Chapter 133 'Hidden King' Chen Sheng
Mangdang Mountain, the land spans Yan, Xu, Henan three states, hundreds of miles in a radius, next to Daze, the terrain is dangerous, it is known as 36 days of danger, 72 cliffs, easy to defend and difficult to attack; Since ancient times, it is a place where soldiers must fight, and it is also a treasure land of feng shui, the dragon and the tiger are crouching, the scenery is picturesque, and many emperors and generals have chosen to bury their bones here, as their own auspicious land for ten thousand years!
Similarly, because of the geographical location, it has become a three-way zone, and the people are fierce, often forming a village to defend themselves, and do not obey the king; Because of the war for many years, many displaced people in Shanyang County often fled to the mountains to fall into the grass in order to escape the war.
One of the thirty-six main peaks of Mangdang Mountain, on the Fairy Peak, in a naturally formed large cave, the lights are bright, the voices are boiling, and dozens of bandit leaders within a radius of several hundred miles are gathering together, and they are holding their own 'bandit internal expansion military meeting!' ’
The content of the meeting was also very clear - how to resist the encirclement and suppression of the government!
There is a person sitting on a stone chair at the highest point of the cave, about forty years old, dressed in animal skin, majestic, with a face full of ripples and fierce flesh, and there is no hair on the top of his bare head, he is the leader of the group of thieves in Mangdang Mountain--- Zhu Yidao!
Zhu Yidao is his nickname, as for what his real name is, no one knows, when a thief has a habit, that is, only called a nickname, not a real name, a nickname is more domineering, loud, easy to remember, moreover, being a thief after all is not a glorious thing, in order not to shame the ancestors, and at the same time in order to avoid disaster to their relatives, anyone who goes up the mountain as a thief will take the initiative to give up their original name.
This can be regarded as an unspoken rule of the industry!
Zhu Yidao was originally a butcher, because of his superb skills, whether it is killing pigs or slaughtering sheep, he has always used only one knife, so he has such a nickname, and then the world is in chaos, the people are not happy, and the life of the butcher is not easy, there are really no pigs and sheep to slaughter, Zhu Yidao simply carried his sharp butcher knife up the mountain as a thief, and started to buy slaughter.
Facts have proved that the craft of killing pigs is also very powerful in cutting people, just with a good knife technique that is lethal with one hand, and the little shrewdness that he practiced when he set up a stall meat, Zhu Yidao walked smoothly on the road of thieves, and rose all the way, and finally sat on the position of the leader of Mangdang Mountain, commanding thousands of bandits, standing himself as the king, and being at ease!
"Black Bear Mountain, the King of Heaven has arrived in ......"
"Erdaogou, cross the river to ......"
"Little Lone Peak, a cloud to ......"
The little minions at the entrance of the cave kept reporting the names of the thieves from all walks of life, these people usually have their own mountains, and they will come to Zhu Yidao to gather here when there is a big matter to discuss, and everyone is very familiar with finding their own place to sit down, although they are thieves, but thieves also have a way, they also have their own rules, according to the level of strength, the ranking is seated in succession, and there will be no mistakes.
If anyone finds that their position is suddenly robbed by someone else, needless to say, it is someone who wants to challenge your position, at this time either take the initiative to back down, or pull out the sword, in the presence of everyone, have a fair and open gladiatorial fight, the winner sits down, and as for the loser, there is no need for a seat anymore, because the dead will not sit.
"Bottomless pit, yellow squirrel, Huang Qu is handsome~~"
With the shouts of the little minions, a roe deer-headed, thin and withered man walked in, it was a weasel who was a tomb robber; I haven't seen him for a few months, but his complexion has improved a lot, and it seems that he is mixing well in this den of thieves!
"Huang Qu is handsome!"
"Leader Huang is well!"
Seeing the yellow rat come in, many bandit leaders got up to greet him, and even Zhu Yidao, who had been sitting on the stone chair, took the initiative to beckon, with a very polite attitude.
"I've met the big chief, I've seen all the brothers, everyone has always been good!"
The yellow squirrel has not been in Mangdang Mountain for a long time, but he can't stand his origin, unlike these native bandits, the yellow squirrel is a serious Yellow Turban remnant from the background, the root is red and Miao Zheng, followed the 'Tiangong General' Zhang Jiao, don't look at the current downfall, at the beginning it was also a ruthless role in killing officials and rebelling, spanning thousands of miles, plus the yellow squirrel is righteous and squandering money, and often uses money to help the surrounding mountains, so the popularity is very good.
"Okay, everyone has arrived, open the incense hall, worship the Yin King!"
"King Worship! ……”
With a shout, dozens of leaders, including Zhu Yidao, stood neatly, holding incense in their hands, and bowed respectfully to the high place of the cave three times!
It turns out that there is a huge portrait carved in the high of this cave, the stone carving lines are simple, atmospheric, full of traces of time, there are some years at a glance, the image is painted of a young man's appearance, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, resolute, holding the Qingfeng sword in one hand, holding high to the sky with one hand, opening his mouth and seemingly roaring something, although there are not many lines carved in stone, but the demeanor of the young man is vividly expressed, and it gives him a kind of divine brilliance!
