Chapter 150 Xie Wendong
A river rushed out of a valley on the grassland, heading south, and a deep ditch was made between the Dashanglin Ridge on the south. A path passed through this deep ditch, with steep and protruding rocky walls on both sides. This is a shortcut trail leading to Taoshan from Yehu Ridge, a small path in the Yangyan Road.
Dou Jiande's scout regiment camp is set up in this hidden valley. These days, Dou Jiande's scout camp has fully monitored the movements in Taoshan, and even boldly sent Zhang Jin to invade the Taoshan Alliance camp by pretending to be a group of green forests coming to the alliance. Ling Yun had sent a messenger to inform him that Ling Yun personally led 5,000 troops out of Huaihuang yesterday and was scheduled to arrive at the foot of Taoshan tomorrow to fight the Daqingshan Green Forest Allied Army. The messenger conveyed Ling Yun's response to Dou Jiande and Zhang Jin.
He was praised and included in the outstanding performance of the scout regiment, and was included in the military merits. After the war, Ling Yun gave Dou Jiande two tasks. First, he tried to keep an eye on the leader of the Allied Army, including Zhang Qingshan, Heihu Zhang Cheng, etc., to prevent them from escaping. Second, the more critical the time is to fight, the less care should be taken. The scout regiment should closely monitor the various divisions of Taoshan, pay close attention to the movements of each division, and prevent people and horses from suddenly attacking Huaihuang.
Dou Jiande carefully listened to the messenger's relay, and took the letter and read it carefully. After giving the messenger's reward and resettlement, Dou Jiande called two brigade commanders, Hao Xiaode and Sun Anzu.
"Sanlang will arrive at the foot of Taoshan tomorrow, and I plan to go to Taoshan myself." After these days, Zhang Jin said that the information from the Taoshan Allied Army was sent back. Dou Jiande, like Ling Yun, had no doubt about the victory of the Huaihuang Army. At this time, he planned to go to Taoshan camp, mainly to complete Ling Yun's first mission, staring at important targets such as the old knife handle and the black tiger, in order to prevent their defeated soldiers from fleeing without a trace.
"Let's go with you." Sun Anzu and the others said.
"No, you two stay here and keep an eye on the paths leading to Huaihuang. Even if a bird flies by us, we must control the movements. We must never let them suddenly kill to Huaihuang. This time, Sanlang meant to intercept the enemy outside Huaihuang and deal with it directly." Dou Jiande said. For Dou Jiande, this is an important opportunity for him to show his ability. He has already believed that Ling Yun will have great potential, so he is determined to follow Ling Yun to make achievements and make achievements. A slave from a pillar country can almost destroy his family.
This made Dou Jiande feel difficult to calm down. But how could a farmer in Hebei stand out? It was too difficult? And now there is an opportunity in front of him, that is, to follow Lingyun and take advantage of Lingyun's power. Now Lingyun asked him to lead a scout group alone to show his trust in him. But a small scout group leader is not enough, and he still needs to better show himself to gain greater trust and a higher position. Now there are more than 20,000 troops in Huaihuang Army, but everything is inaugurated and many important positions are vacant. In his opinion, it is precisely the capable one who can live there.
After some arrangements, Dou Jiande selected more than ten riders, changed his clothes and rushed to Taoshan.
In the woods outside Taoshan, Zhang Jin said that he was waiting patiently in the forest with his brothers and his group.
"Why haven't the person arrived yet?" asked the leading man next to Zhang Jincheng.
"Be patient." Zhang Jin replied. They are waiting here to meet Dou Jiande. This time Dou Jiande will also sneak into Taoshan Camp. As for the man beside him, he is Lei Laohu, the second leader of Heishi Village. Lei Laohu is thirty-six years old, but he has been in the Heishi Village for twenty years. He is also well-known among the villages of Daqingshan, and is nicknamed Pilihu. Years of bandit career have made him develop a cruel, irritable and cunning personality. He is ignorant and does not believe in gods and Buddhas, and even does not distinguish between good and evil. He believes that in life, the autumn of the plants and trees cannot be in vain. He must seize the time to enjoy happiness, and have to have wine, meat and women. He is very clear about his personality. If he lives his life with his own abilities, it will definitely not work. Since that is the case, of course he can do this.
A promising business. He does feel that the most worry-free business in Green Forest is the most worry-free. Not only can he drink a big bowl of wine and eat a large piece of meat, he can also enter the bridal chamber every day and be a groom every day. Every time he goes out to do business, he must grab it back and be a wife of the village whenever he meets a young woman. Every time he grabs one, he will become a married woman, hold a ceremony, enter a bridal chamber, and be a groom. Of course, he is still a person who is tired of the new and old. Every time he has a new person, he will forget the old. After the new lady enters, he will reward his original wife to his brothers as his wife. This can be considered as eating meat by himself, and the brothers drink soup with him. Over the years, he himself can't tell how many wives he has married, but most of his brothers have wives. Of course, most of his wives are rewarded by him. In short, it will be more than 100.
