Chapter 2: Sharpening the Edge (Part 2)

A moment later, Mu Yangren, a dog-headed military master dressed as a Taoist priest, arrived on horseback, arched his hand at Arslan with a defeated old face, and asked in a low voice, "What is the big boss looking for me?" The enemy is about to go to war, so it's best not to change your deployment lightly......"

"Of course it's a very important thing!" Ars frowned, thinking that he was using this person for the sake of getting this person at the moment, and didn't think too much about it, "It's just a caravan, and I don't need you and me to be too nervous." Ben Du suddenly felt that after slaughtering this batch of fat sheep, our team needs to increase some manpower! What do you think? ”

As he spoke, he kept his eyes in the direction of his allies on the left and right. Unexpectedly, Mu Junshi, who has always been good at figuring out his intentions, reacted surprisingly slowly today, and followed Arslan's gaze for a long time before turning his head and muttering in response: "If you can raise enough money and food, you should expand the team." But ......."

"Don't tell me that useless nonsense!" I wanted to hear a few words of flattery but didn't hear it, Arslan was a little annoyed in his heart, shook the whip hard, and ordered gloomily, "Ben Du has made a decision. You just have to figure out how to get things done! People, I want. But it's better for them to obediently hand over the team, lest everyone tear their faces and everyone will be embarrassed in the end! ”

Mu Yangren instinctively dodged back, his face becoming more and more gray. After pondering for a long time, he said quietly: "If the big boss insists on this, there is a ready-made idea here. But if it spreads, it will inevitably ruin the reputation of the big boss! ”

Arslan frowned, very tired of Mu Daoren's verbosity, "Fame is a bird!" Kuche Nose Shi, Asirandha, and that Bolbo, who of them has a better reputation? Say, if the idea works, Ben Du will benefit you in the future! ”

Mu Yangren hesitated for a moment, sighed, and added in a low voice, "In this case, when 'killing sheep' for a while, why should the big boss let the brothers move a little slower!" The caravan that can make no one come back from the eyeliner that steps on the plate will definitely not be too weak. Let's first design so that a handful of sand, snow hitting, old north wind and upside down willows they rushed up desperately, rushing to the bones. Then the big boss invited them to rest with us in the name of taking care of the lottery number. At that time, I'm afraid that even if they don't want to go, they won't have the courage to shirk it! ”

The idea is indeed gloomy enough, but it seems a little too wishful. After all, the bosses of the other four gang of horse thieves are also rolling out of the tip of the knife, and it is impossible not to be wary at all! Arslan pondered for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "Are they willing to jump down such an obvious trap?" Once you see it, won't it delay the Governor's serious business?! ”

"The big boss also said just now that the opponent is just a caravan, no matter how strong it is, how strong can it be?" Mu Yangren arched his hand and annotated in Arslan's own words, "Besides, those four people are all poor and crazy. As long as the big boss agreed with them in advance, whoever was the first to break through the caravan defense circle would have the right to divide seventy percent of the goods. Will they fall behind us? ”

"Hah, that's a great idea!" Arslan happily swung the whip in his hand up and down, almost slapping Mu Yangren's eyes. "Okay, well, this governor will invite a few of them over to make an agreement. You, what should you be busy with and what you should continue to be busy with! ”

"Yes!" The military advisor Mu Yangren straightened his robe, gave Arslan a deep salute, and then slowly turned the horse's head.

"It's okay, why do you give such a solemn gift to Lao Tzu?" Arslan was stunned by the other party, and scolded with a smile, "You stinky god, don't you feel unbearable?" Haha, since you can't bear it, why did you come up with such a sinister idea for Ben Tuke?! ”

The military advisor Mu Yangren didn't seem to hear his words, bent his waist, and slowly went to the rear. The robe embroidered with a flame pattern looked particularly dirty at this moment. "This stinky stick!" Arslan cursed in a low voice again, pouting and muttering, "It's only been a few days since I whipped you, and your tail is cocked." Wait, wait until Ben Governor cleans up those few pieces first, and then he will find a way to clean you up! ”

Enough of the scolding, he took charge of himself and ordered someone to invite the other four gang of horse thieves to come to the discussion. Put on a posture that Lao Tzu has settled a few of you, and forcibly ask everyone to agree to the condition that whoever breaks through the caravan defense circle first will share seventy percent of the goods. When the rest of the big bosses who came to help heard this, they immediately made a fuss and scolded Arslan for not following the rules.

