"Since childhood, I have studied history, and I have the power to plan when I grow up. Just like a tiger lying on a barren hill, lurking minions to endure. Unfortunately, the cheeks of the stabbing are worthy of being in Jiangzhou. If he has revenge, blood stains the mouth of the Xunyang River! The heart is in Shandong, the body is in Wu, and the river and the sea are screaming. If he succeeds in Ling Yunzhi, he dares to laugh at Huang Chao for not being a husband! ”

This poem was written by Song Jiang in Xunyang Building, but it was just a work to vent his unhappiness and use it to sing his mind, but some officials used this poem to hit Song Jiang. And, see him as a rebellious minister. Without doing anything, Song Jiang fulfilled the wishes of those people and simply went to Liangshan to gather people to revolt.

Song Jiang remembered the past and watched his brothers fight bloodily for themselves. Seeing that the general trend has gone and is irretrievable, Song Jiang's heart is extremely quiet. From the beginning of the uprising, it was smooth sailing, capturing several cities, the momentum was huge, and the land of Heshuo and Jingdong East Road were all defeated.

"That's it! That's it! Song Jiang sighed and said, "Brothers, don't make any more senseless sacrifices, stop it!" ”

Wu Yong said in a hurry: "Brother Gongming, don't do it!" ”

Song Jiang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Strategist, I understand what you mean." However, over the years, our Liangshan Army has been in full swing, and it has been in the limelight for a while, even if the Song Army sees the Liangshan Army, they have to flee in a hurry with their tails between their legs. Now feng shui takes turns, the tiger falls in Pingyang and is bullied by dogs, and we are defeated! ”

"The brothers gathered on Liangshan to revolt, and the water within a radius of 800 miles was our world, and we were in high spirits at that time. Seeing that there are traitors in the court, and now the saints do not care about the lives of the people, they pay a lot of taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the people are not able to make a living, so I can only gather people to revolt when I can't wait, just to give the people a better life. ”

"We have been fighting in all directions for several years, and we have fought with Song Jiang for hundreds of rounds, most of which are our victories, and the Song army has returned with a heavy defeat, and has taken several cities. Now that I think about it, I am afraid that the imperial court thinks that we are not enough to worry about, so they ignore it, so that we are very loud. The tree attracted the attention of the imperial court. ”

"Within a few days, we lost Qingzhou City one after another, and even Yizhou fell into the hands of the Song army. Qingzhou City is an opportunity, as long as Qingzhou City is breached, then other places will act immediately, we have no way to retreat, only surrender. ”

"The brothers are tired of resisting the Song army, more than half of the brothers died in the battle, and countless are seriously injured, how can they compete with the Song army? Is it really willing to let all the brothers die? I, Song Jiang, as the leader of Liangshan, should consider the safety of my brothers, and I can't just care about my own safety. ”

Desperate San Lang Shi Xiu and sick Guan Suo Yang Xiong said in unison: "Brother Gongming, don't surrender!" ”

Shi Xiu said excitedly: "Brother, all brothers are willing to follow my brother to live and die. Even if he died on the battlefield, he did not hesitate to believe that his brother's ability could lead the people to prosperity. If my brother surrenders today and submits to the imperial court, won't all our hard work over the past few days be in vain? ”

Yang Xiong continued: "We gathered people to revolt, held high the banner of righteousness, and never regretted it. Although we were all forced to go to Liangshan helplessly, we fell into the grass. All this is also caused by the traitors of the court, if we return to the court, won't we join them in the same stream and become a raccoon dog? ”

Wu Yong also persuaded: "Brother Gongming, what the two brothers said is very true. Even if you fail, what are you afraid of, it's a big deal to die, and you will be a good man again after eighteen years, it's all worth it. Since you hold high the banner of righteousness, you should not regret anything, even if you do not hesitate to die. ”

The three Ruan brothers also hurriedly dissuaded Song Jiang from abandoning his arms and surrendering, saying: "Brother, our three brothers went to Liangshan to fight with my brother and brothers, and fought with the Song army, and we were not afraid. Today, if my brother abandons his arms and surrenders and submits to the imperial court, I am afraid that the heroes of the world will laugh at us that Liangshan is not a hero, and we must not agree to surrender. ”

Other generals also dissuaded Song Jiang from returning to the imperial court, but Song Jiang had already made up his mind and strengthened his heart to return to the imperial court. At the beginning, they were Liangshan Shui Kou who could ignore everything else and only take care of themselves, and after obtaining several cities, Song Jiang had to start worrying about the future of his brothers.

If he takes care of himself and ignores the lives of his brothers, then he Song Jiang is not Song Jiang. Now, the Great Song army has all arrived, and the Liangshan army is no longer able to fight. Even if you have the heart to make a comeback, it is impossible to have so many troops, and a defeat dooms you to the end. As for how to spread his Song Jiang's reputation in the rivers and lakes, these are insignificant, and he only wants to follow his brothers to enjoy his old age in peace.

After several days of great battles, the combat effectiveness of the imperial army is obvious to all, these are just the tip of the iceberg of the Great Song army, if they are really all dispatched, Song Jiang knows that he is not an opponent, and he must think of other ways. So, Song Jiang began to seek a way out for his brothers.

