"When Taizu went to Chenliu, he scattered his family's wealth and united with the righteous army, he will kill Zhuo."

When Cao Cao raised an army to attack Dong, he first relied on his clan brothers Cao Hong and Cao Xiu, as well as his own clan brothers Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun.

In the early days of the development of Cao Cao's power, soldiers from the Cao family and the Xiahou family fought for Cao Cao through life and death, and made great military exploits.

Affected by this, Xiahou Dun also first considered people with the same surname and closeness when hiring people.

Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Lan have the same surname as Xiahou.

Although one of them is from Qiaojun in Yuzhou and the other is from Changshan in Jizhou, this does not affect Xiahoudun's trust in Xiahoulan.

Because looking up the genealogy, both of them come from the same ancestor: the founding hero of the Western Han Dynasty, Ruyinhou Xia Houying.

Xiahou Lan was the commander-in-chief of the partial division, but he was inexperienced after all. It happened that Hou Cheng, a former Lu Bu surrendered general, seemed quite capable, so Xiahou Dun appointed him as his deputy general to accompany him in the expedition to the inner countryside.

Hou Cheng was arrogant and was dissatisfied with this.

However, the Xiahou family was powerful but could not afford to offend him. They could only hope to perform well on the battlefield to prove their bravery as a general.

"General, we have just found out that most of the Neixiang garrison and the able-bodied people in the city have moved to Junshan Mountain in the west of the city. This is an old bandit stronghold, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack..."

Hou Cheng hurriedly climbed to the city and reported to Xiahou Lan who was inspecting the city defenses.

"Junshan, Wang Xian, isn't that where Wang Zhong and you were stationed before? Do you still know the mountain trails?" Xia Houlan asked Wang Xian, who was bowing his head next to him.

The rapid advance this time was mainly due to the local leader Wang Xian who led the way. Otherwise, if they had only marched from the official road, it would have been difficult to avoid Wei Yan's blockage.

"General Xiahou, my subordinates have lived in Junshan for more than ten years. Every plant and tree there is in their heads. Wei Shi, a village man, went to Junshan to hide. He was throwing himself into a trap, not knowing whether to live or die.

"

Wang Xian glanced at Hou Cheng with interest. This surrendered general named Hou looked down on him because of his outstanding skills. Now, he wanted to show off his skills and let Hou Cheng see what he was doing.

"snort."

Hou Cheng snorted coldly, turned around and went down to the city wall.

Xia Houlan refused to listen, and Wang Xian took advantage of his advantage as a landlord to show off his power. Hou Cheng was disappointed to find that he had all his talents but could not find a place to use them.

Following this, Xiahou Lan ordered Hou Cheng to stay in Neixiang County, and he and Wang Xian led a thousand-five-step cavalry to attack Junshan.

Halfway through the journey, they met Hou Yin, a local bandit who was occupying Xiong'er Mountain, and came to join them. After the two groups joined forces, their strength reached more than 3,000 people. In addition to threatening the people, they were even known as 5,000 people.

"Within three days, we will break through Junshan and capture Liu Beijun's county lieutenant alive. How magnificent!"

Being a partial teacher also has the advantage of being a partial teacher.

In front of Wang Xian and Hou Yin, Xia Houlan swept away the cowardly look he had shown in front of Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun.

——

Junshan Castle.

The military situation reported back became more and more urgent, and Wei Shi worked non-stop and accelerated the construction of Junshan Wubao.

There are more than 4,000 soldiers and civilians in Neixiang. Under the leadership of the person in charge of each matter, they perform their respective duties enthusiastically.

In a corner of the golden roof of the former Wang Zhongzhu stronghold, Han Qiang, Song Yuniang, Wei Xiao'e and other female family members were boiling water and cooking.

Considering that everyone was doing manual labor, Han Qiang directly ordered the killing of two old cows that were about to die from exhaustion. After removing the bones, they cooked beef bone soup separately. The beef was coated with coarse salt and placed in a cool cave.

, for emergencies.

When you are the mistress of the house, you must act like a mistress.

Today, Han Qiang is no longer hesitant and disappointed when choosing a bride. Instead, she is a confident and calm head of a wealthy family.

Behind Han Qiang, Song Yuniang was sweating from exhaustion and was working hard to chop firewood. She was thin and weak, so it was really difficult for her to do the work of chopping firewood.

Other women were busy, but Song Yuniang didn't want to be idle.

Although, the women had no intention of letting her work.

In their eyes, Song Yuniang was Wei Shi's concubine sooner or later.

Since you are a noble person, it is normal not to do menial work.

"Yu Niang, please rest first. If you are exhausted and Wei Lang comes back, why don't you blame me?" Han Qiang felt pity for Song Yu Niang when she saw her tired look.

She was once a lonely person, but she finally found relief and found a good husband.

Song Yuniang was unfortunate.

Even if Cai Guang, a scoundrel, brought trouble to the village, he also harmed Song Yuniang's good reputation.

Now, besides Wei Shi, how could any other man want her?

Of course, judging from Han Qiang's observations, Song Yuniang probably doesn't have anyone else in her heart except Wei Shi.

"oops!"

Just when Han Qiang was worried that Song Yuniang was tired, she saw the hatchet loosen from her hand and fall from a crack in the golden roof. When she tried to pick it up again, the hatchet had already been embedded in the crack of the rock. Can't pull it out.

"Sister Qiang, come here and help me pull it out?" Song Yuniang shouted anxiously.

When Han Qiang heard the word "pull", her pretty face turned red, and she couldn't help but think of the fun in the boudoir with Wei Shi a few days ago.

Yu Niang, this little girl, what can I say is not good, it has to be said, maybe she was eavesdropping outside that day.

After a while, Han Qiang calmed down and took Zhong Mu, Zhang Erni and other women over to check. When she found that Song Yuniang's hatchet was caught by a shining golden stone, Han Qiang almost laughed out loud.

If it is clamped too tightly, it will be difficult to pull it out.

"Got-headed gold, this is dog-headed gold, call the adults over here, gold has been found here." Mother Zhong was old and knowledgeable. She immediately screamed when she saw the corner of the rock cut off by the hatchet.

As soon as the women heard that gold had been discovered, they immediately surrounded Song Yuniang.

"Yu Niang, you have done a great job. This time, you can take care of your concubine safely."

"Yu Niang, you are so lucky. Why don't I have such luck..."

Zhang Erni and the other women chatted with each other in envious tones. Song Yuniang was so embarrassed that she squatted on the ground, covering her face and not daring to raise her head.

Wei Shi was on the mountainside, instructing Zhong Lin and other carpenters to cut down moso bamboo, sharpen one end, and use it as a bamboo spear.

The combat effectiveness of the rural soldiers is not as good as Cao's army, and they will definitely not be able to defeat them in close combat. However, the length of the bamboo spear is long enough. If you prepare it in advance on the mountain road and guard it in dangerous places, you can make up for the lack of combat effectiveness.

Wei Shi was startled when he heard the news that Han Qiang and Song Yuniang found nugget gold in Jinding.

Nugget gold is a common name among the people, which refers to larger gold particles. Because of their different shapes, it is also called horseshoe gold, bran gold, bran gold, etc.

Wei Shi remembered that in his previous life, there was a special treasure exploration column that introduced the gold mine in Laojun Mountain.

If there is one, there are two; if there are two, there are three.

Although nugget gold was accidentally discovered by Song Yuniang, it is more likely that there are gold-containing veins nearby.

There is gold in Laojun Mountain.
