Zhao Yue frowned slightly: What is Song Jiang doing? Could it be that he thinks that he has people and horses to stand on his own and does not have to rely on Chao Gai?

But then he dismissed the speculation.

No way.

It's not that Song Jiang doesn't want to set up his own faction, so that he can carry out the plan of killing people and setting fires to be recruited more satisfactorily, but he can't.

Song Jiang said that he was a good gun, and he would also do martial arts a few times, but in essence he was just a weak person, who could fool the gang of 'good men' who had no way out in Chai Jin, lure them with a way out, and rely on a little bit to get ideas, so that they could initially form a small group of forces and barely maintain it, but if he really became a robber and had a foothold, he would definitely not be able to suppress those murderous and powerful people, and he would not be able to sit firmly in the position of the boss.

Song Jiang wants to gather forces and sit firmly in the boss position to realize his ambitions, so he can only rely on Chao Gai, who has enough deterrent power to the Green Forest people, with Chao Gai as the core to gather people first, he is the second in command, and slowly forms a stable and orderly powerful bandit group, he has established enough prestige during the period, has been supported, and can sit firmly in the boss position, and then try to seize power from Chao Gai's hands and be the master of his own house.

This is like the relationship between fighting the country and sitting on the country.

The person who provokes the head of the country can be intellectual, but he must be outstanding in force, first of all, he can subdue the unruly man by force, become the core of force with intuitive and persuasive force, and then pinch the men with different thoughts into a mess, and in the future, he will also be able to deter and control the arrogant generals.

This is also the rebel who is always rude and uneducated, who is the boss, full of the ability to govern the country and the country, but the literati whose talents far exceed the boss can only be subservient to the wild man. The reason why honesty should be subordinate to the strategist.

When we started, we were all the same unsatisfactory people. Who knows who can lead everyone out of the world?

Why should I obey you?

You are a sour and rotten literati with a little insight and ideas, and you want to be the boss. Let's willingly do it for you with our heads lifted?

No way.

If it weren't for other force to rely on, this literati who wanted to be the boss was afraid that he would be slaughtered by any pawn who started a fire.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the foreshadowing relationship between Xiang Yu and Liu Bang is a typical example.

Liu Bang is also a rude and unliterate person, with ideas, courage, and political skills, but he can't use force and is not convincing.

If there is no Xiang Yu to deter the anti-kings and princes of various countries, and twist the forces of the kings into a rope. Working together to overthrow the Qin Dynasty is unlikely to overthrow the rule of the Qin Dynasty, at least not to destroy the Qin Dynasty so quickly, and it is very likely that all the departments will be broken and annihilated by the powerful army of the Qin State.

It is also Xiang Yu who can deter the anti-kings of various countries, become the recognized boss, unify the orders, let the anti-kings invisibly have a sense of belonging, and let the rebels in the world slowly form a unified state of obedience to the central government, plus the unified foundation of the Qin Dynasty. Only then will the situation of the unification of the world be stabilized.

It was on this basis that Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu in order to establish a unified Han Dynasty.

If Liu Bang had taken the lead from the beginning, most of the people who would have been squeezed out and killed by the anti-kings would have been Liu Bang first. is also a fart black and thick emperor.

The relationship between Chao Gai and Song Jiang is similar.

Without Song Jiang, Chao Gai would still be able to make a big deal and overturn the vigorous rebellion.

Song Jiang did not cover the foundation as a backer. Mostly a dead ghost in a den of anti-thieves, with wrists. The end is similar to Wang Lun.

With Song Jiang's wisdom, he would not fail to see this. It must be very wise to enter Erlong Mountain first as a small one, and then try to make it big.

Zhao Yue saw through this layer and told Gongsun Sheng with certainty that Song Jiang had become a criminal, and if he was not a robber, there would be no way out, and he would be a robber, but without Chao Tianwang, his life would still be difficult to protect. Song Jiang will definitely lead the team to take refuge in Erlong Mountain, to be precise, to take refuge in Chao Tianwang.

Gongsun Sheng thought about it and understood what Zhao Yue meant.

Song Jiang is famous but has no force, he is not convincing to the martial arts, he can't deter the field, and he really can't sit in the position of the boss in the robber's den, so he can only take refuge in and rely on his close friends to find a good position, and then try to develop. He nodded in agreement.

Zhao Yue smiled and asked Gongsun Sheng: "Are Chao Tianwang and Song Jiang all the way?" ”

Gongsun Sheng shook his head.

Even if both are thieves in Erlong Mountain, their essence is different.

Chao Gai is a grass dweller who does not read much in the countryside. Song Jiang is essentially a scholar and an official. We are all thieves, but we are afraid that our beliefs are very different.

Zhao Yue asked: "Mr. Yiqing, you said that if Chao Tianwang and Song Jiang have different pursuits and fight, who will win?" ”

Gongsun Sheng opened his mouth and wanted to say, naturally the force is strong, and the king who can shake the field will win. Song Jiang is just a black dwarf literati who can be pinched to death by the king of heaven. But then he realized the deep meaning of Zhao Yue's question.

