Chapter 1 Autumnal Equinox

"The old thing is probably going to vomit blood this time!" Yang Daring and the others, who were standing behind Cheng Mingzhen, couldn't see the melancholy in the eyes of the main general, and gloated about themselves.

"If it weren't for the Nine Masters digging a pit outside the camp, we would have almost fallen for the old thing!" Another soldier named Jia Fu echoed with a smile. Due to their recent performances, each of them has a mixed suit of armor. Although the hole on it hadn't had time to be repaired, and the size didn't fit well, everyone couldn't wait to wear it out, and they were full of addiction.

Everyone was elated, from ordinary minions to hall masters and village owners, everyone had a smile on their faces. Despite the continuous battles with officers and soldiers, Zhang's army had already lost more than 13,000 people. But after all, the victory is theirs for now. The soldiers of the Great Sui Mansion that no one dared to provoke were defeated by them. This is the entire Hebei Green Forest Road, no, it should be an incomparable miracle on the entire Dasui Green Forest Road. Prior to this, Sensei said that he had a hard fight with the soldiers of the Great Sui Mansion face to face, even if he encountered the county soldiers with a scale of more than 5,000 people, the heroes of the green forest could only hide and go.

Hearing the noise coming from behind, Cheng Mingzhen just smiled and didn't make any response. He didn't want to ruin the happiness of his brothers, nor did he want others to show that he still had an inexplicable attachment to the low-hanging scarlet banner on the city. This incense will not bring him any good, and after so many things, he has learned how to carefully hide his true self. He is now the head of Julu Zejiu, and the head of the Julu Ze Ruishi Battalion. The identity is as black as ink, and the water of the Yellow River cannot be washed away, and it is impossible to stand under the same banner as the fathers.

What his fathers had devoted half their lives to defending, was now what he was trying to destroy. Because his father's Great Sui has completely cut off his way of life. For the sake of the safety of his mother, his wife and himself, he could only walk along an unknown path with his eyes closed until he could see the dawn again in the darkness.

"Master Zhang is still waiting for you to drink the celebration wine!" Seeing that Cheng Mingzhen looked at the city wall in the distance for a long time, Yang Dayan, the leader of the pro-soldier group, stepped forward again and reminded in a low voice. "I've seen the fifth master and the eighth master go in for a while, and the ninth master won't hurry up and go over......."

"When I'm done patrolling the defense!" Cheng Mingzhen's train of thought was interrupted, shook his head slightly, and responded in a low voice. Youwuhou, who suffered nearly seventy percent casualties, would definitely not be able to fight again, even if their history was no longer possible. But he was accustomed to being cautious and did not want to make any more extraneous complications. This excuse is very high-sounding, whether it is Zhang Jincheng or others, they must not be able to find fault. As for Cheng Mingzhen's true thoughts and feelings at the moment, they couldn't guess it, and they didn't bother to care. As long as they believe that everything the Nine Masters do is for everyone, and the Nine Masters will always have unexpected gains in their arrangements, that is enough.

By the time we walked around the camp, it was already getting dark. During this period, Zhang Jin said that he sent three waves of personal soldiers to urge, and he spoke politely one wave after another. Everyone knows that if it weren't for the fact that the Nine Masters suddenly wanted to dig more than a dozen big pits in the snow a few days ago, victory would not have come so easily. Others are busy eating and drinking, while the Nine Masters insist on inspecting the defense, which in itself is admirable.

Glancing back at the dark Fuyang City again, Cheng Mingzhen turned to the Chinese army with a smile. The tattered banner at the head of the city was obscured by the night, and he no longer had to feel guilty for its fall. As soon as I entered the tent door, a hot breath immediately hit my face, and the thick aroma of wine mixed with cordial greetings made my chest warm from the cold wind. "Look at your face is frozen, it's almost Zhou Cang in the temple!" Du Scarqi felt sorry for his son-in-law, and took the lead in holding a cup of hot rice wine and sent it over, "Drink a big sip to warm up your body first, if you don't come back, we haven't let go of the amount yet!" ”

"Don't drink on an empty stomach, eat a bowl of meat soup first." Zhang Jin said that he stretched out his hand to push Du Scar away, as if Cheng Mingzhen was his son-in-law, "Come on a few people, burn the brazier a little bit." Don't be busy removing the armor of the nine masters, saying that you, wait for the body to warm up and then take it off, you want to kill him, unloading the armor, do you understand? ”

The other village owners and hall masters also got up one after another, and the stars gave Cheng Mingzhen to the second seat next to Zhang Jincheng like the moon. "The nine masters sit here, and the big masters specially leave you a seat. Bake the fire first, and I'll have to wait to ask the nine masters for advice! ”

"What are you asking for, just your two times, how can you understand the magic plan of the nine masters!" Someone took over the conversation, hitting his colleagues like a joke, and at the same time slapping Cheng Mingzhen's ass.

The drunkard who had been beaten immediately quit, holding a clay bowl and retorting, "Ask for advice on how to drink, can't you?" If you have the ability, you can also come to pay tribute to the nine masters! ”

"Respect, respect, who is afraid of drinking!" The crowd responded noisily.

