Chapter 809: Prisoner at the Bottom, Guest at the Seat

Being able to see the light of day again this time is like a world away for Qiao Yan, who was imprisoned by Tian Hu.

In fact, when it comes to his imprisonment this time, it is not without signs in advance. At the beginning, Tian Hu convened his ministers in Liaozhou to discuss national policies, and his solitary awakening was the root cause of his future tragedy. Looking back at his suggestion that day, if Tian Hu could resolutely adopt his strategy and preemptively control the Yellow River, the situation in Hedong would not collapse to this point.

It's a pity that Tian Hu is a rough billet who doesn't know how to introspect, not only because of the unhappiness of the war, but also because of the unhappiness of the war, he was also deliberately alienated by Tian Hu. So much so that he was a dignified national teacher, but he couldn't even see Tian Hu's face when he was idle.

Qiao Yan is not a person who can't control his mouth, he knows that he has repeated the mistakes of Yuan Shao's evil Tian Feng, and he can still endure his anger with all kinds of evil policies promulgated by the Jin State on weekdays, the key is that in the end, Tian Hu, who has no gambling products, has reached the point where he can't afford to lose, and he has gradually become frustrated, and even the only remaining bit of friendship has no scruples, and he has begun to perversely act in Hedong, and the scourge of the people has reached the point of holding on to the open fire.

Qiao Yan really couldn't hold back and forcibly stopped Tian Hu's royal car, but before he could explain his words clearly, he was directly imprisoned by Tian Hu. The rebellion of the Great Song Dynasty was rejected by his lord and became a double offender of the imperial court and the Jin Kingdom, Qiao Yan felt that the first half of his life was synonymous with funny.

The warmth of spring from Tian Hu again was when he thought he was going to be escorted to the execution ground. After eating a full meal and washing up, he wrote a letter and asked someone to bring it to his old friend Sun An, who was far away in Jingdong, to support him with his family.

But a dramatic scene happened at this moment, the suicide note didn't need to be carried, he could just send it himself. Because Tian Hu really couldn't find someone who could speak in front of Wang Lun, in the end he was still an unbelievable character, and recommended him to Tian Hu who was in prison.

Although Tian Hu's smile was full of sincerity. But Qiao Yan was already insensitive, he had seen through this person thoroughly, and attributed the first half of his life to a joke. If it weren't for Tian Hu's number one mastermind, Fang Xuedu, who spoke to him frankly, maybe he wouldn't want to take this errand.

"The Taoist chief has two pences in Shandong, both himself and my master. If you're willing to stay there, stay. Neither Your Majesty nor I will blame you. But please also remember one thing, that is, you were once the national teacher of the Great Jin Kingdom! As far as the grace of knowing is concerned, Your Majesty is worthy of you! ”

Smart people don't need to speak thoroughly, but they are too straightforward and fall into the bottom. Tian Hu's almost pleading tone couldn't match Fang Xuedu's heartfelt sentences. In the end, Qiao Yan hit the road with a heavy heart. A companion and a bag of clothes became his last thoughts of bidding farewell to this force.

From Xinzhou to Jeju, Hedong is hard to go, and Hebei is enough to choke. This unprecedented vicious battle swept not only Hedong. The adjacent West Hebei Road has long been flooded with refugees, and people fleeing with their families can be found everywhere on the road. Qiao Yan also began to reflect on whether his life ambition had deviated.

Rushing with questions has the advantage of being able to expel the boredom and monotony of the journey. It's just that the farther you go, the further south. The more frightened he became, the more he let go of the confusion in his heart for a moment. Because he was surprised to find that the main force that helped these refugees along the way was not the local state capital of the imperial court. Instead, it is a green forest cottage known as Yumachuan.

Drinking Machuan Qiao Yan has heard of it, it used to be an inconspicuous village, and later the two masters were absorbed by Liangshan, and the cottage was abandoned. Later, it was occupied by some unsuccessful little guys. When Fang Xuedu recruited Hebei bandits, he didn't pay attention to this cottage, so you can imagine the embarrassment of this group.

But now. What embarrassing people do is not embarrassing, opening porridge shops everywhere, relieving refugees, and pointing out the maze, it is far more court-like than trying everything possible to send refugees out of the local state capitals of their respective jurisdictions.

I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it. Every day, there is an endless stream of people who go up the mountain to take refuge, and unlike other green forest cottages, they don't even pick what is strong or not, as long as they are willing to go up the mountain, regardless of men, women, old and young. Qiao Yan wondered if he had been sitting on a cold bench and in prison for a long time, out of touch with the world, and he didn't even know that there was such an interesting cottage in Hebei.

If it weren't for the fact that something was going on, Qiao Yan still wanted to go up the mountain in disguise to investigate, but he had no choice but to spy on the periphery. It's no wonder that now the green forests of Hebei are falling, and I can't even meet a friend on the rivers and lakes.

Just when Qiao Yan was suspicious and ready to withdraw, how did he know that there was a new situation in this cottage, one day tens of thousands of court cavalry from the south road, swaggered into the Yinmachuan, only Qiao Yan's companion was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth for a while, "Isn't it that someone in the court is preparing to rebel in Hebei?" ”

Qiao Yan also felt strange, so he temporarily decided to stay for two more days, but he didn't know that this stay would be bad, originally he was not exposed for several days during his secret visit to the mountain, but after this 10,000-strong cavalry team drove into the cottage, he caused trouble.

