On August 20, Chenqiao Town, the sun was setting, a pavilion on a small earthen hill, Hu Sanniang sat there with her knees crossed, looking at the direction of Bianjing, and she was a little distracted.

Not long after, Lin Chong, who was temporarily busy with the work at hand, walked over, looked at the sunset, turned around and sat down beside her, and held Hu Sanniang's slender jade hand.

Hu Sanniang immediately blushed a little and peeked at Mei Jiasheng and Wei Chibin not far away, and found that the two were holding binoculars and looking into the distance stupidly, so she was relieved and stretched out her hand to rub the back of Lin Chong's hand.

"Xianggong, have the scouts been arranged?"

Lin Chong saw that everyone was busy and no one paid attention to this, so he leaned over and kissed Hu Sanniang's slightly red pretty face, and then said: "Well, two thousand hard spies were sent out, all equipped with enemy bows and binoculars, and I believe it is enough to completely isolate Bianjing City." ”

From ancient times to the present, intelligence has always played a key role in the victory or defeat of wars, and Lin Chong naturally knows this.

Thinking about the Gulf War in the future, the first thing US imperialism did was to dispatch stealth planes and Tomahawk missiles to destroy Iraq's early warning radar station, and directly beat the opponent into blind and deaf.

Then he took the initiative and fought as much as he wanted.

Lin Chong first sent scouts to the same purpose, that is, to cut off the connection between Bianjing City and the army of King Qin outside, completely isolate Bianjing City from the outside world, and make the center of the court become blind and deaf.

Then the Liangshan army surrounded the point and sent reinforcements, constantly transmitting desperate information to Bianjing City and damaging its morale; Or pass false information to Bianjing City to make it make wrong judgments.

When the morale of Bianjing City became lower and lower, the Liangshan army suddenly launched a fierce attack on it, as long as it could occupy a section of the city wall and open the city gate like the Jin soldiers in later generations, it did not need to enter the city, and it could force the imperial court to sue for peace with the Liangshan army.

To this end, Lin Chong not only sent out 2,000 of the most elite hard spies at once, but also equipped 1,000 of them with the most advanced semi-automatic weapon of the Liangshan Army-the enemy bow; And equip each captain with a monocular.

It is to avoid the situation like in history when Yang Zaixing mistakenly walked (the real situation should be patrolling) to the Xiaoshang Bridge, and a small group of troops crashed into the encirclement of the cavalry.

With the telescope, the scouts of the Liangshan Army can be the first to discover the enemy, the first to judge the enemy's type and number, and make judgments in advance.

Speaking of which, this is also thanks to the system.

In fact, Lin Chong was determined to develop a telescope a long time ago, but the Liangshan Military Engineering Bureau spent a huge amount of manpower and material resources, and it took several months, and there was still no way to really light up this science and technology tree.

There is no other reason, it is really with the current mechanical level of Liang Shanjun, it is too difficult to grind out qualified lenses.

Even if Lin Chong has the advantage of being a traverser, he roughly knows that grinding lenses is to use alumina powder as abrasives and polishes, and then use sandpaper to polish them in warm water, and Liang Shanjun also has ready-made glass.

But it's one thing to know, it's another thing to do it.

Although Lin Chong told Ye Meng and Li Ming their method, the lenses they grinded out in the past few months were either unqualified or not smooth and translucent enough, and finally spent a great deal of money to make a telescope experiment, and the effect was not ideal.

Fortunately, the last time Lin Chong went on an expedition to Liao, he looted more than 10 million pieces of gold, silver and wealth, and after Lin Chong put some of them into the system, he found that he already had enough money to upgrade the system.

However, the system does not mean that you can upgrade if you have money, but that you have to spend 10 million yuan in the system.

So on the night he returned to Liangshanbo, after accompanying Zhang Zhenniang and Hu Sanniang for more than half a night, Lin Chong got up quietly just after the third watch in the morning and came to the warehouse to buy a lot, which successfully upgraded the system.

After the system is upgraded, not only can you buy the top weapons in the Cold Weapon Period, such as the Great Song Dynasty's Divine Arm Bow, the Bed Crossbow, and the Qingtang Qizi Armor of the Western Xia; Ready-to-eat food such as bread, biscuits, instant noodles and other dry food can also be purchased in the military supply option, as well as equipment such as sapper shovels, marching blankets, and marching water bottles.

Then, in the same way, as long as you pay ten times the price, you can directly skip the level to buy the next level of equipment and materials without providing materials, such as the most basic smoothbore gun in the weaponry, such as the compass in the quartermaster, telescope, self-heating military rations, etc.

And there is also a good news, that is, the first upgrade of the system needs to cost 10 million guan, and the money required for the second upgrade is not ten times but twice as much as Lin Chong feared, that is, as long as another 20 million guan is consumed, Lin Chong can skip the next level to buy weapons and equipment at the next level, maybe he can buy a Mini rifle, or even a rear-firing rifle.

