Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 274
"Old Zhang, why do you think Qi Shaobao has such a brain? Huh? This pair of mandarin ducks looks like a real thing! Why can't we figure it out? Our boys have been practicing for more than ten days. It’s much stronger than before! Tsk tsk! If you practice like this for half a year, we won’t be afraid of Jiannu anymore! By the way, what did you just say?”

Liu Guoneng, who was concentrating on watching the soldiers on the distant school field practicing mandarin duck formation, was amazed and looked at Zhang Wenyao.

"Eh, old Liu, why don't you pretend to be stupid? This time's errand looks like a bad luck to us, er, if you have any funeral affairs, let's explain it quickly; the loss is that we have saved so many years. With a lot of silver taels, even if we are gone this time, future generations can live a good life. But I really don’t want to go to die for nothing! If I follow Sun Du to go out to fight Jian slaves, I still have a little confidence in my heart, but this court Suddenly I took them out and prepared to throw them to Liaodong. I felt a chill in my heart! Although we said that we turned against the court back then, wasn’t that just a moment of confusion? Why did the court hold grudges like this? Isn’t this a settlement after autumn? "

Zhang Wenyao gave Liu Guoneng a dissatisfied look, with a hint of anger and helplessness in his tone.

"Old Zhang, we are considered to be from the township party, and our backgrounds are not much different. Now we have the same official position, so it's strange. How did you get kicked by a donkey? When you were a rebel, you were still a character, just this brain Why did you become the big boss? It wasn't that I looked down on you, but because of this stupid brain like a lump of wood, I couldn't even be a sentinel under my hands!"

Liu Guoneng squinted at Zhang Wenyao, and mocked mercilessly.

"Crossing the sky, you are a donkey! Why did I let the donkey kick it? You are a big leader because of your combat skills, plus your loyalty! How come you have a lump in your mouth! Ye, explain to me clearly! Otherwise, I will knock you down with one punch! This trip to Liaodong is obviously an errand to send you to death! There must be traitors around the emperor who want to harm us! I just feel that we have been traitors, and now we are holding hands You are a big soldier, maybe one day they will turn against you again! This is what counts against us! I don’t believe you can say other things!”

Zhang Wenyao jumped up from the stool, pointed at Liu Guoneng with a red face and cursed.

"Yo yo yo yo, you're impatient! Zhang Miaoshou, oh Zhang Miaoshou, it's just because of his skill that he doesn't look down on this one or that one. This man has brute force, so he just puts his mind on it." Step aside! No wonder those literati look down on us vulgar people! Let me tell you, there is a saying that you must have never heard: die and live! Do you understand what this means? Yes, yes, we were The dispatch to Liaodong must have been caused by someone in the imperial court. The emperor mistook the slander and issued the order. At first glance, he really wanted to use the sharp knife of Jiannu to kill us gang of rebels. But if we use our brains a little bit to think If you think about it, you will know that this is a big fortune! This is not ten deaths but no life, this is simply the golden rice bowl that God bestows on our children and grandchildren! Lao Zhang, we will make a lot of money this time! If it happens, Guaranteed to be a general soldier! Wahahaha!"

Liu Guoneng, who was sitting on the chair, couldn't help laughing triumphantly when he talked about his joy.

"Old Liu, what do you mean just now? Can we really come back from Liaodong alive? Tell me quickly! How can we make meritorious service? The commander-in-chief doesn't dare to think about it, but the deputy commander-in-chief is very satisfied!"

Zhang Wenyao hurriedly asked.

"Hey, who scolded Donkey Ball just now? Zhang Miaoshou, do you admit that your head is a lump of wood and soil? If you don't admit it, then just talk nonsense! There is still something to do, so leave! "

"Don't go, don't go! Okay, okay, admit that the melon seeds in your head are not spiritual, right? Lao Liu, I have heard of your name in northern Shaanxi back then. You are famous for breaking the sky, and you are very prestigious! I admire you so much! Good old Liu, just tell me, is there any truth in this? Old Zhang will feel itchy in his heart!"

