Many people have not yet known about the various changes in Jiangnan. However, the mobilization of the army in the city has attracted the attention of many people. Especially when people discovered that these people left the capital and headed south, there were many different opinions and speculations about what went wrong.

Only a few people knew the inside story, and Li Gang was naturally among them. After listening to the report from his subordinates and confidants, his old eyes were even more shining, showing a glee: "Okay! It's really the blessing of the ancestors of the Song Dynasty. Then Sun Tu really dispatched the troops in the capital there for the stability of Jiangnan as we thought. By the way, is there a definite number?"

"According to the news from the Song Taifu, the imperial guards have been drawn in the past two days, and at least 30,000 to 50,000 troops are still in preparation. It seems that they will leave Beijing in the short term. Moreover, the tens of thousands of troops leaving Beijing are all from the former Shandong Army and Jiangnan Army..." The subordinate replied with a smile.

Although Song Jiang, now the Minister of Justice, seems to have no interference with military affairs, it is actually easy to know these details based on his many years of reputation in the army, and it is even more impossible to have any deviations. Li Gang naturally believed these statements and laughed even more happily: "Okay, okay. It seems that Sun Tu really attaches great importance to the stability of Jiangnan. After all, it is a place where he has made his fortune, so even if it will affect his strength in the capital, it will be a waste of time. But this creates opportunities for us."

After pausing for a moment, he said solemnly: "By the way, did Song Jiang mention how many troops he can mobilize for his use now?"

"He only said that if he was sure, he would move immediately when he was within 20,000 or 30,000.

"Twenty or three thousand?" Li Gang frowned slightly, the number was still a little smaller. Because as far as he knew, the defenders of Tokyo Bianliang had always been more than 200,000. Even if Sun Tu temporarily drew nearly 100,000 soldiers because he was worried about the change in Jiangnan this time, there were more than 100,000 troops in the city. In other words, at that time, the strength comparison between the enemy and us was still a bit disparity.

But soon, he laughed again: "Song Jiang has always been cautious in his behavior and seeking stability. This number should be a bit conservative. If I expected it, the troops he could actually mobilize temporarily should be between 50,000. By doing so, the comparison of the forces between the two sides would be almost the same. What's more, this is because of intentional calculations and unintentionality. The soldiers loyal to Sun Tu can be placed outside the city early. As long as they are launched in time, the chances of victory will be quite good."

Following this idea, Li Gang felt more and more confident that he was eliminated by Sun Tu and his gang members in one fell swoop. This made the smile on his face become stronger: "Where are there people on that side? Have they ever been prepared?"

"Of course, they have already sent a message. As long as Li Xiang takes action, they will cooperate and follow up in time."

"Okay, this will give them another layer of guarantee..." Li Gang laughed happily, but then thought of another point: "Wait, if you have a great grasp now, you can keep another hand. In this way, I will write a handwritten warrant for them. Once you meet them, you will let them follow the orders. Only in this way can we increase our calculation by two more points." As he said that, he had already sat back on the desk, took paper and pen, quickly wrote a handwritten warrant, and solemnly handed it to his subordinates in front of him.

The man quickly took it with a serious expression: "The official understands, I will make arrangements now."

"There is one last thing, how long will those Western Xia envoys arrive in Tokyo?"

"The news came yesterday was that they had entered the Gyeonggi area. I believe they would arrive in the next two or three days."

"Is that so? The time to determine the fate of my Song Dynasty has finally come!" Li Gang exhaled a long sigh, but his expression was full of perseverance: "I think the ancestors of the Song Dynasty have spirits in heaven, and this time I will bless us to kill traitors and protect the country. My hundred-year inheritance of the Song Dynasty must not be ruined in the hands of those bloodthirsty martial artists!"

At the banquet, all kinds of dishes and wine were delivered like flowing water, which made the four or five men who were drinking the banquet look a little straight. After drinking several glasses of wine, they felt dizzy and said repeatedly: "Mr. Wu, you are so polite. I didn't expect that this has been many years, and you still value the loyalty between our brothers so much, and specially prepared such good wine and dishes for us."

Wu Yong waved his hand with a smile and said, "It's so weird for all brothers to speak like this. I think we were drinking wine and eating meat and doing it together in Liangshanpo. That was all a friendship that was life-long. How could we get divorced after a period of separation? It's also my fault. I've been busy with official duties in the past two years and have been less involved with you brothers. We should be closer in the future."

