It snowed after dinner. The snow was not heavy, and it was fluttering. This spring snow is the greatest blessing for the Yimeng Mountains, which have been in drought for ten years and nine droughts, but it is a mixed blessing for the hundreds of bandits who are ready to break through the mountains after the Mengshan Cottage is broken, at least it is a trouble for the team to go down the mountain in the dark.

Across the mountain beam, Long Qian couldn't see the fire burning in the direction of Dongzhai. But he knew that Lu Dao Lushan would carry out his orders to the letter. Regarding the personalities of several squad leaders of the eighth team, Long Qian thought that he had completely mastered them. Lu Shan will have a different opinion, but he will never violate the decision he has already made. On the contrary, it was Wang Mingyuan, who was quite assertive about the situation, and Long Qian did not dare to play this package ticket.

The team has begun to assemble, plus the remnants of the six teams, Long Qian's troops exceeded one hundred and fifty people, the exact number is one hundred and fifty-seven, but among them, Song Jinguo will take six people to stay behind to take care of more than thirty wounded and women, and less than one hundred and twenty people who followed Long Qian to evacuate Mengshan.

Long Qian came to the second squad that had already formed the team, and saw Wang Mingyuan standing at the head of the team, "Don't be in a hurry, you can let everyone take a break." ”

Wang Mingyuan took out his cigarette pouch and lit a pot of cigarettes, "How many puffs to refresh yourself?" "In the past few days, Long Qian has been seriously lacking in sleep and very sleepy.

Long Qian took Wang Mingyuan's cigarette pouch and took a puff, the spicy taste made him cough again and again, "No, it's too choking." He returned the cigarette pouch to Wang Mingyuan.

"Captain, you've seen the world, do you think we'll hold on? Will the officers and soldiers let us go? What do we do in the future? ”

"Mingyuan, your questions are too complicated, to be honest, I don't have answers. When you ask this, I think of two sentences, 'How can there be a way of life in troubled times, I will change the world in one move!'" Since I'm here, I'm not going to be caught. I told you, this world is too bastard, and if you want to live, you don't have to rely on others, but yourself. If we can't win the official army, we don't want to live. In turn, we will live well. ”

"You shouldn't provoke the government. The big boss did something wrong. The heads of the family are gone, and Wang Mingyuan has no scruples when he speaks.

That incident refers to the robbery of Hong Wanyue. The blackmail failed, and the beauty did not obey, and was strangled to death by the angry Sun Deming on the bed, and after only two months, it attracted the revenge of the officers and soldiers of the brigade.

"That's just an introduction. Without provoking the government, we can only bully a few rich families in the surrounding Zhuangzi, and we can't feed the thousands of people in the cottage who have proliferated due to famine, and the results are not much better. Don't you find that the rich households are recruiting troops and horses, and the joint village is protecting itself, and its strength is getting stronger and stronger? Can the thousands of brothers in the cottage survive by a few passing merchants? Even if we can get by, we will always be bandits. ”

"What else could it be! Who wants to be a bandit if they don't have to live? Wang Mingyuan was excited, everyone who went up the mountain and fell into the grass is a collection of stories, Wang Mingyuan, whose hometown is in Jinxiang County, southwest of Luxi, is because of the conflict with the landlord because of the arrears of rent, and his father was killed on the spot by the landlord's family after the dispute, Wang Mingyuan, who has practiced martial arts, fled to another country after cutting down two families, and there are minor siblings and mothers at home who do not know their whereabouts.

A very ordinary story. The Qing Empire could not help but annex land, and after more than 250 years of establishment, land annexation developed to an astonishing extent.

"You can't say that." Long Qian smiled and said, "What kind of prince will Xiangning have?" Ambitious men earn their own wealth, you have studied in private school for a few days, and you always know that most of the emperors and generals who founded the country in the past dynasties were born in bitterness, and the former Ming Taizu let go of the cow, and had to go to the temple to be a small novice in order to make a living......"

Wang Mingyuan smiled, "I know that Captain Lu Dao has a high spirit, but who is Ming Taizu?" Those were all Ziweixing descended to earth and came into being. I'm nothing but a murderous fugitive from exile......"

