Chapter Seventy-Eight: Heroes on the River
The East Hulu River and the three cliffs are located in the south of Tieshigou Mountain, respectively located on the side of the Donghu Road River and the West Hulu River, the distance between the two places is only 123 miles, and it takes less than an hour to walk.
The two places are located in the middle of Lou Fu, Guandi Mountain and Jiaocheng, more than 70 miles away from Lou Fu, more than 70 miles away from Jiaocheng County, and about 60 miles away from Guandi Mountain.
Ren Liang's Dazhai stands on the cliff next to the East Huluchuan River, backed by Longwangling, on the left is the old crow ditch, on the right is the Donghu Luchuan River, the terrain is extremely dangerous.
Wang Gang and Leopard Five's Dazhai, then stand on the three cliffs in the middle of the east and west two gourd rivers, this big village is more dangerous than the East Hulu River, there is only one sheep intestine trail in and out, there is a man when the danger of ten thousand people can not be opened.
Historically, after Wang Gangbao Wu was booby-trapped by Xu Dingchen, Ren Liang also occupied the three cliffs, and relied on this natural danger to resist the Qing army for more than 20 years.
It's just that the place is dangerous enough, that is, the place is too small, the cattle, sheep and horses have to be circled on the mountainside, and the troops have to defend it, and it is too cold on the top, and the cold wind in winter can blow people into popsicles.
Because of this, Ren Liang did not occupy the three cliffs, and he did not stop Wang Gang and Leopard Wu when they set up a village there.
Today's top priority is to beware of those surnamed Qin.
Wang Gang and Bao Wu naturally knew this, and as soon as they settled down, the two went to Donghuluchuan to discuss the alliance with Ren Liang.
Ren Liang knew that these two people could not achieve a big deal, and he could see it from the attack on Mengjiazhuang, but he still met these two people, and reached an offensive and defensive alliance with them to deal with the surnamed Qin together.
There are more than 700 people in the three cliffs of Wang Gang and Leopard 5, and there are nearly 1,000 people in Ren Liang, and the two families together have more than 1,700 people, which is more than twice as many people and horses surnamed Qin.
Even so, the two families did not dare to leave their territory rashly, and only sent spies to sentry in the area of Tieshigou Mountain day and night to prevent the surname Qin from sneaking in.
On this day, Ren Liang was carefully checking the map in his village, and suddenly heard a report from his subordinates, saying that the surname Qin was coming, and he took twenty or thirty horsemen on the other side of the Donghulu River, saying that he wanted to talk to Ren Dangjia.
Ren Liang frowned and thought about it, and finally took dozens of people down the mountain to meet the surnamed Qin.
For this person, he was jealous and appreciative.
Whether it was Mengjiazhuang taking the chestnut in the fire, or intercepting and killing officers and soldiers, or breaking through the Bashan Tiger with 200 horsemen, all kinds of behaviors amazed him.
Ren Liang thought that if it were himself, he would never be able to do it like this.
This person surnamed Qin is far different from ordinary people in terms of wisdom, courage and courage, and he is not a simple character.
If you can take this person for your own use, you will definitely be like a tiger with wings, and the world's great plans are just around the corner.
But the surnamed Qin doesn't seem to have the heart to surrender to others at all, otherwise he wouldn't have been holding on to Mengjiazhuang.
Moreover, this guy just attacked and killed the officers and soldiers of Ninghua Qianhu not long ago, and then became the Lou Fu patrol envoy, this behavior of not an official, a thief, a soldier or a bandit, made him scratch his head and couldn't see through what the other party wanted to do.
He only knows that he must be more wary of this guy, otherwise he won't know what to do if he is eaten one day.
I don't know what this guy is going to talk about.
When I arrived at the Donghuluchuan River, I saw twenty or thirty horsemen standing by the river from a distance, and the one in front was surnamed Qin.
Ren Liang took his fifty or sixty people to stand by the river, looking across the dry river.
