Chapter 330: The Calm Before the Storm

Gu Haotian couldn't imagine that the long-planned Liangshan Lecture Hall had not yet been settled, but the Liangshan Academy had unexpectedly completed it, which was really something that made him overjoyed. In fact, when the three old men approached him that day and proposed to set up a college to cultivate talents, he couldn't believe it at the time. Because in his own opinion, among the three people, only Xu Churen can be regarded as really relieved to stay, Zhang Shuye and Liu Tao, two traditional officials who have served the Zhou court for decades, he never thought that they would agree with Liangshan within a few days, and even bringing Zhang Shuye from Shamen Island to Liangshan that day was a bit of a deception and coaxing.

What's going on? Gu Haotian didn't stand it until the day before the academy opened, and then secretly consulted Xu Churen, it turned out that these two people were also desperate for Zhou Ting, hoping that Liang Shan could lead the people out of a new road, and he only had a little bottom, so he settled down.

The three men said that he was an old man, but in fact he was not old in the eyes of the afterlife. The eldest Xu Churen is actually only 51 years old, Zhang Shuye is 48 years old, and Liu Tao is only 46 years old. In the original history, Xu Churen had the largest official position and served as the prime minister of the Qinzong Dynasty; Uncle Zhang was an official to the Ministry of Rites, and a straight bachelor of Longtu Pavilion; Liu Tao mostly served in local positions, and served as a transfer envoy to Shaanxi, a staff officer in Hebei and Hedong Xuanfu, and a governor of Jianzhou and Jingnan. These three people are all active main battle factions in history, famous for resisting gold, and they are all people with extraordinary knowledge and ability to write and martial arts. These people can now settle down to cultivate talents for Liangshan Manor, which Gu Haotian can't get at any cost, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the biggest gains of Dengzhou's trip.

Gu Haotian and Zhang Shuye removed the red silk covering the plaque of Liangshan Academy, and then in the warm sound of firecrackers, the college began the first class of the school. The first batch of fifty students selected from the manor sat respectfully in the classroom to listen to the lecture of the first mountain chief Zhang Shuye.

Gu Haotian, Wen Huanzhang, Xu Guanzhong, Zhao Ding, Xiao Rang, Zhang Jiucheng, Gongsun Sheng, Wu Yong, Zhu Wu, etc., all sat quietly at the back of the classroom to observe. At the end of the lesson, everyone stood up and saluted respectfully before leaving the classroom.

"After Liangshan, the situation of strong martial arts and weak civil affairs will change because of this, and Haotian no longer needs to worry about the governing personnel."

After leaving the academy, Wen Huanzhang said excitedly.

"That martial arts hall should also be set up as soon as possible, the officer training camp is only a training of low-level squads and captains, I think that as the scale of the escort team gets bigger and bigger, there will be more and more personnel at the level of company commanders and battalion commanders, and in the future, the level of the escort team will definitely be more than the battalion commander, these personnel must have the training of the martial arts hall, so that people can rest assured that they will lead troops to fight in the future."

Xu Guanzhong, the chief of staff, was a little red-eyed, and hurriedly proposed to establish a martial arts hall.

Gu Haotian naturally wanted to build the martial arts hall as soon as possible, but Zhou Tong, the best candidate for the mountain chief in his heart, has not yet returned to the mountain, and he thinks that if the master does not return to the mountain at the end of the year, he will open it first. Just as he was thinking about it, Gongsun Sheng, who listened to it again, said:

"Lord Zhang and Lord Liu should both be people with families, and now it is not very convenient for the two to live in the mountains without taking care of them, so it is better to send someone to fetch them, and it is good for the family to reunite."

"Brother Gongsun is worthy of being an intelligence message, but he is thoughtful."

Wu Yong knew Gongsun Sheng's intentions as soon as he heard it, and couldn't help but quip. When everyone thought about it, they immediately understood, and couldn't help laughing in unison.

Gu Haotian was very concerned about this matter. Because there are many descendants of Zhang Shuye and Liu Tao, especially the descendants of Liu Tao, who are even more prominent, the eldest son Liu Ziyu has been a handsome man all his life, and he advocates expelling the tart captives and recovering the Central Plains; The second son, Liu Zihui, is a poet, physicist, and Zhu Xi's teacher; Grandson Liu Heng, an official who participates in political affairs, is upright and does not care about the powerful. After the death of the three generations of four grandchildren, they were respectively called Zhongxian Gong, Zhongding Gong, Wenjing Gong, and Zhong

Su Gong. Later generations praised the Liu family as "three loyalties and one article", "a model of equal emphasis on loyalty and Swen". So he instructed Gongsun Sheng to choose the right people first, and when he asked the two of them, he immediately left.

