Three Kingdoms: Peak Summons

Chapter 1406: Ally with Song Jiang

Chapter 1404: Ally with Song Jiang

 Afterwards, Li Jing found Taishi Ci alone, and after having a friendly meeting with him, he gained a deeper understanding of Taishi Ci.

"General Taishi Ci, are you willing to serve Duke Qin and the imperial court?" Li Jingyi asked seriously.

Tai Shici didn't even think about it and said decisively: "The general will naturally be willing to serve the imperial court."

Li Jing shook his head when he heard this, and Taishi Ci also showed doubts. Li Jingzai said again: "Let me put it another way, General Taishi Ci, are you willing to serve Duke Qin or the imperial court?"

 “Huh? Does it make a difference?”

Tai Shici frowned and said, in his mind, Qin Gong was the imperial court, and the imperial court was Qin Hao. There was no difference between the two.

 “There is a difference.” Li Jing said solemnly.

 There is not much difference between serving Qin Hao and serving the imperial court, but there is a big difference in essence.

To serve Qin Hao is to be loyal to Qin Hao personally, while to serve the imperial court is to be loyal to the Han Dynasty. The two are completely opposite.

Taishi Ci also realized the meaning of Li Jing's words. He didn't have much sense of belonging to the Han Dynasty, otherwise he would not have abandoned Liu Yao and joined Sun Ce in the original history. He respected battlefield heroes like Qin Hao even more, so after some reflection He said decisively: "The final general is willing to serve Qin Hao."

Li Jing couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and said with a smile: "From now on, everyone will be colleagues."

 After completely conquering Taishi Ci, with the support of Kong Rong and Taishi Ci, Li Jing naturally had no resistance to his political actions in the Beihai Navy.

Li Jing was training the army while selecting elites, and asked them to put on the new equipment he brought. At the same time, he separated the Beihai cavalry and integrated them into the Huben camp that came with him.

 In short, everything in Beihai County and Beihai Navy is developing in a good direction.

At the same time, Fu Nian, who was ordered to go to Liangshan as an envoy, also met Song Jiang as he wished, but Liangshan's attitude towards him seemed a little different from what he expected.

 “Welcome the envoy.”

He said he would welcome Fu Nian, but what he could do was use rows of swords and guns to welcome Fu Nian, the envoy.

 This is a show of force?

This thought flashed through Fu Nian's mind, and he also wanted to understand why Song Jiang wanted to show off his power. It was just to show off his momentum first, hoping to gain more benefits from future alliances.

　　It’s quite a beautiful thought.

Fu Nian sneered in his heart. If he backed down this time, Beihai would naturally be a little less powerful than Liangshan after the two sides formed an alliance, but he would not let Song Jiang get his way.

Fu Nian stepped lightly on the ground with his right foot, and immediately the inner energy around his body surged rapidly, and in an instant it was woven into a gauze garment of inner energy, and the master's aura was immediately revealed.

 “He, he is actually a sect master?”

"How can this be?"

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　…

Everyone in Liangshan couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. They must know that the only master master in the entire Liangshan Army was Lu Junyi. As a result, even the envoys sent by the Qin Army were masters.

With their spears and swords raised high, the queue that was paving the way looked at Fu Nian with awe, and involuntarily stepped back to make way for a path, while Fu Nian strode into the Juyi Hall with a big smile. Fu Nian was one of Qin Hao's rare talents with both civil and military skills. Fu Nian, who was born in Confucianism, reached the level of a master in his thirties. He also represented Confucianism in the Hundred Schools Conference. Naturally, it was impossible for him to be fooled by Song Jiang's small skills. The method was frightening.

In the Juyi Hall, Song Jiang and the other leaders looked a little embarrassed. They wanted to use their power to frustrate the Qin envoys, but they did not expect that the envoys sent by the Qin army were actually masters.

My family knows their own affairs, and the only master master in Liangshan is Lu Junyi. As a result, any envoy the Qin army shoots is a master.

Has the Qin army become so extravagant that even their masters can only serve as envoys?

 This is of course impossible.

Fu Nian is just an exception, and there are only two special people like him, Fu Nian and Pei Ju, in the Qin army.

When Song Jiang was thinking about how to deal with this grand envoy of the Qin Army, he saw Fu Nian quickly stepping into the Juyi Hall, and then took out the imperial edict and shouted loudly: "Here is the imperial edict. Song Jiang and Song Gongming will come to receive the edict soon." ”

Song Jiang was suddenly shocked. He only thought that Li Jingxian's envoy came to form an alliance. He did not expect that the envoy actually carried an imperial edict, so he immediately ran down from the main seat, knelt on the ground and worshiped: "Song Jiang is here."

Even the boss, Song Jiang, knelt down. Naturally, the other leaders in Liangshan did not dare to stand, so they all knelt down with Song Jiang to receive the order.

"He was the governor of Song Jiang in Liangshan. He made great contributions to the fight against Dong by the princes and defeated the rebel Huang Chao several times. He is now named Marquis of Liang, governor of Donglai, and general of Zhendong...I admire him."

 After listening to Fu Nian’s reading, Song Jiang couldn’t help but show surprise and excitement.

Since he came to Zhao'an and surrendered to the imperial court, Song Jiang fought **** battles for the imperial court, sacrificing tens of thousands of troops, and made countless contributions. But so far, his official position is only the prefect of Liangshan, and a general with some miscellaneous titles.

You must know that there is no Liangshan County in Qingzhou, and the so-called Liangshan County was built bit by bit by Song Jiang from scratch. The court never gave Song Jiang anything.

From this it can be seen that the attitude of the Han Dynasty towards surrendered generals like Song Jiang was very bad. They would say nice things to you when you wanted to use him, but they would just kick him away when you were not using him.

When Dong Zhuo was in chaos, in order to divide the princes, he gave Song Jiang a title of Duke, but Song Jiang did not dare to accept him.

 Those who accepted Dong Zhuo's enfeoffment, so far, except for Huang Chao, no one has had a good end.

Song Jiang was a thief and had a bad reputation. If he were to accept Dong Zhuo's canonization, it would be no different from seeking death in his eyes, and Yuan Shao would definitely use this as an excuse to annex him.

Therefore, although Song Jiang was a prince, he had the lowest official position among all the princes, and he was also the only prince who did not have a title along the way.

Now, in order to win over Song Jiang, Qin Hao not only gave him the title of Marquis, but also gave him the title of Donglai Prefect, and the Zhendong General was a fourth-rank general, which was much higher than the previous miscellaneous generals.

Let's put it this way, although Qin Hao's reward to Song Jiang this time cannot bring practical benefits, it has given Song Jiang great justice, and this is something that everyone in Liangshan is eager for.

Song Jiang suppressed the excitement in his heart and said in a trembling voice: "Song Jiang accepts the edict." Then he took the edict from Fu Nian.

With this canonization in mind, the subsequent alliance negotiations between Fu Nian and Song Jiang naturally went very smoothly, and Beihai and Liangshan directly reached an alliance.

Under Fu Nian's efforts, Song Jiang even made a promise that if Yuan Shao and Huang Chao invaded at the same time, Liangshan would block Yuan Shao's journey for at least a month for Beihai, and Beihai would pay Liangshan 100,000 stones for grain and grass, and money. Ten million, twenty thousand swords, and one thousand sets of armor...as the price for sending troops.

I was delayed by some personal matters today. I will definitely update it tomorrow.
