At the foot of Yinlong Mountain, Fu Gongyou walked up the mountainside with a few personal soldiers, the mountain is full of freshly built grass huts, and soldiers can be seen everywhere cutting trees to build houses, tens of thousands of soldiers need a lot of houses to live on the mountain, and many soldiers still live in tents.

Not only are houses being built, thousands of soldiers are also building a long defensive wall, like a belt around the mountainside.

Fu Gongyou shook his head, why is it getting worse and worse the more he mixes, he is also the Huai King and the general of the Emperor Tai, but now he has become a mountain king, and he will not make the world laugh when he spreads it?

Fu Gongyou also understands Du Xuan's mentality, Du Fuwei was almost wiped out by Zhang Xuan a few years ago, and he was especially afraid of Zhang Xuan's cavalry and naval army, so he chose to go up the mountain, but can he avoid Zhang Xuan's strangulation by going up the mountain? It can only be said that Du Fuwei thought about the problem too simply.

Walking through a mountain beam, a small mountain villa appeared in the valley in front, this is Du Fuwei's temporary palace, the gate of the villa was full of soldiers, all the soldiers saw the arrival of Fu Gongyou, they straightened their waists together, Fu Gongyou walked straight into the gate, waited in the gate for a while, a guard ran to salute and said: "Your Highness, please let the general in." ”

Fu Gongyou didn't say a word, and walked quickly into the inner hall, only to see Du Fuwei pacing back and forth in the hall alone, looking worried.

"Your Highness, what happened?" Fu Gongyou walked into the hall and asked.

Du Fuwei looked back at him and said with a wry smile: "Big brother, sit down first!" ”

Fu Gongyou came from a long journey, he was really a little tired, he sat down at the table, and a personal soldier came in to serve tea, at this time, Du Fuwei also sat down opposite, he was silent for a moment and said: "I just received news from Liyang that the grain we hid in Yugou Bay was discovered by the Sui army's sailors, and all the ships and grain were taken away by the Sui army. ”

Fu Gongyou said for a long time: "At the beginning, I advised you not to go up the mountain, concentrate the grain in the city, defend the city and fight against the Sui army, but you didn't listen."

Du Fuwei was upset for a while, and waved his hand to interrupt Fu Gongyou's words, "What's the point of saying this now, since the eldest brother is here, just say something useful, instead of always complaining about the past, like a resentful woman." ”

"Okay!"

Fu Gongyou said helplessly: "I won't talk about the past, it's really not interesting to just complain, let's talk about what we should do!" Today I came here to tell Brother Xian that the grain reserves of Banyang Mountain are only 30,000 stones, and there are 40,000 troops on the mountain, which will be exhausted in a month and a half at most, and the three granaries I stored near Xiang'an County have all been ended, and 20,000 stones of grain have been lost. ”

Du Fuwei was silent, and when he initially decided to go up the mountain, his generals opposed it, but he insisted on going his own way and forced the army to go up the mountain, thinking that in this way he could avoid the powerful cavalry and navy of the Sui army, but he did not expect that the Sui army was clearing the periphery, causing him heavy losses, if it continued like this, the grain and weapons he had worked hard to store in the past two years would be swept away by the Sui army.

"What about big brother?"

Fu Gongyou felt that Du Fuwei's tone was a little loose, and hurriedly persuaded: "It's not too late to make amends, fighting according to the mountain is not in line with the identity of a virtuous brother, and it can't last long, more importantly, we are trapped in the mountain, once the army is defeated, where we flee, it will be different in the plains, even if we fail, we have a way out." ”

Perhaps it was the last sentence that moved Du Fuwei, and he sighed, "Let me think about it again!" ”

Fu Gongyou temporarily retreated, Du Fuwei paced back and forth in the room with his hands, weighing all kinds of pros and cons, in fact, he had realized in his heart that his decision to go up the mountain was a serious mistake, he was the Huai King canonized by Emperor Tai, and he was politically legal, it was for this reason that the local government and the scholars began to gradually accept him, but when he decided to go up the mountain, all his previous efforts were in vain, seriously damaged his political legitimacy, and became a mountain bandit, which made Du Fuwei regret in his heart.

In the afternoon, Du Fuwei finally issued an order, the whole army gave up Yinlong Mountain and Banyang Mountain, and the whole army went down the mountain to gather in Hefei, the reason why he chose Hefei was because he still had six warehouses around Hefei, 70,000 stone grain and a large number of soldiers, he decided to take Hefei as his nest and fight a decisive battle with the Sui army.

．．．．．．

According to the information confessed by the warehouse guards, Du Fuwei's main force hid in Banyang Mountain and Yinlong Mountain, which are two big mountains located in Xiang'an County, Lujiang County, about 150 miles apart, both of which are reckless mountains with a radius of tens of miles and can hide a million troops.

