Chapter 187: The old man resigns
Zhao Tianbao's analysis of the situation can be described as concise and to the point, and the unfavorable situation in which the "Flying Dragon Gang" is located can be clearly explained in a few sentences.
The countermeasures he put forward for strict internal defense and external reconnaissance are also the best methods in the current situation, and they are not only from a high position, but also have precise and targeted goals.
Coupled with the last two concluding sentences, he grasped the weaknesses of Cheng Zhong and the Wusun people, and let Liu Qiankun see the hope of victory in the battle.
After listening to Zhao Tianbao's words, Liu Qiankun's spirits were greatly lifted, and his mood also took a 180-degree turn, turning cloudy to sunny.
I saw him smiling and widening his eyes, carefully looking at the handsome and dashing white-faced scholar in front of him, and he felt a lot of emotion in his heart:
"This person seems to be a scholar, but he turns out to be extremely intelligent, and he has a strategy in his chest.
It seems that I thought it was right to save this person in the first place, but he was the one sent by God to help me.
If this person really helps, why worry about the hegemony?"
Thinking of this, he grinned widely, "haha" and laughed:
"Oh, listen to your words, let me open my mouth.
It seems that the old man is clumsy, he has not learned through the truth of heaven for decades, and he can only be regarded as a teacher or two when he encounters a major event today.
The two items you put forward are very appealing to my appetite, but in your opinion, how can I implement them?"
"The helper is praised!
In my opinion, this matter of defending the gate is easy to do, and the helper simply arranges a battalion to be stationed directly on both sides of the entrance of the secret passage, and arranges a ten-person squad every time to take turns on duty, so that there is no worry.
It is difficult to go out to reconnoitre, so Feng Yimeng can be released, let him make meritorious contributions to his crimes, and lead dozens of people out.
At the same time, he recommended himself and led dozens of people out.
I don't know what to do?"
Zhao Tianbao pretended to be thinking and said.
In fact, these lines are almost all arranged by Cheng Zhong, and Zhao Tianbao is just an excellent actor.
The reason why Zhao Tianbao proposed to release Feng Yimeng was also to figure out Liu Qiankun's intentions.
Liu Qiankun was overjoyed when he heard this, and stood up with some excitement and said:
"Ho ho, okay, as long as Tian Bao Ken personally goes out, this matter will definitely be done.
As for Feng Yimeng, it's okay to let him out this time, but you can't give him military power yet, everything is under your full command, and you alone have the final say.
I'll arrange the defense, get ready the wine and meat, and wait for you to come back in triumph!"
So far, the task assigned to Zhao Tianbao by Cheng Zhong has been half successful.
......
Cheng Zhong left Zhao Tianbao and his newly recognized younger brother Cheng Gu, and rushed to the Wusun Tianma tribe in a hurry.
Originally, he planned to rush back to the Pegasus enclave directly.
But after listening to Zhao Tianbao's news about the killing of more than a dozen women in Wusun, I thought of Brulali's mother and wanted to see what was going on.
In addition, he had asked Brulari to go back to the tribe to run errands, and by the way, he took Guo Huaijie to the Tianma enclave, and now that something like this has happened, he is a little worried about whether Brulari can complete the task.
It was just after noon, and Cheng Zhong had already arrived in the wooden building area.
The tribal guards in charge of patrolling saw the figure of the angel early, and they did not dare to meet it directly, but slowly gathered together and followed the angel's horse.
Cheng Zhong walked non-stop past the small building where he had lived for nearly a month, and with a sweep of his eyes, he found that the rattan grass planted on the ground had jumped out of its old height, and the longest vine tip had climbed up the handrail on the second floor.
Coming directly to the wooden building where the ancestral grandmother lived, Cheng Zhong tightened the reins, turned over and dismounted.
As he strode into the room, Grandma Grandma and Burrali, whose eyes were red and swollen, raised their heads in astonishment.
The first time Cheng Zhong saw Brulari, he already understood that she must have lost her dear mother.
"Lord Angel!"
"Brother Angel!"
The voices of two women, one old and one young, came out almost simultaneously.
When the grandmother was still struggling to turn over and kneel, Brulali had already knelt in front of Cheng Zhong, hugged his thigh and cried bitterly.
Cheng Zhong didn't know how to comfort her, but slowly bent down, hugged her head with both hands, and muttered:
"Sister, sister, I know everything, I'm here for this matter, this revenge must be avenged, report it immediately!"
The two of them remained in this position until Brularie's crying voice faded down.
