Chapter 260 Chapter Seven

Bai Wenyuan spread out a stack of maps drawn on cloth on the temporary wooden table next to the commander's tent, Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling and Xuan Yong all looked down at the same time. Xuanyong pointed to a large mountain range slanting across the map and said: "This is Dahong Mountain. Even the mountain roads are clearly listed. This is the first time I have seen such a detailed map." Kou Zhong had a sharp eye, and read a line of small characters in the corner of the map: "Bai Wenyuan respects the system, ha, it turns out that Brother Bai is a master at drawing maps, so I'm sorry."

Bai Wenyuan humbly said: "It's just a family tradition, what is it?" Xu Ziling sighed in admiration: "Brother Bai's pen must be harder than ordinary nibs, otherwise how could he draw such delicate lines, and there are many colors, which are beautiful and pleasing to the eye." Kou Zhong patted the table and said: "The most powerful thing is that it will not fade, the paint must be specially made." Bai Wenyuan saw that his hand-painted maps were so appreciated and valued, he was in a better mood, and said happily: "My ancestors in the next generation are all geologists, studying Fengshui and the five elements, so I went out with my father to observe the mountains and rivers since I was young, and drew them as Remember, I just thought it would be used for military purposes in the future.”

Xuan Yongdao: "From here to the Pegasus Ranch, there are at least a hundred routes, and we have Brother Bai who is familiar with the situation in the mountains and rivers to lead the way, so why should we be afraid of him?" Bai Wenyuan smiled wryly and said: "Because there are Dahong Mountain and several big rivers blocking the east and west, so in fact there are only five routes in the mountain and two routes to the south and north of Dahong Mountain. The worst thing is that the location of the sentry is designed by the next, no matter how hidden Xingzang can't escape the other party's eyes and ears. Alas, it's all my fault!"

Kou Zhong proudly said: "If we don't go to the Pegasus Ranch, but go straight to Yiling, so what?" Bai Wenyuan said dejectedly: "That would be even worse. Xiao Xian once told Dong Jingzhen that from the battle between the two of them and Li Mi, he saw that the two of them are good at using surprise soldiers, so it is very likely that they will attack Yiling by surprise, so they must be prepared. And The only way to get to Yiling is through the Yangtze River, and it will be easier to expose the travel and Tibet." Xu Ziling said: "Brother Bai, do you know the route An Long and Zhu Mei took back to Hannei?"

Bai Wenyuan was both white and cold, and said coldly: "If you take the Yangtze River, then you won't be afraid of being caught up by Fu Gongyou." Kou Zhong cheered up and said, "How many boats do they have?" Bai Wenyuan said: "It is a fleet of ten wine ships. We sneaked here disguised as porters carrying wine. The fleet should remain at a ferry in the west of Tong'an, pretending to be a shipment of wine. The raw material is actually waiting for Anlong." Kou Zhong laughed and said: "This is God helping me, now we must hurry on the road at full speed, we must take ten wine ships as our own before An Long and the poisonous woman arrive, then we will be able to use the old plan secretly. keep going."

Xuan Yong promised to inform the other generals. Bai Wenyuan said excitedly: "Young Marshal, please be fair to Wen Yuanren." Kou Zhong put his arms around his shoulders and said: "Brother Bai, don't worry, I'm afraid you will be hard to let go of Jiuqian." Bai Wenyuan let out a "bah" and snorted coldly: "Even if this poisonous woman's corpse is broken into thousands of pieces, I will never frown." Xu Ziling said: "It's easy to kill Zhu Mei, but An Long's martial arts are no small feat. If he slips through the net, it may ruin a big deal."

Kou Zhong nodded and said: "So we must make a plan before we move, and set up a big net to teach An Long that there is nowhere to escape." Bai Wenyuan said silently, shaking his head and chasing after him: "It's my fault, there is no reason for you to take risks for me, and I am not worth taking this risk for this bitch. After we snatched the boat, we went west immediately. Gentlemen take revenge, and ten years have passed. It's late. Let An Long and that bitch go to nothing, while Fu Gongyou's pursuers will make me very happy." Kou Zhong smiled and said: "Okay! In short, I, Kou Zhong, promise to take revenge on Brother Bai. How is Brother Bai, we still need you to lead the way!"

