march to victory

The winding trail sometimes hides in the mountains, and sometimes reveals a slender figure, but it is like a white snake, coiled in the mountains.

In order to learn more about the local situation in Sanqiao County with Luo Yingjie, Zhang Qingshan led the guard squad to open the way to investigate, while Hu Yingze led a large force behind—Hu Yingze was not idle either, he was just talking to the squad brought by Luo Yingjie. The guerrillas understand the local customs and other conditions.

After more than an hour, Zhang Qingshan and others came to a place with many peaks and rough roads.

Looking around, Zhang Qingshan took a sip of water, and while covering the lid of the kettle, exclaimed, "What a good place." I don't know whether he was lamenting the beautiful surroundings, or lamenting that this is an excellent place for ambushes.

Anyway, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw two guys suddenly coming out from behind the tree about ten meters ahead of the trail: the guy on the left was holding a rifle in both hands, the muzzle facing him; With akimbo, it looks full of momentum.

It is clear at a glance: this is a bandit blocking the way.

"Who? Do you know the rules?"

The bandit with the gun looked at them, ten people dressed as ordinary people, with disdain while talking. Not only was there no fear in his aura, but he felt like he wanted to get rich.However, when Zhang Qingshan and the others took out their box cannons and pointed them at them, the guy's expression changed, he looked at them with some fear, but yelled sternly, "Why, do you want to break through?"

At this time, there was a commotion in the grass and woods around the two bandits, and they stretched out the muzzle of their rifles, aiming at Zhang Qingshan and the others.

The man with the gun was more confident now, and said with a sneer, "You idiot who doesn't know shit, and dares to fight me without inquiring about the prestige of my Jigong Village. Why, are you looking for death?"

At this time, Luo Yingjie, who was talking to Zhang Qingshan at the back, hurried to the front, clasped his fists and said with a smile: "Brother, I am Luo Yingjie, please inform your boss that my matter is urgent. Walk on the noble road of iron, and I will definitely give you a big thank you afterwards."

"Luo Yingjie?" The bandit with the gun muttered, then turned to look at the companion who had put down the big knife after hearing Luo Yingjie's name, and asked, "Why do I think this name is so familiar?" ,Have you heard of it?"

When the man with the big knife whispered something in his ear, his eyes immediately widened, and after he looked at Luo Yingjie in disbelief, he waved his hand, and the bandits around him immediately retracted their guns.

He also put his gun on his back, clasped his fists at Luo Yingjie, and said with a smile: "It turned out that Luo Da, the powerful leader of the Third Bridge, came in person. He couldn't meet him from afar. Disrespect, disrespect!"

"Where is it? Luo Mou is taking the liberty to disturb you without paying an early visit..." He also cupped his fists and asked, "This brother, I don't know..."

"This is our Third Master Tiehu, known as Da Hu, the nephew of the Great Master. Ten days ago, he had a fight with the devils, and the draw was a draw. He was invited by the Great Master by name..."

This sounds nice, but everyone understands it: This guy was either a bully or a hooligan in the past. After the devils came, he was chased away by the devils, so he came to join this group of bandits, so it's normal that Luo Yingjie has never seen him before. .

"It turned out to be Brother Dahu, a hero in the city. I've heard people say that Brother Dahu donates righteousness and donates money. He is a first-class hero in the Jianghu. Now he dares to fight against the devils. He is indeed a hero..."

After the two sides complimented each other for a while, Tiehu let them go decisively, and promised not to embarrass the people behind.

Zhang Qingshan understood that this Luo Yingjie really had a wide range of friends as stated in the information, even a small bandit leader in this valley had heard of his reputation, and he didn't dare to make any troubles. It can be seen that, Luo Yingjie is indeed mighty in this area.

However, Zhang Qingshan is a little curious about this bandit den. Anyway, he will develop in Sanqiao County in the future. No matter what kind of people, or customs, he wants to know. Curious to inquire about it.

"Old Luo, this is what your reputation really is."

Looking at Zhang Qingshan's thumbs up, Luo Yingjie smiled and said: "Commander, I can't help it. Our guerrilla brigade can't beat the security team, so we can only fight guerrillas with them and develop slowly. But for guerrillas, It is also necessary to eat, drink, and sleep, so I have to deal with these people in the green forest... Leader, let me tell you the truth, these years, without the support of the people and the help of these friends in the green forest, I am afraid that our county The guerrilla brigade has long since been disbanded."

"Well! I understand. It's really not easy for you to be realistic and flexible to lead the team up to now. In some cases, I can understand." After Zhang Qingshan nodded seriously, he felt that the topic was a bit serious, so he changed the subject : "However, Lao Luo, how many people are there in this Jigong village?"

"There are thirty or forty guns, and a hundred or so people."

"I saw that there were no other people around. How did they survive with so many people?"

"Just rely on this trail under our feet."

