Chapter 710 The sword is slanted, how can you follow the old routine?
Without further ado, when Shi Xiu said that Xiao Tang planned to interview his brothers in person, Fu Xuan and others immediately agreed. But after all, it was the commander-in-chief of the army and the army who met with the leader of the Green Forest Army. When and where would the two sides meet? The number of confidants to be brought, the distance between the troops of both sides and the commanders of both sides of the meeting... After the matters were finalized one by one, Jiao Wentong, the leader of the village, also smiled and said that if it were not such an urgent time, it seemed that People like Shi Xiu should treat them well when they come to the village.
At that time, Shi Xiu said with a straightforward smile: "I came to visit according to my brother's instructions. I didn't want to have a misunderstanding or dispute with the heroes of Guizhai. There is nothing wrong with renewing friendship with us. I will come here this time." , I would also like to ask for a few glasses of water and wine from all the heroes!"
Fu Xuan laughed loudly when he heard this, and ordered the cooks in the village to kill chickens and sheep, and then he and several brothers treated Shi Xiu to a dozen bowls of wine. Not only did he eat well, but he also drank happily. The two sides only talked about the length of the forest and the loyalty of the world. , and the conversation went into the alley, and then Fu Xuancai ordered the leader to respectfully send Shi Xiu down the mountain and report back to Xiao Tang.
Shi Xiu returned to the camp and reported to Xiao Tang the process of his negotiations with several leaders of the Tongtianxia line in Taihang Mountain, their reactions, and the fact that many ordinary people were accommodated in the camp. Xiao Tang listened to the truth. He comforted him for the time being, and then secretly interacted with this green forest army in secret. Mutual cooperation was absolutely feasible. He immediately ordered a few confidants and cronies to go with him and go to personally interview Fu Xuan and other leaders three days later.

Tongtian Gorge, Tongtian Lake.
The scenery of Tongtian Gorge is inherently beautiful and magnificent, and the beauty of the mountain scenery lies in the water and the beauty of the forest. With the surrounding deep pools, waterfalls, and gurgling water paths, Tongtian Lake looks like jade and blue, like a dream, after being reflected by the sunlight. The magical lake is sparkling with blue waves, reflecting the blue sky, just like a piece of blue sky falling into the mountains. A green mountain surrounding the lake reaches straight into the sky, which also makes tourists playing by the lake feel a sense of wonder when they look up. The feeling of being overwhelmed by Mount Tai.
Surrounded by green mountains and green mountains, there are towering green mountains, clear water, and two small wooden bridges across the lake. The small bridge and the lake have a unique scenery. Xiao Tang and his friends As soon as my brother visited this place, he felt so intoxicated that he never wanted to return.
This time, although Xiao Tang could feel that the people in the Taihang Mountains were good men who could be won over, but unlike when he went to the camp alone to persuade Wei Dingguo to join the group, Shan Tinggui, Pao Ze's close friend who had a close relationship with Wei Dingguo at the time, had already agreed to join Xiao Tang. In the Erlongshan Dazhai under the command of the Tang Dynasty, Xiao Tang and Wei Dingguo fought side by side for a period of time when they conquered Zhang Di, and they had a rough idea of his character. Thirdly, the divine fire general also had this character in the original work. Xiao Tang, the leader of the village such as Fu Xuan, Meng De, Liu Ze, Jiao Wentong and others, did not know whether they were also figures whose names were recorded in history books or masterpieces, and it was only the first time they met in person, so Still need to be more careful.
What's more, when Xiao Tang was appeasing the Jingnan Road, he also went to Xiong'er Mountain as the commander-in-chief of the army and the strongman leader of Funiu Mountain to discuss the matter in person. Xi Sheng, the Teng brothers and others did not intend to take the opportunity to ambush Xiao Tang. , but there are also villains causing trouble. Therefore, in addition to Xiao Tang, brothers Shi Xiu, Hua Rong, Xu Guanzhong, and Xiao Jiasui, as well as seventy or eighty of Xiao Tang's personal soldiers, came together to ensure that nothing went wrong. .
Of course, those who came with Xiao Tang to meet with the leader of the Taihang Mountain Green Forest Soldiers and Horses were all confidants who knew what he was secretly planning.
Yao Pingzhong was persuaded by Xiao Tang. He commanded the Sixth Battalion of the Western Army to station outside Tongtian Gorge to ensure that no more minions under Tian Hu would suddenly come to kill him. Not long after Xiao Tang arrived at Tongtian Lake,
He then saw a man at the other end of the small bridge on the lake, leaning his head to relax. After seeing Xiao Tang and others, the man made a gesture in the distance, then turned around and whistled. After a while, there were more than a hundred people there.
