Yang Zhaofeng didn't close his eyes all night last night, full of worries about what to do next. Although they sabotaged Liang Shizheng and Yang San's attempt to defect to Kong Quanbin, they still controlled nearly two-thirds of the 2,000 Tsing Yi Army. Hu Jiusi's authoritative position in the army has long been shaken, and the possibility of relying on Hu Jiusi to influence the movements of the Tsing Yi Army is not so clear.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Yang Zhaofeng, who was wrapped in a thick coat, got out of the camp. It was already the middle of the hour, but it was still dark and silent outside, and the cold wind kept cutting through the face, almost forcing people to open their eyes.

There was a post specially sent to serve Yang Zhaofeng outside the tent, and the one on duty at the moment was a young soldier with a baby face, who looked like he was at most sixteen or seventeen years old. He heard about the performance of Yang Zhaofeng and others at the banquet last night, and he admired it very much in his heart, and then he heard the sound, and hurriedly greeted him and said, "Staff Officer Yang, it's not time yet, why did you get up?" ”

"I woke up suddenly, the quilt was cold and uncomfortable." Yang Zhaofeng's face had already been stiffened by the wind, and he barely squeezed out a smile at the young soldier, "I'm afraid that I will fall asleep again, come out and be sober." ”

"Oh, oh......" The young soldier shook his body slightly because of the cold or excitement, and was nervously speechless to the general in front of him, who was not much different from his age.

Yang Zhaofeng's gaze unintentionally swept to the soldier's right hand holding the wooden spear, and saw that the back of the hand had already frozen black and purple in the cold night, and frowned: "There are no gloves in the camp?" ”

"Yes!" The young soldier hurriedly took over the conversation, and as soon as he looked up, two drops of snot flowed out unconsciously, he sucked it twice and didn't suck it back, so he didn't care about it, and was busy answering, "But that's only the hairy dog people and the sentry people, and we can't wear it when it's our turn." ”

"Hairy dog people" and "sentry people" are all the boss positions among the stick thieves, and Yang Zhaofeng naturally knows this. In the Zhao battalion, only officers above the captain level can obtain exclusive gloves, but unlike the Tsing Yi Army, under the organization of Zhao Dangshi and He Kewei, the Zhao battalion also specially gathered a batch of winter boots, winter clothes and gloves for public use, not to individuals, only to the soldiers on duty. Although the quality of these shared cold supplies varies, they can somewhat help the soldiers on duty in the cold wind to resist some cold invasion. Just like at the moment, Yang Zhaofeng knew that without the isolation of leather, the right palm of the young soldier who was close to the barrel of the gun must have been frozen and unconscious, and if he did not take care of it in time after the end of the shift, he was likely to be disabled for life. There is a chance of non-combat attrition like this, and Zhao Dangshi has always had zero tolerance.

Remembering that he was not in Zhao Ying at the moment, but in the newly attached Tsing Yi Army, Yang Zhaofeng couldn't help but shake his head, although he had some sympathy, but he didn't say anything after all.

The young soldier in Tsing Yi obviously didn't know why Yang Zhaofeng suddenly became depressed, and said that he couldn't help but feel a little worried, so he said half-flattering and half-tentatively: "Staff officer, if you are hungry, the villain will help you find some food." Although the Japanese food in the camp is still early, the leader has instructed you to act cheaply to Staff Officer Yang. "Like most armies, the Tsing Yi Army also pursues a two-meal-a-day system. On the one hand, this is due to the fear that frequent eating and drinking will cause too much satiety and cause drag in the sudden battle, and on the other hand, it is also for the sake of saving food. For the Tsing Yi Army, who is hungry and relies on Zhao Ying's funding to survive, it is obvious that the latter has a greater impact. Moreover, compared with other armies, the Tsing Yi Army's meal time is nearly an hour and a half behind than usual, which is also a strategy to reduce food consumption. Although this move can keep some more food, on the contrary, the army's long rest time has caused negative effects such as lack of energy of personnel and shortened marching time.

didn't rest well, and with some cold wind blowing, Yang Zhaofeng's desire to boost his spirits had little effect, and his head swelled and ached. Previously, he often saw that his second brother Yang Chengfu would knock his head when people were not paying attention, and showed a painful look, he didn't dare to ask at that time, but now he realized it, and he knew that at that time, the second brother was also suffering the same pain as himself. Dig deeper into the memory, it seems that in the vague memory, the father and grandfather will occasionally lean their heads against the wall and moan secretly, and the symptoms seem to be the same as the second brother and himself.

Yang Zhaofeng didn't know where this pain came from, but at present, headaches often don't last long, and the pain is acceptable, and he doesn't care too much about everything.

"No need, just come as usual, I'll go back to the tent and lie down again." Yang Zhaofeng waved his hand and politely rejected the young soldier's proposal. This time, the headache was worse than ever, and he thought maybe lying down would ease the discomfort.

