Chapter 31: Beaten at the Beginning of the Mountain

He Yi's cottage is the strongest among the many Yellow Turban troops around, with more than 8,000 troops alone, and the combat quality of the army is also the strongest among the surrounding teams, this time he poured out of the nest, even Liu Pi or Huang Shao in their heyday did not dare to be the enemy alone, so in He Yi's opinion, this time attacking Pei Qing's cottage with empty troops will definitely be extremely easy.

And in fact, it is true, He Yi's army has a total of more than 8,000 people, Pei Qing's strength is only more than 6,000 people, even if you count the Huang Shaobu who surrendered before, not to mention that Pei Qing took away more than 1,000 people, and now there are less than 5,000 people left, and they have to divide troops to take care of the prisoners and protect their families, and only about 4,000 people are really used to fight, this is a one-to-two ratio of troops, and although the cottage can be defended by danger, how strong can the defense of the cottage created by a group of bandits be? If the opponent really attacks with all his might, it is estimated that he will not be able to hold it for a day.

So after getting the news that He Yi's army was about to go up the mountain, even Zhou Cang, who had always been warlike, was worried, he was not afraid, but if one accidentally caused the cottage to be lost, then he would die a hundred times and would not be able to atone for his sins.

Although Yin Kaishan's intelligence is slightly higher, he is not sure of victory, he also understands the situation, and he can see that the other party is overwhelming, and he is not sure if he wants to successfully repel it, so he can only be anxious now.

However, at this moment, I saw Xie Lingyun come to the front and said lightly: "Are the two leaders worried about the invading enemy army?" ”

"It turned out to be Mr.", Zhou Cang has always been very respectful of scholars, so when Xie Lingyun was just a rough writer, he respected Xie Lingyun very much, and now he knows that this person has received the benefits of Pei Qing, and his ability is probably great, and he dare not underestimate it in his heart, so he hurriedly asked: "I don't know if Mr. has a clever plan to retreat from the enemy?" ”

Xie Lingyun hurriedly returned the salute and said: "It's not a clever plan, but it's okay to think about it to delay the time, how can a reckless man like He Yi see through our plan?" ”

"If that's the case, Mr. is the first hero of our cottage, and when the time comes, I will definitely show you the merit to the big boss, and Mr. will be rewarded for his meritorious service at that time, but don't forget Zhou."

Zhou Cang did not have the slightest suspicion of Xie Lingyun, and smiled slightly and bowed his hand.

However, Xie Lingyun said with a smile: "Forget about the second master, you are just hard work, and the one who can really make meritorious contributions is none other than the four masters." ”

"Bitter, hard work? What does this mean, sir? Zhou Cang looked confused and asked Xie Lingyun.

At the same time, Yin Kaishan was also puzzled, I don't know why Xie Lingyun mentioned his name?

"Haha, the two of you are in charge, come here with your ears." Xie Lingyun smiled mysteriously, and after Yin Kaishan and Zhou Cang came over together, he whispered something in their ears.

"Haha, sir, it's really yours, this is really a clever plan, I believe that He Yi's idiot will not be able to see through it." Zhou Cang was full of smiles after listening to the plan, and his tone of voice was even a little flattering.

However, he didn't expect Yin Kaishan to say coldly: "I think you're too happy for the second master, right?" He Yida is also a party commander anyway, he has gone through so much, I am afraid that this kind of strategy will not be able to hide from him, Mr. Xie is just a bookkeeper, and his idea is really a little clumsy, if he does what he says, he will definitely be sent to death, so, please forgive me for not being able to cooperate. ”

Zhou Cang, who was still a little surprised, was shocked when he heard this, and then said angrily: "Lao Yin, you, what did you say? ”

"Isn't that clear enough that I'm talking about? The idea of a bookkeeper can make you so ecstatic, are you still the pillar of our cottage? It's just to live up to the trust of the big boss, let you guard the cottage, the result can be imagined, I seem to see the tragic end of our cottage, but speaking of which, the big boss actually let you stay in the cottage, which is really incomprehensible, once something goes wrong with the cottage in the future, his responsibility for the unknown employment will be difficult to shirk. ”

