Chapter 400 Northern tribes, two archers in the Water Margin
Let us also say that places such as Yaozhou and Chenzhou in Liaodong are closer to Baozhou than the area north of Benxi County where Yan Qing, Guo Yaoshi, Dong Xiuo and the Yan brothers are now located, and every household of the nomads who migrated there is
They were all riding horses, so Duan Jingzhu came back to give orders much earlier than Yan Qing and others.
When Duan Jingzhu took Yi Lacheng and several other tribal leaders to Pi Island by boat, Xiao Tang and his brothers Xu Guanzhong, Xiao Yi, and Zhang Shun came to the dock to greet him. Yi Lacheng met Xiao Tang and immediately came to the dock.
He bowed before him and said gratefully: "A few days ago, I was given a large sum of money by Master Xiao, and today I was given a favor by Master Xiao. I have received such a great favor, and I am willing to serve as a pawn under the tent to repay Xiao."
Your Majesty’s great kindness!”
Xiao Tang stepped forward to help Yi Lacheng up, and after a few words of comfort, Yi Lacheng introduced to Xiao Tang that he had always been on good terms with him. At this time, Yi Lacheng said that he was willing to lead his clan members to join him.
Two tribal leaders. When Xiao Tang learned their names, he discovered that they were both acquaintances who appeared in "Water Margin".
One of these two people is called Tianshan Yong, who belongs to the Tieli tribe among the Heishui Mohe tribes, and the other is called Kou Zhenyuan, a descendant of Xianbei who integrated into the Khitan tribe. At that time, his ancestor was the Xianbei Gukou Yin clan, and later when Xianbei was fully Hanized
So he changed his Chinese surname to Kou.
It seems that the two of them are now living in Liaodong with their respective tribes, and have not yet been recruited by the Liao Dynasty officials to become military officers... Xiao Tang knew that this Tianshan Yong was accustomed to using a lacquered crossbow on his horse, and he used a
Iron-feathered arrows that are as long as a foot are known as "a little oil". Even Zhang Qing, the hero of Liangshan who was best at using flying stones to hit people and was the best at using hidden weapons to win, was hit in the throat by a crossbow. If it weren't for the ancestral medicine and surgery
, An Daoquan, the miracle doctor who can cure everything, tried his best to treat Zhang Qing, and Tianshan Yong killed a fierce general on Liangshan with just one iron feather crossbow arrow.
In the original work, Kou Zhenyuan competed with Sun Li, the sick Wei Chi, with guns and arrows, and their wits and bravery. The duel between the two of them can be called one of the most classic fights in Water Margin. Sun Li, who is also very good at archery, shot Kou Zhenyuan with an arrow.
At that time, Kou Zhenyuan, an expert in martial arts, was so bold that he just listened to the sound of the bowstring and fell down. When the arrow shot by Sun Li happened to hit, he took the sharp arrow and shot it directly into his hand.
He retaliates against Sun Li and shoots the arrow at him, which shows his excellent cavalry and shooting skills.
In terms of martial arts alone, although Tianshan Yong and Kou Zhenyuan are not first-rate generals, one of them is good at using a crossbow, and the other is extremely skilled in bow and horse skills. Although they are not as good as Xiao Tang's subordinate Li Guanghuarong, who is not good at bows and arrows, Xiao Tang can
When Tang Ruo was fighting against the people in the northeast of Liaoning, he indeed had two more cavalry officers who could use bows and crossbows to defeat the enemy.
As for Tianshan Yong, Kou Zhenyuan and their tribesmen, they originally lived a nomadic life of chasing water and grass. As the situation in Tokyo Road became more and more turbulent, they seemed to have moved into their tribes, and suffered repeated attacks in the conflicts between tribes.
Robbery. With the rise of riots in various places, they also realized that the livelihood of their tribesmen would only become more difficult if they continued to suffer. After Yi La Cheng's persuasion, Tianshan Yong and Kou Zhenyuan also made up their minds to lead their respective tribes to follow Yi La Cheng.
The successful Khitan herdsmen came to seek refuge with Xiao Tang.
As subjects of the Liao Kingdom, Tianshan Yong and Kou Zhenyuan were not without suspicions about Xiao Tang secretly setting up a town on the island near the Liao Kingdom's Tokyo Road. However, the Liao Kingdom's court has become increasingly confused.
All the land was separated from the rule of the Liao Dynasty. The government could no longer make its people live in peace. In this situation where the weak preyed on the strong and the strong were around, Yi La Cheng suddenly came to persuade them that there was a paradise for their people to thrive.
