Chapter 230: Battlefield Cooking
When the boat came to the mouth of the Chajiang River, when Gu Xiucai ordered the rudder to be changed, the tiger sister-in-law finally understood that she had been fooled.
At that time, the tiger sister-in-law was in the bow of the boat, looking ahead worriedly. Saving people is like fighting fires, she can't wait to fly to Longquan County immediately, and use the boatload of gold and silver treasures to exchange Brother Tiger and Jade-faced Mouse and others back.
Gu Xiucai, who won the trust of her and Brother Hu, was met by the couple last year.
At that time, the eighteenth platoon was still on the Huling Trail in southern Gansu, guarding the thoroughfare of the three provinces, and the small life was enjoyable. The tiger sister-in-law is in the village, what she wants, and she responds to every call.
At the beginning of spring, Gu Xiucai followed a horse gang from Longchuan and fell ill at Huling Trail. The horse gang entrusted him to Brother Hu, and since then, he has stayed in the village to recuperate from his injuries. He is a good person, and likes to talk and laugh, and often takes the initiative to help the village with some clerical and accounting work, and it didn't take long to win the love of the whole village. Later, when he learned that he left his hometown to go out because he was hiding from his enemies, Brother Tiger invited him to join the Tiger Platoon and be commensurate with brothers. Gu Xiucai has also done things more dedicatedly, and gradually became the right-hand man of the tiger brother and sister-in-law.
It's just that later, the 18th Platoon was soon attacked by the local Jingwei Regiment and lost all the cottages. had no choice but to go to this cloud village laid by the sixteenth row. Despite the dangerous situation, Gu Xiucai has always worked hard and arranged the daily life of the tiger platoon in an orderly manner.
Therefore, Brother Tiger and Sister-in-law have always trusted him and regarded him as their own brother.
Therefore, today Gu Xiucai came back to report that Brother Tiger and the Jade-faced Mouse, the Third Brother and the Ninth Brother and others were all captured by the Luo Butcher and wanted to ransom them with silver money. Sister-in-law Tiger immediately believed it. and immediately decided to empty the cottage warehouse...... Where there is life, there is hope. No matter how much money is more important than the lives of several masters and brothers in the village.
On the Longquan River beach last year, those brothers who were killed are still vividly remembered. How can sister-in-law Tiger not be worried.
She has been standing on the bow of the boat, always thinking that the boat is too slow and too slow, and she can't go to Longquan County immediately. The boat suddenly turned and sailed towards the fork river, and the tiger sister-in-law immediately knew that it was a bad thing. Pulling out the box gun, he was going to find Gu Xiucai. But before she could turn around, Gu Xiucai fired from behind with a box gun and hit her.
Gu Xiucai was afraid of her innate divine power, and she made a dead hand at the beginning, bang, bang, bang, and wanted to empty the entire box gun. But was still copied by the tiger sister-in-law with a pointed penny and smashed his arm? Knocked out the gun. Then he pounced. Just when the tiger sister-in-law pinched him out of breath, several of his henchmen arrived, and a few guns were fired? All out of bullets? to rescue him.
The huge body of the tiger sister-in-law fell, and the wooden boat was shaken? But he is not dead for a while, and his eyes are still wide open? There were words in his mouth: "Excuse me? Brother Tiger? IβI'm not optimistic about the cottage ......."
Gu Xiucai got up? Picked up the box gun and fired several more shots at her? Only then did you hate to order the ship to dock? forced all the entourages to go ashore to pull fibers, pulled the whole boat, entered the Guimen Gorge, went upstream, and came to this valley infested with tigers, leopards and jackals.
Commanding the people to carry the gold and silver treasures into the valley? I found a secluded place to bury it.
Then he and a few henchmen shot indiscriminately and killed the entourage of the cottage.
Now, they are dragging the corpses all over the place, ready to throw them into the river.
As soon as they reached the valley, they saw a line of figures on the rocky beach, which was rapidly approaching.
