Chapter 444: Salt Springs Change Hands

"When people didn't come long and said that there was urgent military business, we hurried out to find the general. "Someone said.

Returning to the Turtle Gorge camp, Tutian saw that the tiger of Hu'an Palace was here, and his heart was shocked.

Chu Wei said: "The eighth prince ordered all the warriors and boats to immediately evacuate to the Yushuikoudu clan. General Long Wu specially asked me to urge you to move quickly!"

Tu Tianqi was shocked: "This shows that Yucheng can't hold it!"

Everyone was shocked.

Tu Tianqi and Zheng Rong ordered at the same time: everyone immediately marched to Gongtan.

When Tutian arrived at Gongtan, all the departments had arrived, and only the Ba army guarding the Shenguilai was left to count and board the boat immediately.

General Long Wu, the temporary chief of the Pakistani army, the boat team led by the temporary commander of the Pakistani army, Miao Menglong, withdrew to the Dushi ferry in Yushuikou, saw the defeated soldiers of Pakistan and countless refugees, and heard that the eighth prince Ba Yuanan and others had arrived first, and Ezhuo and Eyue were in the rear.

Zhu Menglong, Tu Tianqi, and Zheng Rong hurriedly went to the boat of the commander of the Pakistani army to see the eighth prince Ba Yuan'an.

didn't pay attention to the number of etiquette, and said to Menglong: "Son, how did Yucheng lose?"

Ba Yuanan let out a long sigh and closed his eyes.

The three of them didn't dare to make a sound.

After a long while, Ba Yuanan opened his eyes and said: "Yu Hou and I stuck to Yucheng and repelled several attacks by the Chu army, and the Chu army entered the city two or three times, but they were all driven out.

"The morning before yesterday, the sky was just bright, the Chu army came to attack the city again, to the city, before it started, suddenly heard the sound of killing outside the city, an army from behind the Chu army killed, the Chu army hurriedly turned around to meet the enemy, suddenly chaos, one after another. Looking at the banners, clothes, and weapons of the reinforcements, I knew that it was the arrival of the Yelang army. So, we opened the gates of the city and attacked from the inside and outside.

"When we kill it, we will know that we have fallen into a big trap. It turned out that this Yelang people were pretended to be by Chu General Zhaoyun's department. Obviously, Yoro's reinforcements have been routed. As a last resort, I had to give up Yucheng.

Fan Ju and the others fought hard, opened a bloody road, broke out of the encirclement, and had to be broken by the Ezhuo brothers and others desperately before they picked a life. Yuhou's father and son and many others do not know their whereabouts, and they should have died in battle. ”

"Zhaoyun again?" said the dream-dragon.

"Yes!" Ba Yuanan said hatefully and helplessly.

"The people of Chu are too cunning. The dragon sighed.

"Qu Rong went out of Yuanshui with great fanfare, and the main force of our army went to meet the enemy, but Chu General Zhaoyun suddenly appeared in Qipoke Mountain and Duting Mountain, thinking that it was true, but in fact it was still false, and Chu General Zhuang recaptured Shicheng, Tingziguan, and Yucheng is the real move. ”

"Zhuang Fu, Zhuang Fu, it's too deeply hidden. "Dream Dragon Road.

"What is even more unexpected is the news that the secret agent has come back from the capital of Chu State: all this is from the conspiracy of our old adversary Yang Ming. Ba Yuan'an said softly, like a thunderclap.

The few people in the Menglong were surprised.

Blind Menglong said: "Is Yangming back again?"

"Now it seems that Yang Ming was dismissed by the King of Chu, but it was just to hide people's eyes. Yang Ming not only came back, he should have come back a few days ago, but we were still kept in the dark. It wasn't until Douying killed Ba Lu that I began to realize if Yang Ming had also returned, but it wasn't until a few days ago that it was finally confirmed. ”

It turned out that in the previous year, Yang Ming was defeated at Tingziguan, returned to the national capital, and sent a secret letter to the king of Chu, in which in addition to asking for guilt, and on the strategy of cutting Ba again: first, to make the general Zhuang Fu, who was considered incompetent by the Ba people, serve as the chief general of the Chu army in Yicheng and paralyze the Ba people;

The king of Chu looked at the secret table, asked Yang Ming to enter the palace to discuss in detail, adopted Yang Ming's opinion, and explicitly dismissed Yang Ming from his position, and actually asked him to secretly formulate a plan to cut Ba, which really succeeded.

