Chapter Ninety-Three: The Infernal One
Eagle roaring, more than that.
The dragon is an eagle, standing on a lonely tree floating in the water. He looked at the endless waters and couldn't help but think, "Standing here, the scenery here is no different from the seaside." But in the end, there is a lack of courage, just like a fish in the sea will become a giant whale. And the long dragon that wanders with this side will turn into water snakes and loaches. ”
At this time, the autumn wind is bleak, and the sunset is not shining.
Just as he was thinking, a raft was slowly rowed behind him.
Long Zhengfeng said in a deep voice: "You came here so blatantly, aren't you afraid of attracting attention?"
"Don't worry about the dragon family, after today's incident, the people of the Yan family will treat the small one as an outcast, and no one will pay attention to my business. ”
Long Zhengfeng smiled when he heard this: "In this way, the Yan family is too ruthless. But judging from your performance today, it makes sense for the Yan family to do this. If my men had done such a humiliating thing in public, I would have thrown him into the water on the spot to feed the fish. ”
"Isn't it all a matter of the dragon's words, but the dragon was in charge of the night's sudden action, but he didn't say hello, but he really startled the little one. ”
Long Zhengfeng said lightly when he heard this: "The stakes are very high, and no mistakes are allowed." I didn't tell you in advance, but also to be on the safe side. ”
"The little one understands. I don't know what the little heirloom of the dragon family has come here today, what are the orders?"
Long Zhengfeng smiled and said: "I didn't have an order, but I came to give someone a word." ”
"Oh?"
Long Zhengfeng said: "Your father asked me to bring it to you." ”
Hearing this, the person who came looked excited for a while, but in an instant, he suppressed this excited look. He said in a trembling voice, "What did my father say?"
Long Zhengfeng smiled and said: "Your father said that he eats and wears warm every day, but he just thinks about his son and grandson." I said to him, you have to be in a hurry, your children and grandchildren are working hard day and night, although they are tired, but they are very energetic every day. Your father said to me, "Well, let them come and see me when they are free." ”
Hearing this, the visitor sighed lightly and said: "When my son was born, he went with his mother, and my father's body was already weak, and after this blow, there were some problems in his brain. Thanks to the care of the dragon family over the years, his old man will not follow me around. I have remembered the kindness of the dragon master. ”
Long Zhengfeng smiled: "What you said is good, but I know that this is not what you think. There are some words that you don't need to pick and understand, because they hurt feelings. But in recent days, I have estimated that a big war is imminent. So there are some things I have to pick and choose from you. ”
"Master Long, please speak. ”
"You will be an important pawn for me in this battle. So I don't want you to make any mistakes and cause me to lose everything. But if I lose, I can still make a comeback, but your father wants the white-haired man to send the black-haired man. Long Zhengfeng said, and the man suddenly laughed: "Don't worry, the little one will do his best." ”
Long Zhengfeng shook his head and said: "Well, in fact, I still rest assured of you, after all, for so many years, you have done a good job in everything I have explained to you." ”
"Do things for the dragon, and do your best. ”
Long Zhengfeng's face was calm, and he didn't show half of his mood fluctuations. He put his hand into his arms, took out a small porcelain bottle and threw it to the visitor: "This is the best medicine, you should heal the wound as soon as possible." With that, Long Zhengfeng released the eagle on his arm.
The eagle spread its wings and flew high, and Long Zhengfeng also stepped on the river.
After the man put away the porcelain vase, he sailed away with a gloomy expression.
Meanwhile, on Whale Swallowing Island.
Dong Ping held a crab leg in his mouth and looked around at the camp that Shi Mang had arranged for himself. Although the tent is small, it is fully furnished. On a low table, the paper, inkstone, pen and ink are complete, and the bedding on the side is also brand new.
Dong Ping stretched his waist and said to himself: "This day is very tired, it's time to rest." With that, Dong Ping wanted to take off his clothes and burrow into the futon. But no sooner had he untied his belt than the pillar lifted the curtain of the tent and walked in.
As soon as Tian Zhu came in, he smiled and said, "I said that Dong joined the army, and it hasn't been dark yet, so you're going to sleep now?"
