The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 407 Undercurrent
What Mu Xu said was right, Qingfeng Mountain was indeed undercurrent, and it had to start with Zhang Shuye, governor of Qingzhou.

It is said that Zhang Shuye, governor of Qingzhou, couldn't help being furious after receiving Su Yuanjing's official letter.After all, in Zhang Shuye's view, the bandits like Qingfengshan who dared to attack the local state capital and kill the imperial officials should be wiped out with heavy troops, and they must not be tolerated.

But as the saying goes, the first rank of the government crushes people to death, not to mention that Su Yuanjing is the current Taiwei, the celebrity in front of Zhao Guan's family, how can he, Zhang Shuye, a government official, can fool him?

In desperation, Zhang Shuye could only do it reluctantly, but he deliberately played a narrow-mindedness inside.He didn't choose to send people to negotiate in secret, instead he sent a team of dozens of people to go all the way towards Qingfeng Mountain, making a fuss about the court's request for security, as if he was afraid that others would not know about it.

The reason why Zhang Shuye did this was actually two purposes.One, it can paralyze Chao Gai, Song Jiang and his gang, making them think that the imperial court has given up the idea of ​​using force to suppress them, buying time for future troops, and killing them by surprise when they can't.

The two can intensify the internal conflicts in Qingfeng Mountain.Because judging from Zhang Shuye's many years of experience in suppressing bandits, except for a few bandits who are determined to rebel, most of them are actually willing to accept the imperial court's recruitment in exchange for a good background.He believed that the Qingfengshan gang was no exception, and there should be many such people.

It has to be said that Zhang Shuye's move was an out-and-out conspiracy, to some extent it can be said to be a crooked attack, and it hit Qingfeng Mountain seven inches above.

Sure enough, as soon as the envoy sent by Zhang Shuye left Qingzhou City, Qingfeng Mountain received the news.At that moment, under the call of Chao Gai and Song Jiang, a group of people sat in the Juyi Hall and began to discuss this matter seriously.

As mentioned above, Chao Gai is a relatively pure Jianghu.The life he yearns for is the kind of life where all the brothers get together, eat meat and drink in big bowls, and don't pay much attention to women's sex and fame and fortune.

Therefore, Chao Gai was the first to express his opposition to the imperial court's recruitment, and only listened to him.
"Among all my brothers, how many of us were driven to nowhere by corrupt officials, so we had to take risks and go up the mountain to fall into the grass? Today, we gathered together because of our loyalty to do justice for the sky. The sky doesn't care, the earth doesn't care, why bother?" Re-enter the filthy imperial court, to receive the bird's breath.

In my opinion, it is better to send someone directly down the mountain to send Zhang Shuye's envoy back, so as to save a lot of fuss, since I don't want to recruit security anyway. "

As soon as this remark came out, the atmosphere in the Juyi Hall suddenly became weird, led by Li Kui, Liu Tang, Bai Sheng, and Zhou Tong, they all echoed Chao Gai.But Qin Ming, Huang Xin, Guan Sheng, Suo Chao, Dai Zong and others were all silent, obviously having other ideas.

When Chao Gai saw this situation, his heart sank, but he still refused to give up, trying to get Song Jiang to stand up and agree with him, even if he asked him, "Brother Gongming, I don't know what you want?"

Who would have thought that Song Jiang would talk around and say, "Brother, how can such a big matter be decided so easily, it is better to think long-term."

Wu Yong also said at the right time, "Xiaosheng thinks that it is better to invite Zhang Shuye's envoy to the mountain, and listen to the conditions issued by the court first. If you don't see him behind closed doors, you will be rude to others, and you will make people in the world think, I'm afraid of the imperial court, and it's bad for my brother's reputation."

Chao Gai is not a fool, how can he fail to understand that Song Jiang and Wu Yong's singing together is clearly an intention to prevaricate himself.

What surprised Chao Gai even more was that when Song Jiang spoke, Qin Ming and the others, who were still lifeless just now, immediately persuaded him as if they had received a signal, as if he hadn't seen Zhang Shuye's envoy. What a heinous thing.

At this moment, Chao Gai finally realized that the thing he was most worried about had happened. He, the master of Qingfeng Mountain, was already in name only, almost being emptied by Song Jiang.

