Wu Song, who showed great power, captured Ye Lunkui, the leader of Qiao Bian Village, and slaughtered several party leaders, and almost all the rest of the Xia tribe collapsed without a fight. Although there was still a small group of party members in the north of Hedong Road that collapsed.
Riding on the river, but it has no effect.
Xiao Tang, who was originally in charge of the Central Army with Liu Fa, dispatching troops to annihilate the party tribes, also saw Guan Sheng, Xuanzan, and Hao Siwen, who were originally ordered to go to Tongdan County to hunt for Tianhu, the leader of the Hedong bandits, but turned back halfway.
I was told that Tian Hu, who was causing trouble in Hedong, died in Qiong Ying's hands.
Qiongying, who was still in her prime, actually killed her father-killing enemy with her own hands. When Xiao Tang learned about this, he couldn't help but be shocked for a while. After all, he was also a famous figure in the green forest in Hedong. The government offered a reward for her arrest. Xiao Tang also wanted to eradicate this troublemaker.
The culprit spent a lot of thought, but he did not expect that Tian Hu would end up dead at the hands of a charming daughter. The Qiu family's surviving daughter avenged her father with her own hands. I am afraid that this news will spread like wildfire soon and become a legend in the world.
It is a topic that people and even ordinary traffickers talk about after dinner.
However, Xiao Tang thought about it again. Although it made him feel very inappropriate that Qiong Ying, a half-year-old daughter, had killed people for revenge at such an age, considering Qiong Ying's ambition and interest, she would still do it.
That womanly Qiong Yadong will not become a delicate and quiet lady. It may be a good thing for her to take revenge now. At least Qiong Ying should have a deep understanding of the cruelty of war now, and she will not be able to do so in the future.
He panicked at the sudden danger.
Now that Tian Hu, who was full of evildoers, has been killed, and most of the Dangxiang tribes who entered the Song Dynasty as bandits have also been annihilated, the situation in Hedong has finally stabilized. The next step is to report to the court and deal with the aftermath of the banditry.
.
In the following days, Luo Jian, Xu Jing and others who were in charge of Tongtian County also rushed to Taiyuan Mansion. After meeting with Liu Fa, Kang Jiong and other generals of the Western Army, they discussed with Xiao Tang to finalize the distribution of warehouses in various counties in various states.
If there was any problem, he had to ask the imperial court to allocate money and food from the surrounding prefectures to provide relief to the Li people who had been harmed by bandits on Hedong Road. After that, Xiao Tang compiled a writing list and ordered the postal officers to go to Bianjing to submit a petition to the imperial court.
In addition, Tian Biao, Tian Shi, Tian Ding and other relatives of Tian Hu were also liberated to Tokyo by Xiao Tang. The rest of the bandit leaders, except Fang Xuedu, were captured and then turned back to help the army break through the bandit camp.
Except for those who had meritorious service, all of them were taken to the Weisheng Army in Tongtian County and Cao was beheaded. At the same time, generals from the New Army and other military divisions who had made contributions in several battles, and even Hedong who provided money and food to help Xiao and Tang pacify the victims.
Wu Li, Zhao Yuanwai and others from the local tycoons along the way also sent people to submit to the Privy Council a war record of rewards and punishments according to their merits, and temporarily deployed new troops to guard the city and protect the environment and the people.
While dealing with the aftermath of the banditry in Hedong with Liu Fa, Luo Jian and Taiyuan Magistrate Yang, Xiao Tang came to the bedroom where Wu Song was recuperating and adjusting his breathing. As soon as he opened the door, he saw that most of Wu Song's upper body was bandaged.
The wound was wrapped in white cloth, but Da Ma Jin Dao was sitting on the bed, while Li Yongqi and his son Li Shifu were sitting opposite.
When Li Yongqi saw Xiao Tang walking into the room, he immediately stood up and saluted, while Li Shifu was beaming with joy. He hurriedly said to Xiao Tang: "Master, this Wu Dutou turns out to be Xie's sworn brother. No wonder he is such a hero."
Yes, even my father said that none of the generals in the Taiyuan Prefecture’s military department can be as extravagant as Wu Dutou."
Wu Song was delighted when he heard this and said to Li Shifu: "Boy, do you want my brother to be your master? He and I have both been taught by a famous teacher, so you should call me uncle!"
Xiao Tang smiled slightly, and when he walked a few steps further, he suddenly discovered that in addition to the faint smell of herbs, the stronger smell in the room was indeed the smell of strong liquor. Xiao Tang then shook his head and said: "Brother Wu, it is not advisable to drink alcohol after being injured by Jin Cu's knife. You must wait until you recover from the injury before drinking alcohol."
