Chapter 100: The Beginning of the War

The marriage of fortune and misfortune has long been determined, and all trivial things can be guessed.

Zhang San didn't think badly, as soon as he entered Zhu Congzhi's courtyard in the evening, he saw the two heroines who chased him that day, still dressed in the same way, still the same appearance, the difference was the attitude.

"Zhang Shaoxia, if you don't fight, you don't know each other. A smile appeared on Su Jianxiu's face, the spring was shining, and he was like two people that day.

Zhang Sanxin said, "Even if you want to kill Lao Tzu, how can Lao Tzu beat you." Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Zhu Congzhi had also come over, and it was not good to say it in public, so he squeezed out a smile and said, "It's easy to say." ”

Li Yunxiu turned her head to the side, she had nothing to say to Zhang San, and it was very strange, Shenzhou is so big, the rivers and lakes are so far away, how can she always meet this little thief.

The sunset is remnant, the season of white grass, red leaves and yellow flowers, the banquet is placed in the courtyard, a glass of wine is full of wine to the sunset, a table of good dishes reflects the evening sun, and the golden wind blows, which has a special interest.

Everyone sat down, there was no outsider, Zhu Congzhi was in the middle, Su Jianxiu and Li Yunxiu were on the left, Lu Wan and Xu Jianglou were on the right, Zhang San, as the only male guest, sat opposite Zhu Congzhi, and Mingyue sat next to Zhang San.

The autumn breeze is cool, the wine and food are delicious, and the atmosphere does have the tranquility of early autumn, except for a few words of greeting each other at the beginning, everyone eats the food with their heads bored, no one squeaks, fortunately, the table is large, and it is not too embarrassing.

"Spineless, chased by people and soulless, it's good to say. Mingyue's staple food is small, and she doesn't drink alcohol, so she whispered in Zhang San's ear when she was about to eat.

Zhang San put the bamboo shoots that he wanted to eat in the bowl, turned his head and whispered: "Then what do you say? Scold her, beat her, can you beat her?"

"What about three days and three nights of hanging up?"

"Then I'll lean on the window and give her some medicine tonight, and you go in and tie it up?"

"You chop wood and kick your legs every day, and you practice five big and three thick, why are you embarrassed to let me go. ”

"I'm five big and three thick?"

"Haha, the virtuous brother is not a big or three coarse, at most he is a thin horse of the ancient road west wind. Zhu Congzhi smiled brightly on the other side, it turned out that the two of them fought for the back, but they didn't realize that the voice was a little high, and the whole table heard it.

Mingyue's face flushed, and Zhang San was also a little ashamed.

Zhu Congzhi then stood up, raised his glass and said: "I'll pick up a cup, welcome the two Emei women to come to help, since the rivers and lakes said, "Talented people out of Wudang, beautiful women look at Emei", today I saw two Fang Zhi rumors are true, feel the hospitality of the two thousands of miles to help, Zhu Mou did it first for respect. ”

After that, the sleeves of the robe were lightly covered, and a glass of wine was dry.

The two Xiu Emei also drank the wine in front of the table, Xu Jianglou pinched the wine glass and was about to drink it, but seeing that Lu Wan and Zhang San next to him did not move, he withdrew his hand silently.

Zhu Congzhi poured another glass and said: "This cup of wine should be honored by Wan'er, Brother Xian and Jiang Lou, Xinchang and his party, because I was greedy for a while, causing Wan'er to be in prison, Brother Xian and Jiang Lou risked death to save each other, fortunately God and Buddha blessed, everything is safe, otherwise I will really die and cannot be redeemed." ”

After that, I drank again.

Zhang San and Xu Jianglou were humble for a few words, and just after drinking the wine, Su Jianxiu spoke: "I don't know who this Wan'er girl is...?"

"Zhuji people, Lu Wan. Lu Wan replied crisply.

Su Jianxiu didn't ask this, she had been here for a long time, and she had already seen that Lu Wan and Zhu Congzhi's expressions were a little unusual, and she wanted to ask about the relationship between Lu Wan and Zhu Congzhi at this moment, but Lu Wan replied like this, she didn't want to get to the bottom of it, turned her head to look at Zhang San and Mingyue, the youngest on the table, and said: "I loved the tragic death of the bird that day, and I only made a move in a hurry, you two little guys don't be angry with me." ”

Zhang San didn't speak, Mingyue snorted her little nose, "Do you have to pay for the death of a bird?" If I didn't run away with the third brother that day, would I be killed by you." ”

"Mingyue!" Zhu Congzhi shouted with a sense of majesty.

