However, he said that Lao Cao sent troops this time, and the movement was not trivial, and he ordered 5,000 soldiers and horses, without a single officer and soldier, all of them were sharp soldiers who had been trained on Liangshan for several years.

In order to select these 5,000 people, Liangshan was lively and lively for seven days, the strong were selected, the best were selected, and the strongest and best were compared, and then these 5,000 heroes were selected.

Among them, the youngest is 19 years old, and the oldest is 31 years old, in terms of human nature, they are all ruthless horns who have killed people, collided with battles, and rolled a few times in the field of life and death.

Of these 5,000 people, there are 500 tigers riding horses, riding good horses, using long soldiers, and all of them are wearing heavy armor.

And he rode a thousand and a half, rode fast horses, and drew a longbow, and all of them could shoot hearts at a hundred paces away.

There are also two thousand leopard riders, light leather armor, eyebrow sharp knives, can also hold the bow and release arrows, can also rush to kill the enemy, chase the north, it is a good trick.

The last thousand, although it is infantry, there are also horses to ride, only dismount when fighting, among them five hundred swinging soldiers, all dancing barbarian cards, good at using hidden weapons, five hundred broken soldiers, each hand a long knife, narrow and sharp, not only can compare the gun forest to resist the enemy, but also can cut through the thousands of troops.

Do you see these five thousand men, when they are pulled out, they are like a mountain rising from the ground—

It's not that he's tall, it's the rolling evil spirit, but he can soar into the sky!

Looking at it separately and carefully, it is getting more and more, one by one, the temples are bulging, the cheeks are nunu, the chest is shy, the buttocks are tumbling, and the people are seen with their nostrils, they are really proud soldiers in a hundred battles, and their arrogance is extraordinary!

However, proud soldiers are good, if there are no strong generals, who can command?

Therefore, Lao Cao set out on this expedition and specially named the twenty-four generals of Liangshan!

Among them, the eight gods are "Leopard Head" Lin Chong, "Guan Dadao" Guan Sheng, "Wen Dadao" Wen Da, "Thunderbolt Fire" Qin Ming, "Double Whip General" Hu Yanzhuo, "Xiao Li Guang" Hua Rong, "Nanli Divine Knife" Shi Bao, and "Ghost Shuai" Li Tianyan.

There are also six generals, who are the "Demon King of the Mixed World" Fan Rui, the "Divine Horse" Ma Ling, the "Mountain Puller" Tang Bin, the "Smashing Mountain" Shan Shiqi, the "Golden Gunner" Xu Ning, and the "Iron Dragonfly" Niu Wenzhong.

There are also six Xiao generals, namely "Zhen Sanshan" Huang Xin, "Choujun Ma" Xuanzan, "Jing Mu Qian" Hao Siwen, "Xiong Wei General" Yu Yulin, "Taiyue Double Eagle" Jin Ding, Huang Yue.

There are also three Biao generals and one wolf general: Bao Xu, the "God of Mourning", Xiang Chong, the "Eight-armed Nezha", Li Gon, the "Flying Sage", and Cao Zheng, the "Knife Ghost".

When the mountain was ordered, many heroes were clamoring to go, especially Mingjiao, but Fang Jie and Si Xingfang were seriously injured, and they had not healed so far, so they couldn't move lightly.

Moreover, there are too many ruthless people this time, and Lu Zhishen, Yang Zhi and others are still in Jiangnan, and the strength of the cottage is inevitably empty. Tong Guan saw the expedition to Liao, in case his head was hot, it was not impossible to hit Liangshan by the way.

Therefore, Fang Qifo, Pang Wanchun and others were left in charge, plus Han Shizhong and Bian Xiang, and self-protection should be safe.

On the Qingzhou side, Lao Cao also ordered a few brothers to go with him, which were "Sharpshooter" Shi Wengong, "Sai Zhangfei" Du Bao, "Faceless" Jiao Ting, "Little Overlord" Zhou Tong, "Little Wenhou" Lu Fang, "Sai Rengui" Guo Sheng, and two female generals: "Yizhangqing" Hu Sanniang, "Female Heavenly Demon" Duan Sanniang.

