All around Chu are mountains. Its southwest peaks, the forest ravines are particularly beautiful. The one who looks at the blue and deep show, Langya also. The mountain travels six or seven miles, and gradually hears the sound of water gurgling and pouring out between the two peaks, and the brewing spring is also

Taishou and guests come to drink here, drink less and get drunk, and the year is the highest, so he calls himself a drunkard. The drunkard's intention is not in the wine, but in the mountains and rivers

The above are some chapters in the "Drunken Man's Pavilion" written by Ouyang Xiu when he was in Chuzhou, Langya Mountain is located ten miles southwest of Chuzhou City, and it is actually quite close to Qingliu Pass.

Qin Mu and the Red Lady threw away the military affairs, galloped horses to hunt, and walked along the mountain, but they unconsciously arrived at the Drunken Weng Pavilion.

The monk Leshan, the abbot of Langya Temple, heard that the King of Qin came to the Drunken Weng Pavilion, and hurriedly greeted him and received him hobly;

When you come to the Drunken Gong Pavilion, you can't do it without wine, the Leshan monk took out the mountain monk to brew the wine for the guests, and Qin Mu let the red lady bake the prey and drink it in the pavilion.

The banquet was very pleasant, and the Leshan monk asked Qin Mu to leave some ink treasures, Qin Mu readily agreed, and wrote down a couplet:

Weng has been gone for 600 years, and his drunken hometown is still there.

The mountain travels seven or eight miles, and the pavilion shadow is not lonely.

The monk of Leshan got the ink treasure, and saw that the red lady was a little impatient to talk about poetry, so he retired and left a secluded forest landscape to Qin Mu and the red lady.

The drunken man's pavilion is surrounded by mountains and rivers, elegant and quiet. The ancient trees here are swaying, the pavilions are scattered, the mountains are picturesque, the clear water is murmuring, the cold wind going south is blocked by the mountain peaks, in this cold winter wax moon, the temperature in the mountains is relatively warm.

There is a pond near the pavilion, and there is an ancient plum tree by the pond that is said to have been planted by Ouyang Xiu himself. The plum blossoms are blooming, the shadows are sparse and horizontal, and the dark fragrance is floating.

The mountains are quiet and the wine is fragrant and beautiful. Qin Mu had a big heart. The red lady was a little absent-minded, she stopped her glass and asked, "Is it good for you to do this?" ”

"It's not going to work like you." Qin Mu replied with a smile.

"How can I be blamed for this?"

"Of course I'm going to blame you, look at you like this, with a strained face, as if I'm going to eat you at any time, what will you think when you let people see it?"

"I don't care what he thinks."

"That's that, that's your fault. What can you accomplish in this way? ”

"Then what do you want me to do?"

"Cooperate well, let's talk about me and me, and play in the mountains and rivers, this seems"

"What to go. you, think beautifully! ”

The red lady rarely showed a shy style, and her toned figure was outlined in a red outfit extremely moving, and the crisp breasts that were about to tear were surging with her movements.

Qin Mu looked at it. couldn't help blurting out: "The drunkard doesn't mean to drink." I care about the mountains and rivers! ”

The red lady could see from his eyes what he meant by "landscape", under his undisguised burning gaze, this time he didn't want to be angry anymore, so he simply got up and left the pavilion in anger.

Qin Mu picked up a pot of wine, then got up, took one of her hands, and walked side by side among the mountains and rivers. The red lady shook it twice. didn't get rid of his hand, and his eyebrows rose again

Chuzhou area. It was only three months since the Qin army recovered, and the administrative structure of many prefectures and counties was only hastily erected, and the local management was actually very weak.

Add to this the large number of refugees from the north, and the situation is even more chaotic. On Dalin Mountain, which is only twenty or thirty miles away from Chuzhou, Xia Chengde hissed and bit a freshly roasted fat goose leg, and his mouth was full of oil.

Since being sent by Duoduo and blending into the refugees in Zhongnan, it can be said that he has endured cold and starvation, and even Xia Chengde, the main general, has not smelled meat for many days.

In order not to attract the attention of the Qin army, his 3,000 men and horses scattered into the refugees and went south, and now only more than 400 people have gathered in the mountains.

Today, everyone scattered down the mountain to loot, and the harvest was good, and the fat goose in Xia Chengde's hand was just grabbed.

"Ugh!" Xia Chengde swallowed too quickly and choked, he fell into the stream next to him, and the cow drank it before he breathed a long sigh of relief.

