Under the attack of artillery fire, Yang Chenglei led his subordinates to fight and retreat. Before Lu Shizhou's troops went straight to the mountain, Yang Chenglei was injured by rockets in more than a dozen places, and his strength became weaker and weaker, and he lost his previous might. Lu Shizhou carried a long knife, slapped the horse and rushed up, and aimed at Yang Chenglei, who could not run far on the ground, is a knife, due to excessive force, Yang Chenglei's head suddenly flew several zhang away, and blood splashed Lu Shizhou's body.

Poor Yang Chenglei, his head fell to the ground, his eyes were still open, and he glared at Lu Shizhou angrily. Lu Shizhou couldn't help but be afraid, and ordered the soldiers to cover Yang Chenglei's head with a white cloth, and Yang Chenglei's body fell down, and the hands holding the bronze sledgehammer still did not let go. Lu Shizhou ordered his subordinates to move the corpses together, and his heart calmed down a little.

The Chu army broke through the last line of defense of the Feishan army, so they attacked the Feishan base camp. Pan Jinsheng only had more than 100 people left, he picked up the big axe of the door panel, and slashed at the Chu army that was constantly pouring in, and he used nirvana, and the Chu army was not afraid, and surrounded Pan Jinsheng. Lu Shizhou knew that he couldn't beat Pan Jinsheng alone, so he wanted the crossbowmen hiding in the shadows to take the opportunity to send cold arrows.

Pan Jinsheng was hit by four arrows in his body, bleeding nonstop, and scolded: "Damn, Lu Shizhou, you have the ability to fight alone with Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will let you make three moves!" ”

"When you die, you still have a hard mouth, so I won't fight you!" Lu Shizhou stood in the distance, sneering, "Brothers, go up, consume Pan Laojin!" ”

Under the siege of the Chu army, Pan Jinsheng was injured by swords in many places, but the Chu army was too numerous to kill, and he was so tired that he was out of breath.

"I'm coming! Pan Lao Jin. Look at the moves! Lu Shizhou got off the horse, danced his meteor sledgehammer wildly, and fought against Pan Jinsheng. Chu Jun cheered on the side: "Handsome, too!" ”

Pan Jinsheng's physical exertion was too great, and after several fights, the big axe was firmly entangled by Lu Shizhou's meteor hammer and could not fight back. So dozens of people from the Chu army rushed up, held down Pan Jinsheng to the death, captured the first warrior of Feishan who had made them suffer a lot, and then tied Pan Jinsheng honestly with a rope.

Pan Jinsheng spat at Lu Shizhou's face: "Lu Shizhou, you villain, let Lao Tzu go, dare you let Lao Tzu go, and fight again!" ”

"Hey, hey, think beautifully, the general of the defeated army is embarrassed to say that he will fight with me again, and go in your dreams!" Lu Shizhou was not annoyed and wiped the saliva from his face.

An adjutant general ran into the cave and whispered a few words in Lu Shizhou's ear, and Lu Shizhou's face changed greatly: "Withdraw the troops today, pass on my order, and return to the camp quickly!" ”......

When Yang Zaisi's rescue troops arrived, they learned that Yang Chenglei had been killed, nearly 3,000 people had died in the Feishan army, Pan Jinsheng had been captured to Wugang (now Chengbu County), and the Chu army had been withdrawn for a long time. The mountain was destroyed, and the fire continued to spread.

Therefore, after Yang Zaisi buried Yang Chenglei and other dead brothers, he began to rebuild Feishan Mountain, "camp Feishan", and took Feishan as the "village" (ancient military administrative unit), and "Feishanzhai" got its name from this.

In order to extinguish the mountain fires and restore his homeland, Yang Zaisi also organized more than 10 rescue teams to go to the "flying mountain barbarian" villages to fight the mountain fires and rescue the surviving tribesmen, their property and means of production.

In order to save the Feishan people to the greatest extent and save the situation in danger, Yang Zaisi set up many outposts in the river valley near the swamp, one to guard the pass, and the other to meet those "Feishan Man" people who entered the swamp, and Chengzhou City became a safe area for the "Feishan Man" people.

