When Cao Fang heard that Shi Jin was recruiting him, he shouted loudly: "In the name of benevolence and righteousness, you rebelled and invaded Jiaoshui County.
The magistrate was forced to flee, and you still want me to join you.
Damn you!"
Shi Jin's face changed when he heard it, his eyes widened, and he shouted angrily: "Do you really think I won't kill you?"
Seeing Shi Jin's angry look, Cao Fang was frightened, but he still held on and shouted: "If you want to kill me, stop nagging and do it quickly.
But there is a Cao Fang who has his head cut off, and there is no Cao Fang who surrenders. square When Shi Jin saw it, he admired him in his heart.
He was a loyal man.
Shi Jin quickly regained his calm smile and said, "General Cao is so brave.
My words just now were a little offensive, don't blame me."
Cao Fang looked at Shi Jin, not knowing what he wanted to do, and remained silent.
Shi Jin didn't care, he said: "Looking at your clothes, you should be a county captain of this county.
You are also a member of the army, and you should know how the imperial court treats military officers and soldiers.
The imperial court values civility over military affairs and treats us warriors harshly.
Are you willing?
Look at the life your men are living.
They sacrifice their lives for the imperial court, and what they get in exchange for being loyal to such an imperial court.
Is it worth it?"
Cao Fang fell into deep thought after hearing Shi Jin's words.
How could Cao Fang not know how the imperial court treated these soldiers?
Looking back at the Liangshan Army's battles in the past few days, Cao Fang greatly admired the Liangshan Army's combat effectiveness.
Today I saw that Shi Jin let the enemy general go without saying anything for the sake of a sibling.
Afterwards, he did not blame the general who was captured by him, but instead comforted him with kind words.
In this way, Cao Fang had a good impression of Liang Shanjun and Shi Jin, and felt that it would be good to seek refuge with such people. only After a long while, Cao Fang sighed, raised his head and said, "I'm afraid I, Cao Fang, have failed the respect of Master Shizhai.
Unless Cao doesn't know how to praise, Cao Fang has no control over what happens to the court, but Lord Zong is very kind to Cao Fang."
Rushan.
As long as Master Zong survives, I, Cao Fang, will never abandon him and seek refuge with you."
When Shi Jin heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.
Under such circumstances, Cao Fang was still so loyal to Zongze.
Such a loyal person is a person who can be reused.
It's a pity that he now wants to repay Zongze and refuses to surrender, which makes Shi Jin a little disappointed.
On the other hand, having so many people serve him shows how powerful Zongze is.
Only people like this can work for me Shi Jin shook his head, got rid of all those regrets and said, "It's a pity that we can't get help from a loyal person like General Cao, but it's a big regret for Shi Jin.
General Cao, please go."
Cao Fang shouted in surprise: "You really want to let me go, don't kill me?"
Shi Jin shouted in a funny voice: "What's the benefit of killing you?
If you look at your physical ability alone, you're just average.
I have many people like you, and I don't care about you at all.
What I value is your loyalty.
Since you If you refuse to surrender, I will also promise to let you go, and I will naturally not embarrass you."
Cao Fang heard the other party say that his ability was mediocre, and knew that his opponent was telling the truth.
However, being exposed by Shi Jin still made Cao Fang a little unhappy.
He raised his hands and shouted: "Master Shi's kindness today will be repaid generously by Cao in the future."
Shi Jin shouted with a smile: "No, no, no, you won't have a chance.
And I'm sure I can catch you next time.
Shi Jin will not be merciful by then.

Just take care of yourself."
When Cao Fang heard Shi Jin's confident look, he snorted dissatisfied and shouted: "We'll see.
Farewell" When Cao Fang turned around and was about to leave, Shi Jin suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute!"
When Cao Fang heard this, he turned around and sneered: "Why did Shi Zhaiji regret it?"
Shi Jin shook his head and said: "General Cao, don't get me wrong.
Shi just wants you to give me a message to Zongzhi County.
Tell him that I, Shi Jin, admire him very much.
As long as he is willing to assist me, I am willing to treat him as a teacher."
Treating him as a master means promising that as long as Zongze relies on Shi Jin, Shi Jin will respect and honor him like his master.
Master of Heaven and Earth You know, as long as Shi Jin succeeds in his rebellion in the future.
He, Zongze, can immediately take up a position such as Grand Master, which is a position below one person and above ten thousand people.
Moreover, Shi Jin respected him as his master, and Zongze would also be respected as the imperial master.
Even Shi Jin's son, as long as he had not ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, had to be extremely respectful to Zongze.
