Chao Gai's momentum and conversation shocked Song Jiang even more. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It's only been a long time, and in the past, the owner of the turtle farm, who only knew how to be heroic, Baozheng Farmer, actually became a wise hero who seemed to have the quality of imperial momentum and insight. How could he have changed so much?

Is the feng shui of Erlong Mountain a good place, it really has dragon energy, cultivating people, wisdom, and qi, or is there a master who is guiding the maze and making a brave man enlightened?

Song Jiang did not hide his surprise, and praised Chao Gai: "There are allusions in the Three Kingdoms, and Shibei is three days, and you should be impressed." Brother Tianwang has a good comparison with this allusion. This high argument opened Song Jiang's eyes. ”

He smiled humbly and held Chao Gai, but his eyes swept at Zhiduoxing Wu Yong and Zhuyun Long Gongsun Sheng, secretly pondering that Chao Gai's mind and courage were innate, but they were shorter than their intellect, and they were only afraid that they should have this insight. Or is there also a talented general Ren Sen for guidance?

Under the enthusiastic guidance of Chao Gai and other old leaders of Erlong Mountain, the team immediately went up the mountain. The new refuge was once again surprised and even shocked.

At this time, when Erlongshan and Zhou Tong, Du Qian, and Song Wan were transferred from Taohua Mountain, the situation was different.

The only way up the mountain, which is naturally uneven, not very conducive to horses and vehicles going up and down the mountain, people walking, and easy to crook feet without paying attention, has been roughly paved flat with cement at this time, and there are dense horizontal ridges that are convenient for the feet to grip the ground without slipping, and are sturdy and durable. This makes it extremely convenient and fast to get up the mountain.

The mountain road zigzags and turns upwards and extends, the width of the road is different, there are three passes, each level is located at the mountain road that is wide inside and narrow outside, the city pass-like building built of stone and cement that is four or five zhang high and straight and steep stands abruptly in front of you, and the surrounding mountains are combined closely and ingeniously, and together form a sinister fortress that is integrated together.

The wide city wall is equipped with heavy guard weapons such as stone throwers, there are hidden soldiers holes that can evade long-range weapon strikes, can also prevent rain and snow, scorching summer and winter, and are conducive to monitoring the outside indoors, and the pass is a relatively wide and flat terrain that is conducive to storing troops and transferring troops, and there are stone houses to station guards, and outside the pass is a narrow mountain road.

Such a level is blocked on the mountain road, and the gap around the people who can climb is also blocked by the stone and cement repair, and if you want to go up the mountain, you can only pass through this only mountain road level, if the gate is closed, the many guards will condescend to strike at the intruders of the slender team outside the narrow pass, how to fight how easy and advantageous. It is extremely difficult for the invaders to get close to the checkpoint, and they can't use the soldiers again, so they can only engage in refueling tactics, so that the soldiers keep coming forward to die, exhaust the garrison on the mountain, and then force the strong and not wide mountain gate.

Climb the wall to attack, it shouldn't be difficult.

In front of the pass, only the narrow mountain road facing the city gate can set up ladders, and other places are either volleys, or so steep that you can't stand there, and you can't set up ladders to attack the city at all. One or two ladders were erected in front of the mountain gate, not to mention that it was difficult to climb such a ladder to the city gate, even if there were, the person who closed it could easily destroy it.

Such a level is not comparable to the level of Snake Horn Ridge, which is easy to break through with tree fences, and the walled gate. The newcomers are thinking, my mother, alas, such a level, except for the flying immortals, who can break it?

Before this level, except for the narrow mountain road, there are no corpses anywhere else, and the corpses on the mountain road are a little high, and they will roll down the cliffs on both sides. In such a terrain, if you are the commander, you will not hesitate to take the lives of the soldiers, and risk moving rocks and filling in the earth with your human lives to raise the mountain in front of the checkpoint, and without the effort of burying the cliff on this side of Erlong Mountain, it is impossible to pave the way to the city; Even if you directly use the corpses to pile up, without sending at least 100,000 lives to the inside, fill in the recesses on both sides, so that the mountain road can be piled up with corpses to form a road to the city, it is impossible. And that's just the first level. There are two steeper and more treacherous levels ahead.

It's paralyzed, who is so smart to make such a level?

The newcomer was speechless, muttering in his heart, but he was happy.

Erlong Mountain is so indestructible and unbreakable, it is a safe den of robbers.

It seems that just because of this danger, Lao Tzu abandoned Snake Horn Ridge and came to the right place.

The altitude of Erlong Mountain is not too high, and the road is easy to walk, so it does not take too much time to go up the mountain.

