At the beginning of the establishment of the Heavenly Master Dao, the patriarch of the founding of the religion, Zhang, in Hanzhong, the vast Shuzhong area south of Ba County, set up the "Twenty-four Governance" to unify the people, each "governance" is located in the mountain, of which six are in Qianwei County.

The power and influence of the Heavenly Master Dao in Qianwei County is quite powerful.

Many of Peng Mo's guards were followers of the Heavenly Master's Dao.

Several heavenly masters of the Tao of sacrificial wine, mages set up altars high, in the distribution of Yu steps, burning the urn to invite God. Regardless of whether they believe in the Tao of the Heavenly Master or not, many of the generals and soldiers are dressed in Taoist talismans, and even directly use dansha to draw talismans on their faces, and put them at the battlements on the city, calling for fierce battles.

At the end of the previous Qin Dynasty, Tianshi Dao had established a **** regime in Shu, which was later destroyed by Emperor Chengwu, who was the prime minister of the Qin Dynasty at the time. Jiangnan now, but there is also a branch of the Heavenly Master Dao. Wang Yizhi, a famous scholar who believed in Huanmeng, and his clan believed in the Tao of the Heavenly Master for generations; And the Heavenly Master Dao in the south of the Yangtze River had raised troops to make a rebellion many years ago, so the Jingzhou soldiers who attacked the city were not surprised to see the attitude of the defenders.

Although so, the defenders failed to frighten the Jingzhou soldiers in momentum, but Pengmo (Pengshan) this city, said to be a city, it is better to say that it is a military fortress, its status is adjacent to the county of Qianwei County Wuyang, and the north is the capital of the Li family in Shuzhong, Chengdu, so not only the city wall is tall and strong, the defensive equipment is also very complete, and the Jingzhou soldiers attack it, it is also very difficult to fight.

The Jingzhou soldiers drove the wingmen and Di people to be meat shields.

Among the soldiers defending the city, in addition to the Tang people and the people, there were also Di people and wingmen.

The soldiers from these different races are very different in appearance.

The Tang people wore buns, the spine buns, the braided hair, and the wingmen opened their mouths, and because of the custom of chiseling teeth, two front teeth were missing on the top.

Warriors of all different races, mainly the people of the people and the Tang people.

The Tang people don't need to say much, the reason why the people are also called the banzhu barbarians, is related to their good use of the banqiao, the banqiao, that is, the shield made of wooden boards, the people are good at using bows and crossbows, like to use white bamboo to make strong bows and arrows, when the field battle, the shield marches, the arrows are like rain, when defending the city, the shield is between spears and arrows, blocking, stabbing the enemy who supports the wall. It's really brave. In the middle and late stages of the previous Qin Dynasty, they requisitioned the Ban Yu Barbarians to quell the Rong Rebellion many times, and because they were good at fighting, they were called "divine soldiers" by the Rong people, which shows how strong their combat ability is. In fact, the tradition of being brave and good at fighting has long existed, and when King Wu of Zhou was defeated, he made great achievements for King Wu.

When the battle is in full swing, the Tang soldiers who climb the city are like dumplings, they fall down one after another, the people at the head of the city are more and more courageous, bloody and kill the enemy, I don't know who started, they sang in harmony, it was actually a shield and spear staggered, the stumps were flying, washing their faces with blood, and singing loudly.

They sang the language, the Tang people couldn't understand it, but when they heard its tune, the Tang people in Shu in the city were familiar with it, and it was clearly the "Ba Ren Tune" sung by Yang Hezhi on the streets of Chengdu. This Ba Ren tune is the tune of a ballad.

Thousands of Tang soldiers, starting from the morning and besieging the city until the afternoon, Pengmo City was still as solid as a rock.

Ten miles east of the battlefield is the camp of Huanmeng's main force.

Huan Meng's soldiers and horses to cut down Shu this time, the total number of soldiers is only more than 10,000 people, and the soldiers and horses that can be used by the Li family in Shu are only around Chengdu, no less than 50,000, in order to prevent the Shu soldiers from Wuyang, Chengdu and other places to come to help, Huan Meng has no way to put all the troops into Pengmo, so he took the remaining troops and stopped to prepare for war here.

