Li Yongzhong smiled at Guan Lao'er, who was pale, with a strange face, he took off the eight-petal hat and helmet from his head and held it in his hand, and asked seemingly unintentionally: "Which position is your general?" Even if I have a thousand households, I don't dare to be called a general! But you take one bite at a time, what kind of sincerity is this? It's the barbarian who has a secret discussion with any of your generals, but whatever it is, I only stab it with one shot! No matter how much intrigue there is, what can be done if a person dies? ”

Guan Lao Er swallowed his saliva, and his eyes swept over the faces of the three officers - Li Yongzhong didn't need to say anything first, even the officer surnamed Zheng also had a lot of approving looks on his face! And the other one is even more undisguised with murderous intent! Guan Lao Er's legs were weak, and he collapsed on the ground at once, but he was still nervous and muttered, "You can't kill me...... You can't kill me...... If you kill me, don't know the general's secrets......"

"I think this guy is really useful. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zheng Guocai whispered to Li Yongzhong: "Let's not talk about the generals he has been talking about, but look at the blank look on the faces of those people when he said the secret discussion, you can know that he is really the only one who knows." If we don't know, it's okay, but now that we have such an opportunity, we will kill him again......" He made a gesture, and Li Yongzhong understood what he meant: A piece of military merit, it is really unwilling to let it go.

He thought for a moment, and then asked Feng Baoqun, this veteran team officer only said that he wanted to think about it in the long run, but looking at his expression, he also agreed with Zheng Guocai a little.

"Someone! Escort the others down, so that they can be guarded! Is this the second ......" Li Yongzhong turned to Liu Xiaoqi and raised his chin towards him: "Xiaoqi, he will be handed over to you, you must keep a close watch, and there must be no mistakes!" When the order was finished, the soldiers took the men away one by one, despite the pleas and scolding of the captives. The two team officers also stood up and took their leave. Zheng Guocai smiled and complimented Li Yongzhong: "In today's battle, Team Li's contribution is not small!" We really have a lot of things to do with the Toridin team, and when we return to the camp, it is necessary for our Lao Zheng to invite Team Officer Li to drink! ”

Feng Baoqun also sighed: "Thousands of households are really blessed! has such a son-in-law as Team Officer Li, but he is stronger than many sons and nephews! ”

The two brothers laughed. Li Yongzhong smiled modestly and promised: "When we go back to the camp, even if my brother doesn't come to look for my younger brother, my younger brother will definitely go to my brothers for a drink!" ”

After thinking about what Guan Lao Er said before, Li Yongzhong felt that he might have vaguely guessed a little: Guan Lao Er's matter may have nothing to do with last year's attack. A hint of darkness flashed in his eyes, and if he had just been pretending before, he was now really thinking a little murderous - no matter what the plan was, there was no need to say it in the face of absolute strength.

Because several team officers decided not to stay in Aluomi after discussion, and immediately turned back, the Ming army quickly packed up the camp, and the men hurried to catch some dry food out, and filled the gourd filled with water one by one, and so on soon in the afternoon, the Ming army took the captives to embark on the return journey, different from when they came, the soldiers on the way back were much more angry, and the hot sun above their heads seemed to be a little gentle.

Guan Lao Er and several other captives were tied hand and foot in a string, sandwiched between the D team, and staggered forward. His throat ached like a fire because of the lack of water, he licked his lips, and he whispered to a soldier walking beside him: "Master, enjoy the saliva and drink, otherwise I will not be able to do it." Li Zhongguan'er still pointed to me to promote him and make a fortune, how could he not let me die! ”

The soldier looked at him twice, handed the spear into the hands of his companion, and without speaking, he neatly took a gourd from his belt, and poured two mouthfuls directly into Guan Laoer, and then took the gourd back. He only warned him: "If you are thirsty and hungry, just talk to me, but if you have a ghost idea, the sentinel said, if there is any change, we can directly kill people!" ”

Guan Lao Er was full of anger, and his whole body trembled when he heard this. He didn't have the hardness he had earlier, he was full of wishes and wanted to live, and now he was afraid of provoking Li Yongzhong's killing god and losing his life. Therefore, he reluctantly put up a smile, and said with a sneer: "What did this military master say?" Where shall I run in this wilderness? If a single person runs out, it will be a death! Why don't you follow you honestly, maybe there is still a glimmer of life? ”