Before they could see the comers, the bullets rained down, and three or four of them were overturned at once.
They threw the corpses in their hands, lay down on the spot, drew their guns and fired back,
However, they soon discovered that the difference in strength between the two sides was too great. Seven or eight of their guns returned fire, and only two guns were fired at them.
As soon as they showed their heads slightly, the two guns on the opposite side followed them as if they had eyes, and they had to lie still, but they clearly heard the other people on the opposite side pressing up with their guns.
After firing at each other for a while, they finally understood that it was the command team commanded by Xie who had arrived.
They don't have a chance!
The handling of traitors in Jieyunzhai was extremely cruel. Although Xie Yucheng didn't give Lu Qing much time, Lu Qing and the others still played new tricks.
The Ghost Gate Gorge in the early afternoon soon turned into a Shura hell. The terrible cry frightened the birds and beasts to flee in all directions, overshadowing the mountains and rivers.
After executing the traitors and traitors, and burying the bodies of the deceased in the cottage, Xie Yucheng did not touch the gold and silver that had been buried in the ground, and ordered everyone to rest for a while, and then rushed to Tanghuwei by the path.
- Because, Brother Tiger and the Jade-faced Rat are still in the encirclement of the militia group, fighting desperately.
Last night, when the siege broke through in the middle of the night, the traitors hidden in the team made chaos one after another, and several major militia groups took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, and the two teams of Hongzitou and Jiaoyunzhai were once defeated. When they finally gathered the team and the militia surrounded them again, several leaders such as Brother Tiger and Jade-faced Mouse saw that the situation was not good, so they decided to organize a capable blocking team to be responsible for the rear of the palace and cover the evacuation of the brigade.
The tragic battle began again thirty miles west of Tanghuwei. The huge gap in strength made the rear of the palace and the retreating men and horses fail to achieve the set goals. The two groups behind the palace blocked the two hills on the side of the road, and they played the banner of Jieyun Village, and successfully attracted the Longquan Jingwei regiment of Luo Butcher and surrounded them.
The retreating brigade of about 200 people was first caught up by the Guiyang regimental defense bureau with cavalry, and firmly blocked a hillside east of Hankou Village in Hunan and Jiangxi.
When Xie Yucheng led the team to arrive, the sun had already set, and both sides of the war were extremely tired, so they unanimously ceased fire early.
At dusk on the battlefield, there is a rare hint of tranquility.
The dominant militia group took turns to rest and eat in nearby villages.
Tan Chu carried a horsewhip and stood at the entrance of the village, looking at the direction of Tanghu Wei for a long time, waiting for the arrival of Commissioner Yuan Yang and his party.
A guard walked out of the village carrying a pot of wine, came to him, and whispered: "Tan Tou, I searched all over the village, but I only found this pot of grain to cook...... I don't know if Luo Tuan always drinks or not? β
"Gu Yao?" Hearing this, Tan Chu glanced back at the guards and said, "As long as the commissioner can drink two sips, that's it." As for Luo Tuanhu and several other group leaders, whether they drink or not, they don't matter. β
The guard sighed and turned and walked to a small courtyard by the side of the road.
Smoke was already wafting in the small courtyard, and several guards and a farmer were surrounding the chickens and ducks in the yard, chasing them all over the yard.
A reed chicken was cornered by the new guards, so it had to cluck and cluck, and flew up the fence with its wings. When Tan Chu saw it, he pulled out the horsewhip in his hand, and with a sound of the horn, he beat the reed chicken into feathers, fell off the fence in a daze, pinned one leg into the bamboo fence, and hung it upside down.
In a panic, it chirped to itself, flapping its wings and struggling.
