And the woman who is alive is Lü Qian, in fact, Lü Qi is not her original name, her original name was called Zhen, because the family was poor, her grandmother did not have the ability to provide her with study, so she could only drop out of school early, and even her surname "Zhen" could not be written, Xiao Zhen was easy to write for the sake of the map, so he changed his surname to two "mouths" composed of "Lü" as a surname, at that time, the Xiangqian border was full of bandits, burning and looting the surrounding villages all day, and the life was good and happy. Because her small family was poor and had not lived a good life, she was very longing for the life of the bandits at that time, so she changed the word "clan" to the word "Qi", thinking that she could become a king in the future and live a good life.

Just as the so-called one side of the water and soil to raise one side of the people, in such a beautiful place as Xiangxi, Lü Qian quickly grew up in the wind and Jade Li, she is also a famous beauty in the ten miles and eight townships, pursued by many men, because when she was young, she and her two sisters were defiled by the Japanese army, and those two sisters even let the Japanese devils brutally kill after being defiled, because they vowed to avenge the death of the two sisters, but at that time, Lü Qian was still young, and there was no way to avenge herself and her sisters, but when she grew up, Lü Qian knew very well that she only had the strength of the chicken with her hands. It was impossible to avenge Xue Hate, so Lü Qian often drilled into the pile of men.

Mainly to learn to shoot on horseback, although Lü Qian dropped out of school early and did not read many books, but she was talented and intelligent, so she learned everything relatively quickly, coupled with her outstanding appearance, and she could sing and talk very well, so men were willing to guide her. Not long after, the clever Lü Qian mastered the technique of riding and shooting, and also practiced a flying knife skill, and people praised her as a "knife and gunner." ”

The number of men pursuing Lü Qian has also become more and more numerous, and there is even a song written for her: a slope in front of the door of Sister Qi, along the way to the rock slab, the iron straw shoes are worn, and the rock slab is turned into a lamp nest. This song means that there were already hills and stone slabs in front of Lü Qian's house, and later they were all flattened by the men who came to court, which shows how many of Lü Qian's suitors are, but Lü Qian faces so many suitors, and does not nod his head to any one of them, and Lü Qian also knows the thoughts of the group of men, not only is he not shy, but also says to the group of suitors: "I don't want gold and silver treasures, nor jewelry, who can bring back the head of a ghost, I will accompany whoever I spend the night." ”

Then someone asked again, if I want to marry you and go home as a wife, what are the requirements? Lü Qian replied: "I want the five heads of the little devil", the suitors heard that there were such good things, immediately excited, so many men disregarded their own safety, took advantage of the late night to run into the county town to prepare to take the devil's head, but most of them were shot before they even saw where the devils were, and some killed the devils and got the little devils' heads, but they couldn't get out, and finally they were shot. However, their actions also had a deterrent effect, and the Japanese troops stationed in the city did not understand where so many enemies had come, and they were frightened and panicked for a while, and only dared to cower in the city.

After Yang Wu, who was the king of the nearby mountains, heard about Lü Qian's deeds, he became interested in her, so he immediately recruited ten gunmen with good marksmanship with a heavy reward, went into the city in the dark, and retrieved the heads of six Japanese devils, Yang Wu put these six heads into the basket, personally took them to Lü Qi and asked her to check them, lü Qi, who was only nineteen years old at the time, dared to be bold and kept his promise, when he packed up his things and followed Yang Wu to the mountain.

At the same time as marrying Yang Wu, Lü Qian also became a bandit as he wished. Although Lü Qian dropped out of school early, but also read a few years of books, she is not a vase that is not useful in the middle, Lü Qian not only has riding and shooting skills and flying knife skills, but also has strong leadership skills and foresight, Yang Wu is very fond of this new daughter-in-law, giving her a platform to show her skills, Lü Qi believes that there is a camp that can be attacked and defended, which is very important for the bandits who have been hiding in the mountains, so since Yang Wu has pulled up a team of bandits, it is time to raise troops and build a camp.

Lü Qi, relying on his advantage of growing up in this mountain, quickly chose a good place for Yang Wu: Mao'er Mountain, which was a higher terrain and a larger area, so Yang Wu built a strong camp in Mao'er Mountain according to the advice given to him by Lü Qi, and Yang Wu and his bandit camp gradually became more famous, and many people fled from afar, and the local government sent troops to suppress bandits many times, but they could not take down Yang Wu and his bandit camp, in order to stabilize this group of bandits and not harm the people, they could only give Yang Wu an official position on the surface.

