Chapter 617: The Man in Black Behind the Scenes
"What? Are you saying that Ouyang Zhunyu led people overnight to wipe out our deployment in an entire village in the north? Hearing the news from his subordinates from the northern front, the pirate leader couldn't help but be furious, slapped the table and shouted, "Are our people's forces in the north eating dry food?" Can't even a mere team of people resist it? Or are we really running out of people on our side? Have all the grain, grass and military salaries from the encirclement and suppression been used to feed those rice buckets? ”
"My lord, with all due respect, this Ouyang Zhunyu's mastery of the old spicy strategy is really what I have seen in my life, you might as well go to the front line to see it in person, just in the face of the main forces of the imperial court, we are already exhausted, if we carry out a sneak attack on Ouyang Zhunyu's stragglers overnight, we really have no spare strength."
The subordinate in front of the pirate leader said: "Now that the battle situation on the front line is urgent, and the supplies and grain and grass are very tight, most of our food is still plundered by the villages that slaughter the civilians, but now there is Ouyang Zhunyu, the guardian saint, he not only sent people to be stationed in the grain depot of the village to give us no chance, but even rewarded the civilian people with the excess military salaries in the military camp, we are afraid..." Before the subordinate could finish speaking, the voice was interrupted by the pirate leader.
"I'm afraid of what..? What about the support of a mere public opinion, even if he is behind the entire imperial court? Could it be that we have been stationed in this sea area for so many years, and we can't fight a little Ouyang Zhunyu? Every generation of dynasties will have a time of reform, this time with Ouyang Zhunyu, who will it be next time? Or do you want us to spend our whole lives curled up in the shadows of the sea? ”
The leader of the pirates looked at his subordinates talking about Ouyang Zhunyu, and his face changed, showing a helpless decadence in front of him, and he shouted angrily: "You useless waste. This time, it is better for me to personally go to the northern front to command, to fight with that Ouyang Zhunyu, and see what kind of shocking ability he has to make us pirates so fearful! ”
"No need, your mission is over here" Suddenly, a majestic voice came from the door, which made the pirate leader and his subordinates instantly alert, picked up the butcher knife on the table and pointed in the direction of the door.
It was a man in black who was dressed in a robe standing in front of the door, and said slowly: "They are all old people, why bother to dance with knives and guns." ”
Before his subordinates could open their mouths to refute, the pirate leader looked at the visitor in front of him and patted his ass with a little delight: "My lord, why have you come to patronize this poor country?" Come on, please be seated. With that, the pirate leader put down the butcher knife in his hand and invited the man in black in front of him to his place under the puzzled gaze of his subordinates.
Only then did the pirate subordinates realize that the man in black in front of him might be the gold lord who the pirate leader had been supporting and serving behind him, and hurriedly put away the knife on the side and said respectfully: "The little incompetence is offended to the adults, and I hope that the adults will be magnanimous and forgiving." The two adults discussed important matters first, and the younger one retired first. ”
Waving his hand at the pirate subordinates, the pirate leader turned around and continued to say, "I don't know what the so-called Lord came here this time? Are you here to find out what's going on here?"
Thinking of the results of the current defeat, the pirate leader became a little nervous, but he still said truthfully to the man in front of him: "Although our side is still in the stage of defeat on the battlefield, please rest assured, in time, we will definitely take the life of the northern court." ”
"Not necessarily." The man in black shook his head and said slowly, "I just came to inform you that you don't need to worry about the situation of the war in the north, you can just stay here." ”
After hearing this, the pirate leader was a little puzzled, and hurriedly asked: "Why, my lord, although we are indeed thankless on the battlefield, and the number of sacrifices is quite heavy at present, the war that has been persisted for so long has indeed created a lot of chaos for the imperial court, and has depleted the power of a considerable number of military attaches stationed on the border, and we have successfully become a thorn in the side of the deliberations of the military officials above the imperial court." Isn't that a good thing for adults? "Book eight
didn't wait for the answer to the question that the man in black could bring to his imagination, correspondingly, a heavy hand locked his throat and hung it on the wall, the pirate leader only felt that the whole world seemed to be spinning, and a strong feeling of suffocation caused by lack of oxygen surged in the pirate leader's mind, and the pirate leader suddenly had the idea that he was going to die today, and hurriedly slapped the wrist of the man in black in front of him to try to break free from the shackles, but no matter how hard he tried, this hand still didn't move. It can be seen that the man in black is also quite good in terms of grip strength alone.
"My lord.. My lord.. Let go of me.. Please.. I'm almost out of breath.." The pirate leader screamed and struggled desperately, but the man in black in front of him was indifferent, just put his head in front of the pirate leader's door and said in a cold voice: "Now you are clear, I want to get rid of you and make you completely disappear in this world, as simple as pinching an ant to death.. You just have to do what I command, and you don't have to ask so many reasons..."
"I understand, I understand! Please let me go... It's so uncomfortable.." The pirate leader shouted.
Suddenly, the man in black opened his arms suddenly, and the pirate leader instantly felt like he had returned to the world from hell, and he breathed out oxygen for gas exchange, and gasped and said, "Thank you for not killing the adult, the little one has already remembered the instructions of the adult." ”
"Remember what I said, you don't need to meddle in the affairs of the north anymore, just stay here and cause a riot to the court and the officers and soldiers, as for Ouyang Zhunyu's side, I have other plans." With that, the man in black turned around and left the house.
"What bullshit, sir! It's obviously a strong snake! Seeing the back of the man in black completely leaving the house, the pirate leader slammed the silk book on the table and scolded angrily, but after venting his anger, after scolding, the pirate leader still thought that he had thought about the pros and cons of today.
Since the man in black doesn't want to meddle in the war in the north and let himself station his forces here, it means that he doesn't have to be under the jurisdiction of the man in black for a considerable part of the time, and he can only be good at development in this one-third of an acre of land under him.
When the time comes, when he can gather a large force, he can go back to the north to take revenge on Ouyang Zhunyu.
This is indeed a brilliant calculation.
Thinking of this, the bad mood that was originally hanging by a thread around his neck was completely swept away, and the pirate leader paged over the pirate subordinates who had just left.
"What commands, my lord?" The pirate subordinate asked with his fists clenched.
"Pass my order, from today onwards, our forces will no longer be derived to the northern front to stalemate with the imperial court, but to plunder all the resources that can be obtained in the geographical environment where we are now located, and when we are Jin Ge Iron Horse, it will be the time to return to the northern battlefield to wash away the old enemy." The pirate leader ordered.
"Yes! My lord! The pirate subordinate replied.
