At the beginning of the new year, Song Jiang kept going to the leader's house to pay New Year's greetings, and during this time, he also went to the sentries to take a look, saying something hard and so on, and the sentries were quite excited. Song Jiang went to the homes of Professor Pan and Blacksmith Wang respectively to pay New Year's greetings, and by the way, made preliminary arrangements for the management of property and the establishment of the arsenal after the Chinese New Year, of course, drinking was indispensable.

Now the people of Qingfeng Mountain feel that Song Jiang is approachable, can get along with others, and is very knowledgeable, commanding battles, strategizing, and building cottages with foresight...... There is nothing he won't do, and I don't know if it's a bit lacking to describe it as a god-man.

After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the team's holiday ended, and the training of the previous year was resumed. Song Jiang also convened the leaders to discuss the military action that had been brewing for a long time - the killing of Liu Gao during the Lantern Festival.

Yan Shun and the other three arrived, and Song Jiang got straight to the point and said: "Last time, when I went to Qingfeng Village, I took fifty taels of gold from the cottage, and I didn't explain it to the brothers at that time, so it's time today." I asked Hua Rong to take the gold to Qingzhou Mansion to make some points, especially bribing Murong Prefect, in order to let Hua Rong take the throne, so that our Qingfeng Mountain will be much safer, and at the same time, we can open our restaurant in Qingfeng Town, and all the troubles will disappear. ”

Wang Ying asked puzzledly: "Now that the imperial court is noble and martial, Hua Rong is a military general, and his status is low, can the Murong Prefect let him take the throne?" Besides, Liu Gao is alive and well, and I see it difficult for me to be in the upper position. ”

"As the saying goes, people are short-handed, and people are soft-mouthed, Murong took so much gold, and a mere Zhengzhizhai is just a favor. As for Liu Gao'......" Song Jiang suddenly said, "It's slaughtered, just to make room for Brother Hua Xian." ”

After thinking for a while, Yan Shun said: "Brother, this task brother has taken it, I will take a few clever brothers to go, and promise to bring Liu Gao's dog head, if it doesn't work, it will become a benevolent!" ”

Wang Ying argued: "I'd better go!" You're in charge of team training now, and you're a busy man, so how can you be free. ”

"You've just gotten married, and your body has been hollowed out, so how can you have the strength to kill. Or I'll go, so as not to be careless, so that your little Chanchan will be widowed. ”

Zheng Tianshou's ridicule was not funny at all, because the rest of the people did not have a trace of laughter, but there was a kind of gratitude in their eyes that only a brother had. What are the three of you doing? Explain the aftermath like a scramble, is my plan to send you to death? Song Jiang said: "What task are you competing for?" ”

"Kill Liu Gao! Qingfeng Town is protected by Qingfeng Village, we can't fight blatantly, we can only stab! ”

Song Jiang sighed in his heart when he heard this, this is a brother with affection and righteousness, who jokes with each other on weekdays, and when he really encounters danger, he rushes to go and leave his safety to his brothers. He thought it was ridiculous again, these tenacious guys, when did I say that you should go hard.

Song Jiang looked at the three of them: "Who said that you were going to sneak up and assassinate?" We want to make a big fanfare, make a big fuss in Qingfeng Village on the night of the Lantern Festival, slaughter Liu Gao, move him by the way, and move the people's fat and ointment he looted to the mountain. ”

"Brother, no!" Yan Shun hurriedly said: "This matter is too difficult, we have to take down Qingfeng Village before we can enter Liu Gao's house in Qingfeng Town." When Liu Gao hears the rumors, if he escapes, our sacrifice will be meaningless. There are many ways to kill Liu Gao, let's think long-term, don't take risks! ”

"That's right! Right! Let's think of something else. Wang Ying then persuaded: "Besides, although Hua Rong is commensurate with his brother and brother, if we really go into the village, smash his job, and ruin his future, can he agree?" Definitely going to fight with us! ”

Zheng Tianshou persuaded again: "The two elder brothers are reasonable, even if Hua Rong turns a blind eye and kills Liu Gao like this, Hua Rong's crime of dereliction of duty is confirmed, how can Murong let him take the throne?" I'm afraid that when the time comes, we will have to send him prison food, so that if we don't talk about it, our plan will be ruined, and it won't be worth it at all! ”

Looking at the three brothers who were anxious, Song Jiang really couldn't cry or laugh, these three people don't see how smart they are on weekdays, and today it seems that their brains are immediately better, the head of the analysis is the Tao, and the plan has not yet been said to be despised first, and then abandoned. Song Jiang didn't refute, and when they didn't speak, thinking that he was convinced, he suddenly said, "I, Song Jiang, will take the action plan you said?" Is that the plan? It's a bad idea! When have you ever seen me do something that hurts others and is not good for myself? None of your worries are a problem, and I have a plan to resolve them. Would you like to listen to my plan first, and then make an evaluation? ”

The three of them seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said in unison: "Brother, please speak!" ”

"First of all, let's talk about the officers and soldiers of Qingfeng Village that you are worried about. On the night of the Lantern Festival, Wang Ying led three companies of the second battalion, each holding two torches, bluffing to attack Qingfeng Village, and fixed the officers and soldiers in Qingfeng Village. In this way, the rest of the people can easily make a fuss at Liu Gao's house in Qingfeng Town. ”

"Wonderful! Brother, don't whet our appetite anymore, let's tell all the plans! Yan Shun looked impatient and shouted loudly.