At this time, his subordinates brought a healthy horse, and Bai Wenyuan flew on the horse and said with a smile: "As long as I think of that concubine, I will be full of energy. Please don't worry, both of you." Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, Xuan Yong, and Bai Wenyuan jumped off their horses and skimmed up to the top of the slope. Under the radiance of the stars and the moon, there were seven medium-sized sailboats anchored by the ferry. dim. Kou Zhongdao: "Thank God, Brother Bai is an expert in geography, so we can be ahead of that pair of dogs, but why are there seven ships instead of ten?"

Bai Wenyuan shook his head and said, "I don't know about this either, or those three ships have other missions!" Xu Ziling said: "Who is guarding the boat?" Bai Wenyuan said: "They are all Anlong's subordinates, we must kill them all, so as not to leak the news." When Kou Zhong saw Xu Ziling's eyebrows frowned immediately, he hurriedly said, "That's too cruel, as long as we capture them all alive and release them on a deserted river bank, it will be difficult for them to spread the news, only carrier pigeons can do it." Faster than us."

Bai Wenyuan said in astonishment: "Young Marshal's style of work is completely different from that of Zhu Can's father and daughter, alas!" Xuan Yong comforted him and said: "The past is gone, the most important thing is to look to the future." Turning to Kou Zhongdao: "My subordinates have led people to attack the enemy ships that are on the shore many times in the Yellow River. The young commander only needs to set the attack time and ensure that everything is in order." Beat the slow with the fast, beat the unprepared with the prepared, happy, happy!"

