After the disastrous defeat of the imperial army in the Xiaotang campaign, the imperial court seemed to have temporarily ceased its activities. It only sent orders to the military prefectures under the rule of Jingdong Road to guard their own city walls. If there was any trouble at Erlong Mountain in Qingzhou or Liangshanbo in Jeju, then
Immediately send the postal officer Pegasus to report to the imperial court as soon as possible.
Hou Meng, a courtier who originally advocated the recruitment of Song Jiang in Liangshan and was about to be transferred to Dongping Prefecture to serve as the prefect to consider annihilating all the rebels in Shandong territory, fell ill and died before he took office (historical records indicate that Song Jiang invaded Jingdong, and Hou Meng wrote a letter to Qing.
When banditry broke out in the river, it was better to pardon the river and ask Fangla to redeem himself. The emperor then ordered Hou Meng to know Dongping Mansion. However, Hou Meng died before going there at the age of sixty-eight. He presented it as a gift to Kaifu Yitong Sansi (posthumous title: Wen Mu), Jingdong Road.
The only one in the military prefectures under the rule that could pose a certain threat to the Green Forest Village under Xiaotang's control was Zhang Shuye's army in Jeju. However, fearing the strong opposition from various villages, Zhang Shuye could only stick to the gate.
And unable to conquer.
On the other hand, Xiao Tang's heroes defeated the official army, and their morale was even higher. Now that the duties of the leaders of the various departments have been decided, the leader of the capital, Wang Jin, supervises the horse, infantry, and navy troops to practice fighting. Li Zhi took care of it carefully, and in
At Sanguan, a gate was built, and the chiefs were assigned to guard it. Admiral Tang Long also made various weapons and iron leaf armor, and Hou Jian was in charge of making cheongsam clothes with yellow yue and white jade, and red tassels and soap covers...
.The leaders all performed their duties, and in their free time they took turns cooking banquets, drinking wine from large bowls, and eating large pieces of meat. It was no problem.
Until another man came down to Liangshan, and the village became more lively.
"What a Liangshan park, with good mountains and good water! In terms of vast terrain and abundant trees and plants, it is indeed much better than Erlongshan Dazhai. Brother Xiaotang has also recruited many green forest heroes, and this territory can support many soldiers and horses.
."
Jin Ding and Huang Yue were originally from Zanhuang Mountain in Zhaozhou, Hebei Road. Because they had known each other for a long time, the two leaders were inseparable from each other.
Two Song generals with the same name were nicknamed each other. Now the two brothers looked at each other and looked at the man in front of them who was playing in Liangshan Village and marveling at him from time to time. They all thought in their hearts that this was what Brother Xiao Tang meant.
The appointed general of the Hengchong Army taught us two brothers to serve as assistant generals. He was born in the Western Army and was called the leader of the "Pohan Five"?
Originally, among the several green forest bandits from Hebei Road who came to join Xiaotang Juyi, Zhaozhou Zanhuangshan Road and the green forest bandits from Dingzhou Qingxichuan and Hejian Prefecture's Baiyangdian were equally powerful. Although they had gotten along well when fighting each other in the rivers and lakes, they
There is also a vague sense of competition between them.
Now Sun Qi's group in Qingxichuan, Dingzhou, has been transferred to Niu Gao's cavalry army, which was famous for killing Bianting, as partial generals. The three leaders including Yunzong Wu and Baiyangdian in Hejian Prefecture have been transferred to the Zhu family.
Zhuang was born as a teacher, and served as a general of the Polu Army under Luan Tingyu, who was also well-known in the Jingdong Road area. Jin Ding and Huang Yue wanted to compete with their colleagues from Hebei Green Forest, but the heroes in the village decided on their duties.
On this occasion, the general of the Hengchong Army was not in the Juyi Hall to take orders and was temporarily suspended. Jin Ding and Huang Yue were naturally very curious about Han Shizhong. Before they arrived at Liangshanbo, they often thought about what this Po Han Wu was.
People too.
Niu Gao had followed brother Xiao Tang in officialdom and made many military exploits. He was also a fierce general who fought bravely in the Song and Xia attacks and broke out from the blood sea of the mountain of corpses. Although Luan Tingyu had previously been hostile to the green forest heroes under brother Xiao Tang,
However, he is highly skilled in martial arts and is quite famous. He is also a powerful general in the frontier army. He is a fellow disciple of Sun Li who taught bandits to surrender in Dengzhou and other coastal areas. He is also the leader of two groups of bandits in Baiyangdian, Hejian Prefecture and Qingxichuan, Dingzhou.
He was thrown into the tent of two brave generals and obeyed their orders. It was expected that they would be able to show their talents.
