Therefore, the land of Chu is located in Jiujiang County.
There is a barren mountain in the county. This mountain originally had no name, but since it was occupied by a group of thieves, it has been named Sankun Mountain.
Sankun Mountain, its real name is Sankun Mountain.
The eldest brother among the thieves was bald and looked like he had been tortured. And he was the third eldest child in his hometown, so he was called Sanbi.
This man took advantage of Qin's destruction of the six kingdoms and the chaos in Chu. He gathered a group of brothers who had no food to eat, occupied this barren mountain, and named it Sanjiao Mountain.
But the word "kun" didn't sound good, so they changed it to "Kun" in Kunlun.
In the past, Chu land was not peaceful, but Sankun Mountain was doing pretty well.
As long as there are troubled times, the ruling power of the government will decline. That creates a lot of gray areas and black areas.
Sankunshan, on the other hand, took advantage of the chaos and took control of several nearby villages and towns.
When it was most prosperous, six villages and towns paid taxes to Sankun Mountain. And Sankunshan promised to protect their safety.
At that time, Sankun felt that he had become the king here.
But the good times did not last long, and Xiang Liang's rebellion was put down.
Then the news in Chudi became more and more tense day by day, and the life in Sankun Mountain became more difficult every day.
The previous villages were all lost. Not only that, the imperial troops and horses in Shouchun City were also freed up to deal with the people on Sankun Mountain.
Now Sankunshan's territory is getting smaller day by day.
Once the imperial army and horses come, a lot of the minions on the mountain will die.
Even if the imperial army and horses did not come and the mountain was surrounded, they would not be able to get out at all. The mountain had long been out of food. They relied on digging wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger. Half of them were so hungry that they had no strength to walk.
Sankun frowned and wanted to drink to drown his sorrows, but there was no wine on the mountain. He could only drink spring water. The more he drank, the more uncomfortable he became.
One of his subordinates persuaded San Kun: "Brother, we really can't hold on any longer. Otherwise, let's surrender."
Sankun sneered: "Surrender? Will the court let us surrender? What will happen after we surrender?"
He took a sip of spring water and felt the cold chill rushing into his lungs: "The time to surrender has passed."
"In the past, when Xiang Liang was making trouble in the Chu region, if we surrendered, we might still be able to become officials."
"But it can't be done now. The Chu land has been pacified. The Qin people are fighting every step of the way, chasing us with no way to the sky and no way to the earth. We surrender now, but only one of us was caught and beheaded."
Sankun looked at his men: "Stay. If you stay on the mountain, you can live for a few more days. If you surrender, you will die immediately."
The men were silent.
He whispered: "Brother, what if we break out? Escape to another place."
Sankun sighed: "How to break out? We are already surrounded, where can we escape? A while ago, the real and fake Liu Ji incident has caused a big fuss, and Chudi's household registration is becoming more and more strict day by day. .”
"Those of us who don't have a formal trial, even if we escape, will still be caught and will be beheaded the next day."
The subordinate said with a grimace: "Are we going to die trapped here?"
Sankun said: "Perhaps, find a god to worship, it might work."
The subordinate seemed to see a glimmer of hope: "Does it really work?"
Sankun really wanted to kick this guy off the mountain: It doesn’t matter, will the gods protect us who are robbing our homes?
However, at this time, the military morale is weakened and there is nothing more to say. Sankun could only say casually: "Maybe it will be useful."
The subordinates asked again: "But who should we worship?"
Sankun was too lazy to talk to him.
The subordinate frowned and thought for a long time: "How about... we worship the banished immortal? I heard that the banished immortal is very effective. On the lonely mountain where King Kuaiji was besieged a few days ago, he finally survived by worshiping the banished immortal."
"We are also surrounded by a lonely mountain now. This situation is so similar to that of back then. If we..."
Before his subordinate finished speaking, Kunshan kicked him over: "Idiot. The banished immortal is from the imperial court. If we worship him, can he protect us?"
The subordinate was stunned for a moment: "This... seems to be right."
Sankun glanced at him and said helplessly: "Please pay homage to Chi You."
The subordinates nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, thank you Chi You."
The men left in a hurry. Sankun sat on a stone, frowning and thinking hard: "This is not a problem."
In fact, Sankun knew very well that the current situation was very dangerous.
For bandits, as long as the stronghold is breached, they will be killed. But for Sankun, he could die at any time.
