Chapter 210: Pigeons and Hounds

Du Dalei agreed to come down and left with the children.

Zhao Zizhong and Zhai Xiaoshan continued to advance towards the interior of the camp. Zhai Xiaoshan held a crossbow and vigilantly observed the situation around him, he was afraid that an enemy would suddenly rush out and attack Zhao Zizhong.

The guards fanned forward, and on the way they met some civilians, who carried a few pirates tied up like rice dumplings, and walked in the direction of the convoy's station.

Zhao Zizhong grabbed a young man and asked, "Do you know where Fan Jinchun is?" ”

The young man pointed to the northwest, "Mr. Zhao, Captain Fan is leading everyone over there, they are chasing the enemy." ”

Zhao Zizhong smiled and said: "Everyone has worked hard, you send these people to the escort team, and then you must be vigilant and guard the residence of the women and children to prevent sporadic enemy sneak attacks." ”

The people all said that they would pay attention, and then they all left.

Zhao Zizhong led everyone to continue to move forward, and met many acquaintances on the way, all of whom pointed out the direction of Fan Jinchun's pursuit for them.

Zhao Zizhong quickly caught up with the large army and found Fan Jinchun, who was directing the search team.

When Fan Jinchun saw Zhao Zizhong, he immediately said: "Mr. Zhao, according to the situation reported by everyone, there should be dozens of enemies in the woods, I want everyone to search, but it is too dark, and we don't have enough manpower!" ”

Zhao Zi thought about it again and said, "Old Fan, you are right to worry, if we enter the forest to search now, we will probably be attacked by the enemy." I think everyone should go back to the camp first, and after dawn, gather a large group of men and horses into the woods to search for the enemy. Anyway, Qishan Island is so big, as long as we control all the ships, the enemy will not be able to escape. ”

Fan Jinchun nodded yes, and immediately ordered everyone to come closer, and then returned to the camp in an orderly manner.

The guards and the populace returned one after another, and everyone walked towards the camp together.

Zhai Xiaoshan suggested: "Mr. Zhao, I have an idea, is it feasible for you to listen to it. ”

"Oh? Let's hear it. ”

"I'd like to bring back all the scouts who are training for survival on a desert island, they've been training for months and they've learned a lot. Especially in the mountains and forests, they are very good at identifying directions and tracking enemy training. ”

Zhao Zizhong slapped his forehead, "How did I forget these guys, it's time to test their skills." You immediately send someone to fetch them back, and when An Dalang and Zhang Hong return tomorrow, let the scouts scout the enemy's traces first, and then send a large force to capture them. ”

Zhai Xiaoshan agreed to come down and immediately sent someone to the dock to give an order.

Fan Jinchun leaned over and said, "Mr. Zhao, it is said that Cui Zhaorong got some hunting dogs, and he likes those guys very much. If we go to him and borrow a few, it should be helpful to capture the enemy. ”

Zhao Zizhong was surprised, "Old Fan, when did Steward Cui get the hound?" How come I haven't heard of it? ”

"Mr. Zhao, that was more than two months ago. Didn't we find a pigeon breeder? Cui Zhaorong also found a few guys who are very good at raising hunting dogs, and it is said that he wants to cultivate some good dogs for hunting in the future. ”

Zhao Zi laughed heavily, "I didn't expect Lao Cui to like hunting!" However, it is indeed a good idea to chase the enemy with hounds. After dawn tomorrow, we will go to Cui Zhaorong and borrow his treasure to use. ”

Zhai Xiaoshan said: "Mr. Zhao, there is one more thing to report to you. The pigeon keeper has already set up a pigeon base on Zhoushan Island and the camp, and they have experimented several times, and it is said that they can already pass simple letters between the camp and Zhoushan Island. ”

Zhao Zizhong was very happy, "Is it true?" ”

Zhai Xiaoshan nodded, "That's right, I've succeeded a few times." It is said that a pigeon base will soon be established in the courtyard of the Cui family's mansion in Mingzhou. ”

"That's a great thing! To reward the person who keeps the pigeons, give more money. If he has any difficulties, we must solve them first. ”

Fan Jinchun said: "Mr. Zhao, let's wait until we have cleaned up the enemy, and then pay attention to these things." When are we going to pursue the enemy who has fled by boat? ”

Zhao Zi thought about it again, "It's better to catch the sporadic pirates on the island first, and then interrogate them properly." We need to understand the specific situation of the enemy and then make a battle plan. If we go to the southern seas to catch pirates, we must make all the preparations and not take the enemy lightly. After all, it is their old nest, occupying the right time and place. ”

Zhai Xiaoshan also said: "Old Fan, we really can't be in a hurry, we should plan well to fight in a place far away from our territory." As long as we are not ambushed by the enemy, with the advantage of our equipment and training, we will definitely defeat the enemy easily. ”

Fan Jinchun thought about it and laughed at himself: "Hey, I'm really in a hurry." I'm in my thirties, and I haven't been able to calm down like Zhai Xiaoshan. We need to plan carefully, catch all the enemies, and we must catch them all! ”

The three of them walked and chatted, and soon returned to the camp.

