Chapter 343: The Loyal Army
Zhao Guanhou looked at Zhang Yuting, first asked him to sit down, and then asked Sun Meiyao to offer tea, and then asked, "Big brother, where did you get the news about this?" ”
"Hanada Nakanosuke, that little devil has also been living on the octagonal platform, and as soon as Gao Sheng comes, he will know what's going on. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info These days, they Fusang people have gone around to find out the news, and they have already asked them to find out the whereabouts of your girl. He originally wanted to tell you in person, so I stopped him. I said, Guanhou is my brother, what do you say to me, it's the same as when you say to him. I think so, their small noses are the same as big noses, they don't have good intentions, and helping you inquire about this news is nothing more than selling it well and making you owe them favors. The most difficult human debt in the world to repay, especially those who owe them, don't know how to strangle your neck in the future, you are an official, and it is not good to owe them. I don't care, it's just this pile of pieces, the whole plate is more than 100 catties, what about throwing it to him? I owe him a favor, so I killed a few more big noses for him, it really me off, I wiped my face, it, I don't know him, and he didn't take me. You are an official, you have to be decent, we are bandits, don't worry about this. ”
Although his words were rough, but this sentiment was true, Zhao Guanhou hurriedly hugged his fists to thank him, and asked, "Where is Feng Xi now?" ”
"In that part of the Black Dragon Ridge, there is a shack for mountain chasers, and now she is there. is with the people of Liu Danzi of the Loyal and Righteous Army, and it is not clear what the relationship between the two sides is, but the other information is correct. These little noses are not easy to mess with, they have too many eyes and ears outside the gate, and in the past few days, the letter has made them listen to it, and when dealing with them, it is necessary to be careful. ”
"It's true, the Tiele people are rough and easy to fool, and the Fusang people are vicious and good at scheming, so they are an opponent who needs to be greeted more carefully. This, let's not mention him, just say that this loyal and righteous army has a great reputation, but he doesn't know how to get involved with Feng Xi. It seems that this Liu Daheng is going to touch me. ”
When Tiele invaded Guanwai, the officers and troops were crushed at the first touch, and even when they heard the alarm, they had no combat effectiveness at all, and they did not make a decent resistance. What really came up to fight Tiele was the ordinary people living here, the landlords and even the green forest bandits. Either because of the damage to its own interests, or because of its simple and simple feelings, it uses all kinds of primitive weapons to challenge the huge empire.
Liu Danzi Liu Yonghe is one of the best, he is skilled in guns and horses, and he is known to beat people without a second shot, and he is known for his prestige in the green forest. At the height of its loyalty, the strength of the army exceeded 10,000 people, and at present, although the government and Tiele jointly attacked, the troops fled to death, and a henchman horse team in his hand also had 400 people, which was a difficult to provoke in the Guanwai Locks.
Moreover, he has a reputation in his beard, and from Jilin to Shengjing, he can still call on hundreds of green forest heroes to join his team, taking advantage of the current environment of Fusang Tiele to start troops, his loyal army has a great tendency to revivenation. And the Fusang people sold this information to Zhao Guanhou, not only to sell the good city, but also to borrow a knife to kill people.
Liu Danzi's opposition to the Tiele people does not mean that he likes the Fusang people, and if Fusang wants to encroach on the outside of the Guanwai in the future, Liu Danzi and others are the biggest obstacles. It is because he also has the intention of using Zhao Guanhou to get rid of this stumbling block. And Zhang Yuting was anxious to get rid of Liu Danzi, in addition to the reason of morality, he was also worried that he would become bigger in western Liaoning and become the overlord of the green forest, and the foundation he had built up with great difficulty would have to be swallowed up by him.
For this kind of calculation, Zhao Guanhou can understand it with a little calculation, but since Feng Xi is there, he always has to bring people back to talk about it, and he can't take care of the rest. He groaned slightly, and said to Zhang Yuting: "Big brother, I understand your kindness, but I can't trouble you about this, as soon as you help me, I can't do it to meet Governor Xu before the Lantern Festival." After the Lantern Festival, there is no reason to pay New Year's greetings, which is not good for your future. ”
"Fuck Xu Juren, what do you love! My old Zhang first had a friend, and then he had an official body. I still live so big without an official body, and without friends, I have already become a road. We're buddies, how many people is he Xu Ju? It's important to give my buddies a head, Xu Juren doesn't see me, and I don't see him yet. said that he was the governor, and I was his subordinate, and if it was not good, I took people to take off their official clothes and take the guys, and then pulled the locks to set up a big ball, eating and drinking spicy food, I don't care about him. ”
"It's just that at this time, it's not easy for the team to close. Besides, Liu Danzi has prestige in the green forest, and if you touch him, you may not be sure. ”
"I don't care about his prestige, it's all about shoulders and a head, who is more than whom, I'm not afraid of this. I sent a post to my brother Feng Linge and Du Lisan from Liaoxi, asking them to send troops, and we will join forces to meet Liu Danzi together. If he knows each other, send your girl out obediently, let's finish it, if you don't know each other, I will level his Black Dragon Ridge! ”
Seeing Zhang Yuting away, Sun Meiyao hesitated for a while, but still said: "Boss, there is something I don't know whether to say or not, don't be annoyed when you say it." Feng Xi has been with people for so many days, if it is her old friend, dry wood and firefire......"
