Although Luo Sun Village has not been finally captured, all the other villages in Hulu Mountain were controlled by the officers and soldiers. In addition to the prisoners who became bandits, each village also had hundreds of families of bandits.

These families are mainly family members of the big and small leaders, but only the elderly, weak, women and children. Chu Huan naturally would not make things difficult for these people, and he would temporarily settle them and wait until he went back to settle them. As for those captured bandits, they would be enclosed and imprisoned, and officers and soldiers were allowed to guard them. Not many of them remained behind in each village, and many of them died in the war. Only four or five hundred people were killed in other villages. However, when they fought at the foot of the Sunset Village, they captured a large number of prisoners of war.

While Chu Huan was in charge of prisoners of war, he was splitting his troops to search for the materials stored in Hulu Village. Chu Huan had thought before that a bandit nest would not have much money. When the collected materials were transported to the foot of the mountain, Chu Huan realized that the materials stored in Hulu Village were far beyond his imagination.

In addition to the ordnances and horses, there were actually piles of food stored on the mountain.

There are many types of military ordnances, long spears, short swords, bent armor, and piles of arrows piled up at the foot of the mountain, like a mountain. In addition, there were also a large number of gold and silver finances, piled up in boxes. The soldiers did not expect that they would gain such a harvest. They were all very surprised. Chu Huan saw the piles of materials found at the foot of the mountain, and was not happy but surprised.

If gold, silver, wealth and food and grass can be obtained by robbing everywhere, where did so many weapons and horses come from?

The military equipment of Hulu Village is enough to equip tens of thousands of people. This is certainly a great gain, but it is also a great evil intention. If Hulu Village had not been destroyed this time, in another year and a half, the Hulu Village will be even more powerful. With such abundant strategic materials, the government would probably have to exhaust its efforts just to deal with such a force.

Everything in front of me was shocking, and Chu Huan couldn't help but feel a chill. He thought this time was really a lucky person. He used Fu Gang's chess piece to design and take down Hulu Village, otherwise the consequences would be really unimaginable.

While checking supplies with everyone, I suddenly heard a fast horse galloping over and one person turned over and dismounted. Chu Huan saw that it was Xu Shao. When he saw Xu Shao coming quickly, he bowed and said, "Sir!"

Chu Huan asked: "Have you searched all villages for clean searches? Are there any places you haven't searched for?"

"I'm still searching." Xu Shao said: "Sir, I will take you to see someone."

"One person?" Chu Huanqi said: "Who is?"

"Sir, you will definitely be interested." Xu Shao's eyes flashed with a hint of excitement.

When Chu Huan saw the person Xu Shao wanted to meet, it was a little puzzled. The person Xu Shao brought was not a burly man, a graceful scholar, or a beauty who was ashamed of the moon, but an old woman.

The old woman dressed simply and had white hair. She looked over 60 years old. The years were covered with vicissitudes of life on her forehead. When the old woman saw Chu Huan, she was not afraid and very calm.

Chu Huan was a little confused, and Xu Shao was already saying in Chu Huan's ear: "Sir, this is Lu Cunxiao's mother."

Chu Huan was stunned and looked at the old woman several times. Although she was old, Chu Huan could see that the old woman had a big skeleton and must have been a strong woman when she was young.

But Chu Huan vaguely felt that this old woman was different from an ordinary old woman. She was not like an ordinary old woman when walking. She looked very well-educated, so she didn't seem to be from a small family.

"Old man, I am Chu Huan, the governor of Xiguan Road." Chu Huan looked kind and smiled, "It scared you."

Lu's mother looked at Chu Huan a few times and said in an old voice: "Everyone says you are a good official, but why do you want to help the court harm people?"

This sentence was inexplicably said, Chu Huan smiled softly and asked, "Why did the old man say this?"

"The emperor did not let the people survive. He was either tortured by those corrupt officials after dying in a war, and some were starved to death...!" Lu's mother said slowly: "They all said that after Governor Chu came to Xiguan, they did a lot of good things, but... why did you fight Hulushan? These are all righteous men who resisted the tyrannical Qin..."

"Resist the tyrant Qin?" Chu Huan frowned slightly, "Old man, do you mean that the people in Hulushan are all righteous men who resist the court?"

Lu's mother said without hesitation: "Of course. In our village, we were exploited by corrupt officials and the taxes were getting heavier every year. Later, we took the young and strong men to fight. How many people went away and were defeated? The people of Xiliang came in. Where did the court go? We endured exploitation and wanted to survive. However, the people of Xiliang fought over, and the soldiers did not protect us. We were displaced. The officials said that the court would send food soon and would not let us starve to death, but in the end... how many people were starved to death?"

Chu Huan sighed and asked, "Old man, why are you going up the mountain?"

"The court does not allow us to survive, we always have to think about living." Lu's mother looked at each other, "General Qiu resisted Qin and was very kind to the people. People in several of our villages would starve to death. General Qiu sent people to give us food. He wanted to overthrow the tyrannical Qin. Xiao'er and the young and middle-aged people who were still alive in several nearby villages all went up the mountain to help General Qiu fight the court."

Chu Huan said "Oh" and asked back, "Old man think General Qiu is a good person?"

Lu's mother smiled faintly and said, "In your eyes, he is of course a bad person."

