The man smiled and dodged away, and said, 'General Mutan, when will you change your habit of drawing your sword at every turn, and it will not be too late for you to kill after listening to me.' ’

"When the man finished speaking, he turned around and saw me, and hurriedly saluted, saying, 'My son-in-law is also here.' ’

I looked at her in a daze, not knowing how to return the salute.

"When the man saw this, he immediately introduced himself: 'Down there is the deputy town guard of Zeqi Mountain, whose name is Ran Xiangqi. ’

"I also saluted: 'General Qi is glad to meet you. I don't know where Zeqi Mountain is?'

"Ran Xiangqi pointed in the direction of Tianjia Mountain and said: 'Zeqi Mountain is on the west side of Tianyi Mountain, and Tianjia Mountain is separated from Tianyi Mountain. Tianyi Mountain and Zeqi Mountain are the left and right flanks of Tianjia Mountain, the gateway of Junshan, and the three mountains rely on each other to form a safety barrier of Junshan. I'm Zeqi Mountain......'

"Seeing that Ran Sheng Qi was talking endlessly, Ran Sheng Mu Tan interrupted her and said, 'Don't talk about that useless yet, you should quickly tell me about the two days of fighting. ’

"The eyebrows fluttered and the burning clothes suddenly suppressed their expressions, their bodies were like puppets with cut threads, they lowered their hands, tilted their heads and said: 'Half a moon ago, the Huandou people suddenly flew away, they captured the southeast fortress of General Burning Clothes, and came to attack Junshan again......

"Burning Clothes Mutan said impatiently: 'What are you talking about these old things, I already know the situation half a month ago, so I traveled day and night to wave the army. You just talk about the situation last night, how did Eighty-One Mountain deploy its defenses, why did Burning Clothes Hill be in Tianyi City, and with his own strength, even if he was a traitor, how could he defeat us so completely?"

"Ran Xiang said: 'I can't hide it, I don't know the end of the battle in Tianyi City last night. ’

"Ranshang Mutan said: 'As the deputy marshal of Yishan, you should be guilty of ignoring the war situation in the Junmu's station. ’

"Ran Xiangqi said: 'Last night I only had 900 soldiers in the city, and everything in the city needs to be handled by these 900 people, and I am also busy from morning to night every day, and I didn't sleep until the second drum last night, and the soldiers are even more tired. I really don't have the energy to pay attention to the movements of Tianyi City. ’

"Burning Clothes Mutan asked curiously: 'The garrison of a mountain, if there are not 100,000, there are 80,000, there are not 80,000, at least 40,000 or 50,000, even if it is a remote mountain, there will always be 10,000 people, why do you only have 900 soldiers in Zeqi Mountain?'

"Ran Sheng said: 'Half a month ago, Lord Shoufu ordered that except for a small number of soldiers in each mountain, the rest of the men and horses were transferred to Tianyi Mountain to garrison. I, Zeqi Mountain, is no exception, except for these nine hundred people, the rest of the soldiers and horses were taken to Tianyi Mountain by the town guard. In this way, the surrounding mountains lost their ability to defend themselves.

"But I personally think that Shousuke-sama's strategy is still correct. The Huandou people who attacked this time, although they had air superiority, but after all, there were not many troops, and if they concentrated their forces on Tianyi Mountain, they could at least ensure the safety of the monarch and the center of the capital. If it weren't for the rebellion of Burning Hill, it would still be able to deter the enemy for the time being, so that they would not dare to attack. Even if you come to commit it, you won't take advantage of it.

"'According to the report of the soldiers who escaped from Tianyi Mountain in the morning, these days, Ranxiangqiu has secretly changed guards and normal troop movements, and gradually let the officers and soldiers of Quyunling control eleven sky-piercing crossbow bases. As soon as Huandou attacked last night, Tianyi Mountain had no ability to fight back at all. The Huandou people destroyed military garrisons everywhere in the city, and our army suffered heavy losses. Halfway through the battle, Ranshengqiu himself took the initiative to ask Ying to protect the palace of the monarch's mother, and Lord Shoufu agreed to her request without knowing what was going on. She led her troops to the palace, defeated the guards, broke into the palace, and kidnapped His Majesty. Later, Lord Shoufu and Lord General were also captured by the Huandou people. ’

After hearing this, Burning Mutan was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. He asked sharply, "How can the officers and soldiers of Quyunling be in Tianyi City?"

