Water Margin begins as a captain in Yanggu County

Chapter 152 God is really unfair!
Upon hearing this, Su Wu turned around and saw Song Jiang, whose veins were bulging. He wanted to see Tong Shumi?
Su Wu did not even look at the slaughter scene, but just said: "Take this thief leader Song Jiang to the main tent in the camp!"

"Understood sir!" Li Cheng went to do it.

Su Wu was too lazy to argue, so he turned around, slowly squeezed out of the crowd, and climbed up the high wall of the pass, just to overlook the entire battlefield.

The battle was over. Looking around, there were countless people kneeling on the ground. A rough estimate was that there were probably tens of thousands of them. It made sense for them to stay...

Su Wu also wants to build the Liangshan stronghold, and he will need people to do the hard labor. Su Wu has recently begun to pay attention to the iron mines in the two routes of Jingdong. There is an iron mine in Yizhou that is relatively easy to mine.

Now Su Wu no longer thinks like a military leader, but has a business mindset. Iron ore is the top priority, followed by copper mines. Jeju produces copper, so it must also be mined vigorously.

After this battle, Su Wu also thought that Cheng Wanli would really become a frontier official, not only with power in his hands, but also with prestige. With Tong Guan in the capital, the two routes of Jingdong would definitely become their base as long as they were managed well.

Then the development of the mine is a big deal, how could Su Wu not think about it?
There is even the matter of coal mining, which exists in Yanzhou. This thing is very meaningful, and some people actually use it among the people, but it is not widespread. There are also ignorant ideas, such as that coal mines are poisonous.

These problems are actually very easy to solve. It's just a matter of a stove and a chimney. As long as we promote the stove, coal will no longer be a problem.

Compared with iron ore and copper mines, coal mines may be even more important. They are the beginning of all industrial production and can truly change the entire pattern of the era. They are also relatively easy to obtain, and it is obviously not difficult for Su Wu to promote them.

Even if coal is truly mined and promoted, the efficiency of iron and copper smelting will more than double. Once the efficiency of metal smelting increases greatly and coal appears in the smelting industry, the quality of metal production can be greatly improved.

When Su Wu came to Japan, he could even dump iron and copper abroad at low prices, destroying the metal industry throughout the country.

Metal is not just a tool, metal is actually money. At this moment, the smelting industry can even be considered a financial industry.

Of course, nominally it was not Su Wu’s dumping, but Jingdong’s two-way dumping, and it was the government’s dumping.

Su Wu had these business plans in mind. Aren't these thieves the best free laborers?

Su Wu was really devoted to the goal of having a real base. He was not afraid of being plucked by others. In the short term, as long as Tong Guan and Cheng Wanli did not fall, no one could pluck the fruits of his work.

In the long run, the world will be in chaos in the future, and whoever can protect this base will have the base in his hands.

Su Wu just wanted to do it, and no one could take away the base from now on.

Even the officials in Jingdong and Jingdong will be replaced from top to bottom. It all depends on how to operate. In the short term, Tong Guan and Cheng Wanli will be the main operators. Tong Guan does not have many civil servants, but Cheng Wanli has always had many good friends, either classmates, fellow villagers, or good friends...

Now, the situation is very different and it can be done.

If you think about it for a long time, Su Wu can even make plans on his own and take advantage of whoever he likes, since he has a big tree with a name behind him anyway.

It would be best if we could get a whole family at once. Although the Song Dynasty at that time was far from having the real aristocratic families like those in the Tang Dynasty and before the Tang Dynasty, there were still families with countless officials in the Song Dynasty.

For example, Zhao Mingcheng's family and Li Qingzhao's family are both such families.

Bringing together the entire family at once and placing them in various places in the base as officials has its own advantages, which is that it binds the entire family. A large family, with old and young all here, means that the interests of the entire family and even their lives are at stake.

Of course, there are also disadvantages. There is nothing that has only advantages and no disadvantages. It all depends on how you choose and how you handle it.

