Chapter 399: Zhao'an Song Gongming

Yan Shun was very emotional. It seemed that I saw Song Gongming's face full of pain again. He dared to pack a ticket in his heart, Song Jiang was towards the Great Song Dynasty.

On the same day, after denunciating the Chen family father and son outside Yangzhou, Yan Shun served for the Yangzhou Song Army, and with his ability to denounce and his skills, he emerged in a series of battles, and he also served as a commander under Lu Yirou. But he did not forget Song Jiang, and he did not forget the painful appearance when Song Jiang decided to surrender to the Liangshan army.

Song Jiang was really 'forced to go to Liangshan' that day. I really couldn't turn over after being pitted by Wang Shizhong.

"Brother Gongming's sins are all imposed by that royal teacher! All he thinks about is Da Song. Yan Shun knelt on the ground, and didn't see that Lu Yirou, the pacification envoy of Huainan East Road and the prefect of Yangzhou, had already flashed in his eyes.

He was worried about the current situation, and he didn't want this Yan Shun to be able to do this for him. Although this guy is annoying, in the official army, he actually shouted that a rebel thief should be a brother, and the real thief is difficult to change. But if Song Jiang can really be surrendered and asked to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, the situation in Huainan will be reversed.

Lu Yirou couldn't help but smile, stood up, paced back and forth, his mind fluctuating.

The day before yesterday, although the Liangshan army stopped at Gaoyou, the situation in Yangzhou was still dangerous. Chen Guan and his gang in Taizhou, with the help of Yang Zhizhi, have regained momentum, and now they have seized the entire Tongzhou-Nantong, and they have gone to the sea in Jiangbei. It can be said that the huge Huainan East Road, which can still be controlled by the Song family, is only Yangzhou and Zhenzhou [later Liuhe].

What's worse is that the Manichaean rebel army on the other side of the Yangtze River is also fierce, following the breaking of Suzhou, and then under Changzhou and Runzhou, and the front has forced into Jinling. The latter is the first county in the south, and its status is much more important than Yangzhou. Liu Menglong's troops are now unable to take care of the north bank of the river, and the war in the south of the Yangtze River alone has made him anxious.

However, although the imperial court officials and troops won successive victories in Huaixi, there was still some time before Wang Qing was completely pacified. It is even more far away from the army coming out to aid Huainan Jiangnan.

Whether Lu Yirou is out of public heart or selfishness, he must stick to Yangzhou until the imperial army marches to the south of the Yangtze River after Wang Qing.

He didn't think that the Western Army would go straight to Qilu after destroying Wang Qing and Tian Hu.

It's not that he is very confident, nor is it that he knows Zhao Ji's temperament well, but that he thinks it's not a wise move to go straight to Liangshan. I deeply understand the importance of the two cities of Yangzhou and Jinling. As long as these two cities are still in the hands of the imperial court, it is like a mountain between the Liangshan army and the Fangla army.

The importance of Jinling City needs not be overstated, everyone knows what this city means to the southern country. The dragon's argument is ridiculous, but its political influence is unquestionable.

And what about Yangzhou City? It is the node of the north-south integration of the canal. Only from the practical sense, the Song dynasty held Yangzhou in its hands, and the negative impact on the Liangshan army and the Fangla army was even greater than that of Jinling.

- Yangzhou is not allowed, and the Liangshan army and the Fangla army cannot be directly connected to the canal.

But it is precisely because of this that Lu Yirou will feel anxious about the future. How could a thief not see what he could think of?

Lu Yirou has the intention of strengthening Yangzhou's military strength, but what about money and food? Huainan East Road is not Jiangnan East Road, not Liangzhejiang Road. Even though Yangzhou City is very prosperous, compared to this fight, their wealth is also stretched.

And when Gao Yu raised troops to recruit Liangshanbo, Yang Wen and Xiang Yuanzhen came from Huainan all the way, and the soldiers and horses passed through Huainan all the way, not to mention that the Jinling Water Division went north twice, which consumed a lot of wealth on Huainan East Road, and now the money and food in Lu Yirou's hands are really not abundant.

"Yan Shun." Lu Yirou made up her mind.

"The villain is here."

"The matter of appeasing Song Gongming is very important, and if he can return to the imperial court, he will have great achievements in today's situation. If you can promote this matter, it will be a great contribution to the national community. I will reward you with great praise. Lu Yirou got up and walked to a large map of the land, and pressed her palms against the places of Haozhou and Sizhou.

If this matter is successful, the Haozhou, Sizhou and other places where Song Jiangjun is entrenched can not only return to the imperial court, but also the pressure on the Huainan West Road can be suddenly reduced. In this way, I can receive money and food for the soldiers and horses, and Yangzhou is worry-free. And the place where Song Jiang is close to Xuzhou, its army can reach the key point of Xuzhou with a counterattack...... "and gently move the palm, and the entire Pengcheng will be covered by Lu Yirou's big hand.

Yan Shun wandered from Qingzhou to Yangzhou City, and he was no longer the bandit mountain king who had little knowledge back then. When he heard Xuzhou, he knew what Lu Yirou was referring to. The palm of his hand was not Pengcheng itself, the seat of Xuzhou, but the Liguo Prison in its northeast.

The latter is one of the final iron-producing areas in the north of the Yangtze River, and there are 36 rulers in Shenzong, and the smelters reach 3,000 or 4,000 people, which is very large. With the retreat of the government and the advancement of the people, the Li Guojian and the beginning of the political and political periods, the miners and blacksmiths are afraid that there will not be tens of thousands of people. Although after the Liangshan army broke through Xuzhou, the manpower there was scattered a lot, but now the Liangshan army re-operated the Tieshan there, and the people were reinvigorated.

