At the Dengzhou Mansion, Shi Jin asked someone to invite Zhiduoxing Wu Yong.

In the study, Shi Jin saw that Wu was used and asked, "When you sent someone to deliver a message and let me enter the city, the army was fully armed and entered the city in a high-profile manner, what was the reason?" ”

Wu said with his arched hand: "Marshal, you wrote to you before that you wanted to recruit talents, and your subordinates have seen your plan, although it is good, although there are many literati and businessmen who value profit and fame, there are also many who are timid and afraid of death. If you don't let them know that the marshal's soldiers and horses are all tigers and wolves, they can defeat the Liao army and protect their safety. I'm afraid that few dare to go to that dangerous place in Liaodong! ”

Shi Jin until he wanted to figure out people's hearts, he was by no means as good as Wu.

Hearing Wu Yong's explanation, Shi Jin nodded and said, "So that's the case, thank you Brother Wu Yong for the reminder." During this time, how many people have defected to our army? ”

Wu Yong said happily: "Since Captain Su read out the holy decree of appeasement, and Marshal you led the troops to attack the Liao State, the sun has been setting on people who have come to join our army this month. Now our Liangshan Army has recruited 20,000 soldiers and horses, plus the original 90,000 soldiers and horses, I am afraid that it will be 100,000 soldiers and horses in another month or two! ”

Shi Jin shouted excitedly: "Okay! Hahaha...... It seems that the original decision to 'submit' was a clever move. Now the people who come to join our army have a lot less worries and have taken the initiative a lot. In the past, if you wanted to recruit 20,000 soldiers and horses, you would not be able to do it in a year and a half, but now it has been achieved in just one month. ”

Wu Yong persuaded and said: "Yes! However, marshal, with the land of seven states now, although we have the benefit of salt and wine, it is already the limit to feed 100,000 soldiers and horses, and we can't afford to raise more! ”

Shi Jin nodded and said, "It's too much, I understand this truth." Then Shandong will not recruit troops first, and I want to recruit some men in Liao for the remaining 10,000 soldiers and horses to form cavalry. When our army conquers the entire Liaodong, it will not be too late to expand the army at that time! ”

Wu Yong said: "My subordinates know what to do. That's right, marshal. Liu Tang, the red-haired ghost of the original Tuota Heavenly King Chao Gai, said that he wanted to join our army, because the marshal was at war with the Liao army at that time, and his subordinates did not dare to send him to Liaodong, so they left him in Dengzhou. In addition to him, there are also Tang Bin, Cui Yi, Wen Zhongrong, Yizhou Han Bolong, and the four brothers of Taihu Lake, Fei Bao, Curly-haired Tiger Ni Yun, Taihu Jiao Buqing, and thin-faced Xiong Di Cheng. Do you want to see them?"

Shi Jin nodded and said, "Okay, I'll set up a banquet for them in the evening!" By the way, I have personally written hundreds of invitation posts, and then you will send someone to send them to the literati and celebrities all over Shandong, and the literati will have the same name, and I will personally write to invite them to better show my respect for them! ”

Wu Yong said: "Okay, I'll call someone to deliver it!" ”

……

After Wu Yong sent someone to deliver the letter, he also rushed to the dinner.

At the beginning of the moon, the lanterns of the Shifu are hung high, illuminating the mansion as bright as day.

Seeing Liu Tang and them approaching, Shi Jin hurriedly walked out of the courtyard door and said: "A few days ago, Shi Jin was busy attacking the Suzhou Mansion of the Liao State, not in Dengzhou, so I neglected a few people, please forgive me!" ”

Liu Tang and several people also hurriedly bowed their hands and said, "Don't dare!" Xiao Ke heard that the general defeated the Liao soldiers, and greatly increased the prestige of my Great Song Dynasty. Xiao Ke heard that the general was recruiting people to prepare to be recruited into Yanyun, and this matter was also Xiao Ke's long-cherished wish for many years. Xiao Ke is willing to go to the general's tent to be a pawn, please take it in! ”

When Shi Jin heard this, he stood up happily and said, "It is a great honor for Shi Jin to come to help. Quick, inside please. I've prepared a banquet for you. ”

In the atrium, more than a dozen desks were placed, and several people humbly sat down with each other.

