Chapter 151

  Following Cheng Dairen's line of sight, all he saw was a sea of flames in the valley below.

  A giant tree that one person can't hug is cut down, accompanied by the sound of a laborer's shout, and pulled into the valley. Boulders as big as millstones roll down from the mountain slope, which will become materials for building city walls. The river course in the valley is being dredged, pig iron workers are sweating like rain in the iron workshop, the old, weak, women and children all join forces, and meals are delivered to the front line at the first time every day.

  One can only know how great one's potential is when life and death are at stake. The potential of five thousand people will be revealed when the blade is about to fall on their heads.

  With all 5,000 people mobilized, the construction of the stronghold is proceeding in an orderly and uninterrupted manner.

  But Cheng Dairen had only one thought: too slow, too slow, too slow!

  It is necessary to cultivate the Toad Mountain Stronghold into a third-class stronghold before the spring, making it an impregnable fortress. If Cheng Da Lei is given some more time, he has confidence in equipping every single person in the mountain stronghold with full equipment and training this mob of people into an elite army that can command and prohibit at will.

  But Cheng Da Lei doesn't have time now, so he feels everything is too slow, too slow, too slow!

  The more tense the valley is, the more eerie the Flying Tiger Fort will be.

  "The King of Youzhou reigns for a thousand autumns and ten thousand generations, his merits rivaling those of Heaven!"

  The sky was still dark, and outside the window, such a shout had already sounded. Pei Xizhi's heart was really dead at this moment, these days in Feihu Fort were truly like years, every day immersed in singing praises of King Youzhou.

  Get up early for a morning run, pray before meals, gather together before bed to discuss how to succeed, and how great the King of Youzhou is.

  Bai Xi Zhi is going crazy!

  He had planned to discuss this task with several others, but Xu Shenji arranged for them to sleep together on a large kang with dozens of people, under surveillance without blind spots for all 12 hours.

  What investigation, probing, differentiation... Now Pei Xi Zhi doesn't even dare to think about it.

  He wasn't unprepared for what happened here before he came, Toad Village was going to come violently, and the people he brought this time weren't without masters. Toad Village wanted to play brains, and he alone could take on a thousand. But he didn't expect that Toad Village neither competed with him in brains nor in violence, they competed in who was more shameless.

  Bai Xi's skills were inferior to others, so he humbly conceded defeat.

  "General Xu Jun, I've been here for a long time, shouldn't we meet Commander Cheng?"

  "Cheng Zhai Zhu pulled his stomach and said: 'I'll test you, can you tell me the ten great things that King Youzhou has done?'"

  Bai Xi Zhi.

  "General, yesterday Master Cheng had diarrhea, is he feeling better today? Do you want me to go visit him?"

  "Hey, you should have said so earlier. Cheng Zhai's master has gone out on official business since early morning. Let me ask you, King of Youzhou, which battle was it that you won a great victory and defeated the Rong tribe?"

  The Battle of Changkufeng.

  "How many enemies have you killed?"

  "Eight thousand."

  "What are their names?"

  "...delighted Pei Xi."

  Finally, one night, Pei Xizhi and others, with great courage, launched a battle to defend their IQ. They fled from Feihu Fort overnight, fleeing back to Youzhou City without regard for anything.

  In the dead of night, someone knocked on Xu Shen's door.

  "General, General, have they gone?"

  "Has he left?" Xu Shen flipped over and sat up: "Quickly bring the pork from the kitchen, it's been several days since I've eaten meat, my mouth is so dry!"

  One day and one night later, Pei Xizhi returned to Youzhou City. When Li Shanyan saw them, he was suddenly frightened. He saw that these few people were wearing tattered clothes, with green lights flashing in their eyes, and each person had become a circle thinner.

  "Wow, what's going on with you? You've successfully lost weight!" said Li Shan Yan.

  "Is it the brilliant and martial, ingenious and clever military strategist? Foolish me has finally met you, like a lost lamb returning to its mother's bosom, a traveler at night seeing the dawn."

  "...". Li Shan-yen said.

  "Should we get them something to eat first?" Li Shan didn't know what was going on either.

  "Are you guys from Hamao Village?" asked Li Shan-yen.

  "We are the noble military strategist's emissaries, how dare their filthy fingers harm a single hair on our heads."

  "Is this what you've been locked up for? The mountain bandits of Frog Village are so bold."

  "They pressed the lion's gallbladder on them, and they did not dare to treat us like this, because treating us like this is an affront to the supreme dignity of the military commander."

  "What's going on with you guys?" Li Shan said: "Also, can't you speak normally for once."

  Pei Xi was taken aback, wondering if he had done something wrong to the frog village or if there was something wrong with what they did. For a moment, he didn't know how to respond.

  "Wise military strategist, sir, I beg of you, permit me to recount with my clumsy tongue the experiences of these past few days..."

  Li Shan-yen endured extreme nausea as he listened to their account. After a long while, he finally let out a sigh of emotion.

  "How shameless!"

  "General, what about Lord Pei? Should we get a doctor for him?" one of his men asked.

  "Drag him out, forty big slaps for each of you, when will you learn to speak human language, bring him back to see me again."

  "Gentlemen..." and several others were taken away, Li Shan's face broke into a smile, and he said to the attendants beside him: "A ship without sails cannot sail, I can't do anything without your wisdom, who else wants to go to Ha Ma Zhai?"

  Having said that, Li Shan Yan couldn't help but want to slap himself, how did his words always go astray.

  Li Shan's surroundings were quiet, with no sound of birds chirping. Usually a few people who thought they were smarter than others didn't say anything either. Pei Xi had been gone for just over ten days and was almost driven mad, so who would dare to go again?

  "How about you go for a walk?"

  "Honorable Military Strategist, clumsy bird..."

  He stood up and sat down again when his eyes met Li Shan's, wisely shutting his mouth.

  Li Shan coldly snorted, "You dare to continue speaking? Do you believe I won't beat you up on the spot? Do you really think a scholar like me doesn't know how to fight?"

  He thought for a moment, then suddenly sneered: "Forget it, no matter what kind of ghost idea Cheng Dalai comes up with, try it out and he'll know. Come on, pass on my message, let the Frog Village dispatch 1,000 men to attack Fow Tiger Mountain."

  After the Wind and Rain Pavilion, Yang Long chose Cheng Dali, sealing him as the Left General of the Touring Cavalry. The other Green Forest bandits couldn't swallow their food, so they joined the Youzhou army. Some people, relying on the large number of soldiers under them, didn't give face to the King of Youzhou.

  Among them is Xiong Lao Da of Fodu Mountain.

  Yang Longting had long wanted to eliminate Xiong Lao, first because Xiong Lao had 700 or 800 men under him and it wouldn't be difficult to defeat them. Second, Yang Longting also needed to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, to show his power to the King of Youzhou, Wang Qinglin.

  Recently, he has been planning this matter. Li Shan-yen wrote a letter and sent it to Qingniu Mountain by fast horse. If Cheng Da-lei is willing to send troops, it will be a dog-biting-dog situation, and the two powerful thieves will suffer losses on both sides. If Cheng Da-lei is not willing to send troops, his intentions will also be more or less explored.
