The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Chapter 327 The Yellow Horse Changes, The Green Willow Comes

After a few days in court, Cai You came out of the class to play and said: "The officials, the generals who surrendered from Liangshan, did not serve the merits. Now there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. It is not appropriate to set up camps outside the city. They should be sent away early."

Li Bangyan held the wat again and said: "I think that your majesty can return the army and horses of Song Jiang and other troops, who were the generals who were trapped in the government, and return them to their original places. The fifth route, divided into Shandong and Hebei, is the best policy."

The Emperor Daojun will play, and the words should be so.

The next day, he ordered Ji Zhong, the commander of the deputy commander in front of the palace, to go to Liangshan camp outside the city, and orally passed down the imperial decree, ordering Song Jiang and others to separate the army and horses and return to their original places.

Hearing this, the leaders suddenly became half-hearted, some were displeased, while others were secretly happy.

Those who are displeased are of course heroes from the green forest, but those who are secretly happy are those who were defeated and surrendered before, or those who were forced to go to Liangshan.

Those heroes who were born in the green forest replied: "We surrendered to the imperial court. Although we were appointed as small officials, but where there is no title and no reward, we will dispatch my brothers and others. We and the leaders will follow each other in life and death." , vowed not to part with each other, insisted on this, we had no choice but to go back to Liangshanpo."

Song Jiang was shocked when he heard the words before, and stopped talking quickly, thinking that he must not rush to resist, so he invited Ji Zhong to the village alone, spent some money, and discussed: "They are all reckless people. If you don't know the rules, you still have to beg your lord to give a good answer."

Ji Zhong accepted the money with a half-hearted smile, and then returned to the court, but he was annoyed at the rudeness of the people in his heart, and he was willing to hide nothing, so he reported the details of what happened, added fuel and vinegar, and reported it all.

Emperor Daojun was frightened and angry when he heard the words, and announced Zhao Tun, Zhao Kai, Gao Qiu, and all the officials of the Privy Council to enter the palace for discussion.

At this moment, Tong Guan has resumed his assignment to lead the affairs of the Privy Council. He thought about it and said: "Officials, although these bandits have surrendered, they have not changed their thieves' intentions. I am afraid that they will end up in great trouble. I think it is foolish of my ministers to send an order to kill these bandits. Earn money into the city, set up a banquet plan, wipe out all these thieves, and then disperse their troops and horses, so as to avoid the trouble of the court."

After hearing this, the Emperor Daojun frowned slightly, and fell silent. At this time, Gao Qi said again: "Officials, I think what Tong Shumi said is reasonable, and I went to Liangshan with King Yun to see that everyone disrespected the court. Speak wild words and despise the court officials, even if you are dissatisfied with the officials, it is better to take advantage of this occasion to gather together, not to leave a single one behind, and to cut the grass and root out!"

The Emperor Daojun didn't say a word when he heard the words, although he agreed with the two in his heart, he secretly made the decision to recruit security, and then gave the credit to Zhao Kai, it is less than a month since Zhao Kai went to recruit security, if all of them were killed, then Zhao Kai suffered a great loss to his reputation.

Liangshan is different from those villages with only hundreds or thousands of people, but tens of thousands. Even if things are kept secret, but these leaders come in to drink and never return, and disappear from the world, no one among those tens of thousands can guess Joints in between?
At that time, it will be spread to ten or ten to a hundred, and I am afraid that it will be known to the world in a short time.

Emperor Daojun looked at Zhao Kai: "What does King Yun think?"

How could Zhao Kai decide this matter, he also knew that it would be best to kill them, but after all he was the one who recruited them and killed them all in a blink of an eye.

He said: "There are many thieves in Liangshan. This is a very important matter. Please let the officials decide."

Emperor Daojun frowned, but he didn't want to say anything else, after all he summoned the person, and letting Zhao Kai decide this matter was to take the blame for him, it's not easy to force him.

Then he looked at Zhao Tun again and said, "What does King Qin think?"

Zhao Tong thought to himself, in order to avoid future troubles, it is better to kill them all, I am afraid that your old man will bear the name of this inhumanity, otherwise you will not have a sad face.

He thought for a while, and said: "Officials, the leader of Liangshan has both green forest bandits and generals. I think what Li Xianggong said in the court is right, and he should go back to his place. He is willing to return to his original position and not continue with these people." Those who are mixed, let them go back, and those who are willing to continue to follow Song Jiang, then let him follow."

Gao Qiu said: "Isn't this going to continue to gather? I'm afraid there will be a lot of people, and I'm afraid there will be more disputes."

Tong Guan also said: "Could it be that King Qin meant to kill half and keep the other half?"

Zhao Kai looked at the Taoist emperor and said, "Officials, I think killing half and leaving the other half to procrastinate is not good."

Emperor Daojun said: "I feel the same way."

Zhao Tong said: "It's not necessary to kill, you might as well send Song Jiang and the leader who is willing to follow to the north to fight against Tian Hu. You don't want to destroy it, just contain it."

