Great Wei Nengchen

"Baiyin King!..."

With a loud shout, including Zhu Yidao, dozens of leaders, big and small, stood up neatly, holding incense in their hands, and bowed respectfully to the height of the cave three times!

It turns out that there is a huge portrait engraved on the top of this cave. The stone carvings are simple and atmospheric, full of traces of time. At first glance, it has been a few years. The image depicts the appearance of a young man with sword eyebrows and star eyes , with a resolute demeanor, holding the Qingfeng sword in one hand, and raising the other hand to the sky, with his mouth open as if he was roaring something. Although there are not many lines in the stone carvings, it vividly expresses the demeanor of the young man, which endows him with a kind of Divine brilliance!

There are eight ancient characters beside the portrait. Although they are somewhat blurred, even those who don’t know a big character among the bandits, and can’t even write their own names, know what those eight characters are...' Prince General, would you rather be kind? '

There are 360 ​​lines in the world, and the top picks come out of every line. The same bandits also have their own ancestors, and the founder of the mountain they worship is--'Hidden King' Chen Sheng!

Chen Sheng, the No. 1 peasant uprising at the end of the Qin Dynasty, was originally a poor boy who couldn't even eat enough, but he was the one who shouted in Daze Township, "Princes and generals, would you rather have a kind?" 'This deafening oath set off a magnificent peasant uprising. Later, the rebel army was defeated. Chen Sheng fled to Mangdang Mountain with a few confidants, but was killed by the traitor Zhuang Jia and died here. !

Later generations have a very high evaluation of Chen Sheng, and even Tai Shi Gong said that he is a "pioneer for the king", that is to say, if there is no fire lit by Chen Sheng, there will be no great achievements of Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty; Therefore, later generations named Chen Sheng as the "Hidden King", and carved portraits here to offer sacrifices in four seasons!

Because there is a legend that Chen Sheng was killed in this cave, and the heroic spirit is buried here!

"Brothers, I must have heard about what happened in Shanyang County. I called everyone here today to discuss how to deal with it. Now that 'ghost-faced Xiao Lang' is approaching Mangdang Mountain step by step, and is about to kill us. I have to make preparations early!" Sitting on the stone chair, Zhu Yidao said sadly.

"Wow!..." The group of bandits suddenly went into an uproar. The name of a person, the shadow of a tree, and the words "Ghost Face Xiao Lang" can definitely stop a child from crying at night in Shanyang County, which makes people frightened...

It is said that this 'ghost-faced Xiao Lang' is not very old, but since he took charge of Shanyang County, he first bloodbathed the Jia family in Huayang, and then defeated the coalition forces of the [-] counties. A person on one side was killed by this person himself. It can be said that the entire Shanyang County has been wiped out by this person with blood and fire. Now he is marching towards the surrounding area of ​​Mangdang Mountain. Who is this for? , do you still need to ask?

"Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, what are you afraid of, the worst is to fight him!"

"Fight you big-headed ghost, with the hundreds of troops and those broken knives in your cottage, have you ever fought against others?"

"Why don't we hide and go into the mountains..."

"I'm afraid I can hide past the first day of the junior high school, but I can't hide from the fifteenth day! Besides, with so many brothers, what do you eat when you go to the deep mountains in the cold winter? Eat tree bark!"

"Quiet! Look at your prospects, you were so frightened when you heard the name!" Zhu Yidao patted the stone chair, and loudly reprimanded the group of subordinates, "Boss Huang, you have been in the field for a long time, and you have seen a lot. Guang, now that the enemy is strong and we are weak, I don’t know if there is any good strategy to retreat from the enemy?”

"That's right, Chief Huang, you have seen battles with officers and soldiers seriously, so tell me if you have a good way!" Everyone immediately focused their attention on the ground squirrel, unlike them bandits who only know how to rob houses. He is a figure who enters and exits frequently on the battlefield of thousands of troops. (The ground squirrel boasted, anyway, there is no need to pay taxes!)

"Okay, thanks to the great chief and all the brothers, I will talk about my humble opinion!" The chinchilla touched his nose, looking like he had experienced many battles, saying that he didn't know when he also had a feeling. The habit of the nose, this can be regarded as a kind of idol worship!

"The defeat of Shuicheng-Xiong's father and son that day was that they should not have confronted that 'ghost-faced Xiao Lang' head-on. The Xuanjia cavalry are all well-trained elites, skilled in bow and horse, and brave in killing and attacking. If you are head-to-head with others, then hit the stone with an egg and seek death yourself!"