"Rules? If the governor of Pontus hadn't thought that everyone was in the same league, he wouldn't have pulled a few of you to get rich together! Arslan pursed his lips and sneered loudly, "Okay, just follow the rules, whoever contributes more will take the big lead." There were 1,500 brothers under the command of the Governor of Pontus, all of whom were of the first rank. Look at what you've got under your hands. I know that I'm here to help the Pontus Governor.,I don't know.,It's because there's a group of people called Hanako who play the autumn wind! ”

"There have been no pedestrians on this road for more than half a year!"

"What about a lot of people? It's a big deal, let's break up. Lao Tzu is no longer waiting, you go desperately with the caravan by yourself! ”

The crowd was angry and yelled. But in my heart, I had to admit that my own strength was indeed much worse than Arslan.

"Okay, didn't you say follow the rules? According to the rules, the governor of Pontus is the Lord, and you are the guests. According to the rules, there are many governors in Pontus, but few of you. Therefore the governor wants to divide seventy percent of the goods, what do you have to say? Hmph, directly Bendu's kindness will give you a chance to share more mutton, but you still take Ponturake's kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs......" Arslan had already made up his mind and pretended to be angry and ruined to fight with the other party.

A few big bosses, you say, I say, I haven't come up with a clue after arguing for a long time. Sha Qianqi, the leader of a handful of sand, couldn't support it first, gritted his teeth, and said loudly: "Yes, just follow your way." But those who break through the caravan's defensive circle first will be divided into sixty percent at most. If you don't do it, if not, Sha would rather leave immediately than wait! ”

"Yes, Huang also has this idea!" Huang Wanshan, the leader of Xue Dawang, has always been angry with Sha Qianli, and when he saw that his good friend was really ready to pick a pick, he also echoed it.

Arslan's heart was clearly happy, but his face still made a very unwilling look, "Even if everyone is not in order, this governor's side should be divided into fifty." Ben Governor is kind ......."

"Whew! If you have good intentions, all the wild wolves in the desert will become living Arhats! Sejirahu, the leader of the old north wind, spat on the ground and interrupted with a sneer, "Sixty percent at most!" Do you want to do it? Don't dry pull down! ”

Hua Thirteen, the leader of the uprooted willows, saw that everyone was defeated one after another, and he didn't want to die alone to the end. He smiled and said in a low voice, "Even if we take advantage of you, won't we?" Your Arslan family has a big business, why bother with us poor ghosts?! Sixty percent, anyway, put the flag that is yours into the center of the caravan first! ”

"That's not sure. Who can foresee everything in advance about the war! Arslan picked up the bargain and sold it, and responded abruptly. Sixty is sixty percent, who told Ben to take a few of you as friends! After saying that, after I gave the order here, everyone rushed forward together. No one is allowed to take the lead! ”

"Good, good. Everything came as you said! Sha Qianli looked at his good friend Huang Wanshan, pouted and sneered.

Huang Wanshan didn't look down on Arslan in the first place, but at this moment, he felt more and more that the other party's image was dirty, so he simply turned his mount and left without saying a word.

"How to go. We haven't sworn an oath yet! Arslan was in a hurry, rode after a few steps, and shouted loudly.

"Everyone said good things, except for you Arslan, who of us dares to disobey?" Sha Qianli sneered a few more times, rode his horse over Arslan, and went to chase his good friend Huang Wanshan.

Arslan was originally pretentious, so as not to be seen by everyone to have any flaws. After listening to Sha Qianli's taunt, he took advantage of the situation and grabbed the reins of the war horse. Seeing this, the leader of the old north wind, Sejirahu, and the leader of the upside-down willows, Hua Thirteen, also felt very uncomfortable. Shrugging his shoulders, he turned his horse in the opposite direction of Huang Wanshan.

In the blink of an eye, the four big bosses who came to discuss the matter all left Bantianyun's team. Huang Wanshan, who was walking on the left side, suddenly tightened the reins of his mount, and after his good friend Sha Qianli caught up from behind, he said in a low voice: "You say, this Arslan, what the hell is the idea!" His eye sockets aren't really that shallow, are they? ”

"A robber leader who kills people and sells goods, no matter how long-term his vision is, where can he go in the long run?!" Sha Qianli, the leader of a handful of sand, shook his head and responded with a wry smile. "There are a lot of soldiers and big fists, you and I should bear with it!"

