Chapter Eighty-Three: Preparations for the Arrival of the Island
Song Kai looked at Zhou Ce and said, "The Taihu Gang must be eliminated as soon as possible, but Brother Zhou, you also said that the stubborn strength of the Taihu Gang is only a hundred, and if you can land on the island, you only need fifty dead soldiers." ”
"If you land on the island and fight on the ground, thirty people are enough," Zhou Ce showed a bit of domineering.
Song Kai nodded, "If you want to break through the blockade around the island, one is from the waterway, Brother Zhou, your subordinates are not good at water warfare, but as long as you borrow hundreds of water divisions, you will definitely be fine." ”
Wang Lingzhi heard Song Kai think for a moment, and actually came up with this method, he felt a little disdainful in his heart, and then thought about it, this may be the best method.
Zhou Ce shook his head, "Brother Song, what you think is too simple, the navy is all in the hands of Yang Jian, if you want to borrow the navy, don't mention whether Yang Jian will agree, even if everything goes well, when the navy arrives, it will take at least twenty days." What's more, Yang Jian is extremely suspicious, he will not easily agree to borrow troops, and more likely, he will also agree to the Taihu Gang's request for peace talks. ”
Song Kai seemed to expect Zhou Ce to say this, but he just said "um" and said, "Then there is only the second way." ”
"And?" Zhou Ce looked at Song Kai with some expectation.
"Well, since the waterway can't go, then you have to go in the air," Song Kai said very seriously.
"In the air? Fly? Nie Ling and Feng Huo asked at the same time.
Song Kai nodded.
Zhou Ce frowned, "Brother Song, don't be joking, how can anyone have such light skills to fly from the boat to the island?" ”
"It's not by light work, it's by heat, uh. Have you heard of Kong Ming lanterns? Song Kai asked, thinking in his heart. This Kong Ming lantern should have appeared at this time, after all, this thing was invented by Zhuge Liang.
Several people present shook their heads. Including Wang Lingzhi, who has always been indifferent, also shook his head and looked at Song Kai strangely.
Song Kai wanted to explain, but he still gave up and said, "Leave this matter to me, at the latest three days, let your subordinates prepare to land on the island." ”
Zhou Ce was relieved when he heard Song Kai say this, "Okay! ”
This is followed by arranging accommodation. The Feng brothers can't go back for the time being, after all, Ding Qingshan of the Great Dao Gate has fled, and with his character, he will definitely wait for an opportunity to take revenge on the Feng brothers.
There were a lot more houses in the tea garden, and Song Kai found three empty rooms, one for Feng Huo, one for Wang Lingzhi, and one for Feng Tian and his wife.
After the arrangements were made, Feng Tian killed the snake and took the guts. The golden egg-sized snake gall bladder smelled of blood.
Wang Lingzhi took the snake gall bladder, packed it in a wooden box, and thanked Song Kai and Feng Tian.
Feng Tian grinned and said, "Stewed snake meat." Let's eat together, Mrs. Wang, and eat more meat from the Snake King. Your internal wounds, heal fast. ”
Eaten. Song Kai gave Wang Lingzhi a little lower pulse, and the pulse was still a sign of blood congestion. prescribed some prescriptions to invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis and asked the people below to grab the medicine, Song Kai left, he was going to be busy with the hot air balloon matter.
The nest of the Taihu Gang is on a small island in Taihu Lake, the area of the island is not too large, since it was entrenched by the Taihu Gang, every year the Taihu Gang leader will invest some manpower and financial resources to build defensive projects around the island, such as the island is surrounded by light, it is difficult for ships to dock, and there are many big stones on the bottom of the water around the island, and the water surface is densely covered with all kinds of barrage iron nets.
If you want to enter the island from the water, it is indeed difficult, the people of the Taihu Lake Gang are familiar with water warfare, they hold harpoons in the water, there is no solution at all, unless it is cold and the ground is frozen, hoping that the Taihu Lake will freeze, otherwise this small island will be solid.
Song Kai asked Feng Tian to take it and went around Taihu Lake for an afternoon.
"What's the wind direction these days?" Song Kai asked.
Feng Tian pointed casually, "North wind." ”
"Let's go to the limelight," Song Kai turned around for half a circle, "find a place that is high and close to the island." ”
"Song Lang, what do you mean by this?" Feng Tian was puzzled.
"Take advantage of the wind," Song Kaidao.
The two of them found a cliff, and below the cliff was water, about 3,000 meters away, there was a small island, which was the nest of the Taihu Gang. It's a little far away and you can't see the island clearly.
After checking it, Song Xingxing had a bottom in his heart, and said, "Go back, there should be no problem." ”
"How do you fly over so far?" Feng Tian found that he couldn't figure out Song Kai's thoughts at all.
Song Kai smiled and asked, "Is there any resin that is very sticky?" ”
"That's a lot, but what do you want resin for? Does this also have something to do with the invasion of the island? Feng Tian became more and more confused.
"Then you will know".
In the evening, Song Kai began to gather people to take resin and weave cloth, and found more than a dozen blacksmiths to build a gourd-shaped stove overnight......
The whole tea garden is in full swing, and the key is that these busy people don't know what the purpose of weaving such a large burlap bag and smearing so much resin is.
Wang Lingzhi's injury has improved a lot, at least he has no problem riding and jumping.
On the wooden roof, Wang Lingzhi looked at the busy tea garden, the night breeze was a little cold, but the tea garden was very warm, at least the atmosphere was very warm, and all the people were busy, talking and laughing with each other. In the distance, Zhou Ce used his knife to make moves with several subordinates, talking about martial arts.