On the other side of the river, Qin Chuan arched his hand and said with a smile: "Ren is in charge, I am fortunate to be lucky." ”
Ren Liang also bowed back and said, "Chief Steward Qin, don't come unharmed, dare to ask Grand Steward Qin why he came to my East Huluchuan?" ”
"Since Ren is a fast man and a fast man, then Qin Mou said bluntly, Qin Mou came this time to make an appointment with Ren Moujia, so as not to spoil the harmony between the two families."
"Oh?" Ren Liang raised his eyebrows slightly, "How about the three chapters of the law?" ”
Qin Chuan cleared his throat and said, "First, please also ask Ren to restrain his subordinates, not to cross the Tieshigou Mountain, Qin will never step over the Tieshigou Mountain in addition to attacking the three cliffs." ”
"Second, I have a personal grudge with Wang Gangbao and the fifth is a personal grudge, and it has nothing to do with Ren's family, and I ask Ren to not interfere in the dispute between me and these two."
"Third, we can cooperate and trade between the two families, and I know that there are many horse farmers in this vicinity who are under the protection of Ren Zhuang, and they produce a lot of good horses every year, and I can exchange grain for horses at the market price."
After hearing what he said, Ren Liang raised his head and laughed, and did not make a statement, but asked: "Steward Qin, you are receiving the salary of the Ming Dynasty, but you want to do the business of killing heads, Ren wants to know, what do you want?" ”
Qin Chuan didn't answer and asked: "Ren is in charge of the flag and rebels, what do you want?" ”
"In order to overthrow this rotten Ming court, and return the world to prosperity."
"It's a good look, Qin admires it."
Qin Chuan arched his hand towards the other party, and said: "Ren is in charge, our two families are on the same path, although Qin Mou became an official of the Ming Court, what he did was just for the people of Limin." ”
"Since they are on the same path, why does Grand Steward Qin draw a sword against the people in the same path?"
"Hahahaha, Ren Dangjia, this question should be asked to you, Qin Mou is obviously only seeking a foothold in Mengjiazhuang, but Ren Dangjia and those people have joined forces to attack Mengjiazhuang, why is this?"
"Before that, what the Qin master did to Bashanhu and Li Biaofeng was not moral, Bashanhu kindly took you in, but you bit him back, what can you say?"
"Hehe, Bashan Tiger knows that Li Biaofeng is Qin's great enemy of life and death, but he insists on being embarrassed and wants to take Qin's head in Mengjiazhuang, how can Qin bear it?"
"Even so, Tongtian Zhu and Guo Yan have died under your sword, and Ba Shanhu and Li Biaofeng have already left the country, why do you still attack the three cliffs?"
"For the sake of the world."
"What do you mean by that?"
"In Qin's view, the heroes of the world can be divided into three kinds of people, one is the heroes who covet this great country, such as Zhang Bingzhong and Li Hongji, the other is the heroes who are for the peace of the world, such as Qin and Ren in charge, and the last is the rat generation who is only greedy for a momentary pleasure and harms the common people for eating fragrant wine and drinking spicy wine and meat women, Wang Gangbao Wu is such a rat generation."
"Qin not only wants to overthrow the Ming Court and level the Jiannu, but also kill all such rats, only in this way can the world be restored."
Ren Liang couldn't answer, so he had to frown and look fixedly at the other side of the river.
He had to admit that the surname Qin was right.
He also hated Wang Gang, Leopard and others from the bottom of his heart, regardless of good and evil, rich or poor, and only cared about burning, killing and looting.
However, he couldn't trust the surname Qin.
In his opinion, those surnamed Qin should be classified as the first type of people: Xiaoxiong.
The surname Qin may not really harm the people, but it is by no means as pure as what was just said.
Seeing that Ren Liang didn't speak, Qin Chuan didn't make a sound, just quietly looked at the other side.
He knew that Ren Liang was by no means the kind of person who did no evil.
The main reason why Ren Liang in history was able to deal with the Qing army in this area for so long was that he won the hearts of the people, and the villagers around him were willing to help him.
To put it simply, Ren Liang is a typical hero who robs the rich and helps the poor.
He didn't want to fight with Ren Liang, it was best to be able to subdue the other party.
