Yiyang City, once the location of the palace of Zhao during the Warring States Period, for a long time was also the capital of Zhao State in addition to Handan, which belonged to the second political center, in the West Han County, with the passage of time, this important city of Zhao before the Qin and Han dynasties gradually became an ordinary county seat, only the terrace bricks and tiles left on the outskirts of the city, as if telling the old past of Yiyang.

At this time, Geng Gong was leading hundreds of men and horses to Yiyang, this group of thieves who seemed to be defeated and fled, but most of them were dressed up by Xiao Tang, Wei Dingguo, Hua Rong, Xue Yong and the elite sergeants of each battalion, intending to defraud the Yiyang city gate, and then Suo Chao, Shan Tingqi and other generals who followed from afar led the military rank to pick up the bell, followed Geng Gong and the others from afar, just waiting for the city gate to open, and then led the elite cavalry to kill.

Prior to this, Geng Gong told Xiao Tang in detail about the situation of Zhang Di's various cottage strongmen, including Dong Cheng and Shen Ji of Fenglongshan in Zhending Mansion on He1 North Road, as well as Fan Yuming, Yu Deyuan, and Gu Kai of Xiangzhou Lin Shushan; Xiangzhou Mushan Lu Hui, Zhu Jing, Shi Ding, Wu Cheng; Weng Kui, Ye Sheng, Dai Mei and so on in Fushan, Cizhou.

and Hedong Road, there are Weisheng Jun, Tongqi Mountain, Li Tianxi, Zheng Zhirui, Xue Shi, and Lin Xin; Taiyuan Mansion killed Xiongling Zhang Xiong, Xiang Zhong, and Xu Yue; Gaizhou Mishan Wang Ji, Shi Jing, Qin Sheng; Longde Mansion, Flying Fox Village, Zhongliang, etc.

And among them, He1 Beiluhui, Hedong Li Tianxi two roads of the green forest strongman is the strongest, now the southern Hebei army shrinks the defense, most of the thief army is gathered in the area of Linwei and Cizhou, this Yiyang City is only Weng Kui, Ye Sheng, Dai Mei led by 3,500 people.

In the official history, Zhang Di, who gathered people to rise up in He1 Beizhou, and Tian Hu, who was born in Qinyuan County, the Weisheng Army of Hedong in the Four Great Kouzhong, both of them are the green forest strongmen who gathered in He1 North and Hedong Road, Xiao Tang does not know what the intersection between Zhang Di and Tian Hu will have according to the original trajectory in this world, only from the current point of view, most of the people in Zhang Di's Southern Hebei Army Alliance are all minions under the pseudo-Jin Guotian Hu in the Water Margin.

However, the most important information from Geng Gong's mouth was that Xiao Tang confirmed his conjecture, and the mighty man who had been a powerful opponent of him, Suo Chao, and Hua Rong that day was indeed Bian Xiang, whose martial arts could rival the five tiger generals of Liangshan.

Judging from the book or that encounter, Xiao Tang has a very good impression of this Bian Xiang. When the puppet Jin army was losing and retreating, Tian Hu, who was stubble, panicked, and discussed with his subordinates to defect to the Jurchens. Later, he resisted Shi Jin, Hua Rong and other Liangshan heroes, and Yu Mianshan could not withstand the two armies and was captured.

And that time in the vicinity of Weicheng Bian Xiang showed his might, a big axe is difficult to resist regardless of strength and skills, and in terms of martial arts, it can definitely be compared with Luda, Wu Song, Wang Huan, Sun An and others that Xiao Tang has seen.

Listening to what Geng Gong said, Bian Xiang and his brother were arrested by the government because of the evil officials and local tyrants who exploited the villagers, and broke Zhuang Town to open a warehouse to help the people, and they were not allowed to throw themselves under Zhang Di...... Based on this alone, Xiao Tang planned to do everything he could to protect this Bian Xiang. As long as Bian Xiang can be persuaded to help the official army to recruit and suppress Zhang Di, the previous lawsuit will be settled by Xiao Tang, and it will not be difficult for Bian Xiang to be pardoned. It's just that... How will this Bian Xiang fall?

When Xiao Tangwu was thinking about it, he and Geng Gong had already come to Yiyang City. When he saw that the banners were dense in the city, and there were thieves waiting for him, one of the leaders shouted, "Stop! Where did you come from!? ”

"Geng Zhuangshi, you must be careful, don't show your feet." Xiao Tang whispered beside Geng Gong.

