Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 407 Song Qing leaves the stronghold, please surrender

The scholar who came to surrender seemed to be in his 30s with a handsome face. When he came to the camp of the protection army, he politely asked who Sun Xin was.

Sun Xin didn't sit in front of the army with a stretched stool like a golden knife. He was mainly afraid of danger. He was wearing coarse clothes and standing with other people, so he couldn't tell at first glance.

After being introduced, the scholar saw that Sun Xin was only a brave young man in his early twenties, he couldn't help being startled, and quickly bowed politely:

"I'm Song Jiang's younger brother, Song Qing. Today, I was ordered by my father to lead all Liangshan to surrender to the protection army."

It turned out that the person who came was the iron fan Song Qing, and Sun Xin nodded. This guy is the most profitable one in the Water Margin. It's also a happy job, to be in charge of banquets of all sizes in Liangshan—managing logistics, earning money, and having a certain amount of power. The frequency of banquets held in Liangshan is extremely high.

Later, according to the description of the Water Margin, most people in Liangshan died in the Southern and Northern Wars after Zhao'an, but Song and Qing were the few surviving figures. They even received a reward from the court because of their brother's death. One child was also admitted to Jinshi, which is the real beneficiary of Song Jiang's hard work all his life.

But at this time and space, he didn't have such luck.

Sun Xin shook his head and recalled the previous novel, and asked Song Qing about the situation in Liangshan, Song Qingzao was ready to introduce it quickly.

"Right now, there are [-] people counted on the village, and a lot of gold and silver, which have not been counted yet, have been divided up. Up and down Liangshan, they are all neat and tidy, waiting for the protection army to be recruited."

Sun Xin said with a smile: "I'm afraid the situation in the village was not so optimistic yesterday?"

Song Qing's face flushed a little after being told the truth, but where the responsibility lies, he could only bite the bullet and say:
"It is true that there were some quarrels in the village, but they have all been eliminated at this time. Once the guards arrive, we will naturally surrender."

Don't ask about the situation inside Liangshan now, and the receiving work is not easy to do. Anyway, the fire in the cottage has not stopped, so Sun Xin intends to ask about the situation first before entering.

Sun Xin asked someone to bring up a stool, and sat down with Song Qing to inquire carefully.

Seeing Sun Xin's detailed question, Song Qing also knew that many people on Liangshan escaped from the stronghold and joined Sun Xin in yesterday's scuffle. There's no point in hiding it, so I finally spoke the truth.

It turned out that from the day when we received the letter of acceptance from the Protectorate Army at noon yesterday, a fire broke out on Liangshan Mountain.

Originally, the officers and army recruited by Song Jiang in the stronghold fought fiercely with the bandit group, but the officer group suffered heavy casualties in these two battles, and there was not even a reliable leader left. Dong Ping is a very spineless person, he directly surrendered to the bandits and became a traitor to the officer corps.

Sun Xin nodded. This is not too surprising. Dong Ping was originally an extremely wretched character in the Water Margin. After the rebellion, the first choice was to go to the magistrate's house and kill all the magistrate's family, and snatch his daughter and ravage him.

This is the kind of thing that would be despised among bandits.

This guy was originally on Liangshan, and his reputation must not be very good. At this moment, the officers and soldiers who united Song Jiang under him must have only temporarily attached to him because he had some power before, and they would not be of the same mind with him, but This guy can also see the situation clearly. He simply showed his true nature yesterday and betrayed the camp again for his own benefit.

"Where is Dong Ping now?"

Song Qing replied honestly. : "Yesterday, the fire was very intense. Dong Ping led a group of people and wanted to retreat to the back mountain. On the way, he was robbed and killed with muskets, and he was already dead."

Sun Xin nodded. There should have been more than 3 people on Liangshan, but now there are only [-] left. It is conceivable that many of them are bandits who were originally born in the army. Dong Ping's betrayal should not be said to others. It brought thousands of casualties, and it was just a coincidence that he ended up being killed by a musket, and it could even be said to be lucky.

If he is caught by other bandits, this fellow may even have a share in cramp and skinning.

"So who is leading Liangshan now?"

After some introduction from Song Qing, Sun Xin finally understood: last night in Liangshan Village, you beat me and I beat you, and finally a situation of checks and balances was barely formed. It's not a big deal to fight like this again. Song Qing, who had been hiding all night, came out to propose, and finally jointly elected Song Taigong from the back mountain to be the temporary lord of Liangshan, and symbolically restrained Song Jiang's corpse.

Sun Xin is also quite embarrassed. Once a team loses its backbone, this is the scene, and no one can be an exception. In fact, this situation has also appeared in the Dengzhou Supervisory Committee. The Protection Party, if the Supervisory Council has become such a powerful force now, it would have already started to make trouble.

Finally, Sun Xin asked: "Are the three heroes of the Ruan family still safe?"

"The brothers of the Ruan family did not participate in yesterday's fire battle. After breaking through the Yantai, they retreated to defend themselves. They are now guarding the North Village, and no one will trouble them overnight."

After asking about the news, Sun Xin nodded and ordered the army to march into Liangshan to accept the surrender.

After the Song and Qing Shangcheng said hello, the gates of several villages in Liangshan were opened, and the guards entered the Liangshan village with neat steps.

Riding on his horse, Sun Xin saw that the Liangshan village had been burnt to ruins, and the road was full of the pungent smoky smell of burnt wood. One or two corpses are often seen among the piles of tiles.

The cottage in Liangshan was also located in a small basin on the island in the middle of the lake. Its area was not that big, and there were five or six thousand corpses stuffed in. It was almost impossible to tidy it up nicely.

In the Juyi Hall, the surviving characters from last night's great escape, headed by Zhu Wu, Fan Rui, Ruan Sanxiong, etc., have put on brand-new clothes and waited there. Covering his figure, he showed his status as a puppet.

This group of people watched the guards come to the Juyi Hall one by one. Their clothes were neat, their swords and armor were bright, and their steps were neat. They thought of the frenzied fighting in Liangshan last night, and everyone was a little ashamed.

When Zhu Wu saw Sun Xin, who was just in his early twenties, walking into the village in high spirits, he couldn't help but feel even more regretful.

He couldn't help thinking that according to his plan, they had a chance to avoid this insult, but the next moment he felt relieved, and the nightmare situation last night was finally over.

Looking back now, even those who participated in the cannibalism yesterday almost forgot who they killed and why they fought each other crazily. The only thing they remember is that the nightmare is over. As long as they live through today, everyone will have a new life.
