Fenghua, somewhere along the county river.

A large number of soldiers were conducting drills along the river, and on the shooting range in the distance, the soldiers were also following the officer's orders to shoot at distant targets.

However, this kind of drill filled the people of Fenghua who lived along the river with fear, and the women who came to wash their clothes by the river on weekdays no longer went out, and the fishermen no longer went out of the boat, and everyone hid in their homes, looking out through the cracks in the door from time to time, for fear that this so-called drill would turn into a real battle in an instant, and their homes would become ruins on the battlefield.

A guard stood under the banner of the "Fenghua New Army" on the bank of the river, staring across the river.

"Rest, rest!" The panting Chen Bozhong ran from a distance, followed by his own adjutant and guard platoon, but except for Chen Bozhong, everyone's faces did not change, after all, they were just running from the headquarters residence, and it was only three miles away.

Chen Bozhong, who was running and panting, leaned against a willow tree and gasped, grabbed the kettle handed by the guards and drank it in a big gulp.

Adjutant Ma Xiaotian stood on one side with his waist crossed: "Commander, you don't need to practice with the team, you better rest, I'm watching below." ”

Chen Bozhong took the boiling kettle: "No! Chief of Staff Hu said that officers and men are treated equally, and I, as a commander, must take the lead in order to boost morale, and we are now a new army, not the local security regiment that we used to be. ”

Ma Xiaotian patted his ass: "Commander, look at how high the morale of the brothers is now, you are all under your leadership, and ...... under your leadership."

"Shut up! Don't pat me on the back! What I lead, if it weren't for Chief of Staff Hu, we would all be a rabble now. Chen Bozhong still has self-knowledge, "The earth is the earth, how long has it been?" trained Lao Tzu's team to look good, and the common people no longer came to complain that there were soldiers and bandits, and Lao Tzu had both inside and outside. ”

Ma Xiaotian still didn't give up patting: "Chief of Staff Hu is indeed powerful, but the brothers still follow you loyally." ”

Chen Bozhong frowned: "The current method of training the new army, according to Chief of Staff Hu, is a bit similar to the Whampoa Military Academy in Guangzhou. ”

Ma Xiaotian said disdainfully: "Then what are the raw melons and eggs in the Whampoa Military Academy, they are all student soldiers, what do they know?" ”

"Student soldiers? What do you know? Chen Bozhong sneered, "Chen Jiongming's Cantonese army claims to have 100,000 people, while those student soldiers in Huangpu are only a few thousand at best, and it is those thousands of student soldiers who beat Chen Jiongming's so-called elite all over the ground." Remember, underestimating the enemy is a taboo! ”

Ma Xiaotian hurriedly changed his words: "In the past, there was Yuan Shikai's small station training, and now there is a commander who trains the new army." ”

Chen Bozhong said: "Get out! ”

Although he said that he was going to out, Chen Bozhong still couldn't hide the joy on his face.

At this moment, five fast horses galloped over, Chen Bozhong looked up and found that it was Rong Pingye who was caught in it.

Rong Pingye on the horse was exhausted, but when he was still about ten meters away from the tree, he pulled the horse to stop, turned over and dismounted, knelt directly on the ground, and shouted: "Pingye is ashamed of the commander, and he can't escape the blame, and he only wants to die and apologize." ”

Chen Bozhong hiccuped: "Okay, then you will die." ”

Rong Pingye was stunned, he didn't expect that he was polite, Chen Bozhong really let himself die?

Rong Pingye immediately said: "Commander, although I am responsible for this matter, I have fallen for the trick set up by Sun San and Fu Guodong from the beginning. ”

Chen Bozhong interrupted him: "Pull away and die, dig a deep pit and bury it, and then step on it after filling the soil, don't throw it into the river, pollute the river water, and the people will drink and have diarrhea." ”

"Commander! Commander! When Rong Pingye was dragged away by two soldiers, he screamed and struggled desperately.

"Wait!" An old voice came, and when everyone turned around, they saw Hu Shen, who was riding a donkey and flicking two empty sleeves, walking slowly from behind the bushes, and in front of him there was a child leading a donkey.

Hu Shen did not wear a military uniform, but was dressed as a Taoist, with that ruddy complexion, like an immortal who had just descended to earth, and then looked at the child in front of him was also dressed as a Taoist child, carrying a bamboo basket on his back, which contained many strange objects, and a whisk next to it.

Chen Bozhong immediately greeted him: "Chief of Staff Hu, why are you here, didn't you say that you are going to retreat today?" ”

Chen Bozhong and that Daotong helped Hu Shen get off the donkey, and Hu Shen said: "Commander, don't deal with Rong Pingye first, I have something to ask him." ”

Chen Bozhong waved his hand, and the two soldiers immediately dragged Rong Pingye to him.

Rong Pingye looked at Hu Shen in surprise: "Are you the eight-armed Arhat Hu Shen?" ”

Hu Shen said lightly: "It's here, I didn't expect to see Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and the land on this occasion, the wide-eyed king Rong Pingye, and the elder brother Rong, it's really unfortunate." ”

Rong Pingye looked at Hu Shen carefully, how could he not see that this old man was eighty years old, and he only looked like he was about sixty years old, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was fifty years old, could he really know any spells?

And Hu Shen is still so mean, what is really unfortunate?

However, I am indeed unlucky, Rong Pingye gritted his teeth and thought that he was first defeated by Hu Shen's apprentice, but when he returned to his master, he found that there were more enemies of the master by his side, etc., no.

