Chapter 65: Miao Jun (II)

A guy who slaughtered his own people without mercy is not worth trusting.

The veteran Ada has never read the Four Books and the Five Classics, nor has he learned anything about the principles of heaven and earth. But years of fighting wolves, tigers and leopards in the mountains have given him another kind of wisdom.

It is more direct than any book, and it is easier to understand than the words of any saint.

Wolves in packs, jackals in teams, and even the stupidest wild boars and bears will walk in pairs. In the face of the power of heaven and earth, it is difficult for any lone wanderer to survive for a long time. The same is true for the mountain people's villages, unity and loyalty, which are the foundation of survival and continuity. If there is an anti-bone boy in a village and a hole, the entire village will soon face the fate of destruction, and the village that takes in the anti-bone boy will be punished by heaven sooner or later. Because since that anti-bone boy can betray his own people without hesitation, when he betrays the person who is not the clan's take-in, he will also not hesitate!

In the next instant, more than a dozen mountain people around Brother Meng Dan all fell into silence. No one refuted the words of the veteran Ada, and everyone either looked at each other, or lowered their heads and played with the broken bones on their waists, and no one wanted to say anything, nor dared to think about when they would be able to go home, this obviously unanswered question.

"The heart surnamed Zhang has long been rotten. Have you seen the look in his eyes? Not at all popular! I've lived so many years and I've never seen such cold eyes! Not a trace of popularity, not a trace of it! After another moment, the veteran Ada threw a piece of wood at the fire in front of him, and quietly replenished it.

The red star suddenly rose to a high level, and the thick smoke swept the smell of blood in the mountains, burrowing into people's eyes, and smoking everyone with snot and tears. However, no one by the fire complained about the rude actions of the veteran Ada, and no one stood up to refute the words of the veteran Ada. Because what he said was all the truth.

The surname Zhang didn't treat his fellow people as people, so would he treat everyone as people? The answer is obvious, and everyone knows it in their hearts.

The mountain people did not have their own written language, but they passed on their civilization through a whole set of methods. And in those ballads that have been handed down, all of them state an iron law.

He gave the wolf king the idea to hunt the wild deer, not because he was loyal to the wolf king, but because he was born without front legs. And once the wolf king gets old, his embarrassed teeth will bite his veins from behind. Then they bounce and cling to the new wolf king, even if it is a scourge to the whole of the previous race (note) "Oh-woo! "Between the mountains, there is a wolf howling, deep and long, like summoning a dead hero.

Next to the fire, the hussar general, Zuo Cheng of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, the Xuanhui envoy of western Zhejiang, and Yang Wanzhi, the barbarian Tusi of Feishan, stood up suddenly, and looked into the distance.

The moonlight was bright, but not enough to illuminate the rocks and trees three miles away. In the shadows, there seemed to be a lot of beasts sneaking around. At any moment, he could lean into his side and suddenly show his cold teeth.

"Big brother, what's wrong?" Yang Wanzhi's two younger brothers, Yang Tongtai and Yang Zhizhi, also stood up vigilantly, pressed the handle of the knife on their waists, and asked in a low voice.

"No, there shouldn't be anyone!" Yang Wanzhi's gaze swept around, and he shook his head slightly, "Maybe it's because I've been too tired lately, and I always feel like I'm being secretly stared at by a fierce beast." But over there"

As he spoke, he raised his right hand and pointed to the dark place in the distance with a wry smile, "I remember that there is a cliff over there, and no one can climb it except for monkeys!" ”

"That's right!" Yang Tongtai and Yang Zhizhi shook their heads and laughed, and their right hand pressed on the hilt of the knife slowly relaxed, "Zhu Butcher fights with cannons. Hundreds of pounds of things, how could he carry them from the cliff! ”

"Xu Da uses soldiers, and he has never liked to take risks. If you really want to fight with us, whether it is to the east of Xin'an Water or Quzhou, it is better than directly crossing Baiqiling! ”

