Chapter 532, Cutting Robes and Breaking Righteousness

Qiao Chongliang is really a head and two big, doesn't this big village master have no brains? King Wei Kaien, pardon us, you are a newly descended bandit, you don't have a tail between your legs, but want to challenge the authority of King Wei? Qiao Chongliang watched Tang Jiusheng's generals become furious, Tang Jiusheng's face also changed color, and Qiao Chongliang looked at Tang Jiusheng in horror.

Unexpectedly, King Wei was originally very angry, but his face suddenly became calm, and he didn't seem to mind the bandit leader who disobeyed him in public, Tang Jiusheng jumped off the horse, walked over to the tall Zhang Yuanyuan with a smile on his face, and stretched out his hand to him. Zhang Yuanyuan was overjoyed in his heart, and he was ready to pursue a maverick

The next moment, Zhang Yuanyuan was knocked out by Tang Jiusheng's mouth, fell five or six zhang away, and fell in the middle of the official road, with a red handprint swollen on his face, and two teeth were also knocked off. Zhang Yuanyuan spit out a mouthful of blood, and just got up from the ground, he was kicked out by Tang Jiusheng, who was followed by an arrow, and fell five or six feet away again. Before Zhang Yuanyuan could get up from the ground, he was picked up from the ground like a chicken by Tang Jiusheng, who followed him like a shadow.

It is difficult for ordinary people to imagine that a handsome guy of medium height and handsome appearance can carry a tall bandit leader like this. The minions were stunned, it turned out that their always arrogant Dazhai master was beaten like a dog under the hands of King Wei, and he had no power to fight back at all. Tang Jiusheng took Zhang Yuanyuan in his hand and asked coldly: "I heard that you are not convinced? I heard that you are going to fight with this king, and you want this king to defeat you, so you can obey? If this king really wants to beat you, do you think you have a chance to fight back?"

The two of them were close at hand, Zhang Yuanyuan clearly saw that Tang Jiusheng only had cold killing intent in his eyes, and Zhang Yuanyuan finally panicked completely. It turned out that after Zhang Yuanyuan saw Tang Jiusheng, he saw that he was handsome but young, so he didn't take Tang Jiusheng in his eyes. As for the fact that he was kicked down by Tang Jiusheng on the horse before, he felt that it was only because he was negligent in his precautions that he was given a shadow by Tang Jiusheng.

Although he was captured, he thought that this must be Tang Jiusheng's subordinate strategists to Tang Jiusheng's idea, and the capture of Zhongji was not completely defeated on the battlefield, so he was very unconvinced, he felt that he still had soldiers at hand, and he could fight again. Of course, he never expected that Qiao Chongliang would be so cowardly, and drove down the mountain with all the soldiers and horses of the cottage to surrender to Tang Jiusheng.

Originally, Zhang Yuanyuan felt that Niu Mandi had already crowned him as the general of Huaihua before, and Tang Jiusheng had to give him a position not lower than this to be reasonable. However, Qiao Chongliang unexpectedly led the crowd to surrender, but he broke his thoughts, the only chips he had left that could play with Tang Jiusheng were destroyed by Qiao Chongliang, he really wanted to kill Qiao Chongliang. Without this bargaining chip, what else could he use to negotiate with Tang Jiusheng?

Zhang Yuanyuan gritted his teeth, the soldiers and horses were gone, and he seemed to have no other bargaining chips except for being a maverick. Of course, he also knows his own shortcomings, he is a person who killed officials and fled to the mountain, a reckless person, a rough man who can't read a few words, without soldiers and horses, Tang Jiusheng will not give him any big officials. Then he can only rely on his maverick behavior to make King Wei remember him. The biggest bet is gone, and he now wants to gamble on his luck.

He felt that Tang Jiusheng was so young, how high his martial arts could be? Most of the rumors about him on the rivers and lakes were all false. Just such a hairy child, even if I can't beat you, it's enough to last for a while, but he didn't expect that he would be beaten by Tang Jiusheng, and he had no power to fight back when he was beaten. At that moment, he realized that he had miscalculated, King Wei really remembered him, and he wanted to kill him.

He has been mixing the rivers and lakes for so long, but he forgot a sentence, people can't look good. It seems that humans and animals are harmless, but it is not necessarily harmless to humans and animals. The black shop owners and guys who sell human meat buns often don't look like murders, but they do kill people.

Zhang Yuanyuan noticed that the situation was not good, and immediately raised his hands to beg for mercy and said: "The prince spares his life! The grass people know that they are wrong! The prince is strong in martial arts, but the grass people do not know the height of the sky and the height of the earth, and they have offended the prince Huwei, the prince spares his life, and the little one will never dare again!"

