Chapter 705 Wanting to cross the chessboard, the origin of Ximu

Luo Zhang lowered his head slightly when Luo Tong said it, silently, feeling quite embarrassed in front of the generals. But he had no choice but to say that he was his son.

"General Luo is very much!" Xue Dingshan looked at the generals and said seriously: "Before, Mr. Cheng told me that when he was passing by Qipan Mountain back to Beijing, he was invited by Dou Yihu on the chessboard, and he had a little friendship. The Dou Yihu brother and sister are not ordinary people. Therefore, we must not be careless when we pass by Qipan Mountain this time."

As soon as Xue Dingshan finished speaking, Li Luanhu, wearing golden armor, curled up a disdainful curve of his mouth and said aloud: "The marshal is so timid, and it will be so troublesome to pass a small Qipan Mountain. When will he go to Suoyang City to save the emperor? The last general is willing to lead a team of people and lead the way first, and meet the Dou Yihu brothers and sisters. If they are really so bold and dare to stop the imperial army, it is a rebellion. If they are killed, they will be punished."

"Young mouth boy, I don't know what it means!" Cheng Yaojin snorted and scolded bluntly: "Li Luanhu, marching and fighting is not a joke. The terrain on the chessboard is dangerous, and it can be said that one man should be a pass, and if he breaks through, how many people will be lost and how much time will be delayed? Once the army is trapped here and it will take time, the emperor in Suoyang City, Marshal Xue and the imperial court will have more dangers in the west. Can you afford this responsibility?"

When Li Luanhu heard this, a cold look flashed in his eyes with a slightly dark face, and he said coldly: "I think, Mr. Cheng was frightened by those bandits last time on Qipan Mountain? Mr. Cheng praised those bandits like this and said how powerful they were, it would be a bit ridiculous."

"Li Luanhu. Ignorance child, how dare you talk to me like this?" Cheng Yaojin glared and angrily when he heard this.

Above the main position, Xue Dingshan, with a frown slightly frowning, couldn't help but shout: "Okay! Mr. Cheng, General Li, we are all in the army, and we should work together and support each other. How can we fight for the sake of some trivial matters?"

"Old Qiansui is steady and capable. She is well-planned and has a reasonable opinion. General Li advocates the power of the army to shock the little ones with the power of the thunder of the army, which is not unreasonable." Then Xue Dingshan said slowly: "Let's do it! Cheng Qiansui, since you have had something to do with the Dou Yihu brother and sister last time, I will send you to talk about the bride. It is also considered that we pass by someone's doorstep and say hello. The so-called courtesy first and then the army. If they are willing to let us go politely, then it's easy to say. Otherwise, we can only let them see the thunder and majesty of the imperial army."

As he said that, Xue Dingshan directly ordered: "General Li, go and rectify the troops. Once the Dou Yihu brother and sister are ungrateful, we will send troops to the mountains to suppress the bandits."

"Yes!" Li Luanhu, who responded coldly, stood up and left with a slight flash of eyes.

Looking at Li Luanhu's departure back, Cheng Yaojin, who snorted coldly, couldn't help but turn to Xue Dingshan and smile helplessly: "Dingshan! You really know how to torture me like this old bone! It's hard to go up the chessboard. The Dou Yihu brothers and sisters are not easy to meet. I might not have the chance to go down the mountain now."

"Haha!" Xue Dingshan couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "I'm a thousand years old. You are lucky and have a good life and are eloquent. You will be able to persuade the Dou Yihu brothers and sisters to let us pass Qipanshan. If so, you will be a great achievement! If it really doesn't work, I'll find two strong soldiers to carry you up the mountain?"

Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but waved his hand with a slightly red face and said, "Forget it, give me a horse, I'll go by myself! I haven't seen any big scenes before? I haven't seen any dragon and tiger den before? I can't scare me just a mountain village."

While speaking, Cheng Yaojin said goodbye to Xue Dingshan and left the coach's tent directly.

Xue Dingshan, who was watching Cheng Yaojin leave with a smile, then ordered Cheng Qianzhong to lead some people to follow him, and make Wanquan.

After Cheng Qianzhong left, Luo Zhang couldn't help but say, "Brother Dingshan, I saw that Grandpa Cheng suggested that we go to Qipanshan, so he wanted us to deal with the bandit brother and sister. After all, he was a dignified Duke and was invited to the village. Although he was released later, it was not good to spread it after all!"

"Boy, do you think anyone is as petty as you?" Luo Tong glared at Luo Zhang angrily.

Luo Zhang curled his lips and said, "Grandpa Cheng's belly doesn't seem to be very big."

