Chapter 47 Preparation for War

The reason why the dressing building is called the dressing building is because there is an attic on the stone mountain called the dressing building. It is said that this attic was built during the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. When the Emperor of Zhou passed by here, the emperor's princess washed here.

Later, as time went by, this place was named after the dressing room.

Wan Jun climbed up to Stone Mountain. The grass on the mountain covered a thousand-year-old building. Facing the flowing water at the bottom of the mountain that had not changed for thousands of years, Wan Jun couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If it were in modern times, such beautiful scenery would definitely be a good place to travel.

Wan Jun asked the stationed Chinese troops, "Are you stationed here? Are there any tiger dangers? Are there any threats from bandits in the nearby mountains?"

The captain pointed to a large mountain road in the southeast, "Sir, please look at this mountain. The locals call this mountain Tiger Mountain. It looks like a sitting tiger. The common people call it the two major tiger troubles in the dressing building. One is the tiger that haunts this area.

And there are the bandits on Tiger Mountain!"

Wan Jun asked, "How many bandits are there on Tiger Mountain? How many bandits are there around here?"

The captain said, "There are not many thieves on Tiger Mountain. It's all because of the dangerous terrain and no one can control it. From here to the south, there are mountains and rivers, all the way to Yunyang Mansion in Huguang. The road is difficult to travel. In these years of war, many people have taken refuge.

In the mountains, there are bandits' villages in the south, and there are also native villages where common people and clans gather. However, these days, there is a lack of food and clothing, and the people sometimes plunder, and the distinction between bandits and ordinary people is not very clear."

Wan Jun nodded and remained silent. The problem was more complicated than imagined. Wan Jun wanted to manage the vast mountainous area south to Yunyang Prefecture, but now the Chinese Army did not have such great energy.

If left alone, the chaotic security situation in the south will also distract the energy of the Chinese army, and it would be a complete waste to not utilize such a large resource.

Wan Jun thought about it again and again, but now time, money and manpower are all problems. There is no way yet, so Wan Jun can only give up.

Wan Jun and others rested in Shicheng for a night. The next day, they found a local man and led everyone along the river to the southeast for an hour before reaching a fork in the road.

The guide said, "An hour's walk eastward along the mountains and rivers will lead you to Jingziguan, where the three provinces meet. There is an inn there called the 'Three Provinces Inn'. It is said that you can travel to three provinces with one foot. It is a place where you don't care about three things.

It just became a place where heroes from all walks of life fled."

Wan Jun pointed to a trail heading north, "Where does this lead to?"

The person who led the way said, "Follow this path to the north and you can reach Fushui Pass in about two or three hours."

Everyone took a rest at the fork in the road, and Wan Jun said, "Jingzi Pass is an important pass into Xichuan, let's go there and have a look!"

Not long after everyone headed east, some houses began to appear on both sides of the road. From time to time, some villagers could be seen sitting on the ground outside the door with blank eyes. They did not run away when they saw Wan Jun and others. Those who had a little energy would

In a weak voice, he yelled hoarsely, "Uncle, are you from the north? Give it to me for stuttering!"

Wan Jun watched as a thin child fell to the ground, and a woman sat on the side. She was so thin that she had no human form, and her face and eyes were full of numbness.

When Wan Jun and others were about to pass by, the woman suddenly shouted to Wan Jun and others, "Are you coming from the north? I heard Master Zheng said that the adults from the north are coming to deliver food. Why hasn't he come earlier?"

Then my son will not die."

Wan Jun and others walked out a few meters away, and the woman was still shouting, "Have you seen the master from the north? Why hasn't he come yet?"

Wan Jun suddenly understood that these people were sitting outside the door and did not run away when they saw them. It turned out that they were waiting for life-saving food from the Huaxia Army.

!

Prosperity, people suffer!

Death, people suffer!

The heroic dream of eternal greatness has turned many people into withered bones.

Wanjun had never seen such a tragic scene before, and he was very sad in his heart. He only hoped that the third regiment could start quickly and kick the horse's belly forward.

From here, after more than half an hour, Wan Jun and others saw from a distance a large house in an open space by the river at the intersection of mountains and rivers.

As we got closer, we could see a large house in front of a large house. Compared to the other shabby shacks, it looked very tall and grand, with a flag flying high in front of the door.

Wan Jun could see clearly that this flag was entirely red with black dragon patterns surrounding five yellow stars. It was the flag of the Chinese Army!

The guide who led the way led Wan Jun and others towards the flag. When they arrived in front of the flag, the guide pointed to the house facing the flag and said, "Sir, this is the 'Three Provinces Inn'. If you want to say anything later, let me know.

Speaking of which, be careful not to collide with any of the gods."

Everyone tied up their horses in front of the door and walked into the inn. A lean waiter came up to them and asked, "Where are you guys from?"

The guide took a step forward, pointed at Wan Jun and said, "This uncle of mine is from the north!"

"North?"

Several men sitting in the inn stopped and looked at Wan Jun and others.

The waiter asked, "Where in the north are you from?"

The guide thought to himself that it was too bad. People on the road were most taboo about asking about household registration. They usually wouldn't ask after giving directions. If you asked so carefully, you were being targeted. This was similar to the old lady who was greeting you.

The guide was worried about Wan Jun and others behind him, and was wondering whether to pretend to be people on the road, so he got angry at the waiter.

The waiter said, "Guest, please don't misunderstand me. My shopkeeper specifically told me to pay attention to the guests coming from the north. If they come from Lucheng County, I must treat them well!"

