When Sun An led the leaders of the strong men in Hebei Zanhuang Mountain, Baiyangdian and other places, Zhang Shun was a strong man all the way to Baihe Shuizhai on Jingnan Road, Zhai Jin, Zhai Xing and Xiao Jiasui took the heroes and strong villagers of Jinggi Road, and Shi Xiu also returned from Hedong Road to return to his life, and he was about to catch up with the happy days of the two mountain villages.

Among them, the Hebei bandits attracted by Sun An were the closest to Qingzhou, and they were the first to arrive at Erlongshan Dazhai, for Yun Zongwu, Jin Ding, Huang Yue, Niu Geng, Leng Ning and other strong bandit leaders who fought on the border of Hebei and the two roads, Xiao Tang also remembered that these were all green forest bandits who had responded to Tian Hu's uprising in the original book, but Xiao Tang first captured Zhang Di, the first Kou of Hebei, and a few years later, when Tian Hu had not occupied the 56 counties of Hedong and dominated one side, he had been exterminated. These green forest thieves have no choice but to fight in the mountains and forests, and according to the development of the current situation, they can be regarded as picking up a life.

Xiao Tang knew that according to the original trajectory of these strongman leaders, some of them died under the leadership of Liangshan when Song Jiang led the army to conquer Tian Hu, and some people saw that the general situation had gone, so they surrendered to Song Jiang, and then the battle could be regarded as fighting bravely, and died in Song Jiang's crusade against Wang Qing. There are also people who have to defend the city after several defeats in a row, but they would rather die than surrender, but they have already been secretly killed by Song Jiang and Wu Yong's comrades-in-arms who rebelled, and even hung their heads above the city gate, and ended up not knowing whether to say that they were not afraid of death, or that they were stubborn.

However, it is difficult to say that those who were willing to surrender to Song Jiang at that time were the traitorous villains at both ends of the first rat, and those who followed Tian Hu and refused to surrender were the fierce criminals who were unrelenting. After all, Xiao Tang thinks that the reason for resisting rebellion with Tian Hu is completely different from the original intention, some strong leaders are really unwilling to follow him to the end, and some green forests and grass have only one tendon in their heads, and they still have the intention of sharing happiness and hardship and fighting to the end, Xiao Tang can roughly figure out his human temperament according to the choices they made in the original book, but he will not dislike and exclude any party.

Sun An also told Xiao Tang what he had seen and heard when he recruited the Hebei bandits, just like these strongmen who were supposed to gather on their own side, but the green forest bandits who went to work after Tian Hu in the book were not of the same mind, and there was a faint sense of competition between them. It seems that selecting them according to the soldiers and horses on their respective hills and arranging them into the horse infantry army in the village is also a relatively safe way to resettle.

Fortunately, at present, these Hebei bandits still have one thing in common, that is, they are all very awe of Xiao Tang's prestige in the rivers and lakes, and the reputation of the robbers from all walks of life in the rivers and lakes is not too high, whether it is martial arts or the ability to lead troops, it is at the level of the second or third rate, teach them to sit as a leader in the village, and it will not disrupt the mountain where these robbers gather their own righteousness and teach them to be a partial general in each tribe.

As for Zhai Xing and Zhai Jin, two fierce generals who have been fighting in the border court for a long time and have come out of the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, they must be entrusted with important tasks.

When Zhai Xing and Zhai Jin reunited with Xiao Tang again, they felt a lot of emotion in their hearts, but in front of the leaders of the green forest who came to greet them, the two brothers subconsciously bowed to Xiao Tang with their military titles, and said: "The last generals Zhai Xing and Zhai Jin, see Xiao Jieshuai!" ”

Xiao Tang didn't care when he heard it, even if the Zhai brothers were respected by the people in the green forests of their hometown, they also had some prestige in the rivers and lakes, after all, the two of them were men from a background in the Western Army in the border court, and they also followed Xiao Tang, Liu Fa and other commanders to fight with Xia Jun as an official general, but now they have personally made a position in the green forest village, and it is inevitable that the mentality of the two brothers will not turn around.

The main reason why the Zhai brothers are willing to join Juyi is to teach them to admire and respect Liu Fa, the commander of the Western Army, who is also in the village, and he has no hope of continuing to serve the country. After fighting side by side with Xiao Tang for many days, the Zhai brothers also believed that there was a reason for Xiao Tang's rebellion against the imperial court, and they were waiting for the imperial court to send an edict to use their brothers again, and they still had to go to see Tong Guan, who was gritting his teeth with hatred in the early education, or whether he followed Xiao Tang and Liu Fajian to go sideways, and still be able to protect the country and the people and do a great job, and of course how to choose Zhai Xing and Zhai Jin is also in their hearts.

