Xianxia version of Water Margin

…

Jiang Hongfei did not come alone. In addition to a large number of personal guards, he was accompanied by examiners such as Xu Guanzhong, Pei Xuan, Lu Junyi, Chai Jin, and people he captured and exchanged from the Zhao and Song Dynasties.

That is, Li Gang, Chen Tao, Zhao Ding, Chen Kangbo, Zhan Du, Wang Zhen, Liu Qi, Wen Huanzhang, Han Shizhong, Jieyuan, Wang Sheng, Hu Yantong, Yue Chao, Wu Jie, Wu Lin, Yang Zheng, Guo Hao, Zhao Li, Li Yanxian (Jiang Hongfei changed his name for Li Xiaozhong), Wang Yan, Zhao Yan, Qiu Chou, Chen Gongfu, etc...

It is worth mentioning that some of the people captured by Jiang Hongfei and exchanged from the Zhao and Song Dynasties had not yet surrendered to Jiang Hongfei.

But Jiang Hongfei was not in a hurry. He felt that people like Li Gang and others with great wisdom would definitely make wise choices after they understood what they wanted to do.

Of course, if Li Gang and the others were really stubborn to the point of being unseemly, Jiang Hongfei wouldn't mind helping them show their dignity.

After all, talents are valuable, but only those who work for themselves, otherwise they are enemies, and being kind to your enemies is being cruel to yourself.

Seeing that thousands of people came to participate in the martial arts competition held in Shuibo Liangshan, Li Gang and other people from the Zhao and Song Dynasties felt very complicated!

You know, Jiang Hongfei is only in Shandong and Hebei, but there are so many martial arts students coming to participate in martial arts competitions. This is enough to show that a large number of people support Jiang Hongfei's rule.

Jiang Hongfei had no airs at all. He had a warm smile on his face, and his eyes showed concern and expectation for every martial arts student. When he met the martial arts students he knew, he even took the initiative to communicate cordially and asked them if they had got good rankings. Be sure, and even jokingly praise a certain military student for his prowess and the momentum to become a general. When he sees a certain military student who is a little nervous, he will gently pat the other person's shoulder and support him with encouraging eyes and words. The voice is gentle and firm, as if the spring breeze is blowing on the face, making people feel warm.

When passing by Niugao, Jiang Hongfei said with a smile: "What a black boy, he can compete with my brother Li Kui."

Li Kui shouted from the side: "I, Tieniu, are much more handsome than this black boy."

Niu Gao refused to admit defeat and said, "I still think I'm much more handsome than a big black guy like you."

Everyone laughed.

When passing by Yue Fei, Lu Junyi said to Jiang Hongfei: "Brother, this is my junior brother Yue Fei and Yue Pengju, a close disciple of my master Zhou Tong. He is a rare person in the world, unparalleled, versatile in both civil and military affairs. He is a close disciple of my master Zhou Tong. He is my pillar in Shuibo Liangshan, and I hope my brother will promote him."

Lu Junyi believed that ordinary people could not hide private matters even if they happened under the covers. Besides, it was no secret that he, Lin Chong, Yue Fei and others were brothers. How could no one know about it? Besides, he had people prepare many banquets for Yue Fei and others. How could he hide this from everyone?

Yue Fei was naturally grateful from the bottom of his heart to Lu Junyi for fighting for him.

But Lu Junyi, with his low EQ, actually fought for him in front of so many martial arts students, which really made Yue Fei worried about Lu Junyi's IQ.

Fortunately, Jiang Hongfei said with a smile: "Since you are the disciple of the old hero Zhou and the junior disciple of Lin Chong and Lu Junyi, I am definitely looking forward to it, but I have something to say first. If you have such a background, I will only be more harsh on you." , If you want to get this top prize, you have to get first place in all subjects, otherwise I will never give you this armed prize."

As soon as Jiang Hongfei said this, some martial arts students couldn't help but snicker, feeling that Lu Junyi and Yue Fei would lose a lot of money if they failed to steal the chicken.

