Chapter 22 Flying Soldier Over Xianxia 1

It is said that Huang Chao and Chai Cun commanded the Chinese army to defeat the eight capitals of Dongchang in the Jinhua Mountain area and won a lot. Huang Siye and Lu Jingren led the third village soldiers to capture Wuzhou. Huang Chao entered Wuzhou with his troops, and the rebels were vigorous.

Huang Chao ordered Xu Tangju to send troops and horses to Wuzhou to take over the defense, and Xu Tangju allocated 10,000 horses to Liu Ying to take over the defense in Wuzhou. Huang Chao left thousands of wounded in Wuzhou to recuperate, transferred them to Liu Ying's command, and left some military supplies for the fifth village soldiers to use.

A few days later, Huang Chao, Chai Cun, Huang Siye and Lu Jingren led a large army to leave Wuzhou, went to Yingpan Mountain, joined Cao Min's second village soldiers and horses, and began to prepare to cross Xianxialing, attack Jianzhou, and enter southern Xinjiang for development.

Speaking of Xianxialing, there is a touching legend.

In ancient times, a fairy in Putuo Mountain in the South China Sea (now the East China Sea) drove a colorful auspicious cloud to Mount Emei in Sichuan.

When I passed by the security guard, I saw the red sun burning. On the vast security guard, the seedlings were scorched, and the people were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and there was nothing they could do. What method can be used to relieve the drought? The fairy saw it in her eyes and was anxious in her heart.

In a short time, sweat oozed from his face. She had an idea and parked Caiyun on Shigu Mountain on the east side of the security guard, wiped a handful of sweat on her cheek, shook it with her hand, and suddenly sweated into rain and flowed out of Shigu Creek. At the same time, the heavy rain moistened the seedlings, and the field flowed into Shigu Creek.

The fairy stopped on the mountain south of the security guard for another three days. Seeing the seedlings turn yellow to green and regain their vitality, and the drought of the whole security guard was relieved, she drove the colorful clouds to Mount Emei. The security people were overjoyed by the long drought.

In order to thank the fairy for the rain to save the seedlings, people called the mountain where the fairy stopped Xianxialing.

Today, Xianxialing is still between the vast mountains of Zhejiang and Fujian. More than 1,000 years ago, the Huangchao Uprising Army entered Fujian and opened 700 miles along the Xianxia Ridge, becoming the famous Xianxia ancient road today. And set up nine places, including Xianxia Pass and Fengling Pass. Xianxiaguan is known as the "Southeast Lock Key" and "Eight Fujian Throat". This pass is located in the three provinces of Zhejiang, Fujian and Jiangxi. The Dongyu Chronicle contains: "Xianxia is dangerous and can only accommodate one horse. To the customs, the mountains are steep. Pick up the level and rise, and drive the pavilion to vanity. Climbing to the strange, the path is winding, and every step is dangerous. Hanguan Sword Pavilion seems to be able to be simulated, and it is also the majestic pass set by Chengtian. Therefore, it is a must-have place for all generations of soldiers. There are still ancient training grounds, four gates, stone ancient roads and Chongtianyuan and other historical sites. Thinking about the present and the past makes people sigh with emotion. The feat of the heroes of Daqi is with the mountains and rivers, and competes with the sun and the moon!

Soon, Meng Kai sent a messenger to Yingpan Mountain to report the opening of Xianxialing Road to Huang Chao, saying that after more than half a month of hard work, more than 300 miles of mountain roads had been ground and are still being opened. Many soldiers have been injured and sick due to days of fatigue, and some fell on the mountain road and sacrificed their precious lives to the southern border.

Huang Chao looked at the military book, his eyes were wet, and blood dripped in his heart. He raised his head and said to the generals, "In order to cross Xianxialing, the first village soldiers made great sacrifices. According to the current progress of mountain chiseling, it is difficult for our army to pass through Xianxialing within a month, and we must speed up the project!"

Chai Cun said, "I think we can pull up the soldiers of the third village, work with the soldiers of the first village, and broaden the mountain road, so that the progress will be faster."

"I decided to pull the Chinese army up, and I personally took the generals of Daqi to drive the mountain road!" Huang Chao said decisively.

Kang Shiming said excitedly, "King Huang, I will lead my subordinates to be the pioneers of the way. I must chisel through Xianxialing Mountain Road within half a month!"

"Well, the Chinese army and the third village are now ready to leave Yingpan Mountain and go to Xianxialing. I don't believe in this evil. I must open up Xianxialing Mountain Road! Open up a road unprecedented! Shi Ming, you take 3,000 light riders first, and I will arrive later with the army. Everyone, hurry up and prepare the tools to chisel the mountain road. We will sweat in Xianxialing and fly troops to Jianzhou!"

"Sweat Xianxialing, flying soldiers to take Jianzhou!" Inside and outside the Chinese army's tent, the generals and soldiers shouted in unison.

Kang Shiming led 3,000 light riders day and night and quickly arrived in Xianxialing. After finding Meng Kai, Kang Shiming handed over Huang Chao's handwritten letter. Meng Kai is a big old man and can't read a few words, so he let Zhu Wen read it.

After Zhu Wen finished reading Huang Chao's letter, he made some explanations, and Meng Kai understood the purpose of Huang Chao's letter. He laughed, and on his dark face, sweat kept dripping down, fell into the chiseled stone pile, and suddenly disappeared.