With such a warm atmosphere, even if you hold a piece of ice in your arms, you will have already been roasted. Cheng Mingzhen arched his hand and said with a laugh, "As long as the big boss allows us to let go of the drink, I will sacrifice my life to accompany everyone." But I can't sit in this seat, I've only been in the gang for a few days, and I'm going to live here for a long time! ”

"Let you sit, you sit. Don't be humble, it's a fake if you are humble! Zhang Jincheng pressed his shoulder hard and ordered loudly. Sit, you are the first hero of our Juluze, Lao Zhang, I have been fighting for several years, and I have never been so happy. , it's just how to fight, how to have. It's like saying yes, the officers and soldiers are cooperating with us every step of the way. According to this style of play, it is said that there are 10,000 government soldiers, that is, the government soldiers of the entire Great Sui have been killed, and we will still beat them to cry and cry for their mother! ”

The heroes were amused by his words, although they knew that this was a bit exaggerated, but their hearts were full of heroism. Yes, how about Yang Baiyan, when he saw the nine masters, he immediately strained. How about Feng Xiaoci, can beat Dou Jiande and flee from the wind, and when he encounters our giant deer Ze hero, he still loses his armor. In the past, the officers and men were well-equipped, and everyone looked greedy. And now, more than 6,000 pieces of armor and more than 2,000 horn bows have all returned to the warehouse. Looking at the whole of Hebei, there has never been a green forest hero who has lived so spaciously.

forcibly sat down on Cheng Mingzhen, Zhang Jincheng continued to hold the wine cup and blow nonsense, "Next, let's wait for Lao Feng to obediently send his head." Then put his head on the tall boss's table and see what Lao Gao's face would be! ”

"What kind of face can you have, obediently hand over the letter of the chief scoop!" Du Scar also held the wine cup, and his face was full of pride. The son-in-law is his, and Cheng Mingzhen won the battle, which means that he won the battle. As the saying goes, a son-in-law is half a son, and our Lao Du regrets half his life because he has no children under his knees, but then again, the ten sons of other people's families together are not as capable as the half of the sons of Lao Du's family.

The two old rivers and lakes cover their faces with wine, you say a word, I say a word, and they are talking nonsense. The other village owners listened to it and coaxed them with their wine bowls. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen bowls of hot wine fell into their stomachs, and everyone remembered Cheng Mingzhen again. Zhang Jin ordered the attendants to fill the wine in front of everyone, and smiled and proposed, "Okay, let's not forget Lao Jiu." He probably warmed up by now. Come, let's do this bowl together, congratulations to the nine masters! ”

"He Jiu is victorious!" The owners of the main hall of the village responded in unison.

"It's still a big loss! This one, let's pay tribute to the big boss first! Cheng Mingzhen hurriedly stood up and held a wine bowl to thank him.

"The credit is yours, how can it be credited to me?" Zhang Jin said that he was called a Shu Tai in his heart, but his mouth became more polite.

Cheng Mingzhen shook his head with a smile, "If it weren't for the trust of the big boss, how could Cheng have the ability to dispatch these more than 100,000 brothers." Therefore, the credit of the big boss is much higher than that of Cheng! ”

Seeing that Cheng Mingzhen and Zhang Jin couldn't thank each other, Hao Laodao hurriedly stepped up and proposed loudly, "It makes sense, the merit is indeed a big master, but the credit of the nine masters is not small!" Simply, let's have a bowl of wine and two toasts, and let the big boss and the nine masters do it together! After that, his eyes glanced at Lu Fangyuan, the eighth master, intentionally or unintentionally, and his eyes were full of smiles.

On the night of the enemy's attack, Lu Fangyuan had fought side by side with Hao Laodao, and the two had already formed a friendship with blood. Seeing Hao Laodao's eyes, he immediately stood up with understanding, "Congratulations to the big boss and the nine masters!" ”

"Congratulations to the big boss and the nine masters!" The hall masters and village owners responded in unison and raised the wine bowl into the air again. At this time, Zhang Jincheng and Cheng Mingzhen had nothing to say, raised the wine bowl and touched it gently, and drank it all.

The problem of who has the greatest credit is solved, the more lively the atmosphere of the banquet becomes. The leaders constantly stood up and toasted Zhang Jincheng and Cheng Mingzhen in turn. Zhang Jin said that he was happy in his heart, one bite at a time, and never shirked. Cheng Mingzhen had no choice but to drink in a big bowl like drinking water, and in less than half an hour, his face was already smoky and drunk.

This round of drinking was too urgent, Zhang Jincheng also began to feel dizzy, slapping the table triumphantly, and all the things that should be said and shouldn't be said came out, "Lao Feng hid behind the city wall, thinking that we couldn't do anything about him." But I didn't know that Jiu Dangjia and I had already laid a net for him, as long as the Wang Hall Master and they rushed outside Liyang City, no matter whether they could get in or not, Lao Feng Tou would have to turn back desperately to save him. At that time, we will chase him, but we will toss him hard, toss him out of ......"

Hearing this, most of the people in the tent knew that Wang Ermao and Zhang Zhupi, with thousands of cavalry, were not going to block Wei Zheng, but were preparing to attack Liyangcang. One by one they were dumbfounded, and most of the wine in the bowl spilled to their knees.

"People, are there fewer people?" After the shock, someone whispered.

"That's a ruthless move." Someone whispered admiration, glanced at Zhang Jincheng with a smug face, and did not dare to easily draw a negative conclusion.

"Ruthless! Take one step, look at ten steps, this is the way to use soldiers! Zhang Jin said that he was completely unaware of the suspicions of the brothers, and he confidently opened his mouth, "This is the reason why I value Lao Jiu." Everyone will have to learn from him in the future. Anyone who dares to use soldiers like this, I have seen two ...... in my life"

He triumphantly stretched out two fingers, as if they were both his nephews, "Don't think there are few people. The key to this trick is surprise. Last year, General Li made a surprise attack on Liyang, but he only brought a few thousand men and horses. At that time, there were tens of thousands of defenders in Liyang! This time, almost all of the people who can breathe have been given by Lao Feng, and the rest are crooked, crooked melons and cracked dates, and also, it may not be enough for the hall master to pull it! ”