She peeked at Zhao Guanhou, shook her head again, and said, "I'...... I know I shouldn't say that, I just want you to decide for yourself whether it's worth it to do something like this for the sake of a girl. Besides, it was my idea to let her serve you in the first place, and it was not completely voluntary, if I brought her back, can I raise my noble hand, at least not harm her life. ”
Zhao Guanhou pulled her into his arms, put his hand on her long legs and rubbed it gently, "What kind of vulgar thing do you treat me as?" Will you be haunted by this kind of thing and even kill someone? If she really wants to go with the man, I'll give her a sum of money and send her away. If she couldn't help herself, I wouldn't blame her. I didn't arrest someone this time to hurt her face or want revenge, there was only one reason to find her, and that was that I didn't want anyone to force her to do something she didn't want to do. Anyway, she has also been with me, and I should ensure that she can live according to her own ideas, and not be coerced by others. ”
Sun Meiyao didn't seem to understand it, but she could also understand the voluntary meaning in his words, and she was very moved, "Among the men in this world, there are few men who can say that women have the right to choose by themselves like you." Just for this, it's not a loss to you. ”
Five days later, the entire octagonal platform was already boiling, and the bandits from all walks of life who had been gathered under Zhang Yuting's command during this time, as well as the people and horses under Feng Linge and Du Li's three subordinates, also gathered here. They may not want to give Zhang Yuting face, but no one dares not to give face to the Lord Zhao behind Zhang Yuting, God knows if this refusal to borrow troops this time will be a few days later, they will be beaten by the officials and soldiers and the same way in the green forest, and the cottage will be leveled.
In addition, Fusang also played a great role in it, under the conditions of foreign guns, grain, and banknotes promised by these Fuso gold lords, these heroes in the white mountains and black waters, rode horses, lifted fast guns, and marched towards the octagonal platform.
In Xinmin, four hundred mercenaries led by Ryan Stein have arrived at the Octagon. For these high-nosed and blue-eyed foreigners, the bandits are more of a Western view, and at the same time, most of the bandits also have a great fear of Zhao Guanhou in their hearts, after all, so many foreign devils ******** him, how good does this person have to be?
Ryan Stein was in the guest room, stomping the snow on his feet and saying, "The order given to us by Governor Xu is to prohibit sending troops. He had already decided to recruit Liu Yonghe's subordinates, formally confer the post of commander of the third battalion, and incorporate his subordinates into the patrol battalion. Therefore, our troops were ordered by him to stay in Xinmin and not to leave, but fortunately, I and my mercenaries belonged to the Wuwei Front Army, and he had no right to restrict our movements. ”
Sun Meiyao said angrily: "How can this be reasonable? We have done Lao Xu such a big favor, without us, how can he catch Zengqi, and now he is coming with us! ”
"It's normal, Donghai is a person who does big things, and his eyes are looking at the world, the common people, and the overall situation. In his opinion, recruiting Liu Yonghe and using his popularity to integrate the bandits in the entire western Liaoning, the people can suffer less in the first place. After that, these integrated green forest ringing horses will attack the rear of the Tiele people, and end the war as soon as possible, so that the people can get out of the sea of suffering, and he can also restore the livelihood of the people outside the border as soon as possible. In contrast, just one Fengxi is insignificant at all. After all, she is just a girl in the room, and she doesn't even have a name, if Liu Yonghe speaks, he will even suggest that I send her out and make up for other benefits for me. His eyes look at millions of Kanto elders, and my eyes look at the gains and losses of one or two people. ”
Ryanstein nodded, "That's right." Mr. Tokai told me that he hoped that everyone would take the overall situation into account and not lose the big because of small things. What is most needed outside the border now is to restore order and end the war as soon as possible, and he wants me to ask you a question, which is more important, a million people in the northeast, or a woman. ”
I will answer him with my actions. Mei Yao, inform the people outside, get ready, finish eating, and leave immediately! ”
The neighing of war horses and the noise of people made a noise, and the miscellaneous armed forces that gathered the forces of the large and small mountains in western Liaoning left the octagonal platform, like a nest of ants out of a hole, scattered among the countryside and marched towards the goal. The Spring Festival has just passed, and the disaster has come again, and the people are trembling as they watch these beards whizzing past them, and a sense of despair rises in their hearts: when will this troubled world subside.
