Chapter 454: The Mysterious Hatsman
After marching for days, the soldiers were very tired, so Qin Shuhuai still had a day off the next day to allow everyone to rest.
On the third day, Qin Shuhuai came to Li Dingguo and asked him how to garrison the 40,000 troops in his hands.
This kind of thing is naturally not difficult, but Qin Shuhuai still wants Li Dingguo to participate, the purpose is to show that he attaches importance to him, and at the same time let him integrate into his system wholeheartedly.
In the past, Liu Bei used three visits to the thatched cottage to invite Kong Ming out of the mountain, and now Qin Shuhuai uses four or five thousand lives as a bargaining chip to recruit Li Dingguo, compared with Liu Bei, Qin Shuhuai belongs to the overlord and has a hard bow, so he wants to seize every opportunity to release his sincerity to Li Dingguo, hoping that he can follow him sincerely in the future.
Li Dingguo is still as bland as water to Qin Shuhuai, but he will do whatever Qin Shuhuai says.
The garrison of the 40,000 coalition troops, he also arranged very simply, that is, 20,000 in Baoji and 20,000 in Hanzhong, and the two points were connected to form a barrier in the western part of Shaanxi to prevent the Demon Sect from entering.
Qin Shuhuai didn't say a word, and did so.
In the afternoon, Qin Shuhuai ordered Meng Wei to lead 20,000 troops to Baoji to garrison, and Zhang Xiao and Meng Hu were Zhang Xiao's deputy generals and went together. Zu Dashou commanded the remaining 20,000 coalition troops and garrisoned them in Hanzhong.
In this way, there was no need for He Renlongbu to be stationed in Ningqiang County, and after saying goodbye to Qin Shuhuai, he returned to Xi'an with his troops.
After Shaanxi had Qin Shuhuai's 40,000 martial arts coalition troops, its defense capability was at least doubled compared to before, and Hong Chengchou finally had the confidence to resist the Demon Sect.
As for the candidate for entering Sichuan, Qin Shuhuai also personally ordered it.
Wang Datong, Zhiren, and Tang Sanniang, plus himself and Li Dingguo.
Wang Datong and Zhiren were chosen because they had good kung fu and could help at critical moments. The main reason for choosing Tang Sanniang is that Sichuan is the home of Tangmen, and it is convenient to go anywhere with Tang Sanniang leading the way.
As for taking Li Dingguo, on the one hand, he wanted to use his power of planning, and on the other hand, of course, he wanted to take the time to talk to him about life and ideals, and continue to ease his antagonism.
Everything was arranged.
On the morning of the next day, Qin Shuhuai, Wang Datong, Zhiren, Tang Sanniang, and Li Dingguo set off for Sichuan.
Starting from Hanzhong, they first rode through Ningqiang County into the border of Sichuan, but did not encounter the Sichuan army along the way, presumably at this moment Cao Guozhang had ordered to shrink his troops.
When I came to Shahe Town, more than 30 miles outside Guangyuan City, it was already dark.
So the five of them dismounted to eat and sharpen, intending to rest for a while and then hurry.
Tang Sanniang is very familiar with Shahe Town, because every time she goes out of Sichuan, she takes the north road, and if she takes the north road, she will definitely pass through Shahe Town, so the task of finding inns and wine shops is entrusted to her.
Qin Shuhuai had a whim, and suddenly asked Tang Sanniang, "Sanniang, is there a delicacy in Sichuan, called hot pot?"
Finally came to Sichuan, of course he wanted to try the legendary authentic Sichuan hot pot.
I didn't want Tang Sanniang to be confused, so I asked, "What is hot pot?"
Yes, Sichuan hot pot is not popular in this era.
