Chapter 221 Distardation
The Xiangzhou Military Mansion has never been as peaceful as today. People who didn't know the inside story thought that the whole military government had pulled out of the camp and went out, and a large camp was silent.
Because everyone is hiding in the barracks and struggling to recite the military rules.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, there was a lot of laughter.
"General, I'm really going to die today!" A hundred-rider guard said, "The thief's head of Feng Scar was cut by his own hands. But seeing the white knife flashed red, a dog's head fell to the ground like this. I just finished cutting it, and I regret it again. How can you knock out the thief and then behead him? It's so cheap for him. At least before cutting his dog's head, he should scare him half of his life!"
Everyone laughed together.
Another person said, "I really raised my eyebrows today!"
"Let's not talk about raising your eyebrows and exhaling. It should be a bad breath." Another person answered, "We have a hundred horses, and we can't be arrogant in front of a few local soldiers. It's just that these people who sit in the well and watch the sky look down on us too much!"
"That's right, that's right!"
The bodyguards talked loudly and the discussion was lively.
They are quite excited about the establishment of the school field today.
Qin Mubai sat on the handsome chair, slowly tasting a cup of tea, watching the brothers talking and laughing happily, and smiling.
Pang Fei stood beside him, smiled for a while and said, "Teacher, now we have changed seats with Du Chengyuan."
"What do you say?" Qin Mubai asked.
"Before, it was the enemy, Du Chengyuan and others were waiting for us to make a move, and they responded passively." Pang Fei said, "Now it's the enemy's secret. I don't know how they will retaliate against us next. With Du Chengyuan's character, his brother-in-law was beheaded in public. He would never give up such a thing.
"Yes, you are getting more and more stable and more mature." Qin Mubai nodded and praised, and said with a smile, "So, it's not the time to be happy, because our competition has just begun. The head of Feng's scar is not enough to completely suppress Du Chengyuan's group of people. The hundred-legged insect dies but is not stiff. It's not so easy for him to comply. Just imagine, he has also been rampant in the military mansion for some years. How can he be willing to become a foil echo worm overnight? You're right. This is not Du Chengyuan's character, otherwise he would not have squeezed out several lieutenants one after another.
"So what should we do next?" Pang Fei asked. After saying that, he greeted the hundred riders again. Everyone calmed down and quietly listened to Qin Mubai's words.
Qin Mubai stood up and said, "For a long time, strong dragons do not suppress the ground snakes. The reason is that the earth-headed snake has a deep foundation in the mainland. One is very well-connected, and the other is that it has been operating for many years. The cunning rabbit three caves are very deep, and it is difficult for outsiders to figure out the other party's way for a while. But we are not ordinary strong dragons. We have overwhelming strength, so we used a strong wind to kill them off guard. The death of Feng Scar is not only a sign of war. Next, Du Chengyuan will definitely be angry and desperate to confront and entangle with us. Therefore, brothers... the real contest has just begun. Everyone must be energetic, and don't be slack or complacent!"
"Follow the general's instructions!" Everyone agreed together.
Qin Mubai nodded and said, "As Pang Fei said, it's the enemy now. We don't know when and where Du Chengyuan and others will make a tough move again. Therefore, in addition to being more vigilant and vigilant, we must also firmly grasp each other's movements. The strongest dragon wants to suppress the ground snake. One of the most direct and fastest ways is to strive for one or two useful core figures from the other camp.
Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up and nodded with deep understanding: "General Gao Lu!"
"It's just that it's easier said than done!" Pang Fei said, "In addition to our group, most of the generals in Xiangzhou's military mansion are locals in Xiangzhou. They know each other from the bottom of each other and have inextricable connections with each other. It's not impossible to divide the other party, but this person is too difficult to choose.
"General, there is something I want to report, which may be useful to the general." A hundred riders arched his hand.
"Tell me."
"Yes." The Baiqi answered and said, "Just after we grabbed Feng Scar from the left camp last night, Du Chengyuan slapped Zhao Chong's ear in front of more than a hundred sailors. He also scolded him for eating inside and outside, saying that he turned to the general, and it was he who helped you betray and deal with Feng Scar.
"Huh? Is there anything like this?" Qin Mubai frowned and his eyes lit up. "Can you speak in more detail? Is the source reliable?
"Absolutely reliable, more than 100 people present saw it with their own eyes. When I got up early this morning and went to the fire room to get breakfast for the general and his brothers, I overheard what the firemen said. The hundred-rider said, "I tried to talk about it, and the firemen in the fire room told me the whole story."
After saying that, the pawn told the story to everyone in detail.
