Song Jiang looked surprised after hearing this and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Liu Yuanhui's expression darkened: "They are my Liu Yuanhui's people who have been incorporated into the counter-rebellion army! Let's see who dares to move!"

"Your army? How presumptuous! Could it be that the people who lead the land are the royal ministers! The counter-rebellion army is all the emperor's people!"

"Are you an idiot? How many troops and food will be needed to escort 40,000 prisoners for a long distance? If the rebels cause trouble along the way, do you have any countermeasures? I said, if you dare to touch these soldiers today, then I will naturally dare to let them go. You can’t get out of this big tent, if you don’t believe me, try it!”

"You!" Gao Qiu took two steps back, then laughed and said: "You, Liu Yuanhui, are very powerful in martial arts. I thought I couldn't do anything to you! But he can! Everyone takes the order!"

Gao Qiu said as he took out a roll of imperial edict from his sleeve.

Song Jiang immediately knelt down to listen to the order.

Liu Yuanhui looked at the bright imperial edict, hesitated for a moment, and then knelt down.

"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: I appoint Taiwei Gao Qiu as Jiangnan Yushi Supervisor! Immediately go to the front line to suppress the rebellion! Report the results every three days. If the rebel leader is captured, he will be escorted to Bianliang immediately! There must be no mistake. I hereby express my gratitude. !”

After hearing this, Song Jiang shouted loudly: "I accept the order!"

Gao Qiu said to Liu Yuanhui with a proud look on his face: "Did you hear that? This is the emperor's will. Do you still want to resist it?!"

Liu Yuanhui stood up and said, "Isn't Lieutenant Gao really an idiot? The imperial edict is clearly written! The person who is to be escorted back to Bianliang is the rebel leader! What? These 40,000 people are all rebel leaders?"

"Hmph! Can you guarantee that there is no leader among these 40,000 people? Maybe Fang La himself is among these 40,000 people! I would rather kill by mistake than let him go! All 40,000 people will be escorted to Bianliang! No one can be left behind!"

"If I don't let you go, what can you do to me?"

"you……"

Liu Yuanhui had never been afraid of Gao Qiu. Gao Qiu was used to being praised by others, but when he suddenly saw someone confronting him head-on, he was helpless for a moment.

Back and forth, the two of them were already at war with each other.

"Song Jiang is willing to hand over 40,000 prisoners!" During the stalemate, Song Jiang suddenly broke the stagnant atmosphere with a loud voice.

When Liu Yuanhui heard this, he immediately looked at Song Jiang with wide eyes.

After reacting, he quickly turned around and advised Song Jiang: "Brother Song! This must not be done!"

He had also considered escorting the prisoner back to Beijing before, but later he and Chai Jin met with him to get the necessary troops and food, and they completely killed him.

After all, now that Fang La is facing a formidable enemy, troops and food are the top priority, and cannot be touched easily unless it is absolutely necessary.

Otherwise, if you are not careful, it will completely affect the battle situation!

"Commander Liu, don't try to persuade him any more. What Captain Gao said is not unreasonable. The Holy Emperor has decreed to capture the rebel leader. We cannot identify these 40,000 prisoners. It is better to escort all of them to Bianliang and hand them over to the Emperor! The decree cannot be disobeyed! "Song Jiang didn't know the twists and turns. He just thought that what Gao Qiu said was reasonable, and he immediately said it plausibly.

How could he, Old Zhao, go back to investigate something that we couldn't understand?

Isn’t it delicious to visit the harem with calligraphy and painting?

"Leader Song, these are not just a few leaders, these are 40,000 soldiers! We are about to have a war, and we already need soldiers. If some more are used to escort prisoners, how can we fight this battle?"

"Don't worry, Marshal Liu! I can choose five thousand soldiers from the Liangshan army to escort them!"

"Five thousand is also a lot of combat power! And this requires allocating food and fodder for another 45,000 people!"

"Commander Liu, forgive Song Jiang for not daring to disobey the Holy Order!"

