When Yao Pingzhong visited Xiao Tang and bowed down, since he had made a choice, Yao Pingzhong also knew very well that he could only trace Xiao Tang to the end, and he would not have to end up like his father-in-law Yao Gu due to the constraints and constraints of the imperial court, let alone escape from the world, but still be able to achieve fame with his ability to fight and fight.

However, after being open and honest to Xiao Tang, Yao Pingzhong hesitated for a moment, and still couldn't help asking: "The little kind of minister.... Are you okay? ”

Xiao Tang knew that Yao Pingzhong went from a high-spirited young Zhuang general in the Western Army to a life story with such a huge contrast of escaping from the world, and he could probably understand his thoughts at this time. Because of the rigidity is very easy to break, he was discouraged and depressed and had the idea of seclusion, but for many years of the eventful years, where there is still room for choice, who is willing to give up the prestige and reputation that he has learned all his life and has fought for through the slaughter?

After the Yanyun War and the Jin Army's entry into the army, Yao Pingzhong did have several disagreements with the old and junior masters on military decision-making, and began to express a more obvious opposition attitude. However, the many gate valve factions of the Western Border Court Jiangmen originally represented the Western Army, and at the same time, they also had their own interests in each other. Whether it is Yao Pingzhong or his stepfather Yao Gu, although he has a faintly antagonistic attitude with the seed clan after the old breed once became a master, but at the moment when the Jin army is a foreign king, the Sanyuan Yao family does not deliberately want to design to kill the seed master who almost died in the killing of Xiongling.

Hearing Yao Pingzhong's words also seem to be filled with guilt, Xiao Tang also secretly said to him: "After all, the little seed is old, and he is seriously injured and unconscious, but fortunately he saved his life... It's just that the army was defeated in Xiongling because of the ineffective war in Taiyuan, and the imperial court investigated and surrendered the crime, and removed the ministry of the small kind of minister, if he stayed in our army for a long time... I am afraid that I will be even more suspicious of the imperial court, because I have also sent a group of soldiers and horses to escort the small kind of minister to the south to the place guarded by the officials and soldiers of the Song court to recuperate and wither. ”

Yao Pingzhong was silent for a moment when he saw this, then smiled suddenly, and sighed: "I thought that the old breed would lead to seclusion, and the time has finally come for my Yao family to gain power in the Western Army... Now not only my Yao family will be in the middle of the road, although they still have their own words when talking about military affairs, and the last general knows that the old and small species are slightly more concerned about planning to resist the gold thief, and they are loyal to the country, but they have to suffer grievances and sink ......

Why should the imperial court still be on guard against Xiao Renxia's troops and horses? At the beginning, there was Tong Guan's eunuch and traitor who excluded dissidents and coveted the power of the Western Army, and now in the sinister season, the imperial court has repeatedly interfered in the front military affairs, hum! The corrupt Confucian civil officials are upside down to get in the way, and the noisy urges the generals of the Zhulu Army to not see the opportunity to deal with the enemy army, and the soldiers on the battlefield must not risk their lives and fight hard, but they are ruthless in picking faults and punishing crimes. He was jealous, but didn't he also want to take the opportunity to suppress the Western Army units that had been forming their own factions in the border court for generations? ”

Yao Pingzhong had a heart-to-heart with Xiao Tang, and he was so angry with the imperial court, it seemed that his loyalty to the Song court had already been greatly reduced. This is also true, originally he, the rising star of the Western Army, was already famous in the Bianting when Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Wu Jue and other famous generals were either only a big soldier, and they didn't even have any military qualifications at all, and the other generals who emerged in the anti-gold season may not have been blessed when they received an official rank, he had already been praised as a little lieutenant of the Western Army and called Tong Guan face to face, but according to his original thoughts, he planned to pick a son and not do it, and escaped seven hundred and fifty miles in one go, but he didn't want to be found by the Song Dynasty. It shows that Yao Pingzhong was not only depressed and discouraged at that time, but also had a deep resentment towards the imperial court.

Compared with the arrogant posture when he first saw him, Yao Pingzhong's surrender to Xiao Tang was already much more calm and introverted. And Fu Xuan, Meng De, Liu Ze, and Jiao Wentong gathered with Xiao Tang before the four heads took the lead, and they were already very familiar with each other, but most of them exchanged news with flying pigeons, and there were not many opportunities to meet.

