Chao Gai said: "Okay, it's useless to Zhu Hu to fight, let's let it go." “

Luan Tingyu gave a deep bow and said, "Thank you, King Chao." ”

Li Kui next to him shouted: "The three bear goods of the Zhu family brothers are not worthy of your help, it is better to come and mix with my brothers." ”

Luan Tingyu couldn't say anything when Li Kui said this, and Chao Gai next to him said: "You don't say nonsense, go and help Chao Ran sort out the team and prepare to go back to Hujiazhuang." ”

Chao Gai turned his head to Luan Tingyu and said: "Even if the ability of the head of the sect is almost less than that of the head of the Tokyo Forbidden Army, why bother to live in a small village, not to mention that the three brothers of the Zhu family are blind, and they are not very capable, you are like a pearl here." ”

"When I was in danger, Zhu Taigong gave me a lot of help, so I made a master for these three brothers and taught some martial arts. Although these three people have bad conduct, but Zhu Taigong treats me very kindly, and where can I go if I am not here? Luan Tingyu said.

Chao Gai said: "The big husband should carry a three-foot sword and create a good foundation." If the head coach is willing, he can come to my group training, don't look at my group training is very small, but I have a foundation overseas. ”

"Oh, this." Luan Tingyu didn't expect Chao Gai to invite him so straightforwardly, and he was immediately a little surprised, "I'll take Zhuhu back first, and I'll talk about this later." ”

"Okay." Chao Gai agreed, asked someone to untie Zhu Hu, and then sent it over. Luan Tingyu said goodbye to Chao Gai and went back with Zhu Hu.

Chao Gai led the troops to Hujiazhuang, Hu Sanniang was very happy, now the construction of Hujiazhuang is also the same, the scale of the large village of nearly 3,000 people is not small, there is a defensive wall outside the village, because of the conflict with Zhujiazhuang, Zhuang Ding with weapons patrolling can be seen everywhere. Hu Sanniang said: "The village has vacated houses for soldiers, and they can bring people into the village." ”

Chao Gai said: "Those who are soldiers must have the appearance of soldiers, and the march must not disturb the people." The team's entry into the village will inevitably have an impact on the lives of the people, so it is better to find a wide area outside the village and set up camp. ”

Sanniang said: "Since you and I have already made a marriage, it is a family, and I will be in your village, not to mention that these soldiers are also from the village, and they will definitely not disturb the people." It's weirdly cold to live in a tent on this cold day. ”

"Military discipline must be strict, if Sanniang doesn't want to go, just arrange a few pigs and sheep, and send some firewood." Chao Gai said.

Hu Sanniang didn't know what to say, so he immediately commanded the team to set up camp two miles away from the village, and sent Pang Wanchun to search the nearby places five or six miles.

Although Hujiazhuang is mainly based on traditional agriculture, it accounts for about 10% of the business, and it also has Hucheng to do overseas trade, so it belongs to a wealthy village. Hu Sanniang immediately ordered someone to send five pigs and ten fat sheep to reward the soldiers.

Chao Gai only brought Jiao Ting and a few personal soldiers into the village, and Hu Taigong personally came forward to receive him, Hu Taigong was actually not very old, that is, he was in his sixties, probably because he was overworked when he was young, and his health was not good. I have to Hu Sanniang to accompany Chao Gai.

Hu Sanniang set up a banquet to entertain Chao Gai and others, Chao Gai and Hu Sanniang dined in the house, and Jiao Ting took people to eat in the corridor. Don't look at Jiao Ting's usual woodenness, but the basic human feelings are still understood, people eat in small couples, and it is naturally difficult to participate as a close companion, but they are responsible for protecting Chao Gai's safety, so they have to eat in the corridor. You can eat as much meat as you like, but you can't drink alcohol.

In the room, there are two people, Chao Gai and Hu Sanniang, and there are sumptuous dishes on the table.

Roast chicken, roast duck, roast mutton, stewed carp, very rich.

Hu Sanniang was still very considerate to help Chao Gai pick up vegetables and pour wine, but Chao Gai didn't dare to drink more.

Hu Sanniang said: "My brother doesn't know when he will be able to come back?" ”

"It's hard to say, I should be able to come back during the New Year. It's just that in the future, my brother will probably have to be adrift at sea for most of the year. I want your brother to find a big island from the sea to leave a way back for the regimental training, but now the world is becoming more and more muddy, and without a strong army to back it up, you can only let people eat it. Chao Gai said.

"That's the truth, this doesn't mean that the family wants to bully me because of the number of brothers." Sanniang said.

"Didn't that Li Ying from Lijiazhuang come out to say something fair?" Chao Gai asked.

