"Three years ago, I was a small official in the Ministry of War, and when I was sorting out the information of the personnel of the Black Cloud Organization, I saw the portraits of those men in black today, but the information said that they had withdrawn from the organization. ”

In the military tent in the hinterland of Tiger Hill Mountain, General Wang looked at Bai Fengnian, Ye Chong and the others, and said with a flickering gaze: "Actually, all those who know about Wu Dinghou and the Black Cloud Organization know that once they become members of the Black Cloud, it is impossible for Wu Dinghou to let any of them quit. And their so-called withdrawal, there is only one possibility, that is, they have superficially withdrawn from the relationship with the military department of the Qi State, but they will still engage in assassination activities under Wu Dinghou's men. ”

In this way, they only obey Wu Dinghou's control, and the military department has no jurisdiction and control over them. ”

Of course, Wu Dinghou would not admit this kind of thing, and the King of Qi and the crown prince also knew about it, but neither made any statement. The military marquis of a country, raising some private organizations under his subordinates, which is very common in any corner of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Wu Dinghou is just the institution he cultivated in the army, transformed into a private deployment, and it is only a small part. ”

"However, it is precisely for this reason that even if we have evidence to prove that the men in black who died at the foot of the mountain today were once members of the Black Cloud Organization, they would not pose any threat to Wu Dinghou. Because on the bright side, they no longer belong to the black clouds, and they have free bodies. ”

After Wang Shenjiang finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Ye Chong and said, "Ye Gongzi, we can only report this matter to Lord Taifu and His Royal Highness the Prince, but there is no way, and if we continue to investigate, we will not get any results." ”

Bai Fengnian, the white-robed captain on the side, didn't make a sound the whole time, just sat silently on the side, quietly looking at Ye Chong and the others.

Before that, he already knew what the outcome of this matter would be, so he asked General Wang to explain it to Ye Chong.

And what he wants to see now is the reaction of Ye Chong and others.

Annoyed and angry? Angry? Or in a fit of anger, rush back to Lindu, find the Taifu or the prince, and go to Wuding Houfu to ask for justice?

Ordinary people, most of them will react like this when they encounter this kind of thing, even if they are strong and not injured, but they are assassinated inexplicably, knowing that they are helpless when they know who is behind the scenes, there will always be a little bit of anger.

What Bai Fengnian wants to see is how they digest these fires.

Because according to the prince's edict, their 1,000-feather forest army here will obey Ye Chong's command in the future, in short, even he will become Ye Chong's subordinate in the future until the end of the Chuwei War, but who the knows if he will live until that time?

Bai Fengnian wanted to know if this young man in front of him, who had good strength, had the qualifications to lead them.

If his heart was far from enough to be the commander of this thousand-feather forest army, even if he violated the prince's edict, he would not take his brothers to his death.

His brothers can not be afraid of death, but as their generals, Bai Fengnian can't help but take their life and death to heart.

I only heard Ye Chong say in a flat tone: "You don't need to report to the prince, just tell the third uncle, Bai Duwei, General Wang, let's discuss the itinerary of the Yulin Army." ”

He didn't have any imaginary overreaction at all, not only that, but it didn't seem to take the assassination under the mountain seriously at all, and he didn't have the slightest anger.

Not only Ye Chong, but even Li Hui and Lu Shan, two guys who like to jump on their feet, all looked like they had no objections, and Qin Wuyue and Shen Qing'er were even more consciously silent. They didn't show the slightest surprise at Ye Chong's words, as if they had already guessed that he would respond like this.

Bai Fengnian and General Wang couldn't help but be even more surprised, on the way from the foot of the mountain to the military tent, this group of teenagers did not take the initiative to ask about the assassins, let alone pursue their intentions. This place, after all, is where their army is stationed, and not only that, but at this time, they don't even have the heart to ask for an explanation for what happened before.

Are they too calm and know that they want to take the opportunity to get a glimpse of their hearts, or are they really not taking this matter to heart?

Bai Fengnian didn't know, and it seemed that he wouldn't know it in a short time.

Since Ye Chong had brought up the matter of discussing the march distance, he had to get up and go to the parchment map hanging behind the military tent to move on to the next topic.

"At present, the armies of Chu and Wei are deadlocked in the Liangzhou area, Shen Fengyang's 30,000 Shen family army and Wuhe's 20,000 new army are all in front of Daliang Mountain, confronting the main force of Chu Shuai's 100,000 army in Dongfang Dingtian, and Ye Chonglou is leading 10,000 light cavalry to roam around Liangzhou......"

Bai Fengnian's analysis of the Chuwei battlefield was far more detailed than what Ye Chong had heard from all parties before, which showed that Bai Fengnian had put a lot of effort into this.

