"Military advisor, I heard that you have an old friend coming to visit, so I shouldn't put this on the table and entertain him properly!"
Sun Lei's voice sounded in the distance.
Su Yuanjing looked for his voice and happened to see Sun Lei coming over with a smile on his face.
"This is Sun Lei, he looks really young!"
Su Yuanjing looked at Sun Lei for a moment, and at this moment he believed that Li Gang's words were not false, and that Sun Lei was indeed not an ordinary thief.
In Su Yuanjing's opinion, Liangshan should be filled with fierce and rough men like the black Li Kui who jumped out just now.
But suddenly his classmate and friend appeared in this bandit den, and another young master appeared. All this made Su Yuanjing realize that this recruitment would not go smoothly.
"Brother, this is Su Yuanjing, the imperial commander of the dynasty, who was also my classmate when I was studying!"
Wen Huanzhang stood up and introduced Sun Lei.
"It turns out to be Taiwei Su! Since he is a friend of Military Master Wen, he is also a friend of mine in Liangshanbo. You must stay for a few more days and let me show my loyalty as a landlord!"
Sun Lei laughed and said.
"Thank you, I still have official duties, so I can't stay long!"
Su Yuanjing was a little overwhelmed by Sun Lei's enthusiasm and quickly declined, saying that as an official of the imperial court, he could not live in a den of thieves. If word got out and officials criticized him for colluding with thieves, his future would be ruined. .
"It's just a glass of water and wine. There's nothing else like it here in Liangshan. The fresh fish is the best! It's best with wine. You can't even eat it in Tokyo!"
Sun Lei laughed and said.
Su Yuan was about to refuse when he suddenly remembered what Li Gang had told him about Sun Lei who liked to yell and was good at pretending. Su Yuanjing was alert.
"Is this Sun Lei trying to test me on purpose?"
Su Yuanjing thought silently in his heart.
"Leader Sun, I am here with the emperor's order this time. His Majesty intends to recruit you and others. This time, he specially ordered me to bring the gold medal royal wine to show his sincerity!"
Su Yuanjing immediately asked someone to bring out the gold medal and imperial wine he had brought. Li Gang said that as long as he kept his heart, he would not be afraid of Sun Lei.
"Lieutenant Su, why do you bring up such a disappointing thing on such a happy day?"
Sun Lei looked at Su Yuanjing and said with a smile.
Su Yuanjing didn't expect Sun Lei to say such words, and he didn't know how to answer the question.
"Leader Sun, you first gathered a crowd to rebel, and then surrounded you to steal the dragon flag and attack the state capital. This is a capital crime! Your Majesty saw you and others killing the Liao people, and knowing that you and others are patriotic, you agreed to recruit them. Don't you want to In the heat of the moment, you get lost and never return!”
Su Yuanjing looked at Sun Lei and said.
"Then what should I do if I stay with Lieutenant Commander?"
Sun Lei looked at Su Yuanjing and asked.
"Immediately withdraw the troops and horses, release Lieutenant Gao, wait for the imperial court to recruit him, go to the Hajj to see His Majesty, and receive the official position..."
Su Yuanjing said.
"Haha, this wine looks good, but I heard that the high-ranking officials in the court are good at using poisonous wine. Could this be a poisonous bar?"
Sun Lei looked at the altar of royal wine and smiled.
"This is the royal wine given by the emperor, how could it be poisonous!"
Su Yuanjing was furious. He had invited this royal wine and brought it to him personally. Sun Lei dared to doubt it.
"Haha, how could it not be poisonous? If there is no poison today, will there be no poison tomorrow? In this world, there are only thieves who can be thieves for a thousand days, how can they guard against thieves for a thousand days? If I am recruited, what will I do if they poison me one day? ?”
Sun Lei patted Yujiu's jar and said with a smile.
"Chief Sun, you can rest assured that your Majesty is sincere in recruiting you. Your Majesty is very thirsty for talents. Now is the time for the imperial court to employ people. Chief Sun must seize the opportunity!"
Su Yuanjing thought Sun Lei was worried about his safety, so he spoke quickly.
