Chapter 81: Master Builder
After appeasing this fragile thief, Chong Yanfeng looked at the three people on the other side, led by Chen Da, the jumping tiger, this man is also strong, but his appearance is very ordinary, and his clothes are unpretentious, Chen Da's martial arts are very sparse and ordinary, he can be said to be a very featureless person, but the dress standing on Chen Da's left cannot be described as simple, it is a little simple......
This man is also five short stature, only slightly taller than Shi Qian, but his limbs are extremely thick, and he can be sure at a glance that this is a natural strong man, and Luda Wusong, who relies on martial arts to practice strong explosive power, this person in front of him is not a martial arts master, and his strength comes from his stout and somewhat outrageous figure.
This stout man wears a turban on his head that can barely be seen in his true color, and he wears a ragged jacket with a bare board and hairless jacket like the one shouted in the pawnshops of later generations, and the jacket is still sleeveless, so I really can't tell whether this guy is too hot or too cold! A pair of linen-colored pants on his legs, with a lot of holes in them, and it was as difficult to tell what color it was like a turban, but fortunately, the straw sandals on his feet were still new.
"Hey, hey!" When this man saw Chong Yanfeng coming to him, he just smirked a few times, neither calling anyone nor saluting, but from the man's honest expression, it is not difficult to see that his respect for Chong Yanfeng is from the heart, and it is not even much worse than the times, but he doesn't know how to express it.
"This is Tao Zongwang Tao's brother, who is nicknamed the Nine-Tailed Turtle!" Chen Da introduced on the side: "Brother Tao is good, but he is a little too honest......" Chen Da also smiled embarrassedly, it is estimated that he can see that Yanfeng is a little uncomfortable with Tao Zongwang's rancid clothes, Chen Da hurriedly explained, "Brother Tao said that this dress and pants were left by his father back then, and they were the only thing left by his father, so he said that he couldn't change ......, the straw sandals on his feet had actually been worn through a long time ago, and I forced him to change them the day before yesterday!" ”
"Filial piety comes first, Brother Tao uses this way to pay tribute to his father, which is really admirable!" Chong Yanfeng is purely speechless to say this, you can not change your clothes, but at least wash and wash it.
"Hehe...... Tao Zongwang laughed innocently twice before he explained: "The clothes and pants were left behind by Daddy when he left, but I don't know if Daddy is not alive!" ”
"Ugh!" Not only Yan Feng, but even Lu Da, Yan Shun and the others were puzzled after hearing this, and even Chen Da immediately asked, "Didn't you say that the clothes were the only ones left when Ling Zun left?" ”
"Hehe...... my family was too poor to eat when I was a child, so my father threw me and my brother down to find a way to live!" Tao Zongwang seems to have been stimulated as a child, and his brain is not very bright, and he doesn't even know how to express his joys, sorrows, and sorrows, "Hehe...... later, my brother also starved to death, so I put on these clothes!" ”
Anxious as Chong Yanfeng didn't know how to pick up the stubble for a while after hearing this, he relieved himself, Chong Yanfeng wanted to pat the other party on the shoulder, but he still held back, the smell was a little big, and the dust was a little too much, "Brother Tao don't have to be sad, you lost a brother in the past, but today you got a bunch of brothers, you should be happy, we will all be your brothers in the future!" ”
"Hehe...... thank you!" Although Tao Zongwang still looked like he was still smirking, but the tears in his eyes couldn't be faked, Chong Yanfeng also smiled and nodded when he saw this, it is not difficult to buy this kind of honest person, there is no other way than to rely on sincerity to exchange!
Nine-tailed turtle Tao Zongwang and god operator Jiang Jing are both the four masters of Huangmen Mountain, but at this moment this mountain has not yet been established, Huangmen Mountain is still a borderless land, and the god operator was summoned to Liangshan by Zhu Wu early, and there is a reason why Chong Yanfeng treats the nine-tailed turtle differently and specially sends Chen Da to find it.
Mr. Zhang Hatshui, a master of modern Zhanghui novels, commented: Most of the heroes in Liangshan are civilians, and only Tao Zongwang is the only person from a peasant in Liangshan, which is also the reason why the nine-tailed turtle always holds a shovel in the image, but these have nothing to do with Chong Yanfeng valuing him, what Chong Yanfeng really appreciates is Tao Zongwang's extraordinary talent in architecture.
Tao Zongwang in the Water Margin is not only the person in charge of infrastructure work in Liangshan, but also the work of engineering design, construction operation, and quality supervision, etc., and is now also a master figure in the construction industry.
According to Wang Anshi's assumption, the Great Song Dynasty pacified the Quartet to take three steps, one to destroy the Hehuang and Tubo tribes, the second to destroy the Western Xia, and finally to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, the first step in this dynasty has been completed by Wang Hou and Tong Guan, now the most important step is the battle against the Western Xia, it is impossible to rely on a battle once and for all, and the strategy and tactics have to follow the old routine of Fan Zhongyan, and the camp has been repaired to the nose of the party members.
Although the process is a little slower and rigid, but it is the safest way, the cavalry-based party people are best at clearing the wilderness, and then send a cavalry with strong power to raid and cut off your grain route, surround the point to send reinforcements, and consume you alive in the wilderness, so the tactics of building camps and camps are the only magic weapon to win, so that professionals like Tao Zongwang are needed.
Ordinary camps are too slow to build, and they cost too much, and when you repair and occupy Hengshan, it is estimated that the Khitans are also played by the Jurchens, time waits for no one, if you want to seize the opportunity, you must use new materials, new technologies and new construction methods, Chong Yanfeng has long known about these, but all this needs the most reliable person to operate, if this person is still a construction expert, it would be better, and he chose to choose to plant Yanfeng and chose Tao Zongwang.
Don't look at the other party is now stupid and stupid and over-the-top, once he does the construction project Tao Zongwang will immediately judge the two, then he will become the best contemporary architectural master, mechanics, optics, mathematics, architecture, exaggeration to say that even Feng Shui is self-......taught, and when everything is ready, the Song army will spend the shortest time to build the strongest camp, from Yanyan, Huanqing to Hengshan, all the way to Xingqing, the capital of Western Xia!
The ideal is very plump but it is difficult to implement, and it is very difficult to persuade these officials and men led by Tong Guan and Cai Jing who always want to fight a war, Tong Guan don't look at his military merits mixed up a lot, but his military literacy is still very scummy, especially in terms of grand strategy, it can be said that he is half mentally retarded, and the fiasco of attacking the Liao State makes people see this fact clearly, and then in fact, he can also see the clues from his achievements after he took charge of the Western Army.
There were many major battles in the Song and Xia dynasties, such as the Battle of Xiazhou, the Battle of Lingzhou, the Battle of Haoshuichuan, Sanchuankou, the Battle of Dingchuan Village, the Battle of Lanzhou, the Battle of Yongle City and Pingxia City, the Battle of Tong'an City, etc., but in Tong Guan's command of the army until the Seed Master Dao Ma stepped on the Hengshan Xixia had to bow down, but there was no major battle worth mentioning during this period, and it can barely be said that the Seed Master Dao captured Zangdi River City.
But the geographical location of Zangdi River City is on the edge and its importance is extremely limited, which is enough to show that the scum of Tong Guan's strategy is dangling in front of him, and when Tong Guan relies on the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty to convince the Western Xia, the losses on his side are also very huge, and at this time, he rashly started a war with the Liao State, and it is reasonable to think about the fiasco of the Great Song Dynasty.
