The sky is getting darker and darker, and tonight's Banshu Castle is destined to be a sleepless night.

"Boom! Thundered! ”

Just as Yuan Zumin was sleeping in a daze, he was suddenly woken up by a burst of "thunder".

Yuan Zumin, the word Dingqing, a native of Anlong, Guizhou, is known as Yuan Dashuai, Dashuai is not an official title, and there is no official title.

However, at that time, many warlord generals were called "Dashuai", Dashuai was not an official title, and did not have this official title, but he controlled the military generals of a province.

Yuan Zumin, one of the three major warlords in Guizhou at that time, combined with Liu Xiancheng and Zhou Xixi to form the three major marshals of Guizhou.

Yuan Zuming studied private school at home when he was a child, and then worshiped the famous talent He Xiaofeng as a teacher, and gradually promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Guizhou Army, mastered the army, and later grew up to the footsteps of breaking hands with Liu Xianshi.

"The sound of artillery fire?" Yuan Zumin opened his eyes in a daze, was stunned, his eyes widened, and he looked out the window.

Outside the window, the moon was bright and the stars were scarce, and there was no thunder, but the rumbling sound still kept ringing.

Yuan Zumin immediately went out, knowing that there had been a mutiny, he was ready to run, the enemy had hit his marshal's mansion, although he was still sleepy, he quickly got out of the courtyard and went straight to the south wing.

But on the way out, the distant ancestors found an extremely strange phenomenon, there have been wars everywhere recently, so the Marshal's Mansion sent additional people to patrol at night, but when he came out tonight, not a single guard saw it.

"Why is there no one?" Yuan Zumin also felt weird.

"No, listening to this artillery fire, it's very close to here, you have to inform your family immediately! Otherwise, no one will be able to leave.

At that time, it was the time of warlord melee, once the gate of a warlord was breached, the people in the city were miserable, and those bandits burned, killed and looted all kinds of evil, which could turn a city into a hell on earth in an instant.

Yuan Zumin only came back from the battlefield yesterday, and now the wound has reopened, and the blood has flowed all over the ground, his wife bandaged her wound, Yuan Zumin took his mother, and looked back at the courtyard that was already empty, and he couldn't help but feel a little lost.

"Let's go." Yuan Zumin's mother stood in front of the threshold and said lightly.

Yuan Zumin finally let out a long sigh: "I didn't expect such an ending to come so quickly, if you like it, take it with you." ”

But three months earlier, the battle had begun outside the city, and the enemy forces were getting tighter and tighter, and they had to leave quickly.

Yuan Zumin had just walked to the door of the south wing when he heard gunshots outside the Marshal's Mansion across the wall, and at this moment, he knew that it was too late.

Listening to the sound of gunfire outside, the fool also knew that Banshu Castle was probably lost.

"Mother, take your relatives and flee, there should be traitors among my subordinates, tonight, they obviously broke Banzhou City inside and outside", although the soldiers have come to the city at this moment, Yuan Zumin is not afraid, but that kind of homeless life, Yuan Zumin has long been tired of it.

Yuan Zumin planned to let his mother take her family and all of them to the South Wing, and he had a way to take his family away.

Although Yuan Zumin had a gloomy face, he had already thought of his plan to die with the enemy, and when he saw that his family was still standing in place and did not move, he urged: "Hurry up!" ”

"Dashuai, what about you?" The person who suddenly appeared in the back was about to speak, when he heard an exclamation from the front of the Grand Marshal's Mansion.

"Hurry up and resist it, don't let an enemy in before the commander leaves here." , It was Li Yi, the deputy general under Yuan Zumin, who spoke, so Li Yi took out the short gun on his waist and rushed forward, wanting to buy Yuan Zuming enough time for Yuan Dashuai to leave the Marshal's Mansion.

"Dashuai, I'll go to the front and escort you out!" Li Yi has lived in the Marshal's Mansion for so many days, and now Yuan Zumin and Yuan Dashuai saw him rushing towards the front house with his cronies around him with the gunshots, and Yuan Dashuai also felt unbearable.

