After all, Yang Peng was less than nineteen years old in this life. What his master Lin Qing'er said was just "a false age of nineteen", but his real age was only eighteen years old. Encountering Zhan Jinguo who disobeyed military orders and shot arrows indiscriminately on the battlefield, a good encirclement and annihilation battle ended in a rout. In a rage, Yang Peng lost his temper like a child. He lay on the kang and pretended to be dead without eating or drinking. But after all, he was a human being in two lives, and he could still distinguish which one was more important. After Zhang Xiang's earnest persuasion, he immediately jumped up from the kang.
Although Zhang Xiang is only over twenty-four years old, he is more than six years older than Yang Peng and others, and has much richer life experience. As soon as Yang Peng got up, he shouted: "It's time to eat. To celebrate the victory today, we will have an extra meal!"
The cooking team had already received Zhang Xiang's notice, and now he gave the order, and four large pots of bacon stewed with vermicelli and Khitan mutton stewed with cabbage were immediately served. All forty-two people sat down around the long table, all looking at Yang Peng.
"Look what I'm doing, start building!" Yang Peng shouted, then picked up his rice bowl, filled a large bowl, and ate and drank indiscriminately. We are all young people, some are still children, and we can't hold our anger for more than three days. As soon as Yang Peng took the lead, the brothers' emotions immediately rose. In the blink of an eye, the pots and bowls were empty, and many people kept burping and exclaiming that they were enjoying themselves.
"Brothers, please be quiet. Now let's listen to the report on this battle." Yang Peng cleared his throat: "Pu Jinyi escaped by chance this time, but he may not be able to escape our hands next time. Many of our brothers have hunted, and cunning prey is not easy to catch at once. Everyone remembers that we are hunters, and Pu Jinyi is just a prey that has escaped temporarily. Okay, Zhang Xiang will report to everyone. ."
As soon as Zhang Xiang opened his mouth, everyone's mood suddenly became even higher. It turns out that although Mou Jinyi escaped this time, the harvest from the battle was surprisingly good! In the battle, six guards were killed, and one powerful crossbow, four boxes of arrows, four hand crossbows, three boxes of medicinal herbs, more than 65,000 taels of silver, 24 gold bars, and more than 1,700 kilograms of grain were seized. , this is the credit of Duan Zhixian and his three pairs.
In the ambush battle, nine of Pu Jinyi's personal guards were killed, and ten boxes of nine archer crossbows and 200 crossbow arrows were seized. Twelve pieces of fine mink skins, four boxes of centuries-old wild ginseng (four trees), one complete tiger skin (Siberian tiger), sixteen gold bars, and a variety of game bacon. These are the things on Pujinyi's sledge. , must be a new year gift prepared for the Khitan people.
In addition, five sledges, four mules, and one war horse were seized. There is also a box of fine gold and silver used by women, and a gold bracelet. This was the first real seizure by a small team, or a huge fortune gained from hunting down local tyrants. Yang Peng doesn't care about anything. The most precious thing is the gold bracelet. Ever since I was reborn here, I basically have no accurate concept of time. When it comes to fighting, it's all about "ballparking and estimating."
At dawn, at sunset, in the time it takes for a bag of cigarettes, and the time it takes for half a cup of tea, sometimes Yang Peng himself is very confused: Do all people smoke and drink tea at the same time? , "Actually, there are not many households in Jinzhai New District. Pu Jinyi, a weakling, took the initiative to settle his third concubine here in order to please the Khitan people, saying that he would set an example for the people of Jinzhai. This is quite powerful. The crossbow was awarded to him by the Khitan people, and it was also to protect his safety. After all, there are not many caring bastards like him."
Yang Peng was originally distracted looking at the gold bracelet, but Duan Zhixian's sudden words made him fall into deep thought again. Jinzhai is a place in Yingzhou. It was once world-famous, known to all women and children. 100 years ago, people didn’t know Yingzhou, but they knew Jinzhai. Below it is today's open-pit iron mine. There are rich iron ore resources, which can be exchanged for money. Because you can make a thousand gold a day, it is called Jinzhai. The Khitan called it: "a great treasure house of the Liao Kingdom." In order to realize this plan, the Khitan people did a lot of public opinion work and adopted all the despicable and cruel means of eviction. Their strategy is: "To make businessmen and people feel uneasy, and the people will have to leave. Then they buy them off at a low price."
