When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 229 Taniguchi Iron Fist
"Snowing!"

Xinqu, who was warming himself by the fire at night, suddenly heard a voice outside and hurried out: "Tsk, tsk, hurry up and sweep out the snow nearby. Finish your work early and close the village to rest."

The tribesmen took action quickly.

Xinqu looked to the northwest and smiled evilly.

Meng Kuan was wrapped in fur and wanted to sleep with Xin Qu so that it would be warm at night.

It turned out that he was smiling evilly at the door: "Don't laugh, maybe the people in the northwest also live in the village."

"That would be the best, but unfortunately, there is no such thing. Look, in the northwest sky, the smoke is not scattered even after it is blown, which shows how much wet firewood they have planted. There is a stockade, and the fuel will definitely not be released. It's in the snow. Only wood that doesn't burn thoroughly can emit such huge smoke and billow!"

Xinqu thought for a moment and called Shu Heijian: "You take turns leading people to guard the stockade to guard against being attacked. Then privately stare at the smoke in the northwest. If it goes out, be alert to someone touching it directly from the northwest mountain. come over."

"Yes." Shu Heijian looked serious.

"Then those who should rest should rest. If the snow stops tomorrow, continue working." Xin Qu finished the order and went back to sleep with Meng Kuan in his arms.

Fortunately, in this era, it was not so taboo for men and women to enter the camp to fight, otherwise he would have to imitate Cao Gong and cut off his hair instead of taking his head.

We stayed like this all night, and the snow stopped early the next morning.

Those who came off the shift began to eat, rest and clear the snow.

Xin Qu slept until the sun was shining three poles, then he pulled out of Meng Kuang's long legs, held his rice bowl, and continued to observe on the top of the mountain.

At this point, they should be either cooking or heating.

Snow will melt under the sun, and it will absorb heat when it melts. It is even colder in the mountains, so the fire needs to be increased.

Finally, I took a closer look at the smoke.

"Haha, it's down to about ten, which means that at least seven or eight people froze to death in one night. The opponent is unprofessional! He doesn't know how to ambush! How could he wait so stupidly?"

Xinqu laughed and finished the hot minced meat in the bowl and went down the mountain.

Have someone build a lookout behind here.

Then I was busy until the third day before I finished and set off.

Before dusk, the carriage arrived at Gukou Village (today's Badaling City God Temple).

A man wearing the same attire as Xin Qu jumped off the chariot and entered Gukou Village, and the White Tiger Camp's banner was hung up.

Seeing the big banner hanging up, the mice in the shadows started to move.

Get the mountain.

It was still the same leeward slope, where everyone was warming themselves by the fire, silent and dazed.

They are all slaves and soldiers of Zibu.

They all got Zibu's promise.

As long as the camp with the Xin clan leader is burned down, the slaves can turn over and the soldiers can gain population and become the leader of the small clan.

Driven by a price no one can resist.

So, they stayed here for seven full days!
More than a dozen people froze to death!

But I persevered!

Countless anger accumulated!As a result, Xin Qu, the clan leader of the Xin clan, slowly came over!
"Damn it!!! Finally heard the news about this bastard's arrival!"

"Just use the charcoal bought by Mr. Xin! Send him to death!"

Zi Da Lian was the first to roar angrily, awakening everyone's lifeless consciousness.

Their eyes met and each of them became excited.

It had been seven days since he received the mission and then he came to set the fire, and he was running out of food.

Originally, he thought that Xinqu and others would hurry and stop at the mouth of the valley, and then set off again the next day.

After all, he had calculated the distance from Juyongguan Village where the Xin family lived to the entrance of the valley. Calculating the current wind and snow siltation, it would take almost a day to walk!
As a result, Xin Qu is a bastard!He didn't rush and passed immediately!

Instead, military stations and beacon towers were continuously extended at the entrance of the valley, and a Shuiguan Village and a Gukou Village were built.

A distance of eleven kilometers, a day’s journey!

