Chapter 309: The Great Kou Meeting
Sure enough, Shen Ye's prediction was not wrong, and Chao Gai and Song Jiang finally had a disagreement over the matter of Zhao'an. Listening to Yang Xiong, when Chao Gai and Song Jiang met the next day, almost all the leaders except Shen Ye arrived.
Everyone sat together and prepared to discuss the matter of recruitment. When Chao Gai refused, the entire Juyi Hall froze.
"You guys are ahead of the curve, I have something to say to Brother Chao Gai!"
Song Jiang had a polite rather than embarrassed smile on his face, and with a fluttering word, he drove everyone out of the Juyi Hall, leaving him and Chao Gai to have that final communication.
Seventy or eighty heroes stood in front of the Juyi Hall that day, quietly waiting for the results.
At first, everyone was quite casual, but then there was a roar from Chao Gai in the Juyi Hall, and everyone's mood at that time was fiercely arrested. At that time, the major leaders subconsciously put their hands on their weapons, and the wariness of each other was also obvious.
It felt as if if the people inside didn't agree with each other, and the leaders outside would fight.
It's just that later, the movement inside became smaller again, and the tense atmosphere outside was relieved by Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng. Two hours later, Song Jiang took the lead in walking out of the Juyi Hall, without saying a word, and left with his brothers.
The next day, the news came out that Song Jiang accepted Zhao'an, and the whole Liangshan was shaken.
At noon that day, Chao Gai prepared a grand banquet for Song Jiang to practice, but unfortunately the two of them had already been different at this time, so they naturally did not conspire with each other. After a hurried banquet, Song Jiang and his group went down to Liangshan.
Shen Ye was also present that day, and he clearly saw the loneliness and sadness in Chao Gai's eyes, but it was quickly hidden in the hearty laughter.
At this point, it was a foregone conclusion that Liangshan would be divided into two. The only thing that makes people feel fortunate is that the last time Chao Gai defeated Zengtou City, his prestige increased a lot, so when Song Jiang was about to be Zhao'an, there were still many leaders on Liangshan who voluntarily stayed, and Qin Ming was one of the representatives, of course, there were also some leaders of the Chao Gai system who quietly followed Song Jiang away.
This kind of thing is not uncommon!
In the end, the direct consequence of this major accident that fell apart was that Liangshan's vitality was greatly damaged. The entire strength has shrunk by more than half, if it weren't for the fact that the powerhouses of the True Immortal level had retained half, then Liangshan's overall strength would have shrunk even more.
In order to alleviate the adverse effects of the departure of Song Jiang and his gang on Liangshan as soon as possible, Chao Gai immediately promulgated a series of measures, including the famous theory of "robbing the rich and helping the poor" and the great principle of "not killing innocents indiscriminately". As soon as these two decrees were promulgated, they received strong support from many of their subordinates. So, with the support of Gongsun Sheng, Chao Gai began the road of reform in a big way.
Under Chao Gai's mighty reforms, the entire Liangshan has flourished again. Although Song Jiang's departure weakened Liang Shan's strength, it was precisely because of this that the rest were more precious. Of course, Chao Gai was not stingy and promoted many leaders. Among them, the most significant is the illness of Suo Yang Xiong.
Don't look at Yang Xiong's cultivation is not too high, but it is quite valued on Liangshan, although it is stained with some light of Shen Ye, but the most important thing is that he dares to be the first person to stand up and support Chao Gai in that crisis.
I don't know which celebrity once said: "The first person to eat crabs is a genius!" This point is perfectly reflected in Yang Xiong's body.
Of course, the reform is not all good, at least Shen Ye has encountered an unfair attitude. He was forcibly dragged by Chao Gai to participate in the management of the cottage, at first Shen Ye was reluctant to go, but later even Lin Chong personally came to invite him, and Shen Ye had no choice but to receive the order.
By the way, it is worth mentioning that he is now the fifth leader of Liangshan, responsible for assisting Lin Chong in taking charge of the Liangshan military. If it weren't for Yang Xiong's help in management, Shen Ye would have been unable to stand it a long time ago, Rao is like this, Shen Ye also fished for three days and dried nets for two days, and took Li Qingzhao out to have fun as soon as he found an opportunity.
When Lin Chong saw it, he was dissatisfied, but Shen Ye was his younger brother after all, so he turned a blind eye.
After nearly a month like this, although Liangshan's power plummeted, the atmosphere was thriving. The whole person is respectful of Chao Gai, less of the previous saber-rattling momentum, and more of a united atmosphere. Soon, Liangshan's momentum rose to a new level again, and now it is a well-known first-class force in the entire Great Song Dynasty.
Chao Gai was so happy about this, it's no wonder that at the beginning, it was a pity that he didn't say it alone. But now, although there are fewer belongings, they are all their own after all. Chao Gai was also very satisfied with this result, of course, when he occasionally heard the news of Song Jiang and his group a few times, Chao Gai's face would always have some sadness, but it was harmless, and he smiled at it.
In this way, Liang Shan went through the most difficult moment under Shen Ye's "hard work".
On this day, Shen Ye was chatting with Li Qingzhao at home.
