Chapter 15 Liver and Boldness

"This is not good!" Chu Tianya sighed again and said, "In today's world, it is an official force | people's opposition, and soldiers are better than thieves. In addition, the Jurchens are about to go south to invade the Song Dynasty. No matter the soldiers and the people, they will suffer. Taking Master Tong as a person, he will not only rise up and resist, but also save his life and leave. Ma Dujian, you know more about Tong Taishi than me. What do you think?

"Yes, there is such a possibility. Others may not know, but I still know it. Ma Yu said, "Tong Taishi has been in charge of military power for 20 years. Although there are victories and defeats in big and small wars, he is not really afraid of anyone. However, from the supervision of Hebei to the strength of the cavalry of the Liao army, he was deeply afraid of the Jurchens. Because he can't even defeat the Liao army, not to mention that he easily destroyed the Jvzhen Iron Horse of Liao?

"That's it." Chu Tianya said, "As long as the Jin Jun comes, Tong Guan will definitely give up Taiyuan and escape. At that time, Ma Dujian can only follow Tong Taishi as an escaped general. Even if you still wear this robe and armor on your body, there is no way to protect your family and country. How can you endure it and your face? What's the point of such a general of the Song Dynasty? Is it possible that Ma Dujian is just greedy for that little salary?

"Bang!"

Ma Yan slapped the wine table and said harshly, "Of course not! Raising soldiers for a thousand days is used for a while. We, Wufu, should serve the country and return the corpses!"

Chu Tianya nodded and was secretly happy in his heart: Ma Yan is still very bloody and righteous. My exciting method seems to have worked!

"Since that's the case, it's easy to do." So Chu Tianya said, "Since Tong Guan can't defend Taiyuan, who can protect the city when the golden soldiers come to attack?"

Ma Yan was not stupid, and his eyes lit up. "Do you mean to let me join Xishan and then lead them to fight against the golden soldiers together?"

"That's right!" Chu Tianya also patted his hand on the table, "At that time, wouldn't it be clear who will be loyal and brave to protect the country, and who will be greedy for life and afraid of death? A man stands in the world, but he has a clear conscience. Why does Ma Dujian have to stick to an identity and name?

"It makes a little sense..." Ma Yan seemed to be moved, but he was still a little hesitant and said, "But I led the army to reverse. Tong Taishi will not let me go!" Maybe he has sent troops to subdue me before the golden soldiers go south. Besides, even if I join Xishan, I may not be able to move them to come together to fight against gold?

"These are two problems. Let's analyze them one by one." Since Chu Tianya dares to boldly lobby the horse to expand the "anti-west mountain", naturally he has already thought about it. At this time, he said, "Let's talk about the first one first. Admittedly, Tong Guan will definitely not let you go. However, it is impossible for him to send troops to fight you.

"Why?" Ma Wei said doubtfully, "I know more about Tong Taishi than you. Leaving aside his identity and reputation, in private, he is actually a very righteous and generous person. He has always been generous to his subordinates, and the rewards and punishments are clearly quite military-hearted. That's why he can hold the military power for 20 years. But at the same time, he is also a person who will be rewarded, but anyone who offends him or betrays him will kill him quickly, and there will be no mercy!"

"That's right. But this is an extraordinary time. If you don't have to, Tong Guan won't be a sword soldier. Chu Tianya said, "Now is an important time to discuss the handover of the state and county with the Jin people, and there are envoys between the two countries. In case Tong Guan sent troops to suppress the rebellion and was bumped into by the Jin people, insisting that he was provoking with soldiers against the State of Jin, wouldn't it be a big deal? Tong Guan didn't dare to secretly dispatch troops to set up an ambush quietly. How could he make a big move to make the golden people misunderstand?

"It's reasonable to say, hit the nail on the head!" Ma Yan was immediately overjoyed, "Ziyuan, you are really wise!"