Mingyue put down the dishes and chopsticks and left.

"She's full, let's go on. Zhu Congzhi twisted the atmosphere several times, but in the end it was fruitless, and the later meals were not as delicious as before.

I don't know if this dinner gave Li Dashuai a strong line, and the next day the 100,000 army went out of Shangyu City, and went to Xinchang in a mighty way, and Zou Pusheng would hunt at the foot of Siming Mountain.

The Dragon and Phoenix Army is now used as a scout battalion, with a simple task, only responsible for supervising the enemy forces in the direction of Ninghai, and constantly transmitting the battle reports from the front line here to Jinling and the adjacent prefectures.

Zhu Congzhi went to the front line with the army, and Xu Jianglou was indispensable to escort him, and Lu Wan and Emei's two shows also followed, leaving Zhang San and Mingyue to sit in Shangyu and coordinate the distribution and reception of various news.

At the beginning of the war, it fell into a stalemate, Zou Pusheng put a "seven killing array" at the foot of Siming Mountain according to the terrain, at this time people also guessed why Zou Pusheng abandoned the city and did not defend it, he was originally good at Qimen Dunjia, get some Xuanmen tactics, and defending the city was not his forte.

Li Dayou is not ignorant, but no matter what the mystery is, it is better to fight in the field than to attack the city, because the siege of the city is piled up with people, and moreover, it is used by his own people.

Zhang San didn't see the Seven Killing Formation, and he didn't know what it was like, but for ten days, Li Dayou didn't break the formation, and according to Xu Jianglou's news, if it weren't for Li Dayou's good command of the troops and the way of training, the soldiers would have worked hard to the death, but I was afraid that they would have been defeated.

Although this war does not have much vital interest in Zhang San, after all, he is a person from King Jinling's side, and he still hopes that his side will win in his heart, and there is a lot of news from all walks of life, but Mingyue is an expert in this regard, with her help, Zhang San does not have to worry, more time is spent on practice.

There is also a letter from the thief, which was written by Tian Boguang, and there are also greetings from Wu Qing and Ye Mei, Wu Qing's he believes that Ye Shiniang's concern is not very reliable, and the master is now confused, and it is estimated that she is fighting with Xu Hui again.

There is a lot of content in the letter, and Tian Boguang said that he understands the things that Zhang San vaguely proposed last time, saying that since the last prison incident, he has repented, and in the future, he will use charm to convince women, and no longer use medicine to steal people.

The thief door is very quiet now, in a semi-closed state, has always suffered from troubled times, the thief door is a wise self-preservation, do not participate, do not offend, for Zhang San's case, the master of Chumen has another instructions, before the world is stable, Zhang San must not act in the name of the thief, everything only represents the individual, but also praised Zhang San in the pilgrimage qualifiers for the first place in the world, so that he has the opportunity to return to the door and teach his brothers.

"Will go back. Zhang San thought silently in his heart, every time he came out for a long time, he would miss Yunmeng Mountain, where there were not many beautiful women, everything else was excellent.

As soon as the front-line battle is stalemate, it is the time for martial arts masters to make a move, and the two sides assassinate each other's defenders, attack camps, set fire to grain and grass, and various means emerge one after another.

Zhu Congjian was in charge of the grain and grass here and was burned by the other party once, he was so angry that he had to burn it again, he was originally the eldest prince, and now he is the prince, there are many good players in the rivers and lakes gathered around him, several sneak attacks, and he was really hit once, although it was not burned much, but it was also reported as a great achievement, as for his own burning, it was naturally hidden.

The news kept coming, and they all flapped their wings and flew away, almost every piece of information has a number, it is the statistics of soldiers' casualties, in the past, in Zhang San's view, killing a person is a big deal, but in front of these two armies, death is just a number, so that Zhang San deeply understands that "rather than a dog in a prosperous world, not a person in a troubled world." The meaning of this sentence.

Both sides had attrition, but Zou Pusheng's side relied on the advantage of the formation, and the casualties were obviously smaller, and Ninghai Zhang Dingbian was also about to move, and the situation gradually developed in an unfavorable direction.

Four days before the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, Zhang San received a secret letter from Zhu Congzhi, inviting him to go to the front line as soon as possible.
