The Spring Festival of 1113 is the most tense festival that Gu Haotian has had since he came to this world.

After the first day of the Lunar New Year, he pulled relevant personnel to study the affairs of the manor. This year's Liangshan Manor will never be as leisurely as in previous years, as long as the imperial court's conquest begins, it will be one after another, and he and everyone in Liangshan must be fully mentally prepared. It can be said that when you come to this world, whether your ambitions can be realized or not, this year is the key, if you can survive this hurdle, the sea and the sky will be broad, so Gu Haotian does not dare to be careless at all.

The most important thing in the manor at the moment is the expansion of the escort team, last November Zhujiazhuang and Hebei came from 6,000 people into the new barracks and did not come out, at the end of December Gongsun Sheng brought another 3,000 young people to the manor, now they are temporarily placed in the manor, has not been selected. Du Qian has already sent a letter from the side, saying that the number of displaced people in the border areas has increased greatly this year, and Yinmachuan has taken in a lot of people, and asked the manor to send more ships and grain to the manor as soon as possible.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Gu Haotian summoned Wen Huanzhang, Xiao Jiasui, Xu Guanzhong, Lin Chong and others to discuss the matter of the escort team, and finally decided that the recruits who are still in the training camp will end their training in advance and be assigned to each battalion to continue training by the battalion itself.

In terms of the distribution of troops, the infantry battalion increased by 2,000 men, the first, second, third, and fifth battalions were originally 700 to 1,000 each, the fourth, seventh, eighth, and ninth battalions were originally 500 and increased to 700, and the sixth battalion was expanded to 1,000 on the spot in Yumachuan. The bow battalion was increased by 500 men to 1,000. The number of sailors was increased by 1,400 men, and each battalion was expanded to 700 men. The cavalry battalion increased by 1,900 people, the first battalion was already 1,000 people, and the second to seventh battalions each increased by 200 to 700 people, and the eighth cavalry battalion was newly established, with an establishment of 700 people, and the battalion commander Luan Tingyu transferred Huang Xin to the deputy battalion commander. The deputy commander of the 9th Infantry Battalion was succeeded by Yang Xiong. As the next task of the training camp became heavier and heavier, the remaining 200 places were handed over to the training camp, and he and the battalions replaced the veterans, which was equivalent to expanding the number of people in the training camp.

In this way, the total number of the three arms of the escort team reached 20,300 people, and after the next two phases of recruit training were completed, each battalion could be equipped with 1,000 people, plus the personal guard battalion, the training battalion, and the officer training camp, the total number of people reached more than 26,000 people, and Liangshan's strength was greatly increased, and he also had the confidence to deal with the crusade of the imperial court.

Soon on the 10th day of the new year, all 6,000 recruits from the training camp were assigned to the camp, and the 2,300 newly selected recruits also entered the training camp. Luan Tingyu, Yang Xiong and others were excited to take office, but Deng Fei's eyes were hot, but he didn't dare to ask Gu Haotian directly for a position, but pestered Gongsun Sheng to ask him for help.

Gongsun Sheng knew that with Deng Fei's strength, he couldn't be the battalion commander in Liangshan, so he tentatively asked him if he wanted to go to that position. Deng Fei was also dry, he said that he had a good time in the manor this year, but he also saw his own weight clearly, not to mention those battalion commanders, who were among the deputy battalion commanders, like Aliqi, Han Shizhong, Hao Siwen, Li Kui, Ou Peng and others, they couldn't take advantage of one of them, and if they could ask for a deputy position, they would be satisfied. Gongsun Sheng said that he gave an idea, and asked him to go to Yinmachuan to be Teng Ji's deputy first, and then return to the manor in the future It is the most appropriate. Deng Fei also felt justified when he heard it, and immediately took Gongsun Sheng to tell Gu Haotian together.

