At night, the mountains are red and green, and there is a hustle and bustle of shouting and shouting in the camp, and the bonfire illuminates the entire camp.
Countless people from all walks of life gathered in the camp, eating wine and meat together in small groups. It was very lively. The noise could be clearly heard for miles around, and people came to vote from time to time.
At the same time, in the main camp, a group of key personnel from Hongqingshan gathered together.
The first one is a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar with an elegant temperament, a goatee and a kind face. He is Zhao Wenyuan, the leader of Hongqingshan.
"Brothers, now that the imperial army has arrived, I wonder what you guys think."
Zhao Wenyuan looked around at everyone and said.
"According to reliable information, the army sent by the imperial court this time is the Tiance Army, the new imperial army built by the imperial court last year. The Tiance Army has a total of 20,000 people. The leader is none other than Bai Yuxian, who has become famous all over the world in the past two years. According to legend, although this person He is young but has outstanding civil and military skills. He is a rare unicorn talent in the world."
"Currently, the Tiance Army has arrived at Xiangzhou City and is expected to arrive at Hongqingshan in another five or six days. For Hongqingshan and us, this battle may not be easy."
As soon as Zhao Wenyuan finished speaking, a tall, rugged, black-faced man with a beard and a voice like an old bull shouted wildly.
"A mere 20,000 soldiers and horses are of no concern. Previously, Liu Funan led 30,000 soldiers and horses, but they were all killed by my more than 10,000 Hongqingshan brothers. What's more, now there are as many as 70,000 of our Hongqingshan brothers. Everyone, are you still afraid that his new Tiance Army of only 20,000 people will fail?"
"And that Bai Yuxian is just a kid with a yellow mouth. No matter how famous he is, no matter how capable he is, I think he is probably just a person seeking fame and reputation. Why should I be afraid of him? If he dares to come, brother, you only need to give me 10,000 yuan. Soldiers and horses, I, Hong Kui, promise to kill him without leaving any trace behind."
The big man who spoke was none other than Hong Kui, the second most elite general among the eighteen elite generals in Hongqingshan.
Hong Kui has a high horse and great natural strength, and his martial arts cultivation has reached the fourth level of martial arts Xuangang. In terms of personal strength alone, he can rank among the top three in today's Hongqingshan.
In addition, Hong Kui had performed outstandingly in defeating Liu Funan's army before, so Hong Kui was extremely proud and arrogant now, and he didn't care at all about the arrival of Bai Yuxian and Tiance Army.
"What the second brother said is true. In the past, the imperial court's 30,000 soldiers and horses were killed by more than 10,000 of my Hong Qingshan brothers. Now they only have 20,000 Tiance troops, and my Hong Qingshan brothers have already reached 70,000 people. Why fear?" His Tiance Army and a White Jade Immortal."
Hearing Hong Kui's words, other main members of Hongqingshan present also agreed.
With the surge in numbers and power in Hongqingshan during this period and the previous victory over Liu Funan's army, the morale of the entire Hongqingshan was unprecedentedly high.
So although everyone has now learned about the arrival of the Tiance Army, no one in the entire Hongqing Mountain is worried at all.
Even Zhao Wenyuan, as the leader, said that this battle would not be easy and praised Bai Yuxian, but it was just to stimulate everyone's fighting spirit, because he knew that all these people in the world were basically arrogant. , Those who have their eyes above their heads will not give in easily.
In fact, deep down in Zhao Wenyuan's heart, Zhao Wenyuan didn't pay much attention to the arrival of Tiance Army and Bai Yuxian this time.
Although Bai Yuxian is famous, in his opinion, he is just lucky enough to be appreciated by the emperor. Even if a child with a yellow mouth really has some skills, what can he do? Besides, his troops in Hongqingshan now number up to 70,000. Isn't it possible that everyone can't deal with a mere 20,000 Tiance troops?
The advantage is mine.
This is what Zhao Wenyuan is thinking at this moment, and it is a huge advantage.