A figure emerged from the dense forest and walked towards Xiao Tang.
The accompanying soldiers stopped and stopped about seventy or eighty steps away from the lakeside pavilion. Xiao Tang only came to the pavilion with his four brothers, Xiao Jiasui, Xu Guanzhong, Shi Xiu and Hua Rong, while Taihang Mountain Green Forest Man Mana came to the pavilion.
On the other side, only four people, Fu Xuan, Meng De, Liu Ze and Jiao Wentong, walked across the wooden bridge and walked straight towards the pavilion.
"My four brothers have only heard about the famous name of Renxia Xiaotang in Daming Mansion, and we can't meet him even if we want to kill him. I didn't expect to be able to visit you again today, which will satisfy my wish to meet heroes in my life!"
When Fu Xuan and others met Xiao Tang, they didn't look like a green forest strongman negotiating with the army. They followed the Jianghu route and worshiped Xiao Tang.
Xiao Tang also bowed to Fu Xuan and others and said with a smile: "You guys, you occupy Tongtian Gorge here. The scenery is indeed beautiful, with good mountains and good water."
Jiao Wentong laughed when he heard this and said in a naive voice: "This is not the only good place in Tongtian Gorge in Taihang Mountain. There are also Sandie Waterfall, Leisure Pool, Tongtian Waterfall, Water Curtain Cave, Shengui Lake...
.If Xiao Renxia is interested, we can take him to have fun."
Meng De was just like Jiao Wentong. He was someone who had some calculations in his heart. He paid his respects to Xiao Tang again with a hint of words: "It is said that when you are visiting, the village will prepare some light wine and coarse food. Please invite Xiao Renxia and all the heroes to come to our place."
When the village was under control, Quan was in charge. However, we also knew that Xiao Renxia was a high-ranking member of the court, and now he was leading the army to attack the people in the green forest who were doing evil in Hedong.
, it is inevitable to be criticized by others in the officialdom, so I have to welcome Xiao Renxia and a few heroes here. If there is any neglect, I hope you will forgive me."
Xiao Tang smiled when he heard this and said: "You call me a ghost fox. Sure enough, there is a hidden edge in your words. You may think that although I, Xiao Tang, have been praised by the heroes of the world and call me a knight, but I have long been in the court and have drawn a clear line with the world, and
Don't you dare to go to the green forest where heroes gather in the cottage or the rivers and lakes to express your courage in person?
Nowadays, bandits are rampant all over Hedong Road and harm the good people. But I am just doing official business. When I have nothing else to do, I really want to go to Guizhai to cause trouble. When I am an official, I only kill the most vicious sycophants. When I am in the Jianghu.
..... I also deeply hate those dog officials who bully the people. I also know the general reason why you fell into the grass, so what should I have to worry about when I am honest with you?"
"If all the officials in the world are like Xiao Renxia, how can we brothers end up in the mountains and forests?"
Hearing what Xiao Tang said from his own mouth, Fu Xuan and others were finally able to feel at ease. At this time, Fu Xuan said to Xiao Tang: "How can our brothers not believe Xiao Renxia Jinkou's promise? Xun led the army to attack.
When Tian Hu was there, we would naturally cease our activities and strictly order the brothers under his command not to cause trouble. Fang Xuedu was also handed over to Xiao Renxia. When Xiao Renxia calms down the river east and gets rid of the green forest scum, if you think highly of it,
We brothers are still willing to come to our cottage for a chat... Hehe, we should be ready to sweep up the bed and welcome you."
Xiao Tang could also hear that Fu Xuan and others were very satisfied now that they saw that he had no intention of embarrassing their own people. However, he was a second-rank official in the court, and he was not like Song Jiang, Dai Zong, and Zhu in the ordinary county town yamen. Pingtong is a low-level subordinate official who is mixed with the people in the world, but the group of soldiers led by Fu Xuan and others are setting up a mountain in the green forest. In the final analysis, they are still strong men who fight against the government. Even if they remove some high-ranking officials, they cannot afford to wait. Why is Xiao Tang, who now represents the official government, and a group of outlaws who are innocent of murder and have meritorious deeds in suppressing them? I'm afraid Fu Xuan, Meng De and others don't want to believe it no matter what they think.
It's just that ordinary officials, whether they want to avoid suspicion or gossip, or have contempt for people in the world, almost always stand apart from the green forests and grass, and will not suffer the slightest implication. But since I, Xiao Tang, started the "Water Margin Project", how could I Are you doing things according to the old official routine?
