Chapter 1390 Arriving in Baozhou again, the storm is coming
When a large fleet of ships arrived at Pidaohai Town, Xiao Tang first ordered several naval forces to dock and reorganize, and then took a boat to sail to Baozhou Port.
A group of leaders who greeted Xiao Tang had been waiting on the dock for a long time. Among them were the generals of the Hengzhang Army, the leader of the Khitan tribe who nominally occupied Bao, Ding, and Xuanzhou, and the two generals Tianshan Yong and Kou Zhenyuan. , as well as Jiang Jing, Pei Xuan, Sun Ding, Tao Zongwang, and Wu Zhi, the five leaders who were in charge of all matters in the military state, stood at the front of the crowd. Wen Zhongrong and Cui Ye led about a hundred arresters who were appointed from the local assessment. The local people only knew that several princes who were in charge of the local military and civil affairs were going to welcome the nobles, but they did not know that the person coming was Xiao Tang, the real lord behind the military states here.
As soon as the ship on the seashore came into view, Yi Lacheng and others immediately walked down the stone steps and arrived at the pier. After the ship docked, Xiao Tang stepped on it and walked away. The respectful leaders in front of them soon followed. Crowds came over, and Yi Ya Chengdang stepped forward first, saluted and said: "I heard that the Wolf Lord did many earth-shattering things in the Song Dynasty, and actually defeated the road officials led by the traitor named Gao Qiu in the Song Dynasty. Army, Zhi taught me to admire him endlessly, but I couldn't help the Wolf Lord in fighting anymore."
Xiao Tang helped Yi Lacheng up and said: "The Yi Latou people are stationed in several military prefectures here to ensure the stability of hundreds of thousands of people. This is an even more important matter. What's more, you and I will fight side by side again, Zhemo will soon have Opportunity..."
When Xiao Tang's eyes met Sun Ding standing aside, he smiled and said: "Mr. Sun, thanks to your hard work and help during this period, I have been here in Baozhou for a while now. How do you feel?"
Compared with the troubled Kongmu who was living in humiliation on Salmon Island with a look of great suffering and hatred, Sun Ding is now able to live in peace and still be able to show off his talents. Now he looks radiant and full of energy. After hearing Xiao Tang's inquiry, Sun Ding smiled calmly and said: "Back then, I was rescued by Xiao Renxia and settled here for my whole life. Now I can teach me to do my little bit to help the world and calm the people here... It's just Xiao Renxia, the court ...Are we going to join forces with the Jin Dynasty to defeat the Liao Dynasty after all?"
Seeing Xiao Tang nodding slightly, Sun Ding sighed secretly, with a thoughtful expression. Xiao Tang then reminisced and exchanged pleasantries with Jiang Jing, Pei Xuan, Tao Zongwang, Wu Zhi, Tianshan Yong, Kou Zhenyuan and others. Among them, Pei Xuan He followed Xiao Tang and came to Baozhou Tianxiong. Among the generals of the two resolute armies, Deng Fei and Pei Xuan were both leaders from Yinmachuan. They were old acquaintances and brothers, and there was always a lot of chatting between them. And Ou Peng, Ma Lin, Jiang Jing, and Tao Zongwang are all sworn brothers who once stayed in Huangmen Mountain, Jiangzhou. Now the four of them are able to gather together again, talking with open eyes and brows, and they are particularly happy and cheerful. .
Xiao Tang personally handed the family letter written by Wu Song to Wu Zhi, and told him that his brother was safe in Shuibo Liang Village. After talking about it, Xiao Tang did not ride on the horse, but was surrounded by people. He got into a van and prepared to rush to the government office where Wen Huanzhang was staying.
Yi Lacheng, Tianshan Yong, and Kou Zhenyuan were recommended by Xiao Tang and went to greet Ali Qi, who was also from Khitan and Liao. Qiong Yao was delayed. Ali Qi looked Yi La Cheng up and down, and couldn't help but speak out. Asked: "Since you are a Khitan Hengzhangtou, when the Nuzhi tribes and other rebellious ministers and rebels rebelled in Liaodong, why didn't you lead the clan Zhangerlang and the official army to resist those who wanted to rebel against our Liao Dynasty? Thief? It should be noted that the Golden Dog is now powerful, Tokyo Road has almost been destroyed, and the Liao Dynasty is unable to pursue the gains and losses of the military states here. But you led your troops to surrender to Xiao Tang, how could you be willing to help Xiao Tang, who rebelled against the Song Dynasty? The rebel leaders occupy these military states of our Liao Kingdom?"