Song Kai carried a teapot and climbed onto the roof slightly awkwardly.
"Are you getting better?" Song Kai sat down beside Wang Lingzhi and asked.
"It's much better," Wang Lingzhi nodded at Song Kai, and without smiling, he looked up at the stars, the galaxy was dense, hanging high on the Milky Way, and the heart of beauty was broken.
"It's so beautiful," Wang Lingzhi couldn't help but sigh.
Song Kai also tilted his head, took a sip of tea, and sighed: "Yes, it's so beautiful, in my hometown, you can't see the stars." ”
"Can't see the stars? How can it be? Wang Lingzhi held his chin with both hands.
"Well, anything is possible," Song Kai continued to sigh.
"Your tea garden is very good, the tea is good, and the people are good," Wang Lingzhi didn't bother with the meaning of Song Kai's words, and said without a word.
"Thanks for the compliment."
"It's not a compliment," Wang Lingzhi sat upright and looked at the busy and peaceful crowd of people in the tea garden again. "I hope that one day, the people around me will be able to live like this. There is no intrigue, no killing and oppression. The government and the people are integrated, instead of being like now, with heavy taxes and exorbitant taxes, and careless of human lives. ”
Song Kai was silent and said: "The world is bustling, all for profit, all for profit." ”
"The world is bustling, all for profit, all for profit. What the scholar said really sounded better," Wang Lingzhi finally smiled, "What about you?" Song Kai, are you also busy with interests. ”
"That's nature," Song said.
"But why is your tea garden so harmonious?"
"My interests are also everyone's interests, so naturally we will unite as one."
Wang Lingzhi fell silent.
An old man hurriedly walked outside the tea garden, who had been seen in the hall the day before when he was negotiating with the Taihu Gang, and the record of Suzhou City had joined the army.
Zhou Ce put down the big knife in his hand and walked over. arched his hand, "What is the matter with Liu joining the army?" ”
The old man glanced at Zhou Ce with some cringe, although his position was higher than Zhou Ce, but the old man was still a little afraid of Zhou Ce. He took a breath, strengthened his courage, and said, "Captain Zhou." Just now, the official received the legend of the flying pigeon of General Crepe Dongliang, and he said that the Taihu Gang was just a trivial matter. It is not advisable to use more swords, and General Crepe hopes that Zhou Duwei will return to Suzhou City within three days. ”
"Oh? General Crepe has already arrived in Suzhou City? Zhou Ce frowned.
The old man arched his hand and said, "There are two days left." Previously, General Crepe made a detour to Jiangning Mansion to find old friends, and he was going to Suzhou City in a few days, and hoped that Zhou Duwei would return to Suzhou City on time to greet General Crepe. ”
Zhou Ce was silent.
The old man was a little frightened, shrunk his shoulders, then straightened his waist, and said, "Captain Zhou, the matter of the Taihu Gang...... The matter of the Taihu Gang was not reported by the old man to General Xuan. ”
Zhou Ce came back to his senses and said, "I know, thank you Liu for joining the army, Zhou will return to the city on time." ”
Liu Senjun turned to leave.
Zhou Ce put his hands behind his back, faintly worried, if Song Kai's method didn't work, as soon as Xuan Dongliang arrived in Suzhou City, he would never be able to get rid of the Taihu Gang.
Xuan Dongliang's position is only that of the marching Sima, but after all, he is Yang Jian's cronies, responsible for commanding all the soldiers and horses in Suzhou City, even if it is Xue Weihai, he can't directly fight against him.
When he arrived at the wooden house, Song Kai on the roof called Zhou Ce, "Brother Zhou, don't be upset, three days is enough." ”
"I hope," Zhou Ce smiled at Song Kai, nodded, and left with peace of mind.
"You Kong Ming lantern, can you really make people land on the island?" Wang Lingzhi was really a little skeptical, so he had to ask again.
"Yes, in my hometown, every time there is a Shangyuan Festival, Kong Ming lanterns will be released, very simple, a flame and a lampshade, you can fly very high and far," Song Kai explained slightly.
Wang Lingzhi was still a little skeptical, but he didn't ask anymore.
Song Kai turned to talk about internal strength, in fact, this is his purpose.
Wang Lingzhi didn't hide anything, and said: "The internal strength I practice is a family heirloom, and the power is good, but it needs to be cultivated from a young age, and my internal qi looks powerful, but in fact, it is not very easy to use." ”
"Why is that?" Song Kai was a little depressed, is it so difficult to become a martial arts master?
"In fact, my family uses visceral breathing to stimulate potential, only when I am young, when the viscera is not formed, can I cultivate this internal qi, so that the viscera can adapt to this internal qi breathing, if adults forcibly cultivate, the viscera will be displaced and die." Wang Lingzhi explained a few words, "And this internal qi can't continue to increase strength, it can only explode, it is suitable for archery and jumping, if it is really a hand-to-hand fight with a sword, I am not the opponent of Zhou Duwei at all." ”
Song Kai nodded disappointedly, took a sip of tea, and sighed: "When will I be able to become a martial arts master." ”
"Martial arts?" Wang Lingzhi repeated, and then nodded seriously, "It's much better and more elegant than the green forest, but there are also a lot of harms in martial arts." ”
After talking to Wang Lingzhi for a while, Song Kai jumped off the roof and went back to the room.
Nie Lingzhong resolutely no longer agreed to sleep in the same bed with Song Kai, which made Song Kai very disappointed.
After two days and two nights, everything was finally ready. (To be continued......)
