Tomorrow is 515, the anniversary of the starting point, and the day with the most benefits. In addition to the gift bag and school bag, this time's "515 Red Envelope Flip" must be seen, how can there be a reason not to grab the red envelope, set the alarm clock high~

Zhao Yue said: "What does Erlong Mountain have now?"

There were no more than 30,000 or 40,000 There will be no more than a dozen officers, and the weapons and equipment are insufficient and not comparable to those of officers and men. Money and food are even more rootless.

Once King Chao Tianwang relied on the cavalry and made too much trouble, making the emperor feel that Erlong Mountain was a serious threat to his country, he attached great importance to it, mobilized heavy troops to besiege and attack, and with Cai Jing's support and resolutely exterminated, how could Erlong Mountain resist? ”

Gongsun Sheng and the others thought about it and shook their heads together.

With the current strength of Erlongshan, bully the Qingzhou army, make a small fight, and confront the imperial army?

I don't have that confidence.

The strength of the generals is far from enough.

has no strength to repel the heavy troops of the imperial court, so he can only rely on natural danger to defend it. In this way, the officers and soldiers were trapped just because Erlongshan could not get food from the outside, so they trapped Erlongshan to death.

Zhao Yue said: "Therefore, it must be developed in a low-key manner.

If you don't attack the city and directly destroy the rule of the Great Song Dynasty in Qingzhou, don't let Murong Yande worry too much, that is, don't let the emperor pay attention to it too early.

Repelled the encirclement and suppression of the Qingzhou soldiers again and again, and then repelled the Murong prefect who used the military power of the Jingdong Road in his hands, and asked for reinforcements from other states, gathered many leaders, trained a strong army, and gradually stabilized and strengthened the strength, and developed, so that he could meet the challenge of heavy encirclement and suppression. ”

"Now is not the time for Erlongshan to make a big fuss and be in the limelight.

Tian Hu and his ilk lived happily, but Erlong Mountain was destroyed first. How else did he use Song Jiang to recruit rebels and gather strength to exterminate Tian Hu and others? ”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Zhao Yue glanced at the five people. said: "Right now, for us, we either don't let Erlong Mountain quickly assemble a large number of war horses." Your goal of going north this time has failed; Either you don't let Erlong Mountain have horses, you can immediately match the manpower who can fight with horses, and make trouble in Shandong with cavalry. In order to develop in the long run, horses must be matched. Let Erlongshan train more cavalry, so that they can be used to resist foreign enemies in the future or be sent out with Song Jiang to exterminate Tian Hu and other thugs. ”

"Therefore, the current manpower of Erlong Mountain, who has already trained the initial horse combat ability, cannot stay in Erlong Mountain."

"Tian Hu and Wang Qing must be allowed to make a big fuss, so big that they threaten the Great Song Jiangshan, Cai Jing and other traitors can't hide it if they want to, the imperial court focuses on cleaning up Tian Hu and Wang Qing, and Erlongshan gets a chance to breathe and grow and becomes the fourth big Kou. to be able to strike later. ”

"In my opinion, if there are still a large number of skilled riders in Erlong Mountain, you have to think of more to transfer them, so that Chao Tianwang lacks cavalry skills, and has to re-train his skilled hands, forcing him to develop steadily step by step."

To put it bluntly, in the current Great Song Dynasty, who has to be an anti-thief and a grasshopper, who has to be early. If you are great, you will die early.

Is it true that when there is no one in the Great Song Dynasty, hundreds of thousands of Western troops are vegetarians?

No matter how powerful the grass coars are, if they play hard with the Western Army that has been milled out of a hundred battles. It is only in ashes.

Zhao Yue would never allow the precious strength of the Western army to be consumed in the civil war to kill his own people.

From this, he also thought that the Cangbei Army commanded by the eldest brother has increasingly become a strong army of the Great Song Dynasty. If the mainland government is unable to exterminate the people of Erlongshan, I am afraid that the eldest brother's Sizhou military horses will definitely be transferred to the mainland to clean up Erlongshan.

That couldn't be worse. The overall layout was completely ruined. All the hard work was in vain.

Alas. In fact, it is best to be able to subdue Chao Gai and let Chao Gai be an understanding person. The two sides cooperated tacitly to complete the plan.

