Chapter 1621 You are not mine, do what you should do
For Liu Tang, the red-haired ghost who valued the loyalty of Green Forest the most and was closest to Chao Gai, he had already been resentful when he saw Song Jiang faintly overpowering Chao Gai in the Shuibo Liang Mountains, but at that time
The pro-Chao faction was weak, and Liu Tang was unwilling to openly quarrel due to friendship. However, he had parted ways with Song Jiang along with Chao Gai's brother, and Song Jiang was ordered by the court to attack Shuibo Liangshan.
It also completely violated Liu Tang's taboo, so now he was taught to follow the rules of the world and attack Song Jiang immediately, and Liu Tang would not hesitate at all.
However, after Liu Tangfang finished speaking, Hua Rong looked anxious on one side and Li Kui glared on the other side. When they were about to speak, Chao Gai sighed and said: "Since Song Jiang surrendered to Liangshan, he has always advocated being recruited by the imperial court. This
It’s not that he intentionally deceived me. But indeed, he shouldn’t have done it, he shouldn’t have done it... Instead, he was hurt by the evil forces of the imperial court and the brothers who had known each other in the old world and had become righteous.
And to the delight of the haters...it's just what Hua Rongxian brother said, now that the fight against the Jin Dynasty is important, since our brothers can sympathize with Zhang Shuye, who has always been against Liangshan, for his loyal act of serving the country, and
If you can be kind to Zhang Bofen, why can't you be kind to Song Jiang? Of course, everything must be decided by Xiao Renxia with full authority."
Xiao Tang understood that no matter how loyal Chao Gai was, he was a powerful man on the road who had gathered many green forests and grasslands for his use. He was not a good old man with a soft heart. However, in the end, he still treated his brothers with benevolence and righteousness as the most important thing. Song Jiang
Although he turned around to attack Liangshan, Chao Gai also knew that Song Jiang was forced to accept the offer and was forced by the situation. Although he had forced him to leave the stronghold in anger, Chao Gai also knew that Song Jiang had been forcing him to agree in a subtle and gentle way.
However, he did not use the most extreme method to complete the matter. Therefore, at this moment, Chao Gai, who was concerned about his loyalty, was still willing to give Song Jiang a hand.
Xiao Tang was silent for a moment. Among the three people in front of him, he was the only one who he wanted to recruit without hesitation. Of course, in the original work, he was supposed to be the most powerful general of the cavalry army under Wang Qing, one of the four major bandits, but now he is
Du Tiezhen, the chief warrior whom Song Jiang relied on the most, is Du Bo. After all, in terms of martial arts, in the original work, Du Bo and Lu Junyi, who are extremely good horse fighters, fought against each other for more than 50 times without deciding the outcome. And the original text clearly stated that Du Bo would win or lose.
The snake spear disappeared, and Sun An saw that Lu Junyi could not win, so he swung his sword and slapped his horse to help in the battle. Du Bo was killed under the joint attack of Lu Junyi and Sun An, two top military generals, which shows that he was
Teach people astonishingly powerful martial arts.
More importantly, although there is no way to know the character of Du Bo just from the description in the original work of Water Margin, it seems that since he surrendered to Song Jiang, he has always valued loyalty, no matter good times or bad times.
Never give up. If he could have a heart-to-heart relationship with Du Bo, Xiao Tang also believed that this down-to-earth, honest and loyal man would sincerely help him achieve great things.
As for the black whirlwind Li Kui, he is indeed a fierce infantryman who is good at strangling in chaos and is not afraid of death. However, the black whirlwind is not an indispensable figure in charging into battle. And although this black guy can't hide his stupidity,
I am really worried. If he commits any indiscriminate killings again, he will just kill him with one knife without mercy. But Xiao Tang also knows very well. Perhaps this is also a commendable strength of Li Kui, but since he has recognized Song Jiang as his brother
, I will only follow him in this life, and it is almost impossible for others to teach this stubborn donkey to obey and change his nature.
At this time, Song Jiang must come with Du Bo and Li Kui, undoubtedly to tie himself to the two of them.
Xiao Tang believed that Song Jiang sincerely wanted to take care of his brother Song Qing's widow and son in this world where it was difficult to protect himself. He also believed that he was determined to fight against the Jin Yulu and was willing to sacrifice his life.
It's a lie. But it's not yet known whether this guy suddenly has an epiphany after being exploited by the imperial court. Even if he is killed now, it will still inevitably make Hua Rong, Chao Gai and even Du Bo feel chilly, but Xiao Tang is determined not to use this person.
Uncertainty factors remain by your side and become a hidden danger that may cause harm in the future...
