The sound of killing in Erlong Mountain shook the sky.

The three giants Chao Gai, Wu Yong, and Gongsun Sheng watched their subordinates perform enthusiastically, and they all had smiles on their faces.

Wu Yong, who was in charge of the intelligence, shook his feather fan and said in a low voice: "Two elder brothers, it is reported that Qingzhou has recently added two capable generals, and the number of soldiers and horses has increased to 10,000, and the number of crossbows and arrows has also increased a lot. ”

Gongsun Sheng twisted his beard, his eyes flashed: "Cai Jing's heart aches, his heart does not die, and he does not think about his own mistakes but becomes more and more vindictive." These traitors who mislead the country and harm the people take half of their selfish strength in governing the country, and the people will not be so sad. ”

Chao Gai snorted: "What if you add two generals?" 100,000 officers and soldiers were not afraid. ”

This was said with confidence, not when he was supporting the officers and soldiers in order to solve Zhao Yue's suspicions.

By the robber army rampant in Shandong, Erlongshan robbed the local tyrants and inferior gentry in the states near Qingzhou, laid the foundation in one fell swoop, and gained a firm foothold in Qingzhou, now there are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses on the mountain, almost all of them are strong and fierce bandits who dare to fight, there are more than a dozen leaders, materials, food alone is enough for two years to eat, the money robbed is piled up, the weapons are complete, there is water to drink on the mountain, there is a field to grow vegetables, and there are chickens, ducks, sheep and pigs with the danger of Erlong Mountain, only can not be defeated.

Chao Gaide Zhao Yue secretly euphemistically mentioned, pay attention to the supporting professional training of men and horses, and organize the horses into a cavalry, which was trained by Yin Tai, Yin Chun, Li Zhong, and Zhou Tong, although the number is not large, and the quality of the horses is not good, but it is enough to form a deterrent force in the Qingzhou battlefield.

The infantry was divided into seven teams. The 3,000 elite and mountain-guarding troops and ballistae of the Chinese army were personally led by the three giants, and the rest were led by Liu Tang, Zheng Tianshou, Deng Long, Du Qian, and Song Wan. Each department consisted of 2,000 men, each of whom trained pikemen, sword and shield soldiers, and archers. In peacetime, military training often engages in competitions. To see who leads the outstanding soldiers, there are rewards for the diet, and in wartime, it is even more important to see which general has a higher combat record. This is directly tied to the distribution of loot and even to the leader's ranked position.

Chao Gai doesn't understand the profound meaning and potential harm of Zhao Yue's saying that eating a big pot of rice is undesirable, but he understands the huge stimulating effect of interests and face, and strives to distinguish rewards and punishments regardless of personal feelings.

Bai Sheng, who was mixed as the leader, Chao Gai gave full play to his unobtrusive specialty of bold and slippery image, and was designated as the intelligence leader, which was controlled by Wu Yong's leadership and guarded the mountain during the war. Led by Gongsun Sheng.

In this way, all leaders perform their own duties, and there will no longer be a situation in which there is no longer a situation in which you push me and I push you in military training. The morale of the morale has been completely renewed, and it is no longer a rabble.

Chao Gai regretted that there was no leader who was good at archery on the mountain, and he could not make up archers, so he could only temporarily select suitable people from the leaders of each department who were good at archery to train the archers. There is also no leader of the good water war, and the Erlongshan fleet can only act as a transport team, and there is no combat effectiveness. The leader was temporarily appointed by Zhuang Ding, a cronie who was good at boating and swimming.

Even so, Chao Gai is also high-spirited and ambitious.

If the officers and soldiers dare to attack, they will be killed.

You can also follow Zhao Yue's reminder to subdue some good officers and generals, and improve the supporting facilities of the Erlongshan troops. Make up for the shortcomings of archers and sailors, so that the team is more regularized, professional, and more combative.

