In Tangzhou City, Zhang Jun from the government office threw the letter in his hand on the ground and said sternly: "Yang Tiansong, you are insulting me like this! One day when I catch him, I will make him unable to live or die!"

The soldiers on one side picked up the letter and did not dare to speak.

Yang Tiansong ran extremely fast and was shrewd, but Xie Linong never caught up. After Xie Linong occupied Tangzhou, Yang Tiansong did not go south to join Yang Jin, but turned eastward and ran into Tongbai Mountain. There was originally a chaotic man in the mountains.

The army leader Liu Man had a similar spirit with Yang Tiansong and led him up the mountain to become the leader with him.

The two men were already stationed at Xinyang Army, and Xie Linong did not dare to pursue them. He wrote to Wang Xiaolie, but Wang Xiaolie just asked him to wait.

At this time, the commander of the Xinyang Army was Zhao Shifu, who belonged to the Zhao and Song clan. Although he was a side branch, he could not be ignored. Wang Xiaolie, who had no officials in the nearby state army, occupied it. If there were officials, it would be difficult to attack.

At this moment, a soldier came in, crossed his hands and said: "General, the people who went to Xinyang Army are back."

Calling people in, Zhang Jun said: "You brought a souvenir from Zhizhou. How did Zhao Zhijun of Xinyang reply?"

The soldier said: "Zhao Zhijun said that he will send troops to suppress the bandits and will not let us enter the Xinyang Army."

After hearing this, Zhang Jun's face was so gloomy that he could shed water. He said bitterly: "You think it's so easy to suppress thieves? I was watching in Tangzhou, how could this Zhao Zhijun send troops to suppress thieves!"

In the mountain stronghold of Tongbai Mountain, Yang Tiansong raised his bowl and said to Liu Man: "Brother, after staying here for these days, I haven't seen soldiers and horses from Ruzhou chasing me. I think they want to avoid him because they take my brother's reputation into consideration."

Liu Man said with a smile: "Our brothers, there is no need to say these polite words. We are now in the Xinyang Army. We have military commanders and soldiers here. Why should you come to Ruzhou? You can live here in peace and enjoy your life."

Yang Tiansong said: "Although my brother's place is remote, the terrain is steep. It's not easy to catch up."

After drinking two bowls of wine, Yang Tiansong said: "We have two treasures in the army. One is a military advisor who is a scholar in Baofeng County. He fled to the mountains because of hiding gold. Who would have thought that after leaving the mountains, most of the fields at home would be occupied by Wang Xiao?

Lie sent people to occupy it. Wang Xiaolie wanted to give him money, but the man refused. He scolded him outside the Baofeng County government office for several months. I conquered Baofeng County and took him with me in the army. I didn't want this man to scold him anymore.

Wang Xiaolie has been with us for several months, but he refuses to join our army. Although he refuses, he is able to work safely in the army, and his documents are all in order."

After hearing this, Liu Man laughed and said: "There is such a wonderful person in the world! Brothers, be careful not to let him cause trouble!"

Yang Tiansong curled his lips disdainfully: "I'm so careful, what trouble can happen?"

The two of them drank a bowl of wine, and Yang Tiansong said again: "There is another wonderful person, a woman. She is very charming, does my brother like her?"

Liu Mandao: "Who doesn't like money and women? But since we are brothers, I don't want to be loved by others."

Yang Tiansong smiled and said: "Brothers are like brothers and sisters, women are like clothes. Brother, just take it. And this woman is extraordinary, her identity has a lot of history. Just like this, it is particularly interesting."

Seeing Liu Man's questioning look, Yang Tiansong said: "Her son is Zhang Jun, who is currently stationed in Tangzhou. Tell me, that guy is watching helplessly in Tangzhou, and we are sleeping with his mother here. Does it make sense?"

"Interesting, interesting." Liu Man couldn't help laughing after hearing this. "But with such a big son, isn't this woman getting old?"

Yang Tiansong said: "My brother doesn't know that there is a kind of woman in this world, but she doesn't look older. She looks like a 28-year-old woman. She has experienced many things in the world and understands everything. There are endless wonderful things in it!"

