…

After conquering Fang La and following the army to eliminate the rest of Fang La's rebels, Song Jiang invited a Taoist monk to save Qin Ming and other dead brothers.

A few days later, Song Jiang received a military order and returned to Beijing with the commander Xin Xingzong.

When passing by Hangzhou City, Song Jiangben wanted to pick up Mu Hong, Kong Ming and others back to Beijing, but he didn't expect that they were all seriously ill and unable to cure them.

Thinking of Mu Hong and Kong Ming's kindness to him, Song Jiang burst into tears and fainted for a moment.

Mu Chun, who was taking care of the sick Mu Hong, Kong Ming and others, was unwilling to be an official, so he bid farewell to Song Jiang and returned to Jieyang Town, and became a good citizen since then.

After worshiping Mu Hong, Kong Ming and others, they went to see Dong Ping and other brothers who died first. Song Jiang led the army to continue to return to Tokyo.

After returning to the capital, Song Jiang led his troops to station in Chenqiao Post in accordance with Xin Xingzong's military orders, waiting for the imperial edict.

The troops of Tian Hu, Wang Qing, Fang La, and Song Jiang all made great contributions, and more than 100 generals were killed or injured.

Moreover, after more than a year of training, Song Jiang has already understood the unspoken rules in the officialdom, from Tong Guan, to Xin Xingzong, to other people's minds, all of which have done well.

So, after returning to Tokyo this time, Tong Guan reported the contributions of Song Jiang and others.

pity!

Tong Guan retired shortly after he returned.

Because Tong Guan retired, Tong Guan's confidants, such as Xin Xingzong, also lost their power.

Song Jiang and his gang were also implicated.

Of course, this is only one aspect.

More importantly, it is because of Song Jiang's origin.

After experiencing the disasters of Tian Hu, Wang Qing, Fang La, and the bandits that Li Yan has not yet completely resolved, Zhao Ji deeply hated those who were born in the bandits.

In addition, Song Jiang has a bad image and is still a lame man. Zhao Ji, who has always loved beautiful characters, is annoyed when he looks at Song Jiang.

This led to the fact that even though Tong Guan actually reported the hard work of Song Jiang and other generals, Zhao Ji only added Song Jiang as "Baoyilang" and brought imperial equipment. He was being given the "Imperial City Envoy", that is, the seventh-rank military officer, and the surviving Liangshan generals such as Wu Yong were all given the titles "General" and "Pinous General".

In theory, the seventh-rank military officer is actually not low. Yue Fei won many battles and became a soldier intermittently for five years before he got a seventh-rank military officer.

Of course, judging from the fact that Song Jiang brought more than 20,000 people to vote, as well as the number of brothers he had made, it was too mean to give Song Jiang a seventh-rank military officer. The key is that he did not give Wu Yong and others a reward.

Therefore, after the reward was given, the remaining generals in Liangshan were filled with righteous indignation. Li Kui even shouted: "Brother, this little official is very boring. We were on the mountain and we were not angry, but we also wanted to recruit peace today and tomorrow. We have to ask for peace. In order to cause trouble, there are still some brothers here. Let's find another mountain to have fun. How about?"

Song Jiang cursed: "This black beast is rude again! Now that he has become a minister of the state, he is a good minister of the court. You are unreasonable and have not yet eliminated your rebellious intentions!"

Li Kui said again: "Brother doesn't listen to me, some of them are so angry in the Ming Dynasty!"

The next day, Li Kui wanted to invite a few brothers to go to Tokyo to play.

But before they left the camp, an order came: "Anyone who is responsible for the head of the official and general who went out to fight was allowed to camp outside the city and wait for the order; they were not allowed to enter the city without authorization unless they were clearly called by their superiors! If they violated, they would be punished according to the military order."

When Song Jiang heard that he was more depressed, the generals were anxious when they learned about it, and they all had their own feelings of rebellion, which only hindered Song Jiang.

Let’s talk about the old brothers from Yanshan who survived the feud with Song Jiang, who invited Wu Yong that night.