Hearing this, Gao Qiu immediately said: "This is absolutely impossible. Even if the original officers and soldiers return to their positions, there may still be [-] to [-] people left in Liangshan. How can we give Song Jiang so many people?"

Tong Guan thought for a while and said: "It's not difficult. It's a good idea to fight a thief against a thief. Let them consume each other and kill two birds with one stone. It's just...you have to make them have scruples and dare not make trouble outside."

Zhao Kai's face was a bit dark, he was defeated in conquering Tian Hu, he was most afraid of mentioning this matter, now Zhao Tun actually wanted Liang Shan to fight against Tian Hu, he immediately objected: "Officials, Song Jiang was originally a thief, if Huai What should I do if I have two hearts and work together with Tian Hu?"

Zhao Tong shook his head and said, "The king of Yun recruited Liangshan with great momentum, but he didn't know that Song Jiang was originally a small official in charge, not a thief?"

Zhao Kai was at a loss for words, why would he pay attention to the background of a bandit leader.

At this moment, Emperor Daojun frowned slightly: "It is a way to punish thieves with thieves. The court has used it before, but Tong Aiqing is right. There are too many soldiers in Liangshan. If there is no coercion, there may be mischief."

Zhao Tong said: "The officials are wise, that's exactly what they are."

After speaking, he stopped talking.

The Emperor Daojun is naturally happy. If he can use Liangshan to reach Tianhu, if he wins, he will be considered invincible. Then the consumption of two phases will be of great benefit to the court, far better than killing them all and making the soldiers below panic.

He felt itchy in his heart, seeing that Zhao Tama didn't speak any more, he got angry, looked at the others and said, "Can all my lovers have a way to coerce Liang Shan?"

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, although they knew the name of Liangshan, but this time the recruitment was urgent, and they did not carefully study the identities of these thieves, so they couldn't help but shut up.

Emperor Daojun's face sank slightly, and he looked at Zhao Tun again: "Since King Qin proposed a solution, isn't there a solution?"

Zhao Tong laughed secretly in his heart, according to Song Jiang's temperament, he had been begging for officials for half his life, if it wasn't for the sword on his neck, the poison in front of him, or the court was about to fall, he probably wouldn't turn against him again.

But there must always be an excuse for this matter, he pondered: "Officials, I heard that Shandong Songjiang has a nickname, called Xiaoyi Black Saburo, and is famous for his filial piety and righteousness. If you lose these two things, no one will Follow, if you violate these two, you may be cast aside."

"Xiaoyi...Hei Saburo?" The Emperor Daojun nodded when he heard the words. When he was talking to Lehe that day, Lehe had mentioned Song Jiang's nickname, which seemed to be the case.

Zhao Tong continued: "I heard that Song Jiang has an old father and a younger brother in the army. You might as well detain both of them in the capital. As for the others, if they have family members, they will also stay. I'm not afraid that they will cause trouble outside and have trouble with the court." Right."

Zhao Kai said: "It's not that every thief has family members in the capital, how can he blackmail everyone?"

Zhao Tong smiled and said: "Isn't it just right? If those homeless people have two hearts, how can those with family members tolerate him? It saves the court from doing anything, not to mention that these bandits listen to Song Jiang, and they are going to make trouble this time." Isn’t the reason also because he wants to be with Song Jiang? So as long as Song Jiang’s father and younger brother stay in Tokyo, Song Jiang will be wary, and no one else will dare to move.”

Everyone became pensive when they heard the words.

The method is very dishonest, but it is definitely the best and most effective.

"This..." Emperor Daojun also felt that it would be disgraceful to do so, but he was thinking of using Liangshan to deal with Tianhu, so he hesitated for a while.

Tong Guan said at this time: "I see that King Qin's method is feasible. If the officials are worried about reputation, they might as well promise an official rank first. If Tian Hu can be calmed down, they will be promoted to rank. If you think about it, you can really win, and these people will be left. How much? I'm afraid there will be no more threats, but with such kindness and power combined, what complaints do these Liangshan people have?"

Emperor Daojun thought for a moment, nodded his head and said happily: "What Aiqing said is very good, so I will act accordingly. I will pass the decree to Song Jiang now!"

In the afternoon, Song Jiang walked out of the palace with a helpless and complicated expression on his face.

He doesn't care about letting the old man and Song Qing stay in Tokyo. He won't rebel again. It's better for his family to stay in Tokyo.

It’s just that he was originally going to Chuzhou to take up the post. After staying there for a year and a half, he asked someone to transfer the money and change his position. He would embark on a serious official career. Maybe he could earn a golden prince in the future and fulfill his long-cherished wish. , but what is this now?
He actually wants to take people from Liangshan to fight Tian Hu!

Song Jiang didn't understand the intention of the court. This was clearly to take the opportunity to consume Liangshan. It would be better to win, and it would be good to lose both sides. In short, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages for the court.