Why did Su Wu suddenly think this way?

Because from reading history books, whether it is the Han Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty, the formation of aristocratic families has its major drawbacks, but the formation of aristocratic families also has its extremely useful aspects.

It’s like how Liu Xiu of the Eastern Han Dynasty rose again?

That was because the aristocratic families gave strong support from behind. The same was true for the Three Kingdoms. Both the Yuan family and the Cao family had the support of aristocratic families from all over the country.

The same is true for the Li Tang family.

Su Wu wanted to copy homework. He was originally a military man in the Song Dynasty. Now that he had no aristocratic family, he wanted to create one or two regional aristocratic families and tie these one or two families firmly behind himself.

Of course, this era cannot produce the kind of true aristocratic families of the past, as the soil and foundation for the survival of such true aristocratic families of the past have long since disappeared. However, Su Wu has achieved his goal by creating one that is similar in form but not in spirit.

Without literati, nothing would be possible, but in the Song Dynasty, literati made a big difference. Su Wu racked his brains, thinking how to break this pattern?

Creating two regional families might be one of the solutions. It depends on Su Wu to choose which two families to create.

Once it is created, the interests of this regional family will be inconsistent with those of other literati, and may even be inconsistent with the interests of the emperor.

Only if his interests are consistent with those of the "military leader" Su Wu, then Su Wu can truly be the boss of Cao.

The structure in which the literati and the emperor of the Song Dynasty were deeply bound together was really breached by Su Wu.

Perhaps this idea is a historical regression, but Su Wu had to give it a try, otherwise there was really no way to do it.

Su Wu thought about it and found only this solution in the history book given to him by Cheng Xiaoniang.

If everything really came true and the great event was completely settled, Su Wu could really use all the literati in the world, and then dismantle the family he had created with his own hands, which would not be a difficult task...

There are too many things in the distance to think about, so just look at what’s happening right in front of you and try to break the situation first.

The ropes tied up the kneeling thieves one by one.

The Liangshan stronghold must also be searched thoroughly again.

The auxiliary troops began to clean up the battlefield, and most of the soldiers began to slowly return to the camp.

Su Wu was on his way back to the camp when someone came with a horse. However, he did not ride it. Instead, he kept thinking about what he was going to do next.

To create a family of his own, to create a regional family of his own.

We have to choose, and choose people. Zhao Mingcheng is not good, but the Zhao family is actually not bad. Moreover, the Zhao family has been suppressed by Cai Jing for a long time and has just been rehabilitated. They are all minor officials, and many of them even make a living as clerks.

If Su Wu used Cheng Wanli and Tong Guan to bring a large number of Zhao family members to Shandong to serve as officials, or even bring all of them to serve as officials, it seems that this road has begun...

The Zhao family is originally from Shandong, and is also the family of a prime minister, so their ability to manage government affairs is beyond doubt.

Li Qingzhao's family was also large, and there were many officials in the family, but they were all low-ranking officials, and the same principle applied...

We should plan this matter. Once it is accomplished, the power and popularity of the Zhao family will decline again...

Su Wu walked slowly and thought slowly, and slowly came to the central military tent of Liangshan's rear camp.

There were many people in the big tent, including Wu Song, Lin Chong, Qin Ming, Suo Chao, Zhang Qing, Xu Guanzhong...

In the middle of the big tent, there was a man named Song Jiang. He was not tied up, but was left standing there, with tears streaming down his face...

When Su Wu walked in, everyone stood up and saluted, all with smiles on their faces. It goes without saying how great his achievement was.

The voices of greeting came one after another.

Su Wu walked to the front and sat in the middle, sitting down with a straight face. He then pressed his arms left and right, signaling everyone not to be polite and to sit down as well.

The voices of thanks came one after another.

Su Wu looked around, nodded, then looked at Song Jiang and said, "Song Yasi!"

Song Jiang bowed quickly: "Here!"

