More than a month later, in Liangshan's study, Wu Yong cupped his fists and said: "Brother, now we in Liangshan have sent out twelve branches. Judging from the current situation, the one with the best, fastest and most rapid development is the branch stationed by Guo Sheng brothers. In Laizhou, less than half a month after the village gate was re-established, the 500 people originally brought out grew like crazy to 3,800, and the number was still increasing rapidly. Brother Guo Sheng requested another batch of grain and grass support. , and at the same time, I hope to send more copycat brothers who have studied in Chongwenfang, the more the better!!"
"Laizhou is not the most important state in Jingdong, but it is a bit poor. How could it develop so fast?" Pei Xuan said in surprise.
"Harsh government, corruption," Song Jiang, who was in charge, shook his head after reading Guo Sheng's letter.
"What my brother said is true. The reason why the Guo Sheng brothers have developed so fast is because the powerful people in Leiden and Denton colluded secretly to occupy the land. The people were miserable. Therefore, under the guidance of Guo Sheng, a large number of poor people were able to They are coming in droves!!" Wu Yong nodded.
Hearing this, Gongsun Sheng's eyes moved and he said: "Brother, do you still remember Wen Feng's plan to plan Jingdong and then Ocean Ocean?"
"of course I remember"
"Dengzhou is adjacent to the ocean. It can reach Liao and Jin in the north, and Goryeo in the south. If we can get it, we can vigorously develop the navy, and Wuliang Mountain can also have a stable retreat. Since the situation in the two states is so bad now, I suggest, It can be developed vigorously!!" Gongsun Sheng said.
"Yes, I think that in addition to the plan proposed by my brother to surround the city with strongholds, we can also propose to launch uprisings in various places based on the poor people!!" Xiao Rang said.
"No." When Pei Xuan heard this, he immediately shook his head and said: "At present, Liangshan must not clearly decide to base its development on the poor people, because even if there are millions of military rations, we cannot afford it, and once such news gets out, it will They will be blocked by the powerful people in the world. The powerful people are not afraid that you will rob them, but they are afraid that you will completely cut off their status. Leiden is only the land of two states. Wuliangshan has a longer-term vision. The most important thing in the world still lies with the powerful people. Aristocratic family!!”
"Brother Pei is right. This time is not suitable. Unless the power of Wuliang Mountain has reached a certain level, we can open this hole step by step. I suggest that we still use the form of a copycat, but we should be responsible for the affairs of these two states. Unify all the villages, and when the time comes, quickly capture the counties and cities under the two states," Wu Yongdao said.
"Who do you think is suitable?" Song Jiang asked.
"Brother, this time we need not only martial arts, but also wisdom. Brother Guo Sheng can temporarily take charge of martial arts. Although it is due to the current situation, it is also because Brother Guo Sheng has seized the opportunity, and Brother Guo Sheng is willing to learn and has made great progress. , should be given trust!!" Wu Yong said.
Song Jiang nodded, "This is a good point for military advisors. People are trained and generals are trained. Not everyone can command millions of lions as soon as they are born!!"
Guo Sheng may not have been outstanding in the Water Margin in Liangshan in his previous life, and his reputation is far inferior to that of Wu Song and Li Kui. But because of this, he has no evil deeds. There are no born commanders in this world, only those who have been tempered and grown. Talent, as long as he is willing to work hard, bandits can still become generals.
“As for Zhi, I don’t think there is a suitable one at the moment??”
"What do you mean by the military advisor?"
"Since we want to control Lai and Deng, it's best to be very familiar with the situation. In addition, I have always felt that it is best not to have all the civil and military personnel come from the mountains. Of course, I am not doubting the loyalty of the Guo Sheng brothers to my brother, but that they are all like-minded. , I’m afraid of realizing something big.”
"What the military advisor said makes sense. Today is not the same as before. Public and private affairs must be distinguished." Gongsun Sheng immediately agreed.
