Abduction Ridge is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces water on one side.

The mountain is green hills, tall and verdant, towering into the clouds. The water is green, blue and shining, reflecting the floating light in the sky.

The stockade was built halfway up the mountain, and there was only one road up and down, and the soldiers in armor would be tired and half dead if they climbed the mountain, let alone exterminate the thieves.

As for the entry and exit of the people in the village, there is actually another passage, but it is a rope with the thickness of an arm, which hangs down from the cliff on the other side of the water, and slowly twists up by a large winch on the top of the mountain.

Sitting in the big bamboo basket, Guo Yang glanced down, feeling a little dizzy and sweaty in his palms.

If the Wuling Mountain Grand Canyon can also be so dangerous, it will not be besieged by tens of thousands of homeless people, tens of thousands of wild wolves and only four or five hundred weeks of people. It's a pity that the mountains can't be reclaimed for food.

"Brother Guo, the water in front of you is very famous, known as Yansai Lake, there are more than ten catties of big fish in the water, which is a specialty of my kidnapping ridge. Today, the distinguished guests are coming to the door and have a big perch feast! ”

Wu Huan was very interested, arrogant, standing firmly in the swaying bamboo basket, pointing to the water surface of dozens of miles under his feet and smiling.

"There are sea bass, there is Meng Po wine, and the days in Guiziling are much better than those in our Wuling Mountain." Guo Yang sighed sincerely, and really envied the steepness of this mountain.

"That's different, this kidnapping ridge is actually just a thief's den, you can't plant, you can't breed, even if you earn some belongings, you can't move to the mountain. Unlike the Wuling Mountain Grand Canyon, it is completely a pure land outside the world. Listening to Wang Huzi's description, I can't help but rush to live with you. ”

Wu Huan looked light, quite a bit of a master, and he didn't care about his defeat at the hands of Guo Yang.

"It would be nice if the two were combined. The village of Wuling Mountain is not easy to defend, and when it encounters a real crisis, I can only escape, which is one of my heart problems. Guo Yang sighed and said.

"That's not the biggest problem. Behold the great city of the world, where is there one built on the top of a hill? They all chose a place with gentle terrain and extended in all directions to build the city wall, and it was not that 100,000 male soldiers were helpless! The defense of the stockade is not steep, but strong and weak. Wuhuan said in a high-spirited manner.

"Brother Wuhuan is high! Unfortunately, we are all still very weak, and we can only rely on the terrain to be difficult to attack. Guo Yang said with a smile.

As he spoke, the large bamboo basket was twisted to the top of the mountain. Several people stepped onto a bluestone platform and walked towards a stone building.

The area on the top of the mountain is not large, about three or four miles in size, and more than ten stone houses have been built by Lala, and there are seven or eight big men in the shape of a biao who clean and take care of them inside and out, and they are quite tidy.

Entering a small courtyard, Wuhuan led Guo Yang, Anu and Wang Huzi into the upper room, but the hunchbacked kidnapper Zhang did not follow in, saying that he was preparing a sea bass banquet for everyone.

In addition to the tables and stools, the house is a stone couch with a tiger skin mattress on it, and a small square table with low legs, on which is placed a set of bronze wine vessels, which looks of extraordinary quality.

Guo Yang looked around at Wuhuan's den of thieves and said with a smile: "I can't imagine that the famous No. 1 swordsman in Liaodong has such a light and elegant life, it's really a bit surprising." ”

"The simpler the place to live, the better. When I went out, I was hugged by the children of those wealthy families, and there was no wine or joy, and there was no joy or joy, which was regarded as a lot of evil. I finally came back, of course, only in a humble way. Otherwise, the heavens will not tolerate me. Ha ha. ”

Wuhuan sat on the stone couch at will, and asked Guo Yang, King Anu, and the three of them to be at will.

"Outside, a heroic swordsman, but when he comes back, he is a thief in the mountains, and Brother Wuhuan is so comfortable. Whoever is like me, wherever he goes, he has to hide it, as if he is inferior. Guo Yang sighed.

