In March of the first year of Zhide, Funiu Mountain in Shaanxi County, the wind and sun are beautiful, the snow on the mountain has already melted, the grass and trees sprout, the spring flowers bloom, and the original snow-capped mountains are full of vitality.

On the mountainside, Song Wuyang was unkempt, wearing a suit of fine scale armor, and sat under an old elm tree. After a winter, the scale armor had long been in tatters, and the iron wire connecting the armor pieces had broken in several places, and the armor pieces had fallen, revealing seven or eight holes in the front chest and back, which did not look like armor, but looked like a hundred clothes. If it weren't for the saber hanging from his waist, anyone who looked at it would look like a flower child begging on the street.

The sunlight was projected through the branches and leaves, shining on his body, Song Wuyang yawned and stretched his long waist, but he heard a rumbling sound in his stomach.

"Take fast cakes and feed Lao Tzu's hunger!" Song Wuyang shouted.

A soldier hurriedly stepped forward, took out a piece of chaff cake from his arms, and sent it to Song Wuyang, the chaff cake was black, and he didn't know whether it was chaff or soil.

Song Wuyang glared: "Dog thing, you dare to give Lao Tzu this kind of thing!" ”

The little minion said: "Song Ye, now there are only bran cakes in the village, the two princesses have golden branches and jade leaves, and Fang Junshi, as the master of the cottage, can only eat this, if Song Ye can't eat the chaff cake, the small one will be taken back!" As he spoke, he put it back in his arms.

"If Fang is empty and can eat, why can't Lao Tzu eat!" Song Wuyang snatched the chaff cake, opened his mouth and mouthed it with a big mouth, gnawed off most of it, and chewed it fiercely.

Hearing a crisp sound, Song Wuyang screamed, spit out a peanut-sized stone and half a bloody tooth, threw half of the chaff cake in his hand out of the distance, grabbed the soldier's chest, and scolded: "You dog dare to put a stone in Lao Tzu's chaff cake, do you want to kill the general?" Lao Tzu slaughtered him! ”

The soldier said: "This can't complain about the villain, it's really that Song Ye eats too rudely, if Song Ye eats so finely like General Cao, where will he knock his teeth!" ”

Song Wuyang raised his eyes and looked over, only to see that under a mountain rock not far away, Cao Mengxuan was sitting on the ground against the mountain stone, holding half a piece of bran cake in his hand, but his eyes were staring at the bran cake, turning the bran cake over and over, and after a while, he picked out a small pebble, threw it aside, threw out seven or eight stones in a row, and saw that it was almost there, before putting it in his mouth and chewing slowly.

Song Wuyang let go of the soldiers, walked to Cao Mengxuan's side, and sighed: "Old Cao, I eat bran cakes every day, I was still fine bran two days ago, and I have eaten stones these days!" I'm afraid I can't go on with this life on Funiu Mountain! ”

Cao Mengxuan glanced at Song Wuyang and continued to chew the chaff, but he was silent.

Two months ago, Fang Ruoxu and Bu Yunfei broke up in Changling Village, and Bu Yunfei took Chao Yongzhi and Bayegu to Chang'an. Fang Ruoxu took Cangyan to Funiu Mountain, and the high-sounding saying is called self-cultivation and self-cultivation, but in fact, it is a fallen grass!

Fang Ruoxu gained a firm foothold on Funiu Mountain, so he sent someone to send a letter to Bai Xiaode of Yangquan Pass, telling him to abandon Yangquan Pass and come to Funiu Mountain to meet as soon as possible. Yangquan Pass is located in the territory of Hedong, which is Wang Chengye's territory, and Bai Xiaode sits alone in the lonely city, which is extremely dangerous. And Funiu Mountain Grass Creation also needs to strengthen its strength in order to protect itself.

Cangyandu originally had 600 soldiers, and took in more than 100 women in Changling Village, and later, Bai Xiaode came from Yangquan Pass with 300 military households, nearly 1,000 people and horses on Funiu Mountain, quite a little confident, with the steep mountains and rocks, there is no problem in self-preservation, and the Yan army is not afraid to attack.

But these 1,000 people eat, drink and Lazar has become a big problem!

When he left Changling Village, Fang Ruoxu asked everyone to collect some grain and grass, but where could it withstand the consumption of nearly a thousand people, and in less than ten days, that bit of grain was eaten completely. In winter, the heavy snow on Funiu Mountain covers the mountains, not to mention food, even wild beasts are nowhere to be seen, and they do not go out to hunt.

