"Who planted the alder in the sky, who opened the Yellow River underground, who guarded the three passes, who left the house and didn't come back, that babbling cough, who didn't come back. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info That babbling cough, the heavenly alder is planted by the queen mother, the underground Yellow River is the old dragon Wang Kai, Yang Liulang guards the three passes, Han Xiangzi didn't come back when he left home, that babbling cough, Han Xiangzi didn't come back when he became a monk, that babbling cough. Bright and melodious mountain songs swayed in the mountains, and the old man drove a small group of goats along the winding path.

The goats were quietly gnawing on the grass on the side of the mountain road, and the old man took out the sheepskin pot and drank a sip of water, and drove the sheep forward. But the sheep seemed to be a little frightened, and they were reluctant to move, and the old man's whip fell, and he cursed in his mouth: "The devil is stunned, beast, go, go!" ”

The goat slowly moved its hooves under the whip, but before he could walk twice, the old man's face suddenly changed, and there was a neat vibration on the ground, and the old man immediately knew that this was the sound of footsteps, the footsteps of many people. The mountain road turned a corner, and the old man wanted to drive the sheep away, but a group of people at the end of the road had already appeared in view.

That's a team of people, to be exact. These people were dressed in colorful clothes, which made people look strange, but they were uniformly dressed, with exactly the same clothes and a hat, and they carried a large bag and a musket on their shoulders.

The old man's face changed completely, this was obviously a group of soldiers, their steps were neat, their movements were quite fast, the old man already knew that he would never be able to dodge, these soldiers could catch up with him in an instant when they ran. Even if he gave up all his belongings, he was an elderly mountain man, and he might not be able to outrun those young men, not to mention, they still had firearms.

Sure enough, a young man came running. His right hand turned into a knife and placed it at the temple position, the old man didn't understand what he meant, and hurriedly hit Qian'er and said: "Master Jun, the little old man is the villager in this mountain, and the whole family is pointing to herding sheep for a living." Don't take the little old man's sheep, the little old man burned incense for the military master. ”

The young man smiled and said, "This uncle, we have nothing to do with you, we are looking for you to ask about something." ”

"Huh? Don't want sheep, don't want sheep, don't want sheep. The old man stroked his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

Only then did the old man ask with some suspicion: "The military master is not a soldier of the Green Battalion?" ”

"Uncle, don't call a military master, it's weird. My surname is Liu, so you can call me Xiao Liu. ”

The lad wasn't done yet. The old man said, "How dare you." ”

The old man also saw that these flowery soldiers were very talkative, and this young man had a smile on his face, and he didn't look like a bad guy. A group of soldiers on the other side also rested on the road, and a middle-aged officer who looked to be about forty years old also came over.

"Hello uncle."

"Eh, the military master is good, the military master is good."

The officer shook his head and said, "Just call me Xiao Xie, you are much older than me." I can't afford to be a master. ”

The old man was very strange, he had met those green battalion soldiers in the mountains. All of them are arrogant, and they even robbed the mountain people's things, when did they talk so well.

The young man said: "Naturally, we are not the Green Battalion, let alone the Eight Banners. We are the Don Army. ”

The old man is an ordinary villager who lives in the mountains, living in a closed environment, and does not deliberately inquire about outside affairs. Naturally, I don't know that the capital has changed the king's banner at the head of the city. At this time, he finally found a problem: "What about your braids?" ”

The officer surnamed Xie said with a smile: "We are not lackeys who serve the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but the Tang Army that fights the world for us ordinary people, so naturally we will not have braids." ”

The old man's face turned green: "Are you a rebel bandit?" ”

The young man smiled: "How fresh, we haven't eaten this Qingguo rice." If you haven't drunk the water of the Qing Kingdom, how did you become a rebel bandit? But uncle, that Qianlong Emperor did let us get rid of the dragon chair, and now we have been taken away and thrown overseas. Now in the capital, it is our Tang Dynasty who is in charge. ”

The old man was already messy: "What? The emperor of the Qing Dynasty asked you to arrest him? Is there a new emperor? ”

The officer surnamed Xie smiled helplessly: "There is no new emperor, alas, I can't explain this matter to you, anyway, you know, this Manchu Qing Dynasty has made us almost vomit blood." ”

The old man was not stupid, and suddenly understood a question: "Are you going into the mountains to fight the green battalion soldiers on the side of the Great Wall of Gubeikou?" ”

The officer surnamed Xie nodded and said, "Yes, we want to ask, uncle, do you know any recent movements of the Green Battalion over there in Gubeikou?" Are there any Green Battalion soldiers stationed nearby? ”

The old man said: "If I tell you, won't I be a traitor to the party?" ”

Xiao Xie and Xiao Liu glanced at each other and couldn't help but smile bitterly, they couldn't be strong against the old man, Xie Jinwu could only say: "The emperor is gone, where are you going to do this traitor?" ”

The old man clapped his hands and said, "It seems to be the same reason." Then I'll tell you, look at you all like good people, those in Gubeikou are not good things, and the people in the village are bullied by them. Originally, a few days ago, this green battalion soldier was still wandering around the mountains, I don't know why, recently they are guarding the Great Wall and not coming out, I heard people say that a few days ago, dozens of horsemen were sent out from the pass, and they went to the northwest. ”

Xie Jinwu looked serious, and said to Xiao Liu beside him: "Go to the northwest, it may be to Xuanhua Town for help, or even to Inner Mongolia further north, to find the prince of Horqin Zasak and the princes of Chahar Eight Banners who belong to Mongolia for help, this is important information, and it needs to be reported to Yuan Zongzhi immediately." ”

Xiao Liu nodded, and asked again: "What about our actions?" ”

Xie Jinwu said: "Our plan of action remains unchanged, Changqing has sent people to Xuanhua Town and Inner Mongolia to ask for help, so we should take the Gubeikou Pass and ensure the defense of the capital." ”

The old man suddenly interjected: "I see that you are only a few hundred people, but there are four or five thousand Qing troops over there in Gubeikou, and the city is still guarded, how can you fight?" ”

Xie Jinwu said with a smile: "You can't beat it, you have to try it to know." ”

The old man felt that these people's brains were broken, and he actually rushed to die. Xie Jinwu explained to him again, and did not embarrass the old man, let him drive the sheep to himself, and gave him two silver dollars and some food before leaving, and the old man also thanked him a thousand times, saying that he would not go to the informant.

Xie Jinwu is the head of the Shenwei Regiment of the Second Brigade of the Tang Army, a member of the Republic of China, like Ju Guochong, and a former KMT officer, but unlike Ju Guochong of the Tiger Regiment, who was born in the central department of the Huangpu Military Academy, he is a local faction and graduated from the Yunnan Army Martial Arts Hall in Longyun. This time, he led the troops of two and a half battalions of the Shenwei Regiment to go deep into the Jundu Mountain, and the goal was to capture Gubeikou. (To be continued.) )
