Text Chapter 177: Before the Assassination Operation
At the crossing of the Yellow River, the turbulent Yellow River water rushed down, rolled up layers of torrential waves, slapped between the two banks, the sound of slapping passed through the transmission of the wind, into the ears, like a beast roaring and roaring, intimidating.
Hundreds of brand-new bamboo rafts were tied to the strangely shaped boulders on the edge of the ferry, and in the rushing river, with the waves of the river, as if they could be overturned at any moment.
Tens of thousands of war horses were neighing on the periphery of the ferry, and inside the area surrounded by war horses, groups of grassland warriors with their upper bodies naked formed a circle of hundreds or thousands of people, shouting loudly, and the scene was extremely lively.
"Tsk. It's not for nothing that these barbarians will be so brave, even having fun is in wrestling, you see those people who are wrestling, those arms are really thick enough, although I don't want to admit it, but their physical fitness is not bad! A few miles away from the ferry, Dian Wei held a cylinder in his hand and put it on his eyes, stretched out his hand to poke Zhang Yan beside him, and said very emotionally.
"Where is so much nonsense, have you read it? After reading it, he hurriedly returned the "clairvoyance" to me, which was specially made by Xu Lu by the lord and used by us for the shadow guard. If you damage this treasure, I'm not done with you. Ignoring Dian Wei's emotion, Zhang Yan's eyes kept staring at the cylinder in Dian Wei's hand, and said very nervously.
The clairvoyance in Zhang Yan's mouth, the cylinder that Dian Wei was holding in his hand, was actually the telescope that Sun Ling asked Xu Lu to find out made of glass. Because the craftsmen did not understand the principle, it was not easy to produce suitable glass, and after four months, Xu Lu made four cylinder telescopes. Considering the nature of the work of the Shadow Secret Guard, coupled with the light cavalry of the barbarian army this time, Sun Ling asked Xu Lu to send a handful to Zhang Yan.
"Look at your urgency, give it back to you! Lao Dian, I know that there are three more on Xu Lu's side, and after I go back, I will go to him to ask for one, do he dare not give it? When there are more of them in the future, maybe the captains of the entire sword battalion will have this kind of equipment! When Zhang Yan said this, Dian Wei took down the telescope in his hand and handed it back to Zhang Yan beside him, muttering in a disdainful tone.
That's right, but as long as you know a little bit about Dian Wei's temper, you can hear a hint of envy from his words.
"Hehe, that's hard to say! The Tyrant Battalion normally fights on the plains, and the intelligence work is all done by our shadow guards. Even if there are too many of them, I guess the Lord will give priority to our shadow guards! Hearing the cattiness in Dian Wei's tone, Zhang Yan was proud in his heart, and stimulated him again.
Hearing this, Dian Wei, who was stimulated by Zhang Yan, wanted to abuse him here, pulled up his sleeves, and was about to rush towards him, muttering in his mouth: "Good you Zhang Sihan!" The old canon has to be today... ”
Seeing that Dian Wei was about to make a move, Zhang Yan was not to be outdone, and the baby put the binoculars into his arms, unfolded his posture, and prepared to face him.
"What do you have to do?! I asked you to come and find out, what are you all doing? Just as the two were about to fight each other in the field, Sun Ling's shouting and questioning came from behind the two.
Seeing the posture of the two, in fact, Sun Ling already knew the bottom of his heart. But he was a little helpless about this, Dian Wei and Zhang Yan, because they used to fight together a lot, so they are now addicted, and if they don't agree, they will do it.
If it weren't for the fact that I had waited for a long time and felt a little impatient, so I came here to see the situation, maybe the two goods would have been in full swing.
Hearing this shout, Dian Wei and Zhang Yan, who were about to fight, shuddered together, put away their fists that were ready to attack, straightened their bodies, and with a stiff smile, they slowly turned their heads and looked at Sun Ling behind them, with a smile in their eyes.
They were all things that he knew, and Sun Ling had already known them in his heart, so he didn't blame them, and he didn't pay attention to the embarrassment of the two. stepped forward, stretched out his hand from Zhang Yan's arms, took out the binoculars, and looked at the situation of the Yellow River crossing by himself.
"It's all you, who made you scared, now are you okay? I was caught by the lord! Cautiously looking at Sun Ling, who was observing the situation of the ferry, Dian Wei pushed Zhang Yan on his shoulder, and said in a low voice, his words full of complaints.
"Can I be blamed for this? If it weren't for the fact that you were going to do it if you didn't agree with each other, would the lord be able to see this situation? Regarding Dian Wei's complaints, Zhang Yan said very unconvinced.
"That's it! A slap doesn't make a sound, what is your situation, don't I still know? Usually I don't care if you are making trouble, because it can enhance each other's feelings, which is a good thing! But in wartime, you also have to give me some restraint, if you let the soldiers under your tent see it, like words?
Forget it this time, next time this situation happens, the small black houses that are locked up for five days will be closed! With Sun Ling's current ear power, how could he not hear the whispers of the two behind him? After seeing the situation of the ferry, Sun Ling turned to look at the two of them, frowned, and said very dissatisfied.
"Yes, my lord!" Seeing that Sun Ling seemed to be really angry, Dian Wei and Zhang Yan replied in unison. Then he kept his mouth shut, fearing that if he uttered another word, he would be locked up in a small dark room.