"Dashuai, hurry up, you leave with the old lady, although I am incapacitated, but I can help you with enough time, you leave Dashuai's mansion quickly, I have arranged someone to answer outside, as long as Dashuai goes out, the brothers will have a chance to make a comeback, and stay in Qingshan without worrying about no firewood."

This adjutant Li Yi was picked up by Yuan Zumin and Yuan Dashuai from halfway back then, when Li Yi was so hungry that he only had half a life left, it was Yuan Zumin who gave him a chance to survive, so Li Yi was very loyal to Yuan Dashuai.

Yuan Dashuai nodded, and the adjutant beside him chased after him.

Yuan Dashuai ran all the way with the rest of the people, and now there are only some little maidservants left in the Dashuai's mansion, and they also heard the sound of artillery fire, and they were very panicked, and the entire Dashuai's mansion was already in chaos.

Listening to the gunfire outside the mansion getting closer and closer, Yuan Dashuai decided to leave immediately, because listening to this movement, he was afraid that the besieging soldiers had already entered the Dashuai's mansion.

There is a secret passage in the marshal's house, if something really happens, he will escape to the outside of the city through the secret passage, for this dark passage, Yuan Dashuai has long been familiar with the road, and took his old mother and wife to the south wing, and then twisted a bellows on the side of the stove.

After the bellows was pulled, the entire stove instantly moved to the right, and the secret passage under it appeared in front of Yuan Dashuai's eyes.

Descending the stairs, Yuan Dashuai first helped his mother down, and the remaining few maids and wives went down one by one, and when they all reached the bottom, Yuan Dashuai closed the upper mechanism again, and lit the kerosene lamp hanging on the stone wall.

At the end of the stairs was an iron gate, Yuan Dashuai helped his mother to the iron gate, took out a bunch of keys, opened the iron door, and walked in with a group of people.

Many people don't know this secret passage, they thought that this would be a secret room, but many people guessed wrong, this is actually an extremely empty karst cave, and the upside-down stones hanging on this karst cave can also emit colorful beams, but probably because it is underground, so it is very cold.

"Hurry up!" Yuan Dashuai saw that the people behind him were still looking at these stones in a daze, and suddenly became a little anxious, and shouted loudly at the rest of the people.

It didn't take long for them to see a "stone building" standing in this cave, this stone building was three stories high, and they turned several stone steps before they saw its true face of Lushan.

"What is this place?" Many people can't help but think it's a little strange, who will build a building under this ground?

"This is the tomb!" Yuan Dashuai suddenly spoke.

"The specifications here, and the orientation of the building, are built according to the tomb of the dead?"

"Here, it used to be a living tomb, and the Great Marshal's Mansion was built on the living tomb."

"Tomb of the Living?" Many people couldn't help frowning, staring at this stone building, they would never have dreamed that the Great Marshal's Mansion was actually built on the tomb of a living person.

On the side of this stone building, there was a small low stone house, and the stone door concealed the darkness inside.

"Uncle You, I am Yuan Zumin, there is a change in the Marshal's Mansion today, and the enemy army has attacked the city" Yuan Dashuai raised his voice and shouted at the stone house.

Soon, there was a sound of muffled footsteps in the stone house, and then the stone door slowly opened, revealing a very unkempt head with white hair.

"What's wrong with the big handsome?" The old man asked in a low voice, his voice was very old, as if it came from under the ground, and he felt very terrible.

"Banshu Castle is lost." Yuan Zuming lowered his eyes as he spoke, a month ago he was a big warlord in the entire Banzhou region, commanding more than 3 cities, holding several divisions, and hundreds of thousands of troops, but he didn't expect that today, a month later, he actually lost his own marshal's mansion.

The old man was extremely calm, turned sideways directly, and invited them into his stone house, the dampness in the stone house was extremely heavy, and it was extremely narrow, and everyone didn't even have a place to sit, so they could only sit directly on the ground next to them to rest.

