It is far more difficult to control a man than to control an ox or a horse, because a man is much more shrewd than a cow or a horse!

To be the henchman of the second master, the monkey is naturally much more shrewd than the average pole!

The monkey's real name is Hou Jiukong, because he has a sharp beak and a monkey gills, and he is exquisite, so people give him the nickname Monkey.

The monkey was originally a second-rate (ruffian) in Luanchuan, and he wandered around the countryside all day long, but he was also very open. However, he has a problem of indiscriminate gambling, the so-called "ten gambles and nine cheats", let him be shrewd like a monkey, and he never got up again if he fell into this pit. Later, the monkey owed a loan shark, so he had to run away, all the way, and finally fell to the grass on Eagle Claw Mountain.

Don't look at him as a second-rate person, but he has a sweet mouth and will come to things, and he has been a small leader next to the second master in less than two years after going up the mountain, as if he has become a henchman of the second master.

Therefore, the second boss asked him to keep an eye on the movements of the official army. This is a big deal, if the second master doesn't trust him, how can he entrust him?

It's just that the monkey dials the little ninety in his heart, and he is not happy to receive this errand!

"That officer and soldier are easy to keep an eye on?" The thorn word camp is so powerful, isn't it also a photo that has been mutilated? Lao Tzu is just a powerless little person, but there is no need to lose his life for the Flying Eagle Castle! ”

Thinking of this, the monkey took the pole under his hand and found a cave cat and went to the cat.

The next day, when the morning sun was rising, there was another "boom" from the direction where the officers and troops were encamped...... Boom ......".

The monkey heard the movement and hurriedly retreated with his pole in the direction of Wangdongling. It didn't look like they were staring at the officers and soldiers, but like the officers and soldiers were chasing them.

Fortunately, the advance speed of the officers and troops was very slow, so the monkey and his party retreated calmly.

Before noon, the officers and troops suddenly stopped.

The officers and soldiers are camped again?

The monkey was full of doubts, and did not dare to come forward to investigate, so he had to find a hidden place to continue the cat.

Until dusk, the officers and soldiers did not move again. Only then did the monkey relax, let the pole under his hand continue to stare at it, and hurriedly returned to Dongling to report to the second master.

Looking at the East Ridge, the four leaders of the second and fourth masters, the fifth masters, and the sixth masters were looking at the east, guessing the movements of the officials and troops.

The monkey hurriedly walked in front of the second master, with a smile on his face, "Back to the second master, in the morning, the official army went west over three mountains, and only advanced less than five miles before stopping, they ...... I'm afraid I'm a little timid! ”

"Oh?" The corners of the second master's mouth curled, "Monkey, well done!" Keep going back and keep watching! ”

"Yes!" The monkey hurriedly agreed, with a look of unrelenting death, "Second master, please rest assured, the movements of the officials and troops will never escape the eyes of the villain!" ”

"Good!" The second master praised it, "Work hard for a while, and when you repel the officers and soldiers, Lao Tzu will be rewarded!" ”

"Yes!" The monkey hurriedly agreed, his face full of joy, "Thank you for the second master!" ”

But as soon as he turned around, he secretly cursed in his heart: Heavy reward? The reward of the egg! Isn't it just a few oceans? If you have the ability, you can reward Lao Tzu as a flower-like girl! You dogs eat and drink spicy food every day, and sleep comfortably with your mothers in your arms, but the old men are doing head-killing business, gnawing on dry food, and cats are freezing in the woods......

The monkey went back, and continued to take his pole to find a hidden place for the cat, and he was at ease!

The next day, when the sun was rising, the officers and troops continued to advance westward, and the monkey continued to retreat with his poles, but this time, the officers and troops only climbed a hill and stopped, and there was no movement.

At dusk, the monkey rushed back to Wangdongling and reported to the second master as usual, "The officers and soldiers only climbed over one mountain, and thirteen mines sounded in the middle......

"Well, that's good," the second master nodded slowly, "Go back and keep staring!" ”

"Yes!" The monkey went away respectfully and continued to exert his wisdom of "not working hard"!