Not counting Lao Cao himself, there are a total of thirty-two heroes!

In fact, he didn't want to take Du Yan, just because Hu Sanniang promised him to go to Liaoguo to catch his wife in front of everyone, Lao Cao didn't want to brush his mother-in-law's face, so he simply brought it.

On the first day of the ninth month, everyone drank a bowl of wine and left Qingzhou, and within three days, they had arrived in Dengzhou.

Dengzhou Jiedu made Song Jiang and Song Fuzhou get the letter early, calculated the time, greeted thirty miles outside the city, jumped off the horse from a distance, rushed like a ball, hugged Lao Cao and said: "Brother, I have been away for nearly a year, and I want to hurt my younger brother." ”

Cao Cao patted Song Jiang's back affectionately, felt that he had gained two inches fatter, and said with a smile: "The virtuous brother is so comfortable, but he is becoming more and more official." ”

Song Jiang lowered his head, didn't see his toes, rubbed his stomach, and said with a smile: "But let my brother see it, and he will pick up my martial arts from tomorrow." ”

Cao Cao smiled: "This is the prime minister's belly, it's better to be wider." Virtuous brother, although you sit on the throne of the festival, in fact, it is equivalent to the prefect, Shandong Bazhou, if you talk about political clarity, prosperity of the market, and Li people's happiness, only you are the most outstanding in Dengzhou Mansion, but you underestimated your brother in the past, like a virtuous brother such a brilliant talent, if I am Zhao Guan's family, the prime minister will let you sit. ”

Lao Cao's words seem to praise him, but in fact they are not exaggerated.

Song Jiang was in the public court the year before, with a good martial arts, he fought and killed the Zhou prefect alive, and the old Cao Miao wrote in detail how he fought alone to kill hundreds of bandits to quell the chaos, and saw that the Zhao Guan's family was angry, and remembered the old feelings of the late Taiwei Gao Yu, and promoted him to be a festival envoy.

After taking office, according to Lao Cao's confession, he sent his younger brother Song Qing to Tongque Commercial Bank to withdraw money, go to Beijing to offer gifts, and worship under Cai Youmen.

Cai You, adhering to his father's family style, has a good reputation, and has more means than his father.

Originally, according to the qualifications of Song Qing and Song Jiang, he couldn't know the government at all, but he operated and somehow made a ghost and promoted Song Qing from the county official to the county magistrate of Penglai.

That Penglai is the seat of Dengzhou Mansion, Song Qing became the prefect of the county, but the position of prefect was deliberately vacant, and since then the military and political power has been in the hands of Song Jiang.

Song Jiang, although there are all ridiculous things, but when it comes to heart, in today's officialdom, he is like ice and snow, and his own ability is also extraordinary.

He was born as a landlord, and has been a clerk for many years, all kinds of agricultural and commercial affairs, rural customs and rules, and knows everything.

The officials obeyed him for his political practice, being sophisticated, and willing to leave room with others, the powerful and powerful convinced him to be generous and heroic, extravagant in means, and not greedy for money and lustful, and the Li Shu served him to be kind and benevolent, approachable, and aware of the people's suffering, so the upper and lower harmony, everything was promoted smoothly, less than two years, from Penglai County and Dengzhou Mansion, was a prosperous scene governed by him.

Lao Cao learned that he also claimed to be strange, and thought that if he talked about talent and wisdom, Huang Wenbing was still above Song Jiang, but people should be better than people and goods should be thrown, Huang Wenbing's name is justified in a prefect, no matter how the army and the people are governed, they are all inferior to Song Jiang's boss.

Cao Cao is a pragmatic person, and he will not let the prejudices of the past sway, and he praises Song Jiang's words at this moment, which is really sincere.

Song Jiang heard it in his ears, and he was suddenly shocked, especially the word "prime minister", which was deafening, and the ecstatic energy was like a warm current, surging out of the dantian, and the second pulse of Ren Du was opened in an instant, and he jumped all around.

