I am a wolf warrior

If so, the information might be true.

Qiao Risheng said at the moment: "Then how do I know whether the information you provided is true or not? If you provide false information, wouldn't my 1000 taels of gold be a trap for you?"

"This is easy." Liu Ertang said, "You can pay part of it first."

"Okay." Qiao Risheng patted the table and said, "Pay ten taels first!"

Chapter 482

"Brothers, what do you think?"

Qiao Risheng's eyes swept over the faces of Kong Huan, Zhou Zhongwen and other hard-core confidants.

After a pause, he continued: "Anyway, it cost me 50 taels of gold. If there is false news, then I will lose a lot of money."

Dare to go through some bargaining,

In the end, I paid 50 taels of gold first.

As for the remaining 950 taels, Qiao Risheng had no intention of giving it to him at all.

If the information is true, and the supplies and American equipment have already been obtained, and the rest of the gold is handed over to the Eighth Route Army, wouldn't he be an idiot?

Kong Huan said, "Brother, I don't think it's fake."

Zhou Zhongwen said: "It doesn't matter whether he is real or not, you will know if you go there."

The other three hard-core confidants also meant the same thing, saying that they didn't say anything.

"I don't need to ask a few of you." Qiao Risheng shook his head, then turned to Li Xiadao, "Brother Li Xia, what do you think? Is the Eighth Route Army worthy of trust?"

Li Xia said, "The Eighth Route Army probably didn't have good intentions."

"Brother Li Xia hit the nail on the head!" Qiao Risheng slapped his thigh and said, "The Eighth Route Army is two tigers competing for food, and they are using this batch of supplies and American equipment to provoke a conflict between our North Shanxi Bandit Suppression Army and the Jinsui Army." Fighting, when our Jinsui bandit suppression army and the Jinsui army have lost both sides, their Eighth Route Army will be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman. Let alone other things, Ding Wei, the head of the new regiment of the Eighth Route Army, proposed several times to incorporate our Jinbei Army This is what the bandit suppressing army is aiming at."

Several hard-core confidants complimented him one after another, but the eldest brother could see through.

Qiao Risheng asked Li Xia again: "Brother Li Xia, do you think we should make a move?"

Li Xia said with a serious face: "Brother, whether you make a move or not is something you should consider. Anyway, as long as you give me an order, I promise to be the first to attack and kill people!"

Qiao Risheng laughed out loud when he heard this.

Li Xia's statement made him extremely satisfied.

What a good brother, not to mention good skills, the key is to know how to advance and retreat.

But in the next second, Qiao Risheng put away his smile and said coldly: "The Eighth Route Army has no good intentions, but they miscalculated our northern Shanxi bandit suppression army!"

"If our northern Shanxi bandit suppression army still only has two thousand people, even with the advantage of the terrain, we may not be able to support the 3000 Jinsui army. But now, our northern Shanxi bandit suppression army has incorporated the Yanbei National Salvation Army. , the strength of the army has exceeded [-], so with the help of favorable terrain, we can easily defeat the [-] Jinsui Army!"

"So, Eighth Route's strategy of two tigers competing for food is wishful thinking."

"In the end, they can only give us support and equipment for nothing."

After a pause, Qiao Risheng said again: "Tomorrow, my brothers and I will scout along the road to find a suitable terrain, and then we will wait to make dumplings for the Jinsui Army."

……

In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed.

At the mouth of killing the tiger, Mongolia is outside the mouth, and Shanxi is inside the mouth.

In ancient Shanxi, because the land was too barren to support so many people, they could only go to Mongolia to find a living. However, most people who went to Mongolia to find a living had to pass through the Killing Tiger Pass, so it was called Zouxikou.

The Killing Tiger Pass now belongs to the Sui army's defense zone, and its safety is still guaranteed.

But Wu Ziqiang and Duan Rongqing's nerves began to tense up.

Duan Rongqing is the head of the First Regiment of the 94th Brigade of the Central Army, and a veteran of the Teaching Corps of the Central Military Academy.

Wu Ziqiang said: "Brother Duan, if you go further, you will be at the boundary of Ying County. This is the territory of Qiao Risheng's local tyrant. We must be more vigilant."

"Captain Wu is right." Duan Rongqing said, "Qiao Risheng should not be underestimated."

"Ah." Wu Ziqiang sighed, and said again, "If both of our regiments are fully equipped, Qiao Risheng will not be taken seriously at all. The shameful thing is that our regiment is just an empty shelf now. Look at it." It is all beautiful equipment, but in fact there is only a small amount of ammunition, and the mountain cannon doesn't even have a damn shell."

By the way, when I went to Hetao to meet them, Duan Rongqing's regiment carried weapons and ammunition, and Wu Ziqiang's regiment went empty-handed in order to reduce the burden.