Seeing that no one noticed this, Hu Sanniang was obediently hugged by Lin Chong into her arms, leaning her head on Lin Chong's broad shoulder, enjoying this rare time for the two.

Far away, in the open space south of Chenqiao Town, countless soldiers and horses were still practicing and busy, and some sergeants who had nothing to do for the time being even caught and killed there.

The two men each wore iron armor and even face armor, and stabbed each other with spears wrapped in cloth.

From time to time, someone was stabbed in the lower ribs or lower abdomen, curled up on the ground in pain, but after a while, he could always stand up again, gritted his teeth and continued to "fight".

From time to time, the sound of shouting and killing came to Lin Chong.

This is a place full of male hormones, and in it, Hu Sanniang, who wanted to prove that she was not inferior to men, didn't feel anything at first.

But gradually, Hu Sanniang became a little less adaptable, perhaps marrying Lin Chong and loving husband and wife awakened her shy girlish nature.

However, in order to spend more time with Lin Chong, she is still very willing to go out with the army and often accompany her, but when Lin Chong can't accompany her, Hu Sanniang likes to be alone more and more.

"The morale of the sergeants is very high!"

Snuggling up to Lin Chong's shoulder, Hu Sanniang suddenly said.

"Yes, this is the soul of the Han army! In fact, the men of the Han family have never lacked bloodiness and generosity and enterprising, but they were suppressed and destroyed by Zhao Song's self-abolition of martial arts before! ”

Lin Chong smiled, and according to the feedback he received from instructors and instructors at all levels, he could roughly guess the reason.

First of all, it is naturally because of the generous treatment in the Liangshan army, not only the military salary is sufficient, but the food standard on weekdays is also extremely high, and all kinds of things are distributed throughout the year for clothing, food, housing and transportation, and no one dares to do anything on it.

In fact, this alone is enough for the sergeants to serve with all their hearts.

The reason is also simple, there is a comparison to hurt, and the corruption in the Song army is too serious.

Because of the fear of the dictatorship below, the Song Dynasty has always been a thing, and many people and many yamen are in charge of it, so there are too many people who can do anything about the army's salaries and the supply of various materials in the army.

After the geese plucked their feathers, many yamen withheld corruption layer by layer, and often less than 20% of the food and materials distributed to the soldiers were also available.

For example, Zhang Xiucen once said that the annual military expenditure of their Western Army was enough to 30 million yuan in the heyday of the Western Army, but the sergeants still did not know how to keep the black rice for a few years, and sometimes they would even go hungry.

It was because the soldiers could only threaten the generals and the turbans who were in charge of their money and food when they were fighting.

But in any war, without real cash, wine and meat, the sergeants will absolutely refuse to open and contribute.

However, all the salaries and materials of the Liangshan Army can all be paid to the officers and men in the army.

In addition to material reasons, there are also ideological reasons.

The instructor system that Liangshan Army has never relaxed since it became an army, and the ideological education that has never been interrupted every night; The instructor goes down to the grassroots level and can call each soldier by name and know what is going on in their home.

The chief generals of the army, especially the instructors and instructors at all levels, shared weal and woe with the non-commissioned officers, and often talked with the non-commissioned officers, and so on, all of which made the non-commissioned officers willing to serve their lives.

In the end, it awakened the sense of honor and enterprising spirit of these children.

Whether it is brainwashing or propaganda, anyway, now the sergeants and soldiers of the army all firmly believe that they are saving the world and doing a great cause of supreme glory, and the sense of honor and pride is simply overwhelming.

In addition, since the Liangshan Army became an army, it has always regarded the Jurchens as its greatest enemy, and the history of the rise of the Jurchens and the reasons for their rise have also been mentioned many times in lectures every night.

Then everyone will find that the rise of the Jurchens is similar to the Liangshan army, the same is the corruption of the court, the emperor is faint and the ministers are treacherous, and the army is unbearable; It is also the emergence of a large number of heroes and natural generals from within!

All the conditions that the Jurchens have, Liang Shanjun almost has!

And the Jurchens do not have the Liangshan Army, such as the enemy bow, such as the cold forging armor, such as the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Rectification, such as a thousand horses, the god-like Lin army master!

Moreover, the Liangshan army also defeated the Jurchen Hu cavalry with fewer enemies and more enemies, and captured the Jurchen fourth prince Wanyan Wushu and the fierce general Wanyan Yinshu!

Our Liangshan army is even stronger than the Jurchen army! And the Song State is even weaker than the Liao State!

The Jurchen barbarians can break the Liao army of 700,000 with 20,000, establish the country as the emperor, and lay down a small half of the territory of the Liao State, why can't our Liangshan army?

Once that day comes, now all the soldiers of the Liangshan Army are the founding fathers of the country, and they are the heroes of Conglong! This credit is enough to lie on it and eat until you die of old age!

