Xian Yufu whistled, and the whole city of Fuling heard it clearly. The well-fed brothers, carrying large and small food bags on their backs, came in groups from the north of Fuling amidst the cheers of the people.
The door left, leaving behind an even more chaotic scramble.
There is a small mountain village to the east of Hou'erling called Zhangjiabao. Most of the people in the village are named Zhang. According to them, when Liu Yan first entered Shu, in order to win over his cronies, he attacked those who disobeyed.
His own people cleaned up. Unfortunately, several villages at the foot of Houerling refused to obey the rules. Liu Yan gave the order and sent troops to carry out encirclement and suppression. Although they did not kill them all, they paid a heavy price. After that, in order to
To escape the military chaos, these people went up to the mountains to hide and live a self-sufficient life. However, their hatred has never been relieved. After so many years of recuperation, the second generation needs to recover the massacre that their parents suffered.
When Xian Yufu and others came here, the people in Zhangjiabao did not believe them. After personally observing several battles, these people finally believed that Xian Yufu did not like the Liu family much like themselves.
Zhangjiabao is surrounded by mountains and rivers, hidden in a lush forest. Central Sichuan is famous for producing a kind of golden monkeys. This monkey mountain is where the largest number of such monkeys are found. During the harvest season, there are thousands of monkeys.
Pairs of monkeys came down from the mountain and waited at the gates of these people's courtyards. The ancients were still simple, and they would not drive away the monkeys maliciously, because they felt that the monkeys were actually the ghosts of the dead, and there were probably some of them.
His own relatives who were massacred.
Monkeys are very spiritual. When strangers come to Hou'erling, they will definitely be the first to know them. Maybe they are really the relatives who were slaughtered, or maybe the monkeys ate the villagers' food and became the sentinels of the village.
. In short, when they see a stranger, they will chirp to notify the villagers. Over time, these monkeys have formed a tacit understanding with the villagers.
Xian Yufu's entry into the village was naturally reported by the monkeys. As soon as he walked into Zhangjiabao and stepped into a residential house, several young young men appeared immediately, holding rough spears against Xian Yufu's throat. A stocky young man with a hand
He was holding a big sword and looking at these people of unknown origin. This man was the leader of the young people in the village, named Zhang Yi.
This time when we entered Fuling, Zhang Ni followed us. She had lived in the barren mountains all year round and had seen so much grain there. Looking at the carts and carts of grain, Zhang Ni was all smiles. With all this grain, the village would be full of food.
It will be much better.
"Brother Xianyu, you are really capable. Thank you very much this time!" Zhang Ni was a little envious of Xianyufu's equipment. He liked bows, arrows, small shields, and swords, and they were much better than his own broken sword.
.
When Xianyufu saw Zhang Ni's eyes fixed on his sword, he naturally understood what he meant. After getting to know these people, Zhang Ni and a group of other young people all had such expressions. Xianyufu chuckled: "This is nothing? From now on.
As long as you follow me and our lord, you won't have to worry about food and clothing!"
"But we are from Yizhou, can we do it?" Although Zhang Yi also wanted to go, Houerling is too far away from Jingzhou, with thousands of mountains and rivers in between, and Liu Bei's army. Young people like him would not be able to go
What about the other people in the village?
Xian Yufu said: "Of course, not only you, but also everyone in your village must take it with you. We are not the kind of cold-blooded and ruthless people!"
"Thank you, General!" After hearing this, Zhang Ni was really glad for his original decision.
Everyone was still moved when Deng Ai hurried over from the rear of the team and said to Xian Yufu: "General, general, you have a tail!"
"How many?" Xian Yufu asked.
"There are only two of them. Do you want to deal with them?" Deng Ai asked.
Xian Yufu chuckled and turned to look at Zhang Yi: "Brother Zhang, are there any death places around here, the kind of places that are easy to defend but difficult to attack?"
"Yes!" Zhang Ni did not hesitate and returned immediately: "Three miles to the west from here is the west of Houerling. The terrain there is dangerous, with cliffs on three sides, only one side is a forest, and the road is narrow.
Best for fending off enemies!"
"Okay!" Xian Yufu nodded: "Deng Ai, send someone to send the grain back to the village. The other brothers will pretend to escort the grain and grass, and Brother Zhang Yi will lead the way. Let's go there. This group wants to catch us, so let them go first.
Taste the pain!"
Taishi Ci was ordered to lead five thousand soldiers and horses to quell the rebellion. Guan Yu was near the river and Yan Yan was in Jiangyang. Although the rebellion was not completely suppressed, he was able to control the situation. Only Fuling in the middle became more and more violent.
It's awesome. Taishi Ci chose this place as his first stop. He had already received news that Fuling was the initiator of the riots in the three places. It was not as the intelligence said that the three places started at the same time. It was Fuling who launched the first move, and the other two places followed suit.
.
There were still ten miles away from Fuling City, and someone sent news to Taishi Ci. They were people from Heibing, who lived in Fuling City all year round. Heibing was very active in Shu, and they were found in almost every small town and even every village.
Hei Bing's eyes and ears. Taishi Ci was also a member of Hei Bing, so he naturally understood. After receiving Hei Bing's information, Taishi Ci rushed to Fuling without stopping.
