Chapter 1449 Peach Blossom Village under Peach Blossom Mountain
Yuntai Mountain on the border of Huazhou on the Gyeonggi Road was where Xiao Tang was summoned to Beijing by Zhao Ji, and his family moved to Bianliang, Tokyo. On the way, they were ambushed by strong bandits such as Liu Min and Duan Sanniang, who robbed their belongings and escorted them along the way.
The first birthday outline is located here. It is also located on the bank of the Yellow River. It is an important place at the junction of Gyeonggi Road, Hebei Road and Jingdong Road. From a geographical point of view, it is only separated from Jingdong Road by Jeju Shuibo Yangshan.
There are several counties.
This Junzhou is also the only way for the Jin army to go south and take Bianliang, Tokyo.
Therefore, Xiao Tang sent troops from Shuibo Liangshan to stop the Jin army, and he had the conditions to quickly control the strategic points. At least according to the current situation, the Jin army brazenly invading south was supplying military supplies during the march, and even took advantage of the situation to burn, kill, loot and invade villages.
In Shuibo Liang Village, which is not far away from the people, Xiao Tang and even the many leaders under his command cannot remain indifferent. They must carefully resettle the people who are within the area where the Jin Army is raging. No matter how many people can be rescued.
It was winter, and snowflakes were falling. On the outskirts of Wuqiu Town, southeast of Huazhou and adjacent to Jingdong Road, a group of military soldiers rubbed their hands and stamped their feet from time to time to keep out the cold, and were looking at the common people dressed up on their vehicles and horses on the road.
The farmers who have lived here have never left their hometown for a long time, and they will never be escorted by the strong bandits on the green forest road. However, the Shuibo Liangshan Dazhai under the command of Xiao Tang is not far away, and the heroes in the village are just for the sake of heaven.
They have all heard of the good name of practicing Taoism and vowing not to harm innocent and kind people. What's more, the news of the Jin army's arrival has spread. The bandits outside the North are ruthlessly ruthless and will kill everyone they see. Even if they have never seen it with their own eyes, they have
Having heard from generations about how ferocious the nomadic bandits would be when they invaded and plundered the country, fear would spread like a plague, so several groups sent by Xiao Tang came up with their intention and took advantage of the Jin army.
Before they even got to the door, almost all the people in the village were willing to move to other places with these green forest troops who were more trustworthy.
As for the officers and soldiers who were mostly extorting money, how could they dare to come forward when they encountered Xiao Tang's elite soldiers and horses in the green forest? I'm afraid I only hated my mother-in-law and Shaosheng's two feet, and they all fled in a hurry.
Are those guys resisting the Jin army’s foreign enemies? Don’t be ridiculous.
At least a few hundred households in Wuqiu Town alone have harnessed their mules and cattle, packed their belongings, and loaded all their household belongings on various large and small Taiping carts. In addition to tenants and farmers, there are also
Some of the big landowners, among whom the wealthy gentry in white and white clothes naturally have more horses and mules and vehicles. Among them, there are also some wealthy households who know the rules of human nature, who accompany them with smiles and use some money to pay for the green forest soldiers and horse leaders who are looking around.
It actually seemed like he was showing filial piety to those officials who asked for money every time they moved.
"Oh...it's so damn..."
The little bully Zhou Tong spat out the grass stalks that had dried up from the cold in his mouth, and couldn't help cursing. He also sighed in his heart that if he had looked at these rich people's carriages and horses, they would have been fat sheep passing by.
However, after defecting to brother Xiao Tang to join the righteous cause, these ordinary people not only determined not to harm them, nor to take away their wealth, but they also risked their lives to protect the big and small people.
Sure enough, this gentleman is not that easy to be...
However, even if Zhou Tong complained in his mouth, he was determined not to violate the strict military law in the stronghold. At most, he could only curse a few words in his heart. After all, now he can gather with the heroes for righteousness, and he does not have to guard the Peach Blossom Mountain like he did back then.
He was working hard to do business without capital in a small village, and he didn't worry about provoking the officials and soldiers who had some momentum to destroy the village. Although Zhou Tong was by no means the kind of upright hero who understood the righteousness, he also knew very well that he would follow brother Xiao Tang.
Damn, I can straighten my back as a human being.
It turned out that brother Li Zhong, who was also the leader of the Taohua Mountain bandits, was appointed as a partial general in the Golden Spear Army under the command of Golden Spear General Xu Ning. Previously, most of them were used as garrison troops to guard the mountain villages, not to mention the Zhou Dynasty.
Tong and Li Zhong's abilities, although they were supervised by Xu Ning, who was the former instructor of the Golden Spear Squadron in front of the palace, and they learned some essentials of commanding soldiers in the army, there were many fierce generals in the stronghold. In comparison, this pair
The skills of the sworn brothers who were born in Taohua Mountain are still very low, and there are not many opportunities to take orders down the mountain to fight in the past. As far as Huazhou and even surrounding Qing, Xingren hundreds of miles away, counties and villages may also be robbed and harassed by the Jin army.