Tang Jiusheng threw Zhang Yuanyuan on the ground and sneered: "If Qiao Chongliang hadn't gone down the mountain to surrender and plead for you today, you would have died! Shouldn't you go and thank Qiao Chongliang?" Zhang Yuanyuan heard Tang Jiusheng say this, he didn't dare to disobey, he only gritted his teeth and went to thank Qiao Chongliang, he had just been kicked out by Tang Jiusheng, his legs were crippled, and he had to stagger in front of Qiao Chongliang.

Zhang Yuanyuan looked at Qiao Chongliang, with fire in his eyes, gritted his teeth and said: "Second master, thank you for leading the brothers down the mountain to surrender to King Wei, thank you for interceding for me and the brothers, and giving us a way to live." Today's great kindness of the second master, I, Zhang Yuanyuan, am really toothless and unforgettable! I will definitely repay you if I have the opportunity in the future!"

Qiao Chongliang only smiled bitterly, he had worked with Zhang Yuanyuan for five or six years, and he knew best what kind of character Zhang Yuanyuan was. This person who is eager to repay himself has already made a grudge against himself. Qiao Chongliang didn't say anything, and bowed to Zhang Yuanyuan's departing back, Qiao Chongliang sighed secretly in his heart, as long as you can save the nearly 10,000 brothers on this mountain, you Dazhai Lord hates me if you hate me, your future alone is far less important than the lives of these tens of thousands of people.

Tang Jiusheng led the soldiers and horses of Anshu County to the side of the Lushui River, encamped beside the Lushui River, and counted the number of nearly 10,000 people and horses in Jiejia Mountain. Let Fan Chenglin take his soldiers who are literate and hyphenated to register these minions, and those who want to join the army will be given military registration, and those who want to return to their hometowns to work as farmers will be issued pardon documents and travel expenses.

Then Tang Jiu Life Ning Chenggang and Qiao Chongliang took hundreds of people up the mountain, pulled all the money, food and materials from the Jiejia Mountain Village down the mountain, demolished the village, and took more than 100 people guarding the village and some minions of the family members down the mountain together. It took two days of hard work to get all these things done. Nearly 10,000 minions, there were more than 3,000 cattle and generals under the ground, and these people were unwilling to return to their hometowns to farm, so they were all given military registration. Some people who had no choice but to go to the cottage and wanted to go home were given pardon documents and travel expenses and repatriated to their hometowns.

Tang Jiusheng called the two village owners of Jiejiashan to ask them about their plans, and when he heard that Tang Jiusheng only gave himself a small six-grade lieutenant, Zhang Yuanyuan was angry, and immediately asked for a pardon for paperwork and travel expenses, saying that he was going back to his hometown to fish. Tang Jiusheng did not stop him, everyone has their own ambitions, people don't look down on the captain of the sixth grade, and he is willing to be a fisherman who is far from obeying the Heavenly Empire, that is the freedom of others, let him go.

Qiao Chongliang chased out of the camp and persuaded Zhang Yuanyuan bitterly: "Big brother, we were just bandits, and now that we have been pardoned for our sins, we can still be a six-grade captain, which is already the grace of King Wei and the imperial court! The world is not peaceful now, let's take this opportunity to fight with King Wei in the field, maybe we can go further in the future, and it is not impossible to stay up and worship the generals!"

Zhang Yuanyuan looked at Qiao Chongliang, smiled slightly, and suddenly spit on him, poked Qiao Chongliang's chest with his hand, and scolded: "Qiao Chongliang, you anti-bone boy! If Lao Tzu had known that you were such a traitor and seek glory, how could he let you be the second leader of the cottage? You are good now, surrender with this team, Tang Jiusheng will give you a good position, you are naturally happy in your heart, do you take Lao Tzu in your eyes?"

Qiao Chongliang's side of a little minions who had just surrendered persuaded: "The master of the big village, no, Brother Zhang, there is nothing wrong with the second brother Qiao! If the second brother Qiao didn't take people down the mountain to return to the king of Wei, maybe the king of Wei would have beheaded you before! Besides, when you were the master of the big village, how many brothers in the village were not convinced, it was because the second brother Qiao supported it, and you sat firmly in the position of the master of the big village!" Besides, Second Brother Qiao is not wrong, we were originally some bandits, and now that King Wei and the court have pardoned us, let's be innocent, we can follow King Wei to fight on the battlefield and fight for a good future, isn't it a good thing?"