Song Jiang said: "Emperor Daojun is so ambitious, every year the Lantern Festival will be a big lantern to show his determination to enjoy with the people." So the Lantern Festival night is the time when Liu Gao is the most lax, when the Yanshun brothers lead a hundred daredevils to pretend to be the people watching the lanterns, enter Liu Gao's house, take it when it should be taken, kill it when it should be killed, be sure to capture Liu Gao alive, and when you come back, you have to let Liu Gao let us go before the checkpoint. ”

"After Yan Shun entered Liu's mansion, he wanted to set a big fire, and the Wang Ying brothers immediately feinted with fire as a name. Each person holds two torches in his hand, in order to bluff and look like there are many people, and some soldiers and officers who are good at shooting are selected to shoot at each other, so that they can always tense their nerves and dare not relax. Brother Wang Ying remember, although it is a feint, the fake drama should be done really, and the flaws cannot be exposed and the officers and soldiers can be recognized, try to drag the officers and soldiers at the gate of the village, and the safety of Yan Shun and other hundred brothers depends on whether your acting skills are superb. ”

Wang Ying arched his hand and said: "Definitely make a big formation, and I won't delay my brother's affairs." ”

"We are going to pretend to be the heroes of Liangshanbo this time, so after robbing Liu Gao, we will march in the direction of Liangshanbo. I looked at the map, and there was a three-way crossing ten miles out of Qingfeng Town, one road leading directly to the official road, one road leading to Liangshanbo, and the other road leading to Qingfeng Mountain, where the cavalry of the Zheng Tianshou brothers met us. When the time comes, we will kill Liu Gao and blame Liang Shanbo, and the two of them will ride up the mountain quickly. ”

"This is a good opportunity to make a name for yourself in the rivers and lakes, how can you let it be given to them." Zheng Tianshou said: "Moreover, pretending to be a good man in Liangshanbo will have a bad relationship with them. ”

"Brothers, we don't know, we worked hard to make Qingfeng Mountain have a safe environment." Song Jiang knew that he had to talk more again, and said patiently: "If we blatantly kill Liu Gao in the name of Qingfeng Mountain and kill the officials of the imperial court, Qingzhou Mansion will inevitably send a large army to suppress it, are we capable of stopping it?" Seeing that they understood a little, Song Jiang said again: "Now that we shift the court's attention elsewhere, we will be safe." Moreover, Chao Gai of Liangshanbo and I have a great friendship, and there are definitely no bad words. And Liangshan is powerful, and the officers and soldiers can't help it for a while. ”

Song Jiang struck while the iron was hot and said: "Think about it, Hua Rong and the thieves fought desperately at night to defend the village, and there was no fault. Liu Gao for his own selfish interests, annoyed Liangshanbo, Qingfeng Town had this catastrophe, and he privately let Liangshanbo people pass the checkpoint, Xiaoli said that this was greedy for life and afraid of death, and Dali said that it was a bandit. The so-called tree falls and scatters, who will excuse him when he dies. Therefore, after this battle, Hua Rong will definitely be in charge of Qingfeng Village alone, and then Qingfeng Mountain and Qingfeng Village will reach some kind of balance. Only when we are safe will we have a chance to develop further. Song Jiang said meaningfully again: "Brothers, you have to use your brains more in everything, don't do things like eggs touching stones!" ”

All three nodded in acquiescence. Yan Shun suddenly asked, "Brother, if the gate of Liu's Mansion is closed, do we want to attack it?" In this way, the brothers will have casualties, and Liu Gao will have a chance to escape. ”

"Good question, Brother Wang Ying is very smart. As soon as the details are sparse, the details must be discussed in the future, otherwise a small negligence will ruin a big thing. If the gate is not opened, we cannot afford to lose by storming, and I have a way to win the gate. Song Jiang said mysteriously: "Brothers, have fished, fishing has to have bait to make the fish take the bait, we give Liu Gao bait, he will definitely be able to take the bait." ”

Everyone looked at each other, left and right, and finally did not speak, looking at Song Jiang with eyes full of longing.

Song Jiang understood that if he didn't speak, he was waiting for an answer, so he said seriously: "With me as bait, Liu Gao will definitely be allowed to enter the net." ”

"How can you let my brother take risks, it's inappropriate, it's inappropriate!" Yan Shun waved his hand and said, "My brother's safety is the most important thing. ”

"My safety is responsible for Huachen, so you don't have to worry." Song Jiang said decisively: "When Liu Gao opens the door to arrest me, you take advantage of the situation to kill me." This matter is settled, stop arguing with me, you don't have the potential to be bait. ”

"Why, brother?" Yan Shun said suspiciously: "Isn't it just a bait, Liu Gao's wife has seen us, and whoever does it is the same!" "Yan Shun thought to herself that you are also dark and not slippery, I don't believe that woman is very impressed by you.

Song Jiang smiled and said: "Look at yourself, all of them are fierce and vicious, and when the Liu family sees that they dare to send someone to arrest you, they are afraid that they will hide far away." And I look like a weak scholar, she doesn't look for me to be unlucky? After a slight pause, Song Jiang said again: "There are many people in this world who like to bully the soft and fear the hard, especially these officials, who are simply old ladies eating persimmons - picking up the soft pinch." Hehe, this time he was afraid of pinching on the stone. ”

Seeing Song Jiang's strategizing, the brothers knew that the Lantern Festival was another complete victory, so they looked forward to the arrival of the Lantern Festival even more.

Song Jiang instructed Yan Shun to select a hundred death squad members, and start training strictly from today, all to prepare for the Lantern Festival. But do not reveal the slightest hint of information about the operation to the soldiers, lest the plan leak out.

Hua Chen also has insights in these days, he always feels that Song Jiang's thinking is smooth, natural, resourceful and calculating, it is definitely not a thing in the pool, it seems that he will follow this boss in the future. Thinking of this, I feel that the burden on my body is heavy, and I must protect Song Jiang.