, Zhou Tong, and Li Zhong also had to come in handy, and now they were ordered to go down the mountain and take a group of soldiers to escort the people of Wuqiu Town here who were willing to migrate to avoid the Jin army that might come at any time.
Nowadays, Zhou Tong's pair of tricks go to those rich and well-dressed people from time to time. In more car fights, those beautiful and fair-skinned girls are about to pass by. Although it is still unavoidable to feel the pain of heart and liver, but
It's still the same sentence: There is a thief's heart, but there is no thief's courage.
Suddenly there was a burst of laughter, Zhou Tong drooped his eyelids and looked around, and saw a girl laughing and running around. The little girl was very cute, and she was not afraid of strangers. She even ran straight to Zhou Tong.
In front of Tong Tong, a pair of big, flickering eyes stared at him.
In the past, when we were fighting in the green forest, ordinary people were afraid of strongmen who had no business. They said that we were all vicious, ferocious, and murderous demons. But now, even a little girl cannot be frightened.
... Zhou Tong was thinking in his mind, and suddenly grinned and made a grimace, which made the little girl giggle.
"Xin'er, don't run around." At this moment, a young woman hurriedly ran over and complained a few more words. She happened to meet Zhou Tong's eyes. Both of them were stunned for a moment, and then
The woman exclaimed in surprise, and immediately covered the little girl with her hands, with a look of horror on her face.
Zhou Tong grinned and had mixed feelings in his heart, because he also recognized the woman in front of him. She was not the daughter of Taigong Liu who lived in Taocun Village at the foot of Taohua Mountain. Back then, he had thrown away twenty taels of gold and a piece of red brocade for
The wedding ceremony, but the woman who wants to be the wife of Yazhai?
When old friends met at such a time, Zhou Tongxin said that he would never lose his position. He deliberately straightened his back, waved his hand in a pretending to be heroic, and said loudly: "Don't panic, I, the little bully, will keep his word."
, I broke my arrow and swore not to tease you anymore, Liu family, how can I regret my actions as a man? What’s more, I have defected to Xiao Renxia to join forces for righteousness, and I am a hero who only wants to do justice for heaven, so how can I intrude on you again?
Waiting for ordinary people?"
The woman felt a little relieved after hearing this, but when she saw Zhou Tong's pretentious and heroic appearance, she couldn't help but flatten her lips, as if she was trying her best to suppress her smile. Obviously, this woman from the Liu family in Taohua Village also
I think of the past when this little bully sneaked into his boudoir in the dark, only to be pinned down on the bed and beaten violently by a hot-tempered fat monk...
And Zhou Tong looked at the girl who was still looking curiously at the girl with her big black eyes even though she was hugged by the woman. The corners of his mouth twitched, and then he asked: "This girl,...
Is she your daughter?"
When the Liu family woman saw this, she hurriedly replied: "Exactly, my father died of illness a few years ago. He had met a member of the family here before, and his eldest son had been a matchmaker with the slave family, and it has been several years since he married."
While they were talking, a strong man dressed as a member of the military came over hurriedly. When the woman saw that it was her husband, she ignored the past that Zhou Tong planned to marry her by force, and only said that the leader had a peach blossom next to his hometown.
The grass fell on the mountain, and Xiao Renxiao gathered his righteousness and did not disturb the innocent people. Now he also came to escort Wuqiu Town to move safely. After hearing this, the man outside also thanked Zhou Tong without saying anything, and Zhou Tong glanced sideways.
, curled his lips and nodded numbly to show his respect, but look at this guy, he didn't like it.
When the family of three and the servants in the house set off on the road again, Zhou Tong couldn't help but brag about himself, saying that we were such good guys like Paul and others, and so on. Then as he watched them go away, a lonely sadness quietly hit Zhou Tong again.
With his heart in mind, he shook his head, with a look of loneliness and desolation on his face, and sighed: "Ah...this situation...your mother's legs..."
After about one or two sticks of incense had passed, Zhou Tong, who was still full of melancholy in his heart, saw that all the people here had evacuated. He stretched out and was about to call the young people to evacuate and join the soldiers and horses from other areas who were escorting the people to move.
, when he returned to Liangshanbo to hand over orders to Xiao Tang, he suddenly saw Li Zhong, who was watching in front, leading a group of soldiers and soldiers to rush towards him. He seemed to be very panicked, so he immediately asked loudly: "Brother Li Zhong,
Why are you so panicked?"
Over there, Li Zhong listened to Zhou Tong's question and immediately shouted loudly: "The Huazhou government office has been attacked by golden dogs. Those guys allowed the troops and horses to plunder everywhere. A group of troops and horses have already arrived and killed us. They are only two or three miles away from us."
