Yu Chengzhu was so clever, seeing that the two of them were not speculative, he urged them to hurry away and ran to the southeast mountain pass, only to see that a biao of soldiers and horses had already greeted him, and Ye Zongliu was at the forefront. It turned out that Ye Zongliu was familiar with the terrain, led the Japanese to a desperate valley, and stubbornly defended it with danger, only with his four or five hundred troops, it was enough to deal with more than thousands of Japanese robbers on both sides, and then the leader of the Japanese invaders received the news that the west road had been defeated, and hurriedly retreated, Ye Zongliu got the help of reinforcements sent by Bi Qingtian, and took advantage of the situation to chase and kill, and he had won a complete victory.

On the second day, everyone rejoiced. Ye Zongliu made an exception to slaughter more than a dozen big pigs, a feast to celebrate, on the banquet, Ye Zongliu proposed to ask Bi Qingtian to be the commander-in-chief of the anti-Japanese rebel army, and he was willing to be his deputy, this matter Ye Zongliu had already dredged up to his subordinates, there was no objection, Bi Qingtian was actually willing in his heart, but on the surface, he repeatedly humbled himself, Ye Zongliu recommended it, Bi Qingtian saw that the "play" had been done enough, and was trying to pretend to be helpless, and took over the position of commander-in-chief, Tie Jingxin suddenly said: "This thing must not be done." Brother Ye has been fighting with the Japanese for a long time, he is familiar with the enemy's situation, and he is a local, and there are many conveniences. Ye Zongliu said: "Bi Da Longtou is powerful in the five provinces, and the official army has fought hundreds of battles, and the combat experience is far better than mine, and the matter of resisting the Japanese is concentric, everyone thinks about it, we are equal to the arms of Bi Da Longtou, and how can we divide each other." Bi Dalong's skills are a hundred times better than mine, so it's better to ask him to be this commander. ”

Tie Jingxin had objections, Bi Qingtian couldn't stop being humble again, Tie Jingxin said: "Yes, the anti-Japanese soldiers don't distinguish between each other, so why let them go? Not to mention that fighting with the officials and troops is different from fighting against the Japanese invaders, now everyone in the coastal provinces knows that Brother Ye is the leader of the anti-Japanese rebels, and if he changes his person, there are more disadvantages and fewer benefits, and Brother Ye gives way, which shows that he is a corporal of courtesy and virtuous, and Bi Longtou's humble resignation also shows that he is above board." Both deserve admiration. Brother Ye should accept Bi Longtou's push, and there is no need to let it go anymore. "What Tie Jingxin said makes a lot of sense, there were many people in the leaders of the rebel army who didn't want Ye Zongliu to give way, but only because of Ye Zongliu's previous dredging, they pushed Bi Qingtian, and now they heard Tie Jingxin say it reasonably, and they have retained Ye Zongliu. Bi Qingtian hated Tie Jing's heart so much, but seeing that the situation had changed, Ye Zongliu's leadership was a foregone conclusion, and his thoughts changed, but he laughed and said: "Tie Xianggong is a scholar after all, with far-sightedness, and he has said everything in my heart." Brother Ye, you are what everyone expects, you don't have to push it anymore. Moreover, the day will come when the fight against the Japanese invaders will come to an end, and we will have many big things to work together in the future. Yu Chengzhu was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: Why did Bi Qingtian push away the steamed buns in his mouth again, has his ambition been reined in? But listening to his words, there seems to be a deep meaning in it.

Ye Zongliu treats his own people with sincerity, and he has no city in his heart, and when he heard Bi Qingtian say this, he said: "Since Bi Dalongtou tried his best to make it difficult for me, I had to obey my orders. Bi Longtou is right, in addition to fighting against the Japanese, we still have many things to work together in the future. So, I think let's do it, at the moment I am still the leader of the anti-Japanese rebel army, but I want to serve Bi Longtou as the leader of the alliance, Bi Longtou is now the leader of the green forest of the five northern provinces, and I will be responsible for the future, and invite the green forest heroes of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces to join together, and in the future, the Japanese will be expelled from the sea, and after the coastal peace is safe, we will all listen to the command of Bi Dalongtou. This is exactly what Bi Qingtian expected, listening to Ye Zongliu say it himself, with a little excuse, he will immediately make a blood alliance. Ye Zongliu just wanted to unite the poor people for the benefit of the public; Tie Jingxin was not interested in the activities of the green forest at all, although he was dissatisfied with Bi Qingtian, he never thought that Bi Qingtian had such great ambitions, and wanted to use Ye Zongliu to fight for him in the future, and when he saw that the two of them had reached an agreement, he no longer intervened.

