More than a month later, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, took Beiping as the base, and in the name of "Qingjun side, Yasukuni is difficult", he told the world and began a battle for power with his nephew Emperor Jianwen. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In May of the fourth year of Jianwen, Zhu Di led the Yan army to break through the defense line of the Huai River, cross the Huai River, capture Yangzhou, Gaoyou, Tongzhou, Taizhou and other important places, and prepare to cross the Yangtze River by force and go straight to Beijing.

At the foot of Culai Mountain outside Tai'an City, Zhu Gaoxu, the son of King Yan, was lightly dressed, and a group of several people were riding up the mountain with gifts. Zhu Gaoxu was thinking about how to persuade him with both hard and soft on this trip, and couldn't help but recall the scene in his father's tent yesterday.

"The high walls of Jingshi City are strong, and a hard attack will cause too many casualties, so we must find a way to combine the inside and the outside." King Yan looked at the map and wrinkled his eyebrows and said.

"Father, Tian Da and Wang Yougui, the two gang leaders on the original rivers and lakes recruited by Erchen, maybe some of the gang members can be internal in Jingshi City." Zhu Gaoxu replied.

"Oh, hurry up and summon them in, it may be a shortcut to take advantage of the people in the rivers and lakes." King Yan's eyes lit up and said.

Not long after, Tian Da and Wang Yougui walked into the tent, and after respectfully saluting, Zhu Gaoxu explained the meaning of inquiry.

After hearing this, Tian Da and Wang Yougui hesitated: "The two of us are small gangs, and there are about twenty or thirty people in Jingshi City, and now the inventory is very strict, and it is difficult to place people in large quantities to enter it, I am afraid that it will not be able to attack." ”

Wang Yougui saw that King Yan had a disappointed look on his face, and thought that it would be rare for the two of them to see King Yan once, but it was difficult to stand up for an inch when they saw it, and he was despised by others, so he hurriedly added: "But it would be nice if one person was willing to help." ”

"Who?" King Yan asked.

"The leader of the Dragon and Phoenix Gang, Ling Xiaohan. He has a large number of helpers, and there are many in the Jingshi. And most of the gangs around Shandong listen to him. It's just that we tried to win him over, but it didn't work. Tian Da also hurriedly responded.

"Dragon and Phoenix Gang, Ling Xiaohan, where is it?" King Yan asked.

With this question, Tian Da and Wang Yougui unconsciously looked embarrassed again. It is difficult to answer with your mouth open.

"Wandering Mountain, Taipingding." An old voice replied.

Tian Da and Wang Yougui followed the sound and saw that it was a monk sitting next to King Yan, with triangular eyes, shaped like a sick tiger, and it turned out to be the famous military advisor Daoyan monk.

"Oh, the master knows this person too?" Yan Wang became more and more interested.

"The poor monk had a friend with his father, and he was also a poor monk. His grandfather was the first tiger general under Mao Gui of the Red Turban Army, resourceful, brave and good at fighting. Mao Gui entrenched in Shandong for many years, with great influence, was named the Pingzhang of Yidu Province by Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, but was later killed by his old boss Zhao Jun for power and profit. At this time, Ling Xiaohan's grandfather was on an expedition to Liaoyang, and after getting this news, the general of the Lipai faction continued to return to Shandong from Haidao and killed Zhao Junyong in Yidu. Later, they fought against each other with Zhao, and the areas of Yidu and Jinan fell into a chaotic state of attack by various Red Turban armies with different numbers.

After Taizu pacified the world, he strictly forbade the Ming Sect and the Red Turban Army, and they turned into major gangs. But the Dragon and Phoenix Gang founded by Ling Xiaohan's grandfather is the largest, and the Dragon and Phoenix use the year name of King Xiao Ming, and most of its gangs hide their identities in the market and spread in all walks of life. Its headquarters is to prevent extermination, and it is also hidden and difficult to find. Dao Yan said in detail.

"I see, after the original is also a famous general, talent is rare, and the master may persuade him to serve us, and he must be reused." King Yan asked eagerly, and his love for talent was great.

"Lao Wei repaired a letter, and the two gang leaders of Xiangtian and Wang also had a great friendship with Ling Xiaohan, and it was troublesome to run again, whether it was successful or not, it was just a matter of doing its best." Dao Yan said.

