Chapter 10 Liao Chao (3)
Chapter 10: The Rebellion (3)
Suishan Liao lives on the mountain.
Many people build wooden houses on flat ground for living, but more people still follow ancient customs and live in caves. Unlike caves in Heluo area, most of the caves used by the Liao people are naturally formed. They live in groups, and there may be several families living in a large cave. Therefore, when judging Liao people's household registration, it is also called a cave.
There are twenty to thirty people in one cave, and Suishan Shuliao has a total population of more than 200 caves, with a total population of more than 5,000.
This is nothing in relatively developed areas such as Shu County and Wenshan County. However, it is definitely a large group in Emei, and even in Yueli, Qiongdu, Jianwei and other places further south. It is precisely because of this that Gu Siman has a great status in Rongle City.
The night was getting darker, and Gu Siman and his people came to a remote cave.
"Everyone is old!"
Outside the cave, there were dozens of warriors guarding him.
Seeing Gu Siman coming up, they all quickly stood up to greet him.
"Is she OK in there?"
"Bonelando is normal. You eat when you should eat and when you should sleep. You don't show any abnormal conditions. Please rest assured."
Duoduo was indeed detained by Gu Siman.
"You all stay here, I'll go in and talk to Korando."
Gu Siman sighed, took the torch from a entourage, and walked into the cave.
The cave is very deep and the road is uneven.
There is a unique universe in the cave. There is a stone beam in the middle that two people are parallel, and there are a deep abyss on both sides. Walking on the stone beam, you can vaguely hear the howling of ghosts and wolves in the abyss. The strange rocks on the cave walls of the cave are intertwined and uneven, forming a ferocious shape.
This stone beam is about five hundred meters long.
As long as you guard one end and have sufficient food and grass, thousands of troops will find it difficult to pass through. The stone beams are rugged, forming a slow slope. Gu Siman walked about 300 meters, and only heard a loud shout from the opposite side: "Who is it? Come and register it quickly?"
"What are you shouting, it's me!"
Gu Siman frowned and shouted in a deep voice.
A fire flashed across the stone beam, and four warriors appeared at the other end of the stone beam.
"See Mr. Du."
"You guys go down, Gulandot and I have something to say."
Gu Siman waved his hand and shouted back the warrior and walked past the stone beam. At the other end of the stone beam, about a hundred meters deep, there was an iron fence.
Behind the fence is a stone chamber.
A girl in a dress with a shawl, wearing a golden ring on her head, sitting barefoot on the ground, concentrating on what was written on the stone wall.
"Bonelando!"
When the girl heard the sound, she quickly turned around. Under the dim light, it was Duoduo.
"Uncle Gu Siman, have you figured it out?"
Gu Siman sat down outside the iron fence, staring at Duoduo in a daze, and sighed after a long time, "Duoduo, it's not that I have figured it out, but that I have to do this. You are not unaware that your brother was detained by a flying leader. If I don't do this, Gu Lu will be unable to protect his life... I am so old that I don't like to fight hard. I have brought my tribe members to the court over the years, and my bloodiness back then has been almost done. If it weren't for Gu Lu's support, how could I let all the people in the tribe fall into danger?"
Duoduo was silent...
She sat down and sighed quietly, "Uncle Gu Siman, you are not in danger, but in death."
"I don't know if it's dead."
Gu Siman said in a deep voice: "I am here today to tell you that the government army has left Rongle City... For Gu Lu, I decided to fight once. Regardless of success or failure, I will let you go. But that will only happen after I leave Rongle and enter the depths of Suishan."
When he said this, his cheeks twitched twice.
"Gurando, Uncle wants to apologize to you. Not only did he fail to take good care of you, but he also made you wronged."
Duoduo said: "Uncle Gusiman, you have to think clearly. Now that you let me go, I can find my man to give you advice. He is very smart and resourceful. As long as he is willing to take action, he will definitely help you solve the problem and rescue Gulutuo's brothers.
But if you really attack Ronglecang, it would be a death sentence!”
Gu Siman laughed, "Duoduo, I know that the Han people are cunning, but I am not a fool. I don't know who your man is, but now you are detained here by me, he has no idea, and it can be seen that there is nothing surprising. Duoduo, you don't have to persuade me anymore."
"The little scholar will definitely come to save me, and you will definitely fail."
Duoduo said loudly with a firm look.
Gu Siman smiled and did not argue with Duoduo.
"You have to endure it for two more days, and in a few days, I will let you out."
"Uncle Gu Siman, don't do stupid things..."
Seeing this, Duoduo quickly shouted loudly, but Gu Siman ignored him, held up a torch, followed the way he came and left the cave.
"Before we retreat to Suishan, if there is any abnormality, kill her!"
When leaving the cave, Gu Siman gritted his teeth and said softly.
The two samurai warriors agreed respectfully and retreated into the cave.
Although he had made up his mind, Gu Siman's heart was not calm. He did not start acting immediately the next day, but stayed in Suishan and sent people to continue to observe the movements of Ronglecheng. The spy replied that everything was normal in Ronglecheng and there was nothing unusual. It was just that because the official army left, Ronglecheng County Government added some personnel to Ronglecang, with about 200 people.
"Two hundred people are waiting day and night?"
"No, it's taking turns to be on duty... I observed that Ronglecang is divided into two shifts every day, and takes turns to be on duty. However, when the two shifts take turns, there will be a time to change defense. There will be about one stick of incense... At that time, their guards were the most relaxed."
