Chapter 859: Barberry at the foot of the Barberry Mountain

After Mai Ke subdued Jiang Jizhou, Jiang Jizhou betrayed his son-in-law to Mai Ke as a meeting gift.

Sure enough, the prestige of the old father-in-law was unmatched for a while, Zhang Zhongjing's descendants and contemporary family advocated one hand, and Zhang Heng's descendant and contemporary family advocated Tian Yuan, as soon as they heard the call of their father-in-law, they immediately came to the Jiang family compound.

They don't dare to disobey the call of the old man, otherwise a "Mount Tai" will be overwhelming, although it will not be shattered, chickens and dogs will inevitably jump.

The two hurried over, only to see the old father-in-law drinking with the two of them.

One person knows it, and that is the head of the Zhuge family who usually has very little road surface.

The other young man had never met before, and he didn't know where it was sacred, but the golden knife of Malaysia sat on the main seat, and the old man who was the master was sitting sideways, toasting cloth dishes and smiling faces.

Jiang Jizhou saw that the two of them were not slow, and he was also satisfied, so he smiled and asked the two to sit down, of course, it was also a horizontal fight.

Erzhang feels weird everywhere, the old man is not so approachable on weekdays!

Zhang Tianyuan and Zhang sat down with one hand, out of politeness, nodded to Mai Ke, and then bowed to Zhuge Xuanji, and then said to Jiang Jizhou: "I don't know if my father has recruited my son-in-law to come, what is there to send?"

Jiang Jizhou smiled, kept talking about it, and said: "It's not me who sent you, but he sent you! Even I was sent by him, and there was also the head of the Zhuge family, so in front of him, where would I dare to send it." ”

The two turned to Mai Ke again: "Who are you sacred, Lord Yue, who came to send us? Not a liar, are you?" Both of them are technocrats, what do they have in their hearts. expressed it directly, and then looked at Mai Ke with a straight glare, and there was a big disagreement with him, and he immediately started fighting.

"Hehehe! I have seen the two heads of the family! The holy doctor Zhang Gongzhongjing and the sage Zhang Gongheng are very respectful, and when I see their descendants today, I will accept my gift if I see them in my life!"

At that moment, Mai Ke stood up and gave the two of them a deep look.

The two of them were also very happy to see this guy's sincere respect for his ancestors. Hurriedly returned a gift.

This is a tribute to their ancestors. Of course, they must return the gift on behalf of their descendants, otherwise it will be too unsympathetic.

Unexpectedly, what the young man said next scared the two of them. They would have stood up and saluted. After it was over, Li Gang was about to sit down. Frightened, he sat down half of his body and immediately rebounded back!

"I'm Mai Ke. The Grand Commander of the Heavenly Army!"

Oh my god, how did this killing god come here?

The children of the two Zhang families have their own business all over the country, so the news is very well-informed, and Mai Keqi has already communicated their intelligence network and summarized it to the headquarters of the Erzhang family, so although the two family heads saw the real person for the first time today, his name has already been like thunder.

Since the two of them were so frightened that they stood up, they pushed the boat down the river and hurriedly revisited Mai Ke: "I don't know if Mai Ke is in person, I can't meet him from afar, there are many rudenesses, don't be surprised if you offend!"

Mai Ke waved his hand generously and said, "It's okay, I don't care about small things, as long as the big festival is not lost, it's easy to say!"

The second Zhang is like falling into the fog for five miles, and he doesn't know what his big festival is.

Zhuge Xuanji and Jiang Jizhou of course know that the so-called big festival is just one word, which is beneficial to the kingdom of heaven!

They looked at the confused Erzhang, and didn't elaborate, just woke him up and told him to continue listening to Mai Ke.

So Mai Ke told him the purpose of the Kingdom of Heaven and the benefits for the converts.