Dong Ping smiled: "Why does General Tian have time to come to me?"
Tian Zhu said: "Didn't General Shi want you to write a written document on the strategy discussed today?" I'm going to give you some information about the bandits, so that you can use it as a reference. With that, Tian Zhu placed a stack of yellowed books on the low table.
Dong Ping said secretly when he heard this: "I forgot all about this important matter." Immediately, he smiled and said: "This is really thanks to General Tian, with this thing, I can do things with half the effort." ”
Tian Zhu nodded and said, "As long as it's useful, then I won't disturb Dong Senjun's affairs." With that, Tian Zhu limped out.
Seeing this, Dong Ping called out to Tian Zhu and said, "General Tian, how did you get this leg?"
Tian Zhu stopped, turned around and said, "It's not my good nephew who did it, and I don't know who told him today that I wouldn't let him eat meat." No, they ran to the barracks and got into a fight with me. I accidentally broke my foot, and gave him all four pork legs to make him stop. ”
Dong Ping was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "I see, but after all, Ajing is General Tian's nephew, and you, as his elder, should discipline him well." He hurt you this time, and you may not know who he will hurt next time. ”
Tian Zhu smiled bitterly: "I also want to manage it, but where can I manage it." ”
"General Tian is a real person, although he was injured today by Ajing, but it is actually thanks to me, I should help him. After thinking about it, Dong Ping said: "If General Tian doesn't dislike it, then I will help you control Ajing." ”
Tian Zhu was overjoyed when he heard this: "If Dong joins the army and is willing to help, then I am really grateful." But Ah Jing has a turbulent temper and brute strength, so I'm afraid that Dong Senjun won't be able to control him. ”
Dong Ping shook his head and said, "General Tian, don't worry, it's not like I've never seen someone more fierce than Ajing." I am still somewhat sure of disciplining an Ajing. ”
Tian Zhu laughed when he heard this: "Then I will rest assured, when this battle is over, I, Tian Zhu, will definitely invite Dong to join the army and you have a good drink!"
Dong Ping smiled and said, "Then I'll wait for General Tian's wine." ”
"It's good to say, it's easy to say!" Tian Zhu laughed and agreed, then turned around and walked out. Dong Ping, on the other hand, sat down and flipped through the books.
"Today, the total strength of the three islands is 3,674 people, the garrison of Sansheng Island is 1,500 people, and the other two islands have more than 1,000 people each. There were three hundred-man warships, two hundred ten-man warships, and seven other standard warships. However, there are more than 4,000 water bandits in Qiandao Province, and eight or nine out of ten of the seven major water bandits account for them. The Long family has a total of more than 700 water bandits, and it is the largest water bandit force in Qiandao Prefecture today. Dong Ping muttered to himself as he looked at the yellowed book.
After a while, he put down the book and said in his heart: "The strength of our army is counted all year round, but the news about the water bandits is the year before last. Now it is not clear what their strength is. Therefore, if you want to attack the Long family at the same time, and divide a part of the men and horses to attack the Lei family, the number of troops sent must be roughly the same as the total strength of the two families.
But if this happens, Mishima's garrison will be greatly weakened, which will give people an opportunity to take advantage of it. The total strength of the two families of Long and Lei is 1,600 people, and if you want to attack it unprepared, in fact, 800 people are enough. But this time we have to fight a protracted battle to attack the heart, so it is better to draw fifty percent of the troops from each of the two islands of the Whale Devouring Dragon. The burden of Sansheng Island is the heaviest, so you can draw 20% of its troops.
More than 1,300 people, enough. ”
After figuring out the allocation of troops, Dong Ping began to work hard again to finalize the deployment of troops and the specific details of the three-step attack plan.
I don't know how long it has been, but I know that it has completely darkened, and Dong Ping's tent has become the only one with lights.
Outside Whale Swallowing Island.
Zhang Zelan looked in all directions with far-reaching eyes, and although it was pitch black all around, he still found something unusual. Suddenly, several waterfowl screamed twice and swept over the water.