After another silence that was almost suffocating, Xiao Tang slowly spoke and said in a deep voice: "The golden bandits are rampant and causing trouble in the Central Plains. The heroes who have risen up to unite all the places to bravely fight against foreign humiliation are not only me, Xiao Tang, but also a group of people."
Brothers? Since you, Song Jiang, are also willing to do your part in the fight against the gold thieves, you also led everyone to the Liangshan River to fight against the gold thieves...I will not settle the past accounts with you again.
Gather some soldiers and horses, and if you are willing to cooperate with our rebel army, I will also send troops and horses to rescue you whenever there is good or bad luck in the war."
Song Jiang, who was lying on the ground, suddenly beamed with joy when he heard this. He quickly raised his head and thanked him and said: "Song was obsessed at the time and wanted to restore his innocent identity. He really violated the morality of the world and committed Xiao Renxia's crime.
Deep and serious, although I did not want to betray the imperial court at the beginning, the lives of all my brothers were still in the hands of the treacherous and powerful sycophants... After sadly returning to seclusion, I was attacked by the golden captives and had nowhere to escape.
But it is inevitable that he will die. Xiao Renxia's merciful kindness is really a blessing for Song Jiang to be reborn! He will remember it deeply and dare not forget it..."
However, Xiao Tang waved his hand and immediately interrupted Song Jiang, and said in a deep voice: "Song Jiang, you don't have to tell me the same words of loyalty that you used when you were recruited by the imperial court. You also need to understand clearly: you don't
Even if they are the leaders of soldiers and horses that we and other brothers gathered to recruit, they will not be recruited by the Marshal's Office. Mr. Zong Zezong, the general manager of the Hebei Rebel Army, also recruited Yang Jin, Wang Shan, Ding Jin, etc.
The green forest soldiers and horses work together to fight against the gold, and I will treat you the same way.
However, if you are willing to listen to our instructions, I will definitely guarantee the safety of your brothers, sisters, nephews. In addition to the warrior Du Bo, I intend to invite you to plan the military affairs and have other arrangements. Regardless of the name or fact, I can treat you as my friend.
Treat friendly troops, but they must be subject to my control. If they don't obey, or if they do something to the court to recruit ministers, then that's all. The Ming people don't tell secret words, and they don't doubt the people they employ.
Be careful, why did I make such an arrangement for you? You must understand it, and you can rely on it?"
Xiao Tang's arrangement not only completely isolated Song Jiang from his own group for command, planning and deployment, but it was also essentially like when Shuibo Liangshan and Qingzhou Mountains cooperated with each other to control the army. Rescue coordination was possible, but any
No one can know the secrets and important matters of the other party (except that for Xiao Tang's side, Gongsun Sheng and Li Zongzheng had already been installed in Liangshan). And now Hua Rong, Chao Gai, Du Bo, and even
The rest of the leaders, such as Zhu Tong, Lei Heng and others who had a close relationship with Song Jiang in the past, were willing to stand up to protect Song Jiang. Most of them were out of pity and sympathy. Now that things have happened, it is difficult for Song Jiang to argue with his scheming.
Any one of them will surrender to him and obey his orders.
What's more, Song Jiang is now in a completely passive situation. Under the watchful eye of the public, if he still has some secret dealings with the court, let alone whether he, the former green forest bandit leader who only has Li Kui at his disposal, can re-enter. With the court's discernment, Xiao Tang only needs to make arrangements to minimize the harm he may cause. If Song Jiang still wants to be "loyal to the emperor and loyal to the court" and makes any mistakes, it will not be of any substantive effect to his own side. However, he wanted to commit suicide. For that reason, Chao Gai, Hua Rong, Du Bo and others would definitely not have any old acquaintances with Song Jiang Gu again.
After Song Jiang listened to Xiao Tang's words, he was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart. However, when Song Jiang looked at Hua Rong, Chao Gai and even Du Bo and others, he also saw that they might be slightly disappointed. Surprised, or maybe they had expected it, but after looking at each other, Hua Rong, Chao Gai and others remained silent. Song Jiang could clearly see that they also acquiesced in the arrangement Xiao Tang had made for him.
After sighing secretly, Song Jiang said respectfully to Xiao Tang: "Xiao Renxia is generous and forgiving to Song Mou, who was originally guilty of the crime, and because of his golden words, he is willing to take care of the orphans and widows left by my brother Song Qing... What Song Jiang is doing now I hope that when I have the strength to fight against the golden captives, I can do my best to repay Xiao Renxia's great kindness. With this arrangement, I will naturally respect my order!" Then Song Jiang bowed again and kowtowed to Xiao Tangna. Back then, when he was about to go to Liangshan to recruit ministers, and when he visited the officials in Bianjing, his appearance seemed to be exactly the same...
