Zhu Hansan was dumbfounded when he heard this. He stared at Guo Daxian in disbelief. After a long while, he joked with disbelief: "With your figure, I believe you will float when you go into the water. I believe you can dive."
Three hundred feet? Even if I believe this, do you believe it yourself?"
"Sir, what I said is true. I was born in a fishing village. I have learned water skills since I was a child. I can hold my breath in the water for a long time. If you don't believe me, I can take you there.
"Yan Liang, Guan Hai, Dian Wei, among you three, who knows the nature of water?"
Zhu Hansan didn't believe what Guo Daxian said, so he turned to the three generals beside him and asked.
"Reporting to my lord, if I just swim in the water, I can still swim a few hundred feet, but if I hold my breath and swim underwater, I can swim a maximum of more than ten feet!"
Guan Hai was born in a rural area and loved to play in the river when he was a child. Although his skills in water were rare and ordinary, they were not comparable to ordinary people. When he heard Zhu Hansan asked, he shook his head and said that he did not have that ability.
"My situation is similar to that of Brother Guan. Maybe I can't swim as far as him."
Yan Liang's skills are all on horses, and he can fight on land with ease, but when it comes to water, he still knows himself, and said on the spot that he is not as good as Guan Hai.
In fact, he also wanted to brag, but he was also afraid that Zhu Hansan would let him go directly into the battle, which would cause little embarrassment, and he might even die in the water if he was not careful.
"I can't swim, let alone swimming. As soon as I sit on the boat, I will feel nervous, dizzy, and extremely nauseous. Let alone fighting, it is difficult to stay awake."
Seeing everyone looking at him, Dian Wei's honest face turned pale in a rare way. He shook his head like a rattle, and his palms like cattail fans kept swaying.
Zhu Hansan smiled slightly when he saw this, and thought to himself, God is really fair to everyone. Dian Wei Lu Zhan Wushuang, but he is a landlubber. His expression changes at the mention of water. This shows that he must have eaten something like this before.
deficit.
"Brothers, if you can swim, raise your hands?"
Zhu Hansan glanced at the surrounding soldiers and asked loudly.
‘Brush, brush, brush…’
In a team of hundreds of people, more than half raised their hands.
"If you can hold your breath in the water for half a stick of incense, keep raising your hands. If you can't, just put your hands down."
This time everyone lowered their hands and held their breath for fifteen minutes. This was not something ordinary people could do. Who could hold their breath without special training or talent.
Holding your breath in water and holding your breath in daily situations are two different things. In daily situations, you just need to hold your breath, and there is almost no need to consider other external factors. But holding your breath in water is not necessary. Once you get into the water, your ears,
Water will enter the nose, and even the eyes will be affected by being open underwater. If the water is deeper, the pressure, temperature or more ferocious fish in the water must also be taken into consideration. These are no joke, in this
In those days, the equipment was not good or there was no diving equipment at all. Only by relying on skills and experience could I dare to swim three hundred feet in the water, a distance of nearly one kilometer, as Guo Daxian said.
Just thinking about this terrifying number, Zhu Hansan shuddered a little, but now that the matter was urgent, he wouldn't be able to make diving equipment for a while. This made Zhu Hansan scratch his head and scratch his head in anxiety, pacing back and forth, thinking about countermeasures.
"Sir, how about you let me go?"
Guo Daxian asked softly.
"Are you going? Are you going alone? Are you going to do the job all by yourself?"
Zhu Hansan rolled his eyes and replied angrily. In fact, he was afraid of letting the tiger go back to the mountain without using Guo Daxian. In his opinion, there was no need to spend too much time dealing with such a small character. His time was precious now, and any delay for one day would be detrimental to the future.
It has an impact on the development of the county.
Therefore, Zhu Hansan only has these few days before the New Year to use. Once the New Year is over, he will have to be busy with other things. At the same time, he has to worry about the bandits who came to Taishan, and at the same time, he is busy with things in the county.
, it is inevitable that mistakes will occur, forget it in normal times, people, mistakes will always occur, this is inevitable, otherwise, he said it again, according to his understanding of Yan Bao, since the two sides have become mortal enemies,
Then this mistake would probably cause disaster to a certain village and kill many people. This was not the result he wanted to see.
"Actually, sir, you don't have to worry about this. I know some people who are very good at water."
Seeing Zhu Hansan in trouble, Guo Daxian quickly stepped forward and whispered.
"Why, don't you want to say they are the group of people who were captured with you?"
Zhu Hansan sneered and said casually.
"It's them. Sir, you really have a sharp eye. They all come from the same village as me, the villain. Although their water quality is not as good as that of the villain, they are much better than ordinary people. They can definitely swim across."
Guo Daxian grinned and flattered Zhu Hansan.
"real?"
Zhu Hansan was half convinced. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Guo Daxian fiercely.
"Every word of a villain is true, and he dare not deceive adults."
