When Tang Fengxiao saw the lame man, he felt as if he had seen a ghost.
His eyes were full of surprise.
"Aren't you already dead?"
"I'm not alive in front of you. Even ghosts don't dare to come out in broad daylight." The lame man said with a smile.
Tang Fengxiao took a few steps forward and circled around the cripple carefully, "How did you escape?"
The lame man smiled and said, "Peng Weizhong is dead, and now I am Song Jiang."
Tang Fengxiao poured tea for the lame man, "I really didn't expect to see you again."
The lame man disagreed, "I almost died, but I survived, but you, Brother Tang, I think you are going to die soon."
Tang Fengxiao belongs to the Tang family, one of the six major families in Lingzhou, but he was born of a slave in the family. Like Peng Weizhong before, he was also despised by the family. Even his father did not regard Tang Fengxiao as a Tang family. He was not even qualified to be named Tang when he was young.
No.
He is obviously the son of the head of the family, Tang Xia Xian, but Tang Xia Xian does not admit it at all. He has been a slave in the Tang family with his Kunlun slave mother since he was a child.
Until he was eighteen years old, he and other slaves went deer hunting with their parents, and suddenly encountered a tiger. Tang Xiaxian and his son Tang Fengyi shot the tiger with several arrows, but failed to kill it.
When Tang Xiaxian rushed over, his horse was knocked down, and he was about to be killed by the tiger. His horse servant Tang Fengxiao rushed forward to fight with the injured tiger, and actually killed the tiger with a tiger spear and saved Tang Xiaxian.
After this incident, although Tang Xiaxian still did not admit that the horse servant, who was as black as the Kunlun slave, was his son, he officially gave him the name Tang Fengxiao.
Later, Tang Fengxiao also joined the Sui Xiaoguo Army with Tang Fengyi, the eldest son of the Tang Dynasty.
In Jiangdu, his elder brothers Tang Fengyi and Sima Dekan led a rebellion led by Feng Yuwen Wenji, who committed regicide, but Tang Fengxiao refused to participate. Afterwards, Yu Wenhuaji wanted to kill him, but Tang Fengyi begged for mercy on his behalf, and he was eventually expelled.
After leaving the Xiaoguo Army, Tang Fengyi also drove him out of the Tang family.
More than ten years have passed.
The head of the Tang family also changed from Tang Xiaxian, the Duke of Anle County, who had been the governor of Shangjun, to Tang Fengyi, the regicide.
Tang Fengyi served as the governor of Lingzhou for one year during his third year in Wude, and is now the governor of Suzhou.
And Tang Fengxiao, who was expelled from the Forbidden Army and the Tang family, had been going around in circles for many years, and he had no intention of becoming an official and concentrated on being a businessman.
He settled in Shuofang and became a powerful family in Shanlu.
Now he is a powerful man with thousands of acres of farmland, many workshops, and caravans under his name.
In the past, Peng Zizi and this charcoal-like Kunlun slave bastard had some sympathy for each other, and they got along very well. The two of them even smuggled secretly. Tang Fengxiao was in Liang, and he was in Tang, selling all kinds of slaves, livestock, grain, ironware, etc.
It was a pleasure to work with me and I made a lot of money.
"You're not here to be a lobbyist, are you?" Tang Fengxiao was very dark. If it weren't for his gorgeous clothes, he would be no different from a Kunlun slave.
He also suffered a lot of injustice because of the black color he inherited from his mother. Although he looked very similar to Tang Xiaxian, Tang Xiaxian did not acknowledge this son until his death.
Tang Fengxiao was very dark, tall and strong. He could race with a galloping horse and be strong enough to fight a tiger, but he was also very smart.
Although Peng Zizi's appearance surprised him, a few words made him feel that the timing of his arrival was delicate.
"I heard that the reckless Sundana is robbing you?"
Tang Fengxiao just smiled, the matter was obvious, Shanlu City is like this now.
"How much have you been robbed of?"
The lame man didn't wait for his answer and said to himself, "It's not over, it's not over yet. As long as the siege is not lifted for one day, Sun Da will continue to plunder.
According to the current situation, it is difficult for Shanlu City to resist, but Sun Da has no choice. He must carry it if he can, and he must carry it if he cannot. It is the merchants and common people all over the city who have suffered.
The soldiers under Sun Da have no military discipline at all and only take advantage of the opportunity to rob and extort."
Tang Fengxiao was a little curious, "The Peng and Han families in Lingzhou were uprooted. Are you still serving the Tang army?"
"What's wrong?" The lame man didn't hide anything and said with a smile, "The Peng family was destroyed. It was all the fault of one's own actions. To be honest, the men of the Peng family, those who looked down on me before, are all in the end.
The head that I personally chopped off with an axe.
In the past, each of them had a very proud head, but when their heads were pressed on the wooden pillar, each one of them desperately begged me for mercy, and some of them even peed in fear."
"When I cut off their heads, I felt so good, even better than the first time I went to a brothel."