In the case of being attacked by officers and soldiers at any time, a large number of cattle and sheep raised in Erlong Mountain dare to graze directly under the mountain, and are not afraid of the officers and soldiers to kill and destroy, because the cottage sentinel can detect the enemy's dispatch in time, and there are also fast horses that can quickly come back to report, and the officers and soldiers lack war horses, a small number of cavalry come just to send them to death, and the brigade comes, mostly infantry, slow action, can not reach the real sudden attack, and when it comes, Erlong Mountain is also ready, and the cattle and sheep can quickly catch up with the mountain to evade. Moreover, the strength of the cottage is also strong, and with the current comparison of forces, even if a war is fought at the bottom of the mountain, without a defensive war, the officers and soldiers may not be able to move.

This mountain is not too high, and it is convenient and fast for cattle and sheep to go up and down, which is also an important reason.

When they arrived on the mountain, all the new recruits, including Song Jiang, were dumbfounded again.

The overall topography on Erlong Mountain is relatively flat, the undulating ones are only a few areas, both called Erlong, the mountain is naturally vast and long, only this flat top of the mountain seems to be out of sight at a glance, the thorns and vines are cleared, and the vast pasture grass is also planted, but there are no cattle and sheep to eat, and the grass grows luxuriant and tall.

Chao Gai smiled and said: "The grass here is not used for grazing now, but is preserved for the autumn harvest of livestock as winter food. These are not enough, and we have to collect corn stalks from the surrounding farmers and store them, and feed them in the winter. The grass under the mountain is also kept on the side of the dragon lake, but it is yellow when it is harvested in autumn, and it is easy for the government to send people to secretly set fire to it at night, and it is not easy to preserve, so it can only be arranged in this way just in case. ”

"In order to be able to plant on the top of the mountain, I personally led the soldiers to dig fertile soil from the lakes and ravines on the side of the mountain and carry it up the mountain to pave the soil where there was a lack of soil. It's been a long time. It just has to be hard. Otherwise, the thousands of horses in the cottage alone can eat the cottage poorly. Don't even want to raise cattle and sheep to eat meat. ”

Everyone couldn't help but be shocked and admired by Chao Gai's full drive.

To the surprise of the new public, there are not only many houses in the cottage, but also not concentrated in that one, they are built around the perimeter of the mountain, not talking about the orientation, and the rows are built from the outside to the inside, and they are also made of stone and cement, and the thatch is laid on the top, not the kind of rough and simple wooden houses that are spliced of wood and are easy to be destroyed, but also shelter from the wind and rain to prevent the cold and snow.

Between some of the houses were stables, which were apparently the quarters of the cavalry. There are also many sheds where cattle and sheep spend the night sheltering from the wind and rain. The layout is clearly well designed.

The core building of the cottage, Baozhu Temple, is not too far from the lower mountain pass.

This place is really not ordinary, there is a large flat land in front of the temple, smooth as a mirror, no weeds, just suitable for soldiers and large crowd activities.

Chao Gai pointed to the rows of obviously better courtyards on both sides of the temple and introduced: "The houses around the top of the mountain can now accommodate 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses, and are still being built, ready to accommodate at least 100,000 soldiers, even those with families can live 200,000 or 300,000 people, the house is full of ondols, not afraid of the cold and sleepless on the top of the mountain in winter, the new brothers are not worried that there is no more comfortable place to live than being officers and soldiers, they all temporarily find empty houses to put down their bags and weapons, rest, and wait for the wedding feast." The houses behind the temple are particularly tall and expensive warehouses, and on both sides of the temple are the residences specially prepared for the leaders and important managers of the cottage. ”

"Chao Gai hopes to gather talents from all over the world, how can he gather hundreds of heroes and heroes as leaders, gather righteousness, and plan a great cause, so this is ready to cover hundreds of sets, and more than 100 sets have been built. On the left, this is where the doctors of the cottage live. The old brothers don't like to live in the Baozhu Temple and follow me to be restrained, and they also live here, and it is convenient and lively to gather together, and there are still some empty courtyards. The dozens of courtyards on the right were uninhabited before, but now they are."

Speaking of this, he laughed a few times, and said enthusiastically to the poisonous horn Jiao Qin Hui: "Mrs. Zun and Zheng Hong Zheng Leader and some people chose to live on the right, and finally opened up this house to popularity. ”

In the laughter of Qin Hui and everyone, Chao Gai waved his big hand, "Let's go, go over and have a look." ”

Qin Hui's wife, Sui and Zheng Hong, both walked out to say hello with a happy face.

Everyone visited Qin Hui's residence by the way, and then the mood was even more comfortable, this place where your mother is called to live, I feel more and more really right.

Chao Gai looked around at the dozens of new heroes and said loudly: "New brothers, you have all seen the convenience and beauty of living here. To put it mildly, these houses and furnishings cost a huge price for cottages, and not anyone who wants to live in them can live in them. As long as you feel that you are qualified to sit in the cottage, you can choose a set to live in. ”

"Of course, if you feel that you don't have enough pounds, but you want to live here, it's not impossible, you can choose to be the leader's guard with the leader. Don't be disappointed and ashamed if you can't live here, you can be the leader and lead the troops with your ability, and the conditions are also good and more comfortable in the soldiers' residential area. If you have made great achievements, you can also be promoted to a boss. ”

What kind of treatment you have and what kind of strength and conditions you have. This is a normal thing. Everyone was able to accept Chao Gai's straightforward words with peace of mind.

