Chapter 159: Righteous Persuasion of Qingfeng Mountain
- Qingzhou Mansion
"What? Song Jiang has already taken Peach Blossom Mountain? What about the thief's first week? Murong Yanda asked in surprise.
Master Liu replied, "My lord, let Song Jiang talk about this." The others have already arrived outside the house. ”
Murong Yanda smiled and said, "What you said is reasonable, hurry up and invite him in!" ”
Song Jiang walked in quickly, and when he saw Murong Yanda, he bowed and said, "Xiaguan Song Jiang has seen the prefect." ”
Murong Yanda nodded and said, "Song Prison has good means, I heard that you have taken Peach Blossom Mountain?" ”
Song Jiang raised his head and said to Murong Yanda, "Lord Hui, the thieves of Peach Blossom Mountain have all returned to Shun, and the cottage is already under the control of Huazhizhai. ”
Murong Yanda was first overjoyed, then stunned, and asked, "Shun?" ”
Song Jiang hurriedly said, "But it is to return to Shun, the thief Zhou Tong saw that the adults sent heavenly soldiers to arrive, and was said a few words by the lower officials, so he immediately called the gate of the village to lead the group of thieves to return to Shun, the lower officials thought that Qingzhou was a troubled time, and it was the time to employ people, so they boldly agreed to them." ”
"Song Jiang! How bold you are!! Murong Yanda stood up abruptly and shouted, "I don't know how many of those thieves are important criminals of the imperial court, who are you, and you dare to forgive their sins?" ”
Song Jiang bowed again and said, "My lord! At this time, it is just a peach blossom mountain, and there are still many bandits in Qingzhou, if the bandits surrender and we refuse, then these bandits will inevitably fight to the death, and I am afraid that something will really happen at that time.
My lord!! Everything in the lower officials is out of public intentions, out of consideration for adults! ”
As he spoke, Song Jiang hurriedly glanced at Master Liu, who stretched out a palm behind him and flipped it over. Song Jiang gritted his teeth and blinked.
Master Liu said to Murong Yanda at this time, "My lord, I don't think Song Prison's words are unreasonable, these bandits are naturally deserved, but Qingzhou doesn't have Qingfeng Mountain and Erlong Mountain, I think it is a big deal to let Song Prison take these bandits to attack the second place, this is a plan to drive away the wolf and devour the tiger!" ”
As he spoke, Master Liu whispered to Murong Yanda, "When the time comes, the adults can report these people to the imperial court in the name of the fallen soldiers, those pensions..."
Murong Yanda's eyes rolled, he smiled slightly, nodded to Song Jiang and said, "Song Jiang, since this is the case, then the lord will give them a chance, as long as they can pacify the other two mountains, then their sins will be played by the imperial court and they will be exempted." ”
Song Jiang hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, Lord Prefect." ”
Murong Yanda smiled and said, "But since they haven't been exonerated yet, they are wearing guilty bodies, before the court documents come down, these people can't be regarded as sergeants, that is, they won't have their food, clothing, and armor, do you understand?" ”
Song Jiang was shocked, "My lord, this must not be, in this way, I am afraid that these surrendered troops will have different intentions." ”
Murong Yanda said coldly, "These people are thieves, even if you kill them all now, it is the greatest grace to let them survive, if these thieves really don't know whether they are alive or dead, they will have different intentions, and they will be killed!" ”
Song Jiang heard a sigh in his heart, and he didn't dare to say anything more, so he could only respond.
Song Jiang returned to Qingfeng Village, and the three hundred young men brought by Kong Ming and Kong Liang were sent back, and all those clothes were given to the original Taohuashan people, plus the original Qingfeng Village, and the hundreds of brothers in Zhou Tong also wore the clothes of officers and soldiers, and they looked decent.
Seeing Song Jiang coming back, Hua Rong smiled and said, "Brother, I'm afraid the prefect praised my brother a lot this time." ”
Kong Ming arched his hand and said, "That is, what kind of person is my master, and the prefect dares to be disrespectful to my master?" Among so many people in Qingzhou, which one is like my master? ”
Song Jiang smiled bitterly, walked in front of Zhou Tong who was standing behind, just bowed, Zhou Tong hurriedly dodged, and said, "What's wrong with my brother, why do you want to worship me again?" ”
As soon as Song Jiang raised his head, his eyes were already full of tears, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Vulgar officials mislead the country!" That Murong Yanda heard that Brother Xian took his brother down the mountain and actually wanted to kill Brother Xian and all the brothers! ”
"What?"
"Really?"
"Master, no, is Murong Lao'er crazy?"
Several people shouted in surprise.
