On the other side, in the main office of Jinan Mansion, Song Jiang was happily pulling a man wearing a bright silver armor into the inner hall with a bit of excitement on his handsome face.
"Come on, brother Huoshan, please, if I had known earlier that you were the fallen young master back then, I should have gone out of the city to greet him personally. Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Song Jiang said with a smile.
"I also want to give my brother a surprise." The man came with his army today to kill Huo Shan, the magistrate of Yizhou, Jiang Yuan. I heard that the two of them seemed to have known each other before.
"Brother, what is going on??" Gongsun Sheng and others who had just returned from picking up people asked curiously.
"Haha, it's all due to fate," Song Jiang laughed.
Hearing this, Gongsun Sheng looked at Huo Shan. Huo Shan clasped his fists and said, "The military advisor doesn't know something. Many years ago, when my brother was still a police officer, my brother failed in the scientific examination. When he returned to Yizhou in despair, he encountered an unfortunate incident. The bandits robbed me. Not only were my followers killed, but all my money was also taken away. Later, I was lucky enough to meet my brother. He gave me food and drink, and arranged for someone to take me back to Yizhou. He even secretly stuffed me with a bag of copper coins before leaving. , I am always grateful in my heart!!”
"Brother, don't worry. It's just a piece of cake. Now it seems that my brother's family background is indeed extraordinary!!" Song Jiang said. In his memory, Song Jiang didn't take Huo Shan's words seriously at all. He just hoped that he would pay more attention to them.
"My Huo family does have some prestige in Yizhou. Over the years, I have been paying attention to the news about my brother. I heard that my brother went to Liangshan and won many battles. I was happy, but because my father refused, I couldn't contact him. But soon Recently, I was very excited after receiving the news that my brother had become the governor of Jingdong and called on the civil and military forces from various states in Jingdong to rush to Jinan to meet him. However, Jiang Yuan was indeed extremely pedantic. He was already very dissatisfied with my Huo family and always felt that my brother was a common man. Judge was also bought by my father with a lot of money, and he often criticized me harshly. Fortunately, with my brother’s protection, I finally succeeded in taking control of the Yizhou military camp, so I came here to pay my respects!!”
After Song Jiang's eyes moved, he quickly said with an moved face: "It's rare for brothers to be so affectionate. In the future, you will be the governor of Yizhou!!"
"No, brother. Ever since I was robbed by bandits, I have felt that I am useless and useless, so I have concentrated on practicing martial arts. I don't have enough experience in governing people's livelihood. I want to be a member of my brother's command. War generals, from north to south," Huo Shan said immediately with his fists clasped.
When Song Jiang heard this, he smiled and said: "Knowing a state can also lead troops. How can we not reward our brothers for their great achievements?"
"Brother, it's not that I'm humble, it's that I really don't like it, but I can recommend someone," Huo Shan suddenly said.
Hearing this, Gongsun Sheng next to him raised his eyebrows. He looked at Huo Shan, who had a normal expression, and seemed to see something.
"Brother, just say it"
"Brother, I was able to succeed this time not only because of my brother's blessing, but also because of the support from the other three families in Yizhou."
"The other three??"
"Yes, they are the Feng family, the Chen family, and the Shen family. The three of them are also very happy that their brother has become the governor. Why not choose one of the three families!!"
After Song Jiang glanced at Huo Shan, he immediately smiled and said: "So that's it. I value the aristocratic family the most. Since my brother said so, then choose one from the three of them!!"
When Huo Shan saw it, he quickly clasped his fists and said gratefully: "Thank you, brother!!"
"Brother, there is no need to be polite. Back then, I was just a little helper. Now, brother, you have given me a state. So be it! I will appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the Yizhou Army. From now on, you and I, brothers, will be on the battlefield together!!"
"Yes, brother"
"Brother, the food and wine are ready." At this time, Wang Su walked in.
"Okay, let's eat first," Song Jiang said.
"yes!!"
. . . .