Gu Haotian had considered the use of Gongsun Sheng, Ma Ling, and Deng Fei, Deng Fei was an old man who drank Ma Chuan, and it was of course best to go back to help, so he asked the Military Administration Department to appoint him as the deputy commander of the sixth infantry battalion on the spot, but Deng Fei was excited. For Gongsun

Sheng and Ma Ling, Gu Haotian's heart wanted these two people to go to the intelligence department, although Shi Qian's personal ability is good, but after all, the education level is too low, and the current management is barely enough, if the national intelligence network is rolled out, he will definitely not be competent. Gongsun Sheng was originally one of the two major military divisions of Liangshan in the Water Margin, and he was constantly knowledgeable, and he could judge the situation and judge the situation. What's more important is that Gongsun Sheng gave him medicine on behalf of Erxian Mountain that day, so that he had enough trust in him, otherwise he would not have handed over such a critical position to him.

As for the time change, Gu Haotian naturally would not treat him badly, he was ready to set up a secret guard, which would be in charge of serving him specifically. Kim Dajian was temporarily arranged in the District Affairs Office.

On the evening of the tenth day of the first lunar month, Gu Haotian summoned Wen Huanzhang, Xiao Jiasui, Xu Guanzhong, Zhao Ding and others to discuss the arrangements for Gongsun Sheng, Shi Qian, and Ma Ling. After the meeting, when Gu Haotian was about to call someone to invite the two to come over and talk, Shi Qian sent a message from Jeju City overnight.

According to Zhao Neng's information, Gao Lian, the prefect of Gaotang Prefecture, issued a document to Jeju Prefecture, saying that a wealthy businessman in his territory was killed for no reason, and the matter involved the Tongda Dart Store at Lijiadao Crossing in Yuncheng County, and asked the Jeju Prefecture to assist in the investigation. Since Gao Lian was Gao Yu's cousin, the Jeju prefect did not dare to disobey, so he asked the arresting envoy He Tao to cooperate with the investigation, and according to information, Gao Tangzhou's manpower would arrive in Jeju in the near future.

How could Gao Tang Prefecture suspect Tongda Dart Xing? A few people couldn't help but feel a little strange. It just so happened that Shi Qian was also a participant in this incident, but after understanding it, he said that everyone said that it was the Hebei Mountain Bandits, and if there was a leak, it might be that someone had slipped through the net, so that Yin Tianci and Gao Lian guessed that Tongda Dart Xing.

A few people thought about it, but they didn't pay much attention to it, anyway, they were already mentally prepared, and then a few people sat down to discuss the countermeasures, and then sent someone to inform the Li family crossing to prepare tomorrow morning.

At the end of the meeting, it was already the end of the day, Gu Haotian called Shi Qian to go all the way, and talked about transferring him to his side to form a secret guard. Unexpectedly, Shi Qian was overjoyed when he heard it, saying that he had not eaten and slept well for that intelligence network these days for fear of making mistakes, and it was in his liking to be this secret guard beside the petty official.

And Gongsun Sheng came to Liangshan Manor, he led the order of the master, and at first he also had the purpose of exploring the truth, but as soon as he entered Liangshan, he fell into it, and then he recommended himself to go to Hebei to recruit displaced people. But it's a pity that such a big talent wasted him in Hebei, so when someone else can take over the affairs over there, Gu Haotian wants to keep him in the manor, and the position of the intelligence department is the result of his careful consideration. Gongsun Sheng agreed without much prevarication, and then he and Ma Ling, the two new directors and deputy directors of the intelligence department, immediately ushered in their first errand after taking office.

On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, when the people of Jeju were preparing for the Lantern Festival, a team of heavily armed officials entered Jeju City. The first two rode high-headed horses, one was an officer in his early thirties named Yu Zhi, who was the commander of Gaotang Prefecture, and the other was a thin young man in his twenties, but Yin Tianci, who was the brother-in-law of Gao Lian, the prefect of Gaotang Prefecture.