Seeing that it was almost evening, and there was no good news coming, Rao Yihuan was bold, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

The bohemian Xie Zhi no longer has a casual appearance, and the melancholy on his face is getting deeper and deeper.

Sima Wuji and other generals and colonels came to fight.

Mao Suzhi, who did not approve of Huanmeng's war in Shu, did not care about the previous suspicions that had been lightly humiliated by Zhou An, took the overall situation as the priority, took the initiative to ask for help, changed into armor, and tended to enter Huanmeng's big tent, saying: "Yesterday's military report said that more than 20,000 soldiers of Shu have been sent out of Chengdu to help Qianwei County. Ming Gong, if you can't attack Pengmo today, wait for the reinforcements from Wuyang and Zan Ding to arrive, our army is small, and the long distance is here, and the lone army is outside, and it will be dangerous! Su Zhi dared to invite thousands of elite soldiers to help Zhou Yizhou! ”

Yuan Ziqiao was present, got up and brushed his sleeves, and said, "Why do you want Mao to join the army!" Ming Gong, Ziqiao, please go to Pengmo! You don't need a single soldier, before sunset, there will be good news! ”

Huan Meng said: "Uncle Yan, don't you need a soldier? ”

Yuan Ziqiao said: "Ziqiao alone is enough! ”

On the long hall, after the ceremony, he put on a scarf and a crane and caught a fan out. Out of the tent, Yuan Ziqiao only took one person from the horse, got on the horse and hurried to Pengmo. The horse went to the battlefield, crossed the army formation, and went to Zhou An's general. Yuan Ziqiao didn't get off the horse, fanned the sky, and asked, "Can the unitary time be broken?" ”

Zhou An said: "Ban Yu is not afraid of death, he is really barbarian!" I strictly issued military orders, and those who reviewed were killed, but since then, the battle has been four hours, and the soldiers have not been given a moment of rest, and the city is still not able to go down. There is only one hour between now and unitary time, and this ....... ”

"Do you know why you fought for four hours, but you still couldn't break the city?"

"Dare to ask."

"Although the board is strong, is our army not fine? Compared with armor, how can the plate be like our army! The city is not broken, not because of the bravery, but because of the public flag, two hundred steps away from the place of battle! The soldiers fought to the death, and the public was behind, Ziqiao tried to ask the prince, the lord will spare his life so far, even if there is a strict order, how can Peng Mo break it?

"Duke Huan gave the public the heavy responsibility of attacking Peng Mo, but he didn't expect the public name to be 'An', and it was really 'An'!"

Zhou An's son Zhou Chu and grandson Zhou Ci were all on the side, and when they heard Yuan Ziqiao calling Zhou An's name, they were all stunned, drew their swords together, and looked at each other angrily.

Zhou An was ashamed and angry, his old face was black and red, and he scolded Zhou Chu and Zhou Ci: "What are you doing? Immediately ordered, said, "Move my flag!" He pointed to the head of the city where the bow and arrow could reach, and said, "There it is!" ”

The soldiers of the guards moved the flag to the position designated by Zhou An.

Yuan Ziqiao reprimanded and rejoiced, jumped off the horse, still wearing the same scarf, refused to change into armor, and said to Zhou An: "Ziqiao accompanies the father, and watch my Jingzhou man kill and break the city together!" ”

The arrows on the city were shot and scattered near Yuan Ziqiao and Zhou An, one of them looked as usual, and the other was as black as iron, both of them were unmoved.

Zhou An drank his son and said, "Chu! Thou shalt pull out the city for me and Yuan Xiang! ”

Zhou Chu promised, that is, he led more than 100 soldiers and soldiers to the front line.

Zhou An was nominated by Yuan Ziqiao for the surname of Dao, and was insulted, Zhou Chu's heart was full of anger, and when he arrived at the city, he did not avoid the enemy's arrows, commanded the city, and climbed first.

Before he could climb halfway, a piece of wood rolled down from the head of the city and smashed on him.

Zhou An and Yuan Ziqiao watched him fall to the ground.