Yang Wu changed from bandit to official, he was promoted from captain of Qingxiang to commander of Xiangqian border security, not only did he have a battalion of troops under his command, even some small bandit leaders in the surrounding area were respectful to him, Yang Wu also became more and more important to Lü Qian's wife, and even put military and political affairs in the hands of Lü Qi, but Yang Wu was also old after all, and he also had to manage his soldiers, and it was inevitable that there would be people who wanted to oppose him, but what Yang Wu did not expect was that the first person to appear was his eldest son-in-law Liu Sanbao.

Liu Sanbao did not want to be at the bottom of his old father-in-law all the time, thinking that his old father-in-law Yang Wu was old, and he did not have the energy and brain to manage such a large team, and he himself was in his prime, he was more suitable than his old father-in-law to be the boss here, so Liu Sanbao spent a lot of money to buy the local county magistrate Shi Santong, and put a hat on Yang Wu's head with the intention of rebellion, I have to say that this Liu Sanbao is also a smart person, he wants to kill his father-in-law Yang Wu through the government's knife.

Lu Qian, who had always been intelligent, knew that this county magistrate was an old color critic. So he took the initiative to show kindness to the county magistrate, and personally went into the city to give gifts to the county magistrate, and after intentionally or unintentionally getting closer to the county magistrate, he quickly understood Liu Sanbao's plan to kill people with a knife. After that, Liu Sanbao was placed by Lü Qian with an eyeliner to stare at Liu Sanbao's every move, and was ready to perform a good play with Yang Wu to trick Liu Sanbao into the bait.

Subsequently, Yang Wu told Liu Sanbao that he would go to Guizhou with Lü Qian. After leaving the camp for a while, Lü Qian let himself install eyeliner to tell Liu Sanbao that he and Yang Wu had fallen out on the road and returned alone, Liu Sanbao went to see her, Lü Qian took this opportunity to use the beauty plan, and when Yang Wu rushed into the house with people, he immediately shot and killed Liu Sanbao, who was hugging Lü Qian.

The county magistrate who had long colluded with Lü Qian immediately issued a document that Liu Sanbao had been brought to justice on the spot because he intended to assassinate Yang Wu, and Lü Qian not only helped Yang Wu to put an end to Liu Sanbao's conspiracy to rebel, but also co-opted the county magistrate, and the power of the camp was once again enhanced, and her prestige was getting higher and higher in the cottage, and many times Yang Wu was only obedient to her. During the Liberation War, Lü Qian felt that their camp was the local "earth emperor", did not pay attention to the nationalist army and the People's Liberation Army at all, and even often when the camp was short of supplies, she took people down the mountain to grab the grain of the people in the village, and if she dared not take the initiative to hand it in, she sent people to her home to loot, making the people under the mountain miserable and complaining.

Yang Wu's nephew Yang Qi was a wise man, seeing that Yang Wu's great power had gone, so he took the initiative to lead his men to surrender to the People's Liberation Army, and assisted the People's Liberation Army in carrying out bandit suppression operations, Lü Qi was very angry after knowing this, and even kidnapped Yang Qi and the families of the people who surrendered with him, and brutally killed them all, Yang Wu was also accustomed to her, although he was reluctant to retreat, he did not dare to refute lü Qian, and could only follow Lü Qi to hide in the mountains, until finally with a small number of defeated soldiers. He hid in a bat cave on the border of Guizhou.

And outside the cave has long been surrounded by the Plaster regiments, they have nowhere to escape, Yang Wu also plucked up the courage to argue with Lü Qi at this time, thinking that they have gone, it is better to surrender to the PLA to save their lives, but Lü Qi is still stubborn, do not agree with Yang Wu's ideas, and even ask to confront Yang Wu with a gun, who survives will listen to whom, Yang Wu agreed, and then Lü Qi's bullets were loaded, and without hesitation, he shot Yang Wu, but Yang Wu was willing to hurt his beloved wife, so he did not shoot At Lü Wu, Lü Qian looked at Yang Wu, who was lying in a pool of blood, and for a moment remorse surged into his heart, not planning to continue to resist, so he threw away his gun and did not make any resistance.