It's a pity that this person is a hero, but he is too heroic.

If he doesn't taste the fiasco of the struggle for power, he doesn't know that he is not the suitable leader of the huge military group, and he doesn't know that Song Jiang's ascent to the mountain will inevitably transform Erlongshan from a simple buddy righteous military group to a political group, and he himself is only a short man in politics, and he is only worthy of being Song Jiang's stepping stone, so he will not be discouraged and lose his ambition and confidence to be the lord and bow his head honestly.

Zhao Yue said and spoke, but he made himself clear, eliminated his guilt, and strengthened his determination to weaken Erlong Mountain.

is not to let Chao Gai have the ability to get up and die early, forcing him to honestly guard the foundation of Erlong Mountain and give Song Jiang room for development.

"Mr. Yiqing, brothers, if you understand what I said, don't feel guilty anymore.

As long as you protect King Chao Tian, don't let him die in the political struggle of Erlong Mountain in a daze, and let him have a good home with his subordinates who follow him, this is righteousness, and this is worthy of this fate and affection. That's what sworn brothers should do. ”

"To do big things, we must focus on goals and results, and don't pay too much attention to some small means in the details."

Gongsun Sheng, Li Zhong, Zhou Tong, Du Qian, and Song Wan also figured it out, and their faces looked good.

Gongsun Sheng said: "Childe, don't worry, I will try my best to appease the Heavenly King not to be blindly optimistic and reckless, so that Erlongshan can develop steadily after Song Jiang joins, help Song Jiang recruit Long Na to rebel, and keep the Heavenly King safe when it is time to split and destroy Tian Hu and other evil careerists." ”

The other four heroes also expressed their positions.

Zhao Yue remembered that Chao Gai died under the arrow.

Chao Gai is a brave general, brave, belligerent, unwilling to be angry, too bold, easy to act impulsive and reckless, on the battlefield to charge ahead, like to take the lead, the performance is too eye-catching, and not sensitive to arrows, it is easy to encounter cold arrow plots.

These people who are loyal to Chao Gai are not the ones who can protect Chao Gai from poisoned arrows on the battlefield. They do not understand or are not proficient in archery, and their sensitivity to bows and arrows is too low. It is necessary to arrange for individuals to enter Erlong Mountain and protect Chao Gai against cold arrows.

Who is suitable?

Hua Rong?

Zhao Yue shook his head.

Hua Rong's sharpshooter battlefield is dealing with foreign enemies, and it is necessary to arrange for the eldest brother to be by his side to protect the eldest brother in the battlefield command, and at the same time supplement the forces of the generals of the Cheongju Army more comprehensively, and strengthen the control, training, and combat effectiveness of the Cheongju Army.

Moreover, even if he is arranged to enter Erlong Mountain, with Song Jiang, who has a good relationship with Hua Rong, stirring up harmony in it, and Chao Gai and Hua Rong, who is arrogant and elegant, have a bad temper, Hua Rong will definitely not be able to become Chao Gai's confidant, and he will not be able to provide protection anytime and anywhere.

Besides, Hua Rong is a relative in the family and became a thief. It must have become a traitor in the DPRK and China, and even framed the handle of the eldest brother. It only adds to trouble and weakness.

Hua Rong has a young wife and a young son, and he can't let his family live in a dangerous and turbulent den of thieves.

Zhao Yue pondered for a while. I feel that I can only arrange for the New Year.

Wan Qi is rude and uncivilized, similar to the red-haired ghost Liu Tang, he must have Chao Gai's appetite, he has the ability, he is alert, he can enter Chao Gai's eyes, and he has nothing to do with the other leaders of Erlong Mountain, he has no ties, and he can become Chao Gai's henchman. More dedicated to protecting Chao Gai, it is the most suitable person.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yue immediately instructed the chief of the guard: "Chanting the scriptures, you quickly go to Jeju Island by telegram, and order Wan Qi Danian and Pang Wanchun to finish learning archery, and immediately return to Cangzhou, and practice sword and martial arts in Zhuangshang while being the head of archery." ”

Wang chanted in response, and was just about to leave.

"Wait."

