Let us also say that Xiao Tang and others marched day and night as the vanguard and entered Hedong. Because Zhang Diji's southern army had green forest bandits from Longde Prefecture in Hedong who were familiar with the terrain, they bypassed Huguan from Baodu Mountain and Funiu Mountain, and went to Shangdang and other tribes. The rogue bandits pointed directly at Tongdan County, where the Weisheng Army was located, adjacent to Longde Prefecture.
At this time, we were in a village town near Guandao in Tongtian County, surrounded by green trees. There were countless cattle and sheep in the farmland, and farmers on the wheat field chatted in small groups. It was a peaceful and peaceful scene.
"Hey, wait a minute, let me help you." Two young men in their early twenties carefully supported an old woman in Xiangjia's farmhouse. What was strange was that the two young men were wearing buns, yellow hats, and hemp shoes. He is dressed as a deputy Taoist boy.
The old woman walked and said, "Oh, I'm old and have bad health. I'll be content with having children to support me. But I'm dragging you down to make you miserable."
One of the Taoist boys said with a smile: "What are you talking about? Master taught us brothers the skills, and since she is master's mother, isn't it our duty to honor her?"
Another Taoist boy also echoed: "Yes, if we hadn't met the master, we brothers would have been bullied by the gangsters in the village. Fortunately, the master often stood up for us, so that we brothers could live a decent life." ."
After hearing this, the old woman lamented and said: "My son has a too bad temper, otherwise he would have been sued for his life, causing us and my mother to flee all the way from Jingyuan to this Weisheng Army and live a miserable life." A day of fear?"
Hearing what the old woman said, it was difficult for the two Taoist boys to answer the question. Just as they turned around and said a few more words, they heard the sound of a horse neighing, followed by the noise of people. , suddenly broke the tranquility of Zhuang Town.
"Run away!", "There are thieves coming to rob the village!" Amidst the shouts one after another, the Taoist boy saw a group of villagers fleeing in panic. Suddenly, he saw a large number of thieves gathered together, and the sound of killing was loud and powerful. The two Taoist boys were stunned to see how many people there were. Normally, even if there were strong men from the green forest plundering them, there would only be three to five hundred people at most, but the momentum in front of them was astonishing. There were at least several thousand people!
However, in a moment, nearly a hundred mutilated corpses were lying on the ground. They were all villagers who could not escape and were killed by the thieves. The pools of bright red blood on the ground were particularly dazzling, which also foreshadowed the fate of this village. destiny.
More than ten miles away to the west, Zhang Di stood on a hill, and the bandits held him in the middle like stars holding the moon. Li Tianxi, the leader of the southern Hebei army, stood up and reported to Zhang Di: "Leader Zhang, we are not far away from here. Far away is Tongda Mountain. After plundering a few villages and towns and collecting enough money and food, we can deal with the army."
Zhang Di nodded solemnly. The southern part of Hedong Road was more uneven than the Hebei and Hebei roads. Mingzhou was bordered by Damingfu, a famous city in the Song Dynasty. If the army was surrounded on all sides, it would be difficult to fight with the strength at hand. However, the southern Hebei army was not The Shaoqiang men were all gathering grass on Hedong Road, and Li Tianxi knew the Weishengjun Tongtian County area very well. It would be difficult to escape any further, so let's have a showdown here!
Zhang Di glanced around and saw Bian Xiang not far to the right with a frosty face and an angry expression. Along the way, Bian Xiang had already had conflicts with many thieves because of the indiscriminate killings by strongmen from other strongholds during the plundering of villages along the way. , If Zhang Di hadn’t spoken out and suppressed him, I’m afraid we would have fought each other long ago.
This Bian Xiang... you can use him for a while, but sooner or later he will be a disaster! Zhang Di also remembered that Bian Xiang returned to protect the Han family's descendants in Xiangzhou in Anyang City's Zhoujin Hall, but did not retaliate against him. Zhang Di He is also well aware of the nature and principles of people like Bian Xiang, but in his opinion, this is nothing more than being a bitch and building a memorial arch.
Green forests and grass fall, killing people lick their blood. Either they gather together to rob homes and houses, or they are like Huang Chao and other people who frighten the world. Killing one person is a sin, killing ten thousand people is a hero, and killing millions is a hero among heroes! It seems like you are rebelling. The imperial court also prides itself on being a chivalrous man who commits a heinous crime and shows disdain for his fellow Jianghu comrades. What else is it if he is not seeking death?
But now we still need to rely on your ability to fight against the government and the army. Even if you don't die in the hands of the government, I can only blame you for sending you on your way.

Hundreds of thieves on horseback had rushed into the village. They were hissing and waving their sabers frequently. Suddenly, dozens of villagers fell into a pool of blood. When the two Taoist boys saw it, they hurriedly carried the frightened old woman on her back. Run north.
