Chapter 150: Xie Wendong
A river rushes out of a valley in the grassland, all the way south, cutting a deep ditch between the forest ridges on the dam to the south. A path runs through this deep ravine, flanked by steep and protruding rock walls. This is a shortcut path leading to Peach Mountain in Yehuling, the sheep intestine path.
Dou Jiande's scout camp is set up in this hidden valley, these days, Dou Jiande's scout camp is fully monitoring Taoshan's movements, and even boldly sent Zhang Jincheng to pretend to be a group of green forests who came to meet the alliance to enter the Taoshan alliance camp. Ling Yun had already sent a herald to inform him that Ling Yun personally led 5,000 men and horses to leave the wilderness yesterday and was scheduled to arrive at the foot of Taoshan tomorrow to fight a decisive battle with the allied forces of Daqing Mountain and Green Forest. The herald conveyed Ling Yun's outstanding performance of Dou Jiande, Zhang Jincheng, and the scout regiment, and gave him a commendation, which was included in the military merit book, and was rewarded for his meritorious deeds after the war. In addition, Ling Yun gave Dou Jiande two tasks, first, to find a way to keep an eye on the leaders of the allied forces such as Zhang Qingshan, the old knife handle, and Zhang Cheng, the black tiger, to prevent them from escaping from the defeated army. Second, the more critical the decisive battle came, the more careful it should be, and the scout group should closely monitor the various divisions of Momoyama and pay close attention to the movements of each division, so as to prevent men and horses from suddenly attacking Huaihuang.
Dou Jiande listened carefully to the herald's relay, and took the letter and read it carefully. After rewarding the heralds and placing them, Dou Jiande called the two brigade commanders, Hao Xiaode and Sun Anzu.
"Saburo will arrive at the foot of Momoyama tomorrow, and I plan to go to Momoyama in person." After the information of the Taoshan Allied Army transmitted back by Zhang Jincheng in the past few days, Dou Jiande, like Ling Yun, no longer had any doubts about the victory of the Huaihuang Army this time. At this time, he planned to go to the Peach Mountain camp, mainly to complete Ling Yun's first mission, keeping an eye on important targets such as the old knife handle and the black tiger, in case they were defeated and fled without a trace.
"We'll go with you." Sun Anzu and the two humane.
"No, you two stay here, and keep an eye on the various roads leading to Huaihuang for me, even if a bird flies by, we must control the movement, and we must not let them suddenly kill Huaihuang. This time, Saburo's meaning was to intercept the enemy outside of Huaihuang and deal with it directly. Dou Jiande said. For Dou, this is an important opportunity for him to show his abilities. He had already decided that Ling Yun would have a lot to do, so he was determined to follow Ling Yun to make contributions and get ahead. A domestic slave in a pillar country can almost ruin his family, which makes it difficult for Dou Jiande to calm down in his heart. But how can a farmer in Hebei get ahead? Too hard? And now there is an opportunity in front of us, that is, to follow Lingyun and take advantage of Lingyun's momentum. Now Ling Yun asked him to lead a scout group alone, showing his trust in him. But a small scout group master is not enough, he also needs to better show himself in order to gain greater trust and a higher position. Now there are more than 20,000 people in the Huaihuang army, but as soon as the grass was built, many important positions are vacant, which in his opinion, it is the capable people who can live there.
After some arrangement, Dou Jiande selected more than ten riders, and after changing clothes, he rushed to Taoshan.
In the woods on the outskirts of Taoshan, Zhang Jin said that he was patiently waiting in the forest with his brothers and a group.
"Why haven't people arrived yet?" Zhang Jincheng asked the leading man next to him.
"Be patient." Zhang Jin replied. They are waiting here to connect with Dou Jiande, this time Dou Jiande will also sneak into the Taoshan camp, as for the man next to him, he is the second leader of the Black Stone Village, Lei Laohu. Lei Laohu is Chinese New Year's Eve six today, he is young and strong, but it has been 20 years since he fell into the grass in Heishi Village. It is also well-known in the villages of Daqingshan, and people give it the nickname Thunderbolt Tiger. Years of bandit life have made him develop a fierce, irascible and cunning character, he is illiterate, does not believe in gods and Buddhas, and does not even distinguish between good and evil. He believes that in life, the grass and trees are autumn, you can't come in vain, you have to seize the time to enjoy happiness, and you must have wine, meat and women. He knows his character very well, and if he only relies on his own ability to live a peaceful life, he will definitely not be able to do it. In this case, of course, it is good to do the promising business of green forest. He really thinks that doing the no-capital business of the green forest is the most worry-free and happy, not to mention drinking wine and eating meat in a big bowl, and he can enter the cave house every day and be a groom every day. Every time he goes out to do business, as long as he meets a young woman, he must snatch it back to be the wife of the village, and every time he grabs back, he must become a relative, hold a ceremony, enter a cave room, and be a groom. Of course, he is still a person who likes the new and hates the old, and every time he has a new person, he forgets the old one. When the new lady is introduced, he will reward the original lady to his brother as a daughter-in-law. This can be regarded as eating meat by himself, and the brothers followed to drink soup. Over the years, he himself can't tell how many wives he has married, but most of his brothers have daughters-in-law, and naturally, most of those daughters-in-law are rewarded by him. Counting it, it's more than a hundred.