"Acquaintances, put down your sword! I advise you not to do stupid things! The cold tone made Qiao Yan sense a hint of coolness, he is also an old man who has crossed the world, and he actually capsized in this gutter, he really didn't go out to worship the ancestor, and the bad luck has not been finished.

When Qiao Yan looked back, he found that several angry strong bows were aimed at him, and it was a black-armored general who spoke. Besides, this cottage is full of weirdness, he has faintly made a judgment, and immediately expressed his admit, and did not resist.

The general is also a fine person, feeling that Qiao Yan is not a simple character, he personally stepped forward to search his body, and finally found a letter in his companion's shoes, opened it with the smell, and stared at Qiao Yan up and down repeatedly, and finally said: "Put away all the guys!" ”

Seeing this, Qiao Yan sighed and said with a wry smile: "Fortunately, you are not a real official army!" ”

The general heard the meaning of his words, and smiled: "Fortunately, you are not really meticulous!" ”

Qiao Yan smiled and arched his hand: "Poor Dao Jingyuan Qiao Yan, also known as Daoqing, I don't know which leader of Liangshan Your Excellency is?" Can you tell me your name? ”

"The surname is not high, the name is not expensive, the little brother Huang Xin! In the past, I heard Brother Sun An mention the name of the Magic Monarch, and I don't want to see my face today, which is very comforting! "The black-armored general hugged his fists. Liang Shanbo's reorganization of Yinmachuan is not news on the rivers and lakes, and the other party didn't think it was strange to guess his identity, how did he know that Qiao Yan was a character who had just been released from prison and was out of touch with society, and he only came to the conclusion based on his pitiful amount of information.

"It turned out to be Huang Dujian! Poor and polite! Qiao Yan made a joke and said: "Poor Dao has something to ask to see the leader of the king of Guizhai, and by the way, I visit the old man Sun An, I don't know where the two of them are now?" ”

"This is just a Liangshan village, my brother and Brother Sun An naturally won't come here easily!" Huang Xin was ambiguous and did not easily reveal Wang Lun's whereabouts. Although this person has Tian Hu's letter on his body, it is difficult to ensure the authenticity, this kind of thing still asks Zhu Gui and them to worry about it, "The Taoist is a friend, please go up the mountain to talk about it!" ”

Qiao Yan did not refuse, followed Huang Xin and his party up the mountain, on the way Qiao Yan and Huang Xin asked Liang Shanbo what to do with so many cavalry sent to Hebei, Huang Xin moved, and said tentatively: "I heard that the Taoist chief is Tian Hu's national teacher, the younger brother is curious, I don't know how much Tian Hu spent, deceived from Liaoguo to ride so many times?" ”

"I'm not afraid of Brother Huang's jokes, Poor Dao is a person who has just come out of prison, how they betrayed the country, Poor Dao knows very little. However, these soldiers are not really Liao soldiers, but the Western Xia people disguised themselves as tribal cavalry in the Liao Kingdom, deliberately hiding people's eyes! But now this group of people has escaped from Tian Hu's control, and when they came along the poor road, I heard that they were making a lot of trouble in Hebei. ”

When Huang Xin heard this, eighty percent believed that this person was Qiao Yan, and this matter was considered a very confidential matter in Hedong, and Wang Lun used the secret and hidden inside line of the Diting Camp to find out the inside information.

"Not only is it very fierce, but now it has already caused unrest to the people, and the mountains and rivers have shaken. These thieves had no supplies on them, so they burned and looted along the road to feed the war, and as long as they spent the night, the whole village would be scorched, and all kinds of misery would be unbearable. The Song Dynasty is busy dealing with your 'Your Majesty', and its attention is all on Hedong. There are a few officials and soldiers in Hebei who can fight, but there is no order from the Privy Council, and it is difficult to leave the country to encircle and suppress, so they only go around in various states and capitals, so this group of soldiers is big! Huang Xin said indignantly. This incident caused even his brother who was far away in Goryeo to know about it, and he went to Xinyanshan to discuss with the leader of Du Bai under Wang Qing, and asked him to send troops nearby to control the violence.

"Sin, sin!" Qiao Yan was ashamed, although he himself was extremely opposed to getting mixed with Fanren, but Huang Xin's sentence "Your Majesty" still deeply stimulated him, and after being silent for a long time, Qiao Yan suddenly raised his head, looked at Huang Xin with blazing eyes: "Your army is going to Hebei from Liangshan, isn't it just to exterminate this group of fans?" ”

"My brother sent a message, and the people deceived me in Huaxia, since the Great Song Dynasty court turned a deaf ear, then we Liang Shanbo came forward to kill him!" Huang Xin raised his head and said awe-inspiringly, finding that Qiao Yan had a painful look on his face, and thought for a while:

"I also read Tian Hu's letter just now, and the younger brother persuaded the Taoist chief not to expect too much. Man will destroy himself, and then heaven will destroy him. Tian Hu betrayed the country in Hedong, disregarded people's lives, and created how much sin he caused? If we don't take his own life, we will be cheaper for a man like this, how can we be willing to fall into trouble with him? Dao Chief, you are the old friend of Leader Sun, we are friends with you, if someone else comes over, hum, I'm afraid I'm going to be sorry! (To be continued......)