He was stunned to spend three more days, waiting until the construction of Taniguchi Village was completed, before moving the large troops from Shuiguan Village.

How much energy did he spend waiting for today?

"Don't burn this bastard to death! I don't have the surname Zi!" Zi Dalian called everyone together, ordered to increase the number of fires, cooked the last bit of food, and then prepared to go south.

Just to the east of the gentle slope of Deshan, on a loess beam, Xin Qu, wearing leather armor, stretched out his hand to cover his eyebrows to block the afterglow of the sun before it set, and saw the flames in the dark.

"Clan leader... there is really an ambush. What should we do?"

Xinluo rubbed his hands, eager to try.

"Go two miles further north, and then go up the ridge over there. If the other party wants to set us on fire from behind, then give him an urn to catch turtles from behind. I really want to know whose handiwork this is, and how clever it is. rough."

Xinqu curled his lips, led the people to the ridgeline quickly, and walked west along the ridge.

Even when he finally lit up the torch, no one saw them.

"Clan leader, we found their camp!"

Someone at the front of Xinluo's 100-person team said in surprise: "We also caught a guy with frostbite and are interrogating him."

"Go over there." With an order, they went up to the open slope and saw a dirty camp and nearly twenty corpses.

"Clan leader, I asked, it was the Ran clan's people who took action."

"Ranshi...oh, who did I think it was? It turns out to be Zibu." Xinqu laughed, "It seems that everyone is making progress, but they are not progressing fast enough."

"That's right, the clan leader is invincible!" Xin Luo flattered him.

Xin Qu also accepted it and asked about the final number of people. Only 80 people were left. They took the charcoal bought from Youxin family and prepared to set fire to the village when the morning star appeared.

After all, the morning star appears roughly at five in the morning.

Before, it was around three or four o'clock. At this time, whether you stayed up late or kept vigil, you would be very sleepy.

Setting fire at this time is very easy as long as you can touch the location.

Xin Qu shook his head slightly and looked around, but found no grass clippings or oil cans.

Use charcoal to set fire... Didn't you prepare other hay or grease as a combustion accelerant?
rough!Too rough!
If you can get it started quickly, I think you are awesome!
"Clean it up and repair it on the spot. It's still too late to start going down the mountain in the middle of the night."

Xin Qu didn't panic, and everyone quickly started busy.

Xin Qu even had time to ask people to help bury these frozen people in the ground.Then rest.

When the time came, Xinqu and the others began to go down the mountain.

Arriving at the destination slowly.

"Chief, they are out of the forest." Xin Luo came over and pointed at the entrance of the forest. Amidst the chirping of birds, a group of figures flashed out.

"Come up and help them start the fire."

Xin Qu hooked up his crossbow and mounted the rocket. When they were almost busy, he led the people closer.

At this time, the morning star began to appear in the southeast sky, and Xin Qu blew the fire seal.

At the same time, Zi Da face held two flints and squatted on the ground. His face was filled with excitement and ferociousness. He kept rubbing the flints. After a lot of effort and a lot of fur changes, he ignited the grass balls and then put the grass balls on fire. Place the dough under the charcoal and keep blowing on it to light the fire.

"Okay. I overestimated them."

100 meters away, Xinqu watched the group of people lying on the ground, sticking out their buttocks and blowing fire, feeling that his IQ was insulted.

Throw the rocket on the ground, then take out the dysprosium arrow and put it on the crossbow.

Then he pulled the trigger toward the sky.

"Hey! Watch me burn you to death!" The flame was lit, and the excited Zi laughed.

"Wow—"

The sound of birdsong seemed to come from his mouth, which made him even more proud: "Look! Even the sacred bird is standing here..."

boom!
Before Zi Dalian finished speaking, a woman suddenly knocked open the camp door, holding a shield in her hand and roaring: "Kill!"

It was Badger Si.

"No! Fight back!" Zi Da's face turned pale with fright, and he led his men into a fight with Badger Si who had knocked open the village door.