"Hehe, nothing. Qin Shuhuai had no choice but to say, "Then Sanniang will lead everyone to find a delicious wine shop." ”
Tang Sanniang smiled, "That's nature." The leader of the alliance and Master Wang and Master Zhiren are easy to come to Sichuan, if I don't do my best to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, it is easy for people to laugh at me for being stingy when I turn back. ”
Wang Datong laughed and said, "Sanniang said it well, people say that there are many delicacies in Sichuan, and the aroma of a slip on the street just now has hooked out all the gluttonous insects called flowers, go quickly, don't delay time." ”
Tang Sanniang said, "Don't worry, Gang Master Wang, I'll take you to taste the good wine of the Drunken Forest Workshop here." ”
Under the leadership of Tang Sanniang, everyone soon came to Zuilinfang, located in the east of the town, but it was an inconspicuous small shop, which did not match its name.
The wine shop has two floors, and the guy recognized Tang Sanniang at a glance, came to greet them happily, and took them to a private room on the second floor.
Tang Sanniang ordered eight or nine big dishes according to everyone's taste, and asked for a jar of good wine. Soon the wine and food were all together, and the wine and food in the drunken forest workshop were really good, and everyone drank and ate, so it was not lively.
Li Dingguo is still like that, neither salty nor light, neither humble nor arrogant, he drinks wine when he comes to salute, and he eats by himself if he has nothing to do, but he is not polite.
At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of a fight coming from downstairs.
Jiren has always been nosy, and said, "I'll go and see." ”
The old boy called Hua Wang also likes to watch the excitement, and also said, "Go together, haha." ”
The two went out of the private room and looked down at the railing on the second floor.
I saw that in the hall downstairs, there were two young people, a man and a woman, who were besieged by five or six good hands.
Those good hands all wore hats, and seemed unwilling to show their true colors. They all hold long knives, and their knife skills are fierce and changeable, but they don't know which school they are.
The two young men were quickly defeated, each of them was stabbed a few times, blood flowed, and they were obviously defeated.
But they still desperately resisted.
And the five or six good hands did not stop, they still attacked, and the swords were all dead.
Wang Datong and Zhiren glanced at each other.
If it is usual, fighting each other in the disputes of the rivers and lakes, and death and injury are common. But now that the martial arts alliance has been established, the factions have long agreed to coexist peacefully and unite with the outside world, even if they really want to fight, they can fight until the winner is divided, and they rarely do this kind of killing again.
Since Wang Datong and Zhiren have bumped into each other, they can't ignore it.
But I heard Wang Datong yell, "What kind of poisonous means, which sect and which faction!"
Jumping down with a bang.
Zhiren also shouted, "It's always called Hua, wait for me." ”
Qin Shuhuai and the others couldn't sit still now, and got up to look at it.
It didn't matter if you looked at it, at a glance, Tang Sanniang immediately shouted out in shock, "Ling'er, Ping'er!"
With that, she rushed out, and with a flick of her arm in the air, she saw three black shadows burst out of her sleeves and fly towards three of the hat-holders with lightning power.
It is the Tang Sect's secret weapon cloud sleeve dart.
"Ding!"
"Poof!
One of them was lucky enough to block the cloud sleeve dart, while the other two were caught off guard, each with a dart in their necks. The faces of the two men quickly darkened, their bodies stiffened, and they fell straight down like wood without even saying a word.
After Tang Sanniang landed, with a flick of her wrist, she took out a bronze dagger from her sleeve, and then stabbed it towards the other hat-maker.
Seeing this, Qin Shuhuai also jumped down randomly.
Li Dingguo stood on the second floor alone, hesitated, but finally jumped down.
He is known as the "Ten Thousand Enemies" on the battlefield, and his kung fu is not bad, and now he has a ninth-level cultivation in the Xiaocheng Realm. If it weren't for the presence of San'er, Meng Hu and others in Zu Dashou's troops, he might not have been captured.
But by the time he jumped, the fight was already over.
Of the five hats, four were killed, all of which were killed by Tang Sanniang.
If Zhiren hadn't stopped him, I'm afraid the remaining one would have been killed by Tang Sanniang!
