Chapter 60 Beef
Zhang Nan ran on the rugged mountain road risking his life.
He knew that as long as he could find Qu Kui a moment earlier, the brothers in the village would have an extra chance of survival.
Moreover, he had walked through the bandits' camp all the way, and he roughly knew that this group of people was fictitious, disorganized, and a ragtag group. As long as he found the leader of the team, he would be able to capture him in one fell swoop.
But there was still a trace of worry in his heart.
With one load, there were so many bandits in the camp at the foot of the mountain that he saw no less than six in the Hundred People's Gate alone, not counting those elsewhere.
One worry is that he is worried that Qu Kui's attack on Diaotiao Mountain will be unfavorable. Once he knows that the rear is in danger and the army advances or retreats inappropriately, he will become Qu Kui's sinner.
It was with this complicated mood that Zhang Nan finished the fifty-mile mountain road.
By the time we arrived at Diaohu Mountain, it was already dark. It was quiet all around, and Qu Kui and the others could not be seen at all.
No, is this a win or a loss?
But they had already arrived here. As soon as Zhang Nan gritted his teeth, he took the risk and ran up the mountain. His belief at this moment was that Qu Kui would definitely win.
Before reaching the mountainside, a fishing net swayed and caught Zhang Nan. Zhang Nan struggled desperately, but was dragged into the air by a group of people jumping out from behind the tree.
When Zhang Nanzheng lamented that my life was at an end, a familiar voice came:
"Hey, why are you here?"
When Zhang Nan heard this, he immediately raised his head and lit the torch. He saw clearly that the ugly man in his eyes was none other than Jin Quan under Ding Sheng's command.
This native of Jibei, who had been abandoned and raised entirely by an old woman, had grown into a rough and powerful man.
He has been practicing Huanshou Sword since he joined Ding Sheng, and he is already the most capable fighter in Ding Sheng's camp.
At this moment, Jin Quan's ugly face was highlighted by the lights, making it particularly terrifying. But Zhang Nan burst into tears as if seeing her family:
"Did Qu Kui win?"
Jin Quan grinned and said with a smile:
"It's not that bad, we, the leader of Ququ, are invincible in the world."
Then, I suddenly wondered:
"Didn't you and Zhang Tun stay behind in Dazhai? Why are you here? Don't you know that you almost missed the ball? When my brother saw you just now, he was planning to shoot."
After saying this, a young man with fur on his mouth next to him smiled honestly.
These words woke Zhang Nan up, but when he was about to get up, he found that he had no strength at all.
Ben was already exhausted from the journey, and now being tormented by Jinquan really exhausted his energy.
He ignored the discomfort and asked Jinquan and others to drag the fishing net and carry him up the mountain. Something big happened at home.
As soon as he heard that it was so serious, Jin Quan picked up Zhang Nan on his back, followed the torch in front of him with his strong hairy legs, and pedaled up the mountain.
By the time Zhang Nan was knocked around and reached the Diaoyu Mountain Dazhai, Zhang Chong and the others had finished counting the prisoners and were packing the captured prisoners.
At the end of the night, Longitude Man waited for the officials who accompanied the team to count, and counted 800 Dingkou prisoners, including 400 brave ones.
It turns out that the Diaotun Mountain Dazhai is also a Dazhai that can recruit more than a thousand brave men. But after two groups of people fought at night, most of them died or fled, and those who were willing to follow General Shi were the ones who were willing to follow him.
But the money, grain, and equipment were overwhelming. Zhang Suo built three warehouses in total, all of which were full of money, silk, millet, and equipment. These could not be counted in a short time.
But things are like this, happiness and sadness in the world are conserved. Zhang Chong and others were eating cattle and roasting sheep, and when the cheers continued, Zhang Nan, who was being carried on his back, told them that Wang Zhoufeng was surrounded by a group of thieves.
Suddenly, the whole place fell into silence.
When everyone was silent, Zhang Chong burst out laughing. "I was worried about how to deal with this group of thieves in Taishan, and now they are coming out in force. It's just the right time for me to get in."
