After walking for seven or eight days, I finally entered the mountain. This is not a good thing, but everyone knows that only by crossing the mountain in front of them can they accomplish their mission. It is precisely because of this mountain that the southwestern frontier of the Han Dynasty was not occupied by the fierce Qiang people.

Standing at the mountain pass, Su Ren felt that it was very cold here, much colder than Chengdu. And it's still raining, so it's even colder. From here, you can see snow on the top of the highest mountain. It is difficult for the Shu people who are surrounded by mountains to feel such cold.

"Little Gold, where is the scout in front? Why haven't you come back to report yet? Su Ren was a little impatient. It is said that there is a large group of bandits hidden in the mountains, and they are still the kind of bandits who kill people without blinking an eye, and are extremely vicious. Because this is Wonsan, it is called the Wonsan Bandit.

The reason why the Yuanshan bandits are fierce is not because of how united they are, but because their composition is very strange, there are not only helpless Han people, but also desperate Qiang people, and helpless Yelang people, and even wild people who come down from the plateau. Wonsan Bandits is actually a general term for dozens of bandit gangs, who distrust each other and rely on each other, and with this strange balance, they occupy Wonsan. To the west, you can attack the Qiang people, to the south you can attack Yelang, and to the east is the Great Han Shu County.

Every year, the Taishou of Shu County received a report on the attack on the Han people by the Yuanshan bandits. But when the troops were sent over, they had already looted and disappeared into the vast mountains.

The Wonsan thieves are not a group of people who will live in peace, they are vampires and locusts. Always steal other people's fruits, whether it's food or women, as long as they like it. This is the way the Wonsan thieves live, and in this way they have been breeding in Wonsan for generations.

Now the big leader of the Yuanshan thieves is Mu Qingyun, the boss of the most powerful bandit Shensha gang in Yuanshan. Since the fall of Shu, many Shu people fled into Yuanshan with Mu Qingyun's ancestors, and they always wanted to restore the country. That is, this group of people robbed the Han Dynasty the most ferociously.

"Are you all there?"

Mu Qingyun was lying on his throne on all fours, holding a pot of wine in his hand, and the scar on his face was extremely fierce. With a burly figure and a wide and long sword at the waist, how do you look at it and feel that you are not a good person.

Today is the day of the Wonsan thieves' meeting, they like this kind of meeting very much, not only can they eat enough, but it is also a good opportunity to test each other. As an idle tribal confederation, such a meeting was also necessary. These bandits knew in their hearts that if there was no such meeting system, the Wonshan bandits would not be so strong.

Mu Qingyun's staff Zhou Zhong is an authentic Han man, and he was still the county governor of Tsing Yi County back then. After the Yuanshan bandits conquered Tsing Yi County, Zhou Zhong surrendered. With his own wisdom and kung fu, he became the second person in the Shensha Gang in just two years. Now that Mu Qingyun has become the boss of the Yuanshan thieves, Zhou Zhong has naturally become the second person in the Yuanshan thieves.

Zhou Zhong stood up and glanced down: "Helper, it's all here, you can start!" ”

"Good! It's good that they're all coming! Mu Qingyun snorted and stood up, threw the wine jug in his hand into the corner, and made a snapping sound: "There is a good thing to announce to you today, there is a caravan from Chengdu, a very large caravan, just outside Yuanshan, I mean, how about we rob him?" ”

"Good ......!" There was a burst of cheers, and many people had already stood up and started to celebrate.

"Hahaha...... that's what you want! The caravan is a good thing, robbing them is much better than robbing those border people, this caravan has more than a hundred mules and horses, and we don't have to worry about robbing him this year! ”

"Good! Boss Mu, you just command! Who's on and who's not, you say! ”

Mu Qingyun glanced at Zhou Chong, Zhou Chong hurriedly stood up and cleared his throat: "According to the results of my discussion with the gang leader, this time there is some trouble, this caravan has more than a hundred guards, well-armed, and very experienced, so the gang leader decided to send the strongest manpower this time, and the proceeds will be distributed according to the previous rules, do you have any opinions?" ”

There was no applause at the bottom, and everyone was concerned not about how to distribute the spoils, but about who to attend. According to the rules of the Wonsan Bandits, only those who participate are eligible to distribute the spoils, so the following words are the most important.

Without letting everyone wait, Zhou Zhong began to announce: "This operation is more tricky, so the boss has decided to let our Shensha Gang, Liuyun Village, Duoluo Mountain, Qijiawan and Maguliang, the five most powerful villages, do it. ”

"Good ......!"

"Hey!"

The bandits who were named were elated and celebrated with each other, not being discouraged by their names. These five families are indeed the most powerful bandits in Wonsan, and each family has more than a thousand people. Especially the Shensha Gang, because Mu Qingyun is the boss, he keeps fishing for his own pockets openly and secretly, and several small mountain bandit gangs nearby have been swallowed up by him, becoming the largest gang in the Yuanshan area, with more than 5,000 people.

Looking at the sparse cheers below, Mu Qingyun glared: "What, does anyone have an opinion?" Say it now! ”

The boss of Cloud Chasing Mountain slowly got up and clasped his fists at Mu Qingyun: "Boss Mu, I do have some opinions on your arrangement!" ”

"Say!"