Qin Mubai meditated for a moment and nodded and said, "Yes, this news is useful. Originally, Du Chengyuan was a little suspicious of Zhao Chong. Now that Feng's scar has been cut off, he can't help but be angry with Zhao Chong. Zhao Chong's life must be difficult. When I talked to Zhao Chong in the inn and wanted to trap him, his mouth was extremely tight, but I knew that he was definitely an insider. This person is very necessary and has the potential to succeed. But... we need to act in a play. The last fake play is real, the real play is fake - the alienation plan!"
"The alienation meter?" Everyone was surprised and said with one voice, "What is the method of alienation?"
It's easy to say. Brothers, listen to me in detail. This matter is top secret, and must not be disclosed..." Qin Mubai asked everyone to gather their heads together and teach it confidentially.
Everyone laughed and nodded and praised, "What a wonderful plan!"
At lunchtime.
The soldiers of the whole battalion were eating like a market, shrinking into the barracks and reading the rules of the army. Many people are illiterate, so they can only ask their literate colleagues to read for themselves. Therefore, the whole barracks was noisy and full of different tones of reading, which made people think that they had mistakenly entered the school.
Zhao Chong took a small piece of military order in his hand, went to the dining table of the fire room and sat down, and patted the table angrily: "Fire! Get me two small dishes and warm two pots of wine!"
As a lieutenant, I still have the power to eat small stoves. But Zhao Chong is obviously in a bad mood today and wants to drink to drown his sorrows. A Huotoujun saw that the situation was wrong. Without saying a word, he hurriedly brought him a plate of fried dried fish, a pickled pickled vegetables, and two pots of wine soaked in a hot urn.
"General, take your time!"
"Get out of here!" Zhao Chong waved his hand angrily, waved the wine pot and poured it into his mouth. Most of it was poured out directly, half into the mouth and half wet on the chest, and it was wet.
"Dog | Mother of a bitch! What is it!!!" He stopped the wine pot heavily on the table, and Zhao Chong opened his mouth and scolded.
"Yo, Lieutenant Zhao is so angry. Who is this scolding?" Suddenly, a voice came from the side, which shocked Zhao Chong. Turning around, it turned out to be Pang Fei. He was so scared that he sat up and hurriedly bowed his hand and saluted: "General Pang forgives me. The last general didn't scold anyone. He was just depressed and talked to vent!"
"It's okay. Sit down." Pang Fei pouted at him with a smile. It turned out that he also carried two dishes in his hand, and he dared to come to eat the small stove.
"Oh, the food in Xiangzhou Military Mansion is not good!" Pang Fei shook his head and sat beside Zhao Chong with a sigh and scolded, "It's okay if there is no mutton or good wine. I thought that there would be good fish to eat in Shangzhou in the port. I didn't think that the fish in the military mansion was not fresh, and it was full of fried dried fish, chewing like a tree root in my mouth. There is not even a good dish to go with wine. It's really boring!"
Zhao Chong laughed and said, "It really made General Pang laugh. After all, it's a local military government. It's not comparable to the royal rate. That food must be much worse. In fact, it's good to have fried dried fish. When the military expenditure is tight, I have to eat coarse steamed buns and porridge for several months. If you want to have a dental sacrifice, you have to take a leave and go to the city.
"Come on, cheers." Pang Fei rudely picked up another pot of wine from Zhao Chong, touched him, and said with a smile, "It's okay to drink at noon. General Qin must have taken a nap and can't catch us. Drink it!"
"Okay, General Pang is so honored that the last general will definitely accompany him." Zhao Chong took the wine pot and drank with him.
"Oh, this wine... It's really sour! It's not wine, it's obviously vinegar!" Pang Fei took a sip and kept poohing.
"Haha, General Pang, you can just do it!" Zhao Chong laughed.
"I've been in the barracks for several days, and the greedy worms in my stomach are screaming together." Pang Fei touched his stomach with a bitter face and hummed, "Zhao Chong, tell me, is there any good restaurant in Xiangyang City with good food? Take me to eat it?"
"This..." Zhao Chong looked embarrassed for a moment.
"What's the matter? Are you afraid that I will let you spend money?" Pang Fei smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's my treat. You are only responsible for leading the way!"
"No, no..." Zhao Chong quickly waved his hand and said hesitantly, "It's just that General Qin has just issued a strict order. Anyone should abide by the military order and must not leave the camp without permission!" In addition, I'm going to take the military rules of the school in three days. I haven't memorized it yet. If I don't go, I can't go!"