After three rounds of drinking, Shi Jin said to Liu Tang, Tang Bin, Cui Wei, Wen Zhongrong, and Han Bolong: "We are all martial artists, and we don't like to beat around the bush like literati. Shi Jin said bluntly, a few people should know that the territory of Liao is vast, with vast and boundless grasslands and mountains. Especially on the northeast road of the Liao Kingdom, where there are continuous mountains and forests, there are more Jurchen tribes who are familiar with the terrain and brave and good at fighting. If our army continues to move north, sooner or later it will meet those warriors of the Jurchen tribe. Although there are infantry in our Liangshan army, there is a lack of infantry who are good at fighting between mountains and forests. In order to cope with the future battle of the mountains and forests, I intend to form a special army of mountain and forest infantry. I would like to invite a few generals and colonels to serve in this new army, I don't know what a few of them think! ”

In addition to the mountainous forests in the northeast, there are also mountainous forests in Goryeo, as well as in the southern part of China, and in South Asia, which are all mountainous forests.

In the future, if we want to attack these problems, it is absolutely necessary to form a special mountain and forest combat unit.

Lu Zhishen and Wu Song, the commanders of the infantry army, have straightforward personalities, and they are accustomed to the combat method of charging into battle, so let them set up mountain and forest troops that require a small range of small troops in the mountains and forests.

Therefore, Shi Jin felt that it would be better to let the new ones take refuge and form a new army, and perhaps the effect would be better.

Hearing that he would take on a heavy responsibility as soon as he came, Liu Tang and they didn't agree. A few of them hurriedly stood up and shouted: "The general values it so much, how dare Xiao Ke not do the work of dogs and horses!" ”

Shi Jin heard it and said with a smile: "Hahaha, there are a few people to help." Why can't he pacify the Liao State and recover Yanyun. Everyone, please! ”

"General, please!" Liu Tang hurriedly raised his wine glass and saluted.

After arranging Liu Tang and the others, Shi Jin looked at the red bearded dragon Fei Bao, the curly-haired tiger Ni Yun, the Taihu Jiao Buqing, and the thin-faced Xiong Di Cheng and said: "I heard that the four brothers of Taihu Lake all understand water nature, and they are also people who are used to driving boats on rivers and rivers. It's just that the oceans and rivers are different after all, and the methods of combat are also very different. If I put the four of you in the navy now, I'll hurt you. Therefore, I would like to ask a few people to first form a caravan in Dengzhou and familiarize themselves with the sea, and then transfer to the navy. It's not that Shi Jin looks down on the four, it's for the sake of the safety of the four brothers. Even a few veterans of our navy, Liu Jun, Zhang Heng, and Ruan Xiaoer, they all came over like this. Please understand! ”

At the beginning, when he heard that Liu Tang and the others had formed a new infantry army at the beginning, Shi Jin asked the four brothers to engage in a caravan, which was simply despising the four brothers. They wanted to leave on the spot, but when they heard that the three major heads of the Liangshan Navy had come over like this, they thought to themselves that maybe this sea was really very different from the river.

This sparked their curiosity to see what the ocean is like!

The four of Fei Bao also stood up and arched their hands and said, "The general must have a deep meaning in arranging this, and we have no objection!" ”

Hearing that these four people accepted, Shi Jin said happily: "I will ask the god operator Jiang Jing to allocate manpower and funds to the four tomorrow, so that you can form a caravan as soon as possible and be familiar with the sea." ”

Although the ocean is very different from the river, no matter how wide the river is, it has a bank, but the ocean is so vast that there is no end in sight.

If you are running a river, three or five days on a boat is considered a long time. But if you run the ocean, it is possible not to see the land for a month or two.

If you are not mentally prepared, boredom can drive a person crazy.

However, this was not the biggest reason why Shi Jin had to pay for them to form a caravan.

The biggest reason is that the goats transported from Liaodong are now selling like crazy in Shandong.
