Yan Tong was a native of Ye County, Laizhou, Shandong Province. He was spoiled since he was a child and did not like reading. He liked martial arts. When he was young, he had a leisurely life, made some shady friends, and got into the bad habit of eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. His father was afraid that

He was a bad student, so he entrusted people with money and became a county official. Because of his martial arts skills, he was quickly appreciated by the magistrate of Ye County and stopped some bad habits.

After Yan Tong's parents died, he had no parental supervision and no support in life. Yan Tong became obsessed with gambling and soon lost everything. However, he was unwilling to win back and wanted to win back money. He borrowed money everywhere but failed.

He couldn't win it back, but he was deeply in debt. So he sold all the valuable things in the house, leaving his family impoverished and with nothing to gamble on. He looked at the house and found that there was a brocade quilt on the bed, which was his mother's dowry.

, just holding this brocade quilt, he wanted to make a desperate move and turn things around. In the end, he still watched helplessly as the brocade quilt was taken away. He was full of reluctance and hoped to admit defeat, so he had no choice but to admit defeat.

Yan Tong returned home in a state of despair, with no food for dinner. He lay on the bed at night, thinking to himself that he was a dignified man with thousands of kilograms of strength in his arms and no ability, but he ended up in such a miserable state. Yan Tong thought about it.

, so the idea of ​​​​stealing came up.

There was a clerk in the county government of Ye County, Xiangqi. He had a lovely wife, Luan, who was very good-looking. Since they both worked in the county government, Yan Tong and Xiangqi were naturally familiar with each other, and they often went to Xiangqi's house to drink. He met her.

Qi's wife was beautiful, so she began to covet her, and tried to seduce Luan with words several times. But Luan was a womanly person and ignored him at all.

One day, Yan Tong came to Xiangqi's house while he was not at home. He stepped forward and grabbed Luan, trying to force the king to attack her. Luan was very aggressive and became furious. He hit her head and face and cursed: "You

This damn villain is blind, but am I the same as you? You want to have an erotic dream, and you have found the wrong person." Yan Tong was afraid that Luan would make things worse, so he left in a hurry. From then on, he thought about it in his heart

Luan, and secretly hated Luan. Yan Tong was familiar with Xiang's family, so he decided to go to Xiang's family to steal something valuable.

Late that night, Yan Tong had just jumped over the wall, pried open the window, and slipped into the outhouse of Xiang's house. Luan, who was sleeping in the back room, heard a rustling sound and quickly pushed Xiang Qi to sleep next to her, saying

There was a thief. Xiang Qi stood up, lit the lamp, took the waist knife hanging on the wall, and came out of the room, followed by Luan. Yan Tong saw that the theft was not completed and was discovered, so he broke the door and left.

Luan was very agile, with quick eyes and quick hands, and he grabbed Yan Tong by the corner of his clothes. Yan Tong struggled to break free and flew away.

Seeing that the thief had run away, Xiangqi stopped chasing him, closed the doors and windows, and saw that nothing was missing, so she didn't think much about it. However, Luan said: "I think the figure of the thief is a bit familiar, he looks like your county government office."

Yan Tong." Xiang Qi said: "This is impossible. Yan Tong is also an official of the county. Although he has some bad habits, he will not commit theft." Yan Tong failed to steal and was almost caught. He then secretly swore

, one day when he becomes prosperous, the first thing he will do is to kill Xiangqi and seize the Luan family.

Later, Genghis Khan of Mongolia led his army to attack the Jin Kingdom in the south. Many counties in Shandong and Hebei were lost. A Mongolian army rushed to Laizhou. Xu Ruxian, the governor of Laizhou, and the officials of Ye County heard that the Mongolian soldiers were coming and hurriedly abandoned the city and fled. Yan Tong but

He stepped forward and led the few soldiers in the county to resist desperately. The Mongolian soldiers burned, killed and looted for a while before leaving. After the Mongolian soldiers retreated, Xu Ruxian returned to Laizhou Prefecture. The government officials reported Yan Tong's heroic killing of the enemy to Xu Ruxian.