As we all know, Li Qingzhao is a poet, and the classic works of the major poets before the Song Dynasty have been involved, Shen Ye chatted with her, the difficulty is really difficult to tell, if it weren't for Shen Ye's thousands of years of history, it really can't be handled. However, Rao is like this, and he often has the embarrassment of being asked by Li Qingzhao.
Just when Shen Ye didn't know how to respond, the arrival of Yang Xiong, who was sick, relieved his embarrassment.
"Brother Zhang (Shen), you are really having fun in this situation!"
Li Qingzhao saw Yang Xiong coming in from outside the door, bowed lightly and got up and returned to the inner hall. Shen Ye was overjoyed when he saw it, and hurriedly got up and said.
"Brother Yang, why do you have time to come to me today, a busy man?"
"Brother Zhang (Shen), you still don't know?" Yang Xiong's voice carried a hint of surprise.
Shen Ye pursed his lips, and said secretly in his heart: "Every time you say this, I'm annoyed if you don't bother me!" Of course, he naturally didn't have to say this kind of hurtful words, in fact, Yang Xiong didn't give Shen Ye much time, and the mystery was revealed right now.
"Fang La is going to hold a meeting of the four great Kou, and King Chao asked you to go to the meeting!"
"Meeting, what are you doing in a meeting?" Shen Ye said suspiciously.
Yang Xiong did not answer directly, but opened his mouth with a slight smile, and his words seemed to be full of temptation: "You will know when the time comes!"
Shen Ye is skeptical about this!
"What, let me go to the meeting of the Four Great Kou, I won't go!" Shen Ye's head shook like a rattle, and he said that he would not go.
Chao Gai was about to open his mouth to persuade Shen Ye, but he didn't expect Lin Chong to speak.
"You, the deputy commander of military affairs, just don't sit down for anything all day, why don't you want to go to a meeting now?"
Shen Ye said to Lin Chong with a distressed expression: "It's not that I don't want to go, it's just that I'm a little nervous to go, I'm afraid of delaying our Liangshan big event!"
"Who said that you went alone, Lin Chong and I also went!"
It was not Lin Chong but Chao Gai who answered Shen Ye, and Shen Ye looked at Chao Gai with a look of surprise on his face. Chao Gai was very happy with a smile on his face, and Shen Ye turned his attention to Lin Chong again in disbelief.
Lin Chong didn't speak, he just nodded and acquiesced to Chao Gai's words.
"King Chao, what should I do with Gongsun Sheng?"
The next opening was not King Chao, but that true immortal Qin Ming.
Chao Gai glanced at Qin Ming and said with a smile: "Our Liangshan is not the same strength as in the past, it is important to participate in the meeting of the Four Great Kou, but we can't expose the entire mountain gate to the air just because of one meeting." Therefore, the people who guard Liangshan will be handed over to you and Gongsun Sheng!"
Qin Ming showed a trace of hesitation on his face, he frowned slightly, and was about to speak again. But later he was stopped by Gongsun Sheng.
"King Chao rest assured, you and Lin Chong and Zhang Song (Shen Ye) can go with confidence, this Liangshan has me and Qin Ming here, keep it like when you leave, and what it will look like when you come back!" Gongsun Sheng patted his chest and Chao Gai made a package ticket.
Chao Gai was happy in his heart, and there was a smile on his face.
"In this way, Liang Shan will get rid of the two!"
Shen Ye exaggerated on the surface, but in his heart, he took a deep look at Gongsun Sheng, and looked at him inexplicably in his heart. Because Shen Ye understood that although Na Qingming's power was good, there was a big gap between him and Qin Ming in terms of observing words and looks. I looked a little puzzled and hesitated.
"So what excuse do you have now?"
Lin Chong looked at Shen Ye with a slight smile, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Shen Ye was full of helplessness on the surface, but his heart was very calm. He just didn't want to make trouble, but this matter really came to his head, and Shen Ye wouldn't let it go. I had to agree.
Qin Ming was sad in his heart, but his face was impassive. When he first entered the Chao Gai system, he also understood the name of Shen Ye, and he knew that he was powerless to resist, so he spoke directly.
"In that case, then let Brother Zhang Song (Shen Ye) go!"
Chao Gai saw it, so he said in response: "Don't talk about it, this time I have made up my mind, let Brother Qin and Gongsun Sheng guard the house, and I, Lin Chong and Zhang Song (Shen Ye) will go to the meeting of the four great Kou first!"
After Chao Gai spoke, no one dared to question it, and if there was no surprise, the position of participating in the meeting was in Shen Ye's hands.
Speaking of the four great Kou, Shen Ye still didn't understand it, but after Yang Xiong's special popularization of science, Shen Ye understood. It turned out that the four great Kou in the late Northern Song Dynasty were Liangshan in Shandong, Wang Qing in Huaixi, Tianhu in Hebei, and Fang La in Jiangnan.
Of course, originally Liangshan's strength was the first place, but then something embarrassing happened, which made Fang La the head of the four great Kou.
"Without further ado, in three days, let's go!" Chao Gai made a decision as he looked around. 5610