Let's say that when Liu Yuan, Shi Xiu and others wiped out Yin Tianbao's family last year, it happened that a housekeeper escaped by staying in a good home that night, and when Yin Tianci inquired about the enemy's family, he remembered the conflict with Tongda Dart a few days ago. This Yin Tianci immediately suspected coming here, and after he reported to Gao Lian, Gao Tang Prefecture

He immediately sent an official document to the Jeju government, and as soon as the Chinese New Year came, he personally led a team of officers and soldiers to hurry south.

In fact, this Yin Tianci is so positive, not that he has a deep relationship with his cousins, he is worried about the robbed Wanguan family wealth. At the beginning of the first month, he hurried away with the army, and his heart had already decided that it was the case that the dart shop had done, so he wanted to catch him off guard and avoid his property being transferred.

The prefect of Jeju has been unable to protect himself recently, and he does not dare to offend the relatives of this powerful court at all, so he ordered the arrest of the envoy He Tao to cooperate with Yin Tianci's actions.

It is said that after He Tao met with Yin Tianci and Yu Zhi, he rarely saw the main action and invited the two to the famous Wangjiang Tower in Jeju for a drink. These two were also hesitant, but they heard a catcher next to He Tao say, Wangjianglou wine and food are unique to Jeju, and if you don't go to taste it, you will come for nothing, and the two of them will be tempted.

That night, He Tao led Yin Tianci and Yu Zhi, as well as the henchman named Zhao Neng, to Wangjiang Tower, but he didn't expect that the wine and food in this building really lived up to its reputation. After more than an hour, Yin Tianci and Yu Zhi were full of wine and food, and staggered down to the lobby on the second floor, only to see many people cheering loudly in front of a seat on the second floor. That Zhao Neng seemed to be strange, so he asked the shopkeeper what was the noise. The shopkeeper hurriedly replied, saying that an old fairy had just come, and he was like a god, and everyone was around the word measurement and divination.

"If there is such a thing, wait for me to count it, otherwise he will be convicted of spreading rumors and causing trouble."

Zhao Neng seemed to be dissatisfied when he heard this, so he raised his foot and went over there, and the other three people were also curious and followed over.

Let's say that a few people around the fortune teller watched the four officials come drunk and hid for a while, leaving only two Taoist priests who were fortune tellers. I saw a sitting man in his thirties, dignified and majestic, but he saw two loose buns on his head, a pair of apricot eyes with eight eyebrows, and a mustache from the four sides. Standing behind him was about thirty years old, dressed like an apprentice.

"Wu Na Lao Dao, and count it with me, if you are not allowed, you will be convicted of a crime of beleading the public."

This Zhao Neng stepped forward in a few steps and sat opposite the Taoist with a butt. The Taoist priest was not in a hurry, only asked him to report his birthday, and then pinched his fingers for a while, and then said something, only to see that Zhao Neng sat there and was stunned immediately, and after a while, he repeatedly said "God" and "God" are the same, while hurriedly saluting and thanking him.

That Yin Tianci stood on the side and looked at it clearly, and couldn't help but feel itchy, so he sat down at the table and reported his birthday, not wanting this Taoist priest to have the ability, but it was not bad, at this time he was already impressed in his heart, and suddenly thought of an important matter, so he asked:

"I have a brother who is in the future today, and he has always liked to tell fortunes, and reported his birthday to the Taoist, but he calculated numerology?"

"Poor Dao has been walking the rivers and lakes for more than ten years since he left the school, and there is nothing that cannot be calculated, Lang Jun just has to say it." Yin Tianci saw that he said, and reported Yin Tianbao's birthday.

I saw that the Taoist priest frowned and counted for a while, but said hesitantly, Lang Jun has misremembered the time, according to this life, this person is no longer alive years ago.

Yin Tianci was stunned when he heard this, thinking that he had met a living immortal, so he said anxiously:

"Then the Dao Chief, hurry up and calculate why he died?"

The Taoist chief did not refuse, but he calculated for a moment before he spoke.
