In the many Yimeng Mountains in Yizhou, there is a mountain that is not famous but has a very peculiar shape, called the Brokeback Mountain.

This mountain is actually two lonely peaks that are not connected, separated by four or five hundred meters, and there is a river hundreds of meters wide in the middle, but it seems that the original lone peak was split in half by the god from the sky with great power and axe, the opposite side of the two peaks is like splitting, all of them are flat and proportionate cliffs, not an inch of grass grows, the vine is not long, not to mention people, even the ape who is good at climbing also does not want to climb up, the two mountains are one and the whole looks far away, and it is very much like a giant sitting on his knees and being split in half from the top of his head and back, Therefore, the locals are accustomed to call it the Brokeback Mountain, that is, the Brokeback Mountain.

This peculiar shape, about its formation, naturally in ancient times there are also a variety of beautiful or terrible myths and legends.

Some say that this lonely peak was originally an ancient witch who fought bravely against the brutal gods for the benefit of mankind, and was unwilling to give in after the lonely and heroic battle, and the corpse turned into a standing mountain, but it was further retaliated by the gods, who split it in half but did not completely destroy it, and kept a terrible shape to stand there forever to warn the humans who refused to give in and wanted to resist.

Some say that Lone Peak was originally a powerful but evil god, who was punished by the heavens for his sins, cut in half and turned into a mountain, in order to deter the gods who wanted to cause trouble.

There are also aspects that involve the people's favorite mythological love, love, and love.

For example, Lone Feng was originally a brave and handsome young god who was infatuated with the beloved daughter of the Emperor of Heaven, but his love was angrily opposed by the Emperor of Heaven, and was beaten into the mortal world and punished as a mountain, and it was also divided into two halves. But this god is undoubtedly a strong-willed seed of infatuation, still standing in the mortal world, unforgivable, undoubtedly a stubborn seed who does not realize and dies without repentance, and would rather live forever as a mountain, suffering from ruthless wind, rain, thunder and thunder year after year, and suffering from the trampling, filth and bite of birds, beasts, insects and ants in the mortal world.......

For example, another version of the opposite, Gu Feng was originally a god with extraordinary divine power and outstanding skills, won the love of the emperor and the affectionate love of the emperor, and was honored to marry the intelligent, beautiful and virtuous emperor, but this god did not know what to do, he liked the demon girl, abandoned the emperor, and became a negative man.......

These two undoubtedly reflect the criticism of the people, and the former criticism is the domineering, arrogant and murderous of the rulers...... The latter are naturally all kinds of ungrateful people who are scolded.

The water is not deep, and if there is a dragon, it will be spiritual; The mountain is not high, and there is a fairy name.

There are many myths and legends, the altitude is only three or four hundred meters, and the scenery is also generally like the Broken Back Mountain in the local area has also been famous, the mountain naturally appeared born practitioners, the interesting thing is that a mountain is a Taoist temple, and the opposite mountain is the temple of the Buddha and monks, the sworn enemy of the Taoist Gate.

The vicissitudes of the sea, the changes of the sun and the moon, the river between the two lonely peaks is a vivid example of what happened in front of us.

Only a few years ago, the river was a large river, and although the terrain was flat and not very deep, the river was wide enough to cover all the ground between the two peaks, and at that time, the two opposite mountains were not in the water. This river leads to Yishui, is one of the tributaries of the big river Yishui River, is naturally the convenient artery of Yizhou water transportation, is also a good fishing ground for fishermen, the river has sails and shadows come and go endlessly, the fishing boats ripple in the meantime, there are many people by the river and the merchant canal is good, the river always floats with fishing songs and sings late, a good picture of the world.

But for some reason, the flow of this wide river suddenly dropped almost overnight, and it became so that it could no longer carry large transport ships, and the rich fishing grounds disappeared, the merchants on both sides of the river disappeared, and the vast watered fertile fields no longer existed, and the rich land became the most common living place in the Yimeng Mountains in a blink of an eye.

Correspondingly, the Taoist temples and temples that have been fiercely competing on the Brokeback Mountain for many years have been prosperous from incense, and both sides have quickly fallen from the prosperity of incense to the cold of the courtyard, and it is difficult to do business. But the people around are still there, the incense of the two peaks can barely be maintained, although there are a lot of Taoist monks including famous monks, but the mountain is still a wonderful place for Yizhou monks with vast houses.

