One or two said that Brother Xu took the troops to make a detour, preparing to cut off the road and stop the way back, and took Xu Wei's order to contact the rebels everywhere. Since the first southern invasion of the Jin army, the imperial court officials and troops have been defeated one after another. Most of the people of Hebei are based on the "Loyal and Righteous Patrol Society" and have become a righteous army. There are hundreds of small people, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands. Of course, although these people all claim to be the righteous army who "serve the country and the king", there are not a few who do the work of robbing homes and houses, and cutting paths and blocking the road.

As soon as Xu Wei's military order arrived, most of the rebel leaders in Hebei Province complied, intending to cooperate with the official army to intercept the Jurchens, at least on the surface. On this day, the military order was transmitted to Zanhuang County, Hebei, because the herald soldiers heard that there was a righteous army in this county, with strong soldiers and strong horses, many people, and the bull's ear of the Hebei Righteous Army. They were stationed in Wuma Mountain, and often went to attack the Jin army that disturbed Zhending Mansion, and was among the rebels of the Two Rivers. The fame is great. It is said that the leader of the rebel army in Wuma Shansai was also a court official in the past.

The soldier carried Xu Wei's warrant, and finally found a few local people to ask for the location of the Wuma cottage, and galloped there. Zhending fell, the nearby states and counties were ruined, and most of the people fled south. The villages and towns they passed were empty and dilapidated. Encountering a rotten humanoid corpse on the road, Hu Jie's soldiers were no longer surprised.

After a while, I saw a big mountain in the distance, and according to the calculation of the road, it should be what the people called Wuma Mountain. But the mountain did not have the shape of a horse at all, when passing through a dense forest. A few soldiers were originally walking around the forest. But suddenly, there were several loud shouts, and a figure came out of the forest.

shouted for one: "You thieves are in the army, do you want to eat plate knife noodles or roll blunt noodles!" The soldiers reined in the frightened horses, looked at them intently, and couldn't help but be startled. What kind of styling is this? The man was only six feet long, but he was extremely fat, and he wore a huge bag on his head, and he could only see two eyeballs. A mouth. He was wearing the fur of the Jin Army, and he was covered with the Song Army's standard iron leaf armor. Kicking a pair of leather boots, carrying a board axe in his hand, a scimitar in a chair at his waist, baring his teeth and cracking his mouth and roaring endlessly.

Although there are dozens of people on the other side, the soldiers are not afraid, and there are few strongmen encountered all the way north? Then they all pressed the handle of the sword. One of them replied: "I will wait for an urgent military affairs to meet your master, and ask the good man to pass it on his behalf, and he will be thoughtful." ”

"Haha!" The bold man laughed insolently, turned to the brother behind him, and said, "Why does everyone want to see our Lord?" Jin Gou said, if anyone offers our village master level, he will give it to a Zhizhou. These thieves are in the army, I am afraid that they are the birds who bent their knees and surrendered and licked the eyes of the Jurchens with their mouths! Simply, kill with one knife to save trouble! ”

The minions echoed loudly, and the Hujie soldiers were furious, and they drew their swords and wanted to rush forward to kill. But he was stopped by the answering pawn, and he hugged his fist on the horse: "Don't dare to hide from the heroes, we are all the inspectors of the Lianghe Loyal and Righteous Patrol Society." Xu Jiuguanren's corporal is now with the commander's warrant and comes to recruit the heroes of the Wuma Cottage to participate in the grand event. Kill the thief and the king! ”

As soon as this remark came out. The group of strongmen was silent for a while, and after a while, the fat man laughed wildly again: "What nine officials." Grandpa hadn't heard of it! Grandpa only knew that Emperor Zhao was in Tokyo, and the owner of the village was in Jean. I don't know anything else! Get off the horse early, record yourself, if grandpa is happy, leave you a whole corpse! ”

The soldier looked carefully and saw that there were about twenty people in this group, with different weapons and equipment, and there were bent knives of court officials and soldiers. There is also a knife that is often used by farmers. Hatchet, only two or three. The man is not fully clothed in armor. Since the other party has such a tone, there is nothing to say, military affairs are in the body, and they cannot be delayed. I can't say it, I can only be rude.

Come to mind. Pull out the long knife behind your back and swing forward! He was about to lead his comrades to rush over, when he suddenly heard a loud sound of hooves, and looked to the northwest, but saw more than a dozen horsemen galloping towards him. Originally, these knights did not seem to be heading here, but after seeing the situation, they turned their horses and galloped.

"Zhu Ba! What are you doing about cutting paths again? I will repay the owner of the village, let you eat a hundred kills! Although the person who spoke was riding a tall horse, he looked poor and sour. As he spoke, his eyes swirled on a few Tiger Warriors.

"Hey, don't worry, sir! But all the people who fled were innocent! These several. Thieves with armies are sneaky. The roe deer is not a good person, so this is why the fat man named Zhu Ba took his helmet and ran to the other horse's horse and smiled.

