More than a hundred rural soldiers from Qingshan Village have rushed to the Shandong Peninsula. Mr. Sun Mou has also been stationed in Qingzhou, carefully arranging various warehouses and merchants to operate Dengzhou and Mizhou.
Song Wen's business network throughout the north began to operate at a rapid pace, and Daqingshan gradually began to frantically ship goods... Tiandichun, glass bottles of Tiandichun tonic wine! There were also canned snacks, and tea shipped to the grassland... began to be frequent. In and out of the Hejian Prefecture area, there were also ships from the Bohai pirates that quietly passed by the Liao port to hand over boxes of gunpowder and ammunition, and then received things like war horses, cow hides and tendons.
The large area of saline-alkali land along the coast east of Dengzhou that had long been abandoned became a good place for Song Wen to raise horses and graze. Within three months... Song Wen actually accumulated more than 400 war horses here! This was a huge sum in the Song Dynasty. Wealth, fortunately, the vast tracts of wasteland here are unmanaged. Song Wen spent a little money to rent these places from Huadian Zhizhou...
With more than thirty guard posts, Song Wen is now waiting for Yang Zhi to take the Dengzhou Army and Horse Division into his hands and replace the half-dead Xiang troops one by one with local soldiers from Qingshan Camp!
These things need to be taken care of slowly... Song Wen now comes to see a person, a person he has admired for a long time, Song Jiang!
Yunzhou, inside the official fortress that Song Jiang finally conquered... Song Jiang's two brothers were bowing their hands and saluting: "Chief, the benefactor of my two brothers wants to see the leader... I wonder if the leader can meet?"
Song Jiang was a little tired. He had been running around for the past few days, which made him feel a little out of breath... Although the officers and soldiers were useless, could he really fight all the way to Bianliang and become the emperor? He had nothing to lose and was crazy... relying on These dozens of confidants and more than 300 minions are not enough for the Imperial Forbidden Army Camp in the capital to come out and trample them all!
"Da Lang Er Lang...what kind of benefactor? What are you doing here to see me?"
Wu Dalang and Wu Erlang were the most valiant and skillful infantry generals under Song Jiang. He originally killed officials and rebelled against him, but privately he had a deep friendship with Lu Zhishen, a monk from the Western Army.
"The commander of the military camp in Daqingshan, west of Beijing, Mr. Song Wen and Song Langjun!"
"What? Officers and soldiers!"
A short thief on the side scolded: "Wu Da Wu Er, what do you brothers mean by this? We have been killing officials and rebelling and living freely. What's the point of you leading the troops back?"
Wu Erlang frowned and shouted: "Who knows the heroes of the Tokyo Bianliang Jianghu? Song Wen and Song Lang Junyi Bo Yuntian is a first-class hero! Over the years, countless people have received his favor, and what about the officers and soldiers? Then It was the military stronghold that Song Langjun led with his son Lang to maintain the peace of the village and suppress the bandits... If Song Langjun hadn't come to help me, I, Wu Erlang, would have died on the road long ago!"
Song Jiang is in his forties, with a dark complexion and a gold seal... He is not short in stature, and he has a slim waist. At first glance, he looks like a martial arts practitioner.
Song Jiang sighed when he heard this... "Then where is Mr. Song now?"
Wu Erlang cupped his hands and said: "Song Langjun said that he wanted to meet the heroic leader Song who dominates Jingdong. Nothing else."
Song Jiang secretly curled his lips...Nothing? What are you doing here? I, a traitor to the imperial court, have nothing to show for my face.
Song Jiang looked at Wu Erlang, who was extremely brave, and a flash of realization flashed in his heart... This Song Wen, I'm afraid he came down for these men like me! Why, I haven't reached the end of my rope yet, and you want to poach me? Already?
In fact, when he learned that Gongsun Sheng, also known as Yunlong Taoist, nicknamed Ruyunlong, had left, Song Wen knew that Song Jiang had no way out. But out of respect or curiosity for this group of historical figures... Song Wen still wanted to see them.
What kind of person is Song Jiang!
The hall was brightly lit, and Song Jiang cheered up and sat at the front seat. On both sides were his brothers of life and death who he had killed along the way. On his left was a sallow-faced scholar, and on his right was a tutu dressed as a great monk.
The two Wu brothers led a young man in his twenties into the room, followed by two guards with calm and composed expressions.
Wu Erlang cupped his hands and said: "Big boss, this is Mr. Song Wen and Song, the famous and righteous Bo Yuntian of Bianliang! Mr. Song, this is the big boss of our family, brother Song Jiang and Song Gongming!"
Song Wen bowed his hands and saluted: "I have met Song Wen, brother Song Gongming!"
Song Jiang was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly stood up and returned the greeting: "Mr. Song is so polite, Mr. Song doesn't dare to do it! He doesn't dare to do it..."
