Wu Kui was packing up in the tent, and when he saw Song Ting suddenly breaking in, he persuaded him not to retreat, saying that he had a good plan to subdue Liangshan, so he immediately stopped tidying up, sent him back to the back tent, and asked him what his good plan was.

Song Ting thought about it for a while, and didn't dare to tell him the whole plan, only said his thoughts about "Zhao'an".

"Zhao'an?" After listening to Song Ting's words, Wu Kui shook his head resolutely, "In the past, I have recruited An many times, where are Song Jiang, Lu Junyi and others willing to accept it?" This time, our army was defeated, Liangshan won a big victory, and they would not accept Zhao'an. ”

Song Ting smiled slightly, and said: "The prefect doesn't know, I have heard that Song Jiangyuan is a priest in Yuncheng County, and he gathered Liangshan under the guise of 'doing the right thing for the sky', but in fact, he didn't really want to do the way for the sky, but tried to be a big official himself."

"Plotting to be an official?" Hearing him say this, Wu Kui's eyes were shining, and his eyes were full of doubt, "Since he wants to be an official, why does he want to occupy the mountain as the king, this is unreasonable." ”

Song Ting smiled faintly and said, "Then Song Jiang is a treacherous person, he is a typical refined self-interest, what is the way for heaven?" The four words "for the heavens" are just nice to say, what heaven is he for, what is the way? In fact, he just understands a very simple truth: the greater the capital in his hand, the more important the court will pay attention to him. Why did he refuse to accept Zhao'an? He was afraid that the court would blame him and not leave him alive, he was waiting for the Holy God to forgive him for serious crimes, and he obviously wished that the Holy God would personally recruit him! ”

After listening to Song Ting's words, Wu Kui stroked his beard and muttered, "You have some truth in that." Although he didn't understand what "exquisite self-interest" was, Song Ting's words were very plain and the meaning was very thorough.

Wu Kui seemed to think of a certain joint, and shook his head again: "But even if he Song Jiang is willing to accept Zhao'an, there are one hundred and eight leaders in Liangshan, but the other leaders may not accept Zhao'an, and if they stand on their own in addition to Song Jiang, I'm afraid it will be very tricky......

Song Ting said disapprerovingly: "My lord, you don't know anything again. As far as I know, among the one hundred and eight leaders of Liangshan, there are actually petty officials and petty officials like Song Jiang who account for the vast majority...... For example, Lu Junyi, who was born a wealthy man and was a foreigner, was framed by Song Jiang and Wu Yong with anti-poetry design, and let his subordinates occupy his wife and family property, so he earned him up the mountain; There are also Hu Yanzhuo, Yang Xiong, Guan Sheng, Qin Ming and others, who were originally court officers and devoted themselves to serving the country, what are they doing in the grass? ”

"In order for the court to pardon their crimes, in order to have the opportunity to serve the court again," Song Ting picked up the silver pot on the case, poured himself a cup, and took a sip before continuing: "In Liangshan, most of them were originally public people, they used to eat the court's fortune and live a comfortable life, who wants to stay in Liangshan all the time to live?" They are all people who have committed crimes, made mistakes, or offended important ministers in the court, waiting to be pardoned by the court, it seems that Song Jiang is using them to seek a future for himself, but in fact, they are one by one, why not use Song Jiang? Song Jiang is just the spokesperson for this group of people. ”

Wu Kui couldn't understand the three words "spokesperson", but he knew the intelligence of this master, and he only thought of it as a new word he boasted of, after listening to Song Ting's words, he thought for a while before patting him on the shoulder and said: "Chaozhong, what you said is too reasonable!" Let the old man suddenly open it! It turns out that these people really set up the archway as bitches, and they have long wanted to be recruited. ”

He picked up the silver pot, poured wine for Song Ting, and asked in a humble tone, "Then according to the meaning of the court...... What should the old man do next? If the old man goes to recruit An, they will also tie up the old man, but how can he be good? ”

Song Ting unceremoniously drank the wine poured by the prefect himself, waved his hand and said, "If the adults go to Zhao'an, of course they will tie up the adults."

Wu Kui was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "How did the old man recruit them?"

The atmosphere in the back tent froze for a moment, and Song Tingcai smiled treacherously: "Since Song Jiang wants the Holy Lord to recruit him in person, why don't you invite the Son of Heaven to come in person?"

"How can the old man please move the Son of Heaven!"

Wu Kui was stunned.

"Shh Song Ting made a silent gesture, glanced at him, signaled him not to be loud, be careful that someone outside the tent was eavesdropping, and when he saw that he was calm, he smiled faintly and said: "My lord, please don't move the Son of Heaven, do you still ask the Son of Heaven to not move the edict?"

Hearing Song Ting's words, Wu Kui's eyes jumped, and he was a little eager to try, if he held the edict of the Son of Heaven, it would be equivalent to the Son of Heaven coming in person, forgive him Song Jiang and the others would also bow their heads and be vassals.

Thinking of this, Wu Kui's face was happy, and he couldn't stop patting Song Ting's shoulder: "Okay!" Okay! The old man will play the court and invite the edict of the Son of Heaven! ”

After nodding slightly, Song Ting said again: "My lord, we should make two preparations, one hand is to ask for an edict, and the other hand is to continue to fight Liangshan, and only win and not lose, this is the real reason why I let my lord stay."

Wu Kui walked to the side of the case, paced two steps, frowned, and complained, "How can we win?" Liang Zhongshu's 60,000 horses were defeated, and I only had 10,000 horses...... How do you win? ”

"My lord, if you also retreat and don't fight Liangshan, wouldn't it be the same as Liang Zhongshu, without an inch. Without merit, I am afraid that there is no hope for promotion just by recruiting and surrendering...... Only by subduing Liangshan and then recruiting can you look wise and powerful! What kind of Liang Zhongshu generation, when you see adults in the future, don't you have to walk with your head down? Song Ting explained the pros and cons for him, lured him to the advantage, and said what he thought.

Liang Zhongshu and Wu Kui both belonged to Cai Jingmen, but one was the prefect of the Daimyo Mansion and the other was the prefect of Yangzhou Prefecture. The Daimyo Mansion is one of the four capitals of Daliang, known as "Beijing", and its status is almost the same as that of Bianliang in Tokyo. The high position of the prefect of the Daimyo Mansion is a fourth-grade official, while the prefect of Yangzhou is only a fifth-grade official. What's more, the Daimyo's Mansion is one of the four capitals, and the imperial court attaches great importance to it, although Yangzhou is an important town in the south of the Yangtze River, it is still far from it.

Wu Kui is naturally envious of Liang Zhongshu, and he is the son-in-law of the Taishi and the prefect of the Daimyo Mansion, who can not envy him? In addition to envy, it is inevitable that he will not be convinced, he Liang Zhongshu is a big mediocre talent, you see this time to fight Liangshan, as soon as he lost the battle, he ran away, ran back to the Daimyo's mansion, relying on the Taishi to support him, and he was stunned that there was no way to take him.

Hearing Song Ting say that he needed to win Liangshan and then recruit An, so that he could press Liang Zhongshu, Wu Kui was limited to a dilemma, sighed and said, "How can you fight?"

Previously, he also thought that it was a very simple matter to fight Liangshan, and as soon as the army arrived, he would be able to set foot on Liangshan. Who knew that everyone was careless and defeated in one day......

At this time, he just shook his head and sighed, but he heard Song Ting suddenly say: "My lord, I am willing to lead 3,000 troops and take down a few villages in Liangshan!"