"Don't we have any chance of winning at all?" Patting his bald head, Zhu Yidao was also full of worry. What the squirrel said was exactly what he was worried about. It's okay for these people under his command to rob the common people, but against elite cavalry on the battlefield, I'm afraid Not even scum left.

But if he flees without fighting, he is really unwilling, because there is one thing in Mangdang Mountain that he is bound to get. Become Chen Sheng's second, and live the addiction of aspiring to the top of the world!After years of painstaking research, he finally had some clues recently, so he is reluctant to give up now!

"If you want to talk about the chances of winning, it's not impossible!... As the saying goes, if you are outsmarted by the strong, we can come in the dark if you don't know; the 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang' came from afar and is very unfamiliar with the terrain around Mangdang Mountain. Said that he has an unstable foothold, and he robbed the camp late at night, and he will win a complete victory!" As he spoke, the ground squirrel put on a righteous look, "I am not talented, and I am willing to lead 500 troops from my department to be the vanguard, to explore for everyone. False!"

"Well said! The terrain around Mangdang Mountain is complicated. If we sneak around, we will surely catch him off guard!" Zhu Yidao slapped his thigh fiercely, thinking it was a good strategy, "If this battle is successful, Chief Huang, you will be me The second head of Mount Mangdang!"

"Hehe! Thank you, Chief, for fulfilling the mission!"

293.Chapter 293: [-]% Politics, [-]% Military!

Mount Mangdang is not only the place where Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, started his family, it is said that even the old master Confucius avoided the rain here, and left behind the famous "Fuziya", which is even a famous national tourist attraction in later generations. Looking at the rolling mountains in front of him, Xiao Yi couldn't help feeling filled with emotion, "Brother is back again!"

In his previous life, when Xiao Yi was a poor student, he traveled here. The deepest impression he had at that time was...'expensive'. Tickets cost 100 yuan, a bottle of mineral water cost 40 yuan, and a bottle of mineral water cost [-] yuan. There is a box lunch for each portion, and there are additional charges for some special scenic spots inside. After one day, Xiao Yi's poor wallet was scraped clean!

At that time, Xiao Yi swore depressedly that one day, he would command thousands of troops to level the toll point here, then spread the soil, and grow cabbage. Of course, that was just a poor student's fantasy. I really commanded thousands of troops to come here, but it's a pity that there is no charging point for him to step on...

"No, I have to leave a mark, so that they don't charge me for the entrance fee in the future!" Thinking of this, Xiao Yi drew out the sword at his waist, brushed it, and wrote on the stone wall of the mountain pass, "In the future, wherever I am a child with the surname Xiao Come here to play, come in and out as you like, and don't charge any money!"

Big Han - Prefect of Sanyang County - Xiao Yi question!

After writing the signature, Xiao Yi couldn't help laughing, even if he didn't need it, at least he could save money for his descendants, and they would definitely be grateful for having a wise, martial, and intelligent ancestor.

(Voiceover... A few years later, there was an unwritten rule in the Mangdang Mountain tourist attraction that all tourists surnamed Xiao came here to watch the 'Xiaolang Stone Wall', all free of charge, as for other scenic spots, they should charge as much or as much, haha..."

"Xiao Lang, I don't know when the army will enter the mountain to suppress the thieves?" Ma Liu was the one who spoke, and he led the troops to follow him when he went south this time. As for the newly married Daniel, he was left in the base camp to concentrate on making villains!

"Enter the mountain? No, we won't go in, pass the order, set up camp, and let the brothers rest for a few days before we talk!" Xiao Yi waved his hand, he didn't want to suffer that trouble for drilling a mountain ditch in the middle of winter!

"What about the bandits in there?"

"Hehe, look at these rolling mountains, full of cliffs and cliffs everywhere, there is no way out at all, our thousands of people rushing into it is like throwing a handful of salt into the sea, and it immediately melts without a trace. In the end, I'm afraid there won't even be any scum left; since ancient times, it has been said that "it is easy to destroy the enemy on the battlefield, but it is difficult to destroy the bandits in the mountains." If you want to calm down this place, you have to think of another countermeasure!"

When Xiao Yi was a child, he watched a very classic bandit suppression drama, which clearly explained the difficulties of suppressing bandits in the deep mountains, and provided him with valuable theoretical experience. Therefore, bandit suppression can only be done by outsmarting, not by force!

"That's true!" Ma Liu has lived on Crouching Tiger Mountain for so long, so he naturally knows how difficult it is to find someone in the mountain. There are rocks everywhere, and it is difficult to find each other even if they are a few steps away. Beware of traps and cold arrows at all times, it is indeed enough to cause headaches. The Xuanjia Army is a hero on horseback. It is natural to be invincible when galloping on the plains. But in this ghost place, I am afraid that even the bears in the mountains can’t compare. Fighting away is a disadvantage. ah!

