Chapter 5 Solomon
This person wears golden armor that iron lion soldiers do not have, but this armor is different from the clothing of the imperial army. It can be seen that he found someone to create it himself. He is tall and his facial features are not prominent, but if he frowns, his forehead will be faintly condensed into the word "king". And his momentum, like the appearance of a weak scholar like Serum Wind, just formed two extremes, just like a tiger going down the mountain.
Su Yong was stunned, but Xiao Changfeng beside him had greeted him with a big smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time, General Yang."
This person is naturally Yang Yihu, who is one of the four heroes of Yanlong. The weapon in his hand is a striped iron bar. It is said that he has the power to open the monument and crack the stone, and is an authentic "tiger general".
Yang Yihu greeted Xiao Changfeng with a smile and looked at Su Yong. He turned his eyes and said with a smile, "I didn't expect General Su to be so young that he was younger than Chu Nantian... What a hero. Ha ha, back to the point, General Su just said that there are two reasons, but one has not been heard yet.
Su Yong smiled, and his first impression of this rich man was good. He added with a smile, "In addition to a sea base to replenish grain and fresh water, the other party has come thousands of miles away. If you only rely on the topographic map and the defensive zimuth map of officers and soldiers obtained in the past, it is impossible to understand the dynamics of the bloodline after the garrison, and it is impossible to bypass the Iron Lion Army and escape repeatedly everywhere..."
The serum wind and Yang Yihu looked at each other, and their faces were not very good-looking: "You mean, there are traitors among us?" The generals in the camp also became tense because of this sentence. Although they know that they are all iron-blooded soldiers who have been fighting for years, they have only come to the southern line for two or three years. Some of them are not even familiar with local locations. How can they be connected with Japanese pirates?
Su Yong saw a misunderstanding and had to smile bitterly, "No. The generals in the army are extremely alert. If the spies are hidden in the army, they can more or less see some traces for others... When I say spies, I mean the spy work in the people. This kind of detailed work may be the Japanese pirates themselves, but they have been here for many years and are familiar with the local language. In addition, the appearance of the Japanese pirates is different from that of the Yanmeng people. There is no obvious difference from our appearance, and it is easy to hide.
"But it may also be the work of us Yanlong people. The Japanese pirates are very scheme. They may use heavy profits to buy some local forces and individuals as their eyeliner. These people don't need to join the army. They just need to walk around in Leizhou City. The deployment system of the Iron Lion Army naturally falls into their eyes and ears. Then they tell the Japanese pirates of this information through some special channels, and it is not difficult for them to rely on patrol everywhere.
On a flat peninsula like Leizhou, where a large group of troops walk on it, it is indeed clear at a glance. As long as someone pays careful attention for a few days, I'm afraid they will find out the patrol rules of the army. Then tell the Japanese pirates that the Japanese pirates can naturally use the time difference to avoid the waves of officers and soldiers everywhere.
Yang Yihu slapped his hands and said fiercely, "That's what his grandmother is. No wonder every time he sent troops, the Japanese fled early as if he had already figured it out. And every time we just left, the Japanese pirates knew that the prophet appeared immediately. It turned out that someone reported the news. If you catch this man for me, you must tear off his skin to see if he is a Yanlong man.
However, the local people are deeply affected by the Japanese pirates. Although they may be psychologically afraid, after all, they are backed by the mainland, and there are joint defenses by officers and soldiers, so they will not be willing to degenerate here. Therefore, everyone thought that except for the few bold people, it was estimated that most of them were the seeds planted by the Japanese pirates early in the morning.
After discussion for a while, the serum wind called the clerk and ordered, "You go and tell the local government and secretly investigate two kinds of people: First, the outsider who moved here not long ago must find out where his previous hometown is. If necessary, he has to order people to go to his hometown to ask if it is true; the other is to investigate. There have been no upstarts in Leizhou over the years, that is, those whose income is disproportionate to their work or business income in recent years. These should be sorted out with the list and relevant information, but don't alarm them.
The clerk was waiting for the order to leave when Su Yong suddenly said, "In addition, please help me secretly check the information of a gang named Solomon. It's better to know where they usually meet and what kind of rituals they have."
Yang Yihu frowned and said, "I've heard of this Solomon. It is rumored that the headquarters is in the south of the Yangtze River, or only the believers have spread to Leizhou in these years. But they have never been evil with the government, and even often have good deeds of fundraising for the people. How could General Su doubt them?
Most people don't know the truth about the spiritual crow in Beijing. At that time, in order to prevent the spread of news, the relevant officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice made a Wenqu star to go down to the earth and the reincarnation of the god of war. Heaven specially sent Taoists to perform a cheer-up program and so on. And most of the people believe in gods and are superstitious to the government's statement that they actually believe that it is an entertainment show.
