While Zhong E was arranging for someone to catch the traitor, Yun Zheng was talking to Han Lin, Lang Lige and Sun Qizhi.
"The Xixia people finally found out about us. They didn't hide anything and focused on rectifying the country. They invested their limited energy in us. We were lucky to succeed this time. The trauma caused to Xixia was very serious. They want to recover.
It is impossible for the Song Dynasty and the Khitans to attack in less than ten years. I think the Xixia people may even be subjugated.
No matter what the country does, what we have to do is to keep our achievements. These horses are ours and will not be given to anyone except to buy them. The bandits in Kongtong Mountain already know the existence of these horses and will almost certainly come to rob them.
I don't want to hand it all over to the officials, so we have very few resources at our disposal. We can't get through Qingyang Mansion. The Xixia people will definitely come and rob us. We can only go through Yizhou. King Gaitian of Kongtong Mountain cannot be avoided.
, so I beg the three of you to help me find out more information about Kongtong Mountain so that I can make a reasonable judgment."
Han Lin's eyes gleamed as he opened and closed his eyes. It could be seen that this guy was extremely angry. Now that these war horses have arrived in the Song Dynasty, they belong to the Song Dynasty. Even if the meat is rotten, it will rot in the pot and cannot escape.
The officials of Song Dynasty really went too far.
"The Lao Dao's memorial has been rushed for eight hundred miles. The officials will know about this matter soon. The civil servants of the Song Dynasty have always been strong. In order to reduce accidents, we really need to leave the border quickly and enter the inland as soon as possible.
The Secret Intelligence Department still has some strength in Hedong, and there are still a few people that the old man can mobilize. Don't worry, I will set off right now."
Sun Qizhi nodded and said: "King Gaitian is a legend. No one has ever seen him. I have a broad eyelid in Longzhong. I know most of the heroes in the mountains and mountains, but I have never seen King Gaitian. We
The three people who can help you are all from their own family. Leave now. You have to be careful yourself, God knows who King Gaitian is."
Lang Lige patted Yun Zheng's arm to comfort Yun Zheng who was not in a good mood, and followed Han Lin and Sun Qizhi out to make preparations. If he could start a day earlier, he would have a better chance of winning.
Watching Han Lin and the other three ride away, Yun Zheng hit his head with his fist. What he disliked most was seeing people close to him take risks for some unavoidable and ridiculous things. Wouldn't it be nice for a large group of people to live happily?
?
I don't do Yue Fei, but I don't do Qin Hui either. I want to hold it in my hand and knead it as dough. Just dream. I'm just a copper pea with a clang. I can't cook it or smash it. Let's see if you can
What can I do?
The bandits in Kongtong Mountain really pissed me off, so we broke up and I killed all the horses and didn’t even leave a single one for you...
Yun Zheng looked ferocious and asked Liang Ji and Peng Jiu to start making gunpowder and armor-piercing cones from now on. The weight of the gunpowder package was increased. Even if it couldn't blow you up in the cave, it would still shock you to death.
Wei Ming was a little unhappy when he saw that the entire Jiazi Camp became tense again. He stared at Yunzheng sadly with his deer-like eyes, thinking that he was going to deal with Xixia again. Although she escaped, she didn't want to see the Xixia people.
When hurt, I just want to bury my head in the soil and be a happy silly ostrich for the rest of my life.
"It's not to deal with Xixia, it's because there are bandits who want to steal our horses. I'm going to break all the bones of these damn thieves so that they won't be able to steal other people's things for the rest of their lives." Yun Zheng couldn't bear it, but he still whispered to enlighten him.
Wei Ming, this child seems to be growing in reverse now. The feelings of a little girl that have never appeared in her life are now bursting out. She has left the harsh environment. Perhaps this is her nature, kind and timid.
"Thieves' bones? Rob us?" Wei Ming became excited instantly. He had never seen a robber or a thief's bones before.
"They can't beat you. You are so powerful. By the way, will you turn around and rob them?" Wei Ming was very excited.
"That's natural. Since they like to rob, they have to be prepared to be robbed." Yun Zheng coughed and replied, and then he realized that this little girl still had the blood of being a robber in her bones.
The closed Qingjian City is a closed cage. When the city was first built, it was planned to be an isolated city that could be defended on all sides. Once the Xixia cavalry broke through Chailongkou, the city must be able to hold on alone for more than half a year, forcing
The Xixia cavalry could not continue to advance in depth without advancing from the rear.
So when Zhonge closed the south gate and east gate behind him, he began to search for those traitors. With such a city, it became very easy. Yun Zheng did not expect that there were hundreds of traitors of King Gaitian in Qingjian City. He found this
As a matter of fact, the clothes on my back were never dry in the cold weather.
As a guard general, he knew very well that if at the height of the fight between him and the Xixia people, there were hundreds of people behind him causing trouble, the consequences would be enough for the Zhong family to have their homes confiscated and charged.
Beheading, this is the last thing you, a wild-hearted yet gentle-looking person, can do.
Yun Zheng hopes to behead him after he asks. He knows nothing about Kongtong Mountain. If he wants to know the details there, he must learn it from the mouths of these hundreds of people. Wait until he gets the confessions of these people.
, Yun Zheng believed that there was nothing mysterious about Kongtong Mountain to him, and the broken messages were combined to form a complete message.
