Chapter 010: Fate

To the south of Rushui, at the eastern foot of the Funiu Mountains, the hills are undulating, the mountains are reckless and blue, covered with snow, and there is a desolate image.

Two young men in leather armor, holding sharp blades, groped carefully in the forest, and when they felt that there was no one around, the two of them snorted white air and sat down.

The young man with a Chinese face wiped the sweat from his forehead, took out a piece of horse meat from his arms, put it in his mouth, and said while chewing: "Third Brother Xu, I didn't expect to follow the big officials to the south of the Yellow River, but it is even colder than the east of the river, brother, my hands and feet are going to freeze!"

Xu San nodded and said, "Who said it wasn't." When you and I were in the east of the river, in the winter of that year, these hands and feet were not frozen. As soon as this Jurchen came, the country hated the family feud, and you and my brother had to go south with the officials. However, Brother Tan Xiong, you have already killed two fans, and we will work together to kill Yan Huonu, and the revenge of your parents, brother and sister-in-law should also be avenged!"

At the mention of the family, the expressions of the two of them dimmed, and Tan Xiong said in a low voice: "How can the two of them!" I'm going to kill him ten or eight more until I've killed all these thieves!" ”

Xu San persuaded: "Good brother, don't worry, there will be a day." Since we followed the big officials to the south, the corpses of the fans have been all over the field, and the number of fans killed is 20,000, which is enough!"

"I've heard Commander Li say that there are more than 20,000! "

Tan Xiong came to his senses, nodded and said: "Third Brother Xu, the big official said, when the fan is repulsed, our salary will be all in hand, and when the time comes, according to the calculation of military merits, kill a fan Zi 10 taels of silver, and I already have 30 taels!"

"Of course, the silver is good, but I don't know, this Hedong can go back!"

Tan Xiong's eyes were a little gloomy, and his face was red from the cold, but he didn't seem to feel it.

"I'm already a ruined family, and I just want to follow the big officials to kill the captives, and I don't care about the rest."

Xu San nodded and said, "I also look forward to one day, when I return to Hedong, I can go to my parents' graves to pay respects." I don't know, is there that chance?"

"Definitely!"

Tan Xiong hurriedly comforted: "The heroes of the great officials will definitely bring their brothers back to Hedong!" Xu ......"

Seeing that Xu San next to him didn't speak, Tan Xiong turned his head and just said the word "Xu", and the rest of the words were stuck in his throat.

It turned out that everyone had two bright steel knives on their necks.

"Hero, don't do it, you have something to say!"

Xu San and Tan Xiong threw away the steel knife in their hands and slowly stood up.

Xu San secretly regretted that the two of them were engrossed, but they forgot that this was a place where thieves haunted. When he saw the people coming over, he and Tan Xiong glanced at each other, and they both secretly let out a sigh of relief.

A young man of about twenty years old walked out, he was tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but his body was slightly emaciated.

From the bun on his head and the clothes on his body, it can be clearly seen that this person is a Song person.

The young man looked at Xu Saner and the others, grabbed their hair, shook his head and said, "It is said that the Jurchens have braids and the top of their heads are bare, why are these two people the same as us?"

A young thin man in ragged clothes with a red face walked up, he looked at Xu Saner and the others, nodded and said, "Da Lang, I have heard that there are many men in Fanzi, and they all have hair like this. These two must be the Han'er in Fanzi!"

A stout young man also said in the back: "Da Lang, what are you talking about, according to me, pull it into the ravine next to it, and cut it with a knife, anyway, you have to eat and drink when you catch it back, this is cleaner!"

Xu San'er was anxious, and cold sweat broke out on his head. Xu San hurriedly said: "Two brothers, don't do it. We are the loyal and righteous army who just came from Hedong, a few days ago they annihilated the Fanzi of Luoyang, and last night they broke the thieves in Ruzhou City, killing a lot of Fanzi, you can inquire, you can't kill good people indiscriminately!"

Tan Xiong also shouted: "Brothers, we are the subordinates of the Loyal and Righteous Army, we want to go to Tokyo City to relieve the siege, and we must not hurt our own people!"

Several young men were stunned, and the tall young man scratched his head and said to a few people next to him: "Da Lang, Ruzhou City was indeed killing last night, could it really be that these people did it?"

Da Lang couldn't make up his mind, he thought for a moment, waved his hand and said, "Whether these guys are righteous or not, we don't know." Didn't we capture a few prisoners, just bring these two back and ask, anyway, my dad still has to ask, let's just bring people back!"

Xu San and Tan Xiong both breathed a sigh of relief, if they died so inexplicably, it would be too wronged!

"Great official, the two brothers we sent to the south are missing! I don't know if I fell into Fanzi's ambush?"

Not long after crossing the Rushui River, Zhang Xian hurriedly came up and said to Wang Song.

Now Zhang Xian is in charge of the front army, Li Yanxian controls the rear army, Zhang Heng and Dong Ping follow Wang Song and sit in the Chinese army, but Wang Song doesn't have to worry about it.

"Missing?"

Wang Song was stunned for a moment. Directly south of the front is Dengjiaqiao, seven mountains, two rivers and one field, which belongs to the place where birds don't, and the Jurchen army generally does not go.

Could it be that something really happened?

"Who is the brother who went, Emmanuel?"

"The ones sent are Xu San and Tan Xiong, these two are the scout leaders in the army, and they have killed Yan Huonu with the villain in Xijing City, and they have some means!"