In the temporary headquarters, the bonfire was blazing, and the four leaders looked at the dancing flames silently, with different expressions.

Suddenly, the second master withdrew his hand that was gathered by the flame, rubbed it gently, and glanced at everyone, "What do you think?" ”

The chubby fifth master smiled, "In the past three days, there have been no less than a hundred landmines, right?" We've all seen the power of that thing...... The official camp is already full of mourning, right? ”

"yes!" The sixth master nodded lightly and slowly added, "One hundred and ten mines are the second most lethal, and the blow to morale is even more serious!" Imagine you're walking cautiously through the jungle, and suddenly, your feet are empty, and then with a bang, your legs fly ......"

As he spoke, the sixth master looked around at the other three leaders, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "Isn't that scene terrifying?" After walking like this for a few days, no matter how strong the officers and troops are, their morale is about to collapse, right? ”

"Hmm!" The second master nodded, "The sixth brother is reasonable...... It's time to get your hands dirty! ”

"Second brother," the five masters perked up and were ready to move, "let me take a team of brothers to meet them first!" ”

"Old Five, don't worry!" The second master smiled and shook his head, "When they break through the last minefield, you'll have to be busy!" ”

The fifth master smiled, "I'm afraid they won't be able to break in!" ”

The fourth master also hurriedly dissuaded, "The fifth brother, the second brother is right, wait a minute, if the officers and soldiers are really ready to retreat, it will not be too late to chase after them...... That minefield is for the officers and soldiers, won't you help them a lot by killing them like this? ”

Landmines don't distinguish between friend and foe, if you dare to step on it, it will dare to explode!

This mountain is full of mines, and a small group of monkeys can slowly touch it by relying on the mark, if the team fights, which one can take care of recognizing the mark?

The sixth master suddenly sighed faintly, "If only the 'thorn' word camp was still there!" ”

The second master was stunned and glanced at him, "Sixth, who can't trust Lao Tzu?" ”

The superior has this problem, as long as he identifies his henchmen, he will be partial, which is the reason why the traitors of all dynasties and dynasties are in charge, because the traitors are the henchmen of the emperors, so they are not necessarily "traitorous" in the eyes of the emperors!

The sixth master shook his head and looked calm, "The second brother's people can naturally be trusted, but it's just ...... If you want to talk about espionage intelligence, the 'thorn' battalion is more adept. ”

"How?" The second boss smiled, "One was crippled by someone, and two of the three captains died...... I'm afraid I can't talk about it, right? ”

"Hehe," the four masters hurriedly played a round, "The battalion with the word 'thorn' has always been great, so that with this defeat, this group of officers and soldiers is not ordinary, and it is safer for a cautious brother like a monkey to go!" ”

The monkey didn't expect that he would get a "cautious and safe" evaluation in the mouth of the four masters! To be cautious, monkeys naturally deserve it; To say that it is safe, but it is a big mistake!

The 66th Regiment was still divided into three divisions, the reserve battalion and the directly subordinate company had become the rear army, and Zhao Dezhu and Wang Liugen's headquarters and Liao Heiniu's headquarters advanced in the direction of Wangdongling.

It's a big change, but the monkey doesn't notice it! He just listened to the movement behind him from a distance, judging the behavior of the officers and soldiers, and he didn't know anything about the specific situation of the officers and soldiers!

This is the "cautious and safe" monkey in the mouth of the four masters!

The night was hazy, and the camps of Liao Heiniu's department were piled up with bonfires, and the soldiers were talking and laughing, which was not at all the scene of "mourning all over the wilderness" imagined by the five masters.

