Chapter 442: Peach Blossom Spring● Yancang River

Fighting to exhaustion, he had already earned enough money, and the fifty people led by Pu Yancang all died under the sword of the Chu army.

- Afterwards, some Ba people superstitiously thought that Pu Yancang really went to Huangquan with him only on the second day, as the veteran general of Chu State Dou Wu said, and it was Dou Wu who cast a vicious spell and became a prophecy. In fact, Douwu judged with the wisdom and feelings of a veteran that this time the Chu army would inevitably capture Youcheng, and Pu Yancang would inevitably know that he could not do it, and he would go to Youcheng to die. In other words, Douwu is implying that Pu Yancang should not go to Youcheng after escaping, and he will be sent to death in vain, which is meaningless. Of course, Dou Wu didn't expect that Park Yancang's luck was as bad as his own.

Park Yancang didn't think much about Douwu's words at that time, and even if he did, he would definitely not go to Youcheng.

Without further ado, the book gets back to business.

General Chu had already heard from a soldier that he had met the chief general of the mountain master of the Hu'anshan tribe of Baguo today, and when he was cleaning up the body, he was about to order the head of Xiao Pu Yancang so that he could go to ask for merit, when he suddenly heard the sound of killing behind him.

General Chu knew that there were still Ba people here, and he was furious and urgently ordered to fight.

The team of Ba soldiers who were killed was none other than Mu Zhong, the leader of the Mu clan in Hu'an Mountain. It turned out that Mu Zhong led his team to run across the bottom road of the ditch in the gorge, and when he saw that Pu Yancang did not follow him for a long time, he expected that it would be difficult to escape, so he ordered him to hide and led more than 200 warriors back to rescue.

Mu Zhong roared and rushed over.

Seeing that Mu Zhong's body was not as tall and majestic as the common generals, he thought that at most he was a centurion of Pu Yancang, and good luck came again, so he also shouted and raised his sword to welcome Mu Zhong.

Mu Zhong stepped forward and engaged the Chu general, and the other warriors also fought each other.

After more than ten battles, Mu Zhong raised his sword and fell, killed General Chu in anger, cut off his head with his hand, held it in his hand, and shouted: "Those who descend will not die!"

When the Chu soldiers saw that the leader was dead, they panicked.

Mu Zhong knew that the Chu army was killed because its leader was killed, and it was temporarily collapsed, and he would soon find that he only had more than 200 people, and he would definitely regather to exterminate them, so he cut a few miscellaneous trees nearby, tied a hemp rope, made a stretcher, and carried Pu Yancang away, and had to leave the rest of the Ba people's corpses.

Mu Zhong and his entourage caught up with Pu Kun and Gongtaohua, walked more than 30 miles, closed the road, and marched towards Gongtan. Fortunately, there was no Chu army chasing after him.

When the people arrived at Gongtan (now Gongtan), it was noon on the third day, and Meng Menglong, Mu Mangzi, Fan Yuntong, Pan Furong, and Guo Genfeng entered the camp - it turned out that Guo Gongfeng, a pedestrian from Hu'an Palace, had just escorted grain and grass here yesterday.

Zhu Menglong and others learned that the chief generals of the mountain division of their tribe, Pu Yancang and Wu Baichang Zhuwu, were all killed in battle, and the Yougong Palace had been broken, and it was estimated that Gongzi, Gongbiao, Qian Hu, Lu Li and other generals had been killed in battle, and they were very sad.

In the process of the sorcerer Menglong and the witch Pan Furong cleaning up Pu Yancang's body, Mu Zhong asked Mu Mangzi: "How is the battle in Gongtan?"

Mu Mangzi said: "Fortunately, there was an arrangement when the prince of Ba Peng died, Zheng Rong of the Shicheng military camp, Du Zhi, the general of the Yuhou department, and the three generals of our department Pan Furong fought an ambush for the Chu army in Shengui Gorge, and the Chu army retreated to Shicheng, otherwise, when we retreated to Gongtan, there was no way out." ”

Mu Zhong looked around at the people present and said, "What about General Tianqi?"

Mu Mangzi said: "The eldest brother and the fifth brother went to the Turtle Gorge to coordinate the defense."