"That's what I think!" Yang Wanzhi heard this, smiled and nodded slightly. "Fighting in the mountains, our brothers are really not afraid of anyone. But be careful to make the ship of ten thousand years"

Suddenly, his voice changed sharply, he waved his arm, and made a resolute decision, "Shorty, you take five hundred brothers and go to the Sky Cliff to take a look." I always feel like something isn't quite right in that place tonight! ”

"Got it!" The young cave master of the three caves under the old man's peak in Xiangnan, the deputy of the Miao army, Zhong Dwarf, jumped up from the fire like a pig urine bubble that had only blown enough air, and responded loudly.

He is one of Yang Wanzhi's most admired fierce generals, and he is very reliable in terms of loyalty and ability to do things. After receiving the order, he drew a circle around a few fires, gathered five hundred clansmen who were good at climbing, and led them to fly towards the target.

Yang Wanzhi watched the brothers leave, and then turned his face to a sixty-year-old man who was sitting at his feet and pretended to sleep, and asked in a somewhat tentative tone, "Bi Gong, are you really sure to deal a fatal blow to Zhu Butcher?" That guy is not Monk Peng, and since his debut, he doesn't seem to have lost! ”

Bi Gong is his honorific title for Zhang Yu and Zhang Guangbi. Having received a complete education in Sinology, he understood the importance of strategists. And the facts have also proved that the old Confucian Zhang Yu deserves his respect. In the Battle of Wuchang three years ago, thanks to this old dedication, the Miao army was able to lure the Tianwan Red Scarf, which far outnumbered them, into the woodland, and then burned them with fire.

Although Zhang Yu was ruthless to the captured red turban soldiers later, even Yang Wanzhi, the young Tusi who flew over the mountain, felt a little cruel. But thinking about the huge identity gap between this person and the red scarf thief, Yang Wanzhi was relieved.

A scholar like Zhang Yu, who is a wealthy family and once went to the capital to visit the emperor, must be at least a big village owner in the mountains of southern Hunan. And what is the Red Turban Thief? It's just a slave doing rough work in the owner's house! The slaves refused to work in the barn, but robbed the master's house and ate up the master's food. After the master leads the troops to capture them, can he treat them well? Zhang Yu mentioned to himself that he buried them alive, obviously showing great mercy, if he changed his treatment of the fugitive slaves in the cottage, tied to the bamboo and let the mosquitoes stare to death!

After eliminating the knots in his heart, Yang Wanzhi trusted Zhang Yu more and more. reciprocated the favor, and Zhang Yu did his best more and more when planning for Yang Wanzhi. not only helped him deal with the Red Turban Army, but also helped him find a way to bargain with the imperial court to defraud a higher official position and more support. It can be said that Yang Wanzhi was able to stand out from many Miao army generals, and after his father and uncle were defeated and died, his status still soared, and Zhang Yu contributed a lot to it. Therefore, as time went by, Yang Wanzhi relied more and more on Zhang Yu, not only by his own name, but also by the name of the latter.

Today, when he felt uneasy again, he naturally remembered "Bi Gong" again. And the latter reacted quickly enough, suddenly opened his eyes, and responded loudly, "That's because he didn't meet you before!" "General, don't forget, since your debut, you have also fought every battle!"

When the words fell, the tension in Yang Wanzhi's heart immediately relaxed a lot. smiled and said very humbly: "That's because the brothers are willing to work hard, and you don't think Yang is stupid!" ”

"The general is too modest!" The old man Zhang Yu was praised and smiled, his gray beard and wrinkles on his face were squeezed together, like a wild cat begging for food, "After the general is a famous general, God bestows talents, and he is willing to be a corporal, and he treats people with his heart." If the general does not win a hundred battles, who can win a hundred battles? It's Zhang, who luckily became famous with General Lai! ”

"Gong Bi, you are always deliberately coaxing me to be happy again!" Yang Wanzhi was embarrassed and boastful, but he forced an angry expression and scolded, "If you steal chickens this time, you won't be able to reverse the rice." I see how you end up?! ”