"It's all been awarded. In fact, as long as we get the characteristic of Tong Guan's fear of Jinren, it is not difficult to imagine his behavior. Chu Tianya smiled indifferently. There was a little feeling that he had grasped the suspect's personality characteristics and then reasoned the case. He said to Ma, "Are aside this, even if there is no obstacle from the golden man, Tong Guan will not easily use troops against Xishan. Because the court sent him to negotiate the diplomatic affairs of the two countries, suppressing bandits and pacify bandits is not his part of this trip. In addition, there are 18 villages of the righteous army in Xishan, and the military strength is good. It is not clear whether he can win the conquest and suppression. It may not be very happy to win the court. His own victory and victory army will also suffer losses; if he loses the army, he can't escape the blame. With Tong Guanzhi as a person, how can he do this thankless business? - In this way, after all the prisons, the possibility that Tong Guan will send troops to conquer you is very little. If this problem is solved, the next problem will be solved.

"Do you mean to convince me that the bandits in Xishan join forces to fight against gold?" Ma Yan shook his head with an embarrassed face, "I think it's difficult. Mountain thieves are no better than the forbidden army. Although they have a connection with each other, they do not accept each other. It is common for them to bully and attack each other. When I first came here, how could He De command the whole public?

"The same is true for the Xishan bandits. As long as you figure out their temperament and see their situation, it's easy to move." Chu Tianya smiled and said, "In fact, at present, whether it is a mountain thief, the people or the army, they all have a common enemy, that is, the Jurchens who are about to invade the south. If the bandits in Xishan sit and ignore the Jvzhen attacking Song, then after defeating Taiyuan, the State of Jin will certainly not let go of these organized and armed cottages, and will inevitably destroy them to destroy them, so as to avoid future troubles. This is obvious that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold!"

"It makes sense!" Ma Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, "That means that instead of sitting and waiting for death, it's better to unite to save themselves and fight against gold in the face of disaster?" If they win, they will change from mountain thieves and grass bandits to national heroes who fight against foreign bandits. Even if they are defeated, they are also vigorous. It is better for men to be heroes than to be mountain thieves for a lifetime, hiding from being scolded and hated!"

"Yes!" Chu Tianya nodded and smiled, "In addition, Ma Dujian just told me that most of the rebels in these nine mountains and eighteen villages are displaced people from Hebei, Hedong, Han and Liao, and deserters scattered in the armies of the two countries. They may have relatives who are still in the Song Dynasty, or their wives and daughters have been killed and abused by Jurchens, or they have other sources of hatred with Jin Guo. As long as Ma Du supervises it with reason and knows it with emotion, and then incites this group of people who are known as heroes and preceded by the word righteousness, it is not difficult to say that they will unite together to fight against the truth!"

"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! That's wonderful!" Ma Yu shouted excitedly, got up from the seat and grasped Chu Tianya's shoulder tightly. He was so excited that he said incoherently, "Ziyuan, you, you... You are really a God-given savior in Ma Yu, God-given savior in Longcheng!"

"I told you, I'm known as Longcheng Taibao!" Chu Tianya also laughed, "But don't be happy too early. I'm just talking on paper. It must be difficult to implement it. You have to supervise it and experience it yourself.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter! It's in heaven to make things come true, regardless of the outcome, but it's just a clear conscience!" Ma expanded his spirits, swept away the previous depression and depression, and raised his glass happily. "Listen to your words is better than reading for ten years!" Ma, my heart is suddenly enlightened, and there is no more trouble! Come on, you and I should be white!"

"I respect Ma Dujian!"

The two of them drank three cups in a row, and they were quite happy.

"Ziyuan, Ma will discuss the matter of life and death with you. Thank you for not giving up. Fortunately, Ma is very grateful for your advice." Ma Yu said sincerely and sincerely, "From now on, Ma is willing to have a sincere relationship with Ziyuan. Although he cuts his liver and gallbladder, he will not hesitate!"