"Ah...... Lao Yin, are you looking for death? Dare to say that about me, just say that I am enough, and even be sarcastic about the big boss, you, do you want to rebel? Zhou Cang was almost mad when he heard Yin Kaishan's words, he immediately snatched a steel knife from the hands of the soldier beside him, and said loudly: "Do you believe that I cut you down with a knife?" ”

However, Yin Kaishan said lightly: "The army has its own law, and I can only tell the truth at most, so you will cut me down just because of this?" Do you believe that after being cut, it will lead to a drop in morale? ”

"Hehe, you think you can save your life with these words, I'm going to kill you and see if your morale will drop?" After Zhou Cang finished speaking, he swung his knife and prepared to slash towards Yin Kaishan.

At this time, I saw Xie Lingyun say loudly: "Slowly, the big boss, the enemy is at present, it is the time to employ people, and killing the general is indeed not conducive to the morale of the army, I think it is better to punish him a little and let him make meritorious contributions." ”

"That's fine", just listen to Mr., Zhou Cang glanced at Xie Lingyun, and then said: "Since this is the case, then the forty military sticks will be heavily punished to set an example, and if there is a recurrence, it will be killed." ”

Then he ordered left and right to push Yin Kaishan down and beat forty military sticks.

After a while, Yin Kaishan was brought back, and Zhou Cang personally inspected it, only to see that the other party was scarred, blood-stained clothes, and was being supported by others, and he couldn't even stand still.

"Hmph, this is just a small punishment, if you make meritorious contributions, I can say good things in front of the big boss and spare you this time, otherwise, don't blame me for not remembering the old feelings and slashing you with a knife. Now you lead your men to dig pits and defend themselves, so you don't have to defend against the enemy. ”

Zhou Cang was afraid that Yin Kaishan would take the opportunity to collude with foreign enemies, so he did not let him directly participate in the battle, but only built fortifications and did some logistics work.

Yin Kaishan limped away, came to the residence, let out a long sigh, and then said: "I am loyal to the cottage, just to tell a few words of truth, Zhou Cang actually treated me like this, it is really chilling." ”。

At this time, a personal soldier Zhang Yu stepped forward and said: "Since Zhou Cang is so unkind to the four masters, the four masters don't have to be polite to him, now He Yi's big boss is about to go up the mountain, I think, we might as well go to him, He Da's original strength has an absolute advantage, plus we do internal response, we will definitely be able to quickly break through the cottage, at that time, Zhou Cang will become your subordinate prisoner, is not at your disposal?" ”

Yin Kaishan was quite moved after hearing this, but then shook his head and said: "It's still not good, I haven't had any contact with Master He, if I go to defect so rashly, how can he believe me?" ”

But saw Zhang Yu said: "Don't worry about this, the villain used to be the personal soldier of Huang Da's family, the villain expected that this time He Da's family came to attack the cottage, Huang Da's family will definitely accompany him, as long as I find Huang Da's family, explain your mind to him, I believe that with Huang Da's strength, He Da's family will definitely believe in your sincerity." ”

"That's great, in that case, I'll find someone to help me write the book immediately, and you can wait a minute, and send it out for me when I'm done." Yin Kaishan turned around and went to get a pen, tore off a piece of his clothes, and then prepared to find someone to write a letter of surrender.

Zhang Yu saw this scene and immediately said: "The four masters, if you can trust the villain, I will help you find someone who can write to help you write a book, he is also our person, absolutely reliable." ”

"Okay, I originally wanted to kill him and keep it a secret after finding someone to write the surrender letter, but after all, there is a risk in this way, I am afraid of exposure, it is great that you can find a reliable person, I will wait for your good news here, go back quickly."

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon." After Zhang Yu finished speaking, he immediately ran out of Yin Kaishan's room to find the person who wrote the book, but he didn't know that behind his back, a faint sneer flashed on Yin Kaishan's face.
