Chapter 1360: Using the Defeated Army, Song Jiang's Disposition
Xiao Tang set the ministry assignments of all the leaders and read them out in the Gathering Hall. The vast majority of people also have a gut feeling that their appointments are in line with their previous expectations. Just like Mr. Jin Jian, Li Zhu is still willing to join the leadership team of the village as a strategist, while his nephew Li Kai can lead the soldiers and horses all the way not only more experience, but also make meritorious contributions.
As for Liu Fa, almost all of them live alone behind the mountain, and he is only a leader of many regular forbidden officers to visit, but he was promoted by Xiao Tang to the position of deputy marshal of the Zhuzhai Mabu Army, and all the brothers in the village can also agree.
Although this natural god general still tries to avoid being a head-on enemy with the Song court's official army, Sha Mo also has to wait until Jin Guozhen is as Xiao Tang expected, when he sees that after the invasion of the Great Liao, he will still be greedy and swallow the elephant and go south, he will go out of the mountain to help Xiao Tang resist foreign enemies, but Liu Fa, as a general admired and admired by all the generals of the elite Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty, is also a figure who can compete with the old and small races in terms of prestige in the army.
And although Mu Hong, Lei Heng, Yang Xiong and others fell from the original Liangshan and even the main general in the original book to the deputy general, they were all appointments that they could accept calmly in their hearts. Although the two brothers Mu Hong and Mu Chun were in awe of Xiao Tang when they first met him (although they were not acquainted), they were in awe of him, but after all, his Mu family was because he added all his family property to Liangshan military resources without saying a word, which was especially important to Song Jiang, and even promoted him to an important position like the eight hussars of the horse army in the original work, but in terms of leading troops to fight, although Mu Hong fought bravely and was not afraid of death, he was not outstanding compared to other infantry generals; As for Lei Heng and Yang Xiong first from Song Jiang and then to Xiao Tang, now they can be hired and gathered together, and they are also content, without any dissatisfaction.
The other leaders of the green forest who were transferred to the various Ma Bu armies as partial generals, although there were also characters who were the masters of a village, knew that long before they came to join the gang, Xiao Tang was already a fierce general, and most of the people who did all the way to the Ma Bu Army were also people who had admired their names on the road for a long time.
Of course, although almost all of the brothers who were appointed to the ministry were willing to rise up with Xiao Tang, there were still Chang Shun, Ye Chun and others who originally only planned to be obedient to the people, but because of the persuasion of their grandson and the fact that they had been acting under Xiao Tang for a long time after being intimidated by that Xu Dadao, they were no longer able to get out of the way, and without the protection of the green forest villages, they were afraid that they would be hunted down and imprisoned by the government on the charge of fornication and anti-thieves, so they had to come to join the gang. For Chang Shun, Ye Chun and others, Xiao Tang also had kind words to comfort and comfort, and he was at ease for the time being, after all, when the time came for the heroes of all roads to resist the invasion and plundering of foreign enemies, they would finally fully understand the purpose of Xiao Tang's anti-flag, and what he said was indeed true.
The leaders present discussed a lot, and the generals who were transferred to the same branch also immediately stepped forward to greet each other, although the scene was lively, but some people were very surprised, just like Liang Xing and Zhao Yun glanced at each other, they knew that whether it was the four people from Hongluo Mountain, or Wang Gui, who had the same friendship with Xiao Tang's brother, they were not famous in the green forest, and they could not compare to those heroes who had already become famous in the rivers and lakes, and they should also be transferred to serve as deputy generals in that way.
But now Wang Gui and Ji Qing have been transferred to Hua Rong, a peerless cavalry general under Xiao Tang's brother, as a partial general, and Shi Quan, the original first position in Hongluo Mountain, has also been transferred to the Benlei Army led by Qin Ming, a thunderbolt who is famous for his fierceness in the village. But the two of them were left to separate from their old brothers and go to the Taihang Mountain area of Hedong Road to take care of another village, Liang Xing and Zhao Yunzi were also surprised, I don't know what Brother Xiao Tang's special arrangements were for the two of them, but what his intentions were.
After the announcement of the appointment of the leaders, Cao Zheng naturally arranged preparations in the village and held a feast, and all the brothers who were currently gathered in Shuibo Liangshan ate and celebrated happily. Liang Xing and Zhao Yun, who were looking at each other, also immediately saw Xiao Tang with a smile on their faces, and paced with Xu Guanzhong, Xiao Jiasui and other brothers, and were about to secretly give secrets and explain to the two chief and deputy who had organized the anti-gold armed "Zhongyi Bao Society" in the civil society in the official history......