The two bridges of the world and the first pass, the spirit suddenly lifted, only to feel that the heart is clear, the sage books that I read in the early years, word by word flow through the heart, and many old-fashioned and stubborn opinions in the mind have been broken without a trace.

When I opened my eyes, I felt that the heaven and earth were natural, all things were harmonious, the mountains and rivers were beautiful, and I couldn't help but smile, and the momentum of the whole person changed.

At this time, Hua Rong jumped off the horse with joy, hugged Song Jiang and said, "Brother, I want to hurt my little brother!" The younger brother was in Liangshan, and he listened to the guests singing: 'After Bao Gong went, it was as long as the night, and only the sky was blue in Dengzhou.' 'I am truly overjoyed, my brother is so benevolent and righteous, if he really becomes the prime minister, he will surely be able to bless all the people. ”

Song Jiang patted Hua Rong, shook his head and smiled: "The Zhao official family will not sit for the prime minister for me, although I am familiar with some government affairs, but I will not make Hua Shigang, unless Brother Wu becomes an official, Song Fuzhou may have a day to pay homage to the prime minister." ”

After saying that, looking at Lao Cao, the two blinked, looked at each other and laughed, it was all in silence.

Song Jiang came to pick up Lao Cao, Xie Zhen, Xie Bao, Li Jun, Zhang Shun and others were all in the team, and when they saw Song Jiang finishing the ceremony, they all rushed to worship Lao Cao.

Lao Cao's side, Lin Chong, Huarong and others, are all old acquaintances when they were envoys to Jin Guo, and then Qin Ming and others, who also fought against Zong Ze when they first played, and they met again at this moment, and they knew each other's friendship, and they didn't know each other, so it was not lively.

But it was Song Qing who smiled and said, "Why are the brothers blowing the wind here? Wouldn't it be nice for the younger brother in the city to prepare a feast early, and talk and laugh while drinking? ”

In the evening, everyone entered the city, Song Jiang led to the mansion, and the wine banquet was put on the table, Lao Cao and others saw that it was not only rich and delicious, but also full of human affection!

How do you see human affection? There are poems as proof -

The wine and tea are fragrant, the fruit and melon, and the stacks of dishes and bowls are boastful:

Animals in the mountains, roe deer, bears and deer, fresh fish, crabs and shrimps on the seabed.

The former was hunted by treasures, and the latter was all caught by Li Zhang.

The sister-in-law of the Gu family cooked it herself, and the brothers smiled like flowers.

Brothers get together, drink and eat, chew and drink, and don't feel half-drunk.

Song Jiang drank a few glasses of urgent wine, his black face was red, he pondered for a moment, called someone to bring a large bottle, poured it full, held it in both hands, slowly walked in front of Qin Ming, knelt on his knees, everyone was shocked, and they all stopped talking and looked at him.

Qin Ming also drank a lot of wine, and was with Gu Sister-in-law and Duan Sanniang, the two female generals, explaining the wonderful use of the mace, just as he was proud, he suddenly saw Song Jiang kneeling on him, he was startled, and even turned over the stool, but he was so good that he hurriedly took two steps, stabilized his figure, frowned and said: "Brother Song, what does this mean?" ”

Song Jiang lowered his head and refused to raise it: "Back then, Song Mou forced you to fall into the grass and cut off your back road, but he killed your mother, but now every time I think about it, I am in a cold sweat, and I really regret not being at the beginning!" I wanted to go to Liangshan to find you several times, and I told you that Song was wrong and thought that you were killed, but I knew that you would definitely not want to, but it seemed that I had no fear and no sincerity, so I didn't go to ...... for a long time."

Speaking of this, he slowly raised a black face, and his face was covered with beads of sweat from soybeans: "Now you are going to fight the Khitan with Brother Wu, this is a first-class heroic career...... If I don't make amends now, I don't know how long it will take. Today's kneeling is Song asking your deceased wife for guilt. ”

He said it a little unclearly, but everyone knew what it meant, and they clearly felt that it was dangerous to go, for fear that Qin Ming would have a good and bad situation, and he would never have the opportunity to confess in person, but he was afraid that it would be unlucky to say it, so he was vague.