Xu Ruxian immediately reported to the court and made a special statement about the fight against the Mongolian army. Of course, it was also to show his merit. He was promoted to Yantong as the county lieutenant of Ye County, and became an official in charge of patrolling thieves and maintaining public security. He became Xiangqi's boss.

.

At the same time, Yang An'er rose up in Yidu, Shandong, and led the red-coated army to occupy Laiyang County under Laizhou. Yan Tong felt that he had a chance to be proud and proud, and it was time to do something earth-shattering, so he organized and killed all the young Han people in Ye County.

He captured the Jurchens in the city and the officials appointed by the Jin Kingdom. Then he led people straight to Xiangqi's home, arrested Xiangqi's family, and asked Luan whether he would obey him. Luan said seriously: "I have a husband and a son.

How can you be a thief?"

Yan Tong killed Xiang Qi and his son, and asked: "Now that you have no husband and no children, what should you do?" When Luan saw her husband and son being killed by Yan Tong, she ran over desperately and hit her with her head.

He defeated Yan Tong and cursed loudly: "How can I be defiled by animals!" Yan Tong was furious, drew his sword and killed Luan. The Jin Dynasty later named Luan the king of Xihe County, with the title "Zhuang Jie".

Yan Tong occupied the county government of Ye County. The governor Xu Ruxian felt that he could no longer serve as an official in Jinting, so he approached Yan Tong and said that he would dedicate Laizhou together and sent someone to contact Yang An'er. Yang An'er was naturally overjoyed when he was rewarded and hurriedly

He led the army straight to Laizhou. Xu Ruxian led the officials and Yan Tong to open the city gate and went out to meet Yang An'er. Yang An'er took Xu Ruxian's hand and comforted and praised him kindly. He also heard something about Yan Tong and asked who Yan Tong was.

Tong. Yan Tong immediately stepped forward to kowtow to Yang An'er. Yang An'er smiled and said to him: "Children love each other, but heroes are short-tempered. Why should a man be without a wife?"

Yan Tong replied: "My lord, you have never seen this woman. She is a natural beauty, but she is too hot-tempered to kill her." Yang An'er took advantage of the opportunity, so he said nothing more. After settling in the city, Yang An'er

Xu Ruxian was immediately appointed as the governor of Laizhou, and Yan Tong was appointed deputy commander of troops and horses. Then Yang An'er asked who was going to attack Dengzhou, and the commander-in-chief Zou Jian responded. Yan Tong also stood up and expressed his willingness to go. So Yang An'er sent Zou Jian to be the governor.

The main general, Yan Tong, was the deputy general, and he sent troops to Dengzhou. Gengge, the governor of Dengzhou, heard that the red coat army was pressing down on the border, so he opened the door and surrendered. From then on, Yang An'er established his own political power based on Laizhou and Dengzhou.

But the good times did not last long, and the Jin servant San Anzhen led his troops to kill him. Yang An'er was defeated in Laizhou and Dengzhou one after another. He wanted to take a boat to Kaixi Mountain, but was shot down by the boatman Qu Cheng and died in the water. Yan Tong and Yang An'er's nephew Yang You,

General Zhang Zhengzhong broke out, and Yang You wanted to be the leader of the red coat army. Yan Tong said: "The most important thing for us now is to meet up with the separated ministries. It is not too late to listen to Liu Quan and others before making a decision." So they

He led the remnants of the Red Coat Army to Kuei Mountain one after another. Liu Quan Quan, against all opinions, wanted to invite Yang An'er's sister Yang Miaozhen to be the leader of the Red Coat Army. Yan Tong was the first to agree.

Yang Miaozhen was elected as the leader. At that time, her husband Li Quan was not around, so she took Liu Quan as the marshal and led the red coat army to evacuate from Kuaixi Mountain and fought several battles with the Jin soldiers. Then she moved to the foot of Moqi Mountain in the southeast of Juzhou.

Seeing that the terrain of Moqi Mountain is steep, with abrupt peaks and mountains, and surrounded by water on three sides, it is an excellent place for garrisoning troops, so he summoned

The generals decided to occupy Moqi Mountain as the base camp of the Red Coat Army. They began to build strongholds, set up passes, sent people to the surrounding areas to raise food, and called on local people to join the Red Coat Army. At the same time, Yang Miaozhen sent people to recruit Li Quan to come back.

