"Brother asked me to go to Jiangnan??" Zhu Wu said in surprise in the study.
"Yes, although we have made some achievements in Liangshan now, compared with the strength of the imperial court, there is still a big gap, so we must have the support and coordination from Jiangnan. In addition, although we have established intelligence exchanges with Jiangnan, Fang La sent an envoy, so Liangshan should also send someone to return the favor," Song Jiang said.
When Zhu Wu heard this, he immediately said: "That brother will set off tomorrow."
Song Jiang nodded and said: "This time, I must be sincere when I go there. I don't need to hide my strength in Liangshan. In addition, I must learn more about the specific situation in Jiangnan!!"
"yes"
“As for who to take, it’s up to you to choose.”
"Thank you brother"
"Brother Zhu, I have prepared a gift here. You can take it with you. In addition, I will write a letter in person and please give it to Shiyuan," Wu Yong said.
"yes"
"Jiangnan is where the imperial court pays taxes and supplies. If Jiangnan is in chaos, the world will be shocked. Brother Zhu Wu, you are resourceful and resourceful. You are nicknamed Shenji Military Advisor. When you get there, although you have to hide your clumsiness, if you find problems, you can also point them out directly. , in the next few years, or even longer, our Jingdong and Jiangnan must rely on each other. If Jiangnan loses, the pressure on our Jingdong will increase greatly. If Jiangnan gains, the imperial court will be unable to conquer!!" Gongsun Sheng said seriously.
"Brother understands"
"Tell Brother Fang that I look forward to meeting him in the future," Song Jiang said with a smile.
"yes!!"
. . . . .
On the other side, in Jinan Mansion, in the lobby of Zhizhou Mansion, Chai Jin had arrived. At this time, Wu Song took his hand and happily introduced: "Brother Chai, this is Brother Chen, Chen Dong, Chen Shaoyang."
"Brother Chen, this is Chai Jin, the commander of Liangshan Qianliangfang, who is a descendant of the Chai family of Later Zhou Dynasty."
"Chai" Chen Dong's eyes moved and he immediately said: "Meet Commander Chai"
"You don't need to be polite, Shaoyang. Now your reputation is widely spread up and down Liangshan. You split two thousand troops into a stronghold, defeated tens of thousands of Jinan's troops, and even captured Jinan Prefecture. This is the wisdom of heaven and man!!"
"The commander-in-chief has won an award."
"Brother Chai, what are your orders?"
Chai Jin took a look, took out a military order and handed it to Wu Song.
Wu Song quickly took it and took a look, frowning and said: "Brother asked Brother Chen to go back??"
"Yes, and the military advisor reminded me that it's best to do it within these two days."
"This..." Wu Song was stunned. He originally thought that his brother would let Chen Dong serve as the magistrate of Jinan Prefecture.
"Brother Wu Song, going back does not mean that you don't take it seriously, but that you take it too seriously. Although it is a great joy for you to win Jinan, it will also completely shake the entire Jingdong. Above Liangshan, we need to respond quickly. If Brother Chen doesn't go back for such a big event, How can this be done? Brother Chen's status is not comparable to that of the military advisor of the branch village. He will accompany his brother and plan the great cause of the entire Jingdong!!" Chai Jin said with a smile.
When Wu Song heard this, he immediately understood. He looked at Chen Dong and said with some reluctance: "Brother Chen, it seems we have to separate."
Chen Dong smiled and said, "Commander, we will meet again sooner or later. Of the two talents recommended by my brother, one can assist you in running the army, and the other can assist Commander Chai in running politics. With the two of them here, it won't be possible." problematic"
Wu Song nodded lightly.
"Commander Chai, since my brother has given the order, I will take you to see the treasury's account books and personnel first."
"good"
. . . .
In the afternoon, in the study room of the government office, Chai Jin asked curiously: "Liu, Li's house??"
"Yes, Liu Xian, the old man of the Liu family, is a great and virtuous Confucian of our time. He has disciples and former officials all over the world. Although he is still very resistant to Liangshan, as long as we treat him leniently, there will be no problem. If he is here, the hearts of Jinan scholars will be better." stable!!"
"What about the Li family??"