At this time, a glimmer of light was already shining on the horizon. They came to the cafeteria, and Zhao Zizhong asked the cooks to cook immediately, so that the people who had worked hard all night could eat hot meals as soon as possible.

Du Dalei staggered in, followed by more than a dozen children.

When Hu Yidao saw Zhao Zizhong, he hurriedly ran over and said loudly: "Mr. Zhao, we didn't embarrass you!" We fought the enemy, and although a few of our classmates were wounded, we didn't let the enemy take advantage. ”

Du Dalei walked over and said with a smile: "Boss, these boys are doing very well, they have protected Liang Daguan and those five scholars. If they hadn't stopped the pirates, it is estimated that Liang Daguan and Cao Yongxian would have been killed by the pirates. ”

Zhao Zizhong was very pleased, touched Hu Yidao's head, and said with a smile: "Good job, it's not in vain for our brother to train you." In a few days, I will take you out to sea to hunt down the fleeing enemies. ”

The children were overjoyed and cheered.

Cheng Sangou leaned over and asked, "Mr. Zhao, you won't lie to us, right?" ”

Du Dalei kicked him, "You kid actually dare to doubt the boss?" Is it itchy skin? ”

Cheng Sangou hid behind Zhao Zizhong, glared at Du Dalei and said, "You will do it, I just asked Mr. Zhao, why did you kick me again?" ”

Zhao Zizhong said to Cheng Sangou: "It's not right for him to beat you, I will criticize him." When I say I'll take you out to sea, I'll be sure to talk and count, and I won't lie to you. You have to behave well and help the teachers to manage the children. When we go to the woods to capture the enemy during the day, you have to watch out for your classmates and don't let them out of the school. I'm afraid that if something slips through the net, it's not good for you. ”

Cheng Sangou patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely do it." If something goes wrong, you're going to put me in a dark room!" ”

Tian Renfeng came out and said, "Mr. Zhao, I want a chart of the south, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

Zhao Zizhong asked, "What do you want the chart for?" ”

Tian Renfeng replied: "If we carefully study the charts, we can calculate the locations where the pirates may be hiding, and we can also analyze the laws of their activities. ”

Du Dalei was very happy, pinching Tianren Feng's white and tender face, "Boy, you are very powerful!" It seems that you are the material to be a kobold strategist. ”

Zhao Zi kicked Du Dalei again, "You are talking nonsense again, what kind of dog-headed military division, Tian Renfeng has a very smart head, and he will be a good material to be a chief of staff in the future." ”

Fan Jinchun asked, "Mr. Zhao, what do you mean by what you say?" ”

"It's the chief of staff, that's what it means to be a military advisor."

Du Dalei laughed heartlessly, "Boss, speaking of which, isn't the chief of staff still a dog-headed military division?" ”

At this time, Wei Hongye, Liang Daguan, and five scholars walked into the cafeteria.

After everyone got together, Zhao Zizhong asked, "Old Wei, where did you go last night?" Did anything happen? ”

Wei Hongye replied: "I have been in the ironsmith workshop last night, studying the forging process with the craftsmen. I also just learned about the pirate attack, and nothing happened to us there. ”

Liang Daguan walked to the children's table and stuffed a few banknotes for each child.

He smiled and said, "Boys, thank you for saving the old man last night. It's not a lot of money, so you can use it to buy something you like. ”

The children looked at the banknotes, and each one had the word "Ten Through" printed on it.

Hu Yidao hurriedly stood up and said, "Mr. Liang, we can't ask for this money. You'd better take it back. ”

"Yes, yes, we didn't save you for the money!" Cheng Sangou also said.

The children all put the banknotes on the table, and Tian Renfeng folded the money and sent it to Liang Daguan.

"Mr. Liang, we will never ask for this money. You know, we know. You'd better put your money away. ”

Liang Daguan blew his beard and glared at him and said, "What? Boys. You look down on someone Liang! Isn't it just some money? You saved the old man's life! ”

Cao Yongxian also came over and said, "Little brothers, I also want to thank you for saving us scholars. Everyone knows that Liang Daguan and my Cao family are both businessmen. We don't have much else, but we have a lot of money. The way we thank you is by compensating you with money. If you don't take it, we'll be upset. ”

The children shook their heads like rattles, and no one would accept the bills.

Zhao Zizhong walked over and said happily: "Children, you are doing the right thing!" We don't save people for money. We are a community with a sense of justice, all for one, one for all. This is our faith! Everyone should help each other and strive for a better tomorrow! ”
