Tian Hu's face sank like water, his cold eyes stared at the leaders of the thieves who were fighting endlessly, and he couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart, and said secretly: What can Xiao Tang do? Since Lao Tzu wants to fight for glory and wealth on the knife edge, he has long expected that one day he will fight to the death with some extravagant characters in the government, if he does not have the courage to be born, Lao Tzu might as well go back to the ravine and be a bitter hunter!

However, Tian Hu did not underestimate Xiao Tang, who had already made a name for himself in the rivers and lakes, and the other party commanded several states' powerful officers and troops, which showed that he was prepared. Although most of the official army in Hedong was weak, Tian Hu was not arrogant enough to think that with his tens of thousands of thieves, he could kill Bianliang in Tokyo and seize the throne of Zhao's Sheji.

When Tian Hu was a hunter in the mountains, he once saw Jingping Zhang Di in the mountains and forests, and returned to the army of the imperial court. Xiao Tang was mighty, and he killed countless generals along the way, and captured Zhang Di, the head of the Southern Hebei Army, in Tongyu Mountain, Tian Hu knew these things very clearly. It's just that I heard that some of the officials and troops who crusaded against Zhang Di back then were people from the two roads of Hebei, and the rest were from the front division of the Bianjing Palace and several military states on the Jingxi Road, and where were the elite soldiers of the imperial court under Xiao Tang's command this time?

Tian Hu was pondering carefully, and his younger brother Tian Bao beside him was also nervous, and asked him: "Big brother, now that Xiao Tang has led a large army to conquer, what should I do?" ”

"Don't panic, although Xiao Tang's gang is good, he only led the army to defeat some of the green forest strongmen who were newly attached to me, and our soldiers and horses are not injured, how can we mess up at this time?"

Tian Hu calmly said to Tian Leopard, although he was only born as a hunter, and he was a ruthless wolf, and he was born very fierce, but Tian Hu is also a strong man and a man who can gather strong men and horses from all over the country to confront the government. But at this moment, he heard a burst of hysterical shouting and scolding in the hall:

"Dog's day! The officers and soldiers on Hedong Road were killed by us, but there was a Xiao Tang, and what a bird!? Since there are still a handful of birds to come to Hedong Road to beg for death, let's kill one by one and chop a pair of two! Aren't those guys stationed in Tonglu County now? I will lead a few brothers to remove the bird generals from other military states, slaughter all the people in the county, and teach our green forest heroes in Hedong to fight in front of other colleagues in the rivers and lakes!! ”

Seeing that his third brother Tian Biao shouted loudly, vainly saying that he would lead the army to kill directly in Tongyu County, and thus destroy the officials and troops under the command of Xiao Tang, Tian Hu's eyes were even more angry, and he scolded fiercely in his heart: This stupid guy is just good to fight! Just because you are a sibling of your compatriots, relying on my momentum, I also taught you to be a number one person in front of the Hedong Qunhao, if there was no me back then, the county government and the public could have taken you to a capital crime and executed, how can you be so arrogant now!

Thinking of this, Tian Hu suddenly shouted: "Close the bird's beak!" Now that I'm about to discuss a countermeasure and deal with the officers and soldiers, why should you shout like this!? ”

Tian Biao was originally a reckless man who often loved to make mistakes, he listened to his eldest brother scolding him, but he stiffened his neck, glared and said, "Brother, aren't you really afraid of that Xiao Tang?" ”

Hearing Tian Biao's question, the eyes of the leaders of all the strongmen present looked at Tian Hu again, and at this time, they also hoped that this big leader could make a quick decision and get along with a countermeasure to fight with the officials and soldiers.

Tian Hu snorted heavily, he thought about it for a while, and suddenly opened his mouth to ask Fang Xuedu and Fan Yuming: "Two brothers, you said that Xiao Tang led about 10,000 soldiers and horses, and most of the officers and soldiers can fight well, and there are also troops of the heavily armored horse army, right?" ”

Among them, Fang Xuedu immediately replied to Tian Hu: "That's right, big leader, if it weren't for me and Fan Yuming's brothers who didn't want to fight to the death, the group of officers and troops commanded by Xiao Tang was really powerful, and we must not be careless." ”

Tian Hu nodded, he thought that he led the green forest soldiers and horses to crisscross Fenzhou, Jinzhou and other places, and the commanders and inspectors of the Weisheng Army west of Tongluo County had also been defeated and disabled by him and led the thieves, and Xiao Tang led the officers and soldiers to be stationed in Tongluo County, it seems that the other party is not only coming for him, but also expected his Tian Hu's strategic intentions, and he will plan to lead the Hedong thieves to expand in which direction.