Su Wu said bluntly: "Song Yasi Dang is not a cowardly person!"

Song Jiang's face turned pale, not understanding what Su Wu meant.

Is a person afraid of death? This is a complicated matter. Take Song Jiang for example. He is and is not. He is willing to do anything to survive, such as running away, pretending to be crazy, and eating excrement...

It's not that he is wrong, but that's not the case either. Rebellion means losing your head, but he did it anyway.

Then Song Jiang said, "I am stupid and don't know what the general means."

Su Wu frowned and looked at Song Jiang. Was he going to act crazy again at this moment?
Su Wu said, "You want to see Tong Shumi. Do you have anything to say to him?"

Song Jiang's face turned redder when he heard this, and he bowed and replied: "It is to tell of our loyalty to the country and the people, and also to tell of my loyalty to the emperor."

"Then what qualifications do you have to serve the country, the people and the emperor?" Su Wu asked.

Song Jiang raised his hand to the south and said, "I have a sincere heart to serve my country."

"Your heart to serve the country? As an official, you disregarded the law, colluded with bandits, and committed countless crimes. As a landlord, you spent money and food lavishly to win people's hearts. As a prisoner, you raised an army and became a bandit, wreaking havoc in the state government and robbing the people. In this way, can you be loyal? Can you serve the country?"

Su Wu's words became a little serious.

Song Jiang's face turned pale again, but he still had something to say: "Corrupt officials are rampant, forcing people to be helpless. Loyal and righteous people have no way to serve their country. This is the only way!"

"Oh... In that case, tell me about the persecution you suffered at the hands of corrupt officials. Tell me how much grievance you want to redress?" Su Wu asked again.

To say that Lin Chong said this is true.

What right did Song Jiang have to say this? Who had oppressed him? What injustices had he suffered?
Song Jiang, however, still said with great righteousness: "I am not doing this for myself, but for the people of the world!"

"When you let your soldiers plunder, were there any innocent people harmed? Were those innocent people the people of the world? Was there any injustice and blood and tears in the food you ate and the money you spent?" Su Wu asked again.

"How can I be innocent in everything when I serve the people of the world and enforce justice on behalf of Heaven?" Song Jiang really started to debate with Su Wu.

After hearing this, Su Wu looked around and said, "This time, I will also avenge the wronged man and the wronged ghost under your command. I am also doing this for the people of the world. This time, I am also doing justice for them. Are you convinced, Song Yashi?"

Song Jiang was stunned when he heard this, and immediately said: "I have great ambitions to serve my country. The common people only want three meals a day. They don't know the suffering of the world, but only see the immediate benefits and live in a muddleheaded way. I read the books of sages, understand the great principles, and seek the benefits of the world. How can they compare with me?"

Su Wu understood that he could kill people but he could not be killed by others, because how could the lives of ordinary people be compared with the life of Song Yasi, who had great ambitions?
Elitism, sophisticated egoism, if such people really gain power...

Su Wu was not judging the crime, but the person and his heart, and he was judging in front of everyone present. Perhaps many of the people present still had sympathy for Song Jiang.

This sympathy may come from past interactions, or from Song Jiang's reputation as a timely rain.

For example, Huang Xin under Qin Ming, Lin Chong... and even Wu Song. Wu Song has always had a good impression of Song Jiang in the martial arts world.

It is not difficult for Su Wu to kill Song Jiang, but there must be such a conversation. Let me tell you all about it.

After hearing these words, Su Wu went to see Wu Song first.

Wu Song's expression had changed at this time. He was just a common man who had never read the books of sages and grew up relying on his brother's small business for food and clothing.

Su Wu went to see Lin Chong again.

Lin Chong also lowered his head. Lin Chong was a man with a soft heart. Even if Song Jiang confessed that he had killed innocent people, Lin Chong would not lower his head. He still had some sympathy for Song Jiang in his heart.

