A certain person is the Heavenly Killer Li Gui.

Chapter 155 Wu uses poisonous tactics to gain profits from three villages

But it was said that Song Jiang fled back to Fucheng in panic with his troops and horses. When he reported to the prefect Cheng Wanli, Cheng Wanli panicked.

"Didn't you agree to cooperate inside and outside?"

"Why did you get trapped inside instead?"

"Could it be that the thieves are playing tricks?"

Song Jiang saluted with a grimace and said:

"That's not the case. When we entered the stronghold, we were completely unprepared. We were caught off guard."

"I'm afraid that Brother Liu Tang was discovered by the other party when he was administering the medicine, so the leaders of the thieves are all intact."

"Dong Dujian most likely underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly. He was trapped in a tight siege and was killed. As a result, the Chinese army collapsed and the battle situation reversed."

"And I also saw the assassin Li Gui today. He is indeed a fierce general in the world. He is like a resurrected overlord. Ordinary generals are no match for him."

Cheng Wanli fell down and beat his chest, shouting repeatedly:

"Dong Ping mistaken me!"

"Dong Ping mistook me!"

"Now in the city, not only are the generals gone, but most of the imperial soldiers have also been lost. The rest are new troops and cannot be used."

"What if the Liangshan bandit attacks?"

"That's all, I'll ask the court for help again!"

Cheng Wanli was anxious, so he drove Song Jiang out with a wave of his hand, and went to his study to write a memorial to the court for help.

He knew very well that as soon as this memorial was sent to him, the court's evaluation of him would immediately be lowered, seriously affecting his career.

But now that life is at stake, there is no need to worry about so much.

He is not like Ding Enlu, the magistrate, who values ​​his official title more seriously than his life.

When weighing his life and his official position, he definitely gave priority to his life.

When Song Jiang left the prefect's mansion, Gongsun Sheng and others came up to greet him and asked, "What did the prefect say?"

Song Jiang sighed and said: "There are no soldiers or generals in the city now. The eunuch is worried that the Liangshan bandits will come down from the mountain to attack the city, so he is preparing to apply for support from the imperial court."

Wu Yong rolled his eyes and hatched a poisonous plan. He shook his feather fan and said with a smile:

"Brother Gongming, I have a plan here that can solve this problem immediately and allow my brother to go one step further."

Song Jiang was stunned and asked hurriedly: "Where does the plan come from?"

Wu Yong said bitterly:

"Brother, I don't know. Li Gui's behavior is the same as that of Huang Chao. He wants to equalize the land and kill all the gentry in the world. This is extremely childish!"

"For this reason, he killed all the small and medium-sized powerful people in the four counties around Liangshanbo, leaving only the big Zhuangzi who united with each other to protect themselves."

"That dog thief didn't want to hurt the soldiers, so he got along well with these Zhuangzi."

"Now that there are no soldiers or generals in the city, my brother might as well make suggestions to the prefect and recruit the powerful local armed forces."

"Those big Zhuangzi want soldiers and generals. They don't even need money and food from the court. They only need to promise them some military officers and official positions."

"They originally had a grudge against the Liangshan bandit. Now that they have a name, they can not only eliminate hidden dangers, but also get some official positions to strengthen their family. How can they not want to?"

"Furthermore, the local tycoons have always been quite powerful, and even local officials have to give them some face. These tycoons often use this opportunity to interfere in local government affairs, causing headaches for officials in various places. They try every means to weaken the local government. A powerful force."

"Now if we use the powerful forces from this place to suppress the Liangshan bandits, one of the two tigers will be injured. No matter who wins or loses, it will be of great benefit to Governor Cheng!"

After Song Jiang heard this, he suddenly understood and immediately handed over his hands and thanked him:

"Mr. Jialiang is indeed so wise that he came up with such a clever plan in a matter of seconds!"

"With this strategy, the city of Dongping will be worry-free!"

Wu Yong hugged the feather fan and returned the courtesy with a smile: "We are all here for peace in the world, what can we thank you for?" Song Jiang said seriously: "I don't thank you for myself now, I thank you for the people in this city. Please sir, please don’t refuse!”

