Chapter 1561 Liangshan Split

 Chapter 1559: Liangshan Split

Beihai County

“Reporting to the eunuch, the spies lurking in Liangshan risked their lives to send the message. Song Jiang was persuaded by Wang Mang to defect to the princes of Hebei.”

Hearing what the spy said, Li Jing couldn't help but frown.

Before Wang Mang arrived at Liangshan, Li Jing had a bad premonition, so he quickly sent a message to Song Jiang in person, asking him not to listen to Wang Mang's tricks and to directly send Wang Mang's head to him.

At that time, Song Jiang was still firmly on the side of Qin because of the alliance, so he swore to Li Jing that as long as Wang Mang came to Liangshan, he would cut off his head and send it to Li Jing.

But after Wang Mangzhen passed away, Song Jiang changed his tone and said that the two countries would not fight without killing the envoys, so as to prevaricate Li Jing.

 At that time, Li Jing felt that Song Jiang's position must be shaken, but as expected, it was not long before Song Jiang was persuaded by Wang Mang, tore up the alliance with Qin, and decisively surrendered to the arms of the princes of Hebei.

 “Song Jiang, a wallflower, is indeed unreliable.”

Li Jing said in a deep voice, anger flashed in his eyes, and he had already sentenced Song Jiang to death in his heart.

The Qin-Liang alliance has lasted for more than two years, and even Li Jing began to regard Song Jiang as one of his own. However, Song Jiang resolutely betrayed the alliance that was finally maintained just because some Wang Mang issued a bad check. This made How could Li Jing not be angry?

"There is no need for the governor to be angry over this. Liangshan is a group of villains who are ungrateful and ungrateful, and Song Jiang is even more ungrateful."

Ran Min had always looked down on the Liangshan army who had a background of bandits. When he heard that Liangshan rebelled against the alliance, he was not only not angry but overjoyed. He stood up and clasped his fists and asked for orders: "General, please lead the army to conquer Liangshan. We only need 20,000 troops. I will cut off Song Jiang's head and sacrifice it to him." Under the prefect's account, let the Liangshan bandits know the price of betraying our army."

 “Now is not the time for temporary anger.”

Without even thinking about it, Li Jing shook his head and refused: "The war in Hebei affects the whole body. Song Jiang's 40,000 Liangshan bandit army, and even our Beihai Navy, are not worth mentioning to the overall situation of Hebei.

 If we send troops rashly at this time, it is likely to trigger a chain reaction, which will be beyond our control. "

"Then Song Jiang's betrayal of the covenant, can't we just let it go?" Ran Min retorted unwillingly.

"Of course we can't just let it go. If Song Jiang is not taught a painful lesson, I will not be able to swallow this breath."

A cold light flashed in Li Jing's eyes, and he said calmly: "Liangshan is not owned by Song Jiang alone. There are many leaders in the Liangshan army who are interested in our army. Just because Song Jiang is leading this rebellion does not mean that they can accept it."

As he spoke, Li Jing raised the corners of his mouth slightly and sneered: "If you come, please contact Chao Gai, Shi Jin, and Yan Qing immediately. Whoever can kill Song Jiang will be the new Marquis of Liang."

After the secret agent left, Tai Shici stood up and said in a deep voice: "Prefect, Song Jiang has the strongest strength in his hands, and he is assisted by Wu Yong, a wise man. Even if these people join forces, they probably won't be able to shake Song Jiang's position."

“If it can succeed, it will be great. If it fails, it will definitely lead to internal strife in Liangshan, which will seriously weaken the vitality of Liangshan. This will be used to retaliate against Song Jiang’s betrayal of the alliance.”

Hearing what Li Jing said, Tai Shici rolled his eyes and said: "Prefect, since civil strife is imminent in Liangshan, we can send a force of troops and take advantage of this opportunity to capture Liangshan in one fell swoop."

"no."

Li Jing shook his head, and when he saw the generals showing doubts, he immediately explained: "Zhu Tianpeng will not sit back and watch our army take Liangshan. Once our army wants to take action, it will definitely attract the Qi army to invade. Once the time of the Qingzhou war was hit, it was not for us to say when it was over. " Wouldn't it be better to attack Jizhou?" Ran Min asked in confusion.

 “It would be nice if it were that simple.”

Li Jing shook his head again and said: "With the power of our Northern Navy alone, we are simply unable to unify Qingzhou. Once the unification war begins, it will be great if it goes well, but if it does not go well, so many years of arrangements will be in vain.

Don’t forget, after the Hebei War begins, our mission is to secure the North Sea and block Qi’s way north. As long as Qi is not allowed to intervene in the Hebei War, even if the princes of Hebei join forces, they will be annihilated by our army sooner or later. "

Li Jing’s choice was the safest method. After all, there was a safe way, so why should he take the risk?

Ran Min obviously didn't want to seek stability. After all, in such a war involving millions of troops, if they only wanted stability, then he would definitely not be able to gain any great success.

Ran Min wanted to take the risk, but Li Jing, the commander-in-chief, refused to agree. Naturally, he, the deputy-general, had no other options, so he could only sigh helplessly.

On the other hand, Song Jiang never expected that the Qin army's revenge would come so quickly after he rebelled against the alliance, and it was not the Qin army who took action, but his own people who betrayed him.

Song Jiang announced the end of the alliance with the Qin army and instead joined the anti-Qin alliance, which immediately caused an uproar among the Liangshan army.

Liangshan Army and Qin Army have been in alliance for more than two years and have conducted many joint operations together. They have fought against Yuan Shao and Zhu Tianpeng, and the generals have also formed a friendship in private.

To be honest, Qin Hao promised a lot of benefits in order to win over Liangshan. Most people in Liangshan thought that they were already members of the Luoyang court. However, Song Jiang unilaterally announced that he was tearing up the alliance, and the former comrades suddenly became enemies. This Naturally, it was difficult for everyone in Liangshan Army to accept this.

Of course, Song Jiang could not say that the reason why he tore up the alliance was because of the throne. As a result, the entire Liangshan was in a whirlpool. If this was the case, how would his subordinates view him?

Therefore, Song Jiang can only explain that no one party can be allowed to grow bigger, and whoever is weak should be helped. Only when Qingzhou is in a balance can Liangshan continue to benefit.

Song Jiang's explanation, although it frightened the lower-level soldiers, could not deceive the high-level generals, because it was not like what Song Jiang should say at all.

Didn’t Song Jiang once cry and beg, hoping that the court would come to appease him? Now that we have finally established trust with the orthodox court, why do we want to separate the kingdom now?

Chao Gai and other generals who wanted to be recruited tried to persuade Song Jiang not to betray the alliance. The two sides had a big argument, but they still failed to persuade Song Jiang, who had lost his mind.

Chao Gai saw that Song Jiang was determined to go his own way, and there was news from Li Jing, so Chao Gai resolutely decided to launch a coup to overthrow Song Jiang and let Liangshan continue to follow the footsteps of the Qin army.

Song Jiang knew that many people in the army were loyal to the Qin army, but he did not expect that these people would waste their years of brotherhood and launch a rebellion so decisively.

 After Wu Yong's reminder, Song Jiang did not go to the Hongmen Banquet organized by Chao Gai, so Chao Gai had to unite with the other generals to launch a coup, but Song Jiang had more supporters.

 The Liangshan split began.