"Kunlun slave, I'm here to save you. Although you have made a lot of money over the years, but now you are trapped here, and you have no relationship no matter what. That reckless man Sun Da will not care whether you and Liang Xuan are...
What does it matter? He is already going crazy.
Even if you hand over all your family property, you won't be able to leave this besieged city alive. He will definitely find an opportunity to kill you, so that you don't have to worry about settling the score in the future."
"Shut up, lame, I hate it when people call me Kunlun slave."
"Hahaha, what's the use of hating me? No matter how much you hate me, you can't get rid of it. My lame leg won't heal either. We are brothers in trouble. I'm here to save you now."
Tang Fengxiao sighed, "I'm really curious now. You, the unruly Peng Laizi, are now being treated as dogs? What tricks do you have to let others take advantage of you? Where are you hiding the woman you love?"
The illegitimate child was found?"
"Shit, I will never marry, take concubines, or have children in this life. The doctor has already told me that although I can play with women, but I can't have children, I will just be a bastard mule born from a donkey and a horse.
No matter how strong I am, I can't produce offspring, and besides, I'm still a cripple."
"Then why are you working for others now?" Kunlun slave was puzzled.
"Because I owe someone a life, and he asked me to destroy the Peng family with my own hands, so I agreed to work for him."
Kunlun Nu was surprised.
"I don't even know you now. You feel very strange. You don't look like the cripple I knew before."
"People will always change, Kunlun slave, listen to my advice, you are about to die, I will save you."
"Really? Save me? And then you want me to be a dog for others? I really want to be a dog for others. When I was in Jiangdu, I followed Tang Fengyi and became a dog for Yu Wenhuaji. If I really want to be a dog, these years I also
I have already returned to the Tang family in Lingzhou, I have been away all the time, I just don’t want to be treated like a dog anymore.”
"You want to be treated like a dog, but they may not be willing to accept it. I'll save your life, but you do me a favor and pay it off. In this way, you can not only survive, but also the property and property you have purchased over the years can be preserved. How about that?"
"
"I have to think about it."
"What else are you thinking about? Do you want your wives, concubines, and children to become the playthings of slaves like Sun Da, or do you want your children to eventually become slaves, be sold, and even be taken to the slave fighting field?"
Killing people for fun?"
Tang Fengxiao, who was as black as charcoal, was silent.
He had been a domestic slave in the Tang family for eighteen years and knew the plight of slaves very well.
"What do you need me to do?"
"Don't worry, it's very simple."
Tang Fengxiao was the most powerful powerful man in the small place of Shanlu. He had many fields, many slaves, many pastures, shops and workshops, and he had strong connections in all aspects.
Shanlu City was besieged and when Sun Da distributed money and food, Tang Fengxiao cooperated very well. Although it was becoming more and more excessive, he was not reluctant to give up money at this time.
But Lame Man made it clear to him that continuing like this was not an option.
As the most powerful local man, Tang Fengxiao acted very quickly and was very efficient. Now that Sun Da was acting more and more excessively and Liang Jun had no military discipline, everyone's resentment became more and more intense. He took concubines in the name of
, a banquet for guests.
Servants of the Tang family sent invitations to each family.
Loyal servants also contacted various parties on his behalf.
A lame man and a Kunlun slave, the two of them plotted in Shanlu City, which was guarded by eight thousand Liang troops.
Tens of thousands of Tang troops surrounded the city outside the city.
Liang Jun kept searching the city.
Everyone's resentment continued to rise. When Tang Fengxiao secretly contacted some powerful people close to him and wanted to take action, although many people hesitated, they finally saw Peng Zizi and decided to take the risk after his words.
.
The Liang Kingdom is about to end.
This is what everyone wants.
At this time, Peng Zizi and Tang Heizi obviously wanted to lead everyone to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. After receiving a personal letter from Shi Wuhuaiyu, the governor of Lingzhou, Peng Zizi brought them a letter. With the assurance, they became bolder.
Sun Da is a fierce general, but he is also a fool.
If he had been smarter, he would have known that when a large army besieged a city, it was even more important to unite the hearts of the people and restrain military discipline, rather than letting the soldiers run wild.
He himself needs to control himself more, instead of beating and scolding his subordinates at such times, or even unable to change his old lustful habits, and still wants to occupy other people's wives and daughters.
Peng Zizi, Tang Heizi, and some local powerful people began to connect together and soon formed an anti-Sun alliance.
Among these people were powerful local people like Tang Heizi, subordinate officials in the government office, officers from Sun's Ministry, and even his deputy in the personal army.
Because the Tang army that was besieging the city only besieged but did not attack, the city gradually became more relaxed.
In the Tang Dynasty, Fengxiao took a concubine and held a banquet, and all the prominent people in the city came.
This is how a Hongmen night banquet began.
Sun Da was not even alert and actually asked people around him whether the concubine Tang Fengxiao had taken was beautiful.
"This Kunlun slave actually has the leisure to take a concubine. It seems that the money and food allocated to him are still too little."
Tang family.
Tang Fengxiao and Peng Zizi have already made preparations. As the top local tycoon, Tang Fengxiao is not only a big landowner, he also made his fortune mainly through smuggling and slave trading. He has a very tough team under him, all of them are swordsmen.