He sighed lightly and said slowly: "The Heavenly King is the Baozheng of the village, and in the final analysis, he is just a righteous and bold farmer. Although Song Jiang is a small official of the county government, he has been ****** for a long time and is well versed in political means and scheming. If my Erlongshan is stable and orderly, Song Jiang sits firmly in the position of the core of the leadership of the cottage, and has a large number of supporters, challenging the authority of the king, and competing for the position of the lord of the village. ”

Gongsun Sheng looked up at Zhao Yue and said sincerely: "I know that Gongzi has a shocking talent, has unpredictable opportunities for ghosts and gods, and can see far-reaching, as early as when he was born, he predicted the future of the Heavenly King and Song Jiang, and it must have a deep meaning to arrange us in Erlong Mountain."

Please say it bluntly, as long as you can keep the Chao Heavenly King and fulfill the love of the poor road and the Heavenly King, Gongsun Sheng is willing to devote himself to service. ”

"Okay."

It's cool to talk to someone who understands, Zhao Yue clapped his hands: "What I want is Mr.'s words." ”

He patted Gongsun Sheng's hand and said directly: "I want to use the prestige of Chao Tianwang in the green forest to gather a military force that can exterminate the three anti-thieves of Hebei Tianhu, Huaixi Wang Qing, and Jiangnan La in the near future with Erlong Mountain, killing many birds with one stone, and sweeping away many evil elements within the Great Song Dynasty in one fell swoop, but not for the Great Song Dynasty, let alone thinking of harming Chao Tianwang." ”

Gongsun Sheng stared at Zhao Yue in shock, and said in a trembling voice: "You mean, you mean your family"

Zhao Yue nodded, "You guessed right." Jurchen rises. The Liao Kingdom is coming to an end. The weak Great Song will follow. wanted to reverse the government of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Qing officials ruled to boost the army. Resist the invasion of the Jin army and protect the health of hundreds of millions of people in our Han Dynasty. No way. Immortals can't do it. My family had to find another way. The pirate army is actually my family's. ”

Gongsun Sheng was shocked again.

Zhao Yue sighed lightly and said, "Mr. Yiqing, my family has established a country. It also has a strong military force, but it wants to not only resist foreign invasion, but also overthrow the Great Song Dynasty, and clean up all kinds of scum and careerists from all walks of life who have penetrated into the Han nation. can only focus on dealing with foreign races, and has to use the forces of Erlong Mountain to complete a battle. Mr. Ichikiyo, can you understand? ”

Gongsun Sheng was stunned for a long time before he said: "No wonder your eldest brother let the horses flow into the hands of the anti-thieves, and he is not afraid that the anti-thieves will endanger the Great Song Dynasty." It turned out that he wanted to use the four great Kou in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, including my Erlong Mountain, to destroy the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Zhao Yue nodded: "What Mr. said is good. To be precise, it is to use counterforces to eradicate the rotten foundation of the Han nation from people to ideas. ”

Gongsun said, "Thank you for your frankness. ”

"Just. King Chao will never take refuge in the imperial court, and be willing to destroy the butcher's knife of other thieves. How can you be sure that Song Jiang will definitely part ways with Chao Tianwang, lead his followers to surrender to the imperial court, and indirectly achieve your goal on your behalf? ”

Zhao Yue said: "Song Jiang will lead the soldiers and horses of Erlongshan to beat the officers and soldiers through this process, and will definitely recruit rebels through this process, gather strength, and also attract the attention of the imperial court, and have the qualifications to be recruited." Then he was recruited and re-followed the path of serving the country and honoring his ancestors. ”

Gongsun Sheng said: "Are you saying that Song Jiang embarked on the road of rebellion with the intention of killing people and setting fire to be recruited from the beginning?" ”

Zhao Yue nodded and said, "His political purpose is different from that of the Heavenly King, Tian Hu, Wang Qing, and Fang La, who is not currently opposed but will be opposed sooner or later.

Like other scholars in the Great Song Dynasty, he was educated to form a strong sense of loyalty and patriotism. If you can be admitted to the Jinshi and become an official successfully, maybe this consciousness will not be so strong, and you just can't pass the exam. is conceited and talented, and there is no way out in a small county. can't mix up the top position and show his ambitions, so he is particularly eager to be recognized by the court and the emperor. Only then did he become more and more loyal to the monarch and patriotic.

He rebelled not because he wanted to build a kingdom alone and become the emperor, and he didn't think that the Great Song Dynasty would die, the key was to be loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, and when he saw that the Great Song Dynasty was facing extinction, he was afraid that not only would he not take advantage of the fire to rob and push it, but he wanted to stand up and be the loyal minister who turned the tide and left a reputation in the annals of history. ”

Gongsun Sheng looked skeptical, and said in his heart: "People's hearts are unpredictable. You are too arbitrary and sure of Song Jiang. ”

Zhao Yue smiled and said, "I'm not in a hurry to make a conclusion about this. Just as the Heavenly King of Chao would not easily return to anyone. Only time can change and prove everything.

