Chapter 708: What to Fight? Sit down and talk
Fang Xuedu was ordered by Fu Xuan, Meng De and other leaders to be locked up and detained, and even the thieves who went to the chain village with Fang Xuedu to hide were also ordered to be guarded and forbidden to move around. However, this can be regarded as meeting some of Fang Xuedu's wishes, after all, now he does not have to be pursued by the official army, and he will be taken to the government to be sentenced and beheaded.
However, even if the various forces in the green forest will be hostile to each other, the people and horses in the Taihang Mountain chain village are still strong men after all, and they don't know Xiao Tang's plan to act in the government and the green forest, so under normal circumstances, their relationship with Xiao Tang is still like a cat and a mouse.
“...... Second brother, you are the most meticulous on weekdays, do you say that the official army really plans to come to attack our cottage? After Fu Xuan pondered for a while, he still asked Meng De on the side.
Meng De frowned and thought for a while, and said, "It may be that Fang Xuedu just wanted us to wait for shelter, so he made a remark. However, now that the official army is about to suppress the Hedong crusade against Tian Hu, since we are gathering in the mountains and forests, and commanding more than 10,000 men and horses, it happens to be entrenched in the rear of the Weisheng Army on Hedong Road, and it is also a critical position leading to other road capitals...... It's not out of the question. ”
Fu Xuan nodded, he sighed again, and said: "When I was still living in the Hebei territory, I also heard that the Xiao family under Xiao Tang's rule was concentrated, and there were many heroes in the rivers and lakes to help him. What's more, it is a green forest in the rivers and lakes', and later it was also spread in Hebei through the mouth of his cronies in the market town, and that sentence can also be said to have won my heart......
After Zhang Di was also captured alive by Xiao Renxia at the boundary of Hedong Road, and was later escorted to the government to be conferred the head, Xiao Jiaji under his name took in a large number of Hebei people who were killed and displaced by bandits, and also taught them to have a way to live. Since then, I also know that Xiao Renxia is different from the ordinary sanctimonious dog officials who oppress Li Min. Now he leads the army to Hedong on a business trip, just as he used to conquer the Hebei thief party and appease the displaced people. But I never expected that one day I would become a thief who he would most likely come to ask for. ”
Liu Ze snorted coldly and said: "Brother, although Xiao Tang is extravagant, but our brothers must not be people who are afraid of things and avoid trouble, if Xiao Renxia respects a few of us and comes to get acquainted, we are naturally good at wine, meat and hospitality, but if we ask for something, we will try our best to help." But if he really doesn't care about the feelings of the rivers and lakes and leads the officers and troops to attack us, we can just go and greet us with swords, guns, bows and arrows! ”
Jiao Wentong on the side listened, his pair of thick black eyebrows that looked like two black silkworms were closer, Jiao Wentong was called Iron Courage, and he was also a deadly figure when he fought normally, but when he heard that several leaders were very likely to start a war with the officers and troops led by Xiao Tang, he couldn't help but hesitate and said: "I can't Xiao Renxia move the people in the green forest to do it, but I don't distinguish between good people and bad people!" Big brother, when we traveled to the former residence in Hebei, Qingzhou on Jingdong Road was also adjacent to Hebei, didn't we also know the news about the strongmen on Erlong Mountain and Qingfeng Mountain?