Song Jiang nodded. Because of Wang Ying and Li Kui's affairs, he felt that the loyalty and kindness in the mountains were too great, so he opened the Hongwen Room for this reason.
Thinking of this, Song Jiang looked at Pei Xuan and said, "Brother Pei, what should we do about the situation in Hongwen's room??"
"I was just about to tell my brother that Hongwenfang, which I am in charge of, is on Mr. Xu's list and is urgently trying to win over down-and-out talents from all over the world. However, some of them are far away, so there is no news yet, but a few are already on their way. , one of them had just gone up the mountain late last night, and had not had time to let his brother see him. Although he was not Leiden, he was indeed from the neighboring Mizhou. He was originally a Jinshi, but was directly named by a powerful family. At that time, Mr. Xu Zeng Jin helped him and said that he has extraordinary talents. I also talked to him last night and he is indeed very talented!!"
Song Jiang's expression changed and he immediately asked: "What is this person's name??"
"Brother, this person's name is Cheng Fu, he is thirty-one this year!!"
"Let him come over quickly. In addition, in the future, all these talented people who are invited, no matter how late it is, no matter how busy I am, will be brought to see me immediately. If they are willing to come to Liangshan now, they have already made a great determination, and they must not be let go." People’s hearts are chilled!!”
"yes!!"
. . . .
That afternoon, a man in white clothes with an extraordinary appearance and a bit of surprise in his gloomy eyes looked at the smiling Song Jiang and said quickly: "The leader of the village has such ambitions. I admire him. Liangshan's strength is far beyond that." My imagination is that I can help Pei secretly handle some official documents and food and grass matters, but when it comes to laying out the land of two states, opening up the foundation for Liangshan, and achieving brilliant achievements, my talents are far from enough!!"
It was Cheng Fu who was recruited.
"Brother Cheng is so humble"
"No, Village Leader, I have become disheartened since I was deprived of my fame. I may still recite the Four Books and Five Classics fluently, but I am far behind on strategy and layout. This is precisely because I am not good at socializing and have lost my fame. The main reason is" Cheng Fu said seriously.
Song Jiang frowned, Cheng Fu didn't want to, but the two states of Leiden didn't have much time to waste.
"Master, I can't do it, but there is one person who can definitely do it. This person's talent is ten times better than mine, and his sophistication is far beyond my reach. Moreover, he has always been extremely disappointed with the Song Dynasty's cowardice towards the outside world. I hate official corruption even more!!" Cheng Fu said immediately.
"Oh!!" Song Jiang looked happy and said immediately: "Who is this?"
"This man is a good friend of my classmate. He was a Jinshi and is now a professor in Mizhou. His surname is Qin, his given name is Huizhi, and his courtesy name is Huizhi," Cheng Fudao said.
Song Jiang's expression changed, "What did you say?? Qin Hui!!"
Cheng Fu was stunned and asked in confusion: "The leader of the village knows Brother Qin??"
Song Jiang couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. This traitor who later killed the war god Wu Mu on unfounded charges, who acted like a slave to the outside world and like a wolf to the inside, was actually in Jingdong.
After thinking about it, Song Jiang said: "You just said that he hated the Song Dynasty for being afraid of the Liao and Jin Dynasties."
"He hates it so much. Every time we get together, he shakes his head in disappointment."
Song Jiang was stunned for a moment. After carefully recalling it, he suddenly remembered that after the Jingkang incident, Qin Hui was also taken away by the Kingdom of Jin. Could it be that this time, he was completely frightened by the power and ruthlessness of the Kingdom of Jin, so he lost his All the ambitions are coupled with Zhao Gou's pursuit of stability.
After a slight silence, Song Jiang's eyes narrowed. Whether a treacherous minister or a loyal minister, the important thing is to serve the master. Qin Hui's ability to control the Southern Song Dynasty court in the future shows his ability. In troubled times, talents are not used at all.
"Do you think he will be willing??" Song Jiang said seriously. No matter if he is a traitor in the future, but now he is still a declining professor, and he, Song Jiang, is already the overlord.