.

Soon, Li Quan led his troops to Moqi Mountain and joined forces with Yang Miaozhen.

Yan Tong fell in love with Yang Miaozhen at first sight because of her beauty and martial arts skills. However, the famous flower had a master, and he was helpless. Yan Tong saw that Li Quan and Yang Miaozhen were happily enjoying each other all day long. Thinking that he was still alone, he came to find Yang Miaozhen. Yang Miaozhen discovered that Yan

Tong had been a little depressed recently. When she saw Yan Tong coming to see her, she asked Yan Tong if anything was wrong. Yan Tong hesitated, looked at Yang Miaozhen, and said that the location of Sanshan Pass in the east of Moqi Mountain was important and asked him to lead a team to station there.

Yang Miaozhen saw Yan Tong's thoughts and said to him: "General Yan must be thinking about a woman. If there is a suitable one, I will definitely marry General Yan a beautiful wife. If you think of Sanshan Pass, it is the gateway to protect Moqi Mountain.

, I will allocate you 3,000 troops to set up a garrison at Sanshan Pass, go there to establish good relations with the surrounding people, train soldiers, and expand the team." Yan Tong still has a way of leading troops in war, and he quickly built Sanshan Pass as a guard.

The number of Xiongguan troops in Moqi Mountain also expanded to 5,000.

There was a wealthy local family named Bai, so Yang Miaozhen acted as a matchmaker and married Yan Tong to Miss Bai of the Bai family. Yan Tong married a lovely wife and fell in love with Yang Miaozhen, so naturally he devoted himself to serving the Red Coat Army. Li Quan and Yang Miaozhen accepted the Song Dynasty

He led his troops down Moqi Mountain and returned to the south. Yan Tong also became the general of the Zhongyi Army under Li Quan. He accompanied Li Quan in battles and made many military exploits.

In the winter of the twelfth year of Jiading, it rained heavily and the Huaihe River froze. Li Quan asked the Huaidong Zhizhi Department to attack the east and west cities of Sizhou in the Jin Kingdom. Yan Tong led two thousand forwards and crossed the river on the ice, arriving at Sizhou first.

East City. When Li Quan led his army to arrive, he ordered Yan Tong to lead the vanguard with Shi Qing and Xia Quan's 3,000 spearmen to step on the ice of the moat, get close to the wall, and attack the east wall. Yan Tong and his soldiers had just arrived at the edge of the moat.

Suddenly the golden drums beat loudly on the city, the torches were bright, and countless golden soldiers flashed out from the battlements, bows and arrows ready, and they shouted in unison: "Thieves Li San! Do you want to sneak attack on our city? Let you taste the power of the crossbow."

." After saying that, arrows rained down from the city. Yan Tong was hit by an arrow in the leg and quickly withdrew his troops. There were over a hundred soldiers killed and wounded. Li Quan saw that Sizhou was on guard, so he had to retreat.

The Song Dynasty did not trust the Red Coat Army who surrendered to the Song Dynasty from the Jin Kingdom, and suppressed them everywhere, creating internal strife. Li Quan, Yang Miaozhen and his wife had conflicts with the court. After Li Quan's brother Li Fu killed another loyal army general Liu Qingfu, because of an incident

Yan Tong was dissatisfied. At this time, Peng Shi sent Li Quan's general Guoan to find him, saying that he wanted to kill Li Fu and express his loyalty to Song Tong. Yan Tong didn't think about it.

, agreed immediately. Since Li Quan was in Qingzhou at this time, there were only Yang Miaozhen and Li Fu in Chuzhou City. Yan Tong and others were ready to take action to attack and kill Yang Miaozhen and Li Fu, so they led the crowd to Li's house.

At this time, Li Fu just walked out of the house. Yan Tong cut off Li Fu's head with a knife. Then they broke into the inner room, killed Li Quan's son Li Tong, and looked around for Yang Miaozhen. They happened to see a woman
