[Today's five more free chapters, everyone support a lot, thank you very much! ] 】

The clouds are thick, the cold wind is cold, the mountains and forests are blown by the strong wind, and everything is full of depression and slaughter. Before I knew it, the sky was falling with snowflakes one after another, and it seemed that the snow in the mountains and forests had melted all winter, and not only that, but it would accumulate deeper and deeper.

At such a time, in a cave deep in the mountains and forests, Zhang Rui wrapped the cloak on his body, but he picked up the bowl and drank a sip of spirits very heartily, and suddenly felt that his heart was hot, and his whole body became comfortable.

"Come on, come on, drink," Zhang Rui looked at everyone with a smile on his face.

"General Xie," all the thousands of households sitting here were under him, and all of them were extremely loyal to him, which made Zhang Rui feel a little proud in his heart. It is true that the kid of the Yang family is somewhat capable, and his father's status is also very high, but if he really wants to lead troops to fight, how can he compare with a general like himself? If nothing else, let's just say that this kind of cordial and harmonious relationship between himself and his subordinates is something that kid can't do.

However, it's also helpless, although he has the ability, but he can only be the deputy of that kid, there is no way, the father is the elder of the pavilion, how can he compare with him?

Hey, people are more popular than people, Zhang Rui sighed in his heart, and then looked at the sky outside, and found that the snow was getting tighter and tighter, and the soldiers under his command were huddled in groups of three or five, hiding under the roots of the trees and shivering, this bastard Yang Shen was also annoying, and he sent himself to carry out such a task, causing his soldiers to suffer with him. As soon as Zhang Rui thought of this, his chest was jammed, and the wine couldn't help but drink more violently.

Seeing Zhang Rui's frowning brows and his depressed appearance, one of his thousands of households knew his thoughts, and unconsciously said to Zhang Rui: "General, I didn't say it, this Yang Shen is too wild and deceitful. It's freezing on this day, let's stay in such a ghost place, I really don't know what he is thinking. If we don't fight and we can't withdraw, won't we be able to freeze us to death? ”

"Yes, that Yang Shen is a Zhao Kuo who talks on paper, if you look at the good things he has done, you will know how many of his henchmen are promoted, what Xu Qian, Wei Ying, hey, don't mention it, what is that Xu Qian? also dare to lead the troops, this is good, let people be eaten alive, it really makes people laugh off their big teeth! "A thousand households are also not angry.

"That is, the 30,000-strong army has never dared to attack against thousands of stragglers and brave thieves, and I have really served this Lord Yang. I see, he was frightened by the thief army because of Xu Qian's defeat, where does he dare to confront the thief army now? What is it called? It's called the smell of milk is dry, and he hasn't been weaned yet, so I think he should go back and eat the milk again, and then come back to fight! ”

"Hahaha-you kid, you're going to talk nonsense-"

Everyone laughed at what the thousand households said, but the clouds in their hearts did not recede at all, others don't say it, just say Zhang Rui, he is really a little angry, it's been almost a month, I really don't know what the hell Yang Shen is doing, he actually threw his group of people in the mountains and forests, this is really unbearable. You don't have the courage to deal with the thief army, so just sit in the back and watch, are you still afraid that he will not succeed in a few thieves? You gave us an order to attack, in that case, wouldn't it be easy to take down the thief army, so we might as well suffer less?

However, Zhang Rui is the commander of this army after all, no matter how bad Yang Shen is, he is also his top boss, he is not good at saying anything to him directly, but he does not stop his subordinates from ridiculing Yang Shen.

When the wine was half-drunk, a soldier suddenly came outside to report and asked, only to learn that they had caught a few mountain people who were spying on the camp.

"Don't let them reveal our whereabouts, get out into the ravine, chop up and bury us," Zhang Rui waved to the colonel.

"General, they, they're not here to find out about our whereabouts, they are, they're here to take refuge in us," the colonel couldn't help but report back when he heard this.

"Huh? What do you mean? Zhang Rui asked a little curiously.

"General, those people, the little ones have been carefully interrogated, according to them, now there is no food in the mountains, those thieves and dogs jumped over the wall, and robbed them of the food of these mountain people, and now they are about to starve to death, they have no choice but to escape, want to go out of the mountains to join the official army, but the thieves have taken them all into custody, and they are not allowed to escape, if anyone dares to escape, the thieves will kill them, and the families of these mountain people have died under the knife of the thieves. They all came out of the house with a lifetime of death, and now that they have met our army, they really hope that we can go and destroy the thief army in order to avenge their families," the Colonel replied.

"Oh, is there such a thing?" Zhang Rui nodded and smiled, looked left and right, and said, "In this way, it seems that the thief army has reached the end of the mountain, and this is a good opportunity for us." ”

"General, beware of the thief army's suspicious tactics," a thousand households said to Zhang Rui.