After Yang Zaisi and his troops put out the fire, the mountain fire that had been burning for more than two months was finally extinguished. Under the washing of the spring rain, the sky in the Feishan area has become clear and clear again. Yang Zaisi rescued a large number of "Feishanman" people and laid the foundation for the reconstruction of "Feishanman".

At the same time, Yang Zaisi sent elite soldiers to Wugang to rescue Pan Jinsheng. By the time they arrived, Pan Jinsheng had been beheaded by Lu Shizhou, so he took back the body for a funeral and donated silver to comfort the bereaved families of the 3,000 victims. Pan Jinsheng and Cheng Lei's 13 Miao Man, who had heard of Zaisi's reputation for virtue and governance, were grateful and appeased, so they unanimously supported Yang Zaisi as their common leader and obeyed his unified governance.

Besides, Lu Shizhou led his troops to the border of Chengzhou, and a general said: "Lu Shuai, by the way, kill Yang Zaisi." ”

Lu Shizhou is a warlord who is proficient in tactics, not a reckless man, and he knows the truth that soldiers are not in danger: "Yang Zaisi did not invade Wugang, he has no grievances and no hatred, and he can't fight him to the death." ”

"What a rare opportunity, handsome." The ministry said.

"Preserving strength is the most important thing, I won't do such a thing as killing 3,000 enemies and losing 800 myself, I have exhausted my family background, how can I gain a foothold in the future?" Lu Shizhou said with a smile.

"Yang Zaisi and Pan Jinsheng are in a group, so they should cut the grass and eradicate the roots. If you don't get rid of the evil, there will be endless evil! ”

"It's extremely stupid, the goal this time is to behead the Feishan Mountain Chief Pan Jinsheng and others, do you understand?"

"Since the grass is beaten, why not scare the snake? It's just a matter of taking the sheep by the hand. ”

"Needless to say, Song Qi is still waiting for Ben Shuai to drink tea in Chenzhou, and Yang Zaisi and my king have always had a good relationship, so they are not on the list of strikes, so let's hang them out."

So Lu Shizhou commanded the troops to quietly pass through the edge of Yang Zaisi's territory and went to the direction of Chenzhou, and there was no exchange of fire between the two troops.

After Lu Shizhou successfully attacked "Feishan Pass", he was anxious to find another "enemy" Song Ye to settle accounts. Lü Shizhou and Song Ye fought a bitter battle, although they won, but the officers and soldiers suffered heavy casualties, the troops were greatly consumed, Lü Shizhou had no ability to deal with Yang Zaisi, so he had to withdraw his troops from the "Feishanman" area.

The second and third brothers were killed, which made him very sad. After this battle, Yang Zaisi swore not to serve Liang, nor to attach to Chu, and everyone regarded it as the history of Chengzhou Thorn, which became more and more prestigious, and was called Linggong. Yang Zaisi became the savior of the "Feishan Barbarian" tribe, and was worshiped as the prince of Feishan and the god of Feishan, and the story of Yang Zaisi extinguishing the flames of war also spread.

After the Battle of Feishan, Yang Zaisi saw the cruelty and tragedy of the war, and swore not to serve Liang, nor to attach to Chu, and still used the "Tianyou" year name of Emperor Zhaoxuan of Tang Zhao.

In the second year of the Later Liang Dynasty (912), Yang Zaisi privately changed Xuzhou to Chengzhou, in order to show the meaning of "sincerity and stubbornness" and the people of "Feishanman" jointly guarded Chengzhou City. On the one hand, Yang Zaisi strengthened the city of Chengzhou, built fortifications, and was ready to attack the incoming enemy at any time. On the other hand, he strictly forbade his subordinates to take the initiative to attack Nanchu, reduce the conflict with Nanchu as much as possible, and coexist peacefully with it.

More than ten years have passed, and Yang Zaisi's "Flying Mountain Barbarian" army has gradually become stronger. Knowing that Yang Zaisi had no intention of being an enemy with him and competing for hegemony, Ma Yin, the king of Chu, was very happy.

