Chapter 13 Changshan (3)
"Why should Brother Taizhen ask this more?" The young man in black was silent for a moment and asked a little sarcastically: "Although Duan Wuwuchen was appointed as Duke of Liaoxi, his power and status came from King Pengzu, so he followed his every move. Could it be that the Dukes of Bingzhou could not deal with King Pengzu, but he imagined that between Duke of Liaoxi and the governor of Youzhou..."
"Is this a delusion? Brother Murong, don't you understand?" Wen Qiao interrupted the young man in black: "I just ask one question, if the Xianbei of Duan tribe actually had no intention of Dai County, what would Brother Murong do?"
"Of course it's..." The young man in black said a little casually and suddenly stopped.
He pressed his palm on the table, leaned forward slightly, and looked at Wen Qiao. These were two extremely small movements, but the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn. Even wearing a wide robe and big sleeves, it could not cover up his beastly posture. Obviously, Wen Qiao's rhetorical question really reached the most critical point.
Facing the hideous eyes of the young man in black, Wen Qiao was very happy. He even had the intention to pick up the chess pieces that had just been scattered by the young man in black, and re-packed them in two small painted jars. The chess pieces with jade textures bumped into each other, making a "whistle" sound.
"It's Hu Liuniang again!" said the young man in black gritted his teeth.
"Bingzhou has been hungry for many years, and the governor's office has no surplus food. Since it has to bear the expenses of hundreds of men, women, and young men in Funiu Village, it has to be exchanged for something useful." Wen Qiao replied lightly.
Since Wen Qiao said this, the young man in black knew that his great secret was ultimately in the eyes of others. Bingzhou used the power of the newly defeated Huns to intervene in Dai County, and he was like a candle to the situation in the northern border, showing sufficient preparation. This made him feel a little afraid. On the other hand, he was a master of military tactics, and knew how powerful the general named Lu Yao was in Dai County like a storm. This required the ability of organization, coordination, reconnaissance, and combat to reach an extremely high level. Even with his usual conceit, he had to admire him.
But...will you really give up like this? The young man in black folded the map into a neat piece of land.
"If you want to be scheming and planning, we northern Xinjiang people are not your opponents." He looked at Wen Qiao with a cold expression and stood up: "It's a pity that this is northern Xinjiang."
"So what about the northern border? Please forgive Wen Qiao for being ignorant and rude, and please tell me in detail."
"Brother Taizhen naturally has a sharp vision, so I don't need to hide it too much. Duan's army has been watching western Liaoning for decades, and its strong enemies are nothing more than Tuoba and Murong. The two strong Tuoba Xianbei are in the internal struggle, which is exactly the wish of Duan's army. What they least want to see is that the Lu official power is strong and the Tuoba Xianbei is unified. Therefore, Duan's army has no malicious intentions towards the Duan's Yueshi Gong who supports Yilu, and does not intend to have a conflict with General Lu Daoming in Dai County." The young man in black suddenly stood up and his words gradually became harsh: "However, Duan's army is in chaos in Dai County, but my Changshan army may not be able to do it!"
He said word by word: "Brother Taizhen, the northern border of thousands of miles is different from the Central Plains and the Han people's intrigue. The people in the northern border do not have your scheming and never make verbal disputes. Here, all the power schemes are false. For thousands of years, we have spoken with strength. If we have strong strength, we will win, and if we are weak, we will perish! I don't care what Duan Wuwuchen thinks. No matter who wants to plan for Dai County, we must first ask whether our Changshan Army soldiers agrees or not!"
It seemed to echo the murderous words of the young man in black. Just as he was talking, the sky suddenly became dark as ink. The next moment, a strong wind blew, rolling straight into the hall, waving the window frames on all sides, making a bang of banging sound.
Wen Qiao was stunned for a moment, and then he heard the thunder roaring outside the window, and a heavy rain poured down. The heavy rain came suddenly, and in almost the blink of an eye, it was dense rain. The raindrops as big as beans followed like lines, hitting the eaves and making a crackling sound.
The hall where the two of them were located is located on the Qianzhang Peak deep in Changshan, which seemed to be high enough to reach the sky. At this moment, when they looked up, the thick black clouds seemed to be reaching for their hands, and the rolling thunder almost rang in their ears.
Wen Qiao sighed: "Why do you have to do this? Why do you have to do this? The boss, you can take a long slut, and I will ask it, how about it?"
The young man in black sneered and clapped his hands.
There was a small ear door on the side of the hall. The young man in black applauded, and heavy footsteps suddenly sounded behind the ear door. Then, several people came out from behind the screen. Judging from their appearance, they all had their own appearances, and their ages were of different ages; but they were all intimidating and very fierce.
