Weihai Yulong Mountain

"General, in order to avoid Jinan's detection, we only brought three hundred soldiers to Weihai secretly, and I always feel unsure. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Xue Bingcheng frowned and said worriedly.

Tong Qianyan on his side didn't seem to be worried at all, his expression flashed with a hint of calmness, and then said: "Don't worry, although Bai Sheng has a lot of personal enmity with our army, he still has a good sense of the overall situation at the moment of life and death." ”

After a pause, he continued: "If we can recruit Yulong Mountain this time, then within three years, our army's iron cavalry will be able to send troops from Yulong Mountain, and we will be able to set foot in Jinan and take Jinling directly." ”

Tong Qianyan's words contained strong self-confidence and pride, and he understood that only by stepping up to the pinnacle of Wei's power could he completely destroy this empire that he loved and hated.

The sun was sinking in the west, and time crept into the evening, and the golden afterglow used its last rays to shine on every corner of the earth.

The summer cicadas seem to sense that night is coming, and chirp hard before the light fades, adding a touch of irritation to the quiet wilderness.

"General, the mountain in front of you is Jade Dragon Mountain." Wang Xiao pointed to the hill in front of him.

"Send someone to tell Yulong Mountain, just say that I, Tong Qianyan, want to see me."

"No!"

After saying this, Tong Qianyan was silent for a while, looking at the sunset that was gradually sinking in the west, he knew that whether this plan could be successful depended on the attitude of Yulong Mountain.

After a long time, a sturdy man dressed as a civilian walked slowly, bowed down and said, "Report, General Yulongshan has refused our request to see. ”

After a little silence, Tong Qianyan wondered: "Did you tell them that we can help them this time, defend Yulong Mountain, and repel the Qi army." ”

"Yes, the subordinates said it very clearly, but they not only refused, but also warned our army that if they did not withdraw from the station, they would be unkind to our army."

Hearing this, Tong Qianyan looked up at the gray sky, his expression was mixed with a wisp of complex and indescribable meaning, his lips spurted a few times, and he stopped talking.

Xue Bingcheng looked at him and said, "General, what should we do next, why don't we withdraw our troops and go back first." ”

Tong Qianyan's eyes moved, and he waved his hand and said, "Bingcheng, you take the soldiers back first, I want to stay here and see what kind of medicine is sold in this Jade Dragon Mountain gourd." ”

"But your safety ......"

"Don't worry about it, my skills, you still don't worry." Tong Qianyan interrupted with another wave of his hand.

Seeing that the other party was so decisive, Xue Bingcheng knew that with Tong Qianyan's temperament, he would not be persuaded to retreat. After taking a deep look at the other party, he clenched his fists and took the men and horses away.

Tong Qianxian turned his head to look at the people and horses who disappeared into the night, turned the horse's head, and ran towards the nearby village.

Jade Dragon Cottage

In a richly decorated room, a middle-aged man respectfully said to the old man in front of him, "Uncle Night, why should we refuse Tong Qianyan's request to see him. ”

If there were other people present in the cottage at this time, they would definitely be able to find that the man who was full of questions and puzzled was the current lord of Yulong Mountain, Wang Yihu, the great leader of Yulong Mountain, who was known as the fast knife of Shandong.

"Ah Hu, Tong Qianyan is here to help, it doesn't help us much, his hundreds of sergeants don't play a role in us, it is estimated that he is trying to recruit us under the guise of helping."

Wang Yihu said: "Zhao'an, isn't that good, Uncle Ye, as long as we take refuge in the Wei State, wouldn't it be easier to avenge the destruction of the Hanshan army in the future?" ”

When the old man heard this, he smiled noncommittally, "Zhao'an? That's a joke, Han Shan also accepted the invitation of the Qi Imperial Court back then, but in the end, it was not two months, and everyone took off their official hats again, returned to Hanshan, and continued their previous lives. ”

"Why, haven't you already been recruited, why do you want to rebel?"

The old man's cloudy eyes narrowed, and a cold light flashed, "Hehe, the brothers on Han Mountain were used to being free back then, Brother Song Han insisted on returning to the court, and the brothers were helpless, so they listened to their brother's words and descended to the court, but as a result, after recruiting An, they were angry with the bird court everywhere, and it was better for the brothers to stay on the water and Han Mountain to indulge in life, and come happily and freely." ”

Wang Yihu thought about it, which of the eleven leaders of Hanshan who were famous in the eastern border of Shandong was not a hero in the green forest, one by one, they were either forced by the imperial court to arrest Qin criminals who had no way out, or they were framed by others, and their families were ruined and died in Hanshan, or they were ......

