sent a surprise army to attack behind the enemy, took Liyang Cang by surprise, and completely cut off Feng Xiaoci's way of life. Although this trick is incredible, it is not Cheng Mingzhen's first creation. When he dispatched troops, what he copied in his heart was the move of Xiongwulang to attack Li Xu thousands of miles last year and eliminate Yang Xuangan's grain depot in one fell swoop. It's just that he never imagined that Zhang Jincheng, a big boss who didn't know anything about the art of war, could clearly see the ins and outs of this strategy, and was full of confidence in the success of the strategy, as if the result should have been like this.

Not only Cheng Mingzhen was surprised, but several other village owners and hall masters present put down their wine bowls one after another. Some of them hadn't even heard of any fighting outside Liyang City last year, and their eyes widened and they asked, "That, what did that General Li do?" Why do our big bosses respect him so much? ”

"It seems to be a junior of the Great General! I've vaguely heard people mention it! "Some people have only heard of the battle of Liyang, but they like to fill the garlic very much," it is said that he led thousands of cavalry from Zhuo County to Liyang. The banners have all entered Liyang City, and the generals defending the city haven't figured out who is coming? ”

"Nonsense, it's clear that a field battle was fought!" Immediately someone loudly pointed out the speaker's mistake. "Just when we besieged Guantao last year, General Li ran thousands of miles along the official road to attack the sunset. The defending general Yuan Wuben hurriedly met the battle, and was slapped by General Li and cut off his head! ”

"Shhh The observer gasped, the story of the head of the general in the 10,000 horse army, everyone had just heard it during the chat, and they couldn't believe it at all. In reality, it is very rare to be a master of one as ten. Even if Hao Laodao is as skillful, surrounded by twenty strong men with spears, he still has to be poked all over his body.

"What about the soldiers under the guard, just watching the commander being cut down?"

"Quick, do you understand. That General Li is said to be a descendant of the flying general Li Guang. General Fei, if you listen to this nickname, you will know how fast he moves. It is said that there are tens of thousands of soldiers in Liyang City, and before he could draw his sword, the commander's head was cut off by General Li! ”

Even if someone says that a cow is flying in the sky, no one will be surprised. Talking, talking, everyone forgot the reason for the conversation, and talked about all kinds of rumors about immortals and swordsmen. There are those who can shrink the ground into inches, one step and ten miles. There are those who can hide their bodies in sparrow nests and use cold arrows to hurt people when they are not paying attention. There are also those who can soar with a sword and cut off people's heads thousands of miles away. Anyway, it's all strange, how can it be enjoyable. It's just that no one thinks about it carefully, if Zhang Jin says that there is a high-ranking official of the Great Sui as a junior, why should he be forced to rebel? Just let that high-ranking official write a note, from Wei County to Xindu, which local official would not give three points of thin noodles?

This question was hidden in Cheng Mingzhen's stomach, and after the banquet was over, he quietly followed behind Du Scar and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Yue, are you and the two big bosses familiar with General Li?" How do I keep hearing the big boss talk about him! ”

"Cooked!" Speaking of Li Xu, Du Scara was also proud, "That kid, the time I saw him, I knew that he was a character." He was fourteen years old at the time. People say that three-year-olds look young, and seven-year-olds look old. This is really true! That kid, tsk......"

Du Scar's mouth was full of wine, and he explained to Cheng Mingzhen in a low voice, "It's not ordinary hard work to sell goods. On the way, you have to treat yourself as a cattle, and serve the animals that carry things as a master. The eight hundred miles of Yan Mountain are endless, and all the Tao is ground out with feet. Even a young man in his twenties, the second time he walks that mountain road, he will be tired and miserable. But Xu Zi, who is a family, has not screamed bitterly since he left the house. At the beginning, Lao Mazi's eyes were shallow, and he always tried every means to bully him. But no matter how much work Xu Zi does during the day, he will rest for a little night, and the next day he will be alive again! ”

Regarding the past of Du Scar and Zhang Jincheng going out together, Cheng Mingzhen also heard his wife Du Juan mention it. The Great Sui Dynasty implemented the policy of emphasizing agriculture over commerce, and to the point that the family could not open the pot, few men gave up the fields and took the initiative to become foot merchants. Extrapolating in this way, General Xiao Li, who has been in the limelight among the new generation of generals in the Great Sui in the past two years, may not be from an ordinary humble background. Even compared him with himself, Cheng Mingzhen felt that the family backgrounds of the two were comparable.

And the other party is now famous, but he is deeply reckless. Although the big boss Zhang Jincheng and his father-in-law Du Scar have been the little minions under him, they are all very kind to him. But Cheng Mingzhen couldn't get rid of a regret in his heart. If there was a choice at the beginning, he would rather be a small lieutenant of the government than the master of Jiuzhai in Juluze. Although the status of the former seems to be far less brilliant than that of the latter.