"As the Minister of Personnel, you have a great responsibility, so your brothers can understand it." Chen Da, the jumping rifle tiger who is also commanding in the imperial guards, said with a smile.

Xiang Chong, Meng Kang and Ma Lin, behind them, also agreed.

In fact, in fact, these people were not particularly outstanding when they were in the parody, and their relationship with Wu Yong was even more average. Now, the status gap between the two sides is even greater, so today they can be invited by Wu Yong to have a banquet, which makes them feel even more flattered.

Especially Chen Da, who is more clear-headed, whispered after three rounds of drinking: "Mr. Wu, you specially invited my brothers to come to your house to drink today to tell me the love of the past, right? If you have any instructions, you can say it out. As long as we brothers can do it, we will never dare to shirk responsibility."

"Yes, Military Secretary Wu, we brothers dare not say anything else, but we still attach great importance to the word "loyalty." Meng Kang also patted his chest and said.

As he spoke, the distance between several people and Wu Yong was closer again, and even the title changed back to the name he had in the past. This made Wu Yong's eyes reveal a different emotion. After a moment of anxiety, he smiled and said, "I knew that all brothers are the most loyal. Since that's the case, I will tell the truth. To be honest, all brothers have made various contributions to the court a few years ago, but in the end they only got a small official in the army. I always feel unfair for everyone."

"What's the matter? At least we have official positions now, so we can live a good life. There is no need to worry, for fear that the government army will come to the front of us one day when we wake up..."

"But this is not our original intention after all. With your ability, you can still go further in the army." Wu Yong said, and his eyes swept from them one by one: "Now, there is a chance to make great contributions for you, it depends on whether you have the courage to fight."

"This..." Seeing that he was speaking solemnly, the few people were shocked, and the little alcohol he had just drunk also dissipated. After hesitating for a while, Chen Da asked, "But what kind of opportunity is it?"

With these words, several pairs of eyes fell on Wu Yong at the same time. However, Wu Yong did not rush to say it at first, but raised his glass to toast them for a while, and then hesitated his true purpose. As soon as he said this, the faces of the people changed instantly, and the hesitation in his eyes became heavier: "This...this matter..."

"Brothers, we went up the mountain to make a name for one day, and then we will have the glory of today. But in Wu's opinion, this is not enough. As long as we can take action this time, once we succeed, it will be a great contribution to the rise and fall of the Song Dynasty. I dare not say anything else, but it is a matter of being named an earl by one person. Don't you want to win glory for your ancestors and seek a better background for future generations?"

Wu Yong's words really touched them. After looking at each other a few times, they all saw the intention in their eyes. Finally, Chen Da spoke on behalf of everyone: "Since Wu Military Advisor has said that, how dare we be ungrateful? As you said, we brothers will fight for this wealth, but we have a life, and we will never refuse!"

"Okay!" Wu Yong was overjoyed when he heard this and immediately raised his glass of wine: "Everyone, let's drink this glass full of wine, use this glass of wine as a proof, and work together to fight for wealth again! It's done!" As he said that, he raised his neck and poured a full glass of strong wine into his throat.

"Do it!" Others were infected by him and no longer hesitated. They served the cup and drank it, which was a promise on the spot. People like them who were born in a rash and valued loyalty and promises would never have the possibility of remorse once they agreed to something.

Next, everyone became more and more happy to drink until it was dark. Several people staggered out and finally couldn't even ride a horse, so they could only leave by their personal soldiers. Although Wu Yong had drunk a lot, he remained awake in the end. After sending them out in person, strange lights flashed in his eyes: "In the past few days, more than ten old brothers have been moved by me. In this way, great things are expected!"

But then, his face turned slightly, as if he had thought of something difficult. But soon, this emotion was suppressed by him with all his might: "For the sake of major events, some minor matters can only be left aside first! I, Wu Yong, have a clear conscience!"

At this time, the last afterglow of the setting sun shone on him, making him look particularly strange as if he was stained with blood...

Two days later, on August 24, outside the bustling and lively Tokyo City, a team suddenly appeared in a completely different style from that of the Song people. The team of thousands of people all had black and red faces, hair on their heads and scimitars hanging on their waists, looking particularly fierce and fierce. It was the team of the Western Xia envoys who finally arrived at their destination, Bianjing.