After hearing this, Liu Man felt itchy in his heart. While drinking with Yang Tiansong, he didn't know what he was thinking.

In the Xiangyang government office, Wang Xiaolie put down the letter in his hand and sighed: "I don't know what Zhao Zhijun is thinking! I want to send troops to exterminate Yang Tiansong's thieves, but he says he will do it himself and won't allow us to enter!"

Xie Linong said: "How many soldiers are there in the Xinyang Army? Yang Tiansong plus Liu Man, there are two to three hundred people. What can Zhao Zhijun use to suppress them?"

Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "I asked you to come to Xiangyang and Zhang Jun to guard Tangzhou, just to suppress the bandits. Zhang Jun's mother has been kidnapped by Yang Tiansong for many days, how can Zhang Jun not be impatient? How could he think that Zhao Zhijun would be in the way?

, things will become difficult to handle.”

Niu Gao said: "It's better to ignore Zhao Zhijun and send troops directly!"

Wang Xiaolie said: "Zhao Zhijun is appointed by the imperial court and belongs to the clan, so it is not easy to do this. Forget it, let's wait for now. I will write a letter to Zhang Jun later and ask him to wait a little while I think of another way.

"

After everyone heard this, they couldn't say anything else.

Last year, the Jin army attacked Jingxi Road, and the southernmost point was Xiangyang Prefecture. Except for the few states occupied by Wang Xiaolie, the armies in other states had many court officials and could not act arbitrarily. Wang Xiaolie's plan was to run the five state armies first.

Lay the foundation. Even if the court sends officials later, Wang Xiaolie will not let him go. The only trouble now is Yang Tiansong. He can ignore the affairs of his subordinates, but Zhang Jun's mother cannot ignore it.

After thinking for a while, he couldn't come up with any solution. Wang Xiaolie said: "Let's put it down now. Let's celebrate the New Year happily! We arrived in Ruzhou too late this year, so there is no harvest, so we can only keep it simple."

Chen Yuyi, who was sitting below, said: "I saw that many gifts were given out before the year, which is not simple."

Wang Xiaolie said with a smile: "It's just a few kilograms of meat and two chickens, which ordinary people would buy during the Chinese New Year. Speaking of which, you are with me and only have these things. I am really wronged. And after the past two years, I have been wronged."

, the days will get better in the future.”

Chen Yuyi sighed: "I don't know from observation, but the people who fled from the north to the south have a hard time without food every day. After observing Xiangyang, I see that the people in the city are well-fed and well-clothed, unlike the previous days."

Wang Xiaoxing said: "Xiangyang is originally a land of fish and rice. The land is fertile and the population is small. The people should live a good life. When the Jin soldiers came south, they caused so many crimes! Dengzhou and Xiangyang Prefecture alone.

You can resettle many people, so why bother fleeing south!"

Chen Yuyi shook his head. After thinking for a while, he said: "Observation, to be honest, who can guarantee that the Jin Army will not come to Xiangyang again?"

Wang Xiaolie looked at Chen Yuyi and said word by word: "I can! As long as I am here, I will keep Xiangyang Mansion safe and sound!"

Chen Yuyi and Wang Xiaolie looked at each other. After a while, they just shook their heads slightly.

Wang Xiaolie said: "I know many people don't believe it. So what? As long as we have a strong army in our hands and the Jin army dare not look at this place, people will believe it after a few battles! There are several states with fertile land. Self-protection should be

There’s more than enough!”

Chen Yuyi said: "With the size of the world and the strength of the imperial army, in front of the Jin soldiers, they are like chickens and dogs. How can you be confident by observing?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "The world is vast, but is the Imperial Army very strong? The west cannot defeat the Dangxiang, and the north cannot defeat the Khitan. What's so surprising about being beaten to pieces by the emerging Jin army? If you want to defeat the Jin army,

You must first know that the previous army was not strong!"

Chen Yuyi shook his head gently and said nothing more, but his eyes were a little confused.

The current Wang Xiaolie is indeed very arrogant. He originally thought that being able to obtain Dengzhou would be a trivial matter, enough to support his future development. Now Tangzhou and Xiangyang Prefecture are both fertile and prosperous places.