Su Wu had more to say: "Song Yashi, I am going to kill you today, but I want to hear you say one more thing. If you can persuade me with your words, I will spare your life. If you can't persuade me, your head today will be worth a great merit."

After Su Wu finished speaking, he leaned back in his seat and watched Song Jiang's final performance.

Song Jiang opened his mouth and said, "General Su is a brave and courageous general who leads his troops by example. He is a very upright and heroic man. I am Song Jiang, and I have a good reputation in the martial arts world. I am supported by the heroes of the martial arts world and I have always responded to his call. As long as General Su spares my life, I will work hard for the general. If the general is short of soldiers, I can recruit tens of thousands of people to serve you. If the general is short of brave heroes, I can also gather old acquaintances to die for him. I only hope that the general will stay with me so that I can work hard for the general and serve the court!"

From his words, it is clear that Song Jiang does not want to die. He is a useful person, and his usefulness lies in his words.

In fact, Su Wu was just waiting for Song Jiang to say this.

Although these words of begging for mercy were not servile, as long as Song Jiang said these words, his sense of security in this big tent would definitely be greatly reduced.

Why?

Logically speaking, according to rumors in Jianghu, Song Jiang is so great, so heroic, and so righteous.

At this time, all the trusted brothers under his command who had entrusted their lives to him had been killed or injured. He should have gone to his death with a dignified and righteous attitude, which would have been the behavior of a real hero!

His only reliance for survival is still the heroes who work for his reputation.

Su Wu's previous words, saying that Song Jiang was trying to win people's hearts, didn't it come true now?
What is Hu Baoyi from Shandong? What is the timely rain from Yuncheng?

Su Wu didn't wait any longer and said nothing more. He stood up and said, "Come on, drag him out and chop him off!"

The soldiers outside the door came in and dragged the people away. No one in the room said a word, they just watched quietly.

The soldiers held Song Jiang's arm and dragged him. Song Jiang immediately shouted, "General Su, what I, Song Jiang, said is true. I know that General Su is in need of soldiers and generals at this time. How can you not believe my words?"

Su Wu smiled slightly and said to his left and right: "What a filthy fellow!"

Everyone heard what was said in the big tent today, and tomorrow, it will spread throughout the east of Beijing. What Su Wu wanted was for his image to collapse.

Song Jiang had already been dragged out, but he still shouted: "General Su, if you have anything to entrust to me, just tell me!"

This Song Jiang is really different from ordinary people. The way he begs for mercy is not to ask for mercy.

But who couldn't hear that Song Jiang was begging for mercy?
Song Jiang also said: "General Su, I am a scholar, not a warrior. Why are you so afraid of me?"

Song Jiang thought Su Wu was afraid of him, but what kind of general would not be tempted by his words? Even if he told Tong Guan of the Privy Council, he would probably be tempted...

Inside the big tent, Su Wu sat down without saying a word. He just looked at the people around him, and everyone was also silent.

Only Wu Song spoke up: "Brother, I was fooled by this fellow's pretentiousness! He is really not a good man!"

Su Wu nodded and said, "My brothers, this time we won a great victory against the bandits, and everyone has contributed. I will report this to Secretary Tong in person!"

Everyone was smiling, and their future had taken a step forward.

Only Zhang Qing felt a little embarrassed. He bowed and said, "General Su... I am ashamed of this."

Su Wu waved his hand and said, "Don't think too much. Didn't you also die in battle? You have done a great deed."

Zhang Qing stood up and bowed: "Thank you, General Su!"

Outside the tent, from afar, Song Jiang could be heard shouting, "General Su, how can I, Song Jiang, be useless? How can I be killed like this? I..."

But Song Jiang suddenly paused, not because the executioner's axe fell, but because Song Jiang suddenly saw a person. That person was very familiar to him. He was his best and most trusted brother, named Hua Rong.

Before Su Wu went on the expedition, he did not leave Hua Rong in Jingyang Village, but specially recruited Hua Rong to the army. Just now... Hua Rong was not in the big tent, but was outside the big tent.

