Chapter Eighty-Eight: Occupy Another Mountain
Early in the morning of the second day, Li Zhu packed up and hurried to see Wang Lun.
Wang Lun had just finished breakfast and was studying with a map. Seeing Li Zhu, he directly talked about yesterday's plan, pointed to the map and said: "This land of Yan Zhao must not be sloppy, although there are Lu Junyi and Chai Daguan to take care of us, we must also have our own base." ”
Li Zhu was in a hurry, and he listened carefully at this time.
"You will tell Brother Zhu Wu that Hebei Yinmachuan, Wuma Mountain, and Baoqian Mountain should be connected and operated as a railway!"
Wang Lun has also said this a few times, but this time it is definitely implemented. Li Zhu looked at Wang Lun and thought of a question. "There is Deng Fei's old brother in Yinmachuan, Cui Ye in Baocalf Mountain, but there is no one to lead Wuma Mountain!"
"You don't have to worry about that!" These Wang Lun also had plans, signaling Li Zhu not to worry. "I want Deng Fei to return to Yinmachuan, and Bao Xu's cottage in Dashu Mountain will be abandoned and follow him all the way. There are Cui Ye and Wen Zhongrong in Baocalf Mountain, and they don't have to worry about him. ”
Saying that, Wang Lun paused, looked at Li Zhu and said: "It's just that Wuma Mountain is a new village, and the position of the owner of this village is no different?" ”
Seeing that Wang Lun couldn't make up his mind about the choice of the master of the Five Horse Cottage, Li Zhu suggested: "In terms of martial arts, it is natural that Master Lu, Shi Bao and Guanghui are the first choices, but the overall planning ability is really not enough!" What about Shi Dalang or the Ma Ling brothers? ”
Wang Lun didn't want the owners of the village to shout and kill, but he still had the means and prestige. Originally, he also wanted Shi Jin to be the owner of Wuma Mountain, but when he saw Li Zhu, he changed his mind.
"Hehe, why did the military advisor forget one person!"
Li Zhu, a figure like Wang Jin and Lin Chong, knew that Wang Lun would not be released, even Shi Xiu and Pei Xuan were also newcomers, and their ability and prestige were insufficient, so they couldn't think of a candidate for a while. "Who is my brother talking about?"
Wang Lun pointed at Li Zhu and smiled, "Don't military advisors know the truth that the virtuous do not avoid relatives!" ”
Virtuous do not avoid relatives! Liangshan is related to himself, only Li Chong!
Li Zhu didn't want Wang Lun to value his nephew so much, so he waved his hand again and again, "No, no, no!" How could he take on this responsibility! ”
Wang Lun clearly remembered that Li Yi was under Wang Qing of Huaixi, the chief general of Jishan, and the five generals under his command were known as the Five Tigers of Jishan, namely Yuan Lang, Ma Jin, Teng Ji, Teng Ji, and Ma Xun. Among them, Yuan Lang is the most fierce general, and he can fight for 150 rounds.
Li Xian can be the main general in this group of fierce generals, and he can lead the whole army with extraordinary natural martial arts. And he has the experience of outwitting Song Jun, so it can be seen that he is not incompetent.
Wang Lun thought of this, made up his mind, and said: "In my opinion, Li Xi will be competent, you and Brother Zhu will go to consult him later." Wuma Mountain is dominated by him, supplemented by Jiao Ting and Han Bolong. ”
"Good!" At this time, Li Zhu had to agree, if Li Zhu became the lord of a mountain, it would naturally be a good thing to be alone! There was also light on his face as an uncle.
After pausing for a while, Li Zhu remembered something, so he asked, "Brother, there is one more thing." Seeing Wang Lun looking at him, Li Zhu said again: "If Hebei is to drink Machuan, Wuma Mountain, and Baocalf Mountain into a corner, I don't know who to dominate?" ”
Wang Lun also thought about this, and replied directly: "The prestige of the Deng Fei brothers in Yinmachuan is insufficient, and the newly built places in Wuma Mountain are not strong enough. This time, I passed by Baoqian Mountain, and saw that Cui Ye and Wen Zhongrong were both the choice of generals, and the soldiers were good enough to eat, but they could succeed. ”
In fact, Wang Lun thought so, and was still waiting for Tang Bin to appear. With Tang Bin, it is more than enough to lead the soldiers of Hebei.
Hearing this, Li Zhu already understood, so he said, "Brother Cui Ye, I have seen it too." He is capable and broad-minded, but he is a first-class candidate. ”
Speaking of this, Wang Lun looked at the few places he had drawn on the map and sighed, "Hi...... These places should also be sent, but now we are guarding a water pool, but there are few naval talents! ”
Li Zhu had seen the map yesterday and vaguely remembered several places in Poyang Lake and Dongting Lake, as well as several overseas islands. He didn't have any friends from the navy to recommend, so he comforted Wang Lun casually: "Brother relax, according to the development of our Liangshan, the future of the navy talents will definitely not worry!" ”
Wang Lun also remembered that Liangshan still had Li Jun, Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun, but now they didn't know each other, and no one recommended them, so they couldn't recruit them, so they had to wait for the opportunity.
