Competing

Chapter 27 Windfall
The remaining raindrops on the leaves were dripping, and the rainy season that lasted for more than a month finally passed.

After the rain, the sky is sunny, and the sunset glow in the sky is brilliant, just like the sunset is infinitely good.Under the afterglow, Yin Xu and Ying Bu stood at the entrance of the cave, looking into the distance.

"The rain has stopped!"

"Yes! If we don't stop, we will drink the northwest wind."

"Speaking of which, I really feel a little guilty for my brother. If it weren't for the hundreds of us, Brother Yin would be so hard-pressed."

"Brother Ying, what are you talking about? Why are you and my brother being polite? If we run out of food, we just have to find a way."

Yin Xu's attitude made Ying Bo very gratified. Yin Xu did not protest against him as expected when he killed dozens of Bahu's subordinates that day.On the contrary, it is better to pay more and more respect to himself. This result made him puzzled for a while, and he was always on guard.

After many days of contact, Yingbo felt that Yin Xu was not pretending, but respected from the heart.After a few days, they became close brothers in two days, discussing the art of war, martial arts and swordsmanship in their free time.

Yingbo is very interested in Yin Xu's fighting skills, and learns from him all day long. Of course, in return, he will teach him excellent sword skills.Who is Ying Buna?The first-class famous general of Chu and Han, the number one warrior under Xiang Yu's command, is his swordsmanship and martial arts poor?Therefore, Yin Xu was very excited and benefited a lot.

Yingbo is one of the best generals in the Chu and Han Dynasties, such heroes must be friends.But Yingbu is powerful, and one can imagine his bravery and power. Yin Xu doesn't want to be at a disadvantage in future interactions, so killing people with a strong wrist is also a deterrent.Of course, if you want to meet the admiration and favor of heroes, you must show enough strength.

After a few days of contact, both of them found a lot of advantages and charms in each other, and admired each other from the bottom of their hearts.The two have the same temper, and the brotherhood is getting stronger day by day, and some other utilitarian thoughts are temporarily put aside.

However, due to the doubled number of people, the originally prepared food was consumed very quickly, and it was already a bit stretched.

Ying Bu asked, "Does Brother Yin have a plan for food?"

"Brother Ying is always so polite, just ask me to come here!" Yin Xu sighed in his heart: it is finally time for this table word to be useful, and it is also worthy of Donglai.With an inconvenient expression on his face, he said: "The population in the Jiangdong area is sparse, and the people have been exploited year after year. Even with money, they can't buy food. So ah! This matter has to fall on Qin Jun, who let them It's our transportation captain!"

"Captain of the transportation team?" Ying Bu laughed and said, "This word is fresh, Brother Donglai is really full of witty words!" At the same time, he also admired Yin Xu's style of not disturbing the people and not looting.

"Where?" Yin Xu smiled awkwardly, and said: "The sky is clear, and it will be a matter of time before the Qin army enters the mountain. It's not safe here anymore. It's time to go out for a walk." "

"Where are you going? To the north is Zhou Kang's [-] troops, and to the south there are said to be thousands more, but it seems that they are your defeated generals!" Yingbo analyzed, not forgetting to tease him.

Yin Xu said: "Yes! An Tong was defeated before, but now that he has Brother Ying and these hundreds of brothers, he is even more fearless. Of course, the matter of food naturally fell on him. "

……

In the north of Fanyi County, a group of soldiers escorted dozens of grain trucks in a hurry.When Antong's army was attacking, Zhao Gao once ordered Fanyi to provide food and grass.This time Zhou Kang's army came, there were a lot of people, and the need was naturally great. The small county of Fanyi could not support it, so they were all transported from Kuaiji.However, more than 4000 troops of Antong are still stationed nearby, and the food and grass are still supplied by Panyi.

Yin Xu's previous fire burned a lot of his stored grain, and although a batch was brought in later, due to the continuous heavy rain for more than a month, the grain and grass in Antong Camp were almost exhausted.Therefore, as soon as the sky cleared, An Tong sent someone to Fanyi to urge him. Wu Rui had already handed over the matter to Chen Kui, the county captain, and didn't ask much.

Chen Kui was stationed by the imperial court, so he was very attentive and busy. It is not known whether there are other factors.After the rain, the weather cleared up and the road was no longer muddy, so they sent people to transport more than a dozen carts of grain and rushed to An Tong's camp.

"Go, hurry!" A middle-aged man kept urging, walking back and forth.This person is a meritorious Cao in Fanyi County, surnamed Zhang, and he is Chen Kui's confidant.

Suddenly the leading cart stopped, and Zhang Gongcao hurriedly stepped forward to scold: "What's going on? Why did it stop?"

Immediately someone from the front came to report: "Report to Zhang Gongcao, a rock collapsed in front blocked the way, presumably it was caused by the heavy rain a few days ago."

"Oh?" Zhang Gongcao frowned, remembering that before leaving, Captain Chen had repeatedly told him that there was one very important thing besides food, and he dared not delay it.Biansheng encountered such a disappointing thing, but he had no choice but to say: "Hurry up and send someone to clean it up, so that the road can be cleared as much as possible!"

"promise!"