First of all, the organizers spread the word: "Within seven years, all Jinzhai markets will inevitably fall, and the current neighborhood will inevitably become a swamp. The only safe place is where the Khitans are in a low-lying area on the north side of Yingzhou and on the south bank of the Yingzhou River. An area made of waste gangue (laminated flakes inside the iron ore layer). If you don’t follow the Khitan people’s advice to move, you will definitely become a turtle and die without a whole body!”
"Brothers, the situation Duan Zhixian just mentioned is very important. The Khitan forced the old and young men in Jinzhai to move. This is a big deal. Starting from tomorrow, the three classes will take turns to go out to investigate the situation there. One is to grasp the Khitan's situation. Trends, the other is to pay attention to the situation at the Donggou mass grave."
Yang Peng figured out the whole story and then said: "The three teams rotate every seven days, and are controlled by the first captain Zhang Xiang. I hope everyone will strictly enforce battlefield discipline. War is not a child's play, it will kill people! War in the Kingdom of Jin Stay, everyone else should disperse!" After everyone left, Zhan Jinguo sat there with his head lowered. Seeing how exhausted he was, his heart must have been churning.
"You raise your head!" Yang Peng shouted loudly: "Tell me, what happened to you at that time?" Zhan Jinguo trembled all over: "I was ambushing at the back of our class, and the four people on horseback The guy was about to run over, so I just--" "You have a fucking pig brain!" Yang Peng slapped the table: "What is our first military rule? All actions follow the command! We are not Bandits, do you know? If everyone gets into trouble, one of our own people will be injured accidentally. Do you know? If I had arranged for a brother to catch the live ones, your arrow would have killed your own brother. He was beaten to death, do you know that?"
As time went by, Yang Peng's prestige in the team grew. The brothers' awe became more and more powerful. Yang Peng yelled "Do you know?" Zhan Jinguo's body trembled. Because these eight oldest brothers have never seen Yang Peng so angry.
"Brother, I regretted it as soon as the arrow came out!" Zhan Jinguo whispered timidly: "Really, brother! I regretted it at that time, thinking that I would definitely be executed under military law now! Brother, since you were not shot Me, just give me another chance, I really know I was wrong!" "You know you are wrong? You know shit!" Yang Peng set the table and continued to yell: "During dinner today, you did it in front of all the brothers. Come in for an examination! When will everyone think you have passed the test? When will you come to me again! Get lost, I don’t want to see you now!"
After Zhan Jinguo saluted and left, Yang Peng turned around and rubbed his eyes. The few words of "big brother" he said to Jin Guo just now made him feel very uncomfortable, and he really wanted to forgive him. However, this is a team, not a time for parents to be short-sighted. Even if he wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, Yang Peng could only make up his mind to operate on his brother!
"Brother, don't blame me!" Looking at Zhan Jinguo's back with his head bowed and walking away, Yang Peng said silently in his heart: "This is the difference between the army and bandits. We still have a more difficult road to go. Forgive me for having to do this." Do it, otherwise, the future team will not be able to bring a young man for examination in person. In fact, it is more uncomfortable than killing him. At dinner that day, Zhan Jinguo stood in front of everyone, "I, I" for a long time , but not a single word was uttered. The first inspection in public failed!
It was still the same the next day, but it didn’t pass! It was not until dinner on the fifth day that Zhan Jinguo stood up and shed tears before he could speak. Finally, he finally said a complete sentence: "Brothers, don't imitate me. I really made a big mistake this time." Wrong!" Zhan Jinguo held it in for five days and finally got everyone's forgiveness. In fact, the brothers have long forgiven. But seeing that Yang Peng always had a gloomy face, like a gangster, no one dared to speak.
On the fifth day, when everyone saw Zhan Jinguo crying and Yang Peng also crying, they knew that the rain had finally passed and the sky had cleared up. Even if Zhan Jinguo still couldn't say a word later, Huo Huo had already sworn in his heart that he would definitely let him pass today! After this incident, the brothers knew what military regulations were. At the same time, I also learned that there is something more uncomfortable than death in this world, and that is having an examination in public!
