"Gongming, can I call you this?" Tong Guan took the lead in picking up the teapot in front of him, and after getting a cup for Song Jiang himself, he said with a gentle tone.

"Of course, Mr. Tong," Song Jiang said with a smile.

Tong Guan nodded and sighed: "There have been certain problems with the imperial court's strategy in recent years. The people have suffered a lot. I know that many of your brothers have suffered because of this, especially one of your generals. Lin Chong, after all, he was once considered a member of the Privy Council. Regarding his affairs, I also know that Captain Gao went too far, which caused you to be disappointed with the court. However, the officials are kind-hearted. As long as you are willing to follow me to Bianjing. Holy, these 100,000 troops can be withdrawn immediately, and all the generals under your command will be generously rewarded. As for you, Gongming, to be honest, you are one of the few in the world for your civility, Taoism and military strategy!!"

"I would like to recommend you as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council. You and I will work together to assist the officials, defeat the bandits internally, and destroy the Liao Dynasty externally. If you and I can work together, we will be able to recover the Thirteen Prefectures of Yanyun just around the corner!!"

Hearing this, Zhao Gou next to him showed a trace of expectation in his eyes. If Song Jiang was willing to surrender, it would of course be the best thing for the entire Song Dynasty.

Song Jiang smiled and said, "The words of Mr. Tong really moved the subordinate. In fact, although the official complained a little about Mr. Tong, the grand master, and the Taiwei, he would never hate Mr. Tong, especially Tong Gong. If it weren't for Tong Gong, Over the years, Gong has been conquering the South and the North. I don’t know what the chaos has become in the Song Dynasty. Tong Gong defeated the Qiang people once, made Liao twice, and connected with the Jin Kingdom three times. Some people say that Tong Gong is a traitor. This is a big lie. , so the one I am concerned about is not Tong Gong!!"

Tong Guan's expression changed, "Then why are Gongming worried??"

"The official is worried about only one person, and that is the official family," Song Jiang suddenly said seriously.

"You are brave, Song Jiang." Upon hearing this, Zhao Gou next to him had his hand on the hilt of the sword, with deep anger on his face.

Seeing this scene, Yue Fei's eyes turned cold and he took a step forward slightly.

Tong Guan waved his hand and said in confusion: "Official family??"

"The officials indulged in pleasure and ignored the affairs of the state. They purchased flowers and stone outlines in the south and exploited the people. They built Genyue in Bianjing. They were superstitious about Taoism, which resulted in huge expenses. The national finances could not make ends meet. Disasters occurred in various places. The people were in dire straits. People said this. The treacherous ministers were at work, but the officials found out that the officials actually had a very stable control over the government, but the officials did not want to listen to those words that hindered their own enjoyment, because those who said these words were demoted by the officials themselves. This is the same as Empress Li What’s the difference!!”

"Song Jiang, you are so presumptuous!" Zhao Gou angrily pulled out his sword.

Seeing this scene, the two armies instantly panicked.

"Military Advisor" Wu Song looked at Gongsun Sheng anxiously.

"Don't be anxious," Gongsun Sheng said seriously.

Looking at the angry Zhao Gou, Tong Guan did not stop him this time. Instead, he looked at Song Jiang with a calm face and said in a deep voice: "The officials are at fault because we, the civil and military officials, did not do our best."

"Then Mr. Tong will go back to your majesty. If your majesty can destroy Gen Yue, I, Song Jiang, will not need any official position. I will directly board the ship and go to sea, and will not be seen again!!" Song Jiang said seriously.

"This..." Tong Guan's expression changed. He would rather kill him than let the officials smash the temple in his heart.

"Song Jiang, you don't need to blame your wolfish ambitions on my father. My father is kind and loving to the people, and he admires Taoism for the sake of the people of the world!!"

"Father?" Upon hearing this, Song Jiang looked at the heroic face and said unexpectedly: "Your Highness is..."

"Kang Wang Zhao Gou!!"

"Zhao Gou" Song Jiang's eyes moved, and after looking at Yue Fei next to him, he smiled and said: "Your Highness said this, and I have no words to object. There is no love in the world more than the love of parents and their children, but your Highness thinks about it for himself. Is my family really for the world, or is it for my own eternal life!!"

"Of course it's for the world," Zhao Gou said loudly.

"If it's for the sake of the world, then why are there constant uprisings in various places? Is it possible that the centuries-old foundation of the Song Dynasty is already in such a state of disrepair?"

"this.."

"If it were you, Your Highness, would you think that the world's petition is a reason to wantonly exploit the people's wealth?" Song Jiang said seriously, then shook his head and said: "To petition the world, you do not rely on respecting Taoism, but because you follow the example of the former Tang Dynasty , defeated the Liao Kingdom, recovered the thirteen states of Yanyun, and became famous abroad."

After saying that, Song Jiang looked at the frowning Tong Guan, clasped his fists and said: "Tong Gong, even so, the army has already pressed the border, I, Song Jiang, still did not rebel but stood on my own, because I, Song Jiang, have feelings for the Song Dynasty, as long as the imperial court can withdraw the army , I, Song Jiang, can also guarantee that every year, regardless of taxes, grain and grass will be handed over to the court at twice the amount of Jingdong’s usual amount."

"You want to cede land and become king," Zhao Gou said through gritted teeth.

Song Jiang's eyes moved and he slowly stood up. He looked at Zhao Gou and shook his head with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Kang, I heard that you are very good, but you are still too young after all. I am talking to you in front of Tong Gong's formation. What you want is a man." You are friendly, but now it seems that your Highness is unable to talk much while you are here."

"Tong Gong, Song Jiang takes leave!!"

Looking at Song Jiang who was about to leave, Tong Guan's face darkened, "Gongming, I hope you think about it carefully, otherwise my army of 100,000 will launch an attack tomorrow!!"

When Song Jiang heard this, he turned around and said: "Tong Guan, your kindness is appreciated by my subordinates, and you will become a good man again in eighteen years!"

After saying that, Song Jiang took Yue Fei and Chen Dong and rode back directly.

Seeing this scene, Tong Guan looked at Zhao Gou with some dissatisfaction and said: "Your Highness, many things in this world are not black and white. If it can be discussed, why should the soldiers die in vain!!"

"Does Mr. Tong also think that Song Jiang's monstrous words that confuse the public are acceptable?" Zhao Gou said dissatisfied.

Upon hearing this, Tong Guan shook his head helplessly, waved and left directly.

When Song Jiang turned around, Gongsun Sheng immediately stepped forward and expressed concern: "Brother, are you okay!!"

"It's okay, I just wasted too much saliva," Song Jiang said with a smile.

"What my brother just said was excellent," Chen Dong suddenly said in admiration.

"Okay?? I feel a bit hypocritical myself," Song Jiang said.

"Of course, Tong Guan likes flattery the most. What my brother said is helpful to him, but at the same time, he is helpless. In this way, his determination to fight Jinan has been reduced by a few percent!!" Chen Dong said with a smile.

"That's quite a gain," Song Jiang said with a raised eyebrow.

"I think they will launch a full-scale attack tomorrow to attract support from other Jingdong armies. General Wu Song, this wave is very critical. You can't show too much force. You have to buy more time for General Wang You and others to plan," Chen Dongdao said.

"Commander, feel at ease!!"

In another change, after returning to the commander's tent, Tong Guan glanced at the cold-faced Zhao Gou and said seriously: "The bandit Song Jiang is stubborn and refuses to surrender. Send the order to attack Jinan Mansion with all our strength tomorrow!!"

"yes!!"

"At the same time, we sent out scouts to closely monitor the situation in Jingdong!!"

"yes"