"When will you change your defense?"
"Change defense once on the flat day and once on the temporary period."
Pingdan means the hour of Yin. It refers to the sun below the horizon and when the sky is just dawn, which is commonly known as dawn. The hour of the hour of the hour of the hour of the hour of the year refers to the hour of Shen. The ancients were used to eating during this period, which is from 3:00 to 5:00 in the afternoon. If it is changed to the words of later generations, it is the time for afternoon tea.
Gu Siman thought for a while and whispered: "The goal is too obvious and not suitable for you."
Action on the Pacific Day... You try to tell our people, so that they can try to gain more time for us. Don’t need too much, just half a stick of incense sticks. I will order all my troops and set off tomorrow afternoon, and at dawn the next day, I will take action to seize Ronglecang."
The spy quickly agreed and hurriedly left Suishan.
Gu Siman exhaled a turbid breath and wandered in the cave for a long time.
Since he has reached this point, he has no way out! In order to support his subordinates and Suishanliao, he has to take the last risk.
On the fourth day of the evacuation of the official army from Rongle City, everything was calm.
After nightfall, Rongle City soon entered silence. Ronglecang, located not far from the county town, is still brightly lit.
The soldiers patrolled around Ronglecang and were on high alert.
Gu Siman arrived at the periphery of Ronglecang after midnight and crawled on the mountains. He quietly observed the movements of Ronglecang. On the surface, there seemed to be no special situation. But the scheming Gu Siman was still observing quietly, and his heart was pounding.
Behind him, nearly a thousand warriors from Suishanlia were followed.
They were all wearing tight-fitting clothes, wearing rattan armor tanned from Suishan old vines, and straw sandals. They were covered with various patterns on their faces. In the middle of the night, they were like hideous ghosts. Gu Siman held a nine-foot long and short dragon rod in his hand, which was extremely heavy. This was a weapon made of Suishan specialty for a hundred years. Applying layers of tung oil, even a magic weapon, would be difficult to hurt.
Using this dragon stick to the body can easily cause malfunction.
It has been more than ten years since he used this Qiulong stick... He put down the Qiulong stick for the future of his children and grandchildren; now, he wants to pick up the Qiulong stick again for his only bones and blood. Things in the world are so ridiculous, it sounds a bit absurd.
Time passed little by little!
Gu Siman was still observing patiently and waiting.
Some Suishan officials could not resist the sleepiness that came and kept dozing off. Fortunately, they had a special method to make the awakening grass of Suishan specialty, like a sachet, and carry it with them. They could not help but drive away sleepiness and mosquitoes.
Gu Siman crushed a awakening grass, put his fingers under his nose, sucked hard, and immediately became energetic.
It's almost dawn...
From the direction of Rongle City, a team of officials came.
After the command with the patrol officers, the two officers exchanged greetings for a while, and then walked into Ronglecang hand in hand.
The patrol officers and the replacing officers entered Cangcheng one after another.
Immediately afterwards, there were sounds of war from Cangcheng, probably to assemble men and prepare to change defenses.
Gu Siman stood up, raised the dragon rod in his hand high, and pointed towards Ronglecang. In an instant, a large number of people stood up on the dark ground, running like flying, and quickly rushed towards the gate of Ronglecang's Kura City.
Since the city is undergoing defense change, there are no one guarding the gate.
Although Gu Si is so old, he runs at an amazing speed.
Even many young men could not keep up with Gu Siman's speed. They couldn't help but secretly admire: As expected, old people are getting stronger.
While running, Gu Siman pulled out a flute-like object from his waist and bit one end of his mouth.
Many Liao people learned Gu Siman's actions and bit the tube-like items on their mouths. This is the blowing arrow passed down from generation to generation. The blowing arrows of the Liao people are highly toxic and can kill people in an instant; the blowing arrows of the mature Liao people are mostly made of narcotic drugs.
From this point of view, the difference between raw and mature staff is clearer.
Gu Siman took the lead and rushed into the gate of Ronglecang. There were many people standing on the open space in the middle of Cang City. Gu Siman didn't say anything, lifted up a mouthful of Dantian Qi, sucked his mouth and blew it hard, and a blow-blowing brush flew out of the tube, hitting a person's body.
However, the man did not move.
At the same time, the men behind Gu Siman fired arrows one after another, then rushed forward with weapons, slashing wildly.
There was no scream or a river of blood.
A bunch of straw flew in the sky, and a man shouted loudly in horror: "All old, these are all straw men."
Gu Siman was shocked and beat a chill. He quickly put away his blowing arrows and shouted loudly in his men's language: "I've been trapped, we've been trapped by the Han family... Retreat, retreat quickly!"
But after entering Cangcheng, it is not that easy to get out.
I heard that the gate of Cangcheng was creaking and closed. It turned out that the gate was not opened with manpower, but was controlled by the winch on the wall of Cangcheng. As the gate closed, the quiet Ronglecang suddenly became bright and the surrounding walls were filled with people.
A Sui general stood on the Cangmen city tower, with a helmet and armor, a burqa tied his belt, and a long sword in his waist.
"Old Du, since he is here, why leave in such a hurry? Dou Gui, the vigilante of Ziyang County, has been waiting for the old Du for many days in this Cangcheng."
In an instant, rows of archers appeared on the walls of Cangcheng on all sides.
The cold weapon emitted a cold and cold air. When Gu Siman saw this, he fell to the ground with a dragon stick in his hand, sighing dejectedly!
Chapter completed!
