As soon as Qin Hui said these words, Li Kui on the side immediately rushed over and yelled at Qin Hui: "Who are they? Tell me, you little pretty boy, I'm going to cut them into pieces and give them to me, Wang Ying." Brother, take revenge!”
Li Kui's voice was as loud as the ringing of a bell, which made Qin Hui hastily cover his ears and frown involuntarily.
"Tie Niu is so rude, please step aside immediately!"
Seeing Qin Hui's brows furrowed, Song Jiang secretly thought something was wrong. He hurriedly dismissed Li Kui and apologized to Qin Hui: "Tieniu is reckless by nature. I hope Master Qin won't blame him!"
Qin Hui scratched his ears, shook his head, stabilized his mind a little, and then returned Song Jiang with his hands and said: "General Song, there is no need to be polite. This general is also like this because he is eager for revenge. Qin can understand."
"Thank you, Master Qin Haihan!"
Song Jiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then asked: "Since Master Qin knows the origin of this caravan, can you tell Song Jiang so that Song Jiang can avenge the murder of my brother Wang Ying!"
Qin Hui nodded and said slowly: "If I am not wrong, this caravan should be disguised as Sui Dynasty army horses. More than half a month ago, I, the Tang Dynasty, received a secret report that I had married a Turk. Princess Yicheng has fled south to the Central Plains, and Sui Emperor Yang Gao has sent a troop of troops north to meet her. According to the itinerary, we should indeed enter Qingzhou during this time."
Snapped!
Before Qin Hui finished speaking, Li Kui, who had retreated to the side, patted the table and called for battle again: "Brother, since it was the Sui army that killed Wang Ying's brothers, what are we waiting for? Hurry up and send troops to attack the Sui Dynasty and kill the villain who killed Wang Ying." The thief cut out his belly and took out his heart to avenge Brother Wang Ying!"
Qin Hui's lips curled up slightly, and he encouraged Song Jiang: "General Song, what this general said is absolutely true. It is not a gentleman to not avenge one's grudges. What's more, now that you have accepted the canonization of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, you can take this opportunity to meet with the Sui Dynasty." The army goes to war to express your position to His Majesty."
Song Jiang stroked his short beard, nodded slightly and said, "What Mr. Qin said does make some sense!"
"Brother, you must not do this!"
Wu Yong on the side saw that Song Jiang seemed to have the idea of using troops against the Sui army. He was frightened and hurriedly dissuaded him: "Brother, the Lord must not raise an army out of anger, and the general must not go to war out of anger! The Sui army has strong soldiers and horses, and they have fought in these years. We are invincible, and we are invincible in every attack. Even unparalleled heroes like Dou Jiande and Li Mi cannot get any benefits. With just our few soldiers and horses, we will undoubtedly bring about our own destruction!"
Wu Yong's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Song Jiang's head, immediately extinguishing his fighting spirit: "Yes, we in Qingzhou only have about 100,000 fighting troops, and our weapons and equipment lag far behind the Sui army. I’m afraid he is no match for the Sui army!”
Qin Hui couldn't help but become anxious when he saw this. His purpose of coming to recruit people this time was to add trouble to Yang Gao and take the opportunity to disrupt his plan to stabilize the people's livelihood in the Central Plains.
But who would have thought that with just a few words, Wu could instantly make Song Jiang's fighting spirit evaporate into nothing. This made Qin Hui anxious and angry, and couldn't help shouting loudly: "Master Wu's words are wrong! Although the Sui army has strong soldiers and horses, Yang Gao is a child who does not understand the destiny and makes enemies on all sides. The soldiers and horses guarding various places cannot be mobilized for a while. General Song If we can avoid the main force of the Sui army and gather the elite of the main force to attack the weak points of the Sui army's defense, we will definitely win a complete victory."
Wu Yong's mouth moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something more. But Qin Hui didn't give him any chance to speak, and continued to persuade Song Jiang: "General Song, I rushed from Chang'an to Qijun. Along the way, I kept hearing people say that Song Sanlang of Xiaoyi, Shandong Province was unparalleled in his loyalty and righteousness. The nickname is Timely Rain. But today, General Song's brother died tragically at the hands of the Sui army, but General Song was afraid of the huge power of the Sui army and did not dare to avenge his brothers. If this spreads out, what will everyone in the world think of you?"