This is just the idea of ordinary soldiers, many generals like Yang Zhi and Wu Song who are strong in martial arts and more motivated are not without the ambition of being a marquis and a prince of the country, a wife and a son, and a famous general in Lingyan Pavilion and leaving a name in history.

In particular, Chai Jin's deeds somehow spread among the middle and senior generals of the Liangshan Army.

It turned out that the master of Lin Jun had the ambition to overthrow Zhao Song and win the world early on; It turned out that the Lord of the Lin Army actually promised that after the matter was completed, he would give Chai Daguan a piece of land as big as Hebei Road, and crown him as the king of Zhou, hereditary replacement!

It is said that later several military advisors knew about this incident and went to the Lord of the Lin Army to advise, thinking that the world was still unified, and the territory of China should be flawless, so how could there be a country within a country?

However, the answer given by Lord Lin was that when the time came, he could expand his territory overseas, and the land promised to Chai Daguan would naturally not be the inherent territory of China.

Then some people will think in their hearts, after the Chai officials go up the mountain, they will also take care of the logistics and the reception of the banquet, how can they have any merit?

As a general in the army, if he has made a lot of achievements on the battlefield, I can't say that the brother of the military lord will also make himself a king at that time, even if it is just a nominal king, at least a king!

Therefore, thinking of the infinite possibilities in the future, everyone is like being beaten with chicken blood, and no one is lazy when they usually practice; In wartime, they rushed forward with a roar, and no one could stop them from gaining military achievements!

With so many ideas, it is understandable that the morale of the whole army is high and the spirit is extremely high.

Although Hu Sanniang's ideas are simple, she also knows some of the ideas of the soldiers.

She hummed, leaned her head on Lin Chong's shoulder, smelled the good smell of the man who was her husband and lover, and gently rubbed the other party's cheek.

"Xianggong, will the imperial court agree to make peace this time?"

Lin Chong enjoyed the tranquility and warmth of this autumn day, smiled slightly wryly, and hugged her shoulders: "Who knows? The mentally ill have a wide range of ideas, and the mentally handicapped children have a lot of joy, who knows what kind of decisions this strange group of monarchs will make? ”

Lin Chong has always been relaxed in front of his two wives, so Hu Sanniang and Zhang Zhenniang have heard Lin Chong talk about this kind of incomprehensible witticism more than once, and they don't feel funny at this time, so they asked with a smile: "Xianggong said that he didn't understand again, the mentally ill have a wide range of ideas, and the mentally handicapped children are more happy?" What does this mean? ”

Lin Chong smiled, he really wanted to tell her all kinds of strange things done by Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan (Song Qinzong) and others in the late Northern Song Dynasty, especially the stories of the Liujia Divine Soldiers, but he still held back.

"Heh, just kidding. That is to say, for Zhao Ji, a ridiculous and frivolous official, as well as the group of turbans in the court, they don't have to feel strange about what kind of decisions they make. ”

Hu Sanniang pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Xianggong, I found that I can't understand you more and more!" And the Liangshan Army has changed really much, more than half a year ago, we were still incognito, secretly developing, and now we dare to surround Bianjing City, which was unthinkable before! ”

Lin Chong smiled, looking around, no one was paying attention, Mei Jiasheng and Wei Chibin, who were not far away, were still stupidly looking at the scenery in the distance with binoculars, probably observing (peeping) acquaintances in the distance.

Lin Chong quietly put a hand into Hu Sanniang's chest, and the girl in her arms was shocked, but she didn't resist, but hurriedly covered it lightly with one hand, and her face turned red.

I heard Lin Chong say with a smile: "You will understand more and more in the future." As for the changes, think about the Jurchens, at the beginning, there was still a tribal alliance of only more than 3,000 armor soldiers, and after they were determined to oppose the Liao, they not only claimed the emperor and founded the country in half a year, but also won a great victory in the battle of Hubu Dagang in less than a year......"

As he was talking, he saw a person running over from afar, and Mei Jiasheng and Wei Chibin, who were not far away, immediately put down the binoculars in their hands and greeted them.

Lin Chong couldn't help sighing, reluctantly withdrew his right hand, turned his head to give the girl in his arms an apologetic expression, and stood up: "It should be someone from the imperial court who came to give an answer and spy on the military situation, I'll take a look." ”

At this time, the two senior bureaucrats of the Zhao and Song dynasties, named Su Yuanjing, and He Li, two high-ranking bureaucrats of the Zhao and Song dynasties, had already come all the way to the Liangshan military camp in Chenqiao Town, looking at the Liangshan soldiers who were screaming and their morale was extremely high, as well as the wolf-like eyes they projected.

The two doctors who were naturally afraid and wary of the warriors were suddenly shocked, but they became more and more determined in their hearts, this gang of rebellions must be eliminated, otherwise the story of the five generations of martial artists in the late Tang Dynasty who brought disaster to the country and the people will be staged again! And they, the scholars and doctors, will be crushed to death by these brutal warriors again!