The guard caught up with two steps, grabbed it, and laughed: "Where is it not good to go, I want to hit my Tan's whip down ......, isn't it your bad luck." Turning to the farmer a few steps away, he squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Hey, this old watch, why are you clumsy, you can't catch your own chickens and ducks, look, our Chief Tan only whipped it, and then pulled it off...... Come, catch it, slaughter the ...... quickly, it's going to be dark, if you can't even get rid of the two appetizers, a few chiefs are coming, but be careful of your skin! β
When the farmer saw this, he quickly greeted him, listened to the guard's words, and was happy: "Oh, this soldier, look at what you said, how can we countrymen compare to the generals who lead the troops to fight?" Don't worryβthe vegetables that should be washed and cut have been prepared in advance, just wait to kill this chicken, mix it with chili peppers and stir-fry, just in time for the commanders to drink. β
"One?" The guard's eyebrows furrowed, and his eyes narrowed, "Where is enough for one?" Don't you forget a few of us who were soldiers, old watch? β
"Ha, how can you, Master Bing. I prepared it early, two chickens and two ducks, and the package was fried fragrantly, just right to go with wine. β
When the two in the courtyard were answering each other, Tan Chu, who was on the side of the road at the entrance of the village outside the wall, suddenly frowned, and saw a group of cavalry galloping on the road west of the village, led by a man in his forties, full of fat and meat, squeezing the uniform on his body crookedly.
Tan Chu immediately recognized that this was He Jiuling, the head of the Guiyang Regiment Defense Bureau, and walked forward with a smile and greeted him: "Ah, He Tuan has arrived?" You're a distant traveler, so you're the first to arrive. β
This He Jiuling used to be a patrol in Shamian, Guangzhou, and stood guard for foreigners for a few days, and after returning to his hometown, he got into contact with the current Hunan Governor and successfully obtained the post of regimental commander of the Guiyang Regimental Defense Bureau.
Tan Chu also secretly understood that this Guiyang League Defense Bureau was originally a mess, but since He Jiuling took over, it has completely changed, and it has become the base camp of pornography, gambling and drugs in Guiyang.
When Commissioner Yuan Yang learned of this situation, he was so angry that he immediately sent troops to take him down. But let Tan Chu persuade him. Tan Chu said: At present, on the border of Hunan and Jiangxi, bandits are rampant, and the people are in turmoil. If you still don't know how to rein in and continue to do nonsense, it's not too late to take it again.
After He Jiuling learned of this situation, he was shocked and frightened, and couldn't help but be grateful to Tan Chu. Therefore, as soon as he received a message from Tan Chu today, asking him to come to Shawei Village to drink, he left the red letter in the encirclement of the mountain, ignored it, took a group of guards, got on the horse and hurried over.
Even passing by the position of the Lianyong Jing Guard Regiment, he only sent someone to report it, and he didn't even stop, so he galloped by.
Now seeing Tan Chu coming from afar to greet him, he hurriedly rolled the saddle and dismounted, hugged his fists to meet him, and his face was full of joy: "Ha, I don't have any other benefits, it's just delicious!" As soon as I heard that Lieutenant Colonel Tan was treated, I couldn't hold back my saliva, so I had to hurry up! Haha, haha! The two exchanged pleasantries and came to the door of the farmhouse courtyard at the entrance of the village.
"Oh, Commissioner Yuan and President Luo Tuan, haven't they arrived yet?" He Jiuling smiled and whispered to Tan Chu, "That's right." Lao He prepared some small gifts, and asked his brother to accept them! Turning his head and shouting to the guards following him, "Bring that pack of gifts and let Lieutenant Colonel Tan pass by." β
With the shout, the guards took a big black donkey, He Jiuling took it, and insisted that Tan Chu accept it, Tan Chu was not hypocritical, laughed, called out a guard, led the donkey into the small courtyard of the farmhouse, and then beckoned He Jiuling into the courtyard.
"Gu Yao?" Hearing this, Tan Chu glanced back at the guards and said, "As long as the commissioner can drink two sips, that's it." As for Luo Tuanhu and several other group leaders, whether they drink or not, they don't matter. β
The guard sighed and turned and walked to a small courtyard by the side of the road.
