After Qian Dajun led his troops to retreat south, Wang Jun ordered Lai Shicong to lead two regiments to continue to guard Dukou Village, and then left a main regiment he brought, called Coordinated Defense, but in fact, it was to supervise Lai Shicong and prevent him from slipping back early.

Wang Jun then anxiously led his main army to Fengcheng, a strategic location in the northern part of the central Jiangxi hills, to prevent the sinister and cunning Zheng Yi from leading 3,000 outlaws to attack Nanchang by surprise.

Lai Shicong is really unlucky, the eldest brother Lai Shihuang led the 14th Army in Shanghai, and wrote that he was bullied and excluded by the Gui family, and told himself not to offend the powerful cross-river dragon Zhu Peide, Lai Shicong could only lead a few regiments of hometown children to stay in the rear, and it was just called by Zhu Peide, the cross-river dragon, and even Zhu Peide's generals did not give him any face.

In the case that his arms couldn't twist his thighs, Lai Shicong could only swallow his anger and wait for the coming day, except for holding back his resentment.

Limited to Wang Jun's order, Lai Shicong ordered the brothers to build fortifications facing the western mountain pass, and distributed around with a regiment left by Wang Jun, and began to wait for the rabbit.

However, after three consecutive days and three nights of strict defense, there was still no movement, and the food and drink were gone, and the opium \ pieces brought by him were also exhausted.

Looking at the Dian army that was slipping north, Lai Shihuang, who was under great pressure, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately led the two regiments under his command to retreat north quickly in less than half an hour, marched ten miles and turned eastward, and directly took the path back to Guixi, the old nest, and was no longer willing to meet the hot-tempered Dian army.

Who knew that not half a day after Lai Shicong's department left, Lu Donghan, the chief of the Yihuang Police Department and the head of the militia group, led more than 600 ragged regiments out of the mountain pass.

After repeated interrogation, he learned that the first to withdraw from the north and south armies were led by the famous Qian Dajun and Wang Jun respectively.

……

……

Late the next night, the dilapidated Taoist temple on the mountainside at the southern foot of Jinhua Mountain was brightly lit.

The Taoist temple is surrounded by a series of grass huts temporarily erected by the instructors and soldiers, along the mountain flat land more than 10 meters wide and more than 100 meters long, all the way to the heads of the six families in the west.

In the main hall of the Taoist temple, there were neatly stacked ammunition boxes, Zheng Yi's division headquarters could only be set up under two towering ancient trees in the front yard, and Li Zhao, Han Shouren, Wang Huchen and others, who were so cold that they were draped in blankets, carried a few stone slabs from the outside and sat around the large square table made of empty ammunition boxes.

Xu Maofu, the commander of the guard platoon, was still wearing a thin military uniform, busy boiling water and making tea for several old brothers, and Zheng Yi slowly chewed the boiled peanuts left over from dinner one by one, and repeatedly checked the map under the two bright horse lanterns.

Wang Huchen took a cold shower in the Qingtan below in the evening, and his nose was a little stuffy at the moment, and he muttered quietly while wiping his nose:

"After leaving Huilongshan, I was confused for a day, and I walked further and further south, if I hadn't met these She hunters, I don't know how many unjust roads I would have to take tomorrow."

Zheng Yi pointed to the west side of Jinhua Mountain, where the march route and two streams had just been marked: "It is a lot of detours, and today I have been following the winding stream until the exit of this dense forest with a radius of two kilometers in the southeast of Jinhua Mountain, the distance is about fifteen kilometers, but this road is not a wrong road, but a correct road!" ”

"You see, from the southern foot of Jinhua Mountain where we are located to Ji'an in the west, the straight-line distance is about 80 kilometers, and the distance from Le'an County in the north is about 43 kilometers.

"Although our location is surrounded by mountains, with lush forests within a radius of 30 kilometers, infested with wild beasts, and few households, there are already roads, and we will not get lost in the future."

The spirits of the brothers were greatly lifted, and Li Zhao hurriedly asked, "So, you can speed up the march tomorrow?" ”

The brothers immediately looked at Zheng Yi, who shook his head and made a shocking decision: "No! Stop moving forward for a moment and rest for a few days. ”

"Early tomorrow morning, you will prepare a gift for me, I will take me to visit a few hunters in person, if I am lucky, the more than 100 brothers who have not recovered from their injuries can stay in this far away place of the high mountain emperor to recuperate, and by the way, establish the first base of our mentor!"

