Xianxia version of Water Margin

…

Regarding Li Qing, a guy who was worse than a beast, Jiang Hongfei had no idea before. He really couldn't say whether he hated him or not. The same was true for the jailers under Li Qing who worked for him.

According to Jiang Hongfei's past habits, after Li Qing and others were arrested, they screened which ones deserved to be killed and had their homes confiscated. The remaining ones who were not guilty enough to die were released directly, and the mahjong monks were killed with a sharp knife. After finishing this small matter here on the island, we can go back and see how Du Bo and Sun Li are doing against the Dengzhou navy.

However, after personally rescuing Wang Jin with An Daoquan and Mou Jie, even Jiang Hongfei felt that it was really easy for them to deal with these bastards in this way.

Jiang Hongfei thought for a moment, and then asked people to put Li Qing and all the damned people in cells. Anyone who wanted revenge would be punished. At the same time, he sent people to ransack Li Qing's and his family's home.

What Jiang Hongfei didn't expect was that all the "Eight Immortals", including Xu Ning, including Sun Ding, and even Mou Jie, would choose to enter the cell to seek revenge, let alone other prisoners.

What was both unexpected and reasonable was that Miss He Xiugu, Miss He, followed a group of prisoners to seek revenge and ran out of the cell without even holding on for half an hour.

Just looking at He Xiugu's pretty face turned pale with fright, it is not difficult to imagine how horrific what was going on in that cell.

However, Li Qing and his jailers really deserved their punishment.

Jiang Hongfei didn't feel unbearable, he could only say that the cycle of cause and effect meant retribution would be unpleasant.

Originally, Jiang Hongfei thought that giving these prisoners one day would be enough for them to vent their anger.

Unexpectedly, Xu Ning and Sun Ding, who were covered in blood that night, came to beg Jiang Hongfei to give them three more days to let go of their endless hatred.

Xu Ning and Sun Ding also expressed on behalf of all the prisoners that as long as Jiang Hongfei gave them three more days, they would be willing to be Jiang Hongfei's slaves and maids, willing to be Jiang Hongfei's eagles and dogs, serve Jiang Hongfei with the power of dogs and horses, be loyal and never betray .

Ordinarily, Jiang Hongfei should not agree to Xu Ning and Sun Ding's request. After all, the Liangshan Army is still fighting on the other side of the sea, and they don't know what the situation is like there now.

But looking at the eyes of Xu Ning and Sun Ding that were blinded by hatred, Jiang Hongfei knew that if he didn't agree to them, this unforgettable hatred would linger forever, making it impossible for them to get out of this hatred. Start their own new life from scratch.

So Jiang Hongfei agreed to their request.

Later, Jiang Hongfei sent Ma Ling across the sea to find out how the Beiwei Army, Ma Ba Army, Tabai Army and Po Enemy Army were doing against the Dengzhou Navy.

In order for Ma Ling to go back quickly, Jiang Hongfei even lent his handkerchief to Ma Ling.

Ma Ling is indeed a great horse. He didn't arrive for half a day before he came back and reported to Jiang Hongfei:

"The Beiwei Army's attack on Ping Haijun went very smoothly. The course of the battle was completely consistent with our pre-war plans. Leaders Du and Feng took advantage of Ping Haijun's unpreparedness and attacked two military camps of Ping Haijun at night. The battle was completed in one battle. After defeating the Ping Navy, 80% of the Song army, starting from Hu Yanqing, the commander of the Ping Navy, were captured, and the other 20% were either killed or escaped by jumping into the water. There was nothing to worry about. In this battle, two thousand ships and two ships were captured behind the Wei army. , six ships with a thousand materials, thirty-three small boats of various types, more than a thousand soldiers and armor, and other items are still being counted."

After a pause, Ma Ling reported again: "The Ma Eighth Army also went smoothly against the Cheng Haijun, but unlike the Wei army that stopped after defeating the Ping Haijun, the Ma Eighth Army detached a partial division after defeating the Cheng Haijun. To reinforce our personal guards, seeing that our personal guards did not attack Daoyu Village, leader Wei He led a partial division of the Ma Eighth Army to defeat Daoyu Village."

