Chapter 425: The Moonlight Mandala (2)
In June, the collapse of the whole of Liangshan, at first like an undercurrent stream hidden under the water, then rapidly expanded and expanded, and the whole process did not last long, and even before many people could fully understand the truth of the situation, the cruel reality was already pushed before everyone's eyes.
From the afternoon of June 11, Wu Yong and others learned about what was happening on the other side, and the rumors had actually quietly spread on Liangshan, secretly eroding the dark side of people's hearts. In the early morning of June 12, more than a dozen people who sneaked up to Liangshan at night were intercepted, and it is impossible to estimate how many people have not been intercepted, or who have already infiltrated the cottage through various connections.
The beginning and end of the battle of Dulonggang, the reason for the other party's killing, the terrible means and the resoluteness of the will, in the next few days, spread irrepressibly on Liangshan. In the battle of Dulonggang, more than 500 people who were released chose to wait and see at most, but this time, more than half of the people who really chose to stand in line because of fear in their hearts have probably reached more than half.
Those who went to Jiangjunling and Wanjialing took the initiative to choose to be honest or self-exposed, and there were only a few of these people. In these years, people who can mix in the green forest, or come out for hundreds of miles to seek a thing, among most ordinary people, belong to the category of lively minds, this time it doesn't matter if they don't descend, only to ensure that their identities are hidden, is the perfect strategy to attack and retreat. The other party broke the siege of Dulonggang in three days, if he really hit Liangshan, could he really run to the end or not?
These people who choose to wait and see are actually breeding grounds for betrayal. And as a powerless individual. They can only sneak back to Liangshan first, even if they don't do anything bad, they can arrange their families in advance. And once they were intercepted and realized that they might be stabbed above, these people could only desperately shout injustice, and at the same time exaggerate the experience of the Dulonggang Battle, the horror of the other party, and the helplessness of their own plans.
"We didn't betray Liangshan, we just wanted to come back early, and we played over there. We don't want to be suspicious. I have to come back secretly, otherwise what else can I do......"
These people all have relatives and friends on Liangshan, and when the whole situation is said, friends and brothers certainly can't let them go. But in a sense. But I can only understand what they are doing. And the next day. It is said that there are more brothers who came back secretly, but the number of intercepted people is less. It is said that some of the mid-level leaders among them are sympathetic. For the sake of secretly letting go.
Among the more than 1,000 people who were released, those who had carefully considered and chosen their positions in advance, after returning to Liangshan, saw this situation, and understood even more that only when the situation became more chaotic could they have a way to live, and the frequency of secretly and privately telling things and rumors to the people around them was gradually increasing.
For the first two or three days, there was more to it than that. In the Wanjialing area, the Liangshan soldiers who were initially gathered because they were left behind were mixed with the prisoners who were released, and after realizing the fact that they were isolated, people's hearts began to waver. Many of them are still loyal to Liangshan and take the initiative to come over to explain the situation, but their families are also on Liangshan, if they are isolated and suspicious, what is the matter. And more are the soldiers who really fell behind on the road and came back, these soldiers only felt innocent and began to cry out for grievances, which was mixed with a lot of fishing in troubled waters......
When a person makes a fuss, someone who treats them as brothers will start talking. The slight self-consciousness formed by fear on Liangshan had completely collapsed at this time, and the whole process was only two or three days, and some people whispered that how many people had privately surrendered to the government, and whether the neighbors would cut knives at their side when the officers and soldiers came over. Although there are still more ignorant people who think "what's going on" and "things aren't so scary", the words of smart people can already dominate the direction of the whole situation.
And when the time passed on June 11, in the high-level of Liangshan, the thoughts of Song Jiang, Wu Yong and others gradually began to become blurred. Everyone knew that the decision-making level above Liangshan must have experienced tremendous pressure and suffering, which could be seen from the mental state of Song Jiang, Wu Yong and others in the next few days. The terrible thing about Yang Mou is that once it really forms a climate, the situation is like a snowball rolling down from the snow ridge, and no matter how human can stop it, if you really want to crack it, you must need the same extreme and drastic methods, but almost no one can find it at the moment.
Judging from the appearance, after the initial hesitation, Song Jiang and the others did a few things that they had to do as a last resort. They began to recall all the troops of Wanjialing after June 13, and the defense line of Liangshan was contracted in the most conservative manner, and Song Jiang made several demoralizing speeches, which did not mean much, but after the speeches, he let go of all the brothers who had sneaked back to the mountains and the soldiers who had been isolated in Wanjialing, because there was no way to deal with it at the moment, and he could only not deal with it.
At the same time, Liang Shan was also performing rituals for his companions who died in battle, and such rituals could originally arouse the hostility of his companions, but at this time, it was a mixed bag. The hostility of some people can indeed be stirred up, and on the other hand, it further confirms the fiasco of Dulonggang.
They strengthened the defense and military discipline of Liangshan from the order, but in fact, it was already too late by this time, and some sensitive quarrels and frictions appeared on Liangshan from the thirteenth and fourteenth onwards, and began to seem to breed a storm.
In the brewing of such a chaotic situation, Ning Yi, who was outside Liangshan Shuibo, did not stop what he wanted to do for several days. On the one hand, he asked Dulonggang to send people to the surrounding villages, cottages, and horse gangs to publicize the defeat of Liangshan, tell Zheng Biao's previous methods, and create a hostile heart that the wall fell down and everyone pushed him, on the other hand, he was also visiting the prefects of several nearby prefectures and cities everywhere, sending money and credit, and at the same time exaggerating Qin Zheng's seriousness in this matter. And the situation on Liangshan is occasionally conveyed through different channels.