It is said that the Qin army outside has said that if anyone can capture him Sankun and then surrender to the Qin people, he will be rewarded heavily.
Therefore, Sankun was wary of the Qin army outside and the bandits around him these days. He was being attacked from both sides.
what to do? what to do?
Sankun felt that a rope had been tied around his neck.
He has been thinking about it for two hours. While thinking, he drank water as a habit.
Two hours later, Sankun went to the convenience store.
With the sound of rushing water, the water flows lower and gushes down the mountain.
Suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he came up with a plan: Why don't I run away?
Indeed, if there is no verification after escaping, he will be caught sooner or later. But one more day counts as one more day.
But there is a problem in escaping. Sankun Mountain is now surrounded by people, and it is not that simple to leave.
But Sankun also thought of a way.
The next time the Qin soldiers attack the mountain, he will resist with all his strength and try his best to confuse the Qin soldiers and cause a chaotic battle.
When the fight was dark and no one could be found, he secretly stole a Qin soldier's body and then changed into Qin soldiers' clothes.
When the Qin soldiers were victorious and triumphant, he followed the Qin soldiers down the mountain and fled quietly.
Although Qin Bing will definitely count the number of people after the war and return to their respective teams. But as long as the timing is correct, there is a chance to survive.
When Sankun thought of this, his heart became brighter and brighter, and he saw the hope of living.
So, he made a lot of preparations.
When no one was around, Sankun would lock himself in the room and practice... taking off his clothes.
He took off his clothes faster and faster, and finally he could take off his coat in almost an instant.
Then he found another outfit similar to Qin Jun's outfit and began to practice getting dressed.
After practicing like this for three days, Sankun felt that practice made perfect.
And at this time, the opportunity came.
The Qin soldiers from Shouchun City came to attack the mountain again.
Sankun is overjoyed and has changed from the previous decline.
He hit all the old, weak, sick and disabled and said to them: "Everyone, our opportunity has come."
These bandits were all injured and had lost their fighting spirit for a long time. When San Kun said this, they all stared in confusion.
Sankun said with a smile: "A few days ago, we worshiped Chi You, and it worked."
The bandits asked: "What?"
Sankun said: "Last night I dreamed that Chi You entrusted me with a dream, saying that we would win this battle."
The bandits were all doubtful.
However, when someone is in a desperate situation and someone shouts that they will win, people can't help but believe it.
After Sankun finished injecting chicken blood, he asked people to take out all the edible food for everyone to have a full meal.
The bandits have not had enough to eat for a long time, and all the wild vegetables on the mountain have been dug up.
Even if there are some miscellaneous grains, they are reluctant to eat them, after all, they still have to live in the future.
But today...are we going to eat them all? After eating it all, what will you do in the future?
Sankun said confidently: "Don't worry, everyone, Chi You has already told me. We will win this battle. As long as we fight bravely and fearlessly, Chi You will help us secretly."
"We have eaten these things today, we are full and we have eaten them all. It doesn't matter, because we can rob the Qin people of their food."
The bandits all looked at San Kun with suspicion: "Can we defeat the Qin people? Can we also steal their food? This is simply unthinkable."
However, if we don’t eat, we won’t even be able to pick up weapons, let alone resist.
So...if you don't eat, you will be killed, but if you eat, you still have a chance. Then eat it.
So these people gobbled it up like crazy.
Sankun looked at them with a proud smile on his face.
Eat, eat, you can fight when you are full. Only when he is full can he engage in a melee with the Qin army. By then, Sankun will be able to fish in troubled waters.
He didn't tell anyone about this plan.
After all, if too many people know, it will be difficult to escape.
…………
Shouchun City's army has arrived at the foot of the mountain. The general leading the army was very worried.
This general's name is Li Dao, and he is Li Jian's cousin.
A few days ago, Li Dao received a secret letter from his cousin.
In the secret letter, Li Jian told him that if he wanted to fake defeat, he should not only fake defeat, but also lose food, clothes, armor, and weapons.
Li Dao always obeyed his cousin's advice, not to mention that his cousin also revealed that this strategy was related to whether Mr. Fusu could become the prince.
But the key point is...it's very difficult to cheat.
The suppression of thieves has been so successful recently. These bandits have been without food for a long time. They have no fighting spirit and will collapse at the first touch.
Li Dao wanted to release the water this time, but there was no water to release.
If the other party runs away, you can't run away too, right? Not only running away, but also throwing away the food? Is that too obvious? Will anyone notice anything?
