Chapter Eighty-Six: The Legend of August Ridge

In fact, Liu Guanqun didn't know much about General Ridge, and he only heard his father mention the Vermilion Bird Token. At that time, his father was not sure whether the Suzaku token was real or fake, but it was more powerful. Among the people in the south, many people knew about General Ridge, but no one really explored this uncertain thing.

I didn't want to think that many years later, Li Xianying actually found Liu Guanqun and wanted Liu Guanqun to help him go to Jiangjunling, and even the approximate location of Jiangjunling was almost touched. When Liu Guanqun learned that Li Xianying asked him to run to Jiangjunling, Liu Guanqun had already come up with the idea of taking the Vermilion Bird Token for himself on the way.

Because Liu Guanqun and Li Xianying have known each other for several years, although the correspondence is not very frequent, but he still knows a little bit about Li Xianying, since Li Xianying has come to the Vermilion Bird Token, it can be seen that the rumors about the Vermilion Bird Token are not groundless.

It's just that what Liu Guanqun didn't expect was that they found the ancient tombs of the Spring and Autumn princes before they found General Ridge, which made Liu Guanqun change his mind again, and even thought about giving up the idea of looking for the Vermilion Bird Token.

In fact, Liu Guanqun has not run a lot of ghost work over the years, after all, from the reform and opening up to the present, but more than ten years of hard work, running ghost work is not only dangerous, but also actually does not make much money, so Liu Guanqun also threw Zu Xun behind his head, relying on his own ability to often rob tombs.

Although he was unlucky enough not to steal anything of value, he had accumulated a lot of knowledge about the ancient tombs. This time I was able to meet this ancient tomb, which was completely unexpected for Liu Guanqun. In response to the proverb, if you have the intention to plant flowers and flowers, you will not bloom, and you will have no intention of planting willows and willows.

However, there is no end to people's **, looking at these things in the tomb, if they are taken out, it can be said that Liu Guanqun and their father and son will eat for a lifetime, but I didn't expect Liu Guanqun to suddenly want to kill two birds with one stone at this critical moment. The burial goods in the tomb must be taken away, and the Suzaku token cannot be let go.

Sometimes, in this situation, people rely on flickering. At this time, the village chief was a little fooled by Liu Guanqun, and he didn't know how much Liu Guanqun knew about General Ridge. And the reason why Liu Guanqun knows this, except for the ones he heard his father mention in the early years, the rest is from Ding Quan.

It turned out that in Beigang Village, everyone in the village knew that there was such a place as Jiangjunling, and Jiangjunling was not on any Kunlun Mountain, which was still very far away from Kunlun Mountain. The real location of Jiangjun Ridge is not very far from Beigang Village. Just northwest of the village, there is a ridge about ten miles away, and the locals call that ridge August Ridge.

On weekdays, the people in the village often go to August Ridge, which is no different from other places, and there is nothing special about it. It's just that in the early eighth month of the lunar calendar every year, the village chief doesn't let everyone go to August Ridge. Coincidentally, the village chief was not at home for those days. As for why, the village chief didn't say much, but the elderly people in the village knew.

If you want to talk about August Ridge, you have to start with Jiang Wei's Northern Expedition. At that time, there were more or less records of the big battles fought by the Shu army and the Wei army, and as for some sporadic small battles, there was no way to know at all.

Originally, Fei Zhi was just a centurion, and he said that he was a centurion, but in fact, there were less than 100 soldiers in his direct leadership at that time. However, Fei Zhi was brave and resourceful in the position of centurion. It's just that in that era, more attention was paid to background, and if the background was not good, it was difficult to mix, and in this regard, Deng Ai is an example. But objectively speaking, in this regard, Fei Zhi's luck is much better than Deng Ai.

It is said that once Jiang Wei got a tip that the enemy's main general, Guo Huai, had suddenly fallen ill and had been bedridden for many days, and sent his subordinate Jia Si to defend. Jia Si is a rough man with civil and military skills, and it is impossible to use him to defend Jiang Wei. Therefore, Jiang Wei thought that this must be Guo Huai's trick to lure the enemy, so he ignored it.

However, Jiang Wei had a general under him at that time, named Du Ce, but he firmly believed that this information was accurate, and he felt that this opportunity was very rare, but Jiang Wei refused to send troops, so he privately led a thousand people to attack Jia Si at night. Among those who attacked was Fayge. It is said that that night, when Du Ce led the 1,000 men to be more than ten miles away from the enemy camp, he fell into an ambush by the enemy.

It turned out later that Jiang Wei's judgment was indeed correct, and Guo Huai was not sick at all. At that time, Guo Huai had been in a stalemate with Jiang Wei for a while, and then Guo Huai had an idea to lure Jiang Wei to come and attack him, so he let out his mouth, pretended to be sick and bedridden, and intended to send Jia Si to guard it.

The next day, after Jiang Wei learned about this, he was so angry that he wanted to ask Du Ce, but unfortunately he didn't have this opportunity anymore. Because Du Zer did not come back at all, the battle was so badly defeated that even he himself was killed. However, what Jiang Wei didn't expect was that there were dozens of people who came back alive, and the leader of them was Fei Zhi.

When Jiang Wei asked how Fei Zhi took these people to get out, he learned that that that night, Du Ce came firstly to avoid leaking the news, and secondly, he was afraid that he would bring too many people to alarm Jiang Wei, so he didn't tell the people below what he was going to do before leaving. When he took these people to the halfway point, Du Ce told the people below that Guo Huai had been sick for many days, and it was Jia Si who was guarding the camp at night, and this time the troops were sent to attack the enemy camp.