There are also eight ancient characters written next to the portrait, although they are a little blurred, but even those who don't know a single big character among the thieves and can't even write their own names also know what those eight characters are...... 'Princes and generals, rather have a kind?' ’
There are three hundred and sixty lines in the world, and the same bandits also have their own ancestors, and the originator of the mountain they worship is the 'Hidden King' Chen Sheng!
Chen Sheng, the first person in the peasant uprising at the end of the Qin Dynasty, was originally a poor boy who couldn't even eat, but he shouted in Daze Township, 'Princely generals, would you rather have a kind?' This deafening oath set off a magnificent peasant uprising, and later the rebel army was defeated, Chen Sheng fled into Mangdang Mountain with a few henchmen with no way out, only to be killed by the traitor Zhuang Jia, and died here!
Later generations have a very high evaluation of Chen Sheng, and even Taishi Gong said that he was 'the precursor to the king', that is to say, if there was no fire lit by Chen Sheng, there would not be the great cause of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty;
Because there is a legend, Chen Sheng was killed in this stone cave back then, and the heroic spirit is buried here!
"Brothers, you must have heard about the affairs of Shanyang County, I called everyone here today to discuss how to deal with it, and now that 'ghost-faced Xiao Lang' is approaching Mangdang Mountain step by step, and he is about to kill at our doorstep, so I have to prepare early!" On the stone chair, Zhu Yidao said with sorrow.
"Wow! ......" The bandits suddenly made a big uproar, the names of people, the shadows of trees, and the four words 'ghost-faced Xiao Lang' can definitely stop children crying at night in Shanyang County, which makes people frightened......
It is said that this 'ghost-faced Xiao Lang' is not very old, but since he was in charge of Shanyang County, he first washed the Huayang Jia family in blood, and then defeated the coalition army of the seventeen counties, Shuangshui City-Xiong family father and son, that is also a tyrannical character, and was killed by this person himself, it can be said that the entire Shanyang County has been passed by this person with blood and fire, and now he is marching to the surrounding area of Mangdang Mountain, who is this for, so do you still need to ask?
"The soldiers are coming, the water is coming to cover the earth, what are you afraid of, it's a big deal to fight with him!"
"Fight you big-headed ghost, just the hundreds of people and horses in your cottage, those few broken knives, fight with others, have you ever fought with others?"
"Why don't we hide and go into the mountains......"
"I'm afraid that I will not be able to hide from the first day of junior high school, but I will not be able to hide from the fifteenth! Besides, what about so many brothers, what do you eat in the deep mountains in the cold winter? Gnaw on the bark! ”
"Be quiet! Look at your little bit of talent, I'm scared when I hear a name! Zhu Yidao slapped the stone chair and loudly reprimanded this group of subordinates, "Leader Huang, you have been on the battlefield for a long time and have seen a lot of knowledge, but now that the enemy is strong and I am weak, I don't know what is the best way to retreat from the enemy?" ”
"That's right, Leader Huang, you have seen a battle with the official army seriously, is there any good way to say it quickly!" Everyone immediately focused their eyes on the yellow rats, unlike them, the bandits who can only rob houses, but they are characters who enter and exit a few times on the battlefield of thousands of troops. (The weasel himself bragged, no tax anyway!) )
"Okay, thanks to the great leader and the brothers, then I will tell you my own opinions!" The weasel touched his nose, looking like he had experienced a hundred battles, and he didn't know when he had the habit of touching his nose, which can be regarded as a kind of idolatry!
"The defeat of Shuicheng-Xiong family's father and son that day is that they shouldn't be the enemy of the 'ghost-faced Xiao Lang', the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry are all well-trained elites, skilled in bows and horses, and brave in killing, with us people going to fight hard with others, then take the eggs and touch the stones, and find death by yourself!"
"Don't we have any chance of winning?" Patting his bald head, Zhu Yidao was also full of sorrow, what the yellow squirrel said was exactly what he was worried about, these people under his own hands, it was okay to rob the people, and against the elite iron cavalry battlefield, I am afraid that there would not even be scum left.
But if he fled without a fight, he was really a little unwilling, because there was something in this Mangdang Mountain that he was bound to obtain, as long as he got this thing, he would be able to soar into the sky, completely get rid of the identity of the little thief, and even become Chen Sheng's second, and pass the addiction of winning the world! After years of painstaking research, he finally has some eyebrows recently, so he can't give up now, reluctantly!
"If you want to talk about the odds, it's not impossible! …… is the so-called outwitting of the strong, if the bright one doesn't work, we can come to the dark one; That 'ghost-faced Xiao Lang' came from afar, and he was very unfamiliar with the terrain around Mangdang Mountain, and we can call him an unstable foothold, robbing the camp in the middle of the night, and he will win a complete victory! Saying that, the weasel put on a righteous appearance, "The little brother is not talented, and he is willing to lead the 500 people of the department to be the pioneer and explore the truth for you!" ”
"Well said! The terrain around Mangdang Mountain is complicated, and if we sneak over, we will definitely be caught off guard! Zhu Yidao slapped his thigh, thinking that this was a good strategy, "If this battle is successful, Leader Huang, you are the second leader of my Mangdang Mountain!" ”
"Huh! Thank you, Great Chief, for making it happen! ”
