Xiao Tang, Hua Rong, Shi Xiu and others killed Lei Zhen, Duan Ren, Feng Yi, and after counting the results, they killed more than 200 thieves in this battle, captured 70 or 80 people, and lost 31 villagers. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info and the others of Xiao Tang hurriedly rushed to the Pan Mansion in Kong Song Village, and the hearts of Mrs. Pan, Mrs. Pan and the people of the Pan Mansion were all put back in their stomachs.

Originally, Pan Taigong also wanted to order the dealer to pack up the fine soft silver taels and escape from the village to avoid trouble. But Zhang Di's subordinate units of the Southern Hebei Army looted everywhere in Enzhou, and they were not allowed to be caught up by this gang of thieves and bumped into another gang of thieves, as long as they sent Wu Zhi to rush to the Daimyo Mansion and mobilize Xiaojiaji Township to come to the rescue.

When Miss Pan saw Wu Zhi and Xiao Tang returning home together, she also hurried up to ask for warmth, and her concern was overflowing. Mrs. Pan also thanked Xiao Tang and said: "If it weren't for the timely arrival of the virtuous nephew, my mansion would have been broken by thieves, and the outcome would be unimaginable!" ”

"Taigong Pan, now is not the time to be careless." Xiao Tang looked serious and said in a deep voice: "Since Zhang Di's subordinates have been plundering Zhuzhuang Town under the rule of Qing Yihe County, I am afraid that there are also thieves rampant near Kong Songzhuang. If the thieves who escaped here know that there are villagers in Kongsongzhuang to help, I am afraid that the thieves will not give up! ”

Pan Taigong was even more shocked when he heard it, although he was a respected elder, but there was nothing he could do about the thieves who just wanted to kill people and sell goods, he said: "This... How can this be...? ”

Xiao Tang appeased Pan Taigong and said: "Taigong is panicking, I have my own plans for this matter." At the same time that he summoned Xiao Jiaji Township Yong to come to help, he also made two preparations: Xiao Tang first sent Xu Guanzhong to the Left-behind Division of the Daimyo Mansion to find Liang Shijie, and then sent the drum to move to report Suo Chao in the Forbidden Army.

The urgent pioneer Suo Chao was suppressed in the forbidden army of the Daimyo's Mansion, and it was all thanks to Xiao Tang's help that he became the deputy commander of the horse army, Xiao Tang believed that with Suo Chao's temperament, he would definitely lead the more than 300 elite horsemen to help without saying a word. And when Liang Shijie participated in his wedding, he also knew the relationship between Xiao Tang and the Pan Mansion of Kongsongzhuang in Qing 1 River County, but even if he would order the mobilization of the forbidden army of the Daimyo Mansion to come, it would have to be twisted and turned.

Under the arrangement of Xiao Tang, Yan Qing and Yang Lin, the Zhuang households in Kong Song Village collected the corpses of the people who died under the knives of Lei Zhen and other thieves, and saw half of Kong Song Village smoke and dust, horizontal and vertical, countless men and women were killed, and there were women and children crying alone. Not only were hundreds of households tragically damaged, but dozens of houses were burned to the ground.

Originally, there were Kong, Song, and Pan in Kong Songzhuang, and at this time, more than 70 people were killed by thieves outside the Song Dynasty, and two daughters under the knees of Song Yuanwai, and more than a dozen female dependents were not clothed, and only four or five people were defiled, crying and crying, and the rest of the poor women could not withstand the repeated ravages of the thieves, and the fragrance disappeared.

Xiao Tang looked at the fingers in his hair, his eyes were cracked, the methods of the thieves were vicious and vicious, and after thinking about it, Zhang Di gathered the so-called southern Hebei army is not a like-minded, benevolent and righteous hero, those people are all outlaws gathered for profit, when they can do whatever they want, the dark side and beastly nature in their hearts will be completely vented, no matter the people outside the staff are just fish on the chopping block, let them take what they want.

In fact, these bandit acts driven by profit are also intentionally done by the Southern Hebei Military Alliance. In all the uprisings and riots of the past dynasties, there are certainly forces that buy the hearts of the people under the banners of "free grain in the field", "overthrow tyranny", and "do the right thing for heaven", and fight to the end against the imperial court and government, but there are many times, in fact, most of the so-called rebel armies will take diametrically opposite paths in order to expand their power in the short term......

