Chapter 27 A Hundred Battles and Righteousness (6)
The moonlight is as gentle as water.
The atmosphere is as solemn as a knife.
The cold scales of the chain mail were covered with clear light.
Meng Ping carried a horizontal knife on his back, a short crossbow on his waist, and a cat body, climbing between the mountain roads. Behind him, there were fifty sharp soldiers of the Hundred Battles Army, all of whom did not say a word, because they all had small wooden sticks in their mouths. Their military boots trampled on the weeds, silent; Their boots were silent as they stepped on the stones; Their military boots trampled on the dirt, and there was silence.
They are silent. Only a pair of eyes, bright and penetrating, like a pearl in the night, more like a ghost eye asking for life.
"There are two sentry posts on the boulder five zhang away from the northeast." Meng Ping suddenly stopped, because he heard this extremely low voice.
He didn't turn his head to look at it, because he knew who made the sound, and he knew that there would be nothing wrong with it. So he beckoned, and immediately two sharp men stepped forward, like two ghosts, and touched the big stone.
Anyone who is so familiar with this place will definitely not be the first time to visit.
Tao Yaoyao half-squatted on the ground, and there was no half laziness in his expression, all serious.
This time, it wasn't her who took the initiative to come up, it was Li Congjing who invited her. Acting with the official army and secretly attacking Liangzi Mountain, it was inevitable to kill the bandits, and when Tao Yaoyao heard Li Congjing's words clearly, he instinctively refused. Even if the other party is not a fairy mountain thief, she can't let go of the estrangement in her heart. But Li Congjing was extremely persistent.
If there is no one to lead the way up the mountain, they can't pull out the sentry posts of Liangzi Mountain, and before entering the cottage, they can't let others find them, that is to say, they can't deal with the sentry with Chen Zhiyuan's tokens, because the news may leak into Sun Baigong's ears.
And to deal with the Liangzishan sentry in the back mountain, it is necessary to accompany Tao Yaoyao and Li Congjing. Li Congjing wants to sit in the barracks and control the overall situation of scheduling, so naturally he can't walk away.
And in order to meet with Chen Zhiyuan and help the action, Tao Xiaoyao must also go up the mountain. Because she is the middleman, there is no one like her, who is trusted by both parties.
After two very soft muffled sounds, the sharp man who stepped forward gestured towards Meng Ping, Meng Ping beckoned, and continued to move forward with the sharp man behind him.
After a short time, they went to the top of the mountain.
"Taoda has always had a friendship with Chen Zhiyuan, and he must have been to Liangzishan, where Chen Zhiyuan lives, and please show us the way." Meng Ping said in a low voice, turning his head to look at Tao Xiaoyao.
"In the cottage, the largest building in general, the most dangerous place is the residence of the big boss." Tao Yao said, "The same is true for Liang Zishan. ”
Meng Ping waved his hand and was ready to lead people forward.
"Wait." Tao Yaoyao suddenly spoke, "Along the way, there must be a sentry, and you still want to kill people?" ”
Meng Ping said very directly: "Yes." And we also have to control these critical places. ”
Tao Yaoyao sneered: "You killed so many disciples in Liang Zishan, and you still want Chen Zhiyuan to join forces with you obediently?" ”
"I only carry out military orders." Meng Ping said.
Tao Yaoyao's eyes narrowed, "That's how you treat your friends?" ”
"Friends?" Meng Ping shook his head, "There are no friends on the battlefield. ”
After that, seeing Tao Yaoyao's discordant complexion, Meng Ping had to say: "Tao Da Master, I hope you understand that this is war!" There is blood, human life, there is no affection, not even morality; Not only will they die, but we may die as well. But all this is for the final victory; Because only victory can allow more people to live. This is war! ”
Tao Yao was stunned.
Meng Ping had already begun to lead the people into action, they broke into the night of Liangzi Mountain, and brought death to them.
But at the same time, they also bring new life to them.
Tao Yao was stunned for a long time, and asked herself, "Is this war?" ”
She glanced up at the crescent moon.
At this moment, she may understand what troubled times are and what war is. The avenue that she has always adhered to in her heart, the great man of chivalry, the dream of serving the country and the people, perhaps at this moment, there are some things that have not been touched before, breaking ground and sprouting.
When the curtain of the previous movement has come to an end, a new prologue is about to begin.
The flower of life may wither, but before it can bloom in its full colour.
…………………………
Li Huan smashed the oil lamp on the desk.
His face turned pale, and he kicked over the desk, holding the knife at his waist like an angry lion, roaring like thunder.
The sergeant in front of him silently bowed his head.
"An hour ago, there were no scouts back to the camp, and none of the scouts you sent out again have returned to the camp until now, have they?" Li Huan strode up to the sergeant, grabbed him by the collar and roared.
"Yes, yes." The sergeant whispered, "But before that, our spies found that the Hundred Battles Army sent out three teams of men at once, and they don't know where to go!" ”
Li Huan threw away the sergeant, gritted his teeth and said, "Li Congjing, it must be Li Congjing!" This straight lady thief really dares to do something to my An Yijun, is he fucking crazy? He's declaring war! ”
The sergeant was submissive and did not dare to say much.