Na Xiucai was estimated to be forty or fifty years old, and after looking at several soldiers for a while, he saw that none of them had any tattoos on their faces, and he was suspicious. If it is an official family, how can there be anyone who does not tattoo? Then he asked, "Where are you waiting to fight, and what is the matter with my Wuma Mountain?" ”

"Feng" Lianghe Zhongyi Patrol Patrol Envoy, Xu Weijun order, there is something important to meet Wuma Jean, the owner of the village. The soldier replied.

When the poor sour Xiucai heard this, he was surprised: "Xu Jiu? Last time, the Jurchens were blocked in front of the Purple Mountain

Several soldiers were quite displeased, measuring you as a poor countryman, how dare you be so big and call me a patriarchal official? That Xiucai probably saw some clues, and said with a smile: "I have heard of Xu Jiuguan's fame, but I hate not to see it!" ”

The soldier said a few polite words. Didn't say much. But the other party didn't take them into the mountain immediately, Na Xiucai coughed dryly, and chuckled: "We are not far from Zhending here, and we are extremely jealous of the golden dog." A few people blame me for the heart of a villain, let me ask, you said that it was Xu Jiuguan's part, what evidence do you have? ”

Whoever owns the territory is in charge, and people are rebelling against gold, so it is understandable to be careful. A soldier then took out Xu Weima and sent it over. Na Xiucai took a closer look, and looked at the bright red Zhu Ji in the lower left corner, and there was no doubt that he was indeed the "Patrol Envoy of the Two Rivers Loyal and Righteous Patrol Society".

After looking at it a few more times, he returned the warrant and said with a smile: "It's a little careless, a few people, please follow me into the mountain!" ”

Five horse cottages. The "cottage" here does not mean a den of bandits, nor does it mean counterfeiting. Song dynasty. They often stationed troops in dangerous places, formed fortresses, or defended foreign enemies, or conscripted thieves. In "Water Margin", Hua Rong is the breeze and the thief. That's what it means, but the Song Dynasty didn't have the position of "Zhisai".

Yes, Wuma Mountain was originally a place for the imperial court to settle troops, and as soon as the Jin army broke the real decision, the officials and soldiers of Wuma Mountain abandoned the cottage. Flee at the mere sight of the oncoming force. After the uprising, the rebels occupied Shansai and resisted the Jin army.

All the way into the mountains. Seeing the results is a dangerous place. The cottage operation is also quite lawful, and the passes are guarded by men with bows and knives on their backs, and many fences and high walls are placed to hold on to the danger.

It's really a one-man affair, don't open it!

The righteous army on the mountain saw a few soldiers coming up, and they all looked sideways at Fei Jie, and the ten soldiers secretly guessed when they saw this shape, and when others mentioned the Wuma cottage. Yun Yebai, tens of thousands, at most thousands of troops are stationed on this mountain, how can there be 100,000? I'm afraid it's an empty trip. A few perfunctory words, or hurry back to participate in the war, a head three times reward money is not a joke.

In the upper half of the Wuma Mountain, there are a number of houses, and most of them are built on the mountain. Xiucai led them into one of the courtyards, sat in a small side hall, and told them to wait, while he went to invite the lord of the mountain. Taking advantage of this opportunity, several soldiers discussed, waited for a few nonsense words, and then resigned and went south. The north can no longer go up, and then go to the Zhending Mansion where the Jurchens are entrenched.

Only after a piece of Xuan, I heard the cough of Xiucai again. A few foreign soldiers got up and looked. I saw an official turn out of it, how did he look good? Six feet and five feet long, although not tall, but extremely strong. Although the clothes are simple, they are very neatly packed. The cheeks are long and the eyes are like torches. Two thick eyebrows go straight into the sideburns. The lips are thin and tight, the corners of the mouth are drooping, and they are not angry and arrogant. What especially surprised Hu Jie's soldiers was that this person actually had a gold belt tied around his waist!

This thing is no stranger to Tiger Warriors. We all have one in command. When you don't wear an official robe, you rely on it to confirm your status. Legend has it that the lord of Wuma Shansai was originally an official of the imperial court, and it seems that this is true!

The official sat straight on the main seat, glanced at the soldiers, and asked, "Are you Xu Wei's subordinates?" ”

"Yes." The soldiers saw that he had a gold belt on him, and it was inconvenient for him to make a mistake.

"Not bad." The official is just two words, and I don't know who is good. He sat on the throne of the county lord, upright and unscrupulous. Grabbing the handle of the knife with one hand and putting it on his knee with the other, this is clearly a martial artist's style. I don't know where the officer?