In short, all of them are empty and full of martial arts talents, but they have endured the way of the world in their lives, and the heroes oppressed by the imperial court are precisely because of their sympathy for each other that they created the Shuibo Hanshan in the eastern boundary of Weizhen Mountain at that time.

Nodding, Wang Yihu said: "In this way, the Wei State, which is more powerful than the Qi State, if we accept his recruitment, the brothers of Yulong Mountain will undoubtedly jump from one oil pot to another big oil pot with more vigorous firewood and more boiling water." ”

"That's right, so instead of this, wouldn't it be better for me to stay in Weihai honestly and be at ease."

After listening to the old man's words, Wang Yihu thought of the Qi army that was about to arrive soon, and frowned: "I'm afraid that the days of leisure and happiness will not last long, it is said that Jinan has paid attention to us, and it is estimated that there will be an army to attack us soon." ”

"The Northern Army of the State of Qi?" The old man asked.

"Well, it is estimated that part of the Western Army came, according to Gan Xingyu, after Yu Jin drove him away, he ordered his son Yu Yongnian to go to Jinan, thinking that he wanted to join forces with the Northern Army and come to Weihai to clean us up."

The old man's wrinkled hands clenched hard, and his eyes narrowed even tighter, "Hmph, don't worry, the entire Jinan County has a total army of 400,000, and Jinan City has 180,000 defenders, and he can only mobilize 20,000 troops at most." ”

The smile on the corner of his mouth was even worse, and the old man continued: "No matter how many men and horses are mobilized, they will definitely be noticed by the Wei army in the direction of Ningcheng and Qingzhou, so he will not send too many troops, and we don't have to worry so much." ”

Wang Yihu agreed: "If this is the case, we will fight with the Qi army, and the cottage claims that there are currently more than 10,000 people and horses, but in fact, the number of people and horses is close to 20,000." ”

The old man said: "Actually, if we lose, I have already thought of a way out for Yulong Mountain, and you don't have to worry so much about Yihu." ”

Wang Yihu heard the old man's words, and his face was suddenly happy, "Really? Talk about it! ”

The old man's squinted eyes bent, "In case of defeat, we will go to Quanzhou, although it is the boundary under the jurisdiction of the Qi State, but after Hongwu surrendered to the imperial court, he secretly gradually strengthened the rest of the Taiping army. ”

"Hong Wu, Uncle Ye, didn't our Han Shan Army have never had anything to do with the Taiping Army before?"

"Yihu, you can't tell you what happened back then, you just need to know that the enemy of the enemy is our friend, and soon after a battle with the Qi army, won, we continue to be the king and hegemon in Weihai, and gradually expand the military strength of Yulong Mountain, defeated, we went to Quanzhou, took refuge in Hongwu, and conspired with him."

Wang Yihu looked at the old man in front of him, hugged his fists and said, "No, my nephew should remember Uncle Ye's teachings." ”

When the moon was in the sky, the stars were shining, and the night was thick, Wang Yihu left the gorgeous, remote courtyard where the old man lived with the hazy moonlight.

After Wang Yihu left, the old man came to the window of the house, opened the closed curtains, the cool breeze blew gently with the night, the old man took a light breath, looked at the moonlight, a quiet and peaceful village, seemed to remember something, and his eyes couldn't help flashing a trace of sadness.

Looking up at the stars in the sky, the old man seemed to remember the past, and whispered: "Brother Song, if we had accepted Hong Qing's invitation and fought against the Qi army with him, would the ending have changed?" ”

"Heh, I should have listened to my brother and went to southern Fujian to meet Hong Qing, so that my brothers would not die, let alone leave me alone."

The old man leaned alone on the windowsill, looking at the stars in the sky, and whispered, as if only by doing so would the pain in his heart be greatly reduced.

But there is no regret medicine in this world, and even if you regret the decision you made at the beginning, you don't feel that you have a chance to do it again.

Maybe the Han Shan Army and the Taiping Army jointly tore apart to overthrow the rule of Qi, or maybe not, but none of us can know the result.

Wang Yihu returned to his room, looked at his wife and children who had fallen asleep peacefully on the bed, came to the table, and wiped the double knife that had followed him for many years on the table.

The cold glow of the twin knives shone on his majestic cheeks, and in his heart, he had no greed for wealth and power, but some things were predestined from the beginning.

As soon as he was born, he was shackled with revenge, and when he arrived since he was a child, he felt that only when he looked at his wife and children could he be truly happy in his heart.

After wiping the knife and looking at the sweet wife and children sleeping on the bed, Wang Yihu smiled knowingly, turned off the light, and walked slowly to the big bed, and slowly lay down.

He moved very slowly, looked at his wife and children who were not woken up, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
