Chapter 146: Mental Arithmetic and Unintentional [First Update, Ask for Subscription]
On a small hill that is not high, Xu Ning, the golden gunner, is wearing an iron leaf yellow flower armor, a jujube red horse on his crotch, a brocade saddle with purple reins, and a half-tan parrot green robe. The top is bright red and brilliant, holding a gold-wire iron gun. The finch painting bow hangs a crescent moon, and the Longquan sword hangs nine autumn frosts.
Quietly watching under the hills, a hurried procession passed by.
Five days ago, he received a letter from his old superior, Chen Zongshan, who was the former lieutenant of the palace, the second in command of the huge palace front division, and the first person under Du Taiwei Su Yuanjing.
After reading this letter, Xu Ning was very distressed, because in the letter, Chen Zongshan asked Xu Ning to immediately send troops to Jeju, cooperate with the new governor of Jeju, Zhang Shuye, and exterminate the Liangshan bandits.
When he received the letter from Chen Zongshan, Xu Ningxian was very surprised. Because he was killed before, whether it was Su Yuanjing or Chen Zongshan, they all turned a deaf ear to this and stood by. Thanks to Gao Yu, he didn't want Xu Ning's life, and with Wang Jinqing's way, he was able to get away with the crime. According to reason, Xu Ning, who left the capital in this way, is equivalent to breaking away from the system of the front division of the palace - this does not mean that Xu Ning is no longer the teacher of the Golden Gun class, and he is no longer the person of the front division of the palace, so he will break away from the system of the front division of the palace. The front division of the palace is a huge mountain Taiyue in the army of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the generals who came out of the front division of the palace are all over the four hundred military states, and these people essentially belong to the front of the palace. Xu Ning's departure was cold-hearted, not only leaving the establishment of the palace front division, but also leaving the "palace front division", a system that originated in Tokyo and developed to the entire world.
But now Chen Zongshan suddenly came to him and asked Xu Ning to do something, but this is to take Xu Ning back again?
Xu Ning is no longer a good person, nor is he a mud bodhisattva who has no temper. Of course, he didn't want to work for Chen Zongshan anymore, but Chen Zongshan asked him to send troops to help Jeju Governor Zhang Shuye suppress the bandits, if Xu Ning dared to refuse, I was afraid that he would be questioned again in a few days.
Xu Ning's refusal is not only a rejection of Chen Zongshan and a rejection of the front division of the palace, but it is more likely to give the opponent an indefensible handle. Although this was Chen Zongshan's private letter rather than an official document from the palace marshal's office, Gao Yu had already set up a license in the nearby states and counties, and worked with Jeju to suppress the group of thieves. Xu Ning didn't think it was a lie.
In the officialdom of the Northern Song Dynasty today, when the fake is true, the truth is also false, and there is nowhere to do nothing. If you want to frame Xu Ning, a small group that doesn't have any backstage, is it not casual? Even he was sure that Chen Zongshan would make a heavy move and dispose of him. but to make an example of a hundred, so that people may be afraid.
So Xu Ning could only give in.
He now really regrets being too 'heartless' with his cousin. Although there was really a channel to connect with Liangshan in his hands, when the matter came, Xu Ning might not really dare to cross the Lei Chi. But the current golden gunners really have an urge to go to the bandits. Maybe this is also because Xu Ning really doesn't have the channel to report the news in his hands. The reaction was greater.
Xu Ning's troops are not many, and the vitality of the Puzhou forbidden army has been greatly damaged, and it has not yet recovered, not to mention that if you want to take the forbidden army out of the country, you must go through Zhizhou and the soldiers and horses. In this way, Zhizhou still needs to report to the upper level and get the permission of the upper peak, which is a lot of trouble. Chen Zongshan just wanted Xu Ning to lead his local soldiers, train bravery, and attack urgently. Tuyong from Nayanggu County will come to cooperate at that time. Two plus one, it is about 2,000 people, which is already a lot.
It's just that the quality of Tuyong in Puzhou is really not good. Since Xu Ning took office, he has not done anything sincerely, so that after the Tu Bing Lian Yong of Puzhou and the Tu Yong of Yanggu County gathered, they turned out to be half a catty and eight taels, and they were all worse than anyone.
