguard who was willing to surrender to the Song River and join the Liangshan Po, Suo Chao is now willing to work together for righteousness.
Of course, his attitude is more straightforward and sincere.
It’s just that Zhou Jin, who still doesn’t know the inside story, looked at Suo Chao blankly and said in surprise: “My dear officer, are you really willing to give up your official career and go to the Qingzhou Mountains to join the gang and become the leader of the banditry? Not yet!
Zhicheng is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but why is this?"
Suo Chao first stepped forward and untied Zhou Jin, and then said: "Brother, the two of us have been helping and supporting each other in the left-behind department for many years. Naturally, you are very clear about my personality, Suo Chao. At the moment, I can only say that I am willing to cooperate with you.
There is no trace of reluctance in my heart about that group of heroes gathering together for righteousness! And the reason why I am willing to go to the two mountains of Qingzhou, if you are still willing to follow me, you will know clearly, what do you think?"
Zhou Jin was still very surprised, but thinking about Suo Chao's kindness to him as both a teacher and a friend over the years, after listening to Suo Chao's words, he pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Why on earth was my benefactor willing to surrender?"
Although I don't know exactly what happened when the two mountains of Qingzhou joined the army, but over the years, if I didn't have a benefactor to take care of me, and if I didn't make my roots weak, I don't know how much I would have suffered in the army.
Always keep it in mind.
Now our skills are indeed inferior to others. We suffered such a disastrous defeat and lost many troops and horses. Even if we can escape and return, Zhemo will have to be punished by Li Dujian and others waiting for an opportunity. Since the benefactor wants to surrender to the two mountains of Qingzhou, he can only
How can we be happy if our last general is still in the army of Daming Prefecture, living side by side? Since the general has a good reputation, has met all the heroes in the world, and is now willing to free us, and since the benefactor has respected him, he is willing to defect to the two mountains.
Join the camp... If you are willing to go, you will naturally be willing to go with your benefactor!"