"This is also a wish!" Chu Tianya hugged his fist and said, "A man was born in troubled times. He should stand up and make a difference. I'm very gratified that I can advance and retreat with heroes like Ma Dujian!"

"Haha! I miss Ma, who has been living for 30 or 40 years, and I just met a real confidant today! It's really happy, happy!" Ma Yan laughed happily and pulled Chu Tianya to drink several cups.

At this time, it was already half drunk. Ma Yu smiled at Chu Tianya and said, "Ziyuan, don't blame Ma for being sobersome. At this time, you and I are already taking care of each other, but Ma wants to talk to you about the past.

"What's the matter?"

Ma Yan put his hand on Chu Tianya's shoulder and said with a smile, "You didn't kill Xue Yu, but saved him from day, didn't you?"

Chu Tianya was stunned at first, and then smiled, "How can you hide your little skills from Ma Dujian? That's right. I didn't kill Xue Yu, but saved him.

"You did the right thing." Ma Yu looked at Chu Tianya and said seriously, "In fact, from the beginning, I have been suspecting that you were bought by Qixing Mountain to save Xue Yu. But I didn't raise any questions or investigate - do you know why?

Chu Tianya smiled and said, "Because Ma Dujian is a hero and a hero. In your opinion, it's a pity that a good man like Xue Yu can kill one less than one!"

"That's right. Ziyuan, it seems that I didn't misknow your knowledge. Ma Qian sighed and said, "Actually, now, the emperor's program is unconforming and the right path is not prosperous. Although there are quite a lot of benevolent people and righteous people in the world, they have the heart to serve the country, but there is no door to serve the country. Xue Yu is a good man. It would be a pity to die in vain at the hands of Tong Guan. At first, I saw your servile advice to help Tong Guan kill Xue Yu. Although I was ordered to act, I hated you from the bottom of my heart, so I have always been mean to you. But now, I know that Ziyuan is really a person - so it confirms what I think. You definitely didn't kill Xue Yu!"

"Haha, those who know me are all in prison!"

"Don't call the prison, the prison, it's too outside, too raw! It's useless for me to make you more than ten years old, just call me Brother Ma!"

"Okay, Brother Ma! I'll have another drink to you, little brother!"

"Ziyuan, today you and my brother will not be drunk!"

The two of them drank another cup happily, but Chu Tianya put down the wine glass and pressed the wine pot. He smiled and said, "Today, you should be happy, but you can't get drunk."

"Why? Does Ziyuan have anything else to do?

"That's right." Chu Tianya nodded, "Brother Ma, tell me first, when are you going to fight against Xishan?"

"In three days, what's wrong?"

"I have to give you some in advance." Chu Tianya said, "In case you just arrive in Xishan, you can kill them before you have time to communicate with them. It's not good to hurt the soldiers and be angry first. Since Brother Ma has exposed my little brother's poor tricks, I won't hide it from Brother Ma. I have had some contacts with the good men of Taihang Qixing Mountain. I think that since they are from the same path, the people of Qixing Mountain should have something to do with the Xishan Village, at least they are familiar with it. I want to pass through Qixing Mountain to have a photo of Brother Ma in Xishan first. In this way, it will be much more convenient for Brother Ma to act in the future!"

"Ziyuan, you are really careful, righteous and generous!" Ma Yu laughed and said, "In the past, some people called you Longcheng Taibao, which was mostly derogatory; but now, I think you really deserve this Yahao - Longcheng Taibao is a real hero!"

"Haha!" Chu Tianya laughed, "In fact, I also know that in the past, when others called me like that, they were actually pointing at me and scolding hooligans! - Brother Ma, we might as well stop here today and break up early, so as not to make life suspicious. Later, I will visit the people of Taihang Qixing Mountain again. It's better to make arrangements early.

"Okay, just listen to Ziyuan." Without saying a word, Ma Yan raised his glass and laughed, "You and my brother, drink this last cup today!"