Yu Menglong said: "Back then, the world's first arrow raised Yuji, a martial artist, how could there be a descendant with so many hearts?

Tutian ruler said: "If you don't kill the thief who raised Ming, how can you be willing! There is also a fighting eagle, which has harmed several of my famous generals." ”

Ba Yuanan said: "Douying this person, more than Chinese New Year's Eve, martial arts are superb, and he is not afraid of death, the Chu people call 'Banjian sorrow', Ban is the tiger, obviously aimed at my White Tiger Ba people." In this battle, our army was defeated, a large area of land of the three major tribes was lost, Yushui Salt Spring changed hands, and the crime of my Ba Yuan'an was monstrous!"

Yu Menglong comforted: "The matter has come to this point, and the son doesn't have to blame himself." When you are in danger, you must plan quickly. What are your plans for now?"

Ba Yuanan said: "After losing Ba Tong, Youcheng, and Yucheng one after another, this son is determined to fight to the death with the Chu army here, either succeed or become benevolent!"

"According to the last general, the decisive battle at Yushuikou has four disadvantages, so it is better to fight to the death with the Chu army at Longxikou." ”

Ba Yuanan said: "Please tell me and listen." ”

"First, Yushuikou, the Chu army's boat division can go down the river from Yucheng and Gongtan, and our army must divide its troops to block it. Our army is already weaker than the Chu army, and it will be more difficult to win if it is divided into two routes, and on the mouth of Longxi, we can concentrate our forces to fight a decisive battle with Chu.

"Second, the men, women and children of the various tribes to which Yuhou belongs have done their best to defend Yucheng and Yanquan, and the serious shortage of military supplies and other problems have been very obvious, and Longxikou is the official road for our department to leave Hu'an Mountain, and there is a large amount of grain and grass concentrated on Hu'an Mountain, and the supply route is also short.

"Third, Yushuikou has always belonged to the Yuhou Department, Yucheng has been lost, Bapeng Gongzi and other martyrdom, Yuhou does not know the whereabouts for a while, I am afraid that he has sacrificed his life for the country, the Yuhou tribe has been scattered, just like the bird with a frightened bow; and Longxikou belongs to my Hu'anshan tribe, we have long been ready for a decisive battle in Danfushui one day, and our army and people will unite as one.

"Fourth, this place is too close to Yucheng, and the Chu army can come in the morning and evening, and it is too late to explore its reality. ”

Ba Yuanan nodded and said, "This matter is discussed." ”

Zheng Rong, the deputy general of the Shicheng military camp and a famous warrior, said: "What about the Bashu war? Is it possible to increase troops to Danfushui?"

Ba Yuanan said: "This time, the Shu people have changed the old habit of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, although the Bashu front line is not as tight as the southeast, but they dare not divide the troops, and the father-in-law and the fourth brother are also in a dilemma. I have asked my father-in-law for help again, but I don't know when I will come, and how many people will come?"

The next day, Ba Yuan'an, the eighth prince of Pakistan, ordered the whole army to withdraw to Longxikou, another important wharf on the Danfu waterside.

Within a few days, the Chu army met in Yushuikou, and the Du clan to which Yuhou belonged fell.

The Chu army was on both sides of the confluence of Dan Fushui and Yushui.

At this point, the Funiu Mountain Salt Spring (Yushui Salt Spring), which was once one of the three major salt springs in Pakistan, fell into the hands of the Chu people.

The news of the loss of the salt spring of Funiu Mountain and Yucheng was carried out one after another, like a flying pigeon passing a book, and it quickly spread all over Danfushui, and the people were panicked.

When Hu Anbo heard the bad news, he vomited blood in his mouth, passed out in a coma, and his condition worsened.

When Du Qunfang, the Huben guard of Hu'an Palace, heard that the Du clan had fallen, his uncle, uncle, cousin and many samurai had died in battle, and the clan was scattered, he gritted his teeth with hatred, raised his eyebrows, and shouted: "I will go to avenge them!"

Tho Manzi and others stopped him by force.

Du Qunfang stole wine to relieve his sorrows. As the so-called borrowing wine to drown sorrow is even more sorrowful, a day and a night do not wake up, the next day, only poured wine, ran to the small martial arts field in Hu'an Palace to get drunk, smashed weapons and other things, someone to persuade, see people to beat, persuasion can not stop, and dare not report to Hu Anbo and his wife Ba Yongqiu, Tho barbarian had to go to ask Du Qunfang's uncle, Hu'an Palace pedestrian Guo Gong Feng to suppress the evil, helpless Guo Gong Feng came back and only stayed for one night, the next day before dawn and went on business.