Xu Ning had never seen Liangshan thieves, but he didn't dare to underestimate Liangshan. In this short period of time, Liang Shanbo's reputation was shocked, and the buff bonus of the defeated official army made it impossible for anyone with an online IQ to despise it anymore.
There are Lu Qian, Lin Chong, and a flower monk from the former Western Army, but he is not a real grass bandit. If it is a head-to-head battle, with the quality of these handfuls of waste under his hands, as well as their equipment, Xu Ning feels that it is a great good not to be defeated by the First World War. But the biggest benefit on his side now is that 'the enemy is bright and I am dark', and he has no intention of calculating or not!
According to Yanggu Tuyong's report, although there are many Liangshan thieves, they have to take care of the transportation of grain and grass. There are at least tens of thousands of stone grain in Zhujiazhuang, so Lijiazhuang and Hujiazhuang also have to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster, although there are many thieves in Liangshan, the main force is urgent to transport grain and grass, and divide an independent grain transportation team, which gives Xu Ning an opportunity.
Liang Shanbo sneered at Yanggu Tuyong, and turned a blind eye to it, and he would definitely not have thought that Yanggu County Tuyong would unite with Puzhou Tuyong and join forces to ambush them. And how to lead two thousand Tuyong to ambush and win this battle, that is Xu Ning's responsibility.
Yanggu Zhixian is quite sensible, he didn't think about fighting for power and profit at this time, nor did he despise Xu Ning, a 'thief with an army', and entrusted the county to Yong.
Yu Xu Ning thought about it, and if he was a hero of Liangshan in this battle, he would definitely lose.
The small mound is a high ground in the surrounding area, and Xu quietly watched the 'big army' pass under the mound, and then ambushed them one by one. At the same time, information continued to arrive like flowing water.
A grain transport team from Liangshanbo is coming.
Liu Tang and Ruan Xiaoqi led the men and horses to stay in Qinghe, and there were only five leaders that Lu Qian brought to Yanggu, except for Li Kui's trio, Han Bolong and Lu Zhishen.
This time, the person who led a battalion of men and horses to escort the grain and grass to Qinghe County was the flower monk Lu Zhishen.
There is no waterway, only dry roads can be passed, and it takes a lot of livestock and vehicles to transport more than 100,000 or 200,000 stone of grain. Lu Qian searched all the three villages of Dulonggang, and he couldn't find so many cars and horses, so he could only transfer them in batches.
With the people of Lijiazhuang and Hujiazhuang as the people's husbands, they were promised the benefits of going back and forth for five buckets of grain, and the carriage and horse fares were calculated separately, and the people of Hujiazhuang and Lijiazhuang scrambled to sign up. Only then did Lu Qian know that this 'big name' of Liang Shanbo turned out to be really reputable, trustworthy, and excellent.
Since the beginning of last year, Liang Shanbo has punished the strong and helped the weak, eliminated violence and peace, and spread quite widely for the name of Tianxingdao. And because the name of Liang Shanbo is set off by the blood of a local tyrant and inferior gentry, it is especially trusting. Even in a remote place like Dulonggang, they all know it.
Although the speed of information transmission in this ancient period is slow, Yanggu County is subordinate to Jeju Prefecture, which is a 'region', and no matter how slow it is, there must be a 'progress', right? But Lu Qian still felt that this might be a bonus to the Water Margin world.
Hujiazhuang, Lijiazhuang and Zhujiazhuang contributed a total of more than 700 carts, but the number of cattle, horses, mules and other livestock was more, but there were fewer carts. The small one could only carry four or five stone of grain, and the large one was only about ten stone. More than 700 pallet trucks seem to be quite a lot, but the actual transportation capacity is less than 5,000 stones.
Obviously, Lu Qian needed more carriages and horses to transport grain. Otherwise, with such a running force, thousands of people would have to spend a few months here.
Lu Qian calculated the 'wages' required to walk 5,000 stone of grain and grass, he originally wanted to learn from Song Gongming after beating Zhujiazhuang, and the people gave out a stone of grain, which was a little stingy compared to the benefits of fishing. Although Lu Qian only bought 200,000 stone grains, he was not more 'stingy' than Song Jiang!
But after he carefully calculated the account, his thoughts flipped over, that is, this person had five buckets of grain in his hands, and he felt pain.
