"Submitter?" Xiao Shizhu raised his hand and pushed the chess piece. After taking off the water bag on his waist and throwing it to the ghost captain, his eyes dripping, and he asked curiously: "How did you catch it?"
?”.
As he said that, his expression changed slightly, and a hint of solemn flashed on his face. Then, his expression returned to his dull expression.
Now that the war has just begun, it has not yet reached a white-hot stage. Not only is the two sides still evenly matched, and the Communist Party of China is a local war, and its chances of victory are greater than that of the Xiao family army and the Zhurong army. When the victory and defeat are still unclear, they actually surrendered.
This always makes Xiao Shizhu feel a little weird.
"This demon soul is sneaky and has been wandering around this city. He happened to be caught by the patrol team. He thought he was here to spy on military information? Unexpectedly, he claimed to be a surrender and said there was a way.
Help us find the main force of the Communist Youth Army and destroy them." The ghost captain with a faint disbelief on his face said this in one breath, then pulled out the plug, raised his head and took a big sip of water.
Xiao Shizhu thought for a moment and said thoughtfully: "Take him to see me."
The ghost responded and turned around and left.
When several old men who were playing chess and having fun with Xiao Shizhu saw that he had something to do, they all stood up and said repeatedly: "Your Majesty, you want to do the job, so you guys won't bother you."
If you have a robe, you will bow and say goodbye.
"No, there is no winner yet." Xiao Shizhu shouted, looked at the silver-haired old men, then looked at the endgame on the chessboard, and smiled and said, "This is not a big deal, so you won't delay playing;
Let's continue."
The old men were stunned when they heard this. This was the first time they saw the human souls who had a major military event in front of them without changing their color. Then they looked at each other and showed a look of embarrassment and confusion.
But he couldn't do anything to Xiao Shizhu's retention. After shirking for a while, he finally kept it behind and continued to play chess with him.
After a long time, the ghost captain returned to the place with a team of soldiers.
The soldiers escorted a child like a monkey, but the monkey's face had a sharp beak that was only found in birds. The skin was covered with monkey hair, but hard scales with silver glittering light.
Looking at his limbs, as they were like frogs, there was a layer of webbed between his fingers, and a large turtle shell on his back, which was covered with thin moss.
Xiao Shizhu stood in front of him with a strange look, and because he was a little nervous, he didn't know where to put his hands. He had to rub the demon souls on both sides of his legs with his palms, and after looking up and down for a few times,
I found that this thing was somewhat similar to the water tiger recorded in books on earth, so I opened my mouth and asked: "Water tiger?"
The demon soul didn't say anything, but just lowered his head slightly and quickly lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Xiao Shizhu's eyes.
"Raise your head." Xiao Shizhu said again, then turned his head to look at the chessboard at hand; he paused at the layout of the chess pieces on the chessboard, and after taking a step, he asked calmly:
You said you could find the main force of the Communist Youth Army, bragging, right?" There was a hint of disdain in your tone.
In the past few days, under the leadership of Changqin, Zhurong Army went deep into the central and western parts of Fengmu County and took the initiative to seek fighter opportunities several times, but they encountered either the enemy's guerrilla soldiers, or local armed forces and city guards.
Although he had contact with the main force of Gonggong, he only had a little fight. Before he could take it seriously, the main force of Gonggong escaped southward.
Seeing their fighting and retreating, it seemed to be to attract Zhurong's army to go deeper into the hinterland of the enemy country. Seeing this, Changqin was prepared and did not pursue it anymore. Instead, she chose to follow the original plan and fight steadily little by little.
, erode step by step.
Since then, there has been no news about the main force of Gonggong.
Xiao Shizhu has been sending a scout from the feathers and ordered him to fly high to conduct high-altitude reconnaissance in the enemy territory and search for traces of the enemy's main force. However, after three days, he did not even find a hair from the enemy's main force.
If the main force of the enemy was not eliminated, he would not dare to advance rashly. As a result, a deadlock occurred in this battle.
Therefore, he was always looking for a breakthrough, that is, the main force of the enemy; but when he wanted something, something suddenly came, which made him feel a little worried and he couldn't help but suspect that this demon soul was lying.
"I can." The water tiger demon soul heard this and quickly raised his head and said anxiously. At the same time, he raised his foot and took a step forward.
His voice was not tender, but rather a little low, and it sounded a little similar to the sound of a bullfrog.
Xiao Shizhu turned his head again and met the other party's gaze, but saw that there was nothing else in the water tiger's eyes, except sincerity.
Using his best-in-class observation of his expression and expression, judging from his expression and tone, the demon soul did not lie, but it was contrary to common sense that his sudden surrender was unreasonable. At this moment, it was difficult for Xiao Shizhu to tell the truth about his words.
