As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Qing, who was sitting on the side, shook his body, dropped his wine glass to the ground, and exclaimed:
"I'm not going to conquer Liangshan!"
"You can let me go to conquer Xixia or Daliao, but I will never go to Li Gui in Liangshan!"
"You have never seen that Li Gui, he is really a killer!"
"A certain person was working as an errand in Kaifeng Mansion in Tokyo and saw that guy killing people with his own eyes. Even this artillery can't hurt him. He's not a human being!"
Everyone at the table looked sideways after hearing this, but Song Jiang lowered his head to drink and remained silent.
Taiwei Chen was furious, pointed at Wang Qing and cursed:
"The evil you have committed will inevitably lead to death. Now I have been mercifully released by the Holy Spirit. This is a great grace for desolation, and I have been pardoned for this crime. Even if you are exhausted and gutted, you cannot repay the kindness of the Emperor. Now that I have been ordered by the imperial edict, I dare not not Do your best to be loyal and then die?"
"Don't think that you can be an official safely once you are recruited. You must know that official law is ruthless and military law is ruthless. If you dare to say such things that neglect the morale of the military again, beware of military law!"
Song Jiang also put down his wine glass and consoled him with kind words:
"As for Li Gui, I have dealt with him many times. Although he is powerful, he is just a body of flesh and blood."
"The ones who hit him in front of Kaifeng Mansion before were all small cannons. Their power was too weak. Maybe he can block them."
"Nowadays, our army uses big cannons, which are ten times more powerful than small cannons. How can he stop them?"
"And there are hundreds of artillery pieces in our army now. Even if Li Gui can block one cannon, can he still block ten or hundreds of cannons?"
Wang Qing felt that Song Jiang's words made sense, but Li Gui's demon-like figure was always swaying in front of his eyes, which made him tremble in fear.
He sat blankly in his seat, neither eating nor drinking, nor speaking, as if he was stupid.
Those who had never seen Li Gui were astonished, wondering what kind of monster it was that made Brother Wang Qing so afraid.
Wang Qing was afraid of Li Gui and artillery. People and objects flashed back and forth in his mind like a revolving lantern, comparing each other.
In the end, he still felt that Li Gui was more terrifying.
Although the artillery thing is also very scary, after hitting him a hundred times, he was still sitting here, but if Li Gui swung the ax and gave him a blow... his neck suddenly felt cold.
When Lieutenant Chen saw that Wang Qing was stunned but refused to admit his mistake and apologize, he became even more angry and continued to curse:
"Damn thieves!"
"Are you dissatisfied with the imperial court by making such a dead look?"
"Does Mo Feier still want to rebel and cause chaos?"
When Wang Qing was scolded by him, his eyes narrowed, his heart became angry, and he cursed back:
"Grandpa accepted this offer because he wanted to find a way out!"
"You guys, these bandanas, only know how to harm people, but they want to drive grandpa to his death. If that's the case, why do you want to recruit him?"
After saying this, Wang Qing overturned the table, turned around and jumped out of the window of the restaurant, rushed to the stable, got on his horse, and fled straight to the north gate.
He moved so fast that Song Jiang didn't take precautions and couldn't stop him.
Some of the other generals could have stopped Wang Qing, but before reaching out, they thought of brotherhood and slowed down a little, allowing Wang Qing to run away.
Not to mention that after Wang Qing left the city, he did not dare to stay in the Song Dynasty, so he simply took his people to surrender to the Liao Kingdom and lured the Liao army into invaders.
Speaking of Taiwei Chen alone, he was splashed with wine and food. He couldn't help being furious, but he was also worried about triggering a mutiny. After a few curses, he hurriedly led the people away. Song Jiang only asked Song Jiang to keep an eye on everyone and prevent others from causing trouble again.
Originally, everything went smoothly, but something went wrong at the last minute, which made Song Jiang very unhappy.
However, he had the city in mind and did not blame other surrendered generals for this matter. Instead, his words were gentler, but it is not clear what he was thinking in his heart.
Tian Hu and others complained about Wang Qing in their hearts, but at this point, they had no choice but to draw a clear line with Wang Qing and swore to Song Jiang that they would be loyal to the court and never dare to have second thoughts.
"Brother Song Jiang, don't worry. I, Tian Hu, am not a frightened coward like Wang Qing. When my brother conquers Liangshan, I am willing to lead someone as a vanguard."
Tian Hu patted his chest and promised Song Jiang with a blushing face.
Song Jiang smiled reservedly and said comfortingly:
"Song naturally knows about Brother Tian Hu's bravery."
"It's just that the tactics of warfare have changed early, and the army has adopted artillery as the main method of attack."
After hearing this, Tian Hu and others couldn't help but think of the overwhelming artillery fire, their expressions suddenly darkened, and they felt extremely depressed.
But I heard Song Jiang say cautiously:
"Brothers, don't be discouraged."
"Although the artillery is extremely powerful, it can be used against an army. However, against a single person, it seems like a cannon to fight mosquitoes."
"My brothers' martial arts skills will not be ineffective because of this. On the contrary, these artillerymen only practice how to fire quickly, and they are relatively inferior in hand-to-hand combat. When the time comes, you must protect the artillerymen."
After hearing this, Tian Hu and others breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little at ease.
But they actually knew in their hearts that Song Jiang's words were purely to comfort them.