There is still chaos in Fuling city. The grain in the granary has been robbed. It is not known who started first. The people are besieging some merchants. If Taishi Ci had not arrived in a hurry, those merchants would have been killed.
The whole family was about to go bankrupt. After killing more than a dozen rebellious guys in a row, Fuling City was finally brought under control. The people who had been struggling for a day became honest.
"Sir, there is news. Those people did go to Houerling!" An older man with a simple and honest face stood in front of Taishi Ci with his head lowered.
Taishi Ci nodded: "It's called Zhen Xichuan, right? Do you know where this family is and who else is there?"
The man shook his head: "My subordinates have been investigating for a long time, and there is no news about this person. Their accent does not sound like Yizhou people, but more like Youzhou people!"
"Youzhou? How come people from Youzhou came to Yizhou to become bandits?" Taishi Ci began to believe Zhuge Liang's inference. Zhuge Liang once said that this riot was definitely related to Long Fei. At first, he didn't believe it, but now it seems that it is indeed the case.
It is possible that Long Fei came from outside the Great Wall.
"Hou'er Ridge?" Taishi Ci turned around and looked for the location of Hou'er Ridge on the map. After searching for a long time, he found nothing. The man hurriedly pointed with his finger: "There was no one there originally. Some people who had fled gathered there.
, over time it became a village, right here, about fifty miles away from our Fuling, within this mountainous area."
"Mountain area!" Tai Shici took a deep breath. Almost all of his men were cavalry. The cavalry could not function in the mountain area. This was a problem.
The man seemed to see Tai Shici's worry, and then said: "The destination of the bandits is at the foot of the mountain to the west of Houerling. The terrain there is difficult and easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is best for the general's cavalry not to go deep and to protect the law to the left.
It’s better to send infantry!”
"Hmph!" Taishi Ci hated it when others looked down on him, so he glared at that person: "I don't even care about mere bandits. I can use these cavalry to deal with them. I will set out early tomorrow morning and I must kill them."
They, capture this Zhen Xichuan and find out who he is!"
"No!" The deputy general, captain and others agreed hastily.
This West Mountain Pass is indeed a good place. As Zhang Yi said, there are cliffs on three sides, and there is only a forest in the south. Although the woods are not very dense, there is still no problem for the Tibetan soldiers and horses. Xian Yufu checked carefully:
"Yes, it's a good place! It's right here, Deng Ai, bring people to prepare immediately, anything can be done!"
Deng Ai smiled slightly, nodded heavily, and left. Zhang Ni didn't know what Xian Yufu was going to do, so he looked around and followed Deng Ai. The two were similar in age, and Zhang Ni was a little older. They called each other brothers and got along well.
Zhang Ni watched as Deng Ai dispersed all his troops and entered the forest, and followed him into the forest. As soon as he took a step, Deng Ai quickly stopped him.
Zhang Yi's raised leg didn't even know whether to lower it or not. Deng Ai came over in a few steps and pointed to Deng Ai to put his foot down: "You shouldn't follow me, I might hurt you!"
After Deng Ai's guidance, Zhang Yi saw clearly that there was a small circle just where he was about to put his foot. This circle was made of fine iron, with an iron rod in the middle, and both sides of the circle were covered with sharp objects.
Fang. Zhang Yi is a smart man. He understood immediately after taking one look, and extended his thumb: "Brilliant! If this thing catches anyone, their bones and tendons will be broken! Brother Deng, did you do this yourself?"
Deng Ai shook his head: "I don't know how. It was designed by our lord and someone specially made it. We just use it?"
"Did General Long think of it? Could it be that the general used to be an Orion?" Deng Ai was a little surprised. Long Fei's life experience has always been a mystery. Although he has never seen it, he has heard some things about Long Fei.
Deng Ai shook his head again: "I don't know about that!"
Xian Yufu's shadow army is good at sneak attacks and ambushes. If they fight with real swords and guns, they are naturally not afraid, but the losses are too great, and Long Fei is reluctant to bear it. This time, luring the snake out of the hole happened to be an ambush, which is their strength. The area of the forest
It wasn't too big. It had just gotten dark, and Deng Ai and his men had already laid out all the traps. Some used various tools, others used local materials, various mechanisms, and various traps.
Covered throughout the forest.
A few sentries were sent to lurk outside the woods, and everyone else went back to sleep to recuperate and prepare for tomorrow's battle. Xian Yufu looked at the stars in the sky, which were twinkling extremely dazzlingly. Although he was not afraid of fighting, when the war came
At that time, I was still a little nervous. Zhang Yi appeared behind Xian Yufu at some point: "Brother Xianyu, why did you follow General Long?"
Xian Yufu chuckled: "I don't know, I just think the general is a good person! He is loyal to his brothers!"
"Oh!" Zhang Ni tightly grasped the hilt of his knife with one hand, took a deep breath, and slowly closed his eyes: "What are you going to do if we lose tomorrow?"
"Losing? Why did you say that?" Xian Yufu turned his head and met Zhang Ni's eyes. Zhang Ni hurriedly avoided it, looking very unnatural.