The shack under the Black Dragon Ridge was built by a group of mountain chasers as a temporary station. As usual, there will be dry food, salt, flint and other items in the shack, so that the fellow people who drive the mountain can come in to warm up and eat. This is also the rule handed down from the old generation to help each other. After Liu Danzi's loyal army chose this place as a temporary station, they expanded their shacks to accommodate these hundreds of heroes.
The foot power is all outside the free-range, there are horses and mules, but overall, the proportion of horses is higher. In the previous battle with Tieler, they captured a lot of Tieler's fast guns, making the equipment of the loyal and righteous army the top in the entire green forest outside the pass. With these skilled heroes, even if they are masters of the imperial court, they can't help it.
In the middle of the shack is the temporary justice hall, where Liu Danzi, who is in his forties, sits in the first place, pulling the fire in the brazier in front of him, and chatting with distinguished guests. "Brother Guojie, can our mushrooms on the north road be sold at a high price in the south? If you really want to say that you have entered the customs, your eyes are dark, and you are not touching anything, I am afraid that I have missed your big thing. ”
"Great boss, you are so gracious. Let's not go to the river, just fight guerrillas in Shandong, and with me and the Tiehu brothers as your guides, it will be like your own home, and there will be absolutely no problem. ”
"Guerrilla fighting, that's okay, it's no different from now. However, the officers and soldiers in Shandong are not easy to deal with, this is one of them; My banner is the Loyal Army, and I take my brothers to fight big noses, and everyone follows me. I dragged them into the customs to fight the imperial court, and I don't know how many people will be left. Of course, you are holding a letter of recommendation from Tan seniors, and I must believe you, but let me bring my family business to Guannei, I have to think about it. ”
Ma Guojie, who has become much more mature now, is not in a hurry, and in the negotiations with this bandit leader in the past few days, he also found that Liu Yonghe's pattern is just a thief. His ability and insight are not strong, and compared with those people he saw during his wanderings, it is not difficult to convince him.
"The situation outside the gate is getting worse and worse, and the octagonal platform sweeps the green forest, and there is a great tendency to annex all walks of life. Jilin, Heilongjiang, Fusang and Tiele people are not friendly to you. At the moment, either a war will start in Liaoxi and Octagon, or it will enter the customs. Inside the octagonal platform, they are all our compatriots, are you willing to aim your guns at them? And when we arrived in Shandong, the guns were aimed at the barbarians who stole artifacts and enslaved our people. You are a heroic man who stands up to the sky, and you should contribute to the Han people, expel the Tartars, and restore China. ”
In the past few days, Ma Guojie has been talking about all kinds of cool deeds in the southward movement of the Jin people, and there are many people in the loyal army who have been moved by his words. Of course, the more important reason is that the living environment outside the customs is getting worse and worse. The loyal and righteous army had two scargeons of food and salary, and lost the support of the original local heroes, and their lives were very difficult. When you go to the customs, you can supplement the military salary, grain and grass, and this condition is really moving.
It's just that recently, the Jin State government sent someone to discuss the integration with the Loyal and Righteous Army, and gave a position as the commander of the third battalion, which made Liu Danzi hesitate. I don't know whether to defect to the government or follow this group of people to do Ge Ming. The people of the green forest gamble heavily, but this treasure is a matter of life and death, no matter who they are, they dare not bet at will, they have to think carefully before they can decide.
He quietly turned the charcoal fire, "You let me think again." Let's take care of your sister and Tiehu first, what's going on with the two of them? Didn't you say that you have been married since you were a child, how do you look awkward. ”
Ma Guojie laughed dryly, "Women are like this, ashamed." When you become a parent, it's fine. She and the Tiehu brothers are baby relatives, and they grew up together since childhood, if they hadn't fallen into the hands of the surnamed Zhao, they wouldn't have been like this. This time, borrowing the place of the big boss to do a happy event can be regarded as a wish of the iron tiger. ”
Liu Danzi smiled: "This is nothing, Brother Tiehu is my good brother Jiangshan good second pole, it is the same as my brother, I have asked the cubs to go out and prepare, give him a good live." When the happy event is over, I will touch a few masters, and let's see the way. If everyone is willing to go to Shandong, it is naturally the best, and if we can't go, we won't hurt the peace. After all, you have the face of Old Man Tan, I have to let you go. ”
This road gang just settled down in the kiln a year ago, and the New Year was not stable, until this time to do a happy event, there was finally a hint of lively atmosphere. The leaders of all walks of life went to look at the beautiful bride and send blessings to Tiehu, but they were old and sophisticated, and they always felt that the atmosphere between the two was a little awkward. It doesn't seem to be the same as I imagined. They are used to this kind of thing, and women, after stripping naked, sleep again, and accept their fate. So many women have come over like this, and this one named Fengxi will not be an exception. (To be continued.) )