However, Lei Laohu is only a second-in-command in Heishi Village, and Heishi Village is a big village in Daqingshan, and there are more than 5,000 people in the entire cottage, and there are more than 1,000 brothers in the war camp alone. This time, the thirty-six villages that responded to the old knife handle, and the black stone village was one of them. In this chaotic crowd of people and horses under Peach Mountain, there are a full 1,500 brothers in Heishi Village. Xie Wendong, the big boss of Heishi Village, is a mixed Hu-Han race, and his ancestors have Xianbei blood. The family had also been beautiful, but by the time he arrived, the family had already declined. When he was young, he was designed to take away a lot of land and property because of the land and green feud with the big clan of Lingcun, and in a fit of anger, he sneaked into the enemy's house on a dark and windy night, killed more than 30 people on the other side in one go, and then set fire to the other party's house. Because the ancestor is also a military general, he has won fame by virtue of his good martial arts and the character of righteousness and light wealth practiced since childhood, and gradually became the big boss of Heishi Village. Heishi Village is a cottage built on the Daqing Mountain on the border of the grassland and the Central Plains, and its survival depends entirely on robbery, kidnapping, and doing whatever money can be made. Whether it is a Turkic or a Han Chinese, or a Xi or Khitan person, whether he is a merchant or a common man, or even an army, as long as he encounters it, the opportunity is right, and he will not be polite to arrest whoever he wants.
is somewhat different from other cottages, Xie Wendong, who is famous in the rivers and lakes, has a rule, that is, you can rob anyone, but you can't rob the poor people. On the surface, of course, everyone says that it is robbing the rich to help the poor, and there is a way to steal, but in fact, many people in the cottage feel that the poor really have nothing to rob of oil and water, so it is better to have a good reputation by pushing the boat down the river.
It is precisely because of the reputation of not robbing the poor people of robbing the rich and helping the poor, over the years, many people on the border often come to Heishizhai, there are Han people and Hu people, both fleeing and avoiding revenge, all kinds of things, which makes the population of Heishizhai reach more than 5,000 people, as if it has become a mountain town on the border. Because of this reputation and population, Heishi Village has gradually become a famous village in the green forest of Daqing Mountain.
This time, the old knife leader convened the alliance of various villages, and he attached great importance to Xie Wendong's Black Stone Village, and sent people to invite them to come to the alliance.
After the alliance, Xie Wendong also became one of the main talkers of the alliance, but the mountain carving had been mixed in the green forest for many years, and after staying in Taoshan with the people for a while, he immediately felt a bad omen. Back then, he Xie Wendong and his Heishi Zhai were also one of the members of the Tiger League, and he had seen the heyday of the Tiger League, which was completely different from the current mess in Momoyama. He also heard that Ling Yun had defeated thousands of fierce Bayegu cavalry and thousands of Xi soldiers in the Battle of Shihe, so he had an extra heart. Privately sent people to Huaihuang to observe, but the scouts sent out were robbed by Dou Jiande, and after several temptations, Xie Wendong actually got on the head with Zhang Jincheng.
Dou Jiande had the idea of rebelling against Heishizhai, and Xie Wendong also had the idea of changing ships, and the two sides hit it off.
Xie Wendong's idea of changing was not sudden, he has been in Daqingshan for decades, and it is not simple to be able to gain a foothold in the green forest and manage the Black Stone Village to its current power. The old knife handle's green forest has a high level of prestige, and the black tiger Zhang Cheng is also very young and vigorous, but the combination of their sons-in-law is not enough for him to stand on their side steadily. He heard that Yi Lingyun, the new leader of the Tiger Alliance, had been acting so fiercely recently, all because when Yi Feng was in Jiangnan, he had already taken refuge in Yang Guang, the second prince of the imperial court, and had received Yang Guang's strong support. There are even secret rumors that Yi Feng, the righteous son of Murong Ke, the old boss of the Tiger League, is actually the illegitimate son of Yang Guang, the king of Jin, who was lost in his early years, and now the father and son recognize each other, Yang Guang gave Yi Feng an official position, and recruited the Tiger League, this time Yi Feng went north, and he also sent several captains and hundreds of cronies and private soldiers to the north to protect Yi Feng. It was with these elites of the Jin Dynasty that Yi Feng seized the power of Huaihuang and defeated the people of Baye Guren. The combination of these news made Xie Wendong completely change his mind, and began to carry the old knife to start the idea of changing ships.
Shanzhai people don't care about loyalty, what they believe in is the law of the jungle, the old knife is already old, how can they confront a Yi Feng who is standing behind the Prince of Da Sui?
There is nothing wrong with knowing the time to be a handsome, a good bird also knows how to choose a tree to perch, and a good minister to choose the master to serve.