Cao Fang was stunned when he heard that Shi Jin valued Zongze so much.
He opened his mouth a few times, and finally he could only shout: "I will convey your words to Lord Zong."
Cao Fang walked down the city and saw that the soldiers of Liangshan Army did not make things difficult for him.
Cao Fang looked back at Glue City and quickly ran in the direction where Zongze escaped.
Zongze led the remnant soldiers and walked quickly away from Glue City.
Without stopping, I walked straight for thirty or forty miles and reached the foot of a mountain.
After escaping here, we are so far away from the Liangshan Army, so we should be safe for the time being.
After Zongze sent dozens of spies from afar to monitor, he ordered the entire army to rest.
These remaining soldiers had been fighting all night, and now they had to march for half a day.
They were already exhausted.
Now when they heard Zongze's call to stop the troops and rest, the soldiers immediately sat on the ground and gasped for air.
Many people even lay on the ground in a mess, and soon they began to sound loudly, sleeping very soundly.
As a soldier, you have to eat food.
After the war, you are worthy of the imperial court and the military salary.
If it weren't for Zongze's prestige, these soldiers would have fled when the Liangshan Army attacked the city, and they might have turned around and joined the Liangshan Army.
They had long heard that the military salary of Liangshan Army was very good, and it was paid on time and could never be deducted.
This makes these soldiers who only receive a meager military salary very envious.
Zongze sat on a stone to rest.
When he heard loud humming around him, he smiled bitterly.
If it was normal, he might have been scolding these men, but now he couldn't blame them.
Not to mention that these people saved his life with all their might, but they also tried their best to defend the city this time.
They really can't be blamed for the city's fall.
The Liangshan Army soldiers were too tough.
Thinking of the glue battle yesterday, Zongze couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
The heroic appearance of those Liangshan bandits in battle will always be remembered by Zongze.
So awesome, so powerful If Cao Fang hadn't been lucky enough to capture one of the other party's leaders alive at the last moment, he would have used the loyalty of the thief leader Shi Jin to let his people go.
Zongze knew that none of his people could escape from the city.
Zongze has always had the ideological ambition to save the country and the people, and has always been very concerned about the current situation.
Now the imperial court is sending a large army to annihilate the local La in the south of the Yangtze River.
This has given the Liangshan bandits an opportunity to grow stronger.
I am afraid that the imperial court will not be able to send more troops to exterminate the Liangshan bandits in a short period of time.

When Zongze was thinking about how to deal with these thugs, Li Ping, the leader of the Ma Army sitting next to him, handed over a bamboo tube and shouted: "Sir, have a drink of water."
"Thank you."
Zongze took a few sips of water, handed it back to him, and asked: "Here and where?"
Li Ping looked up and said, "Sir, this is the Hujiading.
Sir, we have escaped now.
Should we go back to Dengzhou or Qingzhou?"
Zongze thought for a moment and shouted: "No, we are not going anywhere.
We will just stay in Glue."
Li Ping shouted in surprise: "What do you mean, sir, that we continue to stay in Jiaoshui County?
But now the gang of thieves have occupied the county.
Sir, where can we stay?"
Zongze shouted with firm eyes: "Now that the imperial court is trying its best to pacify Fangla in the south, it cannot spare any effort to deal with these bandits.
That is why they are so arrogant and invade Jingdong East Road.
As long as the imperial court pacifies the south, this group of bandits will be destroyed."
Day.
I must stay in Glue and try my best to delay them until the imperial army arrives."
Li Ping heard a bitter cry: "Sir, we only have these few troops left now.
How can we delay those gangs of thieves?"
Zongze shouted resolutely: "Don't worry, I won't let you use your arms as a chariot and destroy yourself.
I have an idea."
When Li Ping heard this, he shouted helplessly and firmly: "Anyway, our lives are given by adults.
What adults want small people to do, small people will do what they want."
Zongze shouted: "Okay, let your men rest for two hours, and then we enter the mountain.
Remember to send people to leave marks everywhere to see if we can contact Captain Cao."
Zongze led the remaining soldiers into the mountains.
The spies searched for a day but found no trace of Zongze and the others, so they had no choice but to come back to apologize.
In the main hall of Jiaoshui County, Wu Song handed over his hand and reported to Shi Jin: "Marshal, Jiaoshui City is completely under the control of our army, and all four gates have been guarded by our soldiers."
"Well done."
Shi Jin then asked Zhu Wudao: "Wu Song, how is the situation in the city now and what is the reaction of the people?"
Zhu Wu replied in a deep voice: "Marshal, there were still a lot of people making trouble at first.
