Volume 1丨Jiang is the hometown of the Qing Dynasty Chapter 52: Burning the Plains with Water

Thousands of stacked colors paint Lan Dan, the scenery is rugged and locks the glow plate.

The remaining veins of the crumbs tail mountain, the peaks and peaks are all thousands of zhang high, towering into the clouds, the mountains into pieces, for the seven-colored stone color layer by layer, the circle follows, from the height of the invisible mountain top has spread to both sides of the Huali River, along the Xifeng City of Yuezhou to the Xifeng City of Yizhou, stretching for thousands of miles, the stone gravel that falls in clusters, from the crumbs of the mountain, constantly falls into the Huali River originating from the hazel country, constituting a very magnificent Tianji Huawu and the splendid river in the west of Jiang country.

There are many beautiful in the crumbs tail mountain, not only rare mineral deposits, but also countless rare vegetation and demon beasts, and the lynx people have lived in this world for thousands of years, although they have not developed to the level of civilization such as Laos and Hazelnut, and they cannot be compared with the civilization of Jiang, but with their strong physique and extremely long life, and the talent for the innate perception of the mountains and hills, as well as the unique technique of raising the movets, the lynx people have also become a small hidden danger in the western border of the Jiang country. But once the sky is not abundant, it is always like the hazel country, and the border troubles are constant.

Just after the summer solstice, one day, a few lynx children playing on the Huali River suddenly saw a few corpses floating on the river.

Eager to overcome their fear of wading, the children fished the corpses ashore with hooks and ropes, and dragged them back to the village to give credit to the elders, but they never thought that they would end up in disaster.

The well-informed elders, when they first saw the corpses, naturally recognized that these were Laos, more than a foot black all over, so they didn't take it to heart, but just saw the scheming of a few children, called the adults in the family, symbolically rewarded the two mulch cubs and the prey, and let people bury the corpses hastily.

That night, the small village of less than 100 people disappeared into the crumbs of the mountain, and since then the entire mountain has also been corroded by the black gas, until later, it was discovered by the lynx people in other villages, but it was too late, like an epidemic, quickly spread to the entire lynx tribes that inhabited here.

Group after group of lynx tribes who had lost their "minds" and huge movets kept rushing towards the west of the city from the direction of the West Lake, which was more than ten miles away. Outside the west of the city, on the Yunze Plain, in the vast fog of the day, I don't know how many lynx people are hidden in it, only the roar of the mad can be heard, and at night, outside the city wall, there are countless red fluorescents, as if to tell the people in the city that this is no longer the beautiful fertile land that was so peaceful and fantastic.

Before the autumn, the people in the city of Ouxi often use the strange method of discerning the direction of their ancestors during the day, go into the clouds and mist to evaporate in the clouds, hunt some rare and unique medicinal materials and mushrooms, and occasionally catch a few dry jumping fish, these things, after cooking and eating, have the effect of prolonging life, and are quite loved by those dignitaries and dignitaries in the state capital.

Since the autumn, more and more people who have gone out of the city have never returned, not only at night, but even during the day, there are people who have escaped back by luck, saying that there are lynx people there, compared to the past, the two sides are polite to see, as long as they do not rub each other, they are safe, but the lynx people encountered several times are extremely terrifying, the whole body is black and the eyes are red, and they will be eaten alive when they see a living person.

At first, people regarded it as a folk tasle they had heard in the past, after all, no one dared to say that they knew everything in Yunzeyuan, and the map that sold and outsiders came here to hunt for treasures, and the location marked on it was only one-tenth of the entire Yunzeyuan. So rumors spread among the people in the market, restaurants and inns, and later, after the soldiers of the city defense battalion who went out on patrol every day experienced two tragic attacks, they confirmed the rumors.

It was completely more dangerous than the rumors, and the team of 100 people who had gone away from the two detachments was only less than ten people when they returned, and everyone was uneasy, and stammered to describe to the lieutenant that at first, Yun Zeyuan was as calm as before, but after entering the depths, he would feel palpitations inexplicably, which was an intuition that had been on the battlefield for a long time. The closer you get to the direction of the West Lake, the low roar comes out from all directions, and you always feel that something is staring at everyone in the clouds. When the brothers at the end of the team let out a miserable scream, they had already disappeared, and the two guards immediately decided to return to the city, but it was too late, and suddenly a few black lynx people jumped out, with terrifying bloody eyes, it was a massacre, and all the brothers who were attacked were either inexplicably burned into ashes, or flesh and blood stumps flew on the spot, and two of them also became the terrifying appearance of the lynx. The crowd retreated while counterattacking, only to find that the lynx's response to the sword, axe, and hammer did not suffer any effective damage. In the end, only a few people fled back to the city with their lives, shouting and closing the gates.