In his eyes, the territory led by Yang Zaisi is just a quiet "small country outside the square", just a small role, and Ma Yin hopes that Yang Zaisi's Dong village will continue to exist in the way of a "country outside the square" to block the harassment of the barbarians in the west. Not only did Ma Yin have no intention of destroying Yang Zaisi, but he didn't even move Zhao An's mind.

One day, Ma Yin, his eldest son Ma Xizhen and all the tribes will drink in the palace.

Ma Yin said: "If this king recruits An Yang to think again, he will become a courtier of this king, and he will definitely reach out to ask this king to ask for military expenses and materials to resist the barbarians in the southwest." ”

"Yang Zaisi can't defeat the barbarians in the southwest, and he has to send troops to help Yang Zaisi, it's too cost-effective." Mahi said.

"It's better to let Yang Zaisi directly fight with the barbarians in the southwest and fend for himself." The more Ma Yin spoke, the more proud he became.

"This king intends to marry the little girl Xifeng Xu to Yang Zaisi, if he gets this brave son-in-law, maybe when this king is in trouble, he will help him. Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone? ”

"Father, you are too clever. It's just that I don't know the little sister her, never again? ”

"This king has already tested your sister, and she smiled but didn't answer, I'm afraid she will agree?"

"That's good, since ancient times, beauties have admired heroes, and this is true." Ma Xizhen quipped.

"The matter of harmony is not the first one, this king has many daughters, marrying one, in exchange for more than ten years of peace in the southwest territory of Southern Chu, why not."

"No, that's it. Yang Zaisi, you just wait to be the son-in-law of this king. ”……

As a result, Yang Zaisi became the son-in-law of Ma Yin, the king of Chu, and his wife Ma, who was later called "Yang Ling's mother-in-law" and "husband of women" by Miao Min, was smart and virtuous, and came up with a lot of ideas for Yang Zaisi to expand his territory.

With the acquiescence and protection of his father-in-law Ma Yin, Yang Zaisi was able to make great efforts, and soon he had more than 500,000 people, commanded tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and covered an area of more than 50,000 square kilometers. Yang Zaisi's political ideology and military strategy for managing Wuxi and Ten Peaks are becoming more and more mature.

In the second year of Tiancheng (927), Ma Yin was named the king of Southern Chu in the Later Tang Dynasty. Ma Yin, the king of Chu Wumu, imitated the imperial court system, changed Tanzhou to Changsha Mansion as the national capital, and built a palace in Changsha City, set up hundreds of officials, and established a veritable independent kingdom - Southern Chu.

During his reign, Ma Yin listened to the strategy of the strategist Gao Yu, respected the Central Plains Dynasty, and adopted the strategy of "serving the Son of Heaven and serving the people below". The development of agricultural production at home and the reduction of taxes on the people have enabled Hunan's economy to prosper. Ma Yin's move bought valuable time for Yang Zaisi to expand westward and northward.

Yang Zaisi and his son actively promoted the advanced production technology of the Han nationality in the Central Plains, generally promoted cattle farming, built water conservancy, improved varieties, intensively cultivated, abandoned slash-and-burn farming, advocated crop rotation, rewarded cotton planting and textiles, and selected market towns to open up markets, promote commerce and trade, prosper the economy, and gradually improve the living standards of the people.

In the land of Chengxuzhou, it is easy to pay for the meager tax, eliminate harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, curb the powerful forces, help the old, weak and poor, and reduce the burden of the people. At the same time, abolishing harsh governance, establishing a lenient and simple legal system, clarifying the law and prudent punishment, strictly correcting and punishing, rewarding and punishing; punish the evil and protect the good, and stabilize the social order; Xuanren and righteousness, harmonious neighbors, the whole state is one, and everyone lives in harmony.

After several years of hard work, Yang Zaisi father and son finally made significant changes in all aspects of Chengzhou's military, government, finance, and people, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and their food and clothing were guaranteed.
