Chapter 351 General Xiang's officers and soldiers are here(1/2)
Song Liu sighed every day, only regretting the failure of the imperial army to suppress the bandits.
Every day, he took the initiative to send a housekeeper, stood on the nearby barren mountain, looked around, and saw if there were any large groups of people passing by. Once an official army passed by, he would immediately report the news.
Unfortunately, I never saw anyone day after day.
Song Liu was very depressed.
Xiang Liang always lived in Song Liu's house and lived in simplicity, but no one noticed it. Xiang Liang's five confidants were connected everywhere, hoping to unite some anti-Qin forces to help Xiang Liang reorganize.
One day, everyone was drinking. Xiang Liang suddenly held up his glass and walked to Song Liu, smiled slightly, and said, "Brother Song, I already know what you did in secret."
Song Liu's face turned pale.
He forced a smile and said, "I, I didn't do anything. Did the general misunderstand?"
Xiang Liang shook his head and said, "Brother Song, don't think that my subordinates have few people, and they become deaf and blind. To be honest, these five people are all loyal and good men who are loyal."
"I know exactly who passes by and who come and go in and out in a few miles."
Song Liu laughed dryly: "General... He is indeed very powerful, I admire him."
Xiang Liang said with a smile: "A few days ago, have you sent the housekeeper in the mansion to go out quietly and look around?"
Song Liu's heart skipped a beat and his body became a little weak. He looked at the sword around Xiang Liang's waist and could hardly sit still.
Xiang Liang sighed and said, "Loyal ministers and righteous men. What I, Xiang Liang, admire most is the loyal ministers and righteous men. Come on, Old Grandma Song, please drink this cup and live a long life."
Song Liu raised his wine glass tremblingly and thought to himself: Is this poisonous wine? It shouldn't be. This wine was moved out of my cellar. Also, are the loyal ministers and righteous men mocking me?
Seeing Song Liu procrastinating, Xiang Liang suddenly laughed: "What? Old Lady Song is not in good health and can't drink alcohol?"
Song Liu gritted his teeth and poured the wine down.
Xiang Liang nodded with satisfaction and said to Song Liu: "I, Xiang, are grateful. The old lady helps me watch the wind every day and is wary of the officers and soldiers coming. It is so hard to work and is touching. The most rare thing is that the old lady does not take credit and does not invite rewards. From this we can see that the old lady does not want Xiang to be grateful, but is sincere and willing to help Xiang."
Xiang Liang bowed to Song Liu: "Xiang, thank you, Mr. Tai."
Song Liu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. So that's what happened. It seems that he had misunderstood.
Song Liu stroked his beard, smiled and said, "General Xiang has been too rewarded. I am just like the general, and I am determined to rebel against Qin. Now the general is brave and leads troops to fight. I am declining and can only do something to watch the wind, and I feel ashamed."
Xiang Liang shook his head repeatedly: "The old lady is too modest."
At this time, Song Liu was slightly moved. After all, after Xiang Liang moved in, he did nothing out of his way except eating and drinking. Now he was very courteous to himself.
If Xiang Liang is defeated in the battle, it is natural that everything goes without saying. If he wins, he may be able to take advantage of the situation.
Thinking of this, Song Liu felt that there was no need to drive Xiang Liang away. After he stayed for a while, recruited soldiers and left on his own, he could do so. He also made friends with a powerful man and left another way for the Song family.
As soon as the old lady Song thought of this, he heard someone say, "I am so moved after listening to the words of Old Lady Song and General Xiang."
Old Lady Song was stunned for a moment and recognized that this was Xiang Liang's cousin, Xiang Zhong.
Xiang Zhong followed Xiang Liang all day long and was considered his confidant.
Xiang Liang turned his head and looked at Xiang Zhong, and asked curiously: "What are you feeling about?"
Xiang Zhong said: "The general and the old lady wanted to restore the country just now. Now the general is brave, but there is no military, horse, food and grass. Although the old lady is old, she has a wealth of thousands of wealth in her mansion and hundreds of strong men in her clan."
"Since that's the case, it's better for the old lady to contribute money and Ding Zhuang. The general led them to revive the Great Chu. After the matter was completed, the general and Taifa's contributions were equally divided. Wouldn't it be nice?"
After hearing this, Xiang Liang shook his head slightly and cursed with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense."
Song Liuze felt a little chilled: You can't talk nonsense? These words are clearly colluding with you. Xiang Zhong has always followed you Xiang Liang's leader. Without your permission, he dared to say this?
Song Liu knew in his heart that Xiang Liang was fond of his wealth and his clan members.
Song Liu didn't want to agree, but he didn't have the courage to refuse, so he came silent. As long as he didn't say anything, Xiang Liang would not force his troops to recruit food.
As a result, when Xiang Zhong saw that Song Liu did not speak, he said to Xiang Liang with a sincere look on his face: "General, you don't need to worry too much. Old Mrs. Song is very wise, how can you not agree?"
Song Liu cursed in his heart: I am just sitting here, and you are starting to fabricate my thoughts?
Xiang Liang shook his head and said lightly: "No. After all, life is at stake. How can we make our own decisions without the permission of the old lady?"
Xiang Zhong said: "I will conclude that the old lady will agree. If the general doesn't believe it, please wait for me to ask him."
Song Liu's face turned pale with anger.
Xiang Zhong really came over with shamelessness and asked with a smile: "Old lady, are you willing to sponsor the general's rebellion against Qin?"
Song Liu stroked his beard: "Well, I will naturally support it when I rebel against Qin, but..."
Before he could finish his words, Xiang Zhong hugged Xiang Liang and said, "Did you hear it? The old lady has agreed in person and is willing to support the general."
