It is said that a fire broke out in Wang Wu's water village in the middle of the night. It was the hay shed in the former east village that suddenly burned down. The patrolman who was reading at midnight immediately beat the gong. Many water bandits woke up from their dreams and came to put out the fire. Only then did they save the fire.
Halfway through, the back village caught fire again. Immediately, several more fires broke out, and thick smoke was seen everywhere outside the water village. Only the small village in the northwest was safe.
The man who was in charge of the village at this time was the man who kidnapped Lin Hai, Jia Cong and others that day. He was the second leader of the water village. After hearing the report from his subordinates, he thought for a while and said: "The fifth master said that there is a big concubine."
The master is guarding Mr. Lin. The man was not there that day, so he must be here now." He continued, "If you see a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy setting fire, don't chase him too closely! I'm afraid the hidden weapon he used is poisonous." Busy.
He led his own soldiers to the yard where the meat tickets were kept.
Sure enough, the courtyard door was opened wide, the door lock was cut off and thrown to the ground. The brother guarding the door was knocked unconscious and lying in a mess. Where was anyone else? The minions were all anxious to ask what to do. He smiled and said: "Fifth Master
I was taught this strategy of shouting from the east to the west. There were fires everywhere, but the small village in the northwest was fine. They went to the northwest. Unfortunately for them, the night patrol just happened to patrol there, and they also brought crossbows and machine guns."
Someone next to me said: "Since that's the case, can we go over and help?"
The second leader thought for a moment and said: "No need, if they really can't escape there, they can't hide elsewhere. They should be more energetic and patrol around. Send more people to put out the fire, don't scare the lady." Then he took the people.
Search separately.
On the other side, the fire in the Qiandongzhai thatched shed that first started to burn gradually extinguished, and those who helped put out the fire also went elsewhere, leaving only the twenty or so people on duty tonight in shock.
After all the fires in the village were extinguished, no one found Lin Hai and others. However, there were brothers who were knocked unconscious or injured everywhere. Fortunately, their lives were not affected and their injuries were minor. Only half of the enemy was not seen, which was a bit embarrassing.
The fire broke out. The leader guarding the small village in the northwest sent someone to ask about the situation. The second leader asked: "Has anyone escaped to where you are?"
The little guy said: "There's nothing wrong with us on the other end. Because we saw that the fire started strangely tonight, we didn't make any move."
The second leader stood up excitedly: "Where did they escape to you?"
The man shook his head and said: "No. It just happened that the night patrol came to guard the vicinity of our village. There was no meat ticket and no enemy attack."
The second leader was stunned. He stayed there for a long time and shouted: "Go to Qiandong Village!" When they arrived, they saw that the ground was full of their own people who had been knocked unconscious, so they stumbled and shouted, "Chase!"
Someone in the distance shouted across the water: "Hey~~Wang Wuye~~you fell into my family's military counselor's serial plan, and you deserve to lose! The mountains are high and the rivers are long, we will see you later~~" The voice was loud and clear from across the water.
.
Although there were no stars and moon, the shadow of a ship could be faintly discerned on the water surface. The second leader gritted his teeth and said, "What a fast ship! But since we are in our village, how can we let you escape?" He immediately ordered people to unload the ship and chase him.
The water bandit was really familiar with the water. Although the boat in front was rowing very fast, it went around in a circle. It took some effort for the second leader to catch up. When he saw the boat, he was a little stunned: the bow and stern of the boat were standing upright.
There were many haystacks. A young man stood on the bow of the boat and clasped his fists and said, "What is this good man doing chasing our boat if he doesn't sleep in the middle of the night?"
The second leader, Hao Xuan, made him angry and said: "Young man, you are not old, so don't try to be careless in front of my old man. I will hand him over and let you live."
The young man spread his hands and said: "We don't have any girls on board. Who do you want to hand over?"
"My old man doesn't want a girl, I just want that old man and that little fat guy."
The young man shrank his neck and said, "Your taste is so unique."
Although the second leader didn't quite understand what he meant, he could tell that this was not a good thing, and sneered: "Since you don't want to hand him over, brothers, go and take him back!"
Two impatient water bandits had jumped onto the boat opposite. The young man did not stop him, but even extended his arms to guide him. The two water bandits entered the cabin and looked around. There were about thirty strong young men inside.
I found Lin Hai, Jia Cong and that pretty girl, and came out and said, "There is no second leader!"
The second leader asked curiously: "How could it be missing?" He jumped up and checked carefully, but still found nothing.
The young man said: "Our ship is so big."
The second leader searched again, but still couldn't find it. Then he took apart the haystacks at the bow and stern of the boat one by one and looked at them. They were all ordinary haystacks. He asked: "What are these haystacks for?"
The young man said: "There is a play called "Borrowing Arrows from a Straw Boat". Because we know that there are water bandits nearby and the sky is dark, if you are too lazy to get on the boat to shoot arrows, we can still find some ideas to make it cheaper."
