Su Yuanjing came out and said: "It will take at least half a month for the Tong Guan army to return to the division, and if the Liangshan thief Kou comes from the Guangji army, it will only take three or five days. Weichen thought that it would be better to issue an order to recruit the Anliang Mountain bandits and appease them, lest they invade Tokyo before the army returned to the division. ”

Zhao Ji frowned and said, "Before Cai You sent troops before, I remembered that you suggested recruiting the Liangshan bandits. I'm afraid it's not a delaying tactic this time, but I really want to recruit Anliang Mountain bandits, right? ”

Li Bangyan, a scholar from Hanlin, saw that Zhao Ji was displeased, and immediately came out and said: "The Liangshan thieves robbed the state capital and killed the officers and soldiers, even the imperial court member Gao Taiwei dared to kill, which shows that they are mad and despise the imperial court. How can such a heinous thief make an order to recruit peace? ”

Zhang Bangchang also said: "It is the order of the saint to recruit peace, and the Liangshan thieves are afraid that they will not accept it, and most of them will let the thieves slander the court, and the ministers think that they must not give an order." ”

When Su Yuanjing heard this, he had no choice but to use a killer move, and said: "Although the minister had the intention of recruiting the thieves of Liangshan Mountain before, but now he is worried that they will invade the Jingshi. After defeating Gao Taiwei's army before, he claimed to have 100,000 troops to attack Jeju, and now he has defeated 100,000 troops, I am afraid that there are more soldiers and horses. It's hard to guarantee that you won't covet the capital. ”

Zhang Bangchang heard Su Yuanjing say this, and he was suddenly too frightened to make a sound.

Zhao Ji was also a little undecided, and when he saw that Wang Hao was about to sneak in from outside the hall, he couldn't help but say, "What does Wang Shaobao think?" ”

Wang Hao was pampered and arrogant, and often came before the last dynasty, as if all the civil and military officials were waiting for him. Unexpectedly, Zhao Ji opened the morning court in advance, and the late officials were waiting outside, not daring to go in.

Wang Hao wanted to take advantage of Zhao Ji's inattention and slowly sneak in from behind, but he didn't expect to be seen by Zhao Ji.

Wang Hao also listened to most of the conversation between the people, and said when he heard it: "The minister thinks that it is not impossible to give an order to recruit peace, even if the Liangshan thieves do not accept it, it can also play a role in delaying them." If they accept the court's recruitment, they can be transferred to exterminate Tian Hu and Wang Qing at that time. After the two Kou are exterminated, it is not too late for the imperial court to reward them for their meritorious deeds, and if the war in the north is tight, they can also be transferred to Liao. ”

Wang Hao said it so bluntly, everyone will also understand, it is nothing more than recruiting the Liangshan thieves, and then borrowing a knife to kill people.

Zhao Ji was stunned when he heard this, nodded and said, "What Qing said is very appropriate, which is exactly what I want." Let's ask Taiwei Chen to go, don't lose the prestige of the court. ”

Taiwei Chen Zongshan heard that he wanted him to do this thing, and he was almost so frightened that he knelt down, but the holy decree had been issued, and he did not dare to refuse, so he had to go out and receive the decree.

Zhao Ji asked some more political affairs, and then announced his retirement from the court.

Su Yuanjing walked up to Chen Zongshan and arched his hand: "Congratulations to Taiwei Chen for this beautiful trip, if this trip is successful, Lord Chen will be my Great Song Dynasty hero." ”

Chen Zongshan pursed the corners of his lips, and said angrily: "The Liangshan thieves are ferocious, and Captain Gao has been killed, if I can come back safely, it will be a great luck, what is the credit." ”

Su Yuanjing shook his head and said: "Many leaders in Liangshan are my Great Song generals, they must be loyal, but they are only defeated and captured, so they will temporarily become thieves." Lord Chen went here, it was to give them a way out, and they would inevitably encourage Chao Gai to recruit peace. The soldiers and horses of Liangshan are extremely brave, if they can serve the imperial court, it will be easy to sweep away Tianhu and Wang Qing at that time. Wouldn't all this kind of credit be recorded on the head of Lord Chen? When the captain arrives there, he can use more sweet words and compassionate words, which can be done. ”

Chen Zongshan heard Su Yuanjing say this, and then he felt that things might not be so bad.

