Chapter 402: Deciding on a First Battle
Cao Meng left the cottage with a gust of wind drunk, and rushed back to the cottage station temporarily arranged by himself with his high-spirited brothers, who was very proud at that time, and now the alliance with a gust of wind is unbreakable, so he has obtained a strong reinforcement for his base in the periphery, and added an insurance for the safety and peace of his brothers.
If it goes on like this, his base under the leadership of King Chuang will not be able to prosper, but he did not expect that he is a small pole, at the beginning of only relying on his own strength, he did not want to manage this dark and dreary world injustice, he really did not measure his strength to use his mantis arm as a car, and slowly wore out his fighting spirit under the wall everywhere, I thought that living like this day is a day, and he died in a battle where he ate and drank, but he didn't want to get himself but he was peaceful and kind but had the talent of King Chuang, has achieved such an achievement under the leadership of King Chuang, thinking about the vigorous things that his brothers have done during this period of time, how can it not make people's blood boil? Even if you die now, you have no regrets about having such a vigorous life.
Shaking and riding on the horse, Cao Meng let his thoughts float freely, but he was not willing to die at the thought of death, because, under the banner of King Chuang, there are bigger and better ambitions that need him, waiting for him.
As he was walking, he rode a fast horse and came to the dust, saw Cao Meng's team from a distance, and shouted loudly, "Is it the people and horses of Chief Cao who are here?" ”
Cao Meng looked at it when he raised his spirit, but it was a sergeant in a dark blue uniform, and he hurriedly cheered up and replied loudly: "It's a certain family, but it's the sergeant brother who came?" ”
The sergeant of the superintendent, in the base area, in the Chuang army, it is the third level of the official, and even the commander of the king of Chuang is stunned, and now he is drunk when he is on duty, that is, a handle is given to Zhao Xing, who is hiding behind King Chuang all day, that Zhao Xing, is becoming more and more gloomy and terrible, and he is not called Captain Zhao Xing behind his back, but directly calls Zhao Yama, of course, it is not all derogatory words here, but also that he implements strict military laws, and he is not accommodating like Hades at all.
The man confirmed Cao Meng's identity, Pegasus ran closer, rolled the saddle and dismounted, hugged his fists and saluted, and said loudly with sweat on his face: "The second team of subordinate supervisors and sergeants is in the right team, and there is a rush from King Chuang to report to Chief Cao." ”
"Brother is hard, what do you have to say, say it quickly." As soon as the city gate heard that King Chuang had an order to hurry up, most of the wine went at once, and he hurriedly lifted his spirits.
"King Chuang urgently, according to reliable information, the officers and troops who encircled and suppressed us have been divided into two routes, one is led by Li Yuanhao to take a small road to attack the Black Tiger Village, and one is led by Zhang Yuan to take the Ganquan Road, which may meet the remaining soldiers of the Ganquan Guard to invade the Black Tiger Village, and the King of Chuang instructed, please ask General Manager Cao to lead his brothers, choose favorable terrain and resolutely block Zhang Yuan at all costs, at least delay their advance speed, wait for reinforcements from the brigade, and not allow them to enter the base area for half a step."
"Got it, please reply to King Chuang, if there is a fierce son alone, I will never let that Zhang Yuan step into the base for half a step." As soon as he heard that there was a combat mission, the wine at the city gate was completely awake, especially under the burning of alcohol, his blood was surging, and he straightened his waist with confidence.
"Yes, I'll reply to King Chuang." The sergeant of the prison was not verbose, he clenched his fists and turned to get on his horse, and his legs were clamped between the belly of the horse, and the war horse neighed and walked away.
Cao Meng stood up on the horse, turned around and said loudly to the brothers who followed him: "Brothers, these days are just eating and drinking, and our idle eggs hurt, and now the trade is coming." As soon as I was happy, I actually said all the pride and black words that I used to be a pole.
The brothers behind him let out a burst of cheers, and it was really as Cao Meng said, this cavalry and a team of spearmen marched in arms for many days all day, looking at the frequent good news from all over the country, but they were not an inch of merit, and they were already idle, and they were looking for a cottage pole for bad luck, but those poles were all good food and drink hospitality, but they didn't give their people the opportunity to practice their hands. I also thought that this anti-encirclement and suppression of my brothers could only do this, but I didn't want this deal to fall from the sky, how could this not make people happy?
