When these little leaders who didn't have much ability heard this, they didn't dare not surrender, so they immediately abandoned the swords and guns in their hands and knelt down to surrender. When the 100 old soldiers saw that several of the leaders had surrendered, they all abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

At this time, the two warring men had gradually separated from each other. Hou Junda's ability could only survive more than 30 times under Zhu Deng's gun, and gradually he only had the ability to block, and he had no power to fight back. But when the two horses staggered again, Hou Junda tried his best to stab a shot, and then ran to Tsushima Mountain.

Zhu Deng didn't chase either, didn't hurry to take out the bow from the saddle, opened the bow and set up the arrow, only to hear a bowstring sound, and a carved arrow flew towards Hou Junda's vest. only listened to the sound of the bell, and this arrow hit Hou Junda's heart. Although Hou Junda heard the sound of the bowstring behind him, he didn't have time to dodge, he had been hit by an arrow in his back, and his heart hurt sharply after the strong impact, and he spit out a mouthful of blood at the desk. Zhu Deng saw that an arrow hit Hou Junda in the heart, and he expected that he would definitely die, so he couldn't help laughing. But the laughter suddenly stopped, and it turned out that although Hou Junda was hit by an arrow, his body rushed forward and fell on the horse's neck, but he did not fall off the horse, and the arrow on his back also fell off the ground and disappeared. In this hesitation, Hou Junda had already galloped into the mountain.

Yang Xuangan came to Zhu Deng's horse and looked at the direction of Hou Junda's escape, and was also very surprised. Why was this arrow obviously hit, but it failed to enter the body and shoot Hou Junda off the horse?

"That's it, Hou Junda's life and death don't matter, it's up to him to fend for himself. Deng'er returned to Red Peach Mountain with his father-in-law. Yang Xuangan comforted Zhu Deng, who was still stunned.

"Back to the mountain." Yang Xuangan gave an order, and 5,000 people and horses walked towards Red Peach Mountain through the horse valley. came up the mountain, and without the slightest effort, Yang Xuangan and others successfully took over the entire cottage under Li Mi's arrangement. There were less than 1,500 minions in the cottage, and they didn't care who was the boss, but thought that the queen of Luoyang had a strong backer and was more comfortable, so he took advantage of the situation to support Zhu Deng as the master of the cottage, Yang Xuangan as the general of the cottage, and Li Mi as the military advisor.

Besides, Hou Junda, who fled alone into the mountains and forests of Tsushima. Fortunately, he was once familiar with the mountain bandits on Tsushima Mountain, and he was no stranger to this mountain forest, and after only turning a few mountain passes, he knew that he had gotten rid of the pursuit. Stopping the horse next to a mountain spring, Hou Junda panted and turned over and dismounted, hurriedly bowed a mouthful of water, and swallowed the blood in his mouth. After a light cough, he finally regained his breath and sat down on the rocks to rest.

"Fortunately, Hou wore iron armor in the smock, so as not to lose his life, I regret that I shouldn't have listened to Brother Xue's words earlier, there was such a catastrophe. Alas! Hou Junda said to himself.

It turned out that Hou Junda had to put on a pair of light armor sent to him by Xue Wanche whenever he went down the mountain, this light armor was a special body protection steel armor specially issued to the senior generals of the major generals in the Jin army, this steel armor can effectively protect the main parts of the body torso from being shot by bows and arrows. But the impact on the body after being hit by the arrow cannot be reduced, so although Hou Junda has an arrow in his heart, the arrow actually can't shoot through, but he was injured by the arrow qi, which is not serious.

After adjusting his breathing and washing the residual blood from the corners of his mouth, Hou Junda had nothing to think about, but went straight to Fanyang County, Jizhou to vote for his brother Xue Wanche, who was born and died.

Out of Licheng, Xu Maogong and his entourage of nine galloped on the way to Red Peach Mountain. Along the way, there were many people who fled south with carriages to help their families and mouths, and these were landless landlords who fled south from Jizhou. Xu Maogong and the others looked at their faces with disdain, and they had no sense of sympathy at all. Among the group, only Shan Xiongxin was in a situation similar to these fleeing people, with a complicated expression on his face. According to the prior arrangement, Xu Maogong, Wei Zheng, Wang Bodang and Xie Yingdeng first rushed to Changyeling to gather You Junda and Cheng Yanjin, and then went to Jeju Licheng to persuade Jia Yanfu and Liu Zhouchen, and a total of 9 people went to Hongtao Mountain to find Hou Junda, the owner of the village, to discuss the matter.

On this day, I came to Dongming Town, and when I left the town, I would enter the sphere of influence of Red Peach Mountain. So they rested for a bowl of wine at a wine shop in the town, and when they were relieved, they went up the mountain. 9 people sat at a big table, and when they were about to drink, they heard the three old men on the next table talking softly, although the voice was small, but it still reached the ears of Cheng Biting Jin who was nearby.