"We only have a thousand Lin Army, and everyone understands that these 1,000 people, if they want to help defend against Chu, it is really a drop in the bucket, and it is not enough to fill the gaps between the other party's teeth. In my opinion, we can only take a shortcut and go directly to Liangzhou, and strive to join the 10,000 light cavalry under Ye Chonglou's subordinates. Then, according to the situation on the battlefield, the next countermeasures are agreed. ”

After Bai Fengnian finished speaking, he looked at Ye Chong and said, "Of course, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's order is for us to obey Ye Gongzi's command, and the above is just the result of my discussion with General Wang before you arrive." ”

The 1,000-feather forest army is indeed too few, and expecting them to go directly to the main battlefield to fight is tantamount to sending them to death, but if this 1,000-feather forest army is attached to Ye Chonglou's 10,000 light cavalry, it can play a great role.

Because the soldiers of the Yulin Army are carefully selected from the Qi army, they are one thousand elites, and Ye Chonglou's 10,000 light cavalry is the same, they are all more suitable for flexible combat.

Of course, there is another reason why he chose to go directly to Liangzhou, that is, Ye Chong is Ye Chonglou's son.

Bai Fengnian and General Wang also knew that Ye Chonglou and his own Taifu were brothers and sisters, and Ye Chong was the son of Ye Chonglou, who was once famous in the Chuwei War. As people in the army, they also admired Ye Chonglou a little, not because of his reputation as the number one assassin, but because of his fierce edge on the battlefield.

On the battlefield of Chu Wei this time, Ye Chonglou was as sharp as he was back then, and with 10,000 light horsemen, he pulled one-third of the Chu army. And in several battles with obviously unequal numbers, each time he was able to retreat with his whole body, and the Di Chu army caused a lot of trauma.

This is extremely difficult on a battlefield where the disparity in strength between the two sides is so great.

And combining all the above elements, their thousand-feather forest army, the best way out is to go to Liangzhou to defect to Ye Chonglou.

After listening to Bai Fengnian's story, everyone else present also took it for granted.

Only Ye Chong, after being silent for a long time, shook his head.

So Bai Fengnian's brows furrowed, "Ye Gongzi thinks it's inappropriate?"

"It's not inappropriate, it's just that it's not enough. ”

"What's not enough?"

"We're not doing enough. ”

Of course, Bai Fengnian knew what Ye Chong meant, and sneered at the moment: "Ye Gongzi, we only have a thousand people, and it is extremely difficult to be able to help a little on the battlefield of tens of thousands of people. ”

In his opinion, Ye Chong, this kid is too greedy, does he actually expect a thousand people to make a big difference?

Ye Chong shook his head again, he got up and said, "Bai Duwei misunderstood, if we only have a thousand people, of course our strength is limited, but ...... There may be more than 1,000 people who are going to the battlefield with us this time. ”

"Oh?" Bai Fengnian was stunned.

"Didn't you hear that there are other armies together?" General Wang also wondered.

Including Lu Shan and Li Hui, they didn't know why Ye Chong said that there were more than a thousand people, because they were all present at the time, and they clearly heard what Liu San'er said, there was only this thousand feather forest army.

Ye Chong smiled and said, "They are not an army, but as far as I know, they will not be less than our Yulin Army in terms of numbers, but they are ...... It's uncertain whether they will follow us into battle. ”

"So this time, Ye Chong will not go with the Yulin Army, but will leave immediately and go to another place to borrow troops. Of course, I can't guarantee that the other party will agree, I can only say that I am somewhat sure. I think that if we borrow enough troops, then we don't need to go to Liangzhou. Just now, Bai Duwei mentioned that the purpose of the 10,000 light cavalry brought by my father to wander near Liangzhou was to contain the left wing of the Chu army, while Shen Houye and General Wu were trapped in the Great Liang Mountain, and most of the military strength of the Chu army was also gathered there, and the weakest right wing was already eyeing Chenzhou, and there were only a few idle troops in Chenzhou, and once the war started, it was powerless. ，”

"If it is possible, I hope that we can go in the direction of Chenzhou, break the right flank of the Chu army, hold Chenzhou, and then, like my father's army, wait for an opportunity to disperse the number of their main army. ”

Ye Chong's words were not hurried or slow, and his eyes were always staring at the sheepskin map.

"Ye Gongzi, Chen Zhou's lonely palm is difficult to sing, and he has been regarded as an abandoned son by the country, I'm afraid we can't do anything!"

"I have to try it to know that it is precisely because Chenzhou seems to have become an outcast, and now the right wing of the Chu army is not in a hurry to attack, so we have a better chance. And resurrecting the outcasts is also the most morale-boosting for the guards on the entire battlefield. Ye Chong obviously had his mind set up.

"I agree with Ye Gongzi's strategy, but only if you borrow enough troops. Otherwise, I would not have taken my more than 1,000 brothers to Chenzhou to die. Bai Fengnian said nonchalantly.

"Then it's decided, you go in the direction of Chenzhou first, and I'll go alone to borrow troops. Lu Shan, Li Hui, Senior Sister, Miss Shen, you all followed Yulin Army forward. Ye Chong's eyes burned and said: "Early tomorrow morning, we will divide into two ways." ”