Wu Song laughed loudly and said: "What's the matter? That thief chief can't kill me with a knife or a gun, how can he kill me after eating a few bottles of wine? A bird appears in his mouth, and when I think of the smell of wine, my throat starts to itch. Brother, you know that you are intoxicated with wine, but you can’t wait for this!”
Li Yongqi was heartbroken when he witnessed Wu Song's majestic fighting posture that night. Seeing his open-minded and heroic character, Li Yongqi was even more in awe of him. He also said: "Wu Dutou is truly extraordinary. He is a hero like a god. If not, In this way, how can we capture or kill a group of thieves and chieftains in the midst of a rebellious army?"
When Wu Song heard this, he waved his big hand and said majestically: "As you can see clearly, I only have one head and two arms. I don't have the three heads and six arms. I am also an ordinary mortal body. We are heroes in the army. With my ability to endure hardships, I am doing things like licking blood from the edge of a knife and making thousands of cuts. I just feel uncomfortable if we treat each other with heart-to-heart and politeness."
After hearing what Wu Song said, Li Yongqi was no longer as cautious as before. Wu Song turned to look at Li Shifu and said with a smile: "Boy, if you want to be like your father and strive to stand out on the battlefield, Don’t slack off in practicing martial arts, I’ll be looking for you to learn some moves in the next two days!”
Hearing this, Li Shifu's cheeks seemed to have a slight blush due to excitement, and he immediately nodded hastily. After a few more words, Li Yongqi also knew that Xiao Tang and Wu Song, the sworn brothers, had not seen each other for a long time, so he invited Ci left with Li Shifu.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Tang breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "Now that most of the Dangxiang tribes have been wiped out, and Tian Hu has been killed, the situation in Hedong... has finally stabilized. "
Wu Song picked up another pot of rice wine from his side, drank a big gulp, wiped his mouth carelessly, and joked: "What kind of extravagant people are Tian Hu's birds? Although the leader of the Green Forest in Hedong is dead, but he occupied the Isn't the strong man who builds towns and fortresses in foreign lands and oversees green forests and mountains right in front of me?"
Xiao Tang smiled and shook his head, then let out a long sigh and said: "No matter how bad my brother is, he can't be compared with that fellow Tian Hu. Second brother Wu, you have been in the army for a long time, you must also know that thieves are like combs." , the soldiers have passed like a grate, and now our military and political affairs in the Song Dynasty are corrupt. Except for the Western Army guarding the border court, the rest of the military commanders make little moves but mostly insult the people. Although I hold an important position in the Bianjing court, I am a traitor, or If you join the trend, you will either make enemies on all sides because you want to reform and reform. Although the court still has available troops, it will eventually suffer the consequences in the long run.
However, the likes of Tian Hu in the green forest say they are fighting against the tyranny of the government, but the thieves have no taboos and will harm the common people wherever they go. Among the officers and soldiers, there are black sheep with corrupt military discipline, and there are also many cruel and ruthless thugs among the strong men in the green forest. Allowing them to act recklessly will only force more innocent people to become thieves. At that time, many innocent and good people who have been bullied will have no choice but to become ferocious in order to survive, and they will most likely turn into beasts that harm other people. Disciple, if this continues, the world will become rotten.
Most of the rebellious thieves did not engage in production and could only plunder, burn and kill. As the saying goes, if the warehouses are solid, the world will be safe. The common people were killed or fled by the rebellious thieves, and even turned into evil parties who helped the tyrants to commit crimes. The country of the Song Dynasty was restored.
I can withstand a few twists and turns, so brother, I can only..."
Before Xiao Tang finished speaking, Wu Song also took a deep breath and said: "When you are an official, you kill evil thieves, and when you are an official, you get rid of thieves, right? That's all, since I still want you to regard you as my confidant brother, I naturally know it very well.
Your character. What else can I do now? I have to turn a blind eye, so as not to expose what you are planning... The imperial court is ignorant, and powerful officials are jealous of talents and talents, and are closed-minded.
I know all about the virtuous path, but you told me at the beginning that there are alien races rising in the north of the Liao Kingdom. You support the Green Forest Rebel Army and conduct military campaigns in Liaodong with the intention of exploring the enemy's reality. But how could Naoshi's daughter be born so that I didn't?
I don’t know, but if you talk about your official plans, I’m afraid there’s still something big to do.”