"Form up! Form a formation!" Zi Da Lian turned around and shouted while forcing Badger Si back.

Zibu's group of men reacted quickly. They quickly formed a formation and began to fight with the soldiers who had the Xin clan standing out.

"It's now! Do it!"

Xin Qu gave an order, and the crossbowmen launched an attack at the same time.

Zibu, who was forming a formation, was attacked from behind.

"Surrender without killing!"

Xinqu asked someone to shout, and then many flags appeared from the forest. It was not completely bright yet, so it was difficult to see clearly from a distance.

All they could see was a lot of flags.

A lot of people surrounded them!
They are done!

"Can't surrender!"

"The Xin family will not kill the captives who surrender!" Xin Qu and his men continued to shout, "You have no way to escape!"

Zi Da Lian turned around to catch the escaping soldier, but received a solid blow from an iron fist on his face: "It's your fucking father! Why do you have no ability to imitate others and plan an ambush? If Zi Da Lian is captured, we surrender. !surrender!"

"Boring." In addition to seeing the "Tanikou Village Iron Fist" incident, Xin Qu arrived later. The fire had been put out and more than eighty enemies had all surrendered.

Xin's only casualty was a man who ran too fast when putting out the flames and failed to see whether it was bluestone or charcoal, so he kicked himself into the flames and became a casualty.

"Catch him and starve them for a day before interrogating him."

After Xin Qu gave the order, he looked at the sky and entered the camp. As soon as he arrived at his tent, Meng Kuan leaned on the door frame supporting the tent, waiting for him to come back.

Not to mention, it feels good to have someone waiting to go home.

"Thank you for your hard work." After taking off her armor, Meng Kuan came up again, "You expected everything, and not a single person died. You are really good at fighting!"

"Just keep talking, don't keep pulling on my belt." Xinqu looked at this woman helplessly. Why did he feel that she had been tormenting him so much since he came out of the West?
"With children as a bargaining chip, Hijikata will definitely be more willing to cooperate between the two families. So, just work harder!"

"..." Xin Qu raised his eyebrows, "It seems reasonable. But I'm tired."

"It's okay, just lie down."

Turn around and hook the curtain, seal the big tent, and refuse outsiders.

"Is it true that if you guard the clan leader's tent every day, you won't cause problems?"

Xinluo passed by and heard the sound from a distance. Then he saw Qingyan relaxing by the fire and came over to ask.

"Huh? Oh, you're talking about this. I already have women, so I can just go to them when I feel bad."

"They...them???" Xin Luo was stunned for a moment, then looked at the others.

The other Xinqu guards also nodded: "My waist almost broke before I came out, but now I don't have such thoughts."

"That's right, neither did I."

"There are only two women around the patriarch, which are few compared to us."

One curled his lips and said: "In short, we have long been used to it."

"Yeah." Qing Yan finally concluded, then continued to warm the fire and wait for the meal.

"Okay." Xin Luo shrugged, and saw another man coming in grabbing a few old men, "Where's the clan leader? We caught a few people who escaped from the Juyongguan Village of the Chang Xin clan."

When Qingyan heard this, he took a look at these fugitives from the Changxin clan. They were all old people, with snowy features on their faces, and said, "There's no need to go to the clan leader, just let them go. The clan leader has told me that these old people care about peace between the two clans." Yes, get them some dry food, add some animal skins to wrap themselves in, and let them go back."

"okay."

"Thank you! Thank you, patriarch! Such a favor!" These old men looked at the food and animal skins and left quickly.

"We must go back quickly! Make it known to the public that Shaoshan is the fugitive sacrifice of King Shang! We cannot let the clansmen die with him!"

"Yes! Absolutely not!"

These old men made up their minds, gritted their teeth and braved the wind and snow, and hurried back to the Changxin clan.

And Xin Qu got up at noon to eat. After hearing Qing Yan's report, he smiled slightly: "It's halfway through the chess game, waiting for you to make a move!"

　I asked for leave on September 9. Things have changed and I have a headache.
