In the early morning of September 27 of the summer calendar, in the valley on the southern edge of Luliang Mountain, nearly a thousand ragged Huarong robbers had gathered, most of them were in the prime of life, but there were also old and young, some of them were the remnants of the Jin army, and some were scattered into the mountains to escape the wilderness.

Ten years ago, they were united into a loose alliance, and its leader was none other than Fox Baby. It is said that there is a mysterious force behind him, so there are even some elite cronies under the fox baby who wear armor and hold the go, and they have also been trained in the Sima method.

Indeed, the more than 200 Rong bandits under the fox baby are the hidden power placed in the mountains and forests by the Bank of China Muzi, whose parents were originally the Rong people scattered in the north, and were migrated here after being conquered by the Bank of China Muzi. They did not become savage serfs of the Zhongxing clan like the usual prisoners of war, but were released into the mountains and forests, but in fact, they have been secretly serving the Zhongxing clan.

Last time, the prince of the Bank of China clan hinted that they could rob the Zhao clan's caravan, and now, an even more difficult task has been arranged.

And the hundreds of thieves in front of him are small groups of thieves from the mountains and forests. Every disaster year, the starvation road looks at each other, and the people hear the public fate, such as fleeing from revenge. Many of them fled to the mountains and forests, became a group of thieves, and sporadicly haunted the northern part of Xinjiang. At the behest of the Zhongxing clan, they were brought together by the fox baby.

Naturally, the fox baby would not reveal the true purpose of the Zhongxing clan, but only told the group of thieves that the time for the clothing of September had come, and the group of thieves and their women and children hiding in various forest houses and caves were still without clothes and brown, and there was no surplus food to survive the winter, and they had to find a way to survive.

"Second and third sons, we must go out of the mountains to plunder once, and we will have a way to survive this winter."

Everyone asked in unison, "Fox, you can say it." Where are we going? ”

The fox baby stood on a large rock, and raised his arms to point south.

"Chengxiang!"

The leaders of the group of thieves present learned that the target of this time was Chengxiang. There was a lot of discussion.

The wealth of the township, the mystery of the township. Even in the past, it's a fresh topic worth talking about for a day.

The fox baby is hoping that this is the case, and he wants to let the greed in the hearts of these unruly Huarong thieves overshadow the fear.

"I have made an agreement with the other two 'great thieves', and march together in three ways, as long as I break through Chengxiang, except for some craftsmen who must deliver it to them, the rest of the goods and women will be at our mercy. Let us distribute! ”

These promises made the robber leaders drool.

Half a year ago, Chengxiang was still unknown, and even those who knew would only stretch out their little fingers and despise this barren and poor township, and the robbers were not interested there.

However, today, half a year later, the reputation of Chengxiang is within a hundred miles of Xinjiang. But no one knows about it, no one knows it.

But no one can tell the truth and mystery clearly. Because the inventory of the pavilions around Chengxiang is extremely strict, if you are not from Chengxiang, there is basically no way to get close to the township. Occasionally, there are relatives and friends who go in, but they are also strictly guarded, and they cannot enter and leave the hall at will.

Even those Chinese people who came out of Chengxiang and went to the market to collect goods did not answer the curious inquiries of others. If you say that you leak the affairs of the township at will, you will not only be punished. It also affects neighbors.

Therefore, the Chinese people have undergone tremendous changes within Chengxiang. I can only use my brain to guess, and there are countless versions in the market. Some of them reached the ears of the thieves in Luliang Mountain.

"I heard that there are acres of fields one after another, and there are some wooden dragons that take off into the air every day, fly into Fenshui, open their big mouths, draw water in their stomachs, and then fly back to irrigate the dry land!"

"I heard that the filth of the people in Chengxiang who go to the toilet on weekdays, that Zhao gentleman only needs to send Wu Zhu to cast a spell, and it can be turned into a golden liquid that can make the land fertile and continue to cultivate without hurting the soil strength!"

"Chengxiang has a tool that doesn't need raw materials, but can grind white wheat flour out of thin air. Do you know wheat flour, it is sold in the market, the kind of soft and fragrant water cake, the people of the country can eat a nail with an open stomach, and they can't finish it! ”

"Porcelain, how can you forget porcelain, the fox has a snatched porcelain pot, and he is reluctant to take it out in his arms every day, it is said that only Chengxiang can do it in the Jin Kingdom. This is a rare thing that can only be burned by killing boys and girls and sacrificing to ghosts and gods, as long as there is one, it is enough to exchange for a year's corn! It's a pity that the last time I plundered, I was repelled by the townsmen who rode horses in Chengxiang, their horses were very high, and the arrows were quick and accurate......"