Just listen to an old man and say, "Alas! This road is full of Jizhou refugees, and the younger students who are stronger in body heard that a recruiting banner has been erected on the Red Peach Mountain, and some of the talents have gone up the mountain. It is estimated that King Zhu should have tens of thousands of minions! ”

"That's more than 10,000! It is said that the king of Luoyang also allocated 5,000 elite soldiers to go up the mountain for the king of the mountain to send! The other old man whispered.

"Alas! Is this a soldier or a bandit? Or a nest of bandits? It is said that the son of the chief official of the capital is still in charge of the mountain, and it is said that he is the eldest son of the prince of Yue, and I don't know if it's true or not. An old man in gorgeous clothes muttered.

"Huh?" Cheng Yanjin suddenly felt that it was not a taste, put down the wine glass, got up and came to the table of the three old men, grabbed an old man as his chest, lifted it up, stared at the bull's eye, and asked fiercely: "You old man, what are you talking about?" What King Zhu? Where did King Zhu come from? Say! ”

The old man who was picked up was suddenly caught, and when he got closer, he saw a face like the bottom of a black pot, so frightened that he peed his pants directly, and stammered: "Uncle ---, where else is King Zhu, since it is Uncle Zhu --- on the Red Peach Mountain in that ---, let go --- let me go." ”

"Huh?" Cheng Yanjin was taken aback when he heard this, and threw the old man in his hand to the ground.

"Knowing the festival, but why? Don't make trouble! Xu Maogong saw that Cheng Biting Jin suddenly had a conflict with the old man at the next table, and hurriedly shouted to stop.

"Old Dao, didn't you hear? The mountain of hearts has now changed owners! Cheng Yanjin said loudly, and the people at the table were stunned when they heard this, and they couldn't drink the wine anymore, and they all looked at Xu Maogong, who was in the lead.

"Hugh nonsense, sit down." Xu Maogong shouted dissatisfiedly. Then he glanced at Wang Bodang beside him, Wang Bodang understood, got up and walked to the cashier's counter. After a while, I saw the shopkeeper of the wine shop and Wang Bodang walking over to Xu Maogong and the others, and saw Wang Bodang shaking his head vigorously and sighing.

"Mr. Shopkeeper, there are some scattered pieces of silver here in the poor road, only to buy the truth from your mouth." Xu Maogong put a few small pieces of silver on the table and said to the shopkeeper of the wine shop who came over.

"Don't dare to be, the Taoist just asks, the little old man will tell you what he knows, and don't dare to talk nonsense if he doesn't know."

"Let me ask you, what happened to the hill of hearts in front of you?"

"Returning to the long words, the red peach mountain changed the king a week ago, and the current king's surname is Zhu, which is said to be a native of Nanyang, and there is a second king surnamed Yang, which is said to be a native of the capital. It is even said that he is the son of Yang Su, the king of Yue, but I don't know if he is a little old man. The shopkeeper replied with trepidation and caution.

"Oh? Is Hou Junda still going up the mountain? Xu Maogong was shocked and asked again.

"It is said that Hou Dangjia has already been driven down the mountain, and it is still unknown whether he is dead or alive!" As soon as the words fell, the 9 heroes on this table suddenly panicked, and they all looked at Xu Maogong, Xu Maogong's face remained unchanged, his face was calm, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

After the shopkeeper left, Xu Maogong whispered to everyone: "Alas! It seems that you and I are late, the new king on the mountain must be Zhu Deng of Nanyang Nanzhuang Village, this person is Zhu Can, who is strong in martial arts. The person surnamed Yang must be Yang Xuangan, this person is extremely treacherous, and he has a lot of dealings with my Green Forest Road, how can I hide it from him when I go up the mountain? I will not be allowed to wait, the mountain of hearts will not be able to go. ”

"Dao Chief, in that case, where should I go?" Shan Xiongxin hurriedly asked.

"Actually, there's another place to go." Xu Maogong thought for a moment and said, everyone stretched out their ears to listen, only Cheng Yanjin looked at this Xu Laodao who was not in a hurry to speak, and looked anxious.

"Where is the Dao Chief?" Wang Bodang asked.

"Langya County, Philadelphia County."

"Huh? Daoist, do you mean to go to Shubao? Shan Xiongxin asked rhetorically in disbelief.

"That's right! I'll wait for everyone to go to Qin Shubao's. There is a ready-made foundation there, Shubao's Fei County has 10,000 soldiers, and the nearby Yinan and Mengyin cities are guarded by two brothers, Fan Hu and Lian Ming, each with 5,000 soldiers, hehe! Speaking of which, it's better to get up there than this mountain of hearts. Xu Maogong said to everyone with a smile, and everyone couldn't help but nod their heads again and again. That's a lot of ready-made territory!

"Hmmm! It's okay to look at the poor road. Wei Zheng echoed and said.

"Hey, hey! Just go to my second brother Qin, and be patient with this bird mountain! Cheng bit Jin Daxi said.

"Good! It's been a long time since I've seen Uncle Bao, so I went to him, came to drink, drank and went on the road, hehe! Shan Xiongxin also felt good, and immediately became happy. Everyone is familiar with Qin Qiong, and there is no one who doesn't want to go.

