In Tongyu County, the commander Wang Huan ordered the military supervisor to record the large and small battles during the crusade against Zhang Diji's southern army, and at this time Kefu County was over, and reported to the Privy Council for meritorious rewards and punishments.

Among the forbidden generals, the deputy marshal of the army, Zhongshan Anping Jiedu made Zhang Kai kill the thief generals Shi Ding and Wu Cheng; The Daimyo's Mansion stayed behind and commanded the Sima Army to make Suo Chao axe and kill the thieves Fang Shun, Zhang Li, and Dai Mei; Dezhou Commander Sibu Army commanded Wei Dingguo and Shan Yanqi to kill the thief general Zhang Neng, of which Wei Dingguo set up a fire in Lin1 Qing County to get rid of 2,000 thieves, and Shan Yanqi offered water to irrigate Yongnian City, which should be credited with the first merit......

In the Yongzhong Township of Minzhuang, Lu Junyi, a member of the Daimyo Mansion, killed the thieves Ling Guang and Suo Xian; Shi Xiu, the governor of Xiao Mansion, led the township to defeat the thieves who invaded Zongcheng County; Xiao Jiaji's Baozheng all fired guns and sticks, and Xue Yongsheng, the head of the thief, captured the thief Geng Gong, and the sound of guns stabbing leaves; When the fire moved to attack the city of Zhou, and the hiding place of the remnants of the southern Hebei of Tongluo Mountain was discovered; Tang Long hammered and killed the thief Lei Zhen and others, waiting to be presented to the imperial court, and there was another reward.

Geng Gong deceitful in surrendering the thief is meritorious, and he should be hired. The rest of the thieves Weng Kui, Su Ji, and Lu Hui (because of their accomplices in falling grass, Zhu Jing fought against evil and returned to the right, fought several times, and killed the thief leader Xu Yue and other meritorious services), surrendered in time, and the merits and crimes were offset. In addition, the government arrested the criminals Sun An and Qiao Daoqing, and helped the army to eliminate the thieves Fan Yuming and Wang Ji, and they will return to the court to report to the court and ask for forgiveness for their crimes. The rest of the entourage of thieves asked the emperor to surrender to the edict, and sent officials to take it, and those who did not have any serious crimes were also allowed to surrender and return to the villagers.

There is also the practice of Xiaojiaji Township, Zongcheng County, Yong Bow Horse Yishi Hua Rong, the son of the ancestral general, the official of the imperial court, the first Zhang Di Shi of the southern Hebei army, shot and killed the thief Feng Yi, Zhang Xiang, Lu Yuan, Xiang Zhong, Shi Jing, outstanding military achievements, to be approved by the Privy Council after the official body, awarded to the meritorious name.

And the one with the highest military achievements is still Xiao Tang after several battles, killing the thief generals Dong Cheng, Zhong Liang, Duan Ren, Yu Deyuan, Zheng Zhirui and others, and recommended his henchmen to sneak into Quzhou to break the city, persuade the thief general Geng Gong to take Yiyang City, and explore the thieves in Tongqi Mountain to capture Zhang Di, the first of the southern Hebei army. These achievements are all certain, and the army commander Wang Huan is not a person who conceals his merits, and he is particularly optimistic about Xiao Tang, plus Xiao Tang has the relationship between Liang Shijie, the minister who stayed in the famous mansion, it is common for him to be promoted exceptionally.

However, when discussing the punishment of Bian Xiang, the former general of the Southern Hebei Army, there was a controversy among the generals.

"Wang Jiedu, the thief Bian Xiang has helped to abuse the heavenly army several times. According to the opinion of the lower officials, other thieves can be spared, but this guy is absolutely unsparing! ”

Speaking is Zhengzhou soldiers and horses supervisor Chen Zhu, he and Wu Bingyi, Ma Wanli supervised the army ineffectively, defeated in Feixiang, Zhaozhou, caused Zhang Di to lead the southern Hebei army to flee in Zhaozhou, and successively plagued Cizhou, Xiangzhou and even Hedong Longde Mansion, Weisheng Army and other military states, and the Privy Council will be held accountable when it is investigated.

Who is it that has caused them to fall into such an embarrassing situation? It's not Bian Xiang, who killed them at that time! Seeing that when Xiao Tang pleaded with Wang Huan to go to the court for Bian Xiang, he was pardoned for his crimes, Chen Zhu was the first to be resentful, so he bluntly said to Wang Huan.

