Chapter Nine, Into the Tiger's Den

After all, Yang Peng was only nineteen years old in this life. What his master Lin Qing'er said was just "nineteen years old", and his real age was only eighteen years old. When Zhan Jinguo disobeyed military orders and shot arrows indiscriminately on the battlefield, he was fine.

An encirclement and annihilation battle ended in a rout. In anger, 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, which one was lighter.

He could still tell the difference between weight and weight. 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 the others, and has much richer life experience. As soon as Yang Peng got up, he shouted: "dinner is ready, we are celebrating today"

Win the battle and get extra meals together!"

The cooking team had received a notice from Zhang Xiang a long time ago. Now he gave the order to stew vermicelli with bacon and stewed cabbage with Khitan mutton. Four large basins were immediately brought up. All forty-two people sat down around the long table, eyes level.

He looked at Yang Peng blankly.

"Look what I'm doing, start building!" Yang Peng yelled, then picked up his rice bowl and filled a large bowl, and ate and drank indiscriminately. Everyone was young and some were still children, and they couldn't hold back their anger.

Three days. As soon as Yang Peng took the lead, the brothers' mood immediately rose. In the blink of an eye, the dishes 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 the battle." Yang Peng cleared his throat: "Pu Jinyi managed to escape 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 turned out that although Mou Jinyi escaped this time, the harvest from the battle was surprisingly good! In the battle, six guards were killed, and a powerful crossbow, four boxes of arrows, and a hand crossbow were seized.

Four branches, three boxes of medicinal herbs, more than 65,000 taels of silver, 24 gold bars, and more than 1,700 jins of grain were recovered. This was the credit of Duan Zhixian and his three pairs.

In the ambush battle, nine of Pu Jinyi's personal guards were killed, and nine boxes of archer crossbows and two hundred crossbow arrows were seized. Twelve high-quality mink skins, four boxes (four trees) of century-old mountain ginseng, and a complete tiger skin were seized.

(Siberian tiger), sixteen gold bars, and a variety of game bacon. These are the things on Pujinyi's sledge. They must be New Year's gifts for the Khitan people.

In addition, five sledges, four mules, and one war horse were seized. There was also a box of fine gold and silver used by women, and a gold bracelet. This was the first real seizure by the small team, or it was obtained from hunting down the local tyrants.

A huge fortune. Yang Peng didn't care about anything. The most precious thing was the gold bracelet. Since he was reborn here, he basically had no accurate concept of time. When fighting, he always "roughly estimates."

At dawn, at sunset, in the time of a bag of cigarettes, in the time of half a cup of tea, sometimes Yang Peng himself is very confused: Do all people have the same time to smoke and drink tea?, "Actually, Jinzhai New District

There are not many families at all. In order to please the Khitans, Pu Jinyi took the initiative to settle his third concubine here, saying that he would set an example for the people of Jinzhai. This powerful crossbow was rewarded to him by the Khitans

Yes, but also to protect his safety. After all, there are not many caring bastards like him."

Yang Peng was distracted looking at the golden bracelet here, but Duan Zhixian's sudden words made him fall into deep thought again. Jinzhai is a place in Yingzhou. It was once famous all over the world, and was known to women and children. 100 years ago, people didn't know Yingzhou.

Zhou, but knew Jinzhai. Below it is today's open-pit iron mine. There are rich iron ore resources, and you can exchange them for money. Because you can make a thousand gold a day, it is called Jinzhai. 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 was: "To make the merchants feel uneasy and the people

The situation must go away. Then buy it at a cheap 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 Khitan people 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 scraps (laminated rocks inside the iron ore layer). If you don’t follow the Khitan people’s advice to relocate, you will definitely become a fish and turtle, and you will 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.

Another trend 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 has dispersed!" 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 were

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 acts randomly, you will accidentally hurt your own people. 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 awe of the brothers became more and more powerful. Yang Peng yelled "Do you know", and 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

I, 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 to me 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. Zhan Jinguo's "big brother" words just now made him feel very uncomfortable, and he really wanted to forgive him. However, this is a team, not a family that is short-sighted.

At this time, 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, future teams will not be able to bring a young man to be examined in person. In fact, it is more uncomfortable than killing him. At dinner that day, Zhan Jinguo stood in front of everyone and said "I, I" for a long time.

, but not a single word was uttered. The first public inspection failed!

It was still the same on the second day, but it failed! It was not until dinner on the fifth day that Zhan Jinguo stood up and shed tears before he could speak, and finally said a complete sentence: "Brothers, don't imitate me.

, I really made a big mistake this time!" Zhan Jinguo held it in for five days, and finally got everyone's forgiveness. In fact, all the brothers had already forgiven. But seeing Yang Peng's face always gloomy, like

He was like a gangster, so no one dared to speak.

On the fifth day, everyone saw Zhan Jinguo crying, and Yang Peng also cried, and 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 today

He must be allowed to pass! After this incident, all the brothers knew what military regulations were. At the same time, they also knew that there is something more uncomfortable than death in this world, and that is to be inspected in public!