Seeing that the two of them were bluffed by themselves and no longer arguing, Sun Ling then spoke: "According to the news from Yingba's side, the barbarian army has abandoned the route arranged by Cao Ying and turned to Ningyang County. I think that the Yanzhou coalition army should not miss this opportunity, we have to quickly cut off the retreat of the ferry, and then go over to cooperate with the Yanzhou coalition army to encircle and suppress! ”
"So what are you waiting for? As long as the lord transfers 10,000 sword battalions to Lao Dian, Lao Dian guarantees that he can exterminate those barbarians at the ferry! As soon as he heard that he was going to be killed, Dian Wei was no longer silent, and hurriedly asked for battle.
Hearing this, Sun Ling rubbed his forehead helplessly. When it comes to killing the enemy in battle, Dian Wei is definitely one of the best generals, but he doesn't use his brain every time.
"Those barbarians are all light horses, won't they run away after you make such a big noise?" In desperation, Sun Ling could only look at him and explain patiently.
"Uh... So what to do? Hearing Sun Ling's explanation and knowing that things could not be done, Dian Wei asked again.
"I don't know what you're using this brain for! Now we must not pass with great fanfare, otherwise if they are allowed to escape, that person will run away, and maybe it will hurt the people of Yanzhou. All we have to do now is wait for it to get dark!
As long as it gets dark, I will divide the Tyrant Battalion into three parts and quietly outflank them from three positions. The black lights are blind, and those barbarians are not familiar with the surrounding terrain, where can they run? First scolded Dian Wei angrily, and then Sun Ling said his thoughts to the two of them.
"My lord! Now that the Tyrant Battalion has all attacked, what about our shadow guards? Can you also do something for the master? Seeing that the Badao Battalion had something to do, Zhang Yan thought of the twenty or so good men under him, and asked unwillingly.
"Don't worry! How could I have forgotten that you are such a good helper? Although the Badao Battalion can achieve frontal encirclement and suppression, it is inevitable that an accident will occur and be discovered by them, which requires the disposal of those barbarian spies around the ferry, and this matter is most suitable for you shadow guards! Knowing Zhang Yan's thoughts, Sun Ling smiled lightly and comforted.
First, he asked Zhang Yan to take the shadow guard to investigate the situation of the barbarian spies and prepare for the night's action, and then Sun Ling took Dian Wei back to the army of the Badao Battalion and began the pre-action arrangement. After all, the Badao battalion is all heavy horses, even if it is leading the war horse and wanting to approach the barbarians of the ferry silently, it is not so simple, you have to order it in advance, let the soldiers wrap the horses' hooves, so as not to make too much noise.
*******************
In Yang Zhai City, a private house close to Sun Ling's mansion, more than a dozen people dressed in black, with their faces covered, only revealing a pair of cold eyes, stood in the courtyard, quietly looking at the back in front of them with their backs to them, the same dress as them, but slightly thin.
"You are all the elites of the organization, and you have been lurking in Yangzhai City for a long time, and this time you are all dispatched, which shows that you attach great importance to this matter. Target: Sun Ling's wife, young son, including those concubines, not a single one will be left! Under the gaze of the dozen or so black-clothed people, the thin figure turned around, looked at them with wooden eyes, and said hoarsely.
"At noon today, Zhao Yun, the general under Sun Ling's tent, suddenly returned to Yangzhai City, and the vigilance of the Sun Mansion has become stricter than before, and all signs indicate that what we are going to do is very likely to have been exposed!" As soon as the thin man in black finished speaking, a man in black walked out of a dozen people and said with some fluctuations.
Hearing this, the thin man in black's wooden eyes suddenly became fierce and cold, and said hoarsely: "In the past ten years, you have been in Yangzhai City, and the organization has not let you perform any more dangerous tasks, is this kind of life too comfortable!" So you forgot the rules of the organization? If you forget, then let me help you remember, number one: never doubt the organization! ”
"But..." When the man in black heard this, he wanted to open his eyes.
"Humph!" Before the man in black finished speaking, the thin man in black snorted coldly, and the figure suddenly disappeared in place, and in the blink of an eye, he reappeared in that place, as if what appeared just now was just an illusion, and he never left at all.
However, the next scene made it clear that he had indeed left, and in the blink of an eye, he had taken a human life.
"Poof!" The man in black who wanted to distinguish just now first had a red line on his neck, and then slowly spread, and blood spurted out of his neck like a spring.
Seeing this scene, the thin man in black, his eyes regained his ambience, looked at the corpse that was lying in a pool of blood, and still looked incredible until death, let the blood on his fingers continue to drip down, and said hoarsely again: "You must firmly remember that the organization will not allow you to have the slightest suspicion!" ”
Observing the movement in the crowd, seeing that none of the black-clothed people below had the slightest reaction, the thin black-clothed man spoke again: "Zhao Yun's existence is not to be feared, there is also a good old lady in the Sun Mansion, she and Zhao Yun will be handed over to me to deal with, as for the others, I believe you are naturally capable of dealing with it." Remember, leave no one behind! Once you understand, let's get started. ”
After saying this, more than a dozen people in black only felt a breeze blowing, and looked up again, and the thin figure was already gone.
