After eating and drinking, the man cleaned up the empty plates and jars, and poured a bowl of water for Chao Gai again, Chao Gai drank the water, and after paying for the meal, he chatted with the young man.

"This little brother, between the barren mountains and mountains, there are no passers-by on weekdays next to the mountain paths, where is there any business for you to open such a hotel here." Chao Gai asked.

This guy is also a talkative person, and he sat next to Chao Gai at the moment, poured himself a bowl of water, sighed, and said: "Alas, this master doesn't know, it's the little father who is busy working outside, the little one is named Zhang Xiaosan, our two didn't live here before, it was originally in the town under the mountain, and it also opened a tavern, although it doesn't make a lot of money, but the business is also booming, and life is quite passable." ”

"But two years ago, there was a new county lord in the town, what is called Zhou Long, as soon as he arrived, he ate and drank a lot, levied and extorted, and in just a week, he increased eight or nine taxes for no reason, and he needed to pay taxes for breathing, eating, and sleeping, and we really couldn't get by, so I moved to this mountain, opened a tavern, and planted some grain and vegetables in the back on weekdays, and lived a mixed life."

After Zhang Xiaosan finished speaking, Chao Gai also sighed heavily, and said: "Alas, the harsh government is fiercer than the tiger, the court has no way, corrupt officials are rampant and domineering, the people are not happy, and the people are living in dire straits. ”

"Then you fled to this mountain, and the county magistrate named Zhou Long will let you go?" Chao Gai asked again.

Zhang Xiaosan took another sip of water and said: "Where is that corrupt official willing to let us go, but this mountain is called Longyan Mountain, there is a village on this mountain called Longyan Village, there is a mountain king on the mountain, named Tang Bin, this person is amazing, there are thousands of people who are not brave, they all call him a mountain leader, and because he makes a good marksmanship, he is superb, so he also calls him Xiao Luo Cheng Tang Bin, this king is a good person, robbing the rich and helping the poor, and upholding justice, it is because of him that this Zhou Long did not dare to come to this Longyan Mountain. ”

"Oh, I see." Chao Gai nodded and said, and then Chao Gai had a chat with Zhang Xiaosan in the north and south of the sea, this Zhang Xiaosan doesn't look like an ordinary person, but he knows a lot of things, and he talks a lot, sometimes Zhang Xiaosan talks alone, Chao Gai listens to the side.

The two of them chatted, and more than an hour passed, Chao Gai rested enough, bought a few flatbreads and wrapped them in his package, and then said goodbye to his buddy Zhang Xiaosan and the shopkeeper, and continued to hurry.

Chao Gai walked and stopped, still along the mountain path, without a word, it was noon, the weather was very hot, Chao Gai found a cooler place to sit down against the big tree, eat a few mouthfuls of bread to satisfy hunger.

Suddenly, Chao Gai raised his eyebrows and said, "Friend, come out, the weather is very hot, thank you there, it's strange and uncomfortable, it's better to eat some wine and meat together." ”

As soon as Chao Gai's words fell, a group of people came out of a bush not far away, the number of them was about thirty people, all of them were extremely well-dressed men, holding knives, guns and sticks in their hands, and they were violent.

The first one is a tall man, with a face like a crown of jade, a cold face, sword eyebrows, a straight nose and a square mouth, wearing a moon-white suit, a bright silver spear in his hand, a hundred steps in front of and behind the person, majestic, dignified.

"Hahaha, the hero is so powerful, I don't want to go down the mountain today but I met a master, Tang Bin in Xialongyan Mountain, I don't know the name of the hero?" The man smiled boldly, handed the spear in his hand to the minion next to him, and said with a heavy fist towards Chao Gai.

Tang Bin signed up for his own number, which surprised Chao Gai, Xiao Luo Cheng Tang Bin of Longyan Mountain, didn't expect to see the real person so soon when he heard his name.

Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, this Tang Bin Chaogai also knows, he is not a good man in Liangshan in the Water Margin, but he is also a good man with iron bones.

Tang Bin is a friend of Liangshan hero "big knife" Guan Sheng in Pudong, because he killed people and fell into the grass, he has been the owner of the village, and later Guan Sheng accompanied the army to conquer Tian Hu, contacted Tang Bin, Tang Bin led his subordinates to submit to the Song army.

Tang Bin's image is slightly different in different versions. In the text and the complicated text, he fell into the grass in Huiyanfeng, and never became a subordinate of Tian Hu, nicknamed "Bashan Lux", and his weapon was a mountain axe, but he also used a knife. After defecting to the Song army, he followed the army all the way to conquer Wang Qing and Fang La, and finally followed Liu Guangshi to break the gold. In the common modern book of one hundred and twenty copies of "The Complete Biography of the Water Margin", Tang Bin made a spear, was the leader of the Calf Mountain, was forced to return to Shuntian Hu, and after being thrown under Song Jiang, he was killed by the thief in the process of conquering Wang Qing of Huaixi.

Throughout the appearance of Tang Bin in the Water Margin to the end, we can see Tang Bin's excellent qualities such as wisdom, bravery, and fearlessness.

Let's talk about Tang Bin's wisdom first, Song Jiang led the generals of Liangshan to be recruited by the Song Dynasty, returned from the Liao State, and went to conquer Tian Hu in Hebei, and after conquering Gaizhou, Song Jiang was stationed near Huguan and learned that the east side of Huguan Mountain was Huqian Mountain. At the same time, Guan Sheng, who has been stationed in Weizhou, wrote a letter, saying that he and Tang Bin were old friends, brave and upright, and also an officer in Pudong.

Later, Tian Hu occupied Huguan, Tang Bin was reluctant to take refuge at first, but later saw that Tian Hu was powerful, so he had to lead the entire Baoqi Mountain to Shun, but he was still stationed in this mountain and made a corner for Huguan.

This time Guan Sheng arrived in Weizhou, Tang Bin sneaked into Weizhou City on New Year's Day, and explained to Guan Sheng that he wanted to return to the Song Dynasty, and Guan Sheng also followed Tang Bin to Baocalf Mountain. Guan Sheng decided to subdue Tang Bin and the other three to Song Jiang, and Tang Bin decided to sacrifice the pot as a capital for his life. In the middle of the night, Tang Bin secretly came to Hukou Pass and shot an arrow at the Song soldiers outside the pass, with a letter tied to the arrow, with a plan to offer the pass, Tang Bin's arrow, Cocoa shot at the right strand of a soldier. But the pain of the flesh of the shot seemed to have no arrows. Sergeant weird. Take the arrow and look closely, it turns out that there are many silk silks tightly wrapped around the arrowhead. The soldiers knew that there was something different, and rushed to the village to report to the Song pioneers. Song Jiang was under the lamp and candle, and when he opened it to see, there were a few lines of thin characters inside, but it was Tang Bin's secret agreement: "The next day at dawn to offer the pass." Wen Zhongrong and Cui Yeren led the troops to sneak behind the pioneer village. Just wait for the cannon to sound, and the pass will be killed. Hershey, Tang Bin was there, taking the opportunity to seize the pass. Song Xianfeng hurriedly prepared to enter the customs. ”

Tang Bin shot the soldiers with arrows, it was already dark at that time, Tang Bin can shoot arrows in the dark night so accurately that it can be seen that his archery skills are high, this move is ingenious and it is extremely difficult to see the loopholes, Tang Bin's move is wise!
