Although Song Jiang was a little embarrassed and annoyed by Chao Yong's behavior of robbing people, he still said: "It is already late at night, so my nephew might as well go up to Qingfeng Mountain to rest his horse."
Chao Yong also wanted to lure Hua Rong up the mountain, so he led his troops up the mountain as well.
A night without words.
At dawn, Song Jiang and Hua Rong came to invite Chao Yong, Lin Chong and Qin Ming in person.
When everyone arrived at the Juyi Hall, Song Jiang had already arranged a banquet.
In the wine room, Song Jiang was wondering: "My good nephew has come from afar to work hard. Song Jiang should not bother everyone, but now Song Jiang has something he can't delay, so he has no choice but to beg him shamelessly."
When Chao Yong heard this, he thought for a moment and then smiled and said, "But for the Huazhizhai family?"
Song Jiang nodded and said: "Exactly, everyone in Qingfeng Mountain rescued Brother Hua Rong and me before, but Huang Xin of the Three Mountains of Zhen escaped. After he returned, he stayed in Qingfeng Village, and Brother Hua Rong's family members were also trapped in Qingfeng Village. Qingfeng Village
But it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. We want to recapture Brother Hua Rong's family, but we have few major generals, so we would like to ask my nephew to help us."
Chao Yong saw Hua Rong staring at him nervously and said with a smile: "I have heard about Xiao Li Guang Hua Rong's name a long time ago. It turns out that he is also very loyal. What can I say to you about this matter? It won't be too late. I will send troops to rescue you right away.
Hua Rong brothers and their families."
When Hua Rong saw Chao Yong so readily agreed to help, he couldn't help but be grateful and said, "Brother Yong is so kind. Hua Rong thanks you first."
Qin Ming was worried that he would not have the courtesy to come in, so he smiled and said: "There is no need for an army of labor to do this. Qin Ming can do it by himself. First, Huang Xin is my subordinate, and secondly, Huang Xin's martial arts are all my instructions. Brother Yong."
Just have a drink here, I will go alone, and when Ke Ke comes to join us, I will also bring the Huazhi Village family members."
Chao Yong smiled and said: "In that case, that's for the best. But now that he is an official and you are a bandit, we have to guard against it. In this way, we will lead our troops and go forward. If you don't come out for half an hour, I will
Lead the troops to break Qingfeng Stronghold."
Although Qin Ming felt that it was not necessary, seeing that Chao Yong was also thinking about himself, he gave up.
But after Huang Xin fled to Qingfeng Village, he ordered the soldiers and horses in the village to be on guard at dawn and night, waiting for Qingzhou soldiers and horses to come for reinforcements. On this day, when he was inspecting various important places, a soldier from the village came to report: "General Manager Qin outside the village
I came alone and asked to open the village gate."
Although Huang Xin was confused, he was a Shangguan and his mentor after all. He rushed to the village gate and saw that it was Qin Ming. He immediately opened the village gate and welcomed Qin Ming in.
When the two entered the hall, Huang Xin saw the ceremony. Qin and Ming sent their troops to attack Qingfeng Mountain. However, they fell in love with Song Jiang's plan and lost their troops. They were captured alive by Song Jiang. Song Jiang also sent people to pretend to be himself and lead Qingfeng Mountain's minions to harass Qingzhou and kill the people.
, killing his whole family. Unfortunately, Chao Yong, the little overlord of Liangshan, learned about it and led his troops to intercept and kill the golden-haired tiger Yan Shun and the short-footed tiger Wang Ying who were doing evil in the city, and then chased them to Qingfeng Mountain to call for battle.
Finally, he said: "I have joined the army in Liangshan now. King Chao Tian of Liangshan is magnanimous. There are many heroes gathered on the mountain. They are doing justice for heaven and doing great things. You have no family, why don't you go to Liangshan with me to gather for justice?
I have to do something to avoid being irritated by those civil servants. I have fought for the imperial court for many years, and when I became the general manager, I still had to be restrained by that civil servant. I hate that the dog official was blind and fell into Song Jiang's scheme, so he easily harmed my family."
Huang Xin said: "Since the benefactor has given instructions, how dare Huang Xin disobey. I just heard about Song Jiang Renyi, how come he got together with the grass bandits in Qingfeng Mountain and came up with such a vicious plan."
Qin Ming thought of his family and gritted his teeth and said: "This guy just claimed that it was not his intention. Hua Rong and others were confused by his reputation, and I couldn't do anything to him. He is the Yuncheng Tiger you escorted earlier.
Zhang San."
