Chapter 56 Di Gong
That night, the lights on Diaotiao Mountain were brightly lit. Chickens and sheep were being killed in the village, and the cow in front of the hall was held together for the whole village.
Turn the clock back to the afternoon.
At this time, Zhang Chong led Chen Huan, Yang Mao, and Ding Sheng's troops on the mountain road, and the rest of the villages stayed at Wangzhoufeng Dazhai to prevent any unexpected events.
Zhang Chong's soldiers were all brought out by him. Along the way, no one spoke except for the sound of Shasha's walking.
The scouts in front were already scattered in the dense forest.
These more than ten people were selected by Zhang Chongzhuan from among the people of Mount Tai. Each of them was a strong walker in the mountains and was accustomed to using bows and crossbows. Zhang Chongzhuan gave them the military title "Flying Army".
Just when they reached Diaotiao Mountain, three Feijun scouts came through the forest. The leader was Meng Ju, the commander of Feijun. He was a mountain warrior specially accepted by Zhang Chong.
When this man first joined the army, he was unruly and unruly. He said that people in the mountains only recognized fists, and he would be a soldier of anyone who could defeat him, otherwise he would take the corn with him.
Good guy, this is the first time Zhang Chong has seen someone who wants to get his corn for free and not become his soldier.
Then Zhang Chong told him what Shabo's fist was.
Finally, Meng Ju was convinced and became the chief of the flying army under Zhang Chong.
As soon as Meng Ju came up, he said he saw a baggage team in the forest, probably from Diaotiao Mountain.
Zhang Chong immediately led Qu Bu into the forest quickly.
At this time, I saw dozens of men carrying rice cakes on the mountain road transporting grain.
Zhang Chong was still observing, and Wang Zhang next to him looked at a person in the team who seemed familiar to him.
Suddenly, Wang Zhang crawled to Zhang Chong's ear, pointed at the man at the foot of the mountain and said:
"Qu Kui, I know this man. More than a year ago, my little dad and I went to look for my husband. It was this man who told us that my husband and others were picked up by Heizi and taken to Shigu Mountain."
Oh, when Wang Zhang said about this person, Zhang Chong remembered that his father also said that he had never seen such a greedy person before. He was a wonderful person.
Zhang Chong suddenly thought of a plan, whispered to Wang Zhang, and then led Fei Junshi down.
As soon as he returned to the team, Wang Zhang hurriedly admonished:
"Captain Qu, there is one thing I have to say, that is, Captain Qu, you love to take risks too much. It was like this several times before. Yes, we were weak at that time and had to be like this.
But now we have hundreds of strong soldiers, even if we fight face to face with Zhang Suo, we can win. Why do you have to risk it all alone? Have you ever thought about it? If something unexpected happens, our team will be separated. . ”
It was no wonder that Wang Zhang was so anxious, because just now Zhang Chong actually told him that he wanted to sneak into the baggage team and go into Diaohu Mountain to investigate the truth.
How dangerous is this?
When the generals saw that Wang Zhang was angry, they were still surprised when they heard Zhang Chong laugh and say:
"Everyone, come together, let me tell you why I am so unwise."
"Those of you who have fought in mountain battles know how high a price this kind of attack costs, but do we have the capital to pay this price now?
We now have two hundred soldiers. If we really want to attack hard, believe it or not, we will lose half of them in just one afternoon.
What if we surround them without attacking them and trap them to death? If it were another mountain gathering, no problem, but Zhang Suo was not alone. He also had Zhang Hong's troops at the foot of the mountain.
It may not be long after our siege here, but Zhang Hong will cut off the food route over there. By then, let alone Zhang Suo, we will all starve to death in this old mountain.
Therefore, I have to sneak in, find out the reality of this thief, and then attack the enemy. As for the dangers you are worried about, you are actually worrying too much.
Not to mention that if we knew the details of my countrymen, how could he dare to betray me? And even if you dare to betray me, I can fight my way out of this mountain alone. ”
But no matter how much Zhang Chong spoke, everyone shook their heads and insisted on letting him bring more people. Having no choice, Zhang Chong took Wang Zhang, Li Wu, and Meng Ju together.
Here Zhang She, carrying rice on his back, was sighing as he followed the bandits in Diaohu Mountain.
He never expected that such a clever person like him would eventually fall into the hands of his bad wife.
More than a year ago, he received two pieces of cloth and a bag of salt from the third brother of the Gouzi family, but he did not expect that the disaster would happen now.
At first, he was wary and only packed the salt for use. He hid the two pieces of cloth in the cabinet at home. It was not until these days that he went out to buy more clothes for his bad wife.
Unexpectedly, this mother-in-law is very show-off. She walked around the streets wearing new clothes, and then she was noticed by the dog slave of Zhang Tiehu's family. She thought that he had made some kind of fortune, so she was thinking about him.
When the dog slave asked him where the things came from, he told the truth without hesitation.
To be honest, he was not afraid of this dog slave. After all, he was from the countryside, so why bother getting upset over this matter.
But the dog slave finally snatched his cloth and dragged him to carry grain for the thieves in Diaohu Mountain. It was really a hard life.
After walking for a while, his stomach growled. Zhang Zhi became anxious and hurriedly told the person in front to go do something.
After getting it right, Zhang She hurriedly hid in the forest. Just as he was about to lift his hakama, he was suddenly dragged behind a tree.
Zhang She was stunned, and then a knife was placed on his neck. His whole body tensed up, and then he couldn't control it anymore and spurted out.
