After Qin Liangyu, the general soldier of Chongqing, defeated the Tiger Battalion, the strongest brigade of the 36th battalion alliance, because of the battle of Baogukou, he became famous for a while, and the general army of Sichuan wanted to transfer Qin Liangyu, the general soldier of Chongqing, to report his work in Sichuan. How do you know that when Qin Liangyu, the general soldier of Chongqing, was just about to return to Sichuan to report on his work, the general army of Fujian sent Hong Sangongzi (Hong Chengchou) to train with the army. This Hong Chengchou has been smart and studious since he was a child, and his mind is quick, and he is deeply loved by teachers. He went to Xiyi Hall at the age of seven to initiate. When he was eight years old, his maternal grandfather died, and he used the "Three Character Sutra" to recite a short memorial text, which was admired by relatives and friends present. During his study at Shuigou Pavilion, Hong Chengchou was not only able to complete his studies with honor, but also often went to the private school teacher's home to borrow books to read. From "Historical Records", "Zizhi Tongjian", "Three Kingdoms" to "The Art of War", he has read everything and is very knowledgeable. Once he wrote a reading experience, Mr. Hong of the private school applauded and applauded, and wrote a comment of "A thousand miles of family horses, ten thousand stones of the country", praising Hong Chengchou for having great ambitions at a young age. Later, Hong Chengchou transferred to Quanzhou Chengbei School to study, and his academic performance was excellent. In the second year, he was ranked 17th in the second class. His father felt that he was excellent and cultivated him carefully. Hong Chengchou has since entered the official career, the head of the official criminal department, Langzhong, the two Zhejiang to learn the Tao, and the deputy envoy of the Jiangxi Military Preparation Road. In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, he was appointed as the governor of Shaanxi Province to participate in politics, of course, this is also a later story.

That day, the general soldier of Chongqing, Qin Liangyu sat in the handsome hall. I saw a person in a white shirt and jade face standing in the hall, thinking to myself, this growth is even more handsome than me, and I am quite unhappy in my heart. When Hong Chengchou reported his name and handed over the letter, Qin Liangyu knew that this person was the third son of Hong who had come to the army to train. So he beat the drum and beat the mao, and arranged for the lieutenant colonel to serve in the Chinese army in Hong Sangongzi, and the specific position will be determined after returning to Sichuan to report on his work.

The so-called return to Sichuan to report on work is just a pretext for Qin Dayong, the general soldier of Sichuan and Shaanxi. Thinking that his children had won a big battle in Chongqing, they hadn't seen each other for nearly five or six years. I and my mother miss it very much, so I have this arrangement. This Qin Liangyu also knew his father's thoughts, so he carefully arranged the affairs in the army, and set off in a hurry with the intention of going early and returning early, so as not to cause trouble.

Qin Liangyu also went home to report on his work while enjoying the scenery around the journey. Soon came to Wangyu Ancient Town, which arose because of the post road, but also embodies the traditional Feng Shui concept, that is, "pillow mountain, surrounded by water, face screen". Wangyu Old Street is a long street with a total length of more than 200 meters. The bluestone pavement of the street runs through the street, and the pavement has been polished by the years to shine faintly. Walking on it reminds people of the merchants and caravans who came and went on the Ancient Tea Horse Road. On both sides of the street, there are wooden blue-tiled houses and stilted buildings, and the delicate corrugated walls, wall corners, window lattices and carved carvings on the pillar foundation stones reveal the prosperity of the past. These buildings used to be yamen, silver villages, pawnshops, pharmacies, embroidery buildings, inns, restaurants, tea shops, theater terraces, and so on. The two ends of the old street are equipped with long stone stairs in ancient times, which can reach the riverside and are connected with the new street, to enter the old street, you must climb the stone ladder to the mountainside, showing the defensive nature of easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is the need of the ancient market town to defend against the flow of mountain bandits, such terrain is the most easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Wangyu Town is located in the upper reaches of the Zhougong River in the south of Ya'an City, Sichuan, adjacent to the Wawu Mountain Scenic Area of Hongya County, and is an important post station for the Southern Silk Road and Linqiong Ancient Road (Ancient Tea Horse Road) in and out of Chengdu in the past. It is also the production area of Ya'an's famous specialty "Yayu". The ancient town is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it was formed because of the post station on the Ancient Tea Horse Road at that time. The main building is located on a boulder jutting out of the mountainside, which resembles a cat watching over the fish swimming in the Zhougong River, so it is named Wangyu Town. There is a drop in the floor of the houses in Wangyu Old Street, and some of them are also equipped with steps at the door, and there are holes between the steps and the street to form a drainage system. Ya'an ancient called "sky drain", the local rain is more, the residence mostly uses the four-head type, also known as the "four water to the pool" type, the eaves are connected on all sides, and the pedestrians walk under the eaves without getting wet when it rains. Walking up the hill from the old street, you can see the houses of some people on the hillside, compared with the old street, the scale of the courtyard is grand, and there are a large number of exquisite wood carvings and stone carvings.

