Who remembers the time when the fresh clothes are angry.

Many times, people die and everything rests. The era of Zhujiazhuang's dominance is gone, and the rest will be Dulong Town, which is presided over by Liangshan.

After some personnel arrangements were determined, Chao Chong handed over the authority to Wu Yong, but he was ready to lead the troops to escort the supplies back to Liangshan.

After Wu used military divisions to sort out the affairs of Dulong Town, the important task was to use Dulong Town as the center to expand his influence to the surrounding villages, promote Liangshan's "armed tax resistance order", and collect a tax on the surrounding villages.

The three villages in Dulong Town will be exempted from taxes for one year because of the war.

After several bloody battles, the Liangshan army and horses had a serious shortage of personnel, and the only one with a relatively complete troop was Liu Tang's Fourth Infantry, and the two cavalry of Leopard Tao and Long Xiang.

Chao Chong decided to leave the fourth capital of infantry, the leopard Tao cavalry, and the dragon cavalry in Zhujiazhuang, with a total of more than 400 elite soldiers, which was enough to deter the surrounding government and Haoqiang. Lin Chong presided over the overall situation, assisted by Liu Tang and Yang Zhi.

The others were seriously understaffed, and Thunder suggested that people be selected from among the captives to join the army and replenish the troops. was rejected by Chao Chong.

None of them were qualified to recruit sergeants on their own, and their replenishment of troops could only be transferred from the Yangsan new barracks.

Sect Leader Zhang recruited more than 300 recruits for training a month ago, which was just enough to fill these more than 300 people into the capital.

And the more than 1,000 captives, Chao Chong naturally would not release them easily, but would bring them back to Liangshan, first labor reform for a period of time, and then select those who were willing to join the Liangshan army, and after entering the recruit camp for a month of training, they would be eligible to become soldiers in each capital.

This rule was set by Chao Chong himself, and of course he would not take the lead in breaking it.

However, considering the purpose of stabilizing the hearts of the people in Zhujiazhuang, Chao Chong issued the same money, a stone of grain, and a day off to those captives under the condition of blockading Zhujiazhuang.

Those who do not return before noon on the second day will be regarded as deserters and will be executed along with their families!

Villagers whose families have died in the war can receive funeral expenses of ten yuan and ten stone of grain.

The same standard applies to those captives in Lijiazhuang.

More than a dozen cavalry villagers who died in the battle also received funeral expenses.

For this reason, Chao Chong spent more than 2,000 yuan and more than 2,000 stone of grain.

However, in the long run, such efforts are still effective.

On the night of the release of the captives, there was a cry in the village.

Zhu Asi is a very ordinary villager in the village, with more than ten acres of land at home, and it is very hard to support his wife and children.

What's even more difficult is that he has been conscripted into the militia by the owner of the village since before the autumn harvest, and the family's farm work is completely on his wife, who gets up early and is greedy for the autumn harvest and has to take care of her five-year-old child, and complains to him a lot.

There are many villagers who have the same experience as him, and they all thought that the Liangshan thieves would come to grab food during the autumn harvest, but they were on guard every day, and after waiting for more than a month, the autumn harvest was over, and they didn't see the Liangshan people coming.

Just when they wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, the Liangshan people actually came. Zhu Asi and the three brothers of the Zhu family lay in ambush in the woods on the slope of the mountain for two days and two nights, and everyone was tired and sleepy. Who would have thought that the three brothers of the Zhu family were so angry that they took the initiative to take them down the mountain to provoke.

As a result, he was killed by a charge by the Liangshan people, and Zhu Ah Si was also taken prisoner.

Zhu Ah Si originally thought that he was dead, but he didn't expect that he would only be imprisoned for a few days, and there was no shortage of food and drink. And then when it was released, Zhujiazhuang changed the sky.

Zhu Asi ate a hot meal with his wife and children at home, hugged the child, and listened to his wife tell him what Liangshan did after breaking Zhujiazhuang, and regretted it in his heart.

