There aren't many leaders left anyway.
There are only a few unknown earth evil stars such as Dadao Guan Sheng and Chou Jun Ma Xuanzan.
They originally took refuge in Liangshan just to survive. They may not be happy in the court, but that is not the reason to turn into bandits.
Didn’t you see that Song Jiang sold all his brothers for a single establishment?
It can be seen that the establishment of the Song Dynasty is still very popular.
Cao Bin had no intention of breaking the promise and calmed everyone down in a pleasant manner:
"Since you have made great contributions to the imperial court's suppression of Liangshan, your previous crimes will naturally be wiped out."
"I will personally express my merits to you, so don't worry."
After hearing this, those people couldn't help but soften their expressions.
At this time, their anxious hearts were settled in their stomachs, and they quickly bowed to express their thanks.
Guan Sheng said:
"Uncle Cao gave me the chance to find my way back. This is a great kindness that I will never forget."
"If uncle has any inconvenience in the future, even if you tell Guan Sheng, we will go through fire and water without hesitation."
"kindness?"
Cao Bin looked at the general in front of him who looked like Mr. Guan in surprise.
Are you planning to surrender to yourself?
I didn't expect this man to be so understanding of the world, and he was quite a talent.
In this case, I will definitely have to put some effort into bragging about their achievements in the memorial.
Although Cao Bin is not yet qualified to form his own faction.
But he doesn't mind having one or two more reliable foreign aids, not to mention that this man claims to be a descendant of Mr. Guan Er.
Now that he has established this persona, he will probably not be too capricious, and he can be trusted a little if his persona collapses.
So, he stood up, patted his shoulder and said:
"General Guan, you're welcome. I will recommend someone like you to Master Pang."
"If you have any trouble in the future, you can come to Zhongjing Marquis Mansion to find me. We will be friends from now on, haha."
When Guan Sheng and others heard this, they were immediately overjoyed and quickly turned over and bowed down.
If military men wanted to hang out in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, it would be impossible if there was no one above them. Not to mention that civil servants were naturally superior to military generals.
The literati were teachers and students, formed cliques, and punished you as they were told, and the generals had no way to do anything.
Now that Cao Bin is the backup, Liangshan's fate of surrendering to the thieves is a blessing in disguise.
Behind him was Taishi Pang. To people like Guan Sheng, he was a man of great power.
That night, Cao Bin and others were stationed in Liangshan. With the imperial court's 10,000 forbidden troops there, they did not have to worry about a mutiny.
While he was thinking about how to write the memorial, Tong Guan suddenly came to visit.
Seeing that his old face smiled like a chrysanthemum, Cao Bin couldn't help but asked with caution:
"Master Tong came here late at night, what do you want to teach me?"
Tong Guan smiled and took out a memorial he had just written, handed it to Cao Bin and said:
"At this time, Mr. Cao has just finished writing the memorial. Can you please take a look and see if there is anything wrong with it?"
Cao Bin glanced at him doubtfully and said, "Isn't this not good?"
Tong Guan quickly shook his head and said:
"Uncle Cao, don't worry. The two of us have to write the memorial almost exactly so that it can be submitted."
"Otherwise, wouldn't it make the court suspect that someone is lying?"
Cao Bin shook his head secretly:
"This is indeed the truth, but isn't this the purpose of the imperial court sending the supervisory army?"
"If everyone is discussing and writing, then what use are the supervisors and imperial envoys?"
What puzzled him the most at this time was Tong Guan's attitude. He was originally a member of Cai Jing's party. It was only through Cai Jing's promotion that he could rise to prominence as a eunuch.
What does it mean to show kindness to yourself today?
However, Cao Bin did not continue to refuse. He opened the memorial and lowered his head to read it.
But after reading the memorial, he became even more confused.
If Cao Bin hadn't experienced it himself, would he have thought that Tong Guan was writing about Zhuge Kongming?
Among them, the deployment of troops, the progress of shipbuilding, and casualties are only briefly mentioned.
He wasted a lot of pen and ink to describe Cao Bin's calm attitude and command, and even his expression was described in extremely subtle ways.
Cao Bin was silent for a long time and then said helplessly:
"Master Tong, are you serious?"
Tong Guan nodded and said with joy:
"This is the most exciting battle that Tong has ever experienced, that's why I wrote this."
"If Uncle Cao thinks it's inappropriate, I can modify it..."
Cao Bin said speechlessly: "It's up to you. If Mr. Tong is blamed by the court, don't regret it."
To this day, he still doesn't understand Tong Guan's purpose.
If he wants to turn his back on Cai Jing, it is simply impossible. With interests, wealth and life at stake, it is impossible for him to make such a choice.
But why does he praise himself so much?
Could it be that he wanted to put himself on the fire after being exalted?
Thinking of this, Cao Bin couldn't help but feel worried, and planned to ask Taishi Pang for his opinion when he went back.
The next day, the imperial army set fire to it again.
After clearing all the remaining buildings in Yangshan, they withdrew their troops from the island and returned to Jeju City.
The geographical location of Liangshan is too dangerous. If the cottage run by Song Jiang and others is left, new bandits will soon occupy it.
A clean fire is to prevent this kind of thing from happening.
After returning to Jeju City, the army repaired for several days before receiving an order from the court to return to Beijing on another day.
"Uncle, Pang Yu and Cao Bin are in front of the army..."
On the way back to Beijing, Li Zhichao, who was wrapped up like a mummy, followed Tong Guan closely and said with some resentment.
Tong Guan coughed, glanced at Li Zhichao and said:
"My dear nephew, I think Uncle Cao may have his own reasons for beating you."
"Did you offend him in some way?"
"Uncle Cao, a person like Uncle Cao who makes plans and then acts, I'm afraid he won't do anything at will."
Li Zhichao was stunned by what he said and stared:
"Uncle, didn't you say before that you wanted them to apologize and admit their mistakes?"
Tong Guan suddenly waved his hand, lowered his head and said thoughtfully: "Wait a minute, I suddenly thought of a question."
"What's the problem..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Tong Guan riding his horse to Cao Bin:
"Uncle Cao, I still have a question that I haven't figured out yet. Can you ask me?"
Li Zhichao was speechless when he saw this scene from behind. What do you mean?
"Wait, you damn eunuch, this is not over yet..."
Last year, there was a severe drought in Shandong, which gave birth to many bandits. Seeing that the autumn harvest season was approaching, in order to deter the scattered bandits.
This time the army returned to Beijing by land, marching and attacking in all directions.
All bandits of a certain size were wiped out by the army.
About half a month later, they left Shandong.
"An Lezi, there is a case that requires your cooperation in the investigation..."
As soon as he stepped into the capital, Li Zhichao was taken away by people from Kaifeng Mansion before he could be happy.
Seeing this, Cao Bin couldn't help but secretly feel proud. Kaifeng Mansion's ability to have such a fast attendance rate must be due to his own contribution...
