Chapter 1246 Ren Xia raised his arms and shouted, stirring up the green forest in the world (5)
"In Xialangli Baitiao Zhang Shun was born by the Xunyang River and grew up at the foot of Xiaogu Mountain. His brother and his mother went to Xunyang River in Jiangzhou for business. Later, he was fortunate enough to conspire with my brother... Today I met with the leader Wei and several others. A hero brings great comfort to his life..."
Not only on Jingji Road and Hedong Road, Xiao Tang also used Jingnan Road to appease the envoys sent to Dengzhou in the west of Beijing to conquer the Fangshan bandits who broke into Fangzhou City in the west. They also had the opportunity to compete with Xiong'er Mountain and Funiu Mountain.棣, Teng Kan and the two brothers gathered together for justice, and gathered the soldiers and horses of the two mountains together with Yuan Lang, Dian and other tiger generals to form the Jishan Army. According to the generals, they were transferred to the boundary of Baozhou in Liaodong.
At that time, there were Xiong'er Mountain, Funiu Mountain, Dagushan, Xiaogushan and Baihe Water Village within the boundaries of Dengzhou. Several soldiers and horses were dedicated to opposing the government troops. Except for Ji Sansi, Ni Ting and other bandit leaders had been eliminated by Xiao Tang. In addition to Wu Shun, the leader of Xiaogushan, who was also willing to submit to Xi Sheng and others, there was still the Baihezhai water bandits who were in charge at that time. They were not willing to offend Xiao Tang so much that they ceased operations, and at the same time they were unwilling to do so because of Xiao Tang's status as a court official. The eight-clawed golden dragon who is willing to conspire with him threatens Zhaode and the green forest forces.
It is said that Wei Zhaode, whose ancestral home is Shangwan, did piracy in his early years when he traveled around the world. He can also wield a sword weighing dozens of kilograms. He is also praised as a brave man in the green forest. With Wei Zhaode The three brothers from Juyi, Zhang Jingzu, Tiehulu Liu Ti, and Han Kai, the flower-faced lynx, are also masters of the water team who know how to fight in water. Although there are several cottages around Xiong'er Mountain, Funiu Mountain, Dagushan, and Xiaogushan. They were wiped out by Xiao Tang, and even though they had abandoned the village and moved away long ago, the officers and soldiers from Dengzhou and even several state military divisions around Jingnan Road still did not dare to take a serious look at Xiao Xiao gathered in Baihe Water Village. A green forest army.
Wei Zhaode, Zhang Jingzu, Liu Ti, and Han Kai were now considered a group of well-known gangsters under the rule of South Jingxi Road. They did not expect that a few years later, Xiao Tang would send his subordinates to talk to them. At this time, Wei Zhaode, a man with a big horse and a golden sword, was sitting at the head of the hall in the village. His face was gloomy, and he stared straight at the three willows in front of him, his black beard, and Zhang Shun, who was as white as snow. He suddenly grinned. He smiled and said: "Back then, Mr. Wei thought that Xiao Renxia, as the pacifier of South Beijing Road, was specifically trying to deal with people like us in the green forest, so he was wary of him. But now he has exposed himself as a man who was doing things in the green forest and started to rise up. , are you here to get our brothers to join your gang again?"
After listening to Wei Zhaode's serious question, Zhang Shun smiled calmly, looked around at the leaders present, and said: "My brother recruited Xi Sheng, Teng Si, and Teng Kan back then to gather together for the cause of justice. Although they also wanted to come I respectfully invited Chief Wei to go up the mountain with the heroes in the village. Because of his status as an official, he didn’t know how to do it, so he missed it. Now that he has taught the world about his grand plan of doing things in the green forest, he asked Wei to come forward again. The leader and several heroes have joined the group together. If we don’t give up and return to the stronghold together, we will be very lucky.”
"Xiao Renxia did not act as a good official in the court, but instigated all the powerful people to go against the emperor. Even if we brothers heard about such a big thing, we couldn't help but be dumbfounded. And he was willing to bear the blood for the sake of his sworn brothers. He had a similar relationship and openly broke with the imperial court... To be honest, our brothers admire him endlessly and all praise him as a hero with profound loyalty..."
Before Wei Zhaode could say anything, Zhang Jingzu, the leader of the village who was sitting sideways, said this, then looked at Zhang Shun and said with a slightly vigilant expression: "But even if Xiao Renxia is now sincerely trying to win over our brothers.
When a few people join the gang, the ancients would rather be the mouth of a chicken than the queen of an ox. Nowadays, no one in the army dares to harass our Baihe water village. We are not afraid of the sky, the earth, or lawsuits. We can live happily here.