Fortunately, Fang Ruoxu had expected such a situation for a long time, and after going to Funiu Mountain, he sent people and horses to fetch food everywhere.

The area around Shaanxi County is not rich, and the people have been subjected to war again, and they have long been ten rooms and nine empty. The rich and rich have already fled into Guanzhong, and even if there are any remaining people, they are all poor, and Cang Yan can't bear to do it.

However, the Tang army and the Yan army started a tug-of-war in Shaanxi County, and the two sides attacked and defended each other, and from time to time there were soldiers, horses, grain and grass passing by. Fang Ruoxu ordered, whether it was the Tang army or the Yan army, they would attack at the first opportunity, and if they encountered a military horse escorting grain and grass, they would not let it go. Fang Ruoxu is also shrewd, knowing that Cangyan has few soldiers, he doesn't dare to fight hard with others, he doesn't dare to eat all the food and grass teams, as long as he takes a bite on it, he robs a few truckloads of grain and transports it back to the mountains.

Fang Ruoxu is so a rat stealing oil, but he is safe. Originally, the Tang army and the Yan army were at war, and both sides would send soldiers and horses to intercept each other's grain and grass. Therefore, no matter which party loses food and grass, they think that the other party did it. Besides, Fang Ruo didn't make much noise, and neither Tang nor Yan had suffered a big loss from him, but they just lost a few truckloads of grain and grass. Therefore, Fang Ruoxu fought a robbery in Shaanxi County for two months, and neither Yan nor Tang expected that there was a group of bandits on Funiu Mountain.

In this way, Fang Ruoxu lived a life of small wealth and peace on Funiu Mountain, but he was also free.

At the beginning, Bu Yunfei commented that the room was empty, more than self-preservation, and insufficient to attack the enemy, and he really knew people!

A month ago, Cui Qianyou defeated the Tang army at Lingbao. Fang Ruoxu also made a fortune by the way, taking advantage of the defeat of the Tang army, he took Cang Yandu to secretly rob a baggage team of the Tang army, robbing dozens of truckloads of grain, grass, wine and military salaries, as well as dozens of silk horses. When they returned to the cottage, they celebrated greatly, and the brothers gave each of them five taels of silver, and let go of a large amount of wine for three days. He also used the snatched silk to make a few new clothes for his wife's cherry inside and out, and dressed up beautifully. Seeing that it was not suitable for Cherry to wear silk alone, he had no choice but to send some silk to Qin Xiaoxiao, Qiu Aqing, and Chang Wan.

In short, the life of the cottage is not rich, but it can be regarded as well-off.

But it didn't take long for the good days to come!

After the Battle of Lingbao, the Tang army in Shaanxi County was completely wiped out, and there was no more fighting in the territory. Cui Qianyou, the commander of the Yan army, was appointed by the Great Yan Emperor An Qingxu as the envoy of the Shaanxi County Festival, and Cui Qianyou himself led a large army to capture Chang'an, and sent a staff member named Feng Ziqiao to sit in Shaanxi County. That Feng Ziqiao is very effective, and after a month, he has governed Shaanxi County in an orderly manner. Looting and harvesting grain, the more chaotic the better, now that the territory of Shaanxi County is in order, if Fang Ruoxu wants to fish in troubled waters, the difficulty will increase!

Following Feng Ziqiao to guard Shaanxi County, known as Xunleidu, although there are only 3,000 men, they are the most elite troops under Cui Qianyou, all of them are one of the best men in Liaodong, and most of them are Xi, Khitan, and Tongluo tribes, very strong, and well-equipped. From Luoyang to Tongguan, he fought as a striker all the way, and never suffered defeat. Such a strong army, even if it is the right army horse of Anxi Long, it does not dare to fight with it.

And Fang Ruoxu's Cangyan only has 1,000 people, among these 1,000 people, only the 600 people who originally followed Bu Yunfei to break through from Cangyan Mountain, and the 300 people brought by Bai Xiaode are all Yangquan military households, and they have not received decent training. If Fang Ruoxu wants to rely on these horses to fight on the boundary of Shaanxi County, it is equivalent to an egg hitting a stone.