Rong Pingye thought of something, and immediately said to Chen Bozhong: "Commander, there is fraud in this matter, Tang Anshu's appearance in Yongcheng is not an accident, although I have no evidence, I can also speculate that it was arranged by Hu Shen!" ”

Hu Shen was not panicked: "Anshu was indeed arranged by me, and the set set set by Sun San for you, Tie Peiwen and Fu Guodong was also taught to him by me." ”

After hearing this, Rong Pingye hurriedly said: "Commander, you heard it, Hu Shen admitted it himself." ”

Chen Bozhong's face was calm: "You are an unqualified bait." ”

"Bait?" Rong looked at Chen Bozhong in surprise, as if he understood something, "Commander, do you know about this?" ”

Hu Shen stared at Rong Pingye: "Brother Rong, please write down all the information you know, the deployment of Yongcheng City Defense, Fu Guodong's detailed troops, etc., I have worked hard." ”

After speaking, Hu Shen nodded to Chen Bozhong, stepped on the back of the child lying on the ground, and at the same time, with the help of Chen Bozhong, rode on the donkey and left.

When Hu Shenyuan went, Chen Bozhong glared at Rong Pingye and said, "Do you know what to do?" Then hold on. ”

The two soldiers dragged Rong Pingye away, and Rong Pingye struggled: "Commander, listen to me, don't believe Hu Shen, don't believe him!" ”

When Rong Pingye was dragged away, Chen Bozhong whispered: "Do you still need to remind me?" ”

●

In the No. B prison of the prison, Zhang Dingfeng, with the support of Zhu Yin, slowly walked out of the cave, moving his limbs.

"Tie Peiwen and Huang Panshan are dead." Zhu Yin stood on the side, carefully observing the other inmates in Prison B, "What are you going to do in the future?" ”

Zhang Dingfeng turned his head and glanced at Zhu Yin: "What should I do?" ”

After speaking, Zhang Dingfeng smiled, his face was full of confident smiles, and he didn't have the appearance of the dog-legged slave in the past, as if the soul of another person was reloaded into his body.

"According to the original plan, Tie Peiwen died well, he should be more useful than Rong Pingye, no matter what, he also helped me hide from everyone before he died." Zhang Dingfeng said with a smile, "At the last moment, he didn't forget to transfer me to Prison B, which means that he knows very well what the role he plays when he is dying. ”

Zhu Yin walked up behind him and asked, "What's next?" ”

"Prison break." Zhang Dingfeng smiled, "But before leaving, you have to bring a few people to pick up something with me." ”

Zhu Yin frowned: "What is it?" ”

Zhang Dingfeng lifted the gourd that drank water: "Put the fierce beast into the gourd and bring it to the world." ”

After speaking, Zhang Dingfeng grinned.

In the chamber of the prison, Sun San stood with Gu Feng, Tang Anshu, Benzoin, and Le Zhengxian, looking at the thousands of bags wrapped in horse skins on the ground.

Benzoin explained: "All the equipment is in a thousand machine bags, and the outside is wrapped in horse skin, and the horse skin is soaked in a potion made from the sharp thorns on the tail of the sea rat, so that we can pass through the corpse wind cave safely, and when we enter the sea cave below, we take out the horse skin and burn it with fire oil, so that we can avoid taking the corpse wind down." ”

Sun San squatted down and looked at the strange thousand machine bags, on the surface, it was just a leather bag slanted behind him, but there were countless hidden compartments in it, which could hold all kinds of objects several times more than the visual inspection.

Sun San raised his eyes and asked, "Just the three of you?" I'll let Bosamadhi go with you. ”

Gu Feng immediately refused: "Dashuai, if I leave, there will be Samadhi left by your side, and he must accompany you." ”

Sun San frowned: "However, only the three of you will go, I don't worry, you can choose five more elite soldiers to go together." ”

Gu Feng looked at Le Zhengxian, who had been silent: "Brother Le Zheng? ”

Le Zhengxian shook his head: "I can't go, if I go, who is responsible for the liaison with Yongcheng?" Who is responsible for obtaining information externally? Now that intelligence is the top priority, I have to find a way to figure out what Chen Bozhong's next plan is, and if he wants to attack the city, how will he attack it? If you want to besiege the city, what kind of siege method? ”

Sun San looked at Tang Anshu: "Sir, if you are Hu Shen, what will you do next?" ”

Tang Anshu shook his head: "I won't think about it, let alone dare to think about it." ”

Sun San was puzzled: "Why?" ”

Tang Anshu explained: "After all, what I am facing is my master, and I was taught by him. The apprentice may not know what Master is thinking, but he may know what I am going to do, which is one of the reasons why he dared to bring me into the game. Under the premise that the situation is compelling, if I am in a hurry to figure out his mind and speculate on his next step, I will fall into his trap. ”

Sun San nodded: "I see, that's why you want to ask for reinforcements." ”

Tang Anshu said again: "If the apprentice and the master are in a competition, they have to give ten moves, and if the apprentice and the master lead the army, they have to give ten miles." Moreover, the soldiers are treacherous, completely according to the books, on the contrary, they can't find the law of war, because there are no rules for marching and fighting, so to deal with my master, it is still handed over to my best friend Cai Qianqing. ”

Gu Feng asked curiously: "Is Cai Qianqing very powerful?" ”
