Chapter 395

But now the problem comes. The chief soldier is not a fool. Since someone reported that the c-camp was not stationed at Haishan pass, and the a-camp came to see it, once he went back and said that the c-camp was destroyed by Ximang people, ye Xiang's current efforts would be in vain.

So ye Xiang looked at Zhang Nan, and Zhang Nan was thinking about it.

Because what they are facing next is not only to prove that the c-camp is still alive, but also to prevent the general army from seeing them.

Suddenly Zhang Nan smiled and asked others, "are there mountain bandits around here?"

Gen Sheng immediately jumped up and said, "yes, there are many mountain bandits here. Are we going to suppress them?"

Zhang Nan said with a smile, "yes, I'm going to suppress the bandits... You were trained before, and you don't know how powerful you are now. Now I'll take you out of the mountain to suppress the bandits. From now on, we'll suppress the bandits around Haishan pass. The Cao and I will clean up and restore Xiongguan to its original state, and then we'll leave.

In the next two months, we will fight bandits one by one. When we are tired, we will drill into the old forest to have a rest. "

These words suddenly excited everyone. Many people's eyes were red and their whole body trembled.

In fact, the vast majority of these soldiers were sent to haishanguan to join the army because mountain bandits robbed their villages.

So now they are happy to hear that they are going to suppress the bandits.

The land around haishanguan is fertile and beautiful. When the Yin empire was the strongest, it was once called Yunzhou granary.

It is said that the grain produced here can supply the grain consumption of the whole Yunzhou for one year. Therefore, the Yin Empire built haishanguan here.

Because seamounts serve as a natural barrier to isolate Ximang, haishanguan was very rich before the world war five thousand years ago.

It is said that five thousand years ago, two immortals fought in this war. It is said that the sword Qi overflowed in the dark. Finally, the two immortals split four swords and split the whole seamount from north to south into four canyons.

Then one of the immortals escaped seriously, and the winning immortals built four passes on the seamount because he destroyed the natural barrier.

From north to south, they were ghost head pass, Xiong pass, Mo pass and GUI pass. Then the military headquarters of Yin empire began to deploy defense at Haishan pass.

Haishan pass was originally called Haishan County, which belongs to one of the ten counties in Yunzhou and was also the first of the ten counties in Yunzhou at that time.

Yunzhou now has only nine counties, but haishanguan has become a place for prisoners to be exiled.

When ye Xiang first arrived here, he appeared in a mountain village.

At present, the poor people's livelihood, the decline of Commerce and the rampant banditry in haishanguan have reached the point where the people can't make a living.

But in this way, there are still businessmen colluding with Ximang to smuggle horses and grain, and the four passes have become the main channel for businessmen at Haishan pass and Ximang people to smuggle.

In order to get through the smuggling channel, businessmen bribed the generals and soldiers guarding the customs. Over time, the soldiers at Haishan customs became corrupt and rotten.

Therefore, Ximang began to invade year after year, and the early businessmen who colluded with Ximang also retreated to the east of Yunzhou early and became rich.

The so-called rich businessmen that can be seen in Haishan pass are just some petty smugglers. They only occasionally sneak outside the pass to exchange some strange gadgets with the people of Ximang tribe and send them to Yunzhou for sale.

Now the bandits in Haishan pass actually come from other places. Just because Haishan pass is chaotic enough, they begin to occupy here. They occasionally go to the surrounding villages to rob women and food, just to replenish food and grass.

The main targets of these robbers are the counties near haishanguan in Yunzhou. Therefore, at the end of each year, the counties with weak defense in Yunzhou will be looted and looted by a large number of robbers.

So that those rich businessmen had to negotiate a price with the robbers, and then the rich businessmen offered it every year, which prevented the bandits from invading their homes and property.

Over time, these robbers were used to be more arrogant by rich businessmen, and the robbers with money recruited more troops to expand their strength.

Therefore, the armed forces of some mountain bandits once surpassed the troops stationed at haishanguan.

The reason why Haishan pass did not dare to suppress bandits was that more than a thousand years ago, a sect door named Xinghe sect appeared in Haishan, and then it was reported that there were disciples of Xinghe sect among the bandits.

Since there are immortal disciples among the mountain bandits, the garrison of Haishan pass dare not suppress the bandits. Over time, relying on Xinghe sect, the mountain bandits began to compete with the garrison of Haishan pass, and gradually formed a model of harmonious coexistence.

Because whenever Ximang invades, these mountain bandits will also send people to resist the Ximang army. Moreover, there are few mountain bandits, but their combat power is stronger than these garrisons.

After that, the military department of Yin Empire directly cut off the supply of the troops stationed at haishanguan, but sent a chief soldier every once in a while.

Therefore, every year, when the Ximang army harasses the border, it is basically the disabled and defeated generals of the four camps who fight together with the mountain bandits.

But ye Xiang didn't know this, and the soldiers he accepted didn't know this.

After all, ye Xiang has not yet touched that level, and if this banditry continues, Haishan pass will decay and fall sooner or later. Therefore, the current general army has not thought of moving these bandits.

But now the severe winter is coming, and the army of Ximang fighting the autumn wind will soon come. At this time, suppressing the bandits is tantamount to giving up haishanguan!

……

In haishanguan's general army house, Xia Hou, the Cao of jiaziying camp, was very frightened and told the general army of his discovery, which shocked the general army.

Now the chief soldier's name is Cao Yang. He provoked the wrong people in the Yunzhou military headquarters and was finally demoted here.

