On the eve of dawn, the atmosphere among the states, counties, and villages on the east bank of Liangshan River and on the north bank was restless and agitated. The states and counties closed their city gates. On the city walls, the soldiers and policemen in charge of guarding were all up, looking into the darkness.
Everything. In some villages without city walls, stockades, and crowded places, Baojia was also awakened from his sleep by the messengers. They woke up the villagers and farmers and came out with swords, guns and weapons. Many people were awakened by this.
, the lights were lit, and then they were urged to blow them out. The lights flickered one after another, and then everyone was alert to everything outside in the darkness. In the night wind, only the barking of dogs could be heard occasionally.
Liangshan has been broken, and the bandits have begun to break up and flee. Such news spread around at the fastest speed in the early morning. Before that, even the most well-informed people only knew that Wurui Camp only started on June 20th.
Attacking Liangshan, Liangshan was defeated in two days.
The distance is too far, and ordinary villagers around may not fully understand the power of Liangshan. For most people, the news of the officers and soldiers returning home in defeat is not surprising, and the news of the collapse of the Liangshan bandits seems to be natural.
, neither existence can be measured by themselves. Only the bandits who escaped after the war are closely related to everyone's lives.
In fact, in the mountains and shores stretching to the east and north of Shuibo, the defeated Liangshan people were indeed approaching the shore in different directions and escaping. There were large groups of forces in the process, and they were also accompanying each other in twos and twos.
Relatives and friends. On the north shore of the water park, the night wind fanned the fire. The three large ships chased by the officers and soldiers' warships were all on fire. In the end, one of them hit the rocks not far from the shore and could no longer move forward.
From the rear, ships of officers and soldiers were chasing after them, raining arrows, javelins, and fishing nets. The leading general and his soldiers came out of the boat and fought on the shoal and in the woods on the shore. On the other side of Liangshan, several leaders fought hard.
Shouting everyone rushed into the woods. Taking advantage of the darkness, hundreds of people fled towards the surrounding fields, villages, and wild forests.
In some places, some people took small boats and stopped on the shore full of weeds and rocks, and helped their wives or family members carrying their burdens down. They held the knives in their hands or threw their weapons into the river.
In the water, I looked back at the night and finally left, praying in my heart that I would not be caught on the next road.
On the east bank of the water, the dilapidated small fishing village was still immersed in the darkness of the night. The thin girl who was born into a fisherman's family had already gotten up and went to fetch water from the small pier beside the village with a wooden bucket. When the night wind blew, she squatted
There, I closed my eyes and breathed in the cool morning air, and then strange fluctuations came over me.
She opened her eyes wide and looked forward, but she couldn't see much. Until... a huge silhouette cut through the waves and suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.
The girl was stunned for a moment, turned around and was about to run away. Then there was a loud noise, and the warship crashed into the small wooden pier and was pushed ashore, breaking the tranquility of the night.
After one boat, another boat, two boats, three boats... The restless air began to appear in the firelight. Crowds got off the boats and began to flood the dilapidated small fishing village. Firelights lit up in some houses, and dogs were barking.
, and then an arrow was shot from the boat, accurately piercing the dog's throat. Under the first big boat that was pushed to the shore, the girl who was fetching water had her legs broken, and her whole body was crushed in a piece of broken ruins.
, while crying, his body was still shaking. The leader who got off the boat looked at it, hesitated for a moment, but also shook his head.
"Girl, I will free you." He pulled out the knife and stabbed it into the girl's neck. After the blood spurted out, the girl finally stopped moving.
Groups of people got off the boat, making countless restless sounds. The soldiers drove the awakened villagers and asked some family members and leaders to go to the room to rest for a while. After several family members of the dead girl came out of the house, she
His father cried under the push of the Liangshan soldiers, then picked up the wooden fork on the side and tried to fight with the people. Suddenly, he was slashed with a knife and the fork, and then kicked him away among the nearby debris.
, soaked with blood.
"A bunch of bastards! They want to hurt my brother!" the leader shouted angrily, and then stared at the remaining people and the surrounding villagers who were being driven away. "Grandpa spared your life, but you don't know what to do. If anyone dares to pester you again,
, Grandpa killed them all just like him!"
A total of nearly 4,000 people gathered for a while near the fishing village, and then gathered according to the new leader's organization. In the wind as dawn approached, they listened to Song Jiang's voice.