This can be seen from their respective supporters. For example, the brothers who are willing to support Chao Gai are either marginalized or lacking in ability. Among them is Li Kui, Song Jiang's hardcore confidant.

Look at who is standing on Song Jiang's side, such as Qin Ming, Guan Sheng, Huang Xin, Suo Chao, Hao Siwen, which one is not brave and controls most of Qingfeng Mountain's troops.

Chao Gai took a deep breath, and turned his gaze to the neutral Gongsun Sheng and the others, but to his disappointment, when they saw him looking at him, they either lowered their heads or turned their heads to the side, obviously determined Ideas don't help each other.

Seeing this scene, Chao Gai couldn't help showing a bit of bitterness on his face, and sighed in a dispirited way, "Forget it, I will leave this matter to Brother Gongming."

After all, Chao Gai didn't even say hello, he got up straight out of the Juyi Hall, and headed for Houzhai.

Looking at the somewhat sad figure of Chao Gai, even the dullest person can understand what happened.All of a sudden, a needle drop could be heard in the hall, and everyone couldn't help but look up at Song Jiang, to see what he would do.

Unexpectedly, Song Jiang didn't seem to notice it, and said with a normal face, "Brother Dai, you will go up the mountain on your behalf, and welcome the imperial envoys up the mountain."

When Dai Zong responded quickly, Song Jiangyou felt uneasy, and with an unprecedented seriousness, he scanned everyone around and said earnestly,

"Xiao Ke knows that some brothers have a lot of opinions on the government, and they are unwilling to bow their heads to recruit peace! But in life, a grass is born in an autumn, and a man is born in the world, and he will do something and not do it.

Don't talk about the current life, we should always think about the things behind us, don't you want to honor your ancestors and return to your hometown, and don't you want to give a thumbs up when the world mentions us thousands of years later? "

Speaking of this, Song Jiang saw many people showing signs of emotion, so he wanted to make persistent efforts and fully reveal his ambitions, but Li Kui yelled inappropriately,

"What do you say so much! I want to recruit security today, and I will recruit security tomorrow. I don't see the benefit of recruiting security! According to me, it's better to go back to the end with his mother. Let Brother Song sit on the dragon chair at that time." , assigning each of us to be a high-ranking official, wouldn't it be better than being a dog for others?"

"Tie Niu, don't talk nonsense!" Song Jiang was in a hurry and stopped him sharply.

But Li Kui was a fool at first, and he didn't listen to Song Jiang's words at all. He still retorted plausibly, "I'm not right. It just so happens that brother Gongming's surname is Song, so it's perfect to be the emperor of Song. Everyone said that I have nothing to say." Doesn't make sense?"

With Li Kui's interruption, the effect of what Song Jiang just said was greatly reduced, and some people who were interested in Chao Gai also started to boo.

"The official family name of the Great Song Dynasty is Zhao, not Song!"

"Tie Niu's words are reasonable. Instead of being a dog for someone, it's better to turn his mother against him."

"Yes, we are so happy on the mountain, why bother to look for discomfort?"...

Hearing the more and more outrageous people said, Song Jiang's face became extremely ugly, and when he was about to explode, he saw Wu Yong shook his head slightly at him, and then shouted loudly to stop,
"Quiet! Brother Gongming is just discussing with everyone, and it is not necessary to recruit security. Since the brothers have different opinions, let's discuss later! Let's step down first, how about we think about it separately?"

After being persuaded by Wu Yong, no matter what the leaders thought, they couldn't make a fuss anymore, so they had to disperse in twos and threes.

When only Song Jiang and Wu Yong were left in the Juyi Hall, Wu Yong said, "Brother, you shouldn't act so hastily, Xiaosheng is worried that it will backfire."

Song Jiang was puzzled and said, "Would you please enlighten me if you are a scholar?"

Wu Yong looked outside, and seeing no one around, he explained in a low voice, "As long as brother Chao Gai is around, this recruitment will not be possible. Brother, don't forget, if your name is not correct, you will not say anything." Shun, in the final analysis, he is the master of Qingfeng Mountain!"

　The weather this year is extremely hot, please do a good job of heatstroke prevention!