"Marson, once the old Qiansheng goes to the table, are you really going to let Li Luanhu lead his troops to destroy the mountain village?" Luo Tong, who shook his head helplessly, couldn't help but look at Xue Dingshan with a frown and asked.

Xue Dingshan immediately shook his head and said, "Attacking the mountain village is a futile waste of troops. Our army is working together, and it is expected that his two or three thousand bandits will not be ambushed us. When they come down the mountain, we don't need to be afraid of anything. Besides, they don't have to fight with us, right?"

"Those bandit brothers and sisters sound very powerful. If they can be a Zhao'an, wouldn't it be beneficial to us in the west? They also had two or three thousand more troops in vain," Luo Zhang said.

When Luo Tong heard this, he couldn't help but nodded and said, "This is just a sentence! Just two or three thousand bandits are nothing. If those brothers and sisters are really good at martial arts and add two generals to our army, it would be really good."

"General Luo, our army is as anxious as putting out a fire, how can we still think about this?" Xue Dingshan shook his head slightly.

Qin Ying smiled and said, "Brother Dingshan, this is hard to say! Grandpa Cheng's three-inch tongue can be said to be alive if he dies. Maybe after his advice, the bandit brother and sister really surrendered to us!"

"Don't think so well!" Yuchi Qingshan shook his head and said, "It's OK to say it well! If it's not right, it might anger the brother and sister. Then we will have some trouble again. I think we'll pass Qipanshan smoothly, so don't catch the fox and make you mess with it."

Qin Ying couldn't help but glared at Yuchi Qingshan: "Qingshan! I said, can you not say such despicable words? Some bandits just think they are aliens? If you surrender them, you should look down on them."

"But they don't necessarily think so!" Yuchi Qingshan shrugged and said helplessly.

Listening to their discussion, the other generals couldn't help but speak. One by one, they had different opinions, and the entire coach's tent gradually became noisy.

Seeing the generals arguing, Xue Dingshan picked up a cup of tea on the table in front of him. He slowly drank it, without any dissatisfaction or stopping, as if he had not heard of it.

Time passed. More than an hour passed in a blink of an eye, and it was already dark. Xue Dingshan and the generals had dinner together in the tent, but they did not mean to let the generals leave.

Finally, the soldiers came to report that Mr. Cheng had returned. Xue Dingshan raised his eyebrows and said, "Please welcome!"

Soon, a burst of hearty laughter came first, and Cheng Yaojin strode into the handsome tent: "Haha, everyone. I have eaten all the supper? Damn, I'm so thirsty that I'm old Cheng, I don't have any tea?"

"Come on, give Mr. Cheng a tea!" Xue Dingshan smiled when he saw this and directly ordered the soldiers.

After Cheng Yaojin sat down, he took the tea handed over by the soldier and drank it violently. Xue Dingshan asked with a smile: "It seems that Lao Qiansui has brought us good news. How about it, what did the Dou brothers and sisters say?"

"Haha, Ding Shan, I, old Cheng, fulfilled my mission this time and successfully convinced them to let us pass Qipanshan. Oh, they are not fools. Why are you embarrassed about us if you have nothing to do? After all, this is an army of more than 100,000. It's not more than 100,000 pigs. It takes a long time to kill them!" Cheng Yaojin smiled heartily.

But what they said made the generals and Xue Dingshan feel like the corners of their mouths twitching. If the army of more than 100,000 was more than 100,000 pigs, then what are they? Pig heads?

Luo Zhang asked with a smile: "Grandpa Cheng, the Dou brothers and sisters are so powerful, why didn't you convince them to surrender to us? That way, wouldn't it add two powerful generals to the court army?"

"Oh, look at my brain, I'm so confused!" Cheng Yaojin suddenly felt a little regretful and slapped his head: "Why didn't I, Cheng, think of this?"

Cheng Yaojin then waved his hand and said, "But it doesn't matter! The two brothers and sisters have been bandits for so long and are used to being wild, and they may not be able to adapt to the military life. They are free and easy as the mountain kings, how could they be willing to go through life and death with us? I won't mention these things."

"What I said is reasonable!" Xue Dingshan nodded and smiled, "Okay, generals, let's go back and have a good rest! Cook at the third update tomorrow, and set off at the fifth update. Let's strive to pass Qipanshan in one day."

All the generals responded with a loud bang and stood up and left, only Luo Tong and Cheng Yaojin stayed behind.

The two looked at each other tacitly, and both turned to Xue Dingshan who was also looking at them with a faint smile.

"Uncle Cheng, your trip is really so smooth?" Luo Tong looked at Cheng Yaojin and asked seriously.