Geng Gong nodded in panic, and shouted under the city: "I am Geng Gong, the guard of Quzhou County, Quzhou has fallen, I will lead the crowd to break through and kill, and along the way, hundreds of brothers scattered in our Hebei Southern Alliance will run all the way here, let me enter the city!" ”

The leader of the city guard heard this, and he hurriedly reported to Ye Sheng, the leader in charge of defending the city. Ye Sheng went up to the city tower, carefully identified it down, and saw that it was Geng Gong himself, and the thieves in the city also recognized the leader of Geng Gong's side, and seeing that there was no mistake, Ye Sheng smiled and said: "Let him in!" ”

Ye Sheng then shouted to Geng Gong again: "You have a big fate!" Your brothers Dong Cheng and Shen Ji thought you died in Quzhou County, so they weren't sad! Now they are in the city, so that you may meet together, that they may teach them to rejoice. ”

"What!?" Geng Gong's face changed, he didn't expect that Dong Cheng and Shen Ji didn't go directly to see Zhang Di after they were killed and retreated, but instead settled down in Yiyang. Geng Gong cleared the blame for returning to the official government, and he could not hesitate to rebel against Zhang Di and open the gate of Yiyang City, but now he has to betray his former sworn brother in person, which makes Geng Gong a little ashamed to face it.

When Xiao Tang knew that this Geng Gong died at the hands of Liangshan Huarong and Dong Ping in the Water Margin, he didn't see how he resented, but immediately threw himself into the crusade army. Whether it is to deceive the city and lead the way, or to explain the details of Tian Hudi, he has done his best, and now he is not worried about his temporary change of fortune, but he warned beside him: "It is to rest with the thief, or to return your innocence, only in one move." ”

Geng Gong's face was cloudy, and he nodded woodenly. At this time, the city gate had been opened, the drawbridge was lowered, Xiao Tang, Wei Dingguo, Hua Rong, and Xue Yong led everyone to rush in, and immediately left Geng Gong behind. When the thieves at the gate saw this, they opened their mouths and scolded, "What kind of chaos are you doing? A bunch of cowards! Was it killed by the officers and soldiers? ”

Suddenly, a military horse flew out of the forest outside the city, and Suo Chao took the lead and shouted: "Yiyang City is broken!" As soon as the thieves in the city reacted, Xiao Tang and the other soldiers who crashed into the city had already pulled out their weapons and attacked together. The thieves were caught off guard, dozens of people were cut down in an instant, and the city gate was lost!

Ye Sheng had just walked down the stairs from the city tower, but when he saw the "friendly army" entering the city, he hurriedly pulled out his waist knife, and was about to resist, but he didn't guard against Xue Yongben behind him, and took advantage of his unpreparedness to poke him down with a shot!

The rest of the thieves in Yiyang City heard the strange noise and came to kill them one after another. Wei Dingguo led a hundred firefighters who rushed into the city to hold the key entrance, throwing fierce fire oil cans and fire-breathing phosphorus gourds, and the fierce fire suddenly burned a group of thieves to cry dad and mother, hugging their heads and running away!

The thief led Dai Mei to run towards the city gate with more than 200 horses, only to see the flames raging around the city gate, and countless subordinates were covered in fire and howled miserably. In the middle of the army, a member of the army wielded a golden dipping axe, and had led hundreds of cavalry into the city, and was rushing towards him!

Dai Mei gritted her teeth fiercely and fought with Suo Chao. Suo's super axe danced vigorously, and Dai Meiqiang was extremely embarrassed to resist more than ten times. Dai Mei was ruthless, and stabbed with all her might, but was dodged sideways by Suo Chao. When the two horses staggered, Suo Chao took advantage of the situation to swing his axe and slash downward, and the blood spring burst out, and when he landed, he cut Dai Meilian and the horse into four pieces!!

Dong Cheng and Shen Ji in Yiyang City had to report that Geng Gong had led the remnants to Yiyang City. Dong Cheng was overjoyed: "Haha! God opened his eyes, my Geng Gong brother didn't die! When he and Shen Ji were anxious to meet Geng Gong, they heard the sound of killing at the city gate, and many thieves and soldiers scattered and fled.

"What's going on? How could the officers and troops break Yiyang City so quickly? Dong Cheng was shocked and angry, and he was about to rush to the city gate with a knife and a horse.

