Chapter 1307 Song Jiang begging Xiao Tang, Liangshan to Liangshan
Nowadays, the dry roads on three sides of the shipyard are surrounded by fences, and there are people hustle and bustle inside. During this period, there are hundreds of military men, carrying steel knives and sticks and whips in their hands. From time to time, they are yelling and beating civilians.
There are two to three hundred thatched factory houses, many of which were forcibly detained, including countless shipwrights and cooks. As for the former Liangshan bandit leaders who led the troops and guards around them, most of them now have expressions of blankness and a look of nothing on their faces.
own appearance.
As for the supervisor's building in the shipyard, Song Jiang's expression immediately changed when he heard Wu Yong's warning, and he hurriedly asked: "The military advisor said that while I was here to supervise the shipbuilding, Xiao Tang would also send people to make a surprise attack.
This is the shipyard?”
Wu Yongsui said: "If we still occupy Liangshan Park and want to fight against the officers and soldiers who come to conquer, and take advantage of the enemy's shortage of ships, I will use a trick. I will first teach some brothers to do tricks in this shipyard.
Attacked from both inside and outside, he was annoyed at first, but then gradually got back on his terms with the officers and soldiers.
Xiao Tang is good at planning and fighting, and he has many wise men under his command. Now that Gao Qiu is firmly seated in Jeju, he sent us to take the lead. Xiao Tang has heard about it, so how could he not know that this is a great opportunity to defeat them all? So we can first
Use strategies to prepare and strive to win for a while, otherwise..."
Wu Yongzheng said, but he let out a long sigh.
Seeing this, Song Jiang frowned slightly and asked, "Why did the military advisor sigh?"
Wu Yong lowered his head and pondered for a moment, but his face lost a bit of the pretentious indifference in the past: "Brother Gongming thought that if there were no officers and soldiers to help us, and it was just me and other soldiers fighting against Xiao Tang's powerful men, how much would we be able to do?"
What’s the chance of winning?”
Song Jiang's face froze when he saw this. Although he was silent for a moment, he still said decisively: "How could I not know how many mountain groups of bandits and soldiers Xiao Tang commanded? But even if the war is dangerous, there are military strategists, Liu Min brothers and others using tricks.
As well as the leaders under his command, we might not be able to win a few battles. We and all of us, thanks to the merciful mercy of the Holy Spirit and the great grace of the desolation, are forgiven of our sins, contribute to the country, make achievements, and consider ourselves loyal ministers.
The reason is that now, how can we retreat despite the difficulties?
It’s true that Lieutenant Gao was quite prejudiced against our brothers, but how could he keep watching from the sidelines when the bandits on Fujing East Road were in serious trouble? Xiao Tang had a strong army and strong horses, and he had many old acquaintances under his command to help him...
..Now we are at odds with each other. Even if we cannot win all the credit, I will try my best to make achievements, but I hope there will be no oversights or omissions, so that I can at least give an explanation to the court."
Hearing that Song Jiang was still insisting, Wu Yong couldn't hold back the words that had been hiding in his heart, and immediately said: "I often think about it, but my brother is mainly loyal and righteous, and he taught me that I don't dare to say anything. But now my brother is also looking down on me.
The score is clear: Gao Qiu was in the commander's house in the city and decided to recruit troops. According to the so-called old rules, those who did not have silver taels would be sent out to fight. If there were silver taels, they would stay in the center of the army, which was a false reward and an indiscriminate reward.
This treachery is not limited to one end. My brother intended to offer a large sum of money to show his goodwill to Gao Qiu, but he smiled and accepted them one by one. Instead, he taught me and other brothers to take the lead in facing Xiao and Tang's troops. I am afraid that all the hundreds of soldiers he sent were...
Being the eyes and ears, isn’t it just a clear intention to harm our troops?
The emperor of our court today... is indeed not the most holy and wise person, but also has Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Gao Qiu, Yang Jian and other treacherous ministers who are monopolizing power. The Lord listens to his words. Even if the envoy succeeds in the future, there will be no reward.
We raised the stronghold to accept the recruitment and surrender to the imperial court. I respected my brother, so I had to take the vanguard and serve in vain. Now, I am showing Gao Qiu to be so scornful, even though my younger brother will still make suggestions and fully assist my brother... In fact, with my foolish intention, I want to
When you are persecuted by evil spirits and have no choice but to abandon Song Luocao and start a new one, it is also a way to save your life, but it will only betray your brother's loyalty."
After hearing this, Song Jiang's expression changed with dismay. He immediately stood up and said loudly: "The military advisor is bad! If you fall into trouble again, please don't mention this matter. Even if the Song Dynasty fails me, I am loyal to the Song Dynasty. Even if there is no reward for a long time, I will still get it."
A name will be left in the history of history. If you turn your back on what is right and obedient, God will not forgive you! We must serve our country with all our loyalty, even if we die!"
