(Thanks for the reward from zzllovegjy this week...... ）

In the pre-Qin period, when the princes met for the alliance, those who went to the alliance had to taste the blood of the animals and smear their lips to show their sincerity, and they had to respect the people who cut the ears of the ox and took the blood with their own hands. And in today's season, people in the green forest are willing to look forward to a certain road and strong horses, and will also use similar rituals to express their wishes.

After Fu Xuan, Meng De, Liu Ze, Jiao Wentong and other Taihang Mountain leaders, they thought that Xiao Tang was now not only in a high position in the imperial court, but also had strong strength in the rivers and lakes. Being able to live in peace in the chain of villages in Taihang Mountain, with characters like Xiao Tang secretly helping each other, Fu Xuan and others also know very well what attitude they should have.

Xiao Tang didn't pretend to be polite, so he said with a smile: "If you are good, I will cut this first knife." He said to himself, and then he got a sharp meat cutting knife presented by the Taihang cottage man, and walked in the direction of the roast cow.

Fu Xuan and the others also breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this, Xiao Tang so happily agreed to play a leading role in the relationship of alliance and mutual assistance, which also proved that he really valued the mutual contact with their green forest forces along the way.

When Xiao Tang personally cut off the cow's ear, a minion immediately came to pick it up and brought it to him. Immediately, Xiao Tang symbolically cut the most meaty and tender part of the roast beef for Fu Xuan, Meng De, Liu Ze, Jiao Wentong and even his henchmen, and the little leader in the village took the knife in Xiao Tang's hand respectfully, and then cut the whole cow for the group of heroes present. Xiao Tang saw that the little boss was cutting the meat in his hand like a cow, he seemed to be unhurriedly cutting along the lines of the roast beef's limbs, and the slices of fat and tender beef fell like confetti on the plate that had been prepared.

After the whole cow was roasted, Fu Xuan, Meng De and other leaders in the Taihang cottage got up and toasted Xiao Tang and others frequently, and the minions in the village were killing sheep and pigs, and the banquet was extremely lively. After a few rounds of drinking, the shallower alcohol is already drunk, and the eyes are hazy and the face is red.

Until midnight, Xiao Tang and others stayed in the village to rest. Early the next morning, he was ready to ask Fu Xuan and others to resign and leave, but Fu Xuan and other leaders refused to let go, and they would definitely stay with Xiao Tang and other brothers for a few more days. After another three days, Xiao Tangxin said that he should also prepare to go back to Beijing earlier, not to mention that there are many people, although there are people around the Taihang Mountain chain village, but if others find that he is such an official and military commander who came to pacify Hedong under the order of Fu Xuan and other strongman leaders along the Taihang Mountain...... I'm afraid that there will be extraneous branches.

When Xiao Tang told the reason to several leaders of Taihang Mountain, Fu Xuan and the others were inconvenient to stay in Xiao Tang for a long time after hearing it, so they made a send-off feast that day, and invited Xiao Tang and others to eat and drink well. Although they have not been together for a long time, Xiao Tang and Xiao Jiasui, Xu Guanzhong, Shi Xiu and even Wu Song and others chatted speculatively with several leaders of Taihang Mountain, and they were also like-minded. Tian Hu has now been eliminated, and at present, the most powerful green forest soldiers and horses on Hedong Road, as long as it is a matter of rivers and lakes, from this time on, they are also willing to listen to Xiao Tang's orders.

