Chapter 821: Straight to the Yellow Dragon
Jiuchuan Mansion, among the mountains and mountains, a group of birds seemed to be frightened and fluttered their wings and flew up from the nest, and bursts of birdsong echoed in the mountain stream, without stopping for a long time.
The land of Jiuchuan is like a pot, surrounded by mountains, as the remnants of millions of mountains in the southwest, the mountains are ups and downs, the mountains are stacked and green, the valleys and ravines are vertical and horizontal, although it is not a thousand mountains and birds fly away, and the traces of people in ten thousand paths are extinguished, but it is also an old hunter who even enters the mountain, and the medicine farmers rarely go deep into it.
The three thousand Li barbarians who are the best at mountain climbing are walking in this Jiuchuan mountain where there is no road at all at this moment, Qin Qiong stood on a big rock that came out abruptly, looking around, there are still mountains and seas and forests, and there seems to be no end, and in it, Qin Qiong has a feeling of losing his direction and losing his position.
"Uncle Zhu, we have to walk for a few days to get out of this big mountain, looking at the mountains and trees around here, my heart is always empty!" Qin Qiong jumped off the boulder and asked a medicine farmer who was cooking rice under the boulder.
"Commander Qin, you just put your heart in your stomach, there are my following marks along this road, you can't be wrong, but it's normal for you to have no bottom in your heart, in this big mountain, there is no village in front, there is no shop behind, except for the mountain, it is a tree, and there is not even a decent road, so I will naturally feel like this when I walk! If it weren't for the old man, I would rely on this to eat, and I wouldn't want to run into the mountain!"
Qin Qiong felt a lot more comfortable when he heard this, and now the more than 3,000 of them are all counting on this old man: "By the way, Uncle Zhu, why did you go from outside the mountains to the middle of the river back then, this way, it's not close!"
Hearing Qin Qiong's question, Uncle Zhu seemed to recall the past, and said slowly: "Don't let you laugh, after I entered the mountain, I also wanted to dig up more herbs to go back, so that I could exchange money to marry a daughter-in-law, but the valuable herbs on the outer mountains were almost dug up, so I could only venture into the mountains!"
"It's also unlucky, only three days into the mountain, I encountered the tide of beasts, I want to go back to the no play, I can only go to the west hard, at that time it was also to survive, I didn't expect to really let me into the valley of the river, and I also gained a lot along the way, but in this mountain, there are many dangers, since that time, I also married a wife and had children, no longer a single, and I didn't go into the deep mountains!"
"Is there a beast tide in this mountain?" Qin Qiong was also a little surprised, the beast tide is usually a relatively remote mountainous area, and the fire is the kind of disaster that only happens from time to time in a gathering place such as a hundred thousand mountains, or the Tongtian Mountain Range in the north, and the harm is not small.
"Yes, but don't worry, you have so many elite warriors, even if you encounter the beast tide, you don't have to be afraid, in our mountain, there are no powerful magical beasts, most of the beasts, and the beast tide is not every year, usually there are earthquakes, heavy rain landslides and the like will cause the beast tide riot, we shouldn't be able to touch it, go forward, it is the Broken Sky Cliff, after this cliff, after turning over a few mountains, you can enter the valley in the middle of the river!"
The population of Hulu County is only tens of thousands, and there are only two large towns in the whole county, except for the villages in the valley, the rest are mountain villages located on the mountains.
Hutou Mountain Village, the population is only about 20 households, most of the villagers are hunters, every day the village hunters will enter the mountains to hunt, especially the recent beacon fires, the tax in the small village is much more than in previous years, so they have to go farther into the mountains to hunt.
"This lord, there is nothing to entertain at home, this bacon was smoked at the end of last year, and the best meat is used, you can taste it!" Zhang Orion diligently took out the best food in the house, filled a large basin with it, and put it on the table.
"Zhang Orion, don't be busy, these dishes are already very rich, by the way, this is out of this gourd county, how far is it from Jiuchuan City!" Qin Qiong took a piece of meat and asked while eating.
"It depends on how to go, if you take the avenue, you have to go far away, our Hulu County's valley mouth is in the southwest, go to Jiuchuan City and go around a long way, almost have to walk three or five hundred miles, if you take the mountain road, it is a lot closer, only one hundred and ten miles of mountain roads can reach the vicinity of Jiuchuan City. ”
"Oh, it's an easy road!"
"Well, it's good to go, we hunters sometimes hit a good skin, will take Jiuchuan City to sell, in order to save time, take this mountain road, although this road is not easy to walk, but it is close, for us, but it is used to walking, I see that those soldiers under the command of the adults, it seems that they are also good at walking mountain roads, a hundred and ten miles of mountain roads, that is, a day's business!?"
"But what?"
"But if you want to take this mountain road, you have to enter the mountain from the southwest of Hulu Valley, and you have to hit the vicinity of the county seat, but this can't be bypassed!" Zhang Orion hesitated.
"Hehe, I thought what was the matter, since we came, this Hulu County will naturally have to be taken down by the way, not only Hulu County, but also the entire Sichuan Valley, and even the Jiuchuan Mansion, those rebels will not be able to jump for a few days!" Qin Qiong said with a smile.