In the afternoon, Huo Shan, accompanied by Wu Song, went to watch the Hundred Victory Army first. In the inner hall, looking at Song Jiang with a somewhat gloomy face, Gongsun Sheng sighed: "Some people will never forget the kindness of a meal, and some people really saved their lives." Well, it can also be used as a bargaining chip. This Mr. Huo really knows how to seize the opportunity. If the guess is correct, he is probably not because he is grateful for his brother's kindness, but because Jiang Yuan has threatened the interests of their Yizhou scholar family. , if he really wanted to repay his kindness, he would not take action until now. They have probably already discussed it, one is in charge of the soldiers, and the other is in charge of the government, so that the interests of the four families in Yizhou can be completely guaranteed."
Song Jiang's face condensed, "The power of the four Yizhou families is really shocking. The key is that I, Song Jiang, still owe them a favor. It seems that Yizhou will not be easy to move in the future!!"
"Brother, don't worry. If you don't want to move, just don't move." Gongsun Sheng smiled at this time and said: "Since ancient times, those who get help from aristocratic families will win the world, and those who win the world will definitely destroy the aristocratic families!!"
"It's true that I can't move now, but as long as I succeed in the future, no one can stop my decision."
Song Jiang thought for a while, nodded and said: "It seems that we need to send someone over to get a better understanding of the situation in Yizhou."
"Brother, when Huoshan returns, I will go back with him in person to select candidates for governor."
"You go." When Song Jiang heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "No, last time you went to Huainan alone, I was already worried every day."
"Brother, don't worry. This time is different. Don't worry. Not only will I be safe, but I will also be favored by the three families. It's a good job!!" Gongsun Sheng smiled and said slightly seriously: "In the future, I will be the leader of Liangshan. It’s basically in Yanzhou, and Yanzhou is backed by Yizhou and is the only way to Leiden, so I’d better go and have a look in person so that I can make a plan!!”
After Song Jiang hesitated slightly, he said: "Then I will bring three hundred guards."
"Brother, no need"
"We must" Song Jiang said firmly.
When Gongsun Sheng heard this, he was moved and said: "Thank you, brother."
"Be very careful when you go here. These aristocratic families are all cannibals without spitting out their bones."
"yes!!"
"Brother" At this time, Chai Jin came in, holding a letter and said: "This has just been sent by the military advisor. Tieniu and the Blood Tiger Army have successfully sneaked into Xia County of Yanzhou."
After Song Jiang took it and took a look, he frowned and said, "Second mother is also here."
"Yes, because Brother Zhang Qing is also in the Blood Tiger Army!!"
When Song Jiang heard this, he shook his head and told Zhang Qing to forget it. But although Sun Erniang had made human meat buns before and killed a lot of people, because of her ferocity, she was indeed Xu Youzhu's best helper now, the female family member in the mountain. Whoever is disobedient or breaks the rules can be solved by letting Sun Erniang pass.
"I hope they can complete the mission smoothly!!" Song Jiang said after saying, "It is indeed a good choice to do it on the New Year's Day. Yanzhou must be captured as soon as possible, and all the civil and military personnel in the mountain will be moved there, so that it can be controlled as soon as possible. The whole Jingdong situation!!”
"yes!!"
"Send someone to reply to the military advisor. Lin Chong will be the commander-in-chief, Lu Zhishen will be the vanguard, and Chen Dong and Xiao Rang will be the accompanying military advisors. It must be accomplished in one blow," Song Jiang said seriously.
"yes!!"
"Brother, Yu Wenling has something urgent to see you!!"
"Let him in," Song Jiang said.
"Yes." Soon, Yu Wenling came in and solemnly clasped his fists and said: "Brother, I just received news that a group of Jinan scholars secretly recruited many people to assassinate my brother in order to stabilize the so-called great power." Song Jiangshan!!”
"Assassination??" Song Jiang was stunned.
"Yu Wenling, what you said is true." Gongsun Sheng immediately became nervous. The Yizhou family is nothing, Song Jiang's safety is everything.
"It's absolutely true. These people seemed to be stimulated by Huo Tongpan's arrival. They thought they were subjects of the Song Dynasty. Seeing that their brother was becoming more and more powerful, they wanted to shake the tree with a fly. And more importantly, they were the leader. That person is Liu Du, the eldest son of the Liu family!!" Yu Wenling said coldly.