The weather was getting colder and colder, and Yang Er was roasting a fire in the Wagang House and looking at the information from various places in recent times. At present, the excavation of the first section of the Yongji Canal, which he is most concerned about, is quite satisfactory from the point of view of the process, and the supervision of Ma Shumou and Li Chun on the site ensures the progress every day. It's just that the letter from Hejian Fuyu Culture and made Yang Er feel more and more that the various social contradictions caused by the opening of the canal are becoming more and more acute and intense. The old and spicy Yu Wenhua seemed to be a little unbearable, which made Yang Er feel very surprised. The contradictions listed in the letters seem to be difficult to reconcile, and many of them are too extreme to seem so unreasonable. Rather, what kind of person is he? Can he reason with you?

"My lord, the merchants who came and went said that Hejian Mansion was about to become a hell on earth. Some of the families who were forcibly expropriated from the land and ancestral hall committed suicide at the gate of the mansion, and some did not hesitate to scatter their wealth to hire dead soldiers to attack the mansion of Lord Yuwen, causing countless casualties on both sides. After more landlord families ransacked the tenant farmers, the whole family fled south, and the situation seemed to be about to spiral out of control. Liang Shitai, who was also in the room, whispered, and Wang Dai and Chuchen on the side also listened to the conversation between the two.

"Yes! The speed of land acquisition in the early stage has been faster, and the follow-up land compensation has not yet followed. In addition, the landlord family has exploited the tenant farmers too much, so that there are now too many families fleeing. It is said that the cities of Weicheng, Dezhou, Cangxian, Hejian, and Linji were full of people who had lost their land. Seeing the arrival of midwinter, this is a problem! Yang Er also said with a heavy heart.

"Lord! Now that winter is in winter, the feudal towns can still stand still, if winter goes to spring, the earth recovers, this Jizhou, Shandong, Luoyang and other places are afraid of military disasters! Our army will face a full-scale attack by Tang Bi and Wang Shichong. It is said that Jizhou now has a new hero named Li Zitong, who has taken advantage of the chaos to attract tens of thousands of people to occupy the area of Bohai County, which will be a great threat to Lord Yuwen! ”

"His soldiers and horses there are enough to deal with the rebellion in Jizhou, I think the most unbearable is Luoyang Wang Shichong, you see, he actually joined forces with Yang Xuangan, and helped a kid named Zhu Deng to start an incident in Red Peach Mountain, and has played the banner of "petitioning for the people and avenging his father", and recruited troops on a large scale. This king sees that he can't wait for the beginning of spring next year. Yang Er handed the information from Wang De in his hand to Liang Shitai, and used his free hand to stir the coals in the furnace to make the flames more vigorous.

"Shitai, is there enough food on the mountain to survive the winter?"

"Don't worry, the grain on my mountain is enough to eat for more than half a year. Tomorrow, Zezhou will also send our army's winter clothes, etc., and it is said that there will be food up the mountain. ”

"Well, that's good. Let the soldiers spend a warm winter. ”

While the two were talking, Zhong Jian walked in outside the house and handed Yang Er a newly arrived letter in his hand. Yang Er rubbed his hands and hurriedly opened them to see.

"Huh! It turned out that Li Jing, this kid, really went to Li Yuan. Yang Er just read a few lines of words and said to the dust on the side. Izuchen was shocked and looked at Yang Er's side, as if he didn't believe it.

Yang Er didn't care about her, and then read the letter, and couldn't help laughing: "Hehe! It seems that Li Yuan finally relented and understood what this king meant. Now my father can also celebrate the New Year with peace of mind. ”

"Lord, has Li Yuan withdrawn his troops from Hetao?" Liang Shitai asked.

"Yes! After receiving this letter, it is estimated that he has almost withdrawn. I, Luzhou, will provide grain to Jinyang in stages, and I will use the grain to kill this Li Yuanshuo. ”

"Then General Yuwen Chengdu should also cross the Yellow River west and enter the Hetao, right?"

"It should be, but if you want to go to the Hetao area, you still need to go through the Great Wall Pass of Eagle County, and pass through the territory of Shuofang Pei Renji, he doesn't have the military department transfer documents in his hand, I'm afraid these two places will not be easy!"

"The lord doesn't need to worry, General Yuwen has been rewarded by the Holy Golden Palace, if he wants to pass, who dares to stop him? The phoenix-winged gold pistol in his hand is not a vegetarian, and the lord is just waiting for good news here! ”

"Huh!" Yang Er laughed easily with Liang Shitai when he heard this. This is also the reason why Yuwen Chengdu was assigned to lead the troops.

However, it was said that Yuwen Chengdu of Natun Bingji County had set up troops to board the ship after receiving the warrant from Sima Pei Shiju in Hedong. It was difficult to lead the troops alone, and he finally waited for the order to cross the Yellow River westward, and he was very excited.

The boats needed to cross the river were already on standby at the dock, Yuwen Chengdu did not delay for a moment, and he didn't care about letting the pioneer general Wei Wentong go first, he took the lead in boarding the boat and crossing the river. Wei Wentong thought it was funny when he thought about it, but he didn't dare to go to Yuwen Chengdu to make trouble.