Lin Chong, the head of the 800,000 forbidden army spears and sticks, was Xiao Renxia's righteous brother, and the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi heard that when he was still serving in the palace marshal of Bianjing, he also obeyed orders in front of Xiao Renxia's account. After hearing that they were framed by the powerful traitor Gao Yu old thief in Bianliang, Tokyo, he killed people and fled from the Cangzhou prison camp and joined Erlongshan. Hearing rumors in the rivers and lakes, Xiao Renxia secretly sent someone to save them. Now Lin Chong and Yang Zhitou are under the command of Quan Yu, who is gradually making a name for themselves in the green forest, although they have heard that the two mountains are strong and help the weak, and they have also been praised by ordinary people, but after all, they are also strong people in the green forest. Xiao Renxia can let it go, and even help Lin Chong and Yang Zhi, let's ask ourselves if we are worthy of acting normally, why does he have to be an enemy of us? ”
Meng De sighed when he saw this, and said: "The arrow is on the string, and it has to be sent, it is said that it is people who are in the rivers and lakes in the green forest, and they can't help themselves, like Xiao Tang who is in an important position in the court, do you think you can act casually?" Now that he has been ordered to come to the strongman of Dangping Hedong Road, he is not asked to go to the Shandong boundary, our soldiers and horses occupy the key places of the terrain, and the officers and soldiers will inevitably regard us as a threat, even if Xiao Tang is a benevolent and righteous hero, but the rest of the officers and generals must also persuade him to level the green forest of Tongtianxia, in addition to peace of mind. How can people in the government be like the recklessness of the rivers and lakes to resolve grievances by relying only on the affection of others? ”
"This ......"
Jiao Wentong listened to what Meng De said, and he couldn't refute it, he turned his head to Fu Xuanwang and said, "Big brother, are we really going to meet Xiao Renxia now?" ”
Fu Xuan groaned slightly, and then quickly returned to his previous bold and ruthless appearance, and he said in a deep voice: "Let's guard the main roads in the cottage first, and strictly prevent the officers and soldiers from coming to sentry!" Although I respect Xiao Renxia, but when it comes to tens of thousands of brothers in the chain village, as well as their families with the old and the young, how can we sit still and wait for death!?
There are a wide range of wood plants in the mountains, self-produced fruits and vegetables such as peaches, apricots, plums, persimmons, chestnuts, etc., their own chickens, ducks, pigs, geese and other domestic animals, as well as birds and animals in the mountains, and the rations and meals are also sufficient. Relying on the dangerous mountain, he resisted the enemy with wooden artillery stones, hard crossbows and strong bows, even a large number of officers and soldiers were not afraid of him! Although we never planned to help Tian Hu's evil thief, nor did we want to mess with the officials and soldiers at such a time, if the officials and soldiers really sent troops to provoke us, we would not blame me for being ruthless! Merely...... If there is a choice, I really don't want to form a mortal enmity with that Xiao Renxia. ”
..............................
In the next few days, Fu Xuan, Meng De, Liu Ze, Jiao Wentong and other leaders each led their cronies to rectify the defense of the cottage, and ordered the soldiers under their command to take strict precautions to guard the dangerous peaks leading to the chain village, and the old and weak women and children in the village can also feel the atmosphere of the great enemy, and they can't help but panic, when they heard that the official army is very likely to come to encircle and suppress the cottage, there are many people who angrily scolded that the dog official really wants to force the people to death, and the thieves in Hedong are not good for the conquest, and they can only be forced to do the green forest strongman here. However, it has not been a few days of peace, but the officials and soldiers are coming to break their peaceful and peaceful life.
It is said that thieves are like combs, soldiers are like grates, and many people who live in the chain of villages in Tongtianxia are accustomed to seeing the movement of soldiers but want to harm the people, saying that they are arresting bandits, but they first blackmail the people's domestic animals and gold and silver, and then stretch out their hands to entangle and send them. But when Tian Hu really led the thieves to wreak havoc everywhere, those officers and soldiers were so frightened that they couldn't resist the burning and looting of the thieves......
It was the green forest soldiers and horses of the Taihang Mountain Serial Village that contained them, and these people, who had no way to find a way to live, hated Tian Hu's cruelty, but they also hated the bullying and oppression of the government and military divisions, but they did nothing, so even if the officials and soldiers really wanted to encircle and suppress, all the soldiers, homeless people and those old and young who were cornered in the entire chain village really planned to play with the officials and soldiers after all, and the jade was burned!
It's just that a few more days have passed, and there is still no movement on the side of the official army. Fu Xuan and the other leaders were about to make a detailed discussion and think about how to deal with the forbidden soldiers and horses led by Xiao Tang, but they heard a report from their subordinates that a man had come to worship the mountain, and said that it was Xiao Tang's cronies.
