Shanyue is the common name of the descendants of the ancient Yue people who were distributed in the mountainous areas of the central part of the Yangtze River during the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty.

For hundreds of years in the Qin and Han dynasties, there was a long-term ethnic integration, and the difference between Shanyue and the Han people was not very large, and there were some Han people who fled the war and disasters into the mountains.

Yamagoe is mainly agricultural, growing cereals. Copper and iron are produced in the mountains, and they are self-casting. They are scattered and live in small clusters, are good at practicing martial arts, and rely on mountain dangers to form cottages, and their leaders are called "handsome".

Most of the mountains live among the 100,000 mountains in the Qianli Nanling Range. Cave after hole, mountain after mountain. is not a native of Shanyue, and he doesn't know where to go.

Among the 100,000 mountains, hundreds of thousands of Shanyue people live. Among them, the elite warriors are proficient in archery, concealment, and tracking. Although the special combat members of the Great Qin Blade were superior, when the enemy deliberately dodged, they had no choice.

In the mountains, there are no roads at all, and the road is even extremely difficult. However, crossing the past must save too much time than traveling thousands of miles.

Due to the harassment of the Shanyue people, the army of Emperor Qin Feng of Hongwu had stayed in the middle of Nanling for ten days.

The characteristics of scattered and small gatherings of Shanyue people seem to be everywhere, and it seems that they cannot be found there. It is the blade of the Great Qin, and if you want to explore the 100,000 mountains, you must consume a long time.

In later generations, the Shanyue people often harassed the Soochow region, and it took several generations of Soochow generations to completely solve this problem.

What Hongwu Emperor Qin Feng lacks most is time, and he has not had internal friction with Shanyue people for decades.

At present, the only way is to find the general nest of the Shanyue people. Sweep away Shanyue Dashuai and Qu Shuai.

As a result, Emperor Hongwu overrode public opinion. Be prepared to take a risk. In order to solve the Jiangnan Shanyue in the shortest possible time.

this day. 20,000 Qin troops were besieged at the foot of Tianzhu Mountain.

Liu Xuan, the handsome Shanyue in charge of the southeast direction, was ecstatic, pointed to the battle formation of the Qin army, and shouted: "Do you see it, the one wearing gold armor and riding a white horse is Emperor Hongwu." Whoever killed Emperor Hongwu, the marshal named him Qu Shuai! ”

Not only Liu Guan's side, but also Qu Shuai Huang Chao on the opposite side, and the thief Marshal Fei Zhan and Qu Shuai Pan Lin on the left and right, each led 10,000 Shanyue soldiers to attack the Qin army.

The shouts of killing shook the sky. Since it was in the mountains, there was almost no formation to speak of, and the shape shì was very chaotic.

In the Qin army array, Jia Xu wore a golden helmet and gold armor, and held Emperor Hongwu's Zhenwu Taiji gun in both hands. The white-haired man used to play with curtains, but this time he suddenly came to the front line, which was really frightening and sweating profusely.

Only then did Jia Xu know that it took courage to charge into battle. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are brave, you are Shengming! The old minister can't stand it, the old minister is leaving! ”

Lao Jia Xu doesn't care so much anymore. Shouting loudly to escort the car, he rushed north under the protection of the Royal Foresters.

In the mountains, above the trees. There are many Yamagoe marksmen hidden. One of them, glowing with a blazing light. The arrow was aimed at Jia Xu, who was pretending to be Hongwu. However, the man was soon stunned.

"Wow!" Jia Xu shouted. An arrow in the chest fell from a horse. When the surrounding Imperial Forest Army exclaimed and closed the siege, Jia Xu hurriedly shouted, "Hurry up, just be seriously injured and die, retreat quickly!" ”

The Imperial Forest Army breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that it was their own people who shot a short arrow, and Jia Xu cooperated with the acting.

The Yamagoe marksman was confused, looked left and right, and said that it might be an arrow released by another brother. He also quickly got down from the tree and informed Qu Shuai of the news.

As a result, the 20,000 Qin troops retreated quickly. Although the Shanyue people were very imposing, the Qin army was well-equipped and did not suffer much loss.

"It's a pity that in the end, Emperor Hongwu ...... gone." Shanyue Qu Shuai Huang Chao, who was in charge of the siege in the northwest, said to a person beside him: "It's a pity that the news sent by my brother ......." ”

I saw that this person was wearing a black shoulder on his upper body, a black hakama on his lower body, and a hat with horns. There were two giant men beside him, one of whom was majestic, and the other was ten girths of his waist. Behind the three hundred mountain warriors, all of them are mighty and majestic.

This person claims to be the remnant of the former Danyang Shanyue Sect Shuai Zulang, named Heshan. It was the Huang Chao he notified, and the other heroes and commanders contacted by the Huang Chao surrounded Emperor Hongwu's 20,000 soldiers and horses.

