Under the incense burner peak, Hong Hao was tied up and locked in a simple cell by Wuhuada, and scolded for a long time and no one paid attention. At this moment, I heard the sound of footsteps outside, and I couldn't help but look up.

Seeing that the man and woman who were fighting with him came here, they were about to scold, but they saw Zhang Meng following behind the two of them, and swallowed back the dirty words that came to their mouths.

The two Zhuang Ding opened the door, Zhang Meng walked in, and Tong Qi and Ruan Hongyi stayed outside to wait.

Zhang Meng untied the rope for Hong Hao with his own hands, and said, "Brother, I made you suffer!" ”

Hong Hao's face was full of doubts, and he said, "General, why is this?" ”

Looking at Hong Hao's puzzled eyes, Zhang Meng's face was full of shame, and said: "After you were captured, in order to save the lives of my brothers, I made a gambling contract and duel with the owner, but I was unexpectedly defeated by the owner. ”

Hong Hao's doubts turned into surprise, and said, "That yellow-mouthed child is a grass coward, what kind of ability can he have?" It is just a trick to catch us! ”

"Presumptuous!" Zhang Meng shouted, "I have served the owner of the village as the lord, how can I allow you to insult the owner of the village at will!" You are also wise and brave, don't you understand that 'soldiers, tricks', the two sides fight for life and death, do everything, how to say tricks! ”

"Just with him, a teenager, no tricks, how can he win you in a duel!"

"The owner's martial arts are world-famous, you can't guess, I am convinced! The owner of the village saw that you were brave and good at fighting, and cherished your talent very much, so he specially ordered me to persuade you to surrender, what do you say? ”

Hong Hao sighed in his heart, thinking that I, Hong, a hero, have not yet been displayed in my martial arts, can I die at the hands of this grass coward? And save your life, take one step at a time, if not, what can he do!

He immediately bowed down and replied: "The subordinates are only the general's head, and everything is subject to the general's arrangement!" ”

Zhang Meng smiled and said, "That's very good! ”

At noon, Zheng Liuyi personally set up a banquet to entertain Zhang Meng and Hong Hao, and Ruan Xu, Tong Qi and his wife, Zhan Peng, and Jiang Tong accompanied him.

During the banquet, Zheng Liuyi's attitude was sincere and respectful, without the arrogance of a victor at all, and he chatted with everyone about the world and the north and the south. The elegance of his conversation and the wide range of his involvement made Zhang Meng and Hong Hao speechless.

It's amazing that a thief can have such knowledge. After three rounds of drinking, Hong Hao was still dissatisfied in his heart, although the owner of the village had a wide range of knowledge, he might not really be able to win the lieutenant in martial arts, so he took advantage of the strength of the wine, and saw that when Zheng Liuyi stretched out the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, he hit Zheng Liuyi's wrist like lightning.

When Zhang Meng saw it, his face changed color slightly, and he wanted to stop it, but it was too late.

How could Zheng Liuyi not know Hong Hao's thoughts, smiled slightly, shook his wrist, and while avoiding this blow, he put his chopsticks on Hong Hao's chopsticks and said, "This beef is good, why don't General Hong try it!" ”

At that moment, he used his internal force to exert his stickiness and stretched out his chopsticks to the pot of beef.

Hong Haoyun dragged it twice, but he didn't break free, so he had to take a piece of beef back and put it in the bowl. At this time, he knew that Zhang Meng was defeated by Zheng Liu's hand, and it was not a lie.

This person is extremely martial and has always respected people whose martial arts are higher than his own. He and Zhang Meng and hundreds of captured soldiers are still alive at the moment, all thanks to the small owner of the village, and the small owner is so polite and virtuous, it is even more commendable, Hong Hao is red at the moment, got up and knelt on one knee, and said: "The lord is above, and his subordinates have eyes that don't know Mount Tai, please punish him!" ”

Zheng Liuyi smiled and said: "Where does the general say, when he enters this mountain gate, he is his own brother." Tomorrow, let your parents and wife come to the mountain to reunite with you! ”

"Thank you, lord!" Hong Hao bowed and saluted.

Zhang Meng is familiar with Hong's temperament, looked at it on the side, and said in his heart: This product is completely convinced, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to let him go down the mountain!

