Chapter 108 Into the deep forest to find help, make an alliance to fight the enemy together
"Sir. I wonder what you're going to do next?"
Seeing that Zhang Zheng had not spoken for a long time, Li Feng asked.
Zhang Zheng took a deep breath and asked again: "According to what you say, the grain has been moved to the North Castle by Na Zhang Feng?"
"That's right. This is a full 3,000 stone of grain! But it can make a thousand people eat for half a year, and there is no reason for Zhang Feng to give up. Li Feng hurriedly replied.
Zhang Zheng gritted his teeth and immediately made up his mind, "If that's the case, then we can only attack." Otherwise, after the three days have passed, and all the food has been consumed, it will be completely bad. "Although the soldiers under his command are brave, they are not iron-clad, if there is no food, they will soon lose their physical strength, let alone destroy the other party, even if it is a problem to protect themselves.
"It's nature. Li Feng replied.
"But I only brought a hundred or so people with me on this trip, which is not enough, and if I want to break through the north castle, it is still a little insufficient. ”
Zhang Zheng sighed and asked again: "Do you know if there are any people here who have a grudge against that Zhang Feng? If so, bring them." I'm going to arm them with the captured guns, so that I can increase my strength so that I don't escape again this chapter and the previous one. ”
The strength of the North Castle is not weak, and the population of the clan is enough to reach out to thousands, even if he can break through it, his command will definitely suffer a lot of losses, so he wants to recruit some people from the local area to help him destroy the other party.
"Have a grudge against Zhang Feng?"
Li Feng thought for a moment, and then said, "If that's the case, I would think of someone." ”
"Who is it?" asked Zhang Zheng with some surprise.
"His name is Zhao Tieniu. Li Feng replied: "Just six years ago, I heard that for some reason, Zhao Tieniu and Zhang Feng fell out, and later gathered dozens of people to compete with Zhang Feng all the time. Because he had always been hiding in the mountains, Zhang Feng could not exterminate him. The two have been entangled until now. ”
"That's good. Can you bring him with you?" asked Zhang Zheng.
Li Feng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and replied, "This, I'm just afraid it won't work." After all, I also offended him because of some things back then, if I knew him, I could not be beaten by him, how could I bring him here?"
"Hmph. It's also you who did your own death, otherwise where would these things have happened?" Zhang Zheng thought about it for a while and knew the reason.
This Li Feng used to drink Zhang Feng a lot, and he didn't know how many dirty things he had done in private, so naturally he couldn't be treated by Zhao Tieniu, and the reason why he helped Zhang Zheng now was just to see the wind and rudder.
Zhang Feng is just a small landlord, how can he go against the Red Phoenix Army?
"The lesson of the chief is that his subordinates will definitely correct it in the future. ”
Li Feng was submissive, and the embarrassment on his face became more and more intense, now he only thinks about making meritorious contributions, where can he care about anything else?
Zhang Zheng sighed and said, "Although this is the case, maybe you can fight for it." Thinking of this, he immediately summoned his deputy and asked him to be responsible for managing the entire Chunhua, and he took a dozen soldiers to the mountains and forests where Zhao Tieniu often haunted.
When they came here, it was in the morning, and after solving the attack of Zhang Feng and others, it was already approaching the third pole of the sun, and by the time they came to the mountains and forests where Zhao Tieniu often frequented, it was already sunset and dusk.
Standing outside this jungle, Zhang Zheng's eyebrows were slightly upturned, and he saw that there were towering giant trees everywhere in front of him, and at a glance, except for the branches and leaves, he couldn't see anything else, and between the mountains and forests, the gurgling stream flowed downstream, which was enough to wash away any traces left behind, and it was a good place to hide his body.
When Zhang Zheng saw this scene, he didn't sigh in surprise: "No wonder that guy has been able to lurk so far." If you hide here, if there is no one to lead you, you will definitely not be able to get out smoothly. But in order to complete the task, it seems that there is still a need to go through it. ”
In addition to this complex terrain, in order to resist Zhang Feng's invasion, Zhao Tieniu will definitely set up various traps in this mountain forest.
If it's daytime, it's fine, but if it's night, it's dangerous, and if you're not careful, you might fall into the valley and die with no place to be buried.
Zhang Zheng cheered up and stepped into it, probably because autumn has arrived, many leaves have fallen, and when you step on it, it will make a creaking sound, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will step on the small animals lurking in it, if you encounter poisonous snakes, centipedes and other poisons, it will be even worse.
Being here, the group of people who came here were even more cautious, even if they were all trained elite soldiers, they still didn't dare to be careless.
In this way, after about an hour, everyone felt a little tired.
"I said, sir, shall we continue?"
At this moment, the sun had already set, and Yuehua didn't know when she slipped behind the dark clouds, and it was completely dark in front of her, if it weren't for the fact that they were all equipped with martial arts and could open the eye of the sky, they really didn't dare to stay here.
Of course, this Heavenly Eye has a deep consumption of true power, and even Zhang Zheng, who has the most profound skills, can only last for two hours.