After Xiao Tang and the others got out of Tongtian Gorge, they marched towards Tongqi County of the Weisheng Army. On the way, Xiao Tang was talking to Shi Jin about some matters in the Erlongshan Village, and Xiao Jiasui saw that Wu Song's brows were frowning thoughtfully, so he rode over and asked Wu Song: "Second Brother Wu, I don't know why you are worried?" ”

Wu Song looked at Xiao Tang's back in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Tang brothers are widely united with the people in the green forest, and I know very well who is doing it, but as the so-called tree is a big wind, the more he gets to know the strongmen who gather in the mountains and forests all the way, the more risk of the incident will be exposed." As an official of the imperial court to support the green forest bandits, such a crime is not trivial. Although the Xiao Tang brothers had other plans, they were unwilling to join the court traitors, but they could not be spared in terms of law. If there is a mistake, what can be done? ”

Xiao Jiasui smiled faintly when he heard this, after all, his current identity is Xiao Tang's confidant and strategist, and there are some things that Xiao Tang did not take into account, and Xiao Jiasui will not feel that it is inappropriate, and Xiao Jiasui will secretly judge the situation for Xiao Tang. And listening to Wu Song say this, Xiao Jiasui could also hear that he was completely worried about his sworn brother, and he didn't have any dissatisfaction at all because Xiao Tang was fornicating with the Green Forest bandits, and it was impossible for Xiao Tang to expose the big things he planned through his Wu Song's mouth.

This is also true, this Wudu head is a righteous hero, and now he has a fateful friendship, Xiao Tang, Lu Zhishen, Han Shizhong and others have all gathered together because of like-mindedness, how could Wu Song let down these brothers?

Xiao Jiasui said to Wu Song again: "Second Brother Wu is also worried, if Brother Xiao Tang acts in a double line with the government and the green forest, and forms a wide range of benevolent and righteous heroes in the green forest, this move will certainly bear endless dangers, but he must also do so, Taihang Mountain in Hedong, Xiong'er Mountain and Funiu Mountain in Jingxi Road, Erlong Mountain, Qingfeng Mountain, and Liangshan in Jingdong Road...... Only recruiting soldiers and horses from one or two cottages will have a limited impact on the local area. Brother Xiao Tang could not be like Tian Hu's gang and gathered his green forest soldiers and horses into one place to invade the state and seize the county, which not only harmed the people of Liming, but also exacerbated the internal friction of the entire Great Song Dynasty.

In the green forest, there are also many generous people who value their promises and righteousness, although these heroes are not tolerated by the government, but if they can unite in one place, when the country is in trouble, Brother Xiao Tang will raise his arms and shout, instigating Hebei, Shandong, Hedong, Zhejiang... The juxtaposition of the green forests in all parts of the road is the intention of the elder brother. Although the process during this period is volatile, and it seems to be related to the sea of blood, Brother Xiao Tang risked his life, just for the long-cherished wish in his heart, and he had to know that there were tigers in the mountains and prefer to go to Tiger Mountain. ”

"I have 400 military states in the Great Song Dynasty and a million forbidden troops, although there are pickled traitors in the DPRK and the central government, there are always loyal martyrs who have contributed to the country and are buried and cannot be rewarded, and even have to be persecuted by dog thieves and thrown into the green forest. However, there are still many soldiers and soldiers of the Western Army in the Western Border Court of the Great Song Dynasty, and they can produce many generals, do the Xiao Tang brothers really think that with the current Song Army, they can only take risks to support the Green Forest Righteous Army? ”

Wu Song sighed, after all, he is a heroic figure with a strong and upright personality, and he is not a strategist who is good at analyzing current affairs and deducing the trend of the situation in the world. There are also Jiangnan, Liangzhejiang, Shandong, and Hedong, where thieves rise together, and most of them are rampant and ferocious, and when they pull the flag and rebel, they want to harm the people and do evil. It has been a long time that the good people have been devastated by it and have not been able to live for a long time, and it is also a good thing to have the Xiao Tang brothers on the one hand to eliminate those fierce criminals who deserve to be punished, and on the other hand to help the heroes in the green forest who were framed by traitors.

With your godbrother and my brother Xiao Tang caring for each other and respecting each other, I can also relax a little. But in the end, the two of us have taken very different paths, and this period of time is enough for me and him to have old friendships and liver and gallbladder in my chest, and now I should also return to the Junyan Road Military Division to return to General Liu Fa...... When the war in Song and Xia resumed, he would fight side by side with him as a Song officer and general, and work together to kill the thieves. ”
