Chapter 6 There is a good strategy for soothing first and then recruiting, and there is no way to be respectful before and after

On the Yin Hall of Qingzhou Mansion, Su Yuanjing and Nafu Yin agreed on how to dredge the official ship after dredge the Cao Yun, and suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was half lighter, Su Yuanjing said: "Just look at this Hu Sanniang really did not do anything to the end, if she really has the heart to cut off the Cao Yun, she will not let go of the civilian ships and official ships in the past, and the matter of recruiting peace is also promising." ”

Nafu Yin said: "Xiao Keduo once heard rumors in the market, and said that Liang Shanhu and his group of people played the banner of Qingjun's side, punishing traitors, and acting for Tianxingdao, and said that the traitors in the court were in charge, and those who went up the mountain and fell into the grass there, led by Lu Junyi, Lin Chong and others, most of them were victimized by the traitors and had to fall into the grass. Therefore, Liangshan spread that he did not want to be recruited by the imperial court, and if he really wanted to recruit peace, either the court would eliminate the traitorous ministers, or after being recruited, he would open the feudal town and Yongzhen Shandong there, and he was afraid that after Zhao'an, his group would be broken up by the court and be killed by the traitors in the court one by one. ”

Su Yuanjing frowned when he heard this: "What he is worried about is not unreasonable, but whether it is to get rid of any traitorous ministers or open any feudal towns, it is a dilemma. After a pause, Taiwei Su said: "Well, since you are here to recruit peace, you will first take appeasement as the top, and then know the benefits. I waited here exclusively, and if I was too annoying, I sent someone to report to the cottage and ordered me to prepare to meet it. Nafu Yin replied: "The petty official should go in person." Immediately ordered the government to prepare horses to go out of the city, and the house Yin personally brought more than a dozen servants to Liangshan.

It turned out that the Qingzhou Mansion Yin surnamed Liu Shuangming missionary, the last trip to the Three Mountains to break Qingzhou, the original Mansion Yin Murong prefect died, and this Liu missionary just arrived. Although this person is the Yin of the Song Dynasty, he has already converted to the White Lotus Sect, and there are many people in Liangshan who invade him, so he is Liangshan Neiying.

Therefore, when he arrived at the foot of the mountain, he was in the Zhu Gui Hotel, and the Liu Xuanjiao said the secret words of the White Lotus Sect, and Zhu Gui immediately caught it, first prepared a banquet for hospitality, and then reported it to the village. After Sanniang heard the news, she ordered the holy hand scholar Xiao Rang to go down the mountain to welcome Liu Taishou up the mountain and to Juxian Hall.

That Liu Xuanjiao saw Sanniang in the hall, and saw her wearing a big red straight hunting suit, a black hat hanging down, holding a Luo fan, bright eyes, amazing, secretly thinking that she was really a saint of the sect, and she was shocked. Liu Xuanjiao immediately bowed, Sanniang was exempted from courtesy, and taught him to sit aside.

After seeing each other, Sanniang smiled slightly: "Liu Jushi is the master of the Qingzhou sect under my sect, why are you here today?" Liu preached: "Good master rejoice! The imperial court sent the palace to the former lieutenant, Qing Dan Zhao, the royal pen himself, came to recruit An. The royal gold medal, the table, the wine, the Duan Kai, see in Qingzhou City. ”

When Sanniang heard this, she was not surprised or pleased, but said lightly: "Why did he go around Qingzhou to rest the horse?" Liu Xuanjiao said: "Su Taiwei is a fellow villager of the villain, and he has a lot of contacts in the court, so he detoured to me to discuss the matter of recruiting peace with me. ”

Sanniang bowed slightly: "I see, since Taiwei Su is here, then I'll see you first." On the side, Lin Chong asked: "Senior sister, do you want to put down the soldiers and horses like last time to scare him?" Sanniang raised her hand and stopped: "This time there is no need, this trip that Zhao Guan's family came with a request, and it will not be like the last trip, domineering, because I don't need to coerce him in the village." ”

Liu Xuanjiao also said that Su Yuanjing planned to entrust civilian ships and merchant ships to carry out the transportation on his behalf, and Sanniang smiled slightly: "This Su Yuanjing is not pedantic, but can also be discussed." It's just that after he went to Shandong, he had to entrust civilian ships and merchant ships to transport them on his behalf, and he had to pay a transshipment fee, and for the Song Dynasty, it would cost a sum of money. ”

