Chapter 152: Infiltrating Nanyang

Cheng Bingjin laughed, and the big axe in his hand rotated like a fly, surrounding Wen Zhong. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Wen Zhong danced the big knife to cover the left and right, and he was busy sweating before he stopped Cheng Biting Jin's big axe.

The two of them had only fought for more than a dozen rounds, and Cheng Yanjin suddenly shouted: "Give me down!" The big axe in his hand swung away Wen Zhong's big knife, and then slapped him down. Those soldiers were just about to rush up to save people, but they were glared at by the gold, and they were so frightened that they all retreated, and no one dared to step forward to fight.

Seeing that Cheng Yanjin was suppressing these officers and soldiers, Li Jing and others rushed up and helped Han Shige and Dahan surnamed Zhang up. "Cousin, the younger brother came late and frightened my cousin."

Han Shige looked at Li Jing for a long time and said, "Are you Li Jing?" How did you end up here? Li Jing smiled and said: "Cousin, I was originally in Shandong, and I heard that you were arrested with Wang Xuangan's army, so I asked the chief manager to come to help." Thankfully, you're all right, and our brothers will see you again! ”

Cheng Yanjin jumped off the horse, took Wen Zhong in his hand, and said to Wen Zhong: "You ask them to make way for me for a day, and after sending us away, I will let you go." ”

Wen Zhong's eyes almost erupted with fire, and Cheng Yanjin smiled: "You must know that these people can't stop me, I just don't want to kill again; If you don't mind the lives of your men, you can let them come up and try it. ”

Wen Zhong sighed, ordered the soldiers to get out of the way, and then let Cheng bite the gold to suppress him, and left the hill with Li Jing and the others to escape.

The soldiers who stayed in the local area looked at each other, and the guilt of the imperial court was not small, and they scattered and fled with a shout.

Cheng Yanjin and the others ran for dozens of miles and found a secluded place before reining in the war horse.

Wen Zhong looked at Cheng Yanjin and the others angrily: "Now that you have left the dangerous place, it is useless to leave me any longer; If you want to kill, you have to know that you are respectful. ”

Cheng Yanjin smiled: "You don't have to worry about this, I have always served people with virtue, and I rarely bully others; It is not in my interest to take your life, and I have no need to take your life. However, if you lose the court recidivism, it will be a dead end to go back.

Though I did not kill you, you died because of me. That's really what I don't want to see! Wen Zhong, I cherish you as a talent, how about following me Liangshan? How about we jointly resist the guarantee of the Sui Dynasty and create a paradise on earth? ”

Wen Zhong smiled coldly and said: "The fox's tail is finally revealed, although the Sui Dynasty is rotten, it is the orthodoxy of the world at that time. You thieves also dare to speak out against Sui. It is difficult for you grass kings to become a climate, and sooner or later they will be exterminated one by one. I, Wen Zhongsheng, am a person of the Great Sui, and a ghost of the dead Great Sui, you can kill me and fulfill my heart of loyalty to the country! ”

Cheng Yanjin shook his head and said: "Don't put on a high posture to fool people, some of your children of the family have always known that there is a family in their hearts, but they don't know that there is a country." In order to share the risk, the eggs are never put in one basket, and the children of each house have always been loyal to different forces; What kind of loyalty to the country are you talking about? ”

The article was stunned, and looked at Cheng Yanjin stupidly, I don't know how such a big old man knows so much about the family's operation methods.

Cheng Yanjin smiled and said, "Do you know who I am?" Dare to directly conclude that I am the king of grass? In fact, in my eyes, there is more of you and less of you, and it has nothing to do with the overall situation. On martial arts, there are no less than ten people on our mountain who can defeat you; Papers, hehe, even Qinghe Cui's Cui Xin is only average, and you are even worse. In terms of arranging troops and counselors, my third brother is as powerful as Zhuge Kongming, and there are Ling Jing and Sheng Yanping at home, all of whom are Chen Ping's talents.

It's just a pity that you've learned a lot of your skills, and it's a pity to lose it like this; It gave you a chance. Since you don't want to, then ......"

Before Cheng could say anything, Wen Zhong said: "You have such a big breath, I really want to see what your mountain is like?" But my family is in Nanyang, I need to go back to save my family, are you willing to believe me? ”

Cheng Yanjin smiled: "There is no problem, Cheng is not suspicious of employing people, and suspects are not needed!" So be it! How about we go to Nanyang with you and help you save your family? Wen Zhong glanced at Cheng Yanjin and nodded.

Only then did Lao Cheng say to Han Shige and the man surnamed Zhang: "Two strong men, what are your plans in the future?" ”

Han Shige said: "I escaped this time because I wanted to hide in the deep mountains and old forests, or live in seclusion, or occupy the mountains as kings; Since you are from the mountains, I am left to wander again; And my cousin has always been favored by my father and thinks he is a good talent.