"Haha, Lieutenant Su, are the people sitting in that cesspool-like court hall all saints with magnanimous minds?"
Sun Lei sneered and said, he is not Song Jiang, he will not be stupid enough to die.
"The imperial court has sent ten military envoys this time, leading one hundred thousand troops. Do you think you can stop them?"
Su Yuanjing had no choice but to move out of the army.
"I was a little worried at first, but after I found out that the leader of the army was Cai You, a sycophant, I had nothing to worry about. Such a useless leader, it's just God helping me!"
Sun Lei said nonchalantly.
"Besides, do you think I can't take down Gao Qiu? I've been besieging him for a month, and he's just a thousand-year-old bastard. It's time for me to set up the pot and stew him!"
Sun Lei pointed in the direction of Gao Qiu's camp to the east and said.
Su Yuanjing's expression changed several times, and a series of bad thoughts came to his mind.
"You...you did it on purpose. You deliberately besieged Gao Qiu just to get the imperial court to come to help!"
Su Yuanjing looked at Sun Lei in disbelief.
"Haha, you finally realized it. I kept Gao Qiu just for fishing. Unexpectedly, I caught Cai You and ten Jiedushi in one go."
Sun Lei said with a smile, there is no need to hide this matter, everyone will know it as soon as the war starts.
"That's a hundred thousand troops, who do you think you are!"
Su Yuanjing glared at Sun Lei and yelled, "The soldiers who came this time are not some miscellaneous soldiers. The Shijie Du Envoys have been fighting all year round, and their men are all elites in hundreds of battles. In terms of combat effectiveness, they are no less generous than the Western Army."
"This is just like what a lieutenant said. One hundred thousand people look scary, but the commander is a waste. Besides, what do you think I am, Liang Shanbo? Your army of one hundred thousand is powerful. If you take it to Yanyun, you can defeat three people." Tens of thousands of soldiers? If Yan Yun has such fighting power, why can't Yan Yun take it back for a hundred years and still give him coins every year?"
Sun Lei's words were like basins of cold water poured on Su Yuanjing's head, making Su Yuanjing's heart feel cold.
"Since you came to recruit me, Li Gang didn't say anything to you?"
Sun Lei looked at the somewhat dull Su Yuanjing and asked, "Li Gang has lived in Liangshanbo for many days. When he goes back, he will definitely give a performance or introduce Liangshan to Su Yuanjing."
"Brother, here we come!"
Wu Song came over and pointed to the west and said.
"Let's go and meet the former Shijiedu Envoy!"
Sun Lei said with a smile.
Seeing that Sun Lei had left, Su Yuanjing looked back at the direction of Gao Qiu's camp. If Gao Qiu could lead his troops out at this time, Liangshanbo would be defeated.
"Brother Su, I advise you not to have those thoughts!"
Wen Huanzhang looked at Su Yuanjing and said, he knew what Su Yuanjing was thinking.
"You have so many soldiers and horses?"
Su Yuanjing looked at Wen Huanzhang and asked, intelligence showed that Liangshanbo was different from other rebels. They did not have hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. The entire Liangshanbo only had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. How could such a small number of people besiege Gao Qiu's 50,000 army? At the same time, can you still be distracted from dealing with reinforcements?
"You don't need many soldiers and horses, just a few thousand people to watch over you!"
Wen Huanzhang smiled, there are not many soldiers, eight hundred is better than one hundred thousand. Gao Qiu's 50,000 soldiers and horses have been besieged for a month. Now they are exhausted and have no fighting power. At this time, they are like 50,000 sheep. It only takes a wave of the whip to drive them away at will. With thousands of people watching, Gao Qiu and others will definitely not dare to come out.
Su Yuanjing didn't know where Wen Huanzhang's confidence came from, but now that he was in Liangshan's hands, he could only do anything he wanted to do without his will.
"Let's go, brother Su, brother said he wanted to entertain you, so of course the banquet has been arranged!"
Wen Huanzhang smiled and said.
Su Yuanjing originally thought that Sun Lei's banquet was just a joke, but he didn't expect that he actually prepared a banquet.