The two of them walked a few steps, but someone shouted behind them: "Captain Chen stays." ”

Chen Zongshan turned around and saw that it was Wang Hao, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly turned around and walked to Wang Hao, and said, "What does Lord Wang have to say?" ”

Wang Hao said: "The emperor decreed that you should be the envoy, don't lose the discipline of the court and mess up the law of the country when you go there." If the Liangshan thieves have any overstepping requests, they must not agree. There is a law in my house that has many people, and I am afraid that you will not be able to see it, so I will mention it to you. ”

Chen Zongshan knew that Wang Hao was a domineering person, and the people around him were probably also general, so he was afraid that he would take him to harm his surname, but if he refused Wang Hao, I was afraid that the disaster would be in front of him, so he had to say: "Thank you deeply for your kindness." ”

Chen Zongshan received the edict of Zhao'an, the imperial wine, and went home to pack up the salute.

The next time, Zhang Gan's office in Wang Hao's mansion came to find Chen Zongshan.

Chen Zongshan did not dare to delay, and ordered five hundred forbidden army guards on the hour, and then went out of the city to the Guangji army.

On the fifth day, he came to the boundary of the Guangji Army.

Chen Zongshan said to Zhang Ganban: "The people in Liangshan are from reckless backgrounds, I'm afraid they don't take the laws of the court in their eyes, if they collide with him with a word, I am afraid that your and my lives will not be guaranteed." I also asked Zhang Ganban to accompany him with some kindness, patience and patience, and finally fulfilled this matter. ”

When Zhang Ganban heard this, he was displeased and said: "When I came, Shao Baoduo told me to pay attention to the laws of the imperial court, you only discipline you to be careful and kind, and you must break the discipline of the imperial court." The Liangshan thieves are already rebellious, and if they are kind to them again, I am afraid they will make even more trouble. ”

Chen Zongshan said bitterly: "Gao Taiwei is deeply favored by the emperor, they dare to kill, if you and I provoke their surname, An Nengbao's surname will be lifed." ”

Zhang Ganban sneered: "They killed Gao Yu, it was a battle between the two armies. Now we are the envoys of the court, and if they want to recruit peace, they will have to serve us well. These thieves are in turmoil, just looking forward to the court recruiting peace and getting an official and a half-job. How dare you really fight to the death with the court. I know how to do it, and you don't need to say more. ”

Chen Zongshan saw that he couldn't persuade Zhang Gan to do it, so he had no choice but to move on.

After walking a short distance, he saw a group of horse troops galloping towards him.

Seeing this, Chen Zongshan hurriedly shouted: "We are the envoys of the imperial court recruiting security, not here to attack the Guangji army. ”

Hua Rong led the horse army to the front, reined in the horse and shouted: "My prince already knows your intentions, please go to the barracks to see you." ”

Chen Zongshan was also a little shocked when he heard that Liang Shan had already gotten the news.

Zhang Ganban shouted: "Since you already know that the imperial court recruits An, what is your grass-headed prince." The emperor's edict is here, how can you not greet it in person? It's a bully, you are a damned thief, how can you be recruited by the court. ”

As he spoke, he turned to Chen Zongshan and said, "Please go back." ”

Chen Zongshan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Zhang Ganban say this.

Hua Rong smiled: "If it weren't for the fact that you are the envoy of the Song Dynasty, just based on your words just now, I would have cut off your dog's head." If you want to go back, go back, don't let me change my mind and cut off your dog's head. ”

Zhang Ganban saw that the Liangshan thieves did not please them in every way as he thought, and he also broke out in a cold sweat, and he didn't dare to say more.