He, Lu Qian finally knew how difficult it was for the army of the ancient Central Plains Dynasty to conquer the grassland, and how difficult it was to transport grain. This attrition can be devastating.
Lu Zhishen led the men and horses of the third battalion, guarded more than 700 carriages and horses, and slowly rushed towards Qinghe. The road between them may not be more than a hundred and fifty miles, but it is a blessing to be able to complete it in seven days.
I set out early in the morning, and I couldn't eat hot rice in my mouth, and everyone ate the extra food that was deliberately made yesterday, and the cold rice balls were kneaded.
At noon, they scribbled a meal of thick porridge, which was the longest meal the team had eaten on the march. Put all the pickled vegetables and wild vegetables into the porridge, there is salt and taste, and it is full, and this is enough.
The thick porridge in the third battalion also includes fish meal and meat sauce, but it is essentially salty porridge.
When a horn sounded in the hills, and thousands of Tuyong divided into left and right sides, stretched towards the queue, and stretched out a four- or five-mile-long queue of grain transportation before and after, Lu Zhishen was really startled.
Hunting geese all day long, he was finally pecked blind by geese. It's going to be terrible!
After all, he only had one central capital at hand at this time, and the three battalions, four regular soldiers, and one auxiliary soldier, were evenly arranged by him from beginning to end on the left and right of the entire grain team. Now that the enemy is attacking from both sides, and the number of troops is still so numerous, how can the third battalion stop it?
Not to mention that Lu Zhishen was bluffed, everyone was bluffed. Those people immediately fled with their heads in their hands, which further hindered the convergence of the people and horses of Liangshan. Xu Ning saw all this in his eyes, and could only sigh in his heart: This is heaven to make his own contributions.
However, in today's play, the biggest attraction is in the next battle, and the biggest reversal has come.
The right deputy of the third battalion is surnamed Zhou, he was originally the head of the first battalion, and in the expansion of the Liangshan battalion, some incumbents were transferred to form a new battalion, and some of the top figures were promoted to higher positions one after another. The right side battalion of the 3rd Battalion is one of them.
This person's name is Zhou Chunlai, and the reason why he can sit in the position of deputy of the third battalion, one of the two battalions of the main battle battalion, is because of his hard work ability and ability to strictly enforce discipline requirements.
It's a pity that these are all Zhou Chun's own thoughts. More people believe that one of the main reasons why Zhou Chunlai can sit in the position of the right deputy battalion of the third battalion is that he is Zhou Daming's younger brother.
It's not a blood brother, it's not a brother of the same race, it's just because they all have the surname Zhou, and then they recognize their younger brother. But this is also a younger brother.
Who among the small leaders of the cottage doesn't know that Zhou Daming is one of the henchmen of the big boss? Even the leaders had to say hello when they saw him.
In a word, many people think that Zhou Chunlai can sit on the right deputy battalion of the third battalion, and he has gone through the back door.
Zhou Chunlai is not a waste, he has been holding his breath in his heart, he wants to perform well on the battlefield and wash away his shame with real combat exploits. It's a pity that I didn't get a good opportunity in the previous battles.
Today's crisis is a great opportunity for him to wash away his shame. Even if he dies here, he doesn't want to retreat.
Seeing a large number of Tuyong who raised the banner of the Song army, they rushed to kill. Zhou Chunlai didn't think too much about it, with a snort, he pulled out his waist knife, and ran up first, shouting and ordering as he ran, "Follow me, follow me." ”
Such a move gave the No. 100 people of the 3rd Battalion, who were at a loss, a new signer and a backbone.
Hearing the sound of shouting and killing, the sound of the long knife unsheathed immediately sounded.
Because the 100 people in the right capital were originally stretched in a long line, it would be too much to queue up at this time.
There is no need to mention the formation or anything, only the most basic combat unit, the Wu, can still be guaranteed. The rest, team rate, head, what formation, distance and so on can't be managed.
Under the sudden encounter with the enemy, it is the most elite men and horses in the world, and it is impossible to straighten out the queue in the chaotic people's chaos, beating drums and gongs at a distance of more than 100 steps.
When Zhou Chunlai pulled out his knife and rushed towards the enemy, almost instinctively, he blew the whistle in his mouth, and the nearby soldiers also drew their knives, raised their spears, and followed him towards the enemy in a swarm.