Li Siwei and a group of officers sat around the campfire in the corner, holding a cigarette stick made of leaves in their mouths, inhaling two deep puffs, and then taking it down boringly, "Turtle's, you can't get any strength at all!" ”

Liao Heiniu held a wooden stick and fiddled with the fire boringly, and when he heard the words, he glanced at him, "It's not tobacco leaves, it's strange to be energetic!" Your turtle is also addicted, and you can smoke leaves...... Where do you say they have gone to pornography? ”

Li Siwei put on a "cigarette" again, vaguely, "Where does Lao Tzu know!" How easy it is to find two paths in this mountain? Can't wait! ”

Liao Heiniu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The brothers are working hard, and it's not a way to wait like this!" ”

The generals nodded hurriedly and echoed with a smile, "Yes! It's a rough job, but it's done vigorously...... The brothers are clamoring to go straight to Eagle Claw Mountain! ”

"Turtle's," Li Siwei's eyes widened, "You think you're playing with a family?" Also advance to Eagle Claw Mountain! As long as Lao Tzu wades through the minefield, there will be a series of fierce battles...... Can't wait! ”

Everyone was stunned and silent.

Ma Yue asked in a low voice, "Then ...... tomorrow?"

"Don't worry about tomorrow yet!" Li Siwei waved his hand with a solemn expression, "The sentry at night must not be loosened!" The further you advance, the more likely it is that the pole will come to steal the camp...... When the time comes, you will be the bait, and the bait must not be swallowed! ”

"Yes!" The generals promised, "Please rest assured, the head of the regiment!" ”

"Okay," Li Siwei slowly stood up, "I'll set up camp tomorrow over the mountain in front of me...... Lao Tzu went to see Zhao Dezhu and Wang Liugen! ”

After that, Li Siwei took Miao Zhenhua and left!

"Battalion commander," Ma Yue was a little excited, "Regiment Commander, this is going fishing!" Do you think the pole can come? ”

Liao Heiniu shook his head, "It's hard to say...... Anyway, the bait has already been laid, and it depends on their guts whether they dare to eat it or not! ”

Saying that, Liao Heiniu's expression was solemn, "However, the scenes that should be done, Lao Tzu still have to do enough!" ”

"Understood," the generals smiled, "are you making a show...... It's not hard! ”

So, the next day, the 66th Regiment climbed another mountain.

In the evening, the monkey brought back the news, "The officers and soldiers have climbed another mountain today and arrived at Dongxigou, but it took a lot longer than yesterday......"

The second master waved his hand and stared at him tightly, with a solemn expression, "Do you see the situation in their team clearly?" ”

Hearing this, the other three leaders also looked at him with blazing eyes.

The monkey's heart tightened, and he quickly shook his head, "We don't dare to get too close......"

The look of disappointment on the face of the second master flashed away, but it was still seen by the monkey.

"But," the monkey's mind turned, "and he faintly heard the howls of the officers and soldiers......

"Oh," the second master perked up, "did you really hear that?" ”

"Well," the monkey nodded hurriedly, his face calm, "although it is far away, the echo in the mountains is very strong...... As soon as the explosion sounded, the howl drifted over...... I didn't really hear it, but I heard it! ”

The so-called "empty mountains do not see people, but hear people's voices", just like the explosion of the landmine, although it is more than ten or twenty miles apart, the leaders can also be faintly heard on the Wangdong Ridge!

The second master had no doubts about the monkey's words, and was overjoyed after listening to it, "Okay, well done!" Keep an eye on Lao Tzu, once they arrive at Tongshugou, they will report immediately! ”

Tongshu Ridge is the first mountain ridge to the east of Wangdong Ridge, and it is also the last minefield, and Tongshu Ridge is under the eastern slope of Tongshu Ridge.

After crossing Tongshu Ridge, the officers and troops came out of the minefield, and it was a good time to attack the officers and troops head-on!

"Yes!" The monkey has a straight face and takes the order!

Whether he actually heard the howl or not, only he could tell!

The figure of the monkey disappeared at the door, and the second master had a happy face, "It seems that there is no need to wait too long!" ”

The fifth master nodded hurriedly, his face full of excitement, "Second brother, why don't I bring someone over now?" ”

"Don't worry," the second master smiled, "According to the speed of the official army's advancement, I'm afraid it will take two or three days to reach Tongshugou, and now pulling the brothers over will only lose their combat strength in vain, so it's not necessary!" ”

"Yes!" The fourth master nodded in agreement, "According to this situation, the advance speed of the official army will become slower and slower, and in three or five days, they will not be able to break through Tongshuling!" ”

Sure enough, from the next day, the 66th Regiment advanced even more slowly, and it was not until three days later that it could advance to Tongshugou.