"If you ask me, there are so many of us brothers, and the imperial court is unkind and wants to deal with us. Let's just raise a flag and rebel against the imperial court. Let's forget it and see what the imperial court can do to us." Hong Kui said again.
Zhao Wenyuan was immediately frightened when he heard this and hurriedly stopped him.
"My dear brother, please don't talk nonsense. We and our brothers are gathered here just to rob the rich, give to the poor, help the people, and deal with corrupt officials and those landlords who are unkind for the sake of wealth. We are not here to go against the imperial court."
Although now as the leader of Hongqingshan, the entire Hongqingshan has become more and more powerful, but Zhao Wenyuan knows one thing, that is, if he really dares to directly raise a flag to declare rebellion, there will be no place for him to die.
Nowadays, what they are doing in Hongqingshan is at best a gathering of people to cause chaos. As long as they do not declare rebellion and raise flags, there is still room for relaxation in many things. However, if they dare to directly declare rebellion, there will be absolutely no room for relaxation. The court and the emperor will definitely want to Kill them completely.
And with the current strength of the Tang Dynasty, even though there are so many people like them, rebellion is definitely seeking death.
Therefore, from the beginning to the end, Zhao Wenyuan never thought about starting a rebellion. What he really wanted in his heart was to gather people to accomplish something, and then let the imperial court order him to be safe.
As the saying goes, the golden belt is used to kill people and set fire. When people gather together to accomplish something, they receive an imperial edict.
Using the red and green mountains to gather people to accomplish something and then getting the imperial court to order him to be safe is Zhao Wenyuan's true purpose deep in his heart.
After hearing what Zhao Wenyuan said, Hong Kui curled his lips in displeasure. He felt that Zhao Wenyuan was a little too timid and too respectful of the court. In his opinion, there were so many of them now, and if they directly rebelled against the court, what could they do to them.
The other people all had different expressions. Although they were gathered here, they were still hesitant and worried if they really wanted to rebel.
"The top priority for our brothers is to deal with the Tiance Army."
Zhao Wenyuan spoke again, and everyone nodded and said nothing else.
"I wonder if the military advisor has any strategies to defend against the enemy."
Zhao Wenyuan looked at Qin Yuniang who had been silent for a long time.
Qin Yuniang looks about thirty years old. She is dressed in a red dress. She has a tall and graceful figure, a mature and plump figure, and an outstanding face. She has fair and delicate skin and a delicate and charming face. She looks like a mature woman. Peach, her whole body exudes the charm of a mature woman, but her cold and sharp eyes under her willow eyebrows add a bit of heroism and coldness.
Looking at Qin Yuniang, Zhao Wenyuan couldn't help but have a flash of heat in his eyes. Qin Yuniang is not only outstanding in martial arts, but also intelligent and beautiful. It can be said that she combines beauty, strength, and wisdom. There are absolutely few women like her in the world. Men don't want it.
Zhao Wenyuan had already had thoughts about Qin Yuniang.
And not only Zhao Wenyuan, but also many other people in Hongqingshan had thoughts about Qin Yuniang.
However, Qin Yuniang has always been polite to everyone and does not give them a chance. Apart from normal daily conversations, Qin Yuniang keeps a distance in private and does not give them a chance.
In addition, Qin Yuniang's own strength is already a master of the martial arts Xuangang Realm, so although many people are jealous of Qin Yuniang on weekdays, even if they have malicious intentions, they dare not do any dirty tricks.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Qin Yuniang asked the maid behind her to take out a map and spread it out.
"Xiangzhou City is five hundred miles away from Hongqing Mountain. This place is called Tiger Leaping Gorge. It is about two hundred miles away from Hongqing Mountain and about three hundred miles away from Xiangzhou City. It is the only way from Xiangzhou City to Hongqing Mountain. .”
