Chapter 52: Li Ying
Seeing that Hu Taigong had sworn to make a wish, Li Ying also stepped forward, stared into Ye Ling's eyes and said in a deep voice: "I, Li Ying, also swear here, in the battle with Zhujiazhuang, I will completely listen to the drive of Lord Ye Dazhai, if I violate it, God will not bless me!" ”
It turned out that when Li Ying heard Du Xing's words, he was shocked at first, and then he could only accept the facts, and now the situation can't help but make his choice, not to mention that he and Du Xing are the master and servant, but in fact, the relationship is like a brother, although he is called the owner, but in fact he is completely a hands-off shopkeeper, and Du Xing is responsible for all affairs.
This time, Du Xing was captured alive by Liangshan's people and released back, and he was also very grateful to Liangshan for this.
Ye Ling was also very happy when he heard this, so that he could completely control the nearly 3,000 men and horses of the Li family and the Hu family, and what he valued even more was Li Ying, the sky-beating eagle.
Li Yingshang Ying Tianguixing, is also an important general at the Tiangang level, although his martial arts cannot be compared with Lin Chong Guan Sheng and other five tiger generals, even with Yang Zhishi Jin and other Eight Biao Cavalry, but he has his own two skills, first, flying knives; Second, make money.
Needless to say, the importance of long-range weapons in the era of cold weapons is self-evident, although Xiao Li Guanghuarong and Zhang Qing, the two top long-range masters, are only among the eight Biao riders, but even the five tiger generals dare not say victory in the face of them, and the latter is directly flying stone to defeat Lin Chong, Hu Yanzhuo, Guan Sheng, and Dong Ping.
And although Li Ying's flying knife is worse than these two great gods, it is also a good addition, so this is definitely a big plus for his combat effectiveness.
In addition, it is to make money, Li Ying is born with a keen sense of smell in terms of money, so he can develop Lijiazhuang to the point that he can be comparable to Hujiazhuang and Zhujiazhuang for decades in just a few years, he delineates the strategic direction, and Duchen is meticulous implementation, the master and servant cooperate very tacitly.
In the original plot, the ones who are really good at managing money are Li Ying and Chai Jin, who happen to be a rich star and a noble star, which can be described as rich and auspicious.
And in this era, no one understands the importance of money better than Ye Ling, a later generation, whether it is governing the country or marching and fighting, excellent politicians and military strategists are indispensable, but they fundamentally rely on money and resources.
How can you call up an army without money? How can you buy weapons and equipment without money? Without money, how can you provide for the military salary of the army? Without money, how can a lot of things be done with training, building, eating, drinking, and Lazar?
Therefore, even if the excellent generals - even if the military god Han Xinwei Qing and others are resurrected, without the support of money, it can only be difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, of course, they can play the role of money to the extreme in the military, and they can still achieve victory when the resources of the enemy and us are the same or even a step apart, but it is still very clear which one is the main and which is the auxiliary-money is the main thing, and the famous generals are supplemented.
Therefore, when Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, was arranging the merits of the three masters, he said that in the midst of strategizing, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away, and I am not as good as Zhang Liang; Leading the troops to attack and win, I am not as good as Han Xin; But the greatest credit behind this world is Xiao He, who ensured the logistics of the army, and listed Xiao He's credit as the first, and Xiao He also became the first prime minister of the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, Ye Ling also attaches great importance to making money, in this regard, even Wu Yonggong, Sun Sheng, Pei Xuan and others are all laymen, they can only settle accounts at most, but they don't know how to make money, which Li Ying is bound to achieve for Ye Ling.
Even to a certain extent, it surpasses these thousands of centaurs, after all, these centaurs are only strong at this time, but Li Ying can make the cottage continue to generate wealth for a long-term solution.
Therefore, he was very happy to see that Li Ying was willing to submit to Ye Ling, and personally raised his glass to Li Ying three cups and said: "Even if I defeat Zhujiazhuang this time, I am not very happy, there are only two things that make me really happy, the first is to get to know Sanniang, and the second is to receive the owner of Li Zhuang." ”
This made Li Ying also flattered, he was also a master himself, as soon as he entered the camp, he felt from Lin Chong, Yang Zhi, Shi Jin and others that he was in no way inferior to his own momentum, not to mention Ye Ling, the domineering leader, he never expected Ye Ling to value him so much.
Therefore, the atmosphere was naturally more harmonious, Wu Yong brought a large bowl of wine, and everyone drank it all after dripping blood into the wine - this was a very solemn ritual in that era, expressing the awe of heaven and earth, ghosts and gods, and people still believed in this at that time.
Next, everyone discussed business while eating and drinking, and Li Ying and Hu Cheng first talked about the terrain here.
It turns out that among the three villages, Zhujiazhuang is in the middle, Lijiazhuang and Hujiazhuang are wings to form an iron triangle formation, and there is a large area of Pantuo Road in front of Zhujiazhuang, which is intricate, one wrong step will fall into various traps or organs, the end is powerful, and the real identification method is only known by the people of Zhujiazhuang, even if Li Ying and Hu Cheng they are only half-understood.
Therefore, Zhujiazhuang can stand for so many years, even if Dengzhou Mansion or even Jinan Mansion can not attack it, although there is the strength factor of Zhujiazhuang itself, but the natural labyrinth at the door and the assistance of Lijiazhuang Hujiazhuang are also very creditable.
In the original plot, Song Jiang's first two attacks on Zhujiazhuang were defeated on this Pantuo Road, and he was almost wiped out.
But now it's different, although they still have no way to do it head-on, but after the Lijiazhuang and Hujiazhuang counterattack, the two wings of Zhujiazhuang are gone, and the army can attack from these two directions.
And now Zhujiazhuang because the three brothers of the Zhu family are all dead, the captured are captured, and more than 1,500 people are killed and wounded, so only the teacher Luan Tingyu and more than 2,000 people are left, and the strength is also a great loss, and the balance of victory is already very clear.
But now the only problem is how to completely take Zhujiazhuang, after all, if Zhujiazhuang blindly defends, relying on the Dulonggang behind it and the walled city built with decades of painstaking efforts, the Liangshan coalition forces want to take them will also have to pay a huge price, the general casualty ratio of offensive and defensive battles in this era is at least one to two or even one to three, in other words, to completely annihilate the two thousand people in Zhujiazhuang, the coalition army may have to pay the price of four or five thousand casualties.
This price is too great, even to the point of exceeding the harvest, in fact, people who can become the controller of a force are generally not stupid, and it can be said that the small fight is for a breath or face or something, but if you go all out and even bear the risk of life and death, it must be for the sake of profit - huge profit.
