Chapter 784: Zhao'an Song Jiang
"Can you see the banner of this team, how many people are there?" Hearing that there was a team in front of him with the intention of blocking the way, Lotte couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
You must know that due to the large-scale occupation of people's land by the public land, there are many people in Jingdong, Jingxi, and Hebei, and the people who have no livelihood have begun to fall into the grass, rob businessmen, and even occasionally intercept military trips, which Lotte has to be cautious about. Moreover, the march of 50,000 troops stretched for more than ten miles, and ordinary people could not tell how many of them there were.
The probe said: "If you go back to the Hou Ye, the team is still far away, and you can't see the banner of the team, but you can see that there are about three or four thousand people, and its people and horses are mixed, and they are definitely not the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, so it must not be a good way to come!" ”
"The idea that the grass coward who is not long-eyed dares to come to fight the official army, is he tired of life!" Shi Goudang next to him was led by the Imperial City Division, and at this moment he was enabled by Liang Shicheng, and he felt that he had ushered in the spring of power again.
"Order the former army to be on guard, and at the same time order people to go and interrogate!" Lotte commanded.
When the horse was busy, he rode his horse to march forward.
"Lord Hou......"
At this time, suddenly a light horse wearing the armor of the Great Song Dynasty galloped over, and soon came to Lotte and bowed his hand and said: "Hou Ye, Liang Shan Luo Song Jiang led more than 3,000 people to return to the imperial court, and at this moment I am waiting for Hou Ye in front of me, and I invite Hou Ye to go to Zhao'an." ”
The person who came was none other than Yang Zhi, who had gone to Liangshanluo a few days ago to recruit Song Jiang.
In the army, Lotte is the general of the Biandu Forbidden Army in front of him, and he couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard the words, that Song Jiang has been entrenched in Liangshan for more than a year, and has repeatedly defeated the official army, which makes the officials and troops of Hebei and Jingdong Zhulu dare not wipe their front, and now they come to surrender, which is really unexpected.
His face remained unchanged, and Lotte waved his hand: "Lead the way ahead, go to Zhao'an with Ben Hou!" ”
"Master Hou, the son of Qianxin can't sit down, think twice!"
"Hou Ye, that Song Jiang has always been scheming, and he has repeatedly defeated my officers and soldiers, Hou Ye is still more careful, don't ask for Song Jiang's plan!"
"Master Hou, it's better to send someone to investigate first, it's better to be cautious!"
……
Hearing Lotte say this, the generals next to him hurriedly persuaded.
"As you said, Song Jiang is a person who knows the times, and he has only 3,000 men and horses, and he is just ants in front of my 50,000 army, how can he be deceitful?" waved his hand and smiled at Lotte Dao, and then instructed Yang Zhi: "Lead the way in front and go to appease Ben Hou!" ”
The generals Sasami couldn't persuade Lotte, so they had to send an order to the front army to be vigilant at all times in case there was a change.
Yang Zhi led the way in front, Lotte walked to the front army, only to see thousands of people and horses standing solemnly in front, although the distance is very far away to see the faces of people clearly, but there are two red flags in the wind is very eye-catching, to go closer to see clearly, the big flag is written with the words "Shuntian" and "protect the country".
Lotte took a closer look, and saw that although this team had different numbers, it was also very good, and its spirit and spirit were not comparable to the decadent appearance of the Biandu Forbidden Army. At the forefront, there was an infantry army composed of five or seven hundred big men, with golden drum flags in front, and the soldiers behind them with guns, knives, axes, and halberds, and the sergeants each hung swords, bows and arrows, and formed a line.
"Who are you waiting for Song Jiang?" At this moment, Lotte rode a horse in front and looked directly at Liang Shanluo's entire team and asked.
Although he knows Song Jiang, he still has to do enough scenes.
"Sinner Song Jiang, I've seen this general, but I don't know if this general is the lord of the court?" Don't say it, Song Jiang's acting talent is also extraordinary.