"The Li family has something to do with the commander," Chen Dong said with a smile.
"relation??"
"They are the descendants of Li Chongjin and Li Shixiang"
"What did you say??" Chai Jin's expression changed.
"When Shizong passed away, Taizu Huangpao replaced him. Li Shi became angry and rebelled. After his defeat, his family burned themselves on fire. Fortunately, there was a loyal servant who brought one of his descendants to Qingzhou. This incident was later revealed by the imperial court. I also know, but the foundation of the Song Dynasty has been stabilized, because there is no intention to pursue it, but the Li family is not allowed to be an official. However, the Li family has been a talented person for generations, and is now the richest man in Jinan, and is good at charity and has a good reputation. Although I am visiting, I hope Liangshan can support me, but the other party did not give a reply, but when the commander comes this time, the situation is different. This Minister Li is actually Sejong's cousin, and the commander and they are one family."
"My brother asked the commander to be the governor of Jinan. In addition to the commander's ability, it is also because the commander is a descendant of the Chai family. If the commander manages Jinan, the fear in the hearts of the people will be reduced a lot, and they will even lament the rotation of cause and effect in the world!!"
When Chai Jin heard this, he immediately stood up and said solemnly: "Then I will go see you immediately!!"
"Commander, don't be anxious. Of course you have to go. It's best to bring someone with you," Chen Dong said with a smile.
"Who?" Chai Jin asked unexpectedly.
"Li Qiaoer, the third daughter of the Li family, is in prison now."
Chai Jin was stunned, "What did she commit??"
"kill!!"
"Killing people??" Chai Jin said unexpectedly, how could a noble lady kill someone?
"Things are a little complicated, but it doesn't matter now. As long as the commander gives the order, Li Qiaoer will be innocent. I have been holding this card until the critical moment."
When Chai Jin heard this, he said cautiously: "You haven't suffered much, right?"
He knew that the jailers in the prison were very shady nowadays, and if there was any offense, he would probably lose something.
"Commander An Xin, she is very good. In addition, after the commander leaves, you don't have to say good things about me. Instead, you can criticize me. Brother Yan is young and frivolous. If I can finally get help from the Li family, then I will be the leader of the Jinan treasury." No matter what, there is no problem!!”
When Chai Jin heard this, he immediately sighed: "No wonder the military advisors and others say that you are a genius. My brother even said that I am a filial piety. Now it seems that you are truly worthy of your reputation."
"The commander-in-chief has given me the award, but forget it Guo Jia, I still want to live longer," Chen Dong said.
"Haha" Chai Jin smiled and said: "Don't be the commander, commander, just call Chai Jin, or Brother Chai. If you need help with anything in the future, just say it!!"
"Brother Xie Chai"
“What else is there besides these two families??”
"It's Liu Yu again"
"Jinan Zhizhou??"
"Yes, my brother wants to kill him to relieve his hatred, but Liu Yu may still be useful."
"What else is he useful for??"
"This Liu Yu is a disciple of Cai Jing. Now that Jinan has been captured, the entire Jingdong is shaken. All states must be prepared. If they attack one by one, our Liangshan will suffer heavy losses. But if we don't take this perfect opportunity to win, the situation next year will be very different." It will be a lot more difficult, so after my brother leaves, Brother Chai can release him and show that my brother is actually loyal to the imperial court, but was forced by local traitors. If the imperial court can appoint my brother as the governor of Jingdong, and oversee the civil and military affairs of Jingdong, Then great things can be accomplished!!”
"Recruitment" Chai Jin frowned.
"It's not about recruiting people. What we need is just an imperial edict. As long as the imperial edict comes, the entire Jingzhou can be settled," Chen Dong said in a low voice and deceitfully.
Chai Jin's eyes moved and he reacted instantly, and immediately said: "Can the imperial court be so stupid??"
"I don't know, so this is just an attempt. If it fails, it will just mean Liu Yu's life. But if it succeeds, then the road behind Liangshan will be much easier for me."
Upon hearing this, Chai Jin nodded heavily.
"After I return to Liangshan, I will report this matter to my brother first, so Liu Yu must keep this one!!"
"Don't worry, I will send someone to take care of it personally," Chai Jin said seriously.
"good!!"