In the afternoon of this day, several foot merchants from Jiangdu appeared in a small town at the foot of Yinlong Mountain, the town is called Longdong Town, as the name suggests, it is a small town east of Yinlong Mountain.

The town is not big, about 100 households, a stone road runs through the whole town, on both sides of the dissatisfaction with dozens of small shops, pubs, inns, brothels, blacksmith shops, grocery stores, etc., because this is the only way to go to Hefei, the town is quite lively, the business of each shop is good, the two taverns are full of guests, all from all over the accent.

Three foot merchants sat by the innermost window, the leader of whom was bearded, dark-skinned, and spoke in a voice like a broken gong, which was particularly harsh.

"Why are you two so annoying, what does it matter if you have a glass of wine, is it possible that a glass of wine will make a big mistake, no! Mistaken Hefei's deal. ”

His voice was so loud that it could be heard throughout the tavern, and many people looked back at them.

These three foot merchants are scouts sent by the Sui army, and the leader of the businessmen is the general Cheng Biting Jin, after Cheng Biting Jin returned to Sui, Zhang Xuan named him the general of Huyalang, and sent him to the scout army, Zhang Xuan felt that he had the talent to be a scout, although the scout army commander Shen Guang repeatedly refused, unwilling to accept this famous three-no general, but Zhang Xuan still forced Cheng Biting Jin to the scout army.

Fortunately, Cheng Biting Jin has no official frame, although he is a tiger tooth general, he still fights with ordinary soldiers, and is secretly despised by the officers, but the soldiers like him very much, and soon, his reputation spread throughout the Sui army and became a major alternative in the Sui army.

Today, Cheng Biting Jin's task is to find out the situation of Du Fuwei's army in Hidden Dragon Mountain, and this kind of thing is not the turn of a tiger tooth like Cheng Biting Jin to come out, but Cheng Biting Jin took the initiative to ask Ying and came to Hidden Dragon Town with two elite scouts to inquire about the news.

The two scouts were as big as a fight, and they felt that this General Cheng was actually looking for an excuse to come to Yinlong Town to drink, and he had already drunk two pots of wine, and he was still unsatisfied, no, he started to ask for the third pot of wine again.

"Shopkeeper, this can't be done, it's really going to be a mistake."

"You know a fart, when did Lao Tzu drink and make a mistake? Besides, three pots of wine are nothing, there is no half jar, and Lao Tzu used to drink one jar. ”

That being said, Cheng Biting Jin's tongue was already a little curled, and the immeasurable details of the good wine began to leak out.

At this time, the bartender walked briskly with the wine and food, "The wine is here!" ”

He put the wine jug on the table and said with a smile: "The guest officer uses it slowly, and you need wine to find me again?" ”

He turned around to leave, but Cheng Biting Jin grabbed him and said drunkly: "Let me ask you, are there robbers on this mountain?" ”

The two scouts were taken aback, there was such a direct question to others, they hurriedly made their eyes, Cheng Yanjin just ignored it, "Tell me, I invite you to drink!" ”

The bartender couldn't break free, so he had to smile bitterly and said, "There used to be, but now there isn't." ”

"Nonsense! Yesterday we went up the mountain to play, Tai Niang's, what bullshit hidden dragon mountain, Lao Tzu said that it was the mouse mountain, met a group of thieves and rats, they said that it was Du Fuwei's subordinates, robbed Lao Tzu's goods and money, Lao Tzu was not happy, tomorrow Lao Tzu is looking for Du Fuwei to settle accounts. ”

"No, it won't! King Huai's army left Yinlong Mountain three days ago, how could there still be his army on the mountain, the guest officer must have been deceived. ”

The two scouts glanced at each other, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised, but they didn't expect to ask for information by mistake, it turned out that Du Fuwei was no longer on the mountain.

Cheng Biting Jin refused to give up, and scolded angrily with three points of alcohol: "Bullshit! Where did he go, Lao Tzu wanted to settle accounts with him. ”

The bartender said helplessly: "He led the army to Hefei City, and the guest officer will go to Hefei if he wants to find him!" ”

．．．．．．

Coming out of the tavern, Cheng Yanjin burped and said triumphantly to the two subordinates: "You have seen it!" Lao Tzu inquired about Du Fuwei's news so obviously, but nothing unexpected happened, if Du Fuwei was still on the mountain, the streets would definitely be full of his spies. ”

The two subordinates shook their heads secretly, as scouts like him, they would have died a long time ago, and it could only be said that he was lucky, just as Du Fuwei withdrew his troops and left.

However, this General Cheng is a Huya Lang general, and the two soldiers can't afford to offend and dare not accuse them in person, one of his subordinates said: "General Cheng, although this information seems to be reliable, it must be further confirmed, we still have to go up the mountain." ”

"Oops! Recently, my waist is not very good, and it hurts a lot as soon as I climb the mountain, so be it! I'll wait for you in the town, find a Lang Zhong to see a doctor, and buy a plaster or something. (To be continued.) )
