When Xiao Tang and his party returned to the army camp from Tongtian Gorge and Tongtian Lake, they escorted Fang Xuedu and several thieves. Fang Xuedu did not expect that the green forest thieves along the Taihang Mountains would actually meet with the envoys sent by the army.
, and handed himself over.
However, Fang Xuedu had no intention of scolding Fu Xuan and others now. They were obviously strong men who had fallen off the grass, but they ignored the morality of the world and were frightened by the army and betrayed their comrades. When he learned that the person who came to escort him was
When Xiao Tang took full control of the power to control Hedong, he immediately knelt down and reported to Xiao Tang that if Xiao Renxia had any questions, just judge the villain, and the villain should tell everything he knew.
Now Fang Xuedu's mood has changed very quickly. In the past, he followed Tian Hu to do evil, and he thought hard about how to seduce the government and the army. Now that he has been captured by the government, he immediately wants to betray other Tian Hu.
The strong men under the tiger's command enabled the government to be lenient and pardon him for the death penalty that should have been beheaded or even jailed.
Although this guy is a loser, he can really be used in this situation.
Because Fang Xuedu was ordered by Tian Hu to swarm the strongmen from various places in the south of Hedong Road to join him, he therefore targeted several military states on the southeast side of the river such as Gaizhou, Jiangzhou, Jinzhou, Cizhou and other areas where strongmen were swarming.
He knew the number of horses and even the stronghold where the bandit leader was hiding. By pouring beans through his bamboo tube, he could tell everything about the movements of the bandits in the east of the river. The bandit army was familiar with the local terrain, and when they found it difficult for the official army to stop them, they would go to the mountains and forests.
The advantage of engaging in guerrilla warfare and wearing down the enemy will gradually be eliminated.
When Fang Xuedu was taken into custody again, Yao Pingzhong held his arms in the camp and said to Xiao Tang leisurely: "Xiao Jieshuai, that gang can be spared for the time being. The thief Xie who may be pardoned by the court in the future has been let go."
How should we deal with the grass bandits who are following Tian Hu and causing great evil?"
Xiao Tang smiled faintly, and a sense of determination and fierceness gradually emerged in his eyes, and said: "Since he is full of evil, of course he will be killed without mercy!"
Longjiao Mountain, located at the intersection of Jiangzhou, Gaizhou and Jinzhou, is named after two natural peaks, so it is also called Erfeng Mountain.
This mountain was originally called Yangjiao Mountain before the Wude reign of Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty. According to legend, during the Warring States Period, there were two sages named Yangjiao Sui and Zuo Botao who originally went to Chu as sworn brothers. However, when they trekked to this mountain, it was the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month.
The man's clothes were thin and his rations were running out, so Zuo Botao committed suicide and left all his clothes and rations to Yang Jiaosheng, leaving regrets and encouraging Yang Jiaosheng to focus on important things. Yang Jiaosheng was highly used in the Chu State, just as he became famous.
At this time, Yang Jiaosheng, who was supposed to enjoy the glory and wealth, resolutely returned to this mountain and committed suicide before his sworn brother, fulfilling the two people's wish to live and die together when they were sworn sworn brothers. In order to commemorate Yang Jiaosheng's martyrdom for his friend, later generations,
Name this place Yangjiao Mountain.
Although the name of this mountain has changed in the Tang Dynasty, some strongmen and bandits have also heard allusions about this mountain. However, the good stories of sages who died for righteousness in ancient times have changed in the green forest. Many grass bandits and bandits have also heard stories about this mountain.
In order to show their loyalty, they all chose to gather in this place to build a stronghold. Therefore, it was originally a place to praise the ancestors who sacrificed their lives to defend the road for the sake of friendship and faith, but now it has become a barren place where bandits are rampant, and many people in the surrounding areas are beaten and robbed by strongmen.
The Evil Tiger Village in the mountains is surrounded by dangerous peaks, and you have to walk the Pantuo Trail to get to the village. Therefore, even with a large number of officers and soldiers, it is difficult to find the hiding place of the strongman. At this time, Lu Zhen, the leader of the village, had an expression on his face.
Frustrated, he walked to his bedroom with slumped arms. The rag wrapped around his left arm was stained with a hint of bright red, which showed that he was obviously injured.
