"If we brothers are transferred to the imperial court, we can become prime ministers, marshals, generals, etc."
"If we, the brothers, are transferred to some remote place to be small bird officers, we have to separate ourselves."
"Then the imperial court's order to mobilize troops means nothing."
"Brother, don't worry about it."
Song Jiang was a little helpless and looked at the straight brother in front of him.
"Tieniu, since our brothers on Qingfeng Mountain have been recruited by the imperial court, we must obey the imperial court's instructions."
"If we don't obey, what's the point of us heroes accepting the recruitment in the first place?"
Li Kui wanted to say more, but when he saw Song Jiang's gloomy look, he stopped talking.
At this moment, I could only shake my head with helplessness.
When Song Jiang brought Li Kui to Zhongyi Hall.
As expected, all the brothers on the mountain have already gathered here.
Song Jiang just exchanged a few words with his brothers and then conveyed the order to mobilize troops that he had just received.
Of course, Song Jiang did not say the many words mentioned in the letter that insulted the reputation of the heroes in Qingfeng Mountain.
Although the leaders on Qingfeng Mountain already knew early in the morning that they would gather their troops to attack Shuibo Liang Mountain in a short time.
But what they never expected was that the order to mobilize troops came in such a hurry.
Although before this, their Qingfeng Village had fought against Shuibo Liangshan.
Therefore, we also have a preliminary understanding of the combat effectiveness of Shuibo Liangshan.
But the experience of that defeat is still fresh in the memory of many leaders in Qingfeng Mountain Stronghold.
Although this time, they learned from their elder brother that there would be two other troops from the imperial court to provide assistance and support.
And finally formed the intention to jointly attack Shuibo Liangshan.
But those leaders still had many worries in their hearts.
Because of Gao Qiu, Song Jiang and others were given a three-day arrival deadline.
So at this moment, Song Jiang did not dare to delay too much.
After hurriedly passing on the news of the army's departure, he left alone.
Since Song Jiang's daily life is relatively simple, it is quite easy to organize it at this time.
About two-quarters of an hour later, he had packed his luggage.
But when he was just about to go out to see how the other brothers were preparing, Wu Yong, the military advisor in the village, found him worried.
"Brother, isn't the three days of marching time given by Gao Qiu too short?"
"After all, this place is not close to the Shuibo Liangshan Mountain."
"On weekdays, even those scouts who send messages back and forth, ride two horses in turns, and have to keep running for nearly three days without resting."
"What's more, what about our more than ten thousand brothers in Qingfeng Village?"
"So brother, see if you can write a letter to Gao Qiu and others to extend the deadline."
"Even if it takes a day off, it will be good for us."
Song Jiang slowly came to the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the autumn wind outside the window, slowly blowing the nearby trees, swaying the leaves on the trees, and making a rustling sound.
When Youyou sighed, he reached into his arms and handed the letter he had received earlier into Wu Yong's hands.
And when Wu Yong slowly unfolded the stacked letter and read the full text.
The expression on his face is even more wonderful.
After a long silence, he said something with a complicated expression.
"Brother, I'm afraid this three-day period is an excuse for Gao Qiu to deliberately mess with us."
Song Jiang smiled bitterly.
"Even so, what can we do?"
"Is it possible that we, now, can still refuse to accept orders?"
Wu Yong frowned and paced around the room.
After a while, he came up with a relatively good solution.
At the same time, Wu Yong's face became a little more energetic.
"Brother, as far as I know, there are almost no officials in the court who don't like those yellow and white things."
"So my strategy is, let's follow the instructions in that letter first."
"And on the road, we must seize the time as much as possible and move forward."
"If we arrive at our destination one or two days later than the time specified in the letter, there will be nothing we can do about it."
"At that time, if that Gao Qiu is blamed, my brother can give him a large amount of yellow and white things as a bargaining chip to make him open up to us."
"This method at this stage is also the best solution we can adopt at Qingfeng Village."
"If we don't do this, I'm afraid Gao Qiu will definitely punish us Qingfengshan brothers severely this time."
Regardless of the development and growth of Qingfeng Village, or gathering the loyalty of the brothers below, those yellow and white things are indispensable.
This point had already been figured out when Song Jiang was still the leader of the second village.
At the moment, although Song Jiang doesn't want to give a large amount of property to Gao Qiu.
But the problems he faced had to be solved with those yellow and white things.
If Song Jiang did not do this, let alone the brothers in Qingfeng Village who would be high-ranking officials in the future, they might not be able to survive the current calamity.
Thinking of this, Song Jiang was no longer entangled in his heart.
"That's all, let's do this according to the wishes of the military advisor."
Although in the next three days, Song Jiang was always urging the brothers below to move quickly.
But even so, it still took the Qingfeng Mountain army four and a half days to reach the place specified in Gao Qiu's letter.
But Song Jiang had just finished reorganizing his army, and the soldiers Gao Qiu was responsible for delivering the message had already arrived in front of Song Jiang.
"Song Xianfeng, right? My marshal invites you."
Song Jiang smiled and saluted the messenger soldier:
"I'll go get ready now, brother. Please wait here for a while."
Song Jiang said, then turned around and returned to the camp.
And when he changed his armor and was about to leave the camp, Wu Yong found him again.
And when Wu Yong asked Song Jiang what the reason for this trip was, his two rather slender brows immediately knitted together.
At the same time, his face was also full of worries.
"My brother's behavior is very magnanimous, so he often doesn't think too much when dealing with problems."
"But one thing I need to pay attention to, brother, is that you must not have the intention of harming others, and you must have the intention of guarding against others."
