Two days later, a letter quickly arrived in Song Jiang's hands. It was sent by someone sent by Wu Song in Jinan.
In the secret room, everyone gathered, and Wang You was also among them.
"Dai Zong, let's talk about your intelligence room first," Song Jiang said. Although Liang Qiao's status in the mountain is now higher than that of Dai Zong, Dai Zong is still the commander of the intelligence room and Liang Qiao is the deputy commander.
"Yes, brother." Dai Zong stood up and said seriously: "We have also received news that Liu Yu, the magistrate of Jinan, was very angry because of Brother Wu Song's rescue. Not only did he send someone to report to the court, but he also mobilized eight thousand elite soldiers with the intention of encircling and suppressing me. When Jinan was divided into strongholds, the leader was General Fang Sui, who was said to be unstoppable in his bravery. On that day, he fought with the Wu Song brothers for thirty rounds at the execution ground, with no winner or loser!!"
Song Jiang nodded and said, "Let's talk about it!!"
"Brother, it seems that Jinan Prefecture is really anxious this time, or a little shocked. In the battle of Jinan Prefecture, Brother Wu Song can be said to have mobilized the elite of the entire village, more than 2,500 people, except for those who robbed the law field. Except for the forty-eight people, the others successfully captured the north gate of Jinan Prefecture and rushed into the city to support them. This greatly stimulated Liu Yu and also made the powerful and powerful families in Jinan Prefecture feel uneasy," Wu Yong replied.
"It stands to reason that Brother Wu Song mobilized all the elites to rescue a person without permission, which affected the overall situation of Liangshan. On this point, it is not too much to remove him from the post of commander of the Jinan branch, but the Jinan that Cong Wo Suji Fang received Judging from the explanation of Hu Jun, the deputy commander of the branch, the Chen Dong who was rescued this time was close friends with the Wu Song brothers, and he was a very famous talent locally, even in Jingdong and Bianjing. Taixue, because the incident happened suddenly, the government directly prepared to behead him for collaborating with the enemy, so Brother Wu Song and others did not have time to send someone to inquire," Pei Xuan said at this time.
"My brother has also heard of this Chen Dong. It is said that he is free and easy and resourceful. It was because he offended Cai Jing and other treacherous ministers that he was stripped of everything and sent to Jinan!!" Gongsun Sheng said.
Song Jiang shook his head and said: "I don't want to blame Brother Wu Song for not accepting military orders abroad! If Chen Dong is really talented, to be honest, we will make a lot of money. The problem now is, is it a fight?" , or withdraw??”
"Brothers Wu Song and the others only have more than 2,000 people, with four times the number of officers and soldiers. It is estimated that they will be overwhelmed. If other branches are mobilized, it will cause panic in the entire Jingdong. The time we have set with Jiangnan is the beginning of next spring. If it is moved earlier, This action will probably have a great impact on the overall situation," Zhu Wu frowned.
"Brother once said that if you save land and lose people, you will lose both people and land. If you save people and lose land, you will save both people and land. My brother suggested that you should avoid the front for the time being, abandon the Jinan branch, and let Wu Song lead his army back to Liangshan immediately." Xiao Rang said.
When Song Jiang heard this, he looked at Wang You who had not yet spoken and said, "Qingzhi, what do you think?"
Qingzhinai was Wang You's name, but after he became a bandit, few people called him by that name.
When Wang You heard this, he looked at the gazes of everyone and immediately said: "Brother, I just went up the mountain and don't know much about the situation yet, so..."
"Haha, don't be restrained, you can say anything you want," Song Jiang said warmly.
Wang You thought for a while, cupped his fists and said: "What my brother said is that if you lose people when you save land, you will lose people and land. If you save people and lose land, you will save people and land. This is actually a wise saying of a military strategist. However, after all, Liangshan is a hundred miles away from Jinan Prefecture. The specifics are The situation is not completely clear. I suggest that you listen to Commander Wu’s thoughts. After all, he is the one who knows the situation in Jinan best. Although I have not been in the mountain for a long time, judging from Commander Wu’s arrangements for attacking Jinan Mansion, he has both wisdom and courage. , will never ignore the lives of his brothers for the sake of a mountain fortress, and he has successfully saved people!!"
