Reborn Wu Dalang

Among the two Song Dynasty officials, one of them was about 40 years old, with a dark complexion and a little short stature, giving people a very stable impression. [This chapter is updated by friends] If Li Jun, Zhu Wu and others were here, they would be able to recognize this person—he is none other than Song Jiang who fell into Shaohua Mountain back then!People in Jianghu call Baoyi, also known as Xiaoyi Black Saburo!

Originally, after he left Shaohua Mountain, he went to Taihu Lake and fell grass in Taihu Lake, but now he became an official of the Song Dynasty court!Moreover, it seems that his rank is not low, he is an official of the second rank.

In addition to him, another Song Dynasty official in the room was about 30 years old, and he looked very elegant, and he was also wearing a second-rank court uniform.This person is also very famous in the Song Dynasty court, but he is Qin Hui, the censor of the Song Dynasty.

The two sat opposite each other, and there were exquisite wine and dishes on the table, but neither of them was in the mood to eat and drink for the time being.

"General Song, it seems that Liang Shan's secret work sneaked into Li Fan Yuan yesterday. I didn't expect Liang Shan's secret work to have entered Yanjing City." Qin Hui frowned.

"Liangshan is very powerful, and they have fine works here, so that's nothing." Song Jiang said lightly.

"General Song, are the bandits in Liangshan really as powerful as you say?" Qin Hui asked again.

"I'm afraid it's even more powerful than what I said!" Song Jiang said.

"Two years ago, when Liangshan bandits attacked Bianliang, I also met Liangshan bandits. At that time, the imperial army in Bianliang was indeed not their opponent, but it was because the imperial army had not been trained for a long time and did not have the slightest force, so they defeated them. After the imperial court's King Qin's army arrived, the small group of Liangshan bandits also fled quickly. In the past two years, the imperial court's imperial army has experienced countless wars in order to conquer Fang La. The current imperial army is no longer what it used to be. The weak soldiers in the army have become the strong army now. Now, the forbidden army is absolutely not afraid of those Liangshan bandits. In addition, the western army has expanded its recruitment a lot in the past two years. The forbidden army and the western army have joined forces, and there are famous generals like General Song alive Is it impossible to eliminate the Liangshan bandits?" Qin Hui said.

"Lord Qin, even if the Forbidden Army and the Western Army are much stronger than before, I'm afraid they are no match for Liang Shan." Song Jiang shook his head.

He picked up a glass of wine on the table and sipped it lightly, his eyes gradually drifted away, and he couldn't help but think of what happened over the years.

……

Back in Huashan, after Zhu Wu, Li Jun, Dai Zong and others "defected", Song Jiang was extremely angry, and his soul suffered a great blow.Finally, he calmed down, first came to Goryeo, carefully inspected the situation in Goryeo, he wanted to understand why Liangshan was so powerful.When he returned from Koryo, he took Li Kui, Shi Jin and some remaining brothers into Taihu Lake, and finally occupied the entire Taihu Lake.

In those few years, the imperial court's Hua Shi Gang brought troubles to the world, and countless people in the south of the Yangtze River could not survive. Except for some people who went to Korea by sea, some people came to the Taihu Lake area.Song Jiang was originally a thug who robbed houses, but after he inspected the situation in Goryeo, he even learned from Liangshan and began to recruit these Jiangnan people who could not survive. Slowly, his strength became stronger and stronger.

By the eve of the Fangla Uprising, Song Jiang had 20 people under his command, and his army had reached 3.

When Fang La had just started the uprising, he had sent someone to contact Song Jiang, hoping that Song Jiang would respond to him. When the time came, the two would occupy Jiangnan together, and they could even divide the world equally in the future.Li Kui and Shi Jin were very interested in Fang La's proposal. They persuaded Song Jiang to revolt with Fang La, but Song Jiang didn't have that kind of thought at all.From childhood to adulthood, Song Jiang wanted to be a "loyal minister". He had no choice but to become a bandit, so how could he take the initiative to revolt?

Fang La didn't care when he saw that Song Jiang didn't follow him.At the beginning, Fang La developed very rapidly, occupying dozens of states and counties in just one month, and not long after, even the city of Hangzhou was defeated by him.But although Fang La is called a "hero", in fact he has no heroic means at all.Every time the army of refugees led by him harmed a place, the people in the south of the Yangtze River responded to Fang La one after another, but soon, the people in the south of the Yangtze River began to fear and curse Fang La.