"...... like this"

Wang Song thought for a moment and said, "Order the army to suspend its advance and continue to send spies to search." In short, you have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death. ”

Not long after the army stopped, a group of men and horses appeared in front of them and came straight towards the army.

The army was on guard, and when the people came closer, they found that it was Xu San and Tan Xiong who were in the lead. The group of people behind the two were dressed in coarse cloth and silk clothes, all dressed up by the Song people.

The first middle-aged man is in rags, quite tall, and looks at least one meter nine, the man has broad shoulders and thick body, powerful and powerful, with an iron wedge hanging on his waist, full of arrows behind his back, holding a big bow, judging from the dress, it seems to be a public dress.

Dong Ping couldn't help but praise: "What a good man!"

Zhang Xian took a few people to Wang Song. The tall middle-aged man in the lead stepped forward, clasped his fists and saluted: "Catch Niu Gao in Lower Lushan County, lead a group of righteous troops in Lushan County, and see Wang Daguan!"

It turned out to be a local rebel army, no wonder they were ragged and looked like beggars.

Wang Song nodded and said, "Niu Zhuangshi doesn't have to be polite!" Below is Wang Song, the envoy of the Hedong Loyal and Righteous Army, speaking of which, we are still fellow villagers, and below is the Yiyang people's clan. ”

Niu Gao was overjoyed in his heart, this recruit made the big official not only young, but also spoke kindly, and he was from Henan Mansion, so it was much more convenient to speak. He clenched his fists and said, "Niu Gao, thank you!"

Niu Gao? Wang Song's heart twitched, could it be that this middle-aged man is Niu Gao, the anti-gold general under the military tent of the Yue family in history?

Wang Song glanced at Niu Gao a few times, looked at the iron shovel on his waist, and noticed that the big bow in his hand did not have hundreds of catties of strength, and he was afraid that he would not be able to use these two things.

Wang Song nodded secretly. This middle-aged man's age and appearance characteristics can match, it seems that nine times out of ten, it is the Niu Gao in history, but it has not been added to the Yue family's army at this time.

In history, under Yue Fei's tent, the five were the most powerful. Zhang Xian and Wang Gui controlled the front army and the middle army, while Niu Gao, Dong Xian and Xu Qing were the most courageous.

As for the hundred people beheading Yang Zaixing, they don't know where they are at the moment.

"Brother Niu, now that the country is in danger, the Jurchens are raging, and the people of my Great Song Dynasty are suffering! Would you like to go to Tokyo with you to fight against the gold thieves and serve the country loyally?"

Whether it was Niu Gao or not, Wang Song threw out an olive branch, seeing that this person's skeleton is extremely large, at least he is also a warrior in the army.

Niu Gao was overjoyed, he had heard of the prestige of the loyal army. Just breaking Luoyang annihilated tens of thousands of gold troops, where could he make such a small fuss. Last night, he also captured a few prisoners of the Jin army, only to know that Ruzhou City had been broken by the loyal army, but he didn't expect to meet a real person now.

"The big officials, I am willing to join the command of the big officials! Expel the gold thief and serve the country with loyalty!"

There was a hint of ecstasy in Niu Gao's voice.

A commoner, suffering from poverty for 40 years, no wealth, and no connections, it is impossible to get ahead.

I didn't expect that a pie really fell from the sky today, and it hit him directly on his head, how could he not be ecstatic and excited!

Wang Song thought for a moment and said categorically: "Brother Niu, I see that you are brave, you will lead your own soldiers, serve under General Zhang Xian's account, and serve as the deputy commander of the former army, what do you think?"

Although Niu Gao is only an archer in a small county town, he has been mixed in the officialdom, and he knows that this deputy position is extraordinary, and there are as many as five or six hundred people below.

Niu Gao knelt down on one knee, solemnly clasped his fists and saluted: "The grace of the promotion of the great officials will never be forgotten in the end!"

Wang Song helped Niu Gao up, and before he could speak, the young man next to him asked, "Dad, now that you are under the command of a big official, are you a big official?" I'll go back and tell my wife and my mother about it, and make them happy!"

The people next to him laughed. Wang Song looked at Niu Gao's son, except for being a little thinner, he was also dignified and tall.

He nodded and said, "Your father is really an official." Wait a while and bring some food and silver back with the villagers, settle down the family, and we will go to Bianjing soon!"

Niu Gao glanced at his son, and said with a smile: "Big official, this is Niu Tong, the son of the villain, nothing else, only brute force, but people are smart, please don't blame the big official!"

"Brother Niu, what's to blame for this!"

Wang Song patted Niu Gao on the shoulder and said, "If Niu Tong is willing, let him follow this official and serve under the military tent of this official, and this official will enlighten him well!"

Niu Gao was overjoyed, and his son stayed by Wang Song's side, not only promoted quickly, but also much safer.

He hurriedly said to his son: "Tong'er, don't come forward yet, thank you to the officials!"

"Niu Tong, thank you for your appreciation! "

Niu Tong clasped his fists and bowed: "The heroes of the big officials are all over the world, and the title of "Race Overlord" is even more famous all over the world, and the villain is also willing to join the big officials because they killed the thieves. The villain must kill more gold thieves to repay the favor of the promotion of the big officials!"

Wang Song laughed, how can there be stupid people in this world, some are just smart people who pretend to be crazy and stupid!