Xu Ziling came back like a ghost, and before Kou Zhong and others who were hiding behind piles of rocks on the bank, he said: "The defense on board is very common, and each ship has more than ten sailors. As long as we move fast enough, we can guarantee that we can catch them all in one go." capture." Kou Zhong gestured for action to Xuan Yong beside him, the latter immediately uttered the cry of a night owl, and the seven groups of seven hundred people lying on the bank responded by submerging into the water, and moved towards the seven sailing boats silently. swim. Xuan Yong sent a signal to Bai Wenyuan, and after hearing the news, Bai Wenyuan led a cavalry team of more than 400 people, galloped out from the mountain road, and headed towards the ferry with a strong lineup. The dense sound of hooves shattered the silence of the river bank in the middle of the night, completely covering up the sound of the river flowing.The sailboats on the shore were lit up, and the figures flickered, and all the attention was focused on Bai Wenyuan and his disguised subordinates. Bai Wenyuan rode out in a row and shouted: "Call everyone together and prepare to sail." Someone on the boat responded, "Everyone is waiting on the boat! Where's the big boss?" Bai Wenyuan shouted: "The big boss is coming soon, but there will be Jianghuai chasing after him, let us get on board quickly." When the people on the boat heard that there were pursuers, they immediately panicked. Kou Zhong leaned into Xu Ziling's ear and said, "It's a success! It's our turn." "Heck! Heck!" Kou Shen pushed the door open and entered, and said to Xu Ziling who sat up from the bed: "Wake up!" Xu Ziling said angrily, "I'll wake you up even if you're noisy." Kou Zhong sat on the edge of the bed, stretched his waist exaggeratedly, and said: "I also fell unconscious, look! At least it's four poles in the sun!" Xu Ziling deeply felt the same way: "I only now understand what is meant by laboring on an expedition. It is not done by a wise man. The two of us are already famous for fighting each other, but when we got out of bed last night, it still looked like all the bones in our body were falling apart." Kou Zhong looked out of the cabin window at the bright sunshine shining on the earth, and said: "It's a bit of luck this time, to meet Bai Wenyuan, otherwise it's no different from throwing yourself into a trap. Now we are pretending to be An Long's fleet to transport wine, and there are Bai Wenyuan, the real Jialou Luoguo general, came forward to take care of it, do you think there are still loopholes?" Xu Ziling pondered: "When An Long and Zhu Mei rushed to the ferry and found that all seven boats had disappeared, what would they think?" Kou Zhong said with a smile: "Of course it's a wild idea, but he will never find half of the hoofprints on the ground, because we have swept them away, so he will never think of Bai Wenyuan and us. He will only think it is a Jianghuai military ship. The ships came and captured his men and ships, or scared his wine boats away." Xu Ziling asked, "Where did the other three boats go?" Kou Zhongdao: "It's nothing, I just went to Jiangdu to do business under Anlong's order. It turns out that Anlong's wine boats have always been taken care of by the Dajianghui. It's the so-called 'Snake Dog Two Stupid' Pei Yue and Pei Yan." "Dragon and Tiger Two Monarchs", but he called him "Snake and Dog Two Stupid". Xu Ziling looked away from the couch, moved to the cabin window to stretch his limbs, looked at the charming mountains and forests on the river bank under the sunlight, and said, "Where is the next stop?" Kou Zhongdao: "Tonight we can reach Xiaoxian's Jiujiang County. As long as we pass this pass, our army will go deep into the enemy's territory. Now I have changed my mind and want to defeat the coalition army led by Dong Jingzhen in one fell swoop. What does Ling Shao do? Opinion?" Xu Ziling agreed: "That should be the case. Should we notify the host of Beauty, so that we can cooperate with her." Kou Zhong shook his head and said: "According to Bai Wenyuan, although they failed to capture Changyang and Yuan'an, they have already surrounded the two cities impenetrably, and the Pegasus Ranch is also under strict surveillance. We must not startle the snakes." Then he stood up, came behind Xu Ziling, and said: "You said that Shi Feixuan went to Hefei, should it have something to do with the demon girl?" Xu Ziling said: "Of course, their competition has changed from a war of swords to a competition for the world. Shi Feixuan is seeking happiness for all people, while the Yingui faction wants to expand its power. As long as the future emperor is Cihang Jingzhai will have no place for the people controlled by the Yingui sect, that would be more cost-effective than defeating Shi Feixuan." Kou Zhong said with emotion: "This deduction is very reasonable. Among the heroes, there must be a person from the Yingui sect, and that person will deny the old man." Xu Ziling pondered and said: "Father is by no means like a member of the Yingui sect, but Xiao Xian is more like him, but if Xiao Xian is really a demon of the Yingui sect, he would not help us assassinate Ren Shaoming. In other words, it should be Lin Shihong most suspect." Kou Zhong sat comfortably in the chair next to the cabin window, and said happily: "If it is really Lin Shihong, then the Yingui faction is waiting to be defeated. No matter what counts, it will not be Lin Shihong's turn now, unless he can annex Xiao Xian in a short time. and the Song family, otherwise we can only wait for it to appear to be