Shen Ji hurriedly grabbed the reins of Dong Cheng's war horse and said, "Big brother! Look at this posture, I'm afraid that Yiyang City will also fall into the hands of the officials and soldiers! Now there are only two of you and me, how can we resist it? ”

"If you can't stop it, you have to block it!" Dong Cheng's eyes were bloodshot, and he hissed angrily: "Weicheng, Quzhou, Yiyang... I've already fucking escaped enough! Rather than be a lost dog, Lao Tzu would rather die like a man!! What's more, Brother Geng Gong is dangerous, how can we abandon him again!? ”

Shen Ji's face turned miserable and said, "Big brother... Although Geng Gong and we are righteous brothers, you also know a rough idea of his temperament. As soon as Geng Gong arrived, the official army attacked the city, only afraid that he would ......"

Dong Cheng waved his hand violently, interrupting Shen Ji, and he said angrily: "So you have to find out!" If he surrenders to the government, you and I will not go to Huangquan with the treacherous rats, and if he does not surrender, you and my brothers will die together! ”

Before the words fell, Dong Cheng clamped his legs and rushed out on his horse. Shen Ji was stunned for a moment, then made up his mind and followed Dong Cheng towards the city......

"Hugh fights again! I'm waiting for my wish to fall!! Weng Kui, the only remaining leader of the thief army in Yiyang City, shouted loudly, and when his minions heard this, they all dropped their blades and fell to their knees. Weng Kui saw that the city gate had been lost, Ye Sheng and Dai Mei had also been killed, although there were still more than 2,000 people in the city, if they wanted to fight to the death, they could certainly kill many officers and soldiers before the whole army was destroyed, but what was the use? It's better to submit in advance, isn't this a credit?

Xiao Tang saw Weng Kui roll the saddle and dismount and fall to the ground, thinking that this person would also calculate. However, because of this, it will not cause him and Wei Dingguo and Shan Tingjue's battalions of soldiers and horses to have more casualties. But at this moment, Xiao Tang heard someone shouting angrily: "Lao Tzu will not descend!" ”

The officials and soldiers of the imperial court and the thieves and soldiers all brushed and looked over, and saw Dong Cheng and Shen Ji, riding a horse and being alone, not far away. There were thousands of soldiers and thieves in the whole city, but at this time, only the two of them glared at Xiao Tang angrily, but there was no desolate and murderous intention.

Dong Cheng saw Geng Gong beside Xiao Tang, his eyes were split, and he scolded bitterly: "Geng Gong, you dog thief!" It turns out that you are really wolf-hearted and ungrateful! I'm so blind that I think you're a brother!! Lao Tzu hates to dig out your heart and disembowel, look at how black-hearted you are!! ”

Geng Gong's face was pale, his lips trembled slightly, and it took a lot of effort before he opened his mouth and said, "Brother Dong... I never wanted to hurt you... But the official army is powerful... I just want to live......"

"Whew! You greedy for life and afraid of death! Dong Cheng spat on a mouthful of thick phlegm, and then pointed at the thieves who knelt on the ground and surrendered in the city, and scolded madly: "You are all eggless cowards!" Cool officials and corrupt officials are in charge, Lao Tzu only hates to kill less! But how can you do all the way with you birdmen, but it's just a death, what kind of bird are you afraid of!? ”

"Dong Cheng, how long are you going to be rampant?" Xiao Tang rode out on his horse and shouted in a deep voice: "You only care about rebellion and rebellion, but have you ever cared about your brother's thoughts?" You killed people and set fires, trying to be happy for a while, and you killed a few more corrupt officials and corrupt officials in this world, but was it really too peaceful? ”

Dong Cheng scolded angrily: "You dog slave who is a dog with a dog official!" Don't chew your tongue and pretend to be a good person! Lao Tzu stands up to the sky and is a well-known man! It's not like a despicable villain like you, colluding with a traitorous dog thief like Geng Gong, and ruining the lives of heroes in the rivers and lakes! Lao Tzu is dead, and he dares to hold his chest in front of the king of Yama and deal with him! Because Lao Tzu has never broken the word righteousness in his life! ”

"What kind of righteousness are you!?" Xiao Tang shouted: "The righteous are righteous and righteous, and the angry are upright!" Kuang Fu is righteous, righteous and vigorous, for the country and the people, and chivalrous righteousness! In the name of righteousness, you don't argue right and wrong, bring disaster to the country and the people, and you are self-righteous and shameless! Although there are corrupt officials and corrupt officials, knocking on the bones and sucking the marrow and squeezing the people, you keep talking about the righteousness of the rivers and lakes, but the harm to the innocent villagers is a hundred times better than that of dog officials! ”