"...I, Song Jiang and Song Gongming, have tried my best to make friends and valued loyalty throughout my life. Whenever my brothers were in trouble, I would always try my best to help them. I also had the ambition to serve the country, but unfortunately, the traitors in the court were in power and I was trapped by others. I had no choice but to fall into the trap.
I wish to leave a pure land in Liangshan, so that we, the children of Jianghu, can live here and have a way to survive... But everyone has seen the situation on Liangshan tonight. The man is aggressive and unwilling to give me a way to survive...
…I, Song Jiang, swear here that I will never be sworn in with this person as long as I live..."
"... When I was in Liangshan, I got together with my brothers. I came and went as I came. It is still the same today... Liangshan is where it is today. First, I, Song Jiang, am incompetent. No wonder those brothers on the mountain turned against me.
, they are fighting for life and death, because of the devil, there is no way... But the brothers here now are the most trustworthy brothers around Song Jiang, and we cannot make the same mistakes again... From now on, I also promise you that I
I will definitely fight my way out of this predicament with my brothers and seek justice from the devil who manipulates people's hearts..."
The words were submerged in the wind. Soon after, dozens of captured officers and soldiers were brought to the stage. The crowd went up and killed them one by one. They chopped and stabbed them with knives and guns, and blood flowed all over the ground. Almost all the corpses were covered with blood.
Chop them all into pieces. The fishing village and the warships next to the fishing village were set on fire. While the villagers gathered aside were crying, some were shouting.
"... If you want to blame! You go blame those officers and soldiers! We have been forced to the point of desperation! But even so, I, Liangshan Renyi, will only take your money and food today, not your lives! As for the rest, you go to the government
Yes! There are fish in the water and rice is about to ripen in the fields, leaving a way for you and others to survive. From now on, I hope you and others will take care of themselves and do not collude with the government to do evil. Otherwise, the day when I, the hero of Liangshan, come back, your heads will fall to the ground.
That day!”
On June 22nd, nearly 60,000 people in Liangshan, who were originally among the Juyi water pools, had been completely dispersed. But even though the fighting on Liangshan was horrifying, except for the 4,000 people who fled Liangshan in an organized manner headed by Song Jiang,
In addition to the crowd, there were thousands of people who also chose to flee during the rout. Among them, there were leaders such as Lin Chong who organized the escapes with manpower around them to cover, and there were also scattered rout led by various big and small bosses. In a few days,
Within a short period of time, the atmosphere of turmoil and tension was dispersed towards the land near the water park.
This strange and magnificent victory was, to a certain extent, exciting after all. Based on this fact, most of the people in the surrounding states and counties who knew about this young man from the capital felt
It's terrifying. No matter who it is, he leads a group of people here and plays some conspiracy to cause Liangshan to be defeated. It can give people this feeling of standing on the mountain. What's more, he also has the trust of the right minister, so he can only
He regarded him as the most outstanding big shot in the capital. Under this influence, several surrounding prefectures and counties did not dare to defy his will. Within a few days, they searched and besieged the surroundings and captured many Liangshan defeated troops.
In addition to the power of the government, the villages and cottages in Shandong have the power to protect themselves. Firstly, for their own safety considerations, and secondly, because of the collapse of the wall, many conflicts occurred due to the defeat of Liangshan.
, leaving many lives behind, but the endurance capacity of this area is actually the highest. It does not mean that you can steal melons from the farmer's field with a knife. You have to be mentally prepared to be beaten to death. During this period, only
Several larger-scale defeated forces caused trouble in the surrounding area. The most influential force was the more than 3,000 people headed by Song Jiang.
In two or three days, these more than 3,000 people fled quickly, stealing money and food wherever they went, burning down houses, but not many people were killed. Then they publicized the news that they were cornered by the government and began to move towards the officers and soldiers.
to put pressure on this side. During this period, they were blocked once by officers and soldiers. However, the Wurui Battalion only had more than 20,000 people. With the troops divided, the interception force was not enough. After a fight, they were finally forced to
More than 3,000 desperadoes broke through.
At noon on the third day when Song Jiang and others were wreaking havoc, on a hill in a barren mountain, Lin Chong was holding a horse and carrying a gun, bidding farewell to more than 200 people around him.
