The arguments given by Wu Yong also made Song Jiang unable to object.
"Brother, we must not be impulsive at this time."
"As far as the current battlefield situation is concerned, we do not have an advantage in terms of morale, the number of soldiers and horses, or weapons and equipment."
"At this time, if my brother suddenly orders the entire army to attack, then there is a nine out of ten chances that we will not be able to win this battle."
Song Jiang closed his eyes and sighed heavily.
"Military advisor, what do you think we should do next?"
"We have been fighting this battle until now. Not only have we not gained any advantage, but we have also lost so many of our leaders?"
"If I were to lead my troops to retreat now, let alone Gao Qiu, I wouldn't be able to get through this."
Wu Yong frowned and pondered for a long time.
"Brother, how about we do it this way?"
"After we returned to the army, we immediately found Gao Qiu and asked him to put pressure on the magistrate of Wenshang County to release all our brothers who were imprisoned in Wenshang County Prison."
"If this plan works, then it doesn't seem impossible for us to make a comeback with the help of those leaders."
"Of course, if I want my plan to be implemented successfully, it must be approved by Gao Qiu."
"If that Captain Gao doesn't agree when the time comes, then we will still have nothing to do."
Song Jiang's two thick eyebrows were tightly knitted together.
There are even more thoughts flashing in my mind.
As far as the current situation on the battlefield is concerned, if they are eager to compete with the opponent for a short period of time, once all the soldiers in their hands are wiped out in a full-scale war, then they will lose their last card.
trump card.
At that time, only the dozen leaders led by Song Jiang, whether it is Wu Zhi on Shuibo Liangshan, nor the current official Zhao Ji, nor Gao Qiu and his gang, will take him seriously again.
It's a matter of fact.
In this way, Song Jiang would lose the qualification to talk to those three parties.
At this time, what if you listen to Wu Yong's words and act according to his plan?
After Song Jiang rescued all the leaders trapped in Wenshang County, he would then lead all his soldiers and horses to fight to the death with Shuibo Liangshan.
Then there is no doubt that it will greatly enhance our own probability of victory.
When Song Jiang thought about this, most of the unwillingness and persistence in his mind disappeared.
After hastily making an agreement with Wu Zhi and others to fight again next time, he led all his troops to withdraw from the position one after another.
Regarding this, Wu Zhi did not order all his brothers to attack with the whole army.
Instead, he quietly watched the other party go away before leading all his leading soldiers back to Shuibo Liangshan.
The reason why Wu Zhi did this was not because his kindness came into play at this time, but because he was afraid of Wu Yong.
Although the teacher's knowledge was not very good, his underhanded tactics made people have to guard against him.
What if Wu Yong, when Wu Zhi led his army to pursue Song Jiang and others, sent another cavalry group to retreat and raid their Liangshan stronghold?
If this happens, many of the facilities in their Liangshan Dazhai will be destroyed.
By then, even if Wu Zhi and others killed and wounded thousands of soldiers and horses under Song Jiang's command, it would still be uneconomical for him.
Therefore, when Wu Zhi had many scruples in his heart, he abided by the agreement with Song Jiang in a very ethical manner.
Less than half an hour before Song Jiang was defeated and withdrew, Gao Qiu received the news.
Just when he called together the two princes of Yu, Liu and Zhao, put on their armor, and prepared to go and reprimand Song Jiang.
Bendang first received the news of Song Jiang's visit, which made Gao Qiu feel very puzzled.
I couldn't help but secretly think, logically speaking, the other party lost the battle, so in order to avoid punishment, shouldn't they take the initiative to avoid me?
Why did Song Jiang come to my door on his own initiative?
Could it be...
Could there be some fraud in this?
Just when Gao Qiu was secretly wondering, three rather hasty footsteps came from outside the door.
Almost within a few breaths, Song Jiang led two rather rough-looking men to Gao Qiu.
As soon as they met, Song Jiang bowed deeply to Gao Qiu.
"Song Jiang, the guilty general, failed the commander-in-chief's expectations and came here to apologize to the commander-in-chief."
"I also hope that the commander-in-chief, for the sake of his dedication to serving the country, will allow him to lead his troops to fight again."
"In the end, the general will definitely give up his merits and wipe out all the rebel leaders on Shuibo Liang Mountain to repay the country's favor."
As soon as Song Jiang finished speaking, Gao Qiu sneered several times in succession.
"Since you can defeat once today, you can defeat a second time tomorrow."
"Why should I trust you?"
Song Jiang's expression changed suddenly, and then he remembered what Wu Yong had said to him before he left.
Suddenly his tone became a little urgent.
"Commander Qi, the reason why our general was defeated this time was largely due to the lack of soldiers under his command."
"If the commander can ask the magistrate of Wenshang County to release all the leaders imprisoned in prison to help the general in the battle."
"Then the general will definitely win a complete victory in the next battle."
Gao Qiu smiled coldly, and when he looked at Song Jiang, his eyes were full of disdain.
"Song Xianfeng, those people imprisoned in Wenshang County Prison are all criminals who have violated the national law."
"In this case, how can it be released so easily?"
"Furthermore, if I release those people and go to fight with Song Xianfeng, what if those people take the opportunity to escape while fighting the grass bandit leaders in Shuibo Liangshan?"
"Then who should bear this responsibility?"
Song Jiang was very unhappy when questioned by Gao Qiu.
When he was feeling irritable, he opened his mouth and replied:
"All the brothers under the general's command are all loyal, courageous, and loyal men. They are truly heroes."
"Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to abscond in fear of crime and leave without saying goodbye as the commander-in-chief just said."
"Commander, please rest assured about this."
Gao Qiu gently stroked the beard on his chin, then walked around the handsome tent several times with a half-smiling smile.
And when he came to Song Jiang again, he looked at Song Jiang with a joking face and a serious face.
"Song Xianfeng, this saying is well said, but it is empty talk."
"Although Song Xianfeng now speaks these words loud and clear."
"But if I really hand over those guilty people to Song Xianfeng, and when Song Xianfeng leads those people to fight against the grass bandits in Liangshan, what if those people really run away out of fear of their crimes?"