At this time, someone proposed to ask Du Qunfang's nemesis, the little master of Hu'an Palace, Ruyan, to deal with it.

Ruyan already knew about the fall of the Du clan, and knew that Du Qunfang would definitely be quite painful, but he didn't expect that he would be completely unrestrained, and hurriedly followed the visitor into the small school field of Hu'an Palace, and first patiently persuaded him.

The more persuasive Ruyan is, the more Qun Fangfang gritted his teeth, and the more irrational his behavior becomes, Ruyan's mood is also not good, seeing that good and bad words have no effect, he didn't hold back for a while, and gave Du Qunfang two slaps in the face, and actually retreated Du Qunfang's divine light.

Du Qunfang suddenly sobered up, and then he relented.

After dealing with this matter, he returned to Wenmeng Garden like smoke, and as soon as he arrived at the gate of the garden, he heard Gong Taohua, the daughter of the leader of the Gong clan, crying again, and the women such as Meng Yu were persuading again, and listened to Gong Taohua say: "I am living in secret, it is better for Bayi to die, she is ten times stronger than me!"

Ruyan was very unpleasant about Du Qunfang's matter, and went in and said: "Yuhou, Ayi, there is no definite news so far, how can you be sure that Ayi is dead? Maybe she is still alive." ”

The total peach blossom couldn't answer for a while, and the dream language, such as smoke, and wishful thinking persuaded him to stop again.

A few days later, the Chu army found a corpse in the salt spring of Funiu Mountain, there was no decay at all, it was identified as Yushui Hou Bapeng, the Chu army thought it was a god, fished it out and buried it respectfully, and set up a monument to enjoy the offerings of future generations.

It turned out that when Yucheng was broken, the eighth prince Ba Yuan'an ordered to withdraw to Danfushui, and Yuhou said to his relatives: "The ancestors of my White Tiger clan handed over the salt spring of Funiu Mountain to the care of my descendants of this lineage, and today it fell into the hands of the Chu people, what face do I have to see my ancestors? To see the White Tiger God? I will not go to Danfushui, I will go to Funiu Mountain, and live and die with the salt spring!"

Yu Hou led more than 100 warriors of the guard to the Feishui Well and was surrounded by the pursuing Chu army.

Yu Hou jumped into the big wooden barrel in the Yushui River to isolate the salt water, because the salt water was buoyant and could not sink, Yu Hou was furious: "I can't die!" Climbed out of the salt bucket, picked up a big stone, and jumped into the salt water bucket again to sink himself.

The Chu soldiers cleaned up the salt spring and found the body of Yuhou, or soaked in salt water, so it did not rot, and the Chu army thought that he had become a god.

Yuhou's eldest son, Ba Sheng, younger brother Ba Gui and many others have been killed in battle.

However, he said that Yufu Zhongqing Bagui went to Yelang again and invited rescuers, but was detained by the lord of Yelang as a hostage in exchange for the beauty Bayi. After the fall of Yusui, Bagui had no choice but to stay in Yoro.

Later, the lord of Yelang loved Bagui Nengwen Nengwu and married the widowed ten princesses to Bagui. Bagui escaped the doom of what some people think was the tenth princess "Kefu", and lived the second half of her life happily before dying.

Yu Hou's youngest daughter Ayi (Bayilan, Bayi) has been missing since then.

There is a legend: before the destruction of Yucheng, Bayi led a part of his clan to escape to Niujiaozhai in Changxi River under the order of his father Yuhou to escape the war. Others cite the Changxi River's later renaming as "Ayi River" as evidence.

There is also a legend that Yelang Country once sent people to look for Ayi, but it is unknown whether he found it or not.

Nowadays, the Ayi River is a famous tourist destination, not to mention the natural scenery, the national culture is colorful, and the regional customs are unique.

That's for later.

The Yushui Funiu Mountain Salt Spring, one of the three major salt springs of Pakistan, which was thrown by the warriors of Pakistan and sprinkled with blood, fell into the hands of the Chu people, but the Yanba War did not end.

It is a very important year for the country of Ba, which is 361 B.C., and the history records: King Xuan of Chu sent his troops to invade Ba to the west.