Without waiting for Lotte to speak, Wu Song, who was guarding Lotte as near, spoke: "My marquis will be regarded as the emperor's son-in-law today, and the marquis of Pingyu will be knighted!" ”
Hearing this, Song Jiang dismounted and asked respectfully: "But is that the Marquis Le who destroyed the Xia Kingdom, captured the Xia King in Biandu, and asked Gongtian to dismiss Yang Jian?" ”
At this time, Yang Zhi was also very cooperative and said: "It's not my lord, who is it?" ”
Having passed through the air early and knowing Lotte again, Song Jiang hurriedly greeted the brothers behind him: "Brothers, come and meet Lord Le!" ”
Hearing Song Jiang's words, Liang Shanluo and his generals and soldiers bowed down one after another.
After seeing the ceremony, Liang Shanluo and the others still did not get up, only listened to Song Jiang continue to worship: "Gongtian forcibly occupied Liangshan Luo to pay heavy taxes, grass people Song Jiang and the general poor brothers can not live, so they take risks and fall into the grass for the sake of Kou, now I know that the Hou Ye Le is dedicated to the people, please dismiss the Gongtian Institute and impeach Yang Jian, so that the people of my Great Song Dynasty can live in peace and happiness, but I wait for the grass to bear the name of the thief, and I can't help myself, now I listen to the Jiangnan Manichaean cult and chaos, and the southeast half of the Great Song Dynasty is bad, so the grass people Song Jiang took the general brothers to serve the court, and is willing to drive for the court, To quell the bandits! ”
Throwing his hand to the sky, Lotte is very official and stylized and said: "When today's son also heard that there are thirty-six people in Song Jiang in Liangshanluo, the number of stars in Liangshan, and the number of heroes and stars, but also the courage and bravery, do not fish and fish and farm, do not invade the merchants, do not commit the official government, before the Son of Heaven has been replaced, but there are traitors in the dynasty as a disaster, you do not obey, now the traitors are removed, and you can serve the country as a great good." ”
"Everything is the fault of the grass people!" Song Jiang bowed again, and bowed again: "The Son of Heaven has said this, he is really a saint of the ages, the grass people are full of tears, and they can't repay their broken bones!" ”
"Song Jiang and everyone get up first, wait for a while to receive the holy decree and then speak!" Lotte said, and then turned around and instructed Hu Song: "Bring the edict from the saint to Ben Hou, and then call Shi Gou to pass the decree!" ”
Let Shi Gou Dang announce the decree, Lotte naturally has his own ideas, this Zhao'an's holy decree is read by himself, it always seems not formal and grand enough, there is just such a eunuch as Shi Gou Dang, so that he can read it a lot more formal.
got the order, Shi Goudang only felt more ashamed, but Lotte is for the positive seal, not only the status is prominent, but also involves the important matter of recruitment, Shi Goudang did not dare to mistake the imperial court's plan, so he had to take the holy decree from Wu Song's hand and came to Liangshanluo and a group of soldiers and horses to announce the decree.
Taking advantage of this moment, Lotte began to order people to arrange the edict, and the holy decree was read out at will, and immediately a group of forbidden soldiers and Liangshan Luo's minions were busy, setting up a group of color sheds, only to see the colorful hanging flowers, the following sheng flute drum music, incense incense to pick up the road, Song Jiangjun in front of the head, behind the leaders and soldiers are all down together, to welcome the edict.
Shi Dang, who pretended to read the edict, knew the process of announcing the edict, and he could only read the edict when everything was safe.
There are three cases in the color shed, all of which are surrounded by Huangluo dragon and phoenix tables. Long live the dragon card, put the imperial book Dan edict, put it in the middle, the gold and silver cards, put it on the left, the red and green brocade section, put it on the right, and put it in front of the wine table. Good incense burned in the golden furnace. Lotte sat on the seat, several generals of the forbidden army sat on the side, as for Shi Goudang, he only stood up, and Song Jiang, Yan Qing and others knelt in front of the hall, and the courteous officials bowed.