The group talked and arrived at the Zhonghua Hall, due to the information from Tokyo, Tong Guan had mobilized various armies to prepare to come to the conquest, and everyone had a simple lunch, and then discussed the coping strategy together.

Gongsun Sheng informed everyone of the news obtained by the intelligence department, and said: "This time, the imperial court sent troops to Liangshan, counting 100,000 people, including 20,000 forbidden troops and 10,000 each of the Eighth Route Military Prefectures under the jurisdiction of Tokyo. There are mainly ten leading generals, namely the Imperial Flying Dragon General Yumei, the Imperial Flying Tiger General Bi Sheng, and the soldiers and horses of Suizhou, Zhengzhou, Chenzhou, Tangzhou, Xuzhou, Dengzhou, Xunzhou, Songzhou Eight Prefectures Duan Pengju, Chen Zhu, Wu Bingyi, Han Tianlin, Li Ming, Wang Yi, Ma Wanli, Zhou Xin and other eight people, it is reported that now the armies have gathered in the capital, just waiting for the Mid-Autumn Festival to go out. ”

"100,000 people! It seems that they must cut off their baggage first, otherwise there will be more prisoners, how much food will Director Zhu prepare! ”

Xu Guanzhong didn't care, but seemed to have won the battle, but he made a joke.

Wu Yong is also a virtuous person, and then continued: "Hey! How many captives are not worried about this time, in the past, we were afraid that the manor would not be able to fit, and we did not dare to ask for more, but now that we have the land in Dengzhou, we are worried that there is no one, let's plan well, these young people will try to stay. ”

"If the two division chiefs think like this, I don't need to prepare any food here, as long as I rob the officers and soldiers of the military rations, give the prisoners two meals, and send them directly to Dengzhou, what will be the effort."

Zhu Wu followed the end of the two of them, and also joked.

As soon as these three people spoke, the venue suddenly relaxed. Gu Haotian didn't really care much about Tong Guan's offense, these people seemed to be powerful, but they were defeated by Song Jiang in the original trajectory, and now the strength of Liangshan Manor was comparable to Song Jiang at that time. Let's just say that the level of the eight capital prisoners is also very average.

In the original book, when attacking Liangshan, the first to go into battle was Chen Zhu, this guy Qin Ming was done in twenty rounds, and he was killed with a mace, and Ma Wanli was directly stabbed to death in less than three rounds in front of Lin Chong, Duan Pengju was hacked to death by Li Kui with an axe in the chaos, Zhou Xin was knocked over by Zhang Qing with a stone, and Ding Desun and Gong Wang went up and killed with a knife. Wang Yi, Han Tianlin, and Wu Bingyi were unbearable, one was cut by Suo Chao with an axe, one was killed by Dong Ping with a shot, and the other was split into two pieces by Shi Jin. If it is said that it is slightly better, then only Li Ming, the commander of the Xuzhou Soldiers and Horses, has fought fiercely with Yang Zhi for thirty rounds, and there is no difference between victory and defeat, it can be seen that Li Ming's martial arts are still relatively high. As for Yumei, the former general, who was also captured by Lu Junyi, Bi Sheng didn't also have a record in the battle, and the level was not much better than Yumei. So to deal with these people, Gu Haotian knows more than Xu Guanzhong.

"It's the Mid-Autumn Festival in two days, and it's not too far from Tokyo to Jeju, so there's not much time left for us to prepare. How well is the operational plan prepared by the Strategic Staff Department? ”

Although Gu Haotian also has the same mentality as everyone, he is not good at showing it, but he wants to remind them to be cautious.

Xu Guanzhong had already made up his mind, and he said: "In the past few days, I have discussed with several division chiefs, and have roughly come up with a plan, and in view of the large number of officers and soldiers, we have preliminarily decided on the strategy of luring the enemy to go deep and annihilate them separately. ”

Let's say that after receiving the task that day, Xu Guanzhong saw that there was a big gap between the number of enemies and us, so he remembered the guerrilla tactics that Gu Haotian had talked about at Lijiadaokou last year, so he designed a set of combat plans accordingly.

