Chapter 198 General
Hulu Mountain is located at the junction of Yuezhou, Xiguan Road and Shazhou, Tianshan Road. It was originally divided into three northwest roads. The boundary between Tianshan Road and Xiguan Road is based on Hulu Mountain.
Hulu Mountain is included in the territory of Xiguan Road. After passing Hulu Mountain, it is affiliated to the territory of Shazhou, Tianshan Road.
The mountains are steep and towering, and the mountains that are nearly a hundred miles long are undulating, lying on the earth. Hulu Mountain’s strange peaks are dangerous and cliffs are steep. At the beginning of autumn, the plants and trees are still green. From a distance, they look green and beautiful. But now everyone knows that Hulu Mountain is surrounded by a large number of bandits, and now it has formed a climate.
Within twenty miles of Hulu Mountain, it is difficult to see a village with tigers and wolves on the side. Naturally, the people did not dare to stay by Hulu Mountain. Back then, the people near Hulu Mountain relied on the mountains to eat, and there were a large number of hunters who made a living by hunting. When General Qiu occupied Hulu Mountain, most of the people did not dare to stay here, but a small number of hunters who had lived here went up the mountain and threw themselves under General Qiu's command and became bandits.
Sunset Peak is one of the six peaks of Hulu Mountain. The so-called six peaks are the six peaks with relatively high tiles between the ups and downs of Hulu Mountain. General Qiu built six villages around the six peaks.
The terrain of the Sunset Village is dangerous. If you want to enter the village, you must first pass through a stone wall made of huge stones. Although this stone wall is not long, it takes General Qiu a lot of manpower and material resources, and it is as solid as a rock.
General Qiu seemed to have long thought that one day the officers and soldiers would send troops to attack Hulu Mountain, so a large number of fortifications were built in each village in Hulu Mountain. The stone wall at Sunset Peak was the key point to resist the enemy. There was only one stone gate in and out. On the top of the wall, two soldiers would guard the narrow stone path passing outside the wall all day long.
The sun was shining brightly, and a few sounds were climbing up in the narrow stone path. The mountain minions on the wall saw someone coming from afar. There were two powerful crossbows on the wall. At this time, the two minions guarding the wall immediately pointed the powerful crossbows at the visitor and turned around and greeted him twice. Behind the wall, there were more than a dozen minions at all times. When they heard the reminder of their companions on the wall, they knew that someone was coming, and they all grabbed their weapons and were ready for the battle.
"Don't shoot arrows." The person who came shouted: "I am Fu Gang..."
The two people looked at each other, and soon, three figures approached the stone wall. The two minions could see clearly that the visitor was Fu Gang. Fu Gang was one of the patrol captains of the Sunset Village. Under General Qiu, each village had three patrol captains except for one peak master. When there was no enemy situation, the three captains each led a team of people. Under the arrangement of the peak master, they were responsible for the patrol affairs in the village. Once the battle began, the three captains were the second only to the peak master.
When Fu Gang arrived in front of the door, he looked very embarrassed. A minion on the wall said curiously: "Captain Fu, have you been captured by the officers and soldiers?"
Fu Gang cursed angrily: "Stop talking nonsense, open the door quickly."
The person on the wall saw that there was indeed no one behind him, so he immediately signaled the person to open the door. As soon as the three of them entered the village, the stone gate was immediately closed.
The bandits surrounded him and said in surprise: "Captain Fu, several brothers escaped and said you were captured by the officers and soldiers..."
"Those officers and soldiers are just a group of wine bags." Fu Gang sneered: "The three of us killed the guards and finally escaped. By the way, how many people have escaped?"
After entering the cave, the Lord of Sunset Peak was already waiting. When he saw Fu Gang and the other two coming over, he led the three of them in. The cave was like a maze. After turning east and west, it took him half a day to enter a wide hall. The surroundings were decorated very gorgeously. If you were in it, you would not feel like you were in the cave.
On the right side of the wall, there is a stone platform with a large chair covered with tiger skins. Under the chair, several leopard skins are connected together until the steps.
There are lamp posts around the cave, which are brightly lit and bright as daytime.
The master of the peak led the three of them to stand carefully under the steps. There was silence everywhere. General Qiu was not seen, but the four of them dared not speak. After a moment, they heard the sound of footsteps. Fu Gang looked over and saw a person slowly walking out from the side. The man was wearing a pair of black leather trousers, shiny and shiny, naked, with a tiger body as flesh as iron, tall and strong, and his skin was dark. Under the light of fire, it was shining with a dark luster. Every inch of his skin seemed to contain infinite power. Sweat beads were flowing on his dark skin.
He was like a powerful lion, with the bun on his head woven into a thick and long braid, coiled around his neck, looking very strange.
However, there was an iron mask on his face, only two eyes were exposed, and his eyes were extremely bright.
"General!" The Lord of the Sunset Peak was the first to bow and salute, and Fu Gang and the other two hurriedly fell to the ground.
General Qiu, who was naked like a lion, slowly walked onto the stone platform, sat down on the chair, leaned forward, and raised his hand and said, "All up, I was practicing qigong just now, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Several people were busy and said they didn't dare.
General Qiu asked straight to the point: "Fu Gang, I heard from Lord Zhao Feng say, did you escape from the government?"
Fu Gang hurriedly said yes, lowered his head and did not dare to look at General Qiu.
"I heard from Lord Zhao Feng that you saw the officers and soldiers being mobilized. They are preparing to attack my Hulu Village?" General Qiu's voice was low and majestic. It was difficult to hear what he thoughts from his voice.
Fu Gang hurriedly said, "This is when the guards heard the officers and soldiers mentioned it, and then they saw that the officers and soldiers were transferred, so they guessed so much, and the subordinates were not sure."
General Qiu said: "In addition to hearing that they were going to send troops to attack my Hulu Village, do you also hear other useful news?"
Fu Gang shook his head, then looked up and said, "General, his subordinates were taken into the county town by officers and soldiers. I heard them say that Chu Huan, the governor of Xiguan Road, is in the county town..."
"Oh?" General Qiu's eyes were like lightning, "Chu Huan is not in Shuoquan, has come to the county town?"
"That's right." Fu Gang said with great certainty: "It's in Songyuan County, less than a hundred miles away from it, and it's coming every day... General, if they didn't have ulterior motives, why would Chu Huan come to Songyuan County in person?"
General Qiu thoughtful and did not speak.
At this moment, a gloomy voice heard: "Fu Gang, Lord Zhao Feng said, on your way back, you saw officers and soldiers mobilizing soldiers in various counties?"
Amid the voice of the words, a man appeared from the side like a ghost, with light steps and a long robe. He was not very handsome, but his eyes were very gloomy.
