Chapter 8 Mysterious Taoist priest ()

Shu County, now Lujiang County, Anhui Province, According to local chronicles, in ancient times, there were barbarians living in Shu County. During the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, it was the ancient Shu Kingdom. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the ancient Shu Kingdom was destroyed by the people of Xu, and later it was the Chu Kingdom.

Shu County is connected to Hefei in the north, Chao County in the east, and Qianshan in the south. It has an important geographical location, with many hills and rivers in the territory.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, people were living in poverty. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, due to the hilly landform, many hungry people hid in the mountains and occupied the mountains as kings. County Magistrate Liu Jun sent County Wei to lead troops to suppress the enemy many times. Although they had not been completely eliminated, the rest of them hidden and did not dare to act with great fanfare, which calmed the earth a lot.

These hungry people were scattered in Shu County, with a total of 18 shares, 17 shares of land and 14 shares of water. The largest player on the road was entrenched in Yefu Mountain, about 18 miles east of the county town. The leader was Sun Xia, who was originally the leader of the Yellow Turban Army in Nanyang.

Since Zhang Mancheng started his army, the Yellow Turban Army in Nanyang has killed Chu Gong, the prefect of Nanyang, and has a great reputation and supported 50,000 troops. Later, in the battle to attack Wancheng, the Yellow Turban Army was designed by the prefect Qin Jie and died in the formation. After Zhang Mancheng died in battle, Zhao Hongji became the commander and conquered Wancheng. The troops grew to more than 100,000 troops, and the army revived. In June, Zhu Jun defeated the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan, and turned to Nanyang, and besieged Wancheng with Jingzhou Governor Xu Miu and Nanyang Prefect Qin Jie besieged Wancheng. In August, Zhu Jun retreated his troops to lure the enemy and set up an ambush in secret. The Yellow Turban Army went out of the city to pursue him, but was ambushed, and Zhao Hong died in battle.

Later, the Yellow Turban Army in Nanyang defended Wancheng and promoted Han Zhong and Sun Xia as the commander. At this time, Han Zhong had already surrendered and secretly contacted Zhu Jun, but Zhu Jun was not allowed. Helplessly, Han Zhong and Sun Xia divided their troops and broke into the surrounding area. Han Zhong died in the chaos of breaking through the siege. Sun Xia only took one hundred cavalry and rushed out of the encirclement in the dark, fled all the way, and ran to Yefushan in Shu County to stabilize his foothold.

Because the Yellow Turban Army across the country fought each other, it was soon defeated by the Eastern Han government forces and the armed forces of gentry from all over the country. Only a small number of survivors either fled into the mountains or hid among the people. At this time, Sun Xia had to keep a low profile and slowly accumulate strength. He even had more than a thousand troops, becoming the largest ** armed force in Shu County.

The armed forces on the water occupy the waters of Chaohu Lake. Because Shu County is located on the south bank of Chaohu Lake, it has a prosperous economy and a large population, it is often harassed by this pirate. They are not many, about two or three hundred, but they are all strong, especially their leader, called Gan Ning, who is fifteen years old, is strong and has a good ranger, making a Tianlong Bafeng Sword and a golden anchor, especially the skill of water, such as diving, trampling on water, sailing, hanging sails, and everything is good. Gan Ning likes to wear brocade clothes, and his men and horses call his "jinfan thieves".

The government has no naval army, so it can only defend on land, which makes these "Jinfan thieves" happy and cheerful on Chaohu.

In front of Shuxian County Government Office.

Zhou Yu looked hurried and walked by quickly.

"Amitabha Buddha! This young man, please stay!" A thick voice sounded behind Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu stopped and looked back. A middle-aged Taoist priest with a bun tied up high, wearing a crown, and a Taoist robe was looking at him with a smile.

"This young man is in a hurry, but he is on the way?" asked the middle-aged Taoist priest.

Zhou Yu saw that although this Taoist priest was dressed in ordinary clothes, his roots and bones were thin and he had a faint fairy style. Could it be that the immortal in Huashan?

"God?" Zhou Yu asked.

"This... is not." The middle-aged Taoist priest replied.

"Monster?" Zhou Yu asked again.

"Well...Young Master, why is your problem so strange?" Taoist Zou Zou said with a strange look.

Zhou Yu was anxious to find Xiao Yuer, so he was impatient to deal with the Taoist priest, thinking that the Taoist priest just wanted to take some fortune telling money when he saw a palm. So he stuffed ten cents into the Taoist priest's hand, turned around and left.

"Huh..." The middle-aged Taoist priest was a little unexpected, but in a blink of an eye he followed again.

"Young Master is looking for someone?" said the middle-aged Taoist priest anxiously.

"Yeah!" Zhou Yu stopped hearing this.

The middle-aged Taoist priest picked up his beard and said, "Are you looking for a little girl wearing light green straight skirts?"

"That's right! That's right!" Zhou Yu couldn't help but hold the middle-aged Taoist priest's hand tightly.

"I just walked past Zuixian Tower. There was a group of people performing arts downstairs, and many people watched. It was quite lively. I saw a pretty boy wearing light green clothes watching..."

Before the middle-aged Taoist priest finished speaking, Zhou Yu in front of him was gone.

"Young master, we will have a chance to go back to you. My name is Zhang Sui." The voice of the middle-aged Taoist priest chased Zhou Yu and clearly came into his ears.
