Chapter 46: The old merchant said
Chang Shen left immediately after Zhang Song finished arranging.
After Fang Tao's entourage was ordered to get the newly crafted weapons from the iron-smelting field, Zhang Song, Zhong Lei, and Fang Tao went to the room where Chang Shen and the other wounded lived.
The room was bathed in the setting sun, quiet and peaceful. The room was full of shouting, laughing, scolding, and laughter.
In the midst of laughter, some soldiers inadvertently glanced sideways at the outside of the house, and found the arrival of Zhang Song, Zhong Lei, and Fang Tao, so they reported to Chang Shen.
"What are you doing? Everyone was laughing so happily. Zhang Song asked.
"We're chatting, mainly because we want to know about the night attack." Chang Shen replied, "By the way, I asked someone to reveal your old bottom in Yongping County." ”
"Boom" The soldiers in the room all laughed. After hearing about Zhang Song's deeds, the soldiers were all incredulous at what Zhang Song had done, and they stood in a huddle, looking at Zhang Song with surprise and admiration in their eyes.
Zhang Song looked at the faces of the soldiers one by one, and saw all the energetic and energetic faces. What made Zhang Song happiest was that Zhou Mingshu's subordinates looked at Zhang Song without estrangement, let alone hostility and contempt, but with a little closeness and enthusiasm.
Originally, because Zhang Song was not from Qingsong Valley, and was not treated well by Yu Minzhi and Zhou Mingshu, Zhou Mingshu's subordinates were either hostile to Zhang Song or despised Zhang Song, and none of them expressed their closeness to Zhang Song.
It was right to let Zhou Mingshu's subordinates concentrate here, Zhang Song thought to himself, and at the same time glanced at Chang Shen, who was also a person who could do things.
"Everyone be quiet, Zhang Jun has something to say to everyone." Chang Shen said to everyone.
When the soldier heard this, he quickly quieted down, and his eyes looked at Zhang Song together.
"Comrades!"
As soon as he spoke, Zhang Song knew that he was not right, and inadvertently shouted out the title of his previous life. It's just that once the words come out, they can't be changed, and they can only be wrong.
"Why do you call everyone gay? Because all of us present have the same thoughts, that is, to raise food and solve the food crisis in Qingsong Valley, because all of us have the same thoughts and aspirations, so we call everyone comrades. ”
After the soldiers heard this, the confusion in their eyes caused by Zhang Song's salutation disappeared. It dawned on them, and Orr became excited again. can be cited as a fellow by such a legendary figure as Zhang Song, and the soldiers are also honored.
Zhong Lei, Fang Tao and Chang Shen also nodded on the side, and seemed to agree with this title.
"I think you all already know that the valley sent you to go with me to raise food, and in the process of raising food, you may encounter danger, and there may be bloodshed and sacrifice, I want to ask everyone, are you afraid?" Zhang Song asked.
"Don't be afraid!"
"What are you afraid of! It's not like we've seen bloodshed and sacrifice! ”
……
The soldiers expressed their stance one after another, but not one of them flinched.
Zhang Song was very happy, and he said loudly: "Good! Everyone is a strong man, so let's raise food together, and we can eat and drink enough in the future, and have a good winter this year! ”
Taking advantage of the applause of the soldiers, Zhang Song distributed the weapons he had taken to the soldiers who did not have iron weapons. Under the full force, the efficiency of the iron-smelting field under the leadership of the iron-striker is very high, and the weapons created are more than enough to equip Zhou Mingshu's subordinates.
Just as the weapons were being distributed, Zhang Song sat down with Zhong Lei, Chang Shen, and Fang Tao, spread out the map, and began to discuss the plan to pacify the West Cave thieves tonight.
"Ladies and gentlemen." Fang Tao said, "My opinion is this, the West Cave Thieves, Huayang Thieves, and Xindi Thieves must pass through the same road to come to Qingsong Valley, which is very beneficial to us, but the West Cave Thieves are about two miles away from the thieves who came to Qingsong Valley. ”
Zhang Song heard this seriously and asked, "Fang Tao, how can we ensure our back road?" You must know that the three groups of thieves had conflicts with each other in the past, but a few days ago they besieged Qingsong Valley together, and now they must be worried about Qingsong Valley's revenge, so they can't help but unite with them. ”
"I mean, two miles forward in the direction of the Huayang Bandits and the Xindi Bandits, send a few more scouts to observe the movements of the Huayang Bandits and the Xindi Bandits, and if the Huayang Bandits and the Xindi Bandits send a large number of men and horses to support, we will immediately withdraw to Qingsong Valley."
Zhang Song glanced at Zhong Lei and Chang Shen, neither of them spoke, and they should have agreed with Fang Tao's opinion.
"One more thing, I suggest sending someone to secretly watch at the intersection to the West Cave, if someone from the West Cave goes to the direction of Huayang and Xindi, all of them will be killed!" Fang Tao lowered his voice, murderous.
Fang Tao is still very serious about fighting, not only serious, but also very talented, Zhang Song admired in his heart, although this is just a simple thief action, but Fang Tao arranged this operation very thoughtfully.
Zhang Song immediately nodded in agreement with Fang Tao's plan.
"Zhong Jun, please also arrange for the staff to cook the rice, and we will set off after feeding." Zhang Song said to Zhong Lei.
"Yes!" Zhong Lei agreed, turned around and arranged it.
