The next day, after watching Tian Fan and his entourage leave, Yuan Huan casually gave a reason to the county magistrate beside him and left.

He mounted his horse and galloped in the direction of Xishan Mountain. Xiashan Mountain is the birthplace of Xiashui River and belongs to the remaining ranges of the Dabie Mountains. The mountains are not high. According to current standards, the altitude is only six or seven hundred meters, and the mountains are not that high.

It is a wide area, and the surrounding area is less than a hundred miles. But on this mountain, there is a group of people, a group of bandits. The leader is named Hanshun. Hanshun's army originally only had six to seven hundred people, and

There are still more than half of them, women, children, old and young, and there are only about 200 people who can fight. But since Yuan Shu founded the country at the beginning of this year, the people under his rule have been taxed and extorted violently, making it difficult for the people to live. Many people abandoned their homes and businesses and ran into the mountains. As a result, Han Shun's power

It expanded like a snowball. Now, he has more than 6,000 men and more than 2,000 capable warriors. 2m

At noon, Yuan Huan arrived at Xia Mountain. After he dismounted, he tied the horse to a tree and carefully followed the rugged mountain road up the mountain. He looked around and was fully alert.

Suddenly, a burst of bird song came from the towering trees beside the mountain road, and the mountain was even more secluded. This strange cry immediately startled Yuan Huan!

Yuan Huan couldn't help but stop and raised his head to look at the place where the birds were singing [

When he stopped, he was in trouble!

I saw a big stone falling from another tree. A long rope was tied to the stone. The rope was driven by the big stone and straightened instantly. The other end of the rope was right under Yuan Huan's feet. Yuan Huan felt that the soles of his feet were empty.

With a cry of surprise, he was immediately lifted into the air by a rope.

A man on the tree shouted excitedly: "Catch one, hahaha!" Several other voices shouted: "Great!"

At this time, the sword hanging from Yuan Huan's waist also fell off, and the scribe's crown on his head also fell off. It was extremely embarrassing!

Then, a few men jumped out of the tree, carrying swords and walking towards him with a ferocious smile.

Yuan Huan hurriedly shouted: "Don't do anything! I am an acquaintance of your leader, General Han, and I came here to meet you today because I have something to do!"

Several people were stunned!

The leading man looked at him for a while, pointed his sword at him, and shouted: "What did you say?"

Yuan Huan said loudly: "I am a friend of your General Han. I have a big deal today and I want to discuss it with him in detail!"

The leader was surprised and doubtful. He took a closer look at Yuan Huan's clothes. He was immediately convinced! He was a scholar, so he shouldn't tell lies.

He turned to several of his men and said: "Untie him, put a hood on him, and take him to see the big boss!"

Several men came down the mountain and responded. They untied him in various ways, covered his head with a black hood, confiscated his sword, and escorted him up the mountain. The last little man looked at him curiously.

After picking up the scribe's crown on the ground, he found that it seemed to be worth some money. He looked at his accomplices in front of him and saw that they were not paying attention, so he hurriedly hid the scribe's crown.

There is a large-scale house on the mountain. The most magnificent building in the house...it is comparable to an ordinary landlord's house. At this time, there are several people sitting in the main hall of the house. One is Han Shun of course, and the other two are him.

cousins, one is named Han Bao and the other is named Han Ya

In addition to them, there were three half-naked women, Han Shun, hugging each other. His hands were stroking and pinching a woman's plump arms. The woman's eyebrows were furrowed and she was about to cry. She was obviously dissatisfied with what Han Shun had done. However,

They have knives. In Han Ya's arms, there is also a woman who is enjoying similar torture.

Han Bao frowned slightly when he looked at the ugly appearance of the two people, but he didn't dare to speak at all.

Han Shun noticed Han Bao's appearance, he chuckled a few times, reached out one hand to another woman's lower body and took out a handful. The woman exclaimed, her face turned red, which made Han Shun laugh out loud and said:

"Xiaobao, there are so many women here, why don't you get one if you can smoke them as you please?"

Han Bao frowned and said, "Brother, you...hey, I almost don't recognize you now!"

Han Ya chuckled, hugged the woman in his arms tighter, and said: "Xiaobao, you are so soft-hearted! What's wrong with us feeding these people and earning a few women for them to play with? If they don't want to be played with, they

You can go, we didn't keep them!" As he said that, he turned the head of the woman in his arms toward him, kissed her hard on the face, and said, "Isn't that right, beauty?"

The woman forced a smile and whispered: "Yes!"[

Han Ya laughed loudly and glanced at Han Bao proudly.

Han Bao shook his head and thought in his mind that the eldest brother and the second brother are no longer the original eldest and second brothers! In the past, they were forced into despair by those stupid officials and fled into the mountains. But look at their Nirvana now.

Not as good as those faint officials!

At this moment, a little gangster ran into the house panting and shouted: "Big leader, we caught a person, and he said he has a big deal to do with you!"

After saying that, he swept the plump and soft mass of the woman in Han Shun's arms, and his Adam's apple moved involuntarily.

When Han Shun heard that there was a big deal, he immediately became excited. He opened the two women in his arms and said, "Bring him in!"