After pondering for a while, he was still a little hesitant, and just nodded slightly and asked the demon soul: "What's your name?"
"He Yonglin." The water tiger whispered three words.
"Where is the main force of Gonggong now?" Xiao Shizhu slightly turned his head and continued to ask: "Who is the head coach?"
"They are in Yingzhu City, a hundred miles away in the southeast of this city." The Water Tiger Demon Soul took a deep breath and said without hesitation: "The head coach is the Prince Julong of the Communist Party of China."
"Julong?" Xiao Shizhu muttered, his brows frowned slightly, and then slowly unfolded. Although he had never met the prince of the Communist Party of China, he had heard of it at all. It is said that this is someone who has loved it since he was a child.
A boy who studies water conservancy engineering and agriculture has never heard of this man's glorious deeds of leading troops to fight.
I have heard of some deeds that he can calm the soil and soil.
Gonggong is not a stupid ghost, otherwise it would be impossible to notify such a large country; but how could he use such a ghost who has not fought a national war to command troops this time?
This made Xiao Shizhu ponder for a longer time, and the suspicion in his heart became heavier and heavier.
"Why do you want to turn against the water?" He was puzzled and glanced at the water tiger named He Yonglin, and asked simply: "I remember the demon soul of your water tiger clan, who has been loyal to the Gonggong clan for generations,
It sounds bad. You are one of his most loyal slaves. Why do you want to rebel?"
"Gonggong has no righteousness, and julong has no virtue." When Shuhu heard this, he frowned and lamented, with a hint of disappointment on his face, and replied slowly: "At that time, Gonggong clearly agreed to us that as long as the Shuihu tribe members follow the army to fight,
The dead are buried and the injured are raised. Not only has he never done these two points, but he has become more and more exploited us. The taxes are getting heavier every year. Our Water Tiger clan has been relying on fishing for generations to make a living, but he
Each of us family has to pay a tax of five taels of silver a year. This year is even more excessive. He said that he would fight and each family must pay a tax of ten taels."
"Ten taels?" Shui Hu shook his head gently, paused, smiled bitterly, and said slowly: "That's all our income in a year. How can we live after paying all of our income?"
"At this time, the main force of the Communist Youth Army entered Yingzhu City again, which is where we have lived for generations. The army has come, and the soldiers blatantly looted, bullied and other things against my compatriots. The dragon not only did not restrain his subordinates.
, and said arrogantly that this is what we should do. The army is here to protect us. Bullying us is not a big deal. It is even more appropriate to go to our house to greet us.
, it was not considered a robbery at all." At this point, his eyes were filled with sparks of anger, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I can't bear it anymore. After discussing, several old men in our clan decided to rebel. We heard that you, King,
It is a wise king of the generation, so we want to cooperate with you inside and outside, so the elders sent me here." And these words were also flawless, with every word and sentence fluent, without fear from beginning to end.
But because of excitement, he became more and more angry as he spoke, and even his words were trembling slightly. In the end, the whole ghost trembled slightly a few times.
When Xiao Shizhu and Guilu heard this, although his face remained unchanged, the old men who played chess with Xiao Shizhu could no longer listen.
Listening to Shui Hu's words, they remembered the past when they were abandoned. When the other party finished speaking, they had already become excited and cursed: "The father and son have both virtues, and there is no limit on doing things.
Too much! It's simply not worthy of being a ghost."
But Xiao Shizhu was silent and thought about two other things, one was whether the words of this demon soul were credible; the other was based on the information sent by Changqin, the main force of Gonggong fled south.
Now, now it is suddenly in the southeast not far from here. How did the other party do it?
He slowly stood up, walked around the water tiger slowly, stood opposite the other side, and asked word by word: "How many soldiers and horses do Gonggong's main army have? What are the equipment?
”.
"About 100,000 infantry soldiers are stationed by Zhuying Stream south of Yingzhu City, with 100,000 naval troops and about 200 warships, stationed on Qianxing Lake outside Yingzhu City." This time he did not resign
The answer was like a stream, but after a little thought and recalling, he slowly spoke: "In addition, Julong also stationed in the city with 70,000 to 80,000 Xiang army and 30,000 personal soldiers composed of the Gonggong clan."
[Shuihu is also called Kappa. It is definitely not original in Japan. It originated from the upper reaches of the Yellow River Basin in China. According to the records of Compendium of Materia Medica, the water tiger is a monster living in the rivers in Hubei. It looks similar to a child of three or four years old, but
The body is covered with hard scales that cannot be penetrated by even bows and arrows. Usually, the whole body dives into the water, revealing only the knees that look like tiger claws on the water.]
[Xiang Army - This is not a specialty of A San. "Lüshi Chunqiu" records: Merchants used elephants to abuse Dongyi... Therefore, this kind of ancient military force like land tanks was also available in ancient my country.]