In order to deepen the impression and increase the persuasiveness of the two people, Mai Ke Knowledge introduced a synopsis, let them know that these are the copyrights of the kingdom of heaven, and then handed them over to the two family masters who have already surrendered, and let them show up to speak.

It is not the first time that the witness of the head of the Zhuge family has been calm, and he is just telling one thing, but Jiang Jizhou is different, his excitement has not calmed down, and he has to confirm how correct his step is in front of his son-in-law, so his testimony is full of emotion and pride.

Not only were the people who said it excited, but the people who listened were also enthusiastic.

As a result, under the condition that Mai Ke guaranteed equal treatment, Zhang Yishou and Zhang Tianyuan obediently entered the kingdom of heaven.

At this time, Mai Ke's eighty-degree inventory was reduced by another five bottles.

The five of them were not in a hurry to disperse, and then discussed what to do next.

Mai Ke mentioned that there are still three major problems to be solved, and four people need to contribute ideas.

Before everyone discussed the specifics, Mai Ke announced the establishment of a think tank to guide all the activities of the Kingdom of Heaven in this region.

The members of the think tank are the five people present: Zhuge Xuanji, the head of the Zhuge family, Jiang Jizhou, the head of the Jiang family, Tian Yuan, the head of the Zhang Heng family, Zhang Yishou, the head of the Zhang Zhongjing family, and of course, Mai Ke.

And the most important thing is to take down the bandit den in Funiu Mountain!

Jiang Jizhou's face was full of red light and shouted: "Good wine!"

Zhuge Xuanji's little white face turned pale for a while, and he also shouted: "It's really exciting!"

Mai Ke connected two cities, and increased his confidence in the submission of the other three great clans.

When Jiang Jizhou asked what to do next, Mai Ke told him by the way, the most urgent thing is to solve the two sheets of the south gate, and it is best to return to Shun;

Jiang Jizhou laughed when he heard this!

Mai Ke was stunned for a while, not knowing what was so funny about this.

Zhuge Xuanji's eyes rolled, and he also smiled with relief, and said to Mai Ke: "I know why Lao Jiang is laughing, it turns out that he has already made up his mind! The heads of those two families are Lao Jiang's fast sons-in-law! Not only that, because the two families have their own specializations, and they are not good at strategy, so the major policies are all planned by the Jiang family! Therefore, it can be said that more than half of these two Zhang families are the masters of the Jiang family; the Jiang family is the master, that is, the Jiang brother is the master, how can he not laugh? This is a great merit!"

"That's exactly the case!" Jiang Jizhou affirmed, "I have taken care of the surrender of these two families! ”

In order to cover Zhang Zhidong, the martial arts masters of the mixed brigade have made up their minds to die. How can you surrender lightly?

The people of the Turtle Gate are even more stubborn, and their highest task is to ensure the safety of the three beautiful lives, and the possibility of surrender is even more minimal.

Therefore, although Mai Ke had the intention to accept their surrender, and was carried out by the troops below, this good intention to really fight did not alleviate the tragic course of the whole battle.

And because of the level of martial arts of these people. Apparently higher than the pirates and bandits in front. This makes the battle extremely fierce!

Among them, the mixed brigade resisted the most resolutely.

Now these 200 martial arts masters are all under the command of their leader, Zhang Renyong.

This Zhang Renyong is twenty years old this year, has strong martial arts, and is even more loyal to Zhang Zhidong.

Although he is six years older than Jang Zhidong. but obeyed him. In fact, he was originally Zhang Zhidong's nephew who did not come out of Wufu.

And this time the mixed brigade that came to India with Zhang Zhidong. It can be said that it is Zhang Zhidong's disciple soldier!

The completion of this subordinate army is still with the help of Zeng Guofan's regimental training.

Zhang Zhidong's hometown of Nanpi, located in Lingzhou, the hometown of martial arts, has long been suppressed by the Manchus. However, the folk customs are fierce and the practice of martial arts is prosperous, as in the past, but there is no usual fanfare.

