The name of General Tomb comes from a local legend. According to the legend, when a general in ancient times passed by Longpan Mountain while marching for a war, he saw the local people were naked and hungry, and he couldn't bear it, so he immediately committed suicide.
He advocated distributing part of the food and fodder that accompanied the army. However, during the battle with the enemy, he was defeated due to lack of food and fodder. The general also died on the spot, and his body fell into the hands of the enemy.
After the local people learned the news, they were grateful for the general's kindness and kindness and decided to build a tomb to commemorate his deeds. However, the bandits in Longpan Mountain at that time united together and came out in full force, sacrificing countless lives, and even increased the number of soldiers dozens of times.
He captured the general's body from his enemies and buried it here. From then on, it was called General Tomb.
There are many roads into Longpan Mountain, but there is only one main road, which passes through General Tomb and then to the fork in the road, and then branches off into several roads leading to different places. It can be said that the roads extending in all directions at the foot of Longpan Mountain are also responsible for the formation of Longpan Mountain.
One of the reasons why Panshan has been lined with hills since ancient times, and Jiangjun Tomb is the only place to pass when entering the mountain.
Although Huju Ridge has nominally accepted the adaptation of the Eighth Route Army, the more than 100 people in the village from top to bottom still regard themselves as bandits. The difference from before is nothing more than the addition of a political commissar sent by the Eighth Route Army. Anyway, the Eighth Route Army
No food, no wages, no guns... in short nothing. It will be difficult to give them a sense of belonging in the short term.
The bandits in Longpan Mountain have many strange rules. For example, if there is a conflict between them, they cannot use swords and guns. Instead, they negotiate over wine and invite an unrelated third party to uphold justice. This is the harmony of people and the people in Longpan Mountain.
One of the fundamental reasons for the enduring prevalence of banditry.
In addition to this rule, there is also a very "righteous" rule among the bandits in Longpanshan, that is, they must not take advantage of others, which means that the gangs cannot rob each other.
In the past two days, Wang Lichun had asked Li Yunbiao a lot about the secrets among the bandits in Longpanshan, so he also knew this rule. Now that he saw seven or eight young men on the opposite side trying to rob their food, he couldn't help but glance at his head.
Li Yunbiao wearing a melon skin hat.
Li Yunbiao didn't move, just stood beside the carriage. Wang Lichun behind him couldn't see the change in his face, so he could only turn his eyes to those... bandits.
This was the shabbiest bandit he had ever seen. There were eight people in total, the oldest was only in his early twenties, standing at the front with a bow and arrow, and the youngest was holding a spear, not much taller than the spear.
His hands were still shaking.
These eight people had two spears in total. Among the remaining six, two were holding bows and arrows. Among the remaining four, one was holding a rake for farming, which was uneven; one was holding an iron pickaxe with a worn-out head; and one was holding a rake.
The ones looked like fire sticks, very dark; only the one at the end looked a little bit like it, holding a big knife, but the edge of the knife was also cracked in two or three places.
Looking at the clothes of these people, only the man who was arranging the first bow and the man holding a large blade were barely passable. The other six people were almost all half-clothed, especially the smallest one standing at the back, who had two pieces of clothing behind his buttocks.
The rags were fluttering in the wind, and Wang Lichun even suspected that he didn't need to take off his pants when he had a bowel movement.
How dare you come out to rob the road like this? Seeing this, Wang Lichun raised the m1906 in his hand and shook it a few times, but was seen by the bandits standing at the front.
"You pretty boy, you are so young! If you dare to move again, I will shoot two holes in you with one arrow! I will rob you of wealth without killing, and leave a cart of grain behind, and I will let you pass!"
Damn it, is my face very white? Wang Lichun's expression was stagnant and he felt angry. At this time, Li Yunbiao couldn't help it anymore.
He smashed the melon skin hat on his head to the ground, strode up to the leader of the bandits, puffed out his chest and hit the arrow in the opponent's hand: "Zhang Erga, you have become more capable. Even our Huju Ridge
You dare to rob the goods! Come on, man, just shoot two holes in my body. If I don’t die in your hands, I will go to your old dragon peak to find Boss Du immediately and ask him if what happened today is right.
He ordered it!”….
The eldest son of Laolongfeng, the eldest son of the family is named Du. He is the eldest in the family and is a righteous person, so he is called Boss Du. He is an old acquaintance of Liu Yidao, the eldest son of Hujuling, and they have a close relationship. Therefore, they are the two names of Hujuling and Laolongfeng.
The boy walked closer.
Zhang Erga is the number one general under Mr. Du. He was born as an Orion and has mastered the unique skill of archery. He is said to be able to cross the Yangtze River with a hundred steps. As the fourth master of Huju Ridge, Li Yunbiao has met each other, especially Zhang Erga and the fifth master.
Mu Zhaodi tried it with throwing knives and bows and arrows.
"Are you the fourth master of Huju Ridge?" Zhang Erga then recognized Li Yunbiao, and his face suddenly showed an embarrassed look. He quickly put down the bow and arrow in his hand, for fear of hurting Li Yunbiao, and at the same time kept saying "Isn't it"?
, "Mr. Li, I'm sorry for my poor eyesight. I didn't recognize it just now. Please forgive me."
