Chapter 53: The Wind Rises and Rises in the Southeast of Ji (3)
"I heard that someone is going into the city again? On behalf of the Special Envoy, I would like to extend my condolences. A shrill and arrogant voice sounded behind Guo Shanhu and the others.
A middle-aged man wearing a robe and a horse coat, with a mustache and a scowling expression, walked in surrounded by a group of subordinates.
"You are?" Guo Shanhu asked cautiously. I'm afraid that this guy is some kind of big bandit's subordinate.
"I'm Lord Wolf's butler." The goatee said haughtily.
"Oh! I don't know what happened to the housekeeper? Guo Shanhu pretended not to understand and said.
"Lord Wolf Head said, you little cottages need to pay a partnership fee if you want to join the family. Only by paying the occupation fee can you become a subordinate of the mountain carving. Goat Hu held his face high, as if looking at Guo Shanhu would make his taste drop.
"This ......" Guo Shanhu pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Lord Steward, we are just ordinary little bandits, how can we have the financial resources to pay the entry fee, do you think it is accommodating?" ”
"If you don't have money and want to be a big mountain carver, you want to be beautiful. Either you pay the money, or you go to work, anyway, there are jobs in this Liaohekou county that can make money. As soon as Goatee heard Guo Shanhu say that he had no money, he immediately changed his face.
"My lord, my lord, can you take a step to speak?" Guo Shanhu mysteriously walked towards the goatee butler.
"Oh? Do you have something good to offer to Lord Wolfhead? Goatee looked at Guo Shanhu like this, and he thought that he must have something good.
"My lord, I don't know who is in charge of the many heroes gathered in Liaohekou County?" Guo Shanhu said as he stuffed a few pieces of ocean into the hands of the goatee butler. The goatee's eyes lit up, and his eyes were full of appreciation when he looked at Guo Shanhu.
"The four major cottages in Liaohekou County have already come, each of them brought 500 people to rob, and now they all live in the east of the city. In addition, there are more than a dozen small cottages, ranging in number from dozens to hundreds. Most of these people lived in the west of the city. The goatee butler knew everything for the sake of a few silver dollars.
"Lord housekeeper, I don't know if the small one can be a certain commander, those big cottages and small ones don't dare to make up their minds, and the leaders of these small cottages think that they are still competent." Guo Shanhu said flatteringly.
The goatee butler glanced at him disdainfully, and said, "Boy, I didn't expect you to be quite ambitious, but I want to tell you that this commander is not so easy to be." At least I don't have the ability. ”
"My lord, there is a small family heirloom that can be dedicated to Lord Wolf's Head, and I hope that Lord Steward will introduce it. If the little one really becomes the leader of one party, he will never forget the great kindness of the housekeeper. Guo Shanhu said very sincerely.
"A family heirloom?" As soon as I heard this, the goatee's eyes lit up completely!
"This housekeeper can help you introduce, don't forget the benefits of this housekeeper when the time comes."
"Rest assured, the little ones are definitely not ungrateful." Guo Shanhu said with an oath.
In the largest mansion in Liaohekou County, Zhou Yuan, a wolf-headed man like a fat pig, was squinting his eyes and drinking tea. In addition to power, he likes money in his life, and he doesn't particularly care about women. In addition to counting one's own money, it is to drink tea. In this assignment, he reaped a lot of benefits from Haoqiang in Liaohekou County. Coupled with the filial piety of the little bandits who entered the city, it adds up to thousands of oceans. For the four bandits who were called, the wolf head tried his best to entrap them, of course, he would not ask them for filial piety, but rewarded them with a lot of money. He knew that this troubled team was the foundation of his life. As for the little bandits who came to defect, the wolf head didn't care at all. The big bandits still have some combat effectiveness, and the small bandits are simply a rabble.
"Master, today there is another wave of small cottages in the city, and their masters seem to have treasures to present to you. I'm waiting outside. The goatee butler cautiously walked in and said.
"Baby? What does he ask for? Zhou Yuan opened his eyes and said. The experience over the years has taught him that the greater the request, the more valuable the gift will be.
"He asked to be the leader of those little bandits." The old man with the goatee said cautiously. Although this Zhou Coin is greedy for power and wealth, he is not a fool, and he is playing tricks in front of him, I am afraid that he will not know how to die. After following him for a few years, he knew how ruthless the seemingly kind fat pig in front of him was.
"The leader of the little bandits?" A gleam flashed in Zhou Yuan's eyes.
"Okay, let him in!" Zhou Yuan said. These little bandits are also more complaining about being exploited by themselves after entering the city. Although Zhou Yuan looks down on them, he is also worried that they will make trouble for themselves at a critical time.
"Little Guo Hu see Lord Wolf Head!" Guo Shanhu said respectfully.
"You're asking to be the leader of the little bandits?"
"Yes, Lord Wolf Head, the little one has just come to Liaohekou County to develop, and he urgently needs the prestige in the green forest. Therefore, the little one took the liberty of offering family heirlooms to obtain this position. ”
"What treasure?" Zhou Coin feels good for straightforward people. After all, he has a ruthless personality, and he doesn't want to associate with people like himself.
Guo Shanhu took out a milky white jade pendant from his arms with some pain. This jade pendant is the size of a palm, milky white throughout, without a trace of impurities.
