Water Margin Survival

"God, just open your eyes! The goddamn Tian Hu just snatched it once during the founding of the country, but when the country was subjugated, he came to kill and set fire. God! Are you blind?!"

The sound of howling and wailing by the old man seemed thin and powerless against the current background of chaos.The crackling black flames replaced the cooking smoke that should have been ignited at this time, blooming everywhere and rolling towards the sky.Groups of bandits broke into the courtyards of each household, threatening and intimidating the owner to hand over all the food and property.It's just that robbing wealth is relatively light. At this time, on the small road in the village, from time to time, there are thieves who are snarling and laughing, chasing young women in disheveled clothes, ignoring the bright world above their heads and the husband who is still alive behind him. .

Hedong Prefecture was originally a Bianjun County in the Song Dynasty, but it had no choice but to be neighbors with bandits. The people hadn't had a good life for a few days, but they met Tian Hu, who was so beastly, and wished to turn his native land into scorched earth. .For these innocent people who have lost their relatives and property, this is no longer a life for human beings, it is completely purgatory on earth.

"Listen to me! Don't leave a grain of grain or a copper coin, clean it all up for me! Man, pull it back for me to recharge, and the woman will take advantage of you bastards! Old man, why are you staring at me? , This is an imperial decree from our Jin emperor! We are just following orders! Hahaha..." The grinning laughter of the false Jin military officer was like the bells of hell, shrouding this densely populated village.

In recent days, the state of Jin has been ineffective in fighting against the Song Dynasty, not to mention losing its "land", and the Song army has raised the banner of recruiting surrender and accepting rebellion.As a result, many Caotou kings who were temporarily incorporated by Tian Hu threw themselves into the arms of Song Jun without shame.Right now, the military spirit of the Great Jin State is already in jeopardy.

In order to reverse this unfavorable situation, I don't know which wicked and smokey guy offered Tian Hu this "ingenious plan" to "motivate" the army's morale. For a while, only the land of Hedong was scorched everywhere.

"What a crime! How could a country be so dilapidated! Duan Ren, you went to find their chief and warned this blind man. Quickly retreat the troops! Go back where you came from!"

At this time, a passing "official army" saw such a tragic situation in the world, and even the leader of the Jin State couldn't stand it anymore, and immediately ordered his subordinates to stop the local army from committing atrocities.

"Prime Minister, Qianfeng has been in contact with this group of people a long time ago. These people are the local garrison. They said that they followed His Majesty's order not to leave a grain of food for the Song army!" Duan Ren, the general, stepped forward and replied.

"Nonsense! Hedong is the homeland of your majesty and you and me. When did he issue such a chaotic order to cut off children and grandchildren?" The middle-aged man who was called the prime minister was obviously angry. Even the rabbit knew not to eat the edge of the nest. Grass.As a native of Hedong, how could Tian Hu treat the villagers like this regardless of his fellowship?

"The order they just received the day before yesterday must have been a new order from His Majesty after we left Xinzhou!" Duan Ren did not dare to criticize the government of the opposite party.

"It's a swordsman! These guys are using His Majesty's name to ruin His Majesty's reputation. I don't care about it! Gather the team. First, I will kill these foreign thieves who have harmed the village! First, kill their leader! "

Seeing with his own eyes a villager killed by rebels on the field not far ahead, the middle-aged man was completely angry.Although based on his understanding of Tian Hu, he knew that Tian Hu could really make such an edict, but as a native of Fuzhou, he couldn't face the scene in his hometown without being indifferent.

However, although the main general was angry, Duan Ren was still making a difficult decision in his heart. Although he was not amazing, he was also an old man who followed Tian Hu Luocao before, and he still had foolish loyalty.At this time, Prime Minister Zheng's order made him very embarrassed.He also thought that this matter might really be Tian Hu's first and last, if he took this step now, wouldn't it be against the old king?

"Duan Ren, the sky is falling and the tall man is holding it up! I will take the responsibility for the order I gave, so you don't need to wait and see!" Zheng Zhirui understood what the general was thinking, but he knew that if he didn't do it now What, in the future, his sons and grandchildren surnamed Zheng may never be able to hold their heads up in Fuzhou.

