Yuan Chenggang was the father of Yuan Xi, the former general of motorcycles and bandits.
Yuan Chenggang didn't go along with the uprising in Wuzhuang. Seeing that it was hard to recover, he fled into Canglang mountains with his family.
Since then, Yuan Chenggang has become a bandit in the area of Qifeng mountain.
That's not the point.
Back in the heyday of Shu, Yuan Chenggang was the general in charge of guarding Canglang mountain range, which was like the natural wall of the capital city.
But behind the Canglang mountains lies the river. This river connects with the Ganges River, which in turn connects with the East China Sea. It is the best route for eastward crossing.
Therefore, Fusang people often sneak into Xishu from Canglang mountains, intending to plot mischief.
Although yuan Chenggang was king of the mountains and became a mountain bandit, he never forgot his duty of guarding Shu. He was still the patron saint of Canglang mountains.
And the people under Canglang mountains live and work in peace and contentment because of his protection.
But in the final analysis, Yuan Chenggang was the general of the former dynasty and the eyesore of Wuzhuang, so the common people under Canglang mountain agreed that bandits were prevalent in Qifeng mountain.
But it is not. The food and clothing offered by the villagers are carefully selected and given to them. Even those girls are willing to marry in.
But the bandits took it away by force to avoid the suspicion of the court.
Every year, Wuzhuang sends people to eliminate the mountain bandits, but even the Dali Temple minister and Xing Zhengyuan are not the opponents of Yuan Chenggang.
Although the old general was defeated, he still used his weapons like a God and played the people of the imperial court around.
When Yuan Chenggang died five years ago, his only son, Yuan Xi, succeeded him and became the leader of mountain bandits, commanding more than 600 soldiers, more than 100 old and weak women and children in the village.
Yuan Xi was smart when he was young, and he was better than LAN in military use. He cleaned up Fusang people who wanted to sneak into Xishu from Canglang mountains.
The bones discovered by Xing Zhengyuan and the Minister of Dali temple are actually Fusang people.
The old woman said here with tears in her eyes: "the general is a man of indomitable spirit. He never stoops down, but he is forced to become a bandit."
Su Yin was speechless. The so-called loyalty was probably like this. Even if he was reduced to a bandit, he still had the original intention.
Yuan Xi was right. If they had not guarded Canglang mountains, the underground people would have died long ago.
No wonder the imperial court has been suppressing bandits for more than 20 years, and the common people are united as one and never let slip their words.
It is estimated that the few people taken away by Dali temple every year are not real bandits.
——Boom!
As they were talking, the night sky lit up again. Su Yin couldn't help wondering: "old man, how many Fusang people do you invade each time?"
The old woman thought about it and said, "about one or two hundred of them. Don't worry, girl. They are not the opponents of Xi'er."
One or two hundred people couldn't have caused such a big stir. The fire was all around in the distance. Obviously, a lot of gunpowder was used.
Su Yin couldn't figure out why there were still Fusang people sneaking into the Canglang mountains when the Fusang army landed in Linjiang?
When she thought about it, she stood on guard and told the old woman, "old man, please look at my roast whole lamb. I'll go and have a look."
"Ah, girl, you don't want to go. What do girls do in the battlefield..."
Before the old woman finished speaking, Su Yin had already rushed out on Dabai.
The dark night was lit by the fire, and the fierce mountain wind was full of the smell of smoke and blood.
The explosion continued, and Su Yin's heart came up to his throat.
It's not like the news of one or two hundred people. It must be something serious.
"Drive, drive!"
Su Yin galloped all the way to the place where the fire was burning, only to find that the place where Yuan Xi ambushed them was the highland on the hillside.
The bandits squatted in line in the trench, with stones, crossbows, fireguns and other weapons.
At this time, Yuan Xi took a thousand mile eye to investigate the enemy's situation in the trench. His eyes were as sharp as the blade of a knife. It was frightening.
Listening to the sound of horse's hooves behind him, Yuan Xi suddenly turned his head and looked at Su Yin and said, "what are you doing here? Don't you want to roast sheep at home?"
Su yinniao had no bird. He got off his horse and jumped into the trench. When he saw the dense crowd in the canyon, he was stunned.
Where are these 100 or 200 people? What are these 120 or 200000 people?
"What's the matter?" Slow down, she asked Yuan Xi.
Yuan Xi turned his eyelids: "how can I know what's going on? I've never seen so many people sneak in. "
After a meal, he said to Su, "general Su, I have a heartless invitation. Would you like it?"
Su Yin listened to him and said angrily, "if there is a fart, let it go!"
"Take the old and weak women and children in the stockade and tell the people at the foot of the mountain to leave immediately." Yuan Xi pause, hesitated for a long time before whispering: "we may... Not last long."
This is the first time he has shown weakness because of the great disparity in strength.
Su Yin didn't say a word. He snatched the thousand li eye in his hand. He saw that Fusang army was marching very fast. It was only two miles away from the mouth of the canyon.
And the entrance of the gorge is Qifeng mountain. Once it is broken, it can go straight to the capital.
Therefore, as a general of hussars, she could not go.
Immediately, Su Yin took out the token and handed it to Yuan Xi: "you immediately send someone to the foot of the mountain to find my deputy general, and ask him to send the cavalry of the post station to reinforce immediately. At the same time, 800 Li rushed to Beijing to dispatch troops."
"No!"
Countless voices called out at the same time. The bandits all turned to look at Su Yin with angry, alert and hostile eyes.
Su Yinshen said: "why not? Once the Fusang army breaks through Qifeng mountain, it can directly attack the capital of Beijing. Do you know how serious it is to have troops under the capital? "
Bareheaded and angry: "the dog emperor sends people to suppress bandits year after year. I wish it would frustrate us. I'm afraid you sent troops to destroy us first, right?"
"No, you're here to wipe us out, aren't you?"
"In charge, she was sent by the imperial court to arrest us and kill her. Anyway, I would rather die in the battlefield. "
"Me too. I'd rather die here than give in to the dog emperor."
"In charge, this woman can't stay!"
Su Yin did not expect that the bandits mentioned that the reaction of the imperial court was so great. She looked at Yuan Xi quietly: "Yuan Da is in charge, what do you mean?"
Yuan Xi thought for a long time and said, "general Su, we are always at odds with the imperial court. Take the old and weak women and children in the stockade with you. We will fight to the last moment and never shrink back."
It's only five or six hundred people. It's no doubt that a mantis can be used to fight against the next one or two hundred thousand troops. It's hard to say that it can be trampled into meat mud in a moment.
Su Yin looked at the old and young faces in the twilight. She didn't know any of them, but she saw the same look of death.
They are all mountain bandits hated by the imperial court. I didn't expect to have such arrogance.
So Su Yin stepped back a few steps and stood at the highest point. He looked around at all the bandits and said: "listen to me, I'll protect you. I'll protect your life with my head."