When Wu Yong arrived, he saw Shi Wei, Di Lei, Qin Hui, Zhao Fu, Fan Tianxi, Dai Quan, Zhang Kui, Helian Jinming and others all present.

Di Lei said: "We destroyed Tian Hu, pacified Wang Qing, and now we have wiped out Fang La. But my brother had to be an "Imperial City Envoy" and had never promoted us to reward everyone. Now he has issued a clear order to prohibit us from waiting for us to enter the city. I think the foolish minister must have wanted to break up our brothers. It's simply outrageous. We might as well kill the generals here, rob Tokyo, and find a good place to spend the grass."

Shi Wei said: "If you tell my brother about this, my brother will definitely refuse. Now I will ask the military advisor to be the leader. We will just follow the order."

Wu Yong said: "Since ancient times, snakes cannot do without heads. How dare I make my own decisions... If my brother doesn't have such intentions, you will not be able to go back. If you don't say anything, who can mobilize the army of the two dragons?"

Seeing that Wu Yong refused to take the lead, Shi Wei and others were very disappointed!

They really couldn't mobilize the Second Dragon Army, so they wanted to ask Wu, whose prestige and ability were second only to Song Jiang, to take this lead.

Unfortunately, Wu Yong refused to be the leader.

After saying goodbye to Shi Wei and others, Wu Yong looked for Song Jiang and said, "When we were in Erlong Mountain, we were free and free, and all the brothers were happy. Since we were recruited and worked with the country, we were ministers of the country. We did not want to be restrained and could not be appointed. The brothers had already had grudges."

Song Jiang was shocked and said, "Was anyone said something?"

Wu Yong said: "This is a common sense. The ancients said: 'What rich and noble people want; what poor and lowly people hate.' After two years of fighting, the brothers died in battle. The brothers only received a royal envoy. They had never received any rewards. How could they be rebellious?"

Song Jiang said: "If the brothers have different intentions, I will die in the nine springs and remain loyal to me!"

The next morning, Song Jiang gathered all the generals to discuss military aircraft.

All the people of all sizes came to the tent.

Song Jiang said: "I am a minor official from Yuncheng and have committed serious crimes. I rely on the support of your brothers and others to respect me as the leader. Only when I can become a minister today. Since ancient times, it has been said: "If you are not at ease, you will not be at ease." The court clearly prohibits the rule, and we will not be able to enter the city without reason. There is a reason for this. We have many violent military soldiers and love to cause trouble. Once we touch the law of the king, we will be punished with the law and ruin our reputation. Now we are not allowed to enter the city. Fortunately... If you are restrained, but have a different intention, you should first kill my head of Song Jiang, and then you will do your own thing. Otherwise, I will have no face in the world and will commit suicide to show my loyalty and righteousness!"

After hearing Song Jiang's words, everyone scattered tears and swore and scattered.

There is a poem to prove it:

Whoever wants to express good reputation to the Western Zhou Dynasty? Gongming is loyal and righteous.

At that time, he was ashamed to kill Qin Changjiao, and was in the Southern Dynasty and in the heart of Jin.

Since then, Song Jiang and others have no choice but to enter the city and only fight in Chenqiaoyi every day.

A few months later, Song Jiang received an order from Xin Xingzong: he prepared to go north to Xiongzhou and recover his hometown in Yanjing.

Song Jiang was very excited and said to his left and right: "The day we will be loyal to the country is not far away!"

Then he ordered: The army was ready to go to war!

When Song Jiang and his group went down to the Kushu Mountain, there were more than 20,000 soldiers and 108 generals.

The battles of Tian Hu, Wang Qing, Fang La were fought for dozens of battles, but now they only survived, with less than five thousand soldiers and 18 generals.

Who are these eighteen people?

They are Song Jiang, Wu Yong, Li Kui, Dai Zong, Huang Xin, Qiu Xiaoyi, Wang Daoren, Shi Wei, Di Lei, Qin Hui, Zhao Fu, Fan Tianxi, Dai Quan, Zhang Kui, Helian Jinming, Pan Xun, Hu Mai, and a hero named "Yan Qi" promoted by Song Jiang from the leader.
