258, Liangshan Bo grain and grass are in an emergency, and the old tricks of the town of Guanxi are repeated (2)
It was night, Zheng Fei was in the house to make up the art of war book, not that Zheng Fei wanted to learn the art of war, but wanted to use this way to familiarize himself with the combat thinking of the ancients, anyway, there is no TV and computer now, and the long night is really too boring.
"Those who make good use of the soldiers, no longer serve in the army, the food is not three years, the ...... is used, because the food is in the enemy, so the army has ...... food," Zheng Fei was comprehending the meaning word by word, only to hear the three knocks on the door suddenly sounded,
Zheng Fei put down the book, looked up and said, "Come in." ”
The door then opened, and a sturdy figure quickly flashed into the room and hugged his fist towards Zheng Fei, "Big leader, junior brother is back." ”
It turned out that this person was none other than Pang Wanchun, and seeing that Pang Wanchun was dressed in a strong suit and dirty, he looked like he had just come back from somewhere.
Zheng Fei asked, "Have you found out clearly?" ”
Pang Wanchun nodded and said, "It has been investigated, there will be a large group of grain and grass transported to it every seven days, and there are about 300 people escorting the grain and grass, of which more than 100 are horsemen, and the other 100 are guards, and the time, route, and number of people are very fixed each time!" In three days, it will be the next day of grain and grass! ”
Zheng Fei's eyes flashed when he heard this, "Okay! Thank you for your hard work, go and rest early, we will leave tomorrow. ”
Pang Wanchun said, "Yes! ”
With that, Pang Wanchun turned around and walked out of the house,
Zheng Fei let out a long sigh of relief and said softly, "Since I want to fight with you sooner or later, let me borrow some food from you first!" ”
After that, Zheng Fei smiled slightly, picked up the military book again and read it, but the heart was no longer in this book, but began to plan the next move.
What is Zheng Fei going to do? Borrow food!
Where to borrow from? In Zengtou City!
Zengtou City? That's right, it's the one who fought with Liangshanbo several times, and it was the Zeng Tou City who shot the then big leader of Liangshanbo "Tuota Heavenly King" Chao Gai with a poisoned arrow!
In the Song Dynasty, the commodity economy was developed, and some grass markets with extremely prosperous commodity trading were formed at many traffic arteries, and some grass markets eventually became administrative units below the county level after development, generally called a certain city, and Zengtou City was such a town.
It's just that this Zengtou City is different from other grass markets, it was not originally called Zengtou City, but a relatively large grass market. Later, a family came here, surnamed Zeng, the head is called Zeng Lane, according to legend, he is a native of Dajin country, strong in martial arts, and his five sons under his knees, Zeng Tu, Zeng Mi, Zeng Suo, Zeng Kui, and Zeng Sheng, known as "Zeng's Five Tigers", all have brute strength, this person came to the Central Plains to do ginseng trading when he was young, and gathered thousands of family wealth. After leading his family to Zengtou City, he saw that this place was prosperous and abnormal, and there was no strong person to resist, so he took root here, gathered a group of people and horses to officially occupy this place, and renamed it Zengtou City.
Because the Zeng family is a foreign national, the local government does not dare to offend, and after they occupy Zengtou City, they bribe the upper and lower government very heavily, and the government turns a blind eye, which makes the scale and power of Zengtou City bigger and bigger, from a grass market, gradually developed into a large population, more than 10,000 military horses, with five big villages of half officials and half bandits, no one dares to provoke for thousands of miles!
Zeng Lane also hired two masters, "Cloud Piercing Arrow" Shi Wengong and "Little Tianbao" Su Ding, to become the head and deputy head of Zengtou City with a sky-high "contract" of 50,000 and 30,000 yuan per year, and trained the people of the five major villages.
Zengtou City is in Lingzhou, Lingzhou is in Gaotang Prefecture, and the distance from this Liangshanbo is not far away, but it is not close, it is originally a well water that does not violate the river water, how did the two of them become mortal enemies?
This starts with a horse, Duan Jingzhu stole a good horse, called "Shine the Night Jade Lion Horse", according to legend, it is the mount of the prince of Dajin Kingdom, and he wanted to give it to Song Jiang to take refuge in Liangshan, who knew that when he went to Zengtou City, he was taken away by the five tigers of the Zeng family, Duan Jingzhu lived in Liangshan and said this, although everyone was angry, but it was nothing, Song Jiang sent the "Shenxing Taibao" Dai Zong to inquire about the news, and he came back and said that Zengtou City wanted to declare that Liangshanbo was swept away, and everyone was caught to go to Tokyo to receive the reward, and everyone was furious.
Especially Chao Gai, Chao Gai was already on the verge of being overturned by Song Jiang at that time, and he was anxious, so he wanted to use this incident to sweep Zengtou City in one fell swoop to establish his authority and consolidate his position as the big leader. Unexpectedly, Chao Gai was poisoned and killed by Shi Wengong's arrow in the face as soon as he went. The two sides then became mortal enemies.
It wasn't until later that the "Jade Qilin" Lu Junyi went to Liangshan and led the Liangshan army and horses to break Zengtou City, and eradicated the Zeng family, Shi Wengong, Su Ding and others.
This is the origin of Zengtou City and the grievances with Liangshanbo.
Zheng Fei tasted the benefits of "eating big households" when he was in Qishan, and one of the three major grain stores in Shezhou made Qishan eat and drink for three years, and now Zheng Fei has occupied Liangshan, if you want to develop externally, Zengtou City is a hurdle that can't be avoided, and the future Jin country will invade on a large scale, and this Zeng family is a big Jin country, it is difficult to guarantee that they will do something at that time.
Therefore, no matter in any way, this Zengtou City is a big rival of Liangshan!
Zheng Fei is actually not as Du Qian thinks, he will only spend and not earn, he has been thinking about the problem of grain and grass, after thinking about it, Zheng Fei set his sights on Zengtou City, which is not far from here, but now Liangshanbo has just started, and there are only hundreds of people, to eat Zengtou City, which has thousands of people and horses, is tantamount to swallowing an elephant with a rat, but it is always okay to borrow some grain and grass from it temporarily.
After all, there are tens of thousands of people in Zengtou City, and the daily food is an astronomical amount, Zheng Fei feels that they will definitely transport grain from outside to inside, and sure enough, a few days ago, Pang Wanchun was sent to investigate and found out their grain transportation rules.
Zheng Fei looked at the book of soldiers, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth,
"Zengtou City...... How can I eat you? ”
