Section 5 Just out of the tiger's mouth, and into the wolf's den (ask for recommendation)
Juan will not understand the truth of the cunning rabbit and the death of the lackey, as long as he is an official in the imperial court, he will understand this truth. Taiping was originally determined by the general, and the general was not allowed to see the peace.
To put it bluntly, Juan is afraid that the court will unload the mill and kill the donkey, once he exterminates Wulong Mountain, his role will be gone, and the officials in the state capital will not like him, and since ancient times, civil officials and military generals like to control each other. Juan must leave a way out for himself and take the opportunity to fight for his best interests.
Shen Mu knew the truth very well, so he told Juan such a story. In the eyes of the imperial court, Wulong Mountain is just a chicken to be slaughtered, and it can erase Wulong Mountain from history without much effort. But Wulong Mountain will be the "best partner" for Juan, as long as Wulong Mountain exists, there will be a need for a bandit hero like Juan.
Shen Mu gambled again, he knew that this bet would definitely win.
Sure enough, Juan laughed, and the laughter at this time came from the bottom of his heart, not a smile that was not worth caring about.
Juan said: "Your story is very interesting! It's a pity how do I know if those captive chicks will grow up to be eagles." ”
Shen Mu knew that Juan's concerns were not unreasonable. It's not uncommon to be tricked if you can't play Kou.
Shen Mu said: "If the general is followed, for Shen and the brothers, it is the grace of recreation, Shen is not talented, respect the general as a big brother, how can the younger brother harm the heart of the brother." What's more, the general's official residence in the future will be a product. The younger brother is no matter how capable he is, in the eyes of the general, he is not like an ant, at the mercy of his brother. ”
Juan smiled: "Listen to what you said, you are right, you and other grass people are just like ants in the eyes of the general." You can't fly out of my Five Finger Mountain. Juan took a sip of his wine and continued, "Tell me what to do next." ”
Shen Mu said: "As long as the general makes way to the left side of the mountain tonight, I and all the brothers in the cottage will disappear by ourselves, and Wulong Mountain will be self-defeating, and the general will be a great achievement." I promise that in the future, I will never go to the second Wulong Mountain, but the fourth dragon mountain, the third dragon mountain, and the second dragon mountain......"
When Juan heard this, he was very relieved. Juan is a smart person, and smart people naturally don't need to find out, so they can know the truth. Shen Mu is a master negotiator, with insight into people's hearts, in a word, such a conversation between two people is naturally very comfortable, and the two look at each other and smile. Juan raised his voice and said: "Okay, you kid is amazing, the general will rely on you, limit you to surrender overnight, if you don't come to surrender at sunrise tomorrow, I will raze Wulong Mountain to the ground." ”
This sentence is obviously for others to hear. When the centurion heard that there was no need to continue the attack today, they breathed a sigh of relief, and they didn't care at all what Juan and the others were talking about. Once the success is done, no one wants to be a white bone.
Shen Mu said: "Don't worry, general, I will persuade the brothers in the village to vote." ”
Juan said hello and greeted a personal soldier, "Send him back!"
The pro-soldier took the order and led Shen Mu out of the military formation.
Duan Chao has been wandering on the wall of the cottage since Shen Mu left the village. Shen Mu must not have anything to do, if Shen Mu dies, their rabble will become headless flies. Although he is the owner of the village, many ideas are decided by Shen Mu. At present, the black-armored elite soldiers are surrounded by the village, life and death are at a loss, and he has long run out of ideas.
The more he waited, the more anxious he became, the more confused he became, and there were more beads of sweat on his forehead than during the melee just now.
In the woods, there was a person, a young and handsome man. It's not Shen Mu, who else!
When Duan Chao saw it, he cried with joy, like a child waiting for his parents to get off work at the door of his house. Duan Chao hurriedly asked someone to open the gate of the village to greet Shen Mu.
Duan Chao grabbed Shen Mu's arm and choked up, "Strategist, you are back!"
