Zhang Yi feels that the atmosphere in the cottage is better. Although everyone is uneducated and cannot explain many reasons, they are all warm-blooded men and can talk to each other.
A banquet was held in the stone fort, and platoon leader Lu Wei and others were invited to drink and eat meat, and there was a lot of laughter and laughter.
The fire is burning brightly, warming everyone.
"Brother Yi, will Commander Chen be okay?" Xiao Han asked worriedly.
"It's hard to say, Xiaohan," Zhang Yi took a sip of wine and put down the glass and said, "I don't think it will be a big deal, but there will definitely be trouble."
"Brother Yi, are we still doing business? Should we capture Xinhui City and rescue the brothers in the city?" Shi Gandang asked.
"Business still needs to be done," Zhang Yi patted this honest little brother on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Xiao Shi, don't talk about war, only do it as a last resort. Soldiers are the most important thing for the country. War is such a big deal.
, are very cautious, they will not easily start a war with us."
"Why?" Shi Gandang asked with wide eyes.
"This is not a fight between two small cottages. We have a place on the big chessboard of China. Anyone who wants to fight must consider the consequences." Zhang Yi said, "However, it cannot be ruled out that some people have brains.
You are not awake and come to provoke us."
Judging from Zhang Yi's understanding of Vice Premier Sun, he was a bit stubborn and extreme. Once Zhang Yi ran away, he would not be able to return to the capital to report to Chairman Zhao, and would most likely lead troops to cause trouble.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yi sent a dozen people to set out overnight to gather people from more than a dozen nearby cottages. He would not act on impulse and cut off the trade routes in the east and the opportunity for friendly dialogue with the leaders of Greater China, but he could not be cautious.
none.
…
At around eight o'clock in the morning the next day, the sky was overcast and it started to snow heavily.
When the weather is good, standing on the wall of Wanchun Village, you can see Xinhui City in the distance at a glance, but now the visibility is very low, and you can only see a few miles away.
Several warriors in the village each took a pair of binoculars to look into the distance. Suddenly someone noticed the situation. An army came out of the wind and snow.
There were no trumpets or drums, just walking in silence. The cavalry led the way, followed by the infantry. White snow covered their armor, and the iron spears reflected the cold light of the forest. The army from Xinhui City seemed to be out in full force.
Got it!
"Quickly, go report to your sworn brother!"
The warriors continued to observe, and one person rushed towards the stone castle.
"As expected, Vice Premier Sun refused to let me go. This person is very difficult to deal with." Zhang Yi said calmly, "Listen to my orders and don't act rashly."
Shi Gandang, Shi Yu and others nodded repeatedly.
Xiao Han helped him put on his armor, and Zhang Yi picked up the Panlong stick, led everyone out of the stone castle, and led the horses down the mountain.
Separated by an earth wall, the men and horses from both sides faced each other.
To the east, Xinhui City's 300 cavalry and 600 infantry formed a square formation. It looked like they were well-trained at ordinary times. Vice Premier Sun and Commander Chen came to the front of the formation.
Vice Premier Sun wrapped himself in a cotton coat and wore a cotton hat on his head. His glasses were covered with frost and he could only see the scene ahead through the gaps.
There were hundreds of men and horses on the other side of the earth wall. There were only a few hundred cavalry and a few hundred infantry. They were dressed in messy clothes. In the eyes of Vice Premier Sun, they were just a mob.
One of them was sitting on a horse, wearing black fine steel armor with dark red leather inlaid at the joints. There was also a word engraved on the breastplate: "Yi", which was clearly Zhang Yi!
"Zhang Yi, oh, Comrade Zhang Yi," Vice Premier Sun said with a contemptuous tone, "I think our negotiation was very pleasant. What do you mean by running away suddenly? You also organized the mountain people to fight against us, no
Is this necessary? Ha, look at your men, and then look at our army, the contrast is huge!"
This is a show of force, thinking that they are regular troops, while the bandit soldiers in the cottage are vulnerable to attack.
"Vice Prime Minister Sun, you are a little pushy," Zhang Yi said with a smile, "If you want to have a good talk, I am happy to do so, but the negotiation between the two parties must be based on equality and respect. The big one cannot bully the small one or use power.
Pressure people.”
Vice Premier Sun raised his head and laughed. He thought it was ridiculous. A big country with a population of tens of millions, how dare people from a small country dare to talk about equality with him?
"Comrade Zhang Yi, those who understand current affairs are heroes. I already respect you very much. It's you who thinks you are right and wants to control the people in this area to bargain with us. Tell me, what do you want? 1.5 million kilograms of grain is not enough. You can add more.
Hundreds of thousands of pounds! As long as you cooperate sincerely, we can meet your various requirements!"
"You are wrong, Vice Premier Sun. We are not so rich that we can't finish the food, but we never take other people's things for free." Zhang Yi said while maintaining a smile, "There is no reason to give for free. We don't want to take advantage of it."
This is cheap. If we are short of food, we can buy it with gold. If you are short of telescopes and coal, you should also use gold to buy it. This is only fair."
"I have all the good things to say, don't you want to hear it?" Vice Premier Sun was a little angry. According to his expected plan, the Mopan City area could have been smoothly included in the territory, but Zhang Yi did not cooperate with him, "Zhang Yi, you have your own way.
, do you know the consequences?"
"What are the consequences?" Zhang Yi asked back.
"Once our army crosses this earth wall, you will have no way to retreat. Think clearly, with your strength, you will not be able to compete with us!" Vice Premier Sun warned.
Zhang Yi laughed and answered without hesitation.
"Vice Premier Sun, I still say the same thing. If you want to talk, let's have a good talk. If you want to fight, we will stick with you to the end. As long as you dare to step over this earth wall, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
This is Zhang Yi's attitude, never cross the bottom line.
Vice Premier Sun was so angry that he was shaking all over. He turned to Commander Chen and shouted, "Attack!"
Commander Chen sat motionless on the horse. He looked at Vice Premier Sun with a solemn expression and said: "I am a soldier. Without the leader's order, I cannot cross the border to start a war. Vice Premier Sun, you talk about negotiation.
I will accompany you, but you must not exceed your authority."
"Commander Chen, how dare you disobey orders? I am the leader's representative. You must obey me. I order you to send troops immediately!" Vice Premier Sun said angrily. When Commander Chen didn't move, he shouted again, "Soldiers, Chen
The commander disobeyed orders and I removed him from his post. Now I take over the army and follow my orders to take down these bandits!"
Not a single soldier listened to him, they all stood solemnly in the wind and snow, like clay sculptures.
Zhang Yi was very moved, but he didn't want to embarrass Commander Chen, so he waved his hand, the horn sounded, and thousands of people rushed out from the north, the south, and behind him, and gathered together in a mighty manner.
If you think Zhang Yi has few people and is easy to bully, then Vice Premier Sun is wrong.
Seeing countless powerful warriors running towards them, Vice Premier Sun was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse.