Thinking of such a beautiful scenery, he ordered the coachman to find a restaurant near the river and carefully taste the famous local Yayu and Chunjiang wine. After a short time, I came to the Wangjiang Tower. Walk up to the second floor and find an Accord facing the river and sit down. Ordered to go down, pour yourself a drink, and look at the rolling Zhougong River while the people in the street are noisy. The whole person's mind actually returned to the scene of studying when he was a teenager, and he was thinking about it alone in a dementia. Thinking about my childhood friends, I also think about talking with my classmates and friends at night. Of course, what I think about the most is the time with the sixth brother. Especially the civil and military drama in the palace with him, it was very fun. Now that I think about it, I even blush. The subordinates looked at their master and blushed for a while, their faces were white, they were happy for a while, and they sighed for a while, and they all thought in their hearts, I don't know what today's master is going to do again.

Qin Liangyu sat alone by the window, thinking about it. Who knew that there was someone downstairs looking at him stupidly, and this person was the sixth brother Zhang Bingzhong. It turned out that Bingzhong was chased by the government everywhere after the defeat of the valley mouth, and under the evasion everywhere, he really had no way to prepare to lay down a small town to recuperate the troops. Now that he has come to Wangyu Town, this is the purpose. Unexpectedly, he saw such a scene downstairs in Wangjiang, which really made him unbelievable. (Note: It turned out that Qin Liangyu was a woman, and she was wearing women's clothes when she went home to report on her work.) Bingzhong suddenly saw that there was a woman who looked very much like his classmate Qin Liangyu in the Accord on the second floor of Wangjiang Tower, and was about to step forward to ask if there was a brother or brother named Qin Liangyu, whether they performed their duties in the army, and so on...... For a time, there were many words in my chest that I didn't know how to say. But where did he think that the beautiful woman with a cloudy face in front of him was his classmate and friend Qin Liangyu's brother.

Xu is unpredictable in this world, and the noisy shouting on the old street woke up two young people with their own hearts. Qin Liangyu still looked at the river and drank, savoring the delicious taste of this elegant fish. And Zhang Bingzhong made a private investigation on this old street, and found that this Wangyu Town was easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if his own troops attacked it, this ancient post horse road and the river were all serving the enemy on three sides, which was really worth the loss. In addition, the main thing is that the manpower of his troops is not very large, and after several pursuits by the government, the number of troops has dropped to less than 4,000, so how can he have any energy to meet the enemy on three sides. So he resolutely returned to the mountains and forests, and renegotiated with the soldiers, and wanted to run around like this, and if he did not have a more detailed plan, he would be exhausted. There are only two ways to survive, either to fight your way to fame or to take the city. Thinking that it would be better to come to the mountains and discuss with everyone, the big guy was arguing with each other. The result is basically agreeing with Bingzhong's opinion, if it is an iron-blooded killing, it is easy to break into a prestige, but the effect is very bad, after all, it is an uprising of the rebels, and the ultimate goal is to let people live a good life of eating and drinking, not the big devil who kills people everywhere. Therefore, everyone agreed: first strive to attack a city, if the attack cannot be defeated, it is not too late to do iron and blood for a living.

