Weiba Mountain City, also known as Wugucheng Mountain City, is located on Weiba Mountain of more than 100 zhang, located on the right bank of the Biliu River. Weiba Mountain City, one hundred and eighty miles east of Fuzhou City. Weiba Mountain City is located in the southeast of the Liaodong Peninsula, near the Yellow Sea. It is about 50 miles away from Chengshan Mountain City in the northeast, about 30 miles away from Gaoli Chengshan Mountain City in Mopan Township in the east, about 40 miles away from Biliu River in the east, about 60 miles away from the mouth of Biliu River in the southeast, and about 20 miles away from Baiyun Mountain Mountain City in the southwest.

The city wall of Weiba Mountain City is in place with the mountain, undulating according to the mountain, surrounded by mountains on three sides in the west, south and north, and the shape is like a dustpan. There are three city gates in the east, west and south on the wall of the mountain city, among them, the east city gate is the main passage in and out of the mountain city, the width is about two zhang, and the city wall is as high as three zhang. There is a water gate at the corner on the right side of the east gate, and there is a clear mountain spring flowing from the bottom all year round. The mountain spring that flows endlessly is an important source of water for the Goguryeo military and civilians who guarded the mountain fortress. The mountains on the west and north sides of the mountain city are steep. The terrain in the city is high in the west and low in the east, and the slope is gentle. The north and south walls of the mountain castle extend to the outside of the castle along with the movement of the mountain ridge, forming an outer platform that guards the mountain castle. The two outer platforms of the city are like the bottleneck of shrinkage, and when the enemy army comes to attack, the city wall of the city gate and the two outer platforms of the city can be condescendingly attacked on three sides, forming a natural urn city. Therefore, the layout of the mountain castle is like a concave shape.

Another small city was built on the north side of the mountain city of Weiba Mountain City, and the city wall was also built of stones, called the Purple City. There is a cistern on the inside of the west gate, also known as Yinmawan, which is formed by the gathering of clear springs in the mountains. There is a temple in the east gate, called Qingquan Temple. There are also buildings such as Jiangtai and fish ponds. There is no regular layout of the village and the market in the mountain city, and there is a lack of civil building facilities.

At this time, the mountain city was full of soldiers from the Zhendong Army and various departments in southern Liaoning, and Li Jing stood on the bell tower of Qingquan Temple overlooking the entire mountain city, and the circumference of the mountain city was about six miles. Although it is much smaller than the city of Beisha, which has a circumference of ten miles. It's dangerous. But it's not bad at all.

Weiba Mountain City is in the east of Jili City. It is stuck right in the west between the Stone Man Note City and the Stone City. For a long time, Stone City and Stone Man Pillar City were threatened by Goguryeo soldiers and horses in the mountain city of Weiba, and were often looted and extorted.

Three thousand Goguryeo soldiers and horses guarded the mountain city, like a nail firmly wedged on the seashore in the southeast of Liaodong.

There is Seongsan Mountain Castle in the northeast 50 miles, Goryeo Castle in the east 30 li, and Baiyun Mountain Castle in the southwest 20 miles.

The four mountain cities are closely connected together and serve as a barrier for the city. For a long time, it is because of these four mountain cities. Jili Prefecture has a comprehensive advantage over many Han people in the south, and it can be defended and attacked. Every year when the harvest season came, the Goguryeo soldiers and horses of Jili Prefecture began to descend the mountains to hunt grass valleys and plunder everywhere.

But for these robbers, the nearby Stone Man Pillar City and Stone City and other Tang people were powerless, and they were helpless at all. It's not that they haven't fought with the Goguryeo, but as long as the Goguryeo people retreat to a few mountain cities, they will be a husband. Don't open it. And if they wanted to bypass the four mountain fortresses and attack Jili City directly, their backs would be exposed in front of the Goguryeo people. It is possible that the Goguryeo people will be shut down and beaten at any time, and after such an aggrieved battle has been fought a few times, no one is willing to fight again. Every time it is time for the autumn harvest, I can only send more troops and horses to defend.

But no one thought that these mountain cities, which seemed to be impossible to break through in their eyes, would be so easily broken by the Zhendong Army.

As the most dangerous of the four mountain cities, the majestic mountain city fell overnight. Although it was a night attack, they had also attacked at night before, but which time did they not return with a feather? It can be seen that the Zhendong Army, overnight, easily took the Weiba Mountain City, not to mention, but also captured all the 3,000 Goguryeo people in the mountain city, and even Gao Zhaokang, the eldest son of Gao Dexin, the governor of Jili City, became a prisoner.

