1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 1933
Xue Zheng's thoughts along the way were almost always thinking about how to track down the North Koreans, and how to deploy to seize the opportunity to attack. During this period, he actually didn't pay much attention to the status of the internal personnel, and he didn't expect that someone would jump out halfway to fight for power. .But if you think about it carefully, the group of people he commanded came from several different forces, and they were temporarily combined to participate in this operation. It is difficult to work together in pursuit of interests, so it is not surprising that Lu suddenly caused trouble.

But Xue Zhenghui was named by his superiors to be in charge of organizing and directing this difficult task. A large part of the reason is that he has outstanding ability and determination, and is not easy to be swayed by external influences. Otherwise, facing a powerful opponent like Haihan, he will easily feel fear. It is inevitable that you will be timid in the process of action, and the chances of success will be even slimmer.

Regarding the sudden challenge at this juncture, although Xue Zheng was burning with anger, he still tried his best to keep his emotions calm.Lu Weng and he are not from the same camp, but they have dealt with each other a few times before, and he also knows that the other party is another spy arranged by another force to lurk in the territory of Haihan. This impromptu action is nothing more than because their respective camps want to take this opportunity to stumbling Haihan and gain more room for development for their own side.But this person surnamed Lu just jumped out and wanted to beat him up. Although it was beyond Xue Zheng's expectation, he would never just bow his head and admit defeat.

"Lu Weng, this errand is not an ordinary errand and abduction, killing people and stealing goods. If the higher-ups think you have this ability, they won't hand over this task to Xue Mou, are you right?" Xue Zheng said in a slightly mocking tone. He shot back: "You want to take this job, so you have the consciousness that you will be benevolent if you don't succeed? When you need to fight with your life, you really won't sneak behind the station like you did just now outside the station? "

As soon as Xue Zheng made a move, he pinpointed the opponent's weakness. This old and cunning Lu was very good at seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, but he didn't have any skills to show off. Xue Zheng mocked him that he could only do some dirty business.Previously, Xue Zheng ordered everyone to set up an ambush outside the train station, and everyone else tried to go forward to get a better chance to make a move, but this man surnamed Lu slowly walked more and more to the periphery in the crowd, obviously wanting to take advantage of it. Get out early when the scene is chaotic.Xue Zheng didn't say anything when he saw it at the time, but secretly recorded his behavior, but he didn't expect that this material would come in handy in a blink of an eye.

When this group of people took over this task, they knew that this trip was very dangerous, and they might have to risk their lives to fight for a chance to succeed. Moreover, they had already received a settling allowance before they set off, and most of them were prepared to fight for their lives. mental preparation.Even if someone has other ideas, they will never reveal it in front of their accomplices, so as not to cause trouble to the upper body.Because it is said that there may be characters similar to the Supervising Team in this team. As long as you feel that someone is retreating and afraid of fighting, you will decisively deal with them, so as not to implicate other people and affect the entire team. next important action.

As soon as Xue Zheng exposed his background, Lu Weng blushed immediately and retorted: "Xue Zheng, don't you want to spout blood. Since when have I, Lu, been afraid of trouble? If I am a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, how can I be selected here?" Join this errand?"

Xue Zhengdao: "I don't know why you were selected, but if you want to make trouble during the operation and spoil the plan, you will definitely not be able to bear the responsibility! I advise you to think carefully and take back what you just said! "

How could Lu Weng show weakness, and still insisted: "Xue Zheng, you insist on going your own way and your command is not effective, so you miss the opportunity to do it again and again! If you continue to be in charge of commanding, I think the Koreans will go around this again." You won’t lose a single hair after walking around the island a few times! You’d better let go earlier and hand over the talisman, so as not to hurt your kindness!”

Xue Zheng saw that there were two or three people behind the other party who seemed to be ready to move, and knew that Lu Weng should have prepared in advance and deliberately took advantage of this opportunity to make trouble.But how can Xue Zheng be easy to get along with? Since the other party wants to use hard methods, then he will not be polite.

"Lu Weng, since you are so persistent on this matter, then I will obey your will and order you to take it, but I only give you three days, if you do not make any achievements after three days, then I will order you to take it." Return the talisman to me!"