How could the foot strength of the Taoist boy carrying the old woman compare to the galloping horse under the thief's crotch? A thief caught up with his horse, stabbed out a spear, and stabbed the old woman behind the Taoist boy.
When the other Taoist boy saw the tiger, he roared, went up to the thief, grabbed the gun barrel with both hands, and pulled him off the horse. Before the thief could recover, the Taoist boy had already pulled out the steel knife from his waist and started again. Kill the thief with one slash of his knife.
The other thieves screamed and cursed when they saw it, and rushed towards the Taoist boy. Years of robbing homes, killing people and setting fires had already made this group of thieves extremely cold-blooded and cruel. Seeing that there were still people in the village who dared to resist, they must kill this blind man. Chopped with random knives!
The Taoist boy brandished his steel knife and just blocked the first horse thief's sword, and then avoided the second horse thief's hammer. However, he could no longer stop the third horse thief and knocked him down with a shot. Then countless thieves drove him away. The horse stepped over the boy with its hoofs raised, and immediately shattered the bones that the boy stepped on, leaving a bloody mess!!
"Brother!" The Taoist boy carrying the old woman's eyes were bloodshot and he screamed wildly. At this time, the ferocious thief was also rushing towards him.
Suddenly, a group of figures seemed to fall from the sky, rushed in front of a thief, kicked out and kicked the thief off his horse. The thief who came next shouted and slashed with his knife, shouting to himself: "Where is it?" Here comes the bull nose again, seeking death!"
"Get out of here, Taoist!" It turned out that the Taoist who suddenly came out was a Taoist with a soap-edged crane cloak. Seeing that the Taoist was not dodging, he grabbed the thief's long knife by the handle with his backhand, and then swung it hard. , causing the thief's body to escape from the saddle, fly a long way and then fall heavily to the ground.
The Taoist rushed up, pulled out the ancient iron sword from behind, and stabbed the thief to death with one sword. Seeing his disciple Tao Tong being trampled to death by a group of thieves on horseback, the Taoist was furious and cursed: "Thief!" You guys!! Kill my disciples! I, Qiao Daoqing, will teach you all to die in exchange for my disciples’ lives!!”
It turned out that Qiao Daoqing beat a state treasurer to death, and fled home with his mother. They changed their names and surnames and lived in seclusion here. Later, his friend Sun An, a dragon slayer from the same hometown, avenged his father and was also involved in a life-threatening lawsuit. He abandoned his home and fled to the rivers and lakes. .It was because Ma Ling was looking for revenge against Xiao Tang. After Qiao Daoqing said goodbye to Xiao Tang, he returned to Zhuang Town near Tongdi County with Sun An, who was traveling around.
"Master...Xue Can, he..." Fei Zhen, the Taoist disciple whom Qiao Daoqing accepted, said to Qiao Daoqing in a choked voice, carrying the old woman on his back.
"Stop talking nonsense! Take my mother out of here first, I will stop these thieves!" Qiao Daoqing shouted angrily, but he saw hundreds of horse thieves and countless thieves coming in a steady stream. Even if he had the ability, he could How can one resist it on his own?
----------------------------------
Two chapters of more than 5,000 words were originally coded, but they were all deleted and rewritten because they related to the place where the hero Yue Fei grew up in his childhood. Although the biography of Yue Quan states that when Yue Fei's hometown was hit by a flood, his father Yue He was killed, and Yue Fei's mother and son hid in the water. It drifted all the way to Qilin Village in Neihuang County, Daming Prefecture, Hebei Province. According to historical facts, Yue He died in the fourth year of Xuanhe (1122), and Yue Fei returned to his hometown to observe his filial piety.
"The Biography of Yue Fei in the History of the Song Dynasty" only records: "Yue Fei, courtesy name Pengju, was born in Tangyin, Xiangzhou. He was a farmer all his life. His father was a harmonious man who was able to live a diet to relieve the hungry. Those who cultivated his land invaded it and cut it off, so that he could use his wealth. He is not responsible for compensation. When Fei was born, a large bird like a swan flew above the house, so he thought it was named after him. Before the moon was over, the river turned yellow, and the water came violently. His mother, Yao, took Fei and sat in an urn, so that the waves could not reach the shore. People are different." There is no mention of drifting to Daming Mansion, so the original plot is that this chapter will meet the young Yue Wumu in Tangyin County.
But later, considering that the saying that Yue Fei was born in Tangyin and grew up in Neihuang was widely circulated, this familiar hero must be treated with rigor. Therefore, it was decided to amend and delete the already written content and recode it. Neihuang County is within the territory of Daming Prefecture, so the plot is abbreviated It can be continued after making adjustments, and the plot of Yue Fei's return to Tangyin and his father Yue will be added in the follow-up. However, it was originally released today, and the progress of the planned three chapters was greatly affected.
So I stayed up late on the first day of 2017.
After catching up on a few hours of sleep, I will have a review and two chapters updated before midnight today. Thank you.