Zhao Yue called him. He also said: "Let that doorman Yang Bao on the village be the personal servant of the New Year." I think it's also suitable to be an apprentice. ”

When 'Ma Wangye' went to Zhaozhuang to do something, this Yang Baonian was young but had good eyesight, was clever and loyal, and left a deep impression on Zhao Yue, and he had the intention to promote and reuse it at that time. Let Liu Wen arrange someone to secretly observe and see if it is the same as it is on the outside. It turns out that the young man is really good, and now there are suitable seats and opportunities for growth and meritorious service, so Zhao Yue took advantage of Yang Bao.

"Let Yang Bao take care of the big year. By the way, learn the skills and wait for the right time. Follow Danian to Erlong Mountain and be responsible for protecting Chao Tianwang. Beware of someone deliberately stealing arrows on the battlefield to kill the king. You can also run errands and be responsible for liaison with us. ”

Wang Nianjing hurriedly left.

Gongsun Sheng, Li Zhong, Zhou Tong, Du Qian, and Song Wan heard it clearly, and saw that Zhao Yue really cared for King Chao, not hypocritically and pretending to care about it, and they all showed joy.

They are essentially heroes in the rivers and lakes, and they value righteousness and sincerity the most.

Zhao Yue is so attentive, which is what makes them really down-to-earth.

Zhao Yue arranged the protection of Chao Gai, and the worries that had been worried about Chao Gai for a long time were also relaxed.

"Winter is over, so it's easy to get around and move. I estimate that Song Jiang should also take the people of Shejiaoling to Erlong Mountain. ”

"Erlongshan's loss of manpower this time can be made up from Shejiao Ridge. It was a group of rebellious officers and soldiers, and many of them could ride horses. We must try to get as many of the existing good riders as possible from Erlong Mountain, so as to reduce the cavalry strength of Erlong Mountain to the greatest extent. ”

"Mr. Yiqing, the horses can be sent a thousand and eight horses first, and you inform the king of Chao to send a good rider to receive them, and send them back to Erlong Mountain together with the payment, and then return to receive the second batch. Let Tianwang and Wu Yong see the real thing, see your results, be happy, and support you more to transfer people. The letter also explained the difficulty of getting horses by the way, and pointed out that people should be sacrificed, and first lay a foundation in the hearts of the two Erlongshan masters. ”

Gongsun Sheng agreed, and immediately wrote a letter and sent his henchmen back to Erlong Mountain.

Zhao Yue glanced at Zhou Tong, Du Qian, and Song Wan.

These three people, Zhou Tong has an active temperament, a bit of a personality of two or five, loves to talk and make trouble, has a fast mouth, and his expression is revealed on his face, he has something in his heart, and he is revealed in his expression, and it is easy to be seen by the shrewd Song Jiang and other people with a heart, if they seize the opportunity to use clever words such as pouring wine, they may ask for tricks. Moreover, it is undoubtedly difficult for a person with this kind of character to keep his mouth shut and keep it a secret for a long time.

The other two are older, down-to-earth and steady, not in the limelight, and don't like to talk, they are old scalpers who are bored and do things, but they are not smart enough, they are not scheming enough, and they want to play heart-to-heart with Song Jiang and others, they are undoubtedly not opponents at all, and they are easy to show their feet.

These three are not inherently spies.

Gongsun Sheng and Li Zhong are not a problem, they can continue to stay in Erlongshan to do things, but Zhou, Du, and Song San will still be transferred out of this opportunity.

"Song Jiang is going up the mountain. With the lords of the Snake Horn Ridge and the heroes that Song Jiang got from the Chai officials to join Erlong Mountain, the number of leaders on the mountain will quadruple at once, and the backbone leaders can also be greatly supplemented, and the strength of the leaders will be greatly improved.

I see that the three elder brothers Zhou Tong, Du Qian, and Song Wan reasonably broke away from Erlong Mountain in the name of sacrificing horses, and from then on, they worked in the Northern Army in a down-to-earth manner, and joined the first battalion of the Mabu Army of the flower monk Lu Zhishen. The great monk is a very bold and happy person, and the three elder brothers can live happily under him, and by the way, they should also become a family and enjoy the warmth of the family.