Oh, it's difficult, it's really difficult.
When the scheduled time to attack the mountain came, the confidant next to him asked Li Dao: "General, should we send out sentries, send out flanks, send out..."
Li Dao shook his head: "No need, this group of thieves can't hold on anymore, let's save our energy."
The confidant was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "That's true. So let's attack the mountain now?"
Li Dao said: "That's not necessary. Let's transport the food and grass up first."
Confidant: "Huh?"
Food and grass are always at the back of the army, how can they be placed in front?
Li Dao saw the doubtful look in his confidant's eyes and sighed slightly in his heart: Sure enough, it can't be too obvious, otherwise it will definitely make people suspicious.
He coughed dryly and said: "What I mean is... bring enough food and set off with the army. This time we will fight steadily, set up camp, and capture this mountain in one fell swoop."
The confidant nodded repeatedly.
Li Dao then ordered the generals behind him: "This battle may take a long time, so you must bring enough food rations."
Everyone behind him agreed.
Okay, now that we have brought enough food, how can we fake defeat next?
Li Dao started to worry again.
The Qin army slowly attacked the top of the mountain.
The confidant suddenly said to Li Dao: "Sir, our army and horses have fought more than ten battles with bandits. Every battle is a victory. I think many soldiers have become arrogant."
"As the saying goes, a proud soldier will be defeated. If this continues, I'm afraid we will suffer a loss."
Li Dao was stunned and thought: Soldiers are very arrogant. This is a good thing. If we can win the battle, that would be the best.
So he smiled at his confidants and said, "It's okay, we're just dealing with a few bandits. If we have to be careful even with this, it will really lose our prestige."
The confidant laughed dryly: "That's true, that's true."
Soon, the Qin soldiers in front ran back and said to Li Dao: "General, there is a narrow and difficult mountain road ahead. Should we cross it quickly?"
Li Dao shook his head: "No, we can't act too hastily. We have to plan it slowly and steadily."
The confidant was stunned: Is this still going to be a steady and steady approach?
But then his confidant thought about it and realized that the other party was just a few bandits, so there was really no need to worry too much.
It has to be said that he has been affected by Li Dao's thinking.
When the large group of people were slowly crossing that mountain road, Li Dao suddenly smiled bitterly, and while laughing, he cursed the bandits in his heart. I can't seize such a good opportunity, and I have to think of ways to fake defeat. How can I fake defeat?
The confidant asked curiously: "Why is the general laughing?"
Li Dao said: "I laugh at the mountain bandits for their lack of strategy and their lack of wisdom."
"If they ambush a troop here and suddenly attack us while we are slowly passing by, wouldn't we be sure to die?"
The confidant was stunned and before he could speak, he suddenly heard a shout from the top of the mountain.
As expected, the bandits took the opportunity to attack.
Li Dao was overjoyed and thought: Great. Finally there was a reason to fake defeat.
He knew that these bandits had low combat effectiveness and would collapse at the first touch, so there was no life-threatening risk to them when they pretended to be defeated. Just throw away the food and leave after a while.
At the moment, his confidants were urging Li Dao to quickly send troops to fight the thieves, but Li Dao suddenly covered his heart and said, "No, my heart is aching, let's retreat quickly."
The confidant was anxious: "But there is already a battle ahead, we..."
Li Dao said: "The general's illness will definitely weaken the morale of the army. We must not take risks."
The confidant thought to himself: The general is really extremely cautious today.
The two of them talked about retreating, but no one took the thief on the top of the mountain seriously.
After all... they have already seen the strength of those thieves.
Not only did these two people not take it seriously, but neither did Qin Bing. They only regard this trip as a victory without any danger. As long as they harvest a wave of heads, they can go back to receive the reward.
But what no one expected was that today's bandits turned out to be exceptionally brave.
They shouted for Chi You and rushed down from the mountain like hungry tigers.
The Qin soldiers were dispersed before they could even prepare.
So the people above rolled and crawled to escape below, and the Qin army below suddenly crowded and moved downwards.
Like a mudslide, ten are wrapped in a hundred, and a hundred are wrapped in a thousand.
At the beginning, Li Dao was very happy and felt that the false defeat went smoothly.
But when he realized something was wrong, he could no longer stop the army.
Even the generals are fighting for an army, what's the difference between that and a group of sheep?
It's over now, and the false defeat has become a real defeat.