"Prime Minister, it's not that the young general is hesitating. We are ordered by the imperial court to escort Ku Jin to Fengzhou. The responsibility is heavy! Seeing that we are about to arrive at the place, if there is an unexpected accident on the way, your Majesty will not even have the capital to make money in the future! Yeh And look at these people, they are all jealous, how can they submit obediently? Besides, if we beat the dog, we will provoke the people behind the dog. The one who guards this prefecture is the golden retriever Shi Wei who lost the territory of Jinzhou. His subordinates There are 5000 to [-] desperadoes, and the team we escorted Ku Jin is only worth [-] people, it's really embarrassing, we can't take advantage of it!" Duan Ren muttered.Not only refused to suppress the rebels, but tried to persuade Zheng Zhirui.

"You fucking wretch, I knew you were worthless! Tell you to beat a dog, what kind of dog owner do you mention to me? Why don't you go to the Privy Council to show your strength with such thorough consideration? It just so happens that Privy Councilor Song is in the team. I have a heart." I want to find a good future for you!" Zheng Zhirui was so angry that he would have to explain to his subordinates the next order of his majestic Zhongshu Shilang, one can imagine how bad the situation is now.

Ever since Tong Guan, who had been inactive for three or two months, seemed to have taken an aphrodisiac, the warlord launched a fierce attack, and the situation in Tian Hu's side has been worsening day by day. I think that the Great Jin Kingdom, which almost occupied the entire Hedong, now only has a few people in the north. A military state hung his life, not only fell to Shizhou, Jinning Army and Pingping Army one after another, but even Tian Hu's gentle hometown Taiyuan Mansion was not kept.

Although Tian Hu personally led people to fight against the Song army in Xinzhou, he had to arrange the back road in advance, and transported all the gold and silver collected over the year to Fengzhou, the last fortress, to prepare for future escape. Prepare.

Let's say that at this time Duan Ren was scolded by Zheng Zhirui, but he just kept silent. Zheng Zhirui became more and more angry.Now it's better, only to encounter a little setback, one by one, like eggplants beaten by Shuang, wilting, even Xiao Xiaoping is worried about gains and losses, how can he still look like a general?

The more Zheng Zhirui thought about it, the more angry he became, he simply ordered Duan Ren's military post to be dismissed, and called another member of the army, Chen Xuan, to come to listen to the order.

When Chen Xuan came, he was not the only one.Another big man also came to watch the excitement.for this person.Zheng Zhirui was in a bad mood, so he reluctantly exchanged a few words of pleasantries, and then he turned to order Chen Xuan: "Duan Ren has been dismissed, and you will replace him. Now the truth orders you to lead people to put down the gang of rebels in front!"

"Master Xiang, this is Shi Wei's domain, and that golden retriever's ass is not easy to touch!"

Chen Xuan's first reaction made Zheng Zhirui laugh instead of angry.He couldn't help saying to the big man who came with him: "Private Song, look at these fellows, they are all proud of being big and rough on weekdays, but when I want to use them, they immediately become more sour than sour scholars! Think twice about what I say!"

That Privy Councilor of Song Dynasty was exactly the Deputy Privy Councilor Hu Baoyi Song Jiang who had almost worn out his bench.But asked him why he was here at this time?It's only because Tian Hu is a man who still has some knowledge. Now that the Jin army is retreating steadily, Tian Hu is on guard against Song Jiang's defection.To seduce him from those old ministries, he had long thought of taking him to the rear and putting him under house arrest.This happened to coincide with the transfer of the gold and silver collected from the treasury this time, so Tian Hu followed suit and ordered Song Jiang to be Zheng Zhirui's deputy. Chance.

Although Song Jiang is the deputy envoy of Yagang.In fact, he is a polished commander. In the team of 5000 people, only [-] soldiers were brought down from Mount Erlong by him, and the rest were all from Tian Hu's old army when he was in the grass, so naturally they would not give a damn about him.In desperation, Song Jiang had no choice but to go with him.Song Jiang is the only one who can be regarded as a man who is suspicious from top to bottom.

"General Chen, since Mr. Zheng has spoken, you, as a subordinate, can save Shangguan some worry!" Song Jiang coughed at this moment and said earnestly, "No matter what the consequences will be in the future, this privy envoy will take on the responsibility together with Mr. Zheng." , never involve the people below you!"