After hearing about it, especially when he learned that there were brothers who would also become monsters, he decisively asked the Sifang City Gate to be closed even during the day, not allowing a single common man and merchants to enter and exit, and immediately sent someone to contact the state capital. Seeing these simple words, Du Wei slapped the letter scroll on the table, which was to let them fend for themselves here.

In the past, as long as the Lynx people made a move, the Lynx City would send a few brothers from the elite scout camp to take advantage of the opportunity of temporarily losing the cloud barrier on a small road at night in Yunzeyuan, and from the north shore of the Lake of the Lynx, the only access road, the Manyun stack in the ridge, would be demolished, so that the Lynx people who were not good at wading in the water could not invade in a big way, so they could only honestly cross the Huali River, and then swim across the West Lake to land, and then most of the remaining Lynx people were drowned, as long as they went ashore, they could only be slaughtered.

However, due to the fact that this place is too closed at the border pass, the transmission of information is a little slow, and the commander does not dare to act on his own, after all, in the summer, the prince has just negotiated with the elders of the lynx people to be safe and sound for the next few years, so he missed the opportunity to cut off the passage.

The grain and grass in the city can only last for more than a month, and there is already a restless atmosphere in the city, and some people have gathered at the east gate to make trouble, demanding that the city defense army open the gate and not let them wait for death here.

Jiang Guo's military system, although there is a saying that the general will not accept the orders of the monarch outside, but the commander hesitates, let the people in the city, and flee to Xincai City, which is hundreds of miles away, may be the only way at present, but if the terrible black plague invades there again, and then infects the entire Yuezhou, he will definitely bear the infamy of a sinner through the ages. But if you don't do this, tens of thousands of people in the city, as well as those dignitaries from other states who come here just to enjoy the wonders of Crumble Tail Mountain, can't starve to death here, and they can't afford to wait for it.

Far away in Changjing City, where the capital of Yuezhou Prefecture is located, Jiang Quancan, the king of Ling, is gathering and drinking with a group of dignitaries on the artificially built Xiuhu Dragon Boat, gathering and feasting.

Jiang Quancang pointed to the seat, a young man who was unrestrained and kept pouring himself drinks, and asked: "This friend seems to be the first time to see me for this banquet, do you know what is the surname of the son, and what is the official position?" ”

The man was still in the floating white Xingxing, and the bystander bumped him with his elbow, and reminded him in a low voice, only to react, King Ling was talking to himself, holding a wine glass towards Jiang Quancan, arching his hand, and replied: "In the Lower Qin Mo Period, there is no official and no position, I don't know if King Ling can advise?" ”-

Jiang Quancang raised his hand, drank all a cup, got up and walked off the main couch of the banquet, stepped down the steps, sat on the ground and sat beside Qin Moqi, pointed to the group of dignitaries and gentry who were staggered and blushing around him, and asked, "What do you think of my talent banquet?" ”

Qin Moqi smiled, drank the wine alone, filled a glass by himself, and said, "The meeting of soup cakes is generous." ”

A few friends from the family beside him wanted to pull him and take this opportunity to be able to appreciate King Ling, even if he was not reused, he could get to know others and fight for his own future, but when he heard Qin Moqi's words, he couldn't help frowning and continued to talk to each other, pretending not to hear.

"Oh? Does Brother Qin have any advice? ”

Qin Moqi reached into the placket of his clothes, grabbed a lice and came out, then threw it into the wine glass, and spread his hands to signal, which was regarded as answering Jiang Quancang's question.

Jiang Quancang didn't know why, and was about to continue asking, Qin Moqi took a chopstick, knocked on the edge of the table, and explained: "This thing, when it was on me, I was content just thinking about it and drinking two sips of red sweet, but now that I fell into this wine, I just wanted to live when I struggled." King Ling and the adults in this banquet are no different from the lice in this cup, in the eyes of someone in my Qin. After speaking, he got up, leaned over Jiang Quancang, and after informing his friends, he left the feast, went out to take a breath, and waited for the dragon boat to dock and continue to go home to sell brooms.

