The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 87
After Zhao Gou arranged everything, he issued a military order to have fun with the people.At this time, both the Liangshan army and the Song army were like a family, gathering together and talking happily.Liang Shanjun was a man with a bold personality, but he did not distinguish between each other, so that the soldiers of the Song Army also felt a different kind of brotherhood.

"Your Majesty, I have something to ask, can you agree?" Song Jiang raised his glass and said respectfully.

Although Zhao Gou was young, the man in Song Dynasty didn't drink alcohol. In such a warm atmosphere, he also raised his glass to drink with everyone, and said with a smile: "The leader of Song Dynasty accepts the imperial court's recruitment, and he is a family. He doesn't need to be called the king of the county. , just call me brother! In front of people, I am the commander of the first army and the king of the Great Song Dynasty. In private, I am Zhao Gou, without any identity. I don’t know what’s going on with Brother Gongming, but it’s okay to say it!”

Seeing that Zhao Gou didn't have any airs, Song Jiang became more casual, but he didn't dare to call Brother Zhao Gou, and still said: "My lord, there are more than [-] soldiers in Shuibo Liangshan. I want them to follow General Zhang Shuye." , or the army of the West Road will return to the barracks together and officially become soldiers of the imperial court. If we let them go to the capital with us, the journey is far away. I am afraid they will not be able to hold on. , stay in the army to serve the Great Song Dynasty, I wonder if my lord can agree?"

Zhao Gou groaned and said nothing, he also felt that the army of more than 1 people followed him back to Beijing, which would not have a good impact, and if something really happened, he would prevent another attack.Song Jiang's suggestion is equivalent to solving the tangled matter in his heart, without any worries.Moreover, the imperial court will also use this to talk about them, which is not a good thing.

Song Jiang made this suggestion and discussed it with Wu Yong and others. They decided to submit to the imperial court and accept the recruitment, so they didn't want to cause any more disputes. If they went to Beijing with more than 1 troops, people who didn't know would think that he attacked the capital again. In this way, it is difficult for Zhao Gou to say anything. Even if Song Jiang doesn't have the heart, some people will use this to make trouble.

"It's useless for me to agree to this matter. We still need to see what the two generals want!" Zhao Gou looked at Zhang Shuye and Wang Mingcheng, the commander of the West Road Army. They also agreed with Song Jiang's suggestion and were willing to accept it. Soldiers, divided them into two teams, and each led 5000 people away.

As for, all the cities that Song Jiang captured before were also returned to the imperial court, and the speed was astonishing.Zhao Gou had never paid attention to the corpses of the soldiers who died in battle. Song Jiang, in order to show his submission, sent letters to various cities overnight to persuade them to surrender.Sure enough, after receiving Song Jiang's letter, everyone donated their cities and surrendered to the imperial court one after another. It was a surprise that the previously lost city returned to the Song Dynasty again.

Zhao Gou felt Song Jiang's sincerity, smiled slightly, and then went on to drink with everyone.At the same time, several of Zhou Tong's disciples gathered together for the first time, sitting around and drinking wine.Zhao Gou could not reveal his identity due to other matters, so he had a drink with Song Jiang, Zeng Xiaoyun, Zhang Shuye and others.

Arranged in order according to the time of entry: Lu Junyi, Lin Chong, Wu Song, Shi Jin, Yue Fei, Tang Huai, Zhang Xian and others are registered disciples, not included.Wu Song was expelled from the school by Zhou Tong again, and all the four major disciples gathered together.Since Tang Huai, Zhang Xian and others had already been greeted by Zhao Gou, they were not allowed to reveal their identities, and they were the only ones sitting together.

"Little brother, when did the master die?" Lu Junyi raised his wine glass and said in a deep voice.

Yue Fei said sadly: "Last October!"

Everyone was silent, they were all Zhou Tong's disciples, they were deeply favored and did not dare to show any disrespect.Even though Wu Song was expelled from the school, he still respectfully called Zhou Tong his master in his heart.A generation of martial arts master Zhou Tong passed away, and his disciples were not around, only Yue Fei and others were there to serve him.

"Senior Brother, why did Master expel you from the sect?" Yue Fei looked at Wu Song and asked.

Wu Song dressed in the shape of an ascetic monk, and said with a wry smile: "It's hard to describe in a word. After I finished my studies, I sold martial arts in the street to make a living. I was tabooed by my master. Later, I killed the thief and sent him to the army. I met my master on the way. He taught me some things. Wu Yi expelled me from the school, and since then I am not allowed to call him a master."

Yue Fei said in a deep voice: "Master accepts apprentices through strict screening, and must strictly abide by the ten taboos of our sect. I know that Master is the most taboo about these things. Brother, you are so confused."

