Chapter 258: Heroes Club

Chu Tianya set off, chasing stars and moons, day and night.

In fact, in addition to the enemies of the Jin State and the court of the Great Song Dynasty, there were many other figures who paid attention to Chu Tianya's movements. For example, the "Qinwang Righteous Army" that flocked from all over the country.

In the past, these many rebel armies were the same as the previous Qixingzhai and Qingyun Castle, which were bandits and bandits or water thieves and green owls. Now that the country is in danger and the whole clan is fighting against gold, these people are carrying a banner of "righteousness" to come to King Qin in Tokyo.

Whether it was out of the sincerity of resisting gold and saving the people or the false intention of reaping benefits, more than a dozen such rebels were gathered near Tokyo, and the number varied from one or two thousand to seventy or eighty thousand. They gathered scattered in the suburbs of Tokyo, or fought against the guerrillas of the Jin soldiers, or obeyed the orders of the imperial court to guard the dangerous passes, which did play a big role, and once made Wanyan Zongwang very annoyed.

But these armies also have some drawbacks, that is, they are not regular armies after all, and they do not have the same strict military discipline as the Hedong Righteous Army. On the one hand, they did good things against the Jin soldiers, and they did not forget to rob their homes and houses to get some military rations, and to bully men and women to do some bad things.

In this extraordinary period, the imperial court can only turn a blind eye to their troubled waters, and neither wants to manage it, nor can it manage it.

As a result, the area around Tokyo is really in chaos. In addition to the golden soldiers, there are also "rebels" who are mischievous.

While actively carrying out activities, these more than a dozen rebels looked forward to the direction of Luoyang -- paying close attention to the movements of Ma Chu Tianya, the number one in the world.

The reason is very simple, the dozen or so rebel armies in Tokyo are mixed with scattered sand, you don't obey me, I don't obey you, and it is common for each other to fight and raise bars and even make swords. The imperial court wanted to twist this group of people into a unified management and order, but no one could stand up and convince these people. For the orders of the imperial court, the righteous soldiers were also unconvinced, and they disobeyed the yang and disobeyed the yin.

Therefore, the imperial court hoped that Chu Tianya would be able to overwhelm the heroes and unify all the rebels outside Tokyo to jointly resist Jin and save the car; Among the more than a dozen righteous soldiers, there are many people who really want to resist Jin and save the country, and they also hope that someone can stand up and lead them to do something vigorous; Of course, there are also some people who are interested in fishing in troubled waters, and they are worried that if that "One Thief King" comes to Tokyo, will he eat us in one gulp?

Therefore, Chu Tianya's every move touched the hearts of everyone here in Tokyo.

Until the news was confirmed that Chu Tianya, the king of Luoyang County, had really led an "200,000 army" to help Tokyo, the officials, courtiers, and people all breathed a sigh of relief. More than a dozen rebels also have their own thoughts up and down.

Among the righteous army, the strongest force is Cao Cheng of Huainan. Before Chu Tianya came, there were very few people in the righteous army who could compete with him. With his strongest troops, he vaguely has the meaning of "leading the group". But the other rebel leaders are not vegetarians, so why should they listen to your dictates when they are each hegemon? Therefore, the relationship is very stiff, and there are endless fights between open and secret battles.

Cao Cheng does not have the "absolute strength" and "absolute fame" of Chu Tianya, which convinced all the rebels.

Now that Chu Tianya is coming, the first one in the righteous army to be uneasy is naturally Cao Cheng. He summoned several henchmen to discuss day and night to deal with Chu Tianya's arrival. Originally, he wanted to leave, but if he did so, it would be tantamount to losing the word "righteousness". Without righteousness on the mixed green forest road, how will it gain a foothold in the future? But Cao Cheng didn't want to be swallowed up by Chu Tianya or lose his prestige, so he took great pains to study it, and finally decided to take the initiative to preemptively show goodwill, even if it couldn't compare to Chu Tianya, it would be better to win the "second" position among the rebels!

So, before Chu Tianya arrived in Tokyo, Cao Cheng invited high-ranking officials from Tokyo and gathered the leaders of various other rebel armies, and proposed to take the initiative to "welcome the king of Luoyang" to show his respect.

This blatant blow beard and slap the horse is shameful for many upright people. Originally, Cao Cheng was also a hero of one party, and he didn't want to do this. But only now is it difficult to ride a tiger, and there is no way to do it.

Under Cao Cheng's coercion and temptation and full promotion, the imperial court and the rebels from all walks of life reluctantly reached a consensus - to welcome the king of Luoyang!

This is not an easy thing to do now. After all, more than 100,000 people and horses of the Jin Kingdom had already surrounded Tokyo, and the divisions of the Qin Kings from all walks of life finally opened a few gaps to loosen the encirclement of the Jin Kingdom, so that the orders of the imperial court could be issued to all parts of the world. But now, the country of Jin is still surrounded by Tokyo, and the danger is lurking.

The matter of welcoming Chu Tianya, the king of Luoyang, must not be known to the world with great fanfare.

So, Cao Chengyan and the leaders of the other rebel armies, after each bringing some henchmen and guards in disguise, secretly came to Yumuling, more than 130 miles west of Tokyo, and first sent a messenger to contact Chu Tianya, and then they and their group hid and waited for Chu Tianya's army.

Chu Tianya, who was urging the army to march quickly, received Cao Cheng's letter and couldn't help but smile gracefully.

