Chapter 400: The Wisdom of Killing

Hengshan country is named after Hengshan, adjacent to Huaishui in the north, and there are naturally mountains when there is water. Funiu Mountain is the largest mountain range in the north of Huaishui, from the topography point of view, Funiu Mountain is the remaining vein of the Qinling Mountains, the west is connected to the Qinling Mountains, and the city is suddenly cut off in Fangcheng. However, the terrain has not decreased, and it has been forming continuous hills to the east, which is also a major feature of Jianghuai.

The mountain in front of Su Ren and the others is actually a hill. According to geology, those with a height of more than 300 meters and a steep slope are called mountains, and the rest are hills. The Jianghuai Plain is more hilly than mountainous, so people in the plain area regard the small raised mounds on the ground as mountains. Pojun Mountain is the name of the small mound in front of Su Ren.

Speaking of the origin of Pojun Mountain, it can be traced back to the first king of Hengyang, Wu Rui. During the Qin Dynasty, Wu Rui relied on his family power to organize the people to build water conservancy, emphasize agriculture and business, and won the support of the people near Hengshan. When the princes of the world revolted, in order to stabilize the people in the south, the king of Qin followed Li Si's suggestion to divide the separatist forces, and Wu Rui was named Pojun. Later, Xiang Yu led the army to destroy the Qin State, divided the princes, Wu Rui was named the king of Hengyang, the local people in order to show respect for Wu Rui, after his death will change the name of this small mound to Pojun Mountain, which means that they hope that this small mound will be like Pojun Wu Rui, for them to block the disaster.

Pojun Mountain, the mountain is not high, and the slope is very gentle. A trail follows the mountain road over the ridge and down the mountain to the bank of the Huai River. The people in the vicinity usually go up to the mountain to chop firewood, or hunt some hares and pheasants, and in the year of famine, Pojun Mountain also played a role in protecting the local people.

Su Ren felt that he could already see the top of the mountain after walking a few steps, and looked around, the dense forest was very deep, and he couldn't see clearly in about ten steps. If they want to do it before they enter the Hengshan Kingdom, this is definitely the most ideal place.

"Stop! Take a break, I can't walk! Su Ren's voice was very loud, and he could hear it clearly in a radius of a mile.

Li Danghu and Wei Qing glanced at each other, and began to prepare one after the other. It's not dark yet, and since you're going to fight the enemy here, you can go as slow as you want. I found an open space, the vehicles were arranged on the outermost side, the fire was lit, the camp tent was set up, everything was going on in an orderly manner, but the sound of laughter was suddenly gone.

Ying Guangji came to Su Ren's side, and was angry about Su Ren's insult to his ancestors in the afternoon: "Our Great Qin's throne should be counted from the generation of our ancestor Feizi, to the third generation, a total of twenty-eight generations, thirty-seven emperors, reigning for seven hundred and ninety-four years, how can we say that the shortest-lived dynasty is the shortest?" ”

Su Ren smiled bitterly: "I know what you said, what dozens of generations ......"

"Twenty-eight generations!"

"Yes, yes, twenty-eight generations, thirty-seven emperors, a total of seven hundred and ninety-four years, what is thirty-seven emperors? Don't talk about the emperor, even if he is crowned the king, he is from the filial piety, right? Even if he is crowned king, he is also a subordinate of Zhou Tianzi, only the first emperor unifies the six countries can be regarded as the real emperor, and the third emperor has only been the emperor for forty-six days, are you embarrassed to say? Is it wrong to say that you died II? ”

"You!" Ying Guangji was speechless by Su Ren, and flicked his sleeves and left.

Shi Bao has been standing behind Su Ren, he heard what he said just now, and when Ying Guangji left, he said with a smile: "This guy can't do his best, he can't figure out the affairs of his ancestors, and he shows off everywhere, he should really tell the government and arrest all these remnants of the Qin Dynasty." ”

Su Ren glanced at Shi Bao: "You don't make trouble, although this Ying Guangji is a Qin person, he doesn't mean to harm us for the time being, why bother him, what can you do if you tell the government?" These people can't be caught cleanly at all, in case they know that we are the officials who sued us, they can't deal with the Liu family, and it will be a piece of cake for them to deal with us. ”

Shi Bao nodded again and again: "I know, I won't talk nonsense." ”

Su Ren was still not at ease, and told again: "It's not just you, the person who told us what I said, I don't care if others sue the official or not, let's not provoke this kind of-stirring stick." ”

"-stirring sticks? What do you mean? ”

Su Ren smiled: "Why can't you do with a good stick, you have to go and pee, are you willing to contaminate this thing?" ”

"Hehehe, the true image described by Mr."

"Don't pat yourself on the back, eat, sleep first after eating, those guys should do it in the second half of the night."

The last vestiges of the setting sun faded and night fell. The moon, which had come out early, had already shown its figure in the east. Tonight was a fine day, sunny and a slight southeast wind brought moist air, forming dew drops on the young shoots of the trees. Birds that have been busy all day also return to their nests, and only those that are nocturnal occasionally fly overhead.

A vole sneaks into the camp from under the wagon, attracted by the food scraps that have fallen on the ground. I didn't dare to pass through the middle of the camp openly, and after a long circle along the dark shadow on the edge, I finally found the food I dreamed of. Suddenly, a big foot fell from the sky, and the vole was so frightened that he could no longer care about the food in his hand, so he turned around and ran. In a panic, he crashed headlong into the blazing fire and never came out.

