Chapter 207: Turning the Tiger Away from the Mountain
Hattori Qianyuan personally led a group of martial arts masters to attack Zhang Yongjie. Eugenda sent people everywhere to inquire about the news, but strangely, there was no Japanese army within a radius of 300 miles.
On the night of July 14, Zhang Yongjie was reading the "New Book of Mengde", a military book written by Cao Cao, a military strategist, politician and poet in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. After all, Zhang Yongjie is not good at this military battle, so he has to make up for it by studying.
"Meng De's New Book" highly summarizes the essence of Cao Cao's life on the art of war, and the most important point is fast.
Cao Cao's fast, that is famous, there is a saying, Cao Cao, Cao Cao to, it means that Cao Cao pays special attention to speed in battle, often the opponent thinks that Cao Cao has not set off yet, Cao Cao has arrived.
It was in this way that Cao Cao gave the enemy a high degree of spiritual shock. Let the enemy not know how fast Cao Cao is and how many people there are, so that the enemy will be in chaos.
July 14, according to traditional customs, is Halloween. In order to commemorate the deceased loved ones, people often burn candles, incense wax and paper money at this time. I hope that my relatives in the underworld will be able to live a life of money.
The night was getting deeper, and the masses had already finished paying tribute, so Zhang Yongjie took some sacrifices and came to the outside of Longtai City to pay tribute to his relatives.
Master Yang Tianqi is definitely going to worship, and as for his parents. According to the special case of the Thousand Islands, among the disciples and parents who hide their backgrounds, if one of them dies of illness, the Thousand Islands will announce the news.
And Zhang Yongjie has not received relevant news so far, so Zhang Yongjie knows that his parents will live in this world. I just don't know it right now.
After Zhang Yongjie finished the memorial service, he inspected the barracks outside the city by the way. At this time, the drill had ended, and except for the scouts, the rest of the men and horses had gone back to their respective camps to wash and rest.
It's not bedtime yet, and usually the soldiers get together to tell stories to ease the hard work of training.
Zhang Yongjie unveiled a barracks, more than 30 soldiers lived in a bunk, saw Zhang Yongjie's arrival, and stood one after another, waiting for the commander to show him.
Zhang Yongjie raised his hand and said, "Brothers have worked hard, I'm just shopping around and taking it easy." ”
Zhang Yongjie inspected a few more camps, and saw that the soldiers were full of passion, hoping to kill the enemy and serve the country, Zhang Yongjie was very satisfied, thinking that although this Cao Gonggong had a perverse personality, he was also a talent.
After all, the ideological propaganda work of the Sharp Knife Army has always been the responsibility of Gonggong Cao, and judging from the morale of the whole army, Gonggong Cao has done a very good job.
Zhang Yongjie walked into a barracks again, although Zhang Yongjie had emphasized that there was no need to queue, but the more than 30 people in the barracks still lined up to welcome Zhang Yongjie's arrival.
The strange thing is that there is a young man in this barracks, and when he saw Zhang Yongjie's arrival, he was very anxious and wanted to hide everywhere.
If the thirty or so soldiers in the barracks were idle, it would have been easier to hide. At this moment, everyone lined up in three rows, and the young man's twisting and pinching movements made Zhang Yongjie see it at a glance.
The young man stood in the middle of the line, his expression full of embarrassment. This person is also an old acquaintance to Zhang Yongjie. This young man is Chen Dong of Crab Bay.
Zhang Yongjie glanced at Chen Dong a few times, this Chen Dong actually joined the army, and he also came to his own sharp knife army.
Zhang Yongjie thought about it, for a person like Chen Dong, he might not be able to eat a full meal if he didn't join the army. Maybe this man came to the barracks to eat and drink.
Zhang Yongjie wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything, let the soldiers continue to rest, and called the squad leader out of the camp for a walk.
The squad leader's name was Peng Mofeng, a disciple of the Nanyang Iron Sword Sect, and when he saw Zhang Yongjie letting him go out by name, he didn't know what was going on, so he cautiously followed behind Zhang Yongjie.
Zhang Yongjie turned east and walked west, and only after he was some distance away from Chen Dong's barracks did he turn around.
Zhang Yongjie asked, "General Peng, how is this Chen Dong doing in the barracks?"
Peng Mofeng is just a squad leader, not even a leader. Moreover, his squad leader is only a temporary establishment of the Sharp Knife Army, from the perspective of the imperial court, this squad leader is not much different from other soldiers, they are all non-grade officials.
And Zhang Yongjie's 'General Peng' gave Peng Mofeng a lot of encouragement.
Peng Mofeng is a young man, about twenty years old, Zhang Yongjie sent this high hat, Peng Mofeng immediately felt flattered.