But those who are really smart know that Yue Fei has won a lot of money this time. I am afraid that the Wu Zhuangyuan who has not yet been born may not win as much as him. After all, Jiang Hongfei, the supreme leader of Liangshan, can remember that, Isn't it much better than winning a dry martial arts champion?

Yue Fei is quite smart, and he has also reacted. Jiang Hongfei has remembered him, and he may have good luck.

Jiang Hongfei came to the rostrum and said to Xu Guanzhong and other examiners: "This is my grand ceremony in Liangshan, and no one is allowed to make private decisions? Now you must swear an oath to God and express your true feelings before you can preside over the examination."

Jiang Hongfei immediately called to his attendants: "Place the incense table with me."

After the incense table was set up, Jiang Hongfei waved to Xu Guanzhong and other examiners.

Xu Guanzhong immediately worshiped heaven and earth, then knelt down to pray to the passing gods:

"Xu Guanzhong, a trustworthy official, is a native of Daming Prefecture. Meng Guogong favors martial arts students, so he should be sincere and impartial, select talents, and contribute to our Shuibo Liangshan. If there is any chance of deceiving the country and betraying the law, mistaking me Shuibo Liangshan to seek wealth." If you think about it, you will die by swords and arrows.”

After taking the oath, he asked Pei Xuan and other examiners to come over and take the oath.

But after all the examiners took the oath one by one, Jiang Hongfei said loudly in front of everyone:

"Shi Jingtang presented my atlas of the sixteen states of You, Ji, Ying, Mo, Zhuo, Tan, Shun, Gui, Ru, Xin, Wu, Yun, Ying, Shuo, Wei and Huan in northern China to the Khitan Emperor Yelv De Guang, from then on, the sixteen states of Yanyun separated from the Central Plains, were officially included in the territory of the Khitan Kingdom, and became the administrative region of the Khitan Kingdom.

This is a fertile and vast land, about 600 kilometers long from east to west and 200 kilometers wide from north to south, covering an area of ​​about 120,000 square kilometers.

The products here are rich, including "the richness of mulberry, hemp, jujube and chestnut" and "the richness of jade and silk children".

The terrain here is steep and has important military defense significance. The famous passes in the north, such as Shanhaiguan, Xifengkou, Gubeikou, Yanmenguan, etc., are all located in this area.

The states of Yan and Yun were created to divide the land between Tibetan and Han. Only one man should be in charge of the pass, and no ten thousand men could move forward.

China is mostly infantry. If we want to resist the invasion of nomadic cavalry, we must have steep terrain as a barrier, and the Yanshan and Taihang Mountains just constitute such a natural strategic security line of defense.

Once the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun was lost, our gate to northern China suddenly opened wide, and the border defense in northern Hebei was almost undefensible from then on. The cavalry of the northern nomadic peoples poses a serious threat to China's security. They can gallop across thousands of miles of plains at any time, and drink from the Yellow River day and night.

The Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun is really a great defense in the past and present. Shi Jingtang's cession of the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun has caused harm to the Chinese people for more than two hundred years!

Zhao Song emphasized literature and restrained martial arts, overcorrecting, and teaching the status of soldiers to decline sharply. Good iron will not be hammered, and good men will not be soldiers. This is what Zhao Song spread. In order to further lower the status of soldiers, Zhao Song would also give soldiers face Tattooing on the body was a punishment that only criminals would receive. When the status of soldiers was so low, how could they be asked to sacrifice their lives for Zhao Song? Therefore, Zhao Song implemented a passive and negative national defense strategy, defending the inside and the outside.

How could Zhao and Song Dynasty regain the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and give the Chinese people a safe living space? "

Having said this, Jiang Hongfei paused, and then continued: "And I am in Liangshan. I attach equal importance to civil and military affairs. I divide civil and military forces into civil and military administrations. I have soldiers wrapped in horse leather and shed blood on the battlefield. I protect my family and my country. I am one of the people who should be respected the most!"

"A strong man is so generous. He aspires to dominate the world. He drives a long distance to fight, forgetting his orders. He has a good bow and a black horn, and his armor is shining. When faced with danger, he does not care about life, and his body and soul are flying. How can he be a full-body soldier? Serve and fight for your life. On the battlefield. Loyalty will be honored for generations, and righteousness will be famous for generations to come. Your integrity will last forever!