After saying a few more words, Wang Lun remembered that Li Zhu must have something to do when he came to him so early. So he asked directly: "Looking at the military expression, it seems that there is something?" ”
Li Zhu listened to Wang Lun's question, and arched his hand and said, "Brother! Heavy snow for several days, the outer wall of the right village is old, and there are more than 20 cracks on the night before. We waited for the repair overnight, but at dawn, there were still many collapses. At the end of the hour, the city wall collapsed in one piece, killing and wounding 16 brothers. ”
Wang Lun was shocked when he heard it, the right village is the gate of Liangshan, guarding the throat of the mountain, it is very important, the city wall collapsed as a whole, this matter is not trivial. There were also dozens of dead and wounded brothers, which was a non-combat attrition.
"The dead brother should be buried properly, and the family should be compensated, and when there is time, you and I will go to see the injured brother."
After instructing the handling of the casualties, Wang Lun said: "The matter of the city wall is urgent, and it needs to be dealt with quickly, do you have an idea?" ”
How dare Li Zhu slack off, he immediately pondered and pondered, and immediately made up his mind in his heart, and said: "Brother, this matter is not trivial, if it can be slowed down in the hot season, it is the middle of winter, and it is becoming a big disaster." Now it has been snowing heavily for several days, and there is a road that is cold before frost and cold after snow. According to the pre-snow inspection, the water pool has begun to freeze, and after the heavy snowfall, it must be completely frozen. If the official army attacks at this time, I will have no danger to rely on, and now the stone city has collapsed again, and the situation is very dangerous. This matter is related to the survival of Liangshan, and it must not be sloppy. ”
Wang Lun nodded frequently after listening, and Li Zhu was in charge of Liangshan administration, quite a general. I was not on the mountain, but I was also very relieved, and asked again: "What about the opinion of the virtuous brother?" How? “
Li Zhu stood up and bowed, and replied: "The younger brother has already taken countermeasures, but he has to borrow his brother's order to divide the troops and send generals." ”
In the past, Wang Lun was not on the mountain, and the tokens were handed over to Li Zhu to be in charge. Now Wang Lun is in the mountain, but he has taken it back.
Wang Lun immediately nodded and said, "Brother Xian, just arrange it." ”
Li Zhu's arrangement was: Shi Bao, Guanghui, Shan Shiqi, and Shi Jin each led 200 military horses and immediately camped ten miles away from Bo to guard against a sneak attack by the officers and soldiers; Li Kui, Ma Ling, Lu Zhishen and others led the troops and horses of the headquarters to be stationed behind the flanks to become a full force. The Ruan brothers' naval army returned to the mountain for the time being, and only put a few dangers where their hands were not frozen. In addition, Zhu Gui, Yang Lin and others were sent to Jeju and Yuncheng to listen to the movements of the officers and soldiers.
Today's Liangshan is not a few hundred people in the original book, and he has not yet entered the sight of the official army. At this time, there were many people and horses in Liangshan, and there were frequent exchanges of goods and personnel, which had long been in the eyes of the officials and soldiers. It's just that Liangshan didn't make any big moves, and the local governments were all safe. However, if there is a flaw in Liangshan, maybe someone is really greedy for merit, although Liangshan is not afraid, he can't be sloppy.
Seeing that Li Zhu was confident, Wang Lun agreed, "It's so good, the military advisor just go and arrange it!" ”
Li Zhu didn't leave, and asked again. "What about the city wall over here? Which brothers will do it? ”
"There are four people in this matter: Zhu Wu, Song Wan, Shi Xiu, and Cui Ye, and the Ruan brothers also have a role." Wang Lun replied.
At that moment, Li Zhudu was surprised, looked at Wang Lun and asked, "The Ruan brothers are in charge of the water army, and my brother doesn't know what to do with transferring them?" Then he said: "Zhu Wu is a scholar, and it is a miracle to rely on him for this matter of repairing the city wall." ”
Wang Lun didn't say anything, but said: "The military division will know later, but please follow the plan." ”
Li Zhu nodded and agreed, and immediately went to give the order. Wang Lun sent someone to invite the Ruan brothers.
After a while, the Nguyen brothers arrived in snow. "Brother, the snow is big, and the navy has been trained very much!"
Ruan Xiaoer entered the military tent and saluted Wang Lun: "Junior brother listens to the general's orders." ”
Wang Lun was not polite, and instructed: "Choose two hundred sergeants, prepare enough iron sticks and hammers, and each soldier must prepare a wooden barrel to use." ”
