Chapter 792: Ambushes Everywhere
Just when everyone was looking for the Qincha Guard, the Qincha Guard came to the Yimeng Mountains and was trekking hard.
Yimeng Mountain, known as "Dongmeng" in ancient times, also known as "Yunmeng", is the highest mountain in Yimeng Mountain. It spans the four counties of Feixian, Pingyi, Yinan and Mengyin, with a length of about 150 miles from east to west and a width of 30 miles from north to south. There are three main peaks in Mengshan: the east is called Wanghailou with an altitude of 1001 meters, formerly known as Dongmeng; The middle elevation of 1026 meters is called the hanging heart peg, also called Yunmeng; The most precipitous is the 1,156-meter-high turtle summit in the west.
At the root of the South Mountain at the top of the turtle, there are ruins of the country of Yuan. According to historical records, the descendants of the Zhou King Feng Fuxi founded a country here, and were responsible for sacrificing Mengshan, which was called Zhuan Yu and was attached to the Lu State. Legend has it that the king of Zhuan held a ceremony to worship Mengshan in the Wanshou Palace under Mengshan, and later, people built a temple here, called the Mengmeng Temple, which is the "Mengci" that Li Daoyuan said in the "Water Classic Note".
The majestic 800 miles of Yimeng is mainly composed of Yishan, Mengshan, Beidashan, Lushan, Menglianggu and other high mountains with countless hills. Yishan, Mengshan, Lushan are all above 1,000 meters above sea level, the mountain is high and steep, the mountain is steep, the peaks and peaks are continuous, the mountains are stacked, the cliffs are steep, the boulders are craggy, the ancient trees are towering to the sky, the waterfalls are flowing springs, the streams are deep and the streams are clear, and the Yi River and the Shu River linger like a belt. Wenfeng Mountain, Fulai Mountain, Yushan Mountain, Maji Mountain and Seventy-two Gu, majestic and beautiful, beautiful scenery.
Yimeng mountainous area, since ancient times celebrities, brilliant like the stars, breathtaking, gave birth to the sage Zengzi, filial piety sage Wang Xiang, wisdom sage Zhuge Liang, calligraphy sage Wang Xizhi, sage Liu Hong, Eastern Jin Dynasty famous minister Wang Dao, a generation of famous minister Kuang Heng, a generation of famous generals Meng Tian, Yang Hu, famous calligrapher Yan Zhenqing, famous educator "Yan's Family Motto" author Yan Zhitui, "Wenxin Carving Dragon" author Liu Xian, Confucius teacher Tan Zi, famous astronomer He Chengtian, calligrapher Wang Xianzhi, famous writer Gong Nai, Bao Zhao and many other historical celebrities.
In order to prevent the Maitreya thieves from attacking and retaliating on the road ahead, Wang Shouren did not dare to take risks after receiving a letter from Lu Mingyuan asking Master Zhao to bring him an analysis of the situation in Shandong, so he put everyone in danger, temporarily changed his itinerary, and turned to the Yimeng Mountains, hoping to escape the attack.
Of course, Wang Shouren and the others didn't have the heart to enjoy this scenery and appreciate the style of this historical figure, they just rushed to the road, it was really a tyrannical thing!
Along the way, the Qincha guards marched slowly and vigilantly, and they had to make sure that there was no danger ahead, so Li Bing and Wu Qi gave the order to move forward, but the mountain road was rugged and very difficult, and the sergeants were willing to do so.
But the officers and soldiers guarding Wang Shouren were bitter, I thought that this time to escort Lord Qincha was a good thing, but I never thought that this Lord Qincha could really toss, and put a good official road and didn't go, but it was folded to the Yimeng Mountains, and I had to take this rugged mountain road, isn't this my own guilt?
However, since they were responsible for guarding, they naturally didn't dare to slack off, so they had to grit their teeth and insist!
But Ming Zhongxin was guilty, just because he could no longer lie in the carriage in this mountainous area, so Ming Zhongxin's march changed to a different way, and he was carried on a stretcher! Just because he is in a coma, other ways will damage his body! This was unanimously agreed upon by everyone.
So, Lan Xin'er naturally couldn't take care of her anymore, so she also enjoyed this way, of course, she didn't use a stretcher, but sat in a basket and was carried on her back in turn. There is no way, who made her a confidante of Ming Zhongxin, and in the future, she will be the mother of the Ming family, and the students will talk about it and let her go to the basket, of course, this is also allowed by Wang Shouren!
Although the journey was hard, not to mention, it was extremely safe and undisturbed along the way.
This also made Wang Shouren feel at ease.
And this is also the reason why the officers and soldiers can't find them, just because, they are all looking for those sheep intestine trails that can be walked, of course, there are also local mountain people to lead the way, otherwise, what if you get lost?
In this way, they walked out of the Yimeng Mountains smoothly.
"My lord, out of Yaoshan in front, it is Qingzhou Mansion, I don't know if you want to go to Qingzhou Mansion City to report?" Li Bing came to Wang Shouren and asked in a low voice.
Wang Shouren instantly frowned and fell into deep thought.