Because there was no mission when I went there, and there was an infantry regiment from Duan Rongqing with me, and my safety was guaranteed, so it was no problem to go empty-handed. When I came back, their regiment had already taken over the regiment that originally belonged to the 94th Brigade of the Central Army. There are advanced American equipment and a battalion of mountain artillery, so there is no problem in terms of safety.

But after reuniting with Chen Bulei, Wu Ziqiang discovered that the number of American equipment was correct, but a basic number of ammunition for matching equipment was embezzled and detained by Hu Zongnan in the name of "urgently needed to suppress bandits".

Thinking of this, Wu Ziqiang gritted his teeth with hatred again, Hu Zongnan is really too hateful.

If it weren't for the presence of Chen Bulei, it would be difficult for these beautiful weapons to get out of Xi'an City.

Because Duan Rongqing was used to seeing her eyes and being bullied, she took these things lightly.

At that moment, Duan Rongqing persuaded: "Commander Wu, let's take a closer look. Are there still few things like the party and the state? The situation of your independent brigade is actually not bad. Our independent 94th brigade is really pitiful."

But that's all for now, I won't say how pitiful it is.

Because neither Liang Gang nor Duan Rongqing wanted to be miserable.

As soldiers and men, their heads can be cut off and blood can flow, but selling miserably is not what they should do.

After being persuaded by Duan Rongqing, Wu Ziqiang's mood really improved a lot. Human nature is like this. When you see someone else is worse than yourself, your mood will improve.

At that moment Wu Ziqiang said again: "But for the next part of the journey, I will leave it to you, brother."

Duan Rongqing nodded and said: "Regimental Commander Wu, don't worry, Qiao Risheng's northern Shanxi bandit suppression army is not a good one, but our 94th Brigade of the Central Army is not a vegetarian either."

While the two were talking, Chen Bulei followed with his guards.

Chen Bui's guards were not his own, but the guards led by Lei Yangtang, who were specially following to protect Chen Bui's safety, because this road had to pass through Qiao Risheng's defense area in addition to the Sui Army's control area. Yan Xishan was worried about Chen Bulei's safety, so he transferred his guards.

"Both regimental leaders, this should be the mouth to kill a tiger, right?" Chen Bulei asked.

"Back to Director Chen, this is the Killing Tiger's Pass." Wu Ziqiang said, "We are so poor in Shanxi, and when we encounter a disaster year and really can't survive, we can only go to the West Gate to go outside the mouth. This Killing Tiger's Pass is the only way to go."

"In the past, there were bandits entrenched in this tiger-killing mouth, specializing in robbing pedestrians and business travelers in the past."

"For hundreds of years, I don't know how many merchants and pedestrians passing by the west entrance have been murdered by bandits."

Speaking of this meal, Wu Ziqiang pointed to the ground and said: "All the bones buried under the ground are the blood and tears of our Shanxi people."

Chen Bulei sighed softly, and murmured: "The situation of the country is difficult, and the people are like grass."

Among the many senior officials of the national government, Chen Bulei can be regarded as concerned about the country and the people.

After passing the Tiger Kill Pass, they entered the border of Ying County. Both Wu Ziqiang and Duan Rongqing raised their vigilance, fearing that Qiao Risheng would bring the Jinbei bandit suppression army over to rob the road.

However, to the surprise of Wu Ziqiang and Duan Rongqing,

All the way to the junction of Ying County and Fu'an County, everything was peaceful and wasteful, and nothing happened.

Seeing that not far ahead was the boundary of Fu'an County, which was the defense zone of the 94th Brigade, Wu Ziqiang and Duan Rongqing were inevitably relieved. It seemed that Qiao Risheng still knew himself and did not dare to come to provoke their Central Army.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Wu Ziqiang said, "Brother Duan, why don't you rest for a while and have lunch?"

"En." Duan Rongqing nodded and said, "Have a full meal first, and then you can walk to Tiandagang in one breath. Once you arrive at Tiandagang, you will be completely safe, and the mission of you and my brother will be considered complete."

Immediately issued an order to rest in place, and asked the cooking team to find water for cooking.

Soon, smoke rose from the field, and the aroma of rice permeated the smoke.

After eating and resting for half an hour, Wu Ziqiang was about to give the order to move when he suddenly felt a stomachache.

"Oh, my stomach." Wu Ziqiang said to Duan Rongqing, covering his stomach, "Brother Duan, don't rush to pull it out, I have to find a place to relieve my hand."

"No problem." Duan Rongqing said, "Go and come back quickly."

"Just for a while, just for a while." Wu Ziqiang turned around and left.

Watching Wu Ziqiang go away, Duan Rongqing shook his head in contempt.

Let you be so greedy just now, but now you eat too much and your stomach is full, right?

However, in the next second, the smile on the corner of Duan Rongqing's mouth gradually froze, because immediately after Wu Ziqiang, several officers were holding their stomachs and looking for a place to relieve them.