For example, in a season like the Great Song Dynasty, although corrupt officials and unscrupulous officials in various state governments and oppressed the people abounded, and there were also six thieves in the court who were corrupt and overbearing, but the kind and forbearant people would not be willing to gamble their lives to make the emperor rebel as long as they themselves, especially with their families. It is because of the current people's resistance to the court officials, which is not enough to overthrow the entire Great Song Dynasty.

So Zhang Di can only take another way: Since the government has not forced you to a dead end, then I will force you to rebel first!

There are many miserable people who have suffered greatly from land annexation and exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and who have been captured and plundered by strongmen and bandits to save the foundation of their survival, and who have no choice but to join the thieves.

Of course, this method is to drink water to quench thirst and exhaust the fish, but because of the rapid effect in the short term, Zhang Di can only expand his power in this way, like a character like him is limited by personal strength, as well as the limitations of the uprisings of various dynasties, and all the uprisings and riots in Chinese history, how many of them can really do the right thing for heaven and love the people like sons?

Xiao Tang was thinking in his heart, when suddenly Yang Lin came to report: "Young Master, Deputy Commander Suo has led three hundred cavalry of the forbidden army to Kong Songzhuang!" ”

Before the words fell, Suo Chao, Zhou Jin, and Wang Ding arrived on horseback. Suo Chao turned over and dismounted, rushed to Xiao Tang's eyes, and said in a hurry: "Commander Xiao, I'm here!" Where is the thief now!? ”

Xiao Tang saw that Suo Chao came happily, just to help him resist the thieves of the southern Hebei army, he was grateful, and said: "The first group of thieves has been eliminated by us and others, but there are still bandits raging around, I am afraid that they will still come to attack this Kong Songzhuang." ”

"I'm afraid they won't come!" Suo Chao was originally a person who fought for the country and could not be left behind, he shouted: "Those dog thieves are so big! These days are just teaching soldiers and horses, and I am already a bird. If the thieves dare to come, teach them to die one by one! ”

As if catering to this urgent vanguard, Shi Xiu hurriedly came to report: "Big brother! Another thief has rushed to Kong Songzhuang! ”

"How many thieves are coming?" Xiao Tang asked.

"According to the sentry cavalry report, there should be two or three thousand people!"

Xiao Tang's heartstrings tightened, the number of thieves killed this time was almost ten times more than that of Lei Zhen and others, although now the more than 300 cavalry under his command and Suo Chao joined forces, but if they really want to fight, the casualties will be heavy!

"Come with me and meet those thieves!" Xiao Tang ordered Xiao Yi, Xue Yong and others to lead the infantry to arrange the defense of the village, and then turned over and got on the horse, there were two hussars, one left and one right, as well as Shi Xiu, Yang Lin, Zhou Jin and others, and three hundred forbidden cavalry rushed straight to Zhuangkou......

When Xiao Tang led the army to Zhuangkou, he saw that among the two or three thousand thieves, among the three thieves leader, one was riding a silver curly horse, with a wind knife in his hand, the other two were holding a white-dotted steel spear, and the other was carrying a long sword.

The thief with the wind knife was nine feet long, and wore an iron helmet with golden hair and a red tassel on the top. Wearing a pair of iron armor with a chain of trivia, wearing a collar embroidered cloud and xia tuanhua robe, wearing a pair of oblique leather inlaid cloud heel boots, and tying a red diagnostic nail to fold the victory belt, it looks majestic, plus the thief's head has a horizontal face and beard, which adds a bit of fierceness and fierceness.

