Volume 1 The Beginning of the Late Han Dynasty Chapter 21 The Zhu Wu Polemic
The next day, Song Jiang beat the drum and raised the tent, attracting the generals to enter the lobby to discuss matters.
The deliberators were: Song Jiang and Song Gongming, the commander of the Shouzhang County Commander Guard, Lu He, the deputy commander of the Shouzhang County Cheng Guard, Wu Yong Wu Jialiang, the left division of the Shouzhang Guard, Gongsun Sheng, Gongsun Yiqing, the right division of the Guard, Zhu Wu, the counselor of the Guard, the first battalion of the Guards Horse Army, the Leopard Head Lin Chong of the Guards Training Battalion, the second battalion of the Guards Horse Army was the Thunderbolt Fire Qin Ming, the third battalion of the Guards Horse Army was the double whip Hu Yanzhuo, and the fourth battalion of the Guards Horse Army was the double gun General Dong Ping, The first battalion of the Escort Army is the general of the flower monk Lu Zhishen, the second battalion of the Escort Army is the general Wu Song, the special warfare army of the Escort Army is the black whirlwind Li Kui, the special warfare mountain battalion of the Escort Army is the general Xie Zhen and the treasure, the escort army is the general Dai Zong, and the escort medical aid battalion is the general Hu Sanniang. The rest of the participating generals also include Li Ying, the beautiful bearded man Zhu Tong, Zhang Qing without feather arrows, Xu Ning, the golden gunner, Suo Chao, the red-haired ghost Liu Tang, the nine-patterned dragon Shi Jin, Mu Hong, the winged tiger Lei Heng, the sick Suo Yang Xiong, and the desperate San Lang Shixiu.
As soon as the heroes sat down, Song Shijiang said in the middle: "Brothers, everything is hard, and now I Liangshan has taken a solid first step since entering the Later Han Dynasty. Here, I, Song Jiang, thank you to all the brothers, and I will also reward you for your meritorious deeds. Now that we have a large number of soldiers in Liangshan, sufficient grain and grass, and high morale, it is a good time to take the second step. ”
"The second step of the strategy: siege the city and seize the land, recruit troops, and respond to the alliance of the princes. It is now the end of October of the sixth year of Zhongping, and the first month of next year is the time when the princes of the Eighteenth Road will meet the alliance. ”
Li Kui shouted: "Talking about a bird, brother, you say it, I listen to you." It's just that when you go into battle, don't be missing, and I'll be done. yes, brother. ”
"Shut up, you are a black guy, and if you use foul language, you will be expelled, and you will not be allowed to fight in the future." Song Jiang reprimanded. Frightened, Li Kui smiled, quickly covered his mouth, and made the rest of the heroes laugh.
At this time, Zhu Wu, the counselor of the Guards, the Shenji Military Division, came out of the ranks, and Zhu Wu, who was thirty-two or thirteen years old, wore a silk turban, but wore a pair of iron leaf plum blossom armor, and was also literary and martial. He clenched his fists and said: "Brother Zhongjia, I have few small people in Shouzhang County, it is really difficult to perform, time is not waiting for me, for the sake of people, horses, food and grass, it is imperative to attack the city and occupy the county." ”
Zhu Wu then looked at the crowd and asked, "May I ask the elder brothers, is it appropriate for us to attack the remnants of the Yellow Turban, or is it appropriate to attack the Hou Han official army?" ”
"It's appropriate to attack the Yellow Turban thieves. First, it can be righteous, second, it can quickly win the people's attachment, and third, it will not be conspicuous. Wu shook the feather fan lightly and replied.
"Ask again, is it appropriate to attack Liangshan Zuo near Shou Zhang Zuo, or is it appropriate to attack and sneak attack and plunder the land from afar?" Zhu Wu asked again.
"Since it is appropriate to be close to the left, the purpose of our army is to recruit troops and horses, expand the military strength, what is the use of attacking and plundering land from afar?" Wu Yong replied again.
