Chapter 329: Eight Masters
Yanshan Camp.
Yu Chaozong had just had breakfast and was about to inspect the camp, and as soon as he went out, he saw a small leader in the Yanshan camp walking back and forth outside the door, obviously waiting here to have something to say.
"Big boss!"
When the little leader saw Yu Chaozong come out, he immediately bowed down.
Yu Chaozong smiled: "Gao Lu, do you have something to say to me here?" If you have something to do, you can go directly to me, so why wait here. ”
This Gao Lu has been in Yanshan camp for a few years, and he is not the first batch of subordinates of Yu Chaozong, but he is the first batch after Yu Chaozong camped in Yanshan.
This person's family is very poor, a native of Daizhou, he himself said that he came to take refuge because he couldn't stand the oppression, and said that the rich family in the city bullied his family so badly, he couldn't stand it, killed the rich family, and then fled to Yanshan.
But in fact, this person was originally a hooligan ruffian in Daizhou City, because he coveted the daughter of a family, and secretly climbed over the wall to try to insult someone's house, but he happened to be bumped into by the family when he came back, he was afraid of being caught, so he grabbed the kitchen knife and hacked several people to death before escaping.
After Sun Rugong's mother prepared to send Sun Rugong to Yanshan Camp, she found out that this Gao Lu had helped the Zheng family with things, and the disgraceful business of the Zheng family was all done by this Gao Lu with his younger brother.
I heard that he had arrived in the Yanshan camp, and in the past few years, he had already mixed up with a small leader, so he sent someone to contact him, gave Gao Lu a lot of gold and silver, and asked Gao Lu to take Sun Rugong into the Yanshan camp.
Mrs. Sun also promised him that as long as he introduced Sun Rugong to Yu Chaozong, there would be generous gifts.
After taking Mrs. Sun's silver, Gao Lu was greedy for more silver, so he wanted to take a risk.
"Big boss."
Gao Lu said cautiously: "The big boss also knows that I am from Daizhou, and now there is a relative in Daizhou City who wants to come over to take refuge, he is a wealthy family in Daizhou, surnamed Zheng, and is in business, but he was backed by General Daizhou Xiangbing. ”
Yu Chaozong asked: "Is it because of the Daizhou Xiangbing general who fled directly because he learned about the black warrior Koubian?" ”
"Yes."
Gao Lu said: "That's the person, this relative of mine is called Zheng Gongru, he is not very old, but he has taken over the family business, his family's business was supported by the general of the box soldier so he did a lot of work, after the general escaped, the other officials in the city united, and wanted to swallow the Zheng family's business, he couldn't stand it, so he wanted to come to the big boss." ”
Yu Chaozong shook his head and said, "Such a person, if our Yanshan Camp wants to take it in, we should be cautious." ”
Gao Lu hurriedly said: "Zheng Gongru asked people to find me and gave me two hundred taels of silver, saying that they asked me to help introduce them, and the silver has already been handed over to our accounts. ”
Yu Chaozong was already leaving, and after hearing this, he asked more: "What's the matter?" ”
Gao Lu said: "Zheng Gongru said that those officials in Daizhou City bullied his family in every way, and he was angry, and he was willing to help secretly and assist the big boss to take Daizhou City." ”
Yu Chaozong said with a smile: "He is a businessman, if he really has that ability, he will be bullied by a few officials?" ”
Gao Lu said: "He is willing to bring people over to take refuge, his mother answered in Daizhou, entered Daizhou City under the cover of the Zheng family firm, and then took Daizhou in one fell swoop." ”
The corners of Yu Chaozong's eyebrows raised slightly.
At the beginning, Prince Yu gave him a general, let him guard the northern frontier, and let him control the two places of Daizhou and Xinzhou, but he and he couldn't enter the two cities, as long as the people of the Yanshan camp arrived, these two places were immediately closed, and they were tall and strong, and there were thousands of soldiers to defend them, and it was really difficult to fight down.
It's not that it won't be able to fight, but it's definitely a lot of casualties.
After listening to Gao Lu at this time, Yu Chaozong was indeed a little interested.