Cheng Yaojin immediately shook his head, looked at Xue Dingshan with a serious expression and said, "Qianzhong and I, as soon as we arrived at the foot of Qipan Mountain, the Dou brothers and sisters had sent someone to welcome us and asked us to go up the mountain. Their control over the situation around Qipan Mountain is far beyond our thoughts. Moreover, there are not only two or three thousand bandits in Qipan Mountain. In the Juyi Hall on the mountain, Dou Yihu and Dou Xiantong are not sitting at the main seat, but sitting on both sides of the main seat. There are 10 or 20 people sitting at the bottom. Moreover, they should be good at martial arts. They are extremely fierce. If I read it correctly, they should be like bandits and bandits."

"Oh? So, there is a more powerful leader in this chessboard village. I underestimated them a little!" Xue Dingshan couldn't help but narrow his eyes and said slowly.

Luo Tong also frowned slightly: "Has Qipanshan conquered some of the bandit forces in the nearby radius? How could they suddenly become so powerful and have so many people? What is they doing this for? Is it to deal with us?"

"I, Old Cheng, is also a little suspicious!" Cheng Yaojin frowned and said helplessly: "The power of the Dou brothers and sisters is obviously not small. They took the initiative to let us see the strength of their subordinates, and said that we were sure to cross the mountain. Whether this is true or not, Old Cheng is also a little confused for a while!"

Xue Dingshan nodded lightly and said, "The key is that the real master of Qipanshan. All the changes in Qipanshan should be guided and controlled by him. However, his identity and purpose are something we didn't know for a while."

"Dingshan, I also stopped by the real master on Qipanshan, his identity," Cheng Yaojin said with a little thought.

Xue Dingshan couldn't help but look at him lit up and asked, "Old Childsui, who is he?"

"His surname is Shan, and his name is Shan Ximu!" ​​Cheng Yaojin, who spoke slowly, looked up at Luo Tong.

Hearing this, Luo Tong's eyes suddenly shrank slightly with a slightly changed expression. He looked at Cheng Yaojin in surprise and said in disbelief: "Uncle Cheng, you mean. He is."

"He is very likely to be the grandson of Shan Xiong Xin Shan's second brother and the son of Shan Tianchang!" Cheng Yaojin said.

His face changed a little. Luo Tong, who held his hands tightly and slowly relaxed, lowered his head and remained silent for a moment, and closed his eyes lightly.

Xue Dingshan frowned and asked, "Old Qiansui, Uncle Luo, what's going on? I've heard of Shan Xiongxin, but his son, Shan Tianchang. I don't know anything about Shan Xiongxin's grandson?"

"Dingshan, the second brother of Shan Xiong, and I, Luo Tong's father Luo Cheng, Qin Qiong, and Wang Bodang were called the Five Tiger Generals of Wagang. Wang Bodang was killed with Li Mi. Luo Cheng's brother also died young. Shan's second brother, the same." Speaking of this, Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but his tiger's eyes turned red: "I remember when Emperor Taizu accidentally shot Dan's second brother's brother to death. From then on, Shan's second brother and the Li family became mortal enemies. After our brother left Wagang, I, Qin Qiong and Luo Cheng's brother, all surrendered to the King of Qin at that time. However, Shan's second brother surrendered to Wang Shichong and became the son-in-law of Luoyang King Wang Shichong."

Xue Dingshan nodded and continued, "I know this! Later, Taizong defeated Wang Shichong and captured Shan Xiongxin alive."

"Not bad!" Cheng Yaojin nodded with a sad expression: "The King of Qin Xicai, and could not bear to kill Shan Erge. However, Shan Erge regarded the Li family as a death, and was unwilling to surrender. Therefore, the King of Qin ordered to kill Shan Erge. Shan Tianchang was the son of Shan Erge and Wang Shichong's daughter. She had been away from her since childhood and later became the mountain king in Mopan Mountain. When Luo Tong swept the north, he passed by Mopan Mountain and subdued him. Unexpectedly, Shan Tianchang was very resentful and surrendered on the surface, but in fact he had a secret heart. Luo Tong had already seen that he had two hearts and sent him to the Pioneer Camp. In a battle with Jin Lingchuan, Shan Tianchang died at the hands of the iron thunder and silver teeth."

Luo Tong looked up and took a deep breath and said directly: "I did it on purpose to make him die more glorious."

"Luo Tong, you don't have to fight against yourself. I believe you won't really want to let him die," Cheng Yaojin shook his head and said hurriedly when he heard this.

Luo Tong shook his head and smiled bitterly, but he didn't say much.

Looking at the two of them, Xue Dingshan frowned and pondered for a moment, and said, "Now it seems that Shan Ximu is likely to stop us from going west. In this way, a confrontation is inevitable."

"Marson, tomorrow, let me lead the vanguard army first!" Luo Tong bowed and asked for his order.

