Chapter 226: Bandits
On the other hand, it was said that the brothers of the Zhongyi Society under Liang Xing had many halls in the area of Zhending Mansion, and when they heard the announcement of the imperial court, they hurriedly flew pigeons to report it. When Deng Yun heard this, he couldn't wait for Cao Cheng's reply, so he quickly ordered Li Jin and Zheng Ming to lead the brothers in the village, disguised as homeless people, and went to Qingzhou at night in batches. In two days, nearly 5 or 6,000 brothers had gone. Deng Yun was about to order Niu Gao to lead more than 10,000 brothers to leave, but he heard the news that Liu Tao was preparing to lead his troops to attack Daxing Mountain.
On this day, Deng Yun summoned everyone to discuss in the back hall, and when everyone heard that Liu Tao wanted to raise troops to fight, they were all angry and scolded one after another. Deng Yun's face was dignified, and he said coldly: "This must be because the imperial court is afraid that I will flee back to Daxing Mountain and rebel, so I ordered Liu Xuan to raise troops to attack him." Liu Xuanfu is an important minister of the imperial court, but he is ordered to do things, and the brothers must not be rude and abused. ”
As soon as Deng Yun's words came out, everyone stopped. Huang Jingyi hurriedly came out and arched his hand: "The matter is now, the overall situation should be the priority, if Liu Xuanfu really leads the troops to come, we can only give a head-on blow, if we can deter it, then it is naturally good!" If you can't, it's okay, and we can take the risk. With the danger of traveling the mountain, even if there are 100,000 male soldiers, there is no need to have them! Liu Xuanfu is difficult to take, and it doesn't take many days to retreat. ”
"It's not easy to deter them. The fifth brother is excellent in martial arts, and he is loyal to the court, if he is in the army, I am afraid that no one will be his opponent! Ji Qing's face changed, and he said sharply.
"A yellow-haired erection, what are you afraid of!? If he dares to come, see how I capture him!! Niu Gao shouted, but his face was full of anger, and they all argued. Suddenly, Deng Yun shouted, shocked everyone, and said in a condensed voice: "Liu Xuanfu and the fifth brother both know that I am in Daxing Mountain, with the temperament of the two of them, if they come this time, they will work hard." In this way, tomorrow, all the leaders in the village will gather in the lobby of the public hall, and I will explain everything to you brothers in person! ”
When Huang Jingjing heard this, his eyes lit up, and he was secretly happy in his heart, what he was most afraid of was that Deng Yun still had extravagant hopes for the imperial court and gave up halfway, but now it seemed that he was too worried, and immediately threw a look at Niu Gao, Niu Gao understood, and hurriedly took the order. Everyone was discussing, Liang Xing finally rushed back to report, fortunately it was good news, Cao Cheng heard that Deng Yun wanted to take Yanyun's land as a barrier to protect the country and resist the gold thief, and felt that it was righteous, not only willing to arrange convenience, but also specially prepared ships. Of course, Deng Yun would not ask Cao Cheng for this favor in vain, and when he taught Liang Xing to go, he had already promised that he would be rewarded with 3,000 taels of grain and 1,000 taels of gold.
The 1,000 taels of gold are obtained by Niu Gao in recent years to annihilate several groups of vicious bandits, but most of them are returned to the nearby people, rewarded to the brothers in the village, and the thousand taels of gold are almost all the money in Daxing Mountain. However, fortunately, Daxing Mountain is suitable for tuntian, and the grain is sufficient. As for Deng Yun, as long as the food is sufficient, because as long as he goes to the land of Yanyun and waits for the situation to stabilize, he can secretly go to the Yunyun Treasure Palace, and there is no need to worry about having no money to use.