……

……

The morning light rises, everything revives, and the vast and lofty Jinhua Mountain is shrouded in a misty mist.

After Zheng Yi finished washing, he squatted on the edge of Qingtan more than 20 meters below the Taoist temple, carefully observed the clear water surface with a radius of ten meters and a depth of about one meter and a half, and looked at the spring water flowing down the mountain on the left, and looked at it without knowing where the water source of Qingtan came from.

"What do you think?"

After washing his face, political commissar Li Zhao came to Zheng Yi's side.

Zheng Yi slowly stood up: "Lao Li, tell me, where does the sweet spring water in this Qingtan come from?" ”

Li Zhao replied easily: "I thought you were thinking about something...... Most of the clear pools in the mountains are formed by the convergence of spring water, the spring water flows bright and dark, like the clear pool in front of us, the spring is either at the bottom of the water, or under the moss-covered boulders, but we don't have time to jump down and look for it. ”

"If you still can't figure it out, look up at the mountains behind the Taoist temple, look at the dense forest that has grown for thousands of years under the white mist stone wall, and think about the waterfall we saw on the eastern side of the mountain yesterday afternoon."

Zheng Yi nodded frequently: "Hearing you say this, I can understand that this place is like a fairyland on earth, a paradise, and a place where immortals live!" Do you feel the same way? ”

Li Zhao immediately understood that Zheng Yi turned the corner to ask for his opinion, and couldn't help but feel depressed: "Is it okay to say something directly?" Do you need to pretend to be stupid like this? ”

Zheng Yi laughed, pulled Li Zhao after laughing, and climbed the stone steps together to return to the Broken Daoist Temple: "Later, you will accompany me to visit the six hunters, Lao Han and Huchen can't prepare those gifts, we have to change them, pick out six Hanyang weapons in good condition from the captured weapons, and then carry a bag of salt." ”

Li Zhao was taken aback: "It doesn't matter if there are six Hanyang rifles, a bag of salt is fifty catties!" We have less than ten bags left of our 3,000 people, can we use so much? ”

Zheng Yi explained as he walked: "This Jiangxi Province is not near the sea, and there is no salt pond salt mine, unlike Bashu and your Jin Province, which are never short of salt, ordinary people have a pound of salt every month, even if they have a good life, and people in the mountains are even rarer......"

"These six hunters live alone on this big mountain, and the surrounding high and low reclaimed mountains add up to less than 20 acres, except for carrying the skins of wild beasts and mushrooms and bamboo shoots collected in the mountains, and walking more than 20 miles of mountain roads over the mountains to the western towns to exchange salt, cloth and other necessities, I can't think of any other source for them."

"Especially salt, people who don't eat salt for ten days and a half will get sick, the whole body is weak, and the hands and feet are swollen, so giving salt is definitely a big gift...... Since it's a gift, why don't we just be generous? ”

"In a few days, the Taoist temple will be repaired, and then dozens of acres of mountainous land will be opened, and we will have to leave this place with the materials that we can't take away, and rush to the Hunan and Jiangxi border areas to find the party organization, and the more than 100 injured brothers left behind will have to rely on people's help."

Li Zhao thought of the injured brothers who had been injured again and again, as well as the two boxes of Western medicine that had used up most of them, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh:

"You are right, since we have to leave more than 100 wounded behind, and we have to take this opportunity to establish our revolutionary base area, we have to walk hundreds of miles to the Hunan and Jiangxi border areas, maybe we will have to fight a battle while walking, and the wounded will only increase and not decrease at that time, alas!"

Half an hour later, Zheng Yi and Li Zhao were neatly dressed, led a few guards, and brought six new Hanyang rifles, 600 rounds of ammunition and a bag of salt, to the front of the most spacious wooden house among the six hunters, and reported three times in a row that there was no response, and the closed door was not opened.

I heard movement in the door, but I couldn't see a single figure.

In desperation, Zheng Yi and Li Zhao neatly placed six rifles and six packs of ammunition on the stone ridge in front of the door, put a bag of salt fifty catties in front of the closed door, silently returned to the road to watch the wounded, and then held a meeting to determine the list of personnel and the number of materials left.