As he spoke, he motioned to his men to put down their weapons, intending to let Li Yunbiao and others pass, but a discordant voice rang out: "Brother Erga, we have been here for a whole afternoon, and they are the only ones here."
, with so much food, you just let them go?"
The one who spoke was the young man holding a spear in his hand. He looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. He was severely malnourished and lacked food and clothing, which made him as tall as a twelve or thirteen-year-old child. His body was so thin that it looked like he could be blown away by a strong wind.
When I first started running, my hands holding the gun were still trembling.
But at this time, his hands stopped trembling, and his wolf-like gaze stared at the three carts of grain from his sunken eye sockets. On his sallow face, the action of biting his chapped lips was particularly eye-catching.
"Shut up, bitch!" Zhang Erga's face turned red. He first turned around and yelled at the young man, and then raised his hand to Li Yunbiao, "Mr. Li is just kidding. He is still young and immature, so don't argue with him.
"
After speaking, he immediately walked towards the young man without waiting for Li Yunbiao to speak.
At this time, Wang Lichun also became curious. He jumped down from the carriage, walked to Li Yunbiao and asked in a low voice: "Do you know the fourth master?"
After Li Yunbiao briefly explained the relationship between Huju Ridge and Laolongfeng and what happened to Zhang Erga, Wang Lichun gestured to the various weapons in the opponent's hands and asked in a low voice: "Why is Laolongfeng so miserable?"
?”
Before the Japs came, Lao Longfeng was very prestigious in Longpan Mountain. Boss Du was a man of justice, which attracted many people to come here to surrender. He had more than 300 men and guns, and there was plenty of food and grass in the gang, which made him quite famous in Longpan Mountain.
In terms of prestige, when conflicts arise between gangsters, Boss Du is usually asked to be the middleman to mediate. However, as the Japanese took over Yangquan County, Laolongfeng declined rapidly. The reason for the decline was also due to Boss Du's generosity.
There is a village at the foot of Laolong Peak, called Wolong Village. After the Japs came, they robbed food, arrested people, and killed people, which caused great harm to the village. Boss Du couldn't see it and led people to attack the Japs who looted the village. As a result, the Japs were attracted
Crazy revenge.
At the same time, due to successive years of drought, the crops planted by the villagers failed to harvest. The righteous Mr. Du distributed the grain in the gang to the villagers. As a result, he was short of grain and grass, which attracted complaints from his subordinates. He originally had many guns.
The many Laolong Peaks suddenly fell apart, and more and more men secretly went down the mountain with guns and took refuge with other gangsters. In this way, Laolongfeng's food was not enough, and Huju Ridge lent food to Laolong three times.
peak.
In short, there are only fifty or sixty people and thirty or forty guns left in Old Longfeng. Its status in Longpan Mountain has plummeted. Compared with the prosperity of previous years, how can it be so miserable?
The two of them were talking in low voices, but there was an internal strife among the bandits in Laolongfeng over there. Zhang Erga and the man carrying the big blade were thrown aside, and were carried away by the young man called "Gouzi".
Gun and the other five people came to Wang Lichun and others again, and said firmly: "A cart of food, otherwise none of you will be able to get there!"...
This means that the negotiation has collapsed! Liu Chan'er and Li Daniu were both bandits, and they understood immediately and drew out their pistols without hesitation. Zhang Dayong was not to be outdone when he saw this, and also took out his guns. Liu Chan'er had two guns, among which
One was for Wang Lichun, and together with the m1906 in Wang Lichun's hand, a total of five guns were pointed at the opponent.
"You old Longfeng have rebelled. I want to see if my aunt can live with this general's tomb!" After seeing Li Yunbiao getting to know him, Liu Chan'er had never been interested. At this moment, the other party was planning to leave.
After the rules were enforced, she became more interested. With both guns in hand, she stood on the carriage and looked down at the six other people, feeling very majestic.
"Be merciful!" Zhang Erga was very anxious when he saw this. He dropped the bow and arrow in his hand and rushed over quickly, blocking in front of Gouzi and others. He kept explaining, "They are not from the gang, Mr. Li's family."
Brother, don’t be surprised if you don’t understand the rules!”
After saying this, he said to the people behind him without looking back: "Put down the guys in your hands. I don't know there are no bullets in the gun!"
Originally, the most intimidating thing among Zhang Erga's group were the two long guns. As for the other weapons that could barely be considered cold weapons, they could hardly exert any power when faced with the guns.
"It turns out he's just a good guy, with the same virtues as a stinky gangster!" Liu Chan'er lost interest again, inserted the two guns back into her waist, and sat down.
Am I stepping on your tail or something? Why do you, a yellow-haired girl, always have trouble with me? Wang Lichun turned around and glanced at Liu Chan'er dissatisfied, and also took the m1906 into his arms.
Li Yunbiao, who had never shown his pistol from beginning to end, frowned, stared at Zhang Erga and asked, "What on earth is going on? Is this your trip for private business? Huh? Tell me clearly!"
Private work refers to the bandits in the gang secretly going down the mountain to rob, which is not tolerated by any gang. Once discovered, they will light up sky lanterns as a warning to others.
"Master Li's..." Zhang Erga knew what was going on here and quickly explained. However, as soon as he started speaking, he heard a "pop" sound coming from behind him. When he looked back, he saw that the dog had fallen to the ground.