When Shen Mu saw him like this, he couldn't help but laugh, a man with a bearded face, holding your hand and crying bitterly, always felt very disobedient. Shen Mu said: "Leader, didn't I say that we must be fine?"
Duan Chao wiped his tears and said, "Leader, what leader?"
Shen Mu knew that he was speechless, and he was used to calling his superiors on weekdays, but he didn't want to call out casually. At this time, the officers and soldiers would not continue to attack the village, and when they calmed down, they found that the voice of this world was actually the same as their own world.
Shen Mu was a little dazed, he was homesick for hundreds of miles, why did he come to this world and actually speak official Chinese, it was really strange. It wasn't until much later that he finally had an answer to this question. Of course, this is an afterword, a later story after he knows enough about the world.
Shen Mu said: "No, I want to take me around, we need to sort out this dry food, and after the middle of the night tonight, go down the mountain and run for your life." ”
A lean man squeezed forward, and Shen Mu knew that this person was the second person he saw when he opened his eyes, his name was Hou Cheng. It was originally a water phase in Xizhai, a person is not stupid, and he is as clever as a monkey, but compared to Shen Mulai, his wit is just a little clever with a lively brain.
Hou Chengdao: "Before the military division was not there, I had already taken my brothers to take a circle, and most of our houses in the village were burned clean, only some sweet potatoes and rice were still stored under the cellar in the west. They have all moved out for people to see. ”
When Shen Mu heard this, he said, "Brother Hou, you did a good job!"
Hou Cheng waved his hand again and again and said: "Strategist, don't make fun of us, we only have one big brother in this village." ”
Duan Chao coughed dryly and said: "The military advisor is our life-saving benefactor, how can the military advisor shout, how you can agree, who is the eldest brother, so what's the matter." ”
Hou Cheng scratched his head and said, "That can't be broken, the rules can't be broken." ”
Shen Mu said: "Yes, yes, it's my fault, I broke my head today, and I can't speak with my brain, so everyone is not strange." ”
Everyone laughed, and Duan Chao said: "Strategist, you just said that we can go down the mountain in the middle of the night to escape, but what did you say?"
Shen Mu said: "I negotiated with Juan, and he will leave us a way back." In the middle of the night, everyone just went out of the mountain with me. Before that, the dead brothers in the village were buried first, and then the dry food and water bags were packed, and the gold and silver were bringed, and this road was afraid that it would take a long time. As for the horses, let them stay in the village, lest they be frightened and attract attention. ”
Duan Chao said: "I'm afraid that the officials and soldiers won't make us out of the village, let's surround and annihilate it!"
Shen Mu said: "No, this is a reasonable deal, Juan should be tempted." ”
Duan Chao wanted to ask again, but he knew that since it was arranged by Shen Mu, he would have his own reason, and his own brother, if he still had many doubts, he would still get together and make a fortune. Although Duan Chao was reluctant to leave behind the cottage and the horses that he had worked hard to build for several years, he couldn't care about anything else if he could survive.
That night, everyone was ready and took advantage of the night to steal down the village. Along the way, I didn't encounter any obstacles. In front of it is where Juan's garrison is located, and in the camp, the bonfire is dazzling, and the black-armored soldiers, gathered in five or six clusters, gather around the bonfire, and sing happily.
In order to seek stability, Shen Mu ordered everyone to hide their figures, and he took Lu Laosan to explore the road from the left side of the army, and sure enough, there was no secret post on this road, it seems that Juan is hearty enough.
Eighty or ninety mountain bandits, tiptoeing, crawled along the mountain road on the left, and only after bypassing the military camp for more than a hundred zhang did they dare to bow their bodies and follow Shen Mu to find the way down the mountain. Obviously, the people of Wulong Mountain have been beaten by the military might of the Black Armor Army.
On the next way down the mountain, everyone ran as fast as they could, and some people wished they could give birth to four legs.
By the time the sun rose in the east, they had crossed two hills, crossed a wide river, and had been running wildly in the forest for a long time.