"Shiming, you came in time. It is really difficult to cut this mountain road. It is estimated that only half of it has been completed so far. Brother Huang made great determination to pull all the soldiers of the Chinese army and the Third Village to Xianxialing, and take turns to excavite the soldiers of the First Village. The progress of the project must be greatly accelerated!" Meng Kai said while wiping his sweat.

"Master Mengzhai, you are now replacing the exhausted soldiers on the front line. I will take these 3,000 soldiers to the top! Huang Wang's army is about to arrive. Now you have to do a good job of handing over. Kang Shiming's tone is passionate and sincere.

"Okay, I'll inform the first village brothers and sisters right away!" Meng Kai said loudly.

Kang Shiming led his department to quickly arrive at the location arranged by Meng Kai and dig with chissis, hammers, hammers, iron picks, axes, shovels and other tools. If the rest force is poor, Kang Shiming arranged for them to transport the excavated rocks to the edge of the cliff with a hoop, flatbed truck, etc.

When the cave was opened, the soldiers lit torches and candles for lighting. With the deepening of the excrutiny, the soldiers were all sweating, but none of them shouted tired and tenaciously knocked on the hard rock with tools and pushed forward little by little.

An ordinary soldier named Xiaozhuang, who is about 20 years old, has a childish face full of sweat. He slammed the big hammer and tried his best to hit the rock. Looking at a pile of stones smashed by him, he grinned.

"Xiaozhuang, you are too tired. Take a break before you do it!" Kang Shiming said with concern.

"No! In order to let the army pass through Xianxialing as soon as possible, I will risk my life this time!" Xiaozhuang shouted.

"Xiaozhuang, where are you from?" Kang Shiming asked.

"I am from Puzhou. My parents have died since I was a child. I have worked hard in the landlord's rich family and suffered a lot of bullying. When Huang Wang raised his army in Cao County, several of my companions and I killed the landlord Lao Cai and joined the Rebel Army! I am willing to follow the Yellow King, no matter how hard and tired it is, because the Yellow King's army fights the country for the people. The people and the Yellow King are heart to heart!"

Kang Shiming listened and nodded and praised: "Yes, follow the king of Huang, energetic and aggressive! Xiaozhuang, when Xianxialing is chiseled, you can be my own soldier!"

Xiaozhuang said excitedly, "Thank you, General Kang. I will definitely work hard with you and become a general as soon as possible!"

"Well, the young man is promising! When I win Jianzhou and Fuzhou, I will ask for a daughter-in-law in southern Xinjiang for you, hehe!" Kang Shiming patted Xiaozhuang on the shoulder and said half jokingly and half seriously.

"Really, General Kang didn't lie to me, did he?" Xiaozhuang flashed his big eyes and asked.

"When did I cheat my brothers and sisters? What is the purpose of our marching to war? It is to build a fair and reasonable society so that the poor can live a dignified life. Daqi soldiers will have a family and career, and the heroes of Daqi will have successors. If the world is defeated, there must be someone to build it!" Kang Shiming restrained his smile and said seriously.

"That's good. I've never touched a girl since I grew up! I heard that the girls in southern Xinjiang are beautiful. The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and it is a place for beautiful women. It's great that I got beautiful women in southern Xinjiang!" When Xiaozhuang said this, his face was filled with a happy smile.

Suddenly, a soldier came over in panic and said to Kang Shiming, "General Kang, at the top of the big cave in front of him, the stones fell off and fell down one after another. He has injured dozens of brothers. Please find a way to rescue the brothers lying in the cave quickly!"

"Quick, let me into the hole! Rescue the injured brother!" Kang Shiming shouted to the surrounding soldiers.

The soldiers lit torches and candles and entered the cave under the command of Kang Shiming. Xiaozhuang rushed to the front.

Xiaozhuang and other volunteers tried their best to remove the stones that pressed on the wounded soldiers and carried them out of the hole one by one. After being busy for a long time, he finally rescued all the wounded soldiers he saw out of the cave. Xiaozhuang was so tired that he was out of breath. He picked up the teapot he carried with him and took a big sip of the spring water. He was about to leave the hole when a faint voice came to his ear: "Brother, save... save me"

Xiaozhuang quickly picked up the torch and ran over. After walking for a while, he saw a wounded soldier leaning on a corner of the cave, dying. His two legs were pressed by big stones and could not move. Obviously, his head and shoulders were also injured, constantly bleeding.

Xiaozhuang used his strength to remove the stones. At this time, several volunteers came in, and Xiaozhuang quickly called them to help. The volunteers set up the wounded soldier with seven hands and eight feet and walked out of the hole.

Xiaozhuang was worried and took a torch into the depths of the cave to see if any wounded soldiers were still in the cave. After checking for a while, he did not find the wounded soldiers. At this time, the torch in Xiaozhuang's hand was extinguished. He had to touch the mouth of the hole step by step based on his memory. Not far, he only heard a loud noise. The top of the cave suddenly collapsed, and the large and small stones smashed down. Xiaozhuang screamed, and there was no sound again, and he stayed forever. On Xianxia Mountain.

"Xiao-Zhuang--" Kang Shiming and the soldiers outside the cave shouted heartbreakingly.
