Water Margin: You dog official, you still say you don’t know martial arts?

Chapter 484: Song Gongming is a man of affection and justice, and Lu Junyi is a man of high executive ability [2 more]

"Bala, bala, bala..."

Chao Gai briefly recounted to Song Jiang what had happened in the Central Army Camp:
"Brother, let's fight back!"

Song Jiang, Chai Jin and Wu Yong exchanged glances.

Chai Jin asked back: "Why are we fighting back?"

Chao Gai was stunned: "If we fight back, we still have a chance to turn defeat into victory!"

"That's too late!"

Wu Yong sighed:

"Brother, listen, the shouting and fighting sounds from the central army camp can be heard here!
"The defeat is certain. Even if we fight back, it will be useless..."

Chao Gai was stunned: "This..."

"This is all because of the carelessness of the father-in-law, who allowed the thieves to take advantage of it!"

Song Jiang shook his head:

"The father-in-law is in the hands of the thieves, what can we do if we go back?
"The thieves are threatening us with the emperor's father-in-law, what can we do?"

"Well……"

Chao Gai thought that was not the truth, but he could not defeat three tongues with one word, and he could not win the argument with them...

Song Jiang looked at Wu Yong and said, "Military Advisor, what should we do now?"

"We are here to put out the fire!"

Wu Yong covered his mouth with his goose feather fan and said in a low and meaningful voice:
“We just need to put out the fire and save the food!

"We don't know what happened in the military camp!"

"Not bad!"

Song Jiang and Chai Jin looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

Song Jiang turned to persuade Chao Gai:
"Brother, it's not that we are disloyal!

"It's true that the father-in-law is jealous of talented people. It's impossible for my brother not to notice how he treats us!

"If you are trapped in the Central Army Camp, I will risk my life to rescue you!

"But why should he let us fight to the death?"

Chai Jin agreed: "That's exactly the truth!"

What he said made a lot of sense and I was speechless...

Chao Gai felt uneasy, but didn't know how to refute, so he could only keep silent to show his agreement.

After convincing Chao Gai, Song Jiang didn't even look at Du Xing and continued talking to Wu Yong and Chai Jin.

Because Du Xing lost both arms, Song Jiang performed well at first, but gradually ignored him.

Song Jiang didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did.

Not to mention a small fry like Du Xing, even a big shot like Wu Song would not be taken seriously by Song Jiang after his left arm was cut off by Bao Daoyi's flying sword.

In the original novel, Lu Zhishen passed away in Liuhe Temple. Song Jiang visited Wu Song and found that although he was not dead, he had become a disabled person.

Wu Song said to Song Jiang: "I am disabled now and do not want to go to the capital to pay homage.

"I will give all the gold and silver rewards I have received to Liuhe Temple, and use them for public purposes. I will be able to live a leisurely life as a Taoist priest, which is very good.

"Brother, please do not include me in the list of going to the capital."

Song Jiang said, "Follow your heart!"

Without trying to keep him or expressing any regret, Song Jiang just left, leaving Wu Song alone.

You have to know that Wu Song and Song Jiang were sworn brothers!

Just because Wu Song lost an arm and became a cripple, Song Jiang's attitude was so cold...

How affectionate and loyal Song Jiang was when he and Wu Song parted at Chai Jin's farm when they first met!
Wu Song wanted to go back to Qinghe County to visit Wu Dalang, and Song Jiang escorted him out of the village for five or seven miles. Wu Song tried to persuade him to go back, but Song Jiang forced him to escort him another three or two miles.

Wu Song tried to persuade him to go back again, but Song Jiang invited him to the nearby hotel to drink. They drank until the sun set in the west, and Wu Song was so moved that he called him his sworn brother.

Then Song Jiang gave Wu Song another ten taels of silver, but Wu Song refused.

Song Jiang said, "If you don't accept me, I won't recognize you as my brother."

Wu Song had no choice but to accept it. Finally, Song Jiang stood at the door of the hotel until he could no longer see Wu Song's back, then he turned back.

Comparing before and after, we can see what kind of character Song Jiang is!
This is the case for Wu Song, his sworn brother, let alone Du Xing?
But Du Xing was always hurt...

After all, in everyone's heart, they are the protagonist.

……

Good guy!
The battle was over, Liu Gao, Gongsun Sheng and others arrived at the Jin army camp and were amazed by Lu Junyi's results!

