Chapter 482: Ripples
Taoyu County is a big stage with countless eyes in focus.
Even the sand pirates knew that they couldn't just jump around on this stage, and they had to find a dressing room backstage to change their clothes and makeup.
Zhang Chu has no reason not to know.
The 5,000 members of the Taiping Society finally chose to set up camp in an unnamed valley fifty miles northeast of Taoyu County.
The Nameless Valley is not secretive.
In fact, within a radius of 100 miles from Taoyu County, there is no secret to speak of.
All forces are sending scouts and spies to comb through this not vast area like a comb, which is not a vast area, which forces are stationed where, and the other forces are all clear in their hearts.
Want to steal chickens?
No way!
are all old rivers and lakes who hunt all day long, and they can still be pecked by house sparrows?
As for Taoyu County, a hundred miles away...... Maybe you can find a relatively safe stationing point, but with a distance of more than 100 miles, let alone going to Taoyu County to kill someone, or going to Taoyu County for a meal, you can't catch up with the heat.
Zhang Chu didn't look at this nameless valley for anything else, just because this valley was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The valley is on high ground, and it is necessary to enter the valley through a gentle slope, and the entrance to the valley is not very spacious, so Sun Si'er led the brothers to build fortifications on both sides of the valley mouth, and erected dozens of bed crossbows, eight-ox crossbows, and a large number of fierce fire oil......
If there is a large group of men and horses to attack, it will be at least several times that of the Taiping Society to be able to break through this valley mouth.
If there is an expansive sea of qi and a bold attack by relying on the masters, the explosives bags lying in ambush on both sides of the valley will teach him how to be a man...... No, it's just sending him to the sky!
As for why Zhang Chu chose such an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack terrain to set up camp, who was guarding against it, it was obviously already a lice on a bald man's head - obviously!
......
By the time the mules arrived at the Nameless Valley, the moon had already climbed the treetops.
But the nameless valley was still full of bonfires, and the Red Flower Cousins, bare-chested in the night wind, used the light of the bonfires to concoct felled wood overnight.
By the light of the campfire, he also saw that there were a dozen or so wooden houses sparsely erected in the valley......
"Ouch, my mule brother, you're here!"
Sun Si'er, who rushed to hear the news, came up and dragged him to the big wooden house in the middle of the valley with two lights on: "The helper has been waiting for you to have dinner from sunset to now, and Da Liu has come to see you several times......
The mule was taken aback, and couldn't help but say, "I didn't say I was coming tonight?"
Sun Si'er: "The helper said that you saw the Sand Pirates' Human Head Tower, and you will definitely come over tonight." ”
The mule smiled, and the eldest brother was still the eldest brother......
The mule and Sun Si'er walked into the big wooden house side by side, and before they could speak, they smelled a faint smell of herbs.
He furrowed his brow.
Zhang Chu, who was bathing and changing clothes in the house, saw the mule coming in and said with a smile: "It's here." ”
He patted the armrest of his seat and stood up.
The mule stepped forward with an arrow, and stretched out his hands to help him from afar: "Why are you injured?"
Zhang Chu waved his hand and signaled that he was out of the way: "What's the matter, people are floating in the rivers and lakes, how can anyone not be stabbed?"
"You haven't eaten dinner yet, right? Da Liu, bring the food. ”
Da Liu's voice came from afar: "Hey." ”
After a while, the steaming meal was served.
Zhang Chu beckoned Da Liu and Hongyun to sit down and eat together.
"Has the situation changed since the Sand Pirates' Human Head Tower appeared outside Taoyu County today?"
Zhang Chu stretched out his hand to take the wine glass, but the mule quickly snatched the wine glass in front of him, Hongyun saw this and took a chicken leg into Zhang Chu's bowl, Zhang Chu picked it up directly, and asked casually while gnawing.
At the square table, Zhang Chu sat in front of the door, the mule sat alone on his left hand, Hongyun sat alone on his right, and Da Liu and Sun Si'er sat opposite him on a stool.