However, although this Han Shizhong was from the Western Army in Bianting, he was only the leader of a horse army when he joined brother Xiao Tang. At the beginning, he could only command a hundred horse soldiers at most, not to mention that he was called the "Pohan Five" It is conceivable that he is not a well-known general in the Forbidden Army... At first, Jin Ding and Huang Yue thought about Han Shizhong's origins, and they couldn't help but sneer in their hearts. Until Xiao Tang mentioned that the five powers of Han Dynasty had a bad personality due to their personality. , he was not favored by his superiors in the army, but when he was one of the ten generals, he was so jealous that he only rushed into the city wall, chopped off the head of the general of the Xia army, and led the soldiers to rush into the formation and kill him. Jin Ding and Huang Yue were speechless at the fierce performance of the enemy chief and the consort of the army, and they couldn't help but admire them.
At this time, Han Shizhong turned around and smiled at Jin Ding and Huang Yue and said: "I have paid a visit to brother Xiao Tang first, and I couldn't even enjoy myself after eating a few bowls. Just as we were going to reminisce with Lu Tiha and Wu Dutou, how about our brothers?" No matter how happy you are, you can have a lot of fun. It's just that Lu Tiha and Wu Du are so worried about arranging flowers. How many games can you two play with money?
Zhi Niang was a thief. When the Sa family was in Liaodong, they made a lot of money with Yuan Lang and Yuan. However, it was also unlucky. They lost a lot of money in gambling and paid off their gambling debts. They lost two or three months. With all the money I spent on drinks, now that I have come here to Liangshan, I want to get some good luck to counteract the bad luck!"
Jin Ding and Huang Yue couldn't help laughing when they saw this. Among them, Jin Ding should co-author Han Shizhong and said: "Brothers Lu and Wu should be supervising the training of the mad devils by the waterside of Jinshatan Beach. The soldiers of the two armies are practicing. You can find them when you go down the mountain. I see. If my elder brother is interested, my younger brother should also accompany me..."
Before Jin Ding could finish his words, Han Shizhong waved his big hand and said: "Since brother Xiao Tang has been transferred to teach me, Han Wu, and you two brothers will be in charge of the army together, they are our own brothers, so don't forget to see me outside! The Sa family is People who are straight-forward cannot bear to be polite to others. In the army, we are all brothers who trust each other with their lives. Isn't it right to fight and risk their lives together? It's just that our villages don't have barracks for prostitutes according to the law. , it’s not like when you’re in the North, you can still find some wives to play with.”
Xiao Tang knew that Han Shizhong was very brave and heroic, but he was not a saint. Not only was he addicted to alcohol and arrogance, but if he could restrain himself, he would not have the evil habit of teaching the wives and daughters of his subordinates, generals, and daughters to persuade them to drink, as recorded in official history. It was rare, but his life style was still fierce, and when he taught Jin Ding, Huang Yue could not help but murmur in his heart, secretly saying: Han Shizhong and the two brothers Lu Zhishen and Wu Song, the leading heroes in the infantry, used to have a close friendship, and birds of a feather flock together. It is said that it is true. He should be an extravagant person. I heard that when he conquered Zengtou City, with his ability to fight on horseback, he actually fought with the bloody brave Shi Wengong to a close in a matter of seconds. Being able to serve as a deputy general under him is not a big deal. I have humiliated our two brothers, but...
This Han Shizhong has a bold temperament. He was familiar with the two of them when he was introduced by Brother Xiao Tang in Juyi Hall. Although he is from the frontier army, he can get along with us in the green forest and grass. But just now in Juyi Hall During the visit in the charity hall, this Po Han Wu was laughing and joking, causing Brother Xiao Tang to shake his head and laugh. Now as he comes down the road, this Po Han Wu only cares about public affairs and money, and even the amorous feelings of the ladies from all over the north. Tiao Tiao... Although he has a naughty temperament and is easy to get along with among the people in the green forest, looking at his words and deeds now, he looks like a ruffian in the army.
Even Jin Ding and Huang Yue, the two strong bandit leaders who were used to being unruly and at ease when they were fighting in the green forest, felt a little out of place when they saw Han Shizhong. Han Shizhong, who was unaware, only talked and joked with the two of them. He was treated badly.
When I walked out of Wanzi City, I happened to look at a tall, beautiful woman with heroic eyebrows walking out of the west side room.
Han Shizhong's eyes suddenly focused. He also had a generous temper, and immediately laughed loudly: "I heard that brother Xiao Tang took in several wives and concubines. It seems that they were all settled in the back house of the east room of Juyi Hall. That wife
I have never seen the Sa family before, Zhe Mo is the wife of a brother who has recently joined the village, so she is very lucky!"