Dong Cheng snorted and said angrily: "The surname is Xiao, Lao Tzu is a good man who fights in the rivers and lakes, and he is too lazy to fight with you for the benefit of his tongue!" You and I haven't seen wins or losses in Weicheng, if you still have the courage to fight with me again? Or are you still a bastard, only asking your minions to shoot!? ”

Wei Dingguo, who was beside Xiao Tang, sneered after hearing this; "What a rammer! How dare you be so rampant! Now that he is besieged by the army layer by layer, and he has to fight alone, how can there be such a cheap thing? ”

And Suo Chao was impatient, and said to Xiao Tang: "Xiao Prison Prison, it's better for me to take down this guy's head!" ”

"Since this Dong Cheng is named and wants to fight with me, how can he ask you to do it for you?" Xiao Tang said, raised his gun, and shouted at Dong Cheng: "Since you think you are a man, I will make an end with you according to the rules of the rivers and lakes!" ”

"You are a seed, relying on the name of your Laoshizi Daimyo Mansion Renxia, I Dong Cheng can die in your hands, and I will not fall famous!" Dong Cheng's face was resolute, and then he looked back at Shen Ji behind him, and said: "The surname Xiao, if I am lucky enough to win half a move, you must spare my brother's life!" You can just take my head! ”

After saying that, Dong Cheng turned his horse and rushed, and the two horses intersected, and the golden tiger head dragon tooth spear in Xiao Tang's hand and the wind splashing knife in Dong Cheng's hand intersected, making a deafening loud sound. Dong Cheng's sword method was strong and heavy, and he was inseparable from Xiao Tang for a while.

Under the gaze of thousands of people, Xiao Tang and Dong Cheng have been fighting for more than 50 years. Hua Rongjian's eyebrows frowned slightly, he drew a thin bow with a mud gold magpie in his hand, and watched the battle situation directly, once Xiao Tang was in a little danger, he would immediately shoot an arrow and take Dong Cheng's life. And over there, Shen Ji's face was pale, and he clutched the spear in his hand tightly, Rao wanted to help, but the situation in front of him attracted a group of officials and generals to take action, and it affected Dong Cheng again.

However, it was said that Dong Cheng had the heart of death, and he slashed Xiao Tang like a mad tiger with a lifeless fighting style, which made Xiao Tang quite difficult for a while. But when Xiao Tang gradually adapted to Dong Cheng's onslaught, his gun skills gradually came into play, and the shadow of the waterfall and pear blossom spear pressed towards Dong Cheng layer by layer, causing Dong Cheng to have three more wounds on his body.

The two fought for another twenty or thirty times, Dong Cheng, a reckless and irascible warrior, relied on preemptive strikes, and at this time he had gradually lost the upper hand, he was even more angry and impetuous, and the wind and knife style in his hand had gradually become messy. Xiao Tang stepped into the camp, and when he was dancing a spear to counterattack, he suddenly recalled the moves performed by the veteran general with superb spear skills when he was competing with Wang Huan that day. Xiao Tang's hands shook, the spear flowers were layered on top of each other, and then the hem pressed Dong Cheng's wind knife with a "raw stick momentum" in the stick technique, and then stabbed out with a spear!

A fountain of blood soared, and Dong Cheng's throat was cut by the golden tiger head dragon tooth spear. Dong Cheng's eyes protruded, and he hissed and said intermittently: "The head has a scar the size of a bowl... Eighteen years later... Lao Tzu is still a good man......"

"Big brother!" When Shen Ji saw that Dong Cheng was killed by Xiao Tang, he howled miserably. Without waiting for Xiao Tang to speak, he stared at Geng Gong coldly and said, "Brother Geng Gong, this is the last time I call you Brother Sheng!" Since you and I are a friendship of worship, I will give you my head, and I wish you prosperity and prosperity in the future! ”

Shen Ji said, turned the head of the gun, and stabbed it into his throat! He fell off his horse and died with his eyes wide open! Geng Gong stretched out his hand to shout, but he stopped. His eyes were glazed and his face was gray, and he sat on his horse like a living dead.

Xiao Tang couldn't help but sigh when he saw Dong Cheng and Shen Ji who were dead. The people in the green forest rivers and lakes, of course, have their concept of right and wrong, this Dong Cheng is indeed a man who is not afraid of death and would rather bend than bend, until he dies, he feels that he is defeated and died freely, worthy of heaven and earth. Under the conflict of ideas, Xiao Tang fought with such a green forest strongman, and he could only fight to the death.

But how many people like this will have to face in the future?