It's just that with the increasing rule of the Song Dynasty, Yizhou Zhizhou has been replaced by Gao Yu's cousin Gao Feng, who does not learn and has no skills, but is greedy and cunning, and he is a good hand at exploiting and abusing the people, knocking on the bone and sucking the marrow for several years, the people are becoming more and more miserable, that is, the landlords and gentry, if they don't have enough background and family background, they can't resist it, and they can't take care of their own days, and the incense money and food dedicated to the Taoist temple are naturally decreasing day by day, and few people from other places come hereNot to mention that the incense competition between the two mountains is fierce to be called tragic, there are fights from time to time, you live and die, even their internal contradictions are becoming more and more numerous, twists and turns, repeated internal strife and splits, Taoist monks quickly scattered, and they have shifted their positions under the leadership of the leading brother to seek to be the Buddha and the Taoist master.

But there are still many monks who are still staying and persisting, relying on the many people and fields here, there are far fewer people who open their mouths to eat, and their lives can still be maintained.

But such a free day did not last a few days.

The Song Dynasty first had a wave of emigration and defection, and lost more than 20 million people at once, and the people here really couldn't stand the increasingly rampant exploitation and abuse of corrupt officials up and down the Yizhou government, and they couldn't stand the inevitable deterioration of social security.

When people are panicking, there is a way out and hope in the field, and the already poor people here will naturally not waste money and food to worship Taoist temples for guidance or prayers, plus Zhao Yue's robber army destroyed the rule of more than a dozen state capitals in Shandong, during which many military ruffians took the opportunity to do evil, and were pursued by the new government and had to defect with money, hiding in their hometown but not standing, they fled to Yizhou, which has complex terrain and is good to live, spontaneously gathered into a group of bandits and robbers, and Yizhou Zhizhou Gaofeng is such a bastard official who only cares about sitting in the city as an official and exploiting the people, Regardless of the danger of robbers borne by the people, there are heavy soldiers and fierce generals under his hands, but they never send troops to suppress bandits, forcing the people of Yizhou who do not want to move away to flee in large numbers for their lives.

At first, the monk's side couldn't hold on, and finally all the stars dispersed, the mountain was empty, and there was no people at all, only the houses that could not be moved were lonely and barren in the mountain wind.

Then there was another break, and the Taoist priests on the back mountain also left, but not all of them.

There are still a few Taoist leaders who remain behind.

These Taoist masters and apprentices have medical skills, on the one hand, they can earn some money for the local people to see a doctor, such as grain, cloth, salt, and other daily necessities, and on the other hand, they can do their own efforts to plant some crops and vegetables on the ownerless fields under the mountain.

Of course, when the troubled times come, bandits are rampant in Yizhou, and such a quiet and calm life will definitely not last a few days.

Soon, some rebel bandits set their sights on the ready-made houses on Brokeback Mountain, and wandered over to occupy the almost ready-made cottages.

The temple naturally fell into the hands of thieves and became a den of thieves, and the sacred Buddha Bodhisattva Vajra Heavenly King enshrined in the temple ....... Silently like accompanying the robbers to eat and drink the wine and meat that they have committed murder and evil, silently watching the bandits bullying and humiliating the robbed women in front of the statue.......

On the other side of the mountain, a few of the remaining Taoist chiefs couldn't stay, relying on swordsmanship and force to fight with the robbers who came to seize the mountain, at first it was okay, killed a few bandit leaders, and scared away other small number of robbers and bandits, but then I heard that more and more robbers were gathering from the wandering bandits, and they couldn't beat them, so they had to leave the Taoist temple and hurry away.

Since then, the mountain of Brokeback has completely become a den of robbers.

The people in the neighborhood were out of luck.

The robbers also know that they can't fish with all their might.

Although the officers and soldiers suddenly became robbers, they simply let go of their ferocious nature and did evil, and they also tasted the sweetness from it, and since then they have not been bound by laws, social rules, etc., and have become people who are not tolerated by the court and society. So that the people here are not too scared and simply flee, so that there will be no sustainable targets.

However, the banditry situation in Yizhou then changed fundamentally, and suddenly two powerful figures who were also rebels and their cronies and subordinates followed.

They are two of the thirteen Taibao who were known as the rampant town on the Snake Horn Ridge in the past: Wang Jun, the second fox wolf, and Hao, the third evil tiger.

These two guys are arrogant and cunning and tough people, although they worship the unicorn Jiao Qin will be the boss when they are in Snake Horn Ridge, in fact, they have always been unconvinced, high force is only one aspect, the key is not to be subordinate, they just want to be the boss themselves, because there are old subordinates of officers and soldiers who have settled down in Brokeback Mountain as thieves, and contact them to sit in charge, just when Song Jiang appeared, when Song Jiang appeared, he saw that the Snake Horn Ridge gang was designated as unable to keep it, and it would be annexed by Song Jiang and betrayed decisively, rolled up his belongings, and ran here with his cronies to become the king.