Zhang Zheng was a little unwilling, and continued: "Hold on a little longer, just hold on for another half an hour." He was also a little decadent and had already given up on the intention of giving up, but he was scared at the thought of the time limit of less than three days.
If he hadn't solved the matter this time, and let that Zhang Feng continue to sabotage, he didn't know what would happen.
Cheering himself up in his heart, Zhang Zheng continued to lean forward and walked slowly forward.
At this time, just as he stepped on it, he felt a very different touch under his feet, and immediately felt a gust of wind next to him. Completely out of instinct, Zhang Zheng slammed it to the side, and as soon as the fierce fist wind swept away, dozens of bamboo arrows were swept aside.
"It's a trap!"
The soldiers behind were alert and looked around one by one.
Zhang Zheng also smiled: "Since it is a trap, it means that we have found the location of the other party's traces." Then he raised his breath and shouted, "Is Zhao Tieniu here?"
After a while, a voice came from the nearby jungle, and dozens of people came out, and these people had weapons such as bows and spears in their hands, which were also quite rudimentary, and should have been made by themselves.
At this moment, they all pointed these weapons at everyone, as if they were ready to fight for their lives anytime and anywhere.
Zhang Zheng didn't care, he could defeat this group of people with his strength alone, but at this moment, it was to invite these people out of the mountain, of course, it was impossible to coerce them by force.
"Excuse me, who is Zhao Tieniu?"
Zhang Zheng put his hands behind his back, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, and he looked scrutinizing.
One of them walked out from the crowd, came to Zhang Zheng's eyes, and asked in a puzzled tone, "Who are you, why are you looking for me?"
"My name is Zhang Zheng, and I am the person in charge of arresting Zhang Feng sent by the lord. The reason why I am here today is to ask for your help. Zhang Zheng stretched out his hand and directly said his intention: "After all, we are not very familiar with the North Castle, and we don't know what to do to be able to break through the North Castle." ”
Zhao Tieniu was nervous for a moment, and immediately held the hand handed over by the other party, and then quickly let go, and asked again: "Is what you said true?"
"Of course. Zhang Zheng felt a little regretful, put his hands behind his back again, and persuaded quite earnestly: "As long as I can get your help, I will definitely be able to capture that Zhang Feng." ”
"Hmph, how can we believe this?"
There was a voice in the crowd, it was obvious that they didn't believe Zhang Zheng's words, God knows how many hardships they had gone through in order to survive, of course, it was impossible to rush out of the mountains and forests because of Zhang Zheng's words.
Zhao Tieniu also showed some hesitation and asked, "That's right." You have to provide some evidence to prove your identity. Otherwise, how can we trust you?"
Zhang Zheng shook his head, with helplessness on his face: "If I don't have this, I don't have it on me, I put it in Chunhua." ”
"Didn't bring it?"
Zhao Tieniu was secretly vigilant, and those partners behind him were also a little vigilant, and some people even turned the crossbow arrow slightly to aim at Zhang Zheng.
Seeing this scene, the soldiers behind Zhang Zheng also took off their guns one after another, aiming at the people in front of them one by one, and they were quite sure that they could solve each other within less than a breath.
Zhang Zheng noticed that the atmosphere had become solemn, and hurriedly raised his hand and shouted, "Put down your guns." Don't forget what we're here for. ”
Although it is possible to threaten by force, Zhang Zheng does not want to use this method, so as not to disappoint the other party.
When his men heard this, they lowered their guns.
Zhao Tieniu also breathed a sigh of relief and complained: "They are not enemies, let's put down their weapons." His companions also dropped their weapons, after all, the other party was well-equipped and could destroy themselves in the first place, so there was no need to come up with these tricks.
Zhang Zheng looked at Zhao Tieniu with burning eyes, and continued to persuade: "Of course, if you don't believe it, you can wait for me to go back with me, and I will naturally prove it to you." It's just that I'm curious, do you really want to live here forever?"
"This ......"
Zhang Zheng's words probably hit everyone's minds, and one by one they showed some sadness.
But someone else retorted: "We are willing to do this, and we don't need your charity." Of course, his words were also stopped by Zhao Tieniu.
Zhao Tieniu stared at Zhang Zheng and continued to ask, "What do you mean by this?"
"It's literal. If you are willing to help me capture Zhang Feng, then I can guarantee that you will not live in this jungle, just like the wild people. How?" Zhang Zheng looked at everyone thoughtfully, after all, including Zhao Tieniu, the clothes he was wearing were all tattered, and he even needed to use leaves to cover his privacy, which was undoubtedly like a wild man.
"Are you telling the truth?"
Zhao Tieniu was silent, and the companions behind him were also full of longing.
They have always longed for the life of the town, but it is a pity that in order to survive in the past, they could only hide in the mountains and rivers and live an almost savage life.
This kind of life is unbearable for individuals.
Zhang Zheng nodded and replied, "That's right." As long as you want!"
"That's good. I promise you. ”
Zhao Tieniu gritted his teeth and nodded immediately.
Zhang Zheng laughed: "Very good." If I have your help, I will be more sure to break through the North Castle and capture Zhang Feng. ”
