Two days later, in the evening, in the study, a map was hung directly on the wall. At this time, Song Jiang stood beside it, frowning and looking at it. There were two routes marked on the map, one was from Jiangning to Yangzhou and went straight to Yingtianfu, and the other was from Jiangning to Yangzhou and directly to Yingtianfu. Starting from Jiangning, passing through Luzhou and Shouzhou, arriving at Yingchang Mansion. This is a map of Huainan that Zhu Fu found.
"Brother, let's have something to eat." At this time, shouts rang out, and Xu Youzhu came in with Fan Xiaoya and Liu Yue. Now she had taken charge of Liangshan Neijuan's affairs.
Song Jiang waved his hand and said without looking back: "It's okay, I'm not hungry."
When the three girls saw that Fan Xiaoya was about to persuade, Xu Youzhu waved his hand to stop her and approached, "Brother, if you want to eat, I have an opinion here??"
Song Jiang was stunned for a moment, then finally turned his head and said unexpectedly: "What do you think?"
"eat first"
When Song Jiang heard this, he laughed bitterly and walked to the dinner table. He really had no appetite and said, "Although we sent people, we probably won't be able to find out anything about such a big matter. Starting from Yangzhou is the fastest, but passing through Luzhou. Shouzhou should be much safer, but the two sides are hundreds of miles apart. If we divide our forces, it may be difficult to control and we may not be able to win."
Xu Youzhu took a look and knew that Song Jiang didn't want to know clearly and really couldn't bear it, so he said: "Brother, in addition to the route, brother should also consider the people."
"people??"
"If Liangshan sends troops this time, it can be said that they have traveled thousands of miles. They must get the military rations before they arrive at Fuzhou. Therefore, it is definitely not appropriate to divide the troops. One million grains and fodder, and just transporting it requires so many people!!"
"This is what worries me too"
"I think Zhang Shuye will definitely leave Yangzhou for Yingtian!!" Xu Youzhu said seriously.
"Why??"
"The wealth of Yangzhou can provide all the rations for the transportation army, which Luzhou cannot afford. The second is Zhang Shu Yeyong!!"
"Yong??"
"Zhang Shuye once went on a mission to the Liao Kingdom. It is said that he shot at a banquet and hit the target first. The Liao people were amazed and wanted to see the bow he used. Zhang Shuye refused on the grounds that it was unprecedented. After returning from the mission, , Zhang Shuye also drew five pieces of information about the Liao Kingdom's mountains and rivers, city walls, servers, and rituals. This man was brave enough to conquer others. He was not even afraid of the Liao Kingdom. How could he be afraid of some rogue bandits? If his guess was correct. , not only will he not change his route, but if he knows the news, he will use it to directly eliminate all the bandits who are trying to rob him!!"
Song Jiang's expression changed, "How do you know him??"
"It is said that it was my father who told me. Although my father is no longer an official, he does know the officials of the imperial court very well."
Song Jiang thought for a moment, then said with focused eyes: "When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman will benefit."
"Brother is wise"
"But what if it's just in case?"
"Brother, if he turns to Luzhou, there will be many routes and they will stretch for thousands of miles. If something is lost, my army will not be able to come back. If this is the case, it is okay not to use this food and grass."
When Song Jiang heard this, he immediately calmed down and said, "What you said makes sense. Quickly, let the military advisor come over."
"Brother," Xu Youzhu said immediately dissatisfied.
Song Jiang was stunned and said quickly: "Yes, eat first. People are like iron and rice is like steel. If you don't eat even one meal, you won't be hungry."
Soon after Song Jiang finished his meal in a hurry, Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng were invited.
After Song Jiang explained Xu Youzhu's thoughts, Gongsun Sheng immediately praised: "The Fourth Miss is really smart, she plans her plans first!!"
"There are still almost two months to go. We can send people to Huainan to lay a foundation and see if they can integrate into the village they are trying to rob. Once the time comes, we will gather an army," Wu Yong said.
Song Jiang nodded, "I asked you two to come over to discuss the selection of candidates."
"My brother thought that brothers Shi Xiu and Yang Xiong could be in charge. When they attacked Zhujiazhuang, brother Shi Xiu not only successfully found out the mechanism of Pantuo Road from old man Zhongli, but also helped his brother get out of the maze. He has a strong ability to find out. In addition, he has good martial arts skills. If he asks Yang Xiong to help, he will definitely be able to do it!!"
