When Song Jiang heard Wu Yong's words, his heart was overjoyed, and he raised his hand to suppress the indignant noise of the leaders around him, and asked Wu Yong, "Why did the military advisor say this?" ”

Wu Yong smiled playfully and asked rhetorically: "It's not that Wu Yong excuses his old friends, he just wants to ask you brothers a question, do you really think that the Ruan brothers are helping the official army?" If it was the officers and soldiers who were helping, there should have been cannon fire in front of Yabi Beach at this time, why is it so quiet now? ”

When everyone heard this, they were all puzzled, but Hua Rong's eyes suddenly lit up, and said: "Is the military advisor saying that the Ruan brothers are only for Ling Zhenqi, or that Taishan Jun is just for Ling Zhenqi this time, and has no intention of helping the officials and troops to encircle and suppress Liangshan?" ”

Wu Yong nodded, shook his head after a while, and said meaningfully: "Then Taishan Jun should not only have no intention of encircling and suppressing Liangshan, but the three thousand soldiers and horses who helped Hu Yanzhuo are also prepared to suffer a defeat." ”

When Hua Rong heard this, his face was solemn, his eyes were complicated, and he sighed, and said: "This Taishan Jun is really deep in his thoughts, but this is a yang scheme, and I, Liangshan, must follow his thoughts." ”

Song Jiang listened to the conversation between the two, and when he came back to his senses, a sense of anger in his heart seemed to be gushing out of his throat, and after he pressed it down, the idea of "recruiting An" in his heart became more and more firm.

"Brother Junshi and Brother Hua Rong are playing very dumb riddles, and I don't know what Tie Niu said." Li Kui listened to it for a long time, and the more he listened, the more confused he became, and he shouted.

Li Kui's words were the thoughts of most of the leaders around him, and they all looked at Wu Yong, Wu Yong groaned slightly, and said: "Brothers, think about it, if our Liangshan is wiped out by the official army, then in this Shandong territory, where will the eyes of the imperial court be?" ”

"Dulonggang that the military advisor refers to?" General Dai Zong was skeptical.

Wu Yong nodded, and then said: "What Brother Dai Zong said is good, our Liangshan is just the target set up by Taishan Jun, whether we want to admit it or not, if he Dulonggang is bent on exterminating our Liangshan, our chances of victory are slim, and if we don't reach the end, then Taishan Jun will not sit back and watch our Liangshan be exterminated by the imperial court." ”

"The three thousand helpers this time were just sent by him to send them to death, on the one hand, so that our Liangshan survived this ordeal, and on the other hand, the court despised him; Although I don't know why that Taishan Jun is like this, but it must be a big plan, and now we have to be led by the nose. ”

Hearing Wu's words, the leaders of the hall were all shocked, and Mu Hong sighed and said: "Why is this person so thoughtful, isn't it that we Liangshan have no means of countermeasures?" ”

Wu Yongwan smiled and said: "Naturally, there is a word called raising tigers for trouble, we will be this tiger, continue to grow and develop, when one day even the imperial court does not dare to look at us, the threat of Dulonggang naturally does not exist." ”

"What the military advisor said is right, if my Liangshan army is mighty, who in the world dares to bully; Although Taishan Jun is now powerful, let's guard these eight hundred miles of mighty water, are you still afraid that you won't be able to turn over, sooner or later, invite him to drink a pot! Song Jiang left the crowd at this moment, turned to the chair and sat down, and said aloud to the leaders.

When everyone heard this, their hearts fluttered, and they shouted: "Invite him to drink a pot sooner or later!" ”

......

When Ling Zhen woke up again, it was already dusk, the sunset was sprinkled on the surface of Shijie Lake, sparkling, and dozens of big boats were coated with a layer of golden light, which became more and more spectacular.

Ling Zhen walked out of a grass hut, looked at everything around him in a trance, and muttered to himself, "Could it be that a certain person is now in a sailor camp in the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

"Commander Ling is not in the camp of the sailors of the Great Song Dynasty, it is separated from Liangshan by a water, and it is called Shijie Lake."