In the midst of cheers, the captain of the sixth team, who was quite calm, approached Cao Meng and whispered: "Manager Cao, that Zhang Yuan is coming violently, and there is a group of revenge-hungry Zhang Zhao Chen family and other children, they have three thousand Xiangyong under their hands, and about seven or eight hundred soldiers in Ganquan, so there are four thousand soldiers, we only have six hundred brothers, and the difference in strength is huge, not to mention that the small cottage we occupy now is not dangerous, and the wall is not high, and at the same time, we are all spearmen, and there are no bows and arrows, and there are no offensive and defensive equipment, this battle is afraid that it will be difficult to fight." ”
Cao Meng glanced at the captain when he heard Zou Mei, and said unhappily: "What, are you afraid?" If you're afraid, -----" When the captain heard that Cao Meng had misunderstood him, he hurriedly interrupted Cao Meng's words, and quickly explained: "Brother misunderstood, I am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, I just said our difficulties." ”
At that time, Cao Meng interrupted him loudly, "What's wrong with the difficulty?" If there is a difficulty, do you let Zhang Yuanna fight under our Black Tiger Village? If there is a difficulty, let Zhang Yuan's gang and their gang of dogs who are not even as good as robbers scourge the base we have just established? Let the people who have just settled down in the base area recruit troops again? ”
"No, brother, please listen to what I have to say." The captain was also anxious, blushing and interrupting Cao Meng's reprimand again.
"Say anything quickly." Cao Meng said impatiently.
"I mean, this battle is difficult, but it's not that I won't complete the military order task of King Chuang, I am also an old man in our cottage, a person who came from the water and fire, and a veteran of the Battle of Yanchuan, I will be afraid of death? It's a big deal to get these 180 catties here. "The battle of Yanchuan has become the glory of some survivors, and at the same time, the battle of Yanchuan has indeed reborn the original pole and tempered into a real warrior.
"I'm just afraid that even this will not be able to complete the task of breaking the king, wouldn't it be a bad thing? These days, we have also invited a lot of poles to do alliances, they have also received a lot of grain and grass benefits from us, since we have received our benefits to do something for us, now we are using friends to help, I think since this is the case, let's send some people, go to a cottage to ask for help, so that as long as there are a few small cottages to increase our strength, not to mention that the gust of wind is a robber family, his subordinates must also have a lot of people who dare to fight, eat so many benefits of our cottage, We should also do something for our ally, even if we don't send soldiers, we can send some masters, they may not be able to kill the enemy, but at a critical time, we can repair the wall, carry some materials and baggage, and also relieve our pressure, saving our brothers a lot of effort, so that we can be more sure to complete the task taught by King Chuang, and my subordinates want to ask Chief Manager Cao to see it. The captain finished speaking in one breath, retreated behind Cao Meng and waited for Cao Meng to decide.
Cao Meng frowned and didn't speak, carefully weighed the captain's suggestion in his heart, and after carefully weighing it in his heart, he shook his head firmly and said, "No, we must fight this battle independently." ”
"Why?" The captain asked, rarely surprised. Originally, most of the protection fees that Black Tiger Village had worked so hard to collect were cheaper than those gang of poles, but they just wanted to eat and not do anything, where is there such a thing in the world? When I heard the news, I was already indignant in my heart.
"Brother, your opinion is actually very good and very practical, but I don't care about my brother's life, I want to be able to resist the enemy with this mere 600 brothers, but have you thought about it, we just fought against Ganquan Wei, and then we started to build a base here, implement rent reduction, interest reduction and protection fees, in fact, those landlords are strong and strong, and that is not greedy? For the people, who are not knocking on the bones and sucking the marrow, they can't wait to swallow the last bone of the people, why are they so willing to force us to reduce rent and interest and pay protection fees? It's not that we look at the weakness of the official army, we are in awe of the strong army, we dare not be the enemy of us, and we can't say that everyone behind us is eager to eat our flesh and drink our blood and then hurry, so I have to cling to us with a weak and reluctant snake, which can be sincere? But once the officers and soldiers of the brigade come to attack, they will definitely swarm up and kill us, hoping to help the officers and soldiers destroy us and vent their anger for them, even if there is a wall grass, they will secretly support the officers and soldiers. This is the performance of the landlord's strong strength, and then now these people who have just won our benefits and blessings, they are used to being oppressed, and have developed the habit of being obedient in their bones, this time we came strongly, seeing the official army retreating, the landlord is strong and dependent, so we dare to cheer and support us, but once the official army comes to attack, it must be scared to death one by one, if you don't believe it, you can see, once we are defeated this time, I dare not say that all the people are wailing and going to those original owners to ask for help, Willingly restore the original land rent and high interest, and there will never be a single one to cooperate with us when we come back in the future. Third, those who ate us and took our poles, to tell the truth, that is, bullying and bullying the small landlords and ordinary people and doing some cutting paths, they are also afraid of the officers and soldiers of the brigade to death, and this time they will also have the intention of standing by and watching, even if the old slippery head of that gust of wind is the same, even if you go, you will definitely have an excuse full of grievances, and will not send a soldier to help us, all these people will wait and see, all these people will wait for the result of this battle, if we go around asking for help, our hearts are empty, Then the first one to pounce on must be those landlords and their armed forces, the second is to deviate from us, and it is those local poles that are not subject to our management, and then it is the hearts of those people that are difficult to retract. Therefore, at a time when several forces are now waiting to see the results of us and the official army, this battle is related to whether our cottage can stand firm in the land of Ganquan in the future, and whether it can develop and grow. ”