"You're right." Before the soldier could speak, he heard a cold voice behind him, both of them were taken aback, Liu Xiaoqi had already strode in front of them, and first frowned and scolded the unlucky little soldier: "What did you say before?" If they ask for water and food, and give it, you are not allowed to speak to them. Now on the march, it's not cheap, wait until you go back to the camp, and you will find yourself in the team to join the army and receive the punishment! ”

The soldier, with a look of shame on his face, answered in a low voice, then bowed down and clenched his fists, and hid behind. Only then did Liu Xiaoqi turn around and look Guan Lao Er up and down with slanted eyes, and sneered: "I haven't seen you for more than a year, but you have a lot of sharp mouths." I'm an honest boy under my hands, and I'm going to be punished for your sake, and if you still have a conscience, shut your mouth! There is still a long way to go, so leave some strength to walk! ”

"Your official authority is really not small now." Guan Lao Er snorted, and in front of Liu Xiaoqi, he put down a few points, very energetic, and said in a hurry: "However, it's okay for you to deceive those fools, in front of me, what are you pretending?" Back then, I was poor and mixed with livestock sheds, picking up soybeans on the ground to eat, and grabbing the oil residue in leftovers to eat, how can I forget it now? ”

"Of course, I haven't forgotten that." Liu Xiaoqi nodded, and while walking, he calmly said to Guan Er: "I didn't steal it, I didn't rob it, but I'm poor, what can't I see people?" It's better than you and the barbarians mixing together, if you and I go underground in the future, I can see my ancestors, but I don't know if you dare to talk to your ancestors? ”

Guan Laoer's face turned red, Liu Xiaoqi did talk about his sore spots, but now he is no longer the timid and cowardly little handyman back then, but the momentary embarrassment and embarrassment were left behind by him, but he smiled and said: "I heard a saying before, the eldest husband was born in the world, and he can't eat Jiuding, so he should cook Jiuding!" I don't know a few big words, but I still know how to win or lose! Now it's just that I've lost, and he, Li Yongzhong, has won! However, he can win me, but he can't win the people behind me! ”

"The man behind you?" Liu Xiaoqi glanced at him and sneered: "It's just a shrunken turtle that doesn't dare to show up, what's there to be afraid of?" ”

"Hmph, this time King Liang raised 100,000 troops, and he was going to kill Chishui, how many officers and soldiers are there?" Guan Laoer's face smiled distorted, the light in his bruised eyes flickered, and with an unusually cheerful tone, he said with a strange expression: "I heard that Guiyang was besieged in the year of the Apocalypse, and the city was eaten up, so I don't know how many days the officials and soldiers are enough to eat?" ”

Liu Xiaoqi's forehead was full of green tendons! He clenched his fists hard, stared at Guan Lao Er, and said in a low voice, word by word: "If I were you, I would be honest at this time." Don't think that Zhong Guan'er is good, it's just that it's inconvenient to take care of you now. Do you believe it or not, if I make a few words of advice to Zhong Guan'er, you will ask for life or death later? ”

After he finished speaking, he didn't look at him again, turned his head to explain a few words to the soldiers, stepped heavily, and walked away without looking back.

Cao Jinliang was discussing things with Li Yongzhong, and occasionally looked up and saw Liu Xiaoqi frowning, as if something unbearable had happened, and his face was extremely bad. He frowned, and shouted loudly: "Liu Xiaoqi, are you walking the road to the sky?" You haven't seen me and your team officer, two big people? Don't even say hello? ”

Liu Xiaoqi turned around at this time, and saw the team officer and the adjutant staring at him with four eyes, and the chaotic thoughts in his mind were suddenly left behind...... I just thought about things, I thought too deeply, I didn't see the team officer and the adjutant, please forgive me! ”

Li Yongzhong smiled, raised his hand to let Liu Xiaoqi stand up, and spoke to him gently: "Your adjutant Cao likes to joke, he is worried about you, Xiaoqi, your face is really rare." What's the matter? ”

"Guan Lao Er is too difficult." Liu Xiaoqi complained bluntly: "Team officer, what should we leave him to do?" I did not believe, and he alone knew what was going on. That's not the way to do things! What can't Miki get but him? Leave him behind, but it's a scourge! ”

Li Yongzhong and Cao Jinliang glanced at each other in surprise, Cao Jinliang slapped Liu Xiaoqi on the shoulder, and grinned happily: "Good boy!" I originally thought that you kid had always been soft-hearted, and he was your old acquaintance, and the team officer and I thought you were going to intercede for him, but I didn't think that it was the experience that came out! Very good! He is worthy of being the person favored by the team officer! By the way, he slapped Li Yongzhong's ass.

