"The Chu general Qu Rong, also known as Qu Rong, is a Ba Guotong, who arrived at Guzhangba three months ago, served as the chief general of the Chu army in the area, and is training samurai; he also sent spies to explore the terrain, etc., and his intention is very obvious: to seize Ba Tong, and form a pincer attack on a large area of land southeast of China with Yangming in Yicheng.

Therefore, General Du Baxiu advocated giving him a dismount first.

"The secret order has arrived, select the samurai, and secretly gather them in Ba Tong within a time limit. You go with Biao'er this time, for the pedestrians in the army, remind him a lot. Besides, if there is any situation, let people report it to me in time. ”

It turned out that before the battle of Bashu Chuzifang, Ba had fought with Chu many times in the direction of Youshui and Yuanshui (now southeast of Chongqing and west of Xiangxi). After the battle of Zifang, except for local mutual provocations, the state of Chu attacked Pakistan only three times from this direction, and the scale was not large, mainly to respond to the attack in the direction of Yicheng.

The generals of the Pakistani army did not know much about the Chu general Qu Rong, who had never faced him, but the secret agents of Ba Xiu, the lieutenant general of Pakistan stationed in the capital of Fangdu, found out that he was known as "Ba Guotong" in Chu and had long had the ambition to win Ba.

The most terrifying person in the world is a person with a heart, and for such a person to serve as the chief general of the Chu army's ancient battle camp, the brave and resourceful Ba Guozhong General and the general of the Citrus Capital, Ba Xiu, of course, can't sit still, and even feels that he may be a more terrible enemy general than Yang Ming.

With the consent of the sixth prince Ba Ping'an, he reported to Jiangzhou, and the lord of Ba agreed to secretly use troops against Qu Rong, concentrating the two divisions of the mountains and waters of the camp of the Tongdu and Ba Tong, as well as the elite soldiers of the three major tribes of the Hu'an Shanzhu clan, the Youshui Gong clan, and the Ba Tong clan, to catch him off guard and play a preemptive role.

At the same time, in order to prevent the Chu general Yangming from finding out the news and taking the opportunity to use troops in the direction of Yushui, Ba Xiu ordered the two divisions of the eighth prince Ba Yuanan and Yuhou in the Shicheng military camp to be stationed in situ in the name of the sixth prince Ba Ping'an, and pay attention to Yangming's movements at any time.

Due to the illness of the sixth prince Ba Ping'an, the commander of Ba State ordered General Ba Xiu to be the commander of this time, and led the troops to attack the Guzhang military camp of Chu State.

The order was passed to Hu'an Mountain, and Mu Cheng, the master of the mountain master, proposed that Gongzi Menglong be the chief general of the Hu'an Mountain tribe (he thought that Zhu Menglong was the main general, and it was a matter of course that it was a matter of time), and led about half of the elite warriors of the Hu'an Mountain tribe to go out, but Uncle Gu thought that Mu Menglong still needed to be experienced, so he ordered Mu Cheng to be the main general, and Pu Yancang, the main general of the boat master, as the deputy, and the rest of the Yuan, Tutianqi, Xiangmei, Zhuwu, Panfurong, etc. as the leaders, and the Menglong still supervised the army, and of course served as the chief wizard in the army.

The general leader of Hu'an Palace, Wu Baichang and Fan Xiaohu, the head of the mountain division Wu Baichang, stayed in Hu'an Mountain, responsible for the safety of Hu'an Palace and responding to emergencies in the territory. Half of the tiger ben of Hu'an Palace went out with the dream.

The samurai of the rest of the sub-tribes entered the Gongtan within a limited time, passed through the Youshui Gong Clan, turned into the territory of the Xuan Clan, and arrived at the assembly destination.

Tho Yuan, the son of Tho Huai, the chief of grain and grass in Hu'an Palace, led the baggage (logistics troops), and the steward of the Tiankeng Prison Camp Guo Genfeng (the second son of Guo Wuyuan, the former leader of the Guo clan and the son-in-law of Yu Chang, a civil official of Hu'an Palace), was recruited as a pedestrian in the army.

The next day, in the camp of the boat division at the mouth of the Sanmiao Lake, the Menglong presided over the sacrificial ceremony, and then the main general Mu Cheng ordered: the subordinate departments are divided into several small teams, separated by several miles (if you encounter a place where the field of vision is too wide, you need to further break it into zero, and try to hide it).

Whenever they went to a steep mountain, river valley, long bridge, etc., they had to worship gods and ghosts and seek safety to pass through the obstacles, which was the rule at that time. Due to the urgency of time, the Menglong and the son of the great wizard of Hu'an Palace, Zhu Ying, were separated by several miles from each other, taking turns in front, in order to encounter the mountains that need to be worshipped, etc., when the front team was worshipping, the back team rushed to the front to worship the danger in front and save time.

Urging the army to advance rapidly, Mu Cheng and Gu Menglong took the lead in entering Longtan Dam (now Longtan Town, Youyang County, Chongqing City). There is a tribe here, which belongs to the Gong clan.

