Chapter 068: People's Heart
In the troubled times, everyone's fate is involuntarily, as long as they can gather a few people and horses, occupy one side, peddlers and pawns, lead cars and sell pulp, etc., they are all grass kings.
If the time and place are favorable, the soldiers are strong and strong, entrenched on one side, and the feudal towns are divided, it is not impossible.
In the big village of Jianling, a group of bandits are putting on a feast, staggering, and eating a feast.
"Brother Xian, you have made great contributions to the cottage, and the eldest brother will give you another cup!"
Fu Qing's face turned red, raised the wine bowl, and said to the young scholar next to him who was dressed as a scholar.
"Big brother, you and my own brother, you are tormenting the little brother!"
The young man quickly stood up, raised the wine bowl, drank half a bowl, and complimented:
"The eldest brother is strong in martial arts, has the courage of ten thousand people, and loves his brothers, so the brothers naturally look forward to you. It's also the right thing to do, big brother Hugh wants to see outside!"
In the words of the young scholar, there are seven or eight points of sincerity. At least, Fu Qingneng easily killed the former owner of the village, Li Hu, and incorporated his people, so it can be seen that this person is not simple.
You must know that Li Hu has been a coward for more than ten years, and there are a large group of dead friends around him, but he was killed on the spot by Fu Qing, who had not long been in the cottage, and the heroes in the cottage did not even bubble.
"Brother Xian, you are really good at talking! Don't push, sit down and talk. ”
Fu Qing laughed, drank the wine in the bowl, and wiped the wine on his beard. The minions next to him hurriedly poured him on.
"Brother Xian, you have been down the mountain these days, but you have made a lot of food, not to mention the relief of the cottage, and you have also recruited so many brothers."
Fu Qing said with a smile: "When the time comes, we will be strong and strong, brother and I will take my brothers to kill into the Daimyo's Mansion, and our brothers will also move to the main hall of the Daimyo's Mansion, divide one side, and taste the taste of this prefect's father!"
No wonder he's so complacent. Now this cottage is thriving, there are more and more refugees who come to defect, and there are a lot of strong people in the middle.
"Big brother is right! In this world, food and people are kings! If you want to live, you have to speak with the knife in your hand!"
He Jin, the third master next to him, was elated and echoed loudly, his face shaking.
"Big brother with knives, guns, sticks, horseback and archery, that is proficient in everything. With a spear in his hand, I'm afraid that the "Saibawang" can't compare!"
He Jin's words caused a burst of laughter from the bandit leaders in the lobby, and the atmosphere was even more enthusiastic.
"What the three masters said is that if you talk about this martial art, the kung fu in the hands of the eldest brother, I'm afraid that Wang Tiegun can't be compared. Guys say, don't you?"
The bandit leaders roared and said yes, and some people even said loudly: "Compared with the eldest brother, Wang Tiegun is in vain." He didn't meet his eldest brother, otherwise there would be no Wang Iron Spear in the world, but Fu Iron Spear!"
Wang Song took the Hedong Loyal and Righteous Army, killed a lot of gold soldiers in Xiongling, and rescued the seed master, this matter has been known to everyone among the heroes of Taihang Mountain, and naturally it has reached the ears of Fu Qing and others.
"If that's the case, thank goodness! But to be honest, big brother, I really want to compete with that king iron spear to see who wins and who loses!"
Before Fu Qing's words fell, He Jin complimented loudly: "Then naturally the eldest brother won!" The eldest brother's martial arts are world-famous, and if he wants to be the emperor, our brothers will have wine to drink, meat to eat, and little women to sleep every day, and the brothers will be happy!"
Fu Qing laughed loudly: "Big brother, I am a potter in Weizhou, if I really become the emperor, there will be green smoke on the ancestral tomb." I can't even think about it!"
"Heroes don't ask about their origins, big brother Hugh wants to be too humble!"
The bandit leaders laughed, raised their wine bowls one after another, touched Fu Qing, and then drank them all.
"Big brother, third brother, although we don't lack food and drink now, and we are also full of people and many brothers, but it may not be easy for the eldest brother to enter the Daimyo's Mansion and establish himself as the king."
Zhang Yong shook his head slowly.
"Second brother, what do you mean by this?"
He Jin slapped the table with a "snap", stood up, and shouted angrily: "Could it be that you want to take refuge in the government and take your brothers to Zhao'an?"
Since Zhang Yong went up the mountain, he has always been at odds with Zhang Yong. He followed Li Hu, in this Taihang Mountain, entrenched for some years, the seat of the second village master sat firmly, who knew that as soon as Zhang Yong came, he took it down.
If it weren't for the fact that Fu Qing was his eldest brother and saved his life, he would have already gone berserk.
"Third brother, don't be impatient!"
Fu Qing straightened up, patted He Jin's shoulder, and said warmly: "Don't keep a straight face, and sit down to see what the second village master thinks."
Zhang Yong sighed in his heart, and the sentences of "third brother" and "second village master" had already explained his position in Li Hu's heart, and also explained his words, which swept Fu Qing's sexuality.
It seems that he has to plan ahead to deal with the dilemma in front of him. On the day of Bao Buqi, he was cut off by Fu Qing and He Jin, who had a small belly and chicken intestines.
"Big brother, third brother, sit down, and listen to my brother."
Zhang Yong persuaded the two to sit down, and then sat down, continued to laugh, and continued.
