Chapter 812 Arrangements before the expedition, Hebei chain events
A few days later, the court also received a letter from Tong Guan, the general in charge of Yongxing, Fuyan, Huanqing, Qinfeng, Jingyuan, and Xihe six roads. Now that several years have passed since the last Song-Xia war, the court
The troops were well prepared, but the Liao Dynasty was tired of dealing with the uprising of various female straight tribes in the country. It once again launched a large-scale army to quell the troubles in the western frontier of the Song Dynasty in one fell swoop. It took advantage of Hengshan and was peeped from the north, Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Xia, achieved great success.
The merits of this world.
Even though the Xia Kingdom was a vassal in the previous period, it was not uncommon for the Xia people to invade the border, massacre and looting, and after Tong Guan's efforts and preparations in the past few years, the grain, grass, supplies, and civilians needed for the army in the northwest were affordable and sufficient.
After a certain period of time, it was imminent that the all-out war between Song and Xia would break out again. Zhao Ji then issued an edict and ordered Tong Guan and Zhong Shidao to be the commanders, with Cai Jing's son Cai Jing as the principal supervisor, and Xiao Tang, the Privy Councilor, as the deputy supervisor, signed a letter to send out twenty troops.
Yu Wanfen made three expeditions to the summer. While the Privy Council of Bianjing was dispatching troops, guards and supervisors, Xiao Tang was able to steal half a day's leisure in the mansion and spend some leisure time with his wife and children on the hot bed.
At dawn, Xiao Tang had already woken up. Tang Pengxiu, who was covered with a brocade quilt, was still asleep. Although she had already married into the Xiao family, she still looked like a young girl.
After a night of lingering, Tang Pengxiu's sleeping posture was like a lazy kitten. Coupled with the two nights of spring boudoir with Gao Zhanling yesterday, Xiao Tang logically should wake up later, perhaps because of
During this period of military service, he had become accustomed to getting up early. What's more, Xiao Tang also wanted to take advantage of this period to spend more time with his son Xiao Yun before leaving, so as to avoid having to deal with the child when he returned from the battlefield.
This guy shouldn't recognize me anymore.
After a few days of contact, the little guy got acquainted with Xiao Tang. Whether he was in the same room with Su Jinniang or holding him while playing in the back house of the mansion, at least this little ancestor would not be beaten.
Xiao Tang kept crying when he held her in his arms.
At this time in the study room, Xiao Yun was mumbling. While Xiao Tang was talking to Yan Qing, Xu Guanzhong and others, he pushed his butt forward and stretched out his chubby little hand from Xiao Tang.
Tang grabbed a piece of letter paper filled with cryptic text in his hand. The little guy blinked his big eyes and looked at the page in front of him. His laughter flowed from the corner of his mouth first. Xiao Yun rubbed the letter paper in his hand, and then
He was about to put it into his mouth, but luckily Xiao Tang had quick eyesight and snatched the ball of paper from the hands of the little ancestor.
Xiao Tang said sincerely that he usually feeds you nectar and all kinds of liquid food specially prepared by the cook. Why do you still want to take a bite of everything he sees? But at this time, he saw this little ancestor's face fall down and his mouth curled up.
, looking like he was going to burst into tears soon, Xiao Tang hurriedly picked him up and coaxed him, then ran out of the study to summon Jin'er, and handed the little Xiao Yun into her hands, and then he became dejected.
He returned to the study room.
Seeing Yan Qing, Xu Guanzhong and other brothers looking around and suppressing their smiles, Xiao Tang also laughed twice, and then flattened out the letter paper that was crumpled by Xiao Yun. It was made by Liang Shanzhai.
In the content sent by the spy Li Zongzheng, the first half of the news is not very important. It says that there are a pair of brothers named Mao Touxing Kong Ming and Du Xingxing Kong Liang in the Kongjiazhuang at the foot of Baihu Mountain in Qingzhou.
The two of them had a dispute with a rich man in their hometown and killed all of his family. Later, in order to avoid the lawsuit, they gathered five to seven hundred people and occupied Baihu Mountain and robbed their homes. Because the Kong brothers were fond of guns and sticks, they had a close relationship with Liangshan.
Song Jiang had a master-disciple relationship, so he was also attracted by Song Jiang to lead the strong men from Baihu Mountain to join Liangshanbo.
Although Kong Ming and Kong Liang most likely accepted the mediocre martial arts master Hei Sanlang as their master because of Song Jiang's reputation in the world, these two brothers are indeed of low ability and are both bullies by nature.
He had a crazy habit of killing his entire family when he had a conflict with a wealthy fellow in his hometown. Naturally, Xiao Tang would not treat such people as people worth winning over, but the second half of this secret letter
But it attracted Xiao Tang's attention.