Lu Junyi then said: "Little brother, the third brother is not to blame for this incident, he also killed people out of helplessness, all because of his elder brother. Although showing off his martial arts on the street aroused Master's taboo, at that time Master He didn't say anything. He was expelled from the school only because he beat someone to death, sent him into exile and helped his friends punish rape and eliminate evil, but was discovered by the master."

"These things have already passed, and the master has treated me with such kindness as a mountain!" Wu Song sighed, and said: "The master saw me punishing rape and eliminating evil, and when I was fighting against Jiang Menshen, I knew that I was still not good at playing games, and finally agreed with me." Seeing that he taught me a set of kicks, he finally cut off the relationship between master and apprentice."

"At that time, I was drunk and beat Jiang's door god, and I had some prestige in the Jianghu. However, the master knew the darkness of the officialdom and observed everything secretly. He knew that those people would retaliate afterwards and didn't want me to be hurt, so he came forward to teach me martial arts. Until I After discovering their conspiracy, the matter got out of hand and there was nothing to do, so I realized that the master was afraid that I would hurt my life."

Yue Fei was silent. He also heard about Wu Song's deeds, but he didn't expect things to be so complicated during this period.However, when Zhou Tong mentioned Wu Song, he also had helplessness and heartache.If Wu Song's kung fu is practiced well, he can become a talent. It's a pity that he ruined his future. He didn't learn marksmanship. He is tall, even Lu Junyi would be inferior in terms of bravery.

"Master is unhappy in the officialdom, I'm all to blame for this!" Jiu Wenlong Shi Jin took a sip of wine, Yue Fei and the others looked at him together, Lu Junyi and the others had already known about it, so they were not surprised.Shi Jin said angrily, "If it wasn't for my disobedience to my master's orders, my dealings with people in the Jianghu, and even killing officers and soldiers, I've hurt my master and made him depressed, unable to be reused by the court, and finally returned to his hometown when he was old."

Everyone was looking back on their past, especially Wu Song and Shi Jin were filled with regret.They have bold personalities and value love and righteousness. They also know that Zhou Tong hates iron but not steel, which chills his heart.Lu Junyi, Lin Chong and others also narrated some of Zhou Tong's past events one after another. Lin Chong also revealed the reason why Lu Junyi hadn't contacted him because of his anonymity these years.

The few of them were also happy and a little sad, naturally they drank enough wine.Everyone was drunk, Lu Junyi and others continued to drink, and even Hua Monk Lu Zhishen fell asleep holding the wine jar.However, even Yue Fei didn't expect what happened next.

Everyone drank about the same, fell to the ground and fell asleep, even the soldiers outside the camp were full, with happy smiles on their faces.Zhao Gou looked at the crowd, saw that they were still drinking together, and heard what they said.Zhao Gou knew a little about Zhou Tong's past.

Zhao Gou also drank a lot of wine, but these drinks did not have much effect on him and could not affect him in the slightest.He calmly walked up to Yue Fei and the others, and said with a smile, "I wonder if I can join them?"

Lu Junyi and the others were drinking happily, and were a little unhappy to be disturbed. They raised their heads and saw Zhao Gou's smiling face. They hurriedly nodded in agreement. Yue Fei felt even better when he saw Zhao Gou coming.Tang Huai, Zhang Xian and others had already drunk and got down on the ground. Zhao Gou looked at everyone, saw that they were all looking at him in doubt, and smiled slightly: "All of you come with me, if you have anything to ask!"

Lu Junyi, Wu Song, Shi Jin and others looked at each other, while Lin Chong and Yue Fei stood up and walked out behind Zhao Gou. Seeing this, they had no choice but to follow, but their steps were a little staggering and unsteady. Shaking, after finally stabilizing his figure, he saw Zhao Gou standing in front of them.

Zhao Gou defeated Lu Junyi, he felt a little admiration in his heart, bowed his head and said, "I don't know why the three of us are called by the Lord County King?"

"Everyone is welcome, you don't have to be polite with me!" Zhao Gou smiled casually, and said, "You can call me junior brother!"

"Junior brother?" Lu Junyi, Wu Song and the others were taken aback and looked at Zhao Gou dumbfounded.

Yue Fei was surprised and said: "This..."

Zhao Gou shook his head, stopped what he wanted to say, and said: "Brother Yue, I understand what you want to say. But there are some things that need not be hidden, and some things still need to be hidden. Today is just a chance, I have something to ask, even if it is Yue Brother, you don’t even know about things, only senior brothers know, so you have to ask clearly.”

Yue Fei bowed his head in thought, Lin Chong was very surprised, Lu Junyi and the others were startled awake by Zhao Gou's words, and they woke up in the blink of an eye who had been drowsy before.They all looked at Lin Chong at the same time, and seeing him nodding, they believed what Zhao Gou said was true. They were taken aback, and thought: "So, the youngest junior should be Zhao Gou, the king of Guangping County, not Yue Fei? What's going on? Why is the prince living outside?"
