Chapter 72 Chapter 71 Dongfeng does not have sex with Zhou Lang

After hearing the word "Songzhuang", Xiaoqiu couldn't calm down for a long time, and a feeling of inexplicable and unclear arose spontaneously.After all, it is a part of his life, and he has fond memories that he will never forget in this life. The tragedy of the battlefield is devastating. After tonight, how many intact places in Songzhuang will be left? Although Songzhuang does not belong to him, Xiaoqiu still does not want Songzhuang to be harmed, let alone the people there.Dongmei, Chunlan, and many others are still in Songzhuang tonight, what should they do? Don't worry, Songzhuang will be fine.Zou Xifeng noticed the change in Xiaoqiu's expression: Songzhuang will not be the place where the decisive battle will be tonight.

Xiaoqiu was puzzled: why?Did not you say I just said that Songzhuang is a battleground for tonight's military strategists, and I didn't say that Songzhuang will be the place where the decisive battle is tonight.Zou Xifeng said: We can't let the other party go ashore.Once the tiger and wolf division in Qinglong Town lands, our casualties will be very heavy. We can't learn from Song Xianggong in the Spring and Autumn Period, who talked about benevolence and righteousness, and let the Chu army cross the Hongshui, without attacking them halfway, and eventually defeated.The so-called benevolence, righteousness and morality must never be discussed in the struggle for hegemony in the rivers and lakes, only iron and blood, life and death.Zou Xifeng said word by word: The decisive battle tonight will be in Balipu!Destroy the enemies before they come ashore!

After tonight, the place name of Balipu will become famous in the Central Plains, and it will be recorded in the annals of struggle for hegemony in the rivers and lakes. Balipu.A small ferry crossing by the river, a small dot that can only be seen on the map if you look carefully.In terms of size, it is not as big as Shilipu, and it is even worse in terms of prosperity. At present, it can only be regarded as a backup terminal; in terms of size, it is not too small, and it can dock larger ships.This used to be a coal mine wharf. Since the coal mine dozens of miles away, after years of overexploitation and deforestation, has basically been mined, there is not much coal to transport, and this once prosperous wharf has gradually declined.

Especially on this kind of festive night, except for a few watchmen, there is no one else, and it is eerie. The water is unpredictable, and the soldiers are unpredictable. Boss Hu chose this place to go ashore because he liked the depression, tranquility and neglect here.Boss Hu brought in carefully selected young dead men, and everyone's family received a generous settling allowance, which relieved their worries.Because he is young, even a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, with high morale and no hesitation. Once ashore, what power can stop this new force? Under the cover of night, five large ships were quietly preparing to dock.All the dead soldiers stood up and stood quietly, waiting for the order from the upper deck.

A group of eight riders on the shore was responding, but the leader was the manager Yongda. After Zou Song was captured, the eight riders who followed him all the way out of the hillside were replaced by people from the bank.The black horse and the wide cloak make it impossible to see the true face from a distance. Manager Yong was sneering on the bank. Zou Xifeng's eyes are now fixed on this small dot on the map. Xiaoqiu said: What method do you use to prevent people from Qinglong Town from landing?They're almost there. Zou Xifeng said: Didn't I tell you just now?One word, borrow.

borrow?Xiaoqiu said: How can I borrow it? Just borrowed it from Qinglong Town. ah?Please speak quickly!Xiao Qiu said quickly that he also wanted to know the answer as soon as possible. This time Qinglong Town came here on five large ships, and in order to hide their eyes and ears, the people gathered under the cabin.Zou Xifeng said: With the weight of the personnel and the weapons carried, the draft of the ship will be very deep, so the cargo loaded on the ship for camouflage should not be too heavy. Makes sense. The key lies in the goods they choose. They should have chosen straw for transportation.Zou Xifeng said: The straw is indeed very light, but in this season, what is the straw most afraid of?

