Chapter 296 Why did we fall for the grass? Why should we be recruited?
Under Fang La's tent, there was Nanli General Shi Bao. During the battle with the Song Jiang army who came to conquer, he killed Suo, Deng Fei, Yan Shun, Bao Xu, and Ma Lin, five generals of Liangshan. He also fought with the number one sword wielder on Liangshan.
The famous Dadaoguan victorious fought a fierce battle with no winner or loser. It can definitely be called a nightmare for Liangshan heroes!
It turns out that Mei Zhan has such a connection with the tiger-cutting stone treasure on Fujian Road in Wuyishan... While Wang Huan, Han Cunbao and others were still trying to persuade Mei Zhan, Xiao Tang secretly thought in his heart:
That Shi Bao's martial arts skills are not inferior to Guan Sheng's, and he is also good at using the meteor hammer to hit hundreds of times, which makes the opponent extremely headache. What's more, this Shi Bao is like Xiao Tang's current henchman Black Thunder Tiger, who can adapt to changes.
He is extremely capable and is very good at fighting in chaos. He can appear and disappear in the chaos. He is not only suitable for one-on-one duels, but he is also a strong general suitable for breaking into battles and killing enemies among thousands of troops!
And there is another detail in the book: when Song Jiang's army besieged Shi Bao and Baoguang Tathagata, Deng Yuanjue, two of Fang La's most powerful generals, in Wulongling, Deng Yuanjue insisted on going to the rescue because of Song Jiang's attack on Muzhou, but Shi Bao
But he said that Fang La did not send troops to rescue him, and he did not go to rescue him either. As a result, the two southern tiger generals parted ways. One was shot dead by Hua Rong, and the other committed suicide on Wulong Ridge.
In comparison, Deng Yuanjue was probably worried about the fall of Muzhou, which would lead to the loss of Fang La's old nest, while Shi Bao's wait-and-see attitude was not as anxious and worried about the leader of Fang La as Deng Yuanjue was. I am afraid that he was not a member of Manichaeism.
What's more, Mei Zhan also said that he was not the only one of the old tribe's disciples living in Zhejiang and Zhejiang, Fujian Road and so on. Before they were bewitched by Manichaeism, they might as well start with this Mei Dalang, in the green forests of the Jiangnan area.
Zhong also inserted his own forces.
But... how to tell Tong Mei Zhan is also difficult. After all, although he is indifferent to fame and wealth and wants to return home, his close friends such as Wang Huan and Han Cunbao for many years absolutely do not want this Zepao comrade to return to the mountains and become a thief. And he is in
It is not convenient for Wang Huan and other court generals to know the plan in the green forest now. Is it possible that he should wait for Gao Qiu to "help him" and force Mei Zhan to the point of desperation before he comes to help?
When Xiao Tang was thinking secretly, he suddenly stood up, stamped his feet and shouted: "What the hell! We have survived all the hardships for many years, but now that our brothers are innocent after being recruited, how about you?"
Are you going to throw away your pick and leave? Are you going to live happily ever after again? Fart! Then you will be a thief and I will be an official, is it possible that we two brothers will have to meet with their fucking swords!?"
In the Ten Festivals, Mei Zhan, Yang Wen, Xiang Yuanzhen, including Li Congji, Xu Jing, Wang Wende and others who were not present, most of them were the heroes of the world who had fallen behind in the past. They had heard each other's names for a long time in the world.
Later, after they were recruited to serve as officials together, they had a close relationship with each other despite having the same background. Zhang Kai was already impatient. When he heard Mei Zhan's thoughts, he got angry and scolded Kai Lai again, just like the way he used to look like he was still in the woods with fallen grass.
.
Wang Huan also tried to persuade Mei Zhan: "What do we brothers have to gain from serving the country for decades? Why don't you stay clean and die a good death? What can you do if you provoke Gao Qiu? Even then
No matter how powerful I am, I don’t believe he can kill all of us brothers!"
Mei Zhan smiled faintly and said: "Brother Wang Huan, brother Zhang Kai, I understand that you are all thinking about me. I, Mei Zhan, am alone, but I am not like your brothers who have a family, so if I offend Gao Qiu, I am offended.
, everyone in the capital's imperial army is afraid of his power, but I am not afraid of him. We have been confiding in each other for many years, how can I ask my brothers to come to my muddy waters?"
Seeing that Wang Huan and others were still waiting for further persuasion, Mei Zhan suddenly raised his hand and said word by word: "Brothers, although we were favored by the late Emperor and accepted, we still remember why we fell into the trap back then?"
