Volume III, Chapter 595
Shao Lin saw Lin Haotian's doubts, and said: "The central army and the local army belong to two different systems, and there are many contradictions and differences between them, which are not pleasing to the eye. As long as the central army can be encouraged to rob Baishuixuan, then Ma Qian will inevitably lead the local army to intervene, as long as the two sides disagree, there is a possibility that they will fight hard, so that Xu Fang can't think of it. ”
Lin Haotian thought about it, and secretly said that this was right. He raised his head and asked, "But, how can you incite the Central Army to rob Baishuixuan?"
Shao Lin smiled and said, "It's very simple! Now that the granary in the city has been destroyed, there is not much grain left in the whole city, if you don't go to reserve grain at this time, you will have to go hungry in the future, and where is there still food in the city? Of course, Bai Shuixuan has the most!"
Lin Haotian finally understood what Shao Lin meant, he wanted to use the high-sounding reason of reserve rations to trick the central army of the Red Kingdom to rob Baishuixuan, and then use this to provoke the battle between the central army and the local army. If he is willing to come forward, his own people can take advantage of the chaos on the scene to surprise him, attack him unprepared, and suddenly kill Xu Fang.
Knowing Shao Lin's plan, Lin Haotian pondered carefully for a moment and felt that it was feasible, and he asked, "Are you sure to incite the Central Army?"
Shao Lin looked at Shao Lin and the others, and said confidently: "Since the granary was burned down, we, the guards guarding the granary, have been transferred to guard the city wall, and now we are all incorporated into the Fourth Army of the Central Army, and we get along well with the red soldiers around us, not to mention that food is related to their own life and death, my subordinates think, don't do it deliberately, just point to the end, it is enough to provoke people to fight!"
"En!" Thinking that what Shao Lin said was good, Lin Haotian nodded and said, "It's okay." Just do what you want! However, there is no need to force it too much, this can be done, it can not be done, and we will think of other ways, as long as we do not reveal our identities. We have a lot of hands-on opportunities. ”
"Subordinates understand!" Shao Lin bowed his hand, but in his mind, if he couldn't make good use of this opportunity, it would not be so easy to find other opportunities to do it in the future.
Lin Haotian thought about it again and said to Shao Lin: "Shao Lin, this matter is arranged by you. "After all, assassination is the old business of the demon warriors, and Shao Lin is the leader, which is more handy.
Let's talk about Shao Lin, Tong Lei and others. Returning to the barracks where they lived, they were now to defend the city walls, and the barracks they lived in were arranged directly by the ranks, and were located near the walls where they were stationed.
After returning to the camp, Shao Lin and Tong Lei discussed and decided to go directly to their top boss, Captain Hu Biao, first, they got along well with Hu Biao. The second is that this person is brave and unscrupulous, and it is easy to be used by them. What's more, he is still the captain of the brigade, and there are hundreds of soldiers under him, as long as he appeals, it will not be a problem to pull a hundred or ten people.
When Shao Lin and Shao Lin found Hu Biao, the latter was chatting with another captain.
Seeing the two of them, Hu Biao asked, "Is there something wrong?"
"Oh...... There is something to report to the captain...... Shao Lin deliberately did not finish his words. His eyes drifted vigorously to the other captain.
Hu Biao is a rectum, and he is not very good at observing words and feelings, seeing Shao Lin's hesitant appearance, he suddenly became angry and shouted: "If you have something to say, say it quickly." If you have a fart, let it go, if you don't have a fart, get out of here!"
The other captain saw that people minded his presence and it was inconvenient to speak, so he stood up and arched his hand to Hu Biao and said, "Ah Biao, I'll go back first, you can talk!"
"What's the hurry!" Hu Biao stretched out his hand to hold him, and then said to Shao Lin dissatisfiedly: "There are no outsiders here, just say what you have!"
In addition, the captain's name is Li Bing, and he has a good relationship with Hu Biao, and the two are still brothers.
Shao Lin hesitated for a moment and said: "Captain, now that the granary in the city has been burned, three meals a day has been changed to one and a half meals a day, and it is estimated that in another day or two, it will have to be changed to one meal a day or one meal every two days, captain, our brothers can't fight hungry, you have to take your brothers to make plans early." ”
Hu Biao has been worried about this matter for the past two days, he is tall and big, and the amount of food is also large, and he is hungry and panicked if he doesn't eat, and the army has begun to limit meals in the past two days, he feels bored, and there is an indescribable discomfort, he said angrily: "The granaries have been burned, what can I do?"