"The world is difficult, and it is not easy to live. Brother Guo's martial arts are world-famous, but he can live in seclusion in the mountains for the descendants of hundreds of merchants, Wuhuan listened, sighed three times, drank two jars of Meng Po wine, and was drunk for three or four days, haha. ”

Wuhuan laughed, poured four wines, and drank them all with Guo Yang and the others.

"Brother Guo, this time I robbed the grain, and Wu Huan had a reluctant request." Wuhuan said suddenly.

"Please." Guo Yang also said.

"After killing the Yan Guoshi, I have to take most of the grain and grass." Wuhuan said.

Guo Yang was stunned for a moment, and asked with some doubts: "Do you want to kill the soldiers who escorted the grain and grass?" Just a few of us, plus your copycat hundreds, it's far from enough! ”

"You are only responsible for looting in the middle of the grain transport team, and after taking the grain, create chaos and attract those Yan soldiers to stop it. I'll take care of the rest. Wuhuan said.

Guo Yang was silent for a long time and asked, "Can you reveal a thing or two, otherwise, I am a little worried." ”

"If you are in the center to rob the grain, you will inevitably attract a large number of soldiers to stop it, and I will lead people to attack them back and forth, and wipe them out. During this period, it may be more stressful for you, and Brother Guo must be mentally prepared. ”

Wuhuan said with a deep groan.

"What do you want so much grain and grass for?" Guo Yang asked suddenly.

Wuhuan was silent for a while, and said, "Two uses." First, it was the bottom of the kettle that drew salaries, so that the Yan army fighting in front of it lost supplies and was completely defeated. Second, I had to transport this batch of grain and grass to North Korea, and it was difficult for him to teach the local people how to grow crops, so I had to help him. ”

"Miko? But Uncle Shang's uncle? Guo Yang suddenly heard the news of the businessman, and seemed to be a little unconvinced.

The founding of the country, among the recalcitrant people of the merchants, is said to be a god, and the former uncle of the great merchant has become a fairy-like man in the hearts of the merchants.

In Guo Yang's heart, he always thought that the country built by Jizi was far away overseas, and mortals could not approach, and it had already become a paradise on earth. Unexpectedly, I suddenly heard that today it seems that the distance is not very far, and it is still in a relatively difficult situation, so I can't help but feel a little out of shape.

Wuhuan sighed, and then told Guo Yang the general situation of the founding of the country.

It turned out that Jizi was the uncle of Emperor Xin, the last king of the Great Shang, because he repeatedly advised Emperor Xin to care more about the livelihood of the people and crops, and should not go around on a military expedition. As a result, Emperor Xin was angry that he directly reprimanded Wang Guo regardless of the occasion, which damaged the face of the king and imprisoned him in Chaoge.

Jizi was imprisoned, with national sorrow in his heart, and he was worried that someone from the royal family would say that the king would kill him, so he simply pretended to be crazy and stupid to save his life.

Later, with the assistance of Zhou Gongdan and Jiang Shang, King Wu of Zhou took advantage of the main force of the Great Shang to conquer Dongyi and rebel, and the royal capital was empty, so he gathered 800 princes in the world to form a coalition army, rushed to Chaoge, and besieged it.

Seeing that the general trend had gone, Di Xin led the army to fight to the death, but he was attacked by the cultivators hidden in the Zhou army, captured by King Wu of Zhou, and was wrapped in sheepskin and hung on Lutai, exposed to the sun for three days and three nights and died.

The Zhou people created a false image, and people spread the rumor that Di Xin was ashamed of his relatives in heaven and earth and set himself on fire in Lutai, declaring the six sins of Di Xin in the world.

Seeing this, Jizi was not only sad that his homeland was destroyed, but also cold-hearted to the shamelessness of the Zhou people's conspiracy, so he took advantage of the chaos to flee and live in seclusion in Qizi Mountain. After the Zhou Dynasty King Wu visited, invited him out of the mountain, and wanted to set up a businessman to set an example of obedience, so as to calm the hearts of the world's businessmen.

Jizi wrote "Fan Hong Jiuchou", high on the road to governing the country and Anbang, and then waited for the opportunity to lead a group of old friends to secretly flee to Liaodong, and then entered North Korea and established Jizi Joseon.

The Zhou people wanted to win the hearts of millions of merchants, pretending to be generous, and simply sealed the land of Korea in Jizi. Jizi was shamefully rewarded by the Zhou people and refused to be called a marquis.