The other governors were stunned after hearing this. For each of them, how could they forget that unforgettable experience?
Xu Jing, who was second only to Wang Huan in prestige among the ten festivals, wanted to take possession of his wife because the prefect coveted her beauty, and falsely accused Xu Jing of colluding with bandits.
Li Congji, who was wandering in the rivers and lakes, helped escape from prison and then gathered in the mountains and forests; Yang Wen was falsely accused by the powerful of colluding with the Yuanyou Party members, and fled all the way to the Jiaozhi border after having his house confiscated; Zhang Kaifeng, because he was a martial arts master, killed a bully who was running rampant in the countryside, and set up a
He escaped the pursuit of the government and ended up as a bandit; Mei Zhan was even framed by officials and businessmen in collusion with him for passing on substandard tribute to the weaving court, causing all the men in the Mei family to be exiled and the women to be slaves, and the love of his life, Li Xiuwen, also died unjustly...
...
Most of these Jiedu envoys who are now successful in the Song Dynasty army were harmed by the powerful and treacherous in their early years, making it difficult for them to surrender to the country and find it difficult to return to their families. Recalling these things, Wang Huan, Zhang Kai and others were also trapped in
fell silent.
Mei Zhan took a long breath and said: "When the world is unfair, we brothers have been forced to become thieves. But we brothers are willing to be recruited by the court, not only to leave a clean reputation behind us, but also to enable future generations to be able to
I should be an upright person. But the current world... I'm afraid it's even more unbearable than it was back then. I understand my brothers' scruples, but since I am a carefree person, I can't just waste my time in the capital.
That's the air of a traitorous official in the court. So what does it matter to me if I am an official or a thief? What is the value of a mere empty title of Jiedushi?"
The meaning of Mei Zhan's words was very clear to Xiang Yuanzhen and other Jiedu envoys with a rough background. If they didn't have some blood and courage back then, who would have dared to openly raise a banner in the green forest to oppose the government? But later on they
Therefore, he was willing to accept the recruitment because not only did he not want to be known as a thief and bandit after his death, but he also did not want his wife, children, and children to follow him in the mountains and become strong men for the rest of his life.
After experiencing countless battles and battles, these Jiedu envoys can be regarded as successful. In the days when the capital is receiving state salary, marrying wives and having children, and their wives and children are hot on the bed all day long, the edges of their past cheerful and grudge-like temperaments have long been smoothed away.
Young Master. Otherwise, if when they were still gathering in the mountains and forests, they met Gao Yanei, a Huahua Taisui who relied on the power of Captain Gao Qiu to do all kinds of evil, wouldn't they have killed him with a knife earlier?
Anyone who is involved in official circles, not only Lin Chong, low-ranking military attachés like Xu Ning must be cautious, tolerant and retreat, so why not these military envoys?
But Mei Zhan was different. He missed his deceased wife and never remarried. In the capital, except for a few old friends such as Wang Huan, Zhang Kai, Han Cunbao, etc., he only had a few family generals around him to accompany him in affairs. He had no family ties, and he was like him.
This kind of extremely dedicated person has a temperament that is difficult to compromise with reality. Therefore, due to a strange combination of circumstances, Mei Zhan met Xiao Tang through Wang Huan, and when he learned about the experiences of Lin Chong and others, he could still remain calm.
Go against the powerful without any scruples.
Although Han Cunbao was not one of the green forest heroes who was recruited into the army, he was also a man of great love and justice. Moreover, Han Cunbao did not want his colleague Ze Pao, whom he had known for more than twenty years, to be overly extreme and give up his official career in anger, so he asked Mei Zhan to persuade him.
Said: "Brother Mei Zhan thought wrong! After all, we are also from the second grade Jiedushi, how can Gao Qiu dare to punish it easily? Besides, my Han family has many disciples in the court, I don't believe that Gao Qiu dares to commit crimes
Public anger will harm you! Brother, don’t worry, I will take care of your freedom!”
Xiao Tang sighed in his heart after listening: I'm afraid you, Gao Qiu, the military governor of Yanzhong Yanmen who was born in the Han family in Xiangzhou, really didn't notice him. When he conquered Liangshan, Gao Qiu wanted to kill you and strip you of your military governor.
He didn't even blink when he was in office. As for Gao Qiu, how could he pay attention to these old ministers of the former dynasty who were not liked by the officials at all?
I'm afraid that this plum blossom exhibition and the weeds falling are a foregone conclusion.
