Water Margin people

Chapter 738
As soon as the imperial decree came out, the soldiers and horses of the Shijiedu Envoy mobilized and headed towards Jeju together.

The ten jiedushi are:
Wang Huan, the governor of Henan and Hebei.

Xu Jing, the Taiyuan Jiedu envoy of Shangdang.

Wang Wende, envoy of Hongnong Festival in Beijing and North.

Yingzhou Runan Jiedu envoy Mei Zhan.

Zhongshan Anping Jiedu envoy opened.

Jiangxia Lingling Jiedu envoy Yang Wen.

Han Cunbao, the envoy of the Yanmen Festival in the cloud.

Li Congji, the envoy of Hanyang Festival in Longxi.

Langya Pengcheng Jiedushi Xiang Yuanzhen.

Qinghe Tianshui Festival envoy Jing Zhong.

Tokyo.

"Your Majesty, the envoys of the tenth quarter have been ordered to set off, but the ten troops have been stationed in various places for a long time, and I feel that a general is still needed to lead them!"

An official saluted Zhao Ji.

"What the Qing family said is reasonable, I don't know who can lead the ten-way army to attack the thieves!"

Zhao Ji thinks it makes sense, although he doesn't understand military affairs, he understands the truth that a snake can't do without a head, all ten quarters come from all directions, if there is no one to lead the ten routes of soldiers and horses, it will be a mess.

The court officials couldn't help looking left and right, the official hat with swallow wings was shaking, and the neat court hall instantly became chaotic.

Although the Shijiedu envoys all came from reckless backgrounds, they have been in the court for a long time. Over the years, they have made contributions to the country, or conquered ghosts, or defeated Xixia, or fought against Liao, which can be regarded as a lot of credit.

And Jiedushi has already been a military officer of the second rank, which can be regarded as the pinnacle of military officials, and then there are Taiwei and Privy Envoys. Now ten Jiedushi are gathered together, and the Privy Envoy Tong Guan is not here. Who can lead such a team? Soldiers?
"Recommended by my minister, Cai You, a scholar of the Xuanhe Palace and the envoy of the Huaikang Army, Mr. Cai, who is both civil and military, will be able to lead the army, surrender the bandits, and rescue Gao Taiwei!"

Immediately, an official spoke.

"Cai You!"

Cai Jing's face suddenly changed. Anyone can lead soldiers to Liangshanbo, but Cai You can't be allowed to go. Cai You has been very favored these years, and he can't help it anymore. How can I suppress it.

"Cai You!"

Zhao Ji's face brightened, he almost forgot about Cai You, Cai You always said that he was both civil and military, and this time he just let him go.

"Quickly pass the decree to Cai Aiqing, let him return to the capital as soon as possible."

Zhao Ji declared the decree immediately.

It was too late for Cai Jing to speak out to stop him. In fact, Cai Jing had no way to stop him. There was no one under him who could get rid of them. Although there were people like Song Jiang, it was not enough to face the ten-time envoy. Cai Tao is just a slippery man now. Knowing the state is not enough to command the ten envoys.

Cai You's residence is far away from Tokyo, and after receiving the order, he rushed back to Tokyo immediately, entered the palace alone and chatted with the emperor for more than an hour, and then left the palace contentedly.

Cai You didn't stop there and ordered all the soldiers and horses in Tokyo immediately, ready to go to the front line of Puzhou immediately, and he would enter Jeju as soon as the soldiers and horses arrived in the tenth quarter.

Su Yuanjing was ready to set off with the gold medal of imperial wine. He originally thought to wait until the envoys of the tenth festival had arrived before setting off, but the emperor was worried about Gao Qiu's safety and urged him several times in a row, so he had to go first.

"Lieutenant Su, the thieves have a bad temper and are all desperadoes. Going to Liangshanbo now requires less official airs. You can treat each other with courtesy, which is more conducive to dialogue."

Li Gang looked at Su Yuanjing and said, although he didn't have much hope for recruiting Liang Shanbo, he still had to try, maybe the thief suddenly changed his mind.