The guide asked curiously, "Why is this?"

The waiter sighed, "Our Xichuan has suffered a big disaster this year. The people are almost starving to death. No one cares about the people of our Xichuan. A few days ago, our Xichuan parents, Mr. Zheng, went to the north to ask for food. When he came back, he passed by here.

The boss said that Mr. Wan from Lucheng County in the north mobilized the whole county to send some relief food to Xichuan. My master respects such a man, so he specially asked not to contradict the brothers from Lucheng County!"

The guard following Wan Jun heard this and looked at Wan Jun. When he saw Wan Jun nodded, he took a step forward and said to everyone, "To be honest, this is Mr. Wan from Lucheng County!"

There was a crash, and everyone who was resting in the inn stood up. The waiter asked, "Is this Mr. Wan that Magistrate Zheng mentioned?"

The guard nodded and said, "It's Mr. Wan from my family!"

After hearing this, the waiter said to wait a moment and hurried to the back hall.

After hearing this, a big man next to him took a step closer and said, "I am a tiger walking in the rivers and lakes of Xichuan, and I admire Yi Bo Yuntian the most. Mr. Wan can devote all the efforts of the county to rescue me, Xichuan. He is truly loyal and courageous. I

I am willing to ride the horse for you and be driven by you, and I will not hesitate to break my body to pieces!"

Three more men in green clothes came over, "The three of us are from Yunyang. We often walk in the west of Hubei and Henan. We are known as the 'Three Jiaos'. We also admire heroes the most. You are a hero, and the three of us are willing to serve you!"

Before Wan Jun could say anything, several more people gathered around him. They were all heroes who were willing to serve Wan Jun.

At this time, the waiter led a big man out of the back hall quickly.

I saw this big man with a broad face and almond-shaped eyes. He was very happy to see Wan Jun and asked, "But Mr. Wan, the savior of Xichuan County?"

Wan Jun saw that this person seemed very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before, so he quickly said, "I don't dare to take the position of shopkeeper. Wan doesn't dare to take the position of shopkeeper. Whether it's Xichuan or Lucheng, they are all Chinese people.

You are Chinese children, how can you ignore death? I see that you look familiar, but I don’t know what you call brother?"

The big man said, "What a Chinese citizen, what a Chinese son and daughter. If the imperial court thought so, how could the world have reached this point? I am Chen Bajiao, the owner of this inn. The magistrate spent the night here a few days ago.

I heard that I admire you very much for your actions in Lucheng County, and I specifically asked you to treat guests from Lucheng County well. I didn’t expect to meet you in person, what a blessing it is for Chen!”

Wan Jun smiled and said, "Brother Chen is ridiculous. It is only human nature for me to save the people of Xichuan County. Mr. Zheng, the magistrate of Xichuan County, worked hard for Xichuan County and prayed everywhere. He is really a good official who prays for the people."

!”

Chen Bajiao smiled and said, "Good officials, good officials, you are all good officials! It's getting late today, please don't mind it, just stay here and rest for the night!"

With a radius of dozens of miles, this inn is the only one that can be accommodated. Wan Jun said, "Then I would rather obey your orders than respect you."

Chen Bajiao laughed loudly and said, "Master Wan is indeed a hero. I, Chen, admire him very much."

After that, he gave the waiter a few words and asked him to clean up his bedroom so that Wan Jun could rest.

After hearing this, Wan Jun quickly refused, "It would be fine if the few of us have a guest room to live in. How can I make you go to such trouble?"

Chen Bajiao dismissed the waiter and smiled at Wan Jun, "It's no trouble, it's no trouble. Please don't refuse me anymore. The guest room is too simple and unsuitable for a hero like Master Wan to live in."

With that said, Chen Bajiao invited Wan Jun and others into the back hall. As he walked, he said, "I have three brothers in the Chen family. I have admired the heroes of ancient times since I was a child and wanted to be a hero. My eldest brother believes that heroes must serve the country.

In order to fight, he joined the Ming Dynasty and served on the front line. He died in Liaodong a few years ago."

"My third brother thinks that heroes are brave and fierce. Later, they fought and killed people and ran away for several years. I don't know where they went."

"I think a hero is one who travels around the world, and brothers from all walks of life can earn three points of face, so I opened this inn here to help heroes in the world. I thought I was a hero. Now that I have met you, I understand,

Only adults who save all people from fire and water like this can be a true hero!"

Wan Jun was applauded by these words and quickly waved his hands, "I don't dare to take what Brother Chen said!"

I saw Chen Bajiao's eyes widened, and he took Wan Jun's hand and said, "I am willing to give all my property to your lord. In addition, I have brothers No. 100 who are somewhat weak in the boundaries of these three provinces. I am willing to raise my flag to serve your lord."

, for adults to drive!”

In ancient times, people often destroyed their families to save themselves from trouble. Today, Wan Jun actually met such a generous man. He was very impressed and said, "Brother Chen, please don't. The family fortune has been accumulated for decades. You have to think about your wife and children at home!"

Chen Bajiao said calmly, "Don't worry, sir, my wife and children are nothing. When I get back, I will kill my third wife and concubine, and take my son and brothers to swear allegiance to you!"

In ancient times, there were many heroes who killed their wives to express their ambitions, destroyed their families and swore allegiance. Ten thousand soldiers felt a chill when they heard this, and most of their hearts were moved.
