Chapter 219: Flowers Bloom and Fall

The Sharp Knife Army has already sent a letter to the Tang Sect about Tang Taming's treason and collaboration with the enemy, and reported it to the Tang Sect.

After all, this Tang Sect is also the financier of the Sharp Knife Army, and the military salary of one million taels of silver was subsidized by the Sharp Knife Army, and this face still has to be given.

Zhang Yongjie decided to visit Tang Tame, but he didn't know what to say.

Zhang Yongjie was originally the kind of person who was jealous and hateful, and he hated those who committed adultery. Because in this world, many things, once they are done, they cause a lot of killing.

This is irreparable by any punishment.

Therefore, Zhang Yongjie is generally in a hurry, so Zhang Yongjie worked tirelessly to run around back then, just to stop the fight between Shi Yunshan and Mingyang Palace.

Zhang Yongjie wants to strangle all unfair things in the cradle. After the fact, the evil consequences have already been done, and it is useless to say who is right and who is wrong.

But what makes Zhang Yongjie particularly heartbroken is why there are often many bad people, who are the people around him.

People who have a lot of contact with him, such as Zhao Qianli, can be regarded as having dealt with him. For example, Xiao Yan, the people in the opera garden in Hangzhou last time were very afraid of Xiao Yan's punishment.

This proves that Xiao Yan's Blue Dragon Society does not look so decent.

And some people, even their own friends.

For example, Zhang Yuanwai, who is the eldest brother who has a heart-to-heart with him, how can he also be a bad person?

There is also Tang Tame, although he doesn't have much contact, but he also regards him as a friend, so he arranges him to be the general, and there are not a few generals in the Sharp Knife Army.

In the face of these situations, Zhang Yongjie has lost his irritable mood, and he used to be like thunder, hoping that the people around him would not do things that should not be done. It's about prevention.

And Tang tamed it, he treasoned with the enemy, colluded with the Japanese, caused the loss of 20,000 troops to my sharp knife army, and brought serious disasters to the country.

So Tang Tao can't survive anyway, in this case, Zhang Yongjie doesn't even want to lose his temper, because it's useless.

Zhang Yongjie looked left and right, ordered the sharp sword army to carry over a bench, sat on the stool, Zhang Yongjie abandoned the left and right, sighed, and organized the language in his heart, but he didn't know what to say.

Tang Tao spoke first, Tang Tao sneered, and asked strangely, "Do you believe in fate?"

Zhang Yongjie nodded, but shook his head again.

Tang Tao smiled, and then said: "I believe in this thing, everything in the world, everything has a fate. ”

Zhang Yongjie can't deny it, but he doesn't affirm it.

Tang Tao continued: "This is already the case, I have nothing to say. ”

Zhang Yongjie said lightly: "I know, I didn't ask you anything." I just felt that I still had some friendship back then, and I felt a little uncomfortable when I got it like this. ”

Tang Tao said: "Oh, we had some friendship back then?"

Zhang Yongjie said: "I remember that year, in the big bamboo forest in Yuzhou, I competed with Nadu Qianlin, and you still wanted to help me, which is the bottom line, we are also friends." ”

Tang Tao smiled and said, "If I don't die, of course we are friends." But now that it's a foregone conclusion, I'm not going to tell you that I've never considered you a friend. ”

Zhang Yongjie glanced up at Tang Tao, waiting for his speech.

Tang Tao said: "Back then, you signed the armistice covenant between the Tang Gate and the Li family, and your reputation spread all over the country, and I contacted you just to use your reputation to seek benefits for myself. ”

For this, Zhang Yongjie can certainly predict this, after all, there are indeed a lot of things in the rivers and lakes that are famous.

Tang Tao said again: "But at that time, I made friends with you when I thought your kung fu was very poor." ”

Tang Tao said again: "I don't like to be someone else's little brother, I only like to be someone else's big brother." If I can't be someone else's big brother, I'll stay away from that person. ”

Zhang Yongjie thought for a while and said, "I remember that Li Yutang, the Ludong Iron Spear, also thought like this. ”

Tang Tao smiled and said, "So he was also shortlisted for the 'Jiajing Hero List' released by the Blue Dragon Society." ”

The characters on the Jiajing Hero List of the Blue Dragon Society, do they have such a thing in common?

Tang Tao said: "At that time, I saw that your martial arts were very high, and I defeated that Du Qianlin, and I judged that your martial arts were above me, so I never contacted you again, because it was impossible for me to recognize a person younger than me as a big brother." ”

Zhang Yongjie said: "I don't want to be someone else's big brother. ”

Tang Tao said: "Although you don't think so, the people around you will think so." The people around you will only think that you are their big brother and they are your little brother. ”

Tang Tao said again: "Situ Xiongwu, Yuwen Tiezhu, Eugenda and the like, that's how they think. ”

Zhang Yongjie said: "They don't think like this, we are friends. ”

Tang tamed and said: "This is a fact, and it is useless if you don't admit it." People rise and fall in the rivers and lakes, this is the rule. ”

Zhang Yongjie was silent, he didn't want to reason with Tang Tao on this matter.