What are you afraid of?The straw is dry in winter, afraid of Xiaoqiu muttering to himself, suddenly his eyes lit up: Afraid of fire? right!Zou Xifeng slapped his thigh: It's fire. Xiaoqiu suddenly realized: After the straw boat borrowed arrows, Zhuge Kongming borrowed the east wind, and Zhou Yu set fire to the Chibi company camp. Do you also want to use fire to attack? Exactly! Balipu Pier. Tonight is windy, southerly, avoid fire. Countless torches suddenly lit up on the dark pier, followed by rocket locusts of linoleum shooting towards the ship, like a meteor shower with fire.The straw on the boat immediately caught fire and burned quickly. The wind assisted the fire, and the fire immediately started a prairie fire and spread.

The fire made the river red. The dead soldiers were buried in the sea of ​​fire before they had time to get on the deck.Zou Xifeng used the simplest, most primitive, most direct and most effective method to annihilate Boss Hu and his most elite troops in one fell swoop. The two giant bells on the Eagle Tower suddenly rang a long and loud bell. The bell passed through the dark night, spread to thousands of households, spread to the sky above Balipu, and echoed for a long time on the empty river. This is the midnight bell, marking the coming of the new year. From this moment on, Jardine Bank has become the new overlord of the rivers and lakes, and a new era has come.

midnight.Xiao Si rode a sweaty horse and rushed into Qinglong Town. He changed seven fine horses along the way, galloped for several hours, and was exhausted, and finally rushed back. As soon as he entered the town, the horse foamed at the mouth and fell down. As soon as the signing ceremony was over, Xiao Si immediately got on his fast horse and started on his way home.The reason is simple, that is, to go back to celebrate New Year's Eve and reunite with family members. Everyone thinks this is a very legitimate reason, and the bank has no reason to refuse.In fact, the real reason is that Xiao Si is worried about the safety of his wife and daughter.

From the moment he saw the fireworks signal in the snow, he had an ominous premonition. Xiao Si has sent messages to Boss Hu many times requesting to suspend the operation, but so far, there has been no news, so how can he not be anxious. Qinglong Town has already sent out all the best, and the rear must be empty. If it is attacked at this time, the consequences will be disastrous. Why did Boss Hu take this risk?Why has there been no reply?Could it be that sending him to the bank is just a tactic to slow down the troops?Is he just a victim of this game? Qinglong Town is brightly lit, just like daytime.The bluestone streets are full of confetti after the firecrackers were set off, and the smell of gunpowder lingers in the air after the fireworks are set off.

The only difference is that it is quiet, unusually quiet.There were no human voices, no dogs barking and chickens crowing, and no sound of mahjong dice. The entire street was silent, deadly silent, and the surroundings were as quiet as a dead town without life. Not a single person was there.Only the red lanterns under the eaves swayed in the wind. Xiao Si's home is at the end of an alley on the corner of the street, in a courtyard. He has a happy family, his wife is gentle and virtuous, and his three-year-old daughter is lively and lovely.This home is the driving force and sustenance of his life, and the spiritual pillar and source.No matter how tired you are, no matter how far you are, as soon as you come home, there will always be a bowl of hot soup served, and there will always be two smiling faces looking at him. The closer he got to the house, the more nervous he felt. Xiao Si almost ran home. The door of the house was open and the candles were brightly lit, but he had neither a wife nor a three-year-old daughter. There are still many untouched, lukewarm New Year's meals on the table, emitting a faint heat, as if waiting for him to go home for the New Year. Xiao Si looked around, but he didn't see anything unusual in general, except that he saw a wisp of his wife's messy hair on the bed, and an inconspicuous knife mark on a doll of his daughter. My wife has always been a tidy person, even if she loses a piece of soft hair when dressing up, she will carefully pick it up and treasure it. The daughter's doll is brand new made by Xiao Si for her before leaving the house this time. In the cold wind, Xiao Si was startled and broke out in a cold sweat.