Peng Mofeng didn't know why Zhang Yongjie asked Chen Dong alone, but judging from the accents of the two of them, he guessed that Zhang Yongjie and Chen Dong belonged to a fellow countryman.
Peng Mofeng arched his hand and said: "Report to General Zhang, after Chen Dong entered the barracks, he rarely talked to others, only occasionally said a few words. ”
Zhang Yongjie asked again: "What about the war?"
Peng Mofeng said: "This Chen Dong doesn't know martial arts, but he is very brave in battle and is not afraid of death." Every time they reunite, they are desperate like the Japanese Kou. The brothers in our team know that he doesn't know martial arts, so they often take care of his safety. ”
Zhang Yongjie thought about it, and he didn't want to die in the fight, but he performed well. He said, "Then what else did Chen Dong usually do?"
Peng Mofeng didn't know what Zhang Yongjie was asking, so he couldn't answer for a while, and replied immediately: "I don't know what General Zhang is referring to?"
Zhang Yongjie said softly: "Is this Chen Dong in the barracks, instigating everyone to gamble?"
Peng Mofeng shook his head and said: "No, our sharp knife army is composed of men from the rivers and lakes, and occasionally we will play two dices to kill time." Chen Dong watched from the side every time, but he never played. ”
Zhang Yongjie nodded, every time Chen Dong watched from the side, it showed that he also wanted to play two hands, but because there was no silver, he could only watch the excitement from the side, it seems that this person is really a gambler.
Zhang Yongjie thought for a while and said: "Don't play dice in the army in the future, I know a person, because of gambling on dice, bankrupt family, good youth, make people are not human, ghosts are not ghosts, I think this is very bad." ”
Although Peng Mofeng is young, his head is also turning fast, and he heard Zhang Yongjie say that he knows a person, and combined with the current context, this person naturally refers to Chen Dong.
Peng Mofeng arched his hand and said: "Humble duty and abide by General Zhang's military orders, from now on, our barracks will never play dice again." ”
Zhang Yongjie nodded and said, "Okay, then there will be General Lau Peng." You pay more attention to Chen Dong in private, if he plays dice again, please report it to me as soon as possible, I want him to know how powerful he knows. ”
Peng Mofeng nodded immediately, tonight is a great thing. General Zhang brought Chen Dong's attention to his actions and asked him to report it to him. This means that he has a relationship with the supreme commander of the Sharp Knife Army, and if there is something to do, he can go past the layers of officials and go directly to Zhang Yongjie.
This shows that there is an opportunity to be promoted faster in the future, and Peng Mofeng is very happy when he thinks of this. immediately bid farewell to Zhang Yongjie and returned to the barracks.
Looking at Peng Mofeng's distant back, Zhang Yongjie sighed, hoping that in the barracks, through strict supervision of Chen Dong, it would be a good thing to help him quit drug addiction.
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Yongjie saw that Chen Dong was eavesdropping on his conversation with Peng Mofeng nearby. Presumably, Fang Cai's words have all fallen into Chen Dong's ears.
At this moment, if it is placed on the rivers and lakes, it will inevitably be a little embarrassing. If it is placed in the barracks, this Chen Dong eavesdrops on the commander's conversation, and Zhang Yongjie can immediately execute Chen Dong on the grounds of 'probing secrets'.
Zhang Yongjie actually couldn't bear to execute Chen Dong, so he waved his robe at the moment and left there without saying a word, not talking to Chen Dong.
Chen Dong stood there in a daze for a long time, and finally sighed and returned to his barracks.
Zhang Yongjie mainly didn't know how to communicate with Chen Dong, because he had communicated several times before, and it didn't work at all, so he simply stopped talking to him and didn't say a word anymore.
Zhang Yongjie left the barracks and saw a faint light in the woods in the distance, looming. The woods are not barracks, and it stands to reason that there should be no lights over there at this hour.
If there are lights, it means that there are people, who is sneaking over there? Zhang Yongjie took advantage of the night to lurk in the woods, wanting to find out.
The light of the fire seemed to know Zhang Yongjie's arrival, and further advanced into the woods.
Zhang Yongjie took a breath of truth and quickly followed. In a few moments, the faint light of the fire came out of the woods and rested on a large rock.
Zhang Yongjie looked at it, only to find that it was a person smoking dry tobacco over there. When that guy smoked dry smoke, he could flash such a strong firelight? Obviously, there were martial arts masters present.
And looking at the current situation, this martial arts master made a special trip to call for himself. remembered that Eugenda had found out that Hattori Qianyuan would lead a group of martial arts masters to attack the Sharp Knife Army. Could it be that the person in front of him is Hattori Thousand Yen?
