Chapter two hundred and ninety sixth mutual exploration
Fang La had six prefectures and forty-two counties after obtaining Hangzhou, and completely occupied half of the entire Yangzhou. Moreover, because Hangzhou was in his hands, he could attack and defend and completely occupied a favorable situation.
At this time, Fang La completely stood firm, so he wanted to show his strength and status to the whole world, especially the people in the Green Forest. The best way to do this is to hold a Green Forest Heroes Conference.
According to convention, only those who have reached the prefecture-level leader are qualified to convene, otherwise others will not bother to pay attention to you. Fang La obviously already has this strength.
Of course, it is definitely time-consuming and labor-intensive to hold this conference. You have to send someone out to send invitations. At that time, people will have good food, drinks and treats, and gifts. However, the benefits are also great. First, they can make themselves famous, second, they can attract more good people, and third, if there is anything that can be answered, everyone can come and help, so the major forces like to do this, and Fang La is no exception. He sent more than a dozen subordinates to contact the Green Forest Force in Jiuzhou.
Fang He was sent to contact the person in charge of Qingzhou. The contact target set by Qingzhou at the beginning did not include Liangshan. After all, the real prosperity of Liangshan is what happened after Du Jia went up the mountain, and this reputation was limited to Qingzhou. Fang La, who was far away in Yangzhou, Jiangnan, and the others did not know about it.
But Fang He was not actually talking about the nameless little man himself, but a captain of the intelligence siege brigade under Fang La's command, or a cousin of Fang La. He followed Fang La from the beginning, so he had a high level of friendship and trust, which was similar to Zhu Gui's status in Liangshan. Therefore, he was naturally meticulous in his work for Fang La, and helped him as much as possible to gather all powerful forces.
Therefore, he has been working hard to inquire about the news among major forces. He was surprised that the most famous forces in Qingzhou last year were not the old forces such as Erlong Mountain, Taohua Mountain, and Qinglongzhai, but a very strange place called Liangshan. They also knew about Liangshan, but they still stayed in the era of Du Qian and Song Wan. There were only 300 people and only 300,000 yuan of money and grain. The ordinary ones were no longer ordinary. How could they be taken into the eyes of the arrogant Fang La and the others?
However, after learning about Liangshan's achievements in the past or two years, Fang He felt very awesome. He asked his subordinates to send letters to more than a dozen other forces, and he came straight to Liangshan himself. According to the original plan, he was going to Erlong Mountain. Even Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi's name were heard of even Jiangnan.
Although his subordinates had objections, Fang He had already made up his mind, so it was hard for others to say anything. This is why Fang He was here.
When everyone in Liangshan heard that it was Fang La and the others invited him, Song Jiang smiled and immediately used one of his two tricks - respect for the wise and the wise men. The other party and Fang La praised him. He was good at eloquence, and his posture was very low, which made Fang He feel very comfortable and couldn't help but smile.
Then Lao Zhi immediately used his other trick - the silver bullet attack. With a wave of his hand, he directly asked his subordinates to bring a proposal of 100 taels of silver. That was 100 taels. Generally speaking, giving ten taels is considered generous. For example, at that time, Sun Erniang and his wife gave Wu Song so much. This can no longer be described as generous but only as luxury.
But what is surprising is that Fang He actually refused such a generous gift. He smiled slightly and said, "Thank you to the Liangshan leaders for their kindness, but they are not satisfied with the help of the money. The boy is just a small soldier under King Fang. If he receives this benefit, he will definitely be punished. I hope the recipient will forgive him."
This was beyond the expectations of the old traitor. His silver bullet attack has always been in full swing, and it will be immediate when thrown out. Except for a few exceptions such as Lin Chong, Wu Song and Pei Xuan, those are by no means simple characters, but heroes among heroes, and they are already preconceived and loyal to Du Jia. But this small Fang He can resist. Could it be that he is hiding it?
But Du Jia read another meaning from Fang He's eyes. He has always been clear in his eyes since he went up the mountain. On the surface, he is very polite and polite, but in fact, he has been carefully observing the situation on the mountain since he came in. And he was really unmoved when facing the generous gifts given by the old traitor. Of course, Du Jia doesn't believe that anyone would not love money. Even if there is one, he would just choose one out of ten thousand. This only means that Fang Hezhi is not here.
Then what could be more tempting than money? Du Jia suddenly remembered that when Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu of Han who was just Pei Gong, had just captured Xianyang, he had always been greedy and lustful, and he did not take money and the beauty was not favored. It was not that he had changed his personality, but that he was determined to be the world, so he naturally did not take these little things seriously.
As soon as you know autumn, Fang He can see Fang La's ambition. His goal is not just to capture a few prefectures and counties. He is probably aimed at Yangzhou and even the whole world. Hangzhou will never be his end, but only his "gaochao" point. Therefore, even his close friends are full of passion and ambition. They don't care about the temptations such as silver and money beauties. They believe that there will be more and better choices in the future.
On the contrary, when a huge number of people in a team begin to enjoy happiness, greedy for money, and do not want to make progress, that is when this force begins to decline. For example, the Song Dynasty is like this now. In fact, their foundation is still very solid. One hundred thousand imperial guards, eight hundred thousand imperial guards, six hundred thousand border troops, more than one million xiangjun village brave men, and more than one million xiangjun townsmen, and many smart men among military generals and civil officials. In terms of absolute strength, all the rebel forces in the world are not half as good as them. However, they are full of contradictions and extremely greedy.
Du Jia instantly saw many secrets of Fang La's forces. If Fang He knew about it, he would be so surprised that he couldn't even close his mouth. In fact, he had already controlled himself when he came up the mountain. He rarely spoke, and he would never say anything he shouldn't say, but he was afraid of revealing some of his own information. Unexpectedly, Du Jia could only see from some details.
Du Jia smiled faintly and rescued Song Jiang and said, "Since Brother Fang He's family is in the rich place in Jiangnan, and the little silver that is not subject to the despise village is reasonable, then this wine must be drunk, otherwise it will be despised by our Jianghu lineage. Brother Qi, Tie Niu, Brother Liu Tang, why don't you drink some bowls with Brother Fang?"
