Chapter 264: The Straw Boat Borrowed Arrows

In winter, it gets dark early, and the sun just sets. Today is the first day of the new year, and the moon routinely comes every month to rest. The whole Dongting Lake is like falling into a black hole, and it is not too much to say that you can't see your fingers.

There was no sound on the surface of the water except the sound of the lake rising and falling. In the distance, loud noises and screams of women were heard from time to time in the water village, and the pirates did not allow women to board the ship. However, after arriving in the Yangtze River, it seems that something has changed. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Fujiwara Tadaichi allowed the soldiers to bring some of the plundered women on board.

These women are all from Jiangzhou, and they were plundered when Jiangzhou City was broken. Now that they have all become camp prostitutes, Fujiwara will certainly reward the meritorious soldiers for their great victory today. Woman, it becomes a good prize.

"Fuck! In such a cold weather, let us come out to patrol. I'm freezing to death, the ghost weather in Tang is harder than in Hokkaido. Tomozaburo Otsuka complained as he wrapped his clothes tightly.

"Hey......! Whoever let us die badly, let alone come and hide in the cabin. What can this hellish place have? Koji Ohno looked at the inky black Dongting Lake and pulled Tozaburo Kotsuka into the cabin. It's so dark that even if someone comes, you can't see it. I can tell if someone is coming, and I can only listen by ear. Rather than freezing here, it's better to be warmer in the cabin.

The two of them entered the cabin, and Koji Ohno magically brought out a jar of wine from the cabin. Under the reflection of the oil lamp, the four big characters of Yunjia steamed wine are clearly distinguishable.

"Yo ......! This is a good thing from the Tang Kingdom, where did you get it? Kozuka's eyes immediately straightened. This kind of good wine, Zhang 13 gave Fujiwara Tadaichi no more than 20 altars. I don't know how Koji Ohno got it!

"The leader stole it from the ship, don't make a noise. Tonight, our brothers will drink him up. As he spoke, Koji Ohno took out two salted fish from the cabin, and there was actually a chicken. Kotsuka Chizaburo's eyes lit up at once, and the salted fish was okay to say. But fat chickens are rare, and only those at the level of the leader can eat them on weekdays. They are little gangsters, and they can't even eat a chicken bone.

Tomozaburo Ozuka likes to drink the most, and now that the wine is current, how can he still bear it. I slapped the mud open and took a deep breath of wine. After pouring a bowl, he tilted his head and poured it down. Koji Ohno looked at it with a smile and pushed the fat forward.

"Yo Xi!" The Japanese people don't have the habit of pouring themselves wine, but Tomozaburo Ozuka doesn't care now. The wine was so strong that it looked like a flame in the mouth. A bowl of wine goes down to the stomach, as if the whole body is burning. Rosacea immediately turned red, and his head was a little dizzy. The wine of this Tang Kingdom is indeed very strong, looking at the fat chicken in front of him. Tomozaburo Otsuka felt that he should eat fast meat to suppress the smell of alcohol.

The chicken leg has just been torn off, and there is a pain under the ribs. Koji Ohno's face in front of him suddenly became hideous.

Hiroshi Ohno's second-hand rib plug, one twist and one give! Tomozaburo Otsuka fell to the ground and began to convulse, and pierced up the third rib to the place where the heart was. Koji Ohno knows it very well in his heart! Kozuka Tomozaburo's kung fu is not bad, if he didn't get drunk with alcohol, it would definitely not be possible to succeed so smoothly. Afraid that Tomozaburo Ozuka would not die, Koji Ohno stabbed him a few more times with a rib insert. It wasn't until Tomosaburo Kozuka didn't move that he stopped!

Open the cabin and pull the body of Tomozaburo Otsuka outside. Thrown into the water with a "poof"! Koji Ohno glanced at the stars in the sky and paddled hard. The lit water village is getting farther and farther away from him.

"Come out!" Koji Ohno said a word into the cabin, and what he said was actually Tang dialect. The sound of hee hee suo was remembered in the cabin, and a young girl emerged from under a pile of fishing nets.

"Get dressed and just paddle to the shore. We're free! ”

The next morning, Tadaichi Fujiwara noticed that a boat was missing. Although it was a small fishing boat that was stolen, and there were only two patrolmen on it, it was also a big accident. Someone was sent out to look for it, but the ship did not find it but found a body. This corpse is none other than one of the people in charge of patrolling the ship, Tomozaburo Otsuka.