Zhang Wenyao rushed forward, grabbed Liu Guoneng who stood up and was about to leave, forced him to sit on the chair, and complimented him flatteringly with a smiling face.

"That's about the same, Zhang Miaoshou, who is so proud and arrogant, knows that he is too small? Well, for the sake of knowing and being sensible, I will tell you today. I am a little thirsty, alas, this body is very heavy. , I don’t want to move!”

Zhang Wenyao resisted the idea of ​​smashing Liu Guoneng's nose flat with his fist, leaned over and lifted the pottery jug beside it, and filled Liu Guoneng's big bowl with water. Voice.

"Well, Lao Zhang, you can't say that you are stupid. You just know that Jiannu can fight, but if we cross the sea and go to Liaodong, how many Jiannu do you think we can see?"

"Why don't you see a few? I've asked the officials of the Ministry of War. That Hetuala has the tomb of Jiannu's ancestors, and there are usually thousands of Jiannu elite guarding it. They are better than the soldiers under Gao Yingxiang's back then." Not bad, to be honest, even if we have twice as many people as Jiannu, we may not be able to fight!"

Although Zhang Wenyao's soldiers were quite capable, many of them were from peasant households. During the rebellion against him, they had little time to practice. It was only a few years after he was demoted that he began to practice seriously, and his combat power has greatly improved.But their own family knows their own affairs, and these soldiers still cannot be compared with the powerful Jiannu.

"Old Zhang, think about it, the Ming Dynasty will mobilize more than [-] troops to go out to fight Jiannu, do you think Jiannu dare to fight more with less? Those slave chieftains will definitely gather all their troops to fight against our Daming! At that time, how many thousand people can stay in Jiannu's lair? I estimate that there are at most a thousand people left behind. If we can't beat more than [-] people, we can't beat these thousand people? I thought about it, let's cross the sea to When Hetuala is marching, Jiannu must not be aware of it along the way, and try to give him a surprise attack after reaching Hetuala. If he is mentally or unintentionally, and the number of people is several times that of him, if we can't beat him, then we are too useless! "

"It's as simple as that? If the number of slaves to guard the city doesn't decrease, how can it be good?"

Zhang Wenyao asked suspiciously.

"Then we can only blame our bad luck. We can only fight against them, slaughter one and earn another, and wipe our necks if we are defeated and cannot escape. Don't fall into Jiannu's hands!"

"That's natural. I'm a man anyway, why can't I be a slave to others! However, Lao Liu, even if we take over the slave's lair and dig up the ancestral grave of the wild boar's family, we can still get out of the body in the end, but we can think about it." Look, it’s not much credit, is it? With this, you can become the chief soldier? It looks terrible! If we fight against the Jiannu army, and we win in the end, maybe we can still get a chief soldier, just the credit of digging the grave Ah, it's choking! It's really choking!"

Zhang Wenyao couldn't help shaking his head after thinking about it.

Although the work of digging Jiannu's ancestral grave is not small, it is still not enough compared to fighting with Jiannu in front of the battle.

"Who said you can earn the chief soldier with this? Do you think we have to rush to the beach and take a boat back after digging the grave?"

Liu Guoneng looked at Zhang Wenyao's ugly face and replied angrily.

"Didn't we just go for this immoral thing this time? Why don't we run away and stay to die after finishing our work? We are committing crimes. Think about it, Lao Liu. If someone dares to dig our ancestral grave, no matter what Whoever it is, we have to fight him! If we don't hurry up, Jian Nu will chase us even if he dies!"

"Not only don't run away, we have to go west! Go to Shengjing! Give him the new nest of building slaves! How likely is this, Zhang Miaoshou, do you think it's worth the price of a general soldier?"

Liu Guoneng stared into Zhang Wenyao's eyes, slowed down his speech, and expressed his final plan with a serious face.