Zhong'e saw Yun Zheng interrogating the prisoners one by one and personally recording every word the prisoners said. He watched on the side. Yun Zheng even took care of how they ate, drank, and went to the toilet in Kongtong Mountain.
Pass.
This was an extremely complicated job. Yun Zheng didn't have a good night's sleep for two whole days. After questioning the traitors, Yun Zheng hid in the study for three days before coming out. He held a thick stack of paper in his hand and placed it on the ground.
E said in front of his eyes: "This should be everything about Kongtong Mountain. It may not be perfect yet. I will continue to improve this information on the road, but it should be enough for you to use it to arrange tactics. This is your field. I
I can’t participate. I’m going to take a nap, and when I wake up, the cavalry team will set off.”
After Yun Zheng finished speaking, he went to bed. Zhong Ce carefully studied the papers in front of him. It was indeed as Yun Zheng said. For the first time, he had a complete understanding of Kongtong Mountain. Among these more than a hundred people, at most they were just
Everyone on the periphery of the bandits' den in Kongtong Mountain only knew bits and pieces of information, but after Yun Zheng sorted it out, the whole context became very clear.
Riyue Gorge, Yuxian Peak, Qixin Peak, Qianzhangyan, Hydrangea Peak, Penghuayan, Guiyun Cave, Huanglongquan, Danti Cliff, Huanglong Cave, these names were summarized and appeared on a simple map
.
Zhong E compared this map with the ancient map left long ago and found that many locations were exactly the same.
There is a huge boulder across both banks of the Jing River. Every time the river is blocked by the boulder, it sprays beads and jade, and the scenery is spectacular. This is the Juxian Bridge.
The east peak of Kongtong Mountain is adjacent to the ancient road. Rouge Water and Baijing River meet in front of the mountain. The peak stands abruptly and majesticly. Standing on the peak, you can have a panoramic view of the Jing River and Yizhou City. It is said that the Yellow Emperor asked Guangchengzi about the clouds and mist on the mountain.
It is covered with nothingness and mist, and the ministers built a base of soil in front of the mountain to look at each other, so it is called Wangjia Mountain.
These two places are battlegrounds for military strategists. They closely guard the ancient road. If Yunzheng's cavalry wants to pass through Kongtong Mountain, the greatest danger comes from here.
On the cliff at the north peak of Wangjia Mountain, the overhanging wall is very dangerous and inaccessible. It is said that Guangchengzi lived in a cave and practiced acupoints and practiced Taoism. Yun Zheng noted with a cinnabar pen here that this was probably the hiding place of King Gaitian.
Zhong E kept spinning around on the ground. After the situation became clear, he realized how serious the matter was. No wonder Deshun's army failed in several attacks. The mountain roads were rugged, the mountains were steep, and the scenery was beautiful, but it was often also a place with poor mountains and bad water.
source.
Apart from luring the enemy out in force and annihilating them in the Jinghe River Valley, Zhonge could hardly see any possibility of success. Seeing the note written by Yun Zheng below, Zhonge felt a sense of disgust in his chest.
His blood surged, his face turned red and he ordered all the traitors to be beheaded on the spot. Anyone who had the slightest connection with King Gaitian would be beheaded.
He rarely kills people on a large scale, especially against Song people, but after seeing Yun Zheng's explanation, he discovered that it was indeed a devil's cave, another world, a world that was incompatible with the Song Dynasty. Such a devil's cave should be eradicated as soon as possible.
This is the best policy. If it is allowed to develop freely, it will definitely cause a big disaster.
Huangdi Xuanyuan, who is revered as the ancestor of humanities by the Chinese nation, personally climbed Mount Kongtong and asked the wise man Guangchengzi for advice on how to govern the country and maintain health. Huangdi asked. This ancient event is recorded in classics such as "Zhuangzi. Zaiyou" and "Historical Records".
It is recorded in Chinese history; Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han imitated the Yellow Emperor and climbed to Kongtong in the West because they "admired the affairs of the Yellow Emperor" and "loved the gods"; Sima Qian, Wang Fu, Du Fu, Bai Juyi and other literati also left a large number of poems and chapters.
, tablets, inscriptions. Kongtong martial arts and Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, Kunlun and other martial arts schools are famous in China.
This is a place where humanities gather together, and it is also a place where martial arts flourish. When dragons and tigers work together, Kunpeng will appear soaring to the sky. Zhonge will never allow such a place to appear under his rule. This will have a negative impact on his jurisdiction.
Entitlement is simply a great humiliation.
Finally, I saw the weapons listed by Yunzheng. I didn’t know what Yunzheng would use such a heavy weapon like the Eight Bull Crossbow, but Yunzheng said that the most important thing for him was that he didn’t have to worry about having horses to pull the cart.
Sulfur, saltpeter, and crushed charcoal are not in short supply in border towns. The former is a magic weapon for the army to set fire to the camp, and the latter - it only needs to be burned, but I don't understand why it must be switch charcoal or kerosene?
There are not many in the army. It is a defensive weapon and it is not appropriate to give too much. Ten loads is enough. I am not a wealthy Zhang Fangping. I will give fifty shi of kerosene to burn a bandit's den...
The people of Qingjian City have not seen any big storms and waves in these years. Now they feel nervous for the first time when they see the hundreds of heads hanging on the top of the city. That place used to hang the heads of Xixia people, but now they hang their own heads.
People, no matter how you look at them, it makes your heart tremble. (To be continued)