After lunch, Zheng Liuyi: "Captain Zhang, these soldiers should stay on the mountain, and bring them back for fear that the news will leak out, which will be unfavorable to you and General Hong." ”

Zhang Meng said: "Everything is arranged by the lord!" ”

"Good! Then stay on the mountain. Starting today, my Liuyi Villa will expand a Xuanwu battalion, and the commander of the Xuanwu battalion, Zhan Peng and Jiang Tong, the director of Ruan Zhuang, will break up these more than 200 surrendered troops, mix them into six companies, and draw out two companies and hand them over to Ruan Zhuang to lead. In addition, 50 capable Zhuang Ding were selected to follow Zhang Duwei back to Jiangzhou. ”

As soon as Zheng Liuyi arrived on this Jin Yun Mountain, he always did things neatly and neatly, without dragging his feet.

Seeing Zhang Meng and Hong Hao's shouting, Ruan Xu and the others no longer shy away from it, and only listened to Ruan Xu: "Thank you for your trust!" ”

Zhan Peng and Jiang Tong said: "Yes, lord, my subordinates will do it immediately!" ”

Seeing that the people in the villa were acting vigorously and resolutely, Hong Hao was envious and said, "Lord, my subordinates also want to stay on the mountain!" ”

Who knew that Zheng Liuyi shook his head and said: "If you really follow me, you will return to the barracks with Zhang Duwei and build me a team that can fight well." The mountains and mountains echo each other, so that the villa can be managed better. The fifty Zhuang Ding I brought back are all my good brothers, and I must not treat them badly. ”

The implication is that these people will be promoted in the Jiangzhou army, and the meaning could not be more obvious.

Zhang Meng took the lead in nodding and said: "Yes, yes, please rest assured!" ”

After everything was done, Zheng Liuyi was in a good mood, regardless of the scorching heat, he went down the mountain to inspect the grain fields and vegetable fields, and he shook his head when he saw it, and had to admit that the farming technology of this era was also very backward.

So he taught the entourage planting techniques, how to open ridges and cultivate soil, how to dig ditches and drain water, how to raise seedlings in sections, and so on.

In this era, little attention was paid to the cultivation of green vegetables (Xia Xiang) radish, resulting in very few cultivation of these two kinds of vegetables native to China, Zheng Liuyi taught them that Xia Xiang should be planted by the water, watered every day, and sown for a few days to eat, without waiting for the vegetable seedlings to grow, so that the shortage can be solved.

Back at the villa, Zheng Liuyi ordered someone to take a pen and paper, and recorded when the Chinese cabbage (Chinese cabbage), cranberry (kohlrabi), radish and so on were planted, and how to pickle them if they couldn't finish eating, and handed them to Ruan Xu, and ordered him to arrange people to plant according to the season, so as not to miss the agricultural time.

On the second day, Zhang Meng and Honghao's families were taken to the mountain, and Zheng Liuyi ordered people to arrange two clean courtyards under the incense burner peak for them to live in. Hong Hao was elated when he saw it, and he had no worries from then on, while Zhang Meng had a bitter speech and a feeling of being held hostage.

Zheng Liuyi said to the two: "The two of you will return to the barracks tomorrow, and if it is too late, I am afraid that something will happen." ”

The two of them even claimed that it was, saying, "That's how it should be! ”

Hearing that Jin Yunshan was fighting with the officers and soldiers, Gao Sheng hurried to the scene with two hundred minions, but when he arrived in front of the mountain, he saw that the wind and waves were calm, and he knew that the Liuyi Villa had won a big victory.

After entering the villa and seeing Zheng Liuyi, Gao Shengyao arched his hand and said: "Brother Fool got the news late, missed the big battle, and now he can only come to ask for a glass of celebration wine!" ”

Zheng Liuyi laughed, took Gao Sheng's arm and walked into the meeting hall, Gao Sheng asked quietly: "The soldiers of Jiangzhou have always been strong, how did the virtuous brother manage to wipe out their entire army?" ”

"A thousand days of training soldiers is a thousand days of training, it's okay!" Seeing Gao Sheng's confused face, Zheng Liuyi continued: "Strong soldiers are all trained, and only by training hard in peacetime, attacking and defending in a certain degree, can they survive a hundred battles in wartime." ”

During this trip to Jin Yunshan, Zheng Liuyi gained a lot, not only adding more than 200 more than 200 well-trained soldiers, but also adding more than 500 people's equipment, hundreds of strong crossbows, and more than 30 horses, which greatly increased the strength of the villa.