It is true that among so many brothers, except for Liu Zhiliang, who went to private school for several years since childhood, none of the others can read Chinese characters. Such a person can usually just chatter and spank, but if he really wants to stand up and say a few coherent words in public, it is really more difficult than killing him. Many of our classmates have had this experience, so it’s okay not to mention it.
An army without knowledge is always a stupid army. A stupid army will never achieve anything! From this day on, Yang Peng adjusted the afternoon training content. All technical and tactical training is arranged in the morning, and there is only one task in the afternoon: reading! Liu Zhiliang was appointed as a teacher, and Yang Peng was appointed as an inspector!
If you don’t have a pen and paper, that’s fine. Just write on the ground. Everyone will sit in a circle and take turns reading and reading along. It's not thawed yet, is the ground too hard? It’s okay, just shovel a pile of snow to smooth it out and write on it with branches! It’s not that Yang Peng doesn’t teach everyone how to read, it’s because in this era all the damn characters are in Traditional Chinese! Yang Peng knew a few traditional Chinese characters, but it was so damn difficult to write them without hesitation and without making mistakes!
Therefore, it is fake that Yang Peng is supervising from the side, but it is true that he steals his skills from his master. This is the advantage of being the leader. No one doubts this seemingly omnipotent big brother. He can't even write, it's all a matter of words! From this day on, everyone counted the time on their fingers every day, when would it be their turn to go out to investigate. Now I am learning to read every afternoon. This is simply not a life for human beings!
Yang Peng knew the tricks of these wimps, and immediately promulgated an additional military regulation: "You will not be able to write your name within three days, your firearm will be confiscated, and you will be grounded! You will not be able to recognize your class within ten days." The name of the soldier here, the captain is dismissed!" The so-called military order fell like a mountain, and it was unstoppable. Having learned the painful lesson of violating military regulations in the War of the Jin Dynasty, all the soldiers gave up any chance and first tried to find a way to clear their names.
These days of darkness lasted for three months in the blink of an eye. The heavy snow gradually melts, the mountains slowly reveal a touch of green, and the new year of spring is here. For Yang Peng's brothers, it's really a beautiful March in spring, and I can touch a gun again! That night, Duan Zhixian's third team returned from the reconnaissance mission and handed Yang Peng a leather bag: "Today we went to Jinzhai New District to check out the situation and saw three old Khitan people gesticulating there. The locals said that the Khitan people were there. Some people said they were looking for treasures and looking at Feng Shui. I saw them putting a few pieces of paper in their bags, so I stole them out, not knowing if they were of any use."
Yang Peng opened his leather bag and took a look at the contents. He was immediately delighted: three maps! Of course there are writing brushes, and even a new hand crossbow! This is not a complete map of Youzhou. One of them is a map of Yingzhou and its surroundings. The other two are the planning map of Jinzhai New Area and the existing layout map of Qianjinzhai. Although they are all marked by birdsong, the basic situation is still clear at a glance.
Duan Zhixian said softly: "Brother, we have been traveling back and forth between the old area and the new area of Jinzhai in the past few days. There are rumors everywhere that a subsidence will occur in Qianjinzhai soon, and if not done well, all the people will be buried." Yang Peng waved his hand: "Don't believe this nonsense, it's a rumor spread by the Khitans. Even if a collapse occurs, it was caused by the Khitans setting off cannons to dig for iron ore under the houses regardless of the lives of the people. What you get back is the Khitans The planning map. They plan to dig up the entire Jinzhai and dig iron ore directly. Now that the people are unwilling to leave, they are spreading rumors. After all, this is still the land of the Song Dynasty, and the Khitans do not dare to mess around. Damn it. The official family of the Song Dynasty is really useless. There is so much iron ore on their own land that they don’t know how much iron they need to refine. These prodigal things. When the time comes, the Khitan people will make iron from the iron ore of the Song Dynasty. The arrows came out to deal with the Song Dynasty people. Eh."
"These bastards are so hateful!" Duan Zhixian gritted his teeth and said, "If I had known this, I should have killed those three Khitan dogs!" "You are right, we just want to scare them. !" Yang Peng nodded and said: "We need to plan carefully and teach them a lesson so that they don't dare to be too presumptuous. Oh, who will be responsible for investigating tomorrow? Is it the first class's turn?"
