Sun Tu's words were like a knife and a spear, completely exposing Liang Shanbo's self-deception. At the same time, they were like a knife and a spear that pierced the hearts of Song Jiang and others, making them unable to recover for a long time. Because everything he said was true, the other party couldn't even find a reasonable excuse to refute it. He could only stare at him hatefully, even his body was trembling.
After a long while, Song Jiang smiled bitterly and said: "Sun Dujian, you are trying to accuse me of this. In fact, my Liangshan brothers have never denied that we are bandits and grassroots bandits. But why did we end up in the situation we are in today? Is it not because of the darkness of the imperial court? , the traitors are in power, leaving passionate men like me without a way to serve our country? So even if we make mistakes, it is not from our heart. Besides, we brothers have always been loyal first, and we will unite as one even if there are difficulties!"
"What brother is saying is that we, the Liangshan brothers, are united as one and we share life and death. Sun Tu, if you really want to use force, I will fight you to the death at worst!" Li Jun and others immediately responded, even those who had just arrived Lu Junyi also joined in support.
Everyone knows that Liangshanbo has reached a critical moment of life and death. At this time, it is time to unite as one to scare the officers and soldiers, so that even if they really surrender, they can gain more benefits. Worst of all, such a performance can also make the brothers below muster up the last courage to fight with the officers and soldiers!
When Sun Tu heard this, he laughed again: "You keep saying that the world is unfair and traitors are in power, so you engage in such deeds of robbing families and homes. But let me ask you, how many of your Liangshan brothers were really forced into desperation? That’s why you have to die? Also, since you claim to be for the country and the people, why do the people deserve it? Why are the local people mostly killed and injured every time you invade the state capital?”
Before these people could answer, Sun Tu had already given his answer: "In fact, in the final analysis, you are just restless in your room and want to get more benefits, but you don't have the ability to match it. You Song Gongming You are conceited about your talent and knowledge, but you end up just being a small official in the county, so you always make friends with heroes all over the world, hoping to find a way to advance. But have you ever thought that the reason why you ended up like this is because of all the things you did before? And Wu Yong, the Ruan brothers, you and others can all be responsible people in Shijie Village. This way, we can live in peace, but what kind of choice did you make? Not to mention that Li Jun, Zhang Heng and others are originally from Jiang Shangshui. You are bandits, you are not very pure in nature, how can you say you are unjust and how can you say you are forced by circumstances?"
Questions were raised one by one, and the truth was dissected one by one. For a moment, Song Jiang and others could no longer say anything to refute. Because the facts are the facts and they cannot deny it. In fact, as Sun Tu said, they ended up in this situation entirely because of themselves.
"What about me? Lu has always been doing business for others. Wasn't he framed by others and almost losing his life?" Seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Junyi could only stand up and refute.
"Senior Brother Lu, do you really not understand, or have you been pretending to be confused? Are you still unable to understand that you will end up like this because you were harmed by them? You are a wealthy man in Hebei, and who can't respect the name Yu Qilin? But now, he has become a band of thieves and is despised by the heroes of the world." Sun Tu said without hesitation: "You said that you were framed by others.
Trapped, then who is it that framed you? Is it Li Gu, the legendary housekeeper who wants to marry your wife? No, he just followed the trend. The person who really made you end up like this was the one who tempted you to write anti-poetry on the wall of your love! "
Just this sentence made Lu Junyi's expression change, and Song Jiang's breathing tightened. He really didn't expect that Sun Toul even knew such details, and even revealed the mystery in public.
In fact, Lu Junyi had already figured out the reason after he went up the mountain, but by this time the deal was already done. He had joined Liangshan and became an escaped prisoner who killed officials and rebelled. Therefore, no matter how much dissatisfaction he had, he could only hide it. From the bottom of my heart.
But now, this matter was actually exposed by Sun Tu in front of many people. This gave him the illusion that his clothes were taken off in public and he was standing naked. This feeling was really bad.
At this time, Yan Qing, who was following him, had a pale face and shouted in a trembling voice: "You... what did you say? Was my master killed by someone in the village?" Apparently he had been kept in the dark. , completely unaware of the inside story of this matter.
Sun Tu looked at Yan Qing and nodded solemnly: "Yes, although it was Li Gu who reported it to the government, the real root cause of this matter is the person in the cottage who made your master write a counter-poem on the wall of his house. If I say The information is correct, even if Li Gu did not report this, as long as Senior Brother Lu refused to join Liangshan, they would find a way to report the matter to the government, so that he would be imprisoned and suffer, and then send troops to rescue him, Lu would be able to Senior brother is willing to stay in Liangshan for their use, and at the same time all his options of escape are cut off."
"Master... Master, is what he said true?" Yan Qing held the handle of the knife and asked with red eyes and a trembling voice.
