Chapter 19: Changes (4)

The White Emperor City is located on the north bank of the Yangtze River, one side is against the mountain, three sides are surrounded by water, the back is against the high gorge, the front is close to the Yangtze River, and the mouth of the Qutang Gorge is choked, the terrain is dangerous, difficult to attack and easy to defend. Legend has it that in the past, when Gongsun Shu seized Yizhou, he used the dangerous terrain as a reason to build a city and open a mountain, expand the city barrier, and garrison troops to strictly defend it. Later, Gongsun Shu heard that there was a white crane well in the city, and a white mist often came out of the well, and its shape was like a dragon, which went straight to the nine nights. Gongsun recounted the mystery and said that this was "the white dragon out of the well", which was a sign that he would inevitably ascend the throne in the future. So, he took advantage of the time when the world's heroes had no time to take care of himself, and the city he built was named "White Emperor City", and this mountain was also renamed "White Emperor Mountain".

It was only later that Gongsun Shu and Liu Xiu fought for the world and were destroyed by Liu Xiu, and the White Emperor City was also reduced to ashes in the war.

However, although Gongsun Shu died and the country was destroyed, but after all, during the period when Gongsun Shu was called emperor, wars were frequent in various places, but the area around the White Emperor City was relatively peaceful, and the local people in order to commemorate Gongsun Shu, specially built the "White Emperor Temple" in the White Emperor City, and the statue was enshrined.

During the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei's soldiers were defeated and retreated to the White Emperor City, and he had no face to meet the ministers, so he built Yong'an Palace in the White Emperor City to live in peace, and soon died of depression, before his death, Liu Bei entrusted the power and his son Liu Chan to the prime minister Zhuge Liang, known as "Liu Bei Tuogu" in history. Later, Zhuge Liang and Liu Chan returned to Chengdu, leaving Li Yan to lead the army to defend the White Emperor City, which became a fortress to defend Eastern Wu and guard the gateway to Sichuan. In the forty years since then, the White Emperor City has only more than 10,000 people, and it has firmly guarded the eastern gateway of Sichuan, so that Dongwu will not be able to cross the thunder pool for many years. When Shu Han fell, Luo Xian relied on 2,000 men and horses, relying on geographical advantages, to block the 100,000 army led by Lu Kang, a famous general of Eastern Wu!

Now, the defender of White Emperor City is Fu Ming, Fu Jian's nephew, Fu Bao gave him 3,000 men and horses to garrison White Emperor City.

Actually, this job is very easy. The White Emperor City was originally a high-rise building, with a wide field of vision and a dangerous terrain. It's almost impossible to knock it down. Although Fu Ming doesn't have a good reputation, he has had a good relationship with Fu Shu and Fu Bao since he was a child, he is a side line, and he doesn't have any thoughts about the big position at all. It's just that since Fu Bao is willing to cultivate him, of course he is grateful to Dade.

In addition, this White Emperor City is actually very easy to guard, just need to patrol the city every day. In case an enemy comes to attack, it is actually very simple, as soon as the city gate is closed and the soldiers enter the city, there is almost nothing the enemy can do. After all, the terrain is too favorable.

Today, as usual, after finishing his day's work, Fu Ming went to the city's famous welcome wine shop for a drink or two. He is young and has no family, but he doesn't have any hobbies, except for a little wine.

Anyway, he came here just to relax his mood. Because during the day, he worked too seriously and meticulously, lest there be a little mistake, then he would be sorry for the cultivation of Fu Shu and Fu Bao.

"Boss!" Fu Ming strode forward and said loudly.

"Yo, General, you're here today, hehehehe." The boss was five short stature, but he greeted him with a smile on his face, "General, it's still the same today?"

"Yes, the same old way!" Fu Ming waved his hand.

"Then the general, please!"

As usual, Fu Ming drank wine by himself and ate the side dishes here. I have been coming to this White Emperor City for more than a month, every day to this wine shop, the owner of the wine shop here is very enthusiastic, the wine and food here are also good, more importantly, sitting in the private room, you can look at the rolling Yangtze River outside the window, listen to the faint sound of the waves, can make your own restless heart, quickly calm down.

It's just that today, Fu Ming seems to feel that the wine in this cup seems to be more mellow than in the past, and when he breathes down his throat, he feels a clear feeling, all the way down his throat, and he is very comfortable.

It's weird. Fu Ming just felt that not only was his body soft, but he even felt a little numb, and his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and the scene in front of him began to rotate.

No, not here! Furina tried to stand up, but at this moment, Furina suddenly felt a darkness in front of him and fell down.

And the moment he fell, he saw the boss with a smirk on his face, walking towards him......

"Boss, is this name killed or what?"

"Nope." The boss smiled, "The boss said, this name must be kept, we still have to use it." ”

"Well, too, so let's do it now?"

"That's right, Xiao Qin, let's go light the fire."

"Yes!"

On the third watch, on the top of the mountain in the north of the city, a fire suddenly ignited.

Very, the fire is getting bigger and bigger, and the fire is so bright that it lights up almost the entire night sky!

And at this time, not many people paid attention to the indestructible city wall of the White Emperor City, there were countless black shadows, climbing up along the city wall, they were not climbing fast, and their whole body was tense, obviously very laborious. But they still stubbornly climbed upwards and did not give up at all.

As for the soldiers at the head of the city, except for a few people patrolling at this time, most of them actually leaned against the battlements to sleep.

This can't be blamed on them, Fu Ming has long been in charge, the city implements a shift system, when there is no enemy situation, most of the people have to recuperate, to ensure combat effectiveness, and a small number of people are responsible for patrolling and monitoring the enemy's situation. They just do what they are told.

After all, if you want the whole army to patrol here all the time, that's not appropriate, and few people can stand it, so Fu Ming's doing this at that time was also widely supported.

The little soldier Xu Jia saw the fire on the mountain in the north, so he said curiously: "My mother, what's wrong, why is there such a big fire?"

Shi Chang Song Yi came over at this time, and saw that Xu Jia and the others were stretching their necks, looking at the fire in the north of the city, and said: "Okay, okay, it's not just a wildfire on the mountain, don't look at it, let me patrol."

"Yes." Everyone didn't dare to disobey, but before they could move, Xu Jia, who was at the front, suddenly screamed in horror.

Song Yi usually hates people yelling and screaming, compared to people in his own high position, Song Yi has no choice but to slander, but for people like Xu Jia, he can completely repair him.

"Are you wailing!? What is it called?" Song Yi stepped forward angrily, he had already thought about it, this time he must be severely scolded with dozens of military sticks, such an act is really hateful. If you don't do this, you can't stand up!

However, Song Yi found that Xu Jia was not trembling as he imagined, or kneeling to plead, almost ignoring his words.

Song Yi was even more angry, could it be that this guy looked down on himself? was about to have a seizure, but as soon as Song walked to the front and looked, he was dumbfounded. ~