While Zhang Yongjie was thinking, the man said leisurely: "Since you are here, you don't need to hide, please come here." ”
Chinese, not 倭寇. The man deliberately curled his tongue, and it was impossible to tell who it was from the accent for a moment.
Zhang Yongjie stepped forward with his hand and said, "Where did the rats come from, what do you want to do sneakily?"
The man smiled: "I just want to show Zhang Shaoxia one thing." ”
The man took a hard puff of dry smoke, and in that instant, the light of the fire illuminated half of the circle.
And at this moment, Zhang Yongjie noticed two things. The first thing was that the man was wearing a mask, and it was clear that he knew him and was afraid to see him.
The second thing was that the man was holding a jade ring in his left hand, how could Zhang Yongjie not be familiar with this jade ring? That was the 'Dragon and Phoenix Jade Ring' of the Blood Drink Valley.
This 'Dragon and Phoenix Jade Ring' has the two supreme heart methods of the Blood Drink Valley, 'Dou Qihua', 'Sea and Sky Duel' and so on.
And the rivers and lakes have long been spread the 'mixed yuan dragon magic skill', if this 'dragon and phoenix jade ring' is left in the rivers and lakes again, wouldn't it be that the masters are about to emerge and enter the era of great martial arts?
Entering the era of great martial arts is never a good thing. The more masters there are, the more difficult it is to solve the contradictions in this world, and the only way to deal with them is through casualties.
What does it mean for this person to show himself the 'Dragon and Phoenix Jade Ring'? Could it be that when he checked the 'Dragon and Phoenix Jade Ring' by himself at the Blood Drink Valley Heroes Conference that day, someone else saw it?
But what does it mean for them to show themselves?
The man showed Zhang Yongjie the 'Dragon and Phoenix Jade Ring', and immediately performed light skills, but just suddenly, the man went far away.
Between the flint and lightning, Zhang Yongjie didn't have time to think about it, and immediately chased after him, wanting to restrain this person and see who he was and what tricks he was playing.
Fortunately, the moon was in the sky tonight, and the road could still be seen, so it was not easy for that person to escape Zhang Yongjie's sight.
Zhang Yongjie's first reaction was that person should be a monk of Xuankong. Because only the Xuankong monk can have such a clever light skill, so that he can't catch up for a while.
But what made Zhang Yongjie feel terrifying was that the man's light skills were still above him.
Ever since he learned the light technique of 'Phantom Two Thousand' from Brother Situ Jin, Zhang Yongjie asked himself, no one in this world can open up the gap with himself.
Even the eldest sister Yang Shan, and Zhao Qianli of the White Dragon Society couldn't throw themselves away. Who could this man be?
Among the people I know, there is no one who has such a high level of light skill. If you have never met that person, why should that person be masked?
Zhang Yongjie couldn't remember who that person was, he was angry in his heart, and immediately tried his best to run wildly to get closer to that person.
After two hours of competition, Zhang Yongjie asked himself if the man's light skills were above him, and he couldn't catch up with him. But he guessed that his martial arts must be above that person, and if that person could beat him, he would not run.
What the hell did he want to do? Zhang Yongjie felt irritable and immediately slowed down.
When Zhang Yongjie slowed down, the man also slowed down. Zhang Yongjie suddenly felt strange, and immediately sped up his pace, and the man also sped up.
Seeing this, Zhang Yongjie hurriedly stopped his footsteps, quickly ran back, and ran in the direction of Longtai.
Back then, in Yuzhou, the bronze Taoist was like this, treating himself as a fish. At this moment, this person is here again, an obvious trick to divert the tiger from the mountain.
Remembering that Hattori Qianyuan was going to launch an attack on the Sharp Knife Army in the near future, this person seduced himself out tonight, obviously arranged by that Hattori Thousand Yuan, in order to transfer himself, a martial arts master, away from Longtai, so that he could take the opportunity to inflict a heavy blow on the Sharp Knife Army.
Zhang Yongjie was anxious in his heart, this time he competed with that person, coming and going for four hours, and four hours was enough for Hattori to launch an attack on the Sharp Knife Army, and he was counted as a Japanese robber.
He was really careless, Zhang Yongjie ran back quickly, he only hoped that nothing would happen in Longtai within a few hours.
When the man saw Zhang Yongjie running back, he immediately returned to chase Zhang Yongjie. Zhang Yongjie glanced back, thinking that the man had really lured him away from Longtai. Now Longtai may have been on fire, and the war has begun.
Zhang Yongjie was angry, at this moment, he was also far away from Longtai, and he couldn't rush back in a while.
Since you have already fallen into the trap of the widows, why don't you delay a little longer and deal with the person behind you first.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yongjie took a breath of truth and accelerated his speed. And the internal force of the body has been coordinated in place, ready to brake sharply in front of him, and turn to attack the masked man.
