Yang Zhi and Yang Zaixing turned out to be a pair of uncles and nephews, and everyone was surprised to hear it. Gu Haotian was surprised, and suddenly remembered that when he read "The Complete Biography of Yue Yue" in his previous life, there seemed to be such a description in it, could it be that the two really had such a relationship, and when they were secretly surprised, Yang Zaixing, who listened to it, said to Yang Zhi:

"Last year, I heard at home that the second uncle escorted the birthday gang to something, but there was no news for a long time, thinking that the second uncle would return to the capital, at the beginning of the year I took the old servant into Beijing to look for it, who knew that I couldn't find it for a long time, just met the martial arts exam, so I gave it a try, I never thought about making a big fuss with the Jurchens, and I also lost the help of the small officials, otherwise the result was unpredictable. After that, he followed the little official to the manor, but I don't know where the second uncle has gone these days? ”

"I also went to the capital in the spring season, and then went to the Liangzhong Book Office of the Daimyo's Mansion, and was ordered to escort the Birthday Gang into Beijing before, who would have expected that yesterday in Huangnigang was a thief's way, and the property was lost, and he was left here."

"But it was God's intentional arrangement, if it weren't for the second uncle escorting the Birthday Gang, we wouldn't know when we would be able to meet, but now it's good, let's go to the manor together to be happy, then what Liang Zhongshu and Birthday Gang don't bird him."

Yang Zaixing has been very happy in the manor recently, and when he saw Yang Zhi say that he had lost his birthday, he didn't feel sad for him, but happily invited him to Liangshan Manor.

Yang Zhi originally had nowhere to go, but when Lin Chong was invited just now, he was already moved, and when he saw that his nephew was also in the manor, he didn't hesitate anymore, so he wanted to go and have a look, so he agreed.

At that moment, everyone packed up and set off, and the master's permission that Cao Zheng and his wife begged also went with their cronies.

Along the way, between the chatting of everyone, they learned that Yang Zhi was Yang Zaixing's cousin in the third suit, Yang Zaixing was loved by him when he was a child and learned martial arts from him, and the two were very close, so after hearing that Yang Zhi had an accident, Yang Zaixing went to Beijing to investigate regardless of his youth.

In only two days, Gu Haotian and the others returned to Liangshan, and Yang Zhi was amazed by the daily scene of the manor, and when he arrived at Zhonghua Hall, he happened to meet Gongsun Sheng and Ma Ling.

"Why did Yang make it to the manor, but the birthday gang has been won by the petty officials."

Gongsun Sheng secretly followed the birth gang for many days, and Yang Zhi, who naturally recognized him, saw him go up the mountain at this time, and first thought of this matter, so he blurted out.

"The Taoist Master misunderstood, the Birthday Gang was robbed, but it wasn't us who did it, Yang Zhienvoy just met with us and others by coincidence."

Gu Haotian replied while letting Yang Zhi meet Gongsun Sheng, Ma Ling and others. On the evening of the same day, the guards and leaders of the manor held a reception banquet for Yang Zhi and Sun Sheng and Ma Ling, who had arrived earlier.

Especially when Yang Zhi saw Xu Ning, Wang Yu, Lin Chong and other colleagues in the forbidden army, Lu Zhishen, Han Shizhong and other fierce generals of the Western Army, and even Zhao Ding and other Hanlin Qinggui, all serving in the manor, there was no trace of doubt in his heart, and the rest was just curiosity about this manor.

A reception banquet was extremely warm, and it was not until the time of the unitary was that it was dissipated. However, Gu Haotian was pulled by Gongsun Sheng to a pavilion in the back mountain, which was where Wen Huanzhang and others usually climbed the mountain to enjoy the scenery.

At this time, it is the night time, and the evening breeze in the pavilion is very comfortable. Gongsun Sheng leaned on the stone railing, staring at the sparks in the Houshan Market, but he was not in a hurry to speak.

After this Gongsun Sheng went up the mountain, Gu Haotian specially told the management office to be free with him, so in the past few days, he and Ma Ling walked all over the corners of the mountain, but with the deepening of the understanding, the shock in the heart is incomprehensible, I didn't think that I haven't seen it for two years, this kid has established a great foundation, and I can't help but sincerely admire the god of the teacher, and at the same time strengthen an idea in my heart.

"Did the petty officials build this foundation to prevent the Jurchens from going south?"

Two years ago, when the two met in Yuncheng County, they had discussed this topic, and after pondering, Gongsun Sheng asked.

"Of course, the Jurchens have to deal with it, but the bigger crisis at hand lies in the imperial court, does the Taoist chief think that the imperial court will let Liangshan Manor become bigger, we have been in opposition to it recently, if there is a day when the news leaks, it will be the time when the two sides meet each other. So whether it is for the Jurchens or for the court, the current strength of the manor is far from enough, and now there is no foundation! ”

For Gongsun Sheng, Gu Haotian did not have any reservations, he said his thoughts very bluntly.

"With the current imperial court, if the petty officials do not call the king and the emperor, they will not use their strength to attack, in my opinion, there are quite a lot of generals in the manor, but there is a lack of soldiers, if some more people are added, the court officers and soldiers are enough to deal with it, and the poor Dao thinks that there is no need to worry about it."

This Gongsun Sheng is worthy of being one of the two military advisors in the original "Water Margin", and his analysis of the problem is also quite accurate.