Nearly a hundred soldiers escorted hurried forward to move rocks and earth, Zhang Gongcao paced back and forth, a little anxious.He didn't notice that a group of people approached quietly under the cover of the bushes, and then rows of crossbow arrows stretched out from behind the bushes.

A group of grain guards were happily working part-time as porters, when suddenly rows of crossbow arrows flew out from behind.Although the bamboo and wooden crossbow arrows had limited damage, they caused the grain guards to panic.Zhang Gongcao turned pale with fright, before he realized what was going on, a group of people rushed forward with swords in hand, the leaders were Yin Xu and Ying Bu.

Before Zhou Kang's army searched and suppressed them, they left the hiding place one step ahead, relying on their familiarity with the terrain, they walked around the mountains and forests and returned to Rongshuling area again.Although they avoided the Qin army along the way, it was only wet and muddy between the mountains and forests after the rain, and they did not suffer along the way.

However, when Pu Jun inquired about the news that Panyi was about to transport grain to An Tong, everyone laughed heartily, no matter how much suffering they suffered, it seemed insignificant.Early in the morning, the grain truck had been under surveillance since it left Fanyi City. Yin Xu and others set up obstacles on the road and prepared for an ambush.

At this time, all the bandits rushed forward, and the food security guards were still in chaos. Many people hadn't realized what happened, let alone organized an effective resistance.This situation is really like a wolf into a flock of sheep, and under the one-sided situation, all the grain soldiers were beheaded and killed.

The entire battle took less than a stick of incense. Yin Xu and Ying Bu looked at each other, and the first cooperation was very tacit.Zhou Dalai reported: "Young master, everything has been resolved. We will use these grains for several months!"

Yin Xu rolled his eyes at him, and said with a smile: "It's true, but can we take them all away? Tell the brothers, everyone recites as many as possible. The rest is burned, and it will not be cheap if we can't take it away."

Although Zhou Da was reluctant, he could only follow Yin Xu's instructions, and immediately arranged for people to pack the food, and ordered people to prepare dry firewood and kindling.At this moment, Pu Jun hurried over again, and said with a smile: "My lord, just now I saw this person sneaking and trying to escape, like an official, I caught him back and handed him over to you!"

Before Yin Xu could speak, the bandits around him were already very happy. They hated the officers and soldiers deeply, and it was obvious what they wanted to do.

Yin Xu saw that this person was a short man in his thirties, so he wondered if it was because he was afraid of appearing a little wretched.He asked with a casual smile, "What's the name of this lord?"

The dwarf managed to force a smile, and said sarcastically, "Cao Zhangbo, the hero of Panyi, may I ask what the hero's name is?"

"Oh, next time Yin Xu's name comes from the east, does Zhang Gongcao know?" Yin Xu asked with a smile, purely for fun.

"Yin Xu?" Zhang Gongcao's heart skipped a beat. From the very beginning, he saw that the robbers were robbers, and he was very surprised.The imperial court's tens of thousands of troops encircled and suppressed the bandits, how could they be so arrogant?At this time, I heard that the young man in front of me was actually Yin Xu, the bandit leader who made An Xiaowei hate him.Thinking of what Xiaowei Chen had told him, his heart felt cold, and he couldn't help but subconsciously lowered his head and glanced into his arms.

Seeing that his expression was different, Yin Xu paid a little more attention, and all the subtle movements fell into his eyes, especially that glance.Yin Xu smiled lightly and winked, Pu Jun went up and found a silk book from Zhang Gongcao's arms.Zhang Gongcao's face turned pale immediately, further confirming the guess, Yin Xu took it and handed it directly to Gao Yi.

After Gao Yi read it, he said solemnly: "Young Master, this is a letter written by Fanyi County Captain Chen Kui to An Tong, accusing the county magistrate Wu Rui of colluding with the bandits and letting you go across the border privately. It also revealed that we went north by boat to rob the village .”

"Oh?"

"Yes," Gao Yi said, "Chen Kui also said that Wu Chen, Wu Rui's son, often made big treasonous remarks, and also said that Wu Rui had a heart of disobedience."

Yin Xu understood now that when Fan Qing said that there was a way for him to pass through Panyi safely, Wu Rui did indeed agree.But how could Fan Qing convince Wu Rui?However, the identity of the woman in purple is mysterious and noble, and she has her own extraordinary features.Besides, what is the use of this news?Yin Xu paced back and forth, meditating.

Seeing this, Yingbu asked, "Come from the east, but what kind of tricks did you come up with?"

"Yingbu, Wu Rui!"

The two names flashed in his mind, and Yin Xu remembered the history books he had read in his previous life. It seemed... It was just a few days later, so he was a little uncertain.Also, even though it's already July, I don't know... Yin Xu subconsciously glanced to the north, hesitated for a moment, turned his heart, and said to himself: Let's try it!
Looking at Yingbo's questioning eyes, Yin Xu smiled lightly and said, "It's not a clever plan, but I do have some ideas that I need to discuss with my elder brother."

At this moment, Zhou Da held up a torch and was about to light the fire and burn food.Seeing this, Yin Xu hurriedly shouted: "Zhou Da, stop, stop burning!"

"Eh? Why didn't it burn again?" Zhou Da turned around and asked blankly.

Yin Xu took the silk book from Gao Yi's hand, held it in his hand, and said with a smile: "Because of this, it's an unexpected harvest!"
