Chapter 1355 Another vote for Mingzhu, Gongming brother, I have done my best to be righteous
Xiao Tang remembered that according to Yue Fei's trajectory, members of the Zhang, Tang, and Wang families also died one after another after they decided to move back to Tangyin County with Yue Fei. Wang Gui and others had no restraint, so they instigated Shi Quan and others.
They were doing some cutting activities, but when Yue Fei found out about it, they immediately scolded him and broke up with everyone. However, when the Jin soldiers invaded the country, these brothers would still work together to defend their homeland.
And Wang Gui, who had probably learned Yue Fei's temper through many years of getting along with him, just laughed and said: "Brother Xiao Tang, how come you don't know that brother Yue Fei is stubborn and he has his own reasons? But although I
I have always respected my brother Yue Fei, and even though we have the intention to make contributions, but the court officials are treacherous and secretive, I am afraid that being scolded is a small thing, but losing one's life and being disgraced is a big deal! Just like my brother is a second-rank official in the court,
He secretly rescued many desperate heroes, controlled several green forest villages, and never harmed good people. No matter whether he had no fault in the official world, he was subject to the plot of the traitors in the court, and it was just right to rebel against his mother.
Although brother Yue Fei is determined to be loyal to the imperial court, it seems that he must become an enemy of his brother Xie, but even if he wants to surrender to the army, there is no human support. When will he be able to get ahead? There is no chance for him to be with his brother Xie even if he thinks about it.
He turned against me on the battlefield, and he said that he would no longer be friends with me, but I still regard him as my elder brother. No one can persuade him now, but with Brother Yue Fei's attitude
Stubborn, after surrendering to the army, I am afraid that I will hit a wall and be hindered, and I will be more criticized by traitors. Sooner or later, I will lose heart in submitting to the army. We will discuss it later."
Xiao Tangxin said that this is really something Wang Gui can do. His temperament is more inclined to be passionate and impulsive, and he is still young. Even if he still doesn't know the most important reason for his rebellion, Wang Gui is not afraid of joining the green forest and having fun.
On the other hand, Yue Fei sometimes seems to be too serious in terms of principles and emotions. Once the principles he upholds in his heart conflict with his sworn brothers, he will immediately fall out and break up.
It's just that Yue Fei was the one who endured the pain of breaking off his brother's relationship with Yue Li's righteous words, but it was still him who was secretly sad and uncomfortable. Wang Gui, who was heartless at the time, just thought that he didn't care about so many things, and wanted to
Now, to be reasonable... Xiao Juluochao was still in high spirits, and he did not completely break off friendship with Yue Fei just because he broke off friendship with him. When Yue Fei needed help, he immediately went to help him without saying a word.
.
However, Xiao Tangxin said that the current trajectory is slightly different. Zhang Xian and Tang Huai must have thought that Fei was the only one left among their sworn brothers and couldn't bear it, so they still followed him, not like Wang.
Gui immediately came to join him and join the gang to gather justice.
After Xiao Tang thought in his mind, he asked Wang Gui: "How did my brother Yue Fei talk about this matter after he heard that I was the iron-faced Xie Zhi Quan Yu who commanded the green forest mountains and had raised his flag to rebel against the imperial court?
?”
Wang Guijian looked a little embarrassed when he said that. He scratched his head and said hesitantly: "Since I know Brother Yue Fei's temperament very well, just like what he said in his mouth, we will sever ties with me, but I know that I can't do anything.
Even if Brother Yue Fei said something about justice and no selfishness, there is no need for Brother Xiao Tang to take it to heart."
Xiao Tang nodded and sighed in his heart that Yue Fei was indeed the same Yue Fei. Then Wang Gui mentioned that Shi Quan, Zhao Yun, Liang Xing, and Ji Qing had left Tangyin County in Xiangzhou with him, and they immediately decided to win over each other. The soldiers and horses from the old army who came to Hongluo Mountain came to join Xiao Tang and join the rebellion. However, it happened that Gao Qiu was leading the imperial army to conquer Shuibo Liangshan, Erlongshan and other large villages. There were also patrols and checks by officers and soldiers at the border of Jingdong Road. , leading hundreds of men and horses to pass by rashly during the war, I am afraid that before they reach Shuibo Liangshan, they are in danger of being discovered and wiped out by the army.
What's more, Shi Quan and the other four had no old acquaintances among the leaders under Xiao Tang, and no one recommended them. However, Wang Gui had a close friendship with Xiao Tang, so he came to Liangshanbo first. It is safer to explain your intention.
Now that Gao Qiu has been killed, all the officers and soldiers who came to conquer have also been killed and dispersed. In addition to still having to watch out for Zhang Shuye's troops in Jezhou, allocate people to go to relieve Shi Quan, Zhao Yun, Liang Xing, and Ji Qing. If he led his troops to surrender, there should be no more problems. Xiao Tang immediately ordered Niu Gao, Lu Fang, Guo Sheng and other horse army leaders to lead their troops and Wang Gui to the junction of Hebei Road and Jingdong Road to pick up Shi Quan. Waiting for a group of people; Shi Qian, Lehe, Sun Xin, and Sister-in-law Gu also followed Xiao Tang's instructions and sent people to Bianliang, Tokyo, to pick up the families of Xiangyuan Town and other Jiedu envoys to reunite in the village...
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
"Originally, I followed Brother Song Jiang to become the enemy of Xiao Renxia. Since I fell into the hands of the heroes of Guizhai, they wanted to take my life, so I had nothing to say. But Xiao Renxia spared my life and treated me with all kinds of courtesy. But the more I In this way, I feel more and more ashamed..."