The Goguryeo people are very strong, and they are extremely strong. But at this time, these Goguryeo soldiers with full faces were all forcibly stripped of only a pocket cloth, half-naked and tied with ropes in strings, and driven in the wide camp.

The weapons of the three defenders were seized and piled up on one side like a mountain. These weapons were well maintained, piled up there, as if they were within reach, but the Goguryeo soldiers never had access to them again.

Although Gao Zhaokang is the main general, he does not have any special treatment, and like his subordinates, he has been stripped of his essence. Fortunately, he was wearing a pair of cotton boxers sold from Dengzhou, which was slightly better than the appearance of his subordinates. At this time, he couldn't help but think that this boxer panties made of cotton material that came from the Western Regions asked him for five yuan at the beginning, and he thought it was expensive at the time, but now it seems that he can be a little ashamed.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw a familiar figure walking in front of him, it was Qin Zongshou. He couldn't help but be angry, and he wanted to struggle violently, but a series of people were connected together, and he jumped up violently, but he was pulled to the ground violently by the rope tied to the other people, and even a group of people were dragged around, and even gnawed a mouthful of mud. But no one dared to scold him, so he had to consider himself unlucky.

Gao Zhaokang struggled a few times and couldn't stand up, so he had to sit on the ground and scold Qin Zongshou: "You surnamed Qin, you come over to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu asks you, Lao Tzu treats you well on weekdays, why do you hurt Lao Tzu so much?" ”

Qin Zongshou was following behind Li Jing to check on the prisoners of war, and when he heard the scolding, he looked up and saw that it was Gao Zhaokang, so he grinned and said to Li Jing on the side: "Lord, this is Gao Zhaokang, the eldest son of Gao Dexin, the governor of Jili City, this kid is married to the princess of Da Xuanxi, the current king of Bohai, who is just thirty years old this year, and has been crowned as the prince of Dongping County, and also serves as the general of the Zuo Shence Army. ”

When Li Jing heard this, he was slightly surprised.

"How could such a person stay in Weiba City?"

"Weiba Mountain Fortress is the first of the four mountain cities in the northeast of Jili City, and now Jili Prefecture and Jian'an Prefecture are at war, and this location in the northeast of Jili Prefecture is very important, and it is the passage between Jili Prefecture and the east of Daxing City, Black Bone City, Domestic City, Bodiao City and other Goguryeo power channels. Moreover, these mountain cities are also the strongholds for monitoring and controlling the strength of our Han people in the south. It is also a gateway barrier to the northeast of Jili State. For such an important city, Gao Dexin naturally sent his eldest son to defend it. ”

"The surname is Qin, you eat me and drink mine, don't you remember how you ran to me and begged me to take you in when you were poor? Now you are actually taking revenge and biting back. You're not even as good as a dog! Gao Zhaokang was still cursing there.

He was very angry in his heart now, Qin Zongshou was an old acquaintance with him. Qin Zongshou was a mercenary back then. Take a group of people to fight outside. There was a defeat in a battle. Fleeing with his people, he happened to meet him. At that time, because he saw that Qin Zongshou and others were seriously injured and surrounded, he killed seven people in a row, and Gao Zhaokang saved them. They also treated their injuries, and after Qin Zong guarded them, he stayed behind Gao Zhaokang to be a guard for three years. Three years later, Gao Zhaokang also gave him a sum of money when he left. It was with this money that Qin Zongshou recruited troops and horses, and later established the Wolf Tooth Cottage in Qingwolf Mountain.

Although Qin Zongshou left Gao Zhaokang's side. There has always been a connection between the remaining two. At the very beginning of the entrepreneurial stage, he fought hard with his opponent several times, and Qin Zongshou was supported by Gao Zhaokang's troops. However, these are not priceless, over the years, Qin Zongshou has become stronger and stronger according to the wolf's tooth village, while farming and hunting, he is also engaged in business and selling goods, and occasionally makes cameos to do some businessless business, and he earns a lot of money every year. But most of them were handed over to Gao Zhaokang. Especially this year, the Goguryeo people clashed with the Khitans. The grain and grass needed to be increased, and Gao Zhaokang sent people to Qin Zongshou several times to ask for grain and grass, which was several times as much as in previous years, causing the Langya Village to have enough to eat, and complained.