"Oh, that's it..." Pang Fei's eyes turned around and smiled, "I'm here. What are you panicking about? I am responsible for the military order random examination. General Qin takes care of thousands of opportunities every day. How can he really supervise it in person? If you want to pass, isn't it a matter of my words? Besides... At least I'm a lieutenant. It's no problem to approve a leave, haha! That's it. Tomorrow, go out with me for a happy day!"
After saying that, Pang Fei got up and left. He casually took a pot of wine from Zhao Chong. He laughed and said, "Although it's sour wine, it's better than nothing!"
"Wait, wait! General Pang--" Zhao Chong called behind with a bitter face, but Pang Fei went away.
"What does this mean?!" Looking at Pang Fei's background, Zhao Chong frowned tightly and looked a little grim.
After Pang Fei returned the account, he told Qin Mubai what had happened.
Qin Mubai smiled after listening to it: "Well done. It seems that you have a little talent for singing on the stage. That's it, inadvertently and accidentally get close to him. But don't act too close to attract people. Our purpose is only to let Du Chengyuan know these small scenes and mistakenly think that Zhao Chong is already ours.
"Well, okay." Pang Fei nodded and said with a smile, "Teacher, your strategy is really useful. Du Chengyuan was originally a shrewd, domineering and suspicious person. At that time, no matter how Zhao Chong explains, I'm afraid he can't believe Zhao Chong.
"Yes! If Du Chengyuan is not a shrewd person who likes to think before and after, he will not fall into such a trick. Qin Mubai nodded and smiled, picked up the wine that Pang Fei brought and tasted it. He immediately scolded, "Fuck, is this also wine? You came here on purpose with a bottle of vinegar, didn't you?
"Uh... I just took a sip and vomited..." Pang Fei smiled.
"Then you still get it?" Qin Mubai stared.
"It's not to make Zhao Chong think that I like this..."
In the evening, Qin Mubai asked someone to arrange a Chinese military banquet, which was a formal meeting with the officials and generals in the military government to get to know each other.
Before releasing the news, Qin Mubai deliberately sent someone to call Zhao Chong and talked about military affairs alone in the barracks for a long time. Speaking of which, it is nothing more than a common topic about water ghosts, warships and sailors. Zhao Chong was a little impatient with the chat, but Qin Mubai was like a nagging mother, but she refused to end the conversation and didn't let Zhao Chong go.
It was not until the banquet in front of the army tent in the evening was set up, and other generals arrived together, Qin Mubai said, "Okay, let's talk about this today. Zhao Chong, today is a meeting of the generals. Let's go out to eat and drink together!"
"I will treat myself as my companion." Zhao Chong bowed his hand, and naturally there was no doubt about him.
When he and Qin Mubai walked out of the Chinese military tent, they were a little dumbfounded--
All the officials in the camp are present, and naturally Du Chengyuan is also there. Everyone looked at Qin Mubai and saluted him, and naturally stared at him.
"I, I..." Zhao Chong seemed a little at a loss for a moment. He really wanted to say, "I have nothing to do with him", but he didn't know how to say this. Isn't it getting darker and darker?
Du Chengyuan glanced at Zhao Chong coldly, pretended to turn a blind eye, and greeted Qin Mubai with a smile, as if Qin Mubai was not his enemy, but his best friend.
Qin Mubai also greeted everyone with a smile and politely, and deliberately turned his head and said, "Zhao Chong, find a place to sit down quickly!" Let you stand and talk to me all afternoon. You must have sore legs, haha!"
"I, I... Yes!" Zhao Chong couldn't argue for a hundred days. He really felt like he jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it. I had no choice but to choose a place to sit down. He inadvertently glanced at Du Chengyuan and saw that his eyes were like sharp blades, staring at him with a cold light, and his scalp could not help but feel numb.
"Come on, gentlemen! It's predestined to meet. Isn't it the fate of brothers cultivated in the previous life? In the future, Qin will be supported by you!" Qin Mubai raised a bowl of wine and said, "Please drink this bowl full!"
"General Qin, please!" Everyone returned the salute and raised the bowl to drink together.
Qin Mubai raised the bowl to drink. As soon as the bowl came to his mouth, it suddenly stopped. He immediately spit out a mouthful of wine and scolded, "Fire! What kind of wine is this? It's so sour and bitter!"
The Huotou army waiting next to him stood up in panic and said, "In General Qin's words, this kind of wine has been used in the military mansion for many years."
Everyone laughed and said, "General Qin is used to drinking the royal wine in the palace. Naturally, he can't drink this kind of village sour wine."