Knowing that when Xiao Renxia was walking in the rivers and lakes under the name of Iron-faced Haechi, many Green Forest comrades fell into his hands... Even if we were willing to join him to join the righteous cause, we were originally in the Green Forest
Aren’t those who beg for food and clothing also subject to constraints? And if we are unwilling to surrender to Xiao Renxia and join the gang, will the heroes of your tribe have to make things difficult for the four of us brothers? "
After hearing this, Zhang Shun shook his head and said with a smile: "But Leader Zhang is overly worried. My brother also knows that when the water is clear, there will be no fish. Most of the people in the green forest are engaged in the business of licking blood from the edge of a knife. That's not the case.
As for those thieves and villains whose methods of torturing good people are too cruel, as long as they are willing to work together for righteousness, Brother Xiaotang will protect himself and not be blamed for the deeds he has done on the road in the past. Naturally, we have also heard about the methods of the heroes of Guizhai.
Later...
I, the mountain brothers, will not use my power to force other green forest comrades to join the gang, but I have something to ask the leaders: Now my brother and the Manichaeism in Jiangnan have started to rebel against the imperial court. It is the time of great crisis.
Whenever heroes who have accomplished something are expected to gather together to conspire for great things, you are still willing to just stick to the water stronghold and do nothing but the activities of water bandits for the rest of your life?"
As soon as Zhang Shun said this, he immediately taught Wei Zhaode, Zhang Jingzu, Liu Ti, and Han Kai to think about it. Now, in terms of the strength of Baihe Water Village, it is only more than defensive but not aggressive enough. Anyone who wants to rely on it
If a man with all the skills to survive in the world had no other choice, who would want to live his entire life as a green-forest gangster who was arrested by law and had to occupy a place in the state capital to survive?
It’s no wonder that Xi Sheng, Teng Xun, Teng Kan and other local comrades in the green forest were all willing to surrender to Xiao Tang before he publicly took action... Wei Zhaode thought secretly in his heart and added: If this...
It is true what he said, Xiao Renxia was indeed very courageous, and took advantage of the turmoil in the Liao Dynasty to occupy several islands and military states. Xi Sheng, Teng Xu, and Teng Kan led their troops and horses.
What difference does it make if I surrender to him and now dominate one side or to dominate another side? If I decide to lead my brothers to join Xiao Renxia Juyi, according to his arrangement, I can compete with the Song Dynasty for the world. Now there is Fang La on the other side of the Yangtze River.
The leader of Manichaeism has swept across the southeast. Now that the current situation is like this, it is not impossible to achieve something. If you retreat, you can occupy a place outside of Huahua and dominate. The time is not waiting for me and the opportunity cannot be missed... If I hesitate again,
Just trying to control the safety of Baihe Water Village, how can you and your brothers succeed in this life?
Wei Zhaode also has a typical Green Forest thinking. On the one hand, he has to weigh the cost of defecting to Xiao Tang to do big things, and what huge profits he can make for himself. At the same time, because his reputation on the Green Forest Road is already
In order to protect Wu Song's life, Xiao Tang respected him deeply for his righteous deed that was very consistent with the values of people in the world. After some careful consideration, Wei Zhaode already had an idea in his mind, and when he
He then turned his attention to the three brothers Zhang Jingzu, Liu Ti, and Han Kai who were present. After exchanging glances with each other, Wei Zhaode could roughly understand what the three of them meant.
Wei Zhaode, who was looking a little gloomy, suddenly laughed loudly, put on a very heroic look and said to Zhang Shun: "Wei heard that brother Zhang Shun can walk in the water like a piece of white paper, and he is also good at martial arts." , Wei Mou was really impressed by the skill he showed when he found the village just now! None of my brothers, who falsely claim to be heroes on the water, can match the skills of Xun Shui! Brother Zhang Shun Since we have been ordered by Xiao Renxia to come to our village to discuss important matters, and we are honored by the distinguished guests, how can we not treat them well? Come on, people! Why don't you quickly kill the sheep and pigs, and buy wine and food? We should prepare a banquet. , have a few drinks with the heroes under Xiao Renxia’s command! Thanks to brothers Xiao Renxia and Zhang Shun, they think highly of my brothers in the village. If there is anything else important, let’s have a drink and discuss it in detail at the banquet!”
As soon as his brother spoke, Zhang Jingzu, Liu Ti, and Han Kai all had smiles on their faces, and they stepped forward to get close to Zhang Shun. Seeing the four leaders in Baihe Water Village doing this, As expected, Zhang Shun returned the favor one by one, chatting and chatting with each other, as if they were green forest comrades who had long been friends with each other. Zhang Shun could probably tell that Wei Zhaode had made up his mind, and he was thinking to himself. Said: Finally, I have lived up to the trust of brother Xiaotang. In addition to me and Brother Zhang Rong, the three heroes of the Ruan family and the Silongs of Zhejiang, there are now four strong bandit leaders who are good at water in Baihe Water Village. Going to invest will also strengthen the navy's momentum...