Therefore, Fang Ruoxu saw that the world was peaceful, so he had to be a turtle with a shrunken head, and he didn't dare to go down the mountain easily, for fear of going head-to-head with Feng Ziqiao's Xunlei. In this way, he also concealed Feng Ziqiao in the city of Shaanxi County, and until now, Feng Ziqiao has not discovered that there is a group of people and horses hidden on Funiu Mountain.

But the problem is that Cang Yan is huddled on Funiu Mountain, sitting and eating the mountain. Only a few days after the days of drinking wine and eating meat in large bowls, I began to drink gruel. When the gruel had been drunk, they began to eat the chaff, and for the first two days there was fine chaff, but for the two days they had not even eaten the chaff, and the brothers ate chaff that had been scavenged from the grinding groove of the chaff, and it was full of stones.

People are iron and rice are steel, and the brothers Song Wuyang and Bai Xiaode couldn't sit still, and shouted all day long to go down the mountain to collect food. Fang Ruo scolded in his heart, who doesn't want to get food! But it also has to be divided into times, at this time, go down the mountain to collect grain, and if you don't get the food, you don't get the food, but you put people in, so how can the Xunlei in the city of Shaanxi County be easy to provoke!

Fang Ruo strictly ordered not to go down the mountain to collect grain, but he strengthened the vigilance of Funiu Mountain, and sent men and horses to patrol the mountains around Funiu Mountain every day to prevent Xunlei from sneaking attacks.

Today it was Song Wuyang's turn and Cao Mengxuan to patrol the mountain, and the two of them took eighty soldiers to circle around the top of the Jade Emperor of Funiu Mountain for half a circle, and came to the southwest corner, but they were sleepy and hungry. Take a break.

Let's say, Song Wuyang scolded and scolded, and his mouth kept complaining.

Suddenly, I heard the neighing of war horses and the dust flying on the main road down the mountain.

A soldier ran forward: "Bing Song Ye, Cao Ye, there is a team of Yan troops down the mountain, the number is only about 100 people, and there are dozens of carts in the team. Looking like this, it looks like he is going to Shaanxi County, and the cart is full of bulging bags, like a grain cart. ”

Song Wuyang's eyes suddenly lit up: "Car!" Fuck it! ”

Cao Mengxuan hurriedly said: "Old Song, the owner of the house has an order not to go down the mountain without authorization!" ”

These days, there is an endless stream of baggage teams from Tongguan to Shaanxi County, and every time, it is escorted by a large number of people, and Xunlei who are often stationed in Shaanxi County are answered. Therefore, Fang Ruo strictly ordered all departments not to act rashly, lest the robbery fail, but be bitten.

"Lao Cao, I think the owner of the house is too careful! There are only one hundred and eighty Yan troops under the mountain, and they are afraid of a bird! Song Wuyang didn't care about Cao Mengxuan, turned over on his horse, took the reins of the horse, and shouted: "Brothers, go down the mountain with Song Ye to rob grain." As long as you can grab the grain and grass and go up the mountain, you will be a copycat hero! ”

That Song Wuyang was very hungry, and the second escorted Yan soldiers and horses, and looking at the banner, it was not Xun Leidu, he was a lot bolder, and he ignored Fang Ruoxu's order, took the soldiers, showed off his might, rushed down the hillside, came to the main road, blocked the way of Yan Jun, danced a long knife in his hand, and shouted: "Bah! I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if you want to pass from now on, leave the grain and grass cart! ”

Song Wuyang originally thought that the Yan army was not many in number, and as long as he was strong, he could disperse the Yan army. Where did I think that the one hundred and ten Yan soldiers were not panicked, but the team was neat and put on a combat posture. The soldiers who followed behind Song Wuyang were in a mess.

I saw a black-faced general rushing out of the Yan army, one man and one horse, holding an iron gun, sneering at Song Wuyang, and without answering, he raised his gun and stabbed. Song Wuyang hurriedly raised his sword to parry, and in just one round, he was picked up by the black-faced general and knocked off the horse, and all the Yan troops rushed up and captured Song Wuyang alive.

Song Wuyang's soldiers were all Yangquan military households, and they had never seen a battle, and when they saw Song Wuyang being captured, they turned around and fled. The Yan army did not chase after him, escorted Song Wuyang, and left.

Halfway up the mountain, Cao Mengxuan was stunned when he saw Song Wuyang being captured.