Previously, Qin Zongshou was reluctant to join Li Jing because he was actually a subordinate of the Goguryeo people. Now that he has submitted to Li Jing, Qin Zongshou is also single, and directly offered advice to Li Jing that he could help Li Jing take Weiba Mountain City.

His strategy is actually very simple, the mountain city is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is indeed difficult to conquer according to ordinary methods.

However, he used an unusual method, Qin Zongshou took his wolf tooth camp and escorted a batch of grain and grass to Weiba Mountain City. It was only said that he was sending grain and grass, because Qin Zongshou had also stayed in the mountain city for a few years, and he often came to deliver grain and grass every year in the future, so the Goguryeo people were also familiar with him, and they didn't suspect too much, so they let them enter the mountain city. After Qin Zongshou finished handing over the grain and grass, he presented a batch of fine wine to Gao Zhaokang.

This wine is Wuliangye wine produced in Shamen Town, Gao Zhaokang also drank it in Jili Prefecture, and it was brought by Tang merchants in southern Liaoning. I happily accepted the wine at the moment. In addition to sending wine to Gao Zhaokang, Qin Zongshou also brought a batch of wine to thousands of defenders, although it was not as good as Wuliangye, but it was also a good wine.

Because Qin Zongshou sent a lot of grain and grass, Gao Zhaokang was happy that day, so he ordered to kill pigs and sheep to entertain Qin Zongshou and his subordinates who came to deliver grain. Moreover, he directly took out all the wine sent by Qin Zongshou to reward the soldiers.

Who knew that these wines, Qin Zongshou and his subordinates had already drugged them. Previously, because they were acquaintances, the Goguryeo people did not check carefully, and as a result, they only drank half of the wine, except for some on duty, the rest basically fainted, and they were all tied up by Qin Zongshou. Then he took the wine and gave it to the night watchman, and took the opportunity to put down most of the night watchman. A few of them were vigilant, but they didn't make much waves after the last, and they were all captured.

With such almost no bloodshed, Qin Zongshou took down the mountain city, opened the gate of the mountain city, and welcomed Li Jing's army up the mountain. By the time Gao Zhaode and other Goguryeo soldiers woke up, they were left with only a pocket cloth and tied into a string.

Qin Zongshou was cursed by Gao Zhaode, and his face turned cold: "You did save me at the beginning, but I followed you for three years, how many opponents did I take my clan to kill for you, and how many times did I save your life?" I think that the life-saving grace has already been returned. In addition to me, didn't all of my people who were saved by you die for you in the end? You and I have long been clear, over the years, you have sent people to help me several times, but each time it is not a woman who asks for a lot of money and food. Especially this year, how much grain and grass did you say you sent someone to ask for? We've eaten ourselves thin, and you've taken away the last bit of food from us, do you have us in your eyes? You don't know what to do, because you took the grain, my wolf tooth village had to go out to rob it, and as a result, I robbed a hundred stones of grain, but gave more than a hundred lives? Are you just treating me Qin Zongshou as your dog, or a dog who will help you get food and grass. ”

Gao Zhaode wanted to say, you were originally one of my dogs, but when the words came to his lips, looking at Qin Zongshou's hideous appearance, he swallowed back again. After thinking about it, Gao Zhaode's tone lowered a little, and said cautiously: "Wolf Tooth, I don't know about these situations, if I know Lu Dao, I definitely won't ask you for those grains." You see, this is all a misunderstanding made by the people below. If you let us go, I will give you Weiba Mountain City, and in addition, I will give you 10,000 stone of grain. ”

"Plus five hundred horses!"

Seeing that Qin Zongshou didn't make any movement, Gao Zhaode gritted his teeth: "If you let me and my brothers go, I'll give you another 10,000 yuan and 1,000 sets of knives and guns!" ”

Li Jing chuckled lightly beside him at this time: "Brother Zhaode doesn't seem to understand the current situation, to tell you the truth, Wolf Tooth is now the captain of the Wolf Tooth Battalion of my Zhendong Army." You are now my captive of Li Jing. Since you want to make a deal, then I will also make a deal with you. Five thousand war horses, plus the four mountain cities of Weiba Mountain City, Chengshan Mountain City, Goryeo Mountain City, and Baiyun Mountain Mountain City, were ceded to the Eastern Army of my town, and I can let you go! ”

"Zhendong Army? Li Jing? Gao Zhaokang's mouth was wide open, and he was stunned for a moment. (To be continued......)
