The middle-aged man is the legendary Song Jiang Song Gongming, the banner of the Liangshan uprising was raised by him, and he also launched it when he traveled around and commanded the battle, he is the leader of this Liangshan army, and the soul of this Liangshan army, and it is also the demon that the officers and soldiers are afraid of. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

And the one in front of him is his deputy and his brother, whose surname is Wu Mingyong, and the word Jialiang is good.

The conversation between the two shows that Song Jiang's mood is not calm. As he put it, "The situation is very serious, and if we don't think about a way out, we will have nowhere to stay."

There is no place to live, it is okay for a day or two, even a year or two, but no matter how long it is, it is difficult to say.

Don't look at where they go, the officers and soldiers everywhere regard them as tigers, leopards and jackals, but Song Jiang knows that this is not the case, those officers and soldiers who have escaped are just local troops with no combat effectiveness, if the imperial court sends elites, they still have no power to parry.

Therefore, his tactics were very cautious, he was afraid of provoking the imperial court and attracting a powerful forbidden army, so he only wandered around the periphery and never operated in those sensitive areas, and he neither occupied the state capital, nor stayed in one place for a long time, the purpose was to make the government despise him and despise him, but there was nothing to do about him.

It's just that no matter how good his tactics are, he can't play a decisive factor, because strategically he has already lost.

We can't stay like this forever, and if we continue like this, we will perish. This is the conclusion that Song Jiang has reached, and it is also something he has been suffering from.

In the entire Great Song Kingdom, there are really not many places to stand.

To the north, you will reach the Song-Liao border, where not only the people are poor, but also have more garrisons, and it is not a treasure land of feng shui.

To the west, we reached the Song-Xia border, and the problem was not much different from the Song-Liao border, and even worse than the living environment here, because the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty was the strongest in combat.

Let's not talk about the hinterland of the Central Plains, that is the foundation of the imperial court, and Song Jiang and the others can't move it with him.

At present, there is only one way out for him, and that is to the south.

The south was far away from the imperial court, and it was a rich land, and the people were deeply affected by Huashigang and hated the imperial court, which provided convenient conditions for the uprising and rebellion.

There is a more favorable condition for choosing the south, that is, it can be attacked and retreated. Establish a reliable base area, step by step, and confront the imperial court, even if you are defeated, you can flee to the southwest, and if you can't do it, it is also a good choice to flee to Hainan, Jiaozhi and Dali.

However, he has been hesitating, this hesitation is not because he can't kill the south, but because there is a person in the south who he didn't expect and has the most headache, that is, Fang La.

To say that he can't believe Fang La, there must be, but this is not the main reason, the main reason is that Fang La is making too much trouble, attacking from all sides, attacking the state and plundering the county, it seems to be unstoppable, but in fact it is a paper tiger, and it can't make trouble for a few days.

Why? Because Song Jiang first saw that Fang La's uprising did not have a clear program, his uprising was purely to use the psychology of the people to seek personal interests for himself.

At the beginning of the uprising, Fang La proclaimed himself the Holy Father, built the Yuan Yongle, set up officials and generals, and distinguished the rank by the turban. Unable to rally the masses, he instigated each other with the secret and unpredictable things of the ghosts and gods, burning houses, plundering gold and silk, robbing children, and luring good people to join the rebel army.

Because the people were content with peace, did not know the military revolution, and listened to orders when they heard the sound of the golden drum, tens of thousands of people were coerced to join in a few days.

Such an insurrectionary army is nothing more than a rabble, what combat effectiveness can it have? What is the future?

In addition, Fang Lajun's army was very cruel, and whenever they caught the officials of the imperial court, they would cut off their flesh, cut off their bodies, take their lungs and intestines, or boil them into anointing oil, or pierce them with arrows, torture the prisoners in various ways, and repay the blood debt, so as to relieve the hatred in their hearts.

This kind of cruel practice is not the work of a person who has achieved great things, but also a criticized behavior, which Song Jiang does not approve.

Also, Fang La's heart is small-minded and suspicious by nature, he uses the Fang family, outsiders can't easily occupy important positions, Song Jiang can imagine that once he defects to Fang La's hands, the end will definitely not be much better.

It's just that things are forced to this point, and Song Jiang really can't think of anywhere else to go. Staying is a dead end, and sooner or later he will be caught by the officers and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty. Although the prospect of leaving is not optimistic, after all, there is still a glimmer of hope, that is, if you don't plan for yourself, for the sake of your brothers, you should also transfer immediately.

For this reason, Song Jiang decided to make a strategic shift and lead his troops to the south.

Of course, Song Jiang didn't think about going to Fang La, according to Fang La's way of pretending to be a ghost, he was really not interested, he was thinking about cooperating with Fang La, and the two would work together to fight against the Song army, and each would establish a stable territory, so that a three-legged situation could be formed, so that he might have his own world.

Maybe the result may not be to his liking, and the combined forces of the two families may not be able to defeat the Song soldiers, but at that time, he Song Jiang is not afraid, under the chaos of the war, he can use this mobile force to go to the southwest, and it will be no obstacle to save his life at that time.

Since you want to cooperate, you must have sincerity, and Song Jiang certainly understands that his sincerity is to show the greatest advantage.

Where is his advantage, no one knows himself better than him, Song Jiang naturally knows that his biggest advantage is his strong combat ability, especially mobile combat, whether it is Fang La or Song Bing, it is not comparable, what he can use, what makes Fang La impressed, is also this.

Since he was going to raid south, he naturally wanted to confuse the imperial court, and even severely suppressed the officers and soldiers in it, and since he made up his mind, Song Jiang was preparing for the southward movement of the strategic center.

It can be said that his first step was wonderful, and this step was very crucial, making a good start for the overall strategic situation of the three-step process.

After attacking Liaocheng, feinting to attack the Daimyo's Mansion, and transferring all the surrounding officers and soldiers there, Song Jiang's first strategic intention had been achieved, and he led people to quickly rush to Guhe Town, which is the junction of the three states, and has the advantage of the Yellow River, so he decided to attack Qizhou from here.

Song Jiang's idea is very simple, after entering Qizhou, look at Qizhou's reaction, if they ignore it, he will enter Yun, Ji, Xu from the west side of Mount Tai, and then go straight down Huainan Road, this road is easy to walk, but there are more waters, and it is very tolerant of being surrounded and suppressed.

The other is from Qizhou, through Zi, Qing, into Yizhou, and then through Xuzhou Huainan Road. This road has to pass through the Yimeng Mountains, although the road is difficult to walk, but it is very safe, the only deficiency is that the Yizhou City is located very critical, it is located between the two mountains, it cannot be bypassed from outside the city, and it must be knocked down if you want to pass.

Song Jiang didn't think about fighting Yizhou City, the terrain there is steep, and it is really hard to fight, and the casualties are estimated to be small, so he will not do such a thankless thing.

However, Song Jiang is not without a way, he wants to pass without fighting, his method is to borrow the way.