This time, the monkey didn't dare to make the "work can't work" too obvious, and kept sticking to Tongshuling with his poles.

It wasn't until the official army of Niubeiling came up on Niubeiling that the monkey hurriedly retreated to the western slope with his poles, "The official army has passed Niubeiling, Lao Tzu will go back first to report the news......"

Looking at the East Ridge, the second boss was in good spirits when he got the news, "How many officers and soldiers are there?" ”

The monkey hurriedly lowered his head, "The smoke and dust are too big, and I can't really see it!" However, my brothers are still staring there, I'll go back and see! ”

The monkey hurried away, and when he reached Tongshu Ridge, there was no movement on Niubei Ridge.

The monkey's pole was hiding on the western slope of Tongshu Ridge, and when he saw that the monkey was back, he hurriedly surrounded him, "Boss, what's the matter?" ”

The monkey was expressionless, "Lao Han, you can touch the ridge again and take a look...... Look at how many officers and soldiers there are? ”

Lao Han's face turned pale, "Listen...... There are a lot of people who understand Jing! ”

"Listen?" The monkey's face sank, "I can hear an egg!" Just go! ”

"Good...... Okay! Lao Han trembled, quickly turned around, but muttered, "Haven't you listened to it for a few days!" ”

"Holy shit!" The monkey scolded in a low voice, chased after him, and trotted away in fright.

After a while, Lao Han came back, his face full of light, "Not much, not much...... Look at that formation, it's only three or five hundred people......"

"Three or five hundred?" The monkey's heart was settled, a smile appeared on his face, and he walked up the ridge, "Lao Tzu, go and take a look, you don't look at the dog's day, and you missed the big things of the leaders!" ”

The monkey touched the ridge and cautiously looked into the ditch, and suddenly his heart was happy...... There were really only three or five hundred officers and soldiers! It seems that Lao Tzu "listened" a few days ago!

The monkey looked back at Dongling with joy, and hurriedly reported to the second master, "I looked carefully on Tongshu Ridge, the camp of the official army was not large, at best there were only three or five hundred people, but it was arranged in a very orderly manner...... I should be afraid that we will rob the camp! ”

"That's right!" The second master was in high spirits, looking around at the other three leaders, and was full of spirit, "The fifth leader led three hundred men and horses to the south and waited on the north slope of Laoguan Peak; Lao Liu led 300 men and horses to the north and waited for help on the southern slope of Cuibai Ling; The fourth child is stationed with me to watch Dongling, ready to attack at any time! Just wait for the official army to break through Tongshu Ridge...... So that they will not come and go! ”

In this way, the second master set a plan to encircle and annihilate, and only waited for the 66th Regiment to break through Tongshuling and come to kill them all!

It's just that how did he know that the monkey who was relied on as his confidant was just a cheating master!

It is true that the officers and troops of Tongshugou only have Liao Heiniu's department, but how can Zhao Dezhu and Wang Liugen's department stand by coldly!

On the south side of Tongshu Ridge is the northeast-southwest direction of Laoguanfeng, just when the five masters led the team to hide on the north slope of Laoguanfeng, Huang Hua and Wang Liugen were leading the soldiers to trek on the south slope and advance to the north.

The north of Tongshu Ridge is northwest - southeast to Cuibai Peak, when the six masters with the team in the south slope of Cuibai Peak are waiting for the battle, Sun Dali and Zhao Dezhu are quietly marching on the north slope with all the soldiers, and the soldiers are straight to the slope!

When the second and fourth masters were still waiting for the officials and soldiers to enter the urn on Wangdongling, they had no idea that a tragedy was about to happen!

And the person responsible for this tragedy is nothing but a small boss - a monkey!

In this regard, the monkey was also ignorant, he was just a little clever, where would he have thought that such a serious consequence would be triggered?

This is not surprising, throughout history, many big events have been triggered by small people!

Intentionally or unintentionally!