Song Liu looked at Xiang Zhong in amazement and thought to himself: I heard that there is a Huai Guzi in Xianyang City, which is even more shameless. But now it seems that Huai Guzi is probably not as shameless as this Xiang Zhong.
Fortunately, Xiang Liang still has to be more handsome. He smiled slightly and said to Song Liu: "Does the old lady have any concerns?"
Song Liu knew that he couldn't be more polite this time. If he was more polite, his money and his clan members would be finished.
So he coughed dryly and said, "I am indeed a little rich, but the general has seen it. I have to support a lot of people. The money is not much if I share it equally with everyone. I am willing to support the general, but I can't watch the tribe members starve to death."
Xiang Zhong clapped his hands and said, "This is simple. The old lady ordered the clan members to join the army and then used their property as military pay. In the end, will the money still be used on the clan members?"
"In this way, Taigong has supported General Xiang, and he does not have to worry about his tribe starving to death. He will kill two birds with one stone. Wouldn't it be wonderful?"
Song Liu was stunned when he heard this. What the fuck... What these robbers said was quite reasonable. How should we refute it?
Seeing that Song Liu didn't say anything, Xiang Zhong smiled and said to Xiang Liang: "General, he has agreed."
Xiang Liang nodded and said, "Okay, since the old lady agreed, then I, Xiang Liang, will be disrespectful."
When she said this, Xiang Liang's face was slightly red.
He was pretentious and always felt that he would be a prince in the future, so he was completely different from those thieves.
After the rebellion, his soldiers also called themselves the righteous army.
But now, Xiang Liang is really doing something tricky and robbing, and he feels a little uncomfortable.
But... it's really a desperate situation now. Without troops in your hands, it's like a rootless duckweed, drifting with the flow and sinking at any time.
Xiang Liang didn't want to live like this when he was hiding from place to place. Today, he was shameless and cheated Song Liu. At worst, he would become more developed in the future and compensate him well.
Thinking of this, Xiang Liang's heart moved slightly: Compensation? If I compensate him, can this matter be exposed? Will he hold a grudge?
Even if he dares not hate me after I gained the world, would he tell me about this and show off everywhere? In that case, it would greatly damage my reputation.
The easiest way is to kill him. The dead man’s mouth is the tightest, and once a person dies, he no longer has to feel guilty about him.
Thinking of this, Xiang Liang looked at Song Liu and thought to himself: Now that the great cause has not been achieved, let him win over first. When you achieve the world in the future, you will completely erase today's affairs.
Song Liu sat there expressionlessly, but was thinking in his heart: His own tribe is also a life, why should he rebel with Xiang Liang? If this matter can be done, it would be fine. Now Xiang Liang is being chased and hiding and rebelling with him, isn't that asking for death?
Then Song Liu thought: I am afraid that I can’t refuse this matter today. There are hundreds of men in my Song family. If these people rushed forward and had to deal with Xiang Liang and his gang, it would not be difficult.
But Xiang Liang has always been with me. Once I start to fight, wouldn’t I be sure to die? Wait? Xiang Liang has been taking care of me, aren’t he very worried about me?
When Song Liu thought of this, he suddenly felt cold all over his body and felt that five poisonous snakes had moved into his home.
Suddenly, Xiang Liang smiled and said, "Don't worry, old lady, you helped me raise an army when Xiang was in danger. In the future, you and me will destroy the tyrannical Qin and promote the great Chu. What's the point?"
Song Liu laughed dryly: "Well..."
Xiang Liang asked, "Does the old lady trust me?"
Xiang Zhong next to him suddenly said, "General, I have a plan."
When Song Liu heard this, he sighed and thought to himself: "I don't know if this person has any bad ideas."
Xiang Liang said with interest: "Let me tell me."
Xiang Zhong said: "In the past few days, I have lived in the old lady's house. I found that the Taigong has a daughter who is pretty and well-educated. The general's family has long been separated and most of them are no longer alive. Therefore, the general and Miss Song are a marriage made by heaven."
"If the general married Miss Song and became a family with the old lady, then it would be a family. In this way, what else would the old lady not believe?"
Song Liu almost vomited blood. These people were so greedy that they not only wanted to steal their own wealth, but even their daughter.
Song Liu's daughter was always regarded as a pearl in her hand when she was old. It doesn't matter whether she married a prince or not. Song Liu just hopes that she can have peace in her life.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Liang, the thief, actually got up. Xiang Liang was so desperate that he was wandering around. How could Song Liu bear to bear this suffering from his daughter?
He was about to refuse sternly, but Xiang Liang bowed to Song Liu: "I beg the old lady to fulfill his wish."
Song Liu's nose was almost pissed. As expected, he was a poor plan. When he dealt with Xiang Liang in the past, he felt that he was barely considered a character. Unexpectedly, after defeat, he was so shameless.
Song Liu stood up and said boldly: "I think this marriage..."
Before he could finish his words, a burst of rapid footsteps came from outside. It was Song Jia who came.
Song Jia said breathlessly: "Master, Master, Master is so good, the officers and soldiers are here."
Song Liu stood up suddenly and asked, "What did you say?"
Song Jia also saw Xiang Liang at this time, and quickly slapped himself, saying with a sad face: "The villain is anxious and confused, it's bad, it's bad. There are officers and soldiers passing by here. There are so many people, covering the sky and the sun, it seems endless."
Xiang Liang asked: "How many people do the other party have?"
Song Jia scratched his head: "The villain can't see it, maybe there are millions."
Xiang Liang cursed in his heart: What a fool, how many people are there in the world? There are millions of people coming up.
However, Xiang Liang also knew that no matter how stupid Song Jia was, he could see that the difference was 3,000 people and one million people. From this we can see that the person who came was not Li Xin?