After a while, Yuan Huan was brought in

As soon as he took off his hood, he squinted his eyes stimulated by the strong light. It took him a long time to adapt to the light and look at the three people in the room.

The person sitting on the main seat must be Han Shun!

He cupped his fists and saluted, saying neither humble nor arrogantly: "Yuan Huan, the magistrate of Longshu County, has met General Han!"

Han Shun was also sizing him up. When he heard him announcing his home address, Han Shun nodded slightly and didn't react for a while.

Suddenly, his body jumped and he stood up. His eyes were wide open and he looked at Yuan Huan in surprise, as if he had seen a ghost. He asked in a shocked voice: "You...you said your name is Yuan Huan?"

Yuan Huan nodded and said: "That's right! I am Yuan Huan, now the county magistrate of Longshu!"

Han Ya and Han Bao also stood up in surprise. Han Shun stared at Yuan Huan, his pupils filled with blood. He grabbed the saber on the short table and pulled it out with a "chonk, clank" sound. The sword pointed at Yuan Huan, his arm trembled slightly and his voice was loud.

He shouted tremblingly: "Kill my brother and ruin my good deeds. Yuan Huan, I, Han Shun, will not let you live until tomorrow!"

Yuan Huan looked at his frightened face and his trembling arms, and a trace of contempt flashed in his heart, but then he felt the sadness of Xian! Unexpectedly, I would cooperate with such a person!

Not long ago, Han Shun led his men to attack Longshu County. Two thousand people were killed in the field by 800 county soldiers commanded by Yuan Huan.

How could he not feel sad if he cooperated with such a useless person who was so disdainful in his heart?

Seeing Han Shun raising his sword to kill, Yuan Huan suddenly burst into laughter!

…

To the southeast of Xishan Mountain, there is a mountain called Hushan Mountain, also called Qianshan Mountain, which is now the famous tourist resort-Tianzhu Mountain! There is also a group of "bandits" in this mountain, with as many as 15,000 people.

, there are about four thousand soldiers who can fight, and the leader is Yuan Shu's old general Lei Bo and Chen Lan. After Yuan Shu came to the throne, the two of them were dissatisfied with his corruption and incompetence, so they hid in the mountains with hundreds of trusted soldiers.

The two men have a very high military level. Yuan Shu sent Liu Xun to encircle and suppress them several times, but none of them succeeded. Instead, their combat power became stronger and stronger, and their soldiers' combat skills became more and more perfect, especially in mountain warfare.

The number of people under their command was increasing, and the outbreak of drought and locust plagues caused them to develop rapidly, and finally reached such a scale.

An hour later, Yuan Huan rode out of Xishan Mountain and rushed towards Lushan Mountain. He thought in his mind that to deal with Han Shun, who was worth two hundred and fifty, just coaxing him with a promise of a small official and a fortune would be enough to deceive him. However,

Fortunately, people like Chen Lan and Lei Bo will not be easily fooled. They owe me their lives!

In the afternoon, Tian Fan's army rushed to the northwest of Shu County, ten miles away. It took a long time to set up camp. Therefore, it was very strong and a fence was made of sharpened wood around the entrance. There were many fences around the fence.

Horses, dug pits, etc. There is a tall tower at the main entrance of the camp, which can accommodate dozens of archers and lookouts [

Such a project would definitely not be completed in an hour or two. Tian Fan asked the two thousand cavalry led by Pang De to be divided into four groups and wander around Shu County with torches, attracting the attention of the defenders in Shu County. Wei Yan and Hao Zhao each

Leading the elite infantry of his headquarters, a total of 8,000 people guarded the civilians and soldiers who were working hard to build the stronghold.

On the city tower, Liu Xun led a group of generals to watch Tian Fan's army at work, not caring at all how strong their stronghold was.

A lieutenant general saluted him and said: "General, why don't you take advantage of the moment and hit him? At this time, their footing is not stable, which is perfect for a sneak attack! There are two thousand cavalry in the city. Let the cavalry entangle the opponent's cavalry. We will send

If 30,000 infantrymen go into battle and 8,000 people are left to defend the city, the battle will be successful!"

Liu Xun laughed and asked, "Have you ever fought with the Xuzhou Army?"

The man's face looked ashamed and he said: "I am reporting to the great general, but there are no generals at the end!"

Liu Xun nodded, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and his voice was a little stiff as he said: "I have fought! In the battle with Long Kang, His Majesty, I, and Ji Ling, the three of us were only a little bit finished! Hehe,

Xuzhou's field combat ability is so strong that I never thought about fighting with them!"

After a slight pause, he said: "If the 40,000 of us were all veterans who had seen battles, I would dare to fight, but they... Hehe, these people are still sure of holding the city, but if it is a field battle..." He slowly said

Shake your head slowly and say no more

After a while, he turned around and patted the general on the shoulder, saying: "Defend the city well. When it's time to attack, I will let you know naturally!"

That will make a promise

Liu Xun looked at the busy Tian Fan army, with a sneer on his face. He thought in his heart, once Yuan Huan's plan is completed, no one of the 20,000 troops can escape! Tian Fan, do you really think that I, Liu Xun, am made of mud?

, can anyone step on it?

It was not until midnight that the strong village was finally completed.
Chapter completed!