After saying this, Song Jiang bowed respectfully to the ground. How could someone like Li Gui be capable of such a style?
When Wu Yong was scratched, he no longer resisted and accepted the worship calmly.

Song Jiang said again:

"I have to add Mr. Liang to make him even more powerful!"

"Sir, please stay for a moment. I will go and report to the prefect first. When I come back, we two brothers will have a drink and talk in depth."

Song Jiang hurriedly went to ask for an audience again. Wu Yong proudly shook his feather fan, feeling secretly angry in his heart.

"Li, you have repeatedly failed to use my strategies, and now I'm letting you know the consequences of offending me!"

Cheng Wanli heard that Song Jiang had come in. After hearing what he said, he was immediately moved.

Using local tyrants to suppress local bandits is like a dog biting a dog, and whoever dies is a good thing!

Even if it fails, it will reduce the power of local powerful people and make it easier for them to govern in the future.

When he looked at Song Jiang again, his eyes were different.

"Gong Mingguo is dedicated to the public good and is truly a pillar of talent!"

"It's a pity that Gongming didn't concentrate on his studies, otherwise someone would have recommended him to the court so that Gongming could go on the right path."

"But Gongming, don't be discouraged. Even a military commander will still serve the imperial court."

"A certain person has requested the imperial court to promote you to the position of commander and lead the team to conquer Liangshan. If you perform meritorious service in the future, you will be rewarded."

Song Jiang hurriedly bowed down and thanked him profusely, which made Governor Cheng even more satisfied.

Governor Cheng changed the content of the memorial and issued an order, asking Hujiazhuang and other local powerful men to send generals and troops into the city to assist in the defense.

Speaking of Song Jiang, after he resigned, he returned to his residence with Wu Yong and others, and asked the restaurant to bring a banquet to cleanse Wu Yong. At the same time, he also wanted to get more strategies for suppressing bandits from Wu Yong.

Although Liu Tang had shared all the information he knew before, Liu Tang himself was just a fool without any wisdom. Even though he knew many things, he didn't know how to use them.

But Wu Yong was different. He was very wise and well-read poetry and books. His thoughts were always clear and strange, which made everyone enlightened.

While they were having a feast, suddenly footsteps came from outside. When everyone looked up, it was Hua Rong who was back.

Everyone was overjoyed and rushed to greet him.

When asked how to come back, Hua Rong sighed and said:
"Someone thought that his life was not saved, so he drowned himself in order to keep his body intact."

"Unexpectedly, the thief Li was rescued by people, and he wanted to kill me and brother Liu Tang to sacrifice the flag."

"After I woke up, the thieves came one after another to persuade me to become a thief."

"My younger brother is determined not to do so. Then Thief Li will not let me go and will only keep me prisoner in the mountains."

"There was a general in that stronghold named Wu Song. Because I didn't kill him when I shot him with an arrow before, he felt my feelings and secretly sent me down the mountain."

"I don't know how that thief Li will make things difficult for him!"

When Song Jiang heard Wu Song's name, he nodded and said:

"I once met Wu Erlang once in Chai Daguanren Zhuangzi. I knew that he was a man who lived up to his extravagance. Unfortunately, he was taken advantage of by Li Gui."

"Such a good man deserves to join the army and have a happy reunion with my brothers. He only regrets that I can't save him from suffering!"

Wu Yong said:

"Wu Erlang is not the only good man on the mountain!"

"Lin Chong was once the instructor of the 80-strong Forbidden Army. Ruda was once the commander-in-chief of Lao Zhong of the Western Army. Wang Jin, Qin Ming, Xu Ning, etc. were all from the army. Qin Ming also fought in Yishui County. Li Gui, but in the end these heroes were all made rich by Li Gui."

"This Li Gui is good at coaxing people. He only pretends to be bold and bold, and he has deceived many heroes and dragged him into the pirate ship."

"If the elder brother wants to save people, the younger brother also has a plan."