"This..." Lu Junyi hesitated. He didn't want to deceive Yan Qing, but he knew that pursuing the original matter at this time would only make the chaos in the village even greater. But his hesitation had obviously told Yan Qing the answer, which made him furious. He shouted loudly: "Song Jiang, I'll kill you!" and then stabbed the opponent's back with the knife.
"Brother, be careful!" Fortunately, Li Jun reacted quickly enough and was well prepared. He pushed Song Jiang away and raised his knife to block the sudden assassination. At this time, Lu Junyi also came to his senses, hurriedly turned around and hugged Yan Qing, who was still about to take action, and shouted loudly: "Xiao Yi, don't be reckless, the matter is over..."
If Lu Junyi hadn't stopped him, Yan Qing would have really fought hard this time. In his heart, no matter what brotherhood or important matters of family and country, they are far less important than the safety of his master. And it was these people who designed to frame the master, causing him to fall from a wealthy man to a robber and a bandit, and almost lost his life. This revenge was too great.
Even though he had been stopped by Lu Junyi, Yan Qing still stared at the embarrassed Song Jiang not far away with red eyes, and said in a hateful voice: "Song Jiang, I have always respected you in vain. I didn't expect you to be so despicable and shameless. What can you do?" Are you qualified to be the leader of my Liangshan brothers?"
Faced with Yan Qing's insults, Song Jiang could not reply and could only endure it with a forced smile. At the same time, when he looked at Sun Tu not far away, he felt even more fearful. This person is really terrible. At this time, he still wants to sow discord. This time he brought Lu Junyi's problem to the public. This pair of copycats
To say it is even worse.
Next, not only Lu Junyi and Yan Qing will no longer be able to contribute to the village, but some of the other brothers may also have different intentions. As a result, the copycat brothers no longer have the confidence to fight against the official army.
Sun Tuxiao watched the chaos among them. After they calmed down a little, he said: "So I still say what I said, you Liang Shanbo are by no means innocent. If you can get lost this time and return to the court, you can still be guilty and meritorious. If Otherwise, I will send my troops to the mountain to eradicate all of you and do harm to the people! Song Jiang, have you thought about whether to fight or surrender? My patience is limited. If you can't give me an answer within two days, then A fight!”
After putting enough pressure on the opponent, Sun Tu led his troops down the mountain without waiting for Song Jiang's reaction. He believes that as a result, civil strife will inevitably arise in Liangshanbo, which will naturally make those who still want to resist completely give up this unrealistic idea.
However, he still underestimated Chao Gai's determination. When Song Jiang went back and briefly explained Sun Tu's intention, Chao Gai said: "In this case, we will fight to the death with the army! The imperial court has never been trustworthy. If he This time he pretended to trick me into waiting for my brother to come down from the mountain before murdering me, so our death would be even more unjust, so we might as well fight to the death and die spectacularly!"
His idea really won the support of many people. Not only old brothers like Liu Tang, but also Deng Fei, Bao Xu and others clamored to fight to the end. This even included those who had always been Song Jiang followed Li Kui's lead...
In fact, these people have no idea, because they have killed too many innocent people and committed too many evil deeds in the past few years. Once they lose the protection of the village, they are really afraid that they will fall into the hands of the government and the army. Get up, by then you will really be unable to resist.
"Brother Gongming, that Sun Tu may not be trustworthy. Don't forget how the brothers of the Kong family in Baihu Mountain died because they believed in him and thought that surrendering would save them from death. In the end, they fell into a trap and killed their whole family. Get in. We can't repeat their mistakes." Chao Gai said seriously again.
Naturally, everyone knows about these rumors in the world, and they really have a certain dissuasive effect. For the bloody men in the village, if they really die in such a painful way, they might as well kill before they die, which would lead to a more dignified death.
Song Jiang was also a little short of words. Now his reputation in the village had plummeted, and his words were not as weighty as before. He could only turn to Wu Yong for help.
At this time, Wu Yong also hesitated for a while. It was not until Song Jiang asked for help that he said: "King of Heaven, Sun Tu's plan is not trivial. Most of the time, it can be believed. Although what happened at Baihu Mountain is a bit unreasonable, it is because of the Kong family. Due to their collusion with the Jurchens, they were at a major disadvantage, and they were not unjustly killed. Moreover, as far as I know, the brother who was captured alive by Sun Tu has now been retained in the army. It seems that he wants to use Our thoughts should be true.”
"But..." Chao Gai still hesitated, but Wu Yong's last words made it difficult for him to object to surrender: "Now the Ruan family brothers and many others have fallen into the hands of Sun Tu. If we refuse to surrender, I'm afraid It’s going to cost them their lives!”