Although the war with the Jin Army has already begun, Xiao Tang saw that Fu Xuan and the others were originally mainly anti-Jin Bazi Army, and the leaders did not have the words "serve the country with a naked heart and swear to kill the gold thief", or "swear to do your best to live up to King Zhao".

Wang Yan, the Song general who formed the eight-character army, was originally supposed to be sent by him to Taihang Mountain to send generals to contact the heroes of the two rivers to fight against Jin, but in history, as a Song court forbidden officer, he actually had a very deep prejudice against the Green Forest Righteous Army in his heart, and he often changed the place to go to bed at night, and secretly beware of the righteous army in the Taihang Mountain. At the beginning, the fame of the hundreds of thousands of eight-character army was also due to the fact that the leader of the Green Forest Righteous Army of Zhulu took a clue and focused on jointly resisting the major events of the Jin Army, so in order to dispel Wang Yan's suspicions, he scribbled words on his face to show his loyalty. The eight-character army started from the righteous army, and then transferred to the official army, although it fought against a military brigade with outstanding achievements, but now it is the first gathering of the heroes of the green forest, and they are all their own brothers who can treat each other honestly and put their hearts to each other, Xiao Tang of course does not need Fu Xuan and others to tattoo words on their faces to express their loyalty.

As for Liang Xing, the leader of the Zhongyi Protection Society, who has now also attracted four or five thousand soldiers and horses, although he is not as powerful as Fu Xuan, Meng De and others who have gathered in the Taihang Mountain Serial Village, but he was in Shuibo Liangshan Gathering and the brothers were ordered by Xiao Tang to go to the southeast region of Hexi to recruit the Lianghe Township Brave Righteous Army, which has developed to such a momentum in a limited period of time, and the Taihang Mountain Serial Village Righteous Division is united and the core force of the civil anti-gold armed forces, which is enough to prove that this Liang Xiaoge has an extremely outstanding organizational ability to mobilize and gather the people.

On the other hand, about half of the soldiers and horses that have now been able to merge with Xiao Tang's army are indeed the Jingnan army that Xiao Tang selected and trained to form when he was in Fuhedong.

Now there is no need for Li Xiaozhong, who has changed his name to avoid trouble due to the arrest of the imperial court, to meet Xiao Tang again, but to cut the number of rivers and lakes and green forests. Xiao Tang hurriedly stepped forward to help him get up, and he couldn't help but be happy to see two of the leaders who were respectfully saluting behind him. When the two brothers Dang Shiying and Dang Shixiong looked at each other with Xiao Tang, they had mixed feelings in their hearts, and they couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly.

The two brothers were transferred to the palace marshal's mansion under the control of Gao Yu as front-line generals, and then wandered to Hedong to recruit the new army formed by Xiao Tang, and became a commander after accumulating some military exploits in the border court. After thinking about it, I will treat Xiao Tang as a benefactor... As a result, he unbelievably erected an anti-flag and betrayed the court, the two Dang brothers only wanted to mix their backgrounds in the army, and they would not give up their current desperate efforts to get the rank of military officer to join the green forest, but thinking about Xiao Tang's affection, and thinking about being an opponent when they meet in the future, I am afraid that there will be no chance to follow him to serve again...... Xiao Tang led the Zhulu Righteous Army to turn the tide and defeat the Jin Army one after another, and also sent reinforcements to relieve the siege of Shaanzhou, and now the real power in his hands is only higher than when he was controlled by the imperial court, and the two brothers instead came to Xiao Tang with Li Xiaozhong, Dang Shiying and Dang Shixiong don't know whether to say that this is to make people and make people, or that fate is right.

That's it, since we are destined to work for you, our brothers accept their fate, and we don't plan to toss anymore......

Li Xiaozhong's mind is also like a party brother, and he can't help but feel all kinds of emotion, whether it is Shuibo Liangshan and Qingzhou Mountains, he has nothing to do with him, and Xiao Tang was promoted when he was walking on the official face, and he was shocked and puzzled by his old favor officials would rebel against the imperial court, and naturally he would not run away from the Jingnan army like Wang Jin and Niu Gao to become a green forest and grass coward. However, now that he met Xiao Tang again, Li Xiaozhong got up and said categorically: "Xiao Renxia, according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, I should also give back my brother, but before I was obsessed with my younger brother, but now I have figured it out, Fang Zhi can only kill the Tartars happily and do a big thing to destroy the gold thief!" ”