Later, after several discussions, Zhang Song and Zhong Lei still decided to let Fang Tao stay, and sent someone to notify the iron man, so that the iron man could cooperate with Fang Tao and pay attention to the movements in Qingsong Valley.
"There is another problem, we have to send a suitable person to the intersection to the west cave to keep an eye on it." Zhang Song looked at Zhong Lei and Chang Shen, and felt that there were not enough talents.
"Zhang Song, you don't have to worry, let Kong Yi go, Kong Yi will definitely be able to complete this task." Zhong Lei said.
"Kong Yixing, brave and strategic, very suitable for this task." Chang Shen also agreed.
Zhang Song agreed. Zhong Lei called Kong Yi over, and Zhang Song, Zhong Lei, and Chang Shen all confessed. Kong Yi listened carefully, finished eating first, and then took the first step.
By the time the deliberations were over, the weapons had already been distributed.
After feeding, it was getting late, and the little half moon hung in the sky, emitting a faint light.
The sky covered the earth dimly showed a little figure, and the road that ran through the valley was faintly recognizable.
In front of the house where the wounded lived in Qingsong Valley, the torches were burning vigorously, and seventy soldiers were lined up in three rows, led by Zhang Song, Chang Shen, and Zhong Lei.
All the soldiers were armed with weapons in their hands, with tall postures, looking forward, their eyes firm, and their temperament calm, standing quietly, waiting for the orders of the commander without hurry.
Except for the beeping sound of burning torches, the entire team made no sound.
Looking at this team, Zhang Song was extremely emotional, no matter how Zhou Mingshu was, but the trained soldiers were indeed extraordinary. Zhang Song was also very glad in his heart, glad that his idea was to recruit these soldiers, not to wipe them out, otherwise he would really regret it.
Seeing the performance of the soldiers in Qingsong Valley, Zhang Song secretly shouted "good" in his heart, this is the army he wants.
Even in the face of the weakest opponent, once you fight, you must be like a goshawk fighting a rabbit, go all out, and never take it lightly; Even in the face of the most powerful opponents, in a desperate situation, you can be as calm as water, looking for that faint trace of vitality.
Of course, at the moment, these soldiers in front of them have only slightly possessed the first quality.
However, Zhang Song believed that if he switched to training according to his own method for a period of time in the future, the soldiers of Qingsong Valley would definitely become good soldiers with both qualities. At that time, this army will be the most elite army in the whole world.
In fact, not only the army, but any team can only go further if it has these two qualities, otherwise it will not be enough to achieve great things after all. Take Zhang Song's previous national football team as an example, when it is weak, it is arrogant, and when it is strong, it is discouraged, and the result is defeat after defeat, and the defeat is a mess.
After collecting his thoughts, Zhang Song talked with Zhong Lei and Chang Shen for a few words and gave an order.
"Let's go!"
Torches were lit and the procession ran neatly and quickly towards the outside of the valley, which was silent except for the echo of uniform footsteps.
Because of the treacherous terrain of the West Cave, a small path can only allow one horse to pass through, and at the same time, he was worried that the neighing of the horses would alarm the West Cave thieves, Zhang Song adopted Zhong Lei's suggestion, and all of them marched in the way of infantry, no longer riding horses.
The gate of the green pine valley was wide open, and the soldiers who remained behind stood on both sides and saluted the marching procession.
Half an hour after leaving the valley, the team was about to reach the intersection agreed upon by Zhang Song and Kong Yi.
"Stop! Rest in place! ”
Zhang Song raised his arm and gave an order in a low voice.
After a slight noise, the team stopped and sat on the spot to rest.
"Put out all the torches!" Zhang Song gave the second order.
In an instant, all the torches were extinguished, and the smell of fireworks filled the air.
The road that was clearly visible was faintly blurred by the extinguishing of the torches, and if you made it carefully, it would not affect the progress of the team.
Zhang Song looked around suspiciously, except for the sound of insects, there was silence all around, and Kong Yi had not appeared until now, he should have been here to monitor the situation of the western thieves.
"Zhong Jun, Kong Yi ......" there was also surprise in Chang Shen's tone.
"What's going on? What about the people who are watching? ”
Zhong Lei brought a few small leaders to gather over, and he asked Zhang Song suspiciously.
Zhang Song shook his head, indicating that he didn't know the situation either.
The atmosphere became a little dignified in an instant, and if something happened to Kong Yi, the situation would become bad.
"Could it be ......?" said one of the people next to him, but he didn't dare to continue.
Although Zhang Song had contact with Kong Yi, he didn't know much about it, so he looked at Zhong Lei and Chang Shen beside him.
"Kong Yi is extremely reliable, as long as it is ordered, he can find a way to do it well." Zhong Lei said, "Now that he is gone, I'm afraid it's ......."
Hearing that Kong Yi was extremely reliable again, Zhang Song relieved himself.
"Since Kong Yi is reliable, then don't jump to conclusions, it's possible that he has something to do and left for the time being. Chang Shen, Zhong Jun, you each take two people to explore the surroundings to see if you can find any trace of Kong Yi. Zhang Song instructed Zhong Lei and Chang Shen.
Yu Xinzhi and Li Shan each selected two people and were preparing to search around. In the direction of the West Cave, two figures walked towards Zhang Song and them.
"Who?"
Yu Xinzhi asked in a low voice, and at the same time, Yu Xinzhi and Li Shan's weapons pointed at the comer, and they were ready to fight. Many soldiers stood up, weapons in hand, waiting for orders. Some of the soldiers, under the command of Song Pei, secretly surrounded the two men.