Xiao Tang then said to Zhai Xing and Zhai Jin: "Xiao and the two generals in the border court have lived and died together to resist the Cha Ge Fan army, and every time I think about it, I am still proud, and now I am fortunate to have two generals to vote, which is really the blessing of my cottage!" ”

"The two last general brothers, since they were with Xiao Jieshuai... After Xiao Renxia's words were goodbye, he often thought about it, but let our brothers calculate everything, but they never expected to meet Xiao Renxia again here. ”

Zhai Xing laughed, and then asked Xiao Tang again: "But I don't know Liu Jingluo...... Are you okay in Xiao Renxia's village now? ”

Xiao Tang also immediately replied: "Liu Jingluo was settled in a quiet house behind the mountain by me, and he sent someone to take care of his diet and daily life, and he was safe. I have also reported to Liu Jingluo that the two generals were willing to join the gang and gather righteousness, and if the two generals are still worried, I will send the leader of the village to guide the two generals to visit Liu Jingluo. ”

Zhai Xing and Zhai Jin also showed joy when they saw it, and thanked Xiao Tang again, and then went to pay homage to Liu Fa with the leader of the village. As for Xiang Mi, Wang Jian, Wang Ying and other green forest heroes who followed the Zhai brothers and came to the west of Gyeonggi Road, Xiao Tangzi, who had finally seen their long-term fame, also pushed Jinshan, and poured Yuzhu immediately came to worship, saying that he was fortunate and comforted by his life, and he was willing to serve Xiao Renxia and was willing to follow the whip stirrup. Xiao Tang also used good words to comfort and encourage these new heroes to join the village, and sent Fu Cao Zheng and his men to set up a banquet to take care of them, and the other brothers in the village can also get close to these green forest heroes who have never been in contact with each other.

However, two or three days later, when Zhang Shun on Jingnan Road led Wei Zhaode and other green forest soldiers and horses from Baihe Water Village to Erlongshan Dazhai, a strange thing happened.

A group of soldiers and horses mainly composed of water bandits in Baihe Water Village on Jingnan Road are also divided into several roads, each with the leader of the village, and they come to Erlongshan Dazhai before and after. When Wei Zhaode and Zhang Jingzu, Liu Yi, and Han Kai followed Zhang Shun to the first three passes of Erlong Mountain, but saw that the pass in front of the mountain was built according to the mountain danger, and the future peaks surrounded by the mountains were also steep, and the rows of slinging guns that stood in the pass were high and dangerous, the trenches were wide and deep, and the soldiers and horses guarding several dangerous passes were clustered with knives, guns, swords, and halberds, and the light shook the cold mang, and the murderous atmosphere was awe-inspiring. The people of Baihe Water Village saw it, and they seemed to be stunned, and Wei Zhaode saw such a majestic atmosphere, and he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: Only this Erlong cottage is at the end, and it is so weather, and sure enough, the officials and soldiers of all roads came to suppress and invade it, not to mention that Xiao Renxia led several green forest cottages, and set up towns and cities overseas.

In the past few days, Xiao Tang has been very busy, not only to settle down the green forest soldiers and horses who came to the village first, but also to talk to Liu Fa and the Zhai brothers about their plans for the future, Hu Sanniang and Li Shishi, and at least to discuss some wedding banquet matters with Hu Taigong and Hu Cheng and other future fathers-in-law and uncles. And although the female dependents in Bianjing Mansion are sisters with Master Li, they are not familiar with Hu Sanniang, who has settled in the cottage since the family joined the family, even if Su Jinniang is not a jealous housewife, she must always be honest and let her own ladies know the reason why she and Hu Sanniang came together, after all, the blessing of Qi people is not so enjoyable......

The first to come to pick up Wei Zhaode's green forest soldiers and horses was Xiao Tang's henchman Yan Qing, and after Wei Zhaode and a few others entered the pass, they saw that the lights inside and outside the village were colorful, and the word happy was also posted everywhere, so they asked Yan Qing about the reason.

Yan Qing then replied: "It is good to teach a few leaders to know that some time ago, there were no feather arrows in the village, Brother Zhang Qing and Brother Xiao Tang tied the knot. My brother is also about to marry two sisters-in-law on the same day, not only fortunate to gather with the righteousness, all the heroes of Baihe Water Village have worked hard all the way, but also can eat a few glasses of wine, and then have a good life and the brothers in the village poured out their hearts. ”

Wei Zhaode showed a tacit smile on his face after hearing this, and said to Yan Qing again: "Hehe, I am willing to vote for Xiao Renxia, I know that he is a hero who does great things, and now he dominates the green forest, although he wants to fight for a good reputation among the people...... Dona a few women, the husband is not informal, but it doesn't matter much. Since our brothers have worshiped Xiao Renxia as their elder brother, this wine is naturally to be eaten. ”

Why don't you care about teaching Dona a few women? Yan Qing is very good at observing words and feelings, he saw that not only Wei Zhaode had something to say, but also Zhang Jingzu, Liu Yi, and Han Kai were smiling and groaning, and there were also some other meanings in their expressions. He frowned slightly, and was about to ask Wei Zhaode what was going on, but he saw Zhang Shun on the side winking at him.

Yan Qing understood, and held down the doubts in her heart for the time being. After the leader of the village taught Wei Zhaode and his gang to settle down temporarily, Zhang Shun came to Yan Qing and told Yan Qing what he saw and heard along the way when he rushed to Erlongshan Dazhai.

When Yan Qing really listened to Zhang Shun, his face, which looked like a pile of Qiong, showed a little bit of anger very rarely, and shouted in a deep voice: "Is there really such a thing? Which grass thief is so bold and reckless that he dares to ruin Brother Xiao Tang's reputation! ”