At this time, Gao Qiu led more than [-] forbidden troops to the south.It turns out that Gao Qiu came to the south of the Yangtze River to avoid disaster after being defeated by Yue Fei.When he went to Jiangnan, he didn't even know that there was an uprising in Jiangnan.

His imperial army was vulnerable, but Fang La's refugee army was even weaker. After his imperial army and Fang La's refugee army met by chance, the imperial army won.

Gao Qiu was overjoyed, and while pleading for credit to the court, he continued to hunt down Fang La.But outside the city of Hangzhou, he encountered [-] elite soldiers from Fang La's direct line, and his more than [-] forbidden troops were defeated by [-] Fang La elite soldiers!Gao Qiu was also almost killed by Fang La, and in the end Gao Qiu fled to Taihu Lake with dozens of people, but was caught by Li Kui again.

After Song Jiang knew Gao Qiu's identity, he was very happy. While untying Gao Qiu, he expressed his desire to be recruited.Gao Qiu had already been defeated, and he had no soldiers under him, and he was afraid that the emperor would punish him after he returned.When he heard that Song Jiang had 3 Taihu troops under his command, he was overjoyed.So Gao Qiu didn't have time to report to the emperor, and directly recruited Song Jiang as the Taiwei of the Palace Commander's Mansion, and named Song Jiang the Deputy Chief of the Imperial Army, second only to him, and Song Jiang's Taihu Army was also converted into the Imperial Army.

At that time, Li Kui and Shi Jin were very opposed to Song Jiang's decision. They kept dissuading Song Jiang, but Song Jiang didn't listen to them at all, and the two of them had no choice.These two people have great loyalty. Although Song Jiang's actions made them dissatisfied, they still followed Song Jiang. Now these two are also generals of the Forbidden Army.

Song Jiang's army of 3 was much stronger than Fang La's army of refugees. Soon after, Song Jiang's army began to attack Fang La, and Fang La was defeated in a short time.The name of Song Jiang's "famous general" has also spread throughout the world, and everyone knows that Song Jiang is the most capable general in the Song Dynasty.

Not long after, Tong Guan and Zhong Shidao also rushed to the south of the Yangtze River with tens of thousands of Western troops.They are well-trained on weekdays, but because they are the si army, their discipline is extremely poor.Like Zeng Guofan's Si army in the later generations, every time they conquered a place, they would plunder and loot all the gold and silver treasures, all the silk and food, all the women, all the men, all the young and old were killed. , the heads were used as military exploits, and the men in their prime were forcibly conscripted and became the new blood of the Western Army.

When the city of Hangzhou was taken down alone, the number of civilians killed by the Western Army was more than 30, and the heads piled up like a mountain, all of which were counted as the heads of the "Fangla bandits".

For a time, the entire Jiangnan people were as fearful of the Western Army as a tiger, and wherever the Western Army went, the people in Jiangnan fled one after another.They hated Fang La before, but now they hate the Western Army even more.

After Gao Qiu learned of the "heroic deeds" of the Western Army, his heart was greatly moved.He first came to Jiangnan. Because of Song Jiang, he killed a lot of Fangla thieves, but it was only 30 to [-]. When the Western Army just came to Jiangnan, the number of "Fangla thieves" killed reached [-]. Wan, his Imperial Army was instantly outmatched by the Western Army!

So Gao Qiu ordered Song Jiang to learn from the Western Army, and asked Song Jiang to allow soldiers to rob and abuse for three days every time Song Jiang laid down a place.Song Jiang was unwilling to do this, fearing that he would be infamous in the future, but under Gao Qiu's strict order, he did not dare to resist.On the contrary, those ordinary soldiers welcomed this order abnormally. Didn't they work hard to fight for fame and fortune?After conquering the city, the looted property is her own, and the woman can let her old people and children be killed and then start pretending to be military exploits. Who wouldn't do such a good thing?

Originally, Song Jiang's army had a strong combat effectiveness. After implementing such a policy, his army's combat effectiveness became even stronger.He originally hoped to build a strong army according to the Liangshan model, but now he has also turned into a powerful "Si Army", which is exactly the same as the Western Army.