As for whether the crow is really a Taoist priest and can return to the headquarters to report the news, it is something that Su Yong and others can't grasp. After all, there are always some strange phenomena that can't be explained in this world, that world, and naturally there is a reason in it.
Su Yong smiled and said, "It's just that there have been some intersections. I'm just curious to hear that their high-level weapons are from the Black Wind Reef here." Su Yong did not intend to publicize the events in the poetry competition. He just felt for no reason that Solomon might have something to do with the Japanese pirates, but it was groundless.
Yang Yihu smiled and said, "So it is." Everyone suddenly became clear. They all heard that the weapon used by General Su was a blood knife, which was the weapon before Yanlong. In the south, there is a black wind reef near Leizhou. The material on it is on the blood mountain in the north. The cast weapons are even cold. Before they get close, it is like a cold wind blowing.
Serum wind smiled and said, "Black Wind Reef is an island 60 miles east of Cape Island. It is rich in a kind of black reef, among which there are many rare metals, which is indeed a good material for casting weapons. Why, is General Su going to change his weapon?
Su Yong shook his head with a smile. Change weapons? I won't change it if you kill me. Even if I use a whole Black Wind Reef, I may not be able to refine a blood knife like me. Thinking of this, I suddenly felt a little sad. I have been running back and forth these days. There is no knife in the heart of the fourth type of the blood knife, but I have never understood it.
Thinking of realizing the first three formulas, he had surpassed the four heroes of Yanlong, and he also sighed the magic in his heart. The deeper the blood knife goes, the more mysterious it will be. He knows that if he wants to practice quickly, he will not be able to achieve it. In this, there must be feelings and opportunities, and even a potential that can only be stimulated in a desperate situation as an auxiliary.
At the same time, he is also secretly looking forward to it. If I can understand this layer, can I challenge the Serum of the King of War in front of me? Even, there are the three venerable people in the big interior?
He had no doubt about the words of the blood sword caster: he was invincible on the mainland in those years. Then even if there were heroes or military kings in those years, they may have become his defeated generals.
There is no first in literature, and no second in martial arts. He was convinced that since the old man had lived for more than a hundred years, he had naturally reached the peak of his cultivation and had already stepped on all the brave men.
But after all, being a general is different from being a martial artist. He can't devote all his energy to cultivation like a swordsmith. As he said before: the strategy of the subordinate general, use his own power; the strategy of the general, use the power of the general; the strategy of the general, use the wisdom of the people.Now his personal martial arts skills and knowledge have been chosen by the best. Now he relies on the army as a collective to win more honors, achieve greater ambitions for Yanlong, and eliminate all worries.
At this time, a huge detailed military map was taken from the government. It was the topographic map of the coast of Leizhou. Among them, there were hundreds of large and small islands, and some navigation routes were marked in detail. It can be seen that it was not easy to make this map at the beginning, and I don't know how many fishermen and scholars's hearts it took. Blood.
At the same time, there is also an old scholar sent by a magistrate who is said to have a deep study of geographical positioning.
This old scholar's name is Huang Shurong. He came from a poetic background. He didn't like these soldiers and generals very much. He just bowed to Su Yong. It seems to be influenced by the Kyoto Poetry Competition.
The map was spread out, and a group of iron lions searched on it for a long time, and initially selected nearly 20 islands to the east, because these islands have a common feature, that is, they are far away from the Yanlong mainland, and they are all located around the low-Japanese ocean route, which is conducive to the deployment of the other side, and the route on the mainland is more difficult to go. .
But when Su Yong and the old scholar Huang Shurong came to read, they shook their heads at the same time and completely denied these possibilities.
The two were so consistent that everyone was amazed that they couldn't help asking why.
Su Yong looked at the old scholar and said with a smile, "Mr. Huang's better."
Old man Huang arched his hand to him, hummed arrogantly at these soldiers, and then said honestly and rudely, "It's very simple. There is no fresh water on these islands."
It turned out that the map even showed the mark of the water source. Seeing that everyone only looked closely at the landform and ignored such obvious problems, the serum wind was a little ashamed. They couldn't help smiling bitterly and said to them, "These guys are all rough people. The problem is not as comprehensive as the two of them. It seems that it is up to the two of you."
At this time, Yang Yihu added: "The Heifeng Reef, Tianya Island and Bailang Island around the largest island of Haijiao Island, can also be ignored, because these islands are close to the Cape and developed earlier. Now although the mine has been stopped, there are our army's sentry posts on it. I went to see it two days ago, and it was no different.
The two nodded and directly jumped over the island near Cape Island, aiming far away from the mainland.
Not long after, the two chose several more likely islands with red and blue pens respectively.
When Huang Shurong saw several small red circles circled by Su Yong, he smiled and said, "The location of Causeway Island selected by General Su is extremely reasonable, but there is still no fresh water."
Su Yong smiled, and the red pen clicked a piece of green on the edge of the map and said, "This is different from others, because there is a large coconut forest here."