Mr. Yiqing, I just want you to be a good assistant in the development of Erlong Mountain by Chao Tianwang's side, and pay attention to reminding and protecting the Heavenly King. Song Jiang, let him plan and play to his heart's content. At that time, those who can follow the king of heaven will naturally have another way out. ”

Gongsun Sheng hugged his fists and said very simply: "Gongzi has a heart, Cangzhao is merciful and faithful, and it is worth following." 1. Qingding and working hard to do it. ”

He turned his head to look at the silent Li Zhong, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the tiger general of Erlong Mountain will already be the son of the son, right?" ”

Li Zhong was embarrassed and said a few times: "I didn't deliberately deceive my brother, I was ordered to do it." ”

"I have to do it."

Gongsun Sheng nodded and smiled: "Listen, listen to this word, how good it is."

Fighting tiger generals, by the way, there is also the little overlord Zhou Tong, well, I am afraid that the martial arts and cultivation of the two brothers Du Qian and Song Wan have surprisingly improved rapidly, and it turned out that they were backed by Cangzhao and were edified. This confusion has finally been clarified today. ”

All three laughed.

Everyone is their own person, and the rest will be easy to do.

The three of them agreed on a plan for the night.

The next day, Zhao Yue ordered Xu Jin to take Hai Dongqing to reconnoiter and grasp the whereabouts of Yelu Mawu when he arrived at Mulu Fort, and took the Erlong Mountain Department to quietly follow him to ambush near Mulu Fort. Li Zhong led people to send the payment truck back to Cheongju. Wang Nianjing accompanied Gongsun Sheng and 400 men.

He himself, Wu Neng, and the Liu brothers sent the two women back to Qingzhou first.

Li Zhong's department has dozens of trucks, which can mix the caravan from the checkpoint and return properly.

Zhao Yue, but they secretly crossed the border.

Finally returned smoothly, and arrived at the first city of the Qingzhou border pass, Jinsuo Pass, but saw the Qingzhou general Zhu Tong guarding here.

When Zhu Tong saw Zhao Yue, he was overjoyed, but the first sentence was: "San Lang, if you don't come back, Master Hou is only afraid that he will be poked into a sieve by his mother's eyes." ”

Zhao Yue was taken aback when he heard this, and frowned: "My mother is here?" ”

"More than that."

Zhu Tong said in a low voice: "The old lady is also here." Hehe, don't say much, anyway, these days, Hou Ye's life is really sad. ”

Zhao Yue secretly screamed badly, and he really wanted to see his mother, who he hadn't seen for a long time, but he knew that he couldn't return to Liao once he saw him.

He smiled bitterly and asked Zhu Tong to arrange someone to escort the Liu family and Miss Xue back to Qingzhou City to rest first, and explained something again.

Zhu Tong said helplessly: "You have decided, and the general has no choice but to comply." I just hope you go early and come back early. Rather, I have sinned. ”

Zhao Yue smiled.

Zhu Tong is a righteous and honest man, and he can rest assured that things will be handled by him.

Subsequently, Zhao Yue and Wuneng Li Zhong sneaked across the border from the closest place to Mulu Fort on foot, and after entering the Liao Kingdom, they casually stole two horses as foot force and quickly dived to Mulu Fort, with the help of Hai Dongqing, they quickly found Xu Jin and joined Gongsun Shengbu.

Yeluma's gang dragged their feet and had just arrived at their decentralized destination.

Because of the status of the royal family, even if it was demoted to the people, the local government knew that this family was different from those royal families who had fallen early, and they might be forgiven by the emperor at any time, so they did not dare to slack off, so they vacated and packed up Mulu Fort in advance to welcome the arrival of the five fathers and sons of Yeluma. After all, it was the object of the emperor's anger, and it was inconvenient for the local chief officials to come forward, so they specially arranged for subordinate officials to bring wine and food to entertain and condole.

In the cold season, after a long journey and a lot of hardships, I finally arrived, and finally had a home to relax and rest.

Whether it was the Han slaves or the Khitans, they all breathed a sigh of relief and showed their ease.

Hermes-Epitek consciously found a house outside the fort to settle down, and soon began spring ploughing and production, and could not spare a few days. At this time, no one cares about their problems and troubles. The Khitan people lived in the castle with the Yelu family, and that night there was a large wine banquet, accompanied by the local reception staff to drink wildly, and it was noisy until the third watch in the middle of the night, and the wine was drunk and the meat was full, and they went to the hot kang one by one to fall asleep.

The five sons of Jeruma used to be royal nobles who lived in luxurious houses in the city, and they had long been accustomed to housing, and they had traveled thousands of miles from the north to this place, and finally lived in a spacious, warm and fresh house, no longer had to bend in the small and damp tent, no longer had to smell the unpleasant smell of oily smoke and mold mixed with the tent, and slept very sweetly in the light and fluttering drunkenness.

It was the full moon that night, and a silver glow illuminated the earth.

Mulu Fort is not big, but the city wall is very high, but unfortunately it can't stop Zhao Yue and his party.

Gongsun Sheng led the team into the castle and destroyed a few Khitans who were half-drunk and forced to patrol and keep vigil, so easy that they couldn't easily destroy this group of Khitans whose combat effectiveness was already very strong. (To be continued.) )