Gu Haotian listened to Xu Guanzhong's detailed plan, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there was nothing missing, so he thought about how to deploy troops

。

At this time, he saw Wen Huanzhang and said: "The imperial army is pressing, it is a good opportunity to train troops, and there are still many talents from Hedong, Guanzhong, and Dengzhou in the manor to arrange positions, which should be used as soon as possible, so that they can participate in this battle." ”

"This is also true, it's a pity that there are not enough recruits in the training camp at the moment, and there will be more soldiers and fewer soldiers!" Wu Yong said with some regret.

"It's okay, let's put up the framework first, after this war, the number of officers and soldiers will not be as many as they want."

Xu Guanzhong immediately came up with an idea, but it was very insightful.

Gu Haotian also felt that this idea was good, so he said:

"I agree with Commissioner Hui and put the framework up first. This time, more than ten brothers and more than 4,000 soldiers came to the three places, and I thought that two battalions of infantry and two battalions of cavalry should be set up first, and the eleventh infantry battalion would have the Shi Jin brothers as the battalion commander, and Yang Chun and Chen Da as the deputy battalion commanders; The 12th Infantry Battalion has Shan Shiqi as the battalion commander, and Shi Ding and Wu Cheng as the deputy battalion commanders; The 13th Cavalry Battalion has Sun Xin as the battalion commander and Wen Zhongrong as the deputy battalion commander; The 14th Cavalry Battalion has Wang Yan as the battalion commander and Cui Ye as the deputy battalion commander; Xie Zhen, Xie Bao and Wu Yanguang stayed in the special battalion first, and Guo Meng went back to Li Bao's sailor camp, but the Zou Yuan brothers had nowhere to go for the time being, so they first went to the first infantry battalion for a period of time before making arrangements. ”

"Little official, there is one more person who must not be missed, otherwise I will listen to his nagging again!" At this time, Wu Yong suddenly spoke.

A few people couldn't help but wonder when they saw it, could there be any missing characters in this manor?

"But it's my brother Chao Gai, his injuries have healed at the end of the spring, so he has been asking me to go to the little official to ask for an errand, I am also worried that he will not agree to the beginning of his serious injury, these days have been forced tightly, don't mention it for fear of being complained, the little official and give a row to do as appropriate."

It turned out to be this person, but I really forgot about him! It was only then that everyone suddenly realized. Gu Haotian was very surprised, it was only about half a year, and it was good to be able to move with such a serious injury, and he could still go into battle. I couldn't help asking:

"Director Wu, fighting in battle and ordinary activities are two different things, can you be sure that he is really good."

"How else to say that Imperial Doctor An is magical, these days Brother Chao Gai is dancing with guns and sticks every day, and it is no big problem for me to look at it, so I will speak for him."

Although Wu Yong said that he was sure, Gu Haotian was still not at ease, and when he thought of it, he asked An Daoquan to inquire carefully. As for this person's arrangement, he felt that at least a battalion commander should be arranged, no matter what his ability was, but after all, he was the former boss of Wu Yong and others. So he said to Wu Yong:

"If Brother Chao's body allows, can I arrange the position of infantry battalion commander?"

"It's so good, that's inappropriate, Brother Chao will be overjoyed when he hears it."

Wu Yong had been on the mountain for a long time, of course he knew the strength of the battalion commanders, and when he saw Gu Haotian's arrangement, he understood that he was already worried about the face of several of them, and he was full of joy at that time.

Soon it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and in the morning, Gu Haotian held a meeting of the family camp and the director of the manor in the Zhonghua Hall. One mobilized to meet the imperial army. The second announced several new appointments. The 11th and 12th Infantry Battalions, the 13th and 14th Cavalry Battalions, and the new 4th Infantry Battalion have not changed the candidates for the positive and negative battalion commanders, but the commander of the 13th Infantry Battalion has been newly established, Chao Gai, and the deputy battalion commander has been transferred to Liu Tang, Liu Tang is already familiar with the Liangshan military system, and he is his old subordinate, but he is the most suitable candidate. As for the lack of the deputy commander of the first battalion, it happened to be given to Zou Yuan.

At the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet that day, everyone congratulated one after another, and the cups were very lively.

And Gu Haotian didn't drink too much wine, but he was thinking in his heart that tomorrow morning, the 100,000 troops of the imperial court will set off, and although he has made full preparations, Liangshan Manor will still face a severe test. Looking at the joyful and harmonious banquet in front of him, he suddenly felt that it was very much like a sceneβ€”the calm before the storm.