destroyed." Xu Ziling said: "Don't underestimate anyone. Although Lin Shihong is located in the south, he has the advantage of Poyang Lake. At present, the Song family and Xiao Xian have nothing to do with him. That's why the Yingui faction suppressed their hatred and allowed us to make troubles and make troubles." , the more chaos the better. When Xiao Xian crossed the river north, Lin Shihong could expand his affairs, and this must not be ignored." Kou Zhong clapped the case and said: "That makes sense! Or maybe Lin Shihong has nothing to do with the Yingui sect at all, the real monsters could be Liu Wuzhou, Liang Shidu, Dou Jiande, or even Li Zitong, Zhu Can, Cao Yinglong, ha. This guessing game is really interesting. " Xu Ziling sat in another chair, and said with a smile, "As long as we accomplish one thing, regardless of who is the demon of the Yingui sect, we will definitely hit the Yingui sect's plan to plot the world hard." Kou Zhong lifted his spirits and said, "What's the matter?" Xu Ziling said calmly: "It is to capture Xiangyang and drive away Qian Duguan and Bai Qing'er." Kou Zhong's eyes lit up, he nodded and said, "Well said! That's the most important stronghold of the Yingui faction in the Central Plains. When I capture Jingling, it will be the harbinger of Qianduguan's defeat. Even the king of heaven and I can't stop it." I am Kou Zhong." In the gloomy night, the seven sails slowly sailed into the waters of Jiujiang. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling put on their masks and stood behind Bai Wenyuan, ready to deal with any sudden change. There was a strange feeling in the hearts of the two of them. It was in this big city on the south bank of the Yangtze River that they successfully assassinated Ren Shaoming in a narrow escape, destroyed the conspiracy of the Tiele people and the Yin Gui faction, reversed the situation in the south, and made them famous all over the world. Jiujiang changed hands several times, and finally fell into the hands of Xiao Xian, forcing Lin Shihong to stay in Poyang. A small boat of the Baling army sailed towards them. Bai Wenyuan had no problem negotiating with the captain of the boarding boat. When everyone relaxed, a warship sailed straight out of the pier and headed towards them. Bai Wenyuan asked in surprise, "What's the matter?" The army leader said blankly: "It's General Chen Wu's ship, I don't know what it is, maybe I want to talk to General Bai!" Everyone secretly shouted that it was not good, so they had to wait.If it is seen through, all previous efforts will be wasted, and killing a few people will not help. The scalp was numb, and the enemy ship approached slowly. A general led four or five followers, jumped over the ship, laughed and said, "Hi, General Bai, why don't you see Princess Mei?" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Bai Wenyuan went up to greet him and saluted: "General Chen, don't blame the young general for not being able to pass through the door. Because time is tight, we must rush back immediately. Princess Mei is staying in Hefei for business, so she will arrive two days later." Chen Wu nodded and said: "Of course, this time on the ship to visit, there is really something I want to ask." Bai Wenyuan laughed and said: "General Chen, you are welcome, as long as the young general can do what he can, he will take care of it for the general." Chen Wudao: "For General Bai, this is just a matter of little effort. The day before yesterday we intercepted a boat from the Pegasus Ranch on the river, killed more than ten people on the spot, but one of them escaped, and it was only captured at dusk today. I wanted to torture him, but I heard that the general was coming. Can you do me a favor and send this man to Dong Shuai, this man is quite good at martial arts, he should have some status in the Pegasus Ranch, and he met Kou Xu and those two little thieves again It will be of great use to Dong Shuai if we meet." Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were both sad and happy when they heard it, they were sad because Fei Ma Muyang's brother was killed, but they were happy because they rescued Luo Fang's boy without bloodshed. Of course, Bai Wenyuan couldn't agree. Chen Wu shouted: "Bring me here!" The boat leaves Jiujiang. The mentally exhausted Luo Fang was bare-chested, had multiple wounds cleaned and bandaged for him, and while drinking hot tea, he said in disbelief, "I thought everything was over, but unexpectedly meeting you was like a dream. " Kou Zhong said fiercely: "This is a trap. They deliberately let you go to ask us for help, but they attacked you on the way back. Fortunately, God has eyes and let us run into it." Xuan Yongdao: "The victory or defeat now depends on who can be quicker. We have no other choice but to go ashore at the most favorable place, and then rush to attack Dong Jingzhen by surprise. The enemy panicked and launched a massive counterattack, and the battle was resolved quickly." All eyes fell on Bai Wenyuan. Bai Youyuan said confidently: "Three days later, we will turn to Jushui and land at Chunfengdu, ten miles away from Dangnanyang. I am sure that I will be able to pass through all the passes and cover up to Dongjing Zhenzang's Chunfeng Hill, waiting for me to control it." After the map is completed, I can discuss with you how to make Dong Jingzhen suffer a big defeat." Kou Zhong said happily: "We need to use these three days to recharge our batteries, and then we will not be tired soldiers, but a vigorous expeditionary soldier!" Everyone agreed with a bang, and their morale was extremely high.