Qin Ming didn't expect Song Jiang to come out this way, with a straight face, no joy or sorrow, and stood in front of Song Jiang in a daze.

Cao Cao frowned, and he didn't know what to say, could he persuade Qin Ming to forgive Song Jiang for this?

Qin Ming could naturally forgive Song Jiang, but it shouldn't be his brother who said it, so he simply kept silent and watched the two of them act.

There was silence.

After a while, Hua Rong got up, knelt down beside Song Jiang, and sighed: "Old Qin, in fact, if you look into it carefully, Hua Rong also owes you this kneeling." ”

Qin Ming and Song Jiang didn't have much friendship, but they were extremely good with Hua Rong's brother-in-law, so he hurriedly pulled him up: "Uncle, I know your intentions, you get up, Qin has something to say." ”

Hua Rong still refused to get up, Cao Cao made a look, Duan Sanniang understood, stepped forward and grabbed Hua Rong, "Hi" with a force, Hua Rong couldn't help himself, so he had to stand up.

Qin Ming had a gloomy face and stood in front of Song Jiang for a long time, then he sighed and said lightly: "Although the plan is from you, there is someone else who killed my sister after all." Now that Murong Yanda's old dog is dead, it was my eldest brother Wu who avenged my blood revenge. Outside the city of Qingzhou, my sister-in-law broke the money and set up a temple of Mrs. Qin, hehe, my sister was kind and charitable during her lifetime, and helped many people, and now the people read her old virtues, and the incense in the temple is also prosperous......"

As if chatting with others, he said lightly, and took the wine bottle in Song Jiang's hand: "What Qin wants to say is that my sister has probably become a god, and she and I don't want to worry about the old days." Not to mention ......"

Qin Ming slowly squatted down, looked at Song Jiang's eyes fixedly, shook his head and said, "At that time, you were Song Gongming, but now you are Song Fuzhou." ”

As soon as he raised his head, he drank a large bottle of wine, burped a foul smell on Song Jiang's face, smiled slightly, and poured it after looking at it.

Everyone was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to take a look, but saw that his face was flushed, and he snored like thunder, but he was drunk.

Cao Cao picked up the wine bottle, shook it, and said with a smile: "You Hei San Lang, if you make amends for the wine, you will make amends for the wine, but why do you want to pour such a big cup?" ”

Shaking his head, he said: "I was going to board the ship tomorrow, how can Qin Ming withstand the bumps when he is so drunk?" Well, I didn't say it explicitly, but now that it's so, let's drink it freely, trim it for two days, and then board the ship. ”

Everyone laughed when they heard it, and they each made wine, Song Jiang was full of relief, and he was drunk for a while, but he refused to go to sleep, holding Lao Cao's legs and not letting go, and couldn't help but shout: "God doesn't let me meet my brother, I don't know how many things I have to do wrong in this life, and how many people I am sorry for!" Angel I am my brother, the history is clear, and the virtuous minister is on the list, when there is my Song Jiang name and surname! ”

In the end, Duan Sanniang was so noisy that she had a headache, went to the bed with one hand, and scolded and said: "This black guy has such a drink, what kind of virtuous minister does he want to be on the list, even if he is on the list, and I will be crowned a prince as a woman!" ”

All the heroes in Dengzhou, only today did they know that she and Han Wuhe were separated, and they smacked their tongues one by one, and at this moment, they heard her fierce words, and everyone else just laughed at it, but the "mother worm" Gu sister-in-law heard it in her heart, and her eyes were shining for a while, staring at Duan Sanniang and secretly thinking: If you talk about figure and strength, will my sister-in-law Gu lose this mother-in-law? If she is a prince? Can't my sister-in-law Gu seal it? ”

"Xiao Wei Chi" Sun Xin saw that his wife's cheeks were red and her eyes were blurred, and she bit her lip from time to time.

This is exactly: the floating boat enlightens the road to Dengzhou, and the heaven and earth have feelings to awaken their hearts. In the past life, the golden bottle was poisoned and drunk, and the jade with the python robe is new in this life.