When Fei Zhi heard it, he felt that something was wrong, because Fei Zhi knew what kind of virtue his boss was, and he had no ability but always liked to be in the limelight, although from the perspective of time, Fei Zhi could not think too much at this time. But if at this time, disobey the military order and go back with his own people, it is impossible, the so-called military order is like a mountain, and Du Ce can kill Fei Zhi at that time. But if you continue to follow Du Ce to sneak attack the enemy camp, this risk is also very great, Guo Huai is a scheming person, even if he is really sick, it is impossible to let Jia Si defend, so Fei Zhi has already expected that this is a ploy of Guo Huai. Although he couldn't disobey the military order, Fei Zhi still kept an eye on it.

He knew that he couldn't put forward an idea contrary to Du Ce at this time, so he pretended to give Du Ce a plan and said that although Jia Si was not as talented as Du Ce, he could not ignore it. If our people go directly into the enemy camp, the other party's people will have no defense, but after all, the other party has many more people than us. Therefore, for the sake of safety, I want Du Ce to set aside a part of the people as a follow-up response, and wait for Du Ce's army to enter the enemy camp first, in case there is any mistake, these follow-up should also go to support.

However, Du Ce didn't take Jia Si in his eyes at all, and didn't agree to Fei Zhi at first, but Fei Zhi thought at this time, if he followed Du Ce together, he wouldn't be able to come back, he would die anyway, so it was better to convince Du Ce now. Due to the relationship of time, Du Ce reluctantly agreed to Fei Zhi in order to enter the enemy camp as soon as possible, but what Fei Zhi did not expect was that Du Ce only assigned Fei Zhi's small team of less than 100 people to Fei Zhi.

Fei Zhi saw that Du Ce didn't want to make a response at all, but Fei Zhi knew in his heart that he didn't really want to make a response to Du Ce.

Duzer then led the rest of the group to continue their journey, while Fayge followed from a distance with his own men. After walking for a short time, he found that Du Ce was ambushed in front of him, and at that time Fei Zhi himself also wanted to save Du Ze, but because he had too few people, it was impossible to save Du Ze, and finally Fei Zhi had to return with his own people.

After this incident, Fei Zhi left a very deep impression on Jiang Wei, and later Fei Zhi was slowly promoted from centurion to thousand-torn.

Although Fei Zhi's luck was good, and he was considered to have been fulfilled by Du Ce, his life was not so good. Fei Zhi followed Jiang Wei for a few years, and during this period, he also made a lot of contributions, and even later Jiang Wei said to Fei Zhi that when he returned to Chengdu, he would definitely play and add officials to Fei Zhi to the knighthood, but unfortunately Fei Zhi could not wait for that day.

In 255 AD, Sima Shi, the general of Wei, died of illness. Jiang Wei took the opportunity to take Xiahou Ba and Zhang Yi and other tens of thousands of people to attack Wei. It was very successful at first, and in August it had already attacked Caohan (present-day northeastern Linxia, Gansu Province), and then attacked Didao (present-day Lintao County, Gansu Province). At this time, Chen Tai, the general of Wei Zhengxi, ordered Wang Jing, the assassin of Yongzhou, to lead people to temporarily garrison Didao Town, and then wait for him to lead the main force to arrive, and then jointly deal with Jiang Wei.

But this Wang Jing did not do what Chen Tai wanted, and before Chen Tai arrived, he sent troops without authorization, and as a result, Jiang Wei beat him with falling flowers, and the Wei army suffered heavy casualties. It was said that the battle was fought beautifully, but Fayge was killed in this battle. At that time, although Fei Zhi was named a thousand-commander, he had already led thousands of people.

When Fei Zhi died, Jiang Wei was very heartbroken and wanted to bury Fei Zhi, but because it was the time of the battle with the enemy army at that time, he ordered Fei Zhi and his subordinates who died in the battle to transport those bodies to the so-called August Ridge and bury them hastily. Originally, Jiang Wei planned to have a chance in the future to re-bury Fei Zhi.

It's a pity that later Sima Zhao ordered Deng Ai, the captain of Changshui, to serve as the general of Anxi. Deng Ai was a very outstanding military strategist and general during the Three Kingdoms period. This person can be said to be both civil and military, proficient in the art of war, and even quite accomplished in internal affairs. His arrival was very unfavorable to Jiang Wei. Chen Tai was already very powerful, and Deng Ai and Chen Tai teamed up to deal with Jiang Wei, which made Jiang Wei even more difficult to handle.

When Deng Ai and Chen Tai reconciled, Sima Fu was the backup. The three soldiers marched to Longxi in three ways, deliberately avoiding Jiang Wei, and led people around to the southeast mountain of Didao, lighting fires and beating drums to contact the defenders of Wei in Didao at that time. When the defenders saw that reinforcements were coming, their morale was greatly boosted.

At this time, Jiang Wei saw this and attacked along the mountain, but was repelled by the Wei army, and as a last resort, Jiang Wei finally retreated, so that the wish to re-bury Fei Zhi was never achieved.

A year later, once Jiang Wei wanted to attack the Wei army again, passing through Beilongpo (now August Ridge), he heard from the local people that there were often Yin soldiers in Beilongpo taking advantage of the road. Jiang Wei didn't believe it at first, so he let the army continue to move forward, leaving people here to check the truth.

Sure enough, not long after, the soldiers who stayed behind reported to Jiang Wei that there was indeed a situation of Yin soldiers borrowing the road in that place, according to the soldiers who came back, if they didn't see it with their own eyes, it was hard to believe.

After Jiang Wei heard this, he hurriedly asked, what did he see?