After Xue Zheng finished speaking, he reached into his bosom, and took out a small piece of shiny iron.At this time, everyone dared not light the lights in the forest, and by the moonlight, they could barely see that the iron plate was shaped like a shield, and there seemed to be a Chinese character on it.

This Lu Weng had seen the token before, seeing that Xue Zheng handed it over on his own initiative, he thought to himself that it would save the old man a lot of work.As for the three days that Xue Zheng said, he didn't care at all. After getting the token, this team has no place for Xue Zheng to speak. Three days is enough for him to reintegrate the team. It won't be so easy to take back control.

Lu Weng snorted and said, "Then let's take three days to show you the true skills of this old man!"

After finishing speaking, Lu Weng stretched out his hand to get the order talisman in Xue Zheng's hand, and as soon as his fingers touched the cold iron piece, he felt his hand tighten, and Xue Zheng had already grabbed him.He was about to shout, when he felt a strong force coming from the opposite side, pulling him over.Lu Weng was vigilant, but looking at Xue Zheng's face, there was a ferocious look on his face. Before he could react, he felt a pain in his heart, and all the energy in his body was drained from his heart.

Lu Weng cried out in shock, but a stream of blood gushed out of his throat, and he muttered a few times that even he couldn't understand.He lowered his head slowly, and saw that Xue Zheng was holding the hand holding the talisman with one hand, and holding a gleaming dagger in the other hand, and the sharp blade of the dagger was stuck in his chest .

"Three days is too long, it's better to see the outcome now!" Xue Zheng finished these two sentences in a low voice on the side of Lu Weng's head, and then turned the dagger half a circle vigorously in his hand, completely cutting off the opponent's vitality.

Lu Weng's body twitched a few times, and soon he lost his breath, and collapsed limply to the ground.However, he didn't let go of the hand holding the talisman until he died. After Xue Zheng put away the dagger, he slowly opened his fingers, and only then did he completely fall to the ground.

This back-and-forth game is actually only a very short moment, and the speed is so fast that the surrounding onlookers have not even reacted before it is over.The few people who were eager to try after Lu Weng exchanged glances with each other, but in the end they didn't dare to take any further action.Of course they can try to kill Xue Zheng, but the leader is already dead, so killing Xue Zheng is meaningless, not to mention they are not sure if there are people around who are actually on Xue Zheng's side, waiting for themselves Jump out.

Xue Zheng dealt with the accomplices who tried to challenge his authority neatly, and then looked up at the people around him. Although he couldn't see the expressions on everyone's faces clearly, since no one made a sound at this time, it means that his extraordinary means have been well received. deterrent effect.

"Everyone saw just now that Lu Weng insisted on going his own way and disobeying the command, trying to disrupt the deployment of operations, and even wanted to use force to hurt me! I had no choice but to subdue him to protect the overall situation, but I didn't expect to kill him by mistake... But this is also the result of his own fault, Don't you think so?"

Xue Zheng had already thought up his speech before he started, and now he speaks it out in a calm manner, even more calm and calm. Even if there are people who have other thoughts in their minds, seeing him so calm, they will be worried that he still has something to do.The old man who wanted to turn his face just now is slowly getting cold, who would dare to try to challenge Xue Zheng's patience again at this time.

"This Lu guy, I thought he was not a good guy, and he dared to sneak up on the boss! It's a good thing the boss is quick with his hands, otherwise, if this old guy succeeds, wouldn't this mission be in vain!"

"This person has been targeting the captain all the way. Could it be that he has secretly taken refuge in Haihan and is doing things for him?"

"That's right, if that's not the case, it's not enough to explain why he is so eager to seize power from Captain Xue!"

After a few words from the crowd, they immediately determined the nature of Lu Weng's following crimes.Among them are Xue Zheng's people, and there are also people who are ignorant of the situation. Now that the surname Lu is dead, there is no room for them to choose a side. The only person they can express their support for is Xue Zheng. .If you don't want Xue Zheng to be the next liquidation target, it's safer to state your position earlier.