Liu Hong wrapped the clothes on his body tightly, so as not to penetrate the moisture, since Yelang came back, his health has not been good, he has basically been raised at home all these years, this time he took the initiative to take over this task. Not for anything else, just to get out of the stuffy breath in the chest. For the past five years, almost every night in my sleep, there has always been that image of being stripped naked and thrown on the crowded street.

I shuddered and woke up all at once. Liu Hong eased his nerves and asked Guo Xie beside him, "What time is it?" ”

"Just after the end of the day, we only moved when we were young, and we could sleep for another hour."

Liu Hong nodded, turning his head to see Han Shuo, Han Yan's representative. Han Shuo is Han Yan's cousin, and he has some force, and he can be said to be invincible in the world in the Han family. This time, Han Yan sent Han Shuo to take a fancy to his cousin's martial arts, and he also wanted to show his face in front of King Huainan and Princess Guantao by the way. Han Shuo slept soundly, still snoring, and could be heard from a long distance.

Liu Hong frowned: "This pig has not been idle these days, I heard that more than a dozen people have been lost, we are assassinating this time, all of them were exposed by him, just now the spies came to report, saying that Su Ren and others are camping on the mountain, I always feel that something is wrong." ”

Guo Xie nodded: "I also think there is a problem, it stands to reason that they know that we have an ambush, and they shouldn't camp in this kind of place, Su Ren is cunning, and he wants to calculate us if he doesn't get it!" But he only has 200 men, how can he fight us with those few men? ”

"Don't underestimate Su Ren, I've seen him kill two thousand Yelang soldiers with a hundred people!" Liu Hong talked about the past, and couldn't help twitching his mouth a few times: "Su Ren dares to go to Yuanshan alone, there are not many people in the world who have such courage." ”

"And what about our night's action?"

"Go as usual and let that pig take the lead!" Liu Hong looked at Han Shuo, who was still asleep.

Guo Xie smiled and nodded.

As the night deepened, the weather became cooler, and the dew soaked the sheepskin that covered the body, making it crystal clear in the light of the moon. Su Ren felt very cold, so he moved to the fire. Although it is already March, the geothermal heat has not come up, and the heat will only be felt at noon during the day. The fire, which burned for most of the night, was also smaller, and everyone crowded this way, and there was obviously not enough space.

Li Danghu pushed Su Ren, and Su Ren got up with a grunt: "What's wrong?" ”

"It's moving over there!"

"Oh, okay, do it according to the plan!"

There was a burst of neighing and screaming, and the soldiers and guards who were sleeping were called up one by one, and no one complained, and after a little tidying up, they began to do their own things. The wagons were put up again, the tents were put away, and everything that could be used was put into the wagons. Although the camp was tense but methodical, it took only a cup of tea to get back on the road, lighting torches and climbing to the top of the mountain.

Liu Hong and Guo Xie walked in the middle with their waists bent, and Han Shuo in the front had already taken people away, just waiting for the two sides to hand over, and the fifty archers specially brought from Huainan would shoot ten thousand arrows. Whether it was Su Ren or Han Shuo, who they didn't like, they would all turn into souls under the arrow.

From the beginning, Liu Hong and Guo Xie didn't like Han Shuo. Han Shuo was not only proud, but also learned Han Yan's domineering, and he also shouted and pointed fingers at Liu Hong and Guo Jie, and did not treat the two of them as guests of the prince of Huainan and the princess of Guantao. Regarding the killing of Han Shuo, Liu Hong and Guo Xie both tacitly knew that only by killing them in the chaos of the army could they give Han Yan an explanation, and it was also the best explanation.

"Report to Gongzi and Mr. Guo, those people suddenly withdrew from the camp and continued on the road!" A scout hurried over.

Guo Xie was stunned: "Could it be that they found something?" ”

"People have already found out!" Liu Hong frowned.

"What then? Still acting? ”

"The arrow has to be sent, if you miss this opportunity, you will never have a chance again, Liu Ci has already sent his general Zhang Guangchang to lead a thousand soldiers and horses to wait at the border, if Su Ren and Zhang Guangchang meet, it will be difficult to kill them again."

"But ......"

"Nothing." Liu Hong said to the scout: "Go and tell Han Shuo immediately, let him catch up and entangle Su Ren, we will be there soon!" ”

"No!"

Observe the left and right as you walk, and say that you are not afraid in your heart, that is a lie. Knowing that the enemy is on the side, he still has to walk so swaggeringly, and everyone's heart is carried. Thorn volunteered to lead the horse tied to the dummy, according to everyone's estimates, if the opponent wants to release cold arrows, Su Ren is naturally the first target, and his mount is white, so it is best to recognize.

Li Danghu walked in the middle of the team with a sword, and led ten guards to guard the carriage, which not only had Gongsun He and a few wounded, but also had a sense of care. Whether it is as an old man or a miracle doctor, Chun Yuyi is the object of everyone's strict protection. For this purpose, some wooden planks were found and both sides of the carriage were reinforced to prevent them from being shot by the enemy's arrows.

Seeing that he was about to reach the top of the mountain, there was a sudden chaos behind the team, and then the sound of weapon handover sounded, and there was a **shout: "The enemy is attacking ......!" ”
