Volume 2 The Bandit Leader of Daxing Mountain Chapter 55 Yuan Xiu Came to Attack
"No need. I think the big boss is very anxious, and it must be a matter of urgency. It was easy for me to come all the way, and I was full of energy and could go immediately. "Zhao Yun has always been serious and responsible, but now he is more anxious than Deng Yun.
Deng Yun smiled slightly, appreciating Zhao Yun even more, and said with a smile: "Don't say more." You're in such a hurry, I don't want to go. It's just that this fact is worrying, and I want my brother to be familiar with the road, so I have to trouble my brother. It doesn't take much time for you to rest for a while. ”
When Zhao Yun heard this, he was also grateful. Deng Yun then led him into the village, and Xu Qing went to order someone to clean up a clean room. For a while, Deng Yun briefly talked about the letter delivery. Zhao Yun knew the reason, and thought that Deng Yun valued love and righteousness, and he was more willing to take this trip.
At noon, Zhao Yun set off, and before leaving, Deng Yun specially prepared a burden for him, which contained some broken silver, rations, and a few clean clothes.
"I saw that my brother's figure was about the same as mine, so I took a few sets for my brother from my mother. I hope that my brother will not be disgusted. ”
Zhao Yun's heart tightened, his eyes were full of brilliance, and he arched his hand and said: "The big boss treats me so politely and virtuously, and treats me like his own brother, dare not be bothered!?" ”
"Brother is serious. To be accompanied by a righteous man like my brother is my Deng Yun's luck. Deng Yun also replied, and after the two glanced at each other, Zhao Yun pulled out the horse, tied the burden, and then turned the horse and went down the mountain.
Time is easy, it has been half a month since Deng Yun came to Fenglin Mountain, although these days are uneventful, but they are really good. Every morning, as usual, Deng Yun would lead Xu Qing and other brothers to practice Wing Chun first for morning classes. After the morning class, Deng Yun and Xu Qing and others practiced their formations and attacked each other in a clearing on the mountainside, until half an hour before lunch. Earlier, Xu Qing had already taught the basic essentials of these righteous bandit formations, and they all had some foundations, and the drills were becoming more and more smooth. Of course, after each drill, Deng Yun would summarize with the leaders of all sizes and talk about it for half an hour until lunch. Every time Deng Yun mentioned it, it was to the point, and everyone admired it. After lunch, there will be a period of lunch break. At the end of the lunch break, Deng Yun would teach various skills, including bayonet spears, bows and arrows, swords and shields, horsemanship, and so on, until dusk, when the practice was over. Moreover, Deng Yun often takes some time out during this time period to test various homework in batches, so as to stimulate everyone's competitive psychology. Deng Yun had already learned a lot of skills from Zhou Tong, and he was also extremely proficient in the way of military training, coupled with the knowledge gained from later generations, he was able to compare with the extraordinary method. And what is even more rare is that Deng Yun's reputation and prestige are getting higher and higher in the hearts of the righteous bandits in Fenglin Mountain, and everyone is willing to listen to him, practice hard, and rarely be lazy. In this way, in just half a month, the combat effectiveness of these hundreds of righteous bandits is not inferior to that of ordinary horse thieves and evil bandits.
And at night, Deng Yunduo got together with his father and mother at home, as well as the Xu, Ji, and Huo families. Deng Chong is lively by nature, and a few years ago, there were often more than a dozen people gathered in the Deng family's mansion. The big guys have long been accustomed to this, and they get along well, like a big family. Besides, since Deng Yun came back, Deng's mother's spirit has become better and better, and she is smiling every day. Deng Yun looked happy, but he often had other thoughts in his heart.
And after half a month of recuperation, and with the healing elixir of Jinchuang Medicine, Deng Yun's injuries have healed.