Shao Lin took a step forward and said in a low voice, "The captain can take us to grab some food." ”
"Rob, where to rob? Our corps has no food, and the other corps have no food, who do you let Lao Tzu rob?"
Shao Lin continued: "Of course we can't rob our own people!" After a pause, he approached Hu Biao and whispered: "Captain, there are still a few restaurants in the city, and there must be a lot of food in them, especially Bai Shuixuan, such a big restaurant, if you want food and meat, why don't we grab it and move everything that can be eaten there back, in case the army runs out of food in the future, our brothers can also have a hope!"
Why didn't I think of it! After Hu Biao heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his face also glowed.
Li Bing frowned slightly, and said worriedly: "Now is an extraordinary time, although it is nothing to grab a restaurant, but I heard that Bai Shuixuan has the county head as a backer!"
"What are you afraid of?!" Shao Lin patted his chest and said: "We are the Central Army, when we fight, we rely on us to be in front, if we can't eat enough and let the enemy army attack the city, even if the official of his county head is big, a hundred heads are not enough for people to cut off." ”
"No, no! Now that the city is running out of food, who cares who your backer is. Captain, if we don't take the lead and let other corps take the lead, we won't even be able to catch a single hair!" Tong Lei said with added fuel and vinegar on the side.
Hu Biao nodded again and again, turned his head to Li Bing and said: "My two brothers are right! If we don't rob it, other people will definitely rob it, even if we offend the county head, but we are the central army, and the county head can't help us." ”
Li Bing thought about it carefully, and felt that it was also the same reason, he said: "If you want to do it, everyone will do it together, don't do it alone in one team, get the benefits, let's all share it equally, if you poke the basket, it's a big deal, let's be punished together!"
"Hehe!" Hu Biao chuckled, patted Li Bing's shoulder, and said, "I know that this must be indispensable to you, brother! Let's go now!"
Hu Biao is an acute child. Just do it, Shao Lin and Tong Lei hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Captain, it's not going to happen now! This is broad daylight, it's not going to end well, maybe there will be generals of our Central Army eating in Baishuixuan right now." If we want to do it, we'll have to wait until late. At that time, Bai Shui Xuan was closed, and it was not too late for us to go again!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Now in the past, if you really meet our general, it's really hard to explain!" Hu Biao nodded and asked Li Bing, "Brother, what do you think?"
"I think these two brothers are right, let's wait for the middle of the night to go, and run away after grabbing, when the time comes, maybe they won't even be able to find out who robbed them!" Li Bing nodded.
Hu Biao looked up and smiled. said: "Okay! Let's just say it, wait until the third watch tonight, let's meet again and go to Baishuixuan!"
"Okay, see you or leave!"
Hu Biao and Li Bing were encouraged by Shao Lin and Tong Lei to make an appointment and prepare to start late to rob Baishuixuan.
In normal times, they are not so bold. But these are extraordinary times, and food equals life. These soldiers don't care who your backer is, as long as it's not their top boss, there is no one they dare not provoke.
Originally, it was just Hu Biao and Li Bing who led their respective brothers to meet, but when it came to the third watch, hundreds of people came at once, and the captain alone came five. There was also a commander of the thousands.
Li Bing is much more cautious than Hu Biao, Bai Shuixuan's backer is the head of the county after all, he deliberately brought in more people, and when there is a problem, it is good that someone will share it. After all, the law does not blame the public!
The commander who came was Hu Biao and Li Bing's boss, and when he saw Hu Biao with a surprised face, the commander sneered and said, "Hu Biao, you are too boring, you want to do such a big thing, and you don't say hello to me first, you want to eat alone?"
Hu Biao's face was full of embarrassment, and he didn't know what to say, so he stole a glance at Li Bing beside the commander, complaining that he shouldn't have found the commander and so many people.
Li Bing laughed dryly and said, "Master Qianfu, in fact, Lao Hu wants to come back to honor you after finishing his work......