"There are changes. ”
Zhang Chu asked frankly, and the mule responded frankly: "I came here so late, just to find that Xiliang Wushilou was transferring troops and sending generals, and it seemed that there was an intention to attack Yanbei Seven Kills, and Yanbei Seven Kills did not sit still, they sent people to Wusheng Palace and Yanbei Shi Clan's three heroes...... Their balance has been broken, and I guess they will soon have a fight, and winning or losing will directly affect the big picture. ”
When the two of them were talking, Da Liu, Sun Si'er and Hongyun seemed to be inaudible, and Sun Si'er was still pulling Da Liu and shouting to make two punches.
The existence of Fengyun Tower has always been a secret.
But the identity of the mule is not top secret.
At least Zhang Meng, Sun Si'er, and Da Liu, the old people who followed Zhang Chu all the way from the Black Tiger Hall, always knew that the mule was still in charge of a secret group of people, and they were responsible for finding out all kinds of news.
They also knew that now their gang leader was talking to the mules about these things in their presence, so that they could bring one ear to listen......
Zhang Chu gnawed on the chicken leg and asked thoughtfully: "Is it the group between Yanbei Prefecture and Yanbei Prefecture, and the group between Xiliang Prefecture and Xiliangzhou?"
The mule shook his head slightly: "On the surface, that's the case, but I found that the Xiliang Warrior Building is very close to the Tianxing Alliance on the surface, but secretly it has dealings with the Wusheng Palace, and the three brothers of the Yanbei Shi clan are also like this, looking at the style of acting, they are the number of the Wusheng Palace, but they have fought with the Tianxing Alliance several times, and there have been no major casualties on both sides...... Interesting, you say, isn't it?"
Zhang Chu put the chicken leg stick bone on the table, and after pondering for a moment, he raised his eyebrows and smiled: "It's a little interesting!"
As far as he is concerned, the forces of the rivers and lakes in Uehara County, whether they divide the camp by the position of good and evil, or divide the camp by their regional hometown, are extremely unfavorable to him!
Because whether it is the position of good and evil, or the regional hometown, the camp formed is too strong, and it is difficult for him to insert it......
In that situation, once one of the parties decides that the power to suppress him, the pressure on him will be great.
Now so, it's much better!
It doesn't matter if it's good or evil.
It doesn't matter the region.
Everyone only fought around the control of the Xuanbei rivers and lakes......
He's so much less stressed!
This is where there are people, there must be rivers and lakes......
"Send more men and keep an eye on them, and if there is any disturbance, report it to me immediately!"
Zhang Chu said.
The mule nodded: "Understood!"
After a pause, Zhang Chu asked again: "Have the people who went to Xiliangzhou sent out?"
Mule: "Sent out, I received your news last night, the first brothers have already set out on the road, and now it is estimated that they have all entered the desert......"
They hadn't actually discussed it.
Last night's news was sent by Hongyun to the mules, only to report that Zhang Chu led a large group of men and horses to go to the sand pirates.
But when the mule received the news, his first reaction was that his eldest brother had exterminated such a large group of sand pirates, and the sand pirates would not give up, especially the real master of the sand pirates, Wang Zhenyi.
Zhang Chu also believed that this kind of thing didn't need him to mention, and the mule would also think of it and start the layout in advance.
Zhang Chu bowed his head: "A few more waves of people will go out, and all the transportation arteries between Xiliang Prefecture and our Xuanbei Prefecture will be stared to death...... I have studied the life of Wang Zhenyi, and if Aquila Hazi dies at my hands, he will definitely come to me for revenge, and I want to know his whereabouts!"
The mule looked at his eldest brother's solemn expression, twisted his brows and made a chopping action on the table: "Or ......"
Zhang Chu pressed his shoulder and shook his head solemnly: "Don't mess around, that Wang Zhenyi is not easy to deal with, if you want to do it, you must kill him with one blow!"