"Dog officer! Dare to bring someone to sprinkle and beg for death! The thief first saw that the soldiers and horses on the opposite side were dressed as generals, raised the big knife in his hand, and scolded: "Even the men and women of the Enzhou Forbidden Army have all been wiped out by us, and you minions who are dogs in the government mansion dare to offend me and wait for me to be a tiger!?" ”

Here Suo Chao heard that it was adding fuel to the fire, and he was furious in his heart, he was in a hurry to charge up on his horse, but when he fought with the thief leader, he was stopped by Xiao Tang. Xiao Tang stared at the thief and shouted: "Shameless thieves, indiscriminately killing good people, how dare you be so arrogant!" You abusive puppet has a name, don't be a nameless ghost! ”

The thief was also grumpy, and he scolded, "Bah! Bottles and cans, there are also two ears, you must also smell my name of Dong Cheng, Thunder Tiger! I, along with Shen Ji, the nine-life leopard, and Geng Gong, the night owl, are here to take the lives of your minions! ”

Xiao Tang sneered: "My Xiao Tang's good head is here, just waiting for you to get it!" ”

Dong Cheng, Shen Ji, and Geng Gong were all stunned when they heard this, and Dong Cheng asked, "Which Xiao Tang are you?" But the Daimyo's Mansion is known as the Xiao Renxia of the Face Nie Langjun!? ”

Xiao Tang replied: "Which one else is there besides me?" ”

Dong Cheng didn't scold anymore, he only looked up and down on Xiao Tang with a pair of bull's eyes, and suddenly shouted: "Our southern Hebei army and your well water do not interfere with river water, what is the reason for you to kill my allies on the road?" ”

Xiao Tang shouted: "Kong Songzhuang Pan Taigong is kind to me, how can I allow you to harm his life!?" What's more, you robbed homes and houses just for money and food, but you indiscriminately killed innocents in the village and harmed the lives of hundreds of people. It's that God can tolerate you for a while, and I, Xiao Tangyan, can tolerate such atrocities!? ”

Dong Cheng snorted heavily, although he acted according to him, he did not kill the lives of the merchants and travelers who did not resist in the looting and borrowing of grain, but only killed those who dared to resist stubbornly. But a strongman who makes a living by licking blood with a knife in the green forest, how rare is it to have a few more lives on hand? Aren't you a well-known figure on the north and west roads of River 1? What kind of mother is pretending to be high, who is putting on this face to see?

Dong Cheng was about to scold back, but was stopped by Shen Ji on the side, and Shen Ji said to Xiao Tang: "Xiao Renxia, I can't hide it, this time my brothers and I borrowed grain from Jizhou and Enzhou villages, although Zongcheng County, Xiao Jiaji and other places in the Daimyo Mansion are right under our noses, but our brothers also know that many of Xiao Renxia's shops are there, and Xiao Renxia's name in the north and two roads of He1 is total, so he didn't break Zongcheng County and other places to find your bad luck."

And although the misunderstanding was first made this time, Xiao Renxia led people to kill my allies in the southern Hebei army without asking questions, and did all the way with the officials and soldiers of the imperial court. ”

"What more birds can you talk about with this guy!?" Dong Cheng scolded again: "I always listen to the name of the rivers and lakes of that guy on weekdays, but I really forgot that guy made his fortune by flattering the famous mansion and staying behind to stay in the prime minister's office!" This kind of person only has utilitarianism in his eyes, how can he take the righteousness of the rivers and lakes seriously!? ”

"Wait." Geng Gong, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke: "Xiao Renxia, let our brothers discuss for a moment. ”

Geng Gong rode his horse to Dong Cheng's side again, and persuaded in a low voice: "Although this Xiao Tang killed the allies in the southern Hebei army, the three people who came here to loot Lei Zhen, Duan Ren, and Feng Yi are not the righteous brothers who cut off the head of the chicken and burn the yellow paper, but it is the lives of our brothers who are sacrificed for those three people!"

If you can run a monk and can't run the temple, then Xiao Tang is in the Daimyo's Mansion, and you can't find him? Since he is also a well-known figure in the north and north of He1, and he is also a figure on the road, in my opinion, we have the right to collect the army, and we will make plans when we understand the reason for this matter of Zhang Mengzhu. ”

Although Dong Cheng was reckless, their so-called Southern Hebei Army Green Forest Alliance was originally a rabble of second- and third-rate cottages in Hebei and Hedong, and they didn't have much affection for each other. Geng Gong is right, why consume your strength for three dead people? Zhang Dimeng is the master of this matter, so why fight to the death with that Xiao Tang now?

After some consideration, Dong Cheng made up his mind, and shouted to Xiao Tang: "Today, I should sell a few thin noodles to your name of Raushzirenxia, but you must also know that you have broken the rules of the road in the official mansion." Our Southern Hebei Army and yours have already come to an end! ”