Yaoshan, a famous mountain in Linqu County, Shandong Province, is said to be the birthplace of the ancient Emperor Yao. There are depressions on the mountain, and there are places of interest such as the birthplace of Yao and the ancient temple.
It is located in Qingzhou Mansion, out of the southwest corner of the mountain pass, which is the Qingzhou Mansion City.
Qingzhou Mansion, the first year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1368 AD) placed Qingzhou Mansion, the governance of Yidu, that is, Yidu Town, Qingzhou City. It belongs to one of the ancient Kyushu; Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the fifth year of Yuanfeng (106 BC) placed the Qingzhou Thorn History Department; In the fifth year of Emperor Yongjia of the Western Jin Dynasty (311), Guanggu City was built; In the third year of Emperor Long'an of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (399), it was the capital of the Southern Yan Kingdom, and in the sixth year of Yixi (410), Dongyang City was built; In the second year of Emperor Xiping of the Northern Wei Dynasty (517), Nanyang City was added.
In the first year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1368 AD), Yidu Road in the Yuan Dynasty was changed to Qingzhou Mansion, which governed three prefectures of Weizhou, Juzhou and Jiaozhou and Yidu, Linzi, Boxing, Shouguang, Changle, Linqu, Anqiu, Zhucheng, Mengyin, Yishui, Rizhao, Changyi, Gaomi, Jimo, Gaoyuan, Le'an (Guangrao) 16 counties. Later, Weizhou, Jiaozhou, Gaomi, Changyi, and Jimo were assigned to Laizhou Prefecture, and they still led 13 counties and 1 state. The prefect of the prefecture is the prefect, and there are also officials such as the same governor and the prefect. The prefect is in charge of "the government of a government, publicizing the weather, quelling prison lawsuits, and entrusting all servants", and the same governor is the deputy of the prefect, and the general judgment is only responsible for grain transportation and farmland and water conservancy.
If it is for the sake of safety, there is no need to see the prefect of Qingzhou Mansion at all, after all, there are many people in Qingzhou Mansion, and the news will inevitably be leaked. However, even if we don't go to contact with Qingzhou Mansion, as long as we get out of this Yimeng Mountain Range, we will inevitably have contact with the people, and it is only a matter of time before our whereabouts are exposed, not to mention, there are still guards who need to hand over to Qingzhou Mansion, after all, they are the sergeants of Nanzhili, and this time they came to protect themselves, but now that they have entered the territory of Shandong Province, they naturally have to hand over with the prefectures and counties in Shandong Province, so that they can go back to their lives, and people will not sneak away with them again. After all, each has its own role, and you can't force others to listen to you!
If you think so, let's go and meet it! Along the way, we also need to replenish some grain and grass! See what's the matter! It's a big deal, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth! I don't believe it, such a big rebellion in Yunnan has come over, and now what can happen in this Shandong Province, the area controlled by the imperial court?
Wang Shouren made up his mind, and with an order, the army drove and went straight to the outside of the mountain.
Of course, the necessary scout scouts are naturally the first to investigate.
Approaching the mountain pass, the army halted its advance and set up camp.
The spies came to report, and there was nothing unusual, Wang Shouren gave an order, and the Qin sent the guards out of the mountain.
The Qincha guards moved forward cautiously, and sent scout spies from all sides, making sure to ensure that if there were thieves and bandits, they could react in time and keep the enemy ten miles away.
However, everything was calm and there was no chaos.
Wang Shouren and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
The army marched forward, far away, the smoke curled up, the voices of the people were boiling, and there was a peaceful atmosphere.
Everyone looked, yo, they actually came to a small town, and everything was normal in the town, and there was nothing wrong with it.
But Wang Shouren didn't dare to be careless, and sent Wu Qi to lead his troops into the town to see if he could replenish grain and grass!
Wu Qi went away as he was told, but he also came back quickly, and brought good news that the people of the town were very hospitable, and that the rich man had taken out the grain stored in his house and sold it to the Chincha guards.
When Wang Shouren heard this, his face sank, he looked at Wu Qi, and asked in a deep voice, "General Wu, what you said is true?" Nothing false? ”
Wu Qi sneered, his eyes dodging, obviously, he had not finished telling the truth.
"Say!" Wang Shouren was extremely unhappy at this time.
When Wu Qi saw Wang Shouren's face change, he didn't dare to hide it anymore, and told the facts one by one.
But it turned out that he had just led his troops into the town, and the people were panicked, like frightened birds, and hid back in their homes, probing them through the cracks in the door.
Wu Qi was puzzled for a while, and hurriedly grabbed a person and asked why?
But it turned out that a year ago had already experienced a turmoil, and there were thieves in all parts of Shandong Province who burned, killed and looted, and did all kinds of evil, especially among the people sent by Henan Jiangbei Province, there were actually some thieves who took the opportunity to make trouble, although later after the intervention of the officials and the army, the rebellion was quelled, however, the shadow in the hearts of the people was too deep! As soon as he saw an army coming, he naturally couldn't dodge, so he dared to come forward to answer.
When Wu Qi heard this, he frowned, and understood the people's distress in his heart, so he stopped harassing the people, asked where the big households in the town were, and went to the door.
