Chapter 69 The Heroes
Gaojibo, for the confluence of Zhangshui, vast hundreds of miles, reeds blocked, reeds overgrown, can be said to be a natural fortress! Originally, this high chicken park has always been very calm, but since the seventh year of the great cause, after Sun Zu'an fell here, this reed swing has begun to be unpeaceful! Not long after Sun Zuan fell into the grass in Gaojibo, he was defeated by Zhang Jincheng, a heroic soldier who raised troops in the river meander, and since then, Gaojibo has become Zhang Jincheng's stronghold.
Since Zhang Jin claimed to occupy Gaojibo, this area is even more smoky, Zhang Jincheng is not good at managing his soldiers and horses, and the people around him who are honest and responsible are also cornered by Zhang Jin's thieves, and they have all run away. However, since more than ten days ago, there seem to be more people who have come to Gaojibo, but these people are all thieves from Henan and Shandong!
In the most dense area of Gaojibo Reeds, there is a small island of about 100 acres, on which many large and small houses are built unevenly, especially around the island, there are many towering bamboo towers. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info this is Zhang Jin's cottage, in the entire cottage, Zhang Jin said that nearly 10,000 thieves gathered, plus the soldiers and horses stationed on the periphery, Zhang Jin said that there were 20,000 or 30,000 people, and if you add the people who responded to the entourage, there were at least 80,000 or 90,000 people!
And to the east of the cottage, a big house larger than other houses is the hall that Zhang Jin said was used to meet guests, and at this moment in the hall, dozens of people also gathered, all of whom were the leaders of bandits from all walks of life in Henan and Shandong! As the host, Zhang Jin said that he was sitting at the top with a golden knife, Zhang Jin said that he was about forty years old, not fat or thin, very tall, with a square face, white and beardless. Zhang Jincheng looked at the group of heroes sitting down with a smile on his face, so lively, but he was smiling and silent.
"Brother Zhang!" A strong man who was five big and three thick, not tall, but very stocky, stood up, raised his glass to Zhang Jincheng and shouted: "Today, we will obey the call of the eldest brother and discuss important matters here!" I, Pei Changcai, am a big boss, I don't know too much, just leave one sentence first, this time's plan, I listen to Brother Zhang! ”
Pei Changcai's statement immediately quieted down the originally noisy hall, Zhang Jincheng looked at Pei Changcai, and a trace of joy flashed in his eyes that was difficult to identify, but his face showed a panicked look, and he waved his hand and said: "Brother Changcai, where are you talking about this!" This time, our brothers and I have come here to meet under the instructions of the Duke of Donghai, and we should be listening to the instructions of the Duke of the East Sea! I, Zhang Jin, said that how can I de, and where can I have the ability to instruct my brothers? ”
"Brother Zhang's words are wrong!" At this time, another person stood up and shouted at Zhang Jincheng: "Although this time it is the brothers convened by the Donghai Gong, but the location of this gathering is Brother Zhang's Gaojibo, as the so-called guest is the host, since Brother Zhang is the master of Gaojibo, then we should obey Brother Zhang's arrangement!" "This person is thin and tall, and his face is skinny and bone-like, and he is Guo Fangzhen from Beihai.
Hearing Guo Fang's words, all the heroes present involuntarily put down the cups in their hands, only a few bandit leaders who were not of the highest grade responded in response, but the real big heads were silent. Everyone knows in their hearts that Pei Changcai and Guo Fangzhen have always called Zhang Jin the head of the horse, and when they suddenly mentioned this stubble, it was clear that Zhang Jin said that he was the ghost!
Everyone knew it, and their eyes involuntarily turned to the seat sitting on Zhang Jincheng's left hand side, on this seat, there were two people, but they were the representatives of the East China Sea Gong Gaoshida who had convened the group of heroes to discuss with Gaojibo this time! One of them was a burly man, with a dignified appearance, and his beard was not vulgar, but added a bit of pride. The other person is a man dressed as a scholar, sitting next to the big man, and he looks handsome, but unfortunately there is an extra scar on his cheek.
That big man is Dou Jiande, the number one general under Gao Shida! As the most powerful hero among the bandits from all walks of life in Henan and Shandong, Gao Shida naturally couldn't come to Gaojibo to participate in the discussion. Over the years, Dou Jiande has fought for Gao Shida in the south and the north, and his reputation is second only to Gao Shida, and he has nothing to say when he comes to represent the heroes.
Seeing Zhang Jincheng's acting with Pei Changcai and Guo Fangpre, Dou Jiande frowned, and the anger in his heart rose up. Only a few people know that the bandits Sun Zuan and Dou Jiande, who occupied Gaojibo back then, were friends who were irreversible, and even Sun Zuan occupied Gaojibo, which was also a front station for Dou Jiande. never thought that before Dou Jiande could come to the rendezvous, Sun Zuan was killed by Zhang Jincheng! Dou Jiande said to Zhang Jin that he had always been full of hatred, if Gao Shida hadn't asked him to focus on the overall situation, he would have led the soldiers and horses to fight with Zhang Jincheng a long time ago! Now facing the enemy at such a close distance, coupled with the pretentiousness that Zhang Jincheng said before, Dou Jiande couldn't wait to rush up immediately and slaughter Zhang Jincheng!
