Chapter 1353 Before the reorganization of the villages, the last wave of leaders came to vote
The imperial court mobilized troops and horses, with Gao Qi as the commander-in-chief, and mobilized the army and navy of the capital, west of Beijing, Runing County, Jiangning Prefecture, and even the soldiers and horses of Song Jiang's army who had been recruited to conquer several villages in Liangshanpo and Erlongshan on Jingdong Road, but in the end they were defeated.
The battle ended with most of the troops and horses being killed, and the commander Gao Qiu was also beheaded by Xiao Tang's men. All the troops under Xiao Tang's command rectified the troops, horses and infantry, and returned with gold medals. General An also knocked on the golden stirrups.
, the soldiers at every step sang a song of victory in unison, and returned one after another towards the direction of Shui Bo Liang Mountain.
As for Gao Qiu's head, Xiao Tang ordered the leader to dip it in lime powder, wrap it up, and put it in a wooden box for safekeeping.
He did not harm loyal ministers and martyrs, but when he used troops against traitors like Gao Qiu who brought disaster to the country in the future, Zhe Mo would also have the opportunity to hang his head on a high pole to show the public.
After this great victory, the surrounding government officials were even more frightened, and they would never dare to send troops without authorization to seek death. As for Jeju Zhang Shuye and the remnants of Song Jiang who had been rescued and fled into the city, they seemed to be aware of the outcome of the war.
The gathering was a foregone conclusion, and they all stopped their flags and drums, guarding the city, and did not act rashly.
The three armies made a mighty triumph, and there were no more twists and turns on the way back to the stronghold. The leading troops had arrived not far from the wine shop at the entrance of Lijia Road on the edge of Shuibo Liang Mountain. And now the two men were in charge of the wine shop and were keeping an eye on Dazhai to check for any news.
The leaders are Zhang Ren and Li Yi who were transferred here from Erlong Mountain. They are also busy these days.
During these days, thieves from the green forests in Hebei, Gyeonggi, and western Beijing came to Qingzhou's Erlong Mountain Dazhai. Zhang Ren and Li Yi, who were greeting guests in front of the mountain and inquiring about the news, were no longer in a hurry. Then there was Xiao again.
When Tang Zai led his army to win great victories against the troops led by Liu Menglong, Hu Yanzhuo, Song Jiang and Gao Qiu, Zhang Ren, Li Yi and the waiters in the wine shop took over the Li Daokou wine shop and were busy for a period of time.
Afterwards, when they heard the news that the imperial army had been killed and dispersed, they also cheered. While waiting for the brothers to lead their troops back to Shuibo Liangshan, they also thought they could rest for a while.
Estimating the time, the troops and horses from Zhemo tribe should also arrive at the bank of Liangshan Mountain. Zhang Ren and Li Yi suddenly heard the rapid sound of horse hooves outside the shop. They originally thought that the troops and horses from the front had arrived at the entrance of Lijia Road, so they hurriedly
They came out to greet him, but they only saw a strong young man in red clothes and armor rushing towards him, and in a moment he had arrived at the door of the wine shop.
Zhang Ren and Li Yi saw that the young man not only had a red face, but also wore a red scarf on his head, a fiery red war robe over a suit of armor, a red waistcoat, red tie sleeves, a red gold soft belt around his waist, and a red gold belt under his feet.
The appearance of the golden satin boots made the whole body either flaming red or the golden color of the flames. He was also riding a fierce red horse, and both the man and the horse looked like charcoal.
And the young man seemed to have an impatient temper. He dismounted neatly, tied the horse on the wooden stake at the door of the store, and ran towards the wine shop with long strides, showing a look of surprise in the process.
Li Yi glanced at Zhang Ren and immediately entered the hotel, found a seat and sat down, then shouted: "Master, please buy a few cents of wine and sell some of the meat you want to eat!"
Seeing the young man knocking on the table with his hand and clamoring for wine and meat, Zhang Ren and Li Yi couldn't help but look at each other and said in their hearts: This is rare! Although the two mountains of Qingzhou have merged into Shuibo Liangshan,
No matter before or after my brother's incident, it was a military order in the village not to cut off merchants who were in their way to plunder, so it was not uncommon for some merchants' carriages to pass by. However, this guy was alone, and looking at his outfit, he didn't seem to be a merchant.
.How could a child from a wealthy family with no eyesight deliberately go to a mountain village where strong men gather to have teeth beaten and sacrificed?
Although soldiers and horses from all walks of life rushed to join Juyi a few days ago, Brother Xiao Tang has been raising the flag of rebellion for some time. No matter where he is, whether it is far or near, there are some famous people on the road who should come. We have arrived. In other places, the powerful and wealthy people who know something powerful dare not come to touch our troubles. However, the officers and soldiers came to harass several cottages on Jingdong Road, and they often sent out sentries everywhere. Even Gao Qiu The soldiers and horses commanded by the old thief have been killed by brother Xiao Tang and were completely defeated. But isn't there Zhang Shuye in Jeju?
This kid... If he didn't come here to join his brother's gang to join the righteousness, he might be a fellow servant who has some connections with the Jeju government office... Zhang Ren and Li Yi remained calm and looked at each other. After taking one look at it, he immediately ordered the waiter in the shop to cut some cooked meat, and then brought it to the seat where the young man in red was sitting. A large plate of meat was laid out, along with several plates of vegetables, and a large bowl was placed to sift some wine. Come and ask him to eat first.