"Don't worry, Doctor Li. Since I proposed this security plan, I will take it seriously. Not all thieves are easy to kill. As long as you understand it with reason and move it with emotion, the thieves will understand."

Su Yuanjing opened his mouth and said, he didn't pay much attention to what Li Gang said to him that day, he just thought that Li Gang had little knowledge and was confused by thieves, who in this world doesn't like glory and wealth?

"Su Taiwei, don't worry, with my official here, the thief will not run away, but run away with his head in his arms!"

Seeing Su Yuanjing and the others act like that, Cai You smiled and said.

Li Gang frowned when he heard Cai You's words, Liang Shanbo was no ordinary bandit, if Cai You had this kind of thinking, he might be defeated.

"General Cai, don't be careless. Liang Shanbo has just killed [-] Liao troops in Cangzhou. The soldiers and horses are powerful. You should be careful and focus on recruiting security!"

Li Gang cupped his fists at Cai You.

"Hmph, what do you know? Your Majesty has already said that to the thieves, both kindness and power should be given. Su Taiwei is there to show kindness, and I am going to show power. As for the thieves defeating the Liao people, it was just a fluke. What is there to fear about the Liao army? In the future, I will lead the army to the Northern Expedition and regain Yanyun, and it will only be a snap of my fingers!"

Cai You glanced at Li Gang and said with displeasure, Li Gang and him are several grades behind, and now he dares to question him like this, which makes him feel very shameless. Could it be that soldiers and horses can't beat a group of thieves?
From Cai You's point of view, he only needs to lead an army there, and the thieves will abandon their weapons and surrender as soon as they see him.

Seeing Cai You's arrogant face, Li Gang felt even more ominous in his heart. If it was a direct battle, even if the army was defeated, Sun Lei's character would probably not kill him, except for someone like Cai You. Such arrogance will definitely arouse the anger of Sun Lei and others. It is not surprising that a group of thieves will do things in anger.

"Su Taiwei, be more careful."

Li Gang didn't say much, he knew that people like Cai You wouldn't listen, so he just clasped his fists at Su Yuanjing.

"When I come back, I'll see you!"

Cai You's expression was grim and distorted, he was the emperor's favorite minister, even Tong Guan and others were polite when they saw him, now that a fifth-rank loose official dared to be so rude to him, he would definitely take revenge when he came back.

"Su Taiwei, let's go, the Tenth Jiedu Envoy will arrive soon!"

Cai You took one last look at Su Yuanjing and said.

"Send this news to brother quickly!"

Cao Zheng said to the boy next to him that he would send all the big and small things in Tokyo to Liangshanbo.

Sending information is also simple. Cao Zheng's butcher shop has a good business. He sells ten pigs, several sheep, and one cow every day.

"Shop, I want ten catties of lean meat. Cut it into sausages. Don't see any fat on it."

Ma Lin walked to Cao Zheng's butcher shop with a smile and said.

"Guest officer, do you want to make wontons?"

Cao Zheng smiled when he saw Ma Lin coming.

"What's so good about wontons? Of course I'll eat dumplings when I get home!"

Malin replied with a smile.

"Guest officer, please sit down first, Xunzi will chop it right away!"

Cao Zheng smiled and welcomed Ma Lin to sit aside, then poured water for Ma Lin.

"There is movement at Kaibao Temple, it should be Fang La's order, pay more attention!"

Taking advantage of the moment when Cao Zheng was pouring water, Ma Lin said, Ma Lin and Lehe are pretending to be idle men, and they often go to the homes of high officials and nobles, so it is not easy to take people around. Now the eyeliners in the city are given to Cao Zheng, Zhang San, Li Si is in charge.

"it is good!"

Cao Zheng's face remained unchanged, and he continued to cut the meat after pouring out the water
After a while, ten catties of lean meat sausages were chopped, and Ma Lin took the sausages with a smile and left. As for the money, it was credited to the account of a high-ranking official in the city, and that family wanted the sausages.