Zhang Chong and others were really lucky to meet this wonderful person.
It has to be Wang Zhang. His expression remains unchanged and he scares Zhang She:
"Do you still recognize Nai Gong?"
Zhang She was so embarrassed that he felt the warmth. He suddenly heard this and took a closer look. He was startled and said in a panic:
"Heroes, I really don't want to betray you. I, the pig, always keep my mouth shut. It's my bad wife who talks too much. Heroes, please don't kill me." Wang Zhang and others exchanged glances with each other, and followed Zhang She's words. Fraud:
"Dog slave, you don't know how powerful we are. Do you think that if you sell us, everything will be fine? Now, I'm going to kill you." After saying that, he tried to stab him.
At this time, Zhang She was really frightened. He cried and begged for mercy, just wanting to live.
When Zhang Chong saw that he was almost there, he grabbed him and said warmly:
"It's easy to survive, and I will give you ten more pieces of cloth, as long as you do us a favor and take us into Diaohu Mountain."
But at this moment, Zhang She buried his head and remained silent.
Zhang Chong cursed secretly and only added:
"In this way, after the matter is completed, I will open a warehouse for you to move. As long as you can move, any amount you move will be yours."
These words were so powerful that Zhang Xuan immediately became confused. He always said the same thing when buying things now: "It's yours to move as much as you can."
The next thing was simple. Zhang She found a stream of water, cleaned it a little, and then led Zhang Chong and four others to the wall of Diaoyu Mountain.
The guard had to recognize Zhang She and let him go when he saw it was him.
As for Zhang Chong and the other four, they were not suspected at all, because Da Langjun came today and brought many people with him, and he thought they were from Da Langjun's side.
Zhang Chong and others had just entered the village, and before they had a good look, they were stopped by someone.
A Cangtou came over, scolded them for being cunning, and then asked them to move the drinks into the lobby quickly. Zhang Chong and the others did not dare to refuse, so they immediately entered the lobby carrying a jar of wine.
At this time, the lobby of Diaotiao Mountain was in full swing. All the thieves gathered here, drinking and drinking, and people kept bringing wine and meat.
As soon as Zhang Chong came in, he saw Zhang Qiu, the head of the hall. He was startled and immediately lowered his head and hid in the crowd.
In fact, Zhang Chong was overly worried. His current figure, let alone Zhang Qiu, would have been unrecognizable to his father more than a year ago.
At this moment, night falls, and the hall is facing the outside of the mountain. The sky and the earth are dark, and only a dozen torches in the hall are burning.
In the fire pit, the cattle, sheep, and pigs were still roasting, and cooks kept giving the cooked meat to the thieves. Everyone was drinking wine, eating meat, and having fun.
Zhang Suo, who was sitting in the hall, raised his bowl while exchanging drinks with the brothers below, while Zhang Qiu was sitting at the table next to him, watching everything with a smile.
Some people came to honor him, but he only tasted it briefly. Several thieves were so angry that they smashed their bowls and scolded the man for being unhappy.
But Zhang Qiu didn't refute, saying that he was too drunk.
Zhang Suo was watching all this, snoring in his heart, and drank another bowl of bad wine.
Zhang Chong had been pretending to be a thief, and was constantly being ordered to buy wine and meat, but Zhang Chong's thoughts were all on Zhang Qiu, and his intuition told him that Zhang Qiu was here, and it was not easy.
Sure enough, he soon saw Zhang Qiu put his hand under the desk and gestured several times to the waiting guards, who then left without hesitation.
Zhang Chong felt something was wrong and hurriedly winked at Wang Zhang and the others. Then the four of them retreated into the shadow of the wall pillars and observed everything.
Suddenly, it was boiling outside. The thieves looked outside in confusion, and saw dozens of people rushing in with knives, slashing at anyone they saw.
The thieves got up in a hurry and were about to get their knives, but where were the knives? Also, why is my body so heavy?
Then I saw the thieves in the hall lying on the ground one after another, their limbs weak.
Everyone in the room knew that there was something wrong with the wine.
Those who rushed in were the troops brought by Zhang Qiu. Under the leadership of Qing Nu, they killed people on sight and fought all the way to Zhang Qiu's side.
Seeing that the situation was under control, Zhang Qiu took a bite of the cold beef on the table and praised his good workmanship.
"Why?"
Seeing Zhang Suo asking this question, Zhang Qiu laughed, and then he laughed wildly.
"Why? Isn't this what you want? Brother. When you were happy in the mountains, did you ever think that everything you enjoyed belonged to the Zhang family? You still dare to hook up with Xu He behind our backs. < br>
If you want to use my Zhang family's foundation as your promotion step, I'm afraid you are dreaming. ”
At this moment, Zhang Suo was still calm and composed, as if he wanted to understand before he died, and he kept asking:
"How did you know about me and Xu He? There are people of yours in my village? That's right, it's normal. I asked stupid questions."
Zhang Qiu ignored Zhang Suo and took a few more bites of beef. Not to mention he was quite nervous doing this. He hadn't eaten anything all night, so this was a foregone conclusion, so he had to eat something quickly.
Zhang Suo is still asking:
"Aren't you curious where I hid all the property of my ancestor, King Qi? You just killed me like this and don't even want the property anymore?"
Hearing this, Zhang Qiu was surprised:
"What, how did you know this?"
Hearing this, Zhang Suo stood up and laughed:
"I know a lot more!"
After saying that, he pushed the desk in front of him and saw dozens of thieves wielding axes break out of the wall from behind Zhang Suo.
