"General Zhang must know that if we continue to fight like this, then neither of us will have good fruit to eat. Especially General Zhang, although Your Excellency has received some reinforcements, with these troops, it is still not enough for the coalition forces of our Xiao Yan family. ”

Zhang Zelan smiled and said, "Could it be that Xiao Ye's gift is to persuade the general to surrender?"

Xiao Rong waved his hand and said, "It's the opposite." General Zhang didn't know that my Xiao family was born as a mussel farmer at the beginning, but because he was afraid of being robbed by water bandits, and he couldn't get the protection of the government, he fell into the grass. The life of this water bandit is not easy, the elders of the family have long wanted to spend their old age in peace, but they have never had a suitable opportunity. Now it's different from the past, my father said that since the garrison of Qiandao Mansion wants to suppress the bandits, it is better to take advantage of this joint rapids to retreat. So I don't know if General Zhang can give my Xiao Yan and his family a place to stay?"

Ben will understand it. ”

Dong Ping exchanged glances with Zhang Zelan and then said: "I've only heard of Zhao'an, but I haven't heard of anyone who took the initiative to find someone who wanted to be recruited." I don't know what Xiao Dangjia is planning, and I hope Xiao Ye will understand. ”

Xiao Rong said lightly: "What I said below is clear enough, as long as General Zhang can meet the three requirements put forward by his father, then our Xiao Yan family will all be under the command of the general." ”

Zhang Zelan's eyes showed some excitement, and he forced his voice down and said, "Tell me." ”

Xiao Rong said with a smile: "First of all, let Yan Feihuang Yan go to the house, this is the first requirement." Second, all the brothers of my Xiao Yan family were merged into the garrison of Qiandao Prefecture. Third, after these brothers entered the barracks, they were still under the command of their father, and what kind of official position should be held by the father should be discussed and reported by General Zhang and others. ”

Hearing this, Dong Ping understood why Yan Feihuang wanted to come down alone. He said secretly: "Yan Feihuang transferred his manpower to the Xiao family in order to increase the strength of the Xiao family, so that the Xiao family can have the capital to negotiate. And his intention to come down alone, I think it should be that there must be someone in the Xiao family who does not agree to be recruited, if you want these people to shut up, then he Yan Feihuang and his transfer to the Xiao family will become two important chess pieces. As long as Xiao Mengzhi does not surrender to Xuancheng, Yan Feihuang will have to worry about his life, then the Yan family bandits in the Xiao family will definitely force the palace to make trouble because they are worried about Yan Feihuang's safety. In this way, three birds are killed with one stone. Not only did this knock the birds down, but even the eggs were broken, but our eggs were broken!"

Dong Ping thought about it, and then he heard Zhang Zelan, who had been silent for a long time, said with a smile: "The stakes are very high, whether Xiao Ye can retreat first, Rong Ben will discuss it with other generals." ”

Xiao Rong got up and hugged his fists and said, "This is natural, then I will wait for good news." With that, Xiao Rong was escorted down again.

And as soon as Xiao Rong left, Zhang Zelan couldn't wait to say: "Good opportunity, great opportunity!"

Dong Ping echoed when he heard this: "Yes, it's a good opportunity, a great opportunity." General Zhang, now as long as we cut off Yan Feihuang's head, the Xiao family will be broken without attacking. ”

"Oh, why did Dong join the army say this?"

Zhang Zelan's face changed slightly, and Dong Ping saw it in his eyes.

"It seems that this chapter Zeeland is not the same idea as me. Dong Ping shook his head and quickly told his speculation.

Zhang Zelan smiled after hearing this: "What Dong Senjun said is reasonable and well-founded, but have you ever thought that since Yan Feihuang dared to come alone, it means that he is ready to die." If we kill him, it will be a good thing that his subordinates will be able to defect, but what if they are the same enemy and want to avenge Yan Feihuang?

Dong Ping nodded and said, "General Zhang is reasonable, although my suggestion has loopholes, but it is the best way now." If Yan Feihuang is killed, it doesn't matter if the Yan family's people don't defect. Anyway, they all want to meet each other with swords and guns, and General Zhang thinks that it is easier to deal with a unified and orderly enemy, or is it easier to deal with a reckless and impulsive enemy?"

Hearing this, Zhang Zelan asked rhetorically: "Who said that there is only one way, since you can recruit the people of these two families, why bother to meet each other." ”

Dong Ping said with a smile: "Let's not talk about whether his Xiao family proposed to be Zhao'an who came to take advantage of the fire to rob, just based on their crackling shrewd calculations, then we must not agree." If General Zhang, you have agreed to Zhao'an now, then how are you going to settle them?"