Nowadays, the situation in the world is becoming more and more chaotic, first of all, in the first year of Xuanhe, the official master Zhao Ji, did not know the situation, ridiculous and pitiful, did not know the stakes, vainly pretended to be the country, and ordered the traitor Cai Jing and the Jin envoy to say that they wanted to ask the Jin people to attack Liao together. The gold lord Ah Gu inquired about the envoy and said that the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty were debaucherous, the national strength was adjusted, and natural and man-made disasters were endless, and there was a tendency to collapse. When the gold lord heard this, he laughed at Zhao Ji Yelang's arrogance and shamelessness, so he ignored it at first.
Later, Zhao Jijun saw that the gold lord had not replied for a long time, and Cai Jing thought that Song was not enough to show his sincerity, so he ordered Ma Zheng to bring an edict gift and go to Jinbang to apply for employment. When I walked to Dengzhou, I heard that the gold lord Aguta had been established as the emperor. When Zhao Ji heard this, he was shocked and angry, and he was anxious to teach Ma Zheng to return, and he wanted to discuss how to deal with the Jin people. Not long after, I heard that the Jin people defeated the Liao soldiers one after another, and the soldiers and horses of each team were extremely brave. Zhao Jijunchen was afraid when he heard it, how dare he have the idea of going against the Jin people. The traitor Cai Jing also said that these Jurchens originally lived in cave dwelling in the wilderness, migrated impermanently, and liked to eat raw meat, like wild beasts, so they were born fierce and extremely good at fighting, so they could only be linked. So Zhao Ji sent an envoy with a lot of money to meet the gold lord and talk about this union.
This gold lord A Guta is also a heroic figure, but also an old treacherous and cunning, very ambitious and ambitious, thinking that it is not easy to kill all the Liao people for a while, and the two tigers will fight, there will be an injury. Although the Song Dynasty has declined, after all, there has always been no shortage of heroes in the Central Plains, all because of Zhao Ji's incompetence, so that these heroes have no way out, but if it is a critical moment, these heroes will definitely emerge in droves. Therefore, Ah Guta did not want to let Song Guo take advantage of the fisherman, so as not to have a case.
So Ah Guda agreed to jointly suppress Liao, but secretly thought that the officers and soldiers raised by the traitorous ministers of the Song State were all useless waste, and if there was a war, where would be the opponent of the Liao, so that it would be good to lose its troops and attract Liao.
Zhao Ji, an ignorant old man, didn't know Ah Guda's calculations, and when he heard that Jin Bang agreed to unite, he was complacent, completely ignoring the persuasion of the old ministers Li Gang and Zong Ze. In addition, Tong Guan is greedy for merit, he can't measure his strength, and he wants to recover the land of Yanyun wholeheartedly, but it really depends on the chaos of the Song Kingdom sooner or later, plus Zhao Ji once said that whoever can recover the land of Yanyun will be crowned the king of Yan and sit on the sixteen states of Yanyun! Tong Guan had the idea of being the king, while recruiting soldiers and horses on a large scale, and at the same time admonishing Zhao Ji, asking him to return the land of Yanyun to the Song State after the joint destruction of Liao.
In the second year of Xuanhe, the Jin people were like bamboos, and the Liao people were defeated and retreated, but they scrambled to take most of Yanyun's place. Ah Gu sent back the book and told Zhao Ji that he Jinbang had spent an unknown amount of lives and money to defeat most of Yanyun's counties in half of the state, and he would never give it away in vain. Zhao Jijunchen saw that Jin Bang was getting stronger and stronger, and he suddenly woke up, knowing that he was a tiger and wolf devouring people, and hurriedly taught Tong Guan to send troops, and agreed that Jin would take Zhongjing, and Song would take Yanjing and Xijing. At the same time, Zhao Ji listened to Tong Guan's treacherous words, and planned to give 500,000 gold to Jin Rensui City, and take the people's fat and people's ointment in the treasury that was stained with blood, and use it to curry favor with Jinren, planning to get some convenience in the future, and if he wants to go back to the land of Yanyun, he can talk better. Shangshu Li Gang saw that Tong Guan had bad intentions, and bluntly admonished, Zong Ze even said that this was a move to raise tigers, how could Zhao Ji be mediocre and blindly heard slander.