"General, according to me, let's send people to sneak into Anxian County, and at night we should join forces with the outside, and it may not be impossible to take Lai'an down." Zhou Chongshan next to him seemed to be fed up with this kind of suffering, and said with a grudge that he was the one who followed Xia Chengde to the Qing Dynasty in Songshan, and he had always been regarded by Xia Chengde as his right-hand man.

Xia Chengde shook his head and said: "There are two Qin troops stationed in Lai'an, is it so easy to take it?" Besides, what to do with the seizure of Lai'an? Chuzhou is only a few dozen miles away from Lai'an, once we capture Lai'an, the Qin army in Chuzhou can be killed in half a day, do you want to be trapped and die in Lai'an City? ”

"But what are we doing with hunger and cold?"

"What? Of course, it is the grain and grass that attacked the Qin army, and now the grain and grass of the Qin army are all turned in Yangzhou, so let's set off at night, walk day and night, and hide near Yangzhou. ”

"General, there is no such mountain forest to hide in the past, what if it is discovered by the Qin army?"

"The danger has to go, otherwise we will go back like this, will the prince let us go?"

While the two were chatting, one of his subordinates rushed up the mountain, gasping and saying to Xia Chengde: "General, the general has inquired about a major news, Qin Mu and Qin Mu have come to Chuzhou. ”

Xia Chengde was taken aback, and asked urgently: "Qin Mu came to Chuzhou?" How many centaurs are brought? What's going on? Not only Xia Chengde, but Zhou Chongshan next to him was also very anxious, only that he was exposed.

"General, Qin Mu only brought two thousand people, he came to his mother, Qin Mu came to meet his good looks, the red lady who guarded the Qingliu Pass, I heard that she was very beautiful, and Qin Mu had a leg, the little one heard that Qin Mu came to Chuzhou, and immediately went to find the red lady, the two of them traveled to the mountains and rivers, so happy, when the little one came back, I heard that they were in the drunken pavilion of Langya Mountain"

"Wait, you said that Qin Mu is taking the matchmaker to play in the mountains and rivers?" Xia Chengde's expression was complicated, with doubts and joy.

"Yes, general, the little one can see his royal flag from a distance, and the red lady is always dressed in red, and this can be seen from a distance."

"How many men does he have with him?"

"There were only two or three hundred men on the trip, but they were all cavalry."

Xia Chengde frowned when he heard this, there were only a few hundred people around him now, and they all disguised themselves as refugees, so naturally they couldn't ride horses, and their weapons were mainly short knives that were relatively easy to hide, and there were very few bows and arrows. If you want to defeat Qin Mu's two or three hundred cavalry, it is wishful thinking.

What's more, if you think about it, you can know that the two or three hundred people that Qin Mu brought with him must be brave people who have experienced a hundred battles, not to mention that the number of people is not much different, even if his three thousand men and horses are assembled, they may not be able to win others.

"Chongshan, you personally take some brothers to find out the situation clearly, remember, be careful, don't startle the snake and expose Xingzang."

"Yes, General."

Zhou Chongshan and the others looked like refugees, so they didn't need to dress up anymore, they scattered around Chuzhou and went separately to investigate.

At dusk, Zhou Chongshan lay in the bushes on the edge of the city, and saw Qin Mu and the Red Lady returning to the city with two or three hundred men and horses.

On the second day, Qin Mu still took the red lady out of the city to hunt, and the two flirted all the way, and they were intimate.

Zhou Chongshan and others inquired in many ways, and after confirming that it was correct, they rushed back to Dalin Mountain to report to Xia Chengde.

Xia Chengde felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but after thinking about it, although Qin Mu only had two or three hundred people around him, Chuzhou City plus the defenders of Qingliu Pass added up to more than six thousand people.

Qin Mu went out of the city to play during the day and returned to the city at night, and Chuzhou now prohibits refugees from entering, so they can only do it during the day, which is almost impossible to do.

If all the three thousand men and horses are gathered, I am afraid that they will be discovered by the Qin army before they have the opportunity to make a move.

Obviously, it is impossible to do it completely by sneak attack, and no matter how sudden it is, there will inevitably be a process of strong attack in the end. Xia Chengde thought about it, and it was always difficult to find a way to insure.

Zhou Chongshan proposed: "General, let's report this news to Prince Yu, and let Prince Yu send troops to come, general, please think, it is only two or three hundred miles from Sizhou to Chuzhou, and the cavalry can be killed in one day and one night." Now there are only five or six thousand people in Chuzhou, and our army suddenly arrives, even if we can't kill Qin Mu in one fell swoop, as long as we surround him in Chuzhou, the Qin army is bound to be in chaos. ”

Xia Chengde felt that Zhou Chongshan's words were not unreasonable, no matter what, he decided to report the news to Duoduo first, and Duoduo would decide.