I don't know if it was Song Jiang's words that made a difference, or Duan Ren's lesson from the past made Chen Xuan feel worried, so he finally took people up with him.Zheng Zhirui let out a long sigh, looked at Song Jiang who had made up his mind, and said, "The hearts of the people are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead!"

Seeing this, Song Jiang evaded the truth and said in vain: "Brother Zheng is really a model of worrying about the people. If there are more sages like you in my Great Jin Dynasty, the situation will not be like this!"

"The situation is not because of the people's hearts, but because of the disparity in strength! After all, Hedong is a corner, how can we stop the Great Song Tigers and Western Army? Right now, the Fan Kingdom is destroying the alliance, and the Song Army is approaching the city. You and I have to work harder to defend Your Majesty. The way back!" Zheng Zhirui kept his eyes on Song Jiang when he spoke, as if trying to penetrate the true thoughts in his heart.

Feeling the other party's eyes on him, Song Jiang's face was calm, he still smiled and said: "You are the new Fengzhou comfort envoy, and Song will be an idler after escorting this errand. You have to rely on Brother Zheng to take care of you!"

"Between you and me, what are you talking about! Let's go now, brother, and get to Fengzhou as soon as possible!" Zheng Zhirui waved his hand, greeted Song Jiang, and then ordered the brigade to continue heading northwest.

Let's say that there are only three to five hundred bandit soldiers in this village, how can they be Chen Xuan's opponent?In less than half an hour, the village that was originally screaming and jumping finally cooled down, but the whole village was full of crying and mourning, but these had nothing to do with Chen Xuan. I saw this perfunctory General Chen hastily mobilized his troops. , to catch up with the brigade.

Unexpectedly, he hadn't been chasing forward for a long time, and he quickly caught up with the team. Chen Xuan was surprised, and went up to ask his own people. After asking, he found out that all the nearby villages were attacked by Shiwei, and Zheng Xianggong sent Miao Cheng to lead them forward To quell the chaos, the team stopped five times and stopped three times, so the marching speed was slowed down.When Chen Xuan heard about it, he didn't take it seriously, Zheng Xianggong is a scholar after all, this is setting him on fire!

as expected!After Zheng Zhirui quelled the rebellious soldiers from ten miles and eight towns, although he never encountered such a bad thing before, when the brigade approached about ten miles to the left of Fuzhou city, a group of menacing men and horses poured out to escort the weak The team kills.

All the generals below Zheng Zhirui complained secretly, but Zheng Zhirui was still calm and composed, instead he ordered to set up the battle, and talked with Song Jiang on the horse like no one else was around.

"My surname is Zheng, I Shiwei never offended you in the past, how dare you kill my people indiscriminately now?!" The person who came was the furious fuzhou appeasement envoy Jin Maojiu Shiwei. , so they didn't meet each other as soon as they came up.

"General Shi, you are from Hebei, and I am from Hedong. If my subordinates are doing everything in your hometown, burning, killing and looting, after you meet them, do you care?" Zheng Zhirui replied loudly.

"My hometown has been told me to rob it long ago, so I won't bother Zheng Xianggong! This time, I was ordered by the surname Tian to fortify the wall and clear the country. What are you jumping out now? Do you want to learn from Wang Lun to do justice for the sky? However, you seem to be following the wrong person?" When Shi Wei was speaking, the bandits laughed again and again, not paying attention to the friendly army opposite.Beside Shi Wei, Deng Tianbao and Wang Dashou, one on the left and one on the right, kept staring at the chariot.Obviously estimating the weight of this batch of goods.

"It's their business that Liangshanbo acts for the heavens, and it has nothing to do with me. I only know that as long as he is still a person, he will not be shameless and shameless to harm the village! But then again, I have nothing to do with you harming your hometown. But it’s not okay to mess around in my prefecture!”

Zheng Zhirui was no longer polite at this time, the other party had already called the emperor of the state of Jin as "the one surnamed Tian", so we can see that these people may have already turned their backs on the idea.But he wasn't worried at all, because both he and Tian Hu who was far away in Xinzhou were already ready to squeeze out the pussy.