"This is ......" Although Zhou Yuan does not learn and has no skills, he has a unique vision for property. Although I don't know the specific value of this jade pendant, I know that it is definitely worth a lot just by looking at the color.
"This is something handed down by the ancestors of the villain, I don't know how many generations it has been passed on, the little one went to the pawnshop and asked, it is worth at least five thousand oceans. Isn't this thing of much use for a small one, if you sell it, it will appear that you are not filial, it is better to use it in exchange for a better future. Guo Shanhu looked at the jade pendant in his hand with a complicated expression and said.
"You...... Very good! This piece of jade is very fond of the master. As for the position of commander you requested, Master Ben also agreed. It's up to you how far you can go. Zhou Yuan looked at the jade pendant in Guo Shanhu's hand a little greedily and said.
"Thank you for cultivating the adult, the villain will definitely not disappoint your expectations." Guo Shanhu said gratefully. Then he cleverly offered the jade pendant in his hand.
Zhou Yuan played with the jade pendant, very satisfied, and then glanced at the goatee butler. The goatee understood and said to Guo Shanhu: "Commander Guo, follow me to announce the appointment!" ”
"Thank you, Lord Wolfhead, thank you, butler." Guo Shanhu said with a grateful face.
After Guo Shanhu left, the greedy expression on Zhou Yuan's face became extremely obscene: "It's here, five thousand oceans!" It's bigger than the income of Lord Ben these days. That fool, with this jade pendant, it is no problem to become the lord of a city. I didn't expect it to be cheaper, but this time it was really not in vain. ”
In the mountains on the edge of Tonghua County. The group took advantage of the night to move forward secretly.
"Young marshal, the front is the territory of Tonghua County. According to intelligence, Zhang Zuolin's four regiments have now converged under the county seat of Tonghua. If nothing else, the attack will be launched at dawn tomorrow. Jing Tong said. Feng Yong's two radio stations only dared to turn on at night, and they used passwords to contact them, for fear that they would attract the attention of the mountain carving.
Feng Yong nodded, and he was also very nervous. "Where is the Eagle Raising Army of the Mountain Eagle?"
"According to their itinerary, they should be able to reach Tonghua County tomorrow. His subordinates thought that Tang Yulin might first capture the county seat of Tonghua, and then meet the Yingyang army in the county seat. ”
"It's all tomorrow to Tonghua County, the action of this Eagle Yang Army is really slow, it really lives up to its great name, it seems that the combat effectiveness of this Eagle Yang Army is not very good!" Feng Yong sighed.
"Young Marshal, according to our intelligence, the reason why the Eagle Yang Army's journey is so slow is that they have expanded to 20,000 people before they set off, and they are constantly running in the ranks on the way to the march. In addition, the intelligence system of the mountain carving is somewhat backward, and the utilization rate of the radio station is not high. That's why the two sides will have a situation where the Eagle Yang Army is even slower than Tang Yulin. ”
"Expanded? 20,000 people? It's lively! I don't know what kind of expression Zhang Zuolin is now! Feng Yong squinted his eyes and said.
"I guess it's not pretty! After all, its five regiments of regular army also have a large number of recruits, and the combat effectiveness is probably not as high as expected. ”
"No matter what! None of our 7,000 people are opponents of both sides, we must do a good job of the concealment of the team, is there any situation in Liu Hei's forward battalion? ”
"Commander Liu said that everything is normal, but, young marshal, the population we are holding this time is already hundreds, and the pressure on our logistics is extremely great. You see if you keep them here to supervise. Let's travel light? ”
Feng Yong nodded and said, "Let the Third Regiment leave a company to supervise these people, and we must wait until we make a name for ourselves in Tonghua County before we can release these people." Also, tell Liu Hei to let his people be nicer to these ordinary people, and if I let me know that the three regiments of them have indiscriminately killed innocents, I will definitely not spare him. ”
"Yes!" Jing Tong hurriedly went down to spread the word.
"Husband, you can eat something!" Zhao Ya, who was dressed in men's clothes, said with some cold and hard food. This kind of concealed march, of course, is to avoid fire as much as possible, and most of the baggage carried by the team is some cooked food that can be eaten raw or prepared a long time ago. Now that the weather in the Northeast is cold, these cooked foods can also be stored for a long time.
"Ya'er, you said you are a girl, why do you have to follow?" Feng Yong said helplessly.
He came to Feng Yongzhen secretly, and few people except Li Jun knew about it. Even Zhao Ya didn't know at first. But he didn't stay in Feng Yong Town for long, Zhao Ya came alone, looking at Zhao Ya in men's clothes, Feng Yong didn't know whether to be angry or moved. originally wanted her to go back, but Zhao Ya was unexpectedly resolute about this issue. In the end, Feng Yong could only let her become his own personal soldier. Always by his side, although Zhao Ya's kung fu is quite good, after all, he is still flesh and blood, no matter how strong he is, he is not as sharp as a bullet. Being by your side can also put yourself at ease. For Feng Yong's order, Zhao Ya did not reject it. As for the political commissars of several regiment commanders, they also know Zhao Ya's identity, of course no one will say anything. In this way, Zhao Ya became Feng Yong's justifiable personal soldier.