Liu Xuanjiao was overjoyed, and said with his hand: "In this way, the cost of the government will be even more economical!" Speaking of Zhao'an again, Liu Xuanjiao said: "Listening to Su Yuanjing's tone, this trip to Zhao'an, with appeasement as the first, everything can be discussed." ”

Sanniang said: "We met, and we will discuss it after talking." At that time, Liu Xuanjiao was invited to teach tea and dinner. Liu Xuanjiao said: "It's not that the lower officials refuse, but I'm afraid that the captain will be too late to return." Sanniang said: "Well, since this is the case, I will ask the lord of Liutan to go back to do things quickly, and lead Su Yuanjing up the mountain sooner or later." He came this time, and he was very sincere, and I will send someone with you here. ”

Sanniang looked at it, Gongsun Sheng got up and said with a smile: "Lord Bo, go to meet me this time, and send a weighty person to the village. Sanniang immediately agreed, and immediately sent Gongsun Sheng, Yan Qing, Xiao Rang, Le He, a total of four, and let a hundred iron guards follow him, follow Liu Xuanjiao down the mountain, and go straight to Qingzhou to meet Su Taiwei.

Gongsun Sheng and others followed Taishou Liu to preach and descend the mountain overnight until Qingzhou. The next day, I came to the pavilion to see Mrs. Su, said goodbye, and saluted separately. After returning the salute, they all sat down. The four were not humble either, and they all sat down.

Taiwei asked his surname, and Gongsun Sheng replied: "Poor Dao Gongsun Sheng, added as the military division in the village, these three are Yan Qing, Xiao Rang, and Le He, and they are ordered by the three ladies of the lord to welcome Enxiang." The owner and the brothers greeted him in front of the water village in Yazui Beach the day after tomorrow. ”

Su Taiwei was overjoyed, and said: "I have heard for a long time that a Qing Dao is famous, and the master disciple of Luo Zhenren of Erxian Mountain, I can see it today, and I am very lucky!" The lower officials know the heart of your brothers, and they are loyal and righteous, but they are only closed by traitorous ministers, and they slander and dictate power, so that all of you cannot reach your feelings. On the last trip to Zhao'an, there are many thoughtful places, and now the son knows that it is known, and specially ordered the officials to the Son of Heaven to write the edict of the emperor, gold and silver medals, red and green brocade sections, imperial wine, and the inside and outside, and come to discuss the matter of Zhao'an. You don't have any doubts, you will receive it with all your heart, even if you can't recruit peace, it is also the mind of the Son of Heaven. ”

Gongsun Sheng and the others bowed and thanked again: "There is a grace coming, and I feel the kindness of the Son of Heaven." Su Yuanjing ordered people to set up a banquet to treat him, and during the banquet, Su Yuanjing talked about Taoism with Gongsun Sheng, and never mentioned the matter of recruiting peace, so he was also happy.

In the early morning of the third day, Qingzhou loaded three incense carts and put the imperial wine in another dragon and phoenix box; Gold and silver medals, red and green brocade segments, another place to carry; The imperial book Dan edict, placed in the Dragon Pavilion. Su Taiwei got on the horse and traveled eastward by the Dragon Pavilion, and Taishou Liu Xuanjiao rode a horse to accompany him; Gongsun Sheng and the other four followed, riding horses; Big and small companions, all huddle together.

Immediately ahead, the golden flag and the golden drum flag team opened the way, went out of Qingzhou, and marched forward. After two days of such fanfare, they arrived at the foot of Liangshan, and when they passed through Dongping, Wenshang and other Liangshan counties along the way, Su Yuanjing saw that Liangshan military horses and officials were carefully governed, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment under the rule, and all industries in the city were prosperous, and the countryside was arrogant, and the merchants were endless. I also saw that the White Lotus Sect altar was opened under the rule, and the monks practiced in the family, the people were honest and harmonious, and there were no big families in the countryside who oppressed the people, and there were no corrupt officials and corrupt officials in the city who were rampant, and there were no thieves and strong people in the mountains and fields to do evil, Su Yuanjing looked at it and praised: "Under the rule of Qingming, there is a prosperous and happy land." ”

At the foot of Liangshan, I saw that in Liangshan Dongting City, the lights were lit up in the morning, and the people who came and went lined up to greet each other. Su Taiwei looked at it on the horse, only to see that in the wilderness here, open up more than ten miles, all build streets and buildings, it is a lively market, Liangshan soldiers and dependents who come down from the mountain come here to shop and hang out, Liangshan has opened a teahouse, a winery, a medical hall, an iron shop, a casino, and a place of wind and moon here, and it is a happy place. What is rare is that there are eight private schools and two academies here, which preach and teach inside, and there is a burst of scholars.

