Chapter 417: The Back Road
At this time, on the Qingfeng Village, Mu Linhan sat on the main seat, Gao Dadao and Zhang Zheng sat on both sides, and below was a group of brothers who could speak.
Among them, Gao Dadao has been secretly poking and staring at Zhang Zheng, if it weren't for him, how could something like this happen today, but this person is so thick-skinned, and he pretends to be really thinking about it, and he is anxious together.
He wanted to expose Zhang Zheng in front of many brothers, but he thought of his eldest brother's entrustment, and now everyone should unanimously solve the external troubles before dealing with Zhang Zheng, so he can only endure it.
In this heavy atmosphere, it was Mu Linhan who took the lead in opening his mouth.
"Now the prince's forbidden army and the Jinmen army have arrived at the foot of the mountain at the same time, but they did not attack, but set up camp at the foot of the mountain, I don't know what they are going to do, I invite a few brothers to come up, I also want to discuss with everyone, can there be a strategy to deal with the enemy?"
Everyone was worried, if they could take advantage of the terrain against the forbidden army alone, or against the Kinmen army, who knew more about mountain warfare, they could also win in numbers, in short, they all had a way to win in such a weak situation.
But if the two armies are united, they have both numbers and combat strength, and they will only be beaten.
Seeing that the brothers below were silent, Mu Linhan already knew the answer and fell silent.
Zhang Zheng looked left and right, he didn't want to die yet, after all, the nobles on the road promised him many benefits, and these benefits have not yet been fulfilled, if he dies like this, there will be nothing in the future.
"Big brother, why don't we go to him again to ask for peace, we can go to the prince of the Wu Dynasty and the Jinmen army respectively, the last time I found the prince of the Wu Dynasty to make peace, maybe it was because he knew that the Jinmen army would come to help him, and he had a plan in his heart, so he deliberately refused us, this time we will find the Jinmen army first, if he wants Liu Qizhuo, just give it to him, it is nothing more than a useless person, without the Jinmen army, the prince of the Wu Dynasty will have no rampant confidence."
Gao Dadao was tired of Zhang Zheng, and when he heard him say this, he subconsciously wanted to refuse.
"It's easy for you to say, the prince of the Wu Dynasty may have to offer what kind of conditions, if this didn't happen from the beginning, we wouldn't have to be so passive."
Zhang Zheng was a little weak-hearted, and when he heard this, he whispered.
"Second brother, things have happened, and it's useless to think about those useless things, it's better to think about what we should do now."
Gao Dadao heard that he actually covered the matter so lightly, he was angry, he felt that he couldn't bear it anymore, and wanted to expose Zhang Zheng's lies, but Mu Linhan coughed lightly and interrupted what he was about to say.
"What we have to face now is the alliance of the Prince's Forbidden Army and the Kinmen Army, don't talk about anything else."
Gao Dadao had no choice but to sit down, but he was still indignant in his heart, and glared at Zhang Zheng fiercely, which made Zhang Zheng a little trance, I don't know why the second brother wanted to target himself like this, he interrogated the brothers in the village last night, did he ask if this matter was related to him?
As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly trembled, cold sweat flowed, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this guess was right, and now they were keeping it a secret, maybe they were trying to find a way to deal with themselves.
Maybe after solving the external troubles, he will have to deal with him, Zhang Zheng feels that he must not sit still, people are not for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, he must find a way to save his life.
Who knew that Mu Linhan actually continued.
"The third brother is right, although I don't know when the prince of the Wu Dynasty and the Kinmen Army were contacted, but seeing that the Kinmen Army came to meet it this morning, when the negotiations last night, the prince of the Wu Dynasty estimated that he was confident, so he would disdain the conditions we put forward, this time we have to deal with the Kinmen Army first, and then descend to the prince of the Wu Dynasty to negotiate peace."
Gao Dadao didn't expect that the eldest brother would use Zhang Zheng's suggestion, and wanted to stop it, but was stopped by the eldest brother's eyes, he could only withdraw the big knife angrily and snorted.
"This time the matter is very important, I want to personally talk to the Jinmen Army, bring Liu Qizhuo to me, you go to the various passes in the village now, there must be no mistakes."
The brothers below immediately got up and left, and when Gao Dadao and Zhang Zheng walked to the door, Mu Linhan stopped the two.
"Second brother, third brother, now is a critical period for the life and death of my Qingfeng Village, and the three of us should work together to overcome this difficulty."
In fact, he said this to Gao Dadao, Gao Dadao nodded, indicating that he knew what the eldest brother meant, and Mu Linhan looked at Zhang Zheng with satisfaction.
"Third brother, your idea is very good, if you can really disintegrate them, I will give you a great credit."
Zhang Zheng nodded with a smile, pretending to be flattered, but in fact, after going out, the smile on his face suddenly put away.
It must have been too obvious that Gao Dadao was too obvious just now, and Mu Linhan was afraid that he would be suspicious, so he praised him a few more words, but unfortunately, he was not stupid, and it was impossible for others to calculate himself.
Gao Dadao reluctantly remembered the eldest brother's entrustment and patted the third brother's shoulder.
"I'll guard the gate, you follow the eldest brother, the three of us must get through this together."
Zhang Zheng smiled on the surface, but it did not prevent him from starting to find a way out for himself, he returned to the room, turned out a scroll from the bottom of the box, opened it and saw that it was a topographic map of the mountain occupied by Qingfeng Village.
When Qingfeng Village was first established, Mu Linhan and Gao Dadao had nothing, and it was he who contributed money and efforts to help them build Qingfeng Village, in other words, he was the biggest contributor to the establishment of Qingfeng Village, and he should also be regarded as a big boss.
It's just that he didn't have Mu Linhan's appeal at that time, so he was willing to retreat behind, but he could live under Mu Linhan, but he was unwilling to live under the tall sword, he didn't want to admit that he was not as good as a brainless man, so he kept holding his breath in his heart.
Since then, he has thought about finding a back road for himself, after the completion of Qingfeng Village, Mu Linhan knew that the imperial court would not allow them, so he had already built a way back, that is, by taking advantage of the terrain in the mountains, a mountain road was opened behind the cliffs in the backyard, the mountain road was hidden, rugged and twisted, and there were many forks, and some traps were integrated, and it was easy to break the road, and it was not easy for people who were not familiar with the terrain to walk.
If there is really a siege like today, they can escape through the backyard mountain road, and they can be regarded as staying in the green mountains, not afraid of running out of firewood.
However, when digging the mountain road, Zhang Zheng secretly extended a topographic map, not only the situation of the entire mountain, but also the map of the retreat mountain road.