"Changshi Wen, let me introduce it to you. This is Yang Feixiang, this is Hao Guo, this is Feibao Tujili, this is Zheerda, this is Guen. These five are the five most powerful leaders in the Changshan army besides me."
"Good luck, lucky luck luck." Wen Qiao nodded slightly.
Yang Fei was a thick man with a huge body and a stubble face, with a half-naked upper body, wearing an old sheepskin coat, revealing his fluffy chest. He stepped forward to Wen Qiao's couch, looked down at Wen Qiao, and grinned: "Haha, the Chinese and Korean people are different from us, and they look more handsome when they look closely!"
Yang Feixiang was too close, and Wen Qiao could almost see the yellow teeth in his mouth and the strands of flesh hanging between his teeth. The stench in his bloody mouth made him almost dizzy. He heard Yang Feixiang's words again... Even though Wen Qiao was good at qi cultivation, his face turned pale.
"I invite these five leaders to meet with Chief Wen to tell you something." The young man in black continued: "In the five hundred miles of Changshan, there are horse thieves who live without a fixed place, and there are also mountain villages that are guarding dangerously. Dozens of families have their own heritage and have grudges. However, when facing foreign enemies, we always unite. What we said just now is the unanimous opinion of the five leaders... If Lu Yao and Lu Daoming want to control Dai County, they will fight."
Wen Qiao smiled bitterly.
I thought that the great master who had already persuaded Changshan bandits should not conflict with the court and carry out the matter of taking the fire for the Duan Xianbei. Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly changed. Even though the battle was meaningless, the young man in black must have wanted to fight and then go quickly. Even though Wen Qiao was smart, he didn't know what to do.
Yang Feixiang took a step forward and smiled grimly, "Why do you need to talk too much? Let me take this dog's life sacrifice flag first!"
The young man in black raised his hand slightly and stopped Yang Feixiang, but he was silent and said nothing.
At this time, the lightning stopped a little, and the hall was dark, and I don’t know what his expression was.
The hall was silent for a long time, and only the eaves were loosened and creaking sounds were heard in the wind and rain. The storm outside the house was raging along the overlapping mountains and valleys, and large amounts of rain poured in from the broken panes and splashed onto the ground.
After a long time, the young man in black continued slowly, "Shi Wen, you are a distinguished guest, and I have no intention of offending you. You might as well linger on Changshan for several days. After a fight, it will be not too late for you and I to discuss anything else."
Faced with such a situation, Wen Qiao couldn't help but look solemn. He bowed a little and said, "Changshan is Yuanyue, and Wen had been interested in visiting it. As for the affairs at the foot of the mountain, please give it as you wish."
The bandits of Chang Shan were dispatched.
This huge team of horse thieves, which had been uncontrollable for twenty years, claimed to use the heads of the generals of the Jin army to avenge the Hu tribes of Dai County. They issued an edict to gather people in Changshan for 500 miles. In just one day, a huge team of more than 4,000 people gathered, and rushed out from Baiyangyu Mountain Gorge on the eastern foot of Changshan, heading straight to Dai County. Along the way, Hu tribes who escaped from the attacks of the Jin army and fled from their old places joined in. By the time they entered Dai County, the team had expanded to more than 6,000 cavalry. Twenty-four thousand iron hooves rolled on the ground, and were about to shake the mountains and move the mountains.
The battle was covered with clouds over Dai County, and the war was about to break out.
Changshan generation has been a source of gatherings of thieves since ancient times. At the end of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Yan, the commander of the Yellow Turban Canal, gathered young men as bandits and attacked the mountains and lakes. Later, his troops gradually increased. Relying on the continuous mountains of Changshan Kingdom, Zhaojun, Zhongshan, Shangdang, and Hanoi counties, they formed an alliance with giant bandits such as Sun Qing and Wang Dang to form a bandit alliance covering the entire Taihang Mountains. They repeatedly defeated the official army and fought with heroes such as Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao, and Lu Bu. At its peak, they reached one million, known as the "Mercenary Army". The core activity area of the Black Mountain Army was in Changshan.
Zhang Yan's main force of the Black Mountain Army was eventually recruited by Cao Cao, but there were many other troops who were guarding the continuous mountains and confronting the imperial court. The rebellious and martial spirit of the mountain people has been passed down to this day and has not been weakened at all. If the bandits in the southern Taihang area such as Funiuzhai are characterized by cunning and deceitfulness; then the bandits in the northern border, led by Changshan bandits, are synonymous with cruelty and tyranny.
This powerful team of horse thieves will be the strongest enemy Lu Yao's troops faced since they entered Dai County. If they cannot win this battle, it would be empty talk to control Dai County.
Lu Yao responded quickly, and he raised all his elite troops, set out from Luochuan, and advanced upstream along the Qiyi River until fifty miles west of Dai County. He set up formations on the plains facing the Baiyangyu mountains, preparing to face a real battle.