After the great victory, after half a month, the righteous army after reorganization, the fighting spirit is high, Ye Zong left the order to open the mountain, and the militia from all over the country, a series of several victories, the Japanese invaders were driven to the west dock only more than ten miles away from the sea, the Japanese invaders were supported by a group of ronins from the country, the two armies are still holding each other, Ye Zongliu divided his troops to block the way of the Japanese invaders, leaving only this side to the sea, lest it flow to the interior, is preparing for a decisive battle, one day, the commander of the Japanese suddenly sent two messengers to write a book. The two Japanese envoys had an arrogant attitude, Ye Zongliu took the letter, only to see that it was written: "Your two armies, we can't hold each other, it's easy to take a break? It seems that this letter was written by a shameless scribe who surrendered to the Japanese Invaders, using Chinese historical facts and Japanese terms, nondescript, Tie Jingxin explained the meaning of the letter to Ye Zongliu, and said: "The Japanese invaders invited us to participate in the martial arts competition in their army, and there must be no good intentions." During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the nations fought against each other, although there were often hostile two countries, and on the Spring and Autumn Period, the two sides ceased war and held archery and horse riding competitions, but it was a dispute between their own people. Now we are fighting a foreign war, and the Japanese are not Japan's official army. Even according to the ancient rites, it cannot be regarded as an 'enemy', and this letter is not worth exposing to China's historical facts, so I don't need to ignore it, just beat the two envoys with fifty sticks and expel them. ”

Bi Qingtian said with a smile: "It's a shame that you still have the heart to discuss whether his letter was written correctly or not, so you just shred it up and bombarded him." Ye Zongliu pondered for a long time, and suddenly said: "The Japanese are scheming, but now our troops are enough to deal with it, and we don't have to be afraid." Okay, let's just plan and go to participate in some of his big hands. Tie Jingxin said: "What is the plan of the eldest brother?" Ye Zongliu smiled and said: "Now that we have the upper hand, we only need to take one step at a time, and we can win the battle." I guess the Japanese invaders invited us to participate in the competition this time, and nine times out of ten, they wanted to paralyze us, and then take advantage of our unpreparedness to carry out a sneak attack. Just be prepared and teach him that there is no return. It's just that the people who go to participate are in a very dangerous situation, and we need to pick a few strong men with great skills to go, that is, they can win the pass in the thousands of troops. ”

Zhao Ping'an said with a smile: "Commander Ye is like a god, presumably the Japanese will inevitably lift a stone to shoot themselves in the foot this time." As for this big hand, it is better to go and participate in it from the poor road. Although Poor Dao is not young, he still has some kung fu under his hands, even if the widow has bad intentions, Poor Dao is confident that he will retreat with some confidence. Tie Jingxin smiled embarrassedly, and Ye Zongliu said: "Tianxuan Dao is a master of martial arts, so naturally there is no need to take the Japanese in his eyes. It's just that the Taoist is alone, and it is difficult to speak alone, so it is better to have someone to walk with you so that you can take care of each other. Tie Jingxin said: "I'll go with Yu Chengzhu." Bi Qingtian looked sideways and said with a smile: "Tie Xianggong, this is a matter of sumo wrestling, but it is not as good as chanting." Tie Jing's heart changed color, and Ye Zongliu hurriedly said: "Tie Gongzi has excellent martial arts, and he is expected not to miss, but it is better to go to a few more people, Brother Bi, do you also intend to take advantage of the excitement? It would be more stable if you went." Bi Qingtian originally had no intention of going, but later heard that Tie Jingxin wanted to invite Yu Chengzhu to go with him, he was jealous in his heart, and he also wanted to go with him, but he took into account his identity as the "leader of the alliance", so it was inconvenient to speak, but he was happy that Ye Zong invited him to go too, and took up his identity, and smiled at the moment: "Big brother has a life, how dare you disobey?" and immediately agreed.