Huang Xin sighed: "If I had known he would harm the benefactor's family, I would have killed him on the road."
Hearing this, Qin Ming shook his head and said, "You know people, but you don't know their hearts. Previously, I only heard about his reputation as Timely Rain, but I didn't expect him to be so ruthless."
The two sighed for a while, and when they were discussing how to bring the Qingfeng Village soldiers into the group, they heard reports from the village soldiers, and a group of soldiers rushed towards Qingfeng Village.
Qin Ming knew that Chao Yong had brought people to meet him, so he immediately led Huang Xin out to greet him.
When everyone came in to see Li, Song Jiang said: "I hate that woman Liu Gao. I saved her with good intentions, but she repaid her with kindness and almost killed me and Hua Rong. Please allow me to take people to kill her to satisfy my hatred."
Chao Yong naturally knows Song Jiang's character of vengeance. After Song Jiang was reported by Huang Wenbing in Jiangzhou in Water Margin, Chao Gai and others risked their lives to rescue Song Jiang. Jiangzhou is already heavily guarded, and ordinary people can only endure this tone first, and then try again in the future.
Looking for an opportunity to take revenge. But Song Jiang asked everyone to ignore the danger and fight against the Wuwei Army to kill Huang Wenbing, just to vent his bad breath.
From Chao Yong's point of view, although Liu Gao's wife reported on Song Jiang and was ungrateful, the two were originally an official and a bandit. It was not advisable to ignore the national law just to repay a favor.
Although Chao Yong felt that Liu Gao's wife's crime was not worthy of death, in the eyes of everyone, such an ungrateful person must be killed. After all, court officials like Hua Rong knew that Song Jiang had committed a crime and absconded, so he dared to cover it up and treat everyone
It can be said that loyalty comes first.
Chao Yong had no choice but to say: "Since Third Uncle Song insists on doing this, Chao Yong can't stop him, but he can't kill innocent people indiscriminately. The gangsters in Qingfeng Mountain are lawless, so Third Uncle Song needs to be more restrained."
Song Jiang agreed, and then he and Zheng Tianshou took Qingfengshan's men to Nanzhai.
Hua Rong was worried about his family, so he resigned and went to Beizhai to move in with his family.
After the two of them left, Chao Yong felt uneasy again and said to Chao San: "Take a group of soldiers to inspect Nanzhai. If the Qingfeng Mountain gangsters kill innocent people indiscriminately, you must stop them."
Chao San responded and left.
Lin Chong also felt that Chao Yong had already given instructions to Song Jiang, so doing so would be redundant.
But not long after, one of Chao Yong's soldiers came to report, saying that Zheng Tianshou and his men wanted to kill Liu Gao's entire family. Fortunately, they went quickly and stopped them.
When Chao Yong heard this, he couldn't help but shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's not Song Jiang's original intention this time."
Lin Chong also heard Chao Yong's sarcasm. Remembering that he had spoken for Song Jiang last night, he couldn't help but said in embarrassment: "In the past, I only heard that Song Gongming was generous with justice and wealth, but I didn't want to be so murderous."
Not long after, Song Jiang also came back with Zheng Tianshou, and sure enough he claimed that Zheng Tianshou was angry at the woman for being ungrateful and almost did something wrong.
Soon Hua Rong also packed up his belongings and came with his family.
Chao Yong said: "The men and horses of Qingfeng Mountain killed many people before. The prefect of Qingzhou will definitely ask the imperial army to encircle and suppress them. I see that Qingfeng Mountain is just an isolated mountain. If it is besieged by the army from all sides, it will not take long to run out of food. Song Sanshu and Hua Zhi
If there is no other place to go to the stronghold, why not come with me to Liangshan. I have strong soldiers and horses in Liangshan, and there are eight hundred miles of water to hide in, so I am not afraid of encirclement and suppression by officers and soldiers."
Although Song Jiang was a little reluctant, but after thinking what Chao Yong said was reasonable, he had no choice but to say: "Then I will take care of Liangshan and follow King Chao Tian to do something."
(Personally, I think Song Jiang is unwilling to go up to Liangshan at this time. In Water Margin, Yanshun saw Song Jiang for the first time and said that Liangshan was very prosperous, thanks to Song Jiang's gift. It can be seen that according to the understanding of Jianghu people in Water Margin, Song Jiang was at least half
The Lord of Liangshan, Song Jiang, also understood this, so he went to Liangshan to recruit troops. So I think Song Jiang was unwilling to succumb to others at this time, and of course he would not go to Liangshan at this time, haha)