But after hearing that Zongze, the magistrate, was let go safely by you, those people became much calmer, and now the order is relatively stable.
As for them in the future It’s not clear yet whether there will be trouble.
However, Zongze has been in charge of Glue for many years and has a high prestige.
In my opinion, it may take more time to get the people of Glue to join the marshal.”
Shi Jin nodded and said, "However, no matter how difficult the task is, we must do it.
Only if the people support and accept us can we gain a firm foothold in the glue.
Zhu Wu, implement the new law as soon as possible, let the people know and realize our benefits, and win the hearts and minds of the people." " Zhu Wu nodded and said: "My subordinates understand and will send people to implement it as soon as possible."
Shi Jin asked: "Have you found the traces of Zongze's people?"
Zhu Gui cupped his hands and shouted to Shi Jin: "Come back to Marshal, those people have fled into the mountains.
Their subordinates can't be found everywhere.
They are incompetent.
Please ask the Marshal to punish them."
When Shi Jin heard this, he covered his forehead and said: "Most of Zongze's men are locals.
They are more familiar with the terrain than us.
In addition, they only have less than 200 people.

It's not surprising that they can't be found for a while.
You guys Strengthen manual searches and remember to ask them to find them.”
"I understand," Zhu Gui shouted.
"Well, that's right.
Send people quickly to spread the news that our army has captured Jiaoshui.
And go to Laiyang to inform Sun Li that Jiaoshui County has been captured and ask him to take over all the counties near Laizhou as soon as possible.
Tell him, I don’t want to hear anymore news that he was defeated because he underestimated the enemy.”
"Yes, Marshal" In order to spread the news of the capture of Jiao Shui City as soon as possible, Zhu Gui photographed several groups of people riding along the road to promote the news, and went straight to Yecheng, Linyi and other state capitals.
Near dusk, a fast horse galloped to Yecheng, the government office of Laizhou.
Just as the defenders were about to step forward to stop them, the cavalrymen immediately raised a sign from a distance and shouted: "Good news, Marshal has conquered the glue!"
After hearing this, the guarding soldiers immediately got out of the way.
The cavalryman did not stop and galloped directly towards the city, shouting loudly as he ran.
"The good news is that the Marshal has conquered the glue" "Marshal captured Glue right now, it's only been a few days" one soldier whispered to another.
"That is, if the marshal personally goes out to fight, how can a mere county town resist it?"
the man said proudly.
"Of course, the marshal is invincible in every battle.
No one in the world is his opponent."
Some other soldiers also cheered.
In Jecheng Prefecture, Lu Zhishen touched his bald head and asked, "Master Liu, how is the purchase of grain and grass from those wealthy landlords going?"
Zhu Wu followed Shi Jin to conquer the glue, and now all the main government affairs in Laizhou were entrusted to Shi Jin's newly appointed landowner Bo Liushang.
"General, the news just came back from Cangsi that the Wang family has refused to provide a batch of food and grass for our army," Liu Shang said with his hand.
When Lu Zhishen heard this, he shouted angrily: "These bastards, they used to befriend us in Liangshan in every possible way, but now they see our army's defeat, they refuse a lot.
Lord Liu, go and tell those people, if they dare to default on their promises, I will Just lead the troops to get it.”
Although Liu Shang is from the Liu family, he is only a side branch.
Now that he can become the master, he really wants to do something to revitalize his family.
Hearing Lu Zhishen shouting that he would lead his troops to demand it directly, Liu Shang hurriedly persuaded: "No, General Lu.
Now we still need their support to stabilize Laizhou.
For the time being, we must appease them.
What will happen during this period?"
Everyone refuses in every possible way, just because our army is not going well.
As long as the marshal leads the troops to defeat Zongze and take the glue, those people will naturally come to apologize.
General Lu, please be patient and wait for news from the marshal. " "Well" Lu Zhishen just has a bad personality and is not stupid.
He heard Liu Shang's persuasion and knew that what he said was reasonable.
He nodded slightly and asked, "Master Liu, is there any news from the Marshal?"
"It hasn't happened yet, but the marshal has been on the expedition for four or five days.
I believe that good news will come back soon, General.
Don't worry.
The marshal uses his troops like a god, so there will be no hindrances," Liu Shang replied with a smile.
"What Liu Zhubo said is that with the marshal's ability, it's nothing to do with just a piece of glue."
Lu Zhishen patted his head and shouted.
As if to confirm Lu Zhishen's words, a burst of excited shouts came from far and near towards the government office.
"Good news, the marshal has conquered the glue":