Ling Zhen looked for the sound and turned around, and then looked at a young man in white who was as rich as jade, leading a strong man with no eyebrows and beard to walk forward, Ling Zhen arched his hand towards the comer.

"But was it Ling Zhen's life that Gongzi saved? Dare to ask for a name to repay the grace of saving lives. ”

The young man in white smiled slightly, and shouted to Ruan Xiaoqi, who was about to go ashore in front of the dock: "Seventh brother, come quickly, Commander Ling has woken up, and I want to thank you for saving your life." ”

When Ruan Xiaoqi heard this, he took three steps and made two steps, stayed close, and said to Ling Zhen: "But Xie Xiaoqi has done a lot, but he just obeys orders, and if Ling wants to thank him, he will thank my son." ”

"Although he obeyed orders, he actually saved Ling Zhen's life, so he should be thanked."

Ling Zhen bowed to Ruan Xiaoqi, and said again: "Who is the surname of the son who dares to ask the good man, and where is it now?" ”

Ruan Xiaoqi said with a smile: "Commander Ling can't see it? My son's surname is Zhu Mingbiao, the family is three, and the one who is called Taishan Jun on the rivers and lakes is, isn't he standing in front of you at this time? ”

Hearing this, Ling Zhen's expression froze, and he hurriedly turned around and bowed to Zhu Biao: "Ling Zhen has seen Zhu Fang's envoy, and he has eyes that don't know Mount Tai, so I hope I ask for forgiveness." ”

Zhu Biao smiled slightly, hugged Ling Zhen and said, "Commander Ling choked in the water and fell unconscious, is he better now?" ”

"I wish the defense envoy a message, he is now fine, and he can return to the front of the battle immediately." Ling Zhen hurriedly bowed down again and said respectfully.

Zhu Biao saw this, laughed at it, led Ling Zhen to the dock, and said, "How about Commander Ling look at these warships?" ”

Hearing this, Ling Zhen's expression was shocked, and he said obscurely: "Ling Zhen doesn't know about water affairs, but he also thinks that these warships are excellent, only in Ling's impression, the imperial court has no sailors stationed in Ji and Yun Prefectures. ”

Zhu Biao turned his head and said word by word towards Ling Zhen: "This is not the sailor of the imperial court, this is my sailor." ”

"Ah!!h

Ling Zhenzhi trembled at Zhu Biao's straightforward words, and hurriedly leaned over to kneel, his head on the ground, not daring to speak.

Zhu Biao helped Ling Zhen up, and didn't say anything else to him, but asked meaningfully: "Commander Ling is known as the first gunner of the Great Song Dynasty, but I don't know how many times he fired a cannon like yesterday?" ”

Hearing this, Ling Zhen was stunned on the spot, and after a while, he replied with difficulty: "First time." ”

Zhu Biao smiled, as if he had expected it, and pointed to the warships on the lake and said: "These warships are all supervised by a brother under the command of a certain man, this brother is called the jade banner pole, and he is the most capable of building big ships, and the ships that Ling Commander sees at this moment are a small part, and more have already gone out to sea along the Jishui and swam on the vast sea." ”

When Ling Zhen heard this, his heart fluttered, and after a while, he sighed bitterly, Zhu Biao looked at his eyes, and continued: "Commander Ling is willing to stay in the armor library as a deputy all his life? Don't you want to show off your strengths like this jade banner brother? I don't want to see the artillery you supervised exploding in the iron cavalry of the Khitans and Jurchens, and I don't want to see the scene of this warship loaded with artillery on the sea? ”。

Ling Zhen was surged by Zhu Biao's words, and pictures flashed in his mind, and after those pictures were still, another sentence came to his ears.

"Commander Ling, what I said just now can be realized, but I need you to join my command, from now on there will be no Ling Zhenqi in the imperial court, I will send someone to fetch your family, are you willing?"
