Yunmengze, also known as Yunmeng Daze, is the general name of the lakes on the Jianghan Plain. It is located between Jingzhou South County and Jiangxia County.

In the pre-Qin period, the circumference of this group of lakes was about 450 kilometers. Later, due to the continuous sedimentation brought by the Yangtze River and the Han River, the Han River Delta continued to extend, and the range of Yunmengze gradually decreased, and by the end of the Han Dynasty, it had almost shrunk by half, but more than 200 kilometers was also huge enough, and it was the size of a county in the densely populated area of the Central Plains.

Because the Yunmengze tidal flats are dense, the depth of the waterway is unfathomable, easy to defend and difficult to attack, in the era of thieves in the late Han Dynasty, it has become an excellent hiding place for water thieves, and it is much broader than the later Liangshan Shuibo.

On a lake island with a radius of more than ten miles, there is a valley surrounded by low mountains, in which a wooden village has been built, like a paradise, if you don't go to the island to see it yourself, you don't know that there is a mystery here, but it is an excellent hiding place.

There is a courtyard in the wooden village, and a young scribe in the courtyard is holding a wooden stick and drawing a picture on the ground, thinking about it while drawing......

If you look closely, what the scribe painted is a picture of Jing Yangyu.

Outside the courtyard gate, there were two big men standing with spears, and from time to time they glanced at the young scribes, looking at the posture as if they were guarding, which showed that the scribes were not free here.

At this moment, another young scribe was pushed and escorted in by several big men, and his face was full of depression.

The scribe in the courtyard looked up and was stunned when he saw the visitor, got up and said in surprise: "Brother Ziyi, why are you back again?" ”

The scribe known as Ziyi scolded and watched the big man who escorted him leave, and then pulled the scribe in the garden to the side and whispered, "Brother Zishan, tell me what's going on?" Why won't the thieves let you go? ”

"Brother Zishan" was stunned when he heard this, and wondered: "What does Brother Ziyi mean?" ”

"Brother Ziyi" said: "My family has prepared a ransom for me, I saw that you were robbed for more than two months and no one came to save you, so I wanted to pay the ransom for you to surprise, but I never thought that the thief would not let you go, why is this?" ”

"Brother Zishan" was stunned, and then said a little helplessly: "Hey, this matter is a long story...... Since Brother Ziyi paid the ransom, why didn't he leave this den of thieves quickly? ”

"Brother Ziyi" said awe-inspiringly: "Although you and I have known each other for a short time, we have already made friends in trouble, how can I just leave you like this." ”

"Brother Zishan" was stunned for a moment, and then said with a moved face: "Brother Ziyi is involved." Shame, shame! ”

"Brother Ziyi" hurriedly returned the salute: "Brother Zishan, don't be polite to me, tell me why this thief leader won't let you go, let's think of a way together, it's not a matter to be locked up like this." ”

"Brother Zishan" sighed and said: "Actually, I am a person with an official life, and my lord is the current general of Zhengdong, and this thief leader will not let me go easily." Mian Bo didn't say it explicitly before, but he didn't think that it would affect Brother Ziyi. Shame, shame! ”

！！！

This person turned out to be the long-disappeared Buqi Buzi Mountain......

"Brother Ziyi" was surprised into an "O" shape, and then puzzled: "Since Brother Zishan is an official, how could he fall here, why didn't General Zhengdong come to save you?" ”

"Hey, this matter is a long story, Brother Ziyi, please listen to me slowly......" Bu Qiu continued with a wry smile, "When my lord built a new army to conquer the East, he specially appointed me as the 'Recruitment Order' to search for people in the wilderness.

Our army had not fought the Yangtze River before, and due to the lack of generals, my lord ordered me to recruit the bandit leaders here. And because I couldn't find it, I made this decision to deliberately be captured by him.

I never thought that this thief would be unruly, and he would even ask that I have to officiate Corporal Xian to come to this thief's den in person to invite him, and give him a general position before he is willing to go out.

I couldn't get angry, so I scolded this guy on the spot, and as a result, I was imprisoned here......"

"Brother Ziyi" was dumbfounded, "This thing is so shameless?" ”

When Bu Qi heard this, he felt a sense of hatred for the enemy: "Who said it wasn't!" He wants to be a general when he comes up as a bandit, it's just a pipe dream! Even if my lord is generous, how can he convince the people like this! Besides, he wants my lord to come to this den of thieves himself to invite him, which is simply unreasonable! ”

"Brother Ziyi" said: "Since it can't be negotiated, why doesn't this thief let Brother Zishan leave?" ”

"Who knows what this thief thinks, I can't tell him reasonably." Bu Qi said with indignation on his face, "I talked to him many times, but he just bit these two requests and didn't let go, and asked me to write a letter to report it to my father......-in-law."

"Brother Ziyi" was puzzled: "In this case, why didn't Brother Zishan write to General Zhengdong for help?" ”

"This ......," Bu Qi said a little embarrassed, "Don't hide it from Brother Ziyi, my lord loves talent very much, and values this thief very much, I am worried that if I write this letter, my lord will really come to take the risk in person!" ”

"Brother Ziyi" was dumbfounded: "Won't it?" ”

"Quite possibly!" Bu Qi nodded seriously.

"This, how is this good?" "Brother Ziyi" frowned sadly......

"Brother Ziyi, don't worry about ......it," Bu Qi comforted, "Recently, thanks to Brother Ziyi's information, I am not completely puzzled by the outside world, and Cai Mao is now attacking the nearby water thieves, so this man can't continue to be at ease." He only has two choices now, either take refuge in Cai Mao or follow me! ”

"Brother Ziyi" frowned and said, "But what if he takes refuge in Cai Mao?" ”

"This," Bu Qi smiled bitterly, "so I'm afraid I'm going to say goodbye to Brother Ziyi forever......"

Speaking of this, Bu Qi saluted to "Brother Ziyi" again: "So please Brother Ziyi leave this place of right and wrong quickly, don't think about me anymore, otherwise Brother Ziyi will be involved, and I am afraid that I will be ashamed of heaven and earth."

If I survive this time, I will go to find Brother Ziyi to repay the kindness here; If something is unlucky, I also ask Brother Ziyi to send a letter to my head of the family. In this way, it will help me a lot. ”

After returning the salute, "Brother Ziyi" said cautiously: "Since I have decided to share the hardships with Brother Zishan, I will not change my mind easily." It's just that Brother Zishan should not suspect that I know that you are an official, so it is good to have a bad heart. ”

"......" Bu Qi was stunned when he heard this, and then sighed and said, "Brother Ziyi knows that I don't have the heart of such a villain, but he still wants to talk to me, do you have to put yourself in danger?" You and I have only been friends for a few days, why is Brother Ziyi here! ”

"Brother Ziyi" smiled and said: "Although you and I have only known each other for a few days, we have seen each other at first sight, and we have this affliction, if I leave here, I am afraid that it will be difficult to live in peace in this life." So as long as Brother Zishan doesn't give up, I am willing to spend this difficulty with you. ”

"......" Bu Qi's eyes were moved by the words, and he solemnly took a step back, and then fell to the bottom again, and swore an oath: "That is it, Qi, in this life, we will share weal and sorrow with you, and share wealth and prosperity!" ”

"Brother Ziyi" heard that there was no hypocrisy, and he also solemnly pushed it to the end......