Zhang Zelan said lightly: "Who told you that Ben was going to settle them? Ben should make the best use of everything." If they really want to enter the garrison of the Kuril Prefecture, they must show some sincerity. ”

Dong Ping heard this, he sneered: "General Zhang wants to borrow a knife to kill people, has he ever thought about it, if he wants to borrow a knife, then he has to have a hand." With our current severed limbs and stump arms, how should we master this sharp blade, don't let the knife come off its sheath and hurt ourselves in the end. ”

"Dong joins the army in the coming days, all kinds of behaviors can be judged by four words, how can the opportunity is now close at hand, but it has become like walking on thin ice and cautious. ”

Dong Ping said lightly: "That's because I know how many catties I have." ”

Zhang Zelan nodded and said: "Yes, Dong Senjun is self-aware, Dong Senjun did not become a general of this party, which is the blessing of this party's soldiers." Your proposal would have been rejected. After that, Zhang Zelan raised his head and said loudly: "Come on, invite Xiao Ye in." Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Rong was escorted in.

The soldiers on the left and right looked at Zhang Zelan's eyes, then let go of Xiao Rong and retreated to the sides.

General Zhang called him in, and it seemed that he had already made a decision. ”

Zhang Zelan smiled: "Yes, Ben Jiang has already made a decision." But those three requests of yours, now you can only agree to the first two, as for Ling Zun's official position, you still need to report to the Shu Palace, Chengdu Yamen, and make a decision. ”

Xiao Rong said with a smile: "General Zhang really has this sincerity, if you answer these three requests at once, then you should mutter in your heart." ”

Zhang Zelan nodded and said, "If you say so, your Xiao Yan family has already been commanded by the general." ”

Xiao Rong was stunned when he heard this, and immediately said: "Since I, Xiao Yan, and the two families are sincere to you, the general, then you should be in charge." ”

"Bang!"

Zhang Zelan slapped the table abruptly and said: "Then Xiao Ye will go back and report to Xiao Master, let him pack up the team, and after half an hour, he will move to the other side with Ben General." ”

Xiao Yan hurriedly replied: "This is absolutely impossible, my father has instructed that as long as his official position is not sealed for a day, then he will not listen to anyone's dispatch." ”

"Xiao Ye, speaking of which, you are playing the general. Zhang Zelan's tone was cold, and the listener was shocked.

Xiao Rong hugged his fists and said: "General Zhang's words are wrong, although my Xiao family is here to surrender, but now with General Zhang, you are stunned, and it is also a nameless teacher." To put it mildly, if General Zhang uses us as a sword and throws it away, then our Xiao Yan family will have no place to reason!" Xiao Rong said, thinking that Zhang Zelan would be angry. But he didn't think about it, Zhang Zelan suddenly smiled as if he was thinking about this: "It turns out that Xiao Ye is worried about this, but he didn't think about it." In that case, there would have been a proposal. ”

"General Zhang, please speak. ”

Zhang Zelan said with a smile: "Can you talk to Xiao Dangjia in person on the lower island." In order to show the sincerity of Ben Jiang, Ben will bring Xiao Dangjia to the island. ”

Xiao Rong was overjoyed when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "This is naturally possible, General Zhang will go to the island, and the father of the family should be waiting for him." ”

Dong Ping watched and listened silently. Suddenly, he seemed to understand what the hell Zelan was trying to do. Zhang Zelan suddenly looked at Dong Ping and said abruptly: "Dong joins the army, you are the right hand of the general, I don't know if you are willing to go to the island with the general?"

Dong Ping smiled and said, "If General Zhang is asking for my opinion, then I don't want to." If General Zhang is an order in his capacity as a general, then I will have to go. ”

Zhang Zelan said lightly: "Dong joins the army and reminds me well, where is there anything in the barracks whether there is anything willing or not." Ben will order you to go to the island with Ben general, and he has shown his sincerity. ”

Leaning in the window, I only saw the drizzle falling in the lake, and it also showed some splashing meaning. Leng Piaopiao suddenly heard a commotion outside the cabin, and she was in a hurry and ran out. As soon as she went out, she saw Yan Feihuang, who was originally imprisoned, standing on the deck at this time, and Zhang Zelan and Dong Ping wanted to get off the boat.