Seeing this, Zhang Zelan jumped off the bow of the boat and jumped into the depths of the night. After walking on the river for half an hour, Zhang Zelan stopped. In front of him was a field of reeds that were still green.
Suddenly, a raft emerged from the reeds.
Zhang Zelan's tense expression suddenly eased: "Call me in such a hurry, what's the matter?"
"It's nothing important, I just want to ask General Zhang, how is my son now?"
Zhang Zelan said lightly: "He's very good, if it's nothing important, then you can leave quickly, don't expose your identity." ”
"There's one thing, I don't know if it's important. ”
Zhang Zelan frowned and said, "Say." ”
"Yesterday, Xiao Yan's family found the Lei family, but Long Zhengfeng suddenly killed him. ”
"And then?"
Then, then they seemed to decide to deal with the Yan family together. ”
"The Yan family, why is the Yan family involved again?"
"Hey, I don't know. I am only responsible for providing information, and as for why, it is up to General Zhang to analyze. ”
Zhang Zelan nodded and said: "We will have a big move in the next few days, you are a blessing in disguise, and you are injured, presumably they will not drag you to fight." After that, Zhang Zelan took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and said, "This is the medicine I prepared myself, take it." ”
"General Zhang has a heart. After taking the porcelain vase thrown by Zhang Zelan, the person came and said, "General Zhang, when you drove me out of the barracks to be a spy. He said to me that you would take good care of my son, and promised me that you would see him once a month. But I only sneaked a peek at him a year ago, on his sixth birthday. In order to be this spy, my father is crazy, and my son is gone, what do you think I am trying to do?"
Hearing this, Zhang Zelan said coldly: "After the water bandits in Qiandao Mansion are cleared, you can naturally go to live a peaceful life with your son." I, Zhang Zelan, will also explain the situation to General Shi and find a fat difference with a lot of oil and water for you. But I hope you can do your best to get this matter done, otherwise, your son's life will not be saved. ”
"Smack!"
The person who came suddenly broke a reed and said, "I know General Zhang's methods, since this is the case, the little one won't bother much." With that, the man rowed into the depths of the reeds.
Zhang Zelan also turned to leave, his face full of cold determination.
The night is over.
When Dong Ping came to Shi Mang's tent, he found that Tian Zhu and Zhang Zelan were already in the tent. In addition to the two of them, there were seven middle-aged men in battle armor who stood on either side. Dong Ping said in his heart, this should be the seven generals that Shi Mang said. When everyone saw Dong Ping coming in, they began to talk to each other. Dong Ping sat down carelessly, and after a while, Shi Mang walked in from outside the camp. When she came, everyone stood up.
Shi Mang sat down and said, "Dong joined the army, do the document that Japan will ask you to write, have you written it?"
"It's written. Dong Ping said after taking out a few pages of paper full of fly's heads from his sleeve.
"Take it. ”
Before Shi Mang could finish speaking, a general took the pieces of paper and put them on the table in front of Shi Mang. After Shi Mang looked at it carefully, he nodded and said, "Yes, let's act according to this plan." General Zhang, this general ordered you to transfer 500 troops from Whale Swallowing Island and Longyin Island, and 300 elite soldiers from Sansheng Island. Then you will be the boss to attack the Long family, and Tian Zhu will be your deputy. For specific details, you will refer to the document written by Dong Senjun. ”
Zhang Zelan got up and hugged his fists and said, "The last general will take the order." ”
Tian Zhu Zhengse said: "The last general will take the order." ”
As soon as his words fell, he heard Dong Ping smile and said, "General Shi, there is a request below, I hope the general can agree." ”
"Speak. ”
Dong Ping nodded and said: "There is a guard named Lin Sanchuan beside him, and he has a good kung fu of piercing Yang in a hundred steps. I felt that if he could go on the expedition with General Zhang, it would be a great help. ”
Zhang Zelan said with a smile: "I think it's better to be exempted, Dong Senjun's subordinates, how dare I call it easily?"
