Chapter Forty-Six: The Secret Discussion of the "Cool Garden" (Part II)

Zhong Youpeng's request seems reasonable, but it is more difficult for the crossing team. Because before that, the crossing team had been trying their best to hide their military strength, so as not to be discovered by the Khitans prematurely about the existence of such a strong armed force in this cloudy land. To this end, the crossing team not only spent large sums of money to buy large tracts of land, especially those close to the mountains, in order to prevent outsiders from entering the team's core production and military areas under the pretext of protecting the land. Moreover, even when the "Flying Dragon Army" attacked in order to accumulate combat experience, they chose Caokou located in the mountainous area, and did not hesitate to go all the way to the Northern Han Dynasty to fight against the local army. Now, in order to satisfy Zhong Youpeng's desire to show his strength of the "Flying Dragon Army" and send troops to fight against the Khitans, then the efforts made by the crossing team to hide the strength of the "Flying Dragon Army" in order to give the Khitans a fatal blow at a critical moment are in vain.

Therefore, after listening to Zhong Youpeng's request, the traversers present fell silent for a while, and several brothers from the military department even began to slander this Zhong member for being too unreasonable, and such a difficult request would actually be raised. Especially Qian Yuanshan, who was the commander-in-chief of the "Flying Dragon Army", was even more indignant. If the other party is not kind to him, and at the same time he is Wang Feng's father-in-law, I am afraid that this Qian Shiyi Ye has already brushed his sleeves away at this time.

With Zhong Youpeng's experience and eyesight, he naturally saw the hesitation and dissatisfaction in the other party's eyes. Originally, he didn't have much hope that this request would be agreed by the other party, and when he said, "Chao Yilang and all the righteous people don't have to be embarrassed, the old man's request is just a casual mention, you don't have to take it to heart." Previously, you agreed to let Feng'er take the old man to see the drills of the 'Security Team' and the 'Flying Dragon Army', which was already an exception. The old man really shouldn't have 'got Longwangshu' anymore and made such an unrealistic request. ”

After speaking, Zhong Youpeng clenched his fists and arched his hands, intending to compensate Wang Kunjun and others. As a result, before he could complete the courtesy, he was stopped by Wang Kunjun, who had already come back to his senses, with a wave of his hand. After inviting Zhong Youpeng to sit down, Wang Kunjun said: "The words of the staff are serious. As the saying goes, 'seeing is believing, hearing is false'. If the 'Flying Dragon Army' can be famous in the land of clouds, it will be much easier for outsiders to lobby others. After all, real strength is far more impressive than empty boasting.

However, although I, the 'Flying Dragon Army', have always hidden my strength in order to 'soar into the sky' and 'make a splash'. However, this does not mean that the 'Flying Dragon Army' will only hide in the barren mountains and mountains to practice, and dare not take half a step out of the mountains. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Kunjun paused slightly, seeing that Zhong Youpeng was attracted by his topic and listened very carefully, and the other brothers present did not object to him mentioning this topic, so he continued: "In addition to concealing the officers, in order to increase the actual combat experience of the officers and soldiers, or to let the officers and soldiers go through the battle formation, see the blood, and become more proficient in the firearms in their hands, the 'Flying Dragon Army' has gone out of the mountains to fight twice.

Among them, the scale of the first time was smaller, and the soldiers and horses used were only hundreds, and the opponents were only a few bandits and grass robbers who occupied the mountains as kings. Although the 'Wyvern Army' won several battles, the battles took place in the mountains far away from the villages and towns, and it was difficult for outsiders to know. Second, what has been extinguished is only a few green forest cottages, even if some people who have been in the mountains or live in the mountains all year round have seen it, at most they will be used as a talking point for small talk like other green forest stories, and it will not attract the attention of others. Therefore, except for some bandits and grass robbers around Youdu Mansion, other people don't know the origin of Shili who swept away those cottages in one fell swoop - even those so-called thieves and grass robbers who know, they only know that it is the counterparts of the 'Flying Dragon Village' who attacked, but they don't know the true strength of the 'Flying Dragon Village', let alone the existence of the 'Flying Dragon Army'. ”

After Wang Kunjun finished talking about "Operation No. 1", he took a sip of tea from his teacup, and was about to continue talking about "Operation No. 2", but was interrupted by Zhong Youpeng. I heard Zhong Youpeng suddenly say: "It turns out that the so-called 'Flying Dragon Village' that swept away the three villages of 'Hundred Flowers', 'Purple Stone', and 'Feiyun' in one fell swoop is the 'Flying Dragon Army'. No wonder the old man's friends on the road talked about the destruction of Sanzhai, on the one hand, he sighed and sighed that the strength of the "Feilong Village" was extraordinary, and he did things neatly. On the other hand, they also have some suspicions and disbelief, thinking that those escaped Sanzhai minions have a lot of untruths and exaggerations when they tell them, and they are simply frightened by their opponents. ,

Therefore, when they told the old man about this incident, they did not carefully explain to the old man the weapons used by the soldiers of the 'Flying Dragon Village', as well as the name of the leader who led the troops to carry out this battle. But it was their vagueness that made the old man never associate this peculiar team of green forest heroes with the 'Flying Dragon Army'. Until today, I learned that the two are the same thing.