Ah Guta used the money of the people of the Song Kingdom to reward the generals and soldiers. The Jin army was all excited, fighting for fame and fortune, and naturally they were invincible and conquered, and they captured many states and counties.
Zhao Jijunchen, seeing that Jin Bang slaughtered the Liao people, such as local chickens and tile dogs, thought that the Liao people no longer had the brave wind of the year, and thought about picking up the cheap, and ordered Tong Guan to be the Xuanfu envoy of Hebei and Hedong Road, and Cai You to be the deputy envoy, leading the generals to attack by different routes. How do you know that the Liao people are holding a breath of evil, and they hate the Song people who took advantage of the fire to rob and fall into the well, as soon as the two armies clashed, the Liao people would rather die than retreat, and blindly rushed forward to kill, those generals headed by Tong Guan and Cai Jing were mostly unlearned and unskilled, and they came to get the step of entering the body, but they had no idea of fighting, where could they withstand the Liao people who were like riding a tiger, and they were killed like a mountain of defeat, and they retreated, with countless casualties.
Zhao Ji learned that he was afraid that the Liao people would counterattack, so he hurriedly ordered to withdraw his troops to protect the territory. When the gold lord Aguta learned that the Song people had reneged on the covenant and retreated from the army, he was not angry, but laughed on the spot, and since then he has regarded the Song army as a rabble and the Song family as a bag.
Over the years, the comparison between the monarchs and ministers of the Jin State and the monarchs and ministers of the Song State has been seen by everyone in the world, and many heroes and talents in the Central Plains know that the day of the collapse of the Great Song Dynasty is not far away, and they are all worried. Zong Ze even secretly recruited these heroes and talents in Xiangzhou in case they were needed. These news flocked around, and the brothers in the Maple Forest Mountain often spread the rumors.
On this day, Deng Yun stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the direction of Iodine Lin Village, but he recalled a certain time in his mind, and muttered: "Time is easy, and now it is a matter of things and people." I think that at the beginning, I was still learning art from my teacher, writing papers in the morning, talking about soldiers at midnight, earnestly exhortation, and my words are still in my ears. The teacher's life is bright and upright, his skills are shocking, he is really a genius of the world, such a heroic figure, now he is a pinch of loess, covering the tomb door for a long time, and the clouds of people are dead, it is still difficult to protect his reputation, what a hatred! The teacher's dying will is vividly in my ears, and the old general Zong Ze has begun to recruit soldiers and horses, but now the family is remembering, and his mother's body is healing. I couldn't get out for a while. ”
Thinking of this, Deng Yun couldn't help but sigh. At this time, Xu Qing suddenly rode his horse over, his face full of solemnity. When Deng Yun saw it, his face couldn't help but change, and he rushed over.
"Big brother, according to the report from the brothers under the mountain, the old thief Yuan Xiu, relying on the fact that he was a big traitor to Tong Guan, borrowed a thousand soldiers and horses from the government, and summoned his disciples and grandchildren, all of whom were lieutenant generals and colonels, and they were about to attack Fenglin Mountain in a big way, claiming that they wanted to avenge his daughter and son-in-law!"
After Xu Qing turned over and dismounted, when he saw Deng Yun ushering in, he narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice. When Deng Yun heard this, his face suddenly changed greatly, but he was worried about Wang Ming's family first, and asked anxiously: "Yuan Xiu's old thief must have found the corpses of You Shanhu and his wife, do you know what is the situation of Zhang and Tang's families in addition to Wang Yuan?" ”
"Big brother rest assured. Wang Yuanwai is alert and has already sold his family property, as are the two uncles Zhang and Tang, who have left the village not long ago. And the old thief Yuan Xiu didn't seem to know that this matter had anything to do with them. ”