Hu Sanniang said: "Don't mention that old fox, he probably knew that Zhujiazhuang had colluded with Dong Ping, if Dong Ping hadn't intervened, I think he would have come forward, but when it came to the government, he would definitely not interfere." ”

"I have already asked people to sue Dong Ping to the prefect, Dong Ping can't eat and walk around this time, even if he is not removed, he will not be trusted as before. Zhujiazhuang should be honest for a while when he gets this lesson, but when you marry my village next year, and your brother is not at home, who will be responsible for the safety of the village? ”

Hu Sanniang is also a headache, now Hu Sanniang is not small, marrying Chao Gai is a recent thing, Hu Cheng is wandering on the sea again, and Hujiazhuang lacks follow-up leaders.

"What then? Reinforcement of the village wall? Hu Sanniang said.

Chao Gai thought for a moment and said, "Strengthening the wall can only be used as one aspect. First of all, the Zhuang Ding team was reorganized, a squad of 10 people, a squad leader, a squadron leader, a squadron leader, a squadron leader, a brigade of 100 people, and a team leader. In this arrangement, five brigades were retained, and these five captains had to choose people who were powerful and powerful. Then, during the slack season, training should be strengthened, mainly to strengthen discipline training. Second, build a pepper fence wall outside the courtyard wall, you can imitate the model of Pantuo Road, so that there is one more barrier outside the village wall, the pepper tree grows fast, it can become a forest in two or three years, it is impermeable, and it is very suitable for fence walls. The third is to strengthen the village wall and prepare some rolling wood thunder stones to prepare in case. ”

"Hehe, what you said is like going to war, just because the three brothers of the Zhu family don't have this ability, and the two villages are all related to each other, so it's possible to make a small fight, and it's impossible to make a big fight." Hu Sanniang said.

"Otherwise, prevention of Zhujiazhuang is only one aspect. Now the court is chaotic, traitorous ministers are in charge, and the people are struggling to make a living. The Northern Jin Kingdom has gradually grown from a small tribe. Once this small Jin country is strong and replaces the Liao State, it will definitely wave its troops south, and it is not impossible for Shandong to become a place of four wars at that time, so it is good to prepare early. Chao Gai said.

After all, Hu Sanniang is a female streamer, and she can't see so far, but Chao Gai is his fiancé, and immediately said: "Okay, good, listen to you, I will start preparing tomorrow for the farming slack when the village has nothing to do, either beating the wife or scolding the children, tomorrow let them train the training, the stone quarrying, the village wall will definitely be reinforced." ”

"That's right, the Jin State is very strong in combat, much more powerful than the Liao State, our Great Song Dynasty has to pay tribute to the Liao State, and the Jin State is only willing to bow down."

"That's the truth, I also heard my brother say that the Jin army is the army of tigers and wolves." Hu Sanniang said.

Chao Gai said: "Zhuangli also needs a military leader to take charge of the troops. ”

Hu Sanniang said: "That's the reason, I recently selected a person from a few cousins who can take on a big responsibility." "Don't look at Hu Sanniang, who is usually very fierce, but she is obedient to Chao Gai, what she says and what she listens to.

This wine has been drinking the palm lamp, although the two have been married, but they have not yet passed the door, etiquette can not be crossed, Chao Gai took people back to the barracks to rest.

Hu Sanniang prepared an identical table of wine and food, which was packed in a food box.

Chao Gai asked, "What is this?" ”

"Give it to the lieutenants." Hu Sanniang said.

Chao Gai was not polite, he went back with wine and food, Chao Ran led the troops to patrol the camp, Li Kui, Pang Wanchun, and Zheng Tianshou were roasting the fire in the big tent.

Chao Gai immediately ordered someone to share the dishes with everyone, and Li Kui said: "It's better to be a brother, bring me a roast chicken for Li Kui." ”

Zheng Tianshou said: "The village sent pigs and sheep, and we have already eaten them." There are still twenty soldiers on patrol who have not yet eaten, so why not give them the dishes. ”

"Okay, it's up to you. Jiao Ting, you go to replace the patrol soldiers and let them come over for dinner. Chao Gai said.

The soldiers patrolling the camp came over soon, and it was cold to say that it was not cold, but fortunately, the clothes were very warm, otherwise it would be really difficult to pass the winter.

Chao Gai said: "It's hard to patrol the camp, hurry up and eat." ”

When the soldiers saw it, they were dumbfounded, it was all delicious, although the meal for regimental training was good, but the march and battle would not be so rich.

"This is sent by Hujiazhuang, let's eat it quickly."

The crowd was very moved, and then they began to eat. The night was uneventful, and when the morning dawned, suddenly the alarm horn sounded, which meant that someone was coming.