"The canyon of Tiger Leaping Gorge is deep and has two steep walls, with a total length of several miles. It can be said to be the best place to set up an ambush. As long as we arrive at Tiger Leaping Gorge in advance and set up ambush on the mountains on both sides of Tiger Leaping Gorge, when Tiance's army enters, we will then attack from both sides of the mountain. You can catch turtles in an urn by rolling down large rocks, and Tiger Leaping Gorge is still two hundred miles away from our Hongqing Mountain, and ordinary people would never easily imagine that we would go to a place two hundred miles away to set up an ambush here."
Qin Yuniang pointed to the location of Tiger Leaping Gorge on the map.
She had already thought about this plan after learning about the arrival of Tiance Army.
Setting up an ambush at Tiger Leaping Gorge, as long as Tiance's army is careless, it will be a turtle in the urn.
Moreover, Tiger Leaping Gorge is two hundred miles away from Hongqing Mountain. Most people would never think that they would go that far to set up an ambush. In addition, the Tiance Army is a new army and they may not know the geography of Xiangzhou.
With so many factors, they definitely have a high chance of success in setting up an ambush in Tiger Leaping Gorge. Once successful, they can defeat Tiance's army in one fell swoop.
Everyone present in Hongqingshan suddenly brightened up after hearing this. Zhao Wenyuan immediately looked at Qin Yuniang and said with a smile.
"This is a clever plan by the military advisor. The Bai Yuxian never dreamed that we, Hong Qingshan, would set up an ambush in the Tiger Leaping Gorge two hundred miles away. In this case, we will let the Bai Yuxian come and go in the Tiger Leaping Gorge."
Qin Yuniang smiled and said nothing more, and she was not very happy in her heart, because she had been thinking about whether to leave Hongqingshan during this period of time.
She came to Hongqingshan because she had no choice but to hear that Zhao Wenyuan was a kind and righteous person, and the people in Hongqingshan were also benevolent and righteous people who robbed the rich and gave to the poor.
But since coming to Hongqingshan, especially during this period, Qin Yuniang has clearly realized that Zhao Wenyuan is not a benevolent and righteous person, and most of the people in Hongqingshan are not benevolent and righteous people. The so-called robbing the rich and giving to the poor is nothing more than It's nothing more than robbing others' wealth to feed one's own poverty.
The most important thing is that during this period, in order to increase the power of Hongqingshan, Zhao Wenyuan wanted anyone who came to join him, including those who committed murder, arson, rape, rape, and other evil deeds.
This has also led to the fact that the people below Hongqingshan are now more mixed, good and evil, and often do evil things.
This is seriously inconsistent with Qin Yuniang's original intention of joining Hongqingshan. Therefore, although Hongqingshan is becoming more and more powerful, Qin Yuniang's heart towards Hongqingshan is getting colder and colder.
There are many people who have similar thoughts to Qin Yuniang, such as Li Sanlang, Sun Wuzhou, etc.
Although they came to Hongqingshan, most of them were forced to do anything. They came to Hongqingshan with the intention of committing crimes and committing crimes everywhere. However, in Hongqingshan today, with the increase in the number of people from all walks of life, people from all walks of life have come to surrender. It is already a smoky atmosphere, and all kinds of evil deeds of burning, killing, looting and looting are being committed below, which is seriously inconsistent with their true intentions.
However, if they leave Hongqingshan directly, Qin Yuniang and others are also a little worried and hesitant. After all, they have already boarded the Hongqingshan ship. If they stay in Hongqingshan, they can at least be protected by the Hongqingshan ship. But if they leave Hongqingshan, they will It is equivalent to giving up the protection of the Hongqingshan ship. From now on, I am afraid that I will be on the run and be wanted by the court for the rest of my life.
Early the next morning, Zhao Wenyuan sent his four elite generals Hong Kui, Wu Yu, Li Sanlang, and Sun Wuzhou to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses from Hongqingshan. He also appointed Qin Yuniang as the military advisor to set up an ambush in Tiger Leaping Gorge.
Outside Xiangzhou City at the same time.
As soon as the fish belly white appeared on the horizon, Bai Yuxian had already ordered the Tiance army to set off and rushed directly to Hongqing Mountain.
