Chapter 29 Each has his own calculations

"Don't have a clue about that woman yet?"

A middle-aged man had a gloomy face, looking at Cheng Wanli opposite, with a hint of impatience in his tone.

"Brother Murong, I don't think you need to be in a hurry." Cheng Wanli took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "She has her own plan, she just runs to the ends of the earth, and she has to come back obediently in less than a month!"

"A month?" Murong Yanda frowned and sneered, "Do you know that once our plan is known to outsiders, it will be a great crime to exterminate the Nine Clans!"

Although Murong Yanda's voice was not loud, he was obviously blaming himself for not doing things well!

If it weren't for Lu Cheng's waste, Lao Tzu wouldn't be available now, and there was no way to take Dong Ping's house!

Cheng Wanli scolded secretly, and the scene fell silent for a while.

"Murong, you don't have to worry about this." Cheng Wanli stood up and said with a serious face: "I can guarantee that this time it will be peaceful."

Murong Yanda was silent for a moment, then stood up and walked to the window, not saying a word for a long time.

Dongping City, in the Metropolitan Prison's Mansion.

"I said Master Zhu, no, it's the acting capital eunuch, now is the best time, you just sit back and watch?"

Hu Cheng Xu An stood at the bottom of the steps, and the two looked at Zhu Wu, who was speechless, and they both complained.

A few days ago, this person held Dong Ping's letter, saying that Dong Ping asked him to take over as the acting military supervisor of Dongping Mansion, Hu Cheng naturally didn't believe it, but after seeing Dong Ping's seal, he had to give up his position as acting capital supervisor.

It's a bit ironic in this world, the dignified state soldiers and horses are all overseers, and they are like they are sealed, and they change positions here at will!

The reason for this is that the government of the Northern Song Dynasty was already deserted in the last years, the emperor was mediocre and incompetent, and Gao Yu Tong Guan and his ilk were busy fighting for power with Li Gangsu and Yuanjing all day long, how to manage the local administration?

Like the prefectures and counties near Henan, they can still maintain absolute control, and in a slightly remote place like Dongping City, as long as the movement is not too big, what is the fuss about the internal struggle for power among local officials?

Zhu Wu shook the feather fan in his hand, his brows stretched and he smiled: "Don't be impatient, the two generals, there is a question below, if you two can answer it, how about I give up this military power?"

Xu An said in a strange manner: "The eunuch spoke, and the last general dared to disobey?" It's just that the superior Jinkou Yuyan said, but don't regret it! ”

Zhu Wu smiled: "Then it will be straight to the point, do you know what way this journey is in the court?"

The two were stunned for a while, they joined the army in Dongping for less than two years, but they were just a grassroots non-commissioned officer, how could they know Cheng Wanli's life experience?

"This man is the old disciple of the Privy Council." Zhu Wu said indifferently: "I'm not afraid of this person, but now that you use the sword soldiers, are you preparing to be the enemy of the entire imperial court?"

Hu Cheng and Xu An suddenly had nothing to say, yes, they came today to try to use both soft and hard, and take advantage of Cheng Wanli's trip to Qingzhou, so that Zhu Wu sent troops to directly seize this Taishou position!

It stands to reason that as long as you can do it fast enough to get rid of some of Cheng Wanli's personal soldiers, you can seize power with thunder!

However, now that I know that this Cheng Wanli has Tong Guan's way, if the war starts, as long as this guy reports to Tong Guan, no matter how incompetent the court is, this privy envoy in charge of the Western Army can destroy their rabble at any time!

Hu Cheng thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "It's me who is reckless, if there is any good plan, please tell the governor."

Zhu Wu put down the teacup in his hand, sat back on the chair, and said with a calm face: "Nine words, accumulate grain, prepare weapons, and train soldiers for a long time!"

"In short, before Dong Dujian returns, there can't be any problems with this city!"

After listening to Zhu Wu's words, the two of them were impressed in their hearts, this person's insight was indeed far above their own!

When Zhu Wu first came to Dongping, he personally went outside the city every day to supervise the training of the army, and after more than a month of training, there were still about 1,200 people left in the city.

The foundation of these people is not bad, Zhu Wu reorganized these people into two battalions, with Hu Cheng Xu An as the battalion commander, Shi Jin, Chen Da and Yang Chun in charge of the remaining cavalry composed of more than 200 people, after all, among these people, only these three people have the most experience in horse warfare.

