Along the lower reaches of the Long River, the Xiong Army camp.

Xiong Zhuangzhuang threw the military newspaper on the leather elephant table, and said angrily: "Look at it! Look at it! The dragon shovel has won the battle again!"

"He won the battle, why are you angry!" Pippi is like Zhong Ding and cocked his thighs, and the old god is in the way.

Xiong Zhuangzhuang slapped the table and said: "Trouble tell me, when can I also fight, fight a big battle! Every day is either training or patrolling! Catch some bandits and bandits with chickens and dogs! Waste Lao Tzu's time! Waste Lao Tzu's feelings! Except when we first came to garrison, we fought with Han Gongting a few times without itching, and then we never moved again! Oh, if people don't come to the door, you really stay at home? Are you worthy of your fat body when you do this!"

Zhong Dinghe said with a smile: "Long Yuandong is the vanguard, and his task is to attack, so he can only make meritorious contributions by fighting." But we are the bottom line, and guarding this net is the greatest credit. If the enemy doesn't come to fight, isn't that a happy leisure? You can make meritorious contributions by sitting at home and sleeping!"

"Set up a fart attack! What kind of meritorious service is this? Lao Tzu is embarrassed to say!" Xiong Zhuang slammed onto the table and said, "I don't care, you must give me the Tiger Talisman for transferring troops today! If you don't fight, Lao Tzu will lead the troops to fight by himself!"

"Ouch! I don't give it to you, what's the matter?" Zhong Dinghe turned around like dough, his two thick and short thighs were still high, and he said disapprerovantly: "Muscle man, don't show off your muscles with me every day! You are the boss, but I am also the deputy marshal! Yun Tianjia divided the talisman into two pieces, one for you and one for me, just to prevent you from recklessly doing bad things! See no! The tiger talisman is on me, why don't you grab it?"

"It's really boring!" Xiong Zhuangzhuang saw that the trick was ineffective, jumped off the table happily, and said: "If you really want to rob, you two fat people combined, you are not an opponent! But Lao Tzu is also a person with status, and it is not uncommon to do anything with you! I am really too lazy to talk nonsense with you, and I am gone!"

"Wait!" Zhong Dinghe suddenly smiled, took off the tiger talisman from his waist, slapped it on the table, and said: "This tiger talisman is not impossible to give to you! Anyway, as long as Long Yuandong wins the battle at Niangniangba, the enemy will inevitably be crushed for thousands of miles, and hundreds of thousands of enemy troops will flock to us, even if we don't want to fight, we won't be able to." ”

Xiong Zhuangzhuang didn't reach out to take the tiger talisman, and said in disbelief: "Do you really want to give me the tiger talisman? How can you be sure that Long Yuandong will definitely win?"

"I don't know if Long Yuandong can win, I only know that Yun Tianjia has never miscalculated. Zhong Dinghe said triumphantly: "You want the tiger talisman, come, take it!"

Xiong Zhuangzhuang looked at the tiger talisman with a disbelieving face, feeling as if there was some trap waiting for him, carefully looked at the eyes of the leather elephant, suddenly laughed, and said: "I grass! This move is really powerful, I was almost deceived by you! Tiger talisman, I want to decide!" While being on guard, he quickly picked up the tiger talisman and took three steps back.

Unfortunately, nothing unexpected happened.

Xiong Zhuangzhuang was a little dissatisfied in his heart, and said: "You kid is really unprincipled! I'm so disappointed in you!"

"Is it true? In principle, it costs a pound a lot, can you eat it?" Zhong Ding took out a gold invitation like a treasure, spread it out on the table, and said: "If you want to fight desperately, then you will fight." But let me remind you, no matter if you lose or win, someone will come to you to settle accounts. I'm different, I took this invitation to eat and drink, how to say it, it's also a public service, eat well, drink well, and when I come back, the deputy marshal can be promoted to the chief marshal. ”

Xiong Zhuangzhuang said with contempt: "Who hasn't drunk wine? Just like this, you want to shake my will? Moreover, this time I just went to fight the Forest Ranger Hall and Animal Power Hall under the banner of Han Gongting's Houtu Altar, how could I lose? I can't even clean up this kind of third-rate troops, and I'm still playing a fart! As long as I win the battle, at most the merits and demerits will be offset, Yun Tianjia will never remove my commander! Besides, if you go to eat wine, you can eat wine, and what do you say about doing official things?"

Zhong Dinghe said with a smile: "The position of the coach, I guess you don't care very much." But Miss Xianghe, I also like it very much. I'm invited to a banquet this time, will she come and toast me?"

"What did you say?" Xiong Zhuangzhuang's eyes widened, and he said, "Is it an invitation from Xiangheji?"

"It's our old classmate, Pure Fox Qiu Nuan!" Zhong Dinghe knew that he had successfully aroused Xiong Zhuangzhuang's interest, and his smile was even brighter.

"Pure Fox Qiu Nuan, isn't he from Dongmu Country? Why did he come to us? How did he get in touch with Xianghe Jiebi? And what kind of invitation did he send for no reason?" Xiong Zhuangzhuang took a few steps back and looked at the invitation.

Zhong Dinghe closed the invitation and said, "Put down the tiger talisman first." ”

Xiong Zhuangzhuang dropped the tiger talisman indifferently, sat on the table, and said with a flattering face: "Hehe, brother, what the hell is going on?"