Duan Zhixian shook his head: "No, we will still be our team tomorrow. Because I got this bag, I came back alone." "That's it, if there is a chance tomorrow, you can secretly do it for them." Yang Peng pondered. After a while: "The key is to find a way to bring their things back. I want to find out how they are planning to carry out the big move."
After Duan Zhixian left, Yang Peng studied the planning map carefully. In his impression, the Khitan planned this matter very carefully, and the entire new area was divided into three areas. The hilly area 60 miles away from Yingzhou City was a place managed by the Khitan people and a settlement where high-ranking Song landowners lived. Pu Jinyi's third concubine lived here. Unfortunately, Yang Peng and the others were caught off guard before the security measures were completed. Yang Peng calculated the time in his mind. Jinzhai New District is still in the process of being gradually implemented, and the large-scale relocation plan has not yet begun. If we don't cause any trouble for the Khitans at the moment, we would be really sorry for them.
Seven days later, Zhang Xiang's team finished their investigation and hurried over to report: "Brother, guess what, we really gained something this time out!" Yang Peng quickly gave up his seat: "What's going on? Sit down and talk slowly!" Didn’t Pu Jinyi run away last time, but he is one of the four foremen of Jinzhai Iron Mine and is very famous. After I changed my disguise, I sneaked into Jinzhai New District and actually found out about Pu Wenxiao, Pu Jinyi’s brother. Whereabouts. Originally, I wanted to find him and then press for Pu Jinyi's whereabouts. Unexpectedly, this bastard is no worse than Pu Jinyi. He is still the capital of the Khitan administrative area! The pair of Pu Jinyi and Pu Wenxiao You bastard, you are indeed a nest of snakes and rats, a born bastard!"
Zhang Xiang said this in one breath before grabbing the teapot and taking a sip of water. Yang Peng knew that there should be more to follow, so he smiled and said nothing. "The last time Pu Jinyi was ambushed, we also robbed the third concubine's house. Pu Wenxiao, a bastard, was able to persuade the Khitan army, and now he has opened a security house near the Happy Garden on Yong'an Terrace , that bastard Pu Wenxiao is in there. I don’t dare to break in alone, there are more than ten Khitan troops.”
While Yang Peng listened, he looked for Yong'an Terrace on the map, and then started to draw, looking for the Happy Garden. There is this place in his memory, the so-called Happy Garden, where brothels are concentrated. The Khitan called that place a bullshit "moral district", which is now the "red light district". "Brother, by eradicating Pu Wenxiao, you can cut off Pu Jinyi's dog retreat." Yang Peng slapped his palm on the map: "You stay at home and keep an eye on the secret camp. I will take Cheng Shijie, Duan Zhixian and Shi Liancheng on a tour. This time is not the case. If we go to slash and kill, it will be useless if there are too many people.”
After dinner two days later, Yang Peng left the secret camp with Cheng Shijie, Duan Zhixian and Shi Liancheng. Except for Zhang Xiang, no one knew where they went. The reason why I chose these three people to follow is because they all have some foundation in martial arts and can use both open and hidden weapons. In Yang Peng's opinion, if the four of them go out together, although they cannot take the general's head among a million soldiers, they should not be able to kill a bastard.
At three o'clock in the morning the next day, the four of them had already reached the dense forest near Jinzhai New District. "Hurry up and change your clothes!" Yang Peng took the small cloth bag on his shoulder and opened it. Inside was a set of black clothes. These were all scraped off enemy corpses and disposed of cleanly, and they came in handy today. At three o'clock in the morning the next day, four men in black walked out of the dense forest with crossbows on their shoulders. They were modified by Yang Peng and the others. If anyone is interested, if you look closely, you will see that the waists of these four men in black are vaguely bulging. There should be some guys inside the black clothes. They entered Jinzhai New District through the west gate with great swagger.
Now it is basically a period of peace, and there are no Khitan inquiries at the city gate. Let’s not look at the southwest direction. That is the place prepared for the bottom ironspots. Yang Peng had already seen almost everything on the map and turned directly to Yong'an Terrace in the northeast.
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