The second leader sneered: "This is obviously nonsense."
The young man shrugged and said, "It's obviously true. You don't believe it, but there's nothing I can do about it."
The second leader hummed: "Since we can't find anyone, I might as well take you back first."
The young man shrank his neck and said, "No way, I'm scared, so it's better not to go."
The second leader blew a whistle, and six ships came up from all directions to trap this ship inside. There were still others behind who had not come around. The young man said: "You can't be considered a hero just because you fight more than you can! You can do one-on-one!"
The second leader smiled and said: "We are water bandits, who can fight with you one on one!"
"Not fair!"
The second leader laughed even more: "Is there any fairness in the green forest?"
"Oh, it turns out there is no fairness in the green forest." He said, "In this case, we are no longer fair to you." Yin also whistled.
The boats in the water village all carried torches, which reflected the fire on the lake. Looking again, there was a reed swamp next to it, and many boats gradually came out of it and surrounded them, countless of them. The young man laughed and said, "This is a series of plans by our military advisor."
There are several steps: luring a tiger away from the mountain, fishing in troubled waters, luring a snake out of its hole, and ambushing from all sides. This leader, you don’t have as many people as we do, your weapons are not as good as ours, and it seems that not many people are wearing armor. Are you still fighting? Mr. Lin has sent him back long ago.
Already."
The second leader hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why isn't Mr. Lin on your ship?"
The young man said: "We weren't there in the first place. When you went to put out the fire, you got on another boat from where the hut was burning, and hid it in a hidden place outside your village. When you guys come to chase us, their boat will row away."
Seeing that he was still hesitant, the young man asked again, "Have you brought crossbows and machine guns? How many have you brought?" As he spoke, all the thirty people on board took out their crossbows from nowhere, their expressions suddenly filled with seriousness.
The second leader sneered: "Do you think I'm afraid of death?"
The young man said: "It doesn't matter whether you are afraid of death or not. Death can be as light as a feather, and death can be as heavy as a mountain of stone. If the second leader dies like this, do you think about it for yourself? Your original intention is to find Mr. Lin, and he is not on our ship."
If the leader hadn't been so curious, he had spent a lot of time dismantling us haystacks one by one, but he immediately turned the bow of the boat and chased us. If we didn't catch him, we could still catch up. You won't be able to catch up now."
The second leader suddenly raised his head and gritted his teeth: "Who said I can't catch up?"
The young man smiled and said: "The boat has passed the Ten Thousand Mountains."
The second leader immediately turned around and jumped back to his boat, and the two water bandits who followed him also jumped back. He blew another whistle, and the boats of the bandits on all sides immediately retreated like arrows. The young man also blew a whistle, and he
The first boat also rowed away in unison.
In the cabin of one of these ships, Lin Hai and Jia Cong stood up and ordered the three of them to sit around. Lin Hai twirled his beard and praised: "This military advisor is really capable."
Jia Cong gave a thumbs up and said: "As the saying goes, the best strategy is to conquer the enemy without fighting. Sir, in fact, this military advisor has come up with six strategies in total."
Lin Hai pointed to the cabin with a smile and said: "Is it possible to cross Chencang secretly and challenge the general?"
Jia Cong also smiled and said: "There is indeed a secret crossing of Chencang and a method of provoking generals. It's just that there is no ambush from all sides, but a bluff. Although there are many ships, only the one he saw was full of people."
Lin Hai was stunned for a moment, then he put his palms on his hands and smiled and said: "It's really a good plan! This military advisor is very resourceful and can make numerous plans. He is really a genius." He sighed again, "I didn't expect that the King of Wu would have such a talent."
Jia Cong curled his lips and said, "I'm not from King Wu."
"Oh?" Lin Hai raised his eyes and looked at the young man driving the boat outside, "Aren't you from the King of Wu? This is the land of the King of Wu. Doesn't that mean we have to add another trick?"
"ah?"
"The false way defeats Guo."
Jia Cong high-fived, and the master and apprentice looked at each other and smiled.
Lin Haiyin asked: "Since they are not from the King of Wu, where did they invite the troops? From Situ Pan?"
Jia Cong blinked: "Uncle, don't be anxious, you will know later."
Because Wang Wu's water village was hidden in the depths of Taihu Lake, the boat rowed for a long time before it could faintly see the shore. Suddenly, more than a dozen torches lit up on the shore. Because the boat was in the dark, it was possible to tell that this was a secluded dock in Suzhou City.
, a young man wearing a bright red cloak was waiting on the shore. Jia Cong had already helped Lin Hai to the bow of the ship, pointed at the young man and said: "She is the military advisor who came up with this seven-star chain plan."
Although he was too far away to distinguish his appearance, judging from his body shape and attire, he could tell that the military advisor was extremely young. Lin Hai said with emotion: "Sure enough, heroes have emerged from youth since ancient times. How old is this kid?"