"Brother Gongming, Master Qin is right. Brother Wang Ying's revenge must be avenged, otherwise my brother's reputation as a timely rain will be ruined!"
Li Kui was a rough man who didn't understand the political structure or the general trend of the world at all. He only knew that his brother was dead and he must avenge him.
Song Jiang's prestige in the world was the basis for his rapid establishment in Qingzhou. People like Li Kui, Wu Yong, Dong Ping, and Chao Gai all valued his reputation and were willing to follow him. Without the title of Shiyu, what else would Song Jiang be able to do if he could not become a civil servant or a martial artist?
At that moment, Song Jiang no longer hesitated, slapped the case and shouted: "The Sui dogs harmed my brother Wang Ying, and I, Song Jiang, have no sworn relationship with that Yang Gao boy! Military advisor, immediately ordered the generals stationed in various places to return to Qi County. I will personally take command and go south to attack the Sui Dynasty. Seek justice for my brother Wang Ying."
Seeing that Song Jiang had made up his mind, Wu Yong sighed secretly, reluctantly held up his hands and said, "Yes!"
. . . . . . . . . .
Three days later, in the meeting hall of Qi County, Song Jiang was sitting at the top of the table, wearing a golden helmet and chained golden armor. The sword hanging on his waist was the purple frost sword rewarded by Li Yuan.
On both sides are Song Jiang's confidants, civil and military. On the left is the military advisor Wu Yong, and on the right is the general Chao Gai, who is eight feet tall, has a square face, broad ears, and a broad forehead.
Chao Gai's implanted identity is the same as that of Zhong. He is a good friend of Song Jiang and a powerful person. The only difference is that he was born a little later than Song Jiang. Instead, Song Jiang politely invited him to join forces, and he became a general under Song Jiang instead of the leading brother.
The generals and assistants below are almost all Liangshan leaders who were brought out by Song Jiang and Chao Gai, including the beautiful bearded Duke Zhu Tong, the winged tiger Lei Heng, the red-haired ghost Liu Tang, the living Yama Luo Ruan Xiaoqi, and Song Jiang's younger brother. Song Qing, the only one left was Dong Ping, the two-gun general who was thrown in and out of the system alone.
Song Jiang looked around the generals and said in a deep voice: "Brothers, I have called you all here because Brother Wang Ying was killed by the Sui army in Zhangqiu County a few days ago, so I decided to go south to attack the Sui Dynasty and replace Brother Wang Ying." Revenge!”
Liu Tang, Lei Heng, Ruan Xiaoqi and others all picked up the fight and said loudly: "What my brother said is that it is not a gentleman to not avenge a grudge! Let's gather our troops and go to Jiangdu and kill Yang Gao'er." Avenge Wang Ying!"
Song Jiang waved his hand and said: "I understand what all brothers are thinking, but Jiangdu is the capital of Yang Gao's son. The city is high and the pond is deep, it is heavily guarded and the road is far away. It is not realistic to attack Jiangdu now."
After saying that, he turned his attention to Wu Yong on his left and asked in a deep voice: "Military advisor, in your opinion, where should we attack first to give Yang Gao some color?"
Although Wu Yong did not agree with Song Jiang going south to attack the Sui Dynasty, since Song Jiang had made up his mind, as a military advisor, he could only do his best to plan the dispatch of troops for Song Jiang.
Wu Yong frowned and thought for a long time, then he raised his hand and suggested: "Brother, there are generals Xue Rengui and Chang Yuchun of the Sui Army in the Central Plains. Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin who are stationed in Xuzhou are also world-famous brave generals. Fighting with them is definitely not the best strategy. . In Xiaosheng’s humble opinion, it is better to use Dongping County and Jiyin County as the breakthrough point. This place is located at the junction of Xue Rengui and Qin Qiong’s armies, and the troops are weak. If our army sends troops, we will definitely win a complete victory!"