Before coming to Dengzhou, Jiang Hongfei sent someone to thoroughly investigate the deployment of troops in Dengzhou.

Dengzhou is surrounded by the sea on three sides, so it is basically impossible for a land battle to occur. Therefore, there is only one battalion of the army in Dengzhou City. In addition, there are only two naval forces, the Ping Navy and the Cheng Navy.

These two naval forces are not in one place, but are stationed in two camps. Each navy has two commanders. One command has a full strength of 500 people. However, everyone knows the situation of the Song Army. The pay problem is extremely serious. How can it be possible to fully staff them? Therefore, both the Ping Navy and the Cheng Navy have less than a thousand people, and half of them are sailors, that is, people who operate the ships. The number of soldiers can be imagined.

In addition, there is also a Xiang army in Dengzhou, the Swordfish Village, whose duty is to assist in the defense of Salmon Island. The number is only about 300 people, and the largest warship is only 400 materials. The others are mostly swordfish boats, which cannot capsize much waves!

According to the battle plan made in advance, Jiang Hongfei should have led the Guards to destroy the saury fish village. However, Jiang Hongfei planned to wipe out the saury fish village when he returned from Salmon Island.

Unexpectedly, the plan did not change quickly. Because these prisoners wanted revenge, Jiang Hongfei had to spend four days on Salmon Island.

Fortunately, after Sun Li defeated Cheng Haijun, he sent a branch to Daoyu Village. Otherwise, when Jiang Hongfei returned, Daoyu Village might not be ready.

Ma Ling continued to report: "The Ma Eighth Army seized one large ship with 3,600 materials, five passenger boats with 2,000 materials, nine sea-going ships with 1,000 materials, and another 159 small boats of various types, including There are more than 110 swordfish boats with only a few people aboard, more than a thousand soldiers and armor, and other items are still being counted..."

The successful elimination of the Dengzhou navy made Jiang Hongfei feel relieved, and he no longer cared about the prisoners wasting a few more days on Salmon Island.

After the report, Ma Ling took the initiative to speak again: "Brother, several leaders suggested taking down Dengzhou City together. He said that although Dengzhou City is not as rich as Daming Mansion and Kaide Mansion, it is not even as rich as Daming Mansion and Kaide Mansion. Gaotang Prefecture is rich, but grasshopper legs are also meat. The key point is that there is only one battalion left in Dengzhou City, and everyone can drown them if they urinate, so if you don't fight, it will be in vain."

Jiang Hongfei knew that these leaders, especially those who had not achieved any meritorious service in this battle, wanted to gain another opportunity to make meritorious deeds.

But Jiang Hongfei didn't let them get what they wanted. Instead, he shook his head directly: "They underestimated Dengzhou City too much."

Ma Ling was puzzled, and so were everyone else around Jiang Hongfei. Even Liu Huiniang, an extremely smart woman, looked surprised.

You know, although Dengzhou City was once a famous seaside town in the north of the Zhao and Song Dynasties.

But many years ago, Dengzhou City was deprived of its maritime trade function, and its maritime trade attributes were gradually replaced by Mingzhou in the south. Therefore, Dengzhou City gradually declined.

OK.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

Now, the Zhao and Song dynasties are uniting with the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty and regain the sixteen states of Yanyun.

Zhao Ji specifically ordered the development of Dengzhou City, so that the Jin people who had just entered the realm of the Zhao and Song Dynasties could not underestimate the national power of the Zhao and Song Dynasty, and allowed Dengzhou City to regain some vitality.

But even so, it cannot change the indisputable fact that Dengzhou City is a small town with neither strong military power nor strong city defense. Why did Jiang Hongfei say so little?

Jiang Hongfei did not explain to everyone that the current governor of Dengzhou is Zongze. Although this old man is almost sixty years old, his combat effectiveness is still very good. The key is that he has not been afraid to fight to the death, and he has defeated Dengzhou under his rule. city? If you don't have the consciousness to lose two front teeth, you don't have to think about it, even if there is only one battalion of defenders in Dengzhou City.