Originally, Lu Zhen was nicknamed the Nine-Headed Bird. He was eight feet long and extremely brave. He was good at wielding a nine-jointed wrought copper stick. Hundreds of people could not get close to him. To say that Lu Zhen was a strong man who fought against bandits back then. Originally, Lu Zhen was a strong man who fought against bandits.
In the early years, several villages around Longjiao Mountain were broken into by thieves, so Lu Zhen helped his fellow thieves to patrol and hunt down the thieves. In just three to five days, Lu Zhen captured and killed the leader of the thieves, destroyed the nest and destroyed the nest.
They wiped out all the strong men. Later, Lu Zhen became famous and was appointed as the head of the county government.
However, Lu Zhen became more and more arrogant and arrogant, and his rampage was even more beneficial. Later, Tian Hu led the thieves to cause chaos everywhere. Then Lu Zhen saw that the official army had no hope, and it was difficult for him to stop the army of thieves on his own. Instead, he occupied the dragon that he had wiped out in the past.
In Jiaoshan Evil Tiger Village, when General Tian Hu killed the officers and soldiers, throwing away their armor and throwing off their armor, and the whole place was in turmoil, he also acted as a strongman and took advantage of the situation to wreak havoc.
At this time, Lu Zhen realized that he was a robber who didn't care about good or evil and only cared about killing people as he pleased. He would kill any birdman that he didn't like with a knife, and he would catch any woman who caught his eye and enjoy it.
How can I feel the joy of being able to take life and death as the head of a county government office asking for money?
Originally, Fang Xuedu and Fan Yuming also encouraged him to join Tian Hu's gang. Lu Zhendang, who was not willing to just stay in a cottage on the border of Jinzhou, decided to help Tian Hu accomplish great things. The gold belt of murder and arson, if south of Hedong Road
Most of the state capitals can cede land and establish a country, kill people, steal wealth, and engage in sexual activities with great joy, and they can also have a founding father and a high official in the court to do it. Isn't this a big deal?
However, since a few days ago, Lu Zhen felt that something was wrong. He promised to take him to Fang Xuedu to meet Tian Hu, but now there is no news from Fan Yuming and Jinzhou and Gaizhou.
Several officers and soldiers fought fiercely.
Originally, Lu Zhen planned to go out and plunder the surrounding counties and villages according to his original method, but he happened to bump into a group of officers and soldiers. After a fierce fight between the two sides, Lu Zhen, who originally relied on bravery, found that his subordinates could not resist it at all.
Although he managed to escape, his left arm was stabbed by an officer who was not inferior to him in martial arts. After suffering a great loss, Lu Zhen led the remnants of his troops and fled back to the Evil Tiger Village in Longjiao Mountain.
He thought that even if the army could not stop him, he would only need to hide in the mountain stronghold due to the dangerous terrain. He expected that it would be very difficult for the army to find his hiding place, so how could he break through it so easily?
However, now the imperial court seems to have noticed the rampant banditry on Hedong Road. The newly arrived official troops are far more capable than the weak soldiers and generals in Hedong at that time. What if Tian Hu really cannot withstand the official army?
Lu Zhen has a duplicitous character. He said that he lost the previous time because he was outnumbered. But with my martial arts skills, I can guard the key terrain. I only need to show my skills in front of the army. If the government wants to recruit...
. Might as well surrender for the time being. In the current world, sooner or later there will be rebellion and trouble. Then I will be an official or a thief. It all depends on my own will. They say that if you move a tree, you will die, and if you move a person, you will live. This is not only
If you can take care of yourself, you can still live a very happy life in the future.
While Lu Zhen was thinking, a man from the village came to report to him: "Brother, a group of troops led by leader Fang Xuedu has arrived at the entrance of our village."
Lu Zhen frowned and spat: "This guy said he wanted to lead our brothers to defect to Tian Hu, just waiting to recruit a few more strong soldiers and horses, but I waited for a while and saw no movement.
! Now the government and the army are hunting hard, but this bird man is here again!"
However, Lu Zhen thought that it was still unclear whether Tian Hu would succeed or not. With strong men from all walks of life gathered in one place, not only could they fight the government and the army to the end, but it would also be easier to show their worth against Tian Hu and the government.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhen snorted coldly and said: "Well, since we have promised that guy to go to Tian Hu to do something big, we who are hanging out in the green forest must keep our word. Let him and that group of people go.
Enter the stronghold and then teach him to come to the hall to see me!"