Blood-licking desperadoes, slave-catchers, and smugglers all cost their lives.
Tang Fengxiao was also the leader of the Shanlu Tuan.
"General Sun is here!"
Sun Da arrived with a group of soldiers, and the Tang family steward announced loudly.
Tang Fengxiao led a group of people to greet him at the door in person.
"Kunlun slave, where is your new concubine? Why don't you bring it to the general to see?"
"General Sun, please come inside. You'll see him soon."
The night breeze is blowing.
The band played and sang.
There are many guests at the door.
There was a lot of entertainment and entertainment, and it was very noisy.
Sun Da shouted that he wanted to see Kunlun Nuxinna's concubine first, so Tang Fengxiao actually took him to the backyard. The deputy of the guard team took the leader to sit down, and asked his guards to find a seat in the outer courtyard to eat wine and meat.
.
"where?"
Sun Da stroked his beard and entered the backyard with a smile. Looking east and west, Peng Zizi limped out slowly. With a whistle, the backyard door was closed, and then a large group of people armed with swords, shields, and crossbows poured out from various rooms.
soldiers.
"General Sun, long time no see." Peng Zizi greeted with a smile.
Sun Da knew Peng Laizi, and he had received him in the past as a filial piety and provided him with many conveniences.
"Aren't you dead? What does this mean?"
The lame man stepped forward, jumped up and slapped him, "You are damn blind. There has been a mutiny. Now you are a prisoner of my Kunlun slaves. We want you to summon your generals immediately."
"In a moment, I will sacrifice the city to surrender to the Tang Dynasty. It depends on whether you understand the current affairs. If you understand the current affairs, you will surrender together. If you don't, we will surrender with your head."
Sun Da's expression changed drastically, and he wanted to resist, but faced with the bows, crossbows, swords, and shields of hundreds of dead soldiers, he could not utter a single harsh word.
Tang Fengxiao stepped forward and said, "General Sun, those who know the current affairs are heroes. With the current situation, why should we sit here and wait for death? Although General Sun came from there before, the military commander has said it before. As long as General Sun is willing to surrender, not only the previous
Let the matter be forgotten, and I will ensure that you are at least a fifth-grade guerrilla general."
The crossbowmen approached step by step.
Sun Da looked at the few soldiers around him and said helplessly, "Okay, I will listen to your arrangements."
After Sun Da finished speaking, he seemed to feel relieved.
Next, he followed the lame man's words and summoned the generals from the central part of the city. Those lieutenants who had secretly turned against him went to deliver the message in person, and the generals were not suspicious.
After arriving, every one of them was under control.
Later, Sun Da was asked to pass down military orders, and the defense of the four city gates was mobilized, and the generals who had surrendered earlier took over.
When the morning sun finally rises.
Tang Fengxiao accompanied Sun Da and led a group of generals and officials to open the gate of Shanlu City and surrender to the Tang army outside the city.
Tang Jun, who already knew the situation last night, had already made preparations early.
The Tang army formed a formation outside the city, and the waves spread out.
Sun Da took the lead to leave the city holding a white flag.
His generals followed him out of the city and threw their swords on the ground outside the city.
On the same day, Sun Da led eight thousand Liang troops to surrender.
After everything was over, when Yang Gongren and Duan Decao sat with Huaiyu in the Shanlu City Yamen Hall, they were still a little bit out of their minds.
"I really didn't expect that all eight thousand Liang troops surrendered without even firing an arrow."
"Wuchang Shi is really amazing."
Yang Gongren and Duan Decao are both famous coaches, but they never thought they could be like this.
It's so unexpected.
The original plan was to besiege rather than attack, divide the troops to sweep the perimeter, and then withdraw. Who would have thought that there would be such an unexpected gain.
"Sunda is very aware of current affairs."
Yang Gongren knew who Sun Da was, and he was surprised that Wu Huaiyu could pull off such an amazing rebellion in such a short period of time.
"That Tang Fengxiao is the younger brother of Suzhou Governor Tang Fengyi? The Tang family of the six major families in Lingzhou?"
"Well, Tang Fengxiao was the son of a maid of the Tang family. His mother was a black slave from Kunlun. He was never recognized by the Tang family before, and then he went out to set up his own business." Wu Huaiyu briefly explained a few words to Yang Gongren, Duan Decao and the others, but only said that this time he was instigating rebellion.
He contacted the powerful Tang Fengxiao in Shanlu City through the Tang family in Lingzhou, but did not reveal any information about Xingxian Si, Peng Zizi and others.
"It's time to give credit to the Tang family and Tang Fengxiao."
"What to do with these eight thousand surrendered troops?" Huaiyu asked.
"What advice does Takeshi have?"
"I suggest that those officers who are willing to return to Shuofang can be allowed to go back, including Sun Da." Huaiyu said, "but none of the soldiers should be released and all should be sent back to Lingyan."
Duan Decao stroked his beard and asked, "Is Wu Changshi trying to create a rift?"
