Chapter 31: Plans to attack Huaiyuan
Liu Ju and Chang Yuchun, seeing Xie Wuji say so solemnly, couldn't help but look at each other, let them think about breaking their heads, and they couldn't understand how Xie Wuji, a disciple who grew up in Wudang since childhood, could have a great relationship with their Mingjiao, and what grievances were very entangled. Could it be that this is just Xie Wuji's prevarication, but looking at Xie Wuji's expression, it is not like it, and he can't help but be even more puzzled.
For a while, the atmosphere in the room became a little weird, and the two of them had the heart to ask again, but they saw that Xie Wuji didn't want to talk about it, so they had to give up and stop asking.
Although Liu Ju looks like a rude and reckless man, his mind is quite delicate, and he also knows that it is not possible to let Xie Wuji, a Wudang descendant, join his Ming Sect in a moment, so he will no longer force each other too much, so as not to arouse Xie Wuji's disgust.
Liu Ju poured wine for the three of them with his own hands, raised his glass and said with a smile: "That's it, today we brothers will no longer talk about business, only about brotherhood." Come, come, come, Brother Xie, I toast you. Between the words, they are quite familiar, and the meaning of friendship is overflowing with words.
"Brother Xie, I salute you with Brother Liu." Chang Yuchun also raised his glass.
"The two brothers are polite, let's drink together." Xie Wuji raised his glass with a smile, touched each other with the two, and then raised his head and drank it all. Although Liu Ju is not as famous in history as Chang Yuchun, he is also a generation of fierce generals, and Xie Wuji is naturally willing to have a good relationship with him.
Liu Ju filled the wine bowl for the three of them again, and said with a smile: "Brother Xie, what are your plans in the future?" If you have nothing to do, you might as well hover around us for a few more days, so that Brother Chang and I can entertain you well. ”
Xie Wuji naturally guessed Liu Ju's thoughts, and he didn't break it, and nodded with a smile: "It's okay, I don't have anything to do, just disturb the two brothers for a few more days." ”
Chang Yuchun pretended to be unhappy and said: "Brother Xie, you are too outward, you and my brother have a similar temper, why bother?" Penalty for drinking! Must be punished for drinking! ”
"Yes, yes, it's me who is wrong, I admit punishment!" Xie Wuji laughed, picked up the wine bowl, and drank it all.
The three of them drank more intensely, pushed the glass and changed the lamp, and talked freely, until late at night, before they reluctantly dispersed. Since someone had already cleaned up a room for Xie Wuji, Xie Wuji also drank a lot, and he slept at the end of the day, without any defense at all.
Liu Ju and Chang Yuchun listened to the return of their subordinates, looked at each other and smiled, and were more satisfied with Xie Wuji's temperament, coupled with Xie Wuji's reactive power was really extraordinary, which made him even more willing to pull him into Mingjiao.
In this way, Xie Wuji lived in the cottage, and every day he either drank with Liu Ju and Chang Yuchun, or went out with the two of them, attacking and killing a small group of Yuan soldiers.
And because Xie Wuji is not meritorious, the number of enemies killed each time is the most, and he has saved the lives of the disciples of the giant wood banner countless times, and after a long time, he has been supported by the disciples of the giant wood flag in the village. Even Liu Ju and Chang Yuchun admired Xie Wuji.
During this period, Liu Ju and Chang Yuchun also persuaded each other many times and invited Xie Wuji to join, and even Liu Ju proposed that as long as Xie Wuji was willing to join them, he would give up the position of the deputy incense master and come to sit for Xie Wuji, but Xie Wuji refused with a smile.
As the days went by, Liu Ju and Chang Yuchun saw that Xie Jian Wuji still did not let go and joined them, but they had no intention of leaving, every time they attacked, they would accompany each other, and they were no longer in a hurry to persuade each other. In the hearts of the two, although Xie Wuji did not agree, he was actually no different from joining them.
On this day, there was no action, Liu Ju and Chang Yuchun didn't know where to go, Xie Wuji had nothing to do, so he instructed a group of Jumuqi disciples to do martial arts.
In an empty small square in the cottage, under the guidance of Xie Wuji, the disciples of Jumuqi practiced enthusiastically, and they would not let go of the rare opportunity to have Xie Wuji, a big master.
Suddenly, a rush of footsteps sounded, Liu Ju and Chang Yuchun walked quickly, both of them were sinking like water, arguing in a low voice from time to time, as if something big was about to happen.
Xie Wuji raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked with a smile: "Two brothers, what's wrong?" But what's going on? ”
"Yes." Liu Ju nodded his head and said in a low voice, "Brother Xie, let's go in and talk about it." As he spoke, he took Xie Wuji's wrist, and together with Chang Yuchun, strode towards the conference hall.