Longtan Dam is surrounded by mountains and waters, and the building is unique. There is a famous ferry (wharf) here, and it is also one of the important ferries for transporting salt in Pakistan, the scenery is beautiful, and there is a poem "Longtan" inscribed by Wei Zhuang, a poet of the Tang Dynasty Huajian School:

The stone is full of snow and snow, and the five dragons are idle in the wild clouds,

Temporarily collect the thunder and lightning under the nine peaks, and drink the water in the brook pool,

The waves lead the float to the north shore, and the waves are immersed in the east mountain,

Looking back at all sides is like looking at the painting, and you must believe that the tourists do not want to return.

More than 2,200 years later, Zhao Shiyan, one of the early outstanding leaders of the Chinese Communist Party, was born here.

I didn't have time to take a closer look at the scenery and ran all the way.

Soon, the main force of the Hu'an Mountain tribe entered the jurisdiction of the Baguo clan (now Xiushan County, Chongqing City), only to see here, and the two sides of the Danfu River, is a completely different terrain: a horse and a flat river, the scenery is beautiful.

Here, during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, it belonged to the land of commerce, and the Spring and Autumn Period belonged to the southern Xinjiang of Pakistan, and it was a place where soldiers fought for since ancient times. Qing Dynasty celebrity Zhang Kai Zeng poem said:

Shu Road is sometimes exhausted,

Spring breeze several punishments;

Rain,

Involved in Chu Tianyun.

"The soldier is fast". This way, the Ba army hurried at dawn and arrived at Batong City.

Batong is today's Chadong. Located at the junction of Hunan, Guizhou and Chongqing provinces (cities), Chadong is known as "one foot on three provinces".

Nowadays, Chadong has been renamed "Border City", in the west of Huayuan County, Hunan Province, it is the west gate of Hunan and one of the four ancient towns in Xiangxi. At that time, it belonged to the border gateway of Pakistan and was heavily garrisoned.

The scenery here, Mr. Shen Congwen's "Border City" has been written to the extreme, and he doesn't dare to mention a word.

The city is divided into two parts, the left city is the residence of the ruler of the clan of the Worm clan, and the right city is the southernmost military camp (Ba Tong military camp) station.

According to the order of the commander Ba Xiu, Mu Cheng, the head of the Hu'an Mountain Division, ordered the warriors who arrived near Ba Tong to scatter and hide in the jungle, and he and Yu Menglong and the boat master Pu Yancang took a small number of followers into Ba Tong City.

When they entered the city, they learned that Ba Xiu, the chief general of the whole army, and other generals had arrived before them.

When Yu Menglong met Ba Xiu, he met Ba Dong, a famous general of Ba Guo and the head of the Ba Tong military camp, for the first time.

Ba Dong, with a great figure, was thirty-six years old at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve. The tribe where Ba Dong was born did not belong to the White Tiger Ba people, but to the "Zongji no Ba", that is, the former Bazi royal family.

"Huayang Guozhi • Ba Zhi" recorded: "King Wu both Ke Yin, with his sect Ji Feng Ziba", about in the area of today's Han Shui, the academic community on the Zhou Wu King Feng Bazi is the surname Ji or the surname, what specific place to seal, the debate is quite big, this book does not argue.

After the White Tiger Ba people became dominant, they rarely had to argue about this boring public case, so they just pasted the honor of all the Ba people on their faces.

Legend has it that the country of Jiba was later destroyed, and the ancestors of Ba Dong for several generations continued to move, and finally moved to the residential area of the Baihuba people, seeing that the Baihuba people had become the dominant people without any doubt, they came to luck at the right time, and dug out a golden power battle in the sandy beach on the bank of Yushui (now Chongqing Hechuan, a section of the Jialing River), and dedicated it to the lord of Ba, who was overjoyed and thought that it was bestowed by God.

Later generations generally believe that Ba Dong's ancestors had the ability to refine gold artifacts, and in order to curry favor with Ba Zhu and seek development, he specially made a special power battle and buried it in the beach - this trick has been performed more than once in history, and even the soldier uprising can make "Da Chu Xing, Chen Sheng Wang" - but the key point is different, that is, the Ba people completely believe that it is God's will.

There is a wild history that records that this power battle is relatively similar to the "fish king battle" unearthed in Sanxingdui, but its patterns are not the same.

With the great merit of donating gold, the Badong family has benefited from several generations, and several people are secretaries and generals.

As for Ba Dong himself, it is still reused. In the past, Ba Dong was by the side of the lord of Ba, had many military exploits, and served as the general of the Jiangzhou Tiger Kingdom at a young age, which was about equivalent to the leader of the forbidden army, and later offended the son Banan An at that time.

At that time, Ba Dong was 27 years old, had been stationed here for nearly ten years, and his family had also moved here, winning the hearts of the military and civilians.

Although the people of Chu attacked Ba Guo several times from the direction of Ba Dong, they all returned in vain and never approached the city of Ba Tong, so people praised Ba Dong as the "Great Wall of Ba Dong", which means that no one can break through its defenses.

When he was less than ten years old, he had heard of Ba Dong's name, and when he saw it today, he was very excited.

The generals conspired, and Ba Xiu directly issued the advance plan that had been discussed with Ba Dong, the leader of the clan and others in the starry night last night: with less than 10,000 elite soldiers, they would make a long-distance attack and launch a surprise attack on the main force of about 25,000 people of the Chu army stationed in Guzhang......