Dong Ping said with a smile: "General Zhang's words are serious, although Lin Sanchuan is my guard, the two of us are like brothers." Ever since he came out of the northern city with me, he has been thinking about returning to the battlefield to kill the enemy. Now is an opportunity, and his follow-up to General Zhang will not only not be a drag on you, but will become a big help to you. ”
Zhang Zelan was about to speak, but was interrupted by Shi Mang: "Dong joins the army, your request will be granted." But the ugly words are ahead, although Lin Sanchuan is your escort, he is only the smallest soldier when he joins the army, and the general will never give him any preferential treatment. ”
Dong Ping smiled: "This is natural. ”
After Shi Mang hummed, he picked up the pen and wrote on the paper. After a while, Shi Mang picked up the seal and stamped it on the paper and said, "General Zhang, this troop transfer order has been written, without further ado, you go and gather the soldiers and horses." Before noon, the army must be assembled. Then, before the time, arrive at Yangyuan Island, where the Long family is located. ”
"The last general commanded. Zhang Zelan said, then picked up the order to transfer troops and walked out of the camp quickly. Then, Shi Mang said again: "General Tian, you first take a closer look at this document written by Dong Senjun. General Zhang has never liked to talk about war on paper, but this time, he must act according to the plan on paper. Letting you be his deputy also wants you to restrain him, and don't let him go too far in some things. ”
"The last general commanded. Tian Zhu took the document written by Dong Ping and said with a smile: "General Shi, what do you say if we accidentally knock down the Long family this time?"
Shi Mang was slightly stunned, and then said lightly: "I can't wait." As soon as these words came out, several of the generals in the camp laughed softly.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the mighty warship team had already been assembled and sent out.
The territory of the Yan family, Chao'an Island.
Yan Silang was pacing back and forth in front of a room with a tray on it, and on the tray was a bowl of steaming decoction. From time to time she peered through the screen window into the room, but she was always hesitant to knock on the door.
Suddenly, a man came over and said, "Sister, what are you doing here?"
Yan Silang looked stunned, and then turned his head to look: "Yan Xiao, why are you here?"
Yan Xiao grinned and said, "Brother Dou, isn't this to save me from being injured, I came to see him." With that, Yan Xiao lifted a few packs of snacks in his hand.
Yan Silang smiled and said: "You have a heart, but you are also not lightly injured, and you should be recuperated." ”
When Yan Xiao heard this, her expression darkened and said, "Eldest sister, I know that I embarrassed our Yan family yesterday." But I really want to avenge my dead brother. ”
Yan Silang shook his head and said: "I didn't blame you, how many people in this Qiandao Mansion can fight over Long Zhengfeng? Don't talk about you, even when I saw him, my legs and stomach trembled." ”
"With the words of the eldest sister, I Yan Xiaoqi was relieved. When my injury is healed, I will definitely work a hundred times for our Yan family!"
"You've got a good heart, but you've got to heal before you can play. Ah, the medicine in this bowl is for sword wounds, so you can take it and drink it. Yan Silang said, Yan Xiaoqi hurriedly said: "Eldest sister, this is tormenting me, I see that eldest sister, you have been in front of Brother Dou's house for a while, this medicine should be fried by Brother Dou, how can I Yan Xiao drink it?"
Yan Silang said: "If you let you drink it, you will drink it, and if you drink it, I will fry a bowl for Brother Dou again." ”
"Then I'll thank my eldest sister. Yan put down the dim sum, picked up the bowl of soup and drank it all. Seeing Yan Xiao drink the medicine, Yan Silang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If you come here at noon every day in the future, I will fry you an extra bowl of medicine." ”
"That's troublesome big sister. ”
Just as Yan Silang wanted to reply, a man in sackcloth walked over quickly and said a few words to Yan Silang in his ear. Yan Silang's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he left Yan Xiao behind and walked quickly with the man in sackcloth.
Yan Xiao smiled when he saw this, he picked up the dry food on the ground and pushed the door into the house.
"No one?" Yan Xiao said to herself after looking around. With that, Yan Xiaopien put the snack on the table. Soon, he was about to walk out. But when he came to the door, as if he suddenly remembered something, he turned back again.
Then, he took out two small porcelain vases from his bosom and placed them on the table.