Chao Gai didn't understand why Zhao Yue, who was a son of a powerful and wealthy family, wanted to help him, a traitor, deal with the government like this. But after learning the profound lesson of the birth gang planning is not secret, these guidance, help and gratitude, along with questions, are hidden deep in my heart. Didn't tell any of the brothers on the hill.

He pondered to himself, Zhao Yue had more of a reckless aura. What you do should be righteous anger.

In addition, everyone in the world knows that Cangzhao is benevolent. Started by benevolence and unity of the people to fight against the Liaokou, and in turn treated the people more and more, seeing the emperor and the gang traitors so scourge, maybe they were extremely dissatisfied but powerless to change, so they changed the law to strengthen Erlongshan to stimulate the officers and soldiers to work hard to remind the court to love the people.

Chao Gai has no political ambitions, the essence of which is that the peasants lack political wisdom and foresight, and like the peasants live their lives, they pay attention to the present, which step they go to, which step they say, and they do not consider things that are too far away.

He looked at the thriving cottage and thought about two loves.

"Military advisor, Mr. Gongsun, now that the cottage has no worries about survival, it's time to repay it."

Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng both understood what he meant.

There is no shortage of cottage money, and taking out some gratitude will not affect the cottage's major events. They all nodded in agreement.

Wu Yong asked, "Who does my brother want to send?" ”

The first person Chao Gai remembered was naturally his most trusted loyal Liu Tang.

Wu shook his head.

"Brother, Brother Liu Tang is loyal and courageous, and he is used to walking the rivers and lakes with high skills, so it doesn't hurt to protect gifts, but he has a fierce temperament, a special appearance, and loves to drink, and the atmosphere of a hero in the green forest is too heavy, so it is easy to attract attention to do this, and secondly, it is easy to cause unexpected conflicts and troubles for some incidents."

In this kind of matter, the shrewd Gongsun Sheng will not come up with an idea, just agree or disagree.

Chao Gai thought for a while and nodded, "Then who is appropriate?" ”

Wu shook his fan and said with a smile: "Brother Li Zhong is used to walking the rivers and lakes, he is cautious and tight-mouthed, his martial arts are in the forefront of the cottage, he can protect money, and his appearance is honest, so he will definitely be able to go smoothly." ”

Chao Gai smiled: "It is indeed suitable. ”

Thinking of Li Zhong's temperament, he made another joke: "I'm afraid that he will be stingy, and he will be reluctant to pay for it then, so he will carry it back and forth." ”

The Big Three laughed.

That's it.

Prepare two gifts now. One is ten thousand taels of gold and some rare treasures, sent to Liangshan.

Zhao Yue is not uncommon, these are not words. The Cangzhao family has a big business, strong financial resources, and is not bad for money. But that's another story. For such a great kindness, Erlongshan must have something to say.

Chao Gai is rich but generous, and he knows in his heart, no matter how much he sends Zhao Yue, he will not feel distressed.

The other is naturally for Song Jiang.

It's not a lot, a thousand taels of gold.

The fact that a person in the public can report the news at a critical moment regardless of the huge risk is strong enough.

Although the Great Song Dynasty is rich, gold is also a rare thing, and gold is not a circulating currency.

Of course, private transactions, you know and I know, naturally cannot be prohibited.

Erlongshan looted the big households in many state capitals, and the birth gang only got this gold in total, and this time it was almost emptied.

Wu was distressed, but he knew that it would not be much to send double to Liangshan, and he was not the poor scholar who just wanted to make more money to live, and he had other ambitions, so he didn't say anything.

Gongsun Sheng smiled and praised the atmosphere of the Heavenly King, but suddenly he had another thought in his heart, and his eyes were bright.

Li Zhong took the task, took the boat of Erlongshan and went south to Liangshan Shuibo, naturally visited Zhao Yue first, but Zhao Yue was not there, he only saw Deng Fei and Zhu Gui.