"Baga! It must be a good thing done by the Tang people! Fujiwara Tadaichi was immediately furious, believing that this was the Tang people's revenge for yesterday's defeat in the Great War. Ming Dao and Ming Gun are not opponents, so they came in the middle of the night to hack their men. Poor Koji Ohno must have been captured by the bandits. I hope he doesn't die too miserably!

The Tang water bandits attacked themselves and killed their own people. This was intolerable, and Fujiwara Tadaichi decided to go to Zhang Shisan. He wants to make those Tang water bandits pay the price!

When Fujiwara Tadaichi went to look for Zhang Shisan, Koji Ohno, who was dressed in Tang clothes, was jumping off the boat. Pulled out a heavy package from the cabin and dragged the girl onto the official road.

"Xiaochan! Let's get to Yuezhou City and hire a carriage, and it won't take long to get back to Shandong. My hometown is at the foot of Jimo Lao Mountain, and if it wasn't for the fact that I was robbed by the Japanese when I was 12 years old, I would still live there. Koji Ohno seemed to be very excited, pulling the girl and talking non-stop.

Xiaochan seemed timid, but being able to leave the water village of the Japanese people also made him very happy. Her home is in Jiangzhou, and almost all of her family members have been killed by the Japanese people. If it weren't for Koji Ohno, maybe he would be a camp prostitute in the Wa Kingdom Water Village in his life. In the end, he died silently in a corner!

"Don't talk about it, it's not safe yet. If the Japanese people chase after us, we will all die. Xiaochan said with some concern.

"Why don't you say it, I've been speaking the Chinese language for ten years. I've almost forgotten that I'm a Tang man, don't worry. Fujiwara Tadaichi found that a boat was missing, and he would definitely go to settle accounts with the water bandits in Dongting Lake. I would never have imagined that I was running away for you. I got some gold and silver in Jiangzhou, and when we got to Laoshan, we bought some land and hired a few tenants to live this life well. Koji Ohno said excitedly.

I haven't been able to speak Tang Mandarin like this for a long time, and I can't stop the car when I say it.

There were only two of them on the road, a young man with a package on his back, and a timid girl. No one could have guessed that the young man in his twenties in front of him was still a pirate of the Japanese Kingdom yesterday.

Yun Hao was having breakfast, and the recent peace in Yuezhou City was outrageous. Not even a single head brawl happened! The Tang prince is coming, which brings great pressure to Zhang Baoxiang. A vigorous strike hard was in full swing, and under the policy of severity and strictness, a large number of city fox society rats fell to the ground.

Such a sporty rectification place, Yun Hao seems to be familiar with it. There are a lot of people who have been unjustly killed, when they are parade through the streets. Yun Hao once saw the prisoner use a knife to cut a huge injustice on his chest. After asking about it, it is said that this guy raped a woman in the toilet and strangled her to death. And he kept saying that he was the informant, but he just happened to find the body.

I can't manage it, and I can't manage it. The general will be in charge of military affairs, and civil affairs will not be under his management. There are many unjust deaths in the world, and they can't save so many people. Zhang Baoxiang is a guy who stains his red top with human blood, and there are no Turks here. It is better to dye the blood of the thugs than to dye it with the blood of the honest people.

Li Chengqian will be able to arrive in ten days at the earliest, and the most important thing in the entire Yuezhou City is to welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty. For this, Zhang Baoxiang vacated his Thorn History Mansion to clean up. Just waiting for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to move in!

Wang Zhe came, and a letter was handed to Yun Hao. After reading the letter, Yun Hao continued to drink millet porridge. Rice is produced in the south of the Yangtze River, and this millet is specially transported from Guanzhong, which is very rare.

"Handsome! What should we do now? Shouldn't we take advantage of the heavy losses of Ma Boss and send troops to suppress it? Wang Zhe admired Yun Hao's self-cultivation kung fu, like a surging river. Handsome, you just have to be a little unfazed.

"What to do? Cold! Let's go and kill a fart, and the people who beat and die are Lao Tzu's soldiers. Let them fight, and the harder the fight, the better. Let people bring words to the dogs, and don't act rashly. His safety comes first! Also, find someone to contact Boss Ma. Let's just say that this handsome man wants to meet this hero in Dongting Lake! ”

"No!" Wang Zhe got Yun Hao's order, turned around and left.

"Handsome! The people in this Dongting Lake are killing each other, and our military exploits are much less. Sheng Yanshi looked at Wang Zhe who walked out, and said with some regret.

"Military merit? You have been made a marquis, and you are still worried about military exploits. It's not a good thing to go too fast! These soldiers have been with us for many years, and they are distressed to die. When this battle starts, I don't know how many people will die. Let them kill first, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be almost there. We have to deal with them before the prince arrives.