"Oh, this Cao Cheng is so enthusiastic?" Deng Yun's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this. Huang Jingyi heard the meaning and said with a smile: "The lord doesn't have to worry too much. The ambition of the golden thief and wolf, if he invades the Central Plains in the future, the world will be in chaos and the lives will be ruined. This Cao Cheng also hopes that the lord can block the gold thief, so that he can take the opportunity to expand Shili, and let the lord owe him a favor. Therefore, he helped us to go to Yanyun, which was beneficial and harmless, and I was happy. ”
"Hmph, sinister fellow!" Niu Gao snorted coldly, his face full of disdain. Deng Yun's face was calm, and he said: "There are many brothers in the mountain, all of whom have family members here, and this time to Yanyun, not only is the road far away, but also the hometown is uprooted, and it is across the mountains and seas, I am afraid that many people are reluctant to go, and would rather stay in the mountains." Fortunately, Liu Xuanfu is a benevolent and righteous person, and after we leave, we will not embarrass these innocent people. However, the flesh and blood are divided into two places, it is difficult to fulfill filial piety, after all, it is difficult for a strong man, if there is anyone who does not want to go with him tomorrow, he can be allocated to coil, sent home, and want to stay in the mountains, it is also good. ”
"The lord has thought it through. That's it! Huang Guijing tilted his head a little heavier and said in a deep voice.
That night, Liu Tao hurriedly summoned Yue Fei into the account, and when Yue Fei arrived, he saw that there was no one else in the tent except Liu Tao, and his face couldn't help but change.
"In tomorrow's war, you and your deployment don't have to go with the army, just stay in the camp."
Liu Tao said, Yue Fei was exactly what he thought in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel anxious, and hurriedly said: "Xuanfu Lord is slow." There are many heroes in Daxing Mountain, and they should not be underestimated. ”
Liu Tao was obedient, sighed, turned around silently and said, "If you see that dragon barbarian tomorrow, what should you do?" ”
When Yue Fei heard this, his body was like being hit by a thunderbolt, and he couldn't help but tremble, his eyes showed a bit of sadness, but he had already made up his mind.
"The eldest brother is benevolent and righteous, and he must be victimized by traitors, and when the time comes, Fei will try his best to persuade him, and he is willing to go to Beijing with the eldest brother to face the saint and persuade the current bixia to thoroughly investigate the grievances!!"
Yue Fei's words were sonorous and powerful, without the slightest hesitation. When Liu Tao heard this, he was furious, thinking that he had not been in the army for a long time, and he didn't know that the court was sinister and so temperamental, but in case, he would definitely fall to the ground, and he couldn't help shouting angrily: "Presumptuous!" You really don't know how thick the sky is, bixia is the son of heaven, you are just a small Chengxinlang, don't say that the face is sage, I'm afraid you can't even enter the palace!! What will you do then!? ”
"It's man-made, and I'm willing to try it with my life! If the eldest brother is really wrongfully punished, Fei will never live alone!! Yue Fei's bright, Jinpeng-like eyes exuded a resolute and bright light, full of heroic righteousness, and Liu Tao's heart was secretly surprised.
"Oh, that's it. Even if you have this determination, how can the dragon barbarian be willing to give in? When the time comes, you two will only turn against each other, so why bother? I have a good relationship with Zhou's seniors, and I really don't want him to see his two most proud disciples killing each other under Jiuquan. I have made up my mind, without my order, you and Wang Gui and other generals have to stay in the camp, and if you dare to disobey the order, you will be beaten with a cane for thirty and expel from the army!! Liu Tao ignored Yue Fei's determination and issued a military order. Yue Fei's complexion changed when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "Lord Xuanfu!" ”
"Step down !!" Liu Tao glared and shouted angrily. Yue Fei was helpless and left.
Time passed, like a white horse passing by, and before I knew it, it was noon the next day. Deng Yunzheng was in the lobby of the public hall and met with a group of leaders in the mountain to explain the uprising. Everyone already admired Deng Yun, and while they were excited, almost everyone was willing to follow him, hoping to create a great achievement under Deng Yun's command. There are only a few people who really don't want to leave their hometowns, but they don't want to disperse, and they are willing to stay in the mountains. Deng Yun was not reluctant, so he discussed yesterday and made arrangements.
At this moment, someone suddenly came to report that a detachment of officers and soldiers, about several thousand people, had arrived ten miles outside Daxing Mountain.
"My lord, there are not many officers and soldiers, I expect it to be just a temptation, don't care. You can send a warrior to meet him. I saw Yelu Fengxian put on the ghostly mask again, but she asked again and again. After all, this is more convenient in front of everyone.