A group of officials, together with Liang Shanluo and other leaders, bowed down and bowed before Shi Gou began to read the edict:
The system said: Since I ascended the throne, I have ruled the world with benevolence and righteousness, rewarded and punished the public to set the war, sought the virtuous and did not slack off, loved the people as fearful, and knew my heart. Remembering Song Jiang, Yan Qing, etc., he is loyal and righteous, does not commit tyranny, has been obedient for a long time, and has an awe-inspiring ambition to serve. Although they have sinned and sinned, each has its own reasons, and he has deep pity for his heartfelt feelings. I am now sent to the Pingyu Marquis and the Horse Captain Lotte, holding an edict to appease and pardon the crimes committed by Song Jiang and other people. When the pardon book arrives, don't be discouraged, return to obedience early, and it must be reused. Therefore, I hereby forgive and I would like to know about it.
Edict on December 27, 2nd year of Xuanhe
Shi Gou read the edict of Dan, Song Jiang and others shouted long live, and then thanked the grace.
Today, Liangshan Luo came to surrender, and he couldn't march, Lotte had ordered the three armies to be stationed before, and at the same time ordered a banquet to be set up in the tent to wait for the heroes of Liangshan Luo, and even called the army to feast and drink for officials in addition to the rotating generals.
After the military tent was placed, Lotte called for the imperial wine, took the silver wine chips, poured them all into it, and then took the ladle and scooped the wine, ordered someone to light the fire and warm it, and then poured it into the silver kettle.
Lotte insisted on the golden cup, poured a glass of wine, and said to the leaders of Liang Shanluo: "Lotte is ordered by the Son of Heaven to come here with the imperial wine, and the order is given to the leaders. ”
Liang Shanluo and the generals thanked him, drank a glass of wine, and then poured wine, first persuaded Song Jiang, Song Jiang raised a glass to drink, and then a total of 36 generals drank a glass.
After drinking a glass of imperial wine, Song Jiang led 36 people under his command to stand in the tent, thanked Lotte, and said: "Song Jiang has to see Taiyan today, and he feels the kindness of the Hou Ye, so that Song Jiang and a dry brother can see the light of the day again, unforgettable, and dare not forget." ”
Signaling to be exempt from courtesy, Lotte said: "Although Le knows that the righteous people in Liangshan are loyal and righteous, and have the wind of doing the right thing for the sky, Nai Yuan does not know the things that are wronged, so the Son of Heaven did not dare to play the inscription, so that it was delayed for a long time. A few days ago, Lord Hou Menghou of Bozhou Zhizhou had sparse with His Majesty and asked His Majesty to summon all the heroes.
Unexpectedly, the Son of Heaven knew that he was prepared in detail, and it was the same as that played by Lord Hou, His Majesty personally ordered to take the four treasures of the house, held the imperial pen and wrote the Dan edict, and he went to Liangshan Luo to invite the leaders, and hoped that the righteous people would clean up the capital as soon as possible, and take the meaning of the Holy Son of Heaven to announce the summoning of peace. I didn't think that Le had never been to Liangshanluo, so I saw you and others come to vote, and you and others knew that the country was in turmoil, and they took the initiative to vote for service without waiting for the saint to appease them, which was really loyal. ”
Song Jiang and others were overjoyed and thanked them.
The eyes of the Biandu forbidden army are higher than the top, but they dare not underestimate Liang Shanluo and the others, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers and horses of Liangshan Luo can be described as explosive.
Moreover, this dynasty is heavy and light on martial arts, and Qiu Ba, who is a soldier, really has no face in front of the officials, not to mention that the Marquis Le in front of him is not only the emperor's son-in-law, but also a talented man who was born in the Great Song Dynasty.
In the hall, the generals of the forbidden army and the heroes of Liangshan Luo were all ranked, and a feast was set up, taking turns to hold the lamp. There was a lot of buzz in front of the hall. Although there is no cannon dragon to cook the phoenix, it is a sea of Roshan wine, and everyone is willing to show their hearts and talk about their lives. All the days were drunk, and everyone returned to the curtain to rest.
But on the second day, the leader of the gang began to bury the pot to make rice, and the soldiers began to set up camp and set up the village, and after breakfast, they marched south.
