Although Zhao Fuchun was in his prime when he died, for some reason he had white hair and an old look. He must have experienced something that made him mentally and physically exhausted before his death...
When he saw Song Jiang in front of him, he looked confused at first, but then he knelt down on one knee and said loudly, "The last general, Zhao Fuchun, pays homage to the middle general!"
Song Jiang was stunned for a moment after hearing this, thinking that Zhao Fuchun's mind was indeed not normal. In what way did he look like a lieutenant general? But he did not expose it, but said in a deep voice, "General Zhao, please get up quickly, the Holy Lord... It is not convenient for you to come here to see you, so you sent me here to find out why you want to see the Holy Lord?" "
After hearing this, Zhao Fuchun not only did not stand up, but instead knelt down on his knees and said in a deep voice, "I would like to ask General Zhonglang to report to the Holy Lord, asking him to use his power to save my people..."
"Your people? Who are your people?!" Song Jiang asked doubtfully.
Zhao Fuchun said with a heavy face, "They are the soldiers who have been with me through life and death, my brothers... Over the past thousands of years, I have searched almost every corner of the Yinsi, but there is no trace of these three thousand soldiers. As the old saying goes, I want to see people alive and dead, but I can’t even find their souls when I chase them to the underworld.”
Although Song Jiang didn't know what happened, he also heard that Zhao Fuchun had been refusing to reincarnate because he was always looking for the ghosts of his missing soldiers, so he stepped forward to help him up and said, "General Zhao... …Can you tell me the whole story in detail?!”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Fuchun immediately said with gratitude on his face, "Of course you can, the general will never ask for more..."
Then Zhao Fuchun told the "Zhonglang General" in his eyes everything that happened that year... It turned out that just a thousand years ago, Zhao Fuchun, who had been promoted to General Zhongwu, was sent by the then emperor. To guard the border, he was also ordered to find the royal treasure lost in the border area.
But what Zhao Fuchun didn't expect was that when he and his men were searching for the royal secret treasure, they encountered strong resistance from the local "Rihan tribe". It turned out that the so-called royal secret treasure that Zhao Fuchun and the others were looking for was the sacred object of the Rihan tribe. It is absolutely impossible to give up.
Although Zhao Fuchun felt in his heart that it was a bit unethical to rob the Rihan tribe's holy relics, but it was hard to disobey the emperor's order, so he had to be ruthless and make the other party hand over the holy relics to save his life...
Unexpectedly, the Rihan people are tough by nature and will never bow their heads. They are not afraid of Zhao Fuchun's strong troops. Unfortunately, after a few battles, more than half of the Rihan people were killed or injured. During this period, Zhao Fuchun tried to send an envoy to persuade the other party's clan leader, Harisan, that as long as they were willing to hand over the sacred objects, this unequal war would stop immediately. At the same time, he would also convince their emperor to provide funds to help the Rihan people to cultivate and live. Quickly rehabilitate the population that died in the war.
But Harisang rejected the envoy's conditions without thinking, and asked him to go back and warn Zhao Fuchun, "If they don't withdraw their troops as soon as possible, they will suffer the cruelest curse of the mountain god, and their souls will be trapped in a cage forever and become slaves of the mountain god." "
As a powerful party, Zhao Fuchun did not take the words of the patriarch Harisang to heart at all. He felt that this was the other party's last struggle and wanted to use this to intimidate him. This would make it clear that Harisang was at the end of his rope.
In addition, the emperor of the current dynasty once again sent a decree, ordering Zhao Fuchun to retrieve the royal secret treasure before the Qingming Festival, otherwise military law will be engaged! Zhao Fuchun had no choice but to continue attacking the Rihan tribe, but what he didn't expect was that Harisang's warning finally came true.
The battle at that time was extremely brutal. Of course, it was mainly due to the unilateral violence of the Rihan tribe. There were very few adult men left in the tribe. In the end, the tribe leader Harisan had to lead the remaining tribesmen to run in. He went into the mountains to avoid the pursuit of Zhao Fuchun's men.
From Zhao Fuchun's point of view, victory in that battle was only a matter of time. All he had to do was drive the dogs into the back alleys and give them two choices, either hand over the sacred objects and spare their entire family from death; or they would be exterminated. After that, the holy object naturally fell into his own hands.
But Zhao Fuchun forgot the second half of the sentence of "driving a dog into an alley", that is, "there will be a backlash." The huge disparity in strength between the two sides made Zhao Fuchun underestimate the enemy. He did not even lead the troops himself, but sent His cronies Liu Da and Cai Sheng led three thousand soldiers into the mountain, preparing to completely end this unequal war...
The reason why Zhao Fuchun asked Liu Da and Cai Sheng to lead the troops was actually for his own selfish reasons. He wanted these two to get the first prize, so that when he returned, he could collect some rewards for them in front of the emperor...
Unexpectedly, while Zhao Fuchun was waiting for the news of victory, the teams of Liu Da and Cai Sheng disappeared silently... Even though Zhao Fuchun later turned the mountain upside down, there was still not a single person there. could not find it.
His own people could not be found, and the Rihan people who ran into the mountains also mysteriously disappeared. Zhao Fuchun believed that all this must be related to Harisang's warning that day... But no one believed his words at all, especially the emperor. He insisted that Liu Da and Cai Sheng must have become greedy after getting the royal treasure, and fled with the team with the secret treasure.
But others believe this, but Zhao Fuchun does not. First of all, he trusts Liu Da and Cai Sheng very much. Although the three of them are superiors and subordinates, they get along like brothers on weekdays, and their relationship has always been very good...
Furthermore, these two people have a long history. I wonder what man in his right mind would leave his parents, wife and children behind just to run away for a royal treasure that no one knows the use of? !
Moreover, Zhao Fuchun went into the mountain several times to look for people afterwards. Even if Liu Da and Cai Sheng really ran away, they couldn't have flown away with three thousand troops, right? ! There must be some traces left on the ground, right?
But the strange thing is that there are only traces of the team entering the mountain on the mountain, as if they disappeared out of thin air after entering the deep mountain... And the situation of the Rihan people who disappeared together is similar, they only have the footprints of entering the mountain but not going down. .
Zhao Fuchun was worried about this all day long. He was not worried about being blamed for not getting the royal secret treasure, but he couldn't figure out where his three thousand soldiers and two good brothers had gone. !
One day, Zhao Fuchun was thinking about it all day long and dreaming about it at night. He actually saw Liu Da and Cai Sheng in his dream. But what made people feel strange was that in the dream, the seven orifices of Liu and Cai were covered by Feng stood motionless in front of a temple, and behind them were the three thousand soldiers. The situation looked exactly the same as that of Liu and Cai...