Speaking of this, the leaders of the group of thieves suddenly realized that Chengxiang was not simply a fat sheep to be slaughtered, but a big turtle that seemed delicious but was covered with a hard carapace. They all looked back at their subordinates, who had no armor and no armor, and their weapons were only stones and sticks tied to the branches, and there was silence for a while.

"Fox, our subordinates, I didn't even eat today's morning food, although I was instructed by you on weekdays, and I also had a little training, but it was okay to rob the lonely business travelers, just go to Chengxiang like this, can you really beat those villagers?"

Seeing that the rabble he had unified had not yet seen blood, the fox baby began to lose morale, and hurriedly clapped his hands and said, "Don't worry, second and third sons, I have already managed to get a few carts of corn, so that you can eat with an open stomach in the afternoon." In addition, the two Shanbei 'thieves' will also provide some armor and weapons, which can be distributed to your cronies as the elite of the attack. ”

Of course, this was a little bit of random allocation from the treasury of the Fan clan and the Zhongxing clan, arming these bandits and driving them to attack Chengxiang to test the Zhao clan's reaction.

Of course, they also made a tempting promise to the fox baby.

As long as the fox baby can convince the bandits to attack Chengxiang this time, from now on, he will be able to get out of this barren mountain, reunite with his wife and children, and live in the city as a retainer of the Zhongxing clan.

"If we can capture Chengxiang and plunder the craftsmen, Zhongxingbo can still give us the same status as the countrymen, and even the status of a scholar." This is what the fox baby said to several of his cronies who knew the roots, which made them happy, and they would continue to help the fox baby incite the gang of thieves in the crowd.

"Chengxiang is just a small town, the wall is not high, the township gate is not thick, as long as a big tree, it can be knocked open, as long as the two are stacked together, they can be turned over!"

"We used to plunder the towns in the north of the mountain, and there was usually only one pawn among them. That is, a hundred village guards are stationed, and how many of us are capable of fighting? Five hundred! According to the establishment of Jin*, there is also a brigade of people. Plus those two 'big thieves', I'm afraid he will do something! ”

"The fox has already mapped out the area it passes through. No one will stop us from discovering it, we only need to touch the outside of Chengxiang tonight, attack suddenly, and before the rooster crows tomorrow, we will definitely be able to conquer! After snatching it, I left, and when the Sikou Department and Zhao Bing of the lower palace reacted, we had already entered the mountains and forests, who could help it? ”

At the instigation of the fox baby. The bandits were excited again, as if the loot would really be simple.

The fox baby breathed a sigh of relief, according to the arrangement of the two gentlemen of the Bank of China and Fan, this operation was to use these group of thieves he entangled as the precursor, as the ditch filler, and the main force of the follow-up was still the Fan and Bank of China family soldiers dressed as "group thieves". He didn't care about the life and death of the thieves, he only cared about being able to use this matter to restore a decent scholar.

The ancestor of the fox baby. It is the Ji surname Hu from Hu Rong, which is the mother family of Jin Wen Gong Chong'er.

His most famous ancestor was called Huyan, affectionately known as "Uncle Criminal" by Duke Wen of Jin. He was a close confidant who followed Chong'er in exile in various countries, and he was also the first hero to help him return to China, and he also made war exploits during the Battle of Chengpu. At that time, Zhao of the Zhao family and the father of the Bank of China were all inconspicuous small roles, accompanying the last seat of the Tianqing clan.

Until the son of the fox. When the fox shot Gu, the fox clan suffered a huge blow.

Fox shoots after the death of her father, Fox Yan. served as the Zhongjun Zuo, ranking above Zhao Dun, who was not even Qing. He is one of the most vocal candidates for office. However, the party of the Zhao family, Taifu Yang's virgin father persuaded Jin Xianggong to Zhuo Zhao Dun, let him practice and jump, and became a general of the Chinese army, so he buried the grudge between the fox family and the Zhao family.

After that, the conflict between the two families erupted over the establishment of the monarch.