Listening to the conversation between the two, Gao Qiu immediately interjected and asked: "What? Only 5,000 people are sent to escort? How can that be done? Send 10,000! These prisoners are making trouble and 5,000 people will definitely not be able to suppress it! If there is really trouble, , when the Holy Spirit takes the blame, can you afford it?"

Liu Yuanhui shouted: "Gao Qiu! You are really pushing your limits! Forty thousand rebels need to be escorted by ten thousand people? Do you know..."

"Song Jiang takes the order!"

Liu Yuanhui's words were immediately choked in his throat.

Song Jiang's words made Liu Yuanhui feel stuck in his throat for a moment, and he didn't know where to start if he wanted to curse.

Is it possible that this person has a stupid brain? !

Even though he said it so clearly, he still agreed outright. He was pedantic, simply pedantic in the extreme!

Gao Qiu on the side said proudly: "It's better that Leader Song knows the importance! In this case, please ask Leader Song to select the prisoners who have been incorporated into the army and put them in prison, and then send 10,000 troops to escort them! I will choose a capable subordinate to be in charge!"

After saying that, he turned around and shouted outside the tent: "Li Yuhou! Where did you die! Come in!"

Li Yuhou, who had a bruised nose and swollen face, poked his head in and said, "Captain, the villain is here!"

He was frightened by Xing just now, but now he is in a state of panic.

"I have ordered you to be responsible for escorting 40,000 rebels back to Bianliang! Get ready and set off tomorrow!"

"Ah?! This..."

"What are you afraid of! There are ten thousand horses and horses accompanying you!" Gao Qiu walked to Li Yuhou and whispered: "You remember to keep the food and fodder for fifty thousand people and the captives, exchange them for silver and send them to my house! "

"Lieutenant, I'm afraid this is not good. After all, they are not local people. What if we don't let them eat enough and cause trouble?"

"So I asked for 10,000 soldiers and horses to escort you! The rebel prisoners still want to have enough to eat, so what are you dreaming about? If you are asked to go, you can go! The benefits will be yours after the event is completed!"

"I obey my orders!"

After Li Yuhou left the tent, Gao Qiu said to everyone: "The army will set out tomorrow! Go straight to Hangzhou, the home of the rebels!"

Liu Yuanhui frowned: "The specific military information from Hangzhou has not been sent yet. We cannot attack Hangzhou at this time. I have already made a specific plan!"

Gao Qiu retorted: "I am the censor and supervisor of the army! You must listen to me! Just attack Hangzhou! Fight quickly!"

Liu Yuanhui looked at the idiot-like Gao Qiu, lowered his head and smiled, walked to his ear and said: "Gao Qiu! You'd better not be too arrogant! Song Jiang and I will not kill you. But I can't guarantee the others. , don’t forget, most of the counter-rebellion army are Liangshan bandits in your eyes! Lin Chong is not the only one who wants to kill you! Aren’t you afraid of being hacked at night? "

When Lin Chong was mentioned, Gao Qiu's hair immediately stood up, and the scene of being severely whipped by him in Liangshan was still vivid in his mind.

Seeing that his words had an effect, Liu Yuanhui continued to speak: "Captain Gao, of course you have to listen to the words of the censor and supervisor, but we have already formulated a strategy to defeat the thieves. Why don't you take a look first before making a decision?"

Gao Qiu pretended to be calm and replied: "Oh? In that case, then just tell me!"

Liu Yuanhui then told Gao Qiu the battle plan of dividing his troops into two groups.

After hearing this, Gao Qiu nodded and said, "Well! Your plan is not a bad idea! Then execute it according to this plan! Tomorrow we will set out to celebrate the flag!"

Liu Yuanhui widened his eyes and said, "Tomorrow? Our food and grass have not arrived first, and the wood for our siege equipment has not yet dried. Will we go out tomorrow? Gao Qiu, have you ever fought in a war?"

Just when Gao Qiu was about to refute, Song Jiang, who had been silent for a long time, said loudly: "You two adults, please stop arguing! We will go on an expedition tomorrow!"

Liu Yuanhui: "..."