They are all old bandits for many years, and there are some belongings in the water village. Brothers follow us out to fight to the death, isn't it just to get rich? This must be done before the arrival of the prince, otherwise the big head will be the court. Got it? ”

"Handsome! What the hell do you mean, the subordinates are a little confused. and to deal with them before the prince, and not to take the initiative to suppress them. This......! ”

"We won't move until the gunpowder comes. Just let them kill each other, I have a way to get them to kill for us. ”

"No!" For this young boss, Sheng Yanshi believes unconditionally. Since following Yun Hao, this boss has never suffered a loss. Every time, it was a beautiful battle, and the money was not less. This time, it will definitely not be an exception.

"Prepare a dozen large boats, the sides of the hull are full of straw men. I worked tonight! Yun Hao thought for a moment and commanded.

"Straw man?" Sheng Yanshi asked with some puzzlement.

"Haven't you heard of straw boats borrowing arrows?"

"Straw boat borrowing arrows?" Sheng Yanshi shook his head, looking confused.

Yun Hao then remembered that Luo Guanzhong had not yet been born in this year. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms written by himself has not mentioned this story.

"That's what's coming, and tonight you'll know what a straw boat borrows an arrow." Yun Hao said with a smile.

Sending away the confused Sheng Yanshi, Yun Hao yawned and decided to rest. There's a lot to do tonight, so it's better to get some sleep. In the middle of winter, there's nothing more comfortable than getting back to sleep.

At dusk, Yun Hao had dinner. When it was completely dark, he sailed out of Yuezhou City with more than a dozen warships full of scarecrows. The fleet sailed quietly in the night, and there was no moon on the night of the second day of the new year. Wang Zhe kept looking up at the sky, while Yun Hao held a compass and kept telling him where the north was.

Under the comparison between the two, they soon found Zhang Shisan's water village. In the dark, Zhang Shisan's water village was lit up. It stretches for miles like a city floating on water.

It was the first time Yun Hao had seen Zhang Shisan's water village, but he didn't expect the rules to be so big. No wonder he said that he dared to call the Water Dragon King in Dongting Lake, and even Li Xiaogong dared to ambush him.

"Dashuai, this water village is just Zhang Shisan's general village. There are also three sub-villages nearby, and if you count the old and young vassals, I am afraid that there will be no less than 100,000 people. However, there are only 30,000 or 40,000 people who can really go into battle. Wang Zhe has already cultivated into a roundworm in Yun Hao's stomach, and with a glance from Yun Hao, he can guess a little bit of Yun Hao's meaning.

"The government is forcing the people to rebel! After they have been exterminated, these innocents must not be slaughtered. They are all sufferers, and they have no choice but to become thieves. Let's beat the drums! Yun Hao commanded, and the war drums on the warship immediately beaten.

The sound of war drums of "dong" and "dong" was heard far away in the dark Dongting Lake. Zhang Shisan's cottage seems to have come to life in an instant. Countless people lit torches and went to the boat, and the walls of the wall were full of strong men with bows and crossbows.

Zhang Shisan finally managed to deal with the indignant Fujiwara Tadaichi during the day, not that he didn't want to attack Ma Boss immediately. It's because he can't be sure that when he attacks Boss Ma, will the grandfather in Yueyang City come to dig out his lair.

He has been operating this water village for almost 20 years, and it can be said that his life's efforts have been on it. If there is a bad thing, then even the foundation will be gone. You must take care of Yun Hao's movements, and then kill Ma Boss.

However, what happened to Fujiwara Tadaichi also made him vigilant. Tonight, a number of small boat patrols have been arranged. Around the water village, several layers of protective nets have been formed densely, and as long as the enemy arrives, it will definitely be warned in advance. What he didn't expect was that the enemy army actually came.

Hurriedly put on bamboo armor, Zhang Shisan jumped onto the wall like a rabbit. I couldn't see anything clearly on the dark lake, only the deafening sound of drums, and the invective of my father and mother, Lao Tzu.

"The big boss can't see how many ships there are on the other side. However, with so many people, there should be no less than thirty ships. What do you think? Do you want to lead the team out and send them into the lake to feed the fish as if they were yesterday during the day. ”

"You're crazy! Do you know how many people there are outside, and you dare to go out? Ma Boss doesn't have so many people, he must be someone who borrowed it from somewhere. Don't entangle with them, as long as you get close to the water village, shoot them back with arrows. Zhang 13 commanded.