When Duke Wen of Jin died, in accordance with the decree left by the Jin State when he was dedicated to the prince, "there is no prince in the country, and those who are not princes are not allowed to stay in the country", Gongzi Yong, Gongzi Le, and Gongzi Hei Buttocks were sent to the royal families of Qin, Chen, and Zhou respectively as doctors.

When Xianggong of Jin was dying, he entrusted the crown prince Yigao to the ruling Zhao Dun, but Zhao Dun later felt that Yigao was young and decided to welcome back Gongzi Yong from the Qin State to succeed him (later changed his mind and established Yigao as the Linggong of Jin).

In order to compete for power with Zhao Dun, Hu Shugu also sent someone to pick up Gongzile from Chen State, wanting the latter to succeed to the throne, but Zhao Dun sent someone to intercept Gongzile in the middle of the road.

After hearing the news, the fox shot Gu was furious, and in retaliation, sent people to assassinate Yang Virgin, who had lost his position as Zhengqing. Soon, Zhao Dun had already dealt with the various forces in the country, so he investigated the killing of Yang Chu's father, and corrected the fox clan, and the fox shot Gu was invincible, and he could only go to Chidilu country.

Originally, after Jin Xiangong conquered Hu Rong, the Hu clan entered China from Rong Di, and now it has entered Rong Di from Hua, which can be described as a big ups and downs.

Now more than 100 years have passed since Fox Shooting Gu went out of Benchi Di Lu Kingdom, and the Fox Clan is thriving in the land of Rong Di.

Bank of China Lin's father has a good relationship with Fox Shooting, and once proposed to welcome Fox Shooting Aunt back to China. Therefore, when he was a general of the Chinese army, the soldiers went wherever they went, and after the destruction of the Chidi Lu Kingdom, he gave preferential treatment to the descendants of the Fox clan.

And the fox clan felt that it was not allowed to be in the Jin Kingdom, and they kept running to the edge of Rongdi. It wasn't until the countries of Liangu, Fei, and Wuzhong were also broken by the Zhongxing Wu, who was known as Rong Dixing, that they found that they had nowhere to go, and the fox baby simply took more than 100 tribesmen to take refuge in the old Zhongxing clan with their ancestors.

However, today's Bank of China has become very snobbish and practical, and it is no longer the style of the good old man of Bank of China Lin's father, so the fox baby is also "used to the fullest". His mother, wife and children were detained, and he took the Qingzhuang people and placed them in the Luliang Mountains, giving full play to their knowledge of the Rongdi language and their ability to fight in the mountains, helping the Zhongxing clan recruit the mixed bandits of the mountains and the Rong as a hidden force.

This is the past of the fox baby.

"Chengxiang, Zhao, it just so happens that a hundred years ago, my ancestors were expelled by Zhao's 'Summer Sun', so it can be regarded as revenge for the ancestors!"

After a while, the words of the fox baby were fulfilled, and some people dressed as merchants carried carts and carts of grain: fried corn in bamboo baskets, and delicious syrup, to reward the thieves.

The fox baby knew that they were allies of the Zhongxing clan, and the retainers of the Fan clan were dressed up. After the bandits have eaten and drunk enough, they must assemble their team, follow these people along the inaccessible path through the territory of the Zhongxing clan, receive weapons and armor on the halfway, and arrive at Daxiang after night to launch a surprise attack!

After the "Shangjia" who took the lead explained these things to the fox baby, he gestured behind him, called a young man over, and introduced: "This is the guide who will lead the way for you today, and he is also a little retainer of the Fan family, he has good skills and is extremely familiar with the surrounding road conditions. ”

The fox baby saw that this young man was twelve or thirteen years old, but he had already tied his round hair in a bun, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and thick arms, and he would definitely grow into a tall tiger warrior one day. So he reluctantly smiled behind his thick beard: "I don't know what to call it?" ”

The young man had been looking sideways at the thieves in ragged clothes, with unkempt hair, and gobbling up food with dirty hands. His eyebrows furrowed, as if he had some disdain to be in company.

This made the fox baby feel that although this young man was small, he had the unique arrogance of Huaxia scholars, and he was not easy to get along with.

After hearing this, the young man glanced up at the fox baby, and replied simply and concisely:

"Down, Yu Rang!" (To be continued)