Su Yuanjing got off the horse and took a closer look, and said in amazement: "There is no place where the heroes of the rivers and lakes can govern the rule so prosperously." I saw that the streets were covered with colorful hanging flowers, and the sheng flutes and drums were played below, forcing them to greet them.

After passing through Dongting City, the group arrived at the edge of the water and changed to a boat. But seeing that there were endless fishermen coming and going in Shuibo, Gongsun Sheng pointed to a large field in the west of Shuibo and said: "There is the military tun reclaimed in the cottage, and 50,000 acres of fertile land are there. Su Yuanjing praised: "Farming and warfare lectures, businessmen are prosperous, there are rare lakes and mountains here, I have the idea of living here for a little longer." ”

Gongsun Sheng smiled: "Taiwei can stay as long as he wants." After gossiping for a long time, I took a boat to the edge of the Yazui Beach Water Village, only to see that the wharf is a colorful mountain shed again. Seeing the cigarette in front of him, Lu Junyi and Lin Chong led more than ten naval leaders to catch it in front of him.

Captain Su stepped forward, and after each of them saluted, Captain Su said: "You have to greet you, and you have not consulted the two leaders. Lu Junyi and Lin Chong said their respective names, and Su Yuanjing said: "It turned out to be Lu Yuanwai and Lin Jiaotou, who are famous all over the world, and they really hated to see each other." But please introduce the rest of the leaders. ”

Lu Junyi and Lin Chong introduced Li Jun, Zhang Heng, Zhang Shun, San Ruan and other naval leaders behind them, and Su Yuanjing praised: "It's all like thunder, and when I see it today, they are all majestic." I heard that the elite boaters here in Shuibo traveled to and from the canal, although they were at war with the imperial court, they did not harm the merchants and people, nor did they intrude on the coastal states and counties, and they were really loyal. ”

When the leaders of the navy heard Su Yuanjing's words of admiration, they all rejoiced. Su Yuanjing looked at the edge of the village again, and docked more than 300 warships in Liangshan, patrolling ships back and forth, entering and exiting the boats, orderly, the sergeant drove the boat to operate the boat, and flew back and forth on the water, Su Yuanjing praised: "Sure enough, it is a strong force on the water." ”

A kind of navy leader was praised, and they were all happy, and at that moment, Lu Junyi and Lin Chong were introduced, and a group of navy leaders sent Su Yuanjing to the top of the three passes. I saw that under the three passes, the drums were noisy, the sergeants were guided, the guards were continuous, and the fragrance was lingering, until the dismount in front of the Juxian Hall. Xiangche Dragon Pavilion, put on the Juxian Hall.

I saw that here the lord of Liangshan Bo was a young man and three ladies, dressed in a red straight hunting suit and a black hat hanging down, leading all the leaders to wait there. There are three cases in the middle, all surrounded by Huangluo dragon and phoenix tables, and it is the incense case that is set up.

Su Yuanjing stepped forward and saluted: "Why do you want the owner to wait here?" Sanniang smiled: "This gift counts ears." Last time, Taiwei Chen came to recruit An, blaming me for not knowing the etiquette, and I never put down the incense case to receive the edict, so this time I paid attention to this matter, so I placed the incense case here to receive the edict. ”

Su Yuanjing also smiled: "The owner of the park is straightforward and cheerful, and sure enough, the women don't let the eyebrows go." "Immediately ordered people, put the imperial book Dan edict, put it in the middle of the incense case, the gold and silver plates, put it on the left, the red and green brocade section, put it on the right, the imperial wine table, also put it in front, the gold furnace burned good incense, Su Yuanjing led Sanniang and other heads to take the lead in worshiping the edict, and then each got up and stood still, just waiting for Su Yuanjing to read the edict.