You can be favored by my cousin, there must be an extraordinary residence, I am willing to go up the mountain to join the family, please take it in. ”

Li Jing smiled: "Cousin, you definitely won't regret today's decision!" We're not bandits. Yangsan is just our base area, and now we have occupied the three states of Jeju, Choju, and Daiju; There are hundreds of thousands of people in the territory, and it is really a holy place. ”

"Oh! Is it? Everyone was surprised, and they were all a little surprised; The man surnamed Zhang said: "I saved Brother Han this time, and I also had the idea of going up the mountain to raise troops against Sui after saving people." Since Brother Han has gone up to the mountain, I also want to go to Liangshan, not only can the owner of Cheng Zhai be willing to accept it? ”

Han Shige hurriedly said: "The master of the village, my brother is skilled in archery and horses, and his martial arts are strong, and he is no worse than this General Wen; If adults are willing to include it, it will definitely be a help on the mountain. ”

Cheng Yanjin said with a smile: "A loyal person like Zhang Zhuangshi, we can only go up the mountain too little, never too much." Zhang Zhuangshi is willing to come, we welcome each other! Really, haven't asked Zhang Zhuangshi's name yet? ”

The big man surnamed Zhang said with a smile: "What a big name, my ancestral home is Shangwen Village, Yu County, Shanxi, and later settled in Lushi County, Yuzhou, Henan Province with my father; His surname was Hulu, and he later changed his name to Shigui, and he called himself Wu'an! ”

Cheng Yanjin was stunned and asked, "Your name is Zhang Shigui?" Zhang Shigui was slightly stunned and said: "Yes, the villain is Zhang Shigui." ”

There is no doubt that Zhang Shigui is a historical figure who is remembered by many people, but he who is remembered by people is a different appearance - jealousy of the virtuous, persecution of loyalty, and even rebellion against the court.

But in real history, it is completely different, although this person is not listed in Lingyan Pavilion, but in Li Shimin's words, Zhang Shigui can be said to be the first in the army in terms of merit.

He not only made great contributions when Li Tang conquered the world, but was named the Duke of Qiu; When the Tang Dynasty conquered Goguryeo, it also shined. The white-robed general Xue Li and Xue Rengui were not suppressed by Zhang Shigui, but Zhang Shigui's subordinates, and they were also pulled out by him.

Cheng Yanjin laughed and said: "Okay, with Shigui's help, our Liangshan must be like a tiger!" When everyone saw him like this, Zhang Shigui was slightly stunned; However, Li Jing knew that his chief manager had always been knowledgeable, and he was interested in Zhang Shigui.

Cheng Yanjin said to everyone: "We are going to Nanyang to pick up Wen Zhong's family, this matter should be sooner rather than later!" Let's go quickly, everyone! ”

Wen Zhong thanked everyone, and then everyone got on the horse and went straight to Nanyang. After arriving in Nanyang, they easily entered Nanyang with the help of a float with the help of the power of Taoju Inn; Then settle down in the Taoran Inn.

At this time, the news of Wen Zhong's rebellion in Nanyang City had already spread; The army has put the whole city under martial law; Searching for rebels everywhere; Wen Zhong's family was also closely monitored.

Wen Zhong was anxious like an ant on a hot nest, he couldn't stay for a moment, and as soon as it got dark, he said goodbye to Cheng Yanjin and the others, and wanted to go home to take a look. Cheng Yanjin and the others couldn't persuade him, so they had to let Shang Huaizhu accompany him home to have a look.

The front and back doors of Wen Zhong's house were surrounded by their own troops, and the two had to go around to a secluded place and climb over the wall to enter the house.

At this time, Wen Zhong's house was desolate, and the previous servants had almost run away; Only a few loyal servants are still serving Wen Zhong's wife and concubine, as well as the old mother and young son.

Wen Zhong led Shang Huaizhu to his mother's residence, he found that the lights inside were still on, so he came to the front and secretly looked inside, and found that his mother, his wife Yan, and his concubine Cao were all there. The family's faces were panicked, apparently discussing something.

Wen Zhong was filial piety, and when he found that his mother was crying for him, he didn't say hello to Shang Huaizhu, so he rushed into the house. Shang Huaizhu was afraid of alarming others, so he flew up to the room and hid in a hidden position.

There was a lot of chaos in the room, and there was the sound of tables and chairs falling to the ground, so I heard Mother Wen say: "Son! How did you get back? Our house is surrounded by officers and soldiers, you can take Xiao Wenyuan and leave quickly! Hugh thinks of us. ”

Wen's wife Yan said: "What my mother said is reasonable, my husband should leave quickly; Na Cen Xiangzhi only surrounded us and did not arrest us, just to lure you back. If you don't come back, we still have to live, once you are caught, our family will not escape death, husband should leave quickly! ”

The little concubine Cao also nodded and said, "Sister is right, I'll go to see the situation of the Sui army in the front yard, and the husband should leave quickly!" He said hello to everyone and hurried to the front yard.

Wen Zhonghu couldn't stop but tears and said to his mother: "Mother, don't worry, I have followed a hero who stands up to the sky and has a foothold!" This time, the adults also followed me to Nanyang and made a special trip to save our family.

In addition, I have a good relationship with Cen Xiangzhi, and I have a friendship with Huang Xie, the captain of the city gate; I'll go find that Huang Xie and ask him to help let us out of the city. Please Mother quickly pack up your things, and we will retreat immediately. ”

When Wen Mu heard this, she nodded again and again: "So very good, so very good; Virtuous daughter-in-law, hurry up and pack your things! Yan agreed, wiped his tears and was about to go out.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, and Wen Zhong was stunned and quickly extinguished the lights, and secretly poked his head out to look outside.

I saw a team of archers breaking into the courtyard, and they bent their bows and arrows one by one to aim at the house, and a general with bright armor and a smile on his face crossed the crowd and said: "Brother Wen, I heard that you are back, and it really makes the little brother miss you for a few days, please come out and meet me!" ”