Chao Gai said with a smile: "Brother Gongming naturally wants to talk with Gai to facilitate talking, so there is no need to choose a place to live." Let the other brothers make a choice now. I chose my own place to live and settle down, put down my bags, settle down, rest for a while, and be willing to move with me and Gongming Xiandi to go around, further understand the situation of the cottage, and then easily open the banquet to eat wine and meat, and taste the taste of being a hero in Erlongshan. ”

His words made everyone laugh happily again, and they all said in their hearts: "This Chao Tianwang is so ambitious and bold, and he is also very cheerful and thoughtful, and he is a real hero, and he is a good family." ”

They all took their leave to choose their own accommodation, and soon they all came back briskly and empty-handed, and followed happily.

The vast majority of the heroes who came from Chai Jinzhuang have committed serious crimes such as murder, but their skills are not high, and they are not qualified to be leaders. And the latter is the majority. The bag is only temporarily placed at the leader who has a good relationship, and will be moved away when there is a concrete place today.

While strolling, the core triumvirate of Erlongshan introduced to the newcomers.

There is a spring on the mountain that is not small, but it needs to be used continuously, and the water is constantly drawn and stored in the tank to be used by the people of the mountain.

The water for livestock is brought from the top of the mountain directly to the lake with a pulley wheel.

When we arrived at the top of the lake on this side, we found that along the long line of the lake, there were still large areas of vegetables, sweet potatoes and corn planted in the woods on the side of the cliff. In some terrain recesses, natural and artificial circles for free-range chickens and pigs were made. The small ones have more than a dozen pigs, and the larger ones can raise hundreds, and I don't know how many pigs and chickens are resting leisurely or gnawing on grass. There were also a number of canals, apparently to make it easier to get water for vegetable crops and pasture when the weather was too dry.

Chao Gai said: "Erlongshan is not afraid of officers and soldiers coming to fight, but is afraid of long-term siege, so it has been accumulating grain, and it is necessary to cultivate a part of it to be self-sufficient, so as not to be trapped in the mountain and starve to death." ”

"This sweet potato is a good thing, the requirements for the land are not high, but it is worry-free and has a high yield, it can be made into sweet food for long-term storage, it can be made into a variety of delicacies, and it has a high sugar content, which is conducive to eating and maintaining the physical strength of the soldiers. In addition, its vines and fruits are also good fodder for livestock, which is really too useful. ”

There are many ducks and white geese swimming in the lake that is more than ten miles round.

Chao Gai said: "These poultry are also free-range in the cottage. ”

He pointed to a small island hidden in the reeds in the recess of the mountain connected by a wooden sedan chair in shallow water, and said: "It is the place where the navy is stationed, and the small island in the recess of the mountain can accommodate three or five thousand men. The nests of water poultry are also on the island. ”

"As you can see, there are currently a total of 100 ships, but there are few large ships. Because of the lack of a leader who is proficient in water warfare, he has not focused on the development of the water army, and has always been in charge of a few people with good water characteristics on the original Zhuangzi, responsible for transporting food and other materials and spoils along the river, usually fishing, managing poultry, and supplementing cottage recipes. ”

"Some places in this lake are extremely deep, and I am afraid that there are not more than ten zhang. Legend has it that there are two demon dragons hidden in the water, who often make waves and overturn fishing boats and hurt people's lives, so that no one in the vicinity dares to come to fish. Locals call it the Dragon Pond. Because no one disturbs it, the number of fish, shrimp and turtles in the lake is extremely large, and it is a source of delicious food for the cottage. ”

"I just settled here. Gai does not believe in evil. But there are really terrible water monsters that capsize and kill people. Gai was also horrified at the time, and did not dare to let the brothers go down to the lake to operate boats, let alone raise geese and ducks. ”

When everyone heard this, they all immediately stared at Chao Gai intently and spoke.

After a friend (Zhao Yue) pointed out, covered a horizontal heart, made a line with a nylon rope, deliberately made a thick hook, directly from the top of the mountain to the most terrifying place in the lake under the bait, ready to learn from the ancient gods to throw down the golden hook to catch the dragon, the result took several days, the effort paid off but really caught a monster, mud yellow, three or four zhang long, teeth such as halberds, eyes like crystal lights, straight like a terrible yellow dragon, in the water strength is great, so thick nylon rope almost ate it to break off. Everyone was horrified, thinking that it was a sin that had been sinned by a supernatural object. I wanted to give up, but my friend laughed and said that it was just a big fish like a mutated eel that had lived long enough to be alert and fierce. (To be continued.) )