The latter's prisoners of war in the tens of thousands. In these days, they were driven by the Liangshan army as coolies, repairing river embankments, repairing roads, and restoring Laiwu and Liguojian. And then there's the so-called gold and silver division.

The Liangshan thieves set up a gold and silver division in the northeast of Laizhou, and sent tens of thousands of prisoners of war and thousands of locals to excavate gold and silver.

It is said that windmills, water-powered materials, and large blast furnaces were newly introduced, making steel production even more abundant than in the past. For the Liangshan rebel army, it has continuously provided refined iron and steelmaking.

Song Jiang counterattacked, even if he couldn't really destroy Li Guojian and couldn't hurt Liang Shanbo's muscles and bones, Yang Zhi would be frightened and told him to raise troops and turn around, and the pressure on Yangzhou would be greatly reduced. If so, Song Jiang has also made a great contribution.

"Such a feat, all in his thoughts." Lu Yirou looked at Yan Shun with serious eyes. The latter naturally knew what it meant, and hurriedly bowed his head and said, "The villain understands, the villain understands." Brother Gongming will be called to relieve the worries of adults. ”

"You go and inform Song Gongming, if he is willing to return to the imperial court, this official will protect him as a state defense envoy." Lu Yirou was very happy, and the official position she gave was also generous. The position of the state's defense envoy is not insignificant. It's a small military district boss.

Lu Yirou said again: "Today, the imperial court army has frequently reported good news from the north and south, and the two thieves Wang Qing and Tian Hu will be cut off in a few days. At that time, the army will converge in one place and insert into the south of the Yangtze River, and Fang La will rest. In this way, only Liangshan thieves and gangs are left in the world, can they turn the tide around? ”

"You can not forget the old righteousness, and recommend Song Jiang at this moment, Song Jiang's position is very important, and the official can't help it, it's all God's will. Song Gongming's abandonment of the dark at this moment is really the best choice, and it is the most timely. Tell him not to make mistakes. ”

Lu Yirou is a capable minister, and his words are from far to near, from deep to shallow, which makes Yan Shun deeply convinced and very clear.

After all, this world is the world of the Great Song Dynasty. Song Jiang, if you don't take advantage of the current good time to wash your name and come ashore, when will you stay? Is it difficult to follow the Liangshan thieves all the way to the dark?

Nowadays, Huainan East and West Road are attached to you.

Your current position/status is important. Returning to the embrace of the imperial court, and Huainan Road, is a great thing for both sides. It can get them through. In this way, the country has made great contributions. But don't take it personally, miss the opportunity and never come back. Don't delay your future.

As for the final meaning of this passage, Lu Yirou showed her strength. Maybe it's inertia, or maybe it's the deep contempt for Song Jiang in his heart. How can a county official enter the eyes of a local official of the imperial court who was born as a scholar? Song Jiang wants to be appeased, and he can only be the main one. The master-slave status of the two cannot be messed up.

The gold-haired tiger didn't think anything was wrong.

In the Great Song Dynasty, civil officials vs. military attachΓ©s, and the government vs. grass officials, isn't that the case?

Lu Yirou's last words were a little harsh, and the previous words were also clear, and it was of great significance to appease Song Jiang. Song Jiang surrendered, which was a good thing to kill multiple birds with one stone.

"Yan Shun is a big man, dare to be a guarantor in front of the prime minister, Brother Gongming must be a thief temporarily, waiting for the court to recruit peace, be loyal and try his best to serve the country, dare not be greedy for money and kill, and do unkind and unrighteous things. His army went south for many days, how could the prime minister have ever heard of him killing the civil and military gentry? Today, I have to take pity on this true feeling, and I will serve the country with all my heart, and I will do my best to repay it. ”

Lu Yirou was also happy when she heard this.

"That's very good. The court has its own laws, so how can it be slow to treat loyal ministers. ”

In this way, Lu Yirou's heart seemed to have removed a big stone, and she waved her hand to tell Yan Shun to retreat, and she picked up the pen and played it by herself, and went to Luoyang.

Jin Maohu was also full of passion, thinking that Song Jiang would return to the imperial court again, as if he had found an organization. After returning to his residence, he packed up his bags, took a leave with Lu Yirou's life card and Shangfeng, selected more than a dozen strong soldiers from the army, bought brocade wine, changed into the outfit of a businessman, and went out of Yangzhou City with joy and went to Haozhou.

In this way, without Lu Qian noticing at all, a moth was born. And what choice Song Gongming made, this is not to be mentioned later.

It is only said that in Tokyo at this time, there is a sound of people neighing horses. Before the Liangshan army reached the city, the Tokyo Garrison Division was put into operation first.

Zhang San, who was in a restaurant, was holding a clairvoyant mirror on the roof of the building at the moment looking at the Tokyo city.

The once beautiful and prosperous city of Tokyo has now become much uglier, with barricades erected in the streets and alleys, and the walls of the shops that have long disappeared have been rebuilt, or at least the ravines have been excavated. At night, young and strong patrols are also organized, and those who do not have tokens will be arrested.

In the southeast of the outer city, the granaries at the East Water Gate [Bianhe River Entrance] were all emptied by Liu Tao.

The young men of Gribang also had to undergo drills, and the soldiers of the prefectures who fled back from Jeju Fortress were used as instructors. Now the shouting of killing is loud and loud. These "ugliness" are to add a touch of blood and courage that has been lost in more than a hundred years to this magnificent city.

It's a pity, "This Liu Taotian's great ability is useless." The young people in Tokyo have long been softened by the prosperity here, how can they fight? ”

In his eyes, the young and strong children in Tokyo are mud that can't support the wall. Compared with the Liangshan army, the white clouds and black soil are also.