Jia Cong said: "You are older than me, you are seventeen this year."
Lin Hai was a little surprised: "You are so young? He is as big as Yu'er, isn't he a genius?"
Jia Cong said with a smile: "He is probably a man who came down from heaven to overcome the tribulation. This military advisor is also very talented, proficient in the art of organization and construction, and can calculate the Nine Palaces and Eight Diagrams. I respect him very much. Sir, you will definitely like him."
While they were talking, the boat had already docked. Jia Cong jumped on board first, and then helped Lin Hai to land. The young military advisor had already walked over quickly.
Lin Hai hurriedly straightened his clothes, clasped his fists to the military advisor and said, "Thank you, military advisor..." Before he could say anything, he was stunned. Isn't it his daughter Lin Daiyu whose tearful eyes are full of tears? She hasn't seen her for two years, and her features have grown.
He opened up a lot, and his stature grew even taller, with a heroic spirit exuding from his whole body.
Daiyu held her father in tears and called "Daddy". Lin Hai was stunned: "Yu'er? What's going on?"
Jia Cong said with a smile: "How about it? Uncle, I told you that you would like our military advisor."
Daiyu wiped away her tears and said, "Dad, this is not the place to talk. Let's go home quickly." After saying that, she took off her cloak and put it on Lin Hai. Then she glanced at the lake and said, "Someone is following you.
Woolen cloth."
Jia Cong was startled: "Huh?"
Cheng Chi also said: "Why didn't I see it?"
Daiyu said: "There is a small boat hanging in the distance. I brought a telescope to vaguely notice it."
Cheng Chi said: "They probably waited for us to walk for a while before following up. We feinted a shot, and they also feinted a shot. They are not fuel-efficient."
Daiyu ordered someone to bring the telescope to Cheng Chi: "Excuse me, General Cheng." Cheng Chi agreed. She then held Lin Hai's arm and said, "Dad, let's go back first."
Lin Hai didn't understand what was going on, so he had to get into the car as he was told. Cheng Chi ordered a hundred people to follow him and stayed at the pier. He also got a telescope and ordered to extinguish the torches at the pier. Sure enough, a small boat appeared vaguely in the distance.
Still very far away.
Because most of the boats used today were brothers pretending to be various people, each looking for fishermen to rent them, so they dispersed in the boats and tied their boats back to the place where they borrowed them. The small boat that followed probably didn't expect them.
They dispersed, stopped in the distance for a while, and finally came over. The water bandit was also brave, so he tied the boat and landed on the shore to look around.
Cheng Chi was hiding in a boat brought by Jia's Horse Company. He thought he was interesting, so he deliberately crossed his legs and hummed a few words, "You are my little apple." In the dead of night, he immediately
Lured the water bandit over.
He came to the bow of Cheng Chi's boat and poked his head. He saw Cheng Chi stretching and yawning at the bow of the boat, and asked, "This little brother, aren't you still asleep?"
Cheng Chi glanced at him: "Brother, you talk and walk rashly without making a sound. I won't scare you to death if you are timid."
The water bandit smiled and said: "Can we boaters be afraid of ghosts? I heard that the little brother doesn't sound like a local."
Cheng Chi said: "Outsiders."
"Coming to Suzhou to do business?"
Cheng Chi thought for a while and said: "It's not really doing business, it's just running errands for the employer."
The water bandit sighed: "It's not easy to run an errand and have to stay up late at night."
Cheng Chi complained: "Isn't that right? I haven't had a good night's sleep in more than ten days, and my salary is still low."
"What kind of business does your boss do?"
Cheng Chi glanced at him: "Brother, when you are in the world of martial arts, don't pry so clearly when things happen. Not everyone can do a lot of business, and not everyone can make a lot of money."
The water bandit hurriedly nodded in agreement. Seeing that he was alert, he laughed and went out. He walked around the pier again, found a hiding place and stared at Cheng Chi's boat secretly. It would be a while before dawn.
, Cheng Chi fell asleep on the boat.
Besides, Lin Hai followed his daughter into the carriage and couldn't help but ask: "How did you come to Suzhou? Where did these soldiers come from?"
Daiyu said: "Because I got the letter from Suzhou Kuaima, I took the initiative to ask Ying to lead the troops to rescue dad. The soldiers are from the Taiwan government."
Lin Hai was shocked: "You came here from Taiwan? Why did you come all this distance?"
Jia Cong said from the side: "Sir! Sister Lin is a military strategist. Naturally, she traveled eight hundred miles with the brothers on a fast horse."
Only then did Lin Hai understand. He pointed at Daiyu and said in a trembling voice, "You, you, you...could it be that you were following these soldiers all the way?"
Daiyu raised her head: "It's the leader. I'm the leader."
"Nonsense!" Lin Hai scolded, "Others know how to behave."
Jia Cong couldn't help but mutter: "Who is that person? We don't recognize him." Lin Hai gave him a sharp look.