Seeing this, Leng Piaopiao hurriedly ran forward, stopped Dong Ping and said, "Dong... Brother Dong, where are you going?"

Dong Ping smiled and said: "Go to the opposite island for a walk, people are going to come to surrender, don't we have to go over to show sincerity?"

Leng Piaopiao hurriedly said: "If Brother Dong wants to go deep into the enemy camp, then you must take me with you." ”

Dong Ping waved his hand and said: "General Zhang doesn't bring a guard, how can I have this qualification, Leng Shaoxia still stays on the ship, and I will come back in a while." After that, Dong Ping stared at Leng Piaopiao's crystal clear eyes for a moment, and then smiled to himself: "Leng Shaoxia take care." ”

Immediately, Dong Ping climbed off the boat and jumped onto a light boat, followed by Xiao Rong and Yan Feihuang. Leng Piaopiao froze in place, her lips twitched back and forth for a moment, then her eyes were firm, and she turned around and disappeared into the night.

The light boat is free and casual, and the rain and fish are all singing.

Yan Feihuang said with a smile: "This Dong joins the army, it seems that I, Yan someone, will not be the prisoner of the rank in your mouth soon." ”

Dong Ping smiled and said: "Yan is the master of the family, I admire it." ”

Yan Feihuang said with a smile: "Dong joined the army and humbled himself, the bait you once put down really blurred the flesh and blood of my Yan's mouth." But you shouldn't have let that girl go, that girl is very powerful. ”

Zhang Zelan said suddenly: "According to the general, at that time, fortunately, Dong Shenjun released the love of Yan's subordinates, otherwise where would we be able to take a boat at this time." ”

Yan Feihuang sighed: "General Zhang is right, after these few battles with Yan, I realized that we are far more comfortable to be friends than to be enemies." Besides, what can you do as a water bandit, you still have to follow the family of officials like General Zhang to get ahead. ”

Dong Ping said with a smile: "It's just a matter of becoming a king and defeating a villain, if the Yan family wants to be an official family, then just kill all the official families who are blocking him?"

Yan Feihuang laughed and said: "I, Yan, don't have that ability, Dong Senjun said with a smile." ”

As soon as Yan Feihuang's words fell, the light boat docked.

Through the faint light of the fire, you can see the fierceness on the faces of the bandits on the shore and the killing intent in their eyes.

"Stand down, these two generals are here for peace talks. ”

With Xiao Feihuang's scolding, the water bandits on the shore retreated to both sides, and a passage flashed out. Zhang Zelan turned around and reached out to take the rope tied to Yan Feihuang's body, and the rope was broken seven or eight times. After Yan Feihuang moved his hands and feet, he jumped off the boat and said, "Two of you, please." ”

In the hinterland of the island, in front of the Xiao family's house.

Xiao Mengzhi had been waiting in front of the door for a long time, pacing back and forth, full of anxiety. Suddenly, he froze, his eyes lit up. Immediately, he laughed and stepped forward and said, "Brother Yan, foolish brother has been waiting for a long time!"

Yan Feihuang walked to the front and back of Xiao Meng's body and said, "Brother Xiao, look, this is General Zhang Zelanzhang." The other is Dong Ping, Dong joined the army. ”

When Xiao Mengzhi heard Zhang Zelan's name, he was moved, and he hurriedly smiled: "I didn't expect that such a low lintel of my Xiao family could usher in General Zhang, your big Buddha, and it is an honor to be in Xiao Mengzhi." ”

Zhang Zelan smiled and said: "Master Xiao is polite, we will be brothers in the first battalion in the future, what are you doing with these words?"

"Exactly, exactly, a few of them are invited to take their seats. ”

Xiao Mengzhi said that, when Dong Ping was about to move forward, Yan Feihuang said violently: "General Zhang, I don't know if we should talk about official business or gossip first." ”

"Naturally, official duties come first. ”

Yan Feihuang nodded and said, "When it comes to official business, of course, the fewer people the better." I privately think that the three of us can talk about it, and as for Dong Senjun, he will wait outside, after all, this follower must have the appearance of a follower. ”

Dong Ping smiled dumbly when he heard this: "Yan Dangjia is really stingy, you have memorized what I said casually." ”

Yan Feihuang said lightly: "Yan is just talking about things, General Zhang, what do you think?"