The conversation between Su Wu and Song Jiang was even more so in front of Hua Rong.

However, Song Jiang saw Hua Rong at a glance, and after a pause, he hurriedly said, "Brother Hua Rong, brother Hua Rong." Song Jiang was already being taken to a horse trough, and Hua Rong actually walked closer at this time, holding a jar of wine in his hand.

When Hua Rong came closer, Song Jiang immediately said, "Brother Hua Rong, it really is you. You are still alive, and now you have a job under General Su?"

Hua Rong nodded, his face somewhat sad, and said: "Well, General Su forgave my crime and allowed me to move around in the army."

Song Jiang was overjoyed when he heard this: "Brother Hua Rong, go and talk to General Su quickly. He may not believe what I said just now. He doesn't believe that I can get a lot of support from the Jianghu. I can really help General Su recruit soldiers and generals, which can solve his urgent problem..."

Hua Rong nodded: "Brother Gongming, thieves are thieves, soldiers are soldiers, and General Su always recruits people from good families... not bandits..."

"How can you say that? Isn't Wu Erlang also a man of the world? Didn't you also follow a thief?" Song Jiang was puzzled. It was not that Song Jiang was not smart, but that Su Wu was incompatible with the people and things of that era.

It is Su Wu's problem, not Song Jiang's problem. If someone else, a different general, had the same role and status as Su Wu today, whether it was Qin Ming or Zhang Qing, perhaps Song Jiang would be alive today.

Hua Rong's face was still sad, and he only said: "Brother Gongming, I don't have the face to come to see you, but we have a bond. If I don't come to see you off, won't you be lonely and cold?"

"Brother Hua Rong, what do you mean?" Song Jiang looked at Hua Rong in a daze.

"Brother, there is no way to survive..." Hua Rong sighed.

"Brother Hua Rong, why don't you save me?" Song Jiang really couldn't understand. He lowered his head slightly and watched Hua Rong pouring wine into the bowl.

Hua Rong really shook his head and cried: "Brother, it's not that I don't want to save you, it's just that it's impossible to save you. General Su is different from others. He is not the same as you and me. What you said just now should not be said like that..."

Hua Rong did not spend much time with Su Wu, but he spent a long time with Lin Mao, Hu Yanzhuo, and Yang Zhi, and the Su Wu described by these people was truly different.

General Na Su was brave and courageous, always leading his troops from the front and treating his officers and soldiers with generosity and sincerity.

General Su was kind to everyone. He treated everyone equally, regardless of their background. He had a thorough understanding of things and was very righteous. Even if the matter was very big, General Su would dare to cover up for others.

In the eyes of the people, General Su, even when he was insignificant, dared to confront the strong and powerful, just for justice.

"What should I say?" Song Jiang asked.

Hua Rong had already filled a bowl with wine, and replied: "Brother, if you want to talk about scholars, you should have the character of a famous scholar. If you want to talk about your reputation in the past, you should only talk about your compassion. If you want to talk about the court, you should list the court's shortcomings and talk about the real big policy to eliminate the shortcomings. If you want to talk about the people, you should blame yourself. If you want to talk about brothers, you should cry bitterly. How can you beg for mercy like that?"

"When did I ever beg for mercy?" Song Jiang replied.

"Alas..." Hua Rong sighed.

Song Jiang said again: "If I say so, General Su will let me go?"

"Not necessarily..." Hua Rong replied.

"Brother Hua Rong, since you have already got a job under General Su, you should go and speak to me..." Song Jiang said again, his face full of anticipation.

Even though Hua Rong and Song Jiang have the deepest friendship, how could they not help him plead for mercy?

Did he really die like that?

With such great ambitions and so many requests, all I want is an official position and a chance to serve the emperor. Why is God so blind?