Jiang Quancang actually knew this "outrageous" Qin Moqi for a long time, and a guest once told him that there was a poor talent in the villages and towns under the deaf mountain in Yuezhou who was "great exploitation, strict and heroic".

Jiang Quancang left the people who were toasting, carried a pot of wine, and followed the cabin, came to the side of the boat to look at the rebellious Qin Moqi, and wanted to test the temptation again to dispel the doubts in his heart. This kind of trick, I have not seen this kind of trick for the first time, those so-called talents who are like carp crossing the river, I have seen too much.

"Brother Qin, why did you leave the table before you had enough to drink just now, come on, let's continue."

Qin Moqi turned around and looked at Jiang Quancang, turned the wine glass, let him fill the wine with one hand, and said: "I still remember how those people drew a line with you when the prince first came to Yuezhou, in a vain attempt to get off the horse with you, and let you know the 'simplicity' of the Yuezhou folk customs." Unexpectedly, the prince not only obeyed them, but was also deeply loved by the people. ”

"Oh? Brother Qin has been paying attention to me Jiang for a long time? ”

Qin Moqi continued, "I still remember that day, the prince's team passed through my town, because there were many people and horses, so he ordered all his subordinates to dismount with him and walk through the town, not to disturb the traders and people in the markets along the way, and even bought some local products to try, and he was not afraid that there would be those sneaky people doing bad things. Do you still remember that someone said to you, 'An Liang is good, love the people like Qin', and gave you two brooms? ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Quancang suddenly realized, and pointed at Qin Moqi with his finger, looking stunned.

"Your Highness, do you really care about that Xicheng?" Qin Moqi straightened his clothes and asked.

Jiang Quancang didn't explain, just dragged his arm, told the attendant to put down the boat, and then took the two of them to the island in the middle of the lake, a separate business for himself.

The family carried a lantern in front of them, and led the two of them to hurry through the courtyard after a few entrances, and came to the back hall, where the lights were bright, and a group of generals and conspirators gathered here to discuss something. On the wall, there is not only a map of the geographical situation of Yuezhou and the Lynx, but also Bozhou, Yizhou and Zhanzhou, where a black arrow goes straight down from Xifeng City on the border between Yizhou and Laos. On the side of Bozhou, in the southeast, there is a stone wall, marked with gray arrows, which penetrates directly into the state of Cangyang, where the city is located, and then splits into the east and west of Jozhou and Cizhou.

In the middle of the lobby, there is a sand table with a length and width of ten feet, and the West City, Xincai City and the surrounding villages and towns are impressively listed. Especially in the west of the city, there is a patch of black sand, and in the villages around Xincai City, there are patches of yellow sand, and there are several soldiers carved in stone standing on it. The people around him kept holding long poles and repeatedly deduced, but each time, it ended with giving up Xicheng.

Qin Moqi frowned when he saw the continuous "smashed" Xicheng and looked at Jiang Quancang, "Lord Wang, do you want to give up Luoxi City, and the tens of thousands of people in the city?" ”

Jiang Quancang did not answer Qin Moqi's question, but casually picked up a booklet on the table, handed it to Qin Moqi, and then rubbed his eyebrows and sat down on the chair.

In the booklet, all the information on the open and secret sides of Bozhou, Zhanzhou and Yizhou is summarized.

Qin Moqi first took a quick glance, couldn't believe it, and then carefully looked at it twice. Especially the war in Bozhou, it is simply unbelievable and unheard of.

Fortunately, a mysterious flying army quickly solved several sieges, and did not let the dirt Qi mentioned in the book continue to spread, but on the side of Yizhou Xifeng City, Hazel and Lao actually joined forces to break through, and the old Marquis Yi did not have any resistance, and let the dirt Qi who chased after the living people of the two countries drive straight into the territory and wantonly corrode the territory.

Qin Moqi put down the booklet, looked seriously at the dilapidated Xicheng in the sand table, and then looked back and forth in the hills and forests near Xincai City in the east, and then pointed to a dry ancient river, and suddenly said: "Lord Wang, here, dig the river to enclose it, and use water to set fire to the plain!" There is still hope! ”
