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

Chapter 566: Song Jiang's version of giving up military power over a cup of wine [3 more]

"What did you say?"

In Zhaode Mansion, Shan Shiqi widened his eyes in surprise:

"Tang Bin declared independence?"

The ten generals under Shan Shiqi's command, Sun Qi, Ye Sheng, Jin Ding, Huang Yue, Leng Ning, Dai Mei, Weng Kui, Yang Chun, Niu Geng, and Cai Ze, were all discussing the matter.

When they heard Shan Shiqi's question, everyone nodded in agreement.

At that time, Shan Shiqi had an idea, and he touched his nose and fell into deep thought.

"General!"

Sun Qi's voice pulled Shan Shiqi out of his thoughts:
"what should we do?"

Shan Shiqi was startled: "What, what should we do?"

Niu Geng was anxious: "General, Tang Bin has become independent, are we just going to sit and watch?"

Shan Shiqi frowned:
"What do you mean?
"If he becomes independent, does that mean we should also become independent?"

Niu Geng was stunned: "No, General, you misunderstood!

"I mean, we don't fight him..."

"Oh--"

Those with quicker brains couldn't help but let out a cry of understanding.

It's over!

Shan Shiqi's face turned red:
exposed!
"General, please forgive me for being blunt!"

Jin Ding stood up and said:

"That guy Song Jiang has been trying to take away the military power!

"He has secretly contacted us in the past few days, and we have reported all of this to you!

"He went so far as to say that. Is the general just going to tolerate this?"

Sun Qi said:
"We are the only state left in Jin State!

"Now if Song Jiang wants to have a good life and continue to be the Grand Marshal, he has to rely on us!
"Without us, not to mention him as the Grand Commandant, even the King—

"Who would take him seriously?"

"presumptuous!"

Shan Shiqi glared:
"How can you say that?"

"General, they want to rely on us and take away our military power. We can't agree to this!"

Yang Chun shook his head and sighed:

"Without our military power, we are nothing!
“When we had military power, they still dared to do this to us!
"If we lose our military power, won't we be abandoned?"

"Since Tang Bin can be independent, why can't we?"

Jin Ding said confidently:

"General, we all listen to you!

"If you want independence, we will follow you!
"Why bother with that fat black guy?"

Sanshiqi hesitated.

He has already seen the public opinion, so he can actually give it a try.

"But if we become independent, the imperial court will attack us..."

Shan Shiqi shook his head:

"We only have one state, how can we resist the imperial army?"

"We can unite!"

Yang Chun said cleverly:
"Tang Bin has declared independence, Tian Bao has also declared independence, so let's unite with them!

“The three parties unite to form an offensive and defensive alliance!

"When the imperial army attacks one family, the other two families will come to their aid!

"This way, all three of our families can be saved. Isn't that wonderful?"

"Yes!"

Shan Shiqi suddenly became more confident.

At this time, someone suddenly came to report:
"The Grand Commandant invites General Shan to a banquet!"

Going to a banquet?

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but San Shiqi always feels that this meal must be more than just a meal…

As expected, all ten generals under Shan Shiqi received invitations from Song Jiang.

So before going to the banquet, Shan Shiqi met with ten of his generals:

"The commander also invited you?"

Ten lieutenant generals: "It's a duck, it's a duck."

Niu Geng: "General, shall we go together?"

"inappropriate!"

Shan Shiqi shook his head:
"Let's go separately to avoid causing misunderstanding!" Although they discussed it for a long time, they still couldn't come to a conclusion.

Or maybe Sanshiqi hasn't made up his mind.

The ten generals had no choice but to listen to Shan Shiqi. After leaving his mansion, they went to the Taiwei Mansion separately.

Shan Shiqi changed his clothes and prepared to leave, but at this moment, several uninvited guests came to his house.

……

Taiwei Mansion.

"Here you go bro!"

Song Jiang, Wu Yong, Chao Gai, and Chai Jin all greeted the guests with a smile:

"Hey, come on, what are you bringing?"

Ten generals under Shan Shiqi arrived one after another. Song Jiang and Wu Yong looked at each other:
Only Sanshiqi is missing!
Wu Yong asked Niu Geng with a smile: "Why hasn't General Shan come yet?"

Niu Geng said subconsciously: "Our general..."

Yang Chun and Jin Ding pulled him from the left and right at the same time.

Niu Geng was stunned for a moment, then changed his words:
"I don't know!"

Song Jiang and Wu Yong looked at each other quickly and saw each other's concern about this matter in each other's eyes.

"I'm a step late, please forgive me!"

Fortunately, Shan Shiqi arrived at this time. Song Jiang and Wu Yong both breathed a sigh of relief and greeted him with smiles.

"General Shan is here!"

Song Jiang stepped forward with a smile on his face and grabbed Shan Shiqi's hands:
"All the generals are here, only you are missing!"

So enthusiastic!

Shan Shiqi didn't expect Song Jiang to be so approachable as a general, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed...

After Shan Shiqi took his seat, the meal officially began.

As the host, Song Jiang raised his wine bowl and proposed:

"Generals, I offer you a bowl!"

After saying this, Song Jiang drank the full bowl of wine in one gulp. Seeing this, Shan Shiqi and others hurriedly drank the wine as well.

He followed Song Jiang, Wu Yong, Chao Gai and Chai Jin and mingled with them, drinking and eating meat with hearty gulps.

After three rounds of wine and five kinds of dishes, Song Jiang finally got to the point:
"Generals, the king is very worried."

I can't respond to that!
Everyone, including Shan Shiqi, was speechless, so Wu Yong had to stand up to defend Song Jiang:
"I wonder what the king is worried about?"

With Wu Yong as his supporting actor, Song Jiang was able to continue his speech:

"The king seems to be a guest in Zhaode Mansion!"

Is this something we can listen to?

The ten generals subconsciously looked at Shan Shiqi.

Shan Shiqi was also troubled. This meal was indeed not simple.

"Why?"

Wu Yong continued to make a joke:

"Zhaode Prefecture is also part of the Jin State. Why is Your Majesty calling me a guest in your own home?"

Song Jiang sighed:

“Although this is your own home, Your Majesty is treading on thin ice!

“Look, the king lives in the landlord’s house!
"The Jin army that is protecting him is from Weishengzhou!
"There are only a few thousand people, and there is no sense of security..."

Niu Geng: "Your Majesty, don't worry, we are here!
"Just tell us how many troops you need!"

"Look!"

Song Jiang smiled bitterly and shook his head:

“I still need to ask you how many troops we will use!
"How can the king not be worried?"

The real purpose is revealed!
Shan Shiqi's expression changed slightly, but no one wanted to ask that question.

But they didn't even need to ask, Wu Yong had already taken the initiative to support the comedy:
"Eun-sama, how can the king stop worrying?"

Song Jiang chuckled: "One day, when the king needs as many troops as he wants, he won't have to look at other people's faces..."

"Song Jiang!"

Shan Shiqi slammed the table and stood up, glaring angrily:

"What do you mean? We are all loyal subjects!"

"If you are a loyal minister, you should surrender your military power and help the king solve his problems!"

Song Jiang picked up the wine bowl:

"General Shan, what do you think?"

[Thanks to Tianya*Hua (15000) for the reward, hug!]