Zhou Tong took a step back, he looked at Song Jiang, gritted his teeth and said, "Why is this old thief so vicious, although our brother went up the mountain to be a coward, he didn't hurt many people's lives!" ”
In fact, to tell the truth, although Zhou Tong is a bully, but there is really a trace of goodness in his heart, he went down the mountain to Peach Blossom Village to take the gold, silver and silk to propose, not to rob the relatives, if it is the bantam tiger who changed Qingfeng Mountain, I am afraid that he will directly lead the troops into Peach Blossom Village, which is why Song Jiang used beauty tricks on him, used on Qingfeng Mountain, maybe it was really a meat bun to beat a dog, and there was no return.
Song Jiang grabbed Zhou Tong's hand and said, "You and I are brothers, how can I be willing to do it, brother, I want to protect my life, the prefect finally promised to let your brother make meritorious contributions, as long as we pacify the other two mountains, the prefect is willing to write to the court to clear your sins." ”
Only then did everyone take a long breath, and Zhou Tong said to Song Jiang gratefully, "Thank you, brother, for maneuvering through this." ”
Song Jiang shook his head and said, "Even so, the prefect said that if the imperial court does not issue documents for a day, you will not be an official or soldier for a day, and this clothing will be counted, but the food and armor will not be provided." ”
Hua Rong hurriedly said, "How can this work?" There are hundreds of Zhou Tong brothers, people eat horses and chew, there is no money and food, how can they fight? ”
Zhou Tong stomped his feet and said, "I still have some silver money on the cottage, and I can support it for a while, but after a long time... My brothers believed in me, so they came down the mountain with me, if I couldn't even eat, how could I explain to my brothers? ”
Song Jiang nodded and said, "So to pacify Ershan, we must fight quickly, Brother Hua Rongxian, tell us about the situation in Qingfeng Mountain?" ”
Hua Rong shook his head and said, "This Qingfeng Mountain is now stuck on the mountain, especially after the news of our pacification of Peach Blossom Mountain came out, Qingfeng Mountain is even more vigilant, if you really want to attack it, you won't hurt four or five hundred people, I'm afraid it will be difficult to enter." ”
Song Jiang narrowed his eyes and said, "This can't be done... So I'll write a letter first, and you shoot an arrow up the mountain, and then I'll talk about anything else. ”
- Qingfeng Mountain
"Song Jiang. Song Gongming.." Yan Shun muttered, "What do you think of this matter, two brothers?" ”
Wang Ying stood up and said, "This Song Jiang Song Gongming is known as timely rain, and he is a first-class hero on the ground in Shandong, which is a mouthful of spit and a nail, and that Zhoutong is also good now, I think I can consider going down the mountain!" ”
Zheng Tianshou said with some hesitation: "I'm not worried about Song Jiang, I'm just worried about that old thief Murong." ”
Yan Shun sighed: "I walk from the green forest
, It's been more than ten years, I also heard about the rain today, and I heard about Hu Baoyi tomorrow, I have long been yearning in my heart, I also heard that the old thief Murong is not a thing, but it is like this, I think we have to go down the mountain, otherwise the old thief Murong will harm Song Jiang in the future, and he will not even help..."
Wang Ying clapped his hands and said, "Isn't it?" If this is really the case, then we can also help Brother Gongming at that time, it's better like this, if the old thief Murong can really tolerate us, we will be under Brother Gongming, if the old thief Murong has hidden evil intentions, we will take Brother Gongming up the mountain! ”
Yan Shun nodded and said, "That's fine, if Song Jiang can really go up the mountain, I will voluntarily give him the first chair!" ”
Zheng Tianshou said at this time, "But none of us have ever seen that Song Jiang, whether this Song Jiang is the same as the rumors, I don't know." ”
Yan Shun snorted and said, "In that case, let's test it and see how he is!" ”
——
"What? The king of your family wants our master to go up the mountain alone to discuss? Kong Ming stopped doing it right away, and said to Song Jiang, "Brother, this is not good." ”
Song Jiang thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll go up the mountain alone!" ”
Hua Rong also persuaded, "Brother Song Jiang, this is too risky, at least bring the younger brother with you." ”
Song Jiang smiled: "What is this?" It's just a seer meeting with a future brother, so what's the risk? Besides, I don't think your king is a man who doesn't speak of faith, right? ”
The minion opened his mouth and didn't know how to answer, so he could only say, "Then please go up the mountain!" ”
- Qingfeng Mountain
"Brother Gongming really came alone?" Yan Shun said in surprise.