When Deng Yun heard this, he just nodded his head. Niu Gao hurriedly came out, and shouted: "My subordinates are willing to go!" ”
Deng Yun saw that it was Niu Gao, and his face was certain, so he ordered him to lead more than 1,000 elites to meet the enemy, not to fight on a large scale, but to be able to deter officers and soldiers. When Niu Gao was leaving, Deng Yun repeatedly instructed him to pay attention to Yue Fei, and if he saw him, he should not be defeated. Niu Gao agreed, but he didn't take it to heart, but wanted to have a big fight with Yue Fei to see if he really had the ability!
About an hour later, Niu Gao led his troops to Pingchuan at the foot of the mountain, and saw an army of officers and soldiers in front of him, the team was neat, and the flag covered the sun, which was quite powerful and surging.
Niu Gao snorted coldly and quickly set up a position. After a while, the officers and soldiers arrived, and Liu Tao, the leader, raised the tiger-headed sword in his hand, and the order was shouted, and the men and horses of all departments immediately dispersed, and quickly set up a long snake formation.
"Where is the dragon barbarian!? Teach him to come out and speak!! I saw Liu Tao suddenly galloping up his horse, flying forward dozens of feet in a row, shouting loudly, the sound was like the roar of a tiger and a wolf. Niu Gao was furious when he heard this, and with a single move, Pegasus came out, and said: "The big boss of my family is a hero of the world, who are you this old thing, how can you see it when you say it!?" ”
Liu Tao grabbed the reins, reined the horse, and saw that Niu Gao looked like a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his body was so burly that it was even a little terrifying, as if he had the body of a god and a demon, he was secretly surprised, and he didn't dare to attack without authorization, and shouted urgently: "I am really determined to make 'Liu Tao' also!" Today, I came to beg for the thief, forgive the dragon barbarian and made a lot of contributions to the Great Song Dynasty, if he is willing to surrender, you can avoid death and fall lightly!! ”
“hahahaha!!! This is really the words of the heavens, my family is in charge, righteous and thin, loyal to the court, the merits made in the past two years, I am afraid that your old thing will be difficult to compare in his life!! But now that he has been victimized by a traitor, innocently wronged, and has been sentenced to be a thief, can't it make people laugh!? Niu Gao's eyes were round, his evil eyebrows were raised, and he shouted angrily, and the sound was like thunder, which shocked Liu Tao's heart.
Liu Tao knew that he was wrong, but the king's order could not be violated, even if he was against his will, he had to bite the bullet and complete the mission.
"It's nonsense, come on!! Who captured this madman!! Liu Tao pointed to Niu Gao, and gave an order, and the two generals under his command galloped out of the horse, one made a spear, and one made a knife. Niu Gao hahadaxiao, not afraid of anti-joy, rode to welcome him.
Between the lightning and flint, Niu Gao met it fiercely, and the two soldiers knew that Niu Gao was good, and they attacked fiercely as soon as they came. Niu Gao laughed and applauded, the double gong was like a tiger jumping, every time it was smashed, the strange power was terrifying, it was not a ten-fold fight, one will be hit in the chest by Niu Gao, shot down the horse, the other will be shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly reined in the horse to escape, and was caught up by Niu Gao from behind, but also deliberately merciful, a mace hit the buttocks of the war horse, the war horse was in pain and ran away, and the soldiers who rode on it were thrown off the horse.
"Night mouse, not my opponent!! Where is the shaft called Yue Fei, come and fight!? ”
Niu Gao neighed, sat down and the horses did not stop, and flew to Liu Tao's place. Liu Tao couldn't help but be startled when he saw that he was so powerful, and then several generals shouted and were presumptuous, and Pegasus came out. Niu Gao was one enemy and three enemies, and he did not fall into the wind, and he was shocked to see that the officers and soldiers were all shocked, and they were cold before fighting. Niu Gao was entangled with these three people for about dozens of rounds, and the sound of weapons colliding was endless. At the time of the suddenness, Niu Gao was evil, smashed a long knife with a gong, and the fierce force made the soldier scream in pain.