Jiang Hongfei's words, coupled with Jiang Hongfei's "Yong Huai", triggered the warmest applause.

The martial arts were suppressed by the Zhao and Song dynasties for two hundred years, especially after Zhao Guangyi became emperor.

Because Zhao Guangyi was in the wrong position, he was extremely guilty.

Especially after the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Gaoliang River to regain the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, Zhao Guangyi was wounded and escaped. At that time, the generals of Zhao and Song Dynasty who could not find the emperor gathered to discuss how to support Wei Wang Zhao Dezhao, the second son of Zhao Kuangyin. As the new emperor, they didn't give up until they found out that Zhao Guangyi was not dead yet.

This incident frightened Zhao Guangyi. Naturally, his suspicion and guard against military generals became even more serious.

As a result, the entire Zhao and Song dynasties officially entered the historical path of advocating culture and restraining military force.

Now, Jiang Hongfei made it clear that the status of the soldiers in Shuibo Liangshan would be as high as that of the literati who were promoted by the Zhao and Song Dynasties, and they were among the most respected people.

Jiang Hongfei is the supreme leader of Shuibo Liangshan, and at this time it is the scene of a military exercise, so Jiang Hongfei's words must have determined the nature of the soldiers in Shuibo Liangshan.

In other words, the soldiers who had been frustrated for almost two hundred years finally waited for their moment to stand up!

It's not about anything else, it's just about this point. How can a group of military students, including a group of warriors, who target soldiers, not support Jiang Hongfei?

Jiang Hongfei continued: "Now the Lord of the Liao Dynasty, Yelu Yanxi, is extremely mediocre. He loves hunting and favors treacherous ministers. The Jurchens in the north took advantage of the situation to rise and established the Jin Kingdom. They have acquired several Khitan states and counties, and three of the five Khitan capitals have been captured. Yelu Yanxi is here. At this time, he is nowhere to be found, and his luck is at a loss. This is a golden opportunity for the Han people to recapture the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, lock the Iron Pass again, and prevent Hu Ma from going south again! "

Speaking of this, Jiang Hongfei said loudly: "I don't like to tell lies. Since you can come to participate in this first martial arts examination held by Shuibo Liangshan, you are already a loyal supporter of Shuibo Liangshan. So I Special approval, for this martial arts examination, all those who participate in the election will be awarded the deputy lieutenant Jinyong of Shouque, who will hold the position of corps commander; if he wins one game, he will be awarded the deputy lieutenant Jinyong, who will hold the post of captain; if he wins two games, he will be awarded the title of commander. Deputy Lieutenant Shouque Jinyi serves as the Warden Commander, and so on..."

After hearing this, all the martial arts students were overjoyed!

The one who calculated quickly immediately thought in his mind: "As long as I defeat eight people, I can become a young envoy and a real military attache!"

Moreover, Jiang Hongfei gave him everything he needed!

In other words, these military students are already low-level captains who command the army. If they work hard, they can climb up step by step.

If he can become the number one scholar, even if he can't directly become the ruler, he should be close to it.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

After everyone's enthusiasm cooled down a bit, Jiang Hongfei added: "Our Liangshan Army not only needs brave men, but also people who can strategize. Therefore, if anyone is familiar with military books and tactics, or has unique insights into troop command and combat, You can also apply to be a staff officer. This path may be better than competing in a martial arts competition. I would like to emphasize again that martial arts scholars, especially those in the top three, must take the test of military command. "

After saying what he wanted to say, Jiang Hongfei led the people away simply.

Next, under the auspices of Xu Guanzhong and other examiners, a group of martial arts students held the first three competitions.

As a result, hundreds of people have obtained the qualifications of Deputy Lieutenant Guard Jinyi and the Warden Commander. Although those who have been eliminated have regrets, their trip was not in vain.

What is unexpected is that the efficiency of Shuibo Liangshan is very high.