"General! The big picture counts! The overall situation is important! At this time, when the scholar saw Dou Jiande's expression, he knew that Dou Jiande's mood was wrong, so he immediately reached out and touched Dou Jiande's arm, raised his wine glass to cover his mouth, and quietly reminded Dou Jiande: "Don't forget the entrustment of the Duke of Donghai!" Don't spoil the big thing! ”
With the scholar's reminder, Dou Jiande took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the hatred in his heart, picked up the wine glass from the table, drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and forced himself to calm down with the strength of the wine. Immediately Dou Jiande breathed a long sigh of relief, stared at a pair of eyes, looked around, but did not speak. Zhang Jin said that there are people over there, is there no one on Gao Shida's side? Sure enough, after seeing Dou Jiande's eyes, right next to Guo Fangyu, a tall and sturdy man stood up and shouted loudly: "What nonsense!" The brothers gathered here for the sake of the face of the Duke of the East Sea, if we don't listen to the Duke of the East Sea, then what is it? My Sun Xuanya is not convinced by anyone in this life, so I will serve the Duke of Donghai! ”
"Not bad, not bad!" Opposite Sun Xuanya, another strong man stood up, directly put the wine glass on the table, and shouted: "Donghai Gong has always been affectionate and righteous, and the brothers follow him to do things, and they are down-to-earth, not like some people!" Hum! I, Hao Xiaode, also say this, except for Donghai Gong, I don't listen to anyone! ”
As soon as Sun Xuanya and Hao Xiaode said this, they brought the support of several leaders, and Zhang Jincheng, who was sitting at the top of the list, turned pale. Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, when he really saw someone speaking out against him, Zhang Jincheng was still very uncomfortable in his heart, and glared fiercely at Dou Jiande, who was silent, but Zhang Jincheng was not easy to turn his face, so he let the people on both sides argue in the hall.
The people here are all men who dare to raise their heads to rebel, where do they have such a good temper, this dispute starts, and the anger gradually grows. Pei Changcai over there was a little stupid, he couldn't be reasonable, so he directly burst into a foul mouth, and where could Hao Xiaode, who had the hottest temper on the other side, hold back, and immediately roared angrily, and pounced directly towards Pei Changcai. In this way, the two sides have officially changed from bickering to doing, Sun Xuanya and Guo Fangyu have also joined the battle group, and in this fight, they bumped into those originally neutral heroes, which also involved them. There were more and more people fighting, and in the blink of an eye, the hall that had just been lively and lively became a mess.
"Stop!" With this sudden loud shout, I saw that several black shadows suddenly flashed in the hall, interspersed among the people, and the battle group was broken up in a blink of an eye, and then, I saw a middle-aged elegant man in red slowly walking in from outside the hall, looking at the mess in the hall, his face was full of anger, and shouted: "When is this!" You are still fighting in the nest here, isn't this obviously a cheap court? ”
"Ahh Maharaja! "Prince!"
After seeing the middle-aged man come in, the faces of all the heroes present changed, and then they all stood up and saluted at the middle-aged man, with a heartfelt respect, even Dou Jiande and Zhang Jincheng, who had been sitting still before, were no exception. And after the black shadows separated from the group, they flashed back behind the middle-aged man, but they were five strong men who were also dressed in red. This middle-aged man can have such prestige among these unruly heroes, naturally he is not an ordinary person, he is the first hero in the world to rise up against the Sui, known as Wang Bo, known as the Zhishilang of Changbai Mountain!
In terms of prestige, Wang Bo's fame is much greater than that of Gao Shida and Zhang Jin, originally the northern heroes were all headed by Wang Bo, and even Gao Shida and Zhang Jin said that they had to take Wang Bo as the head of the horse. Last year, Wang Bo even summoned heroes from all walks of life to form a coalition army, originally wanting to occupy Henan in one go, and the coalition army was huge, and there were hundreds of thousands of people! It's a pity that Wang Bo ran into his nemesis, Zhang Xutuo!
After several fierce battles, the coalition army was defeated by Zhang Xutuo, and all the heroes were forced to disperse, and Wang Bo, who was the leader of the coalition army, was directly expelled from his stronghold Changbai Mountain by Zhang Xutuo. But even so, Wang Bo's reputation is not falling but rising, if it weren't for Wang Bo at the last moment to knock Zhang Xutuo with his own strength at the last moment, the heroes would not have had a chance to escape back to their respective strongholds safely, for Wang Bo, the heroes are all grateful.
Wang Bo slowly walked to the center of the hall, looked around at the people around him, and shouted loudly: "There is no way for the faint king, and the people of the world are suffering, and it is precisely because of the support of the people that we have this opportunity to rise up against the Sui!" Although you are now in a high position, don't forget that the heavy responsibility on your shoulders is to overthrow the imperial court! Give the people a peaceful and prosperous world! ”