At that time, among the officers and soldiers who took advantage of the robber army in Shandong and took the opportunity to do evil, there were not many officers with higher local ranks, and the officials knew the benefits of being officials, and they were reluctant to lose the benefits of the future. Even Liu Yanguo, a county lieutenant who is not very capable, can be one of the fundamental reasons why he can be a cottage master.

The same is true of the rebel bandits here in Yizhou.

After the fox wolf Wang Jun and the evil tiger Hao arrived at the Broken Back Mountain, they became the boss, but they did not have enough manpower, one was not majestic enough, and the other was that the ability to protect themselves was too poor, so they were naturally unwilling to go on like this, and with their high strength and the old troops they followed, they began to subdue the rebels and indigenous bandits scattered all over Yizhou from small to large.......

Today, the area around Brokeback Mountain is no longer what it used to be.

Almost all the rebels who absconded to Yizhou gathered here, with a total of tens of thousands of people, which can be called a huge force, even if Zhizhou Gaofeng is willing to lead the Yizhou army to conquer and suppress, it may not be an opponent.

But the mountain of the broken back is a lonely peak, not very big, the mountain is not flat, only entrenched in one of them can not accommodate so many robbers, naturally divided in two halves, Wang Jun, Hao are unwilling to go down, when they first came, they had to work together to gain a foothold and subdue the robbers everywhere, and they could unite and coexist, once it became a climate, it was naturally not good, and it was naturally divided into two parts, respectively, occupying the Taoist Peak and the temple peak opposite, each with a group of brothers to be their own boss, but the two were very smart, and they did not turn their faces into enemies, and they made a good gathering and dispersed, and agreed to be their own kings. They went out to loot and enjoy, and divided the looting territory, echoing each other from afar when there was a difficulty, and jointly dealing with the officers and soldiers to suppress or other major dangers.

With such a friendly and harmonious relationship, both sides have been very happy in Brokeback Mountain.

Fox wolf Wang Jun and evil tiger Hao did not regret that they had committed evil and violated the law for a while and lost their future as officers.

They are officials in the system, they know the officialdom very well, and they understand the system and disadvantages of the Great Song Dynasty, and they know that they are from an ordinary background and the lowly status of a martial artist who is despised by scholars and doctors and is deliberately suppressed everywhere.

Being a petty officer is sweet, it is comfortable, but the taste of being angry is not easy to bear, it is not easy to suck some soldier blood and some money, and most of them have to respect their superiors, one can not take care of it, not only is the official position gone, but the small life may not be guaranteed, they feel that they have extraordinary ability and intelligence, and this is also the case, otherwise in history, they would not be able to be the top general of the Yuejia army.

Yue Fei's army, it is full of talents, the generals are all capable of fighting, there is no bear, and it is not an ordinary person to be an ordinary general in the Yue family's army.

has ability, ambition, can't stand it, and is unwilling to be subordinate, but the more angry they are in the Song military system, the more difficult it is to be promoted and get out of the way, and the more hopeless they are, the more they are not angry, unwilling, and extreme. Coincidentally, he rebelled and became a bandit, well, finally he doesn't have to be angry, he can do whatever he wants, and he can finally act as wantonly as the big people in Zhizhou in the past....... Being a robber king is much more comfortable than being an official soldier, so I don't regret it.

betrayed Snake Horn Ridge and ran to Yizhou to establish himself as the king, and they will not regret it.

But now, in their hearts, they are deeply remorseful.

regretted that he should not have lost his mind and participated in murder and robbery with the rebellious soldiers, and became a criminal army, but had to lose his official body and become a robber and go to a dead end.

When troubled times come, martial artists with real skills will become popular and promising. The scholars and doctors who only have sharp mouths can't deal with the swords and soldiers, and no matter how reluctant they are, they are forced by the situation to give in to the lowly warriors and even bow their heads. It was not a dream for them to be such lowly and high-ranking officials, but at that time they did not see this bright prospect and did not hold on.

What's worse is that this year there was a great turmoil of pirates, and only the families in this area of Brokeback Mountain, whether they were the remaining landlords and gentry, or ordinary people, fled, or defected overseas or fled to the coastal open land to grab ownerless land and real estate...... There are absolutely no people in the surrounding area for nearly ten or twenty miles, and almost no people in thirty miles.

Where does this make the robbers based in the Brokeback Mountain rob the survival materials? How to survive?

Even if the cottage is moved to other places in Yizhou, it will only be like this, and the local families quickly move away and flee.

Who would be foolish enough to stick to their hometown and bear the scourge of robbers?

Elsewhere, it is not a landless property to provide a foothold in life. The Great Song Dynasty now has a lot of ownerless property, and they can't occupy it at will.

As a result, bandits like Brokeback Mountain have no way to live.....

And the thorn in the heart that Zhao Yue wants to get rid of this time is also them......... 2k reading web