Guo Daxian knelt on the ground and explained with a cry and a smile: "The rest of us really didn't kill Wudi indiscriminately, and we never killed any of the common people. Our brothers only killed the rich, and those who killed the common people were all Yan Bao's people.
, The villain is bold enough to recommend them this time, just to make a contribution and not be punished in the future."
"oh?"
Zhu Hansan only believed one-third of Guo Daxian's words, but he had no good idea at this time. He had seen the mountain and found it to be extremely steep and dangerous. If he attacked by force, the hundreds of men like him would not be able to do anything.
It's not enough to fill the gaps between people's teeth. Now, maybe you really have to trust Guo Daxian for once.
"Ma Chuang, you send someone to rush to the city immediately and ask Xi Zhicai to bring here all the men of Guo Daxian who we originally captured. Well... ask Zhang Liao to send fifty soldiers to escort them and tell them that if there is one
If they run away, they will all be killed together and beheaded."
After thinking about it, Zhu Hansan decided to use Guo Daxian and others, but just in case, Zhu Hansan asked Zhang Liao to send more manpower.
It is difficult to raise a villain and a woman these days. Who knows if they will run away halfway, and Zhu Hansan is also a little undecided.
In the middle of the night, Guo Daxian's men were also escorted to the foot of Shangtai Mountain.
"Brother, why are you here? I thought you had been..."
A man in the crowd shouted excitedly after seeing Guo Daxian.
"Brother Yu, it's okay!" Guo Daxian walked up to the people and said with a smile: "Thanks to Mr. Zhu, there is a meritorious service in front of our brothers today. If we do it well, not only can we avoid death, but we can also get a reduced sentence."
Zhu Hansan, who was reading Xi Zhicai's letters, couldn't help but rolled his eyes when he heard Guo Daxian's words. However, he did not explain anything, so he acquiesced to Guo Daxian's words.
"Really? What does Mr. Zhu want us to do?"
"Yes, yes, big brother, just say it! Little brother is willing to do it."
"You're not asking us to attack the mountain, right? That's all, we can attack the mountain."
…
Seeing that Zhu Hansan did not refute Guo Daxian's words, these men hurriedly asked questions.
At this time, Zhu Hansan also read the letter Xi Zhicai wrote to him. It turned out that Xi Zhicai also agreed with Zhu Hansan to use these prisoners after learning about it. However, just in case, Xi Zhicai asked Zhu Hansan to threaten him with words first.
They tried to seduce him with money, and in this way, these people would definitely do things for him, Zhu Hansan.
Zhu Hansan trusted Xi Zhicai's words very much and made the decision without even thinking about it.
"Guo Daxian, have you told them everything you want to do?"
When Zhu Hansan came to the front of the crowd, he first glanced around at Guo Daxian's men who were standing with a tangled face, and then asked.
"It's a joke, adults. Only about ten people are willing to follow the villain to break into the dragon's pond and tiger's den."
Guo Daxian looked embarrassed. At noon, he slapped his chest and swore to Zhu Hansan that these people were his cronies. But now he was slapped hard by the cruel reality.
"Actually, the lake is too deep. Not only is it freezing cold inside, but it's also pitch black and you can't see your fingers. Although the water quality is pretty good, there's no guarantee that you can swim across it."
Most of the people who don't want to go are afraid of dying inside, leaving no bones left and suffering the consequences.
"Is this what you all mean?"
Zhu Hansan nodded in agreement after hearing this. In his opinion, it was normal for this group of people to show timidity. Not to mention in ancient times, even in modern times, there were not necessarily a few people who just played like this.
However, there were only about ten people who agreed. Even if they all swam in and actually entered the hinterland of the mountain village, they would still be short of manpower. If there were more people at the bottom of the lake, then Zhu Hansan could only look forward to it and sigh.
, withdrew his troops and returned to the city, headed back home, and came back to deal with Yan Bao when there was time.
Those who did not dare to enter the water lowered their heads and remained silent.
"Okay, I thought you were all good guys who came to Taishan, but now it seems that seeing it is worse than hearing it a hundred times, and not seeing it is worse than not seeing it."
Zhu Hansan sighed: "I originally planned that as long as you assist me in breaking through Huya Village, then all the things that bothered you before, as long as they were not murderers, can be written off. After the incident is completed, you will be free and can go wherever you want.
Well, you can stay in Jing County if you want."
"Sir, do you really mean what you say?"
In the crowd, a man asked with a troubled face and a frustrated heart.
"I will do what I say, it's just a matter of whether you have enough courage to give it a try."
Zhu Hansan stood with his hands behind his back and said with a smile.
"Okay, I'm done."
"I...I did it too."
"Brother Guo, I'll go into the water with you."
…
Zhu Hansan's promise immediately attracted responses from other people. After a while, these more than 40 people agreed to join Guo Daxian. From this, it can be seen that perhaps it is true as Guo Daxian said, this group of people have not killed innocent people before.
.
"Okay, come here, pour some wine for these heroes. After drinking, we will get into the water immediately."
