Water Margin Survival

Song Jiang felt that he really needed a teacher urgently.

A teacher in officialdom.

When I used to be a lowly official and depressed all day long, I always felt that Cai Jing and Tong Guan's generation would only harm the country, so how could they have any real ability to help the world and the people?If Song Gongming were replaced by him, although he dare not say that the world will be peaceful, the government will be harmonious, but he still has the ability to make the Great Song Dynasty look brand new.

But reality is always cruel.

With Tong Guan's seemingly inadvertent trick, he, Song Jiang, almost couldn't help himself, and had to fall into a dilemma and couldn't extricate himself.Since then, he has a more intuitive understanding of these treacherous officials: those few people who can climb to the top of the empire, no matter whether they are good or treacherous officials, are not easy to get along with.

Perhaps, there is really no shortcut to official career.The officialdom is not a paradise for those who skip grades.If he could have a serious background, walk steadily from the county magistrate, county magistrate, prefecture, and magistrate, and go through many trials that a civil servant in the Song Dynasty should have experienced, he would still face Tong Guan like today. Is there no power to parry the open and dark arrows?

No, what Song Jiang lacks is definitely not understanding, but luck.

That's right, thinking back then when he was a subordinate, he was still able to stand out without a teacher. He played with all kinds of heroes, people in the market, and even the lord of a county in the palm of his hand very smoothly.It is precisely because of this confidence that he can firmly believe that as long as it takes time to familiarize him with the rules of the game at the top of the official career, by then, he will definitely not be worse than Tong Guan, a eunuch.

It's a pity, he is short of a noble person who can point out the maze.Perhaps Wen Bin, the county magistrate of Yuncheng, could barely be counted as half of the former, but his grade was too low, and he was a role that depended on others. What Song Jiang learned from him was beyond his control now.

Fortunately, there is no unparalleled road, and at this time when Song Jiang was in a hurry, there was a senior official in the officialdom right in front of him.

"Wang Xianggong, the army is simple, everything is simple, and there are no good things to entertain the distinguished guests, please forgive me!"

The brightly lit Baozhu Temple had just finished a reception banquet, and Wang Shizhong and his son, who had been hiding in Tibet for dozens of days, finally had a safe meal.After the banquet, Song Jiang dismissed the crowd and invited Wang Shizhong alone to drink tea and chat in the temple.

He sincerely wanted to obtain some secret official scriptures from this civil official who had experienced the Liao and Song dynasties.

"General Song, you are welcome. This is the most comfortable meal I have ever eaten! It is rare, rare!" Wang Shizhong sipped the tea in his cup and sat on a table made of fine tiger skin with a satisfied expression. Sitting on the top chair, he was also thinking about Song Jiang in his heart.I think that although this person was born as a grassroots bandit, he treats people well, and is far from the image of those vulgar bandits in his impression.

"Although this meal of wine is called taking care of my husband, it is actually a practice. Early tomorrow morning, the last general will send his powerful brother Zheng Tianshou to lead a hundred cavalry to escort the father and son to Hebei to report on their duties in Tokyo!"

In fact, Song Jiang knew better than anyone else that Wang Shizhong absolutely did not want to stay in his army for a long time.Firstly, Sun Li is an embarrassing person who is not easy to meet, secondly, Dong Ping also got into trouble with the father and son, and thirdly, he, Song Jiang, is in a deep whirlpool.But in the current situation, the other party absolutely cannot avoid it.

Hearing this, Wang Shizhong was really satisfied with Song Jiang's knowledge and follow-up arrangements. He offered tea instead of wine and offered a respect to Song Jiang, saying, "General, you have a bright future in suppressing thieves for the country. Mr. Wang hereby wishes you an early triumph. Let me be the host, let’s meet again in the capital! I heard that Yuxianlou in Tokyo has been in the limelight recently, and it happens to be opened by our Dengzhou merchant, then we will invite Brother Jie from the previous life, come and stay drunk!”

It has to be said that Song Jiang really admires Wang Shizhong Chengfu.After all, he was born as the prefect of Yingzhou in the Liao Kingdom. Now, as the guard of the Song Dynasty, the city fell to the bandits. At this moment, he is not worried at all. He even boasted that he would have a banquet in the highest-grade restaurant in the capital. I don't know that this calmness is just pretending , still really full of confidence.

However, these have nothing to do with Song Jiang.It is said that cats have cat ways, and dogs have dog ways. He Song Jiang is Liang Zhongshu and Cai Jing, and the treasure he bet on may be the official family!

Since there are some things that you can't envy, it's better to smooth out your own affairs first.

"Hey, my husband is going, please be more careful. Don't think that the last general will carry a hundred thousand soldiers today, and he may be a criminal tomorrow. I'm afraid it will be difficult to keep the appointment with this good wine!"

Wang Shizhong smiled slightly when he heard the words, it seems that this young official in Yuncheng has a bit of talent for career, he can take advantage of the trend to turn the topic to the core issue, and the desolation on his face is not obtrusive, which is also a skill .Such a person, if you help him in this crisis, it may not be possible to reap huge benefits in the future.