However, Lei Laohu is just a second-in-command in Heishi Village. Heishi Village is a big village in Daqingshan. There are more than 5,000 people in the whole village, and there are more than 1,000 brothers from the battle camp. This time, the thirty-six villages responding to Laodaozi, Heishi Village is one of them. Among the large crowds of people at the foot of Taoshan, Heishi Village has a total of 1,500 brothers. Xie Wendong, the boss of Heishi Village, is a mixed-race of Hu and Han, and his ancestors have Xianbei blood. His family was once glorious, but by the time he was at his death. When he was young, he was designed to take away many land for a month of dark and windy night.
He sneaked into his enemy's house, killed more than 30 people in one go, then burned the other's house, fled outside the frontier and fell into a robbery. Because his ancestors were also military generals, he won a reputation with his good martial arts and righteousness and neglect of wealth since childhood, and gradually became the leader of Heishi Village. Heishi Village is a mountain village built on the Daqing Mountains on the border between the grassland and the Central Plains. Survival depends entirely on robbery and kidnapping, and doing whatever you can get money. Whether it is Turks, Han people, Xi people, Khitan people, no matter whether he is a vendor, a commoner, or even an army, as long as he encounters the opportunity, he will not be polite to arrest whoever he gets.
What is different from other parody villages is that Xie Wendong, who is famous for his martial arts, has a rule that he can steal anyone, but he cannot steal the poor. This rule is supported by the parody brothers. On the surface, people of course say that it is to rob the rich and help the poor, and there is also a way to steal. In fact, many people in the parody villages think that the poor really have no money to rob, so it is better to go with the flow and make a good reputation.
It is precisely because of the reputation of not robbing the poor people of the poor to help the poor that over the years, many people have often come to Heishi Village on the border, including Han and Hu people, both fleeing and avoiding revenge, and all kinds of people have made the population of Heishi Village reach more than 5,000, making it a mountain town on the border. Because of this reputation and population, Heishi Village has gradually become a famous village among the green mountains and green forests.
This time, Lao Daobazi summoned the alliance of various villages and attached great importance to Xie Wendong's Heishi Village and sent people to invite them to the alliance in person.
After the alliance, Xie Wendong also became one of the main talkers of the Allied Army. However, after Zuoshan Diao had been in the Green Forest for many years, he immediately felt a bad omen. Back then, Xie Wendong and his Black Stone Village were also one of the members of the Tiger Alliance. He had seen the grand momentum of the Tiger Alliance in its prime, which was completely different from the messy situation in Taoshan now. He also heard that Ling Yun defeated thousands of fierce Bayegu cavalry and thousands of Xi soldiers in the battle of Shihe, so he became more cautious. He sent people to Huaihuang to observe, but the scout sent out was robbed by Dou Jiande. After a few temptations, Xie Wendong actually got on with Zhang Jincheng.
Dou Jiande had the idea of instigating Heishi Village, and Xie Wendong had the idea of changing the boat, and the two sides hit it off.
Xie Wendong's idea of changing things did not suddenly arise. He has been in Daqingshan for decades. It is not easy to be able to gain a foothold in the green forest and manage the Heishi Village to its current power. Laodaozi's Green Forest has a high reputation and prestige, and Black Tiger Zhang Cheng is also very young and energetic, but the combination of their son-in-law is not enough to make him stand on their side. He heard that Yi Lingyun, the new leader of the Tiger League, has been so fierce recently, because when Yi Feng was in Jiangnan, he had already defected to the second prince of Jin, Wang Yang Guang, of the court, and received strong support from Yang Guang.
There are even secret rumors that Yi Feng, the adopted son of Murong Ke, the old leader of the Tiger Alliance, was actually the illegitimate son lost to King Yang Guang of Jin in his early years. Now that the father and son recognize each other, Yang Guang gave Yi Feng an official position and recruited the Tiger Alliance. This time Yi Feng went north, he also sent several lieutenants and hundreds of confidants to go north to protect Yi Feng. It was because of these elite Jin Kings that Yi Feng seized the power of Huaihuang and defeated Baye Guren. The combination of these news made Xie Wendong completely change his mind and began to change the boat with his old knife on his back.
The people of the village don’t care about loyalty, they believe in the prey on the weak. The old sword is old, so how can they fight against Yi Feng, who is standing behind the Great Sui prince?
Only those who know the current affairs will be heroes. Good birds know how to choose trees to live in, and good ministers to choose masters to serve. There is nothing wrong with them.