In just one year, the vigorous Fang La uprising was suppressed. Fang La himself fled Sichuan and Shu with thousands of direct troops. Now he is hiding in the mountains of Sichuan and Shu, and Jiangnan has calmed down again.It's just that after Jiangnan experienced such a war, the population and wealth losses were huge, and it was impossible to recover in less than ten years.

The number of the Forbidden Army and the Western Army has greatly increased because of the continuous forced conscription during the war.The number of the imperial army reached 50, while the number of the western army reached 40.Moreover, the current Forbidden Army and the Western Army are much more elite than before, and their combat effectiveness has improved a lot.

……

Song Jiang recalled the past, and thoughts surged in his heart. Qin Hui couldn't help laughing when he saw him like this, and said, "General Song, I still think we can defeat the Liangshan bandits without borrowing troops from the Liao Kingdom. Now the forbidden army is 50. The Western Army is 40, plus some garrisons in various places, the number of the entire army is more than one million. Liangshan bandits, do we still need to be afraid of them? Liangshan bandits, I think they are not as good as Fang La, as long as we make up our minds, It's easy to kill them."

Song Jiangdao: "Lord Qin, that's not the case! Whether it's me, Master Tong Guan, or Master Zhong Shidao, we have all dealt with the bandits in Liangshan. The country borrowed soldiers! This is not just my idea, it is the idea of ​​Master Tong Guan and Master Zhong Shidao."

Qin Hui shook his head, and said: "The current Liao Kingdom is no longer the Liao Kingdom that shocked the world in the past. They were all defeated by real women, and now only Yanjing and Xijing are left. If you want to borrow troops from them, I don't think so." Not realistic."

Song Jiangdao: "No matter what, you have to give it a try. The foundation of the Liao Kingdom is still very strong. Those women are really barbarians. They can only win for a while, and it is impossible to truly defeat the Liao Kingdom."

The Liao Kingdom has been established for 200 years and has deterred the Great Song Dynasty for 200 years. The Great Song Dynasty has a fear of the Liao Kingdom from top to bottom.Even though Song Jiang knew that Liao was defeated, he still felt that Liao was very strong, so he still wanted to borrow troops from Liao.

There was silence in the room for a while, and after a while, Qin Hui said again: "If we want to borrow troops from the Liao Kingdom, must we sever the east of the river?"

Song Jiang nodded and said: "That's natural, otherwise why would the Khitan send troops to help us? They can't send troops for nothing? We have to be paid! Anyway, Hedong doesn't belong to us now, so it's nothing to give to the Khitan people! I think it is worth it to exchange a piece of land for the peace of the world!"

Qin Hui said: "Okay, today we will go to see Yelu Dashi from the Privy Council of the Liao Kingdom, and have a good discussion with him first."

Yelu Dashi was originally staying behind in Yanjing, and was appointed as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council by Yelu Yanxi a few days ago. Now his power is getting higher and higher.

Song Jiang nodded again, and said: "I hope this matter can be settled as soon as possible! At that time, the imperial army will start from the south, the western army will start from the west, and the Liao army will start from the north. The three families will join forces to eliminate a small group of Liangshan bandits in Hedong. The problem. The bandits in Liangshan have harmed the country and the people, and they must not be allowed to continue to exist!"

After talking about it, Song Jiang began to grit his teeth.He hated Liang Shan and Wu Dong extremely, not only because Zhu Wu, Li Jun and others were poached by Wu Dong, but also because Wu Dong framed him in the first place!Since he was recruited, he has understood why the emperor wanted him wholeheartedly, because Wu Dong killed Song Huizong in order to rescue Li Shishi, and left Song Jiang's name, so Song Huizong chased Song Jiang.Fortunately, the news about Li Shishi's stay in Liangshan has spread, otherwise it would be impossible for Song Jiang to be recruited.

In the afternoon of the same day, Song Jiang and Qin Hui came out of the Lifan Academy and went to Yelu Dashi's mansion under the protection of countless Liao soldiers.

In the distance, Lu Zhishen was leading a few personnel from the intelligence department to closely monitor the situation here. He promised Shi Xiu to investigate the Song envoy's intentions, so he came near Li Fan Yuan an hour ago.