But when the young man saw the meat and wine being served, his eyes seemed to light up, as if he hadn't had any meat for a long time. He just pulled the cooked meat with his hands and dipped it in the garlic sauce to eat, and his posture was like a wind and a lingering cloud. Seeing this, Zhang Ren first winked at Li Yi, and immediately stepped forward to sift the wine for the young man. Then he asked with a smile: "My guest, it is not peaceful around Liangshan in this period. The imperial court mobilized all the armies to attack the bandits in the green forest on the Jingdong Road boundary. The troops were in chaos. I was afraid of being implicated, but I didn't know what they were doing here."
Qingzhuang Jian said, wiping his mouth indiscriminately, and asked straight to the point: "If you want to ask me, let me first ask you how far it is to get to Liangshanbo from here?"
Zhang Ren frowned and immediately replied: "The wine shop here has to go to Liangshan. Although it is only a few miles away, it is a waterway and there is no dry road. If you want to go there, you have to go by boat to get there... However, the guest officer Chao also needs to know that Shuipo Liangshan is the place where strong bandits gather. Xiaotang, the co-director of Green Linshu Mountain who is now in charge of Liangshan Dazhai, has a reputation far better than that of Chao Gai, Song Jiang and others before him. He has many weapons at his disposal. These big insects that cannot be provoked are going to Liangshan Village alone, but what are they doing?"
"I'm used to speaking directly, and I don't have the patience to beat around the bush with you!"
The young man waved his hand impatiently and said: "Although I don't know the ways of Jianghu strongmen, I heard from Shi Quan and Liang Xing that the boys mentioned that there were many spying wine shops around the village of Green Forest Roar. , after crossing the water moor at the Lijia Daokou, we went to Liangshan Mountain on the other side. Isn’t this the place where the village is set up to receive guests from the rivers and lakes? Why don’t you prepare a small boat and run to the moor to the other side, waiting for me to find you? Look at my brother, you guys will know it clearly!"
Neither of them knew the other's details, and although Zhang Ren and Li Yi were very loyal, they were both gangsters from Bianjing, so their appearance and complexion still seemed a bit wretched, which made the young man feel uneasy. Happy; while Zhang Ren and Li Yi made a living by stealing vegetables and gambling for money when they were in Bianjing, and they were often looked down upon and bullied. They were also very unfavorable to this young and strong man who behaved like a domineering and flamboyant young man from a wealthy family. .
Hearing the young man's harsh words, Zhang Ren couldn't help but get a little angry. He also turned his eyes and said to the young man: "Sir, you can't say that. How can you say that my shop is Where are the thieves going? The bandit leaders on Shuibo Liang Mountain all rebelled against the imperial court and were arrested by the government with arrest warrants. Which one is your brother? Do you want to go to Luo Cao to become a thief? You don’t know the rules of the green forest. , but they say that my wine shop is a wine shop set up by gangsters. Little did they know that Chang Hao, who opened a shop on the road, used sweat medicine to numb passersby. You dare to eat the wine and food in my shop! "
"How dare you!"
The young and strong man raised his eyebrows, slapped the table fiercely, and said angrily: "Brother Xiaotang is in charge of several villages in Green Forest, and Junzhou near Enze. Who knows the good reputation that is spread everywhere? Now he has come down to the water in Liangshan.
, under his nose, who would dare to do such a despicable thing as using Menghan medicine to harm people? The brother I want to worship is Xiao Tang and Xiao Renxia. Quickly prepare a ship to ferry me to Liangshan, and take a ride here.
What kind of bird is this?"
Oh, that's weird! Brother Xiao Tang has risen up in rebellion. We have paid homage to the brothers who were sworn brothers in the past and the newly defected bandit leaders, but how come we have never seen a person like you!?
Zhang Ren and Li Yi were even more suspicious when they saw this. It is said that now that Xiao Tang has exposed his identity and started to rise up, all those who are willing to join him in the cause of justice are coming to gather one after another. Even if they were close brothers who followed Xiao Tang in the officialdom, Zhang Ren
He and Li Yi got to know each other when they went to and from restaurants in Erlong Mountain and Shuibo Liangshan. However, this boy was so unfamiliar that he had no idea where he came from.
They were speechless for a while. Just when Zhang Ren and Li Yi were about to make a move, they heard the faint sound of horse hooves outside the store. After hearing this, the two of them immediately left the young man behind and went out to watch with a few of their confidants in the store.
. And the young and anxious man came out in a hurry. In a moment, everyone saw dust flying on the road, and saw a group of soldiers and horses rushing towards them not far away, about two or three thousand riders, led by
The first people to arrive at Liangshan Poside on this journey of light cavalry were Niu Gao, Zhang Qing, Qiong Ying, Ding Desun, Gong Wang and other sentry leaders.
Zhang Ren and Li Yi were delighted when they saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet Niu Gao. When they were about to greet Niu Gao, they glanced at the young man in red who was looking at the door of the wine shop. His expression changed, and he quickly turned over and dismounted.
Instead, he left Zhang Ren and Li Yi aside, and ran to Qingzhuang and asked: "Hey, why are you the kid? Why are you not with Senior Brother Yue, but you came to Liangshan Po on your own?"