At the beginning of the Songjiang Uprising, after several battles, he was defeated by a boy who was only twelve or thirteen years old. Song Jiang only had bitterness and helplessness in his heart, and he also felt very ironic, and remembered what he had said, and sighed helplessly, only to know that he was speaking wildly.

"Thirty-six when I went, eighteen pairs when I came back. Thousands of miles, talking and laughing but returning home. If there is one less person, he will not return to his hometown! Song Jiang muttered to himself, laughing at himself: "It's really ironic, it's really ridiculous, it's really self-righteous, I don't know how thick the sky is, everything is to blame, and I can't blame others." ”

"Brothers, you don't need to persuade me, I have made up my mind, and I have decided to accept Zhao'an and return to the imperial court!" Song Jiang said firmly, glanced at everyone with unquestionable eyes, then got off the war horse, walked in front of Zhang Shuye, and said in a straight voice: "General Zhang, if you want Song Jiang to surrender to the imperial court, it is not impossible, you only need to promise me a few conditions, rest assured that it will not embarrass you, it is all within your ability, I don't know what General Zhang wants?" ”

Uncle Zhang turned over and dismounted, and said, "I don't know what the leader wants, as long as I can do it, it will be my duty." As long as the leader accepts the court's recruitment, he will definitely not be implicated, you can rest assured. Besides, this time the boss is the son of the current saint, and he is also the envoy of the Privy Council of the Central Committee. ”

Song Jiang nodded and said, "With the general's words, then I, Song Jiang, can rest assured." ”

Zhang Shuye asked, "I don't know what the leader wants, but it's okay to say it!" ”

"Song Jiang was forced to go to Liangshan, and gathered people to revolt, and captured several cities in a few years, and there must be some ministers in the court who do not want Song Jiang to return to the imperial court, and they must be trying to execute me. But none of that matters! Song Jiang smiled indifferently and said, "They are all my Song Jiang's brothers who were born and died, it doesn't matter how Song Jiang is." As long as the general promises me, when I return to the court and accept the recruitment, they will be safe and sound. ”

Zhang Shuye solemnly promised: "Don't worry about this matter, I dare to guarantee with my head, these people will be fine, they are all the pillars of the Great Song Dynasty, if they serve the imperial court, they will definitely be reused by the imperial court, and all the previous crimes will never be blamed." Now that the emperor's decree has been issued, as long as the chief is willing to abandon his arms and surrender and return to the imperial court, everything he has done before can be blamed in the past, I wonder if the leader can be satisfied? ”

Song Jiang nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then I will believe you!" ”

Zhang Shuye continued: "The king of Guangping County is a person who cherishes talents, and knows how to make good use of people, even if the Song leader returns to the imperial court, there will be nothing if there are people in the court who oppose it. ”

"What crime Song Jiang committed, that is the clearest." Song Jiang smiled indifferently, "Confronting the imperial court, gathering people to launch a rebellion, and killing many Song soldiers, these are all crimes of rebellion, according to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, Song Jiang is an unforgivable person, even if the emperor intends to let Song go, those people will not easily bypass him, and he is already ready to die." ”

Uncle Zhang's words were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't speak for a long time, and he also knew what Song Jiang said. In addition to Cai Jing, there is also a high-ranking man, and there are even more crimes such as forming a party for personal gain, and taking bribes. However, Song Huizong never touched him in the slightest, trusted him in every way, and all the soldiers knew it, but they were helpless.

If Song Jiang and the others accept Zhao'an, it will be a new force, and if it is reused, it will inevitably cause a lot of trouble for Gao Yu. After all, most of the generals of the Liangshan Army have some enmity with Gao Yu. Therefore, Song Jiang also saw this matter very thoroughly, putting his life and death aside, as long as his brothers could enjoy it safely.

Song Jiang returned to his team and said in a loud voice: "Brothers, General Zhang has agreed to my request, and you will definitely not be held responsible. ”

Everyone lowered their heads in unison, the smile on their faces was a little bitter, and a little helpless, they put down their weapons in anger and prepared to surrender, and the helpless look of reluctance made all of them a little sad. At the same time, the saber on Song Jiang's waist did not put down, but instead pulled it out and slammed it towards his neck.

Wu Yong, Shi Xiu and the others were shocked, and shouted in unison: "Brother! ……”

It was only at this time that Uncle Zhang didn't know why Song Jiang wanted to say those words to him, just because he wanted to apologize with death and use his life to protect the safety of his brothers, and this righteousness made him admire. However, he couldn't help but yell: "Chief, no! ……”

After Song Jiang confessed everything, his wish had come true, and he was finally relieved, and he decided to replace the sins committed by his brothers with his own death and bear it with all his might. At this time, the breeze came slowly, blowing the reeds and grass around him, there was a shout all around, and the anxious looks of everyone, Song Jiang glanced at everyone without returning, showing a relieved smile, if he was given another chance, he was still willing to get together with these brothers again, slowly closed his eyes, two lines of clear tears flowed down, dripping down his cheeks and falling to the ground, and the sword in his hand slammed towards his neck.
