Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

The gathering hall of Qingfeng Village.

The big boss Zhu Qingfeng, nicknamed Tyrannosaurus Rex, was born into a family of swordsmen from the northwest. He practiced the ancestral method of horizontal training, and wielded the sword with great vigor and power. He had real kung fu, and whenever he swung the sword, blood would be drawn. He made a great name for himself in the local area.

But later on, while escorting goods, they encountered an ambush. He took the seven or eight surviving brothers and went up the mountain to become bandits. However, he never oppressed the common people and only attacked the landlords and wealthy families. He had a very good reputation in this area.

The second in command, Shi Xiaofeng, nicknamed Sai Diaochan, was born into a wealthy family. Later, her parents were killed by rebels. She escaped under the protection of more than 20 servants. She heard that Qingfeng Village had a very good reputation. In addition, she had run out of money, so with the support of 18 servants, she became the second in command of the village.

The third leader, Bao Daya, nicknamed Jade-faced Fox, relied on his advice to win the trust of the first leader, Tyrannosaurus Rex, and became the third leader of the village. He was often jokingly called the Dog-headed Military Advisor by Tyrannosaurus Rex. Bao Daya was not a simple man. He was a Jade-faced Scholar and had been to university. Later, because his family was killed, he fled here from Jinling in desperation to avoid being killed. He wanted to rely on the bandits of Qingfeng Village to avenge his family.

The three leaders were drinking and eating in the Juyi Hall. They were in high spirits when the small leader Zhu Ziming shouted, "Big Boss, Second Boss, Third Boss, I have something urgent to report. Someone outside wants to see the three leaders and has offered 100 silver dollars as a gift!"

Before the leader Tyrannosaurus Rex could speak, the third leader Jade-faced Fox sneered, "Where did this White Neck come from? Bringing 100 dollars as a gift, how much do they look down on our Qingfeng Village? Keep the money and send them away. Let them be more careful next time!"

The little leader Zhu Ziming replied bitterly: "Third boss, those people said they are the Eighth Route Army and want to stay in our village for a few days. They are willing to pay us 500 yuan in rent, and hope we can agree!"

When the third in command, Jade-faced Fox, heard that it was the Eighth Route Army, he did not continue speaking, but turned his gaze to the first in command, Tyrannosaurus Rex. Even the second in command, Sai Diaochan, was no exception.

The big boss Tyrannosaurus Rex initially thought that they were just passing businessmen, but when he heard that they were from the Eighth Route Army, he felt a pang in his heart. Normally, he and the Eighth Route Army had no dealings with each other, and the two sides had never had any intersection. Now they suddenly wanted to stay here temporarily. Could this be usurping the throne? For a moment, he was confused. He wanted to refuse, but couldn't say it. He decided to meet the other party first.

"Zhu Ziming, have your brothers bring the people up here. I want to see what this group of Eighth Route Army soldiers are up to. If they really want to take over my place, don't blame me for being rude!"

"Brother, you are right. As a woman, I am not afraid of trouble. If an enemy comes, I will fight him with my army and if a flood comes, I will block it with earth. If you want to occupy our stronghold, you have to ask the gun in my hand if it agrees!"

"Brother, don't say he is from the Eighth Route Army. Even if he is from the Ninth Route Army or the Tenth Route Army, if they want to occupy our stronghold, they have to come in vertically and leave horizontally!"

Zhu Ziming hurriedly brought Li Gou'er and Li Shitou in. Wang Dazhu originally wanted to enter the stronghold alone, but was stopped by the two brothers. They asked Wang Dazhu to be ready outside and launch an attack immediately if the negotiations inside failed.

After Zhu Ziming brought Li Gou'er and his brother into the gathering hall, the third leader, Jade-faced Fox, looked at the two men and asked with a fake smile, "I wonder what the two Eighth Route Army officers are doing in our village? Our temple is small and I'm afraid it can't accommodate two big Buddhas. Please find another place. I'll have someone give them 200 silver dollars as a token of our respect for the Eighth Route Army's fight against the Japanese!"

Li Shitou didn't expect that before he could even open his mouth, a pale-faced scholar wanted to send him away with 200 silver dollars. He couldn't bear it any longer and retorted: "I don't know what this person's name is? We don't want your 200 silver dollars. We in the Eighth Route Army have discipline and we don't take a single needle or thread from the people. You can't let us make a mistake!"

Zhu Ziming saw that something was wrong and hurriedly introduced the three leaders to the two men. Li Gou'er bowed to the three leaders and said, "The first, second and third leaders of Qingfeng Village, this time our Eighth Route Army passed by your precious land and wanted to seek some help to arrange for the common people to stay here for a few days. Our captain is willing to pay 500 yuan for rent. If it is not enough, we can add more."

"The people who are going to live here are from Duanjia Village. I believe you in Qingfeng Village should have heard of this village. The Japanese wanted to paint these people before, but we rescued them. But we didn't expect that the mountains were blocked by heavy snow, and the Japanese raided for a while, so these people had nowhere to go. I hope Qingfeng Village can take them in for half a month!"

The big boss Tyrannosaurus stroked his beard and decided to agree. He nodded and said, "Platoon Leader Li, I am willing to agree to your request, but you can only send one platoon of soldiers into the mountain village. I also have to consider the safety of the brothers in the mountain village. As for the rent, 500 yuan is enough. We are also willing to provide them with three days of food as support for your fight against the Japanese!"

The third in command, the Jade-faced Fox, wanted to refute, but was glared at by the Tyrannosaurus Rex. He was very angry, and coupled with his previous grudges, he planned to vent his anger on the folks in Duanjiazhuang and create some conflicts between the two sides. He could just watch the show from the side.

So the matter was settled. Qingfeng Village cleaned up some vacant houses and waited for the people of Duanjiazhuang to move in.

Lin Zhenhua had not expected that the plan to stay overnight at Qingfeng Village would be so easy to accomplish. Early the next morning, he led the people of Duanjiazhuang to Qingfeng Village. Under the supervision of the leader Tyrannosaurus Rex, he brought the villagers of Duanjiazhuang into Qingfeng Village. Only then did Lin Zhenhua truly breathe a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Boss, for your understanding of the righteousness. I would like to thank you on behalf of the villagers of Duanjiazhuang. I will arrange for someone to pick us up in half a month. This is 1000 yuan, please accept it. If the pick-up is a few days late, please take care of the food for the villagers!"

The big boss Tyrannosaurus Rex didn't expect that the captain of the Eighth Route Army was actually a child. He suppressed his curiosity and promised: "Captain Lin, I, Tyrannosaurus Rex, keep my word and will never break the contract. You can pick me up at any time!"

The two sides exchanged a few more pleasantries. In order to ensure the safety of the folks in Duanjiazhuang, Lin Zhenhua, with the consent of the leader Tyrannosaurus Rex, arranged for another squad of soldiers to enter Qingfeng Village.

After making arrangements for the folks in Duanjiazhuang, Lin Zhenhua began to take another road with four full platoons of soldiers, preparing to return to Lijiazhuang first.

Lin Zhenhua remembered that he had not signed in today. He silently said "sign in" in his heart, and the system's clear and pleasant voice rang out.

"Ding Dong, the system has signed in successfully. I will give you ten rotten egg fruits as a reward. Please note that the smell is too strong, so please be careful when using them!"
