Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Choice of Life and Death
"Send you a thousand miles, and there will be a farewell. The brothers have a bright future, but each has his own way. In order not to cause trouble to your brothers in the future, my teacher and I will definitely go into hiding. Yan Qing pen. This farewell letter was read out, and Yan Qing deserved to be an understanding person. What Song Jiang did to Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen did not escape his eyes. In order to protect Mingzhe, he fled with Master Li overnight and left this letter.
"Big brother, Yan Qing This is also a clear choice. He was afraid that it would be difficult for us to do it, but he made a choice, and we as brothers could only bless them. Wu comforted Song Jiang in public, which was originally one of the problems they faced in Zhao'an. Now that Yan Qing is gone, he has solved this big problem, and Song Jiang and Wu Yong are singing double reeds in front of everyone, singing and harmonizing.
"Since Brother Yan Qing is like this, then everyone should not live up to his wishes. When I communicate with that high captain, it is better for everyone to have a certain official and a half-position in the future than to be a robber and bandit here. ”
"It's all up to Big Brother." When everyone heard this, they hurriedly came to their senses, after all, they were officials in the Northern Song Dynasty, and this was a transformation, and they instantly glorified their ancestors. All of you here, which one does not want to.
Three days later, under Liangshan. Gao's camp, the recruitment ceremony officially began.
"Good, good, good. Don't be impatient, since you have chosen to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. Then my Gao father and son are also very happy, after all, they can reduce the number of swords and soldiers, and I will do light work for you to the official family. Seeing that Liang Shan's difficult bone was finally over, Gao Yu, as the supreme military commander, also wiped a handful of sweat. opened his mouth to appease these good men and bandits who had disarmed the sword soldiers.
As for the official position, Gao Yu has already reported the list to Song Weizong. As for the thief who made a big fuss in Tokyo and the felony who abducted Master Li, he also found someone to replace him, and finally ended up with a sentence of death on the battlefield.
The current Northern Song Dynasty can be said to have fallen into a period of war and chaos, and in order to persuade Song Weizong, Gao Yu put forward the idea of letting Song Jiang and others make meritorious contributions. Of course, it can't help but exaggerate the majesty of the forbidden army of the imperial court, and how his father and son surrendered without a fight. Of course, Gao Yu himself is already a very popular minister, and the focus is on Gao Shide.
At this time, the Jurchen Jin State came to persuade Song Weizong to go north to attack Liao and conspire with Youyun. Song Weizong, who was dealing with the surrounding civil strife, had not made up his mind for a while, and at first he wanted Tong Guan, who had been defeated and defeated not long ago, to lead the Northwest Army to make meritorious contributions. Now that there is a wave of people from Liangshan, it can make the imperial court suffer losses one after another, and the combat effectiveness can be imagined. Although Song Weizong is corrupt, he is not stupid, and the current situation is turbulent, so he is just a good move to drive away the wolf.
And Tong Guan and Gao Shide have a feud, and now the other party is sneering, where is the comfort in his heart. Moreover, according to the current situation, it seems that the matter of conquest of Liao is to pick up credit. How could Gao Shide get such a bargain.
So he wrote to Song Weizong, "Your Majesty's current urgency, you must first settle down inside." Due to the uninterrupted war in the south of the Yangtze River, Suhu grain could not go north. In many areas in the north, there is a gradual shortage of grain and rice is expensive. He also took office in Pingjiang Mansion, and also repelled the Fang La thief army to protect the territory and the people. Now with the help of this Liangshan, wouldn't it be like a tiger with wings. It is the best candidate to go south to encircle and suppress Fang La, as for the war in the north. Weichen has only commanded the Northwest Army for many years, and he is willing to sacrifice his blood for my Great Song Dynasty. Comfort me to the sages of the Great Song Dynasty against Liao. Tong Guan's words were righteous.
"Since this is very good, I am very relieved. The herald ordered Gao Shide to be the right envoy of the party, and Song Jiangwu and others to be its pioneers. Send 20,000 troops south to attack the thieves. "Song Weizong's holy decree changed too much of the fate in the future.
According to the original work, Song Jiang and others should first conquer Liaokou and then fight Fangla.
But now, because of Tong Guan's selfishness, he asked them to go south directly to fight against Fang La.
"There will be a farewell for you for a thousand miles, Dad, take care of your old man, if there is a crisis in the future, you can open this bag to take a look. This is a chess piece that I used to lay in the city of Tokyo, and I will remember to destroy it after watching it. At the time of parting, Gao Shide pulled Gao Yu to the secret room, and mysteriously took out his bag and said.
"Good boy, you're even playing tricks with me now. Since you have a heart, then I will accept it. There are no eyes on the battlefield, you take care. Return to Beijing triumphantly as soon as possible, you don't know that stinky boy is almost taller than me now. If you don't come back, he won't remember that you're his father. ”
Gao Yu said with a smile.
The two fathers and sons parted this time, but it was ten years later when they said goodbye.
As for the final fate of Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen, Gao Shide did not embarrass a disabled person anymore. Even if they are now prisoners of the ranks, at their mercy. Gao Shide still let them go in front of everyone in Liangshan.
"Lin Chong, do you remember me? Presumably, even if I turn to ashes, you will recognize the hatred in your heart. Back in the day, I was young and ignorant. Caused your family to be ruined, but after many years. Now I am no longer the Ya Nei who did all the evil at the beginning, and I am ashamed of you. Now I know that I can't make up for it, and now there is a sea ship that is traveling far away. For yourself, for the present. I'm very unrealistic and hope that you will forget the past and go overseas and start over. Someone came to loosen the bindings for the two bits. Gao Shide led the people to the horse's head, where the two carriages stopped. Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen, who were tied up by five flowers, were let go, and Gao Shide announced to them in public that they should go.
"I'm going to fight with you." As soon as he untied the rope, Lin Chong was not afraid of death and wanted to rush towards Gao Shide.
However, he was hugged by Lu Zhishen, who was quick and quick-eyed, from behind.
"Brother, calm down. Calm down. "Although Lu Zhishen is rude, he is coarse and fine. Hearing what Gao Shide meant, it was to let them not come back.
Looking at the complicated expressions of the people next to them, among them, Wu Song and Sun Yi were ready to suddenly rescue people. One by one, they held the hilt of the knife and waited for it.
Gao Shide did not dare to slack off at all, and opened his mouth to persuade: "Life is short, and the past is hard." I promised her that he wouldn't hurt you, and that you would be proud of him in the future. ”
"Who is he? Who is she? Lin Chong looked at the former brothers present, Song Jiang's face remained unchanged, but Wu Yong's face was a frown. All of them are in different shapes, all of which are official robes. Of course, Wu Song and others grabbed the handle of the knife and the Qingjing burst out, and Sun Yi's ghost-headed knife suddenly came out of the sheath. None of this escaped Lin Chong's gaze.
"That's it. Since Gao Yanei is so decisive today, and the brothers also have a good future, I, Lin Chong, don't have to be this great villain anymore. After saying that, he turned around and tried to jump off the dock, and he died.