With such a great reputation and such a huge stronghold, how many people would bow down to him and how many would die for him?
How could he die like this without even seeing the emperor?
Hua Rong shook his head: "It's useless to say more, brother, I'm here to see you off, please drink this cup! There are many brothers to accompany you on the road, and you won't be alone then. I know what you want, maybe it's all in vain..."

Hua Rong presented a bowl of wine with both hands.

Song Jiang subconsciously took the wine, a little absent-minded, and suddenly asked: "What is so good about Su Wu? How could you, a brother, be so loyal to him in such a short time?"

Hua Rong was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Song Jiang, but replied: "Brother, how can you talk about loyalty? How can General Su trust a bandit like me at this moment? If you really want to ask what is good about General Su? I can't explain it clearly, but he is really a man who deserves respect."

Upon hearing this, Song Jiang looked down at the wine in his hand and was dazed for a moment. Was he really...really going to die?
Behind him, there were soldiers urging him: "Hurry up, hurry up, you are the leader of the big bandits, you should be a man, drink some wine so that you can go on the road, if you don't want to drink, just put it down, the general will send someone to urge you, just to think that I sympathize with you, a bandit who has done so many evil things!"

Hearing this, Song Jiang suddenly stood up straight, looked around, and then looked at Hua Rong...

Hua Rong bowed and said, "Brother, let's say goodbye now. I really can't bear to see you in person again..."

Having said that, Hua Rong turned around. He valued friendship the most. Even though this friendship had depreciated a lot in his heart now, he still couldn't bear to look at it any longer.

Seeing Hua Rong really turned around, Song Jiang subconsciously said: "Brother Hua Rong..."

"Okay, okay, if you don't want to eat it, just pour it out!" The soldier behind him came to press on.

Song Jiang had a bowl of wine in his hands, which was spilled all over the floor by the push, and the bowl also fell and broke into pieces.

Someone was pressing on him from behind, and someone was pulling Song Jiang's hair in front of him, fixing his head on the trough.

The long sword was raised!

Song Jiang looked to the side and could still see the mountain stronghold pass. He was already in a trance and muttered something: "God is unfair. Why can others pass the imperial examination but not me? Why can others be recruited and given official positions but not me..."

The long knife came down, and before my eyes there was blood, then gray, then black...

I could even hear the words of the soldiers behind me: "Take it and show it to the general!"

God is so unfair!
When the heads arrived at the big tent, Su Wu took a look and said, "Come on, send them to Dongping Prefecture on fast horses!"

"Yes, sir!" Someone came from outside the door, took the head and left.

Su Wu looked around and said: "We should send people to guard this mountain stronghold to prevent others from occupying it and becoming bandits."

Xu Guanzhong nodded and replied: "General, what you said makes sense. This place is really good. It would be a pity to abandon it. I wonder who you are going to send to station here?"

Su Wu thought about it and said, "Master Luan, what do you think?"

Luan Tingyu is getting older, and it is more appropriate for young people to fight in the battlefield. This place is very important to Su Wu, so he needs someone as experienced and steady as Luan Tingyu to take charge. There are still many things to build and manage here, so it is really inappropriate to let Wu Song and others come.

Luan Tingyu stepped forward and bowed: "Yes, sir!"

Su Wu nodded and said, "We must carefully identify the bandits and not miss any of the big ones."

Xu Guanzhong cupped his hands and replied: "I will do this, and I will make sure it is foolproof."

Su Wu was relieved and nodded, "Okay, Mr. Xu, please take the trouble to send the old, weak, women and children in the mountain village back to their hometowns. Those who are too far away will be arranged to... Dulonggang. Mr. Xu will take care of all these things."

In fact, there are many old, weak, women and children who have to survive. If they are placed in other places, there may be chaos. Putting them in Dulonggang can be considered as looking after them, and some labor tenants can be brought to Dulonggang to supplement the population.

Xu Guanzhong just nodded in agreement.