, and Xiao Tang, who occupies this place, will also provide them with food, grass, medicine and other materials to solve their people's survival problems. How could Tianshan Yong and Kou Zhenyuan miss such a good opportunity?
In terms of sense of belonging, although Tianshan Yong and Kou Zhenyuan are subjects under the rule of the Liao Kingdom, their first priority is the livelihood of their own people. What's more, Duan Jingzhu, who went to persuade the immigrants to move to Liao, said that Xiao Tang's move
It is not that they are taking advantage of the turbulent situation in Liaodong to break up the land and fight against the Liao Kingdom. The nomadic tribes such as Yilacheng, Tianshanyong, Kou Zhenyuan also have to unite to fight against the rebels who are burning, killing and looting all over Tokyo Road.
If their people can really be properly resettled under Xiao Tang's control, then the tribal leaders will be happy to accept Xiao Tang as their co-lord.
Tianshan Yong and Kou Zhenyuan looked at each other, and they all paid homage to Xiao Tang: "I heard from Yili Chengtou that Mr. Xiao is generous with his righteousness and wealth, and spends a lot of money to help the people. If you can really treat our people well, let them be here
There is a place to live in troubled times, and we are willing to crawl at Xun's feet and worship Xun as our common master!"
Yi Lacheng and several other Khitan tribe leaders also paid homage to Xiao Tangna: "Master Xiao helps those in need and help those in need. The Khitan sons of our tribe are also willing to encourage Master Xiao and serve as our masters!"
Xiao Tang took a serious step forward with the etiquette of a Khitan man. He stroked his chest and bowed, and said loudly: "I am respected by all the leaders, and I, Xiao Tang, also swear an oath here: All Li people gathered here, whether they are Han or Khitan
, Bohai, Tieli... and other ethnic groups, we are all brothers and sisters, we all share blessings and share hardships!"
Yi Lacheng and others were also overjoyed. Xiao Tang heard from the tribe leaders who came to seek refuge that Tianshan Yong, Kou Zhenyuan and several Khitan tribes who came with Yi La Cheng had a total of about 4,500 people.
At this time, most of the people gathered on the riverside outside Baozhou City. After Xiao Tang heard this, he immediately ordered Xiao Yi and Zhang Shun to order their men to load five thousand stones of grain and many clothes and medicinal materials onto the ship, and personally worked with the immigrants
The leader crossed the sea to Baozhou to appease the herdsmen from various tribes who were migrating all the way.
On the ship, Tianshan Yong's face was full of gratitude. He came close to Xiao Tang and said: "To be honest with Mr. Xiao, this is the first time I have met a kind and righteous person like Mr. Xiao who sent a lot of money to help other people."
I have heard and asked about this kind of thing about my people. Now Xiao Tang has found a paradise for our people to live in. This is a righteous act by the Liao Dynasty government, and it has never been so kind to my people."
Xiao Tang patted Tianshan Yong on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother Tianshan Yong, since you and I are in the same boat now, we should treat each other as brothers in the future. You are going too far to say that you are an 'adult'."
Tianshan Yong and Kou Zhenyuan looked at each other, and they laughed in unison: "In that case, we will follow the saying of the son of the Han family in the Southern Dynasty, and just call Brother Xiaotang!"
Everyone laughed loudly after hearing this. Nomadic men like them often move around in order to herd cattle and sheep. When they get along with others, their feelings are more passionate and bold. Compared with the congeniality between heroes in the green forest, they
It is also possible to immediately form a life-and-death friendship with a strange man just because of talking with him. What's more, Xiao Tang was indeed very kind to their tribesmen, so he seemed to have moved nomadic tribes like Lacheng, Tianshan Yong, and Kou Zhenyuan.
All the men were sincerely convinced at this time and were willing to sell their passion to Xiao Tang.
When the ship carrying grain, grass and medicinal materials gradually approached the Baozhou coast, Xiao Tang and others could gradually see the outline of Baozhou City clearly, but suddenly they discovered that the city was on fire and there were faint shouts of killing in the city. At the port
Countless herdsmen were also crowded and making a mess.
Is it possible that someone is causing trouble in Baozhou City? Xiao Tang and others were surprised when they saw it. Before the ship could reach the shore, Yi Shacheng and Tianshan Yong, Kou Zhenyuan jumped off the ship. They didn't care about the freezing cold water.
Running quickly to the port with the water flowing, he asked the tribesmen of each tribe: "What's going on? Baozhou City was also attacked by the rebel army!?"
There was a Khitan herdsman with a face full of panic. He hurriedly reported to Yi Lacheng: "The Bohai soldiers in Baozhou mutinied and killed the generals guarding the city. They are now burning, killing and looting all over the city. They are about to rush out of the city before they see it!"