Duman also said:
"We have been fighting fiercely in the mountains for a year. Why is it so difficult? It's not because these bandits only roam in the mountains. Now they take the initiative to attack, which is exactly what we want. How can those hungry bandits defeat our well-fed and well-fed elites?"
The generals were encouraged by Zhang Chonghe, and their morale was greatly boosted.
Afterwards, Zhang Chong ordered all the generals to seize the time, rest for half the night, and then rush on the road under the moonlight in the second half of the night to attack the bandits in the old village in the early morning.
The generals responded and took their men to rest.
Each side left, and Duman stepped forward and whispered to Zhang Chong:
"Qu, what should we do with the prisoners and seizures here? We only have two hundred soldiers in total. If we all go down the mountain, wouldn't all of this be in vain?"
Zhang Chong looked at Duman intently and suddenly smiled:
"So, I plan to let you stay here to guard a group of people. Do you have the confidence?"
Duman was a little panicked when Zhang Chong saw him, but he still calmed down and said solemnly:
"He will not be disappointed."
Zhang Chong patted Duman and said, I trust you very much.
——
"Hey, Shitou, can you sleep?"
Here, a soldier from Yitun Yishi was asking his commander Zhao Rong.
Zhao Rong and Tun Deputy Wei Zhou were both natives of Jibei, and one of the seventy-five old brothers sworn by Zhang Chonglin.
His real name was Gun, but he didn't think it sounded good, so he asked Zhang Chong to give him a name, Zhao Rong. The person who asked him what he said was his Shili pick, called Mountain Dog, who was a Taishan citizen who was supplemented by Zhang Chong after he entered the mountain.
Zhao Rong didn't answer him and turned over to sleep again, but the mountain dog still asked:
"Shitou, the beef I ate today is so delicious. I have never eaten beef in my life. Hey, Shitou, how many times have you eaten beef?"
"Yes, yes, beef is so delicious. If I could eat beef every day, it would be worth dying."
"Bah, you still want to eat every day. Is that what you can think about?"
Just like that, because Shanguo said beef, everyone in the tent fell asleep and started discussing why this beef is so damn good.
Zhao Rong was annoyed and cursed:
"What the heck, Nai Gong has never eaten beef a few times. You guys know how to eat it every day. You are going to fight tomorrow, and you are still craving for beef here."
After Zhao Rong finished speaking, everyone in the tent fell silent.
Still a mountain dog?
"Shitou, in fact, I am willing to die tomorrow. If I can have a meal of beef, I feel that my life in this world was not in vain."
Zhao Rong couldn't sleep now. He stood up and looked at the brothers in the tent. Seeing that they were all making this plan, he opened his mouth and was about to comfort him, but in the end he cursed:
"Damn it, give me a good sleep. After you sleep, go kill the thief with Nai Gong. After killing the thief, Kui and I said, let's eat beef again. Besides, Nai Gong is not dead, so it's not your turn yet."< br>
After saying that, Zhao Rong turned his head away and lay down with his eyes closed to sleep.
Soon, there was no sound from Yitun Yishi's big tent, but I don't know how many people could really sleep.
When the watchman calculated the time in the middle of the night and informed Zhang Chong, the entire team woke up one after another.
Under the push of their respective team leaders, they began to organize their equipment, and then lined up to go to the baggage station to receive rations.
The brothers in the baggage camp stayed up all night, steamed the rice balls one by one, and distributed them to the brothers in the fighting team.
Zhang Chong, who was standing on the steps, looked at the brothers on the field and said nothing. He just said "take care" to Duman and took the lead to walk to the head of the team.
Then the flags of each village were waved, and Zhang Chong meandered down the mountain. Only Duman and Wang Zhang's troops were left in Diaotiao Mountain.
They have to rely on their own fifty people, together with the original soldiers outside the Diaoyu Mountain who survived the fierce battle in the hall, to guard the Diaoyu Mountain.
On pins and needles!