"Go, send a sergeant out of the camp, and find it for me along the road!" Li Huandao, his face was hideous, "If you meet someone from the Hundred Battles Army on the road, you will be killed!" ”
"But, but the commander, our people are already less than the Hundred Battles Army, if we send another number of people out, what if the Hundred Battles Army comes to attack the camp?" The sergeant worried, "They dare to do it to our scouts, but they don't dare to do it to our barracks!" ”
"What did you say?!" Li Huan grabbed the sergeant, "Could it be that I, Li Huan, will be afraid of him Li Congjing?" If he dares to come, I will dare to let him die without a place to be buried and without bones! What a hundred battle army, is a group of miscellaneous army, how is it the opponent of my Anyi army! ”
The sergeant lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Li Huan.
Li Huan put down the sergeant and took a deep breath, "However, if this is Li Congjing's conspiracy, you have to guard against it." They deliberately killed our scouts, and then asked us to send people out to investigate, so that our army could be empty, so that they could attack the camp, which is a good calculation! ”
"Commanding Envoy...... Wise! The sergeant hurriedly said.
Li Huan was young, but shrewd, he paced back and forth to calm himself down, "Although the scouts are gone, we got the news before that reinforcements will arrive tonight. In this way, there is no need to worry too much, as long as the military camp is not lost, as soon as the reinforcements arrive, Li Congjing will definitely die! ”
The sergeant nodded his head.
Li Huan picked up the overturned table, straightened it, sat down in the back again, pondered for a while, and said: "Pass the order, the whole army is on standby, strengthen vigilance, and be ready for Li Congjing to attack the camp at any time." ”
"Yes."
Li Huan sneered and said to himself: "If you Li Congjing dare to come, I might as well let you taste the power of An Yijun!" ”
Li Congjing sat behind the general, holding a copy of "Sima Law", looking like he was not moving.
In the past ten years, he has studied and practiced martial arts, and he is also cultivating himself, he has a long-term vision and far-sighted considerations, so he is extremely strict with himself, even to the point of being harsh. It's normal to have a calm state like this every time there is a big event.
"The commander of the envoy, the scout who contacted Wei Xingming sent back the news that Wei Xingming's son, Wei Ziren, had already left." Zhang Xiaowu entered the account and said to Li Congjing.
"Yes." Li Congjing just nodded indifferently.
Zhang Xiaowu hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't help asking: "Du Commander, what kind of ability does this Wei Xingming scholar have to dare to say that one person retreats from a thousand troops?" ”
Li Congjing put down the book and said with a smile: "To be exact, I don't know what they can do, because Wei Xingming didn't explain it, but just guaranteed that it would be foolproof." ”
With Li Congjing's character, he must make this kind of thing clear to Wei Xing, because it is related to the safety of the whole army. But Wei Xingming must pretend to be forced to the end, and he intends to recruit others, which is really not good to force. Besides, he was already ready for Wei Xingming to be unsuccessful.
Li Congjing saw that Zhang Xiaowu seemed to have something to say, so he took the initiative to speak, "Actually, it was not Wei Xingming who retreated from the thousand army, nor Wei Ziren, who had just set off, but his other son, Wei Dao. This Wei Ziren is said to be just going to pick up Wei Dao and go home. ”
Zhang Xiaowu opened his mouth wide, "This thing is too outrageous!" ”
"Not only outrageous, but also weird!" Mo Li opened the tent and came in, and the white clothes were shengxue, "But one thing, if the logic doesn't make sense, it proves that it has another hidden meaning." ”
"What's the secret?" Zhang Xiaowu asked.
Mo Li stepped aside and sat down, and said, "If it was really Wei Xingming who went to intercept An Yijun, it would be reasonable, but it was not, but Wei Dao, who had never shown up and didn't know where he was before." If you think about it, the Anyi army wants to send reinforcements, but it was only two days ago, but this Weidao is already on the way at this time, maybe it has already met the Anyi army. Don't you think it's weird? ”
"It's weird!" Zhang Xiaowu said.
"What's the strange?" Mo Li asked with a smile.
Zhang Xiaowu thought for a moment and said, "It's as if they knew about it in advance." ”
Mo Li smiled: "Not bad." The biggest oddity is in time. From knowing about this matter to dealing with this matter, it would have taken enough time, but this Wei Dao was not in Junzilin before, and Wei Xingming had to contact him, which would have taken time. But the most important problem, Wei Xingming seems to have no need to contact Wei Dao at all. ”
"So what the hell is going on?" Zhang Xiaowu was completely incomprehensible.
"In fact, according to the scout report, Wei Xingming has not contacted anyone other than Junzilin at all today." Li Congjing said leisurely.
Mo Li's eyes sharpened, and he said: "This can only show that Wei Dao went to intercept the Zhaoyi Army, either there was no such thing at all, or, they had already predicted it in advance!" ”
"How could they have expected it in advance?" Zhang Xiaowu was surprised, "This is simply impossible!" ”
"So, while both scenarios are not easy to accept, it looks like the first case, it seems to be much better than the second."