At the moment, Cao Yang frowned and held his long beard in his hand. "That's wrong! Those mountain bandits at the top of the mountain have no one to report that there are Ximang troops coming. Are you mistaken? "

Xia Hou said decisively, "I swear there is absolutely no mistake. The hoof prints on the ground are only stepped out by Ximang war horses. I can see them clearly!"

Cao Yang couldn't help laughing when he heard the speech. "Can the horse hoof print be divided into Ximang and Yin Empire? Nonsense... Go back! Damn it, I think the c-camp is hungry. Go to the mountain and be a mountain bandit! "

In fact, it's no wonder Cao Yang thought so, because this kind of thing happened at Haishan pass before. The soldiers in the military camp couldn't stand this kind of pain and went directly to the mountain to become mountain bandits.

In particular, Zhao Buchuan himself came down from the mountain. Cao Yang knew that this guy came down to recruit a group of people and take them back to the mountain stronghold.

Unfortunately, a defeat last year almost killed and injured the soldiers of these four battalions, and this guy stayed.

I'm afraid I can't stand it now. I'm taking people back to the mountain

Thinking of this, Cao Yang couldn't help sighing. He secretly scolded him for being a total soldier. He was really a fucking coward. He had to rely on bandits to fight a war.

Watching Xia Hou leave, Cao Yang sat at his desk and looked at the memorial in his hand. It was a memorial he was going to go across the state capital to the sky. It was to poke up the chaos of Haishan pass. I hope the people above can take good care of the officials of Yunzhou.

These people are really rich but not benevolent. They only praise peace and prosperity, and don't look at the people who are starving at their feet.

In Cao Yang's eyes, what he did at haishanguan was also his helpless compromise.

However, after his defeat last year, he was whipped by the leaders of Yunzhou military department, and now he is still in pain, which makes him more determined to pierce this hole.

Therefore, he has long thought that this memorial cannot go to the post station of Yunzhou. He wants to bypass Yunzhou and send it to Longdu through the post stations of other states.

But as soon as he picked up his pen, he stopped there. At the moment, he was upset, because it was unknown whether the situation of haishanguan could make him live until winter.

So Cao Yang hung the pen there for a long time, and finally put it down. First, he felt that he might not see the results after writing, and second, the whipping injury broke out again, which made him unable to write.

……

Fifty miles east of the ghost pass, there is a hill no more than 500 meters high. There is a mountain stronghold called Ziwei stronghold on the mountain. It is said that the boss of this nest of mountain bandits is known as Ziwei immortal and is a disciple of Xinghe sect.

However, there are not many people in Ziwei stronghold, which looks like more than a hundred people. Usually, no merchants pay tribute to them, and the surrounding villagers support them every year.

They are also powerful enough. Once the villagers of more than a dozen villages around their stronghold worked together to drive them away.

As a result, the crape myrtle immortal was really not covered. He just showed off his cultivation with the imperial sword in the air, and then said he was an immortal. It's understandable for mortals to pay tribute.

In the face of the ignorant villagers of the "immortal", the robbers of Ziwei stronghold looted the villages one by one. This is the past.

It was night, the crape myrtle stockade was noisy, and the torch was whirring by the mountain wind. The real crape myrtle sat on a arhat bed and smiled at his brothers drinking for fun.

During this period, many women with untidy clothes walked back and forth among them, and were trampled by these rough men.

Pa pa

Suddenly a series of strange noises appeared, and then the mountain bandits who were enjoying themselves fell down one by one, but some of them were not dead, but they were seriously injured and fell to the ground.

"Stronghold leader, help me!" One of the guys, full of blood, has a thumb sized blood hole in his chest, gurgling with blood.

But his legs couldn't move, because the blood hole passed through his spine. Now he can only climb on the ground with both hands, but he can't climb at all.

Crape myrtle immortal couldn't help staring at the scene in front of him. He didn't understand why all his people died in a moment.

He has the cultivation of opening the field, and he can feel any wind and grass within a hundred feet around him.

However, there was no trouble around, so the first thing that immortal crape myrtle thought of was that the cultivator wanted to kill him.

"Where are you? It seems that my crape myrtle immortal hasn't offended you! Why don't you devote yourself to seeing me? I have gold and silver here! "

Pop!

Ziwei immortal only felt a pain in his knee, and then he knelt on one knee. When he reacted and looked at his leg, he found that there was blood flowing out.

"Taoist friend! You're so unruly. I'm a disciple of Xinghe sect. If you... "

Pop!

"Sobbing..." the crape myrtle immortal only felt a sharp pain in his ribs and covered his mouth. Then he touched it with his hand, and his hand was scarlet.

"Who the hell are you?" He wanted to shout now, but the sharp pain in his lungs made him unable to shout. The voice of this sentence was so low that he couldn't hear it.

Pop, pop, pop

A series of sounds sounded like rain. The real crape myrtle was directly beaten into a sieve, and the robbers who had not died could not die anymore at the moment.

The whole process was just a few minutes. When those women reflected, the bandits in Ziwei stronghold had already died.

There were no women screaming because they were all scared.

Then a man came to resist the sword, looked at the women and said, "all the gold and silver here belong to you, but you have to do one thing. Go to Haishan pass after you go back, and say that Haishan pass c-camp destroyed the mountain bandits in Ziwei stronghold."

Then the man left with his sword. It doesn't matter whether those women go back or not!