It's just that the court is not to blame for this matter, if the leaders hadn't clamored to be with their family, how could this matter have happened?
It is true that success is also Liangshan, and failure is also Liangshan!
Song Jiang was annoyed in his heart, but he was helpless. He had relied on the power of Liangshan to come to the present. If there was no Liangshan, no matter whether it was an official family or a court, who would know who he was Song Gongming from Shandong?

Seven days later, the army and horses were cut off. The original leaders were from the government, and almost all of them left, as did all the soldiers. There were only forty or fifty generals and thirty to fifty thousand soldiers left.

The rest of the leaders were very excited. They felt that it was the court's compromise that allowed them to be with their elder brother. Even if the family members were resettled in the capital, it was the elder brother who won the gift and respected Song Jiang more and more.

In another three days, Emperor Daojun named Song Jiang the vanguard of breaking the bandits, and Wu Yong as the deputy vanguard.

As the winter deepens, it is mid-November in a blink of an eye. At this time, there have been several snowfalls. The roofs of every house in Tokyo are covered with white, and the trees on both sides of the streets and houses are like Qiongzhi, which is too beautiful to behold.

Zhao Tong and Yao Pingzhong were watching the yellow horse in the stable, the horse had changed recently, it didn't grow much fat, but it was full of fat, and the yellow hair on its body gradually turned darker, a little red.

Now Yao Pingzhong was completely dumbfounded, how could the horse hair change color?Once the yellow hair grows into red, it has nothing to do with the sweat and blood, the yellow of the canal, and the yellow pus.

Zhao Tang looked at the yellow horse with his hands behind his back, maybe it was fat, but now the horse's body was wider than that of the Zhaoyeyu lion, a circle wider than when he was in Luzhou, especially the one with a big belly, as if Inflated drums.

He said: "Xiyan, almost half a year has passed, have you figured out who it is?"

Yao Pingzhong scratched his head, at this moment he didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, this yellow horse is about to become a red horse, he can't be wrong before this nonsense, it is actually the blood of Chiji and Hualiu, right?

He took a few steps forward and looked at the yellow horse. The yellow horse didn't bother to pay attention to him. Although it was sitting on the ground, its head rested on the distiller's grains in the stone trough, as if enjoying the aroma of the distiller's grains.

At this time, there is already distiller's lees, and it is considered a good thing.

Brewed in spring, sold in autumn is called small wine, brewed in winter, sold in summer is called big wine, after brewing is sealed and stored for many years, it is called old wine.

Among them, when drinking small wine and big wine, it needs to be filtered through a wine sieve. The so-called "sifting wine" refers to using a wine sieve to filter the residual distiller's grains in the small wine and big wine.

At this time, distiller's grains can be used for food. After all, they are food. It would be a pity if they were thrown away for nothing. So they researched many foods, such as Jiuniang Yuanxiao, Jiuniang meatballs, etc., which are considered delicious.

Yao Pingzhong leaned closer and sighed: "Look at you, how good this food is, how can you be so lazy, and even gain weight? How can you look like you in Mali? This belly... 嗞嗞, I'm afraid it's just Let's eat wine lees!"

Huang Ma raised his eyelids, glanced at Yao Pingzhong, and snorted lightly.

Yao Pingzhong reached out to touch the mane of the yellow horse, then pulled it away to look, and saw that even the roots had turned red, and could not help but lamented: "It's really turned red, what a big deal you are, what a ball!"

Huang Ma seemed to hear that his words were not good, and his ears stood up immediately, then he flicked his head, and at some point, he took a mouthful of wine lees, and sprayed it directly at Yao Pingzhong.

Yao Pingzhong jumped to the side with a "chuckle" and said with a sneer, "Damn it, come on!"

In the past six months, he has been sprayed countless times by the yellow horse, such as wood scum, bamboo foam, fodder, saliva, at first he was not paying attention, he was sprayed, and then he paid attention to dodge, but the yellow horse seems to be able to predict him The direction to dodge is still sprayed.

Depressed in his heart, he carefully studied the numbers of the yellow horse, and finally figured out some clues, and then he was able to avoid the spray of the yellow horse slowly.

The yellow horse was not annoyed when he saw him dodging over the wine lees, he let out a "hum", and continued to lie with his head sideways on the wine grains, his eyes half-opened and half-closed.

Yao Pingzhong looked at it: "Tamping goods, what is it?"

He really couldn't figure out what this yellow horse was, he had been a thief all the time, and now he had changed his color. He had never seen such a horse, let alone its bloodline, so he had no choice but to admit it.

"My lord, my subordinates really can't see it."

Zhao Tang knew that he had nothing to do with this horse, so he nodded. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Luo Jinshui trotting over from a distance.

"My lord, my lord..."

Zhao Tun frowned: "What's so flustered?"

Luo Jinshui came closer and said in a low voice, "My lord, the holy lady is here, and she is at the Green Willow Villa right now."

Zhao Tang raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, Liannazha is here?