For this thank you gift, Deng Fei naturally couldn't accept it, but he couldn't refuse, and he didn't know what to do.

Zhu Gui laughed, accepted it, and only told Li Zhong to go to Yuncheng to come back for a reunion after finishing his errands.

The role of Li Zhong does have its own person in history, he is one of the giants in the late Northern Song Dynasty and early Southern Song Dynasty, he made a lot of trouble, and his subordinates used to be hundreds of thousands, and his status in the north is equivalent to Tian Hu, so he is just a mediocre supporting role in the book, but he has a great reputation for fighting tiger generals.

Li Zhong in this world used to be pressed by a miserable life and had no real ability, he was just a little person who was a fool of the rivers and lakes, and he seemed mediocre, but now he has high martial arts, his status has changed, and he is confident.

He is cautious and careful, aware that Liangshan and Chao Gai are only afraid of a close relationship in secret, and befriending Liangshan is not only the meaning of the three giants of Erlongshan, but also of great benefit to his own retreat, in case one day Erlongshan is defeated, he can also seek protection in Liangshan, this time he has the opportunity to come alone to make friends with Liangshan heroes, after listening to Zhu Gui's words, he quickly said that he would come back and have a few more drinks with the heroes of Liangshan.

Zhu Gui laughed and punned: "I'm my own brother, how can I drink a few more glasses?" ”

Li Zhong didn't know that he actually had another inside story when he started his career from Chai Daguan, but when he heard the words of his brother, a wave of joy suddenly surged in his heart, and his heart became more calm and confident for a while.

He left his beloved Chai Jin to give him the gun in Liangshan, only wore a waist knife, and went to Yuncheng with a bag on his back.

It was just noon, Song Jiang got off duty, went out of the yamen, and took his henchman bodyguard Wang Si to find a restaurant to drink and eat. ”

Song Jiang turned his face and glanced at it, he was such a majestic and majestic man, but he didn't know him and had no impression.

He had never seen Li Zhong, Liu Tang, Zheng Tianshou, and Gongsun Sheng, who robbed the Shengchengang. Even Baek Seung, who was arrested in Jeju Prison, didn't know him.

"Ah, Xiao Ke is Song Jiang. Is this hero looking for Song Jiang? ”

Li Zhong smiled, but asked again: "But Shandong timely rain filial piety Hei Saburo Song Gongming?" ”

This man is cautious. I'm afraid it's unusual. Probably yes

Song Jiang pondered in his stomach, and said with a modest smile on his face: "It's just a small name, and the rivers and lakes are just love." ”

Li Zhong is cautious and cautious, but it is not for this reason to ask more, Song Jiang's characteristics are black and fat, his words and deeds are public clothes, and Wu Yong described them clearly before leaving, and it is easy to recognize them when they meet.

Li Zhong came to Shandong, heard the name of Song Jiang for a long time, and when he saw the real person, he wanted to see what was outstanding about Song Jiang, whether he was as heroic and righteous as rumored, and had a broad mind and humility.

Song Jiang's performance initially won Li Zhong's admiration.

Li Zhong nodded, took a few steps forward and said in a low voice: "The villain fights the tiger general Li Zhong, from Erlong Mountain. ”

As soon as Song Jiang heard the name of the wanted criminal and the tiger general, he actually knew which part of the person was coming.

This person is really the person of Chao Tianwang, and he should have come to thank him for reporting the news at that time.

With a number in his heart, Song Jiang nodded with a smile: "It's noon, if my brother doesn't dislike it, please go with Xiaoke to drink a few glasses of water and wine to quench your thirst and have some light meals by the way."

Li Zhong hugged his fists and said, "I just want to bother." ”

The three of them were walking, and suddenly heard someone calling from afar: "Song Zhusi, dare you have another Jianghu guest to visit?" ”

As soon as Song Jiang heard the voice, his heart suddenly burst, secretly resentful and vigilant, but his face was full of smiles. (To be continued.) )