Xiao Tang glanced at Chen Zhu and said: "Bian Xiangsheng captured Li Tianxi, and killed Lin Xin and Zhang Xiong, two thieves, and also contributed a lot to capture the culprit Zhang Di. Why is he alone forgiven? ”

Chen Zhu stared at Xiao Tang tightly, gritted his teeth and said: "This guy only returned to obedience when the thief was defeated, and his heart must be insincere!" How can it be spared? ”

Xiao Tang smiled coldly, and said to Chen Zhu: "There are people in the green forest who have been framed by corrupt officials and slanderers and have gone astray for a while. With Bian Xiang's martial bravery, wouldn't it be a good thing if he received lenient amnesty and contributed to the country? ”

When Chen Zhu heard Xiao Tang's words, he was overjoyed, and he said coldly: "Xiao Detention Prison, you only care about maintaining the stubborn thief who is fighting against the imperial court, what benefit does it do to him?" Besides, you say that the grass cobs are doing harm everywhere, but it is the fault of the government and the court, okay, aren't you slandering the mediocrity of today's saints!? ”

Xiao Tang's face was as usual, and he said leisurely: "A wise man has a thousand thoughts, and there must be a mistake." It is the most holy sage, how can it be without fault? Does Chen Dujian think that I have been in power for more than 150 years since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, and the officials of the previous dynasties have been in power for one day, so they can't tolerate the slightest resentment from the people of Li? If you are in the grass and compete with the government for a while, you can't be forgiven? ”

Chen Zhu shouted, "Isn't it? In vain, you eat the court, how dare you excuse the grass thief! The nature of the fallen grass bandits is difficult to change, and today they are afraid of the divine power of the heavenly army and pretend to be obedient, and he will become a disaster one day! ”

As soon as Chen Zhu's voice fell, he heard someone say coldly: "Okay, it turns out that I am also a thief who is difficult to change, what kind of disaster do you think I can become?" ”

It was the deputy marshal of the army who listened to the words, Chen Zhu's expression was suffocated, and cold sweat seeped from his forehead. Just now, he was quick to talk, he actually forgot that there were many festival envoys in the court, most of them were in the first emperor's season, and Zhang Kai was one of them, in front of this lone tiger who had fallen into the grass, what is the thief's nature that is difficult to change, isn't it a slap in the face of the top boss in the army?

Looking at Xiao Tang's calm and complacent face, Chen Zhu couldn't help but scold: I thought I was holding this Xiao Tang's handle, but I didn't expect that it was he who touched the moldy head of the guy who opened it!

Seeing a pair of tiger eyes glaring at him coldly, how dare Chen Zhu's tone be harder? He snorted: "Zhang Jiedu forgive me, the young general is speechless for a while......"

"Shut your beak!" Zhang Kai shouted: "How to report the affairs of the court, it is up to me and Wang Jiedu to decide, how can you be a birdman?" You and other chaotic fools have missed the military plane, and you are not ashamed of yourself, but you dare to come to ask for the official's wildfire to eat, get out! If you fart again, I'll let you eat a hundred military sticks first! ”

Seeing the hot-tempered Zhang Kai furious, how could Chen Zhu, Wu Bingyi, and Ma Wanli dare to talk about it again? Zhang Kai drank back Wen Da, Xue Yuanhui and other generals, squinted at Xiao Tang, snorted and said: "Okay, you Xiao Tang, don't you want to fight with others to take advantage of your tongue on my head?" ”

"Who told you to be good and strong? What can you do if you are born in the green forest, who is not our brother? Others mentioned it, but only you could stand it and stir up the anger. Coach Wang Huan was happy, after saying to Zhang Kai, he asked Xiao Tang: "This Bian Xiang, he already knows his skills, but he doesn't know how to behave?" ”

Xiao Tang reported to Wang Huan: "The good teacher Wang Jiedu learned that Bian Xiang broke the granary outside the squire to relieve the villagers because of the evil gentry and cruel officials. ”

Later, Xiao Tang told how Bian Xiang maintained the Han family in Xiangzhou in Anyang City, and how he turned against Zhang Di and his party in Tongbi Mountain, Wang Huan nodded after hearing this, and said: "Even if he is such a righteous man, it is not in vain that when Ben Shuai reported to the imperial court, he asked for forgiveness of his crimes...... Xiao Tang, my brothers and I were favored by the first emperor back then, and we fought in the east and west, but now although the official residence is the envoy, if it is not for the official decree of the imperial family, it is just a quiet and happy life.

In the future, I will raise my military prestige in the Song Dynasty, and I will do my job more conscientiously for the younger generations, you must remember my words: We are officers, although we are serving the military orders of our superiors, but we must also be open-minded, and we will not be good men who stand up to the sky in vain in our lives! ”

Hearing that Wang Huan's words seemed to have a different meaning, Xiao Tang respectfully bowed and hugged his fists and said: "Wang Jiedu's teachings, the last general must be remembered!" ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※

At noon the next day, he and the army had to make a little preparation, and when the generals and soldiers would not worsen their injuries on the way to the general division, and they would stay in Tongqi County for a few days, Xiao Tang and Hua Rong, Bian Xiang, Sun An, Qiao Daoqing, Suo Chao, Zhu Jing, Shi Qian, Wei Dingguo, and Shan Tingqi found a restaurant in the county to arrange a feast and drink heartily. Among the people, only Xue Yong and Bian Xiang's henchman Fu Xiang stayed in the camp to recuperate, and when they had drunk three rounds and laughed and laughed loudly, the county lieutenant from the yamen of Tonglu County came to celebrate.

The county lieutenant is a fine person, and he knows that if the army does not come in time this time, when he asks the southern Hebei army thieves to break Tongluo County, not to mention his official hat as a county lieutenant, his life will not be saved. Xiao Tang is also very famous on Hedong Road now, and the county lieutenant is even more smiling, and he has no mouth to praise and thank Xiao Tang.