Zhang Rui nodded, he didn't believe the words of those mountain people so quickly, but he also felt that this was an opportunity that could not be missed, otherwise, once this opportunity was lost, if he wanted to make a contribution, it would be a long way to go.

Thinking of this, Zhang Rui nodded and said: "Take care of those mountain people, take care of them, ask them carefully for me, see what the situation of the thief army is now, and in addition, send people to inquire about the situation of the thief army and see if what those mountain people say is right." ”

"Yes, don't worry, the little one will do it," the little colonel took the order.

"Come on, brothers, let's have another drink......"

……

Time passed quickly, and before he knew it, the sky was dark, Zhang Rui was drunk and lying down, and several thousands of households also staggered back to their camps.

Not long after, a small colonel hurried into Zhang Rui's cave under the wind and snow, and knelt on the ground to report: "General, the little one sent someone to find out clearly, those mountain people are right, and now the thief army is really running out of grain and grass, and has begun to rob their own people." The settlements we had visited a few days ago were now empty, a mess of blood, and some severed limbs, and it seemed that the thieves were not only going to rob the grain, but might even drive the mountain people to the mountains to serve as two-legged sheep. General, this is our chance, General! ”

The words of the little colonel, let the drunken Zhang Rui recover a little sane, he was still dreaming of being promoted and making a fortune just now, but he didn't expect that after waking up this time, the opportunity for his promotion and fortune came, and he couldn't help but be full of joy at the moment, and said to the little colonel: "Very good, not bad, you go and notify a few thousand households, and they will prepare for war, wait for us, wait for us to receive another batch of grain and grass, and then go up the mountain to beat his mother." ”

"Yes," the little colonel nodded, and then said to Zhang Rui again: "General, when the little one interrogated those mountain people, I inadvertently got a news, I heard, I heard from them, the thief army seems to have discovered us, so they seem to be trying to rob our grain and grass, general-"

"What?!"

Hearing this, Zhang Rui was immediately startled, he woke up more than half of the wine, and unconsciously sat up, and then said to the little school: "Quick, go and recruit a few thousand households for me, and say that there will be important things to say." ”

"Yes, little one!" The Colonel withdrew.

After a while, there were still some drunken thousands of households, gathered in the cave again, and then they heard that the thief army was going to rob their grain and grass, they couldn't help but be so shocked that they were all drunk, and they couldn't help frowning at the moment and said: "General, grain and grass are the foundation of the march, and there must be no room for loss, we had better act immediately now and send troops to meet the grain and grass, otherwise once the grain and grass fall into the hands of thieves, we will starve to death!" ”

"General, I think this is a good opportunity for us, if we can take the opportunity to surround the thief army and destroy it in one fell swoop, maybe we can win a great success," a thousand households said in a deep voice.

"Well, yes, this is a good idea, don't worry, let Ben think about it," Zhang Rui muttered for a moment as he spoke, but then looked at the little colonel and said, "Are there other mountain people coming to join today?" ”

"General Qiyu, and then some mountain people came to defect one after another, and after the small interrogation, the statements were the same as the previous ones, and there was nothing suspicious," the small colonel replied.

"Okay," Zhang Rui sneered, "It seems that it's right." Come on, pass my order, Hu Qianhu, Gao Qianhu, lead 2,000 soldiers to receive grain and grass, you two pay attention to hiding the team along the way, the thief army does not show up, you must not show up, once the thief army appears, I will call the general, and at the same time quickly send someone to report the news, the general will lead the whole battalion to meet you, hum, this time, we must call these thief army, there is no return! ”

"Yes!" A few thousand households responded to the order and left.

"Hmph, Yang Shen, Yang Shen, let me Zhang Rui teach you how to fight, you are still too tender, learn well!" Watching a few thousand households leave, Zhang Rui quietly looked at the jumping bonfire, and a smug look appeared on his face.

……

At the same time, outside the Sanshan Pavilion, in the big tent of the officials and soldiers, Yang Shen was quietly listening to the return of the meticulous work.

"Is it true that the thief army only has enough food and grass for a few days?" Yang Shen looked at the man and asked.

"Don't worry, the little ones have carefully investigated, and there is absolutely no room for error," the man said with his fist.

"Okay," Yang Shen was relieved, the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally come.

"Summoning the order, tomorrow the grain and grass officer will escort two thousand loads of grain into the mountain and send it to Wei Ying's camp, and in addition, you will go and pass the word to Wei Ying now, so that he can do this-" After Yang Shen finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing, and then summoned the generals to discuss until midnight, and after making sure that everything was not flawed, he went to sleep with confidence.

At this time, in the deep mountains and dense forests behind the Three Mountains Pavilion, there was a team of 2,000 people, who were hesitating in the night, braving the heavy snow.
