Do you have the strength to force me to join the Liangshan bandits?

Chapter 688 Jin Wuzhu: Is Song Jiang's Loyalty Unparalleled? [1st Update]

"Did that chubby little guy go to defect to the Jin Dynasty?"

Cai Fu was surprised after reading the secret letter sent by Yue Zhen:
Why didn't he vote for Tian Hu... Oh, I killed Tian Hu.

Why didn't he vote for Wang Qing... Oh, I killed Wang Qing too.

Why didn't he side with Fang La... Oh, Fang La was killed by him.

Why didn't he surrender? Oh, he did, but I forced Emperor Huizong of Song to execute his entire clan.

Why didn't he surrender to the Liao Kingdom... Oh, the Liao Kingdom's Wolf Lord is my father-in-law.

Well, no wonder he went to surrender to the Jin Dynasty.

After putting himself in Song Jiang's shoes, Cai Fu realized that Song Jiang had no other choice but to surrender to the Jin Dynasty or the Western Xia or Dali Kingdoms...

But since we're going to defect to a foreign country anyway, why not vote for the biggest one?
No, why did Song Jiang have to pledge allegiance to any particular party?
Wouldn't it be better for him to rule the mountain himself?

With the world being so big, wouldn't it be easy for Song Jiang and his men to find a secluded spot and become bandits?

Or perhaps he could follow the example of Li Jun in the original story, go to sea to seek opportunities, and maybe even become a daimyo in Japan.

Why invest money?
"Shameless!"

Cai Fu curled his lip in disdain and handed the secret letter to Guan Sheng, who then read it aloud to everyone.

"You thief!"

Lu Zhishen couldn't help but curse, "You've already surrendered to the Jin dogs, what are you still bragging about 'loyalty and righteousness' for?"

Wu Song also cursed and swore: "I was really blind back then, thinking he was a righteous and chivalrous hero!"
"I never expected it to be this kind of trash!"

Meanwhile, Song Jiang had already arrived in the Jin Kingdom.

"Song Jiang, the Timely Rain, is unparalleled in loyalty and righteousness?"

Jin Wuzhu sat casually on the throne, listening to Song Jiang recount his resume:

Clerk of Yuncheng County, Second Chief of Liangshan Marsh, Chief Chief of Liangshan Marsh, Branch Chief of Erlong Mountain, Prefect of Gaizhou, Minister of War of Chu State, Prime Minister of Chu State, Military Commander of Yangzhou Commandery, General Commander of Pingnan, Vanguard Commander of the Expedition against Fang Jinzhi, Deputy Commander of the Palace Guard...

After listening, Jin Wuzhu and Hami Chi exchanged a glance:
No, does this have anything to do with loyalty and righteousness?
Lu Bu was a three-surname slave, but this guy has even more families than Lu Bu!
Is this thing worth keeping?
Hami Chi nodded slightly. Jin Wuzhu listened to Hami Chi's every word. If Hami Chi said it was okay, then it was okay.

"it is good!"

Jin Wuzhu slapped his thigh: "What a brilliant Song Jiang!"

"Since you've come to serve me, I will never treat you unfairly!"
"You will first serve as my marshal, and when my army marches south, you will be the vanguard!"

Ah this...

Song Jiang felt quite awkward.

Although he sided with Jin Wuzhu, it did not mean that he wanted to be an enemy of the Song Dynasty.

But then Jin Wuzhu offered him another empty promise:
"If you conquer Shandong, I will make you the King of Lu!"

What?
Song Jiang felt a shiver run through his body, and his scalp tingled as if he were being electrocuted.
"Lu, Lu, King Lu?"

"Not bad!"

Jin Wuzhu was very good at doing this kind of thing.

In the original story, after Liu Yu, the military governor of Shandong, surrendered to him, he was enfeoffed as the Prince of Lu.

Cao Rong, the military governor of Lianghuai and Liu Yu's son-in-law, surrendered to him and was enfeoffed as the Prince of Zhao.

Therefore, Jin Wuzhu did not hesitate to offer Song Jiang a rosy promise:
"Our Great Jin Dynasty never hesitates to reward capable ministers and outstanding generals who govern well!"
"Conquer Shandong and you will be the King of Lu!"
"I, Wanyan Wushu, said it!"

His move perfectly hit Song Jiang's sweet spot.

Song Jiang now hates Cai Fu the most.

Cai Fu was the King of Qi. If he could defeat Cai Fu with the help of the Jin army, he would be enfeoffed as the King of Lu...