Mu Zhong said again: "My boat is only damaged, but there is a water war." ”

Mu Mangzi said: "Pan Furong, that shrewd woman, was ordered to come here to guard the ferry, not only did she not have a few, but she also collected a lot of boats from all over the place. ”

Mu Zhong nodded lightly and said, "How is the Yushui War?"

"The day before yesterday, the second brother had to report that because Chu General Zhuang recaptured Shicheng, the eighth prince had to lead the army to evacuate Duting Mountain and retreat to Yushui, and the two armies fought against each other in the area from Tingziguan to Shicheng, and the war was very unfavorable to me. And it has been learned that the first line of Bashu is also very tight. ”

Gong Peach Blossom escaped from the fallen Youcheng, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune. The women of the Gong's clan who came with her, only one person followed them safely to the Gongtan, and she was one of the maids of the Gongpeach Blossom in the Hongdu Mountain.

After packing up Park Yancang's body, Guo Genfeng said to Qi Menglong: "Childe, General Park's body, I will return it to Hu'anshan." Brother Gongxin was injured, and many samurai were seriously injured and could no longer fight, so they had to recuperate from their injuries first. I was just about to go back, so I sent the old general and Peach Blossom back to Hu'an Mountain. ”

Dreamdragon said: "That's the best." ”

Gu Menglong, Mu Mangzi, Fan Yuntong, Pan Furong, Mu Zhong and others sent Pu Yancang's body, as well as Gongpeach Blossom and Gongxin to the riverside.

On the evening of the same day, the head of the boat master of the Hu'an Mountain tribe in Shengui Gorge heard that Pu Yancang had died in battle, facing the direction of Tongxiang Mountain, the birthplace of Pu Yancang, which is also estimated to be his burial place.

When the pedestrian Guo Genfeng returned to Hu'an Mountain, Hu Anbo Yuyu had already learned about the battle situation ahead from the light boat and fast horse, and he was anxious, and when he saw the body of Park Yancang, he cried bitterly and fainted twice - Park Yancang is a legendary figure from a slave to a general, and he has made countless achievements in his life, and the biggest credit is to save Hu'an Bo Yuyu twice, once in the battle of Bachu Guzhang sixteen years ago, and once after the former Zhongqing Xiangshan was placed under house arrest in Hu'an Palace. Because of this, Hu Anbo's father and son treated Park Yancang differently from other generals.

Park Yancang's daughter Park Xuemei couldn't cry. Everyone wept.

Then he did the work and sent Park Yancang's body to Tongxiang Mountain, where he was born, for burial.

There is a legend among the Wujiangba people: in order to commemorate General Park Yancang, the salamander river in his birthplace was renamed "Yancang River". ”

Now the Yancang River, the river water is clear and transparent, the scenery is beautiful, the whole river is not polluted, and it is famous for the national second-class protected wild amphibian salamander (giant salamander), but it is only for those who are destined to watch, and the predators are illegal.

When the master and servant of the peach blossom arrived at Hu'an Palace, the grief was unbearable, and they often cried non-stop. Mrs. Ba Yongqiu and others persuaded him not to mention it.

Later, there was a rumor: due to the destruction of the Batong clan, there were several "riots" against the Chu army Therefore, before the Youcheng was breached, the leaders of the communist clan believed that once the Youcheng was broken, the communist clan would inevitably collapse, and it was even possible that the city would be slaughtered by individual inhumane Chu generals, so they made an important decision: for the continuation of the communist clan, hundreds of children and girls under the age of twelve and dozens of healthy men and women over sixty years old were selected from the sub-tribes, and brought crop seeds, livestock, labor tools, Living utensils, etc., enter the peach garden behind the Great You Palace, and then seal the tunnel with stones, only flowing water, not pedestrians.

In the eyes of the Ba people, the continuation of the tribe from generation to generation is a hundred, a thousand times more important than the life of any individual, and it is also the most sacred thing, and no one has any privileges, so even the two sisters of Gongtaohua and Gongtaohong were unable to enter the Taoyuan for refuge because they were overage, that is, they had the ability to fight, or all or part of the ability to provide logistical services;

Until the Jin Dynasty, someone had inadvertently been to the Peach Blossom Spring. Mr. Tao Yuanming wrote "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring" for this purpose. Some people suspect that what Mr. remembered is the descendants of the Gong tribe. Later generations will know that there is a fairyland of Peach Blossom Spring, but it is difficult to find it - this is a later story, and I will not say more.

