Chapter 645 No poison, no husband, what is the homeland?
The escape move that Tian Huhuan called was originally from the Xiang Qiang people in the North. As the Hedong Road reaches the three passes outside Yanmen of the Great Wall in the north, there are also some nomadic tribesmen operating around the borders of Song Xia and Song Liao.
The nearly a thousand strong men and horses under the command of Tuozhao were mixed with Han and Qiang, and they made a living by doing business without capital. Just because they made a few big deals in the Ninghua Army area, they killed three or two local wealthy people.
The son of a wealthy family was being hunted by government officials and local powerful men, so he had no choice but to flee south. He happened to see Tian Hu gathering bandits from the east of the river to start a rebellion, so he escaped and joined his subordinates.
But I saw that Tuozhao had a bald head, but he had two pigtails on his temples. He also wore a gold hoop earring in each ear. He was wearing a fur robe that nomads usually wear, and he had a
He was armed with a machete and dressed like a Qiang man. Tuozhao, who was very tall and strong, was stunned when he heard this. He asked Tian Hu again: "I and several groups of herdsmen in Xia territory, two or three groups of horse bandits fell."
Some friendship. It's just Chief Tian Da. Since we are operating on Hedong Road, if we inform other Qiang tribes to go to Song Dynasty to cause trouble, and the trouble becomes bigger, won't we invite more officers and soldiers to come to encircle and suppress us?"
Tian Hu laughed ferociously when he heard this, and said harshly: "We brothers are just killing officials to rebel, so we are afraid of breaking the law? But this is only a way out for us. If Qiu Bazhen in the government forces us to do something wrong,
, simply go and instigate foreigners to cause more trouble, how can that be done?”
After hearing what Tian Hu said, a few of the strong leaders showed hesitation. Even though most of them were murderous murderers, after all, they were all sons of the Han family from the Song Dynasty.
Women, children, old and young just go to kill and rob, and those green forest strongmen only regard it as a job for the green forest to make a living, so they are justified in what they do, but colluding with foreign tribes to harm their homeland... This kind of behavior
If word spreads, even if it is a green forest bandit who relies on burning, killing and looting, his reputation in the world will be ruined.
Tian Hu also had such worries in his heart, but when he was really pushed to the dead end, once he, the bandit leader who incited strongmen from all over the country to kill officials and rebel, was captured by the government, he would definitely be sentenced to endure all kinds of pain and suffering.
The execution of cutting flesh with razor blades, and even being taken to the city to be beheaded in public has become a luxury. Tian Hu has a cruel temperament. If he doesn't get a good death, how can he care about the lives of the people in his hometown?
What's more, Tian Hu thought at this time: Xiao Tang's fellow was called Ren Xia. He killed and raped people in Changjie of Daming Mansion, controlled various businesses in Hebei, Bianjing, Shandong and other places.
Tuanshan captured Zhang Di, the green forest lord of Hebei, and defeated the strongman Xiao Jufangshan... I heard that not long ago, his Xiaojiaji also merged into the business of Zengtou City, Dezhou, Hebei, a local tycoon on the border of the Song Dynasty.
, no one can compete with him... But wealth and fame must be obtained in danger. Xiao Tang has been going smoothly in both the black and white roads. If he falls into my hands this time, he will not be able to scare the green forest tycoons.
, also teach me Tian Hu how to make a name for himself?

At the same time, Xiao Tang said goodbye to Wu Li with several close brothers and returned to Tongdan County Yamen. He first asked Lieutenant Li from the Yamen to lead the way, and then went to the Weisheng Army, where he also came from a wealthy family (in the official history of the Jin Dynasty).
(renamed Qinzhou), but now he is visiting his parents at Shan Shiqi's home in Erlong Mountain.
Later, when Shan Shiqi went to deliver family letters to the county town, he only told his parents that he was working as a steward in the Xiaotang Mansion in Bianjing, and he also helped his sworn brother to work in Daming Mansion in Hebei Province. Originally, Shan Shiqi was a hot-blooded man, so he worked with him all day long.
His parents were always worried about the ruffians in the city who were causing trouble. When they heard that their child had run away in a hurry to join Xiao Tang, the upstart Bianjing court, they were naturally surprised and happy. They thought about their son.
There is no need to be brave and fierce while staying in the county. With the care of the nobles in the court, you should be able to live a successful life.
Although he was warmly treated by Shan Shiqi's parents, Xiao Tang was inconvenient to tell them that their child was not in Bianjing now, nor in Daming Mansion, Hebei Province. Instead, he had joined the village under his command, Lu Lin, to do some work.