It's just that, although according to the old man's friends in the green forest, these battles of the 'Flying Dragon Army' were fought quite easily and quickly. But as the court councillor said, these small-scale battles all took place in the deep mountains and old forests, and few outsiders could know about them except for some green forest colleagues. ”

After listening to Zhong Youpeng's narration, Wang Kunjun kept in mind what the other party said and had contact with the people on the green forest road, and praised him: "The staff really has a wide range of friends and many friends, and even knows these little things on the green forest road well, and it is really 'a know-it-all'." ”

Zhong Youpeng waved his hand again and again after hearing this, and said humbly: "Chao Yilang praised it." The old man just likes to make friends, so he knows some of the surface of this matter by hearsay, where can he dare to call the word 'know-it-all'. ”

After saying that, Zhong Youpeng exchanged a few more polite words with Wang Kunjun, and then asked tentatively: "Fang Cai said to Yilang that the 'Flying Dragon Army' has gone out of the mountain to fight twice before. Moreover, the scale of the latter is much larger than that of the time when Sanzhai was extinguished. I don't know, who did the 'Flying Dragon Army' fight against this second time out of the mountain, and what was the battle situation? ”

When Wang Kunjun heard this, he replied very happily: "This second time to go out of the mountain to fight, the scale is much larger than the first one, with a total of 2,000 men and horses participating. And the place of the battle is not in the territory of Liao, but a long journey, infiltrated into the Han State, and fought twice with the Han army in the Han military fortress Dabaoshu, not only occupied the Dabaoshu, but also defeated the 15,000 Han army led by the famous Han general Liu Jiye, and in the process of retreating, the soldiers occupied the Han border town of the Han State without blood. ”

Although the "No. 2 Operation" has achieved a lot of results, Wang Kunjun, who has enough understanding of the strength of his own team, naturally does not take this victory that has become a thing of the past too seriously, and says it very easily. But when the same words were heard in Zhong Youpeng's ears, his feeling was completely different, which made him both shocked and taken for granted.

The reason why Zhong Youpeng was shocked was because he had many friends, so he naturally heard of this "Battle of Dabaoshu", which was very famous in Han, Liao and even Zhou. At the same time, he also knew that this battle not only caused the complete collapse of the 15,000 Han army, with more than half of the casualties, and that the remnants of the army that Zuihou could collect were only about 2,000 people, but also because he had not figured out who had defeated the Han army, the Han court had a headache for a long time. Although Zuihou placed the charge on the "Shenji Army" of the Zhou State, which had always been at odds with him, and had once shined during the southern expedition, neither the monarchs and ministers of the Han State nor outsiders like Zhong Youpeng believed this assertion - the Zhou State was in the south of the Han State, and even if the "Shenji Army" entered the country and attacked secretly, they did not let go of a few county towns and forts in the south of the Han State and did not fight, but crossed the entire territory of the Han State and ran to the place where the Han and Liao borders were made before making a move.

As for the Liao State, first, the Liao army has always been "above board" in "fighting grass valleys", and there is no need to deny it. Second, the large number of firearms used by this unknown army also shows that they have nothing to do with the Liao army -- so far, the whole world only knows that the Zhou court has been instructed by a superior person to establish a "divine army" that uses firearms, and has never heard of other countries being equipped with such weapons. In terms of the relationship between Zhou and Liao, it is absolutely impossible for Zhou to leak the skills of making and using firearms to Liao.

Therefore, the team that defeated the Han army in the "Battle of Dabaoshu" has always been shrouded in fog, which makes it difficult for anyone who knows about that battle to figure it out. At this time, it is reasonable to hear that this battle was done by the "Flying Dragon Army", and it is reasonable to be shocked in my heart.

I take it for granted, because after watching the drills of the "Flying Dragon Army", Zhong Youpeng already has a certain understanding of the strength of the "Flying Dragon Army", and he can naturally analyze that for such a strong "Flying Dragon Army", whether it is attacking the big fort or relying on the high walls of the big fort, it is not a difficult task. It can be said that it is natural to win this battle, and it is the unexpected result to lose it.

In Zhong Youpeng's view, with such a record, the "Flying Dragon Army" no longer needs any other actions to show its strong combat power. Therefore, after a moment of shock, he said to Wang Kunjun: "It turns out that the strong team of unknown origin in the 'Battle of Dabaoshu' of the Han Kingdom is the 'Flying Dragon Army', so it is no wonder that the Han army was defeated so badly. This battle is enough to show the strength of the 'Flying Dragon Army', and the old man has used this as a basis to persuade others, but I don't know if the court council agrees with the old man to tell the truth about this matter to others? ”

Wang Kunjun nodded after hearing this, and said: "Since I told the staff about this matter, I hope that the staff will use these two things as the basis for persuading others, so why don't you agree with the staff to tell the truth to those who are persuaded?" ”