"Okay." Xie Wuji saw that Liu Ju's face was calm, so he did not resist, and followed the two to the conference hall.
As soon as the three of them stepped into the conference hall, Chang Yuchun looked around the hall, and after seeing that there was no one nearby, he closed the hall door tightly.
Liu Ju lowered his voice and said, "Brother Xie, I just got the news that Huaiyuan City has gathered a large amount of grain and grass snatched by the Tartars, and it will be shipped to Kyoto in the near future. Chang Yuchun and I are discussing whether we should do it and snatch it over. ”
"Oh?" When Xie Wuji heard this, he was slightly stunned, and muttered: "The stakes are very high, the defense force of the Tartars should not be weak, right?" ”
Chang Yuchun said in a deep voice: "Right now, in Huaiyuan City, a whole team of Tartar elites, including thousands of people, is responsible for escorting this batch of grain and grass. ”
When Xie Wuji heard this, he couldn't help frowning and pondered silently. You must know that the thousand-person Meng Yuan elite of the whole team is not so easy to deal with. Although today's Mengyuan elite is far less invincible and invincible than Genghis Khan or Kublai Khan's time, it is by no means something that more than 200 of them can deal with.
"What's wrong with a thousand Tartar soldiers, are we just watching this batch of grain and grass being transported away and doing nothing?" Liu Ju's face was slightly gloomy, and he shouted in a low voice.
Chang Yuchun smiled bitterly and persuaded: "Brother Liu, it's not that we don't want to do it, but with our hands, we really can't eat it." This matter needs to be considered in the long run. ”
Liu Ju said unhappily: "Think about it in the long run? What does it mean to think long-term? When we figure out a way, the grain and grass will be transported away by the Tartars, and we will still think about it in the long run......"
"Brother Liu, don't worry, let me ask about the situation first." Xie Wuji first dissuaded Liu Ju's complaints, and then asked Chang Yuchun: "Brother Chang, can you find out the specific movements of this team of Tartar soldiers?" Are they all near the grain and grass? ”
"That's not it." Chang Yuchun replied: "The Tartar soldiers will be divided into four groups, and they will rotate to guard the grain and grass, and they will rotate every two hours. After a pause, he added: "However, the head of the thousand households of the Tartar soldiers is always guarding the grain and grass warehouse. ”
"Are there only two hundred Tartars guarding the grain and grass?" Xie Wuji's eyes flashed slightly, and he asked again, "What about the rest of the Tartar soldiers?" Where are they stationed? How far is it from grain and grass? ”
Chang Yuchun's investigation was still very detailed, and he replied without thinking: "The remaining Tartar soldiers are all stationed in the barracks in the north of the city, and the grain and grass are in the grain and grass warehouse in the east of the city, and the two are not close to each other. ”
"That's ......" Xie Wuji was silent, but his eyes were getting brighter and brighter, as if he had thought of some countermeasure.
Seeing this, Liu Ju and Chang Yuchun didn't dare to disturb and quietly waited for Xie Wuji's countermeasures.
In the conference hall, it became silent, and Liu Ju's slightly rough wheezing sound due to excitement could be heard clearly.
After a cup of tea, Xie Wuji still meditated and did not make a sound, which made Liu Ju anxious, and he endured it again and again, but he still couldn't help it, and urged: "I said, Brother Xie, what good way have you thought of, say it, and let us help you staff together." "In the past, of course, Liu Ju would not be so uncalm, but this time it was different. If he can really take away the grain and grass of Mengyuan in Huaiyuan City this time, Liu Juke will be in the Jumu Banner, or even in the Five Elements Banner, and he will show his face greatly, this is the first one since the Five Elements Banner resisted the Yuan, so he can't help but be excited.
Xie Wuji swept towards the two of them slightly, and said with a smile: "My method is very simple, that is, to find a way to eat the eight hundred Tartar soldiers stationed in the military camp first." ”
"How is that possible?" Chang Yuchun whispered: "If these eight hundred Tartar soldiers are so easy to eat, what are we still discussing here?" Just do it. ”
Liu Ju also didn't believe it, and felt that Xie Wuji was really a little whimsical, and if he said it, he didn't say it, and opened his mouth in amazement, not knowing what to say.
The corners of Xie Wuji's mouth curled up with a wicked smile, and he said with a smile: "In a head-to-head battle, even if you can win, it will only be a tragic victory for both sides." But we can think of something else......"
"This ......" often meets the spring's heart, and seems to have an understanding.