Su Wu continued, "We have prepared money in the camp. After everyone returns to the camp today, we will immediately reward them according to their merits. I will not take the armor and weapons of the bandits this time. I will divide them into three parts. Brother Qin Ming, brother Suo Chao, and brother Zhang Qing can each take one part."

Qin Ming was not polite and just smiled and said, "Then it would be disrespectful to refuse it."

Suo Chao also laughed: "Reward money, armor and weapons, as well as merit, I knew that if I just followed my brother, I would not be treated unfairly."

Suo Chao was also not polite, but Zhang Qing stood up and said: "I am really ashamed of this..."

Su Wu turned his head and said, "If you recognize me as your brother, just take it and wait for the court to reward you for your meritorious service. If you don't recognize me as your brother, then forget it."

This is Su Wu's old trick. It's not very clever, but it works.

Zhang Qing's face really turned red, and he immediately got excited and knelt down to pay his respects: "Being able to be brothers with General Su is the blessing I earned in my previous life. Greetings, brother!"

When did Su Wu ever receive such treatment of bowing down to others?

Su Wu stood up and helped him up: "Since you are my brother, there is no need to be polite."

"Thank you, brother, for not giving up on me. I will always be grateful for your kindness and will never forget it." Zhang Qing spoke again.

"Don't say that. Since it's a brotherhood, you should learn from General Qin and General Suo. They won't be so polite to me." Su Wu said with a smile, and he was also joking.

Qin Ming smiled and said, "Brother Zhang Qing, you may not know my character yet. From now on, just be frank and honest."

"Yes, just be open and honest!" Suo Chao also said with a smile.

Zhang Qing immediately bowed to everyone left and right, and then greeted everyone again. Everyone also stood up to return the greetings, and there was a lot of liveliness in the big tent.

Someone came to the door and reported: "General, Wu Yong from the water fort said he has something urgent to discuss with you."

"Bring him here..." Su Wu said, and bowed to everyone: "Everyone go and do your own things. We should return to the army tomorrow morning in an orderly manner and don't cause any chaos..."

"Understood sir!" Everyone bowed and left.

After a short while, Wu Yong arrived, bowed and greeted Su Wu. He looked around and found no one in the tent except Su Wu.

Wu Yong felt relieved, thinking that this was a private conversation, which was exactly what he wanted.

"Scholar, sit down." Su Wu raised his hand.

Wu Yong was a little hesitant. There were many seats, but he didn't know where to sit.

Su Wu raised his hand and pointed: "Student, go to the back of the military tent, you sit there, who will sit there?"

Which one is the seat? It is not the seat for the generals, but the seat next to Su Wu, which is the seat for the counselors. The one sitting just now was Xu Guanzhong, and another one will be added tomorrow, so that Wu Yong can sit next to Xu Guanzhong.

"Thank you, General, for the seat!" Wu Yong walked forward and sat down, feeling more at ease.

"The bandit leader Song Jiang has surrendered." Su Wu said.

As soon as Wu Yong sat down, he stood up and bowed: "Thank you, General."

There are some things between the two of them that are really tacitly understood.

"Isn't the scholar sad?" Su Wu asked.

Wu Yong sighed and said, "In fact, I feel sad. If I hadn't been in such a situation, why would I want to survive like this? If I can protect one person, I will protect one person. If I can't protect others, I will protect the Ruan brothers, and there are also hundreds of fellow villagers... It's too much to say these things. In fact, the general has already seen through my thoughts..."

Su Wu felt quite good after hearing these words. Wu Yong's words were completely different from what Song Jiang had just said.

Su Wu nodded: "From now on, scholar, you should sit in this seat peacefully..."

It is inevitable that it is also a knock.

Wu Yong immediately stood up and bowed: "I will definitely sit on this seat peacefully and not dare to have any thoughts."

"Where is Zhu Tong?" Su Wu suddenly asked.

"Brother Zhu Tong was hiding in the village and did not try to break out. He must have been captured by the soldiers. He would not resist. Maybe he came out to be captured. He is smart and will directly mention the general's name. Someone will come to report to the general later."