The young soldier said "uh-huh" twice, and looked at Yang Zhaofeng's impatient face, and he didn't dare to say anything more. Yang Zhaofeng supported his forehead with one hand and returned to the tent. As soon as he took a step, he heard a person behind him shouting: "Staff officer, slow down!" "Listening to the voice is Cui Shuqiang.

Looking back, it was not only Cui Shuqiang who came, but also Mao Andong. The two of them, one tall and one short, one strong and one thin, moved side by side, a little blurry in the night, and both came with flying feet.

Cui and Mao don't live together, there must be something important when they come together, Yang Zhaofeng forgot about the headache, turned around and walked over: "Is it an enemy situation?" "The personal relationship between the three is not intimate, and the only factor that can bind the three of them together is business.

When they got together, Cui Shuqiang wiped his head and said, "Yes, there is movement in the north." ”

Yang Zhaofeng found that Cui Shuqiang's armor was tied to his body, and his heart tightened: "Could it be that Kong Quanbin is here?" ”

Cui Shuqiang nodded and said, "It should be, but things have changed...... Speaking of this, he looked at Mao Andong, "Brother Mao, let's talk about it." ”

Mao Andong immediately took over the conversation: "Half an hour ago, the brothers scattered outside reported that there was a large group of people in the north coming in the direction of the camp......

"It seems that Kong Quanbin didn't wait for his envoy to know the change and raise the army." Yang Zhaofeng said while listening.

"Almost, I didn't sleep all night, and it was he who came to prevent him, so when I heard the news, I immediately gathered my troops and horses to prepare for battle. Unexpectedly......" Mao Andong said this, his eyebrows arched like a river, "Unexpectedly, I waited outside to finish the formation, and there was a military report, saying that the enemy from the north suddenly turned back halfway." ”

"Turnback?"

"Yes, news from half an hour ago. When I received the news, I left people to continue to guard it, and I came to consult with the two of you without stopping. Mao Andong spoke very seriously.

"Do they know?"

"The enemy is coming, I have already sent someone to inform me, and I think it is time to rise up at this time."

Mao Andong was talking, the sound of horses' hooves behind him, a horse galloped over, and the knight arched his hand on the horse and said: "Zhongjun tent, the big leader wants the three to go as soon as possible!" As he spoke, he seemed to have something important on his body, and he grabbed the horse's belly and left the dust again.

Yang Zhaofeng exhaled and said: "The military is important, and the three of us can be determined outside the tent. ”

Cui and Mao both nodded yes, and Yang Zhaofeng returned to the tent and simply put on and hung up, and the three of them walked together. Halfway through the journey, he suddenly saw a cry behind the camp, and Mao Andong pulled a soldier and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The soldier was so frightened by Mao'andong's fierce and vicious appearance that he trembled: "Villain, the villain is under the three leaders, and the three leaders have just given an order, saying that they should be transferred quickly, and the villains and others dare not slack off, and they are packing their baggage!" ”

"Yang San wants to run?" Cui Shuqiang shouted, "I didn't see the eggs of the official army, he ran away?" ”

Mao Andong sighed and shook his head: "If you are used to running, you can't stop it." ”

Cui Shuqiang snorted and said: "Come if you want to come, leave if you want to go, does he Yang San think that Tsing Yi Jun is a child's house wine?" Saying hate, he gritted his teeth, "It's better to pick up the people and get rid of this guy first!" ”

Mao Andong shook his head and said, "No, no." The difference between my battalion and your battalion is that the three battalions are combined and move together, and the ordinary soldiers and logistics are in charge of their own affairs. Let's see the big boss and make up our minds for now. ”

Yang Zhaofeng also echoed: "What Brother Mao said is very true, things are divided into priorities, and now foreign enemies are the main ones, if you are distracted to take care of Yang San, I am afraid that I will be in chaos." ”

The two of them disagreed, and Cui Shuqiang had no choice, so he scolded himself to vent his anger, and dragged the two of them to the Chinese military tent.

Hu Jiusi, Liang Shizheng and some other Tsing Yi Army officers stood in the tent, and when they saw Yang Zhaofeng entering, they looked at the rain. Liang Shizheng came up enthusiastically and said: "Staff Officer Yang, I've been waiting for you for a long time, you have a lot of ideas, hurry up and get a way!" ”

Without waiting for Yang Zhaofeng to reply, Cui Shuqiang interjected: "Yang San's hammerless goods have already run away!" He was originally a master who was not afraid of heaven and earth, and he was angry, and he didn't care about the faces of Hu Jiusi and Liang Shizheng, and directly scolded Yang San.

"Well, I already know it...... Hu Jiusi's cheeks twitched, and Mu Ran said, "Everyone has his own life, if he wants to go, let him go." ”

"He has nearly a thousand soldiers on his hands!" Cui Shuqiang shook his fist angrily, "Just watching him take him away?" ”

"These are his dead friends, don't say you can't stay, if you stay, you won't die for us!" Mao Andong pressed the restless Cui Shuqiang and explained.