"Ran Shang Qi said: 'Half a month ago, on the day when the Huandou people attacked, Ran Shang Qiu led the troops to rescue him, and he has been stationed in Tianyi City since then. ’

When Ranshang Mutan heard this, he stomped his foot and said angrily: "Oh! You are all pig brains, Quyunling is thousands of miles away, how can you arrive so quickly." I was at the border gate, and I only got the news five days after the accident, and I came non-stop after that, and I didn't arrive until this morning. Although Quyunling is closer than me, it is impossible to arrive without more than ten days. She came here that day, definitely not to save the driver, she must have other plans. Burning Tho, Burning Tho, you are really smart, confused for a while. ’

"People say that General Mutan is a rough man, but he seems to be a thoughtful man. ’

"Burning Clothes Mu Tan looked sideways at Burning Clothes and said, "Don't say anything about sycophants, now you have to think about how to rescue Your Majesty." But I don't know where they took the king's mother. ’

"I have sent people around in the morning to investigate, and the forests around are full of my drought, Huandou people, and rebels, and there will certainly be people who will find out. The general will go inside and rest and wait. As soon as there is reliable information, we will send troops to the rescue. As he spoke, he pointed to the palace.

"Burning Clothes Mutan said, 'Although the monarch is captured, you and I cannot enter and leave the palace at will. ’

After saying that, he ordered people to guard the palace tightly, and no one was allowed to enter.

"The old man standing by the side spoke: 'Then invite the two generals and their son-in-law to the house for a cup of tea.' General Mutan hurried overnight, so he still had to rest before making plans. ’

"Burning Clothes Mutan stepped forward and took the old man's hand and said, 'Then there will be Lao Pregnant Fruit. As he spoke, he walked towards the old man's door, and Ran Yiqi and I followed behind and entered the old man's house.

In the tea room, the officers and soldiers left behind in the mountains came to the gate of the palace one after another, and asked for the life of Burning Mu Tan one by one, saying that they were willing to listen to General Mu Tan's unified command and plan to rescue the monarch's mother.

"At noon, the people who went out to inquire had not yet returned, and everyone waited anxiously.

"Ranshang Mutan suddenly stood up and said, 'Come on, go and find out some more people, and you must find me the whereabouts of the monarch before it gets dark.' ’

"Someone outside the door took the order.

"At this time, the old man who was busy pouring tea and serving food for everyone spoke: 'General Mutan, the old woman is too talkative, and I don't know whether to say something or not. ’

"Ransheng Mutan said, 'Old mamma, if you have something to say, please speak. Most of us, except for your son-in-law, have been brought to the world by you, and we have nothing to say. ’

"The old man said: 'Now that the monarch, the princess, and several adults are in the hands of the Huandou people, even if they know the location of the Huandou people, if they rashly send troops to crusade, I am really afraid that they will jump over the wall in a hurry, and they will do crazy things. ’

"Ranshang Mutan said: 'The old lady is very right, and I have been thinking about this for a long time, but there is no good way. ’

"The old man sighed: 'From ancient times to the present, our clan has turned to the Wa royal family for help. The Wa royal family has something to do, and our clan has always been doing its best to help. Since more than ten years ago, the princess was taken away, and the two clans have a disagreement. Otherwise, at this time, please ask the Wa royal family to help, mediate, and find out the purpose of the Huandou attack, and we promise that we will be able to save the captives. ’

"Hearing this, I faintly felt in my heart that as a member of the Wa royal family, I should do something for this.

"I stood up and said, 'In this case, I will go back to the Wa royal family and ask the first Ximu to help me in this matter.' General Mutan, before I return, we must not rush to send troops to forcibly take people. ’

"The old man said, 'My son-in-law has fallen out with Ximu Kuijia for the princess, can I get a result this time? ’

"I said, 'How do you know if it doesn't work out if you don't try it?' ’

"Ransheng Mutan stood up and saluted me and said, 'Then this time it is all up to the son-in-law to solve this crisis for my clan, whether there is a result or not, please come back quickly and tell me, and we will make another plan.' ’

"After saying that, he shouted outside the door: 'Prepare a good horse for your son-in-law and send it to the bottom of the mountain.' ’

I bowed to the people sitting in the middle of the seat, turned and walked out. ”
