"Why retreat and not come forward to support!"
Lu Junyi looked at Song Jiang and Chao Gai angrily and shouted. Qinbei Pavilion
"Lu Junyi, the enemy has a numerical advantage and is swooping down. How can we block it?"
Chao Gai looked at Lu Junyi unceremoniously and said.
Lu Junyi's tone made everyone around Song Jiang and Chao Gai look bad. No matter how good Lu Junyi was in martial arts, how much does it matter to them? There are a lot of people here, so there is no need to be afraid of Lu Junyi.
"you!"
Lu Junyi was furious, clenching the steel gun in his hand and about to move Chao Gai.
When Liu Tang saw this, he immediately stood beside Chao Gai with a simple knife and glared at Lu Junyi, but the others made no move.
Chao Gai now only has Wu Yong, Shi Yong, Bai Sheng, and Han Bolong around him, while Xiao Rang and Jin Dajian were left in Liang Zhongshu's mansion.
But behind Song Jiang, Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo, Dong Ping, Mu Hong, Li Zhong, Deng Long, Yan Shun, Wang Ying and others all looked at Song Jiang, as if they were following Song Jiang's lead.
"Commander Lu, what are you doing? The situation was critical just now. We are just trying to avoid the danger for the time being."
Seeing that Lu Junyi was about to fight with Chao Gai, Song Jiang immediately stepped forward to dissuade him. Behind him, Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo, Dong Ping, Mu Hong and others quickly separated Lu Junyi and Chao Gai.
"If you come up directly and kill the thieves together, Sun Lei will be defeated long ago."
Lu Junyi looked at Song Jiang and said politely.
"Except Member Lu, those are all soldiers and horses of the Daming Mansion. If the casualties are too heavy, it's not easy to explain to Liang Zhongshu, right?"
Song Jiang looked at Lu Junyi and asked. He was referring to the soldiers and horses behind Lu Junyi. Lu Junyi was different from him. Lu Junyi did not have his own soldiers and horses. The vanguard army was all allocated by Liang Zhongshu.
"snort!"
Lu Junyi snorted coldly, accepting Song Jiang's words. The left vanguard and thousands of troops were obtained in exchange for his money and food. It would be hard to explain if they were gone.
Song Jiang then smiled and praised Lu Junyi for his strong martial arts, surpassing Liang Shanbo, and being the best martial artist in the world. Those words reached Lu Junyi's heart, and soon Lu Junyi lost all his anger.
Wu Yong looked at all this and could only sigh silently. After many twists and turns, Chao Gai was completely ignored. Now no one except Liu Tang is loyal to him.
"What about me? What should I do?"
Wu Yong was a little entangled. Song Jiang had shown kindness to him several times and wanted to win over him. One is a good friend for many years, and the other is a capable and scheming brother. It is really difficult for him to be caught in the middle.
Song Jiang spoke like a lotus for a while, which made Lu Junyi happy, and he directly agreed to go to Gaotangzhou to help defend the city.
Gaotangzhou.
When Gao Lian saw that Daming Prefecture's reinforcements had arrived, he happily greeted them in Kaicheng and held a banquet in honor of Song Jiang and Lu Junyi.
"Brother Chao Gai, why don't you go to this grand banquet in Gaozhifu?"
Wu Yong looked at Chao Gai and asked. Gao Lian's banquet would naturally involve inviting Chao Gai, the deputy vanguard of the right route army, but Chao Gai declined due to physical discomfort.
"Huh, what's there to go to?"
Chao Gai said with disdain that those officials were mostly just talking about the banquet, and he didn't like those official matters.
"I heard that this time Gao Lian took Cangzhou Xiaoxuanfeng Chai to enter, which provoked Sun Lei to raise troops."
Chao Gai looked at Wu Yong and asked.
"Yes, it is said that Chai Jin and Sun Lei colluded to plot rebellion."
Wu Yong nodded and said, although everyone knows that this is an attempted crime, and Gao Lian's action this time was obviously directed by the superiors, what can anyone do?
"Chai Chu is well-known for spreading wealth and helping those in need. He is also a well-known hero in the world. Are we just going to die without saving him?"