"But you want to capture the state and county?" Zhu Wu asked the third.
"No, if you capture the state and county, the world will pay attention, and it will be contrary to our strategy." Wu Yong was shocked.
"So." Zhu Wu put down his hands and said to the group with a smile, "In this way, we can decide on the city to be plundered." Brothers, please listen to me. ”
"On the one hand, the remnants of the Yellow Turban are troubled in Qingyan and Yanzhou, Qingzhou Road is far away from consideration, Yanzhou is occupied by countless Yellow Turbans, and those who are close to us include Dongpingzhang County, Jibei Yongqiu, and Dongjun Fan County; Second, attacking Dongpingzhang County requires crossing Dongping County without salt, and attacking Yongqiu in Jibei has to cross Dongping County, which is very inappropriate. Fan County, Weidong County, is on the left side of Liangshan, and I Shouzhang is on the right of Liangshan. ”
"The Divine Machine Military Division is indeed the Divine Machine Military Division, such an analysis makes people suddenly start. Just hit Fan County, let Liangshanshou and Zhangfan County be connected as a whole and be my base area. Song Shijiang praised. Sure enough, the meeting is still more open, and the talents will naturally be discovered one by one, which is definitely better than racking your brains and thinking about it alone.
Other Liangshan heroes were also greatly admired. Especially the nine-pattern dragon Shi Jin, this handsome guy rushed up, hugged Zhu Wuxi and said: "Brother Zhu Wu, you can't beat me in terms of fighting, and you are still really good at your head."
Zhu Wu, the Divine Machine Military Master, smiled and said, "However, Fan County has a shortcoming. It is located in the East County, facing the county next to my Dongping Guoshou Zhang, and is not under the command. After occupying it, I don't know how to deal with it, and I don't know how to deal with the county guard of Dongjun. ”
Song Jiang said at this time: "Dongjun Taishou is Qiaomao, one of the princes of the Eighteen Roads in the coming year, and the history books record that this person is very prestigious, and hates treachery. This person has his own arrangement. Let me ask you, how should Fan County be attacked? ”
"My Liangshan brothers are brave, and the remnants of the Yellow Turban are insignificant, but in order to avoid many casualties in the siege of our escort army, we need to set up a small plan." Zhu Wu smiled with his hands behind his back.
"What's the trick, hey, Brother Zhu Wu, you are grinding, can you say no quickly?" Li Kui couldn't stand it anymore and shouted.
"It's easy." Zhu Wu glanced at Li Kui and said, "It's just a little bitter for Brother Li Kui." As long as Brother Li Kui leads your special combat regiment to fight a battle. ”
"Why do you suffer a little bit? I am never afraid of hardship when I fight, and I can fight and go. Li Kui immediately took the bait.
"Two conditions. First, wear tattered clothes; Second, defeat is not allowed to win. Zhu Wu said with a smile.
"Hahaha" The rest of the brothers laughed and looked at Li Kui gloatingly.
"Straight lady thief, I'm afraid it's not to make fun of me, I still play a ball if I lose the battle, I won't go." Li Kui was not happy.
Zhu Wu turned to Song Shijiang and said, "Attracting the Yellow Turban thieves out of the city to fight is the key to this battle. It has to be the Li Kui brothers. When Li Kui is defeated and retreats, the Yellow Turban Army will definitely pursue, and our army will set up an ambush on the retreat road, so that the thief army will be defeated. If the enemy does not pursue, our army can also return to cover the kill, and the enemy army will be defeated. Fan County can easily go down. ”
"Iron Bull, it seems that this battle is none other than you. If you attract the Yellow Turban thieves to fight, you will be credited with a great credit. Song Jiangqiang held back a smile and said.
"I order," Song Shijiang said.
"Yes." The generals stood and bowed.
"Gather the soldiers and horses and march into Fan County. With Li Kui as the vanguard, the city called for war. The rest of the generals will follow me to ambush and kill the yellow turbans. ”
"Order."
