Chapter 167: Let's talk about it when it's over

Lin Chong smiled, after a short period of contact, Lin Chong had already decided that Tang Bin was a good man with high righteousness, and such a person would never harm his brother.

Since he sent a letter to Guan Sheng and Hao Siwen, asking them to give up their official positions in the imperial court and go to Liangshan to gather together, this shows that Tang Bin has already recognized the rebellion of the Liangshan army in his heart.

But think about it, Zhao Ji and Cai Jing, Zhu Mian, (the great eunuch) Yang Jian are so rampant, the traitors in the court are in charge, the people outside the court are miserable, and bandits are everywhere.

As long as they are not fools and blind, who will not see the dark decay of the Zhao and Song courts?

Of course, it does not mean that the court is dark, and the rebellion of the people is justice. For example, in the "Yellow Turban Uprising" at the end of the Han Dynasty, the peasant army looted and killed people everywhere (indiscriminately killing innocents was often no different from bandits and robbers), and in this way, countless displaced people were coerced to join the ranks of the rebel army, causing chaos in the world.

Later, such as the anti-Wang Zhu Cang at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the "Huangchao Uprising" at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the court was unreasonable and encountered a great famine, so the hungry people were instigated by careerists to bewitch and riot, and then they used the same method.

It is to burn, kill, loot and run around, turning more people into displaced people, eating up the local grain, and then these displaced people can only follow them to the next place in order to survive, and the number of the so-called "rebel army" is getting bigger and bigger, and the momentum is getting bigger and bigger.

However, if you really look into it, most of these so-called "peasant uprisings" actually have no justice (not that it is wrong for the peasants to be oppressed to starve to death and rebel, but that it is wrong for them to be coerced by careerists or robbers to kill other people), so no matter how good the textbooks of later generations say, in the eyes of the people at that time, these "rebel armies" were regarded as mobs or thieves.

But the Liangshan Army is different, the military discipline is strict and does not disturb the people, and it is also the master of the house for the poorest people, doing the right thing for heaven and supporting justice; And the most important thing is that he still has to fight the horses, once the Jurchen invades the south, he will be the first to block the front of the Jurchen Hu cavalry.

Therefore, a few days after joining the Liangshan Army, especially after listening to a few lectures preached by the instructor Zhao in the evening, Tang Bin immediately had a very strong identification with the Liangshan Army in his heart, and he also had a strong sense of honor - he was the one who wanted to follow the army master's brother to save the world.

Therefore, when he found the direction of his life, he immediately sent a letter to his henchmen who originally hugged Qianshan, and sent a letter to Guan Sheng and Hao Siwen to pull the two to come to gather for righteousness.

He also told General Lu about this, and later General Lu also told Lin Chong, but Lin Chong didn't have much hope at that time.

At this time, hearing Tang Bin talk about it, Lin Chong also smiled and said: "Brother Tang Bin, with your understanding of Guan Sheng and Hao Siwen, do you think that even if there is no such thing, will they come after receiving your letter?" ”

Tang Bin wrinkled his brows and thought for a while, but finally sighed and said: "My second brother Jing Mu Qian Hao Siwen is okay to say, but the eldest brother Dadao Guan Sheng is a stubborn person, and the nine cows can't pull back the things he decides."

In the past, when we were in Pudong, we didn't talk about the way of the world, and Brother Guan often said that the traitors of the court were in charge and oppressed the people too much, and said that corrupt officials and corrupt officials were rampant in the local area, and the world was corrupt......

But in the end, Brother Guan just sighed, and still hoped that Zhao Ji's faint monarch could be close to the virtuous ministers and far villains, and he could revive the dynasty! The younger brother thought that Brother Guan should not have given up on the court, and probably would not come. ”

Wang Feiyu pouted on the side and said: "Big brother is a dead brain, this Zhao Song court can be said to be dark and rotten from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside." As Master Lu said, just like his straight dye is made into soap, how can it be clean?

In such a court, the eldest brother still thought that Zhao Ji's faint monarch could revive the dynasty! I'm so! ”

Lin Chong smiled, looked at Tang Bin and said, "So, brother, you also said that if there was no attack by the two armies of the imperial court, Brother Guan Sheng probably wouldn't come, I thought it would definitely not come."

But this time the imperial court recruited him to lead troops to conquer my Liangshan, as long as he comes, we can leave him behind, as long as his conquest army is defeated, and then the Guan Sheng brothers are captured, then he still wants to be loyal to the Zhao and Song courts, and it is difficult to run to a family, and it is difficult to vote for a country. ”

Wang Feiyu's idea was simple, and he was immediately happy when he heard it, Tang Bin thought a lot, thinking of the original righteous brothers, but now they want to meet each other, and he didn't feel good in his heart.

Lin Chong saw his thoughts, patted his shoulder and said, "Don't think about it, if Guan Sheng comes, I won't let you soldiers meet each other, and then you will go to snoring Yanzhuo's soldiers and horses." ”

Tang Bin nodded, there is no need to meet Guan Sheng on the battlefield, it is somewhat more comfortable for him, Lin Chong saw that his face was a little pale, and he comforted him a few words, so he didn't say more, some things, it's useless to say it, and when the matter passes, everything will be fine.

In fact, Lin Chong's thoughts about Guan Sheng and Hu Yanzhuo, the two generals, were not the same.

Speaking of which, both of them are talents, Guan Sheng's character, reputation, and prestige are all excellent, if he can join the Liangshan Army, it will naturally have great benefits.

Just like the reason why Song Jiang's Liang Shan wanted to trick Lu Junyi into joining, although the biggest role was to crack the need for Chao Gai's will, but it was also inevitable that there was no reason to gild Liang Shan with the help of Lu Junyi's reputation.

You see, even the Hebei Jade Qilin has joined my Liangshan, and you see that even the righteous and brave Dadao Guan Sheng has also joined the Liangshan Army, and so on.

And Guan Sheng's military ability is also super strong, not to mention martial arts, the original Liangshan Army is at least the top three is no problem.

But what Lin Chong valued more was Guan Sheng's strategic vision, which can be seen from Guan Sheng's proposal to take Liangshanbo, use the method of encircling Wei to save Zhao, and not save the Daimyo's Mansion but go to Liangshanbo to relieve the siege of the Daimyo's Mansion.

Guan Sheng: This is a handsome talent.

Compared with Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo's ability is more manifested in generals.

As the commander of the only ironclad heavy cavalry in the Gyeonggi region of the Northern Song Dynasty, Hu Yanzhuo's training ability and command of troops can be called first-class, and his 3,000 ironclad chain horses have also killed the Liangshan army in the original trajectory to lose their armor and lose a big defeat.

Although Hu Yan was defeated by Liang Shan's hook and sickle in the end, his ability to train these three thousand iron-armored chain horses proved his ability.

And after that, Hu Yanzhuo came to Qingzhou, Qingzhou with him and Qingzhou without him are completely different, and he immediately killed the three bandits in Qingzhou.

Therefore, Lin Chong felt that in terms of the ability to lead troops to fight, in the original trajectory, Hu Yanzhuo was actually the first among the five tiger generals, stronger than Guan Sheng and the original Lin Chong.

For example, Guan Sheng, who commanded 5,000 soldiers and horses on the spot, couldn't defeat 1,000 elite infantry of the two generals of water and fire; And the original Lin Chong, most of the time, did not appear as a commander, but as a fighting general.

Therefore, for the current Liangshan Army, Guan Sheng and Hu Yanzhuo can be regarded as rare talents.

But if the two of them go up the mountain, they are both demoted generals, and they are probably unwilling to rebel with them and not have the same heart with themselves.
