Chapter 408
When a few people were leisurely on the mountain, the mountain was not peaceful. Displaced people began to appear near the grass hut to hide in the mountains to avoid forced labor, and some extremely hungry half-sized children wandered around the grass hut from time to time. However, I heard from the adults of their family that there are fairy-like characters living here (Huainan City has been circulating for a long time), and no one really dares to go to the grass house to steal anything to eat and drink. It's just that I watched Wu Mian and the others eat and drink from a distance, and in the end, I couldn't stand it, and I let Bai Wuqiu throw their food out of the grass house every once in a while. After every hundred desperate to put down food and leave, the ragged children rushed up. The younger ones grabbed it and ate it, and the older ones took it back to their families with their clothes.
After doing this several times, the entire Wang Tianshan exile has already spread. Half a month later, when I went to eat again, I saw that the grass was densely packed with ragged homeless people, and the eyes of these people were already green when they were hungry. Hundreds of pairs of eyes were staring at the food in Bai Wuqiu's hand, and the heart of this monster began to hair.
When the monster put down the food, he just turned around and walked back. I saw that more than a dozen hungry people had come out of the grass, and after the people behind them had slowed down for half a beat, most of the food on the ground had been snatched. Some of the homeless people, relying on their own heights, began to snatch food from the hands of women and children. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of homeless people were already in chaos, and Bai Wufu, who had not gone far, turned back halfway, raised his fist like a sandbag and beat those who snatched food.
Under the rage, there are naturally no good hands to beat people, and almost all of them have lives under their fists. After four or five strokes, the displaced people at the scene were already frightened and scattered. For the next few days, until the figure of Bai Wuqiu completely disappeared, these displaced people would come out of their hiding places. However, as long as there is another snatching of food, the fierce and vicious big man will fall from the sky, and it will not be finished until the two are killed and the food is snatched from the hands of women and children. In the end, these homeless people developed a good habit of respecting women and children.
However, the food in the grass house was also purchased by Wu Mian and a few people who went down the mountain to buy it. Although they are rich and rich, they are a drop in the bucket for these homeless people in the mountains. In the end, he also pulled down his old face if he didn't return, and waited until Liu Xi, the king of Huainan, went up the mountain again to give food gifts. The old guy took the initiative to show up and stop the visitor, and took out a list, which was densely packed with dozens of loads of food. The staple food of grains, vegetables, meat and salt is not counted, and there are dozens of horses of cloth written on the list, some common medicines, and even some farm tools for reclaiming wasteland.
Although the gifts sent by King Huainan were all accepted as ordered, it was the first time that he took the initiative to ask for it like this. Liu Xi naturally didn't dare to slack off, and the items on the list of returnable items were doubled. In less than half a year, the displaced people around Shouchun City gathered on Wangtian Mountain, and a high mountain in Nuoda would be overcrowded.
In the end, the officers and soldiers actually set up a card at the foot of Wangtian Mountain to stop the rest of the displaced people who were constantly preparing to go up the mountain. Although these people were stopped, the officers and soldiers had no intention of going up to the mountains to search for other displaced people. In this way, tens of thousands of people gathered under the nose of the capital, and after a long time, these people were farming and weaving on Wangtian Mountain, and they faintly had the appearance of a country within a country.
In the autumn of the following year, the homeless people in the mountains had their first harvest. Although some widows and orphans still need help from the grass, most of them are almost able to support themselves. These people did not forget the people who lived in the cottage, and specially found a few respected old people, brought the food produced in their fields, and sent it to the people in the cottage. Originally, these people had already thought of the wording, and planned to sing praises to these people, but when they saw that it was the big man who killed several people who opened the door, these people who gave gifts couldn't help but tremble. The representatives of these people stumbled nervously, and could not even say a whole sentence.