Half of the martial arts masters who were with Zhang Renyong were from Nanpi's hometown, and the rest were summoned from other places, but they were all commanded by Renyong, and Zhang Zhidong demanded that all the people in the mixed brigade should absolutely obey the command of the commander.

And these chiefs are all members of Zhang Zhidong's clan, and at the same time, they are only responsible to Zhang Zhidong.

This kind of army, which was maintained by feudal clans, should be the most cohesive armed force in this era, and the Hunan and Huai armies established at the same time were generally the same way.

The leader of the disciples of the 100 Divine Turtle Gate is Yokoji Toshida, who is also from a wealthy family, but he is much worse than the Koizumi family, so at the critical moment, he was left as cannon fodder.

Henglu is clear about this kind of treatment of himself, but he has no complaints!

He believes that there is only one kind of warrior with the spirit of bushido, that is, he does not flinch in the face of difficulties, and death cannot be stopped at all.

Therefore, in the face of the mortal situation, he and Zhang Renyong each held one side and blocked the path pursued by the Heavenly Army!

These people's martial arts are both high and they are fighting to the death, and Mai Ke really doesn't have a particularly effective way to end the battle quickly in a short time.

He even brought the Flying Fortress into battle, and it turned out that there was little progress.

It turns out that these people are not only extremely vigilant, but also have natural or built obstacles that make it impossible for goshawks who rely on air superiority to attack.

After each of them paid the price of dozens of casualties, the Celestial Army stopped making those ineffective efforts, but just surrounded them.

About an hour later, Zhang Renyong began to retreat, because Zhang Zhidong had instructions in advance, and after blocking for an hour, he could find an opportunity to transfer.

At the same time, he also greeted Yokoji Toshidai and asked him to retreat together.

Henglu didn't know the inside story, and thought that Zhang Renyong was cowardly, and almost fought with him, and a full-time interpreter explained and communicated for a long time before he knew that it was an order from above.

Henglu was also refreshing, immediately apologized to Zhang Renyong, and volunteered to take the initiative to cover for the retreat.

Zhang Renyong admired Henglu's temper, and also saw his loyalty and honesty, and expressed his gratitude for his benevolence, but did not agree to his request, but the two teams were together, advancing and retreating together.

Mai Ke, who was closely watching the enemy's movements, had already sensed that these people had the intention of retreating, and of course he couldn't let them succeed!

Not only did he intend to let them escape, even those who had fled earlier.

The one who killed me, wants to go unpunished, and there is no door!

Zhang Zhidong and they ran away, and there were also some tricks to cover their whereabouts temporarily, but could their petty fights allow them to escape for a long distance?

Apparently this is not possible!

Mai Ke estimated that they were returning to their permanent base this time, which should be under the jurisdiction of the Manchus, and where would they have a reserve force.

Cutting off their outstretched claws will not solve the problem fundamentally, and it is necessary to completely destroy their old nest in order to solve it once and for all!

There is still a month left before the ontological war to overthrow the Manchus, and if the international columns here are not completely resolved, they will inevitably take the opportunity to cause trouble. Affects the achievement of the main battlefield goals.

Therefore, during the period just now, it seemed that the battle situation was delayed, but in fact, Mai Ke did two things during this period.

The first thing is that he is constantly deploying troops every second, since he wants to destroy the enemy's lair, he needs to concentrate superior forces.

What made Mai Ke feel greatly relieved of the pressure was that the tenth brother Li Xiucheng had just arrived!

Not only did he arrive by himself, but he also brought the loyal king Li Xiucheng in history.

Not only did the two generals arrive. They also brought the elite soldiers they had collected.

Listen to the introduction of Brother Ten. When he found Li Xiucheng in Tengxian County, Wuzhou, he was wandering around, earning a living by working part-time jobs, and the two met and changed the direction of the historical hero's life.

And then. The two were like-minded. Working together and doing a lot of things.