Chu Huan hesitated for a moment and finally said, "Old man, do you know that General Qiu broke through and fled alone regardless of his brothers. Now your son Lu Cunxiao led thousands of people to guard the Sunset Village, and they couldn't last long."

Lu's mother seemed to think of something and smiled and said, "You want to use me as a hostage to threaten Xiao'er's surrender?" She shook her head, "You don't have to worry about this. Although Xiao'er is filial, she also knows what big troubles are. He will only fight you to the end and will never surrender because of me."

Chu Huan smiled bitterly and said, "The old man seems to have a prejudice against the government, but don't worry, I still disdain for such a despicable thing. If you want, I can let you meet Lu Cunxiao now."

Lu's mother was stunned, obviously not expecting Chu Huan to say this.

"But before that, I want to take the old man to a place first." Chu Huan said with a solemn expression: "The old man is a person who knows right and wrong. I think after you have seen it, you will know what big right and wrong is."

Lu's mother was a little confused.

Chu Huan personally brought Lu's mother to Piaoxiang Peak. Lu's mother was over 60 years old and naturally could not climb on the mountain, so Chu Huan specially asked several strong soldiers to carry chairs up the mountain.

Lu's mother didn't know what Chu Huan sold in the gourd for a moment. Although she was confused, she was not afraid.

Outside the cave, Chu Huan asked someone to let go of his son and personally helped Lu's mother into the cave. "Old man, I shouldn't have taken you to see these things, but if you want to talk about right and wrong, I can only bring you here to see what you said about the good man General Qiu did."

...

...

Sunset Village.

Although he was trapped in the Sunset Peak, Lu Cunxiao did not compromise and never thought of surrendering to the officers and soldiers. The failed bandits returned to the Sunset Peak Mountain. Lu Cunxiao immediately divided the bandits into two groups, one guarding the stone wall, and the other guarding the mountain road to the death.

Luo Sun Village has a small arsenal, which stores a lot of weapons, but there is no grain storage. There is not much food left on the mountain. Nearly two thousand people have to eat, but the food on the mountain can't last for a few days.

When he heard that General Qiu had already broken through, Lu Cunxiao did not blame General Qiu for leaving everyone alone. Instead, he felt that General Qiu could break through and there would be a chance to make a comeback in the future.

The Lord Zhao Feng of the Sunset Village was originally a capable general under General Qiu, but when he broke through the siege, he was the leader and had already died in battle. General Qiu was no longer there and there was no leader in the group. Lu Cunxiao was willing to take on the responsibility of leading everyone.

The six peak masters, Quan Peak Lord, were killed by Qiu Ruxue, and the other peak master died in the battle between Zhao Feng and another peak master. In addition to Lu Cunxiao, two other peak masters retreated to the Sunset Village alive. The two of them had nothing to do with Lu Cunxiao leading the people. At this time, they only demanded to live and command the bandits, which was only under pressure and was not beneficial.

Moreover, Lu Cunxiao is the number one general in Hulu Village except General Qiu. It is natural that he will replace General Qiu to lead everyone.

All the weapons in the arsenal were moved out and they were about to go to the stone wall and the mountain road. Lu Cunxiao was determined to fight to the last moment, even if he was really trapped to death and starved to death in the end, he would have to survive to the last moment.

The injuries on his body have been simply treated and bandaged. Although he lost too much blood and was exhausted all over, he still set up the defense himself, even inspected the wounded and bandaged them.

The officers and soldiers had not attacked. On the tower of the Sunset Village, he could even see officers and soldiers transporting supplies from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain. In the open space at the foot of the mountain, the materials were piled up like a mountain. Lu Cunxiao gritted his teeth and his heart was like a knife. These were all material reserves for resisting the tyrannical Qin. Now that they were captured by the officers and soldiers, the road to resisting the tyrannical Qin would be even more difficult.

After two days of perseverance, Lu Cunxiao found some time to rest, leaned against a large stone beside the narrow mountain road, squinted his eyes and rested for a while.

Perhaps he was too tired, and I don’t know how long he had slept in this sleep. It was not until someone called him softly that he woke up from his dream. He grabbed his big knife like a conditioned reflex, stood up suddenly, and asked, “What’s wrong? Are the officers and soldiers coming over?”

The minion shook his head quickly and said, "It's not an officer or soldier, it's... an old man..."

When Lu Cunxiao heard that it was not the officers and soldiers who came over, he breathed a sigh of relief, then he recovered and said in a strange way: "Old man? What old man?"

"Master Lu Feng, the officers and soldiers came over." The minion replied: "It's an old woman with white hair, coming from there, I don't know what she is going to do."

Lu Cunxiao held the big sword, walked over, turned a small path, and came to the edge of the mountain path. On this side of the mountain path, the bandits had already imitated the appearance of officers and soldiers, and built a half-person-high barrier with stones on the road. The bandits were guarding behind the barrier. When they saw Lu Cunxiao coming, the bandits dodged a road. A few minions in front turned around and saw Lu Cunxiao and immediately shouted: "Boss Lu, it's... your mother!"

These people all followed Lu Cunxiao up the mountain, and they were together before going up the mountain, and they came out of the same village and were very familiar with Lu Cunxiao and his son.

Lu Cunxiao had already walked to the barrier at this time and saw an old woman wearing coarse cloth clothes and white hair on the mountain road slowly walking towards this side. The figure was extremely familiar and shouted: "Mom..."
