Chapter 790 Hedong Green Forest's Boss, Ren Xia Xiao Tang
"Now that the master is approaching, where has Xiao Jieshuai gone!?"
Luo Jian asked somewhat angrily, looking a bit glaring at his beard. Now the generals under the Jingnan Army, as well as the Imperial Guards commanded by generals such as Wang Huan, Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo and others left Taiyuan Mansion.
, and arrived at Tongtian County of Wei Sheng Army. After a short period of reorganization, they were ready to return to Bianliang, Tokyo.
However, when Xiao Tang returned to his temporary residence in the county town, he saw Qiong Ying, Ye Qing and others, but disappeared again. Luo Jian rushed to the empty space, and immediately felt a little annoyed, and immediately asked Wang Jin, Hua Rong
, Niu Gao and others inquired about Xiao Tang's whereabouts.
Niu Gao scratched his head, wondering in his heart, while Wang Jin looked at Hua Rong, who had been fighting with Xiao Tang for a long time. Hua Rong laughed and said: "Luo Xueyu, there is no need to worry, my brother originally had some old friends in Hedong that he wanted to meet.
, but a few days ago, there was an important matter to suppress the bandits in Hedong, and there was no time to spare. Now that the great work has been accomplished, brother Xiao Tang was invited by his old friends, so he will briefly talk about it for the time being. Several commanders and Luo Xueyu went there first.
There is no harm in returning to the capital."
Luo Jian couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this. He was a martial arts scholar with a strong character, and he had always been angry that the powerful traitors like Cai Jing, Tong Guan, and Gao Qiu in the court were gradually gaining power. However, he was just as powerful as he was in the court.
Zheng Juzhong, who has political energy, has always planned to compete with Cai Jing and other powerful ministers. He also found that Xiao Tang, who had been in the Bianjing Forbidden Army, was fighting openly and secretly with the traitor Gao Qiu, who was also a jester.
He was a military officer, but he seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with Cai Jing's past methods of manipulating government affairs. He should also be a useful talent, so Luo Jian was willing to do his best to support Xiao Tang and make this rising star in the court also a priority for the officials.
The red people win over to their own camp.
However, during the days when Xiao Tang was guarding Hedong, Luo Jian also discovered that although Xiao Tang was upright and powerful, he not only worked hard for the people of Hedong Road to live and work in peace and contentment, but also had many commendable things about uniting the army in battle, but
There were times when Xiao Tang did not act according to the usual routine, and he seemed to have a little more worldliness in his life. Although the emperor issued an edict and did not set a return date, since all official matters have been taken care of, he must hurry up and get there as soon as possible.
The most important thing is to go back to the court to protect the memorial and meet with the officials. But at this time, Xiao Tang has to meet some of his old friends? Although Luo Jian now regards Xiao Tang as his Shangguan and political ally, but
I couldn't help but complain in my heart that he was too carefree and casual in doing things.
On the side, Wang Huan, Xu Jing, and Han Cunbao, who had always had a close relationship with them and knew each other well, looked at each other, as if Wang Huan and Xu Jing, who were also experienced in the Forbidden Army in the past, had roughly guessed what Xiao Tang
The reason why he acted more secretly was because the so-called old friends he was going to meet were also people who were inseparable from the Green Forest.
Since Xiao Tang is praised as a knight in the world, there are also some close friends in his Green Forest. However, this time Xiao Tang is clearly here to conquer the bandits in the Green Forest in Hedong. If he rashly fights with other people in the Green Forest,
Contact with the reckless warriors taught other officials and generals that they would inevitably be criticized. People like Wang Huan and Xu Jing who had become well-known in the green forest and officialdom naturally had more enlightened ideas, so although they were roughly
Guessed Xiao Tang's intention, but tacitly chose to remain silent...
And Xiao Tang, who had just wiped out almost all the Green Forest forces on Hedong Road who were obsessed with murder and arson, now invited another group of Green Forest soldiers to the stronghold.
In the large village of Tongtian Gorge in Taihang Mountain, there were gathered loyal warriors from the two rivers and villages in the green forest. There were more than ten heroes from the village, such as Fu Xuan, Meng De, Liu Ze, Jiao Wentong and other heroes. They ordered them to kill pigs and cattle.
A banquet was held in the courtyard to entertain Xiao Tang and other people who came to the village for a banquet.