Those eliminated military students went directly to the political and educational office of Shuibo Liangshan and began to receive fifteen days of political education, and then received fifteen days of military education, after which they would leave the army and serve as officers of the Liangshan Army.

Don't talk about others.

Just say that Yue Fei and the others passed through all the way, and all of them were among the hundred, becoming undergraduate martial arts scholars.

In order to allow the martial arts scholars to perform at their best, Xu Guanzhong and other examiners gave the martial arts scholars a day to rest.

Niu Gao's physical strength and endurance were excellent, and he didn't need to rest at all. He was also a restless person, so when he saw Yue Fei and others meditating and adjusting their breath, he went out to wander alone.

When I looked up, I saw a storyteller setting up a bookstore, and many people gathered there to sit and listen to his story.

When Niu Gao saw it, he walked over excitedly and listened to the storytelling.

This storyteller told the story of the generals of the Yang family, that is, the Eight Tigers' invasion of Youzhou.

Yang Zaixing, who was also listening to the book, was filled with enthusiasm. He took out two spiritual stones and handed them to the storyteller, saying, "Fellow Taoist, we are just passing by. We would like to see Qing Moguai off."

The storyteller was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you so much, gentlemen!"

The two turned around and left. Niu Gao looked curious and followed them out.

Luo Yanqing asked: "Brother, why do you give this storyteller so much reward?"

Yang Zaixing said: "Brother, have you never heard him say that my nine great grandfathers and sons are invincible in a million troops? Not to mention two spiritual stones, ten spiritual stones are worth it!"

Luo Yanqing suddenly realized: "So that's why."

Niu Gao thought to himself: "It turns out that I was given so much reward for the sake of my ancestors."

After a while, Yang Zaixing and Luo Yanqing came across another storyteller stall.

I just heard that this storyteller was talking about Xing Tang Zhuan.

"The King of Qin, Li Shimin, went to the Five Dragons Meeting at Mount Yaosuo. There was a general there. He was the seventh best man in the world. His surname was Luo Mingcheng. Under the orders of the military advisor, he single-handedly captured Wang Shichong, the king of Luoyang, Zhu Can, the king of Nanyang in Chuzhou, and Gao, the king of Baiyu in Xiangzhou. Tan Sheng, Dou Jiande, King of Xia Ming in Mingzhou, and Meng Jiigong, King of Song in Caozhou."

Luo Yanqing was happy to hear this. He took out four spiritual stones and shouted: "Friends! We are just passing by. Don't take it too lightly if we don't bring more."

The storyteller kept saying: "Thank you very much!"

When the three people came out, Niu Gao thought: "This is his ancestor again."

At that moment Yang Zaixing said: "Brother, why did you give him four spiritual stones?"

Luo Yanqing said: "Brother, didn't you hear him say that my ancestors were ruthless? Locking up the five dragons alone in Niukou Valley is not as good as my eldest brother's ancestors. Nine of them could protect an emperor, which is not enough to save lives. In total, my My ancestor was more cruel than your ancestor, so I gave him two more spiritual stones."

Yang Zaixing was furious: "Are you bullying my ancestors?"

Luo Yanqing shrugged: "It's not that I'm bullying my brother's ancestors, it's because my ancestors were more ruthless."

Yang Zaixing didn't waste any words and said straightforwardly: "Forget it, I'll go back to your apartment with you, put on your clothes and mount your horse, and go to the primary school to compete in martial arts. If you win, you can grab the top prize here; if you are ugly in martial arts, you go back and take the exam again. stop!"

Luo Yanqing refused to give in and said, "That makes sense."

The two started arguing and shouting.

Niu Gaoxin said: "Fortunately, I am here to hear it. Otherwise, the number one scholar would have been snatched away by these two idiots!"

Niu Gao hurried back to his apartment and went upstairs. He saw Yue Fei and the others were still meditating and adjusting their breath. He thought to himself: "Don't inform them. Just wait until I grab the top prize and give it to my eldest brother!"

Thinking of this, Niu Gao took his mace, went downstairs to get the horse, and went to the small school field to find Yang Zaixing and Luo Yanqing to compete for the top prize in martial arts...