"Gotta get it, I'll save these scenes for later!" The commander waved his hand impatiently, he called all the captains to his side, and said: "Tonight, we are going to Baishuixuan, when we get to the place, give me what to see, whether it is food or drink, as long as I can move away, I will bring them all back, but the ugly words are said in front first, don't hurt people, do you remember them?"
"Don't worry, Elder Qianfu, we are just going to get something to eat, and we will never do it. The captains patted their chests and promised.
The commander nodded in satisfaction, waved to everyone, and said, "Let's go!"
With the commander leading the team, everyone has more confidence, Shao Lin and Shao Lin and others are also laughing secretly in their hearts, they are not afraid of big things, they are afraid that things will not be big and will not be able to lead Xu Fang.
On the way to Bai Shuixuan, Shao Lin deliberately slowed down, falling behind the most, and at the same time called Zhang Shun, Wu Tao and others over, he said in a low voice as he walked forward: "This operation is done by my demon martial artist, Zhang Shun, Wu Tao, as long as there is a chance, you two leave quickly, go to the boss's restaurant first, and when the action is over, we will meet you again." ”
Hearing what he meant, it was to exclude the two of them from the assassination plan, Zhang Shun frowned, and asked in a low voice: "Lao Shao, what do you mean by this? I'm afraid that the two of us will not be able to hold you back?"
Zhang Shun and Wu Tao's cultivation is not weak, they are both called outstanding warriors, and they can pick out one at random and put them on the battlefield, and they are also brave generals.
Shao Lin showed no mercy at all, nodded directly and said, "That's right! I'm just afraid that the two of you will hold me back!"
Shao Lin's straightforwardness was too hurtful, and even Zhang Shun and Wu Tao, who were so indisputable, frowned, and their faces were gloomy.
Seeing that Zhang Shun and Wu Tao's faces were not very good-looking, Shao Lin had a straight face, and continued: "This time we are not going to fight with the enemy, but to assassinate, to kill the enemy with one blow, and run away after the fight, I believe that both of you have the ability to kill the enemy with one blow, but after you shoot, can you run away? Once you are entangled by the enemy, it will not only drag down my brother of the Demon Warrior, but also drag down the adults, now it is not about who is stronger and who is weak, but who can run fast and who can escape!"
As far as the ability to escape is concerned, the human and beast warriors are far inferior to the demon warriors, especially in the dark night, the dark warriors can show their strange bodies without any worries, and this alone is much better than the human and beast warriors.
After listening to Shao Lin's words, Zhang Shun and Wu Tao were silent. But his face had softened.
Seeing that they were silent, Shao Lin moved Lin Haotian out again, and Zhengse said: "The adults have handed over the assassination operation to me to handle this time, and the two of you must obey my command." ”
After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Shun finally nodded and accepted Shao Lin's assignment. He said: "Okay, Lao Shao, as long as there is a chance, Wu Tao and I will leave first!"
Shao Lin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if Shao Lin and the others refused to leave, things would be really difficult to do!
Let's say that their group of people went straight to Baishuixuan, and met a lot of patrolling red soldiers on the way, when people asked. The commander who took the lead didn't even answer, and directly pushed the red soldiers who blocked him away.
When they arrived at Baishuixuan, the place had already been closed, the doors and windows were closed, and the commander ordered to the left and right: "Smash the door open for me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several burly red soldiers rushed out of the crowd, and several of them slammed against the door together, with several muffled noises in succession. The door of Bai Shui Xuan was slammed open, and immediately after. The commander led the crowd in.
After entering, people went straight to the back kitchen, and saw that there were still some leftover dry food, many Red soldiers grabbed them and stuffed them into their mouths, and devoured them, and a large number of Red soldiers passed through the back door of the restaurant. Make a beeline for the warehouse and cellar in the backyard.
So many of them forcibly broke in, the movement was not small, and several shopkeepers who lived in the restaurant didn't know what was going on, so they got up from the bed in a daze and came out to take a look. I saw that the inside and outside of the restaurant were full of soldiers, these people were no different from bandits, they took whatever they saw, some people held tea bowls and teapots, some people also carried the table, and more people were crazy to grab food, carrying bags of grain, wine, meat, and vegetables stored in the backyard warehouse.