Du Scar was talking about sexuality, and he didn't notice the loss in Cheng Mingzhen's eyes, paused, and continued: "That year, our goods were sold at a good price, and everyone thought they had made a windfall. One by one, they burned the bags to death, picking up the good horses and rowing back. Xu Zi and Xu Dayan persuaded us to buy a little less horses, so as not to attract people's worries, and we still thought he was troublesome. As a result, as soon as I entered the Great Wall......"

The old man shook his head and smiled bitterly, his eyes instantly lost the warmth of the world, "As soon as I entered the Great Wall, the officials surrounded me." The skins and good horses that everyone had worked so hard to sell back were forcibly requisitioned, and they were not given a penny, and each person was only given a three-inch wide note! ”

No wonder Zhang Jin said that he and others wanted to rebel. Whoever is forced to a dead end will have to pull a few pads on the verge of death! Cheng Mingzhen patted his father-in-law on the shoulder sympathetically to show comfort, "The government forced the people to rebel, and it has been like this since ancient times!" What about the surname Li, why didn't he rebel with everyone? Also, who is Xu Dayan? Why haven't you heard Zhang Da mention this person? ”

Du Scara smiled bitterly and sighed, "What kind of fate is Xuzi, how can he be as unlucky as us?" He and Xu Dayan went out of the fortress at that time, just to avoid military service, so as not to go to Liaodong to be a dead ghost, not to do business at all! As soon as everyone arrived outside the Saiwai, he was taken by the daughter of the patriarch of the tribe. Tsk, the patriarch's daughter, she looks like a flower and bones, and I don't know how many people look at it every day. But people just looked at Xuzi and pleasing it, crying and shouting that they wanted to paste it! However, our Xuzi is not ambiguous, and later I heard that he and Xu Dayan helped the two of them to refine an elite army, and wiped out the Suotou Xi Division, which was several times larger than the Xiaren tribe, in a battle. Hey, the characters are all characters there, even if they are put in a palm-sized pond, they can stir up three feet of wind and waves! ”

With a red face on the side, a sword in hand, and while talking and laughing, the enemy's territory collapsed. Cheng Mingzhen has only seen this kind of leisurely life in his dreams, but in reality, he can't even think about it. "This person's luck is really not ordinary!" While envious, he continued to satisfy his curiosity, "Then how did he become a general of the imperial court again?" What about Xu Dayan, who stayed in the Ministry of Thunder later? ”

"I don't know much about what happened to me later. Uh-huh! Du Scar faltered, and the smell of wine could faint a large number of ants against the wind, "The note given to us by the government said that we could go back to our hometown to find the local parents and officials to get back the capital." Boss Sun took everyone back to his hometown to negotiate with the government. As a result, the local officials first pushed two, five or six, and dragged it and refused to give it. Later, he was squeezed by Boss Sun in a hurry, and he actually fabricated a charge of stealing sheep and arrested Boss Sun! ”

Boss Sun must have been called angry by Zhang Jin and dropped Sun Anzu! Cheng Mingzhen had the heart to investigate the specific details, and held his breath and listened. Why did Nai Du Scar drink too much, and his speech was simply a preface and a follow-up, "Uh! Happy, I drank so much today. Little Jiuzi, you really give me a long face! I've been fighting for years, and I've never had this pleasure. Belch! When they saw Boss Sun being arrested, everyone was dumbfounded. Later, your Zhang Erbo planned to go out of the Sai to find Xuzi again, on the one hand, to send him and Lao Mazi's children outside the Saiwai, so as not to be arrested by the government to conquer Liao. On the other hand, I want to see if there is a way for Xu Dayan's family to help dredge up the relationship and fish out Boss Sun. ”

"It is estimated that General Li will not care. Uncle Wang Si usually does a great job! From the other party's point of view, Cheng Mingzhen preemptively came to a conclusion.

"Done. Why don't you say that Xuzi is righteous? Although Wang Mazi bullied him, he was able to walk safely outside the plug, and he was all taken care of by everyone, well, mainly because of the care of Boss Sun and Hao Laowu. ”

This was somewhat unexpected by Cheng Mingzhen, but if you think about it carefully, you will understand the reason. In Juluze, there are almost as many disadvantages as there are advantages. They have no shortage of compassion for the weak, but lack the most basic respect for others. They sometimes behave like hatred, and they do bad things with impunity. General Li mixed with them back then, and the taste in his heart was probably mixed with hot and cold. Both grateful for their care and disdainful of their snobbery!