The Chu general Qu Rong broke through the Youshui Gongshi, and then went to the next city, wanting to expand the results of the battle, and transferred troops to reinforce, in an attempt to take an important military material wharf on the Danfu River in one go, and open up the passage to the vast area in the lower reaches of the Danfu River, and even the important town (old capital) of Pakistan.

Qu Rong transferred away the six or seven thousand reserve troops that had been left in Ba Tong before, and the rest of the Yu clan took the opportunity to gather and launch a night sneak attack on Ba Tong City. Due to the carelessness of the remaining Chu generals, more than 300 Chu troops were killed and hundreds were wounded.

The news quickly spread to Qu Rong, who was stationed in Youcheng.

Qu Rong was shocked, ordered the general Batong to be beheaded on the spot, and was forced to suspend the attack on Gongtan, return to the army to clear the remaining enemy, and consolidate the defense of Batong city and the grain and grass route.

When the lieutenant general of Ba Guo and the general of Longwu were ordered to lead the Ba army on this road, in the area of the Shengui Gorge from Gongtan to the Qianjiang River, a tributary of the Danfu River, and at the same time held the Chu army of Qu Rong and the Chu army of Shicheng.

The Dream Dragon entered a temporary stalemate on this side, and the Yushui Salt Spring and Yucheng on the other side were already in danger.

It turned out that the Chu army had broken through Shicheng, a military stronghold in the southeast of Ba, and Ba Yuan'an, the eighth prince of Ba State, hurriedly retreated from Duting Mountain to defend Yushui, and Zhuang Fuling, the general of the Chu army who had broken through Shicheng, was pursuing Ba Yuan'an, and Zhao Yun, the general who was pursuing Ba Yuan'an, gave up Ba Yuan'an, handed over the army, and led 3,000 people to carry out a special task; at the same time, he ordered the famous general to lead 10,000 men to defend Shicheng and its surroundings. Nang Han believed that the Pakistani army was losing and retreating, and it only took 5,000 people to defend the stone city, and a large number of troops should go straight to the strategic target - Yushui Salt Spring.

Zhuang Fu accepted the suggestion of the Han and used the famous brave general Douying as the striker, concentrating on the capture of Yushui Salt Spring and Yucheng.

After accepting the task of defending the stone city, he immediately ordered one of his troops to go down the Qianjiang River (Apeng River) to fight Gongtan in order to cut off the back road of the Pakistani army of the Pakistani army, and was defeated by Zheng Rong, the deputy general of the Shicheng military camp of the Pakistani country, Du Zhi, the general of the Yuhou department, and Furong, the main plate of the Sanmiao Village, took advantage of the terrain to fight an ambush in the Shengui Gorge, and the Chu army was defeated back to Shicheng.

In less than a day, the Pakistani army of Gu Menglong retreated to Gongtan.

General Chu suffered a small setback, but he did not give up, and saw that the Menglong had retreated to Gongtan, so he sent someone to date Qu Rong, hoping to attack the Menglong at the same time.

However, Qu Rong believes that his Chu army has captured a large area of land of the two major tribes of the Ba clan and the communist clan, and has seized a lot of wealth and slaves, which seems to be going well, but in fact, there is a big crisis lurking, and the scattered Ba people may reunite at any time like the clan of the Yu clan and give the Chu army an unexpected blow, and he urgently needs to stabilize the occupied area, and replied to Nang Han that the idea of attacking the Menglong at the same time is very good, but the army that has just broken through Youcheng in January needs to rest and prepare for a new round of attack.

Nang Han thought that Qu Rong's decision gave Yu Menglong a chance to breathe, but the task given by the main general Zhuang Fu was to hold the stone city, and on the premise of not being absolutely sure, it was still appropriate to be stable, so he also stood still for the time being, but he thought in his heart that Qu Rong thought that the object of the joint operation should be Zhuang Fu, that is, Qu Rong looked down on himself.

The defeat was like a mountain. The famous general of Chu Douying broke through the Tingzi Pass, and the Chu army forced Yucheng again, only waiting for the army led by the main general Zhuang Fu to arrive, and launched a general attack to capture the old nest of the Marquis of Yushui and the most important city in the southeast of Ba (Yandu Yucheng).