A strong leader... It turns out that Shan Shiqi had been practicing stick skills with Wang Jin when he was in Xiaojiaji, Hebei. It was also when Xiao Tang faked his death and was working in Liaodong that he got a fever and started to clean up his mess again.
With iron rods and luggage, they simply threw themselves into the green forest village to find happiness for their brothers. Now everyone in Tongtian County is worried about the thieves from the east of the river breaking into the city. If the parents of Jiaoshan Shiqi learn that their precious son is also affected by
Under the influence of Xiao Tang, he went to Shandong and became a strongman leader. I wonder what the elders would think of this?
Should he instruct Shan Shiqi's brothers to take his parents up the mountain, or think of another way? He can't teach him to lie to his parents all the time. How should he deal with it? We must wait for an opportunity to send a letter to Erlong Mountain to ask Shan Shi
Qi and the other brothers figured out a countermeasure...
After leaving the mansion of Shan Shiqi's parents, Xiao Tang returned to Tongdi County Government and discussed with Luo Jian, Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo and other military generals how to resettle the refugees, how to select and train the new army, and how to resist the Hedong bandits and other armies.
Confidential matter. In the meeting hall, Xiao Tang looked at the large map hanging in the middle. Although the map was simple, it would center on Tongtian County, Weisheng Army and even several important cities in the surrounding military states, as well as mountains and rivers.
The locations were marked. Xiao Tang stretched out his finger and tapped the location of Tongtian County on the map, and looked around it intently.
To the east of Tongtang County, Tongtang Mountain and Shiti Mountain are a rolling mountain range. To the southwest, across the Qinshui River, is Qinyuan County, Tian Hu’s hometown. The rest of the area is mostly covered with mountains and rivers, and there are dangers everywhere.
Although the chain horses led by Hu Yanzhuo can still break through the formations in some areas in the mountain pass, there are not many river valleys and flat areas for him to display his fists. Moreover, in the Hedong boundary, Tian Hu and the leaders of the strongmen under his command are more familiar with the terrain.
Paths and the same tactics are not conducive to repeated use.
Surrounded by thousands of mountains, the military prefectures along the Hedong Road that are easy to gather for sentinels, and the valleys between the mountains are now like hunting grounds for bandits. All villages, towns, and villages exposed to the eyes of the strong will be their prey.
On the one hand, chasing the bandits while on the other hand, assisting the suffering people everywhere, I am afraid that over time, it will only make the troops physically and mentally exhausted, and may not be able to achieve much results. Xiao Tang cannot despise these strategic weaknesses.
Xiao Tang thought for a while, and then said leisurely: "Now that the soldiers and horses led by Tian Hu have gained some momentum, they will not be hiding in the poor mountains and ravines forever. Tongtian County is a strategic place within the boundaries of the Wei Sheng Army.
, and Tian Hu was on the west side of Wei Sheng's army, it was expected that he would also want to take this place first, but now there is a large army stationed in the county. The movement of the bandit army, it was impossible to guess what the guys wanted to do for a while...
..”
Xiao Jiasui also stared at the map hanging on the wall, and suddenly he said: "Although the bandit army is mostly a mob, its victory lies in its large number. If Tian Hu wants to rely on the strength of his people and forcefully lead his army to attack, it is not impossible.
This is possible. But since the thieves have a numerical advantage, I'm afraid..."
Xiao Jiasui was talking, and then he reached out and clicked on Nanguan Town above Tongtian County, Hujia Mountain and other locations adjacent to Taiyuan Prefecture. Then without stopping, he also clicked on Fenzhou, northwest of Weisheng Army, and southwest
There is Jinzhou in the front, and Longde Mansion in the south. Although he did not say anything, Xiao Jiasui's meaning is very clear. If the bandits in Hedong want to bloom more, where will the officers and soldiers rescue them? Where will they protect them?
Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo, Hua Rong and other generals looked at each other and couldn't come up with an idea for a while. They were all fierce generals who wanted to fight and kill. If the coach had an order, they would just risk their lives and lead the army to fight. But in
At the level of strategic deployment, the current conditions and situation cannot help but make them unable to do anything.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in the meeting hall and said: "I only regret that the idiots in the Hedong Army are afraid of swords and avoid swords, which has allowed thieves to spread and miss the important national affairs. It is obviously our territory of the Song Dynasty and can be used now."
The soldiers are actually stretched thin! In view of the humble position, if we want to fight against the Hedong thieves to the end, we have to make some choices and work slowly."