Tang Tao smiled and said, "There will still be traitors, I have already given you a hint just now, and the rest depends on your own consciousness." ”

Zhang Yongjie asked, "And traitors? You mean Yan Shixiong?"

Back then, Qinglong would select celebrities in the rivers and lakes to enter the 'Jiajing Hero List', and from Tang Taming's tone, it can also be shown that the people on the list all want to be big brothers, but not younger brothers.

In other words, all the people on the list are ambitious, so Zhang Yongjie asked such questions.

Tang tamed and said: "I'm going to die, this is my life." I didn't want to tell you, but after thinking about it, you can come and see me, and finally consider me a friend. ”

It seems that Tang Tao is about to reveal a major secret to Zhang Yongjie.

Zhang Yongjie waved his hand and said: "Maybe it was in the past, but you colluded with the Japanese Kou, and I don't have a friend like you." ”

Zhang Yongjie didn't understand, as long as he lied to him at the moment that he still regarded him as a friend, he could extract some secrets from Tang Tame's mouth.

Although Zhang Yongjie understands this truth, he is unwilling to do so. Because he really refused to say that he and Tang Tao were friends against his will.

Tang Tao said in frustration: "Yes, my current identity is avoided by people all over the world, for fear of tarnishing his reputation." ”

Zhang Yongjie said: "I don't think so, my reputation itself is not good, and an evil word on my head is not necessarily a good reputation, but I really don't want to be friends with you." ”

Tang Tao was silent for a while, and said: "The characters on the Jiajing Hero List, some follow the Blue Dragon Society, and some follow the White Dragon Society. As for who exactly is who, you can investigate it yourself, I can only say it here. ”

Zhang Yongjie thought for a while and said, "Ludong Iron Spear Li Yutang has been killed by me, and you will not be able to escape the law of the country." Now only Yan Shixiong, the Longnan scimitar, is in the barracks of my sharp knife army at the moment, as well as Liaodong Broken Knife Lei Ming and Li Jia Wei Chong. ”

Zhang Yongjie groaned for a while, and said: "I have seen Lei Ming and Wei Chong, this Wei Chong doesn't look like a good person, back then in the Li family, he collected the silver taels of Fat Dun, and in a blink of an eye, he betrayed Fat Dun in front of Li Ling, this person must have taken refuge in the White Dragon Society." ”

Zhang Yongjie continued: "As for Yan Shixiong and Lei Ming, I can't see what the two of them think. ”

Although Yan Shixiong is in the camp of the Sharp Knife Army, Zhang Yongjie can be seen every day, but he basically doesn't talk to people, and of course it is difficult for Zhang Yongjie to judge what he thinks in his heart.

And that Lei Ming, Zhang Yongjie only has one side, there was a fight in Mingyang Palace that year, the scene was chaotic for a while, I don't know where Lei Ming went later. So Zhang Yongjie doesn't know much about Lei Ming, but with his intuition, he feels that this person is a good person.

Zhang Yongjie knew that he was suspicious in his heart, and he often looked at the wrong people, so he didn't dare to doubt others for no reason.

It seems that many things, if you want to strangle bad things in the cradle, you really don't have the ability to do it, so you can only wait for the results to come out and then deal with the problem.

Zhang Yongjie left the cell and no longer cared about Tang Tame. Although Zhang Yongjie didn't dare to doubt others, his easy-to-change nature was difficult to change, and he was always on guard against Yan Shixiong in his heart.

But Yan Shixiong never regarded Zhang Yongjie as his eldest brother, and the reason why he entered the Sharp Knife Army camp was completely under the orders of the Qinglong Society, that is, Xiao Yan.

So Yan Shixiong doesn't care about Zhang Yongjie's attitude towards himself, it doesn't matter whether it's cold or hot, he still does his own thing, goes his own way, and does his own thing.

After this battle, the Sharp Knife Army suffered a great loss of vitality, but with the efforts of Li Geng, Cao Zhenchun, Liu Yonggui and others, they defeated the follow-up attack of the Japanese Invaders, so that the Sharp Knife Army gained a firm foothold around Longtai and had a time basis for recovery.

Spring goes to autumn, flowers bloom and fall, and time comes to May of the forty-third year of Jiajing in a blink of an eye.

Zhang Yongjie led the Sharp Knife Army in Fujian and has stayed for five years. This year, Zhang Yongjie was twenty-eight years old.

Because the Japanese were mobile warfare, in the past five years, the Sharp Knife Army also fought countless small battles with the Japanese and basically wiped out the Japanese in Fujian.

Zhang Yongjie has grown from a military layman to a general with a certain military literacy.

Hu Butang ordered the blood to drink the valley and recruited Zhang Yongjie to enlist in the army. Five years later, in the forty-third year of Jiajing, the second military order came.

It turned out that at this time, the entire anti-Japanese war situation, after the bloody encirclement and suppression of the generals and the battle against all thorns and thorns, finally forced the Japanese to the overseas islands.

Therefore, the Japanese decided to change the way of wandering, scattering and plundering operations, and decided to gather a large army to fight against the Ming army.