But the strange thing is that if the Great Song Dynasty has now regarded Tian Hu as a confidant, how could it only send about 10,000 soldiers and horses to calm down Hedong Road? And I haven't heard anything about the imperial court's plan to allocate troops and horses to encircle and suppress the thieves in Hedong, could it be that this Xiao Tang came to Hedong this time, and there was no other purpose?

After some contemplation, Tian Hu probably figured out a clue, since this group of officers and soldiers are brave, but the number of troops is not large, when the green forest strongman has always faced the encirclement and suppression of the official army, what is the way to force the other party to be exhausted, and then deal with it to the end?

Thinking of this, the corners of Tian Hu's mouth gradually revealed a touch of hideousness, he made up his mind, and first said loudly: "Brothers, we are all green forest heroes who are used to killing people and seeing blood, the official soldiers are weak, and the military attaches are afraid of death, and we have been defeated several times. Damn it, although there is a Xiao Tang, are we really afraid of his name? ”

The strongman leaders in the hall who advocated fighting to the death with the officials and soldiers became noisy when they heard this, but Tian Hu changed his words and said: "But what some brothers said is indeed reasonable, Xiao Tang came prepared, and he is not like an ordinary military commander who is a wine bag and rice bag, if he rashly goes to attack Tongqi County and confront him head-on, our casualties will definitely be not small." ”

Tian Biao, who was originally in harmony with the hiss of being beaten with chicken blood, was stunned when he heard this, and he immediately stomped his feet again and said, "Big brother! Whether we fight or not, you have to give a quasi-word! ”

Tian Hu didn't pay attention to Tian Biao, and Kan Kan said: "Now that the imperial court has sent officials and troops to encircle and arrest us, if we want to fight against us, the golden silk, grain and grass must also be robbed for the use of soldiers and horses, even if Xiao Tang sends troops to fight, it is better to fight with him." It is because I, Tian Bao, Tian Biao, and a few brothers are still acting in the Weisheng Army and the Fenzhou territory, and then break a few more state and county warehouses to prepare military funds.

Brother Mo Zhen, Brother Sheng Ben, you were originally the leaders of the green forest in the north of Hedong Road, although several military states such as Fuzhou and Linzhou resisted Western Xia, and they were also important towns on the border, it is expected that they would not easily go south to help Xiao Tang attack our green forest soldiers and horses, but we don't have to provoke the officers and soldiers over there...... However, there are still several strongmen and horses in Taiyuan Mansion, Daizhou, Xizhou and other places, which can just pick them up in the northeast of the river.

Fang Xuedu brothers, Fan Yuming brothers, there are already a lot of strongmen in Longdefu, Jinzhou, Gaizhou and other military states, although you have suffered a fiasco, but you can also join several other brothers, and it is not difficult to pull up some more people. I waited for Xiao Tang to be dragged by the Weisheng Army, and those guys didn't have a pair of wings, how could they resist our soldiers and horses everywhere? ”

Some of the scheming leaders among the thieves in Hedong immediately thought that Tian Hu wanted to stir up the situation in Hedong even more chaotic at this time, Xiao Tang's official army was limited, and at that time, there were strongmen in the south, west, and north of Hedong looting everywhere, and the local officers and troops were weak, even if Xiao Tang stretched out ten fingers, could he hold down ten fleas? Now the green forest soldiers and horses under the command of Tian Hu are not stubbornly defending a mountain, in the case of extremely strong mobility, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers and horses will definitely be dragged out to take care of one or the other, tired of coping, even if Xiao Tang led his troops to defend Tonglu County, and in the light of time, Tian Hu would have been cultivated into a thief, and it would be difficult to subdue. When the thief army encircles and attacks Xiao Tang on all sides, he can only be a turtle in an urn and let people eat meat!

Just a few strongman leaders bluntly said that Tian Da Chief's plan was fine, and said that this plan was feasible, but Tian Hu said suspiciously: "Brother Take-off, you are the leader of the strongman from the Northern Desert, and there are also some green forest strongmen who do some private business with the Haoqiang of Liao, Xia and other countries at the border, and communicate with the foreign bandits and horse bandits in the north, it must not be a difficult thing, right?" ”