Xuzi left Zhang Ji and Wang Kewang in the Ministry to help him take care of the warehouse. also gave you a large sum of money to Zhang Erbo, and let him take it back to the Central Plains to dredge up the relationship. As a result, the county commander was insatiable, took the treasure but refused to let go, and always wanted to squeeze more oil and water out of us. You Zhang Erbo and Hao Laodao couldn't bear it, so they had to kill people and rob prisons. Then Boss Sun, your second uncle Zhang, as well as Wang Mazi, Hao Laodao, and Dou Jiande, a few of us entered Gaojibo! ”

Zhang Jin said that he did not hesitate to kill and rob the prison in order to save Sun Anzu? Another unexpected piece of news shocked Cheng Mingzhen's eyes. He couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart, he looked around and asked in a very low voice: "Then why did Zhang Da kill Sun Anzu again." Aren't they lifelong friendships? ”

"That's none of your business!" Du Scar, who was still full of smoke before, was immediately frightened and woke up, stretched out his hand to pull Cheng Mingzhen into the shadows where the lights could not shine, and told viciously, "Xiao Jiu, don't talk nonsense if you have some words. That has nothing to do with you, don't ask. No good! Anyway, you kid just remember, whether I'm in the future or not, don't provoke the big boss. Did you hear that? ”

"Know! I'm careful! Cheng Mingzhen was frightened by the expression on Du Scar's face, and responded repeatedly. Don't worry, I have nothing to do with the surname Sun! ”

"If it has a relationship, you can't ask? You don't know there's such a person! Du Scarqi glanced at him and continued to emphasize. That matter is a taboo for our Juluze, and no one can mention it! You just have to fight your battle well, and I'll take care of the rest for you. As long as I don't die for a day, no one will be able to bully you two! If I'm not there one day, you two, hey, you two will wash your hands. Find a place where no one knows you and hide, anyway, we have enough money in our hands to last a few lifetimes! ”

"Look at what you said, Uncle Yue!" Cheng Mingzhen scratched his scalp with a smile. It was rare for Du Scar to talk to him so seriously, so serious that it was difficult for him to get used to it. "Your arms and legs are so neat, it must be a long life!"

"Alas!" Du Scarqi spat out a long white cigarette on his back, as if there were countless resentments hidden in his heart. "I've done too much murder and arson in the past few years. Sooner or later, you will be punished. But you are different from Juanzi, you are both good children, and you will have a long life in the future. If you can, don't kill indiscriminately, this God, maybe you will wake up one day! ”

"Hmm!" was actually persuaded by a bandit to accumulate virtue and do good, Cheng Mingzhen couldn't cry or laugh. Out of respect for his elders, he whispered back. With a little more strength in his hand, he helped Du Scar to walk towards the sleeping tent.

The joy in the camp had not yet dissipated, and almost all the minions were drunk. Seeing Cheng Mingzhen and Du Scar's son-in-law passing by, many minions took the initiative to come forward to show their goodwill. Although Du Scar's body is swaying, his mouth is reckless, "Don't help me, don't help me." My son-in-law, and you drink yours. Little Jiuzi, let's go back to my tent and continue to drink. I'll have to test your drink! ”

Hearing him say this, the minions all retreated in amusement. Weng and his son-in-law walked forward in a smoky manner, and came to the outside of Du Scar's sleeping tent in a blink of an eye. The two women who came heard the footsteps outside, and quickly hunched over and walked out of the tent.

With a female dependent, of course Cheng Mingzhen couldn't continue to walk inside, stopped his steps, and said in a low voice: "You go back and rest, I'll go to patrol the camp again!" ”

"Don't, don't go. We haven't finished chatting yet! Du Scar didn't care, and pulled Cheng Mingzhen's arm into the tent.

Cheng Mingzhen struggled for a while, and explained with a smile, "It's too late, you still have to pay attention to your bones." If I can't get it right tomorrow, I'll have to fight with the surnamed Feng, I'll sleep too late, and I won't have the strength in my hands by then! ”

"Yes!" Du Scar scratched his scalp in disdain, "I forgot about this stubble." You go! I drink it myself! ”

Seeing Cheng Mingzhen turn around, the old man's eyes were full of appreciation. What a good son-in-law, Juan Zi just has vision. "Remember the last thing I said to you!" Suddenly remembering the conversation just now, he chased a few steps and whispered to Cheng Mingzhen again. "Also, I remembered. That Xu Dayan, didn't you ask him just now? ”

"Ahh Cheng Mingzhen had to stop.

Du Scar was envious and proud, and his voice suddenly increased extremely high, and he could hear it from afar, "That Xu is big-eyed, he is also a figure with a head and a face now." Wagangzhai sits in second place, second only to the big boss Zhai Rang! ”