In order to survive, the potential that people can stimulate is truly infinite. At ordinary times, I climbed a mountain, and I was already out of breath and couldn't move.
Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, he actually ran forty or fifty miles.
The morning sun is eye-catching, the birds are flying, and the golden sunlight shines through the clouds and through the leaves, illuminating the mottled land of the yellow earth.
I don't know who it was, but it suddenly went soft to the ground, and then, more people collapsed.
Shen Mu felt that his legs were completely unintuitive, and his originally strong will suddenly collapsed when everyone was paralyzed. Poof, loaded on the ground.
I'm so tired that I want to sleep on the soft bed, and no one should come to me. Shen Mu had never run such a long distance, and the soles of his feet had already ground out blisters, the blisters were rotten, and they were stuck together in the linen shoes, which was very painful before, and he would have lost consciousness by this time.
The people in the cottage were also in general appearance at this time, beating their backs and rubbing their legs one by one, sighing. Fortunately, he finally escaped death, but no matter how tired he was, his heart was extremely happy.
The people were tired and their mouths were dry, and the people were paralyzed all over the ground. After a long rest, you will be able to speak.
Duan Chao climbed close to Shen Mu and said breathlessly: "Strategist, where should we go now?"
Shen Mu didn't know much about this world, if he knew where to stay, it would be better to ask the blind cat about the chance of running into a dead mouse.
Before Shen Mu could answer, he suddenly heard a burst of laughter in the forest, and the laughter was extremely sharp, like the slightest sound of taking off the sharpened willow leaves, and the piercing eardrums were about to burst.
Before the laughter fell, a middle-aged man dressed in colorful animal skins came from the depths of the forest, followed by two old men hunched over, two thin old men with wooden staffs, who seemed to fall to the ground if they were not very good.
When Duan Chao saw the visitor, he spat out thick phlegm and said: "Who should we be, it turned out to be the grandson of Heshanzhai, did you not hurt you earlier, and now you are dying again?"
Shen Mu didn't know who the person in front of him was, and Shen Mu's memory was diluted by Li Zihan's memory early on. Shen Mu pulled Hou Cheng over and asked, "Who is this person?"
Hou Cheng only thought that Shen Mu had broken his head and listened to his question. Hurriedly said: "Hey, don't you remember? This person's name is Yang Qian, and he was originally the top pillar of Heshan Cottage." Earlier, our Wulong Mountain and Heshan Cottage competed for hegemony and destroyed most of his village. His grandmother's road is narrow, but he didn't want to meet it this time. ”
When Shen Mu heard that the person opposite was the opponent of Wulong Mountain, he secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good. At this time, everyone was full of energy, and if they really fought, it would be really bad.
Yang Qian smiled, his voice was still sharp and ugly, Yang Qian said: "You are still hard-mouthed when you die, I want to see how many teeth you dogs have in your mouth!"
Duan Chao spat and said, "Yang Qian, don't be proud of Lao Tzu." With just the three of you, we can drown you with urine!"
Yang Qian said: "The most hateful thing in this world is a guy like you who doesn't know the height of the sky. If I hadn't been prepared, I wouldn't have waited for you here. Yang Qian put his finger in his mouth and whistled loudly.
Suddenly, the tiger roared and the wolf howled, and dozens of fierce beasts slowly came out of the forest in all directions, surrounding the people of Wulong Mountain.
The tiger is a white-fronted tiger, and the wolf is a gray-haired jungle wolf, with a few colorful leopards and two tusked wild boars.
The beasts in four directions, followed by four teenagers, holding piccolos in their hands, drove away the beasts.
When the four teenagers saw the two old men behind Yang Qian, they bowed slightly.
When everyone saw this light and shadow, their souls were already frightened, and they used their hands and feet together, crawled to Duan Chao's side, and gathered together. lest if you climb slowly, you will become the meat in the mouths of these beasts.
The corners of Yang Qian's mouth rose, he liked to see the lost souls of the people in Wulong Mountain, the more embarrassed the people in Wulong Mountain were, the more proud he was in his heart.