Suo Chao and Bian Xiang fought twice, and he was very impressed by his ability, he raised his bowl and said: "You man, I am not as good as you than the big axe, and now I will not be a mortal enemy again, I am also very happy!" How about we compare the amount of wine this time? ”

Although Bian Xiang still had a few serious injuries on his body, he didn't care at all, he also picked up the bowl and said proudly: "I am also fighting with you, watching you fight and fight, I really live up to your name as a 'pioneer'!" ”

Bian Xiang said, looked at Hua Rong again, and said loudly: "And you, Xiao Li Guang, the bow and arrow are indeed good!" Speaking of which, you didn't kill me with an arrow on the battlefield, but I should honor you for this bowl of wine. ”

Hua Rong smiled heartily and said: "Most of the ghosts under my arrows are wolf-hearted dogs and rat-eyed roe deerheads, but how can they ruin the lives of heroes?" Brother Bian Xiang's ability, I Huarong also admires it very much, this bowl of wine, when we drink it together. ”

At this time, Xiao Tang said to Sun An and Qiao Daoqing: "At this time, the two of them helped to break the thief, and when the imperial court approves it, they will be pardoned, I don't know what the two of you plan to do in the future?" ”

Sun An drank all the spirits in the bowl and said: "Xiao Renxia repays his grievances with virtue, this kindness is remembered by my Sun An, but the murder I did in the past, if it is related to Xiao Renxia, it must involve the benefactor." Now that I can return my innocent body, if Xiao Renxia doesn't give up, my Sun An's ability will be sold to Xiao Renxia! ”

With the help of a fierce man like Sun An with the strength of the Five Tigers, Xiao Tang was naturally extremely happy, he looked at Qiao Daoqing again, and said with a smile in his eyes: "Daochang Qiao, what do you say?" ”

Qiao Daoqing rolled his eyes and said, "What's the matter, is it possible to force me to be grateful to you?" Because you told me and Brother Sun An to avoid the lawsuit, but didn't I also take the risk to help you capture Zhang Di's wife? This is called grievances and grievances, and they don't owe each other! ”

Xiao Tang knew that Qiao Daoqing's temperament was a little perverse, but he didn't care, so he said with a smile: "That's right, where is the Taoist going from here, how can I stop it?" ”

"But ......" Qiao Daoqing changed his words and said: "Now I have something important to do, but my old mother is old and frail, and now I am the only one who has no skills to take care of the doppelganger." You have a great business in the Daimyo's house, and if you can properly settle your mother, but you have that wish for me, I should really thank you for your kindness. ”

Xiao Tang was a little curious when he heard this, and he asked: "The Dao Leader Ling Tang entrusted me to take care of myself, so as not to be lazy, but what important things does the Dao Chief have to do?" ”

Qiao Daoqing was happy and said; "You call me one by one, but although I have learned some magic techniques, the Taoist Xuanmen is very poor! I have long heard that there is a Luo Zhenren in Erxian Mountain, Jiugong County, Jizhou, in Liao, who is proficient in the art of Huang Lao, and is a master of Taoism. Since I have entered the Daomen, I will not be able to wander around the Tao without knowing the Fu Gong Dao for a lifetime, so I want to worship the Naro Zhenren to learn the Tao from the teacher, and it is not in vain to return to the Tao and realize the wish of foolishness. ”

Xiao Tangxin said that there is really this section in the original book, Qiao Daoqing had visited Luo Zhenren before he threw himself into Tianhu, but Luo Zhenren turned him away because Qiao Daoqing learned the outer way, not the right way, and when Qiao Daoqing was defeated, he comprehended the sentence "Yude Demon Surrender" before he surrendered to the Song Jiang army, and then became a disciple of Luo Zhenren.

Qiao Daoqing is going to go this time, I'm afraid I still have to eat a closed door, right? It's just that I don't know where Luo Zhenren's disciple, Liangshan's fourth place in the clouds, Gongsun Sheng, is at this time...... Xiao Tang didn't have such a good mind to say to Qiao Daoqing, so he said: "Although the Taoist chief can rest assured, there is no need to worry about the matter of Fengyang Lingtang, and I have a hand over to Jizhou to drink the horse and the grass falling, and call the fire-eyed and fierce Deng Fei, if the Taoist has something......

While he was talking, he suddenly heard the noise under the restaurant, and saw fifty or sixty young men gathered in one place, just rushing towards the restaurant.

Xiao Tang and the others became vigilant when they saw it, now that the thieves in southern Hebei have just been eliminated, isn't there a remnant of thieves waiting for an opportunity to take revenge in Tonglu County?

When the county lieutenant of the Yamen of Tongluo County saw it, he spat and scolded: "This is an idler who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic!" It's a time of life! Look at me, I can't punish them! ”

After the county lieutenant said that, he turned his head and smiled at Xiao Tang again: "The generals are not shocked, but they are just two groups of idlers who are not successful in the county, and they are used to fighting and killing on weekdays, but today they collided with you!"