Brother Song Jiang is indeed determined, and it is impossible to persuade him to change his mind no matter what...
Wu Yong sighed in his heart. Originally, Song Jiang and Chao Gai were both from the village under the jurisdiction of Yuncheng County, Jeju. This wise man was an old friend of Chao Gai from Dongxi Village for many years. Although Wu Yong heard Song Jiang's name, it was not until
At that time, Shi Yu hurriedly went to Chao Gai to report that they had not met before, but after Song Jiang also went to Liangshan, Wu Yong gradually fell to Song Jiang's side, and Chao Gai couldn't help but feel discouraged, also because Wu Yong had previously
Not only did Yong know very well what Chao Tianwang's ambitions were, he also recognized Song Jiang's proposition and believed that he could not spend his whole life as a green forest gangster.
But now Wu Yong gradually discovered that by being recruited by the imperial court and entering the officialdom, his life and fortune would gradually fall into the control of powerful traitors. He had to endure humiliation and work hard to make contributions. Even if he still had hope of gaining a foothold in the officialdom, this road would only get worse.
The narrower the path, the more you succumb willingly to the powerful traitors in the government, but in the end, if they still refuse to let you go, do you really have to let them manipulate you?
Wu Yong originally thought that his ideals were consistent with Song Jiang's, but he finally understood that the brother Gongming whom he surrendered to had such a deep obsession with being loyal to the imperial court. However, he had already deserted King Chao Tian, and now Wu Yong knew that
There is no turning back when I draw my bow, so I leave Song Jiang to save myself... I have no place in the world anymore. If I can't fulfill my loyalty, I have to go with Song Jiang to the end, and at least get the favor of the court.
Xu was acquitted of the crime and returned to the same place as Gongming's brother. It was considered a life-and-death match, and he could leave a clear name in the world...
After thinking sadly in his heart, Wu Yong could only say: "Since my brother has loyalty in his heart, let's use this plan to make arrangements to beware of Xiao Tang sending troops and horses to attack at night... It's just that although the snake has no head,
But it doesn’t work. Usually I am free and at ease when I gather in Liangshan. Many brothers are also happy. Since I have been recruited, I have to contribute to the court and serve as a minister of the country. I don’t want to be restrained. Now I have been plotted by the powerful. Many brothers
I already have resentment, how to appease it depends on my brother making a good living."
Song Jiang also understood what Wu Yong meant, but he still believed that the path he insisted on must be taken, and it was also the only choice for the sake of the future of his brothers.
Among the leaders who are now following Song Jiang and surrendering to the imperial court, Jin Dajian is praised as a jade-arm craftsman who is good at phoenix seal script and dragon seal script.
The miraculous doctors did not know where the officials heard about their abilities, so they sent an order to summon Jin Dajian and An Daoquan into the palace to listen to them before driving; and the powerful Prime Minister Cai Jing also sent his subordinates to the camp.
, took away Xiao Rang, a master scholar who could write various calligraphy styles, and asked him to be the master of writing in the mansion... Song Jiang was without three people to help him, and he felt depressed.
But Xiao Rang, Jin Dajian, and An Daoquan were all designed to get into Liangshan, and they were somewhat reluctant. Song Jiang also knew it, but what happens now? What if the three of them were not as good as Liangshan? Despite this period of experience, he can still only be a common man in his hometown, but now he is being appointed by the imperial court or supported by powerful people. Isn't this the way out for his brothers who are under his command by recruiting peace?
However, other people who want to gain a foothold in the officialdom based on their ability and military exploits still need to be at the disposal of the imperial court and continue to serve their lives. Although Song Jiang knew that powerful traitors such as Gao Qiu, Tong Guan, and Yang Jian despised his status as the leader of green forest gangsters, he However, there were not many noble people in the court who were able to promote and reuse him. Even now, Song Jiang still clearly remembers what the important court official named Su Yuanjing said to him when he came to Beijing to meet officials: " ...This thief of Xiaotang was originally an important minister of the country, but he could not bear to live up to the emperor's favor. Although the old man sighed with regret, he also knew that his betrayal of the imperial court was a danger to the country. However, the leader of the Song Dynasty and other good generals, all With the troops and horses under my command, we can reach our territory directly to help the army subdue the national thieves. It will be of great convenience for you heroes to perform meritorious deeds and serve the country. When the success is achieved, I will protect you before the emperor. Don’t worry…”
After thinking about it in his mind, Song Jiang gritted his teeth and said secretly: Xiao Tang, Xiao Tang... When I met you in Yuncheng County, I knew that although I was also recommended by the powerful people in the world, I was still far away. Not as good as you... I once thought about having a good life and being close to you, and I also had a secret desire to compete with you. You also took away the water to swim in Liangshan, which made me hate you. After all, you and I are not dead in the first place. I have a great grudge, but whether you are an official or a thief, you always seem to be blocking my way. Now I still have to make plans to get rid of you in order to fulfill my long-cherished wish...
