Xianxia version of Water Margin

…

The people who accompanied Jiang Hongfei to meet Fang Wei and Chen Houtong were Wang Lun, Sun Jing, Zhu Wu, Xu Guanzhong, Gongsun Sheng, Chai Jin, Li Ying, and Wu Yong.

Upon hearing this, these people understood that Fang La wanted to marry Jiang Hongfei.

Wang Lun and others who did not have enough money shook their heads at Jiang Hongfei almost at the same time, indicating that Jiang Hongfei must not agree to the marriage proposed by Fang La.

Marriage is something very particular, especially this cross-generational marriage between two forces.

Let’s take the relationship between Song, Liao, and Xixia as an example.

At the beginning, when the Song and Liao Dynasties signed the "Chanyuan Alliance", the Zhao and Song dynasties gave the Liao Empire a lot of extra coins every year in order to be brothers rather than brothers. The result of the empire being his younger brother.

As for the marriage between Liao and Xia, the ruler of Xixia has always married the junior of the emperor of Liao.

For example, Li Qianshun, the current leader of the Xixia Kingdom, married Yelu Nanxian, the nominal daughter of Emperor Yelu Yanxi of the Liao Kingdom.

Let’s look back at the marriage proposed by Fang La.

Jiang Hongfei and Fang La are both among the four major bandits, and their status is the same.

Moreover, Jiang Hongfei is also known as the leader of the Four Bandits, while Fang La has a tendency to slip out of the Four Bandits. In other words, in fact, Jiang Hongfei's status is actually higher than Fang La's.

In this case, if Jiang Hongfei marries Fang La's daughter, and Manichaeism is promoted, it will be equivalent to Fang La stepping on Jiang Hongfei to promote himself.

If this is the case, it is not an exaggeration to say that Fang La has no good intentions.

It is no wonder that Wang Lun and others did not agree with Jiang Hongfei's agreement to the marriage proposed by Fang La.

After Jiang Hongfei saw the reminder from Wang Lun and others, he smiled and said: "I thought that Brother Fang La had something important to discuss with me, so I left a lot of things behind and returned immediately. But now it seems that I was overly worried. It was not Brother Fang La who had something important to discuss." Discuss important matters with me, but Brother Fang La knows that I have been living a dull life recently, so he asked you two to come over and play with me. In that case, you two will stay in my Shuibo Liangshan Mountain for a few days, and I will teach Brother Chai Jin to entertain you."

After speaking, Jiang Hongfei stood up and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Fang Wei quickly looked at the "culprit" Chen Houtong.

Seeing that Jiang Hongfei was unfazed by honor and disgrace, with a thunder in his chest and a face as flat as a lake, and not as knowledgeable as the people below them, he was indeed as open-minded and broad-minded as the rumors said, Chen Houtong nodded secretly, feeling that Jiang Hongfei was a person who could achieve great things. , then bowed slowly:

"Before Fang Taigong finished speaking, my leader also has a sister who is nineteen years old. She is dignified and beautiful, powerful and good at commanding troops. If the leader wants to have good things come in pairs, he will marry her to the village leader, so that you and I can be together. My family has become in-laws, I wonder what the village’s plan is?”

Chen Houtong had already thought about it. If Jiang Hongfei asked him why he didn't directly say that Fang La was planning to marry his sister and daughter to him, he would say that it was because he was entrusted by Fang La to marry Fang La's two children. If a close relative marries Jiang Hongfei, he must first test whether Jiang Hongfei is worth Fang La's desperate effort?

Who would have thought that Jiang Hongfei didn't dwell on this matter at all. Instead, after listening to Chen Houtong's addition, he slowly sat back in his seat.

Jiang Hongfei is so easy to talk to, not because Jiang Hongfei is lustful and misses Fang Jinzhi and Fang Baihua, but because if Fang La marries his sister and daughter to Jiang Hongfei at the same time, then Fang La will not be considered rude. On the contrary, Fang La has fully considered Jiang Hongfei. Not only was he not suitable to be his son-in-law, but he was also not suitable to be his sister-in-law. Only by marrying his daughter and sister to Jiang Hongfei at the same time could Jiang Hongfei and everyone in the world feel that he did not despise Jiang Hongfei and that he sincerely wanted to marry Jiang Hongfei. He showed his sincerity in cooperating with Jiang Hongfei.

In other words, with this prerequisite, Jiang Hongfei can have a good talk with the envoy sent by Fang La.

Losing your temper and showing off to the two people below you, Fang Wei and Chen Houtong?

What a great prospect.

He who is slow to anger is wise; he who is quick-tempered is foolish.

But if he really gets angry, it will definitely be the wrath of the emperor, with millions of corpses floating around and blood flowing for thousands of miles. The anger of commoner, five steps of bloodshed, the world is plain.

After sitting down, Jiang Hongfei declined and said: "I don't deserve any reward for no merit, and I haven't done anything to help brother Fang La. How can I accept Miss Jinzhi and Miss Baihua?"

Seeing Jiang Hongfei reveal the names of Fang La's daughter and sister in one breath, Fang Wei and Chen Houtong knew that Jiang Hongfei must have a full understanding of Fang La's family, and even their Manichean religion.