Seeing Zhang Qingshan look down at his feet, he looked over in confusion.Luo Yingjie said with a smile: "Commander, don't underestimate the path under our feet. This is the most important path for smuggling in our Sanqiao County. Not only caravans go here, but some smugglers also take opium, salt, etc. The profiteering goods basically come and go from this trail. Therefore, the gang of heroes in Jigong Village are fat because they are sitting on this trail. "

"Since this trail is so rich, no one will come to grab the site?"

"Why not. Back then, there were two other groups of people on this trail, but after a few years, they were all taken away by the head of the Jigong Village, Iron Rooster."

"Is he so capable?"

"Well! He can be regarded as capable. Although his nickname is Iron Rooster, which sounds like a penny, but in fact, he is very generous. If any friend is in trouble, he will help and protect him if he finds him. Therefore, he This area has a great reputation and many friends, everyone gives him face, small forces can't eat him, and big forces can't touch him. In addition, he protects the people around him, and restrains his subordinates not to bully the people, even The common people had a minor calamity, and he took the initiative to help them through it, and the surrounding people supported him and secretly served as a secret sentry for him...Anyway, with his tricks, he built this place into his territory, Up to now, few people have dared to take his idea."

Speaking of this, Luo Yingjie suddenly asked: "Leader, don't you want to recruit them?"

"Lao Luo, I won't hide it from you. Hearing what you said, I think this iron rooster is not bad, and he may be included... By the way, what do you think?"

"Captain, this is absolutely unacceptable."

"why?"

"This iron rooster is a dead-brained, very stubborn, and he has no big ambitions, and he only wants to be his king of the mountain. Besides, he is kind to the people around him, nothing more than rabbits don't eat grass by the side of the nest, and use the people around him to give him money." It’s just a secret sentinel. Moreover, he is only doing this to the people in the territory. For other places, he is robbing houses and doing all kinds of evil...Leader, let me tell you the truth, at the beginning, I also wanted to drag him and his people to our revolution He came to the team and cooperated with him once. At that time, we agreed to follow the rules of our guerrilla team. Moreover, in order to improve his enthusiasm, I also specifically said that only things from the town hall can be robbed. It belongs to him. But this guy came here indiscriminately as soon as he left the territory. Moreover, when we conquered a town, he not only forgot the original agreement all at once, but also took the lead in robbing things and robbing people. .At that time, I was so angry that I almost turned against him. I brought my comrades to confront them, and then forced him to leave... Sigh~! It can only be said that the mud cannot support the wall."

Zhang Qingshan frowned, and he had a deeper understanding of the multi-faceted nature of bandits, or in other words, the pursuit of profit.

But after Peng Peng sighed, he said again: "Commander, in fact, these are the inevitability of bandits. Those with a bit of foresight, such as Iron Rooster, can take good care of the people in their own territory, but for those outside the territory, how can they be taken care of?" They just showed their fangs. They really did murder and arson. To be honest, although I associate with them, I still use them to deal with the reactionaries and preserve the strength of the revolutionary team. Otherwise, I would have led troops to deal with them. Oh, what, dare to call me a brother and brother. I really think that I am a fucking bandit, shit, I am a member of the Communist Party, and I am doing revolution, not bullying the people..."

He didn't know how angry Luo Yingjie had been, but as he talked, the more he talked, the more angry he became, and he started cursing directly.

"Okay, okay, Lao Luo, it's all over, and you don't need to be so angry."

"Captain, it's because of the past, so I endured so much anger in my heart, so I figured out, otherwise, I will be suffocated. You don't know, these years, although our guerrillas have Thanks to their help, but also received their white eyes and sarcasm..."

Luo Yingjie immediately uttered the anger he had suffered all these years...

Zhang Qingshan listened with a smile all the time, occasionally interjecting a few words, but in his heart he analyzed what was useful to him from his complaints.

In this way, one complaint, one cooperation, time passed quickly.

When they came to a small stream, everyone rested for a while, and Luo Yingjie finally stopped complaining, because he waited for the people behind to come over, and ordered two guerrillas to go to Qinglong Mountain first, and informed Li Hua that the assault team would arrive in about an hour , Let him quickly prepare food and drink for everyone.

"Lao Luo, the situation in Sanqiao County is so complicated, it's really hard for you to stick to it for so many years."

Zhang Qingshan and Luo Yingjie stood by the stream, washing their faces with handkerchiefs, and chatting with each other while laughing.

"It's nothing. It's nothing to suffer from the revolution with your head tied to your trouser belt."

"By the way, Lao Luo, there are so many bandits, is there no one you can take a fancy to? Or, is it all this selfishness, so there is no one worth pulling into our revolutionary team?"

"It was impossible before, but now that our assault group is not here, it is possible."

"What's the matter? Tell me."

"Li Jing, my sworn brother is also Comrade Li Hua's cousin..."

Then, Luo Yingjie began to talk about the situation of this mountain king named Li Jing...

Seeing Luo Yingjie's heartfelt joy and praise whenever he mentioned this Li Jing, Zhang Qingshan inevitably became very interested in this Li Jing.