First of all, Li Xiucheng no longer has to worry about food and clothing. Although Li Xiucheng did not have formal contact with Mai Ke, the powerful financial helper that Mai Ke found was in Gwangju, and Wuzhou also had the Ning family's industry.

Li Xiucheng gathered all the heroes and heroes he had met together to accumulate strength for the overthrow of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

So this time, as soon as he heard Mai Ke's call, he immediately brought all these forces over, with a total of thirty martial arts masters and three hundred and sixty strong soldiers.

The second thing, Mai Ke was loose and tight, although Zhang Zhidong and the others were gone on the surface, he scattered a large amount of reconnaissance force, looking for their traces everywhere, and then followed the vine and found their general base.

It turned out that the headquarters of the International Column was built on Chogori Peak, the second highest peak in the world!

Since he was determined to attack the enemy's lair, not only avenging the slaughter of the city for the people of Heaven, but also eradicating future troubles, Mai Ke could not let these people who blocked the pursuers go!

It's best if you surrender, and if you don't surrender, you will be beaten until you surrender!

As soon as he came, he caught up with the war, and Li Xiucheng took the initiative to ask for war.

Li Xiucheng also wanted to see Li Xiucheng's vision and strength, and also asked Mai Ke to fight together.

If the enemy in front of you can't be solved, it will be difficult to bear the big task in the future!

Mai Ke thought about it for a while, and then agreed to the two of them's invitation to fight.

However, he sent his beggar's guard at the same time, either to rescue people when he was in danger, or to extend the victory after victory.

The two brothers walked side by side, followed by thirty martial arts masters, and then three hundred and sixty warriors.

Without exception, everyone has a red tassel gun.

All of them were dressed in white armor, which accentuated the red tassels on their guns.

These people have been recuperating for a while, and once the battle spirit is urged, it will explode in an instant, and the enemy has been met in the blink of an eye!

The two brothers happened to meet Zhang Renyong and Yokoji Junda, who were broken by each other, and as soon as they engaged, they reached the peak peak!

Don't look at Li Xiucheng's modest appearance, but he is a typical soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, you live and die on the battlefield, and your inner strength attribute is definitely vividly revealed!

I saw that his red tassel spear stabbed straight in the chest, bringing a gust of wind, which actually made Xiang Henglu, who was famous for his bravery, feel frightened, and in an emergency, he had to jump sideways, and the katana was cross-wheeled, intending to break the gun.

Who knows, the incoming gun is so powerful that not only did it not stop the incoming gun, but instead snatched his katana and flew around, circling in a circle, and flying into the air!

Henglu was stunned, and he felt that his chest was cold, like falling into an ice cave in midsummer, and it was cold inside and out!

Henglu's subordinates all saw this scene, only to see a ray of red light coming out of the chest and back of the leader they admired, and then fell to the ground!

Zhang Renyong, who was confronting Li Xiucheng, swept the death of Henglu out of the corner of his eye, and he was also surprised in his heart: This Henglu's martial arts are on par with himself, how can he lose so miserably as soon as he joins?

Zhang Renyong's martial arts are at most on par with Li Xiucheng, how can he be distracted?

His slight distraction just gave the alert and nimble opponent an opportunity to seize the opportunity, "Smack!" The long sword in his hand was knocked out!

Then Li Xiucheng stepped forward, lightly stretched his ape arm, and went to the front chest to the big hole, and captured Zhang Renyong alive!

It turned out that this Li Xiucheng also learned Mai Ke's acupoint technique very well.

And he was more careful not to kill people, and whenever possible, to avoid causing death.

It is also Zhang Renyong's fate, if he changes positions with Henglu, he will also enter the end of Henglu.

When the thirty martial arts masters in the back saw the leader's meritorious service, their morale was greatly boosted, and they rushed forward and rushed into the enemy formation!

And those members of the international column, who were already retiring, saw the two leaders whose martial arts were much higher than their own. One died, one was captured, all of them fought with fear, and their combat power dropped in an instant!