Lei Heng, the infantry commander of Yuncheng County, Jeju, Shandong Province, had a quarrel with Bai Xiuying, who had been fighting in a courtyard in Bianliang, Tokyo, and later went to Yuncheng County to open a hook fence. In a rage, he injured Bai Xiuying's father, Bai Yuqiao, and was later killed.
Bai Xiuying was beaten by the new magistrate in court, and even tied her to the door of the Goulan Gate to show the public. Lei Heng killed Bai Xiuying in anger because his mother was humiliated, but was secretly released by Zhu Dian, a colleague in the county government, on the way to Jeju.
, and now he has taken his mother to join the family in Liangshan Bozhong.
In the village, Chao Gai and Song Jiang led Lei Heng up the mountain. At this time, they thought about Zhu Ding's past indulgences and were now planning to rescue Zhu Ding and come to Liangshan to join the gang. However, Zhu Ding deliberately let go of the condemned prisoners and was arrested.
The prisoner will be sent to the prison camp in Cangzhou after the sixty-day limit is over. Firstly, it is difficult to rescue the county prison. Secondly, Song Jiang and Lei Heng know Zhu Tong well.
The beautiful bearded man is very repelled by Luocao Lulin, so now Chao Gai, Song Jiang, Wu Yong and others in the village seem to be planning how to use some means to teach Zhu Ding to willingly defect to Liangshan and join the army.
Although Lei Heng had some evil deeds, he was also extremely filial, and Zhu Ding knew how to behave in the world and was a person who valued righteousness... It was okay for Lei Heng to go to Song Jiang when he was desperate, but in order to recruit Zhu Ding, who was unwilling to leave the grass, he just
They plan to recruit loyal and loyal men who will return to their hometowns and become good citizens after the expiration of their terms. Of course, Xiao Tang is also very aware of the despicable methods Song Jiang and others will use...
What's more, Xiao Tang now not only serves as a signatory to the Privy Council and the military envoy of Xin'an Army, but he is also the founding Marquis of Henghai County in Cangzhou who was granted the title of a fiefdom of 1,500 households. Guanzhi received the fiefdom's salary and salary.
They were also managed by Xiao Yi, Bian Xiang and other brothers who stayed in Xiaojiaji, Daming Prefecture. They took this opportunity to have frequent contacts with the local officials of Chai Jin and Chai in Henghai County. Therefore, Xiao Tang and others now also know that Chai
Jin's clan uncle Chai Huangcheng is currently living in Gaotang Prefecture...
There is also Gao Qiu who was scheming with Xiao Tang in Bianjing. His uncle and brother Gao Lian relied on their influence and had gone to Gaotang Prefecture with their families to take up the post of magistrate a few days ago. Hebei East Road Gaotang Prefecture and
Daming Prefecture is bordered by Enzhou, and the brothers who are the rivals of my brother have gone to the neighboring state to take up their posts. Of course, the close brothers who stayed behind in Xiaojiaji, Daming Prefecture, will not know anything about it...
Now I am about to go to the side court according to the order, but I am afraid that a series of chain events will happen in Hebei soon.
Seeing Xiao Tang hesitant and silent, Yan Qing and Xu Guanzhong looked at each other, and then asked Xiao Tang: "Du Shi was wandering around the green forest in Qingzhou. I heard that the Kong brothers in Baihu Mountain are not extravagant people. Yun
Brother Lei Heng, the winged tiger in the county, had seen it before. He was just an infantryman. Liangshanbo only had three new leaders, but why did his brother look hesitant? Brother Zhemo heard that Zhu Tong had a deep sense of loyalty.
, also had the idea of rescuing him? If it is true, I will send a letter to the brothers in Erlongshan. Since Zhu Dutou is going to be assigned to the prison camp in Cangzhou, it is best for him to get to know Chai Daguan.
A green forest hero, you can also ask him to take care of things over there."
"Then Zhu Tong didn't want to let his brother Lei Heng, mother and son die. He would rather ruin his own future and help him even if he was exiled from the army. Of course I am willing to help such a loyal person. But Zhu Tong
Whether he is willing to wait until the expiry of his expulsion period and return to his hometown, or whether he plans to live in a mountain village and die, it all depends on his own wishes, and I don't force it... I'm worried that it's not that Zhu Tong, but he is.
Lord Chai..."
Xiao Tang finished reading leisurely, and then said to Yan Qing: "Xiao Yi, not only the brothers in Daming Mansion and Qingzhou have to be on call at any time, I'm afraid you also have to go to Hebei to have a personal experience."