The soldiers were thinking. The official said again: "I heard that you brought the warrant of Commander Xu?" Show me. ”

A sergeant took out the military order again and sent it forward with both hands, and the officer took it, looked at it a few times, and put it on the table next to him, without dragging his feet. Straightforward: "Please report back to Zijin Tiger, just say that my Brother Wuma Shansai originally intended to follow his orders to intercept and kill the defeated Jurchen army." ”

When he heard the letter, the soldier did not stop and immediately took his leave. The official nodded, suddenly stopped again, and said in a deep voice: "When you go back, you can say, Qiudao Ma Yu stopped here for a moment," That's it, let's go." ”

After Hu Jie's pawn left, the owner of the village picked up Xu Wei's warrant and looked at it again. Poor and sour Xiucai stood beside him, and when he saw this, he asked: "Officials have traveled all over the world, and most of the dignitaries from various countries know each other, do you know that this Xu Wei is fine?" ”

"I have never met before, and I have heard of its name in the first battle of Purple Mountain, but I don't know its details." The owner of the village replied casually. Attention was still on the paper military order, Xu Wei only briefly mentioned in the order that the Jin army ran out of food, the military might was greatly defeated, and it would flee north, so that the righteous troops from all walks of life in Hebei were intercepted and killed. This Jurchen has gone south twice, and he has always been a tiger into the flock, how can he run out of food and grass and frustrate? Xu Jiu's military order is vague, and it is impossible to know what the actual situation is.

"Xu Wei, the ninth line in the family. The famous Xiajin Xujiazhuang people, when they were young, they were uninhibited, for the disaster in the township, they were called "Xujiazhuang big worms, Xiajin Xiaobawang" and to Hebei and Shandong group of thieves swarmed, he was ordered by the imperial court to recruit brave and strong, and set up a township army to suppress thieves. White Horse Ditch in World War I, Dazeye in World War II, from the military merits, began to make up for the eight-grade martial arts. and the Jin army betrayed the alliance and invaded the south, Xu Wei led the army out of the famous King Qin, and broke the Jin army's pursuit in Xiangzhou. Kill thousands. When the soldiers reached the Yellow River. When the second prince of Jin Guo could not leave, the official army guarding the river collapsed without a fight, and Xu Wei was in danger at this time. He led the township army and a small number of officers and soldiers to guard the pontoon bridge of Purple Mountain, blocking the enemy for five days and nights, so that he could not move forward half a step. The name of the Purple Tiger is to shake both sides of the river. "This poor and sour talent has a lot of details about Xu Wei, I don't know where it is sacred?

After hearing this, the Sai master raised his head and smiled: "I said how did Mr. know so well, it turned out to be the same villager as Xu Wei." ”

"Not just fellow villagers? On seniority. I am a generation older than his father, Xu Zhang. Xiucai said a little proudly.

Unexpectedly, when the owner of the village heard this, he was taken aback: "Xu Zhang? Xu Tianfu? But when the Western Army gathered a tiger general? ”

"The official is well-informed! Not bad. It was Xu Tianfu who heard that the imperial court had reinstated the old ministers, and he had become the deputy marshal of the Bubu Military Division. Xiucai praised.

The Sai lord groaned for a while, suddenly shook his head and sighed: "Looking back on the past, there are hundreds of thousands of strong soldiers on the five roads in Shaanxi, 100 tiger generals, and the party has been fighting with our dynasty for decades, how can they ever invade half an inch of land?" On the contrary, Hengshan and Tiandu Mountain were lost, and the country was in a slump. Nowadays, most of the immortals such as the seed prince have gone, and there are no generals available in the court for a while. Alas. Then again, what if the soldiers are as strong as a forest, and the fierce generals are like clouds? The times are not good, and the carving does not pass away, but it only makes people sigh empty. ”

Na Xiucai also sighed for a while, and after a long time, he asked: "I expect that as soon as Xu Wei's paper military order arrives, Lianghe Haojie will respect him for three points." Words will obey each other. But when it comes to life and death, it is still unknown how many ways will attack. The officials really want to take the lead and stop. The brothers of the village intercepted and killed the Jurchens? The real golden dog is always staring at us. ”

The master of the cottage slapped it on the table. Get up and say, "Go!" Of course go! Not only Wuma Mountain is going to attack, you immediately sent my words to the leaders of Fenglong Mountain, Zanhuang Mountain, Dunyu Mountain, and Ganyan Mountain, saying that the imperial court has a clear order. Ordered us to intercept and kill the Jurchen rout. Let them pack up their equipment, and wait for the machine. ”

That Xiucai suddenly changed color. After a few moments of wanting to speak, he stopped talking, and only after a while did he ask tentatively: "There is no need for the official to be a pawn for Xu Wei, right?" Therefore, the fellow is not useful, and I didn't see him pull at a critical time, but pulled back.

"It's not for the Purple Golden Tiger, it's for yourself. We have no food, no pay, no equipment, and no name. I have to find a way out for these rebels. The Lord sighed.

"That being the case, the official was originally a military minister of the imperial court, and his reputation spread far and wide. Why don't you go to Tokyo, the imperial court is the time to employ people, and it will inevitably be able to make a comeback and re-use, wouldn't it be better to be the master of a cottage here? Xiucai brought up the doubts in his heart for many days.

Not only him, but all the righteous army leaders around Zhending recommended this official as the leader, and one of the big reasons is that he was a court official in the past. But the leaders didn't understand, so why didn't he go back to Tokyo?

A hint of loneliness flashed across the Stopper's face, and he shook his head lightly and sighed slightly. Then he sneered again, and there was a bit of arrogance on his face: "Puppet erection, insufficient and conspiracy!"