Thinking again, Jiang Hongfei had already guessed that the Manichaeans were preparing to revolt.

This further proves that Jiang Hongfei knows very well about their Manichaeism.

Faced with Jiang Hongfei like this, it would be pointless for Fang Wei and Chen Houtong to engage in false pretenses. It would also make Jiang Hongfei look down upon them, and even look down upon the Manichaeans behind them.

So Chen Houtong said: "Today the taxes and servitude are heavy, the officials are plundering and extorting, and there is not enough supply of mulberry trees. The people in the southeast of our country depend on lacquer, bamboo and fungus, and they have all been taken away without leaving any trace. The people are born, and the officials are established. It is supposed to support the people, but it is so cruel! How can the hearts of heaven and man be free of resentment and anger? Moreover, the corrupt officials have squandered and wasted money, and bribed the two captives in the west and north every year, all of which are the blood of my innocent sons in the southeast! I am the only one in the southeast! The people are active all year round, but their wives are cold and exhausted, and they cannot get enough food for one day. As a result, the people in the southeast are all confused, which is the opportunity to cause trouble. Therefore, the leader of my family has decided to start an attack in the near future."

Jiang Hongfei listened quietly without making any comments.

——Chen Houtong hasn’t said why Fang La sent them here to find Jiang Hongfei. It’s impossible that he really just sent two women to Jiang Hongfei, right?

Seeing that Jiang Hongfei didn't speak, Chen Houtong could only continue to say: "Now my teaching is ready for everything. We only need some soldiers and horses. I hope the leader of the village can provide some support. Furthermore, my leader hopes that you, my family, and the King of Jin will be able to teach you." The four families of the King of Chu and the King of Chu revolted together to carve up Zhao and Song. However, my family has no friendship with his family. I hope that the leader of the village can mediate so that our four families will no longer act alone, but will echo each other, serve as reinforcements for each other, and communicate with each other. …”

Jiang Hongfei knew very well that in addition to Fang La not having much friendship with Tian Hu and Wang Qing, Tian Hu and Wang Qing could not be persuaded, but also because Tian Hu and Wang Qing now both had a large territory and hundreds of thousands of troops, but Fang La had already They are about to fall out of the ranks of the Four Bandits. Therefore, if Fang La approaches Tian Hu and Wang Qing to discuss a joint uprising, Tian Hu and Wang Qing will probably not go against Fang La.

There is no way, the world is so snobbish. Although Fang La has the greatest potential, he has not revolted yet. He currently does not even have 10,000 troops. With the two big bosses Tian Hu and Wang Qing, it is possible for him to speak now. It's almost like farting.

But Jiang Hongfei is different. Not to mention that Jiang Hongfei's strength is not inferior to that of Tian Hu and Wang Qing. With just refined salt, Jiang Hongfei can make Tian Hu and Wang Qing obedient who have not yet accomplished anything.

In Water Margin, Fang La only revolted after Tian Hu and Wang Qing were wiped out, and Tian Hu, who gathered momentum slightly faster, revolted before Wang Qing. There was no connection between the three families, so the three of them were killed by Zhao Song. The imperial court and Song Jiang were wiped out one by one.

Judging from history, Fang La should have rebelled first, followed by Tian Hu and Wang Qing. The three families did not respond, which led to the failure of Fang La's uprising.

Now that Jiang Hongfei appears in this world, this world has long been messed up by Jiang Hongfei.

As a result, whether it is Water Margin or history, it can only be used as a reference and cannot be fully trusted.

Under such circumstances, if Shuibo Liangshan, Longhushan, Fangshan and Manichaeism really took action together, then it is really possible that the Zhao and Song Dynasties would perish if they could not survive the Jin people's march south.

However, when Wu Yong offered this plan before, he had already said that for Shuibo Liangshan, the simultaneous uprising of four families would be very detrimental to Shuibo Liangshan. Jiang Hongfei would definitely not choose this path.

But it must be said again that as long as Jiang Hongfei and Jiang Hongfei's people plan well and the four major bandits join forces, they really can take this opportunity to overthrow the Zhao Song Dynasty directly, carve up the Zhao Song Dynasty first, and then seek unification.

Jiang Hongfei patiently listened to Chen Guantong's proposal and said calmly: "Your family wants a lot of things and asks for a lot, but you can't give me anything or any help, and Miss Jinzhi and Baihua The young lady is currently just two commoner women. I can have as many women as I want. They can only make the relationship between you and my family go further, but they will stop there. If your family wants my family to help, should you come up with something? Sincerely?"

Fang Wei and Chen Houtong understood that Jiang Hongfei was telling the truth.

Today, Fang Jinzhi is not Princess Jinzhi, and Fang Baihua is not Fang La's female marshal. They are just two common women. No matter how beautiful they are, their value is limited.

But what Fang La wanted to get from Jiang Hongfei was real support.

Bingjia and Lingma raised the army together, and also helped Fang La to persuade Tian Hu and Wang Qing to raise the army together.

None of these things can be compared between two civilian women.

