Chapter 53: Hidden Dragon Valley

Yun Zhuo's words made Du He ecstatic, he knew from the beginning that Yun Zhuo was definitely not the real mastermind behind the scenes, he didn't have this power yet. When Song Yan'er chose to leave, Li Jiancheng would definitely not let his son risk his life to take revenge. What's more, when Song Yan'er left, she didn't know Li Jiancheng at all, she just loved him as Li Cheng, and once she learned his true identity, she immediately went south. Therefore, it is impossible for Yun Zhuo to know so many Li Jiancheng's remnants and know about Li Jiancheng.

There is only one explanation, there is a suspicious person who knows about Song Yan'er's existence, and knows that Li Jiancheng has an orphan to reincarnate, so he recruited colleagues scattered all over the country and used Yun Zhuo's identity to restore.

Yun Zhuo is classified as Li Jiancheng's orphan, and his status is noble, but he is definitely not the person behind the scenes.

It wasn't until not long ago that Du He broke into the remnants of sin, and by chance learned from Yun Zhuo that there was a stepfather.

The person who can make Yun Zhuo, the young master, call his father-in-law, is obviously the real mastermind behind the scenes, and he is the real mastermind. It's just that Yun Zhuo and the righteous father have a division of labor, one is in front of the command, and the other is planning behind the scenes, so Du He has never been able to meet the real master messenger behind the scenes, let alone have the opportunity to go deep into their base to find out.

So he thought of the strategy of scaring the snake, only by making Yun Zhuo realize the seriousness of the situation, he would go to discuss with his father-in-law, and only in this way could he find the true lair of Li Jiancheng's remnants.

Yun Zhuo was able to take him, of course, it was the best, even if he was not ready to take him, he decided to disguise himself and follow secretly.

At noon that day, Du He informed Wu Meiniang, and rode south with Yun Zhuo and galloped away.

On the way, Du He didn't ask for a specific seat, but just took the opportunity to chat and asked Yun Zhuo who his so-called father-in-law was!

Yun Zhuo said disappreliantly: "My father-in-law's real name is Chen Ziyu, he is one of my father's advisers, and he is also the person I respect the most in my life. When I was young and a little sensible, I vaguely remember that my mother died of illness, and it was my stepfather who found me and asked me to teach me martial arts and teach me to learn, treating me like my own son. He let me know about the blood feud he was carrying, and for more than ten years he had been thinking about how to repay my father's kindness and avenge him. Without him, I would have been an orphan living on the streets, without a father or mother, begging for a living. ”

Du He didn't remember that there was such a person in history, but he didn't dare to be careless. His nameless origin is very likely because he is a loser, not because he is not good enough, and he can reunite the disheartened Li Jiancheng's remnants within ten years, and this alone is enough to make people look sideways and have to be cautious.

They went all the way south, arrived at Yuezhou Huiji, turned south, and came to the mouth of the Yongjiang River in the east, the locals like to call this place Wanghai Town, as the name suggests, in the east of the village and town is the boundless sea.

Due to the frequent ebb and flow of the tide, there are not many residents here. There are only 100 households, and most of them are fishermen, who make a living from fishing.

Yun Zhuo came to a simple house, knocked on the door three times, and then said: "Except for Li Bandit, I hate my father!" ”

The door opened, and out came a swarthy man.

The swarthy man didn't answer, just nodded to Yun Zhuo, put on a coat, and walked to the beach.

When you come to the wharf where the boats are moored, most of the boats moored on the wharf are fishing boats, and there are only a few passenger boats.

They boarded the largest of them and headed east.

Du He saw that the direction of the ship was faintly understood, and asked, "It turned out that it was based on an overseas island, and it was really far-sighted." ”

Yun Zhuo said with a smile: "This is the place chosen by my stepfather, he said that Weng Mountain can be attacked and defended, and the terrain of Haizhongzhou is treacherous, which is the best place to stay." ”

Du He also nodded in agreement, he had not heard of the place name Haizhongzhou, but he knew where Yun Zhuo was talking about. The place east of Huiji is the famous Zhoushan Islands in later generations, which has the reputation of "the first village in the East China Sea". "Historical Records" contains: Xu Fu of the Qin Dynasty looked for the elixir of immortality on the three islands of Penglai, Abbot and Yingzhou on the southeast coast, among which the "Penglai Immortal Island" is Daishan Island in Zhoushan.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Jiangnan was not very developed, let alone an overseas island far from the mainland.

It's a vast area and inaccessible, not to mention hiding, and even hiding a large army is not a problem.

If he were Chen Ziyu, he would also choose this Haizhong Continent as his base.

After all, there are not many convenient, safe, and treasured places that can be advanced and retreated, and this sea continent is just one of them.

After a day and a half of walking on the sea, a majestic mountain gradually appeared in front of Duhe's eyes.

