Deng Long and Chai Jin high-fived each other as an oath, the two looked at each other and laughed, especially conspicuous in the busy crowd, Liu Tang said happily to Gongsun Sheng on the side: "This time my brother came to Cangzhou, he really made a lot of money, with 200,000 yuan of things, in exchange for weapons and armor worth millions of habits, the cottage is really going to turn over!" ”

Gongsun Sheng was pondering. Xindao: I don't understand! What is Deng Long worthy of Chai Jin to make such a big bet, he still can't see what Deng Long has to offer, what is Chai Jin going to do?

After completing the oath, Deng Long sighed and said: "Now although I have a large number of soldiers in Liangshan, I just lack senior craftsmen to create weapons and armor, and I can only use a few blacksmiths in the countryside to make a few pig-killing knives. ”

Chai Jin rolled his eyes, and said in his heart: Isn't it just knocking on my bamboo pole, to put it bluntly, I gave millions of habitual things, and I don't care about giving them to some craftsmen, Chai Jin said with a smile: "Brother Deng, don't worry, the craftsmen here are all loyal servants of the Chai family for generations, I will take out three hundred people to help Brother Deng." ”

Deng Long pretended to hesitate and said, "This is not good. ”

Chai Jin: "............." ”

Deng Long and Chai Jin finalized the number of craftsmen to go to Liangshan, and then returned to Liangshan with Liu Tang and Gongsun Sheng, and convened everyone to gather in the righteous hall. said the harvest of going to Cangzhou this time, and everyone was very happy.

"I went to Cangzhou this time to harvest a lot of money, there are too many things given by Chai Daguan, and the three of us can't bring them back, so someone has to escort them, where are Yang Zhi and Huang An?"

"Yes."

Deng Long said in a deep voice: "The two of you led two hundred men and horses to Cangzhou to escort weapons and armor, and those craftsmen are the top priority, and there is no room for the slightest difference on the road." ”

The two responded: "Brother, don't worry, let's go." The two of them went down to order all the people and horses, and rushed to Cangzhou.

After arranging the affairs of Cangzhou, Deng Long looked at Zhu Gui with burning eyes and said, "What you said in the letter is true. ”

"There's nothing wrong with it, this is the paperwork I got, brother, please look at it."

Deng Longzai carefully read the letter, especially the signature at the end of the book, and read it three times, and after confirming it, he said ecstatically: "Yes, it is this person, God really helps me." ”

Wu Yong said disapplausively: "Isn't it just a general judgment in Dengzhou, why is my brother so excited?" ”

Deng Long seemed to have forgotten something all along, and it wasn't until Ye Chun said Dengzhou that Deng Long remembered that the future pillar of the Great Song Dynasty happened to be in Dengzhou at this time.

Zong Ze was originally born in Jinshi, both civil and military, erudite and knowledgeable, but from a poor background, no backer, did a lifetime of seven county orders, because of the official integrity, do not cut the boss, until the age of fifty-five, only to be promoted to do the six products of Dengzhou general judgment, during the term of office, punish corrupt officials, remove bullies, Dengzhou officials are clear, the people live and work in peace and contentment.

Zong Ze is over 60 years old this year, and he deeply feels that he has difficulty doing anything about the corruption of the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, and in frustration, he wrote to the court to tell the old man and return to his hometown.

In the original trajectory, Zong Ze resigned and returned to his hometown of Dongyang County, Zhejiang. Because Zong Ze offended a lot of people when he was in Dengzhou, after Zong Ze stepped down, he jumped out to frame Zong Ze for slandering Taoism, and was sent to Zhenjiang by Song Huizong to take care of it, until the third year of Xuanhe (1122), Song Huizong granted amnesty to the world, and Zong Ze was in charge of Zhenjiang liquor tax, and two years later he was appointed as the general judge of Bazhou, which was actually exiled.

In the first year of Jingkang (1126), under the recommendation of Chen Guoting, the imperial historian, he served as the governor of Hebei Volunteer Soldiers, and led tens of thousands of horses at the age of 68 to fight hundreds of battles with the Jin soldiers in the land of the Hebei Division.

The famous Yue Fei, Yue Wumu was rescued by Zong Ze at the execution ground, and after talking with Yue Fei, Zong Ze exclaimed: "What a general." Coincidentally, he caught up with the Jin soldiers to attack Bishui, and Zong Ze handed over 500 cavalry to Yue Fei to meet the Jin army. Yue Fei really lived up to Zong Ze's expectations, with 500 cavalry, defeated thousands of Jin troops, and returned with a great victory.

In Hui and Qin Erzong were captured by the Jin army and went north, Song Gaozong ascended the throne in Nanjing, Zong Ze led Yue Fei's generals to recapture Tokyo Kaifeng from the hands of the Jin soldiers, wrote to Zhao Gou, and recovered the lost land, but at this time Zhao Gou was frightened by the Jin army, where did he dare to attack the Jin army, Zong Ze was left by Zhao Gou for more than 20 twists and turns.