"The third child has a hot temper, and he is angry, so he doesn't recognize his father and mother, if he really wants to block him, I'm afraid that instead of leaving a thousand friendly troops, I am afraid that there will be a thousand more opponents......" Liang Shizheng sighed, but occasionally his eyes moved, revealing a little cunning.

Yang Zhaofeng asked, "What is the situation in the north now?" ”

Hu Jiusi received the latest news, and said truthfully: "The official army suddenly turned around halfway through, I'm afraid there was something wrong with the back." ”

"Tricks, tricks......" As soon as Hu Jiusi's words fell, Liang Shizheng shook his head, "Kong Quanbin is cunning and scheming, he must be pretending to be a gesture, so that we can get out of the camp and catch them all!" Speechless, he arched his hand at Hu Jiusi, "Big brother, we can't fall for his tricks!" ”

"What if it's not a ploy?" Yang Zhaofeng's eyebrows were as slanted as a sword, and he said loudly, "With Kong Quanbin's strength, it is not difficult to break through the camp, so why should he make another move and add to the snake?" ”

"What Staff Officer Yang means......" Hu Jiusi's face was solemn, and he looked at him with both hands.

"I think that Kong Quanbin used to attack the idea of attacking our battalion, and now he suddenly turned back, which is unreasonable, and the only explanation is that he was restrained from the back."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Shizheng waved his hand again and again: "How is it possible?" The north is either an official army or a mountainous area, where will someone come to make trouble for Kong Quanbin? ”

Yang Zhaofeng resolutely said: "Just because you and I can't think of it, I'm afraid that Kong Quanbin didn't think of turning elbows and armpits, so he panicked and didn't hesitate to recall the army that had already set off!" After speaking, regardless of Liang Shizheng's disbelief, he said to Hu Jiusi, "Hu Zongbing, the so-called good opportunity is at this time, seize the opportunity, the situation here may change greatly!" ”

Hu Jiusi knew what Yang Zhaofeng was asking for, and he was very moved by Yang Zhaofeng's words, but he was also afraid of the assumptions put forward by Liang Shizheng. It can be said that he is now going to make a move. If you go right, the whole game of chess is saved; If you go wrong, you will die and have no place to be buried.

"Big brother, there are a lot of strange things in this matter, and we don't have the help of the third child, so we really shouldn't take this risk!" Liang Shizheng was anxious and white-faced, and the dog barked like a dog, because he was emotional, and a lot of saliva squirted out.

"Call the general soldiers, the opportunity must not be lost, and the time will not come again! Don't hesitate! Yang Zhaofeng actually couldn't figure out the truth of the matter, especially the people who disturbed Kong Quanbin in the north, he didn't know why like Liang Shizheng. It's just that after a night of thinking, he found that the only chance to turn defeat into victory seemed to be in front of him.

For a long time, Yang Zhaofeng gave others the impression that he was shy and cautious. Under the confusion of this appearance, almost everyone thought that this was a cautious and cowardly "white-faced scholar", and even Yang Zhaofeng himself once thought that he was not a person suitable for killing and deciding. However, whenever there is a major decision, even a moment that is so important as a matter of life and death, Yang Zhaofeng is surprised by his arrogance and boldness. He couldn't understand why the vast majority of people shuddered and shivered at opportunities that seemed to him to be a perfect possibility. Now he actually doesn't know that he actually has a "tiger guts" that is different from ordinary people. The so-called "tiger courage" does not refer to the outburst of anger or despair, but refers to a person, in an ordinary heart, without any external factors stimulus, still dare to try something that ordinary people are far from trying to try.

Yang Zhaofeng is such a person. There are many brave people, but most of them have the courage to do nothing, so they may pay the price after one attempt and disappear forever. But Yang Zhaofeng is different, he has an innate insight into the situation and an acquired long-thinking character, so his "tiger courage" can push him to make choices that others cannot understand again and again.

As soon as Yang San left, the Tsing Yi Army Hu Jiusi and Liang Shizheng together only had more than 1,600 people left. And if Liang Shizheng does not cooperate, then there are only 600 people available for deployment.

Facing the two eager faces of Liang Shizheng and Yang Zhaofeng, Hu Jiusi's heart was greatly tormented. He actually hoped to help Yang Zhaofeng, after all, Yang Zhaofeng and others had helped him before. However, he was also afraid that a wrong move would really happen to him. How to choose?

"I think this matter has to be considered in the long run."

The atmosphere inside the tent seemed to be condensed, and time felt like it was passing very slowly. Hu Jiusi finally succumbed to the worries and fears in his heart and said his answer, while not forgetting to give Yang Zhaofeng an apologetic look.

Yang Zhaofeng was disappointed.
