Chapter 406 The Water Margin of Song State, the Giant Bandit of Liao State
After Xiao Yifang said this, Ou Peng, Ma Lin, Zhang Shun and others present suddenly changed their colors. They stood up one after another, shouting and cursing incessantly.
Although Deng Fei established a stronghold in Yinmachuan, Jizhou, in Liao Dynasty, most of Xiao Tang's close brothers had never met him, but they also knew that Xiao Tang had obtained this when he was persecuted by the Nine-Headed Insect of Daming Prefecture and fled the world. He was rescued by a loyal man, so they had long regarded the fiery-eyed Suanni as their brother. Now that they knew he was in trouble, how could they not be filled with righteous indignation?
Although Dong Xiuo, Yi Lacheng and others didn't know who Deng Fei was, they were furious when they saw Xiao Tang and others, and they could see that they had a deep relationship with Deng Fei. Dong Xiuo also immediately spoke up: "What's Pingzhou?" Those strong bandits are nothing but birds! Brother, let’s kill them right away, and ask my brother to lead our troops to defeat those thieves!”
"Brothers, please be patient. Since the other party is asking for ransom, Brother Deng Fei is not in danger of his life now. Noisy and shouting will not help, we must quickly discuss countermeasures!"
Xiao Tang suddenly raised his hand and spoke loudly, and the noise of everyone present gradually subsided. Xiao Tang frowned and said: "Brother Meng Kang, who originally gathered in Yinma River, was also invited by me to come to Mizhou to supervise the construction of sea ships. , Brother Deng Fei was captured by that group of strongmen again... Now there is no leader who can make up his mind in Yinmachuan Village. The situation is urgent, and we have to rush to Jizhou as soon as possible to take charge of the situation."
After hearing this, Xiao Yi reported to Xiao Tang: "Young master, you don't know. Brother Deng Fei is not the only leader in Yinmachuan now. There are also two people who have settled in the village. Because the Pingzhou bandits are powerful, they are still fighting with those guys." No arguing."
Xiao Tang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh? Who else is presiding over the affairs of the village in Yinmachuan now."
Xiao Yi replied to Xiao Tang: "When the young master attacked Zhang Di in Hebei Province, didn't he get the help of Taoist priest Qiao and brother Sun An in Tongdan County on Hedong Road to defeat the bandits of the southern Hebei army and capture Zhang Di alive? Brother Sun An defected to him After becoming a young master, Taoist Master Qiao went straight to Erxian Mountain in Jiugong County, Jizhou, Liao State to learn Taoism from Master Luo, but he was rejected by Master Na Luo.
After wandering in the rivers and lakes for a while, Taoist priest Qiao went to Yinmachuan, Jizhou, to meet his brother Deng Fei after listening to what his young master said that day. After passing by Yinmachuan, Deng Fei and Qingfengshan, Sun An, they talked in detail and exchanged letters. Taoist priest now also knows the great event planned by the young master. The flying pigeon message brought from Yinmachuan was sent by Taoist priest Qiao."
After hearing this, Xiao Tang suddenly realized that Qiao Daoqing had entrusted his mother to him to take care of her in Daming Mansion. In the following years, he often visited her. But at that time, Xiao Tang was proclaimed by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty and his family had already moved to Tokyo. Bianliang. At that time, Sun An, Qiao Daoqing's close friend, was also ordered by Xiao Tang to go to Jingdong East Road to seize Qingfeng Mountain and take charge of the affairs of the village.
Although Xiao Tang's confidants in Daming Mansion intended to retain Qiao Daoqing, he usually only stayed for a few days due to his eccentric temperament. When Qiao Daoqing was wandering in the green forest, the dragon disappeared, so Xiao Tang could not know his whereabouts.
At this time, I heard Xiao Yi say again: "There is another person... but it is Hui'er's elder brother Ma Ling. After he returned to Zhuozhou in the Liao Kingdom, he also visited Hui'er in Xiaojiaji. Qiao Taoist priest and he are old acquaintances, and Zhuozhou and Jizhou are not far apart. Taoist priest Qiao saw him wandering alone in the rivers and lakes, so he invited him to stay temporarily in Yinmachuan some time ago."
Speaking of which, Xiao Yi should call Ma Ling brother-in-law. A few months ago, Xiao Yi and Ma Ling's sister, Ma Hui, got married in Daming Mansion. Xiao Tang, who was still in Bianjing at that time and was involved in many affairs, also ordered people to pay for their marriage. Xiao Yi, his confidant who has been with him the longest, sent him a wedding gift.
Although the old grudges between Xiao Tang and Ma Ling have been settled for a long time, there has been a disagreement between the two of them, and it is difficult for Ma Ling to call Xiao Tang "brother" like a normal person. However, Qiao Daoqing mediates it. Coupled with the relationship between Xiao Yi and his sister, I believe that the distance between Ma Ling and himself will become weaker and weaker over time.