Wu Qi didn't want to disturb the people, but if he didn't replenish the grain and grass, he was afraid that we would really have to drink the northwest wind. So, I wanted to go to the big house and buy some grain and grass with money for urgent needs!
However, as the people said before, the victims of the Jiangbei Province in Henan Province came and needed to be resettled, so the magistrate sent people to collect money and grain from all counties and towns and towns, especially the big households.
As a result, the big investors naturally refused to sell.
Wu Qi understood in his heart, so he was no longer impatient, but asked the big households where there was food?
He wanted to ask the big family for news, and if there was a lot of surplus food in the big family, he would go to the door to buy it.
However, the folks in people's hometowns naturally will not betray their neighbors and do everything possible to shirk them.
At this time, Wu Qi was enraged!
In a fit of rage, he seized the big families and ordered his housekeeper to invite the big families in the town and ask for a little grain from each of them, which he bought with money, of course.
As a result, the big dealers reluctantly agreed to sell under his threat.
That's how it happened.
Wu Qi looked at Wang Shouren and smiled, "My lord, I can't help it!" If we don't replenish the grain and grass, I'm afraid that not only the horses will be decorated with starvation to death, but even we will be choked enough! ”
"That's your reason?" Wang Shouren glared angrily, what did Wu Qi do? How do you treat the people like this? It's disgusting!
When Wu Qi heard this, he knew that the adults were really angry, so he didn't dare to make any more sophistry, so he bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
"Let's go, let's go into the town and make amends to the people!" Wang Shouren saw that he admitted his mistake, and he didn't care too much, and said slowly.
"No way!" Without waiting for Wu Qi to speak, Li Bing's face changed and he objected.
"What? General Wu made a mistake, why can't I take him to admit his mistake and apologize? Wang Shouren frowned tightly and glared at Li Bingdao.
"My lord, safety first!" Li Bing retracted his expression and said solemnly, "Although there is no danger in the town now, who can guarantee that there are no assassins?" After all, people are alive, and we can't check them one by one. If you are in danger and encounter danger, how can we deal with ourselves? ”
"This?" Wang Shouren groaned for a while, he knew that Li Bing was reasonable, but what Wu Qi did was really inappropriate, he had to wipe his ass for him!
"My lord, why don't you rest here, and the last general will accompany General Wu to admit his mistake and apologize, and appease the people, what do you think?" Li Bing proposed.
"It's good!" Wang Shouren pondered and nodded in agreement.
"Then the general will go back quickly, and please pay attention to safety!" Li Bing arched his hand, turned his horse back, and after pulling the general to give some orders, he pulled Wu Qi away.
Wang Shouren looked at the figures of these two and sighed, this Wu Qi is really uneasy! If Master Ming is here, why use this Wu Qi to get out of the horse, everything will be done properly!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Ming Zhongxin, who was being carried on a stretcher behind him, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
In the Yimeng Mountains before, due to the difficulty of the mountain road, they had already abandoned the carriage, leaving only the horses, so now it is not as comfortable as before! But for the sake of safety, it is not a loss, but this Master's body can still bear it? I don't know, when will Master Ming wake up?
Check it out! After all, he was a little worried in his heart, and he turned his horse and went to visit Ming Zhongxin.
However, at this moment, suddenly, someone screamed.
Look!
Wang Shouren was shocked and looked at the man.
I saw that a sergeant was pointing in the direction of the town, with a look of horror on his face!
Could it be that something is wrong with the town? Wang Shouren chuckled in his heart and looked up in the direction of the town.
But I saw that the fire was everywhere in the town, and the sound of shouting and killing came faintly, endlessly!
Ambushed! Wang Shouren immediately judged that Wu Qi and Li Bing had encountered an ambush, could it be that there were really remnants of the Maitreya Society in this town? At the same time, he was deeply glad in his heart, fortunately Li Bing stopped him just now, otherwise, he was afraid that he would also be ambushed!
Since we have been ambushed, we must rescue us immediately!
Wang Shouren made a decision in his heart, and immediately beckoned.
The partial general's face has also changed greatly, and his face is anxious, after all, although Li Bing and Wu Qi are his bosses, they are also his comrades-in-arms, how can he not be worried when he is ambushed at this time?
"General Ma, immediately lead the army to rescue the two generals!" Wang Shouren commanded in a deep voice.
The general opened his mouth to agree, but suddenly his complexion changed greatly, he jumped up, pounced on Wang Shouren's horse, and pushed him off the horse.
Sou! An arrow sounded, poof! A string of blood.
Blood splattered!
The general opened his mouth, hehe was silent, his eyes were full of regret, and he turned over and fell to the ground.
And Wang Shouren rolled on a donkey, stood up, gray-faced, looking at the body that was about to fall, with a look of horror and anger in his eyes.
"Meet the enemy!" Wang Shouren snorted.
As early as when the partial general fell off his horse, the sergeants were already in a shield-shaped formation, making a battle posture, surrounding the bodies of Wang Shouren and Ma Bianjun.
The sound of shouting and killing sounded from all sides, and for a while, the sound of killing shook the sky, and ambushes broke out in all directions.