While Niugao, Wang Gui, Shi Qian, Lehe and others were going down the mountain separately according to General Xiao Tang's orders, Li Yun, the blue-eyed tiger temporarily settled in the village, took the initiative to find him and paid homage to him, and sighed to Xiao Tang. .
Xiao Tang knew that Li Yun was not from Lulin Road, and he had previously killed Zhu Gui, the brother of his apprentice Zhu Fu. Although he had a fierce battle with Song Jiang not long ago, he did not find that person who was not good at fighting in the formation. The smiling tiger, but Li Yun must have known about the grudge between his disciple and Xiao Tang.
Li Yun followed Song Jiang to accept the recruitment, just hoping to return his innocent identity. Now that Song Jiang no longer poses any threat to him, Xiao Tang will naturally not embarrass Li Yun, so he said: "Li Dutou can be relieved. Yes, your conscientious and conscientious patrol officer in the county government will definitely not fall into the trap of being a bandit unless he has no choice. To be honest, I also hope that Li Dutou will be willing to join us and other brothers in the cause of justice. Of course, it also depends on you. How to plan, I wonder what Li Dutou wants?"
Li Yun seemed to have made up his mind before, and immediately pushed the gold mountain and poured the jade pillar to Xiao Tang and bowed: "The imperial court had only pardoned Li for dereliction of duty, and this time he had no choice but to come to offend Xiao Renxia and other people." The heroes of the village did not build even half a meter, but they were still held accountable by the court for their defeat. Yishui County Yamen could no longer return, and they had no ties to their wives, children, and children. And Li had admired Xiao Ren's heroic reputation for a long time, so he knew him No matter what happens, I am so grateful for your kindness that I can only repay it by surrendering to Xiao Renxia and doing my best to die!"...
Hu Jun, Hu Xian, Du Qian, Song Wan, and Li Yun have all agreed to surrender to Xiao Tang. Yang Xiong and Lei Heng, the two infantry leaders who originally turned to Song Jiang, now know very well that if they expect to work hard for the court, they may still He had to let the traitors in the DPRK deal with him. Moreover, Song Jiang still had a life left and did not die at the hands of Xiao Tang. Therefore, even if he surrendered like Li Yun and others, it would not be considered as breaking the loyalty of the world.
Nowadays, Song Gongming's brother, who is still obsessively loyal to the Song Dynasty and whose future may still be in danger, has been completely benevolent. Yang Xiong and Lei Heng saw that Xiao Tang also wanted to recruit the two of them, so they followed the trend and went to accept them. I wish to express my willingness to return to Liangshanbo and become a leader.
Xiao Tang also tried to appease the two of them with good words. Yang Xiong was very skilled in martial arts, but although he lacked independent opinions and had a soft ear, he was not a stubborn or evil person. As for the winged tiger Lei Heng... although he had a little heart. Bian is narrow, but he is a very righteous person. However, as a county government agent, he also secretly opened a dormitory and killed cattle for gambling. He also arrested Liu Tang rashly and later took away Chao Gai's filial piety. The reason why he killed Bai Xiuying in anger because his mother was humiliated was because he refused to pay for singing songs. Therefore, there are many opinions in later generations that criticized this tiger with wings as a cruel and evil official who ran rampant in the countryside and preyed on the people.
However, these comments are also overkill and a bit over the top.
At that time, Lei Heng captured Liu Tang, who indeed looked like a thief, because of his position as the head of the county government at that time. Liu Tang was originally going to find Chao Gai to get the birth date, so he took the suspicious person and took him back to the government office for questioning. It’s not like he caught the wrong person; Chao Gai offered 10 taels as filial piety, but Lei Heng refused to accept it, but Chao Gai still wanted to do favors and persisted before he accepted it; and Lei Heng was asked to listen to music halfway, and at that time When Bai Xiuying asked for a reward, his actions clearly indicated that he was looking into his own pocket, and then he realized that there was no money. Later, when Bai Yuxiang and his daughter mocked Lei Heng and became more and more harsh, Lei Heng's answers were: "I forgot today, so I didn't bring it out, so I'll reward you with it tomorrow." "I didn't bring it out for a while, just because I couldn't bear it." "I rewarded you with three or five taels of silver. It doesn't matter, but I regret that I forgot to bring it out today." "Come here", "Why am I not in the know?"... How does this look like the reaction of a bully who is used to taking cards?
At that time, Lei Heng did not know that Bai Xiuying was the mistress of the new county magistrate, but Bai Xiuying and his daughter scolded him more and more harshly after learning about Lei Heng's identity. Xiao Tang thought to himself that if he was raped by a man who took advantage of others in public, " If you ignore the rules and curse like "horns on a dog's head", "an oxman in Sanjia Village (a humble servant in an unknown village)", and "donkey tendon", I'm afraid you won't be able to help but get angry and take action, not to mention someone like him. Lei Heng doesn’t have a good temper to begin with?
Therefore, according to Xiao Tang's thinking, although Lei Heng's hands and feet were not clean when he was the head of the capital, and he used power for personal gain, he was still somewhat measured, and he was not the kind of evil official who went too far to harm the people. Although he was a little evil, it was far from the level of evil. A point that I cannot tolerate in my heart.
Now the two foot combat masters, Winged Tiger and Bing Guansuo, are willing to come to me to work together for the righteous cause... Xiao Tang secretly thought that he had originally discussed with Xiao Jiasui, Xu Guanzhong and other brothers to reorganize the new army song. , we must teach the leaders who come one after another to perform their duties, and the names of two more infantry leaders will be added to the roster.