These masters of the Heavenly Army, like their leaders, saw an enemy who looked the same as Henglu, and went up to cut melons and vegetables, and they tried their best to capture those who seemed to be Zhang Renyong's gang alive without harming their lives.

As a result, those Turtlemen fought very fiercely, although all 100 people were killed. It also caused more than 30 injuries on the side of the Heavenly Army.

If it weren't for the use of Lingxi, it would be diagnosed and treated in time. At least twenty people will die here.

After handing over the prisoners to the accompanying field divisions, Mai Ke led all the encirclement forces to the north.

Sitting on the train of the three-in-one hub project, of course.

Taking advantage of the transportation, it is estimated that although it has been delayed for so much time, it will not be much later than Zhang Zhidong and the others, and the heavenly army can take a car. On the contrary, it can be regarded as waiting for work!

As Mai Ke predicted. At this time, Zhang Zhidong and the others who escaped were still struggling with the last section of the mountain road!

Along. Zhang Zhidong always had a bad premonition, feeling that his blocking power might be difficult to intercept the pursuit of the Heavenly Army, and he didn't believe that Mai Ke would let him go.

If there was no slaughter of Mardan. There may still be room for maneuver, and everyone may be more polite when they fight, but as a result, a massacre of the city, he cut off many lives, and also pushed himself to a desperate situation.

There is only one possibility for his own survival, that is, he must not let Mai Ke have the upper hand!

If he was on the way to escape, he felt like a pig that had been washed and waiting to be slaughtered, basically there was no other way out except for a knife, and only by escaping to the main base could he be safe!

Chogori Peak, the hitherto unreached mountain, this savage peak, has been transformed into a huge castle by him.

Not only is there plenty of supplies inside, but it also has multi-level defense and sortie facilities, and more importantly, a large number of fighters are gathered there, all of whom are elites collected from various countries!

Otherwise, how can it be worthy of the name of the international column?

His original plan was to stand at the top of this world, this is located at the junction of the three continents of Europe, Asia and Africa, look down on the heroes, look at the world, see where there is a need, where there is an opportunity, take advantage of the trend, volley, and take the overall situation of the whole world into his own hands.

The first step to solve Mai Ke's troubles was just a small test, and he personally went out to lead his core masters, plus the always invincible Dongying warriors, it was only a matter of time before he destroyed Mai Ke.

Unexpectedly, the ending was similar to what I originally thought, but the positions of the two sides were just opposite.

He himself didn't have a small test of Mai Ke, but he became Mai Ke's small test.

How could I be so unlucky, just as a fledgling, to encounter such a monster?

While thinking, I tried my best to complete the last part of the journey, and a rumbling sound came from far and near!

Zhang Zhidong took a look, ah? Mai Ke chased after him!

Since the two of them were so frightened that they stood up, they pushed the boat down the river and hurriedly revisited Mai Ke: "I don't know if Mai Ke is in person, I can't meet him from afar, there are many rudenesses, don't be surprised if you offend!"

Mai Ke waved his hand generously and said, "It's okay, I don't care about small things, as long as the big festival is not lost, it's easy to say!"

The second Zhang is like falling into the fog for five miles, and he doesn't know what his big festival is.

Zhuge Xuanji and Jiang Jizhou of course know that the so-called big festival is just one word, which is beneficial to the kingdom of heaven!

They looked at the confused Erzhang, and didn't elaborate, just woke him up and told him to continue listening to Mai Ke.

So Mai Ke told him the purpose of the Kingdom of Heaven and the benefits for the converts.

In order to deepen the impression and increase the persuasiveness of the two people, Mai Ke Knowledge introduced a synopsis, let them know that these are the copyrights of the kingdom of heaven, and then handed them over to the two family masters who have already surrendered, and let them show up to speak.

And the main thing is to take down the bandits' den in Funiu Mountain!.