"Lin's whole life... he only knew how to dance with guns and sticks. In fact, his character, talents and virtues were all lacking, so he was forced to kill his family and forced to go to Liangshan. Brothers looked up at Lin, and Lin Chong felt guilty. This time
Liangshan has dispersed, and there is nothing wrong with going up the mountain with all the brothers. However, there are still some things to be done before that, so we can only take a step forward. When Lin comes back one day, if he can get news from the brothers, he will come back to meet with the brothers...
…”
In the last few days of Liangshan, leaders like Lin Chong were more or less aware of Song Jiang and Wu Yong's plans, as well as the split of the entire Liangshan. The other party did not call him because of Ning Yi's words.
He could understand the fear that arose. In fact, even if he was called, he would not go with him. This time, as a group of trustworthy brothers broke out, at this time, the disaster was temporarily over, but he had to
Everyone actually understands why he left. He had been to the Su family and the other party would not let him go. He also did not want to implicate these brothers.
This time he was determined to leave, and everyone tried to stay for a while, but then reluctantly said goodbye.
And with the collapse of Liangshan and the spread of banditry, something else is spreading out. That was after the early morning of June 22, through the mouths of some people who still planned to leave, words spread.
.
"...Song Jiang's whole life, whether he was an enemy or a friend, he was aboveboard, confident and can treat others openly. Even if he was an enemy, he could confront others openly on the battlefield. I was forced to beg for a meal in the green forest.
We have no choice, but we must follow the rules and morals... Today, this bloody man slaughtered Ning Liheng, but he only knew how to be ruthless, killed without restraint, and used vicious and treacherous schemes. We, Liangshan brothers, originally gathered for loyalty, but this person designed and
Under coercion, brothers in Liangshan fought against each other and turned against each other, which is really the worst thing in the world... But without this person's vicious design, it would never have happened like this! This person manipulates and incites people so powerfully that if things go on like this,
How can there be any morality in my green forest..."
"...Song Jiang doesn't know whether he can defeat this person. You have brothers and family members who want to leave at this time. Song Jiang also understands that he will pay for it, but he only hopes to use your mouth to tell the story of this person's evil deeds and bring Liangshan to the end."
Tell me what happened. If this person is here, there will be no morality in the green forest, and everyone will be a puppet in his hands. This matter... you have to guard against."
These words did not carry any "Juyi Order", but in the name of "Hu Baoyi" Song Jiang, from this day on, it spread throughout the green forests, rivers and lakes. His name in the entire Wu Dynasty may not be as famous as Shenggong Fangla.
, but the reputations of benevolence and righteousness such as "Hu Baoyi" and "Timely Rain" actually still have great weight. In a few days, the news was only spreading little by little, and the waves that were about to be set off were still quietly brewing.
, only some people can understand the power contained in such rumors.
"Since we have already moved to make him miserable, of course we must be mentally prepared to be attacked by him." Ning Yi was silent for a while after hearing the news, and then smiled casually, "'Heart
Demon Ning Liheng, well, this nickname is quite popular. I wonder if I will become a big demon at the same level as Fang La in the future..."
In fact, when he was about to deal with Song Jiang and others wholeheartedly, both he and Song Jiang actually underestimated the ripples this matter would eventually cause. If you look at it from the opposite direction to Ning Yi, this
It was almost the beginning of an out-and-out "martial arts catastrophe" that lasted for more than ten years...
Nowadays, all this is still quietly brewing with some clues, and it spreads with the end of the massacre of Liangshan. On days like this, some guests from Luliang Mountain quietly arrived in Shandong, and then
…
"...**Your mother - why don't you die! Go die quickly! Why didn't you say you were going to kidnap this kind of person! I've been with you for so long, you bastards are all over him*
*He came here to die when he got tired of living! He kidnapped people!? All 60,000 people died in front of him!**... I don’t want the last part anymore, buy a coffin for you! I want to go back to Luliang Mountain and join everyone
I'm laughing at you, you bastards! I want to go home to my family to my family—"
I don’t know where such voices came from. Under the same sky, on the surface of a small river in Shandong, a figure stood on a boat and went down the water. The figure was wearing a red skirt, a bamboo hat, and an ancient sword on its back, like a fairy.
Waves pass through the dawn and come through the twilight——