This time, the army of Yan took advantage of the year of the great disaster and famine to conquer Guzhu, and its sword pointed to it was actually Jizi Korea.

After listening to Wu Huan's words, Guo Yang was silent for a long time before he spoke: "What is the situation of the country built by Jizi? Legend among the descendants of the merchants is that it is a paradise on earth, like a fairyland. ”

"It's tough." Wuhuan said with a deep groan.

"I want to hear about it." Guo Yang said.

"The local people are still in the situation of slash-and-burn cultivation and blood drinking, and hundreds of tribes, large and small, have been fighting for many years. The country built by Jizi has been transformed into the orthodox culture of the Great Shang, and has subdued dozens of tribes, large and small, and is now being taught to reclaim wasteland and grow food. Overall, it's been tough. ”

Wuhuan frowned and said, as if he was a little preoccupied.

"Is there a blood sacrifice and a burial? Are there slaves? Guo Yang asked casually.

"The orthodoxy of the Great Shang, of course, you must fear the gods of heaven and earth, and the matter of blood sacrifice is naturally inevitable. However, the basket fully followed the custom of the ancestors and never exceeded the number of blood sacrifices. Wuhuan said with a deep groan.

"As for slaves, of course there must be, otherwise, none of the people of those barbarian tribes will be willing to put down their hunting tools and engage in more arduous farming, and the so-called cultural matters will become empty talk."

Guo Yang was silent.

At the beginning, he heard the news of the founding of the country, and he had the intention of defecting, but after listening to Wuhuan's statement, it seems that it is not a paradise in the world, and it is no different from the country under the rule of the Zhou people, so it makes no sense to vote or not.

In addition, he was suspicious of the six sins of Emperor Xin announced by the Zhou people back then, and his father Guo Lu, his master, and some other merchant descendants all said differently, or even completely opposite, which made Guo Yang very strange.

He had no intention of pursuing the truth, but he still couldn't help but ask Wuhuan: "What happened to the six major crimes of the king back then?" ”

Wuhuan groaned and said, "It's hard to say. I'm not a businessman, so I don't know much. ”

"It's because you're not a businessman that I'm likely to hear more pertinent statements." Guo Yang said.

"From a certain point of view, the six sins are a bit far-fetched. Failing to follow the old system and deposing the old lords and nobles is to give the commoners a way to live, and then revitalize the country of merchants who are in the twilight. Despise ghosts and gods and do not sacrifice, it is the result of fighting for power and profit with those great wizards, which is understandable. ”

Wuhuan drank the wine and continued with a deep groan: "Killing the important minister, this is hard to say, after all, it is a thing of the past, and we can't know what happened back then." However, judging from the collusion between the princes, uncles and important ministers of the Zhou people, it seems that it is not so simple. As for listening to the woman's words, it is simply a joke, others believe it, but a certain family does not believe it. ”

"Why?" For the first time, Guo Yang was a little surprised to hear someone comment on the merchant king so pertinently. This Wuhuan is not only superb in swordsmanship, but also cares about the people's livelihood, and can be regarded as a master.

"A precarious and flawed big businessman, with powerful people fighting for power and profit, and even those princes and uncles have secretly taken refuge in the Zhou people, and there are eight hundred princes outside who are like hyenas around him, and may give him a fatal blow at any time, where does he dare to listen to the words of the woman and destroy his own great business luck?"

"Perhaps, God didn't let someone taste the real taste of red face, haha."

Wuhuan took a sip of the wine, stood up, laughed and said: "A few thieves, they actually talked about the world's major affairs, happy, happy, really fucking happy!" ”

The sword at his waist was like a match, and it was suddenly swung.

…………………………

Note: There are six well-documented commercial charges. As for the so-called ten sins in later generations, they were mainly summarized or fabricated in order to maintain their own doctrine during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and they were not the original version announced by King Wu of Zhou.

Of course, that period of history is too far away, and it is not surprising that most of the historical facts are not well documented, and there are different opinions. For example, the founding of the country is far-fetched because the author borrowed some historical materials.

This article is pure fiction, the novelist is just talking, there must be many mistakes and loopholes, and the Fang family is tolerant.