Chao Gai looked at Wu Yong and asked, he is from the Jianghu and is willing to do things in the Jianghu. Chai Jin is now trapped, and he also wants to save him.
"King Chao Tian, Chai Jin has been convicted. How can we rescue him now that we don't have the manpower? And what will happen after we rescue him?"
Wu Yong spread his hands and said, they have accepted the imperial edict.
"How? Go back to Erlong Mountain!"
Chao Gai said in a cold voice that he had regretted Zhao'an for a long time. He was from the Jianghu, and he only belonged to the Jianghu, not the officialdom.
"Brother, you want to..."
Wu Yong's voice changed and he looked at Chao Gai with some surprise. Is Chao Gai planning to separate from Song Jiang?
"Yes, I am not the same person as him after all!"
Chao Gai nodded and said that he accepted Song Jiang because of the loyalty of the world, and now he separated from Song Jiang because of the loyalty of the world. Song Jiang only saw glory and wealth, but he didn't care about these at all. He just wanted to be happy in the world.
Wu Yong didn't say anything because he couldn't tell Chao Gai about the current situation. The power of Erlongshan had already changed hands. If Chao Gai wanted to split up the family, what would he get? In the end, it will only make a mess.
"Song Gongming, have you thought of it a long time ago?"
Wu Yong thought in his mind, Song Jiang was relatively weak when he first came to Erlong Mountain, but as Song Jiang operated step by step, the entire Erlong Mountain power had already returned to Song Jiang, and Chao Gai had nothing.
"King Chao Tian, you have to think carefully. If this... this spreads out... it will damage the loyalty of King Chao!"
Wu Yong looked at Chao Gai. Chao Gai was so angry now that he didn't consider the consequences at all. It was easy to accept Song Jiang at first, but now it is as difficult as climbing up to heaven to separate the family.
As soon as he heard the word "loyalty", Chao Gai's newly hardened heart softened. What he cared about most was the word "loyalty".
The banquet at the magistrate's office dispersed, and Song Jiang led the people back to the military camp arranged by Gao Lian.
Song Jiang did not rest, but came to Chao Gai's residence to search.
"Wu Xuexue, where is Baozheng?"
Song Jiang asked immediately when he saw Wu Yong.
"Baozheng is asleep, brother Song Jiang, is the banquet over?"
Wu Yong quickly helped Chao Gai to cover up. Chao Gai was now full of resentment and impulsive. He was worried that Chao Gai would not be able to hide his secrets and would directly show off with Song Jiang.
"It's over. The Gao Zhifu asked about King Chao Tianwang's body. Now that the war is coming, Baozheng cannot be missing."
Song Jiang said with a smile.
Wu Yong smiled. He knew that these were just kind words from Song Jiang. How could the magistrate Gao Lian ask about Chao Gai, the deputy pioneer on the right?
"Wu Xuedu came just in time. The prefect said that we will discuss the strategy of retreating the enemy early tomorrow morning. Does Wu Xuedu have any good ideas?"
Song Jiang looked at Wu Yong and asked, Wu Yong was the only one on their side who could make suggestions.
"Brother Song Jiang, this... I'm afraid we have to wait until the army arrives!"
Wu Yong said with some embarrassment that he had no good strategy at all, and a war at this level was no longer within his control.
"Oh, if the army comes we have no chance!"
Song Jiang sighed and said, once the two reinforcements arrive, he, the pioneer on the right side of Daming Mansion, will have no say.
"Brother Song Jiang, don't we care about Mr. Chai?"
Wu Yong asked tentatively.
"Chai Daguan and Sun Lei conspired to rebel. This is a capital crime!"
Song Jiang shook his head helplessly. It's not that he didn't want to help Chai Jin. He was now a court official and Cai Jing's retainer. There was nothing he could do about Chai Jin. He couldn't get involved with the rebels now.
After dark, Mrs. Gu put down the cooking spoon and walked out of the kitchen with a smile. She had already figured out the military situation in Gaotang Prefecture. At the same time, Sun Xin and others left the military camp. They had also figured out the ordnance situation in Gaotang Prefecture. Got it clearly.
"Brother Shi Qian, Taoist Master Ma, this is the specific situation!"
Everyone reported the information they obtained to Shi Qian and Ma Ling.