The Japanese gathered heavy troops, seized dozens of towns along the Huangpu River, and pointed their troops directly at Zhenjiang, and then attacked Nanjing.

Therefore, the lord of the ministry ordered the armies from all over the country to assemble in the direction of Nanjing, and prepare for a battle with the Japanese invaders.

Everyone can know that this is almost the last few major battles of the Anti-Japanese War that lasted more than ten years, and after these battles, you can disarm and return to the field.

Therefore, the army mobilized by Lord Mintang this time also includes the sharp knife army in the Fujian area.

Due to the reminder of Lord Ministry a few years ago, the size of the Sharp Knife Army has been maintained at about 7,000 people. Although after various small battles, the Sharp Knife Army was also reduced, but Liu Yonggui and other local prefects quickly recruited troops and increased the size of the Sharp Knife Army to 7,000 people.

Later, the fighting in Fujian gradually decreased, Li Geng, Zhang Zhi and others trained new soldiers, and now, the 7,000-strong sharp knife army can be described as a proper elite army.

The Sharp Knife Army was ordered to go north, and on the day of the opening, Liu Yonggui and other local officials personally set up a banquet for the Sharp Knife Army to practice.

After all, Liu Yonggui has worked with generals such as the Sharp Knife Army for more than five years, and he already has a deep relationship. This time the sharp knife army went north, Liu Yonggui and others were surprised and regretted.

The surprise is that the Japanese are finally about to be wiped out, and unfortunately they will be separated from the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Army, and when they say goodbye, they don't know what year and month it is.

Zhang Yongjie attaches great importance to the matter of intelligence, and if the army fights, without intelligence, it is equivalent to having no eyes, and all the battles are confused.

Therefore, in the system of the Sharp Knife Army, the largest first team is the team of the spy general Eugenda.

The Sharp Knife Army has a total of only 7,000 people, and the special agent has a scale of 1,500 people under the command of General Eugenda.

This kind of configuration is basically unique in other armies of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the Sharp Knife Army has a clear understanding of the surrounding environment, and it can basically be said that everything is under control.

Of course, Zhang Yongjie often uses the spy battalion to investigate some things on the rivers and lakes, and Zhang Yongjie is really concerned about Xiao Yan's situation.

In the past five years, the Blue Dragon Society and the White Dragon Society have also had countless fights, winning and losing each other.

The only difference is that Zhao Qianli is very high-profile, and it is easy to see him on the rivers and lakes. But Xiao Yan, Li Ling and others are hiding everywhere, and basically no one knows their specific location.

Zhao Qianli can't, even Zhang Yongjie can't, the only thing Zhang Yongjie can be sure of is that Xiao Yan is not dead, she must live in some corner of this world.

Because Xiao Yan died, the Blue Dragon Society would quickly collapse and be swallowed up by Zhao Qianli. And on the rivers and lakes, it is obvious that such a situation has not been reached, which proves that Xiao Yan is still alive.

The eldest sister Yang Shan went to the South China Sea to slay the dragon, and there has been no news in the past few years, and the news from the Blood Drinking Valley said that the eldest sister went to cultivate immortals.

People who cultivate immortals naturally don't care much about mundane things, so Zhang Yongjie hasn't heard anything else about the eldest sister.

Brother Situ Jin is no longer as fond of his eldest sister as he was back then, he has only cared about fighting in the past few years, and he just wants to return to his hometown as soon as possible after the war.

But where Situ Jin's hometown is, he has never told anyone, Zhang Yongjie has asked a few times, but Situ Jin does not answer this question.

The Sharp Knife Army marched all the way north, and soon reached Hucheng on the south side of Taihu Lake, where it had already reached the forward position of the Japanese Invaders.

Although the Lord of the Ministry mobilized troops and Nanjing, not all the troops needed to enter the city of Nanjing. The arrival of the army in Nanjing refers to the arrival of the army on the battlefield near Nanjing.

All Zhang Yongjie decided to temporarily stationed in Hucheng, on the one hand, send someone to report the situation of the Sharp Knife Army to Hu Butang, and on the other hand, spy on the battlefield situation in Hucheng, and then wait for the follow-up instructions of the Lord of the Ministry.

Of course, at this point in time, according to the situation, we can fight a few small battles appropriately to extinguish the morale of the Japanese invaders.

On the rivers and lakes, there is another major news that has reached the ears of Mr. Zhang Qian, who is preparing for the war in Hucheng.

That is, Zhao Qianli's force and further improved several grades, I heard that he could split mountains and rivers, and he also came to the battlefield near Nanjing, ready to make a move.

Although Zhang Yongjie didn't believe that Zhao Qianli could split the mountains and cut off the river, after all, the rumors in the rivers and lakes were not very credible. But Zhang Yongjie also knew that this Zhao Qianli was a scourge and his biggest enemy, and he regretted that he helped Zhao Qianli escape the catastrophe in Xiaojingzhuang back then, so that he would face a powerful enemy today.

It's like shooting yourself in the foot, so why bother.

Ps: Five years after the timeline comes, whether it is the overall situation of the anti-Japanese war or the Jianghu line, it has entered the final stage. What holes haven't been filled, book friends and friends help remind you, thank you.
