Chapter 220 The mountains are the masters, and the addiction of behind the scenes
He was about to sit up, but he felt severe pain from the bandaged wound, which made him grin. He raised his eyes and saw Xiao Tang sitting aside.
Looking at him, he looked at Xiao Tang, hesitated for a long time, and finally asked with a snort: "Fangshan has been broken by the army?"
Xiao Tang nodded and said, "Yes, but even though I captured Duan Sanniang and Duan Wu, and killed the thief Kou Fan, I still let Fengtai, Liu Min and other leaders run away."
After being stunned for a while, he looked sideways at Xiao Tang and said in a deep voice: "I don't think the officers and soldiers are that great! If I hadn't been plotted by those treacherous thieves, how could you have broken the stronghold so quickly?
!?"
Xiao Tang couldn't help but shook his head when he heard that he was trying to show off his strength, and sighed: "Now that the situation is over, who can you show off your ability with? Defeat is defeat, what are your plans now?"
Although he was reckless and straightforward, he was not a fool. He fought with the officers and soldiers in two bloody battles and killed Wang Yi, the commander of the army and horses. He also killed the officers and soldiers with axe. Now he fell into the hands of Xiao Tang.
Li Xiu said that instead of killing him with a knife to vent his anger, he should be thrown into a cage and be executed after the official trial. But now he has been bandaged and has many serious injuries on his body, and he is being cared for. Now Xiao Tang meets him alone.
How could he not know that Xiao Tang wanted to recruit him?
Thinking of this, Qiang snorted coldly and said: "Although I can't kill Liu Min to avenge him, I kill people for nothing. Now even if I die, I will still make money in this life! If you learn this skill, you will die.
I am getting what I deserve under the sword! Now I am killed or beheaded by your hands, and I have no complaints. But if Xiao Renxia, you want me to seek refuge with the government, then you are looking down on me!"
Why are Yuan Lang, Qian and others who met each other these days, so stubborn? Xiao Tang couldn't help laughing and said: "Which of the ordinary innocent heroes in the world is willing to taint his parents' family background? Others advised him
Luo Cao is determined not to do so, why don't you want to gain fame in the army at all, but you only want Luo Cao to become a bandit?"
He grinned widely and said loudly: "Both of my parents are deceased. I am originally a countryman in the mountains. Which relative wants me to honor my family name? I am alone, and I have only loved killing people and setting fires. In this life, I have not only been seeking war.
If you want to be beaten happily, you must live happily! If you serve in the army and ask me to lick the butt of a Shangguan dog, and suffer the indiscriminate killings, how can you make me happy?
Xiao Renxia, since you are also an extravagant person on the road, how could you not know that the military prisons in various state yamen are full of idiots who deceive the common people and soldiers! What can Luocao do? If I ask you to look at me seriously, what can I say?
The arrogant governor of the capital, even if the emperor comes in person, he will take a dozen blows from me! A good man must live like this, even if I die in your hands today, I will be worth it!"
This 縻貹 turned out to be a desperado who could not tolerate even the slightest bit of nastiness, but was also warlike and crazy... After Xiao Tang talked with 縻粹, he had a general understanding of his character. His kind of
His temperament is also consistent with that of many heroes in Water Margin.
Just as Jin Shengtan said in his review of "Water Margin": A hundred and eight people from Liangshan gathered in Liangshan to rebel. Chaos did not originate from below, but chaos came from above. Although there are indeed rogue bandits among the strong men from all walks of life not represented by Liangshan.
The thugs committed crimes, but it was also due to the increasing chaos and disorder of the ruling class that strongmen from all walks of life took turns to appear and cause trouble, which fits the eight words of "Killing is the result, and injustice is the cause."
However, if we think about it from a legal point of view, a reckless person with a temperament like the one in the world is indeed a destabilizing factor in society. If the Song Dynasty had become corrupted to the point where it could be overthrown by a group of heroes from all over the world, it would seem that the
Warriors like Jian, who were inspired by heroes to rebel, could become effective generals in overthrowing tyranny and changing dynasties. However, if the Song Dynasty was not exhausted, when these ruthless bandits rebelled against the imperial court, they were indeed adding to their power.
The internal strife of this huge country has made people in all directions suffer even more from military disasters.
From the perspective of the important ministers of the Xiaotang court, of course, the bandits who caused trouble in all directions like Dian would continue to kill them, and eliminate these traitors and thieves who broke the court laws and caused trouble everywhere as their own Jin.