Xue Zheng saw that his method of establishing prestige had achieved excellent results, so he struck while the iron was hot and said a few more words to win people's hearts: "Everyone, the success or failure of this errand depends on whether you can work together and get the job done sooner." Cleaning up the black sheep will be good for us in the future. I, Xue, am here to give you a guarantee that as long as you obey the order, you will be able to complete this mission, and it is not impossible to get out of here."

Someone responded: "The owner of the ship is so determined, it must be because he already has an action plan to deal with the North Koreans."

Xue Zheng nodded and said: "Get rid of this corpse first, let's talk in another place later, the smell of blood here is too strong, it is not suitable to stay for a long time!"

This group of people came to guard Qiao Zhiya's private manor near Daling, and they only brought some personal weapons, but no one would carry tools such as hoe and shovel, so there is no possibility of digging a hole to bury Lu Weng's body Yes, all that can be done at the moment is to carry the corpse to a place far away from the human-traveled area and hide it.However, their luck seemed to be quite good. Not far away, they found a crack in the ground washed out by a mountain stream. They threw a few stones down to listen to the sound, and it felt quite deep. So under Xue Zheng's command, they took Lu Weng His dead body was pushed into this crack in the ground.

During the process of carrying the corpse and throwing it away, Xue Zheng arranged for everyone present to move their hands. Naturally, he wanted to use this method to seal their mouths so that no one would chew their tongues afterwards.And of course everyone understood Xue Zheng's purpose, but no one dared to be dissatisfied with this, otherwise they might be the one who was thrown into the cracks in the ground next moment.

After finishing the processing, Xue Zheng called everyone to go back to their residences in the county.Some people questioned whether it is necessary to keep people here to monitor the manor, but Xue Zheng denied such an arrangement: "In this barren mountain and wild place, there is no place to go shopping at night, and those dignitaries will definitely not come out. Even if you stare at it all night, Apart from the high wall, there is nothing else to see, so why don't you all gather up the team early and rest for the night, and come out to do things earlier tomorrow."

After returning to his residence in the county seat, Xue Zheng called everyone into the same room, and then told them his new thinking.

Xue Zheng believes that the actions before this have always been chasing after the North Koreans, so it is difficult to predict that the enemy will make targeted deployments in advance. Either a lot of time was spent on meaningless surveillance, or Spent in exhaustion.And Xue Zheng's new idea is to change his own situation, change from passive to active, and no longer be led by the nose by the target.

To put it simply, Xue Zheng believes that it is no longer possible to repeat the North Koreans' way of action, but to predict some movements of the North Koreans, and then make arrangements in advance and wait for the time to do it.

"For example, we know that the North Koreans have gone to the Shilu Mine today, and the next step is to visit the local smelting industry. Although Haihan imposed military control on those smelting workshops, making it difficult for outsiders to get in, but It’s not impossible. And since we know where the North Koreans will go next, we can study their route from Daling Manor to the smelting area first, and find out if there is a chance to do it.”

Xue Zheng didn't intend to arrange the entire action plan by himself, he just provided a direction of thinking, and gradually improved it by brainstorming.Although this group of people came together improvised for this task, there were also some experienced players among them, and they would also consider some details that Xue Zheng might have overlooked.

Setting up an ambush on the route that the North Koreans may pass is the simplest and most brutal method. The advantage is that the opponent's target is obvious. As long as there is a high-level convoy appearing, they will basically not go wrong. But the trouble is that they only have short weapons. Stopping a moving convoy and having to deal with dozens of armed guards, while at the same time finding the target person to attack, is too difficult for their equipment and staffing.Unless they can find a dangerous terrain on the other side's route, and maybe there is a little possibility of success, otherwise they can only bite the bullet, which is actually tantamount to death.

Another solution is to try to sneak into the smelting area, wait for an opportunity to get close to the target before doing it.The difficulty of mixing in is not that there are any detailed checkpoints, the main reason is that they do not know the local situation very well, and their understanding of the smelting business is almost at the level of passers-by, and the smelting areas are almost all large and small furnace workshops. If there are a few idlers looking around, it will be very conspicuous.