When Li Congji, Wang Wende, Xiang Yuanzhen and other family members of the Jiedu envoys were also picked up from Bianliang, Tokyo, and arrived at Shuibo Liangshan. These veterans who were accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves in the green forest and officialdom caught up with Mei Zhanmei Dalang who rushed to the village for a period of time, Han Cunbao and Yang Wen still had to take into account the reputation of the family that had been loyal to the Song court for generations, so they had to say goodbye with tears and other old brothers who had decided to stay in Liangshan, and parted ways.
Regarding the matter of Liu Fa, Hu Yanzhuo and others being settled in the village, Han Cunbao and Yang Wen also guaranteed that they would not leak the slightest rumor, lest the traitors in the DPRK and China take the opportunity to persecute their descendants of the same clan. As for how the imperial court will deal with Han Cunbao and Yang Wen after this fiasco fell into the hands of Xiao Tang again, but after being released, they also decided to accept it calmly, even if they were stripped of their official bodies, they could not be humiliated.
However, now that Gao Yu has already been ambushed, even if Han Cunbao and Yang Wen must be punished for defeat, but now that Gao Yu is dead, the war against the rebels led by Xiao Tang will no longer be tampered with and falsely reported, but will be reported to the imperial court in its original form. But anyone who knows some military affairs can also see that the reason why the anti-thief Xiao Tang soldiers and horses are not effective, and the conquest army is killed and defeated one after another, is completely because of the incompetence of the old thief Gao Yu in commanding the army. Now that he, the third lieutenant, has lost his life, it is no longer possible to strengthen the responsibility for defeat on other generals, and he will no longer be framed by a traitor, and his life will not be guaranteed.
And because Gao Yu's death can avoid the scourge of killing, it is not only Han Cunbao and Yang Wen.
"Looking at the meaning of the imperial court, it seems that because of the strong admonition of Jeju Zhang Shuye and the court's Su Yuanjing, Song Jiang and the remnants of the army under his command were defeated, and they should not be responsible for the loss of the defeated army and fall from the ......"
"But if it is really as it is heard, the official family still intends to teach Song Jiang to lead the remaining soldiers and horses to be transferred to Jiangnan, as a partial division all the way to assist Tong Guanna's conquest and suppression of the Manichaean people in Jiangnan, most of them will not be able to get the official and military response, and lead the defeated army to conquer the soldiers and horses of Fang Lasuo, who are still resisting, I am afraid that they will still die for life, I am afraid that many leaders who still follow Song Jiang will still have their lives in Jiangnan... As for whether Song Jiang can win some military exploits and be tolerated by the imperial court, it is still unknown......"
In the main room on the east side of the Juyi Hall, Xiao Tang, Xu Guanzhong, Yan Qing and other brothers were expressing their opinions after hearing that they had gone to Bianjing to receive the leaders of the Zhongjiedu family, and heard the rumors about how the imperial court would deal with Song Jiang and others.
In fact, Song Jiang still had to resist when Xiao Tang led the Zhulu rebel army far more powerful than his soldiers and horses, and he was indeed loyal to the court. Moreover, Song Jiang was killed and defeated, and it was indeed because Gao Yu deliberately taught him to wear out Xiao Tang's soldiers and horses as much as possible, and he completely ignored the life and death of those strong men who were recruited by the imperial court, and was finally broken by Xiao Tang, and he was also killed by the group of heroes.
Song Jiang also acted in accordance with the commander's orders from beginning to end, and Zhang Shuye, who roughly knew what had happened, naturally did his best to exonerate Song Jiang. And the green forest soldiers and horses under the command of Song Jiang are just mud legs that can be used in the eyes of the powerful traitors in the DPRK and China, and naturally they can't enter Cai Jing's eyes at all; Tong Guan was busy leading the elite of the Western Army to exterminate the Manichaeans in Jiangnan, how could he have the energy to care about how to deal with a recruited grass leader; Now Xiao Tang's threat to the imperial court is also far greater than Song Jiang in the original book, and Yang Jian, who is also one of the chief evils of persecuting everyone in Liangshan in the book, naturally does not regard the disgraced Song Jiang as a disaster.
Xiao Tang sighed again in his heart, and said that when Song Jiang led more than 100 Liangshan leaders to conquer Fang La, he still lost most of them, and now he only attracted the crippled soldiers and horses under his command, if he really wanted to listen to the imperial court's order to conquer the Jiangnan Manichaeism, how many people could survive?