In fact, Jiang Hongfei also thought about taking down Dengzhou City.

But when Jiang Hongfei saw the words "Dengzhou Zhizhou Zongze" from the intelligence department, Jiang Hongfei completely gave up this idea.

This is not to say that Jiang Hongfei is afraid of Zongze.

No matter how powerful Zongze is, he only has 500 men and a city of people in his hands now, which is incomparable to the military power Jiang Hongfei has.

The reason why Jiang Hongfei is unwilling to provoke Zongze must be, first of all, because Zongze must be extremely difficult to deal with. If he hits Dengzhou City, there is no telling what kind of accident he can cause, which is really difficult to control; secondly, Jiang Hongfei is not willing to Provoke this old anti-gold hero, especially if there is no conflict of interest; again, Shuibo Liangshan, which has just conquered Daming Prefecture, Kaide Prefecture and Gaotang Prefecture, is currently very wealthy, and there is no need to create extra trouble to attack Dengzhou City. A small town that is not very wealthy.

In addition, Jiang Hongfei was a little confused. After he captured Zongze, should he kill him, kill him, or kill him?

Thinking of such a respected hero dying in his own hands, Jiang Hongfei felt a little sick in his heart.

Therefore, let’s leave this problem for later. What if Jiang Hongfei doesn’t have to face Zongze directly in the future?

After the prisoners on Salmon Island had finished taking revenge on Li Qing and his jailers, Jiang Hongfei returned to Qingzhou with his own people, prisoners and trophies.

Jiang Hongfei left all the ships captured in Dengzhou in Qingzhou, handed them over to the Third and Fourth Water Armies, and then returned to Shuibo Liangshan...

…

What a coincidence.

Jiang Hongfei and the others had just returned to Shuibo Liangshan. Over there, not only Tang Long, Yan Qing, Shi Jin, Deng Fei and others escorted Xu Ning's family members back to Shuibo Liangshan, but the people Jiang Hongfei sent to get rid of Chen Dian were also escorted back to Shuibo Liangshan. heads were brought back.

In addition, Shi Qian also led the secret special battalion to return with the Yan Lingquan Golden Armor.

——Actually, what Shi Qian brought back to Jiang Hongfei was not only the Yan Fei Circle Golden Armor, but also many other things. According to Shi Qian's words: "I went to the Secret Special Forces Camp to help Gao Qiu move to another house. I also visited the homes of Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng, and Yang Jian. Finally, I went to the palace. Let’s bring some gifts to my brother.”

Shi Qian said it easily, and Jiang Hongfei didn't pay much attention. In addition, Xu Ning happened to enter the Juyi Hall, so Jiang Hongfei put the Qiankun bag away.

Jiang Hongfei asked Shi Qian to return the Yanling Circle Golden Armor to Xu Ning.

Jiang Hongfei said: "The treasure belongs to its original owner. Dear brother, let's take a look. Is there any damage?"

What Jiang Hongfei didn't expect was that after Xu Ning took the Yan Fei Quan Golden Armor, he stroked it for a while, then held up the Yan Fei Quan Golden Armor, walked straight to Jiang Hongfei, and offered it with both hands:

"My brother saved my little brother's life, helped me take revenge, and took all my family members to take care of me. I have nothing to repay, so I am willing to dedicate this treasure armor to my brother!"

Jiang Hongfei flatly refused: "Hey~! What are you talking about, my dear brother? A gentleman will not take away someone's love, and this treasure armor is a family heirloom from four generations of my dear brother. How can I accept it? My dear brother, take it back quickly. Don’t destroy the loyalty between you and me as brothers!”