In the end, Bai Wuqiu was impatient at first, and this second stunned person would be wrong to see so many people gathered here. squinted at these people, and then said: "Counting the days, it is almost the anniversary of Lao Tzu killing that grain grabbing." Why, there are relatives of your family in there, are you waiting for the anniversary to come and avenge them! ”
The last sentence was almost shouted out without asking for anything, so frightened that an old man led by him fainted on the spot, and the remaining group of people threw the things in their hands to the ground and ran back. The son of the fainted old man risked his death to carry his father back from here, and since then, no one has dared to disturb these people in the cottage.
Three or four years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the day when the ghost gate will open is getting closer and closer. And the relationship between Liu Xi, the king of Huainan, and the imperial court has also appeared, and Emperor Wu, who has been watching coldly, finally has a move. In the sixth year of Emperor Wu's Yuanshuo, the imperial court sent troops to attack Nanyue under the pretext of borrowing from Huainan.
In legal theory, Liu Xi had no reason to refuse, so he had no choice but to send heavy troops to guard the border, and prevent the soldiers and horses of the imperial court from taking advantage of the road to raid the capital Shouchun. What I didn't expect was that the imperial court took advantage of the emptiness inside the Huainan Kingdom to send a tiger army of 3,000 people to raid from other roads. Within ten days, these 3,000 soldiers and horses actually captured five cities in Huainan and defeated more than 5,000 Huainan troops.
At this time, the king of Huainan used his hole cards. He had built an army of more than 1,000 monks following the example of this Tiger Army, and like the Tiger Army, he also selected the soldiers with Huigen in his own army, and then asked the monks in the Recruiting Hall to train this team. However, what King Huainan did the most was that he incorporated all the inferior monks in the Zhaoxian Pavilion into this team. In terms of strength, even the battle-hardened Tiger Benjun is not the opponent of the new army of Huainan Kingdom. It's just that to prevent the news of the new army from leaking, Liu Xi didn't even name this team, and kept shouting about the new army, and it was not until this time that his true face was revealed.
Unlike the previous armies who fought until the sky was dark, after the two teams met, it only took half an hour to determine the victory and defeat. At this time, the regular monks who were mixed into the new army played a role. Although the sergeants of the Tiger Ben Army were not afraid of life and death, they quickly showed their defeat under the other party's spells that were stronger than their own generations. In the end, with the reinforcement of 3,000 cavalry, more than 1,000 corpses were left at the scene, and then they reluctantly evacuated from the battlefield.
But that's it, under the spells of the monks in the new army. None of the 3,000 cavalry reinforced, survived, and they were all confessed to the techniques of the new army.
In this way, Huainan Kingdom has completely turned against the imperial court. The army that had rushed to South Vietnam by road changed the direction of its march and pressed towards Shou Chun, the capital of Huainan. They fought with the army of Huainan to monitor them, and when the two armies were stalemate. From several other places on the border, there were imperial army troops who crossed the border and rushed towards Shouchun City. At present, Liu Xi has put all his family resources on top of the new army recruited in the past few years, and there are still a few capable people in Huainan Kingdom, and in just a few years, these forcibly recruited people have been refined into an army that can compete with the strong army of the imperial court. Within three or four months of the conflict, Huainan and the imperial court reached a draw.
Although it looked like it was a draw, Liu Xi, the king of Huainan, knew in his heart that he wouldn't be able to last much time in this way. In desperation, he started the idea of Wu Mian on Wangtian Mountain and whether to return to them.
After the war, the king of Huainan had no time to take care of Wu Mian and them. The gifts that were supposed to be sent from time to time were also cut off at this time, but fortunately, the homeless people on the mountain had already harvested, and without the gifts of King Huainan, it would have no impact on the overall situation.
At that moment, King Huainan dug out his own home, and after collecting the gifts of Baise, he took everyone to Wangtian Mountain in person. At the foot of the mountain, the king of Huainan changed into the clothes of his self-proclaimed Wu Mian and his disciple who would not return to the seat, and went up to Wangtian Mountain as a disciple to welcome the teacher.