The young officer of Team D laughed and said, "Jin Liang, you are so boastful, it's really unbearable!" With a joke, he turned to Liu Xiaoqi, there was no expression on his face, and he only said slowly: "Guan Lao Er seems to be cunning, but he is actually stupid, the more he thinks he has no fear, the more arrogant he is, and then he is cleaned up, the more unbearable he is." Ascending and falling heavily, he probably didn't know this truth. It doesn't matter, and let him be proud for a few days, and return to the camp left and right, originally to send Guan Lao Er to the military gate. He is such a hot potato, but I don't want to touch it. ”

"Actually, I guess most of the generals he mentioned were bandits colluded by Li Yongbo last year. It's just that I don't know what the road is over there, and the general...... When asked Liu Sankui at that time, he also deduced that he didn't understand......" Li Yongzhong said thoughtfully: "Now it seems that his speech at that time was completely nonsense. ”

"I'm afraid it's not any ordinary mountain bandit." Cao Jinliang also agreed with Li Yongzhong's view, and he snorted from his nose: "What kind of bandits will collude with barbarians? Not to mention one in Guizhou and one in eastern Sichuan! There are hundreds of miles apart, if there is no one to pull the strings, which one will An Bangyan recognize? Then how does Guan Lao Er know where the barbarian's door opens!? ”

The three of them talked as they walked, and the soldiers around them consciously retreated, leaving them a place to speak. Li Yongzhong took off the gourd on his belt and took a sip, took a breath, and said leisurely with a somewhat unpredictable smile: "Now that the war is imminent, it is said that the two thieves of Lu'an are rushing towards Chishui with an army of 100,000 troops, let's go all the way, and Xu Junmen all the way to the two roads combined, it is also 780,000 soldiers and horses, more than 100,000 horses on both sides, this is a rare battle in the southwest!" If Hou Junmen knew that someone wanted to make a disturbance at this time, do you guess he would have skinned that person? ”

Compared with when they came, the Ming army was extremely fast on the way back, and when it was about to set up camp at night, it was about to walk to the post road. After eating the dry food used as dinner, Feng Baoqun came to look for Li Yongzhong before going to bed, talked to him about Zhou Qian's situation, and then changed the conversation to talk about tomorrow's march.

"I reckon we'll be able to join the army tomorrow evening. Team Officer Zheng's meaning is that we will send a team of people on the road first tomorrow morning to report the news, and we will escort the prisoners to walk slowly. Go fast today, and now there are a few barbarians who can't get up. Although it is said that if we die, we will cut off our heads and get the first rank, which is also a military feat, but it is not beautiful after all. ”

Li Yongzhong nodded and said, "Team Officer Feng is very true of what he said. It's better to let my team come out tomorrow, they have always been fast-footed, and they will leave early tomorrow morning, and I am afraid that they will meet the army at noon. ”

After getting Li Yongzhong's permission, Feng Baoqun greeted him with a few words, and was about to leave, he muttered for a while, but after all, he didn't hold back, and still asked: "Then the second ...... What does Officer Lee plan to do? ”

"Guan Er?" Li Yongzhong said quietly, "Since it is an important military situation, how dare we deal with it privately?" It must be brought back to the military gate, and it will be disposed of by the military gate. After all, listening to his tone, there are some important things, but he doesn't open his mouth, let's hurry up, except to watch tightly, we can't do anything else, it's very rare. ”

Feng Baoqun smiled, thinking that he knew what Li Yongzhong was embarrassed about, he lowered his voice and whispered to Li Yongzhong: "This military situation is all something to worry about, we are just soldiers who work hard at the bottom, and Team Officer Li is too sincere." This man has a vicious mind, if he is brought to the front of the army and shouts something else, it will not be much trouble at that time? It's better to cook him well now, this is one more thing, after all, it is better to have one less thing. ”

Li Yongzhong didn't say good, nor did he say bad, he just smiled and pulled the topic away. Feng Baoqun thought that he had listened to his suggestion in his heart, and immediately said goodbye and left. Li Yongzhong watched Feng Baoqun's figure gradually disappear, and sighed inexplicably in his heart, a grassroots officer, just to be a good person in front of his colleagues, ignores the clues of the military situation, he is really confused!

"Those who have a sense of merit and fame must beware of attacking their own people behind their backs, and those who do not have a sense of merit and fame are most likely a fool! It is worthy of the end of the Ming Dynasty when the world was overturned! It's really a luxury to meet a few normal people! (To be continued.) )