"It's strange, these guys, it looks like they've resigned themselves to their fate, they don't have any special actions, how did they save Liangshan?"
The carriage was running on the official road, and a table was set up in the carriage. Surrounded by Ning Yi, Wang Shanyue, Qi Xinhan, and Su Wenyu, sorting out the information that had been passed on, Qi Xinhan threw the proclamation in his hand on the table, quite strange about the development of the situation. Wang Shanyue also frowned: "We don't know how to do things in secret, right?" But they can't be cleaned up now, Huairou is useless, and it's not even easy to let people go down the mountain, there are at least hundreds or thousands of brothers inside who are ready to use knives to cut their own people when the chaos arises, I really can't think of what they can do...... Otherwise, could it be that someone else is looking for a rescuer? For example, Tian Hu, at the time of the first war. Defeat the Vurui Battalion? ”
That's all he said. He looked at Ning Yi, Ning Yi was actually thinking about it here, and looked at Su Wenyu: "What do you think, Wenyu?" ”
Su Wenyu is the Su family to be cultivated, and if he is among the crowd, he has always been relatively low-key. At this time, he frowned: "I think...... They wouldn't think about taking refuge in Tian Hu at such a time. But what to do. I didn't think of it either. Second brother-in-law. If it were you, what would you do? ”
Ning Yi took those things and thought for a while: "Wu Yong and Zhu Wu combined, they still can't be underestimated. But in this situation, I think they want a strong man to break his wrist. ”
"At this time...... How to break? ”
"I'm just guessing, but they can't push this situation head-on, and the harder they push, I'm afraid they can only be wiped out next. Once they really realize this, they probably won't dare to push it. In the current game, their only way to survive is not how to break it, because if they can't break it, they can only follow the game and take themselves out. If they were so decisive, it would be the most troublesome thing for us......"
Ning Yi paused, the others were still at a loss, and he laughed: "Think about what the military heart is shaken for, whether it is the leader Tou Cheng, or the internal chaos, or there are people next to him who are eyeing him or the mixed Yuan thunderbolt Lei Feng is too powerful, to summarize the most fundamental point, everyone is worried that if Liang Shan is really broken, I will not survive." Now if I am Song Jiang, Wang Shanyue wants to live, just kill Qi Xinhan, kill my will, you are not so strong, even if you kill me, you can become an official. If this is clear, it is a strong man who breaks his wrist. ”
He didn't say it clearly, he looked at Su Wenyu, several people were stunned, Wang Shanyue said: "It's impossible, you don't mean that he wants to let the situation develop, in that case, Liang Shan...... Liangshan is really finished. ”
"When Dulonggang was in Dulonggang, they withdrew their troops, which could only be regarded as a gecko with a broken tail to escape, and a real strong man broke his wrist, which was painful, and it hurt so much that people wanted to die before they broke their wrists." Ning Yi shook his head and smiled, "If they can think of it, be decisive enough and have enough execution ability, this is the most troublesome thing for us." Su Wenyu, think about it more, and then tell me what to do when you think of it, this is the most troublesome ......"
As he said this, he assigned his homework, the corners of Su Wenyu's mouth twitched, and he nodded helplessly: "Ah......hhhhhh
Wang Shanyue and Qi Xinhan laughed in the carriage, but they also thought in their hearts about what Liangshan would do. It was indeed a headache to substitute himself into the position of Song Jiang and Wu Yong, and over there, Ning Yi sorted out the information: "No matter what, ...... next It's time to get ready for war. ”
On Liangshan, Song Jiang, Wu Yong and others are indeed very headaches at the moment.
On June 15, a skirmish appeared on Liangshan, the cause of which was the friction between the two families who were already not on good terms, which eventually led to dozens of people on each side cutting each other, and when the situation was under control, seven or eight people were already injured. This was actually a situation of mutual restraint, even though there were no dead people, when the matter was reported to the Juyi Hall, Song Jiang, who was sitting on the chair, still grabbed the armrest of the chair and squeaked, unable to say a word.
Using this incident as a starting point, frictions and fights broke out frequently, and then people began to go missing. Bosses large and small are desperately trying to stabilize the situation, and then the suspicion between the bosses is actually escalating. The body of the "Flying Sage" Li Gon was found in the grain and grass on Liangshan, and it was obvious that the inner ghost who killed Li Gon later brought the body back. The brothers Xiang Chong and Fan Rui were stunned when they saw it, and pointed at Li Kui in the Juyi Hall and said, "You see it now!" My brother is not an inner ghost! Li Kui also had nothing to say at that time.
But in fact, everyone understands who is the mastermind and the leader behind pushing things to this point.
Ning Yi and Ning Liheng, at this time, even the most determined and diehard elements in Liangshan had to realize that the revenge that happened in Suzhou had brought unbearable pain to Liangshan at this time, and this person's revenge was far from the end of the moment.
A cottage against a person, and finally to such a field......
In the next few days, the situation intensified, and on June 19, some leaders began to try to leave Liangshan, but not many people were able to actually leave.
In the early morning of June 20, the warships of the Wurui battalion broke through the fog and began to block the waters and pounce on Liangshan. To draw an end to the whole situation, it is less than a month before Liangshan reorganized the army and sent out the division, and at this time, the Wurui battalion rushed to the door, and what was planned before and after, was less than a month...... (To be continued......)