Thinking of her current identity, she is no longer an ordinary Wusun woman, but a general of the new army who is responsible for the heavy responsibility, Cheng Zhong, not only her younger brother, but the supreme commander of tens of millions of Wusun people and the army, Brulali controlled her emotions and stood up with tears in her eyes.
"I'm sorry, my mother was killed by the 'Flying Dragon Gang', I just returned to the tribe and encountered such a thing, delaying your military order, causing you to come in person, the little woman asked the angel to surrender!"
Brulari is colorful.
"Alas, my mother's funeral is a big deal, my sister's task is not very urgent, and it is not a big deal to delay for two days. ”
Cheng Zhong grabbed Bullali's hand in distress.
"Lord Angel, don't talk patronizingly, please sit down, old man...... The old body has something to say!"
Grandma Grandma said loudly.
Cheng Zhong looked back and saw that the old man was kneeling in place, staring at him with a pair of cloudy old eyes.
He let go of Brularie's hand, walked quickly to the old man and sat down, and pushed the old man's arm, motioning for her to sit down and speak.
Who knew that the ancestral grandmother didn't pay attention to it, and still knelt tenaciously.
"Grandma, please tell me if you have something to say, I have already said it, you and I don't have to be formal. ”
Cheng Zhong said with a complaining tone.
"Lord Angel, this time is different, please allow me to speak on my knees!"
"What do you mean, grandma?"
"Lord Angel, the old body is guilty, please surrender your guilt immediately and remove me from the position of leader!"
"Oh, grandma, the big war is coming, we can't mess with ourselves.
Besides, there is a need for manpower everywhere now, aren't you a good leader?"
"Lord Angel, you just left, leaving so many guards for my tribe, it is said that there should not be a fire in the backyard.
Who knew that if we didn't notice it for a while, the 'Wyvern Gang' took advantage of the loophole and touched our core place.
All these aside, the most painful and regrettable thing is that with hundreds of people against a dozen people, as the leader, I was timid and indecisive in the face of battle, resulting in the tragic death of more than a dozen innocent women, while the leader of the enemy escaped.
Such a despicable act made it difficult for the old body to sleep and eat for nearly two days, and he had the heart to die!
If the angel really thinks about the Wusun people, if he really thinks about the old body, please order it immediately!"
Speaking of this, the old man kept kowtowing, and sticky tears flowed from the old man's eyes.
"Oh...... This ......"
Listening to the grandmother of the ancestor said so earnestly, Cheng Zhong was really moved.
His mind began to ponder.
Choosing a new leader is not an easy task, and the most suitable person is none other than Grandpa Yaruqi, but he is currently training the "Tiger Army", and he can't leave it for a while.
Secondly, the more suitable candidate is the Brulari in front of her.
But she was too young and not prestigious, she had just learned to be the general of the new army, and she had no experience in leading tribes or fighting the enemy, so it seemed too heavy to put this burden on her, and it was really not reassuring.
In addition, she has just lost her mother, and her emotions are still unstable, and she doesn't know if she can cope with emergencies.
As for the others, it's not suitable at all.
Now, Cheng Zhong felt that there were too few people available, which made him fall into hard thought.
He stood up dazedly and began to walk up and down the open space of the room, which was not covered with sheepskins.
After a long time, he stopped and spoke, but asked about something else:
"Grandma, when is the funeral?"
When the old leader heard this, his mind couldn't turn around for a while.
"Report Angel...... Brother, now the bodies of my mother and those who died with me are still in the cellar, and it is not decided when to be cremated. ”
Brulari replied quickly.
"Do you have any special funeral ceremonies here?" Cheng Zhong asked.
"It doesn't seem to be a ritual, I don't know, grandparents know. ”
Cheng Zhong and Brulari turned their gaze to the old man again.
"Ahem, yes, cremation is generally arranged by the tribal organization, first the deceased is placed in a pile of timber, and then a simple ceremony is held, relatives and some acquaintances of the same age are called to participate, and the priest is asked to recite the sutra and then light the fire. ”
Grandma Ancestor said slowly.
"How do you determine the date of cremation?" Cheng Zhong asked.
"Well, there's nothing special about it. ”
"Well, in that case, since it's a special period, the sooner the funeral, the better, and it's best to arrange it right away, and finish it before dark today.
It is necessary to convene all tribal elders and heads of schools, hospitals, and other units as much as possible to participate.
At the funeral I will speak and announce the new tribal leader. ”
Cheng Zhong said resolutely.