"This Cao Cheng is interesting, I'm afraid that someone from my Chu will go to Tokyo to rob him of the soup in his bowl." Chu Tianya smiled at Jiao Wentong beside him, "Second brother, how should I reply?" ”

Jiao Wentong also stroked his hair and smiled, "The heart of the bird, the belly of the bird." The lord can ignore it and just go and save the king! ”

"That's right. Chu naturally didn't have the heart to compete with him Cao Cheng for the position of leader of the Righteous Alliance; But to Tokyo, where there were also hundreds of thousands of volunteers. It would be a blessing to be able to use their strength; Even if you can't use force, don't let them be a hindrance. Chu Tianya said while thinking, "I think it's better to perfunctory them - ahead of Yumuling, Cao Cheng said that there will be a banquet for me and a meeting of the heroes of the Thirteen Paths Righteous Army." It's fun, I'll go for it, and it's okay! ”

"Why should the lord delay the trip for these miscellaneous fish?" Jiao Wentong's phoenix eyes squinted and he was very disdainful, "This kind of Xiao Xiao is not worthy of being side by side with the lord." Just let Jiao go and meet them for a while, the lord doesn't have to stay, just kill Tokyo! ”

"It's okay, I can't miss the time for a few teas." Chu Tianya smiled and said, "The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake of the ground, I wait for the first time to come to the first place, and it is also appropriate to salute first and then soldier." Give them a few thin noodles first, otherwise, Cao Cheng will not be able to hang up on his face, and he will make a bad mistake in the future, and it will be difficult to avoid hidden arrows with open guns. ”

Jiao Wentong heard that it was reasonable, so he nodded, "The lord is thoughtful, and his subordinates have nothing to say." If the lord goes, he needs to bring enough people to beware of villains! ”

"With Qingwei and Huben walking together, the second brother can rest assured." Chu Tianya smiled and said, "Just ask the second brother to lead the army first, and I will follow immediately." ”

"Subordinates take orders!"

Yumu Ridge, more than 30 miles away from the official road, is a relatively primitive hidden mountain in the deep mountains. Chu Tianya left the army, and only took Xiao Linglong and other Qingwei and more than 100 tiger ben and the former general Anu, and the group entered the mountains.

"My lord, the terrain here is treacherous, if there is an ambush, it may be difficult to escape." Anu's duty was to remind Chu Tianya, "Lord, it's better to think twice." ”

Chu Tianya said with a smile: "I am a bandit, how can I suffer in the mountains?" It's okay, those people have no reason to hurt me! ”

One sentence made the accompanying Qingwei people laugh.

Xiao Linglong said: "Yes, our lord is not only a thief, but also the king of the bandits." Even the Great Song Dynasty court named him the prince! ”

"Haha-" The crowd laughed again.

Startled a flock of birds.

On the hill not far away, Cao Cheng and several leaders looked condescendingly from afar, and had already seen Chu Tianya and his party. Seeing the startling bird flying in the sky and hearing this burst of laughter, Cao Cheng and the others felt a burst in their hearts.

"This surnamed Chu has extraordinary courage." Someone said, "He came to such a dangerous place, and he laughed so loudly." Aren't you deceiving me and no one? ”

"Don't make mistakes." Cao Cheng's face was tense, and his eyes were even more cold, "The surname Chu is not a general, even ruthless characters like Tong Guan and Wanyan Zonghan have been planted in his hands one after another, but it's not all because of his good luck." As far as I know, he has a group of guards under him, called 'Qingwei'. This is a group of strange people who are unpredictable and have the ability to escape from heaven and earth! - At the beginning of the battle of Zhending, Chu Tianya only sent two Qingwei, and he stabbed Zhending to the bottom. Who can be sure that now the Qingwei without him is hiding in the shadows, aiming the cold and swishing poisonous arrows at us? ”

As soon as he said that, many reckless men around him who were mixed in the green forest and licked blood with their knives were a little cold in their necks, and many people subconsciously looked around, afraid that someone would really be ambushed in secret.

"Humph! ――”

Just when everyone was a little nervous, one of them let out a cold snort of disdain.

Everyone looked at him and couldn't help frowning.

It was a warrior in his twenties, but he was unusually tall and tall, wearing a golden bronze armor, a long sword hanging from his waist with a red tassel on his head, and a long Fang Tian painting halberd by his side.

At this time, his pair of copper bell-like eyes were full of cold light, and his face was full of sneers and disdain at all.

"Why are you cold?" Cao Cheng asked with some dissatisfaction.

The leaders also watched to see what the young man would say.

"My lord." The young man hugged his fists and said in a sonorous voice, "The subordinate is Xiao Chu Tianya's milky and undried child, who picked up a pair of family businesses of the heroes of Hedong Dahongpao Guan Shanguan in vain, and then dominated the party with a monkey crown." Now he is blackmailing the court to be crowned a prince - he is really a despicable villain, a thief who steals the country, and he is not enough to be in company! ”

Hearing this, everyone, including Cao Cheng, gasped and stared at the young man!

Cao Cheng stared at the young man for a long time, and suddenly realized: "I forgot, you used to be a person from Hedong Qixing Village." Guan Shan Guan Daxia is the person you admire the most...... Yang Zaixing, if you see Chu Tianya, what should you do? ”

"As long as the lord gives an order, Yang will be able to take his head immediately!!"

Yang Zaixing, the sound is like thunder!!