Zhang Zelan nodded and said: "This general also has this intention, but he failed to let Dong join the army and see the world with this general, and this general is also a little unhappy." ”

Dong Ping smiled and said: "General Zhang doesn't have to worry about not going, just wait outside for the army." ”

When Xiao Mengzhi heard this, he said: "This Dong Senjun can stay in the gatehouse to avoid the rain first, and arrange for someone to bring hot tea over in the next meeting." ”

"Xiao is considerate, if you send a few more girls, it will be even more convenient to join the army. ”

Xiao Mengzhi heard it, but he didn't know how to answer.

Seeing this, Zhang Zelan glanced at Dong Ping and said to Xiao Mengzhi: "Don't pay attention to him, Dong is a good joker, let's talk about important matters first." With that, he took the lead in entering the house, followed by Xiao Mengzhi. Yan Feihuang said lightly when he entered the door: "If Dong joins the army and sits in this mansion, Yan will protect your life, but if you can't bear to wander around lonely, what will the brothers on the island who hate officers and soldiers do, then Yan will not be able to control it." ”

Dong Ping said with a smile: "Don't worry, Master Yan, this army is guaranteed to kill them all." ”

"Then Dong joins the army, but he must do what he says. ”

Yan Feihuang said, looked up to the sky and laughed and stepped into the door.

And as soon as he left, the water bandits from all directions came over and surrounded Dong Ping, and there were several powerful characters who breathed heavily.

Seeing this, Dong Ping sneered and said, "Ben joined the army, it's easy to joke." ”

At the same time, Xiao Mengzhi had already driven left and right, and led Xiao Zhang and the others into a clean room. As soon as the three of them sat down around the table, Xiao Mengzhi said: "General Zhang, you can come this time, and your gratitude is beyond words. And Brother Yan, Brother Fool wants to thank you for ignoring your past suspicions and risking your life to find a broad road for Brother Fool and his brothers. ”

Yan Feihuang smiled and said: "Brother Xiao is serious, just like General Zhang said, his brother doesn't speak two words. ”

Zhang Zelan nodded and said, "That's true, that general is also straight to the point." Xiao is in charge, and he will go to the island in person today, in order to ask Xiao in charge of the family to help me and follow the army to suppress bandits. ”

"This ......"

Xiao Mengzhi froze when he heard this, and after being stunned for a moment, he said: "General Zhang, presumably the dog has already explained that before those three requirements are realized, Zai Xia will not send troops. But General Zhang, please rest assured, although our Xiao Yan family will not send troops, in terms of money and food, they will definitely support General Zhang. ”

Yan Feihuang smiled and said: "That's the truth, we were all beaten by the wind and waves of this Thousand Island Mansion." I have seen many examples of people who have gone back on their word and killed people with knives. General Zhang is so shrewd, and we are also afraid of the fate of losing both personal and financial resources. ”

Zhang Zelan said with a smile: "The general knew the concerns of the two masters, so he brought Dong Senjun to the island together." ”

"What does this mean?" asked Xiao Mengzhi.

Zhang Zelan said lightly: "Presumably the two of you don't know the weight of this Dong Senjun on Whale Swallowing Island, right?"

Xiao Mengzhi nodded and said, "I really haven't heard of the name of Dong joining the army. ”

Zhang Zelan said with a smile: "It's not a secret, although this Dong joined the army for less than a month, he has done a lot of important things. Today, he was able to launch a general attack on the water bandits in Qiandao Province, and it was all thanks to his advice in the battalion. His weight, Yan Dangjia should be able to see a thing or two. ”

Yan Feihuang said lightly: "Yan can be regarded as having some indirect dealings with that Dong Senjun, he did just come to Qiandao Mansion, but before he entered Qiandao Mansion, he captured the four waves girl under me." ”

Xiao Mengzhi's expression changed when he heard this, and he exclaimed: "There is such a thing!"

Yan Feihuang nodded and said: "Yes, and he released the four waves after he caught them, it can be seen that this person is indeed far-sighted." And with him, a newcomer, he only joined the army with a false name. can be appointed as the main general to attack my Yan family, and it can also be seen that he is very valued by that Shi general. ”

"Then why didn't you two say it earlier, it would be a big disrespect to arrange that Dong Senjun in the gatehouse!"

At this time, Zhang Zelan raised his hand to stop him and said, "If you don't keep him outside, how can you wipe off your face and turn him into a hostage?"

"Hostage! General Zhang, this can't be helped. I, Xiao Mengzhi, really want to surrender, so I can make a mistake at this critical time!" Xiao Mengzhi refused again and again when he heard this.