Yun Zhuo introduced Du He: "This is Weng Mountain, and it is also where my stepfather lives. All the passenger ships in Wanghai Town are our people, and if you want to come to Weng Mountain, you must give a password. If the command is correct, the boatman will bring the person here and go directly up the hill from the path. If you are a traveler, you will be taken to the dock on the other side, where there is a small village with hundreds of people, of course ours. Travelers are just here to play, so they don't care, if they ask the east and west, they are suspicious and suspicious. ”

Duhe had a sentence in his throat, but he didn't ask. He wanted to ask the people in the village, but the answer was already obvious.

Thinking that this Haizhong Continent was being guarded so closely, it was already certain that this was the lair of Li Jiancheng's remnants.

The two climbed to the hidden pier at the foot of the mountain and followed the sheep intestine trail up the mountain.

The mountain road is difficult to walk, and Duhe's intuition tells him that there are many secret posts in the dark, so it is not easy to sneak up the mountain, and the higher you go, the tighter it becomes. After walking for about an hour and a half, a huge valley appeared in front of me in the seat of the mountainside.

The valley is surrounded by mountains on three sides, one side faces the valley, and there is only a trail similar to a line of heaven that can enter the valley.

The area of the valley is extremely large, and it is no less than a small county town.

The terrain is flat, with verdant peaks and babbling streams. Green pine, red maple cover the sky, there is a natural barrier, it is simply a paradise, more than 100 houses have been built scattered in the valley, there is a huge school field on the right side of the house, there are thousands of people training on the school field. They took swords and shields made of wood, and fought with each other.

From Du He's eyes, it is not difficult to see that these soldiers are all elite soldiers who are brave and good at fighting, and they may not be as strong as the strong soldiers under his command, but the ordinary Tang soldiers may not be as good as them, the only deficiency is cooperation, judging from the invitation they practice, cooperation is a major weakness of them.

Du He couldn't help but shout, "Good place, good team, good, really good." ”

Yun Zhuo said smugly: "This place is called Hidden Dragon Valley, which was accidentally discovered by my stepfather ten years ago. These soldiers are the result of his old man's ten years of hard work, and he continues to draw talents from the Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall. This soldier has all received formal martial arts training, and all of them are elite, and it is no exaggeration to say that one is ten. ”

Du He's heart moved, and he secretly sneered: "Hidden Dragon Valley, what a big breath, I think you are just a group of poisonous snakes at best, and you still call yourself dragons?" He looked at Yun Zhuo's so-called strong team again, and said in his heart: "Isn't there a good general among Li Jiancheng's remnants?" "When I think about it, it's all sudden. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, Li Shiming cooked outside, Li Jiancheng was inside, one was fighting outside, and the other was governing the country inside. Li Shimin, who was in the main battle, naturally came into contact with one by one of the generals and famous generals, and Li Jiancheng in the main battle undoubtedly came into contact with most literati. Therefore, Major General Li Jiancheng, the only trusted generals Luo Yi, Xue Wanjun, and Xue Wanche, were either killed or subdued by Li Shimin.

Most of the people Chen Ziyu was able to recruit were Li Jiancheng's old department, and naturally they were mainly literati, but there were not many people who really knew how to train soldiers.

Du He smiled slightly: "In terms of combat power, this strong team of ten people can win against a hundred, and a hundred people can win against three hundred, but a thousand people are not defeated by a thousand people in the Tang Dynasty." ”

Yun Zhuo was stunned and disagreed: "Why is this, I have fought with the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and they are far inferior to these soldiers. ”

Du He said: "The real good fighting team does not rely on individual strength, but team strength. The role that individual martial arts can play on the real battlefield is negligible, and the soldiers are the real lethality. This strong force is exactly the opposite of the situation on the battlefield, they focus on individual combat and do not know anything about group cooperation. This is like the truth that a tiger is no match for a jackal, no matter how strong it is. ”

Although the tiger is known as the king of beasts, its natural predator in the forest is the jackal. Even in the fierce tiger, the pack of jackals has to take a detour, otherwise it will be a dead end and become the food for the wolves.

Yun Zhuo was speechless, but he was not angry, and said with a smile: "I have written down Brother Du's words, and I will go back and discuss this matter with my father-in-law to see if he can hand them over to you for training." ”

The two laughed and said.

When passers-by saw Yun Zhuo, they saluted and greeted each other, and looked at Du He's arrival with questions!

Yun Zhuo also greeted with a smile.

After a while, they came to the deepest part of the valley, and one of the most majestic buildings appeared in front of them, and Yun Zhuo asked them to enter.

However, someone invited him in, emphasizing that only Yun Zhuo was invited.

Yun Zhuo apologized for letting Du He wait for a moment.

Du He smiled and said that he understood, and after Yun Zhuo walked into the building, he stood in the deepest part of the valley and looked at the entire valley, thinking in his heart how he could conquer this well-guarded valley in one fell swoop if he had soldiers in his hands.

This valley is a miracle of nature, standing in danger and specially repaired, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

This strong attack is not the way, outwitting is the best strategy, the eyes noticed the huge cave in the corner of the valley that was dug out by hand, and someone happened to transport bags of things similar to rice into the cave, and smiled confidently, there was already a preliminary attack tactic.