Now Xie Wendong is waiting for the price to sell, and he has to talk about the conditions. Even if he changes ships, he hopes to get certain benefits. As long as the price is enough, he is immediately willing to fight back for Yi Feng, stab the allies in Daqingshan in the back, and come to Cao Ying's heart in Han. The price that Xie Wendong expects in his heart is that Yi Feng can give him a batch of money and food, and in addition, he also wants to be recruited, if he can be a bridge for him and help him find an official position, it is enough. When he got old, he actually thought that one day he would be able to return to his hometown and return to his roots.
At the foot of Peach Mountain, the chaotic camp where the horses were stationed was full of tents and shacks, and Lei Lao Hu returned with a group of his men, and their horses were hitched with the harvested rabbits, roe deer and other prey. It attracted the envy of many people, but it was clear that it was Lei Laohu's team, but no one dared to come forward. They each looked at each other with envy, and then went back again, and no one noticed that the team that Thunder Tiger came back with obviously twenty or thirty more horses than when he went out. Dou Jiande and Zhang Jincheng and their subordinates disguised as Lei Laohu's subordinates followed the ranks of the people and horses of Heishizhai and passed through the camp of the Allied army.
The camp at the foot of the hill was stinking and littered with garbage, and from time to time there were the moaning and screaming of women and the laughter and scolding of men. There are also some people who cook on the fire outside, and drink alcohol in the white, and these people are very free every day when they come here, except for hunting, gambling and drinking, and fighting when they have nothing to do.
Dou Jiande looked at the appearance of this camp, and shook his head secretly, Zhang Jin said that the information he came back before, saying how chaotic the Taoshan camp was, he still didn't believe it, thinking it was an exaggeration, but after seeing it with his own eyes, he finally understood what kind of chaos this was. He thought of Huaihuang Military Town, although Huaihuang Army also had some chaos after its initial construction, but compared with this peach mountain, it was really a heaven and an underground.
Looking at these copycats, there was only one word in his head, "The rabble, vulnerable." ”
They gradually walked into the peach mountain, the situation was slightly better, the more inside, the more people and horses were stationed, there were some cottage soldiers and horses with slightly more people and horses, compared to the scattered mess outside, the situation inside was getting better, at least you could see some camps.
The camp of Heishi Village is at the foot of the innermost mountain, and the other thirty-three families camp around Taoshan, and on the mountain are two groups of people and horses, Taohua Village and Tieshan Village. The camp of the black stone village is very decent, there is a wooden fence barracks, there is a ditch that is not wide, and there are several arrow towers and lookouts. In broad daylight, there are rules in the camp, and there is no scene of wandering around, and there are guards standing guard on patrol. Dou Jiande nodded secretly, this Xie Wendong and Lei Laohu do not only have vision, but also have ability, and they bring good people.
Lei Laohu led people into the camp, then disbanded the team, and took Dou Jiande and Zhang Jincheng into Xie Wendong's big tent.
As soon as he entered the account, Xie Wendong had already stepped forward, and said to Dou Jiande and the two with some flattery: "Presumably, these two are General Dou and General Zhang, the generals under the command of the Lord of the Yi League. ”
Dou Jiande, who pretended to be a thief, arched his hand, "Dou Jiande has seen Lord Xie Zhai, and he was invited to come, I don't know if Lord Xie Zhai has made a decision." ”
Xie Wendong stretched out his hand to give up his seat, "I don't know how the Lord of the Yi Alliance plans to deal with these tens of thousands of troops in Taoshan?" ”
Dou Jiande smiled disappreciatively: "Tens of thousands of troops? Could it be that I saw a mistake along the way just now, I didn't see the tens of thousands of troops mentioned by Lord Xie Zhai, only a group of rabble. ”
Xie Wendong's face froze, and his expression was a little stiff.
Dou Jiande didn't seem to see Xie Wendong's embarrassment, and said, "It's just a rabble, the master of the Yi Alliance just needs to sweep it away." But Xie Zhai, since you want to surrender, you have to show some sincerity, otherwise, there is no evidence, how do we know that you are not a fraud? ”
"We are naturally sincere, General Dou said this, it really chills someone."
"Then prove it to us."
Xie Wendong was a little embarrassed, "There are only 1,500 people in my department, and there is really a huge disparity in power." ”
"Don't worry, we won't ask you to hit the stone with an egg, these rabble have our own to deal with, you just need to follow our instructions, keep an eye on the old knife handle and the black tiger when the time comes, and don't let them lose their whereabouts."
"All it takes?"
"That's all it takes!"
Xie Wendong was a little surprised, and thought that Yi Feng wanted him to attack Taoshan and use the head of the old knife to make a nomination, but he didn't expect it, but it was just such a simple request. "Dare to ask, when will the Lord of the Alliance act?"
"When the alliance leader acts, he has his own arrangements, don't worry about you, you just have to keep an eye on the target." Dou Jiande replied coldly, and did not reveal the military situation that Yi Feng would arrive at the foot of Taoshan tomorrow. Although Ling Yun didn't plan to carry out a surprise attack, he didn't reveal anything he shouldn't have said because of this. rs
