Chapter Twenty-Five: Ambush in the Snow
"Three hundred miles to Qiqihar, where the mountains are undulating, the forests are deep and the snow is thick, and it is far away from people, even if there is any fighting, no one will notice it within tens of miles. If I'm not wrong in my judgment, Sun Fatzi and his gang should do something around here. Let's find a suitable place to block the attack, hide in advance, wait and see, and don't let them detect it too soon. General Yin arranged.
After a few more moments, between the two mountain beams, there was a valley cut by a knife. This is a good place for natural blockade, and it has always been a place where marching generals are especially vigilant. For example, Sun Bin shot Pang Juan's Maling Road, and Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms burned the upper valley of Sima Yi's father and son. The generals who have been fighting for a long time have a personal experience of this. General Yin can choose here, and it is estimated that that Baji Sun will not disappoint him.
The two stopped the dog and pulled it to the leeward part of the hill to hide. General Yin took the cooked pig's trotters prepared in advance and fed them to the big dog. Eight Mongolian dogs were quite humane, and after eating the meat, they lay on the leeward side of the snowless mountain col, not moving or barking, and resting wholeheartedly.
General Yin took Xiao Wang to find a large pine tree with dense branches and leaves. This pine is located on the inner side of the mountain cliff, the trunk is strong, the branches and leaves are luxuriant, the crown is huge, the shape is like an umbrella cover, and the square circle is five zhang. In this ice and snow, there is a majestic posture. The canopy of the trees is covered with a thick layer of snow, which is as safe as it is sheltered.
General Yin picked up Xiao Wang and jumped between the pine branches, and a small amount of snow fell, covering the footprints. Sitting on the thick branches, the two of them are one with the branches and leaves, and they will never be seen easily.
"Uncle, can they not take this road?" After all, the child was not so determined, and he couldn't help but ask.
"Why is Zhuge Kongming so clever?" General Yin looked at him left and right, and did not directly answer Xiao Wang's question.
"He is wise, knowledgeable, wise. Xiao Wang replied without thinking.
"That's right, but it's not to the point. General Yin smiled.
"Hmmโis that some secret he has in his possession?" said Xiao Wang after thinking for a moment, and then said tentatively.
"Yes. He has insight into the secrets of human nature. General Yin said in one word.
Xiao Wang didn't ask again, just thought quietly, as if he had gained something.
"Human nature is an inherent attribute of itself. Man is human because his attributes are fundamentally different from those of other species. Human nature has its positive side and at the same time its negative side. It can't be helped. The world knows that beauty is beauty, and evil is evil. We all know that what is good is good, and what is not good is good. Therefore, there is no mutual birth, difficulty and ease are mutually compatible, the length is dwarfed, the high and the low are inclined to each other, the sound is harmonious, and the front and back are with each other. It's human. Depending on the person's worldview and values, human nature is expressed differently. In view of the weaknesses of human nature, corresponding countermeasures can be implemented, and one in one hundred can be lost. General Yin explained.
After Xiao Wang listened, he thought silently for a long time. then said his thoughts, although it was a temporary judgment, it also showed the high qualifications of this child: "For example, Zhang Fugui's hometown is in the southwest. If you travel in a straight line, you will be guarded by the enemy. Although the other directions are hidden, the road is far away, and the variables are definitely greater. So he will choose a path that is roughly the same, but a little off, and when he feels safe, he will go straight to his destination. Of course, whether it is the Eight Poles Sun or the uncle, you will have a way to prevent errors in judgment and have your own remedies. Is that so, uncle?"
"You can teach. That's exactly what you're talking about. "General Yin is very happy.
"That Eight Poles Sun has a huge force, and of course it is entrenched locally, I can guess their deployment. But uncle, you have always been with me, how do you convey such orders?" Xiao Wang hesitated for a moment, unable to suppress the child's curiosity, and finally asked this sentence, and as if he was afraid of committing some taboo of General Yin, he lowered his head, as if waiting to be criticized.
"Your uncle and I, in the area of Daxinganling, the power should be the first. Apparently nothing will happen here, and I can't get a hand in it. "General Yin did not boast of strength, in fact, it was much deeper and broader than he said. The ancestors of the Tiger Clan have been operating in this area for tens of thousands of years, and their relationship with various races is complex, and they can rely on the huge amount of power, which may not be unsurpassed, but it is also very important.
"By the time we got the plow, I had already laid it out. After many years of follow-up, I don't need to say more, it's all arranged. "There are three of General Yin's right-hand men, all of whom are little-known hidden masters. People are like this, the famous may not be really powerful, and the unknown may influence the situation. Calling forward and hugging is by no means the style of General Yin, so when necessary, as a subordinate, he will always follow not far away, no need to speak out to negotiate arrangements, sometimes just a look, is enough; and even sometimes, even a look is not needed, many years of personal companionship, know what to do.
The wind is getting tighter, and the twilight is blank.
There was no news in the distance, but the clouds were thick and heavy, and it seemed that it was snowing again.
"Ah, it's a little cold, it's okay now, let's go and get warm in the plow for a while." "General Yin obviously doesn't feel so cold that he can't stand it, he mainly cares about this kid.
The tiger clan is now in decline, but the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff. Although it is no longer easy for people to see wild Siberian tigers, there are more Siberian tigers in parks and legends, but the inheritance of the family has never been interrupted, and the cultivation of the successors of the family has never stopped. Hidden traces are also a kind of strategy. With the help of Mr. Wang, who was proficient in the formation, he set up a super large array in the area where the clansmen gathered, which could not only protect the clan, but also confuse foreign invasions. And the rise and fall of each clan has its inevitable laws, and General Yin is also well versed in it, restraining the clansmen and acting in a low-key manner. All worldly matters are handed over to the outer disciples to deal with, and most of these peripheral disciples are human beings, so they don't have to worry about any adverse effects.
The reason why he is so enthusiastic about cultivating Xiao Wang is that he really likes this child. This kid has excellent roots and qualifications, and his skills have been passed on to him, and he should live up to his art industry. It is not bad to have a descendant in your own clan, but the length of time of inheritance is beyond the reach of humans. Therefore, giving this child some guidance may bring a lot of surprises in this life. So, when the weather gets colder, I can't help but remind the child. Although Xiao Wang has no mana, he should still have a strong physique and a tenacious will. Just to see, how it goes. Before asking, you already know the answer.
"It's okay, uncle. I'm not cold. โ