Despite his personal qualifications, the mortal enemy in Xiao Tang's heart was by no means just the increasingly fatuous and decadent officialdom of the Song Dynasty, nor was it all the strongmen and bandits who gathered in the rivers and lakes to cause chaos.
According to official history, among the powerful rebels who dominated for a while, Song Jiang was indeed recruited by the imperial court, and Fang La, who started the Manichaean rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River, was also wiped out, but what the hell happens next?
Of course, Xiao Tang still wanted to recruit this 绻貹, but he could never allow him to escape his control and be used by the ambitious heroes in the green forest.
"Just rest in peace and recover from your injuries. The people who come and go in this camp are all close friends of our government. I will not take you to Fangzhou government office to hold you accountable." Xiao Tang Youyou said, "I will wait until you recover from your injuries.
I can make a recommendation for you when you find a place in the green forest."
Now he couldn't understand what he heard. After a moment of confusion, he looked at Yang Hao again and said in a low voice: "Xiao Renxia, I am a rough man. Please tell me what you want me to do."
Just do it!”
Xiao Tang stared at Gu Jian, and said with a slight curl of the corner of his mouth: "Your skills are indeed very useful, and I don't advise you to be recruited by the government. Since you want to fight happily, I will fulfill your wish in the future.
"
His eyes moved and he asked in amusement: "Xiao Renxia privately pardoned me for Luocao's crime, isn't he afraid that the government will know about it?"
Xiao Tang stood up and replied: "After you are injured, it will not be too late for me to discuss everything with you in detail."...
When Xiao Tang walked back to the commander's tent, only Xiao Jiasui, Hua Rong, Yuan Lang and other confidants with the army were waiting for him. Xiao Jiasui saw Xiao Tang and reported to him: "General Yang Zhi has to be treated by the army doctors, and all the iron pieces have been removed.
He also used gold medicine to apply it. Now there is no serious threat to his life, but he still needs to be escorted back to the city to teach a doctor to make careful treatment."
Xiao Tang nodded in agreement, and then said to Yuan Lang: "Brother Yuan Lang, although Fengtai and Liu Min have escaped now, the troubles caused by the Fangshan bandits have been eliminated. The Shiliang Mountains in Xiangzhou also need brothers to regain their strength.
After he recovers from his injuries, I plan to ask him to defect to your village."
Yuan Lang clasped his fists and replied: "That 绻貹 is very capable and can be put to great use. But now that Fangshan Dazhai has been taken away, how long does Xiao Renxia plan to stay in the west of Beijing?"
Xiao Tang thought for a while and replied: "The green forests in the west of Beijing are mixed with dragons and snakes, and the good and the bad are mixed. It is not easy to conquer the powerful men from all over the country one by one. Those who should be suppressed and those who should be wined over need to be brought by Yuan Lang brothers.
Think about it more."
Over there, Xiao Jiasui frowned slightly and said: "Although the immediate task is over, young master, now that we have eliminated the Fangshan bandits, it will also deter the powerful people in the west of Beijing from taking advantage of the chaos. But in addition to appeasing the people and calming down the counties in Fangzhou, etc.
Later, two strong men from Funiu Mountain and Xiong'er Mountain in Dengzhou were also waiting for the young master's response. Mr. Wen, brother Yan Qing and others were collecting all kinds of evidence of Yang Tai's past crimes. How to make that guy go to justice? I'm afraid this matter will be careless.
No."
The prerequisite for asking Xiong Ershan Xi Sheng and others to surrender is to help him avenge his grievances, except Yang Tai, the military commander who embezzled military pay, killed good men, took credit for merit, and persecuted his colleagues in the military prison in the west of Beijing. Now that the murderer has been eliminated, the corrupt official
It’s really time to take action...
If Yang Tai can be successfully eradicated and the strong men from the two mountains gathered in Dengzhou can be successfully reunited, then together with the seizure of Erlong Mountain and Qingfeng Mountain in Qingzhou on the Jingdong East Road, and the support of Yuan Lang in Xiangzhou Shiliang Mountain on the Jingdong South Road, he can regain his momentum.
Xiao Tang successfully inserted five groups of forces in the green forest and secretly expanded them, but... Xiao Tang felt more and more like the mysterious man who wore a bronze mask and formed a secret organization.
There is a legend in the world about Gong Ziyu, or he may be like the Happy King who acts upright on the surface, but secretly exerts his power and makes people in the world change their minds after hearing about it.
But this feeling of being the mastermind behind the scenes is quite good.
