Chapter 22: The Sorrowful Chen Dayong (I)
"I said, what kind of road are you kidding? How far is it? Yu Dazhi used a horsewhip to hit Chen Dayong, who was riding a mule and leading the way. This Chen Dayong is Chen Qitai's eldest son, an honest farmer, as soon as he heard that Zhao Zhi was going to pay for a guide, he immediately stood up and said that he was willing to take the errand. Just kidding, 2 oceans can buy a lot of food this year, not to mention that Zhao Zhi is still in charge of food and housing, which is more cost-effective than pretending to be a bandit to rob the road.
Chen Dayong is not an errand taken by himself, Chenjia Village is surnamed Chen, with Chen Dayong's appearance, more than a dozen young people have come out one after another, regardless of the opposition of their own mothers and sons, insisting on following Chen Dayong to make money, and making those old men and old ladies half angry. But this was voluntarily done by their own unlucky children, and then looked at the guns Zhao Zhi and the others were holding in their hands, and finally nodded and agreed.
Zhao Zhi's intention of looking for a guide in Chenjia Village is very clear, these people have fled here, and they should be very familiar with the terrain on this road, even if they are not familiar with the terrain, they should know almost all about the places where the puppet army is stationed. Zhao Zhi's consistent approach is to explore the road before acting, and only after determining the opponent and the terrain can he choose the battlefield, and choosing a terrain that he is not familiar with as the battlefield is not Zhao Zhi's style.
According to Chen Qitai, there are dozens of soldiers and more than 100 puppet troops stationed in Ranzhuang, and they are now hoarding materials for building artillery towers, saying that they are waiting for the weather to get warmer, and they will build a cannon tower in Ranzhuang. This Ranzhuang of hundreds of households is the only way for Zhao Zhi to go to Taiyuan, and Ranzhuang is surrounded by lofty mountains and mountains, and he doesn't even want to go over the mountain road, so Zhao Zhi must defeat the puppet army stationed in Ranzhuang. Yu Dazhi was taking Chen Dayong to explore the road, and on the way to Ranzhuang, Zhao Zhi and other mercenaries were still behind.
Chen Dayong, who was beaten by Yu Dazhi with a horsewhip, was a little annoyed, this kid was still relying on his big waist and round body at the beginning, and provoked Yu Dazhi, but he never thought that he was not someone's opponent at all. Before he could see other people's moves, he was pushed out by a mercenary with his shoulders and fell far away, if it weren't for this guy to lead the way, I was afraid that if he didn't beat himself up, it wouldn't be over. So even if this guy is bullied by Yu Dazhi, he can only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach - endure it, this group of people is too crossing, and he can't afford to provoke him.
Chen Dayong took Zhao Zhi and them on a small road, which can be directly inserted into Chenjiagou, which is a few miles away from Ranzhuang, where Chen Qitai and others lived for generations before they fled. It was Zhao Zhi's idea to go to Chenjiagou first, he needed a place to settle before the action, so he couldn't just go straight to Ranzhuang, didn't he have to follow the plan.
Chenjiagou is a terrain sandwiched between two mountains, and there is not much land that can be cultivated, if it weren't for the fertile soil here, I'm afraid that I would have moved to another place long ago if I didn't come. At present, although the abandoned village they occupy in the mountains is not as good as the soil quality of Chenjiagou, it is better because there is more arable land, and as long as it is managed well, it can still feed a lot of people. "This is our Chen Jiagou" Chen Dayong, who was beaten all the way by Yu Dazhi with a horse whip, replied angrily, even if he was beaten by Yu Dazhi like this, he would get angry, not to mention that Chen Dayong was also the son of the village.
"Hey, I'm still angry when I speak" Yu Dazhi put the hood on his head with a horsewhip, and looked at Chen Dayong with a smile on his face, didn't he just knock it a few times with a horsewhip, why can't he afford to play like this? Yu Dazhi has a strange problem, he likes to with people, the more you don't let him do it, the more energetic he becomes. Under Zhao Zhi's hands, he is naturally honest and obedient, but isn't Zhao Zhi not here now, this kid will play with Chen Dayong as soon as his eyes roll. It should also be Chen Dayong's bad luck, and he happened to be assigned to Yu Dazhi's team as a guide.
Chen Dayong didn't dare to talk back to Yu Dazhi, and several mercenaries around him were staring at him, but this kid was also tough, and his face showed a provocation without saying anything. "Snap" Yu Dazhi didn't have to knock this time, but changed it to smoke directly, although the force used was not very large, but it also made Chen Dayong choke enough. "Lao Tzu fought with you" Chen Dayong roared angrily, grabbed Yu Dazhi's horsewhip and pulled it hard, Yu Dazhi, who was riding on the horse, didn't expect this cropper to have so much strength, and was dragged down the horse before he had time to let go, and fell into a flat sand and a goose style.
"Don't move, I'll come by myself" Yu Dazhi, who fell from the horse and grinned, retreated the mercenaries who were going to help him, and Zhao Zhi before, he was just a street gangster, and he had experienced things that were a hundred times worse than now, not to mention that now he just fell. "Good boy, the guts are fat enough" Yu Dazhi, who got up from the ground, was not angry, patting the dust on his body and looking at Chen Dayong who was on guard with a smile.
Zhao Zhi has a lot of mercenaries, but the only ones who can really be regarded as henchmen are Yu Dazhi and Yan Wudao, so these guys are also looking for useful people for Zhao Zhi in private. Although Chen Dayong is just a farmer, he is honest and honest, his surname is upright, as long as he cultivates it well, although he can't be a big man, he is a good candidate to keep his family, at least Zhao Zhi doesn't have to worry that Chen Dayong will roll up his money and run away, so Yu Dazhi wants to use means to convince this black man and let him work for Zhao Zhi.
"The master doesn't bully you, as long as you can knock the master down, these oceans will be yours, and the master will no longer beat you with a horsewhip in the future, how about it? Dare to try it? Yu Dazhi took out a dozen stacks of oceans from his saddle bag and put them on the side of the stone, and looked at Chen Dayong with a sneer. A dozen oceans are nothing to Dazhi, but for Chen Dayong, who is digging in the soil all day, it is a lot of money, looking at the ocean on the stone, Chen Dayong scratched his head and asked, "Then what if I lose?" I don't have any money for you."
Boy, his heart is quite fine, Yu Dazhi scolded secretly and laughed, "I don't want your money, if you lose, as long as you are a follower for half a year, you can do it in vain, you will be paid" Chen Dayong compared his eyes with his eyes and Yu Dazhi's figure, hesitated for a long time or gritted his teeth and agreed to compete with Yu Dazhi, after all, the dozen oceans are too tempting. The rear team led by Zhao Zhi has not yet come, anyway, it has arrived at the place, and after sending out a guard post, the mercenaries have formed a loose circle, waiting to see the competition between Yu Dazhi and Chen Dayong.