Wang Ying stomped his feet and said, "It's really here!" Big brother, that's just in time to rain Song Jiang! Are we going out to meet us? ”
Yan Shun said at the moment, "Let's go, go and meet him." ”
Yan Shun took Wang Ying and Zheng Tianshou to the door, and saw Song Jiang coming over, and immediately bowed, "Yan Shun has seen Brother Song Jiang!" ”
Song Jiang smiled and said, "Brother Yanshun, I have heard of you in the past, you are a good man, but since you are a good man, you can't help but think about your brother, you also know what I said in the letter, you want me to go up the mountain alone, I am also here, no matter what today, you and I can go to eat a drink for my brother first, and then you tell me your thoughts, how about it?" ”
Yan Shun hurriedly said, "Brother Gongming is so sincere, where do I have something to say, and invite my brother in!" ”
Song Jiang let out a long breath in his heart, he also took the risk this time, firstly, he was confident in his reputation for more than ten years of hard work, and secondly, because Murong did not give money and food, he didn't say it in his mouth, but he was in a hurry, so he could only take risks.
On the second day, Yan Shun took more than 300 minions who were willing to join the army down the mountain, and since then, Qingfeng Mountain has been pacified.
- Qingzhou Military Camp
"Master, why are you still here leisurely! Don't you know that something is wrong? An officer walked into the tent and saw a big man reading a book, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said.
The big man looked at the officer and asked, "Huang Xin, what's wrong?" They all say that I am a thunderbolt, and I see that your temper is not smaller than mine. ”
Huang Xin sighed, walked up to Qin Ming and said, "I said, Master, then Song Jiang has already taken Qingfeng Mountain!" ”
"What? How can it be so fast? It hasn't been five days since he took Peach Blossom Mountain, right? Qin Ming exclaimed in surprise.
Huang Xin sat down and said, "But isn't it? But who called him Song Jiang famous in the green forest? Yan Shun and the others from Qingfeng Mountain knew that Song Jiang was coming, so they went down the mountain and surrendered. ”
Saying that, Huang Xin shook his head and said, "Such a comparison, Master, I don't have the face to go out." ”
Qin Ming was a person who didn't think much, thought about it and sighed, "That's also someone else's ability, what can I do?" ”
Huang Xin saw Qin Ming like this, he was also helpless, only said a few more words, and then walked out, when he got outside, he thought about it, and said to himself, "The rest is just that, Erlong Mountain must not let Song Jiang take it so quickly, the terrain of Erlong Mountain is the most sinister among the three mountains, and the evil monk is also unconvinced on weekdays, and he will definitely not directly return to Song Jiang..."
Huang Xin made up his mind and left.
The news of Yan Shun's surrender reached Qingzhou City, and Murong Yanda couldn't help but have a trace of fear in his heart for Song Jiang, could such a person really master it himself?
Murong Yanda thought about it, and while sending people to send some money and grain to Qingfeng Village to reward him, he urged Song Jiang to continue to attack Erlong Mountain.
Song Jiang was also complacent, and after three days of repair, he ordered 800 soldiers and horses, leaving only the flower carving, and the rest were all taken to Erlong Mountain.
Not to mention Song Jiang's setbacks in attacking Erlong Mountain this time, look at Jiang De, he has already arrived in Yunzhou at this time.

"Shopkeeper, how far are you from Liangshanbo here?" Zhu Wu asked the shopkeeper of the wild shop.
The shopkeeper of the wild shop said while packing up his things, "It's not far away, you all have horses, guest officers, and you will be there in three or four hours." ”
At the next table were a few merchants, and they asked the shopkeeper, "We are all merchants, I heard that this Liangshanbo is a little unpeaceful this year, can you go?" If it's not easy, we're going to have to change the route. ”
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "It's not peaceful, there are a lot of heroes gathered on Liangshan, but it's easy to go, and it's not in the way." ”
Jiang De smiled and asked, "Your shopkeeper is talking interestingly, since there is a strong man, why is it not in the way?" Could it be that these strong men are all fasting and reciting Buddha, and they will not go down the mountain and harm our lives? ”
"Haha, shopkeeper, hurry up and get the wine out! The men and horses of Liangshan have come down again! This time, I don't know which bully is being targeted by them again! A man dressed as a farmer happily entered the wild shop and shouted for wine.
"Huh? Is it really coming? Will it come to this? Shopkeeper, do you have a place to hide here? When the merchant next to him heard that there were really people from Liangshan, he was shocked.
The shopkeeper still smiled and said, "Don't get in the way, the heroes of Liangshan have never done anything to our people, just my wild shop, Liangshan soldiers and horses have passed two or three times, and they have never come in, just to drink water, and they also stand outside to drink." ”
Jiang De and the others looked at each other and smiled, and the merchant asked, "Don't hurt the people, then what do they eat and drink?" ”
The farmer said, "It doesn't hurt the people, but it doesn't hurt people, and isn't there some people who aren't people?" Liangshan's soldiers and horses went down the mountain, generally targeted, the targets were those squire bullies who were rich and unkind, they were arrested and copied the family property, Liangshan did not take it all, but gave a part to the people, do you say we are still afraid of them? We're hoping they come... It's a pity, several rich families in our village are good people, otherwise, hehe! ”