After reading it, Song Jiang smiled and said: "Qingzhi Dacai, you didn't read this letter from Brother Wu Song, but Brother Wu Song means, fight!!!"
When Pei Xuan heard this, he frowned and said, "Brother, the gap between two thousand and eight thousand is a bit big, isn't it? And will this affect the court's big moves?"
"There is a gap, but it is not invincible. The key depends on how to use troops. As for the imperial court, Brother Wu Song said that it will be winter in two months at most. The imperial court has lost millions of military rations. To make up for the needs of the border, only Neng Cong and Bianjing Okura were replenished first, so it was impossible for the imperial army to dispatch in large numbers. Even if the soldiers from various states received orders, they would not send troops to attack in the cold winter. Once the spring begins and the Jiangnan incident breaks out, the court will be unable to take care of both. !!”
"In addition, Brother Wu Song also said that Liu Yu, the magistrate of Jinan Prefecture, often deducted soldiers' pay, and there was great resentment in the army. If this battle can be won, it will shock the states and counties in Jinan, and their strength will be greatly enhanced. If they retreat at this time, This greatly increased the momentum of the officers and soldiers. Now Jinan already knows that the branch village commanded by the Wu Song brothers belongs to Liangshan. It is estimated that the imperial court is also paying special attention to it. If it cannot be defeated in one battle, the imperial court will definitely mobilize soldiers from various places. They are trying to encircle and suppress our Liangshan Mountains before winter, so each branch must return reinforcements, which will actually affect the overall situation."
After everyone was stunned for a moment, Wu Yong said unexpectedly, "Is this what Brother Wu Song came up with?"
"I think it should be the great talent Chen," Gongsun Sheng said with a smile.
"Haha, so we may have really gained a great talent."
"The words of Mr. Chen are indeed far-sighted, but two thousand is still a little less. Although the history of the Qing Dynasty is full of battles in which fewer people win more than more, the most important thing in war is to win with the royal way and the right way, with absolute victory. The military strength and logistics make it impossible for the enemy to resist," Wang You said cautiously,
After Song Jiang took a look, he stood up and said with a smile: "No, I won't send any brothers this time. If someone is angry or holding back his breath, let him use it to his heart's content. I want to see how powerful he is!!"
"Brother, if it's just in case..."
"Haha, there are no emergencies, only victory. In order to frighten the court and prevent a larger-scale war from breaking out in advance, I immediately sent an order to appoint Chen Dong as the Jinan branch military advisor in my name, allowing them to launch a Jinan counterattack and strive to win half the battle in Jinan." The battle will be over within a month to a month!!”
"yes!!"
"In addition, we have spread the word that the villages are divided into various places. In order to ensure the success of the battle of Jinan, let them send people to closely monitor other state capitals!!"
"yes!!"
Soon, Song Jiang walked with Wang You, looked at the somewhat complicated expression, and said with a smile: "Qingzhi, are you a little worried about my decision?"
"No, brother, I admire your courage and courage." Wang You said seriously, and then said: "Outstanding intelligence is valuable, but courage and courage are the symbols of a god-given hero. This is what I will never do. comparable!!"
Song Jiang smiled and said, "Brother Wang, don't be humble. In terms of winning by surprise, you may not be as good as the military advisors, but if you are given a million troops, you will be invincible in the world!!"
Wang You was stunned for a moment and immediately said: "Brother, thank you for the award."
"If Brother Gongsun says you can't fight, then you must not fight. If you, Wang Qingzhi, say you can fight, you will definitely win," Song Jiang said seriously.
Wang You trembled, cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, brother, for trusting me."
"Haha, let's go! We are discussing things about the Siping Army."
"yes!!"