"Fortune comes with misfortune, and misfortune depends on blessing. You and I have come to this point because we made choices again and again. General Song is a sensible person, and you must have a comprehensive plan in mind! "

Wang Shizhong's words sounded so confiding, and the meal was really worth it!Song Jiang immediately climbed up the pole, looked at him piously, and said: "Go in, I will die, retreat, I will not survive. Please also ask Minggong to guide me and teach me the way to choose!"

Wang Shizhong smiled, picked up the teacup in his hand and took a sip of tea, looking at the candles swaying in the wind in the distance, as if he was talking to Song Jiang, or talking to himself: "There are many high-ranking and powerful people in this world. Yes, but people have to recognize the one who is willing to stretch out his thigh to hug him. If you hug this thigh and try to please that person, it will only make this person feel that you don't know what is good and bad, and it will make that person feel worse. Contemptuous of you, in the end no one will speak for you..."

When Wang Shizhong's words came to the end, he had already got up and walked outside the Baozhu Temple, and finally left a message, which wafted into Song Jiang's ears: "Unexpectedly, I can still say such rough words now, look You still can’t cultivate yourself! General Song, that’s all I’ve said, you and I can do it for ourselves, we’ll meet later!”

Song Jiang chased to the door, and bowed sincerely to Wang Shizhong's back, thinking in his heart: "If I disobey Cai Jing, I will not be able to please Tong Guan in the end, and the official family is a casual person, so how can I do it for him? The pawns who beat Cai and Tong were all told to abandon them ruthlessly. Could it be possible that they could still make decisions for me? Come on, let’s choose the lesser of two evils. I just hugged Cai Jing’s leg to death, which at least showed my integrity. When the future is ups and downs, there may be Bole who is willing to give me a hand!"

"Cai Xianggong, you are my God! I, Song Jiang, will give you my whole life!"

When he decided to bet the treasure on Cai Jing, Song Jiang suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. He walked on the flat ground outside the temple with his hands behind his back, looking at the stars in the sky, and couldn't help thinking of the days when he stumbled and fell grass.

For a moment, the image of Cai Jing in Song Jiang's mind suddenly coincided with that of Chao Gai, and Song Jiang was in a trance.

In a daze, he suddenly found his face wet with a drop of water flowing down the river. Song Jiang closed his eyes and murmured: "Your single-plank bridge is never really narrow, and my Yangguan Road is never really wide. In this lifetime, Go all the way, lose all the way. Heavenly King! I, Song Jiang...don't owe you anything. Even if I owe you, I will pay it back...no more..."

Beijing East and West Road, Yunzhou Taishou Mansion, the temporary base camp of the expeditionary army.

"Hehe, this nasty sore on Song Jiang's back came at a really good time!" Tong Guan leaned on the grand teacher's chair quite relaxed, put down the battle report in his hand, and looked back at his confidants and staff.

"The soldiers were stationed in Erlong Mountain, the hometown of Luocao, for more than [-] days. They closed the mountain gate tightly, and even a single soldier refused to approach Yidu. Those who knew that he was at a loss had to use the word "drag". He’s going to be addicted to the king of the mountain again!” Dong Yun’s tone was a bit disdainful, “Master En, since this person doesn’t even care about the imperial decree, it seems that he is on the boat of Mr. Cai!”

"Okay, get on the boat as soon as you get on the boat. If you like what I want, why should a certain family stop him? But, if he thinks that Cai Jing's boat can't be moved by anyone, then he is delusional!" Tong Guan The domineering look in his eyes disappeared in a flash, and he restrained his light, and said slowly: "If you are sick, take care of yourself, I am not an unkind person, so I won't rush him this time. Wuzi, think about it carefully, now Who are the closest to Qingzhou?"

Dong Yun laughed when he heard the words, and said knowingly: "Wang Qing and Wang Xianfeng are now stationed in Jiaoshui County, Laizhou!"

Tong Guanjian said, raised his head, looked at Dong Yun with a half-smile, shook his head and said, "I didn't ask him!"

"Hey, aren't you thinking about Wang Qing? Then who can be cheaper?" Although Dong Yun felt surprised in his heart, he didn't show it on his face. He just asked, "Isn't En Xiang afraid of Wang Xianfeng's ineffective rescue?"

"Ineffective rescue? Just relying on the current Liangshan? You, after all, still don't understand what Wang Lun is thinking now!" Speaking of this matter, Tong Guan showed a meaningful expression on his face, but he didn't see it right now. The meaning of going deeper, so I just laughed it off, and then returned the topic to Song Jiang:

"If my son-in-law is sent there to step on Song Jiang to grab the position, this matter will not be so beautiful! Think again, who else is around Qingzhou right now? Don't talk about our old subordinates in the Western Army!"

"By the way, the surrendered general **** and the Zhou Xing Department are now stationed in Changyi County, Weizhou!" Dong Yun has been assisting Tong Guan for many years as an aide, and he fully understood from the bottom of his heart that Song Jiang really did this time. It's going to offend the officials badly.

"That's it, it's just cheaper for these two! Let them stop going east to suppress the thieves, and immediately divert to the northwest, and rescue Qingzhou as soon as possible!" (To be continued~^~)