Let's take the initiative to vacate the seat, so that Song Jiang's people can take the position. Weakening the power of Chao Tianwang's lineage, so that he can see Song Jiang's threat to him, can also make the Heavenly King a little vigilant in time, so as not to be easily fooled and played to death.

In this way, it may be possible to make Chao Tianwang realize that he can't actually play a powerful political group as soon as possible, return to the Fu as soon as possible, take the initiative to cooperate with our layout and plan, fulfill Song Jiang's ambitions and goals, and then take the opportunity to take advantage of the situation, which will greatly save trouble. ”

After discussing, Gongsun Sheng, Li Zhong, Zhou Tong, and Du Qian hid in the Hou Mansion and pretended to take people to Liaoguo to get horses.

Song Wan stayed in the inn and waited for the people from Erlong Mountain to come and pick up the horses and silver, and then try to fool and leave some people to get rid of them......

Let's talk about Erlong Mountain.

Wu Yong, the military advisor, couldn't help but be overjoyed when he read the letter written by Gongsun Sheng.

"Brother Tianwang, Mr. Yiqing wants us to send our brother over to pick up the horse and the payment."

"Oh?"

Chao Gai smiled: "In the past few days, I'm still worried that something will not go well over there, something will happen, but I didn't expect it to be good news again." Tell me, how many horses have you gotten on? ”

Wu Yongshu smiled smugly: "The letter didn't say the specific number, but it must rely on thousands." ”

Chao Gai was overjoyed when he heard this, and felt that the decision to get the horse that he had discussed at the beginning was right.

Nearly a thousand horses!

A real war horse!

How much of a treasure is this for cottages?

With these horses alone, Erlongshan has also become an existence that the officers and soldiers of the Shandong Prefecture do not dare to face. What's more, there is a second batch, a third batch, can get more war horses and form cavalry, but I am afraid that the dog emperor in the capital will not be able to sit still, and he will be frightened in his dreams.

"Haha-"

Chao Gai's eyebrows flew and laughed: "You still have to be bold and generous to do things, and you have to dare to do it when you see the opportunity." Wasn't that how we robbed the Birthday Gang in the first place?

What do we have with these mud legs?

No power, no money, no power, nothing but life. No matter how brave and courageous you are, you can only honestly suffer from poverty and oppression.

You have to dare to fight and gamble to win.

The small family is angry, shrinking back and shrinking, seeing the opportunity but not daring to do it, not daring to let go of it, wasting the good opportunity given by God in vain, how can it be a big thing?

With a real war horse, we don't have to be trapped in Erlong Mountain, and the lightest one is not to toss Shandong and not give up. Let those dog officials be frightened every day, and they can't sleep at night, to see that they dare to wantonly exploit and oppress the people. ”

The two of them were happy for a long time, imagining a bright future, and then they retracted their thoughts.

Chao Gai praised Gongsun Sheng's ability, Li Zhong and other brothers for their ability, and did not forget to ask: "What difficulties did Mr. Yiqing mention in his letter?" ”

Wu Yongyang said: "I didn't mention any major difficulties, but my heart hurt and I had to pay a lot of brothers' lives. ”

Chao Gai also knew that there must be sacrifices to snatch horses from the hands of Khitan barbarians.

He sighed and said, "If you want to get it, you have to give." Death is inevitable. Still, it's worth it. ”

"There is no advantage for horses, we will confront the officers and soldiers, there is no killer weapon, there is no weapon advantage, we can only fight to the death, and many brothers will die. With horses, you can easily rush through the enemy, and you can reduce too many casualties. In short, the brothers sacrificed either here or there. This reckoning is still to rob the barbarian's horse, kill the barbarian who has bullied our Han people for too long, and die a more glorious death. ”

Wu Yong nodded in agreement and said, "Then quickly send Liu Tang and Zheng Tianshou to bring another thousand cavalry to fully support Mr. Yiqing, and strive to get enough of the war horse at one time." ”

Chao Gai nodded in agreement, but said, "A thousand is not enough." Send more, so that Mr. Yiqing has more manpower and can do things freely. I'll think I'll send another two thousand five hundred. Anyway, the Qingzhou army doesn't check it. ”