However, Qiao Daoqing was also the mastermind of Tian Hu's men in the original trajectory, and he was also a luxurious figure who caused countless troubles for Song Jiang's army. Ma Ling also has the ability to lead an army. In the original work, he not only has Shen Xinshu, but also talks about martial arts. When fighting Ou Peng and Deng Fei alone, they couldn't tell the winner for a while. What's more, Ma Ling also had the ability to fly bricks and hit people with hidden weapons. He also injured many heroes in Liangshan one after another. Yinmachuan also had the help of these two people. , but still helpless against the gangsters in Pingzhou, so who is the leader of that gang of gangsters?
"Those guys have such a big appetite. Not only do they want to capture my brother Deng Fei, they also want to extort one hundred thousand dollars. Even if the ransom is given to them, let's see if they still have the life to spend it! The leader of the bandits in Pingzhou What is it called again?"
Xiao Yi listened to Xiao Tang's question and replied: "Taoist Master Qiao said that the gang of thieves in Pingzhou are known as the Nanjing Dao Giant Bandits, and their leader is Wang Bolong. They not only gathered in one village, but also from Lulong, Changli, and Luanshui within the boundaries of Pingzhou. The strong men all regard him as the leader of the alliance. I heard that he has added a great helper to his command recently. There are also many bandits in Jizhou who have taken refuge with Wang Bolong. At this time, they have gathered nearly ten thousand people."
When Guo Yaoshi and other men from Liaodong heard Xiao Yi report the name of the leader of the bandit, they all exclaimed in unison: "What? It's him!"
When Xiao Tang saw this, he looked at Pharmacist Guo and asked, "Is this Wang Bolong famous in the green forests of Liao Kingdom?"
Pharmacist Guo nodded and said: "My lord, I don't know. Wang Bolong was originally from Shuangcheng in Shenzhou (today's Shuangcheng in Heilongjiang Province). He was also a very luxurious person in the green forest of Tokyo. In the past, he gathered three to two thousand people. , they often fought against each other with the Tieli, Xiren, Shiwei and other tribes. Because the land outside the Great Wall in Liaodong was bitterly cold, Wang Bolong coveted the prosperity of Nanjing Road and led his troops to the land of Yanzhao to open another furnace gate. When he was in Liaodong, he He is a ruthless person who is extremely difficult to offend. I didn’t expect that in just a few years, he would already have such a reputation in Nanjing Road.”
Even Dong Xiuxiu, who was so brave and brave, had a solemn expression on his face at this time: "In the past, our Han family in Liaodong worked hard and gathered some local braves mostly just to protect themselves. But that guy Wang Bolong It's different. He and his gang of minions are all crazy bandits who kill without blinking an eye! Those guys only care about killing good people, and they don't know how many innocent people's lives they have ruined!
But Wang Bolong was indeed a very brave beast. He also killed many of the officers and soldiers sent by the Tokyo provincial government to arrest bandits and thieves. Back then, he was used to being violent and violent, but now he had gathered nearly ten thousand people... ..It is indeed something not to be underestimated.”
This Wang Bolong is more than just a giant bandit in the Liao Kingdom... Xiao Tang secretly thought to himself that there is indeed such a number one figure in the official history. Although he is a Han, he took advantage of the rise of the Jin Kingdom. He still led 20,000 people to join the Jurchens and was granted the title of Hereditary Men'an. The green forest bandits who were just gathering in one place were able to gather 20,000 horses under their command. In terms of size, the number of people was far greater than most of the people who established mountains and strongholds in the Song Dynasty. Green forest is powerful.
What's more, as a Han Chinese, Wang Bolong was actually named the Prince of Guangping County in the Jin Kingdom, and was posthumously awarded the title of Duke of Dingguo after his death. One can only imagine how many military exploits he made as a general of the Jin Kingdom when he attacked the Song Dynasty.
How many bloods of the same Han people have been stained.
However, Wang Bolong was indeed an extremely difficult enemy to deal with. When he was conquering the Song Dynasty, he led his army to fight in bloody battles with Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and other famous generals, and even gained the upper hand. In terms of martial prowess, Wang Bolong held the gate alone with his sword, and killed several Song troops in a row.
Ten of them also wore heavy armor and advanced with spears in the siege, killing more than 20 Song generals guarding the city and helping the Jurchens seize the city. They also led more than 20 cavalry to charge into the formation.
Thousands of Song troops who surrounded him were defeated...Although he was willing to serve as a minion for the Jin Kingdom to conquer his fellow Han family, this dog not only knew how to wag its tail to get its master, it was indeed an extremely ferocious and cruel mad dog.
....
But since you will eventually help the Jin Kingdom to act as a villain, and now you are bullying my brother, even if you, Wang Bolong, are a giant bandit in the Nanjing Road of the Liao Kingdom, my close brothers in the green forest are easy to provoke!?