He asked Gao Lu, "How many men do you have now?" ”
Gao Lu hurriedly replied: "Back to the big boss, I have more than a thousand brothers under my command. ”
Yu Chaozong said: "I'll leave this matter to you, you take your people to pretend to be a caravan into the city, let the one named Zheng Gongru cooperate with you, I will arrange for someone to lead the army to wait outside the city, you take the city gate, and the reinforcements will go over to support, if you can really take Daizhou, I will give you a general, give you 3,000 soldiers, your relative, you can also stay in the Yanshan camp to do things, and you will not be disadvantaged." ”
Gao Lu scolded in his heart, and said that Lao Tzu still wants to take risks for you?
But he was already riding a tiger at this time, if he said that he didn't dare to go, Yu Chaozong naturally doubted, maybe he felt that he was colluding with the government and wanted to design to get rid of Yu Chaozong.
If Yu Chaozong thought so, Gao Lu's days in the Yanshan camp would have come to an end.
"Yes."
Gao Lu leaned over and said: "I am willing to work hard for the Yanshan battalion, I will go down the mountain to contact Zheng Gongru, if I can take Daizhou, he said that he can also take the opportunity to take Xinzhou." ”
Yu Chaozongxin said that this Zheng Gongru was quite confident, and he dared to say that he would take Daizhou, after all, the Zheng family had a large caravan to cover, and he actually dared to say that he would take Xinzhou.
Yu Chaozong smiled and said casually: "If your relative can take Xinzhou again, and the land of the two cities will be included in our Yanshan camp, I will let him have a position in our Yanshan camp, and now there are seven masters in our cottage, and if he can take Xinzhou, he will be the eighth master of Yanshan camp." ”
"Yes!"
Gao Lu responded, and he was still a little jealous in his heart, if he could really take Daizhou Xinzhou, this Zheng Gongru would directly become one of the leaders, but he was still just a small general, so it was indeed a little uncomfortable to think so.
Gao Lu leaned over and said, "Then I'll go and contact him, and the big boss will wait for me to send someone to send back the news." ”
"Go ahead, be careful."
Yu Chaozong confessed, but in fact, he didn't care much in his heart, now that the Yanshan camp is big, it is not only the common people who want to take refuge, but also countless rich families and people from big families, who want to arrange people to take refuge in him, just to bet on him Yu Chaozong while it is still early.
Yu Chaozong basically didn't want to take such a person in, and he didn't believe it at all, that person named Zheng Gongru could have a way to take two cities in a row, and Yu Chaozong had seen too many braggarts over the years.
Last time, there was a person who came to take refuge and said that he was a sword immortal and could fly with a sword, Yu Chaozong asked him to fly, and that person said that when he flew with a sword last time, the sword flew, and he didn't jump on it, and the sword had been lost for more than a year and hadn't come back.
Yu Chaozong said that other swords can't fly? The man said that it must be his sword, and other swords can't, so Yu Chaozong said You go back and find your sword, I can buy the sword.
said that he took the two places of Daizhou and Xinzhou, in fact, Gao Lu didn't believe it, but the cowhide was blown here, and the cowhide was already blown, and if he retracted it at this time, the reflux of gas could blow his stomach out.
Gao Lu went down the mountain that day, and Zheng Gongru was actually waiting under Yanshan, and after the two of them met, they told the matter in detail, and Zheng Gongru's eyes lit up.
"Yu Chaozong really said that if I take Daizhou Xinzhou, he will let me be the eighth master?"
"yes."
Gao Lu said: "Yu Chaozong said it himself. ”
Zheng Gongru thought carefully for a while and said: "This matter, don't report it to Yu Chaozong, just take more than 1,000 people from your headquarters down the mountain, and I am sure that I will use your more than 1,000 people to take two cities in a row." ”
Gao Lu's face changed: "Don't fool me!" ”
Zheng Gongru said: "If the matter is done, the credit belongs to you and me, and no one else is involved
Come on, whose credit is this? ”
He smiled and said: "Second, if you really lose and your more than 1,000 people have an accident, I will give you a large sum of silver to ensure that you will not be able to eat and spend all your lives, and you will not lose anything, and the lives and deaths of those more than 1,000 people are comparable to the countless silver I gave you?" ”
Gao Lu's eyes flickered for a moment, constantly changing, obviously thinking about the contrast.