According to the Tanmalay newspaper, after four observations, the nearest towns down the mountain are only Wangyu Town and Tongcheng, and this Tongcheng can be described as a good place. The terrain within the city is high in the northwest and low in the southeast, and the mountains, hills and plains are distributed in three steps. There are mainly the distribution of "two mountains, one lake, and one city", among which Longmian Mountain is "good at the beautiful scenery of the north of the river", and the traces of the ancients and the relics of cultural relics are picked up at all times; Xiaolongshan is beautiful and ethereal, and is famous for its strange stones, the cave is secluded, and the "sea of picking up flowers" (tens of thousands of wild magnolia flowers are connected together); the vast Caizi Lake is nostalgic and forgetful to return with "the long sky and the lake are the same color, the gulls and herons fly and gather, and the hundred boats compete for the stream"; the ancients Zeng Yun: "Arrive at the pillar of heaven and sleep on the dragon, lead the big river and lead the fangchuan river". The terrain is from northwest to southeast, and mountains, hills, and plains are distributed in a stepped shape in turn. The mountainous area in the northwest is the remaining vein of the eastern section of Dabie Mountain, with heavy mountains and mountains, which are quite beautiful and contending; the fan surface of the central hills is spread out, and the slope is gentle; and the southeast plain is vertical and horizontal, weaving and embroidering and paving brocade. At the same time, this kind of terrain can be attacked, retreated and defended; it is really not good, and it can also drag people and horses into the Dabie Mountains, and Tongcheng here and now has become a rare treasure in the eyes of Zhang Bingzhong. This Tongcheng has always been an important town in Jianghuai in history, so it is not so easy to conquer it.

When everyone decided to attack Tongcheng, news came from the 36th Battalion Alliance. King Bai Yuzhu was injured in Wu'an, northern Henan, and when the army marched to Jiyuan, he unfortunately died of illness. From then on, the 36th Battalion Alliance was disbanded on the spot, and the remaining five units were diverted to resist the Ming army. Among them, Gao Yingxiang and Li Dacheng hung the "Chuang" banner in the Shaanxi and Gansu regions, Luo Youcai and Luo Youneng hung the "Ba" banner in the western Sichuan area, Ma Shouying and Ma Xianglin hung the "Ma" flag in the Huifu area, and Liu Guoneng and others hung the "Neng" banner in Henan and Hebei. Only Zhang Chongzhong, the strongest tiger battalion, did not hang up the banner, but was running for a living. The only thing that can make Bingzhong feel a little relieved by these news is that he knows the whereabouts of his brother. Probably because of his departure, Li Dacheng, Luo Youneng, Luo Youcai and others had no intention of seeking fame and accumulating military merits in the barracks. On the contrary, it was because General Chen Hongfan, under the erroneous guidance of Wang Wei, the general of Shaanxi and Gansu, was defeated by the 36th Battalion Alliance, and took advantage of the defeat to wander around looking for the Sixth Brother. Let the three brothers, who could have been together, lead their own teams to survive in order to make a living. Fortunately, we were able to communicate with each other, and we were able to get to know each other in general. The thing that makes Xiao Liuzi even more happy is the return of the phoenix-crowned lark. Xu is when the alliance of the thirty-six battalions was disbanded, and everyone was afraid that Zhang Bingzhong, who was far away in southern Sichuan, would not believe it very much, so they asked the phoenix-crowned lark to send a creed, which has been verified. In fact, everyone has another idea, hoping that Bingzhong can disturb the attention of the government and help them reduce some pressure, after all, his team is still called the Tiger Camp. But who would have thought that Bingzhong was thinking about his livelihood at this time.