Chen Zongshan was afraid that he would go back before he saw the person in charge of Liangshan, and he couldn't make a deal, so he said to Hua Rong: "I am the envoy of the imperial court, the leader is angry, and the official is coming to find a way out for the people of Liangshan, and I ask the leader to lead the way." ”

Hua Rong already knew the style of these Song Dynasty officials, and if they were given a good face, they would always kick their noses in the face. Now that the Great Liang soldiers are in full swing, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty must have been frightened, so they sent people to recruit An. If the messenger returns like this, he will be chastened. Therefore, Hua Rong expected that they would not dare to go back, and seeing that the two of them were really soft, he said, "Then please." ”

Chen Zongshan and his entourage followed Hua Rong for more than an hour, and then they saw a military camp that could not be seen, and the shouts of killing inside shook the sky.

When the soldiers of the forbidden army heard such wild shouts and killings, they were all trembling with fright.

Entering the camp, Hua Rong asked everyone to dismount, and then said: "These forbidden troops are waiting here, just ask the messenger to go to the big tent of the Chinese army." ”

When Zhang Ganban heard this, he couldn't help but be frightened and said to Chen Zongshan: "Without guards, if they are transformed, won't their lives be guaranteed?" Adults are not to promise him. ”

Hua Rong had good ears, and he could hear Zhang Gan's words, and said with a disdainful smile: "Since you entered the Guangji Army, we will have the final say on your surname." Is it possible that your 500 forbidden army can be more powerful than Gao Yu and Cai You's 100,000 army? ”

Chen Zongshan also secretly scolded Zhang Ganban for his stupidity, and hurriedly said: "Please also ask General Hua to lead the way, only me and Zhang Ganban will go." ”

As he spoke, he saw a big black and ugly man running towards him, and shouted from afar: "Is that the wine?" ”

Chen Zongshan saw Li Kuifeng with a fierce face also bumping into him, and hurriedly dodged in fright.

Later, Zhang Ganban dodged a little slower, and was directly knocked to the ground by Li Kui.

"Village Donkey"

Zhang Ganban saw Li Kuisheng's ferocity, and he didn't dare to scold in person, he scolded secretly in his heart, got up stupidly, and patted off the dust on his body.

The soldiers carrying the imperial wine in the back saw Li Kui rushing over, but they were so frightened that they didn't dare to move, and the puppet seemed to have to stand there, let alone protect the imperial wine.

Li Kui saw that it was really wine in the burden, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, grabbed a bottle of wine, and tore open the seal.

The smell of wine suddenly permeated.

Li Kui smiled and said: "Good wine, good wine, I'll taste it first." ”

Chen Zongshan saw that Li Kui didn't look like a good talker, so he had to say to Hua Rong: "The ten bottles of wine given by the Holy Emperor are for your leaders, and now they have been drunk, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain." ”

Hua Rong also felt that Li Kui was rude, and shouted: "Brother Li Kui, you dare to slip out, go back with me quickly." ”

Li Kui didn't care about it, picked up the wine bottle, took a few sips, and said with a smile: "The big tent is stuffy, I came out to breathe, but I didn't expect to drink a bottle of wine." Alright, let's go back. ”

Hua Rong saw that Li Kui had already drunk, so he could only helplessly go to the Chinese army's tent.

When he arrived in front of the big tent, Li Kui had already drunk a pot of wine, and casually threw it outside the big tent before following the big tent behind.

Chen Zongshan and Zhang Gan entered the big tent, and saw that there were many generals sitting on both sides, among which there were many ugly people, with unkind expressions, and they were even more weak in their hearts, and they followed Hua Rong to stop in front of the handsome case.

After the handsome case, Chao Yong had just returned from Qingzhou and was about to take people to Tokyo, but he heard the spies report that the imperial court sent a group of people to recruit An, so he decided to use another suspicious tactic to let Zhao Ji relax his vigilance, and they were easy to use.