Just now Liu Gao was watching the battle on a small hill. He could not see the details, but he saw that Hu Yanzhuo attacked decisively.

So Liu Gao thought that Hu Yanzhuo was the key to this great victory.

However, I saw it with my own eyes and realized that it was the opposite.

Lu Junyi was holding Cai Qing's head in his hand, and the Jin army commander Fan Quan was also being held by Lu Junyi's apprentice Shi Jin!

What Liu Gao found most unbelievable was that Lu Junyi had a group of Jin troops under his command who looked like his own people!
The extra 500 Jin troops under Lu Junyi, plus the more than 2,000 government troops led by Hu Yanzhuo -

Defeated 80,000 Jin troops!

Of course, these 80,000 Jin troops are the original data, that is, the total number that Fan Quan originally brought to attack Gaizhou.

During the siege, 30,000 Jin troops suffered casualties, leaving only 50,000.

Five thousand were taken away by Song Jiang, leaving forty-five thousand.

The morale of the 45,000 Jin troops collapsed and they were vulnerable because their granaries were burned and their commander was captured!
Lu Junyi and Hu Yanzhuo beheaded more than 8,000 soldiers and captured more than 4,000 soldiers. The rest of the Jin army fled in panic!
In addition to food and fodder, countless horses, weapons, armor and supplies were captured!
It was a great victory!
"it is good!"

Liu Gao was very happy. Although Lu Junyi was not very intelligent, his execution ability was still very good!
In fact, Liu Gao made a detailed plan for Lu Junyi, Yang Zhi and others, but he did not hold much hope.

Lu Junyi's IQ is 33, Yang Zhi's IQ is 50, Suo Chao's IQ is 20, and Shi Jin's IQ is 36.

How could Liu Gao have any hope for them?

However, Lu Junyi, Yang Zhi and others carried it out to the letter!
Even something beyond Liu Gao's plan was done:
Those extra five hundred Jin troops!
This made Liu Gao overjoyed. He was not happy about the 500 Jin troops, but he was happy to have a large number of available generals!

It’s also good to have low intelligence but high execution ability!

Liu Gao walked into the central army tent with great fanfare and sat down on Fan Quan's splendid chair:
"Brothers, thank you for your hard work!"

"Where, where..."

Lu Junyi, Yang Zhi, Suo Chao, Hu Yanzhuo and others were humble, but they could not hide the pride in their eyes!
"We'll reward you when you return to the city. Bring the rebels in first."

Liu Gao waved his hand, and Shi Jin brought Fan Quan in.

As soon as Fan Quan came in, he knelt down before Liu Gao and kowtowed like crazy:
"My lord, please spare me! My lord, please spare me!"

Liu Gao raised a playful smile:
Is this the commander sent by Tian Hu to lead the army into battle?
That's it? That's it?
The original novel has an official explanation of how Tian Hu succeeded:

'But at that time, civil officials wanted money and military officers were afraid of death.

'Although each prefecture and county had soldiers to defend it, they were all old and weak.

'Sometimes one soldier gets the salary of two or three soldiers, or they use the idle servants of others, and pay a dozen taels of silver to buy one to serve as a servant, so that they can get some food and salary. When they are called for training, they go and hire people to do it.

'The upper and lower parts are covered with each other, which is unbreakable.

'The country spent all its money, but nothing was of any use.

'When the time came to fight, I didn't know how to fight. When I saw the dust rising and the cannons firing in front of me, I just wished that my parents had not given me two more legs.

'At that time, several officers led some troops to chase and suppress Tian Hu, but they dared not to advance;

'They just followed behind, running around, bluffing, and even killing innocent people to take credit.

'The people became more and more resentful and turned to join the bandits to avoid the government troops.

'So he occupied five states and fifty-six counties.'

In other words, this is a blue world!

Tian Hu's men were indeed a motley crowd, but the Song Dynasty was rotten to the core!

Fan Quan cried, "My lord, although I am the commander-in-chief, I am just a figurehead!
"It's Song Jiang who's fighting!

"It's all Song Jiang's fault for offending my husband. It has nothing to do with me!"

Ok?
When Liu Gao heard this, he asked, "Where is Song Jiang?"

Fan Quan cried loudly:
"I sent him to put out the fire in the granary, but he never came back..."