"Yes", Tian Da and Wang Yougui hurriedly responded, and at the same time showed gratitude to Dao Yan, not only saving their face, but also giving them a chance to make meritorious contributions.

"Father, it's better for the son to take them there in person, to show the affection of Corporal Lixian and the importance of Father." Zhu Gaoxu also hurriedly asked for help.

Seeing that the overall situation of the war has been decided, Zhu Gaoxu has already begun to quietly plan the overall situation of his post-war crown prince in the next step, and he will not let go of any opportunity to recruit talents.

"Okay, it's best for Xu'er to take a trip." King Yan said approvingly.

"If they don't want to vote, they also hope that His Royal Highness can give Lao Wei a thin face, forgive, open the net, and the rivers and lakes are chivalrous, and they are used to being loose and free. You can't be friends, and you don't have to make enemies. Dao Yan pleaded.

"The master can rest assured that he will not fail in his mission." Zhu Gaoxu replied, thinking to himself, the high-ranking officials promised each other, and there was still a gift that could not be achieved, and seeing the sincere and frightened appearance of Tian Da and Wang Yougui around him, he had a few more chances of winning.

The sound of an arrow "whoosh" suddenly disturbed Zhu Gaoxu's thoughts. Diancang Sanjian hurriedly surrounded him from behind. Tian Da turned his head and comforted; "Your Highness, don't be alarmed, this is the interrogation warning of the sentry on the mountain." Then, he made a gesture in the direction of the incoming arrow, and the leader continued to walk.

After walking forward for a while, a flat ground appeared, and from a cave behind the tree, several croppers emerged, interrogating the intentions, Tian Da revealed his identity, and said that he asked to see the helper. The men took the horses, and fired a different sounding feather arrow in a direction high ahead, and then one led them further up the hill.

Further up, the mountain is so steep that it is indeed impossible to ride a horse, but only on foot. Again, after three secret whistles, he finally came to the highest peak of Culai Mountain, Taipingding. "The autumn waves fall in Surabaya, the sea color is bright and wandering", it really deserves its name, there are Dawen River on both sides of the west and north, there is Xiaowen River in the south, surrounded by water on three sides, and the mountains and rivers reflect each other. All the way to the peaks and peaks, the cliffs are in the clouds, there are not only deep and tactful canyons, streams connected by pools and waterfalls, dense mountain forests, but also lonely peaks that go straight into the clouds, caves with purple glow and strange stones of different shapes.

"The cloud cliff slides to the horse, and the Luo Path returns to the people", I don't want the war to be raging outside, and the corpses are everywhere, but here is such a quiet and beautiful scenery, what a paradise, Zhu Gaoxu can't help but feel stunned, and he is tired of raising a sword and whipping it.

The mountain is high and divides into four seasons, and the weather in May makes it a little cold on the mountain. To the top of the Taiping, you can see the whole picture of Culai Mountain, but see the twin peaks on its peak, the old pine covers it, the peaks and peaks in the distance, the valley is deep, there is both the magnificent and majestic of the north, and the beauty of the elegance and charm of the south of the Yangtze River. In the distance, there is a large flat land, a large courtyard, revealing more than a dozen stone houses, and there are still vegetables, flowers and fruits around it.

"I didn't expect this to be where the Dragon and Phoenix Gang is, I don't know if I thought it was a farmhouse or a hermit living here?" Zhu Gaoxu originally thought that a big gang should have strong barriers and mighty momentum, but he didn't want it to be an idyllic scene, but he was surprised, and said softly to Tian Da.

This should be the place where the five of their righteous brothers and their families lived, and the brothers on the mountain who lived in the caves were less than thirty. Deep in the mountains, it is impossible to maintain too many people and horses, they are skilled and bold, and there is no need for high walls and deep courtyards. Tian Da explained.

After speaking, has walked to a building, there is a huge stone in front of the gatehouse, seems to be used for the shadow wall, engraved Tang Dynasty hermit Wang Xiyi's "Wang Savage Poem" a poem "Wandering under the mountain is my home, absorbing the dew and lying in the purple glow." For hundreds of years, there has been nothing to do, and the court seat is facing the old pine flower. "It adds a bit of elegance to the majesty.