"Impossible! The old man can gamble on the head! "The old man Zhang Yu has great confidence in the mastermind and himself. Immediately shook his head and said loudly: "The art of war, fifty miles and fighting for profit, then the general." The Zhu butcher was anxious to eliminate his internal worries, and he did not hesitate to wave his army thousands of miles to plunder Quanzhou. If its soldiers and horses do not move, they will already be defeated and invincible. ”

"Second!" Without waiting for Yang Wanzhi to question, he quickly added. Pointing to the country, it is full of bamboo. It's a pity that his body is too bad, and when he speaks, he obviously leaks his breath, and it sounds like the effect is discounted by at least half, "Zhu Thief is a big trouble for the imperial court, and in the past, he relied on the danger of the river and the benefit of firearms to defend Huaiyang. The court didn't have a good way to deal with him. And this time, the soldiers and horses under his command poured out, and as long as the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were not blind, they would definitely seize the opportunity. Even if he can't grasp it, in order to ensure that the nest is not lost, the Zhu thief can only choose to fight quickly. ”

"Three!" Suddenly stretched out three fingers, the old man Zhang Yu continued to strategize, at this moment, as if Wang Meng possessed the body, Zhang Yuan was reborn, "Zhu thief used soldiers in the past, all with sharp firearms. The biggest flaw of firearms is that they are consumed too quickly and have strict requirements for supply. Therefore, Zhang Moucai gave advice to the lord, let go of Jiande, and temporarily avoid Zhu Thief Fengying. As long as the Huai'an thieves pass by in a hurry, the lord can go straight behind them and cut off his way to transport the baggage. At that time, the lord and Shi Yi will wipe the sun in the north and the south, and they will definitely let the Zhu butcher die without a place to be buried! [Note 2] The more he spoke, the smoother his thoughts became, and the more he spoke, the more excited his tone became. His face was slightly red, and his goatee fluttered on his chest, as if his eyes had traveled through time and space, and he had seen the moment when Zhu Chongjiu gave the first sword.

Yang Wanzhi, Yang Tongtai, Yang Xu, and other Miao army generals around him, such as Li Caifu, Xiao Yu, Jiang Ying, Liu Zhen, Li Fu, etc., listened to him and were infected unconsciously. I couldn't help but raise my hands and stroke my palms in admiration, "Good! Great goodness. If it is really as Bi Gong said, the lord will directly swing into Yangzhou. Rob them of their money, rob their women, burn down their houses, and then let the court crown you the king of Yangzhou, and our brothers will live a few days of comfort! ”

"Robbed them of their money, robbed of their women, burned down their houses"

"Robbed them of their money, robbed of their women, burned down their houses"

"Robbing them of their money"

The cronies around didn't know what was going on, and instinctively tore open their throats and echoed.

"Ahh

Who said that mountain people deserve to live in the mountains forever? If you haven't seen the prosperity of the plains, after seeing it, except for those straight-hearted big-headed soldiers, which upper-class people would be willing to go back to the mountains to live that kind of closed and boring days?

And the Mengyuan Imperial Court was just like the mountain people, starting from a few villages. But in the end, it was able to take over the flowers.

There is a saying among the Han people that feng shui takes turns.

The Mongols' feng shui is over.

Next round

"Ahh

"Ahh

"Ahh

Between the mountains, the echoes ripple. Like the evil spirits of hell, they all came out, singing and dancing to the full moon in the sky!

Note 1: A legendary creature that resembles a wolf but has short front legs. It needs to be carried forward by the wolf. But the cunning of the fox is better than that of the fox, and it can help the wolf king command the wolves and better cull the prey. Therefore, after the wolf pack is embarrassed, it can grow rapidly.

Note 2: Wang Meng is the prime minister of the former Qin Fujian. Zhang Yuan was the minister of state in Western Xia. Both of them were under the tent of the invaders and made great achievements.