Before this person could speak, Liu Guan, Fei Zhan, and Pan Lin laughed and came over, and shouted: "Huang Qushuai, your good information, Emperor Hongwu is shot by an arrow, and he will definitely die!" The handsome Peng Qi must be rewarded. ”

Liu Guan, a handsome man in the southern and central areas of the Three Kingdoms period recorded in later generations.

Fei Zhan, later generations recorded that he was a handsome Danyang thief at the beginning, and was sealed by Cao Cao as Qi Chun Taishou, fanning Shanyue, and making an internal response.

Pan Lin, later generations recorded that at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Shanyue Qu Shuai who was entrenched in Huiji, Jiangdong, was later exterminated by Lu Xun with troops.

Huang Chao, a member of the Shanyue tribe, later led the mountain people of Jian'an, Xindu, and Poyang counties to launch a large-scale resistance against the Sun Wu regime.

These four people are extremely famous "handsome" in Shanyue, and Peng Qi, the handsome man in their mouths, has led tens of thousands of Shanyue in later generations to capture the counties of Dongwu.

Huang Chao was overjoyed when he heard this, patted Heshan's shoulder, and laughed: "Brother Heshan, you have made a great contribution this time." ”

Heshan is naturally Qin Feng, and he said in his heart that if I don't make a great contribution, how can I go straight to Huanglong. said modestly: "This is all the credit of Qu Shuai." ”

Huang Ranha laughed, "No, no, Heshan's great achievement, our great achievement!" ”

Pan Lin and the three of them were very puzzled, and after careful inquiry, they learned that it was the news sent by Heshan. Seeing the majesty of the people he led, he didn't dare to underestimate it. But Pan Lin and the three of them are well-known Qu Shuai, and they have more than 100 tribes under their command, and they will not deliberately make friends with the newcomer Qin Feng.

However, Huang Chao made meritorious service because of this, so he smiled and said: "Brother Heshan, Ben Shuai will take you to Tianyue Mountain to meet the handsome Peng Qi." He said to Pan Lin and the others, "Do you want to go together?" ”

This battle was a big victory, and Emperor Hongwu was shot down, but it was a great merit, and Pan Lin and the three of them naturally wanted to go to Dashuai. So, everyone agreed.

Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, he was here for this. Among these 100,000 mountains, holes in caves, and mountains in the mountains, there is no real nest of the enemy at all. His real plan was to enter the interior of Shanyue and obtain specific information about the enemy's copycat. Send troops immediately, or encircle and annihilate them. Or each break.

Therefore, Qin Jun figured out such a strategy. Let Jia Xu pretend to be himself, send the news by himself, and then let Jia Xu pretend to be an arrow. This is a great merit, thinking that the marshal will definitely be able to give him a Shanyue official position, if the entire Qu Shuai does it, it will be regarded as really penetrating the enemy's core.

So, Qin Feng said more modestly: "Just ask Qu Shuai to introduce ......." ”

"Well said!" Huang Chao admires this Heshan very much, and at the same time wants to win over Heshan, and in the future, he may be a helper for him to be a handsome.

Thereupon. Huang Chao and others ordered the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to return to the village, only taking hundreds of guards, taking Qin Feng and looking into the depths of the mountain. Along the way, Huang Chao talked about everything and deliberately made friends.

And Qin Feng naturally couldn't ask for it, so the relationship between the two was harmonious, so it was not a problem.

After nine turns and eighteen turns, Qin Feng was already in a daze among the mountains, and only then was he behind a waterfall deep in the canyon behind a small hill behind a big mountain. Suddenly, I discovered the cave. Fortunately, he made secret notes along the way, otherwise ten Qin Feng would not have been able to remember the route.

This is a valley in the valley, and there is a high mountain of hundreds of zhang on the opposite side. The vegetation is lush and lush. There are many wooden houses of various sizes, as well as attics.

When you come to the foot of the mountain, you will see the gatehouse with a tall wooden archway. Written on the four big characters of "Tianyue Mountain".

Legend has it that this is the birthplace of the ancestors of Yamagoe. It is the ancestral mountain, and now it is the lair of Peng Qi, the handsome man of Shanyue.

Qin Feng followed Huang Chao all the way into the mountain. I found that the road in the mountain was specially dug very winding, and the corners were all dangerous places, there were military houses, and there were arrow houses on the trees.

Therefore, Qin Feng planned to outwit it, and after finding out the details, he would mobilize the blade of Great Qin, not beheading, but just taking prisoners. After controlling the people led by Shanyue, the Shanyue army had no power to act, and Qin Feng could cross the Nanling Ridge along the way, and then he could send people to subdue him.

After walking for half an hour, I finally entered the cottage of Shanyue under the top of the mountain. If you walk in a straight line, Qin Feng believes that up and down is about a kilometer, and you can do it in two minutes after running.