"Now that the Jin people are raging and Hebei is erosive, it is indeed a good time to conquer the city and strengthen its strength. But have the two brothers ever thought about it, once the sky turns cold and the Jurchen army goes south, what will you and my brother do?"
Fu Qing couldn't help but be stunned, and blurted out: "Let's not violate the river water with the Jurchen people's well water, he takes his Yangguan Road, and I take my single-plank bridge, what are you worried about him doing?"
He Jin also shouted loudly: "That is, we occupy the Daimyo's Mansion and deal with him Jurchen birds?" Could it be that he also wants to come and take the Daimyo's Mansion?"
Zhang sighed secretly in his heart, how could he be in the company of such a short-sighted mediocre person. They really thought that the Jurchens, like them, were just robbers who wanted to rob some property!
"The Daimyo's Mansion Hebei is a major land, the northern barrier of Tokyo City, how can the Jurchens be occupied by you and my brother!"
Zhang Yong's face did not change, and said patiently: "If we occupy the Daimyo's Mansion and the Jurchens wave their army to attack, are our brothers their opponents?"
There was a moment of silence in the lobby. Those unruly people also closed their mouths under Fu Qing's cold gaze.
"Second brother, in your opinion, what should we brothers do, should we stay on this mountain for the rest of our lives?"
After a while, Fu Qing spoke, and his tone softened.
"I'm afraid it's not easy for us to stay in the mountains."
Seeing that everyone was looking at himself, Zhang Yong shook his head, a group of native chickens and tile dogs, useless nests.
"Our cottage is stuck in the waterways of Hedong and Hebei, even if our brothers don't provoke the Jurchens, I'm afraid they will come to the door."
After a short silence, He Jin said in a low voice: "The left and right are not spared, could it be that our brothers really want to abandon the cottage and flee back to Taihang Mountain?"
Once the Jurchens occupy this place, everyone's wealth and food routes will be cut off, and they will return to Taihang Mountain, and they don't know if they can live that kind of hard life.
"Big brother, brothers, there are only two ways to go now, either vote for the Jurchens, or flee back to the Taihang Mountains."
Zhang Yong said eloquently, even he felt that he had a sense of floating lupine scarf.
"As for taking refuge in the Great Song Dynasty, don't even think about it. Where to go, please ask the eldest brother to make his own decisions. ”
"Second brother, what do you say if we vote for the Jurchens?"
Fu Qing smiled, looked at everyone in the hall, and his tone was calm.
"If we vote for the Jurchens, we don't have to stay in the mountains anymore, the brothers can be promoted and make a fortune, and they all have a way out, glorify the ancestors, and seal their wives and sons, don't you say?"
Before Zhang Yong could speak, a bandit leader next to him had already shouted angrily.
"Big brother, what do you say! The Jurchens killed my father and mother, I have a common enmity with them, and I take refuge in the Jurchens, this kind of thing that is inferior to beasts, I Liang Hu can't do it!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Seeing Liang Hu stand up, several bandits next to him echoed in unison.
"Fanzi burns, kills and loots, does all kinds of evil, and must not vote for them!"
"My brother also died in the bloody battle with Fanzi, I can't ignore my conscience and recognize the thief as my father, I can't do this!"
Several bandit leaders were noisy, and Fu Qing's eyes were hideous, and he looked at He Jin.
He Jin suddenly pulled out his knife, turned around and stabbed Liang Hu in the chest.
As soon as he made a move, several bandits next to him stepped forward together, raising knives and guns at the same time, and several opposing bandit leaders were caught off guard, and they were cut down and stabbed to the ground, and a terrible scream sounded in the lobby.
He Jin pulled out the knife, and the blood in Liang Hu's chest spurted out, making He Jin's chest blood-red. Liang Hu looked at He Jin with blank eyes and slowly fell down.
Zhang used sweat to trickle down his forehead. I thought that this Fu Qing was a rough man, stupid and ignorant, but now he knew that he had underestimated the true god.
In today's lobby, this massacre was obviously premeditated, otherwise how could Liang Hu, a fierce man, be killed on the spot, but without the slightest resistance!
From this point of view, this Fu Qing arranged this massacre through his own mouth. I am still self-righteous and complacent, which is really stupid.
"Carry the bodies out and bury them well, after all, they are all brothers who have lived and died together."
Fu Qing shook his head, his face full of pathos. But when he turned his head, his face was hideous.
"Big brother does this for the sake of our cottage brothers. People go to high places, water flows to low places, and brothers go to the mountains to fall grass, and they don't have food to eat, in order to live a happy life. ”
He Jin shouted loudly: "In the cottage, the words of the eldest brother are the rules!" If someone is not convinced, just look at the fate of Liang Hu and others!"
The bandit leaders in the lobby, including Zhang Yong, were all shocked, and said loudly together: "It's all up to the eldest brother to be the master!"
Fu Qing laughed, his face was full of spring breeze, he waved his hand, asked everyone to sit down, and raised the wine bowl.
"Brothers, from now on, with my Fu Qing a bowl of rice to eat, I won't let the brothers go hungry! I will definitely lead my brothers to eat meat and drink wine, and share blessings and hardships!"
Everyone raised their bowls and drank them all again, and began to laugh and laugh, and let go of eating and drinking.
Zhang Yong looked at the blood stains that still existed on the ground, and couldn't help but shiver in his heart. Staying in the cottage by yourself, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse?
The plaque on the door "Zhongyi Hall" looks so dazzling under the afternoon sun.