Fang Wei said: "If my family's uprising is successful, I can also share the pressure of Zhao and Song for Guizhai and teach Guizhai to let go and develop."

Sun Jing said with a smile: "After your family's uprising, my family will look at the situation. If there is an opportunity, they will uprising. If there is no chance, they will just sit back and wait for the situation to develop. Isn't it a sure win?"

Chen Houtong said: "During the Warring States Period, the seven kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, Han, Qin, Qi, Chu, and Yan were in opposition and coexisted. They all wanted to destroy the six kingdoms and unify the world. Qin was strong and the six kingdoms were weak. If the six kingdoms adopted Su Qin's The strategy of joining forces was to first destroy the strongest Qin, and the six countries would all have the opportunity to become the common masters of the world. However, the six countries joined forces to attack Qin and agreed to Qin's request for peace just for some vested interests. Later, Qin Implementing the policy of reform and strengthening the army, the strength increased rapidly, and he fell into Qin's plan to destroy Qi first. When the remaining five countries felt that they were in danger, they united to fight against Qin. They were no longer Qin's opponents, and were eventually destroyed one by one by Qin."

After a pause, Chen Houtong continued: "During the Three Kingdoms period, among the three parties of Wei, Shu and Wu, Wei was the most powerful. Under the mediation of Zhuge Liang and Lu Su, they reached a strategic cooperation with the Sun-Liu Alliance, and the two sides jointly defeated Cao Wei in Chibi. Something happened later that led to the disintegration of the Sun-Liu alliance, that is, the state of Wu killed Guan Yu. In order to avenge Guan Yu, Liu Bei launched a war against the state of Wu. In the end, he was defeated miserably. Both sides were seriously injured, so that they were later annexed by Cao Wei. "

Speaking of this, Chen Houtong looked at Jiang Hongfei and said: "The leader of the village, Yingmo Rui, has exhausted all his strategies in a few years. An Neng didn't know that he had to unite the weak first to destroy the strong. Only then will the weak have a chance, because the final goal of the strong is determined." The goal is to eliminate the weak. The weak will not cooperate and fight with each other. Then in the end, when the strong attack, it will be too late to unite and fight. Hezong needs unity, and the company needs to develop. How can we care about it?"

It has to be said that Manichaeism came prepared and sent the right people.

After Chen Houtong finished speaking, Wang Lun and others fell silent. Obviously, they were persuaded by Chen Houtong...

Gao Liang, who was originally standing in the corner to protect Jiang Hongfei, heard this and couldn't stand it anymore, and then quietly retreated.

Gao Liang saw that the marriage between Jiang Hongfei and Fang La was unstoppable.

Moreover, as one of the people closest to Jiang Hongfei, Gao Liang knew that Jiang Hongfei sent Li Jun to manage Liuqiu a long time ago in order to obtain benefits from Southeast.

And if Jiang Hongfei and Fang La marry, Jiang Hongfei will be able to legitimately receive Fang La's inheritance in the future when Fang La's uprising fails.

Therefore, Jiang Hongfei really has no reason not to marry Fang La.

Marriages are usually made with the head wife, especially between two forces of equal strength.

The key point is that Fang E and Chen Houtong said when they came that Jiang Hongfei was not married and Fang La wanted to marry Jiang Hongfei. In other words, Fang La came here to marry his daughter or sister to Jiang Hongfei.

Therefore, either Fang Jinzhi or Fang Baihua, one of them must become Jiang Hongfei's official wife.

As a result, Gao Liang was embarrassed.

Gao Liang stayed by Jiang Hongfei's side for six or seven years for the sake of being the head wife, forcing her to go from a seventeen-year-old girl to an older leftover woman who is now twenty-three or four-years-old.

If this happens, even Gao Liang cannot get the position of Jiang Hongfei's wife, then Gao Liang can only become a laughing stock.

How can Gaoliang continue to stay in Shuibo Liangshan?

Moreover, Gao Liang knew very well that Jiang Hongfei was a tycoon, a tycoon who aspired to the world. Such a person, let alone not married yet, would divorce his wife and marry a woman who would be more beneficial to his development and growth. As a wife.

Didn't you see, Liu Xiu, the chosen son, gave up his favorite woman Yin Lihua in order to grow and prosper, and chose Guo Shengtong, the daughter of Guo Chang, the Marquis of Yang'an, and the niece of King Zhending Liu Yang, as his wife.

Such examples abound throughout history.

Gao Liang really didn't think Jiang Hongfei would give up his marriage to Fang La for her.

Gao Liang does not hate Jiang Hongfei, because Gao Liang knows that the path Jiang Hongfei is taking has been the same path in Huashan since ancient times. How can he not try his best?

Gao Liang only hates that she is too stubborn. If she had resigned from Jiang Hongfei and given birth to one or two sons for Jiang Hongfei, she could at least be Jiang Hongfei's wife for a few years. In the future, she might not be able to be like Yin Lihua. When Jiang Hongfei succeeds, she can become Jiang Hongfei's wife again. Jiang Hongfei's first wife.

Now, Gao Liang only feels that she has put herself on the fire and is not sure what her six or seven years of youth and hard work will bring in the end.