Li Jun, the boss of Chasing Cloud Mountain, was in his thirties, begging for a living in Qiang Land in his early years, and was later robbed by Yuanshan, and by chance became the boss of Chasing Cloud Mountain. This man has a lot of ideas. Although he can't let Chasing Cloud Mountain become the boss of Yuanshan, he can let the weak bandit of Chasing Cloud Mountain stand tall among the bandits.

Li Jun said: "This time, the caravan is very rich, with more than 100 people to escort these things, we all know these things, why don't we let these small cottages participate?" Our cottage is already small, in recent years, the old cottage has been repeatedly dispatched, and we have made a lot of gains, and our small cottage is not as good as a year, and we can't live anymore, if we don't have our share this time, it is estimated that there will be few people who can come here for a meeting next year. ”

The sincerity of these words was praised by those small cottages, and many leaders nodded their heads again and again.

Mu Qingyun's face turned black in an instant, and he put one hand on the hilt of the sword. Zhou Zhong hurriedly flashed in front of Mu Qingyun, and said with a slight smile: "Boss Li is right, but the people who came this time are not ordinary, the more than 100 guards are very tricky, if you don't send strong people, the helper is worried that he can't deal with it, and it's also for your good, if you small cottages join in, I'm afraid you don't have to wait until next year to lose anything, right?" ”

"Huh!" Li Jun smiled: "According to what Zhou's staff said, Boss Mu is also for our good?" Looks like I'm wrong boss! ”

"Exactly!" Zhou Zhong nodded slightly.

"In that case, forget it! We do not participate in Chasing Cloud Mountain! ”

No one expected that what Li Jun said at the beginning was very resentful, but suddenly he retreated. Many people didn't turn a corner in their minds, and all their eyes were staring at Li Jun.

Mu Qingyun laughed: "That's what I thought, since everyone agrees, don't say anything, drink!" ”

Su Ren waited in the mountain pass for an hour, and the scouts sent out came back. What made Su Yi arbitrary was that no suspicious phenomena were found within ten miles. Before leaving, Wen Dang specially told Su Ren to be careful of the Yuanshan thieves. He sent out scouts just now, but he didn't expect it to be calm.

Hawking was overjoyed: "Big brother, it seems that this gang of bandits is afraid of our guards and didn't dare to come out, now you can rest assured and boldly go inside, what kind of bandits we haven't seen, I met the turtle son who beat him!" ”

Lu Yi smiled: "Do you think it's still those bandits in your warm water? This Yuanshan thief has been rampant for decades, the Qiang people are helpless, the Yelang people can't, and even you Han people are at a loss, so I look at it with the escort of more than 100 people. ”

Su Ren sighed: "Don't make any noise, let everyone set up camp, wait first, let me think about it." ”

The huge caravan stopped at the mountain pass, and a lot of traps and sentry were set up on the side facing Wonsan just in case. Su Ren didn't know anything about the Yuanshan bandits, just based on the words of the Wen Party, Su Ren knew that these bandits were actually not bandits, but more like the armed forces of Jinshanjiao in later generations. Organized and disciplined, the years of robbery have made them brave and good at fighting. Relying only on the more than 100 guards in his hands is definitely not an opponent for others.

The night breeze blew down from Wonsan, and the campfires in the camp were blowing around. In the face of the vast forest and the servant guides, Su Ren didn't care, these Yuanshan thieves were actually the most dangerous existence on this trade route. If it is not cleared, even if they are lucky enough to reach the Qiang land, this trade route will still not be smooth.

Everyone knows that the best way to deal with bandits is to exterminate them, but unfortunately Su Ren has no soldiers and no generals, even if there are soldiers and generals, he is not anyone's opponent in this mountain forest. There is another way, buy! With the nature of Yuanshan thieves, they don't feel that it is enough to give any amount of money, and if the bid is too low to arouse people's disgust and vigilance, they will have no chance.

Pacing back and forth in the tent, it was dizzying to watch.

Lu Yi sighed and said coldly: "If you really can't do it, go back, right?" Wouldn't you live well without this trade route? ”

"It's different!" Su Ren shook his head: "The trade route is just one of them, I have other plans!" ”

According to the trajectory of history, the reason why Liu Che sent Zhang Qian to the Western Regions was to unite the countries of the Western Regions to deal with the Xiongnu together. Throughout history, the early wars of the Han Dynasty against the Xiongnu were all concentrated east of the Yellow River, and the reason was that the Xiongnu and the Qiang people made a union. As long as the army of the Great Han appeared in the west, it was possible to be attacked by the two families. In order to get rid of this dilemma, Su Ren thought of opening up the Qiang people's trade routes, and with the help of the power of the merchants, he dragged the Qiang people back and pushed the history of the Han Dynasty forward.

Leng Jun hadn't spoken since he set off, he was soft and hard, which made Su Ren change his mind and leave Gou Tianming and take him with him, on the condition that he talk less.

At this time, Leng Jun finally spoke: "Since you can't go around or hide, then you can fight, and you will know whether you have won or lost, and it is easy to judge whether you go or stay at that time." ”