Liu Ju blurted out: "Brother Xie, do you mean poisoning?" ”
"Not bad!" Xie Wuji nodded his head, the evil smile on the corner of his mouth was even worse, and he pretended to laugh at himself: "Two brothers, you must know that our Ming Sect, in the eyes of people, is not a famous and decent family, but a demon sect that everyone talks about. What about poisoning, as long as we can take down the Tartar soldiers at the lowest cost, why don't we do it? ”
"Not bad." Liu Ju was overjoyed and said, "Brother Xie, you still have a flexible brain." You're right, we're not those decent hypocrites, as long as we can do the Tartar soldiers, we'll poison them, haha......"
"Celebrities and decencies are not all hypocrites, it seems that I am also a well-known and decent family, okay......" Xie Wuji glanced at Liu Ju a little helplessly, but he also knew that he had no intentions, so he could only mutter to himself in his heart.
"Brother Xie, what did you just say?" Chang Yuchun didn't know what to think, and whispered in surprise: "You said 'we Mingjiao', so you finally agreed to join us?" ”
"This ......" Xie Wuji smiled bitterly, and then he reacted, and just said it on a whim, and he actually said what he thought in his heart.
When Liu Ju heard this, he was also overjoyed, and he didn't give Xie Wuji a chance to explain at all, and laughed: "Okay! Manly man, a mouthful of spit, a nail. Brother Xie, since you have already said it, then this matter is settled, don't think about regretting it. Otherwise, the brothers won't have to do it, haha......" he said, and couldn't help laughing again.
Xie Wuji didn't deny it anymore, got off the donkey down the slope, and admitted the matter of joining the Ming Sect, and said with a wry smile: "If you join, you can join." However, two brothers, I can say in advance that if one day, my background is exposed and I cause any trouble, don't blame me for not warning you. ”
When Liu Ju and Chang Yuchun heard this, they were even more overjoyed, and they didn't pay attention to the second half of Xie Wuji's sentence at all. If you don't have to wait for something serious, you have to pull Xie Wuji to drink 300 cups to celebrate, and not get drunk.
Then, the three of them discussed the details of the operation in a low voice, and then went down to prepare.
And when Xie Wuji officially joined the Ming Sect and the news of joining them spread, everyone applauded and was excited up and down the cottage. However, the big war was approaching, and they also had no time to celebrate, and under the command of Liu Ju and Chang Yuchun, they all reorganized and battled.
A blue moon is embedded in the night sky like a black screen, and the bright moonlight pours out on the world, and the black world is plated with a layer of silver light veil. The ancient Huaiyuan City, in this dark night, was like a huge monster, exuding a terrifying aura, and the wind seemed to smell the smell of blood.
In a dilapidated earthen house in the north of the city, Xie Wuji, Liu Ju, and Chang Yuchun were all dressed in black, with red ribbons on their arms and grim faces.
Liu Ju's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said with a low smile: "Brother Xie, according to your meaning, we have placed the special drug of the flood flag in several wells in the barracks, which are colorless and tasteless, and the Tartar soldiers will definitely not be able to find it." Calculate the time, now those Tartar soldiers should be sleeping soundly, hehe......"
Xie Wuji nodded his head and said in a low voice: "I have the best light work, for the sake of insurance, let me go in first to investigate the situation." If I haven't returned for a stick of incense, it means that the matter is done, and you will take your brothers to kill it again. After a pause, he admonished: "Two brothers, remember, try not to make a sound. ”
"Good! You should be careful......" Liu Ju and Chang Yuchun glanced at each other, and neither had any opinion on Xie Wuji's approach. At the same time, he did not forget to remind Xie Wuji to be careful.
Xie Wuji smiled proudly, and without the slightest movement, he left the earthen house silently and disappeared into the vast night.
In the military camp north of the city, quietly, it was thought that the effect of the drug had already taken effect. Only the two small groups of soldiers guarding the gate and patrolling the camp can barely stay awake, but they are also yawning and beating their spirits. Although they also felt strange about their own state, they didn't expect to be poisoned for a while.
Xie Wuji took a little effort, and solved the two small teams of Yuan soldiers silently. Subsequently, he carefully inspected the various camp tents and found that all the Yuan soldiers were asleep, so he completely relieved himself and muttered to himself: "This flood flag's drug is really good." However, these Yuan soldiers don't have any martial arts foundation, but I don't know if the effect will be so good if they are against those people in the rivers and lakes......"
Not long after, Liu Ju and Chang Yuchun quietly came with more than 200 Jumuqi disciples, all with hideous faces, and the 800 yuan soldiers in the military camp were strangled silently in their sleep. Speaking of which, these Meng Yuan elites are really wronged to die, but who let them not see the power of the flood flag drug.
Xie Wuji, Liu Ju and Chang Yuchun looked at each other and smiled, and they all saw excitement and bloodlust in each other's eyes. At the same time, the three of them also know very well that this is just the beginning, and the real big war is still to come......