Now Xie Wendong is waiting for the price and has to negotiate conditions. Even if he changes the ship, he hopes to get some benefits. As long as the price is enough, he will immediately be willing to rebel for Yi Feng in the face of the battle, stabbing a shot in the back of the Daqingshan Allied Forces, and be in Cao's camp. The price that Xie Wendong hopes is that Yi Feng can give him a batch of money and food. In addition, he also wants to be recruited. If he can set up a bridge and help him find a job, it will be enough. When he gets old, he actually thinks that one day he will return home in luxury and return to his roots.
At the foot of Taoshan, there were turbulent camps where various families were stationed, and there were tents and shacks everywhere. Lei Laohu brought a group of subordinates to return. Their horses immediately took the harvested rabbits, roe deer and other prey, which attracted many people to be envious, but no one dared to come forward. They looked at them with envy, and then went back on their own. No one noticed that Lei Laohu's team was obviously twenty or thirty more horses than when they went out. Dou Jiande and Zhang Jinsheng and his subordinates dressed as Lei Laohu's men and followed the team of the Heishi Village troops and passed the camps that the Allies were ramming.
The camp at the foot of the mountain was stinking and garbage was everywhere. Women's moans, screams or crying from time to time, and men's laughter and scolding. Some people were cooking outside and drinking in the white house. When these people arrived here, they were very free every day. They were hunting, gambling and drinking, and they would fight when they were free.
Dou Jiande looked at the camp and shook his head secretly. Zhang Jin said that the information sent back by Zhang Jin was a little unbelievable about how chaotic the Taoshan camp was. He thought it was an exaggeration, but after seeing it with his own eyes, he finally understood what kind of chaos it was. He remembered Huaihuang Army Town, although Huaihuang Army was also somewhat confused after its initial construction, compared with Taoshan, it was really a place in the sky and the earth.
Looking at these scattered people, he had only one word in his mind, "The scrambles are vulnerable."
They gradually walked into Taoshan, and the situation was slightly better. The more they went in, the more they were stationed, the more they were some of the scattered soldiers and horses. Compared to the scattered group outside, the situation inside was getting better, and at least some camps could be seen.
The camp of Heishi Village is at the foot of the innermost mountain, and camped around Taoshan with thirty-three other families. On the mountain are two teams of Taohua Village and Tieshan Village. The camp of Heishi Village is very well-established, with Muzha Camp, a not-wide fugu, and several arrow towers and a lookout. In broad daylight, there are rules in the camp, and there are no scenes of wandering around. There are guards patrolling and standing guards. Dou Jiande nodded secretly. Xie Wendong and Lei Laohu are indeed not only capable, but also capable, and they are good at taking good men.
Lei Laohu brought people into the camp, then disbanded the team, and brought Dou Jiande and Zhang Jincheng into Xie Wendong's tent.
As soon as he entered the account, Xie Wendong had already come forward and bowed to Dou Jiande and the others a little flatteringly, "I guess these two are General Dou and General Zhang, the general under the command of Alliance Leader Yi. If you have any mistakes, I hope to forgive you."
Dou Jiande, who pretended to be a bandit, bowed, "Dou Jiande has seen the village leader Xie and was invited to come. I don't know if the village leader Xie has made a decision."
Xie Wendong reached out and gave up his seat, "I wonder how the leader of Alliance Yi planned to deal with the tens of thousands of troops in Taoshan?"
Dou Jiande smiled disconcertedly and said, "Ten thousand troops? Could it be that I misread the way I just saw it. I didn't see the tens of thousands of troops mentioned by the leader of the village, but only saw a group of mobs."
Xie Wendong's face stagnated and his expression was a little stiff.
Dou Jiande seemed not to see Xie Wendong's embarrassment, and said, "A mere mob, the leader of Alliance Yi only needs to sweep away. However, since the leader of Xie, if he wants to surrender, he must show some sincerity. Otherwise, there is no way to speak out, how can we know that you are not a fraudulent surrender?"
"Of course we are sincere. General Dou said this, which really made me feel disappointed."
"Then let's prove it."
Xie Wendong was a little angry, "Our army has only 1,500 people, and there is really a huge gap in power."
"Don't worry, we won't ask you to hit the stone with eggs. We will deal with these mobs. You just need to follow our instructions and keep a close eye on the old sword handle and the black tiger at that time, so as not to let them lose their whereabouts."
“Just that needs to be?”
“Just that’s it!”
Xie Wendong was a little surprised, thinking that Yi Feng wanted him to be an internal urging attack on Taoshan and use the head of an old knife to make a letter of fame. Unexpectedly, it was just such a simple request. "I dare to ask, when will the leader of Alliance Yi take action?"
"When will the leader take action, he will make his own arrangements. You don't have to worry about it. Just keep a close eye on the target." Dou Jiande replied coldly, not revealing the military situation at the foot of Taoshan Mountain in half, Yifeng will arrive at the foot of Taoshan tomorrow. Although Ling Yun did not intend to launch a surprise attack, he did not reveal what he should not say for this.