However, through a small hole, Yuan Zumin could observe everything outside, and he also wanted to know what the situation was like in the Marshal's Mansion at this time.

At this time, in the hall of the main mansion of the Marshal's Mansion, several people in military uniforms hurriedly walked in.

Yuan Dashuai suddenly noticed that something was wrong, he thought that this Dashuai's mansion was occupied by some bandits, but he saw his other lieutenant general, who was following a tall man with a full beard.

"Haven't you found Yuan Zumin yet?" The bearded man said with some annoyance.

"Dashuai, then Yuan Zumin must have run away, otherwise, this Dashuai Mansion searched carefully, how could he not find it?" The adjutant said with a frown.

"Humph! That's how you do things? Liu Dashuai didn't say a word, he directly raised his gun and aimed it at the deputy general who was a traitor seeking glory.

This person was originally an adjutant under Yuan Zumin, and Yuan Zuming was also good to him, but this person liked to gamble and owed a lot of debts, and Liu Dashuai also took advantage of this person's weakness.

Sure enough, this person took revenge and betrayed Yuan Dashuai, otherwise Liu Dashuai would not have been able to occupy Banzhou City so quickly.

A treacherous person can betray his handsomeness, and such a person will betray himself sooner or later if he follows him.

Such a person can betray his master once, and sooner or later he will sell himself, so to keep such a person by his side is to plant a bomb beside himself.

Liu Dashuai Liu Xiancheng, the word is like Zhou, also known as Ruzhou, alias Jingshuo, at that time the governor of Guizhou, the governor of the three provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou, and the deputy commander-in-chief of the Protector Alliance.

Because of Yuan Shikai's treason and death, the warlords in various places declared independent autonomy and sent troops to the Northern Expedition, Liu Xiancheng was the governor of Guizhou at that time, and later supported the army and became one of the three major warlords of Guizhou, and also the warlord with the largest power, the largest number and the best equipment in Guizhou at that time, known as Liu Dashuai.

The adjutant hurriedly knelt down for Liu Dashuai: "Dashuai spare his life, although Yuan Zumin is missing, but we have caught his wife, there is his wife, how dare this Yuan Zumincheng not appear?"

"Hmph, I'll give you another day, the city gate has been sealed early, and it is impossible for him to get out, you immediately take someone to search the city, and bring someone to me!" Liu Dashuai said that, and sat directly on the sofa that only Yuan Zumin and Yuan Dashuai could sit on, with a smile on his face.

It didn't take long for Li Yi and Yuan Dashuai's wife, who protected Yuan Dashuai's escape, to be brought, and they were escorted to kneel in front of Liu Dashuai, Li Yi's face was full of scars, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth.

Yuan Zumin Yuan Dashuai's wife looked unscathed, and there was a faint smile on her face, in fact, this was Yuan Dashuai's concubine, otherwise Yuan Dashuai would have fled with her.

"Li Yi, have you run far enough?" Liu Dashuai said, leaning back on the sofa.

"Liu Xiancheng, it's not enough for you to take away my family's handsome eight cities, and now you are still killing the Dashuai's mansion, what do you want?" Li Yi looked at Liu Dashuai in front of him, and wanted to rush up and kill him.

This kid is really a person with affection and righteousness, although Yuan Dashuai did attack Banzhou City this time, but his purpose was not to drive away Yuan Dashuai, but to gain a foothold here, take the opportunity to seize the Sichuan Buzheng Division, and then dominate one side, establish his own regime, and compete with those warlords who are more powerful than himself.

At that time, there were wars all over the country, and if you didn't have enough power, not enough money and soldiers, maybe you wouldn't be able to see the next day's sun after you went to bed at night.

Warlord scuffle, the major warlords are also fighting for the sake of turf, and no one will give up easily, otherwise they will have to fall to the ground, or no one will want to fight.