"How can I drink this!" Qin Mubai curled his lips and said repeatedly, "Pang Fei, take time to go to Xiangyang City in person. Be sure to order a batch of good wine. Although alcoholism is usually prohibited in the army, alcohol is always used to reward soldiers during the Spring Festival. How can such sour vinegar be used as wine!"
"Yes!" Pang Fei came out to answer the promise, but immediately looked embarrassed, "But the last general came for the first time and was not familiar with Xiangyang City!"
"Then let Zhao Chong be your guide!" Qin Mubai casually ordered.
Zhao Chong was stunned and didn't come to his senses for a long time.
Pang Fei hurriedly reminded him, "Zhao Chong, General Qin is calling you!"
"Ah!" Zhao Chong was stunned and hurriedly jumped up and answered, "The last general is obeyed!"
"Okay, let's have a drink!" Qin Mubai naturally waved his hand casually and said with a smile, "Although drinking water is not good, it is also my intention!" If there is good wine another day, please drink it!"
"General Xie Qin!"
Then, everyone sat down and ate and chatted.
Zhao Chong sat on the couch, his scalp was tight and his heart trembled. He glanced at Du Chengyuan from time to time, and felt that he had been staring at him, and muttered in his heart: I must explain to him for a while. I have nothing to do with them!
The banquet of the Chinese military tent dissipated soon after night. It's just that no one dares to drink and get drunk.
Just as everyone had been saying goodbye to Qin Mubai and preparing to leave together, Pang Fei hurriedly stopped Zhao Chong: "Hey, Captain Zhao, come here!"
Zhao Chong complained in his heart, but he had to walk over and hugged his fists and said, "What's the instruction of General Pang?"
"Haha! Did you hear that? General Qin personally gave us leave and asked us to go to Xiangyang City to buy wine!" Pang Fei rubbed his hands with a smile on his face, "Why don't we go now?" Go at night and come back tomorrow morning without delaying anything. Are you free... Shall we go together to relieve the punishment in the evening?
"Ah? Haha, okay..." Zhao Chong heard the voice of Pang Fei's words. Men, come together to "elimise punishment" together, which is nothing more than shopping in the kiln. He was obviously a friend of Taoism. First, he was happy. He only said half of the word "good", and immediately shook his head with an embarrassed face, "It's not appropriate!" If you go out to camp, you have to eat military law!"
"It's okay. We didn't sneak out! The military order said that the prostitutes who went out of the camp "privately" were punished. Why don't we go out to do business, haha!" Pang Fei couldn't help but put Zhao Chong's shoulder, patted his chest a few times, and sneered, "Money, don't worry. I'll treat you today. Thank you for showing me the way. Let's say it first. You have to lead the way. If the girl is not beautiful or can't buy good wine, I won't forgive you..."
"Wait, General Pang, this..."
"What else do you want? You are a big man, are you afraid of what I will do to you? Let's go, right now! Time is precious, and the Spring Festival is worth a lot of money, haha!!"
"Okay...hey!"
Qin Mubai was in the handsome tent, listening to the scene of hundreds of cavalry soldiers repaying Pang Fei, and laughing happily.
"This dead boy is full of bad water. He really has a good way to do this kind of thing." Qin Mubai shook his head and smiled, "It's miserable for Zhao Chong, and he doesn't even have a chance to explain to Du Chengyuan at all. Tomorrow, I will personally add firewood to Zhao Chong, and it will not be difficult to make the fact that he has defected to me.
"The general is really a trick!" The rewarding Baiqi general smiled and said, " By the way, the marching captain Shi Shen Youzhou seems to be extremely afraid of the general. Can he use it to pull in?"
"I don't need it for the time being." Qin Mubai said, "Unsurprisingly, he is also a dispensable waste in Du Chengyuan's camp and doesn't know much useful things. Otherwise, Du Chengyuan will not kick him out as a dead sheep. Think about it carefully, which two are the most important parts of the whole military government?
The hundred-rider soldier thought carefully for a while and said, "Of course, it is the Zuoying Bailang Water Army, who deals directly with the water ghost, and the mercenaries and elite Yueqi team sitting in the town!"
"You got it right." Qin Mubai nodded with a smile, "Zhao Chong is the commander of the navy, so who's next?"
"Haha, I'm going to call the Yueqi team!"
"Smart, go quickly!"
After the bodyguard left, Qin Mubai put his legs on the table comfortably and said to himself with a smile, "You have no chance of winning if you play hard, and I'm not afraid of you if you play with yin. Du Chengyuan, Du Chengyuan, you must hold on. Don't lose so quickly, or it won't be fun. Also, you'd better use some powerful means to let me take over quickly, otherwise I will really be disappointed!"