In the end, Gao Lu still couldn't resist the temptation of a large sum of silver, nodded and said: "What you said is reasonable, if I return, Yu Chaozong will arrange for a master to lead the army over, even if he wins the two cities, the credit is also great, if we want fame and fortune, we will fight for this." ”
Zheng Gongru smiled: "You believe me, I will not let you down." ”
He whispered something in Gao Lu's ear, and Gao Lu's face immediately became happy after hearing it.
"Really?"
"That's how it works!"
Zheng Gongru said: "As long as you completely follow my arrangement, it will be easy to take Xinzhou Daizhou, such a trivial matter is like a bag for me." ”
On the same day, Zheng Gongru arranged for Gao Lu's men and his people to pretend to be a caravan to return to the city and take the city gate by surprise.
Zheng Gongru asked Gao Lu to lead people to wave the flag and shout, saying that the army of the Yanshan battalion was about to be killed outside the city, and the city gate was lost, and the defenders in the city thought that the Yanshan battalion would really send countless men and horses.
In addition, many of the box soldiers were still familiar with the Zheng family, and they were Zheng Gongru's grandfather's old subordinates, who took the benefits given by the Zheng family and also spoke and instigated, so they really let more than 3,000 box soldiers surrender.
Zheng Gongru arranged for the people in the box soldiers to go out of the city and rushed all the way to Xinzhou.
After the messenger rushed to Xinzhou, he said to the chief officer of Xinzhou that the people of Daizhou had changed, because of the lack of food, at least more than 10,000 people in Daizhou besieged the official mansion, and the chief official of Daizhou did not dare to ask for help from Yu Chaozong in Yanshan Ying, fearing that Yu Chaozong would take the opportunity to seize Daizhou if he knew, so he came to Xinzhou for help.
The man also said that if Daizhou was taken by Yu Chaozong, after Prince Yu returned, he was afraid that Xinzhou would be to blame.
The officials in Shinshu discussed for a while, and finally decided to send troops, and the chief officer personally led thousands of soldiers and horses from Shinshu to Daishu.
And Zheng Gongru left Gao Lu to take a thousand people to guard Daizhou, and he himself took the soldiers who had surrendered from Daizhou and ran to a place only seventy or eighty miles away from Xinzhou to wait.
Knowing that the Shinshu army had rushed to Daishu to support, he took hundreds of Daishu's van soldiers, with the banner of the Shinshu side that had been made, saying that the chief officer sent them back to transport some supplies, and he was really deceived by him to open the city gate.
Although Zheng Gongru is not tall and ugly, he has been studying hard and practicing hard since his body recovered in the past few years, and his martial arts have also improved by leaps and bounds.
He took hundreds of people to deceive the city gate and then defended this place, and the follow-up reinforcements arrived and directly robbed Shinshu City.
However, the chief officer of Shinshu ran to Daishu with the Shinshu army, but found that the city gate was closed and they were not allowed to enter, and realized that something was wrong, and the chief officer of Shinshu rushed back to Shinshu with his men and horses day and night, and as a result, Shinshu could not enter.
Zheng Gongru said to the chief official of Xinzhou on the city wall that he was ordered by King Yu to seize Xinzhou, and King Yu had promised that if you were willing to surrender, you would still be the chief official of Xinzhou.
The officials of Shinshu deliberated again, and finally chose to surrender, Zheng Gongru asked the team outside the city to put down their weapons and enter the city, and as soon as they entered the city gate, the chief officer was taken down by Zheng Gongru.
Zheng Gongru only took seven days, and he really won Daizhou and Xinzhou, and I don't know if it was his luck.
When the news came back to the Yanshan camp, even Yu Chaozong was shocked.
He immediately sent someone to summon Zheng Gongru to the Yanshan camp, he really wanted to take a good look at this Zheng Gongru, how much ability he still had.