And Lu Cheng, that waste, since the last time he planned to go undercover to steal intelligence but was rehabilitated by Dong Ping, Cheng Wanli has been unable to trust him absolutely. As soon as Zhu Wu came, this person felt that the opportunity had come, so he presented a lot of information, but who was the opponent of the Divine Machine Military Division?

Cheng Wanli received those false information, and directly cut off Lu Cheng's funds in a fit of anger, Lu Cheng was angry, and took a few personal soldiers to the street to get angry with the hawkers, but was caught by Shi Jin, who came back from military training!

This soft bone can bully the people, as soon as it is beaten, its original form will be exposed, and punishment is indispensable for violating discipline on the cusp of this storm, a hundred military sticks will go down, this waste will cry and shout non-stop, and the whole process has not been broken!

After the fight, Shi Jin thought that this person had a bad attitude, so he directly threw the rice bucket to the Huotou Army, and engaged in the errand of feeding pigs all day long!

Cheng Wanli learned the news, so he could only scold and smash things, no way, what else could he do if he was knocked out of his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach?

Since Wu Yi heard that Dong Ping was vindictive, he was so frightened that he abandoned his brother-in-law directly and ran to Cangzhou with his family!

It's okay now, there is no general available in the Taishou Mansion at all!

Back to the question of officer setup.

Zhu Wu's arrangement can be said to be unclever, after all, he is a newcomer, if he occupies all the positions, it is obviously irrational to squeeze Hu Cheng and the two of them out of the circle of power.

And as long as these people are tempered by a few more battles, their combat effectiveness will be able to come up, and there is no saying that the battlefield is the best place for military training.

"Okay, it's time for us to go out of the city and see how the Shi Jin brothers are training." Zhu Wu smiled, stood up and walked out the door.

Shi Jin and Wang Jin have studied art for half a year, and they also have a little understanding of the method of military training, and Zhu Wu is now handing over a team of 1,000 people to him, also to test this young man.

Hu Cheng and Xu An nodded, and also followed Zhu Wu on the horse, and the three of them galloped away outside the city.

Jeju, Supo Yangsan.

"Wan'er, why are you here?" Dong Ping was stunned when he saw the figure outside the door.

The fierce cold wind poured in from outside the door, and Dong Ping hurriedly invited the two into the house first: "It's so late, what's the matter?"

Before the words fell, his gaze stayed on a woman behind Cheng Wan'er.

This woman is about twenty years old, slender and tall, with delicate facial features, and a slightly cold face that adds a bit of charm under the light of candlelight, but her usual moving eyes look a little dull at the moment.

There is a poem "Remembering Jiangnan" praised:

Twenty-eight beauties, with fine hair like jade, and delicate faces

The eyes are like autumn water, and the posture is delicate, and the appearance is like a fairy

The twin knives rolled up the mille-feuille snow and immediately flew to the enemy cold

Judging from her age, this woman should be Hu Sanniang.

Dong Ping recalled in his mind the original Water Margin, Hu Sanniang had already surrendered to Liangshan, but was killed by Li Kui, a brute, and later forced to marry Wang Ying by Song Jiang, who could be regarded as a woman with a tragic fate.

Women like Hu Sanniang are just a microcosm of the tragic fate of women in the Water Margin, and even in the entire feudal society.

"Brother Dong Ping, you promise me one thing first." Cheng Wan'er's words interrupted Dong Ping's train of thought, "You...... Hey, what are you looking at?"

"Why, I can't walk when I see a woman?" Cheng Wan'er clasped her hands in front of her chest, with a slightly dissatisfied look on her face.

"Where, I'm wondering why the girl came so late." Dong Ping coughed, and said, "If my guess is right, Your Excellency is Hu Sanniang?"

Hu Sanniang smiled reluctantly: "Brother Dong recognizes the little sister?"

Dong Ping said with a smile: "Yizhang Qinghu Sanniang Double Sword Martial Arts are strong, who doesn't know about the rivers and lakes?" In addition, I am the commander of the soldiers and horses of Dongping Mansion, and I am the two-gun general Dong Ping, you can call me Dong Ping. ”

Dong Ping has already made up his mind, he must take Hu Sanniang away today, watching her continue to suffer in Liangshan, he can't do it himself!

Hu Sanniang exclaimed: "Dong Ping, you are Dong Ping's brother?" You ......"

"Ahem, okay, you have to have a degree of hustle and bustle!" Cheng Wan'er coughed twice, and said in a dissatisfied tone: "Isn't it time for me to say a few words?"

"Is it all about the crowd?" Dong Ping smiled in his heart, "Why do I think some people are jealous?"