It is true that among so many brothers, except for Liu Zhiliang, who went to a private school for several years since childhood, none of them can read Chinese characters. Such a person usually chatters and slaps, but if he really wants to stand up and say a few coherent words in public,

That was really more difficult than killing him. Many of our classmates have had this experience, so let’s not talk about it.

An army without knowledge is always a stupid army. A stupid army can never achieve anything! From this day on, Yang Peng adjusted the training content in the afternoon. All technical and tactical training was arranged in the morning, and the tasks in the afternoon were

One: Recognize reading! Liu Zhiliang was appointed as a teacher, and Yang Peng became an inspector!

If I don’t have a pen and paper, it’s nothing. I just write on the ground. Everyone gathers in a circle and takes turns to read and read along. It’s not thawed yet, so the ground is too hard? It’s okay. I shovel a pile of snow to flatten it and put branches on top.

Write! It’s not that Yang Peng doesn’t teach everyone how to read, but it’s because in this era all the damn characters are traditional Chinese! Yang Peng knows a few traditional Chinese characters, but he must write them out without hesitation and make no mistakes. Then

It’s so damn hard!

Therefore, it is a lie that Yang Peng is supervising from the side, and it is true that he steals his skills from others. This is the advantage of being the leader. No one doubts this elder brother who seems to be omnipotent. He can't even write, all he can do is talk.

Great work! From that day on, everyone counted the time on their fingers every day, when would it be their turn to go out to investigate. Now, 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 for 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 in the name, the captain is dismissed!" The so-called military order fell like a mountain, which was unstoppable. Having learned the painful lesson of the Zhan Jin Kingdom's violation of military regulations, all the soldiers gave up any chance, and first of all tried to find a way to clear their names.

This kind of dark days lasted for three months in the blink of an eye. The heavy snow gradually melted, the mountains slowly revealed a touch of green, and the new spring came. For Yang Peng's brothers, it was really: the beautiful scenery in March, and I can

Touch the 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

, the Khitans were hunting for treasures there, and some people said they were 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 inside. He was immediately delighted: three maps! Of course there were writing brushes, and there was actually a new hand crossbow! This was not a complete map of Youzhou, one of them was

The other two maps of Yingzhou and its surroundings are the planning map of Jinzhai New District and the existing layout map of Qianjinzhai. Although they are all marked with birdsong, the basic situation is still clear at a glance.

Duan Zhixian said softly: "Brother, we have been wandering 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 it doesn't go 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 under the houses to dig for iron ore regardless of the lives of the people. What you get back is the Khitans."

They plan to dig up the whole 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 don’t dare to mess around. Damn it.

The officials of the Song Dynasty are really useless. There is so much iron ore on their own land. I don’t know how much iron they will have to refine. These prodigal things. When the time comes, the Khitan people will make iron from the iron ore of the Song Dynasty.

Use the arrows that come out to deal with the people of the Song Dynasty. 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 kill the chickens to scare the monkeys.

!" 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 first." "Well, 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. The entire new area was divided into three areas. The area on the hills 60 miles away from Yingzhou City was managed by the Khitan people.

, 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 they perfected the warning measures. Yang Peng calculated the time in his mind, and Jinzhai

The new district is still in the process of being gradually implemented, and the large-scale relocation plan has not yet begun. It would be a shame not to cause some trouble for the Khitan people at the moment.

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. I didn't expect that this bastard was no worse than Pu Jinyi. He was actually the head 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, then grabbed the teapot and took a sip of water. Yang Peng knew that there should be more to come, so he smiled and said nothing. "Last time Pu Jinyi was ambushed, the third aunt's house was also attacked by us.

They robbed everything. Pu Wenxiao, that bastard, was able to persuade the Khitan army to open a security room near the Happy Garden in Yong'an Terrace. Pu Wenxiao, that bastard, was there. I didn't dare to break in alone.

Once inside, 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 was this place in his memory, the so-called Happy Garden, where brothels were concentrated. The Khitan called that place

That bullshit "ethnic district" is now the "red light district". "Brother, by eradicating Pu Wenxiao, you can cut off one of Pu Jinyi's dog retreats." Yang Peng slapped his palm on the map: "You keep an eye on the secret camp at home, I will

Let’s take Cheng Shijie, Duan Zhixian and Shi Liancheng on a tour. This time we’re not going to kill them, because there are too many people and it’s useless.”

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 these three people were chosen to follow was because they all had some martial arts background.

In Yang Peng's opinion, if the four of them go out together, although they cannot take the general's head out of a million soldiers, they can kill a bastard and it should be no problem.

At three o'clock in the morning the next day, the four of them had already reached the dense forest near Jinzhai New District. "Change your clothes quickly!" Yang Peng took the small cloth bag on his shoulder and opened it. Inside was a set of black clothes. These were all from the enemy.

The corpses were scraped off and disposed of cleanly, which 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. Anyone who is interested can take a closer look.

The waists of these four men in black clothes were vaguely bulging, and there must be other guys in the black clothes. They entered Jinzhai New District through the west gate in a swaggering manner.

Now it is basically a period of peace, and there are no Khitan inquiries at the city gate. I will not look to the southwest, as that is the place prepared for the bottom ironspots. Yang Peng has already seen almost everything on the map, and turns directly to Yong'an in the northeast.

tower.

What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