Zhong Dinghe hurriedly put away the tiger talisman and said with satisfaction: "This invitation was sent by Miss Xiaobi from the pure fox Qiu Nuan." It is said that most of the trade between Xiangheji and Dongmu is related to the Pure Fox Qiu Nuan family. After Xiangheji transported glass, tea, raw silk, gunpowder, fur and other things to Dongmu Country, the Chunhu Qiunuan family distributed the goods to the whole country. Chunhu Qiu Nuan has no intention of politics and does not want to join the army, so in recent years, he has begun to take care of the family's business, and he has met Xianghe Jiebi. Half a year ago, through the relationship between Xianghe Jiebi and Luo Erniang, Chunhu Qiunuan asked people to go to Jianzhou on the south bank of Lotus Xiangwu to buy land, buy land and build buildings, and raise beautiful relatives, and more than ten days ago, the family moved over. ”

"Pure Fox Qiu Nuan is really a rusty brain, and he doesn't do it with a good general, but he specializes in doing some trivial small business, and he is careful every day, what's the point?" Xiong Zhuangzhuang said disdainfully: "Besides, our country is now fighting everywhere, the soldiers are in danger, and the people's hearts are in turmoil, since he doesn't even dare to do it, why does he dare to risk coming here?

"I don't want to be a general, and I don't dare to be a general, but it's very different. Zhong Dinghe shook his head and said: "Moreover, Xiangheji's business is so big, how can his pure fox Qiu Nuan's business be so small? He moved his family to Jianzhou, naturally in order to make his business better and more solid. I heard Xiaobi girl say that the pure fox Qiu Nuan received the news of Long Yuandong's victory in Lianghekou and Yeniugou, judging that the war situation in our country has reached an inflection point, regardless of whether Long Yuandong can win the battle of Niangniang Dam or not, the national war is already on the verge of breaking out. Therefore, he mobilized all the resources under his name in Dongmu Kingdom, made every effort to purchase grain, and transported it to Jianzhou by ship through Xiangheji and Lotus Lotus Dock. Think about it, what if so much food is robbed by mountain bandits? ”

Xiong Zhuangzhuang patted his leg and praised: "This guy has a good calculation. The grain is shipped over, and there is no need to worry about the market. As the war continues, everyone suffers, but he benefits. With our strength, we can easily make a fortune. This banquet is well organized! I'm going to blackmail him for anything! By the way, will she go to Miss Xiaobi?"

Zhong Dinghe rolled his eyelids and teased: "Having said so much, don't you just care about Miss Xiaobi? If she doesn't go to the banquet, you won't be interested in seeing Chunhu Qiunuan!"

"I can't say that!" Xiong Zhuang said with a sneer: "If I can digest all the grain that Pure Fox Qiu Nuan transported, it will also be a great achievement." Xiaobi also wants to see it, and she has to take the food, and the beauty and money are not wrong!"

......

Southern Theater of Operations, west of the Xiang River in Huazhou.

King Xuan's Great Tent.

He Zhanxi overturned the table, roared and scolded, furious!

"Waste!

"Just one Xiangshui Hall, three or four times, more than 10,000 people died, and I still can't take it down!"

"How many heads does Han Gongting have? Why can't you kill him?"

"How many troops does the Long Far East have? In the face of an army of more than 100,000 people who heard the words of the people, they fought a succession of victories! They forcibly crossed the mouth of the two rivers and forcibly broke into the Bison Valley, killing 40,000 or 50,000 enemies and recovering several hundred miles of lost territory within a few days! And what about us? Along the Xiang River, Han Gongting only had 70,000 or 80,000 troops! Just one Xiangshuitang, one rocket army, and one Qianlong army! Our 80,000 elite northern army, supplemented by hundreds of thousands of government and county soldiers, was actually blocked by a small Xiang River!

"You all get out of here! Go fight again! Within ten days, if you don't cross the Xiang River, I want your heads!"

The generals trembled and withdrew from the tent with a sad face.

Seeing that the fire in Hezhan Creek was almost complete, the general Baili Mu ordered someone to bring two things and offered advice: "Lord Wang! I have received accurate news, the reason why Long Yuandong's attack on Wenrenyu went so smoothly was because of these two secret weapons. This one is an explosive pack, and this one is a grenade, which is easy to use and extremely powerful! An explosive bag explodes, and its lethality is equivalent to the full force of a fourth-order fire soul master! I have investigated in many ways, and it has been found that these two things are produced in the immortal tomb of Hanyuan County. ”

He Zhanxi said: "Since we already know the source, why don't we buy it in large quantities? Why don't you take the immortal tomb as my own? Who is this Hanyuan County on an errand, it is really bold! Obviously, there are good things, and they are sent to Long Yuandong, thousands of miles away, but they block the news from this king! Do you take this king in your eyes!"

Baili Mu said: "The prince is angry. As far as the minister knows, although the immortal tomb is in Hanyuan County, it is not under the jurisdiction of Hanyuan County, and is actually the territory of Princess He Xiaoduo. The person in charge there is called the Withered Leaf Zen Master, who is the general of the former Tianjia Army. The explosives packs and grenades they produced were all firearms improved by Yun Tianjia himself, so they kept them secret from us. ”

He Zhanxi snorted coldly: "My good niece, her hand is too long! After saying that she is in charge of the east and I am in charge of the south, she still left me a nail! You go and tell the dead leaves that the soldiers and civilians of the seven southern states are all under my command, and from today onwards, the immortal tomb will be merged into our army, and the various firearms produced by it can only be used by me! Those who do not agree will be killed!"