When they fought against Song Jiang, it was not that they did not send generals to rush into the formation with the intention of destroying the artillery. However, the generals were able to rush to the front of the formation, but the carefully selected death squad soldiers collapsed halfway and could not reach the front of the formation at all.
Without the protection of soldiers, no matter how tyrannical a military commander is when faced with thousands of troops, he has no choice but to flee.
Song Jiang looked solemnly and said:
"I have fought with that Li Gui many times, and I know it quite well."
"This guy relies on his own bravery and often rushes into battle alone to kill generals and capture flags."
"But this guy really has the courage of Overlord Wen Hou, and he always succeeds."
"I expect that during this expedition to Liangshan, Li Gui will definitely come to charge again. Then Song's life will have to be taken care of by your brothers."
Everyone hurriedly expressed their loyalty to Song Jiang.
"Brother, don't worry. As long as we and our brothers are still alive, we will never let that Li Gui hurt my brother."
Song Jiang nodded with satisfaction, hesitated for a moment, and finally said:
"That Li Gui is very powerful, and he also has special skills. He is invulnerable to weapons and bullets, and is invulnerable to fire and water."
"Brothers, when you have time, you might as well discuss how to surround and kill him."
After hearing this, everyone in Tian Hu looked at each other and asked in a sly voice:
"Isn't the idea of invulnerability just something that the Liangshan Hus boasted about to boost his own self-worth?"
"Is there really someone in this world who is invulnerable?"
As they spoke, everyone looked at Qiao Daoqing next to them. They saw Qiao Daoqing frowning and shaking his head in disbelief.
"What I practice is the righteous Dharma on Kongtong Mountain. It's not invulnerable. Is it possible that what Li Gui has learned is still better than mine?"
"In my opinion, this Li Gui probably learned some evil and crooked skills somewhere. This invulnerability may only be due to water, or there are obvious flaws, or there is a time limit."
After everyone listened, they nodded in agreement.
"Yes, if this guy is really that powerful, why bother fighting him? Just let him slaughter you!"
Even Song Jiang, who had seen Li Gui fight, also became dubious.
But it happened that Gongsun Sheng had already "returned to Bianliang" before his army entered Bianliang. He had no trustworthy magic masters around him to consult, and it was impossible to write these things in the heavenly book. Everything depended on guesswork. , very unsure.
"Then I would like to ask Taoist Master Qiao, how to break Li Gui's evil spell?"
Qiao Daoqing smiled proudly and said confidently:
"There is a method that will make the sky dark and the earth dark when the general comes out, and the people inside can't move. When the time comes, they will naturally be captured."
After hearing this, Song Jiang secretly shook his head and advised:
"Taoist Priest, don't underestimate Li Gui. Mr. Gongsun, who was in our army before, was a disciple of Erxian Shanluo Zhenren. He had mastered the Five Thunder Methods, but he couldn't be defeated."
When Qiao Daoqing was traveling down the mountain in his early years, he went to Erxian Mountain to visit Taoism, but was turned away by Master Na Luo. Now when he heard that Song Jiang was comparing Master Luo's disciples to him, he felt unhappy and immediately banged the table and shouted road:
"Doctor Song, if you don't believe me, we can let the soldiers try it out. Looking at the room full of generals, who can break free from the shackles of my spell!"
Song Jiang said:
"That Li Gui's bravery is rare in the world. You can control the generals in the house, but you may not be able to control him!"
"He is so powerful that he can easily break free even if he is tied up with ropes and chains. The best way is to kill him on the spot."
"Li Gui, this thief, only wants death, not life!"
Qiao Daoqing's expression suddenly changed and he shouted:
"Doctor Song, please don't provoke me!"
"The magic in this world is nothing more than the five elements' creation and restraint. As long as you find the heel, it can be broken naturally!"
"If he uses the golden method, I will burn him with raging flames!"
"If he uses wooden methods, I have my own magical weapons to restrain him!"
"If he uses water, I can move mountains and fill the sea to suppress it!"
"If he uses fire, I will summon a vast ocean to cover him!"
"If he uses earthly methods, I will strike him with divine thunder!"
"The illusion skills I have cultivated are all five elements, and I can conquer the world without any resistance!"
"If it weren't for the fact that your artillery's attack range is too wide, it actually reaches a distance of more than ten miles, which is far beyond the range of my spells. I'm afraid we still don't know who will be defeated!"
Seeing that he was confident and confident, Song Jiang believed him. Not only was he not angry, but he was extremely happy. He stood up and poured the wine himself, held it in both hands and brought it to Qiao Daoqing, apologizing:
"Song Jiang is mortal in body and does not know Taoist Immortal Dharma. Please don't be offended by Taoist Priest."
"I also ask the Taoist Master, for the sake of all the people in the world, to help Song Jiang capture and kill the thief Li Gui who has brought disaster to the country and the people."
"When the work is completed, Song Jiang will definitely ask for credit for the Taoist Master in front of the saint."
Qiao Daoqing got up the steps, and his anger disappeared immediately. He raised his glass and drank with Song Jiang.
The two parties are attentive to each other, and naturally become more and more congenial. It is a banquet where the guest and host enjoy themselves.
After the banquet, Song Jiang said goodbye to everyone. After returning to the camp, he still felt uneasy, so he took out pen and ink again, wrote a letter, and asked Dai Zong to quickly send it to Gongsun Sheng in Erxian Mountain.
In this letter, Song Jiang prepared a detailed statement, deeply talked about his brotherhood, explained that the conquest of Liangshan was imminent, and invited him to come down again to help.
