Qiao Sanxiu lost seven people in a row and was a little exhausted. Shen Jianghu was embarrassed to continue to take advantage, but there were still several of his men who were not in the battle. They looked eager to try. Qiao Sanxiu didn't want to spoil the fun, so he said he could fight again. , but was stopped by Wu Zhong, and then jumped into the arena: "Winning on wheels, you can win without force, come on, I'll take the lead." But he was disliked by everyone, they all know how good he is, who has lost his mind and wants to abuse him.
"Then let the Taoist master teach you all the magic skills." Li Muxian was provoked and stepped forward to challenge. Everyone was surprised. Could it be that this arrogant Niubi is still an expert?
Soon they knew that this naughty guy was not only a practicing master, but also a ruthless one. His attacks were ruthless and cunning, which made his opponents angry and yelled at him for his insidiousness. Chang Yu shook his head. Li Muchian could never compare to Wuzhong in this aspect. If there is a fight in the arena, the winner will be the king. No matter what dirty tricks you use, it is understandable. But in this kind of exchange of ideas, you use these dirty tricks, and your attacks are vicious... It is difficult not to attract evil. Looking at Wu Zhong and Qiao Sanxiu, then It's all about hard work and fair victory, and it's done right.
Fortunately, Wu Zhong and Qiao Sanxiu came forward to mediate in time, and the anger of Shen Jianghu and the others was calmed down a little. Plus Chang Yu was on the side, so they didn't cause a big mess, otherwise they would really have beaten Li Muxian.
"Thank you for joining the Taoist sect and cultivating Taoism. I really wonder how you survived after so many years in the world." Chang Yu couldn't say anything to Li Muxian. He smiled bitterly and shook his head. Li Muxian disagreed: "Being alive is a skill, right?"
Chang Yu was speechless.
After washing up and having breakfast, Chang Yu asked Shen Jianghu to send someone to Jinzhou to spread the message, and then left the General Military Mansion and walked around Ningyuan City. Although it is a border town, many people have settled here. Most of them were family members of border soldiers at first. After generations of reproduction and migration of people, it has become a city with a scale of tens of thousands.
It was almost noon after a wandering day. Although the weather outside the pass was cooler than inside the pass, it was still hot and hot in summer. Chang Yu originally wanted to go back to the General Military Mansion to rest, but Li Muchian proposed to go to Xishan for a visit. He said that the factory supervisor had fought hard in the mountains. , why not revisit the old place.
Chang Yu was moved and led the crowd there. Shen Jianghu accompanied him, and a group of more than a hundred people headed west in a mighty way.
The commander's platform is still there, still dilapidated, and the bullet marks on it show the intensity of the battle at that time. For a moment, Chang Yu seemed to be back to the scene where thousands of troops and horses were fighting with heavy artillery fire.
Not far from Dianjiangtai is the Mountain Temple at the foot of the mountain. It is a small, low-rise house and some people call it the Earth Temple. But no matter what kind of temple it is, it is very dilapidated, but it really seems to have magical power to protect the body. At first The melee was so fierce, with the artillery formations of the two armies firing at each other up and down the mountain, but this small ruined temple was unscathed!
After hearing what he said, Li Muchian quickly dismounted and knelt down three times and nine times in front of the Earth Temple. Chang Yu asked curiously: "Is this mountain god also from your Taoist family?"
"All the gods and Buddhas are of the same family, so why should they be separated from each other?"
Ouch, what he said was so good. Chang Yu wanted to ridicule him, but unexpectedly found that Qiao Sanxiu, Wu Zhong and others also went to worship him, and then Shen Jianghu and others also went to worship him, and he was speechless.
Well, I don’t believe in this stuff myself, but I don’t force them to not believe it. After all, the theory of gods and ghosts is the mainstream in this era, and soldiers especially believe in this stuff, and they can survive unscathed in artillery fire. Even if they don’t believe it, they won’t believe it.
As winter turned to summer, the mountains were covered with lush vegetation, thorns, and rocks. It was even more difficult to enter the goat trail. Everyone could not dismount, so a few guards held knives in front of them to clear the way.
"Look at this scene, very few people enter the mountain." Chang Yu looked around and sighed slightly.
Shen Jianghu hummed: "So many people died in that war, and the people were timid and did not dare to enter the mountains at will. It is said that many strange things happened..."
Chang Yu disagreed in his heart, but he also sighed repeatedly: "Look at the lush vegetation, do you know why?" Everyone knew what he wanted to say, but they didn't dare to talk to him. They even shivered on a hot day and always felt that the surroundings were eerie. .
"Too many people died." Chang Yu couldn't help but sigh. When he led his troops to hide in the mountains, the Qing army wanted to enter the mountains to clean up. There were fierce battles with swords and swords, and both sides suffered heavy casualties. After the war, many of the battlefields were cleared and buried on the spot. .
"The poor Taoist will perform a religious ceremony later to save the soldiers." Li Muxian looked around and said in a deep voice. Everyone praised him, even Wuzhong didn't choke him.
Many traces in the mountains have been covered up by branches and leaves of vines and grasses, but you will still find arrow clusters in the grass or on tree trunks and craters on the cliffs.
The spring water in Moshi Valley is abundant, and everyone washes and rests here. Chang Yu points to various places and recalls what happened at that time, and everyone listens attentively.
"Look at the hidden entrance of the cave. It's hard to find it unless you look carefully or even if you're around." Chang Yu pointed to a forest halfway up the mountain: "The governor hid in the cave at the beginning. Even though it's winter, it's very warm inside."
"How did you discover such a secret place?" Qiao Sanxiu asked curiously. He looked for a long time and found no trace.
"The leaves are lush in summer, and it is difficult to find traces. It was the severe winter, and the vegetation was withered. It was so secretive that it was discovered by the soldiers who were climbing..." Chang Yu eloquently recounted the scene at that time. Everyone listened intently and exclaimed from time to time. Voice.
Shen Jianghu and others were also filled with emotion. They also participated in the war at that time, but they defended in the city and relied on the small eunuch's few manpower to deal with the Qing army. It was not easy to implement. Only then did they realize how difficult and dangerous it was. I admire the little eunuch.
In the past few years, outsiders all said that Wu Sangui's Ningyuan soldiers were responsible for a great victory, but they knew in their hearts that the young eunuchs were the ones carrying the banner and charging into the battle, they were just shouting slogans.
A group of people drilled holes in the mountains to climb high, hunted and barbecued, walking along the same path as before, recalling the war and iron horses of those years. Unknowingly, it was already evening and they hurried down the mountain. By the time they returned to the city, it was already dusk.
There has been no news from people going to Jinzhou. After all, the two places are more than a hundred miles apart. It takes a lot of effort to go back and forth. However, Chang Yu was not in a hurry. After a short rest, he went to the military camp after eating and drinking. Shen Jianghu Accompany you throughout the process.
It was not until noon the next day that the fast horse to Jinzhou reported back, and Dorgon proposed to exchange hostages at Tashan Fort two days later.
So fast! Chang Yu expected that he would have to wait at least five days. It seemed that Dorgon was really anxious. He must have sent people to Shenyang to pay tribute to Zu Dashou and others before he arrived in Jinzhou.
"The area within twenty miles around Tashan should be clearly inspected by this inspector. In two days, you will send five thousand troops to accompany me." Chang Yu immediately ordered Shen Jianghu to start making arrangements.
Shen Jianghu took the order and left. Then the Ningyuan city gate opened wide, and several groups of scouts and nearly a hundred people headed north.