"Let's go, take a look at the surrounding villages; get acquainted with the local customs here!"

There is no guide to lead the way, but this is not difficult for Xiao Yi; he has lived on Crouching Tiger Mountain for several years, the slopes there are sunny, and there will be springs, which is clear at a glance; in the mountains, where there are water sources, there are basically people, this is common sense !

Sure enough, they soon found the residential area of ​​the local mountain people in a ravine. The houses were all built with rocks and scattered on the hillside in a ladder shape. They were simple and simple. Block it with wood, and some don't even have a door. Although this place is very close to the den of thieves, the people are simple and honest, and they will never steal among themselves. Therefore, there is no need for a door!

A broken iron pot, half a bag of miscellaneous grains, some dried fruits picked from the mountains, and occasionally a few slices of smoked bacon hanging on the wall, these are all the property of the mountain people!

As for the clothes, the adults were wrapped in animal skins, the children were naked at all, and none of them wore shoes. Under such a hard life, if you don't go up the mountain to become a bandit, you really have no way to survive!

People's livelihood is suffering!

Seeing a group of officers with bright armor and armed with knives and guns approaching, the mountain people all looked at them with fear. Fear of officials has been a Chinese habit for thousands of years. Even if they fall into bandits, they still fear the government in their hearts Yes, this is the inherent thinking of farming peoples; similarly, in their minds, being an official or a soldier is a career that is thousands of times more noble than being a bandit!

No one wants to be a thief all his life, even if he is born in a den of thieves, just like a plant that grows from the dark will naturally choose to face the sun. If there is a chance to bleach themselves, these people will do it with their lives.

In addition, Xiao Yi also saw something in the eyes of these mountain people - be vigilant, you don't need to ask, there must be hidden eyes and ears of mountain bandits among these people, and many of them may even be bandits themselves, because the living environment is bad Farming, being a thief at night, this is a traditional way of life for the people in mountainous areas!

Nothing to do with good or evil, just to survive!

"Send an order to call the 'Three Elders' from the surrounding mountains to meet me in the camp!" Touching his chin, Xiao Yi felt that he had found a breakthrough.

The 'Three Elders' are the respected elders among the people, and they are also their arbitrators. Since ancient times, the imperial power did not go to the countryside, and the laws of the court did not shine in these remote mountain villages. The "Three Elders" come to rule, and they have their own set of rules that have been passed down from generation to generation. For those who violate the family rules, the "Three Elders" can even directly sentence the death penalty, and no one will object.

The mountain people spread the news very quickly. When Xiao Yi returned to the camp, more than a dozen ragged old men also came. They are the local "three elders". The elders are different, here are all hideous old guys wrapped in animal skins, several of them are limping with missing arms and short legs.

From the thick hand joints and the looming scars on the bodies of these old men, it can be seen that they must have dominated the mountains and forests when they were young, and they may even be old bandits who have retired from the army!

It's not a new thing to go home and continue farming when you can't kill people. People and thieves can change their identities at will here.

"Xiaomin, please see the general!" More than a dozen retired old thieves were equally uneasy. They had also crossed the border before, either to rob food or women. What good would it be to call them here this time; they observed when they entered the camp just now. This army is well-equipped and murderous, and it is definitely not something mountain people like them can resist.

What's more, the leader of this army is the famous "Ghost Face Xiao Lang". If anyone in Shanyang County has the most famous reputation recently, it must be Xiao Yi. In Shuangshui-Xiong's family, countless fallen heads made him a "butcher, killing god", so when he came to the barracks this time, the old men all came with the determination to die.

But if you don't come, you can't do it. What if you offend this killing god and directly mobilize the army to slaughter the village?If you want to die, let these old guys die, anyway, you can live enough!

"Come on, please sit down, serve wine and meat!" Xiao Yi waved his hand, signaling for everyone to sit down.

At this time, more than a dozen old men raised their heads and glanced at the main seat, and then they all froze...

Before they came here, they had fantasized about the appearance of 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang' countless times, and they had heard countless legends outside, so the Xiao Yi in their impression should be about two feet tall, with big arms and round waist, eyes as big as copper bells, and a mouth full of blood. , cannibalism..., just compete with the legendary mountain spirit and ghost.

But they never expected that the person sitting in front of them turned out to be a very ordinary young man, with a slender figure, a little thin, and two deep dimples when he laughed. It makes no difference either!