Xu Ning didn't want to, but insisted: "Brother, please listen to me. After this catastrophe, I have a profound enlightenment. People can't be too attached to foreign objects. If I don't regard this treasure armor as life and repeatedly offend the powerful for it, how can I Is there a disaster on Salmon Island? On Salmon Island, I have thought it all clearly. I must not have any hobbies in life. For example, if I fall in love with this armor, my body will also be lost. But I can only laugh. Love is the pout that ties the donkey to the horse. It has become my weakness. If I don’t let it go, I will never be able to achieve anything.”

Xu Ning added: "Wealth that is not worthy of one's position will lead to suffering; one's virtue that is not worthy of one's wealth will lead to disaster; one who does not deserve wealth will suffer losses. This precious armor is invulnerable to swords, guns and arrows, and is invulnerable to water, fire, wind and thunder. There is nothing wrong in the world." It is so light and stable on the body that even the attack of a top-notch Qi practitioner cannot break through its defense. It is a rare treasure in the world, but how can I, a little military general, be worthy of it?"

Then, Xu Ning said with compliments: "My brother is both civil and military, and has lofty ambitions. He can conquer the world if he advances, and he can be king if he retreats. He is a great man like the sky. I am worthy of holding any treasure, let alone a mere armor?" Moreover, my brother's safety is related to the success or failure of Shuibo Liangshan, the safety of millions of people in Shuibo Liangshan, and the future of tens of millions of people under my rule in Shuibo Liangshan. How can I not be protected by this precious armor?"

Hearing what Xu Ning said, Jiang Hongfei really didn't know how to respond to Xu Ning's words.

At this time, Sun Jing advised: "What Coach Xu said is true, this treasure armor will be a disaster in his hands. Don't you hear that "every man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying the jade", and my brother is the soul of Shuibo Liangshan. , no one can replace him. And the world is about to be in chaos, so my brother will inevitably go to the battlefield. On that battlefield, swords and guns have no eyes, and arrows are ruthless. Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, lost his army. My brother must be on guard. "

I don't know why, but every time Sun Jing gives an example, Jiang Hongfei can't help but think about it.

For example, Sun Jing now cited Sun Ce as an example.

The villain Sun Shiwan immediately flashed through Jiang Hongfei's mind.

Sun Shiwan was able to have the power of Soochow, wasn't it because his brother Sun Ce licked the blood from his knife and killed him?

Before he died, Sun Ce did not leave his inheritance to his biological son, but gave it to his biological brother.

How many people have been able to do this throughout the ages?

Zhao Kuangyin passes the throne to Zhao Guangyi?

The God of Gaolianghe should be grateful to his axe, not his elder brother, for being able to inherit the throne.

Let’s talk about Sun Shiwan.

After your brother died, he left you so much inheritance, the land of five counties in Jiangdong!

And how do you treat your brother?

When you become emperor, you only give your brother the title of Prince Huan of Changsha.

Even if you don't posthumously make your brother an emperor, what the hell are you doing by giving your brother the posthumous title of "King Huan"?

Isn't Emperor Huan of Han the main culprit for the decline of the Han Dynasty?

By doing this, aren't you just criticizing your brother?

Then there is your brother's son, your nephew Sun Shao. It's okay if you don't give him the inheritance of Sun Ce's Changsha Huan Wang. You even have to inherit from your nephew the Wuhou who was conferred by the Han Dynasty to your brother. Grab it from your hand and seal it to your own grandson.

With the example of Sun Shiwan treating Sun Ce "kindly", how could Jiang Hongfei dare not cherish his own life?

"Damn it, my sons are still young, and everyone else is unreliable. I have to cherish my life!"

Therefore, it would be superfluous for others to persuade Jiang Hongfei to accept the Yan Feiquan Golden Armor. It was enough for Sun Jing to persuade Jiang Hongfei alone.

Finally, under the persuasion of everyone, Jiang Hongfei accepted the Yan Fei Circle Golden Armor, and then gave Xu Ning the armor he usually wore, which was made of hundred-refined snowflakes and iron.

After the matter was over, Jiang Hongfei was not polite to Xu Ning, but asked Xu Ning directly: "Xiandi, can you break Hu Yanzhuo's chain horse?"