"It's just that it's hard to recruit soldiers! In the past two years, the manor has tried its best, but he doesn't dare to be blatant, and it is not easy for these people to be at present. ”

Gongsun Shengjian said that he also understood Gu Haotian's difficulties, he thought for a while and said:

"There are a lot of Hebei people in this manor, they should be refugees, in fact, there are countless people like this in the Hebei borderland, if they can live such a life in the manor, it is not difficult to move here, all they are worried about are just afraid of attracting attention."

"There are countless victims in Hebei, everyone knows about it, but they can't take it in openly, can the Taoist chief have a clever plan?"

Seeing that he said calmly, Gu Haotian knew that he had a plan, and hurriedly asked.

"When I traveled to the north last year, I passed a cottage in Jixian County, surrounded by high mountains and a post road in the middle. Because the mountain is steep and the water surrounds the peak, it is called the Drinking Horse River. There are three heroes in it, called Deng Fei with a fiery eye, Meng Kang with a jade banner pole, and Pei Xuan with an iron face. This Yumachuan is not only in a dangerous terrain, but also likes its proximity to the sea, if people gather people in the north of the river to send them there, and then the manor sends a boat to pick them up, it is unaware, how many people will not be there at that time! ”

"The gentleman immediately relieved the boy's confusion!"

Gu Haotian was overjoyed when he heard this, and his title also changed, he got up and saluted respectfully, and said:

"It's just that this matter can only succeed if Mr. is out of the horse, I'm afraid it will trouble you again."

"Poor road down the mountain this time, near Japan does not plan to go back, just looking for something to do, the birthday of the gang of small officials is not to look down, it is not bad to go to Hebei, but to transfer the border people, but also to act in the long run, you must have a careful plan, in order to do things with peace of mind."

This time, Gongsun Sheng made a special trip to find Gu Haotian, and he came to help him on the order of his master, so he responded without saying a word.

At that moment, Gu Haotian was overjoyed, and regardless of the late day, he took Gongsun Sheng and ran straight to Zhonghua Hall, and called Wen Huanzhang, Xiao Jiasui, Xu Guanzhong, Lin Chong, Ruan Xiaoer, Zhao Ding, Zhang Jiucheng and others to discuss Gongsun Sheng's strategy overnight.

"Mr. Gongsun's brilliant plan, if the drinking Ma Chuan can really be used by us, the manpower will be worry-free!" After hearing this, Xiao Jiasui immediately said excitedly.

"Brother Xiao, not only this benefit, that Yinmachuan is located at the junction of Zhou and Liao, east of the sea, if you can hold this place, it can be used as a transit place for horse sellers in the north of the manor, and it may be of great use in the future."

Xu Guanzhong is familiar with the terrain of Hebei and thinks more long-term.

"If you want to do this plan to drink Ma Chuan, it is the most important, if you go north to recruit people, the manor will definitely send capable people over, and the leader of the cottage over there must be willing, otherwise it will be embarrassing to have a dispute, so I have to bother Mr. Gongsun to go again before to explore the breath."

After all, Wen Huanzhang is older, and he is also thoughtful and thoughtful.

"Mr. Wen doesn't have to worry about this, when Poor Dao was drinking Ma Chuan, he once mentioned the name of the petty official, and the three leaders were also very admiring, and they all said that they hated to meet in person, if they really didn't worry, I and Ma Ling would take the first step in the future, and when the matter was decided, Ma Ling would come back to report, and then go over to the follow-up people."

After listening to what Gongsun Sheng said, everyone felt that there was nothing missing in this plan, so they discussed issues such as manpower and funding. In the end, considering that Xue Can, the deputy commander of the sixth infantry battalion from Hebei, was old and steady, and was a local and understood the local customs, he first brought 200 elites to escort him, and the civil affairs office and the finance department each selected a few personnel who were proficient in the resettlement and finance of the displaced people to cooperate, and selected 50 clever personnel from the people to go over together for the purpose of civil propaganda and agitation.

In the next two days, the manor began to transfer troops and select people, and the escort team was easy to do, but it took a lot of effort to select people from the people, and it took three days until all kinds of people were selected. Gu Haotian also instructed Zhao Ding and Xiao Rang to arrange personnel to conduct special training for the personnel selected by the people, and this matter was finally over.

On this day, Gongsun Sheng and Ma Ling came to say goodbye and went to Hebei first, and Gu Haotian and others were sent to the Golden Beach Wharf.

"If Mr. Gongsun's trip is successful, it will remove a big obstacle to the growth of the manor, and the merit is great!" Wen Huanzhang looked at the boat that was gradually moving away and sighed.

"In my opinion, Mr. Gongsun's side should be fine, but the sailor camp will be busy in the future, there are currently a total of four battalions of sailors in the manor, and some of them will be bought and bought in the north, and the guards in the manor are indispensable, and a large number of people are needed to transport the people, so I am afraid that it will be overstretched!"

"What Mr. Xu said is not bad, there are only a thousand people in the water barracks now, more than 100 people follow the horses in Liaodi all the year round, and it seems that the Li family crossing will also be permanent in the future, and most of the three battalions of Xiaoqi are running around all over the place, if you add people to Hebei, it is really a little difficult."

Ruan Xiaoer stood aside, listened to Xu Guanzhong's words, and took the opportunity to pour bitter water.

Gu Haotian stood in the middle and heard clearly, secretly thinking that it was indeed imminent to strengthen the naval army, but compared with the infantry, there was one more difficulty, that is, the lack of suitable generals, so he remembered that Jiangzhou's group of water masters came, and it seemed that he should hurry up and go to Jiangzhou, and he secretly made up his mind in his heart.