Isn't this the return of Sister Wang?

Awesome!

Having his G-spot hit, Song Jiang's legs went weak, and he knelt down before Jin Wuzhu with a "thump":

"Thank you for your high regard, Your Highness. Song Jiang is willing to serve Your Highness to the death!"

After Song Jiang and his men left, Jin Wuzhu asked Hami Chi curiously: "Strategist, Song Jiang is fickle and changes allegiances from morning till night!"
"These kinds of people will betray me sooner or later, so why does the strategist still want me to take them in?"

“Song Jiang, Wu Yong, and their group understand the King of Qi.”

Ha Mi Chi's eagle eyes shone brightly:
"I have a premonition that Your Highness will need their help to destroy the Prince of Qi in the future."

"I see."

Jin Wuzhu suddenly realized: "My eldest brother and third brother have suffered a crushing defeat this time, and Father Emperor is already considering taking back my eldest brother's military power."

"My brother has lost his capable assistant, Hamiqiang, again. I'll probably be in charge of the next military operation again."

"Song Jiang and his men might come in handy."

Hami Chi nodded in agreement.

……

"Wa hahaha--"

In the large mansion bestowed upon him by Jin Wuzhu, Song Jiang enjoyed wine and conversation with his brothers.

After drinking himself into a stupor, Song Jiang became quite talkative:
"Brothers, we've turned things around again!"
"That guy surnamed Cai wants to force me to my death? Not so easy!"
"When the army marches south, I will be the vanguard, and the first thing I will do is to take Shandong!"
"If we catch that guy surnamed Cai, we'll cut him into a thousand pieces, skin him alive, tear out his tendons, and grind his bones to dust..."

The brothers burst into laughter, and Zhang Heng laughed, "Brother, you're joking. After being sliced ​​into a thousand pieces, would the skin still be able to be peeled off?"

Song Jiang suddenly realized: "That's right!"

"Then let's skin him alive for a lottery, then slice him into a thousand pieces and grind his bones to dust!"

The brothers burst into laughter again, with Yang Fan laughing the loudest.

At this moment, Qin Ming, who had been silent all along, couldn't help but interject:
"Brother, are you really going to lead the Jin Dynasty in attacking the Song Dynasty?"

"I have been utterly loyal to the Emperor, yet he wants to exterminate my entire clan!"

Song Jiang stared at Qin Ming with his small, red eyes:

"Third brother, shouldn't I get back what the Emperor owes me?"

Qin Ming remained silent.

After Chai Jin became lame, he spoke less, but today he became more talkative again:
"I've said it before: the Zhao family is the most untrustworthy!"
"The fact that they bullied my ancestors, who were orphans and widows, and seized my family's empire is a precedent!"
"That would be perfect. Brother, you lead the vanguard. We'll march all the way to Kaifeng and drag Zhao Ji out to be torn to pieces!"

The brothers cheered loudly, while Wu Yong, fanning himself with a goose feather fan, drank his wine in silence, lost in thought.

Qin Ming didn't interrupt again and left the table early. Back in his room, he was met with another complaint from Hua Xiaomei:
"You've drunk so much again...wait?"

Hua Xiaomei looked at Qin Ming curiously:

"In the past, you would get thoroughly drunk, so why isn't your face flushed today?"

"My wife, you've suffered so much these past years, following me around everywhere..."

Qin Ming sighed deeply.

Hua Xiaomei pouted and said, "What are you saying, sir?"
"Now that I've married into your family, I will naturally follow your lead."

"But now that you've followed Song Jiang and surrendered to the Jin Dynasty, I wonder when we'll be able to return to our homeland..."

Qin Ming sighed again: "My wife, next time we go back, I'm afraid we'll be going back to fight our way out."

"Ah this..."

Hua Xiaomei was shocked: "How can you help these barbarians kill your own fellow villagers?"
"My lord, can you really do it?"

"I can't get down, but what can I do?"

Qin Ming shook his head with a wry smile: "There's no going back now!"

Why can't we turn back?

Hua Xiaomei grabbed Qin Ming's hand and encouraged him:
“My brother is a close confidant of the King of Qi. Didn’t you say that he was appointed as the General of Nanning Prefecture by the King of Qi?”

"Let's go and surrender to him!"

"Follow my brother and make many contributions to atone for your sins!"

“My brother put in a good word for you with the King of Qi, and that’s how you got back on your feet, isn’t it?”