Among them were officers from the 94th Brigade of the Central Army.

"What's the situation?" Duan Rongqing faintly felt something was wrong.

Then, the situation took a turn for the worse, because more and more officers and soldiers began to find places to relieve themselves.

In the end, because there were too many officers and soldiers to relieve their hands, they couldn't find an empty space, so they simply squatted down on the spot to relieve their hands.

Soon, the air was filled with a nauseous stench, Duan Rongqing and a few officers and soldiers who were fine hurriedly moved to the upper air outlet for a temporary stay, otherwise the stench could really kill people.

Chen Bulei was also one of the few who were fine.

Chen Bulei said: "Captain Duan, the situation is not right."

"Well, I can see it too." Duan Rongqing said, "There is a problem with the water source!"

"You mean..." Chen Bulei's face changed slightly, "Have you been poisoned?"

"Nine times out of ten!" Duan Rongqing said, "And most of them were done by Qiao Risheng's people. This bastard will be a horse bandit until he dies, and he only likes to use such dirty tricks."

Chen Bulei said, "Should we send someone to ask for help?"

"It's useless." Duan Rongqing shook his head and said, "Since Qiao Risheng used such a trick, he will definitely send rangers around. It is impossible for our signal soldiers to escape their hunting."

"Then what should we do?" Chen Bulei said, "Can't we just wait like this?"

"We are safe for the time being." Duan Rongqing said, "Because it is impossible for Qiao Risheng to know that Commander Wu's troops have only guns and no ammunition, so with their mere two thousand mobs of the northern Shanxi bandit suppression army, they dare not fight with us. A regiment of more than 4000 regular troops is head-to-head, so now we only need to do a good job of defense."

While talking, Wu Ziqiang walked over with a bad smell.

After not seeing him for a while, Wu Ziqiang's face was already pale and his legs were fluttering.

"Brother Rongqing, the situation is not right." Wu Ziqiang said panting.

"Our meals are poisoned, and we have spies in our troops."

"Commander Wu, it's not the food." Duan Rongqing said, "It's the water source that has been poisoned."

"Water source?!" Wu Ziqiang said angrily, "Damn it, damn it, I didn't expect to come here for most of the way, but when I was about to get home, I made a conspiracy. This bastard Qiao Risheng is really insidious."

"Yes." Duan Rongqing said in a deep voice, "Qiao Risheng is really good."

……

On a bare hilltop three kilometers away, there is a small cluster of vegetation.

Under this clump of vegetation, Qiao Risheng, Li Xia, and Kong Huan were hiding.

Qiao Risheng held a telescope in his hand. With the help of the telescope, he could clearly see the soldiers of the national army squatting on the ground with their buttocks naked in the valley ahead.

Looking at the rows of naked buttocks, Qiao Risheng was delighted.

"Brother Li Xia, you are amazing." Kong Huan said with admiration on his face, "A few days ago, this group of national soldiers always cooked and ate separately. Army, but today, why did these national troops suddenly change their nature?"

Li Xia said in disbelief, "The reason is very simple, because we are almost home."

"Yes, because they will be home soon." Qiao Risheng said with a smile, "People will relax at this time, and once they relax, it is easy to get tricked."

Speaking of this meal, Qiao Risheng turned his gaze to Zhong Zhenyue again, and asked, "Old Zhong, have all the cavalry been sent out?"

"Sent out." Zhong Zhenyue nodded and said, "This group of national troops is doomed. No matter which direction they send signal soldiers, it is absolutely impossible to escape our cavalry hunting."

"That's good." Qiao Risheng said with a grin.

"Then we'll just wait, wait for this group of national soldiers to stretch their legs, and then clean them up."

Hearing this, Kong Huan, Zhou Zhongwen and other confidants showed smug smiles on their faces.

……

in the valley.

Wu Ziqiang took another dip, and his face became even paler.

"Sigh." Wu Ziqiang thumped the ground and said annoyedly, "I wish I had brought a radio with me."

"Radio station?" Chen Bulei's expression moved, and he said, "Isn't there a radio station in the American equipment I brought? Can you contact the 94th Brigade of the Central Army or the [-]st Brigade of the Jinsui Army through the radio station?"

"Director Chen, I can't get in touch." Duan Rongqing waved his hand and said with a wry smile, "The communication distance of these military radio stations is only fifteen kilometers. You need a radio station that can send and receive newspapers to contact the brigade headquarters."

"Then what should we do?" Chen Bulei said, "I can only wait here?"

"Yes, that's the only way to see it at the moment." Duan Rongqing nodded, and said again, "But fortunately, before we set off from Wuyuan, we had contacted the brigade headquarters through the Sui Army's radio station."

"So, the brigade headquarters can probably determine the time of our arrival."
