"Please Song Xianfeng understand the meaning of my words. I don't want you to guarantee anything to me, but I want to know if this thing really happens, how should I deal with you, and what will happen to you?"
Where are the leaders under my command?"
"Otherwise, once the Imperial Grand Master or officials ask me about this matter, I will not be able to explain it to them."
After Gao Qiu finished saying these words, he sat down next to Shuai Ben with a leisurely expression.
Immediately afterwards, he picked up a bowl of tea from the coffee table next to him and tasted it slowly and carefully.
In fact, Gao Qiu already had sufficient plans for whether Song Jiang and others could win the battle, and how to handle the situation after victory or defeat.
That's why he seemed extremely relaxed and content when facing these problems.
As for the loss of soldiers and horses under Song Jiang and the capture of their leaders, it didn't matter to him, Gao Qiu.
Because in his opinion, it was not his soldiers who were killed or injured anyway.
Even if Song Jiang and his gang are all dead by then, so what?
On the contrary, it also eliminated a potential hidden danger for the Song Dynasty court.
Who knows when the time comes, officials will still praise themselves for this.
Compared with Gao Qiu's carelessness at this time, the look on Song Jiang's face at this moment was not very good-looking.
Although he was very unhappy with Gao Qiu's way of doing things, what could he do?
Because to him, no matter how badass Gao Qiu is, he is still his superior officer.
No matter how helpless he felt, there was still nothing he could do.
But at this time, Song Jiang also figured out that instead of aimlessly guessing what Gao Qiu was thinking, it would be better to guide him directly and let him say it himself.
At least in this way, Song Jiang can greatly reduce the time of contact with him and make him feel less angry and unhappy.
"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, since the general is now under the command of the commander-in-chief, he will definitely obey the commander-in-chief's orders as much as possible."
"When the time comes, once the situation as envisioned by the commander-in-chief occurs, the commander-in-chief can handle it impartially and in accordance with the laws of the imperial court."
"The general will not dare to have too many objections to this."
As soon as Song Jiang finished speaking, Gao Qiu placed the tea bowl in his hand on the coffee table.
Immediately afterwards, those slightly cloudy eyes were locked on Song Jiang again.
"Since Song Xianfeng has said so, there is no need for me to be polite to you anymore."
"It is not impossible to ask this commander to release the criminals under your command from the prisons in Wenshang County."
"But Song Xianfeng, you must first establish a military order with me."
"As for the content of the military order, you can write it according to what I said below."
"After Gao Qiu, the bandit-suppressing marshal, releases many criminals under the command of pioneer officer Song Jiang from the Wenshang County prison."
"Pioneering officer Song Jiang must do his best to restrain those criminals who committed crimes, and remember not to let them abscond in fear of crime."
"And after this battle, Pioneer Officer Song Jiang will also take the initiative to imprison all the criminals who committed crimes in Wenshang County Prison."
"During this period, if any of the criminals who committed crimes abscond in fear of crime, Pioneer Officer Song Jiang will be punished for harboring the crime."
"The punishment methods include but are not limited to beheading, being tortured, and lighting sky lanterns."
"Song Xianfeng, although the punishments I mentioned may sound a bit too severe."
"But this also happens to illustrate from the side, my commander's deep hatred for those villains who dare to harm good people."
"So, I hope Song Xianfeng can understand it."
"At the same time, Song Xianfeng also said just now that the leaders under you are all a group of good men who are loyal and courageous."
"In this case, those so-called good men will definitely not attempt to escape after being released from prison, right?"
"In this case, the punishments I mentioned later will have no meaning to you, Song Xianfeng?"
"So Song Xianfeng, for you, the so-called military order is nothing more than a formality. I hope you don't mind it."
"At the same time, I hope you won't be timid because of this, and be so afraid that you won't dare to do the next thing."
Gao Qiu's words immediately made Song Jiang stunned and speechless.
Because he never expected that Gao Qiu's fellow was going around and around him.
At this time, Song Jiang was really confused in his heart.
If he does not take this opportunity to rescue the leaders from the prison in Wenshang County, then he will not be able to use the power of those leaders to conquer Shuibo Liangshan.
If Song Jiang took this opportunity to rescue the leaders in the prison, it would undoubtedly be equivalent to him stretching his neck in front of Gao Qiu and letting Gao Qiu put a piece of numbness around his neck.
The rope was tied with a big knot.
In the next battle with Shuibo Liangshan, if one of the leaders under Song Jiang disappeared, or if one of them fled in fear of crime, Gao Qiu would grab the rope around Song Jiang's neck and pull him away.
He strangled him without mercy.
Although on weekdays, the leaders under Song Jiang's command all respected his brother and were extremely polite.
But as the saying goes, people are separated from each other and do not know what to do.
Song Jiang couldn't understand this truth.
At that time, if something unexpected happens, or Gao Qiu does not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy one or two of Song Jiang's leaders over, and then wants to use this to honor the military order.
Then Song Jiang's head will immediately become Gao Qiu's possession.
Since this Song Jiang will become the eldest brother of dozens of leaders, his delicate thoughts are definitely not comparable to those of ordinary men.
Even if he is not as good as the scheming Wu Yong, he is still much stronger than most people on Qingfeng Mountain.
Therefore, when he thought of this, he was naturally very confused.
But at this time, Song Jiang understood better that he had been driven to a dead end by the many events that happened in front of him.
If he doesn't fight to the death, what awaits him will definitely not be a good end.
Thinking of this, Song Jiang nodded slowly.
"Everything the commander said is sincere. As a subordinate, the general will definitely not reject it."
"But at the end of the day, I also have a small suggestion. I hope the commander-in-chief can adopt it."
Gao Qiu first smiled jokingly, and then glanced at Song Jiang from the corner of his eye.
"Song Xianfeng, you really know how to choose the right time to put forward conditions."
"Okay, you first tell me what the conditions are, and then I will decide whether to agree."