Therefore, Tianyue Mountain is very steep, and the road is complex and secret, easy to defend and difficult to attack. In addition, in the mountains and dense forests, there are Shanyue eyeliner everywhere. I am afraid that as soon as the Qin army appeared, Shanyue would be able to organize a large number of men and horses, either against the enemy or transfer.

Many mountain people came in and out, looking curiously at Qin Feng and the three hundred Great Qin royal guards he had brought.

Qin Feng was also looking at them, these Shanyue people had different customs from the Han people, they didn't have too many ritual constraints, and they were in the sultry mountains in the south. The woman wears a vest that exposes her lower abdomen, and a cloth skirt that does not reach her knees.

The young girls all have long black and beautiful hair, long water, and big eyes. Barefoot, or wearing straw sandals.

There are not many women, but the Hongwu Emperor Qin Feng and his guards are still feasting their eyes.

The men here are all warriors, and their attire is even simpler, a pair of trousers, shirtless, a strong chest with two belts tied at will, and weapons on their backs.

Shanyue does not have too many people in one mountain, and there are about 3,000 people in Yueshan on this day. Ninety percent are soldiers, training day and night, and they are the most elite armed forces in Shanyue. Yicheng is a woman who takes care of some daily life. This cottage is a military village.

The stronghold of Peng Qi, the marshal of Shanyue, was not in the cottage, but in the higher and more dangerous wooden castle on the top of the mountain, where 500 armed forces were stationed.

Three steps, one post, five steps and one card, after passing through three heavy gates, Qin Feng walked into the castle.

And in the Baiyue Hall, which is similar to the Juyi Hall, I met Peng Qi, the handsome Shanyue.

Peng Qi is a rugged middle-aged man with a big beard, a round face, and a bald head. A pair of eyes that are big and bright, with a hooked nose. At this moment, sitting on a tiger skin chair, there are burly and hideous Yamagoe warriors on the left and right. When he heard Huang Chao's report, he was shocked.

"Emperor Hongwu has been hit by an arrow! Hahaha, good, good, let Daqin know that our Shanyue people are powerful. Peng Qi has been fighting with Eastern Wu for many years, and now that Great Qin has replaced Eastern Wu, he naturally converted his opponent into Great Qin, "It's better to die, ahahaha......." ”

Shanyue is also rewarded for meritorious service, and punished for guilt.

Suddenly, Peng Qi's heart moved, and he got up and said: "Heshan, you came thousands of miles from Danyang to join me, and you have made great contributions, so you can't help but appreciate it." Well......, this handsome man named you the fifth marshal of Shanyue, and your name is after the Yellow Mess, how about it? ”

"What!"

"Qu Shuai!"

Including Huang Ran's and other Qu Shuai, everyone was taken aback. Huang Chao frowned slightly, he thought it would be a village leader or the other, but he didn't expect it to be Qu Shuai. However, Hongwu was hit by the arrow, who Emperor Hongwu was, everyone knew very well, that is, Emperor Qin and Han Wu also had to stand aside. In this way, Qin Feng's great merit is indeed enough to be a commander.

Huang Chao thought about it again, Qin Feng was new, and his position was at the end, so he was not a threat to him. The relationship has been good in the past few days, and it will be a helping arm in the future, so Huang Chao agreed, and said: "The handsome man will be rewarded for his merit, and the great merit of the Heshan brothers is higher than the sky, and he deserves this Qu Shuai." ”

And under the great merit, Pan Lin and the others can't say anything.

Qin Feng was overjoyed. It seems that Jia Xu's play is also good. And Qin Feng's idea is not bad, the credit of shooting Emperor Hongwu is like the sky, and he really got the status of Qu Shuai. In this way, he can be regarded as penetrating the core of the enemy.

Qin Feng arched his hand and said very imposingly: "Thank you......." ”

"Slow!" At this time, a cry of displeasure came from the side.

Qin Feng followed the prestige and saw that he was a very strong young man.

Huang Chao hurriedly reminded on the side: "Brother Heshan, this person's name is Chen Ce, and he is the number one general under the commander. has always hoped to be promoted, and it seems that he is not convinced. ”

Sure enough, Chen Ce came out and bowed to Peng Qi, glanced at Qin Feng with disdain, and said, "Dashuai, this person will be sealed as soon as he comes, I don't accept it, do you accept it?" He stirred up again.

"Not convinced!" In the Baiyue Hall, the Shanyue generals who were relied on by Peng Qi expressed their dissatisfaction. After all, Qin Feng is a newcomer, even if he has merit, he can first seal the owner and leader of the village. As soon as they came up, they were naturally unconvinced.

Peng Qi saw that his subordinates opposed his opinion, not only was he not angry, but a smile flashed in his eyes. (To be continued......)