Zhang Orion listened, but his interest was not very high, it seemed that it was not very important who ruled here.
"What, the rebels were driven away, and you're not happy?"
Zhang Orion grinned and reluctantly laughed twice, but he didn't answer, but Uncle Zhu on the side said: "There's nothing to be happy about, when this empire was still ruled, it was mostly oppressed by the mountain people, and it was still the same when the rebels ruled, so ah, whoever rules is almost the same!"
When Qin Qiong heard this, he laughed and said: "So that's the case, I, Qin Qiong, am here to say a big thing, this time I defeated the rebels, and all the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes in our Jiuchuan Mansion will be exempted, if anyone dares to collect taxes indiscriminately and oppress the people, you will go to Jiuchuan City to find me, and I will directly lead the troops to raid his home!"
"Lord Qin is telling the truth, can you call the shots in this matter?"
"Don't worry, since I said it, it's true, this day is no longer the original day, and naturally it won't be the same, and when we have a full stomach, let's go down the mountain, and first copy the few families you said are rich and unkind, and the few people who oppress the people will be copied first!"
"Okay, if General Qin really kills Liu Papi's family, we are twenty hunters in Hushan Village, and we are willing to follow the general to pacify Jiuchuan!"
Jiuchuan is mountainous, and there are many hunters who are good at shooting, Qin Liangyu recruited thousands of hunters who are good at shooting here, and on this basis, he took Panlong City, it can be said that these hunters who have been hunting in the mountains since childhood are the best archers and qualified soldiers.
Qin Qiong naturally will not let go of this good opportunity, you must know that his previous subordinates are almost scattered, dead and dead, there are only eight hundred left, although after entering Panlong City, he led the troops again, and there are thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, but most of them are the children of Panlong City, and they are far inferior to the Orions in Jiuchuan Mountain.
And this operation, his 3,000 soldiers and horses were borrowed from Shi Wansui, and he had to return them afterwards, if he could get the support of the hunters in the middle of the river, he could organize an elite team that was good at mountain warfare.
After making up his mind, Qin Qiong had a meal, and without delay, he went directly down Hutou Mountain, and three thousand soldiers and horses rushed all the way to the county seat of Hulu County.
Hulu County is a remote county, the city wall of the county seat is not more than one zhang five, and the city is small and dilapidated, and even some places have collapsed for a while, so far it has not been repaired, in the county, it is still lively, and the flow of people out of the city into the city is continuous.
Qin Qiong's three thousand soldiers and horses killed all the way, and there was no reaction in the county, until Qin Qiong led people to kill the city, and the guards responsible for guarding the city found that something was wrong.
Hulu County is remote, it can be said that the outside is lively, and there has been no war here, whoever has the upper hand will take refuge in whom, anyway, filial piety to everyone is filial piety, and the three families in the city have always been the emperor of the soil here.
After Qin Qiong entered the city, directly under the leadership of Zhang Orion and others, he rushed into the three major families, and issued a notice to the people, as well as the decision to execute the three major families, and the county was quickly pacified, and when he saw that the three major families were confiscated, he immediately celebrated with a crown, and it was as lively as a festival.
It was really immediate, Qin Qiong looked at the sound of firecrackers on the street, shook his head and smiled bitterly, after issuing these two notices, Qin Qiong issued another recruitment notice, recruiting people who are good at shooting and are physically fit to enlist in the army, and for a while, the servants gathered.
Just as Qin Qiong crossed the Jiuchuan Mountain Range, bypassed the Central Sichuan Road, and directly entered the hinterland of Central Sichuan, the news was quickly transmitted back to Panlong City.
"Military Division, General Qin's strange soldiers have crossed the mountains of Jiuchuan, and they are currently in Hulu County, according to the plan, they will launch a surprise attack on the big city in Sichuan and the Jiuchuan Governance Office tomorrow!" Liang Hongyu took the news she had just received, and quickly came to the meeting hall and said to Sun Wu and Wu Zixu.
"Jiuchuan Mansion is just a meal on a plate, take it like a bag, General Qin's strange army is estimated to have good news soon, and the 30,000 rebels stationed on the middle of the Sichuan Road, after hearing the news, it is estimated that there will be some turmoil soon, especially the rebel leader Zhang Yang, it is a wall of grass, first voted for the noble rebels, after we occupied Panlong City, we quickly voted for the Holy Sect, maybe we don't need to take the initiative, the other party will take the initiative to come to the door and surrender!"
"This person is not a good bird, or ...... directly!" Liang Hongyu obviously didn't have a good impression of him.
"If you want to kill him, it's easy, but for the time being, this guy is still useful, just let him take his soldiers and horses to act as the vanguard of our army, make use of waste, pick up and loot the land, and cause destruction, these guys are even better!" Wu Zixu said with a dark belly.
"It's a pity that it's going to hurt the people!"
"Only by ending this war as soon as possible can the people suffer less! This is the only thing we can do!" Sun Wudao said. Clear.