After hearing this, Yi Lacheng didn't take it seriously, but said to Arich and Qiongyao Nayan: "Two of you, please be careful. Back then, not only was the golden dog powerful and unstoppable, but there was also Gao Yongchang. Ou, Dong Pang'er and other tribes rebelled against the army, and even the Khitan generals such as Yelu Zhangjianu Yelu Shuzhe rebelled. Our soldiers and horses were unable to suppress them. Unfortunately, when we raised a large army to attack, we were defeated at the hands of the Golden Dog. ...I, Tianshan Yong, Kou Zhenyuan and other leaders of the clan had no food and clothing, and had been in poverty for a long time. As a Khitan son, even if I had the intention to bring peace to the country, what about the environment at that time? What's the use of it?
Without the help of the Wolf Lord back then, we don’t know how many tribesmen would have starved to death and frozen to death. We also relied on the Wolf Lord to disperse the Bohai rebels who were causing trouble in Baozhou, and also gathered the suffering refugees from all ethnic groups in Liaodong. The people live here peacefully. If this place is not occupied by the Wolf Lord, sooner or later it will be occupied by the rebels and cause trouble, or it will be taken away by the Koreans. The Liao Dynasty has no regard for us people. Now we and several other tribes The people have a place to live here, and the Wolf Lord dispatches soldiers and horses from all over the world to guard here to resist the golden dogs. Apart from this, do we have any other way out?"
After listening to Yi Lacheng's words, Qiong Yao Nayan and Arich looked at each other, let out a long sigh, and just moved forward in silence without saying anything more to resign and question Yi Lacheng.
Then Xiao Tang arrived in Baozhou with Deng Yuan's army and Wang Yin, the two former Manichean leaders, who were among the generals of Tianxiong and Mad Demon's Second Army. They saw that Xiao Tang was far away. There are many buildings and pavilions in the Northland base area. The streets are bustling with traffic, bustling people, and noisy shops. The local people are enjoying themselves. There are also some captives coming and going to maintain the daily order of the city. In addition to the people wearing all kinds of foreign costumes coming and going , in fact, it is no different from the bustling urban and rural counties and towns in the Song Dynasty.
In less than a year, Manichaeism occupied eight states and twenty-five counties in the south of the Yangtze River. Although Fang La claimed to be the Holy Duke and appointed officials and generals in the military prefectures and counties he occupied, it was Hangzhou. In the prosperous and famous Junzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, once the fanatical religious rebels gain power, they will madly vent their pent-up resentment in the city. Robbery and killings have been happening from time to time. The civil and political governance of the occupied Junzhou has actually been semi-paralyzed. State. Coupled with the Manichaeans' extreme hatred of government officials, most of them they caught, regardless of whether they were good or bad, would be killed to vent their anger. Although they could gain power for a while, there were few capable people who could govern the place and keep the people under control. , so after the disaster, only devastation was left everywhere.
It is said that it is easier to conquer the world than to rule it. Although Shenggong could lead us and other sect brothers to conquer the eight states in the south of the Yangtze River for a while, compared with the orderly management of these border military states on the Liao border by Xiao Tang... I am not familiar with this point. I'm afraid that the Nijiao can't live up to him and help the people...
Deng Yuanjue and Wang Yin both had the same idea, but each remained silent and silently followed Xiao Tang's chariot.
Around the bustling Baozhou Port Lane, there were naturally many people looking curiously at Xiao Tang's car battles, but they couldn't see where the people who moved the heads and other big-headed people who were responsible for the civil affairs and military affairs of the state were so respectfully welcoming. This noble person came because Xiao Tang also sent a document before leaving, instructing the leaders in Baozhou not to make any noise.
In addition to the many leaders appointed by Xiaotang in Pidaohai Town and Baoding, Xuanzhou, even the Kingdom of Jin in the north also looked at the information here, and there was also Goryeo in the south who was eyeing it, and even many local people who came to invest.
The information that the refugees know is that the leader who took advantage of the military chaos to occupy several nearby military states is a Yi Lacheng who was born as the leader of the Hengzhang tribe in the northern part of the Liao Kingdom.
Finally, Xiao Tang and his entourage arrived at the Baozhou government office and walked in surrounded by a crowd. Wen Huanzhang and other leaders also waited for a long time. A large banquet was held in the court, and everyone went to Baozhou and other places.
Let’s discuss and discuss the big things we are facing now.