Several of Zhou Chu's personal soldiers grabbed Zhou Chu's body, ran back, put Zhou Chu down, knelt in front of Zhou An, and shouted: "Lang Jun died in battle!" ”

Zhou An held back his grief and shouted: "My military order: Reviewer beheaded!" Do you dare to violate my military orders? "Kill!" ”

The soldiers were shocked and said: "The villain is to snatch back Lang Jun for the general, and they are worried that the wood and rolling stones will damage Lang Jun's body!" ”

Zhou An said angrily: "Duke Huan gave me a big responsibility, Peng Mo is not guilty, it is not a pity for me to die, let alone a son!" Dead is dead, what to rob? Kill! ”

The left and right armor soldiers stepped forward, pressed down these Zhou Chu's personal soldiers, and beheaded them on the spot.

Zhou An didn't look at Zhou Chu who was lying on the ground, and Gu Ling Zhou said: "Your father was killed by a thief!" Won't you avenge your father? ”

Zhou Ci's eyes were red, tears rolled down, without saying a word, he took dozens of soldiers, raised his sword and ran to Pengmo City.

The main general is on the arrow stone, the father and son fight one after another, the morale of the Jingzhou soldiers is greatly boosted, and in less than half an hour, Peng Mo Chengke.

Zhou An went to see his son at this time, and when he put his hand between his nose, he felt that he still had a snort.

Yuan Ziqiao immediately ordered to prepare the car, put Zhou Chu in the car, and personally escorted him to Huanmeng's military camp to treat him.

When Huan Meng saw Zhou Chu, he didn't ask about the battle situation first, while urging the military doctor to treat, with tears in his eyes, he sighed with Sima Wuji and others, and said: "The sons of Zhou Yizhou, Chu is the most handsome, Yizhou often says to me, those who are good at the Zhou family must be this son!" Leaning over and stroking Zhou Chu's cheeks with his eyes closed, he called Zhou Chu's words, choked up and said, "Yuansun, Yuansun, if Qingru dies because of this, how can I face my father again!" ”

……

Hanzhong, Chuyang, White Horse City.

Gao Yancao touched his chin and stared blankly at the city ramparts for a long time.

The general asked, "General, what are you looking at?" ”

"Who is the defender of this city?"

"Nameless rats!"

"It's a bit of a strategy. I feinted twice and he refused to go out of the city to chase after me. Gao Yancao looked at the White Horse City Wall from afar, looked at it twice, made a decision, and said, "Damn it! Then we won't fight this city! ”

"Where's that? Xile City? ”

"Xile can't. Xile is on the east mountain, it is too difficult to fight, even if it feints, it will cause a lot of casualties to our troops. Don't go around the bend anymore, let's go to Yang City! Gao Yancao galloped back, ran for a while, and asked Congqi, "Is there any news from Yuanguang?" ”

Congqi replied: "Since entering the mountain a few days ago, there has been no news until this time. ”

"This monkey cub, it can't be lost, right?"

……

In a mountain west of the city.

And Qu Yuanguang and four or five followers, lying in a shrub, peeped at the dozens of dry bars in the open space in front of them.

Ganlan is the name of the wingman's house.

The bureaucrats like to live in the mountains and forests, so their dwellings are divided into two floors according to the building blocks of trees, connected by stairs, and the upper floors of livestock, chickens, dogs, cows and horses are lowered. There are large and small dry columns, and those with few families are smaller, and those with more are larger. The roof is covered with thatch, leaves, bark, etc.; The walls are mainly made of wood and bamboo, and are not painted; Braided bamboo or paved bamboo wood for the floor. The furnishings in the room are very simple, there are no tables, chairs and beds, only a cowhide as a mat, and the sittings and sleeping are on it. In addition to the kitchen, there are no partitions, where men, women and children gather. The cooking utensils in the kitchen are also very simple, a three- or four-foot square board, spread bamboo frames, put ashes in the middle to make a fire, and cook with a stone pot.

The two men were now sitting on the ground under the railing, each holding a cup-like pottery with a tube planted on the upper side of the pottery, like a bottle spout. The two men were not using their mouths, but with the liquor in the nose suction device. This is called "nose drinking", which is the custom of the wingmen.