Cheng Yaojin hurriedly said, "Luo Tong, are you crazy? Don't be impulsive! Dan Ximu is probably waiting for you on Qipan Mountain! If you go, wouldn't you add fuel to the fire?"

"Does Uncle Cheng want me to hide?" Luo Tong asked back, then shook his head and said, "The cause of this is in me, I will not hide. If he really wanted to kill me, I would have nothing to say. Uncle Cheng, do you know how much regret I regretted the incident back then? At that time, even if I didn't have to do Shan Tianchang, I shouldn't have let him go to the Pioneer Camp to take risks! I have an unshirkable responsibility for Shan Tianchang's death. My father and his father are brothers who have become sworn brothers! I indirectly harmed him. If he died at the hands of his son, he could face his father and Uncle Shan in the afternoon."

Cheng Yaojin was anxious when he heard this: "Luo Tong, you are confused! You are not blamed for the incident back then. Even if Dan Tianchang was not dead at that time, he would not die well sooner or later, and would be criticized. He was dead, but the court granted him a title after his death and was burial with great grace!"

"Uncle Cheng, I have decided, you don't have to say it!" Luo Tong waved his hand and said in a serious manner.

Cheng Yaojin was anxious and wanted to speak, while Xue Dingshan hurriedly said, "Old Qiansui, don't be in a hurry. This matter must be solved. Otherwise, it will be difficult for us to pass Qipanshan. I think the matter may not be as serious as we imagined. Let's take a step first. If Shan Ximu really takes it as an enemy of us, then we have no choice but to take it."

Luo Tong didn't say anything. Cheng Yaojin sighed helplessly: "I have to do this!"

On the Qipan Mountain, in the Juyi Hall, there was a burst of hilarious sound. Dou Yihu and his brothers were eating meat and drinking with some fierce and wanton men. They were really free and easy!

"Hehe, I didn't expect that the army of his court was also afraid of our Qipan Mountain and sent that old guy Cheng Yaojin to explore the mountain. It's really interesting!" A bald man from Wei Shuo was drinking wine in big mouthfuls, and couldn't help but ask Dou Yihu, who was sitting on his head with a loud voice, "Second leader, what does this army mean to the court? You can tell the brothers first, so brothers are mentally prepared!"

Dou Yihu glanced at him and asked calmly: "Why, are you scared?"

"Who said that?" The bald man suddenly turned red and he hurriedly whispered his neck: "Second leader, as long as you talk to the boss, even if you let us fight the imperial army, your brothers don't care. We may not be their opponents outside, but this is our territory on the chessboard and our territory. Even if he has more than 100,000 troops, we are not afraid of them. But what benefits can we do when we go against them?"

Listening to the bald man's words, everyone else started to say it. Although they were all desperate people, they didn't want to die in a daze. After all, it was a army of more than 100,000, not more than 100,000 pigs. It was also terrifying to watch it there.

"Okay, why are you making a fuss?" Dou Xiantong, who scolded her, looked at the slightly quieter people and couldn't help but say, "We have no holidays with the imperial army. However, the imperial army just passed by like this, and we were very embarrassed to send them across the mountains, right? The boss's intention was to let us fight the imperial army and try their best. If they were too bad, going to Xiliang is not a war, then it would be embarrassing. If they were both Tang people, we can't watch them go to Xiliang, right?"

Listening to Dou Xiantong's words, everyone couldn't help laughing.

"Sanzhuan, I am not a native of the Tang Dynasty, I am a native of Xiliang!" A bald, short and fat middle-aged man in a strange dress and wearing a circle of small braids couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

Dou Xiantong immediately glared at him with beautiful eyes: "What's wrong with the people of Xiliang? Isn't Xiliang a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty? Besides, the imperial army went to fight Xiliang and did not let them go, wouldn't it help Xiliang?"

"But we promised Cheng Yaojin and let them go!" The short and fat middle-aged man couldn't help but say.

Before Dou Xiantong could speak, the others burst into laughter: "We are bandits, what's the credibility?"

"The bandits don't talk about credibility?" Dou Xiantong looked at them and shouted in anger: "My elder brother said that he would let them go. But he didn't say that he would let them go tomorrow! In fact, no matter whether my elder brother said or not, we can't stop the imperial army from passing. They will have to pass it sooner or later, so we are not considered breaking our promise."

Listening to Dou Xiantong's words, everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and the corners of their mouths twitched slightly, thinking that they were worthy of being the third leader of our family. This really makes sense!

"Okay, everyone, I'll go back and have a good rest if I leave earlier. Tomorrow, we still have work to do!" Dou Yihu said, and stood up and left: "You drink first, I'll leave first." (To be continued...)