"That's not what I said!" Huang Wanshan shook his head and sighed in a low voice. The other party is a bandit leader, and he is short-sighted, so how good is he doing? The same lives by killing people and goods, and the same hands are stained with innocent blood.

"What do you mean by that!" Sha Qianli continued to smile bitterly, "Could it be that you are really moved by the sixty percent of the goods?" Don't say that with this little manpower under you and me, you may not be able to come out on top. Even if he is lucky enough to break through the circle of the caravan first, will Arslanken fulfill his promise later? ”

"You mean. Not only does he want to share the bulk of the goods, but he also wants to swallow us?! Huang Wanshan was slightly stunned, lowered his voice and asked rhetorically.

"Didn't you notice it? Arslan is really good at talking today. On weekdays, who can dig out half of the goods from his mouth?! ”

"Shhh Huang Wanshan pulled out his beard. He did sense Arslan's intentions, but he didn't think so deeply. "If he swallows us, he won't be afraid of the tree?"

"If the tree is big enough, it won't be afraid!" Sha Qianli said a word. "I heard that the cripple is going to lead the troops over! After doing such a good thing, will the lame man be spared a dog's life when the seal cripple arrives? ”

"Shhh Huang Wanshan accidentally ripped off a small tuft of his beard. It hurts so much that I inhale cold air. If the Khan is executed, there will inevitably be a power gap in the area of Zhezhi City. Asiranda was born recklessly, and may not be able to swallow the whole Dawan in one bite. At that time, there will inevitably be another storm on both sides of the river. It's no wonder that Arslan is planning ahead. If Huang Wanshan and Sha Qianli were in the same position as Arslan, they might not be able to resist this temptation.

However, at this moment, Sha Qianli thought of a different situation. After being silent for a moment, he gritted his teeth and discussed with his good friend in a low voice, "Brother, as an elder brother, ask you a word, are you living a nourishing life like this?" ”

"Moisten the bullshit!" Huang Wanshan knocked on the stirrup and responded in a deep voice, "If it weren't for the reluctance to bury the last brother on the road in vain, Lao Tzu would have turned around and gone east." Even if he dies, he is the ghost of our Anxi Army! Lao Sha, do you want to tell me that the army should be sealed by the lame. You can rest assured, as soon as his banner comes out of the green mountains, Lao Tzu will immediately lead people to greet him! ”

Sha Qianli nodded lightly, his voice was actually a little choked, "Although the lame man is old-fashioned. But he's not an unreasonable guy either. In that year, Talas was defeated, and the soldiers could not find a general, and they would not be able to find a soldier. It's not easy to survive. As long as there is still half of humanity in his heart, he will not hold us accountable for the fault of killing people and selling goods over the years. Therefore, this little brother in our hands cannot be swallowed up by Arslan under any circumstances. We've survived so many years, and we can't fall on the last few days! ”

"Hmm!" Huang Wanshan responded in a low voice, tears in the tiger's eyes swirling gently. Nearly 20,000 troops went out to fight, and finally followed Gao Xianzhi to retreat to Anxi, only less than 1,000 people. The rest were either killed in battle, or captured by the Great Cannibals and sold as slaves to the West. He and dozens of his brothers fought their way out of the sea of blood in the mountain of corpses and escaped into the sea of thousands of miles.

After the Great Eclipse Army withdrew, he and his brothers made a living by plundering. gradually became famous by the waterside of the medicine brake. Soon, on a occasional occasion, I came across Sha Qianli, who also crawled out of the pile of dead people. In order to avoid becoming the target of attention of several nearby forces, the two did not dare to join forces and expand their strength unscrupulously. I just want to be able to return to Anxi with my brothers one day. Back to the Central Plains, back to his own fifteen acres of Yongye field

This dream is the driving force that sustains the two and their brothers in their respective commands. Therefore, no one can think of waking it up. Not even with a knife on your neck. After a while, Huang Wanshan wiped the corners of his eyes and said in a low voice: "Lao Sha, how should I pass this level?" You say. You have a lot of ideas, I'll just follow you. ”

"Even if we don't fight with the caravan and lose both, we won't be able to escape Arslan's concern afterwards!" Sha Qianli thought about it, gritted his teeth and said, "So, let's only do this later......."