Now he was not serving as the commander of the army, but had to deal with these rugged heroes. Xiao Tang quickly integrated into this environment. Accompanying him were Xiao Jiasui, Xu Guanzhong, Shi Xiu, Shi Jin,
Pang Wanchun and Wu Song, who claimed to be strange and emotional. Wu Song, who had just been promoted to the second general of Yanyan Road by Liu Fa, saw his sworn brother Xiao Tang open his mind and chatting and laughing with several strongman leaders in the green forest, although there was always some feeling in his heart.
There is a sense of contrast, but after all, Wu Song also knows that Xiao Tang always has a close relationship with the characters in the Green Forest, and has also heard about the style and methods of the Green Forest Rebels in the Taihang Mountains. Therefore, Wu Erlang, who also attaches great importance to Jianghu loyalty, is not like Fu Xuan, etc.
What kind of feeling of rejection arises in the people in the green forest.
While Xiao Tang was drinking and chatting with Fu Xuan and others, although he did not reveal all of his secret plans, Xiao Tang rushed to Tongtian Gorge twice, which completely convinced the leaders of the Taihang Mountains.
Xiao Renxia, who has moved the world, is sympathetic to the loyal heroes who are in trouble in the green forest. He will not kill them all indiscriminately, and will even secretly support them sincerely.
But after thirty days of drinking, Fu Xuan, Meng De, Liu Ze, and Jiao Wentong heard Xiao Tang Youyou say: "The river borders the Xia Kingdom to the east and the Liao Dynasty to the north. It is the strategic location for our military strategists in the Song Dynasty. I believe you all
Heroes all know it very well, but the Song and Xia have been fighting endlessly for nearly a hundred years, and have been in stalemate for a long time. The Qiang people of the Xia State not only often invade the territory, burn, kill, loot and massacre the Song people, but Hedong is also a place where bandits gather, and the state capitals
The people in the counties and towns suffered from military disasters and bandits, and now they are finally able to live in peace. However, Hedong is the gateway to the northern region of the Song Dynasty. Regardless of Xia, Liao... or even other northern foreign tribes, if they raise troops to invade and plunder, I am afraid that the people in Hedong will suffer again.
Suffering from swordsmanship.
The soldiers and horses along the Taihang Mountains led by the brave men are mainly righteous, do not invade the prefectures and counties, and do not harm the good people. However, the lower sentiments cannot be upheld, so that the slanderous and sycophantic dictatorship forces you to temporarily live in the green forest. Since the bandits on the Hedong Road
There are so many, and I don’t know if there will be a second Tian Hu in the future. At least at this time of the year, Guizhai’s soldiers and horses are the most numerous and powerful among the green forests in Shanxi. The other green forest villages in Hedong are all as good as the chain villages in Taihang Mountain.
The soldiers are strong and the horses are strong... You strong men always respect the moral principles of the world and do not commit cruelty to innocent people. I hope you leaders will take care of yourself as to how you will behave in the future."
After listening to Xiao Tang's words, Fu Xuan and others also understood the meaning of Xiao Tang's words. It was not because there were so many soldiers and horses along the Taihang Mountains that he deliberately showed favors to them and wanted to use them, the strong leaders in the green forest. It was also because they were not like Tian.
The Tigers and others were ruthless thieves who committed murder and arson, so Xiao Tang was willing to get acquainted with them and help each other, leaving a way out for many brothers who were forced to live in the chain village in Taihang Mountain. If they really wanted to be like Tian Hu
If they take advantage of the turmoil of the current situation to rebel and create chaos, and cede territory and become king, then sooner or later Xiao Tang will come and kill them all, just like sweeping away the thieves who followed Tian Hu to do evil and annihilate them all.
After Fu Xuan and Meng De looked at each other, and after pondering for a moment, he suddenly reached out and clapped his hands. Not long after, several strong men came to the banquet with their heads full of fragrant roasted beef. After all, they were the leaders of strong men. I also don’t want to be irritated by the evil officials in the government, so I just want to do some things that are prohibited by the government and there are many green forests and grass.
What's more, Fu Xuan and other leaders are now instructing the cooks in Taihang Village to prepare this roasted whole beef. There is also a Jianghu ceremony that must be carried out here.
Fu Xuan suddenly stood up and circled Xiao Tang, Xiao Jiasui, Xu Guanzhong and others, and said loudly: "Thanks to Xiao Renxia and all the heroes for coming to our village, you also taught me how to make the village of Tongtian Peak in Taihang Mountain shine brightly. I apologize for the poor hospitality in our village, but for this roasted whole cow... I still need to trouble Xiao Renxiaxun to personally hold the cow's ear and cut off the first cut."