Several shopkeepers were dumbfounded on the spot, nothing like this had ever happened in the restaurant before.
It took them a long time before they came back to their senses, and a shopkeeper screamed, rushed to the approach of a red soldier who was carrying rice out, stretched out his hand to stop him, and shouted: "What are you going to do? Have you eaten the bear's heart and leopard's guts? Dare to come to Baishuixuan to grab something!"
Since the commander had explained in advance that he should not hurt anyone, the red soldier could only shout patiently: "Get out of the way! Don't get in the way!"
"You put things down! You put things down for me!" the shopkeeper grabbed Chi Bing's arm tightly and pulled down hard.
The red soldier shook his body again and again, trying to shake the shopkeeper away, but the other party didn't let go, and the red soldier couldn't do anything about him for a while.
At this moment, a red soldier suddenly came out from their side, and the man didn't say anything, but kicked him in the soft underbelly of the shopkeeper, when he heard the latter's strange scream, and his body flew out sideways.
"Fuck, good dogs aren't in the way!" The red soldier who rushed over was none other than Shao Lin.
Although the commander of the thousand commanders had explained that he would not let them hurt people, if he did not do so, how could he make a big deal out of it? He said to the red soldier: "There is no need to be polite at all to deal with this kind of person, and if you can't beat them to death!"
The red soldier laughed twice, said a word of thanks to Shao Lin, and then strode out of the restaurant with a sack.
Shao Lin's move was like a fuse, and the other red soldiers no longer tolerated the second shopkeeper who stopped him, kicking or kicking, beating several shopkeepers to scream.
There were several hundred of them, and there were only a few shopkeepers, so how could they be their opponents? Seeing that they couldn't stop each other, they were beaten up by the other party, and several shopkeepers with blue noses and swollen faces ran out of the restaurant crying and shouting.
At this time, many red soldiers patrolling and passing by had gathered outside the restaurant.
The red soldiers from the Central Army basically had the psychology of watching the excitement, and at the same time secretly felt a pity, regretting that they didn't do it to Bai Shuixuan first, but let the brothers of the other corps take the lead. And those red soldiers from the local army were in a hurry and didn't dare to step forward, their bosses had already told them to take good care of Bai Shui Xuan, but now it was the Central Army that started to rob Bai Shui Xuan, and there were hundreds of people, and they felt that even if they went to stop it, they might not be the opponent of others.
The shopkeepers ran out of the restaurant crying and shouting, and when they saw so many red soldiers watching outside, they simply sat on the ground and cried loudly, crying while counting the red soldiers who were moving.
Seeing that the matter was getting bigger, the local sergeant ran to the capital of Mawang County and went to explain the situation to Ma Qian, the head of the county.
Soon, the news that Bai Shuixuan was sacked by the Central Army reached Ma Qian's ears, and after the latter heard it, he was furious, now that the granary in the city has been destroyed, it is understandable that the Central Army grabbed grain in the whole city, but you can't grab it, you actually grabbed your own head, is this worth it?
Ma Qian put on his official robes, took the guards in the county capital, and summoned thousands of local soldiers and soldiers, and rushed to Baishuixuan angrily.
Along the way, his henchmen also reminded him that there was no need to go to Baishuixuan in such a hurry, he should talk to Xu Fang first, after all, Xu Fang lived in the county capital during this time, and he was treated well, Xu Fang would still give the county head this face.
But Ma Qian felt that the Central Army was all Xu Fang's subordinates, even if he made a mistake, Xu Fang would not punish him severely, it was better to come forward in person, and teach those Central Army who did not have a long vision to teach a good lesson, one is to establish prestige and win back face, and the other is to warn the Central Army not to fight their own ideas in the future.
When Ma Qian arrived at Baishuixuan with a group of guards and local troops, the scene he saw was a large number of red soldiers frantically carrying the food and equipment in the restaurant, while several shopkeepers with swollen faces like pigs' heads were still sitting on the ground and crying loudly.
This situation and this scene made Ma Qian so angry that he was angry, is there still a royal law? This group of brutes in the Central Army is simply lawless! He separated the red soldiers who were watching, urged the horses, and roared at the red soldiers who were moving things: "Stop! Stop it all for me!" (To be continued......