Zong Ze saw that Zhao Gou did not take back the idea of losing the land, he became ill with grief and became ill, and his back was sore, at this time Zong Ze was seventy years old, and he said to his subordinates in his dying plan: "I am so angry because of the misfortune suffered by Emperor Hui and Emperor Qin. If you can destroy the enemy, then I will die without hatred! All the generals howled and cried: "We are willing to fight to the death with the commander." ”

After the generals retreated, Zong Ze recited Du Pu's famous sentence: "Die before leaving the school, and the hero will be full of tears." Then he shouted three times: "Cross the river, cross the river, cross the river" with grief and indignation in Kaifeng and passed away, Zong Ze's body was carried to Zhenjiang by Yue Fei and his son Zong Ying, and buried with his wife Chen.

Zong Ze did not meet in the first half of his life, in the ancient years, for the Great Song Dynasty to fight in the south and the north, to protect the territory and the people, until the moment before his death, he was still thinking about recovering the lost land, counting the five thousand years of China, there is no more tragic person than Zong Ze.

Recalling the life of Zong Ze on the other side, Deng Long couldn't help but feel sad, this old man paid for his life for this Great Song Dynasty, and he didn't even get an empty throne after his death.

Deng Long did not answer Wu Yong's question, but said firmly: "This person must belong to my Liangshan." Deng Long stared at Wu Yong, and said in a cold tone: "No matter what method is used, this old man must go to Liangshan." ”

Wu Yong was taken aback by Deng Long's gaze, and hurriedly said: "I must find a way to help my brother get this person, but I don't know much about this person, so please ask my brother to say something about him." ”

Deng Long told the life of the owner of the village in detail, Wu Yong walked around the house for a while, and said with a smile: "Yes, but whoever has to suffer a little guilt." ”

"It's okay to suffer a little sin, let's talk about what it is." In the next few years, Zong Ze did not suffer any crimes, and his old man did not survive.

"I heard my brother say that Zong Ze has offended a lot of people in Dengzhou, as long as we go and give these people a chance to retaliate, without us taking action, Zong Ze will definitely be unlucky."

"I mean, it completely cut off Zong Ze's back road, so that he can only stay in Liangshan."

Wu Yong replied: "Well! It's a bit difficult, but there are still ways, but the risk is very high, and if you're not careful, Liangshan will have to fall into a place of no return."

Deng Long frowned slightly, what can be done to destroy Liangshan? However, Deng Long still said firmly: "The military advisor will say it directly." ”

Wu Yong walked out of the door and ordered the minions standing guard that no one was allowed within ten zhang, and after the surroundings were quiet, Wu whispered his method in his ear.

Deng Long was shocked: "That incident doesn't matter, but will this be too ruthless to Zong Ze, not only is there no way back, but even the road under your feet can't be walked!" ”

"Although the strategy is a little vicious, but for this kind of old stubbornness that is stupid and loyal to the court, it is a good one, without further ado, my brother should make a decision quickly"!

Deng Long hesitated, although he knew in his heart that for this old man, using ordinary methods to frame him would have no effect at all, and he could only get miraculous results by taking strong medicine, but what kind of mental shadow was left on the old man's heart afterwards, he had no way to remove it.

Taking a deep breath, Deng Long clenched his fists, slammed the table, and said, "Just do it according to the will of the military advisor, just forge the official documents of the ministry, no one in Liangshan can do it!" ”

Wu Yong smiled and said: "Brother don't worry, Xiaosheng happens to know two talents in this area, not far from Liangshan, in Tai'an Prefecture, there is a talent, called [Holy Hand Scholar] Xiao Rang, who specializes in imitating other people's handwriting, and the calligraphy copied is enough to confuse the real with the fake."

There is also a person in the Central Plains is also a must, open a good inscription, carved jade ornaments, vivid, to the literati and ink to carve the seal of the text, but also to the hand to capture. As long as these two people are earned, the matter is half done. ”

Deng Long smiled and praised this best pit friend of the year, and said: "Pedant, then arrange it quickly, the leaders of the cottage are at your disposal, you must be fast." ”

Wu Yong nodded, walked out of the door, and muttered softly as he walked: "Do you really want to take this step?" With happiness on his face and worry alternately, in the strange eyes of his minions, Wu went to arrange the big things of his teammates with a look full of anticipation.

Deng Long also pondered on the tiger skin chair, taking this step, it is impossible to turn back, why is there no worry in his heart at this time, but he is full of expectations, looking forward to the moment as soon as possible.

Zhu Gui also looked difficult to understand on the side, but since he fell into the grass in Liangshan, he had already been prepared to be beheaded, so he was just confused for a while, and when he turned around and saw that Deng Long was still pondering there, he quietly walked out of the Juyi Hall.