The Toutuo next to him looked Song Wen up and down, rubbed his bald head and said with a smile: "I thought the famous Mr. Song in Bianliang was so old, but he turned out to be a young man... Hahaha!"
Wu Erlang introduced: "This Toutuo is Brother Luda! This is Military Advisor Wu..."
Lu Da and Military Advisor Wu stood up and also met with Song Wen.
A short man in his thirties with a ghost-like face next to him said in a strange tone: "Mr. Song is now an official of the imperial court. Could it be that he came to us from Zhao'an? Or to declare a war?"
Song Wen glanced at him, and Wu Dalang whispered beside Song Wen: "He is Leader Song Jiang's confidant Wang Ying... He is usually very ruthless!"
Song Wen shook his head and said with a smile: "This leader is joking, what kind of officer and soldier am I? As a Zhizhai, I just want to protect the country and the people, and corruption is rampant in the court now... You all can't do anything to protect yourself.
This is a helpless solution! Song will naturally not make any accusations..."
Song Jiang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly bowed his hands and saluted: "Sure enough, Mr. Song... knows the pain of being forced to do nothing! The water is eight hundred miles away, and the court is actually levying exorbitant taxes one after another! Only then did my brothers raise their flags.
rebel……"
Wang Ying looked Song Wen up and down for a long time, looking very dismissive of Song Wen.
Only then did Song Wen understand that Song Jiang was trying to win over him!
But isn't this what Wu Yong and Military Advisor Wu should do to win over people?
Song Wen curiously looked at Commander Wu who was sitting beside him, and saw that Commander Wu's face was pale and his eyes were slightly closed, with a look as if he was dead.
After listening to Song Jiang's pitiful and impassioned expression, Song Wen appropriately expressed his sympathy and condolences, then rambled on for a while, and finally said goodbye to all the heroes and came to the residence of Wu Dalang and Wu Erlang.
Wu Erlang happily organized a meal and a meal, but had no choice but to have limited conditions, so he only asked for a leg of lamb and a jar of cold wine from the kitchen.
With An Chun as company, Song Wen and the Wu brothers sat down to drink and chat.
Song Wen looked outside the door and asked, "Why do the leaders seem so worried? Are there any difficulties?"
Wu Erlang took a sip of wine and sighed: "After killing the dog officer, we defected to brother Song Jiang. Although we were a little embarrassed, we lived a lot more happily... We fought all the way, and the officers and soldiers were no match... But after all,
It’s not a long-term solution.”
Wu Dalang continued: "Wang Ying and others want to encourage leader Song Jiang to fight across the river and go to the south of the Yangtze River to join leader Fang La... But Military Advisor Wu disagrees, and some people want to ask the imperial court to recruit us. In short, it is hard to explain!"
"Taoist Priest Yunlong...oh, what did Gongsun Sheng of Yunlong say?"
"How could Mr. Song recognize his brother Gongsun Sheng?"
"We had a chance encounter a few years ago. I met him in the Northland a few days ago..."
Wu Dalang nodded: "Originally, Brother Song Jiang was still hesitating whether to go to Jiangnan, but Brother Ruyunlong Gongsun Sheng left quietly without even saying hello. Because of this, Brother Song Jiang has been worried for a long time..."
Wu Erlang asked in a low voice: "Mr. Song, tell me...is it because Gongsun Sheng is not optimistic about the future of our brothers? After the La Rebellion in Jiangnan, we are now having a great time conquering cities...those corrupt officials have killed countless people."
!Why is it that when our brothers are in trouble, brother Gongsun Sheng has to leave quietly?"
Song Wen smiled: "Brother Erlang, is this how you view Jiangnan La?"
Wu Erlang was stunned for a moment, but Wu Dalang next to him looked up at Song Wen and said: "Song Langjun, you are a real master... I also feel that since I have taken revenge, it is inappropriate to go against the government like this. What are you doing again?"
How do you view the uprising between Song Jiang and Fang La?"
Song Wen pondered for a long time, then raised his head and said: "The government has no virtue, and the people have no life... Rebellion is indeed a right thing to do! But now that there are foreign enemies around, it is a bit unwise to start a rebellion blindly for one's own selfish interests... In fact, recruiting peace is a clear way.
.”
Wu Erlang said disappointedly: "Song Langjun said the same thing... Big brother said the same thing... But how can this bird officialdom be convincing?"
Song Wen chuckled and said: "It's not like rebelling is the only way to seek refuge with the government. There are many other ways."
Wu Dalang asked: "Song Langjun, the great monk Lu Zhishen was from the Western Army. Even though he couldn't save his family, he killed the dog officer in anger and joined Brother Song Jiang in rebellion. Song Langjun... Is there any way out for us?
?”
Song Wen smiled and was about to speak... when he heard two Qingshan Camp guards in the yard shout... "Who is coming? Tell me your name!"
A slightly hoarse voice sounded at the entrance of the courtyard... "Military advisor Wu Yong, please see Mr. Song!"