Zhang Yuanyuan glared, and scolded angrily: "Get out of your mother's ball! Lao Tzu is talking to Qiao Chongliang, what qualifications do you have as a pawn to interject? Zhang Yuanyuan stretched out his hand and took out the dagger from his arms, cut off a piece of his robe with a hideous face, and said loudly: "The surname Qiao, you betray your friends to seek glory, today Lao Tzu cut your robe with you and broke off righteousness!"

As he spoke, Zhang Yuanyuan threw the corner of the robe in his hand in the wind and let it drift far away with the wind. Qiao Chong's conscience was cold, the big boss and the second master of the cottage back then have been completely broken since then. Zhang Yuanyuan turned around, turned over on the horse, and patted the horse away, leaving Qiao Chongliang alone in the wind. Qiao Chongliang looked up at the sky, with tears in his eyes, and sighed, it is too difficult to do something good, and he thinks you are cheating on him for his sake.

Someone behind patted Qiao Chongliang on the shoulder, Qiao Chongliang turned around, it turned out to be Fan Chenglin. Fan Chenglin said with a calm face: "Second Brother Qiao, I know that you are kind, but not all kind-hearted others appreciate it." He felt that he deserved a greater benefit, but he didn't expect that if it weren't for you, he would have fallen to the ground. Since ancient times, there have been many cases of brothers turning against each other and fathers and sons becoming enemies in the face of interests. You don't have to go to your heart, everyone has their own ambitions, and the path is chosen by the person himself, so let him go!"

Qiao Chongliang looked sad and didn't say anything, just patted Fan Chenglin's hand. Fan Chenglin said with a smile: "Second Brother Qiao, no matter what, your name is Chongliang, and you are indeed 'good' today, this is a happy event, we have to have a few drinks!" Qiao Chongliang was miserable, and was amused by Fan Chenglin's words, so he went to drink with Fan Chenglin.

Fan Chenglin led people to count that the cottage originally had more than 9,300 minions, plus some minions, a total of more than 13,000 people, and now more than 6,000 people have been left in the army, plus the original more than 3,000 people under Tang Jiusheng, there are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses. After Tang Jiusheng reorganized this team with Jin Chengzhang, Hou Jingxian, Huo Yunsheng and others, he continued to lead his troops in the direction of Anshu.

Along the way, Qiao Chongliang told Tang Jiusheng many good things about Zheng Daqiang, and repeatedly said that he would not go down the mountain and surrender without Zheng Daqiang's advice. Tang Jiusheng understood that this was Qiao Chongliang who wanted to save Zheng Daqiang, so he also got off the donkey and released Zheng Daqiang from the prisoner car, and Zheng Daqiang was happy. Jian let a stone in her heart fall to the ground, and came to thank Qiao Chongliang again, and thanked Wei Wang and Fan Chenglin.

Hungry and thirsty along the way, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, and three days later, this army of more than 10,000 people finally came to a big crossroads. To the north, it is the official road leading to Anshu County, to the east, it is the direction of Yujiang and Lianshan, to the south is to Luye, and to turn back, it is the direction of Jianzhou. Shui Ruyue and Ximen Yushuang knew that Tang Jiusheng had already had other plans.

In the tent, Tang Jiusheng changed into a golden helmet and armor, put on a new mask, and pretended to be a middle-aged general. But he put on a face of his own for Shen Xiaoyu, asked her to pretend to be herself, and Shui Ruyue, Ximen Yushuang and others waved the royal flag, escorting those gold and silver treasures back to Anshu in the north. Except for a few of his own people such as Yulong Xingkong, Jin Chengzhang, and Ling Huyu, no one knew that King Wei was not in the camp.

Tang Jiusheng sent two guards of the Xiaowei to inform Chonglai and Sun Jiangdong that they did not need to go to Anshu, and led the army south to attack Luxi County, which was under the jurisdiction of Luye City.

At the crossroads, Tang Jiusheng was carrying a big sword, a golden helmet and a big white horse, surrounded by more than 500 elite soldiers of Ning Chenggang and Cheng Zifei, the three of them looked back at the more than 10,000 people and horses going north, and looked at the red king flag in the distance slowly disappeared from sight, Tang Jiusheng turned his head, looked at the official road in the direction of Luye, looked at the blue mountains and the sky farther away, smiled slightly, and said loudly: "Let's go, let's go to Luye City, go and settle the grievances with the cows!"

More than 500 elite soldiers agreed together, Tang Jiusheng rode forward, Ning Chenggang and Cheng Zifei followed, and more than 500 horse infantry soldiers followed closely, leaving a piece of distant dust on the official road behind him, which could not be calmed down for a long time.