The three women squatted next to them to feed the chickens and dogs, all wearing skirts like buckets, their hair hanging down in a bun, and on their ears, they all wore three-inch bamboo tubes diagonally as earrings. One of the women had two pearl-like things hanging from her earbuds.

Yuan Guang looked at it for a long time, and then said in a low voice: "That woman has pearls on her ear tube, and this family member seems to be rich." The old rule is that the man is mine, and his property is yours. ”

Four or five followers promised.

Several people with knives bent down from the bushes, touched the outside of the dry fence, and rushed out with shouts. The men of the two wingmen were caught off guard, and before they could resist, they were captured and fell to the ground. The remaining three women, the elder in his thirties, the younger one was only in his teens, and they were not the opponents of several strong men such as Yuanguang, and they were all arrested soon.

Tie these wingmen with ropes and string them into a line, and Yuanguang's entourage went to the dry pen to loot the goods.

Yuanguang stayed outside alone.

One of the wingmen couldn't stop shouting.

Yuanguang didn't understand the bureaucratic language, but he was wandering around in the mountains these days, first catching monkeys, and then catching bureaucrats, and he had met many men and women of bureaucrats, and after listening to them talk a lot, he could guess the meaning of a few words.

The man's initial name was "Po Neng", which means "ghost master" and "king", and then "Langhuo", which means "master" and "head man", these two random screams should be this man intimidating Yuan Guang and others, saying that his king and head man will come to save them; When the man shouted "Ayi", his voice turned poignant, with pleading, and his eyes moved between Yuanguang and the woman with pearls on the eartube, probably begging Yuanguang to let this woman and his wife go.

Yuan Guang looked at the man expressionlessly and shouted.

Suddenly sorrow arose from my heart.

He thought: "Lao Tzu was born with a strange state, but he couldn't lead the people to prosperity, so he had no choice but to be a slave to Xin Agua, and now he was bullied by Gao Yancao's dog thing, and he was reduced to catching monkeys in the mountains, and he was in the company of such savages!" Since God gave birth to my Yuanguang, why did I be so sleepy! Isn't it enough to be tested again and again? God! How many times are you going to test me? Sniffing horse dung in the camp before, now hearing wild words here! ”

Yuan Guang stepped in front of the man, slashed him by the neck, and killed him.

The entourage gained a lot, came out of the dry bar, saw the slain wingmen, and ignored them as usual, without asking any questions, escorted the remaining four wingmen, and retreated the way they came. Return to the departure point. There are a total of 20 Lu Shuihu people who followed Yuanguang to catch monkeys, and the others are waiting here, and there are 30 golden snub-nosed monkeys and more than 10 wingmen who have been caught.

Yuanguang pinched his fingers and calculated, it had been seven or eight days since he entered the mountain.

He said, "The monkeys and wingmen are almost caught, and I can go back to the errand." ”

An entourage said: "My lord, the villain heard that the price of the golden monkey and the wingman in Shu and Qinzhou is very expensive, and many nobles and heroes are showing off the golden haired monkey and the slave and the maid, why don't we catch more?" When you go back, sell it to them! ”

As he spoke, he took out two dried skins from his arms, which were the seizures he had captured when he attacked the wingmen before, and continued, "Although the wingmen are brutal, the craftsmanship of making leather is good, look at these two skins, they are well tanned, the beard is clear, and it is said that there are also rich people who are rare and can sell this thing for a great price!" "Anyone who has a beautiful beard and is killed by the wingmen will have their faces peeled off by the wingmen, made into this thing, and put them in bamboo cages, which is a kind of show of force, and may also be used by the bureaucrats to ward off evil spirits.

Yuanguang's face sank so much that he could almost condense water, he held back his anger and said, "Am I Qu Yuanguang a monkey seller and a slave seller!" Is it a person who is greedy for money and small profits? Are you comparing me to An Chong's Western Regions Hu? ”

The attendant sneered and said, "An Chong, that guy, of course can't be compared with adults. ”

"Don't talk nonsense! Come back with me now! ”