Wu Yong showed off his intelligence.

Su Wu thought that the performance was actually quite good, so he continued, "Wu Xuejiu, what do you think about...letting Zhu Tong be the leader of the navy?"

Wu Yong heard this, his face remained calm, and he immediately replied: "That would be the best thing to do!"

"What should I do?" Su Wu asked again.

Wu Yong immediately replied: "Brother Zhu Tong can convince the others, and he has never been willing to follow the bandits. He had no choice but to come to the mountain stronghold. He has loyalty in his heart and will not have any other thoughts."

Su Wu was satisfied. Wu Yong was really good in understanding people's hearts and knew how to advance and retreat. He seemed a little honest for the time being.

"I want to send Xuejiu and others to the government office of Jizhou for trial, and then exile them to Dongping Prefecture as soldiers. Xuejiu will have to suffer a lot..." Su Wu said.

Wu Yong was shocked when he heard this. This method...

"General, you are wise. We will certainly follow your instructions." Wu Yong bowed.

"There is one more thing I want to entrust to the scholar. Among these thieves, some are from the water, some are from other places, some may be useful, some may not be useful, some are extremely evil thieves, and some are just ruffians. We must carefully identify them and form a file. Then, the Jeju government office can try them and the court can report them..."

Su Wu said this and looked at Wu Yong. In fact, this matter was more of an explanation to Zhang Shuye, and Zhang Shuye was the one Su Wu really wanted to explain to.

Wu Yong stood up and saluted: "I will definitely handle this matter properly."

"Isn't the scholar partial to his friends?" Su Wu asked again.

Upon hearing this, Wu Yong immediately stood up and bowed, saying, "I dare not do that. I am already serving under the general, so I am a public servant. How could I do such a thing as bending the law for personal gain? He must be a villain, big or small. His crime is clear to me!"

"Just trust the scholar!" Su Wu nodded, but he didn't believe it in his heart. He would let Yan Qing check it a few times when the time comes. Although he knew that Wu Yong would not dare to show favoritism for the time being, Su Wu still didn't trust it and had to be prepared.

"Thank you, General!" Wu Yong bowed and refused to sit down.

"Sit down again..." Su Wu raised his hand again and said, "I think the scholar should go and explain to that boyish and ferocious man, but I don't know what to say."

Su Wu obviously didn't know the details, but he also tried to test Wu Yong, just to teach him a lesson and make him feel some respect and fear for him.

Wu Yong was horrified and quickly replied, "I didn't expect the general to be so smart and to be able to guess this. I will go back and tell Tong Wei and Tong Meng that the Song leader failed to surrender and the previous plan failed."

"Then Li Jun died in vain? How do we explain it?" Su Wu asked again.

"Of course Li Jun did it willingly, and Chief Song is powerless to change the situation." Wu Yong said this while lowering his head slightly, his eyes motionless.

"Okay, okay..." Su Wu nodded. Wu Yong is really the most vicious person in the world.

It's not good to say that he is a bad person, but if he is really used, he can be regarded as a supplement to Su Wu's team. Even if no one is as vicious as him, maybe he can really work wonders sometimes.

Say what you like about him, this man is so vicious, no matter what, even if Wu Yong is really devoted to serving him and has no second thoughts, Su Wu still feels that he must be on guard against him at all times.

Just ask Su Wu if he dares to use it and how to use it?

The person Su Wu wanted to go to was Boss Cao. After reading too many history books, he would always think of Boss Cao. Boss Cao's life was tiring.

Su Wu now slowly felt this tiredness, but he also enjoyed it... There was some inexplicable pleasure in it.

Su Wu had already decided in his mind how to treat Wu Yong. There was only one way, which was to keep Wu Yong in this state of fear and trepidation at all times, making his life tiring and cautious.

(Brothers, I racked my brains to deal with this, love you!)