"Brother Shi Xiu is good, but he has a fiery temperament. When I go to Huainan this time, I need to be calm and patient. If the overall situation is messed up because of some other things, it will not be good. In addition, Yang Xiong likes wine and is afraid of drinking. "I made a mistake later." After hearing this, Gongsun Sheng said with some disapproval.
"What do you mean brother??"
"This time, it is best to go there as a couple, because it is the least likely to be suspected, and it is best to control the situation. It is better to let Wang Ying and Sanniang go."
"No, Wang Ying's shortcomings are too obvious. Sanniang might get angry if she is with him."
When Song Jiang heard this, he frowned and said, "Did something happen again??"
"I dare not hide it from my brother. Some time ago, Wang Ying tinkered with Tieniu and secretly went down the mountain, causing some trouble. Brother, you also know that Tieniu was impulsive and killed Sanniang's family. Sanniang has always hated him, but Wang Ying is still hanging out with Tieniu, and going down the mountain is not a serious matter!! "
Song Jiang's expression changed, "Why don't you repay me?"
"I don't think the whole family has just arrived. I'm afraid your brother will be upset," Wu Yong said with shame.
Song Jiang's face suddenly darkened, and Li Kui stopped talking. He really didn't know how much trouble he had caused. He used to do things on his own, and he had no scruples once he killed someone. But this Wang Ying is even more outrageous and treacherous. He is the only one who has done it. With that appearance, even with a beautiful wife like Sanniang, she still remained lustful and wanted to call Li Kui. It was not because she valued his love and care for Li Kui.
"Some things cannot continue like this. If one person makes a mistake, the entire village will be without rules. I think some brothers are too wild and difficult to reform. Since they don't know how to cherish it, let them be more unrestrained." A trace of coldness flashed across Song Jiang's face.
Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng's expressions changed. The reason why these two were able to hold high positions even though they were impulsive and to marry a lovely wife because they were lustful was because they had rescued Song Jiang and were regarded as Song Jiang's first men.
"Brother, actually Tieniu has changed a lot recently, especially after Zengtou Market, he has become more disciplined. You also know that he is impulsive and his martial arts is also very good." Gongsun Sheng said quickly. Hearing what Song Jiang just said was Wang Ying had the intention to kill, so Wang Ying let it go. She couldn't do it with words or with force. The so-called rescue that day was because she lustfully fell in love with other people's wives, which caused Song Jiang's disaster.
When Wu Yong heard this, he immediately saw that Gongsun Sheng wanted to give up on Wang Ying. After a slight hesitation, he said: "Brother, now is the time to employ people, why don't you give them a chance?"
Song Jiang looked at the worry in their eyes, raised his eyebrows, and then pretended to sigh: "Hey, we are our brothers after all, what else can we say? Let Wang Ying and Sanniang go! But this time everyone listens to Sanniang Yes, he is causing trouble and I will never forgive him."
"Thank you, brother," Wu Yong said gratefully, while Gongsun Sheng raised his eyebrows, as if he saw something.
"Let Li Kui come see me tomorrow"
"yes!!"
After the two left, Song Jiang's face turned extremely ugly. He now discovered that although he had kept his word, the network of relationships up and down Liangshan was too complicated, and many people were talking about so-called favors with him. , In this way, the so-called rules in the future will definitely be bound by loyalty and kindness. Someone like Wang Ying, who has no military orders and acts at will, cannot directly order severe punishment.
Song Jiang now finally understands why the master cannot be exclusive. He can only focus on one power, and it is so intricate that it can move one person but chill the hearts of everyone.
Thinking of this, Song Jiang said to the outside world: "Send someone to ask Liang Qiao and Pei Xuan to come over."
"yes!!"
"It's time to cultivate a group of civil and military personnel who have no personal friendship with me, Song Jiang," Song Jiang said with sharp eyes.
. . .
At this time, on the way back, Gongsun Sheng and Wu Yong were walking in silence. Soon, when both of them wanted to speak, they both laughed bitterly.
"Brother will definitely be dissatisfied this time," Wu Yong said.
"It's not that I'm dissatisfied, but my brothers in Liangshan are really too close now. My brothers have great ambitions, such as Tieniu, Wang Ying and many brothers. Their various actions have indeed touched the bottom line. If they are not severely punished, I, Liangshan, will The future will definitely not be far, but punishment will chill the hearts of the brothers. Military advisor, my brother is no longer what he used to be. You and I should also be more cautious, justice is broken." Gongsun Sheng said with unprecedented seriousness.