"If you have studied for a few years, you must know that the three generals who can fight the most in the Western Han Dynasty are Han Xin, Peng Yue and Yingbu. Han Xin is a hooligan, he has to endure the humiliation of his crotch, and even eats by washing clothes for a living of the old woman, Yingbu and Peng Yue's backgrounds are not much better, but the last one is famous in history. You remember, history is written by the victors, and if you get to their place, the person who wrote the book will also give you a heavenly star reincarnation, and Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, had twenty-eight main assistants, most of whom were his Nanyang Township Party, which was said to be the reincarnation of the twenty-eight sutras, do you think they were the reincarnation of the twenty-eight sutras or were they written as the reincarnation of the twenty-eight sutras? ”

Wang Mingyuan is a bit cultured, when he was a child in private school, he remembered the words of Confucius, Zi was silent, strange and confused, Confucianism does not believe in God, but he is still very fearful of the gods. Long Qian casually talked and laughed at the big figures in history like this, which shocked Wang Mingyuan. In particular, the sentence that history was written by the victors shocked him even more.

Therefore, historians have summed up a very classic saying, which is called the defeat of the king. You get the idea, right? Long Qian patted Wang Mingyuan on the shoulder, "Now, the most important thing for us is to live." The head was cut off by the officials and soldiers, and he was hung on the city gate tower to show the public, that is, an out-and-out bandit. However, if the rebellion creates a reputation, at least like the heroes of Liangshan, it will be completely different. Long Qian shouted Jiang Yun, and Jiang Yun had already run over with a rope on his back.

"I'll go first when I go down the mountain, and you follow." Long Qian took the rope from Jiang Yun's shoulder, checked it, and carried it on his shoulder, "It's not that I underestimate you, when it comes to climbing mountains and mountains, I think among the eight teams, I'm afraid there is no one stronger than me." ”

The wounded members of the eighth and sixth teams who stayed in the village were watching the brigade set off in the dark with mixed feelings. Long Qian sent Wang Mingyuan's most powerful Shi Changcheng Erhu with more than a dozen people to guard the Tianmen position, although it is estimated that the official army will not attack in the dark, but Long Qian still sent his most trusted cadres to guard. The remaining team members already knew their mission, and they looked at Long Qian standing in front of the team from time to time, and the torches reflected Long Qian's face flickering, and they couldn't see his mood at the moment.

Long Qian turned around and asked Jiang Yun to call a few squad leaders again, and finally explained the order of the march when breaking through, precautions, and the place where they gathered after the encounter was dispersed, everyone felt that the captain they had always admired was a bit mother-in-law, "This hundred and ten people are our tinder and represent the hope of the future," Long Qian looked at several squad leaders, "You will all have to take on great responsibilities in the future, and you must use your brains in everything," he pointed to his head, "Don't be reckless, especially when the war is not going well." Lu Shan, remember? ”

Lu Shan replied, "Don't worry, I have remembered all your explanations." ”

Ning Shijun was surprised by what Long Qian said just now: Take on a big responsibility, hope for the future...... Just a few of us? He was born differently from Wang Mingyuan, Lu Shan, and Feng Guozhu, and his thoughts and worries were also different, and he was amused by Long Qian's words, but he just flashed the idea of sneering, and he was at a critical moment of life and death, and he didn't care about thinking about those useless things.

Ning Shijun returned to the place where he had gathered and counted the number of people again, and the dozen or so people sat quietly, without loud noise or uneasy emotions. When Ning Shijun ordered to report the number, the minions quickly stood in a column and reported the number loudly. This made Ning Shijun satisfied, and he was also grateful to Captain Long's unique training methods. Now it has been proved that this set of military training methods that once puzzled the entire Eighth Team is indeed effective.

Due to family reasons, Ning Shijun studied military books and war strategies at a very young age, and when he was a little older, he determined his life goals, and longed to build the Zeng State Domain Hu Linyi in the future, so he repeatedly studied the "Zeng Hu Zhibing Quotations" that had been circulated, compared with "Sun Tzu" and "Liutao" and other military books that talked about macro principles, Zeng Hu Zhibing's quotations are more practical.

It wasn't until the end of the day that Long Qian gave the order to set off.

The route to break through was personally chosen by Long Qian, in fact, he had already explored this road, in fact, the so-called cliff was only a section of the road that could not be climbed from the bottom up, but from the top it was completely possible to go down the rope.

did not raise the fire, Long Qian walked in the head of the team, whenever it was more difficult, Long Qian would remind Wang Mingyuan in the back to pay attention, and the reminders were passed to the back one by one. After walking a fairly good mountain road, the team began to descend the mountain, "Don't talk, go down in groups of two, in order." Long Qian ordered in a deep voice.

With a rope and good organization, this small group of people who had survived the bloody battle climbed over the cliffs that they had thought were impossible to walk on in the snowy night, and on the way down the mountain they were slow because they were not allowed to raise fires, during which they could see the faint light of the fire in the north, which should have been the torches lit by the officers and soldiers below the building. When the team went down safely to a flat place, standing in the silent wilderness, after the roll call of each team, they got rid of Long Qian, and everyone believed that they had jumped out of the encirclement.