The wife said: "Liangshan divided the Zhu family's land to tenants and those with little land, and our family also divided five acres of land. In addition, the tax is exempted for one year, and only one percent of the tax will be collected after that. The days will definitely get better and better, the weather is getting colder and colder, just take a few dollars from Liang Shan, pull some cloth for Xiaobao, and make a cotton clothes to wear. I'll give you a piece too, right? ”

The child in Zhu Asi's arms also said: "A few days ago, my mother said that Liangshan was eating people, but Xiaobao was frightened. It's good that Daddy is back, and Xiaobao is no longer afraid. ”

The wife smiled and pinched the child's face and said, "Mother is lying to you, that is Liangshan frying pork to eat, and the family will have more money in the future, and my mother will also fry it for Xiaobao to eat." ”

The child wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth with his fingers, and said, "That smells so good, mother, hurry up and make it for me." ”

The wife smiled and said, "Okay, okay, tomorrow my mother will go and cut two taels of meat." ”

Zhu Ah Si hugged the child tightly, but he was bitter in his heart, he had not told his wife that he had to return to the team at noon tomorrow, but seeing them so happy, he didn't know where to start.

If you can delay it for a while, I'll talk about it tomorrow.

On the second day, Zhu Asi spent more than a dozen dollars to go to the butcher in the village to cut half a catty of pork, and his wife also pulled a few green onions from the ground and fried a plate of fragrant vegetables.

The more noon it came, the more ugly Zhu Asi's face became, and he was finally discovered by his wife and asked softly, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Zhu Ah Si had no choice but to tell his wife the truth, and said: "Liangshan only gave us prisoners one day off, and we must return to the team before noon, but I really can't bear to ...... you."

The wife hurriedly said: "How can this be, can you not go?" ”

Zhu Ah Si shook his head and said: "Liangshan has an order, if you don't go back at noon, you will be treated as a deserter, and the whole family will be executed." ”

The wife's face changed drastically, and she grabbed her husband's hand, as if she was afraid that if she let go, he would fly away.

Zhu Ah Si looked at the child who was eating Zhengxiang, looked at the virtuous wife, gritted his teeth and said, "I have to leave in a while." This time I went to Liangshan with them, which was nothing more than building bridges and paving roads, and doing heavy work. If you perform well, you can join the soldiers, and you will be able to get a salary. I've asked everything, Liangshan is very high, and it must be no problem to feed you. ”

The wife panicked: "But it's easiest to die in war......"

Zhu Ah Si gritted his teeth and said: "Liangshan is so powerful, he always wins battles, and it is not so easy to die, as long as he makes military achievements, even if he dies, his family can receive another ten years." ”

His wife hurriedly covered his mouth and said, "What is not dead, how unlucky." No taboos, no taboos. Don't say anything like that again. ”

Zhu Ah Si sighed, I knew today, why bother in the first place, this Zhu Chaofeng family really hurt me.

After noon, gathering all the people, Chao Chong instructed Lin Chong to guard the city and cooperate with Wu Yong's military division. After that, he took the men and horses to escort the captured grain, grass, money, and materials back to Liangshanbo.

After returning to Liangshan, Chao Chong held a meritorious service meeting. The participants will be rewarded for this time, and the stars on the military badges will be lit up by the opposing military meritorious personnel.

After that, it was the funeral of the soldiers who died in battle, and Chao Chong carried the coffin again and buried these dead warriors in the martyrs' cemetery in the back mountain of Liangshan.

After the merit meeting, Chao Chong distributed the recruits in the recruit camp to each capital to replenish his troops. The strength of the troops was also readjusted.

Thunder First Capital Pikemen;

Wu Song's second sword and shield soldiers;

Ruda's 3rd Capital Spearmen;

Liu Tang's fourth capital Pu Daobing;

Huang Xin's fifth sword and shield soldier.

Leopard Tao rides, armed with spears and waist knives.

Longxiang rides, equipped with a simple sword, bow and arrow.

In addition, the formation of 100 archers was formed, and the fourth capital, Yuhou Chaosheng, was transferred out to serve as the head of the archers.

A few families are happy and a few are sad. On the third day after Liangshan broke through Zhujiazhuang, He Tao, the arrest of Jeju Mansion, finally took Liu Guang's family back to Jeju Mansion from the foot of Rouge Mountain.

After that, He Tao happily took Liu Guang, Liu Qi, and Liu Lin to see the new prefect Jiang Tianyue.

Liu Guang is in his forties, with a serious appearance, three locks of beard, floating on his chest. The two sons, Liu Qi and Liu Lin, are also slender and very strong.

Jiang Tianyue was overjoyed and said, "Sure enough, a talent!" It's just that I heard that the virtuous father and son are both strong in martial arts, I don't know if it's true? ”

Liu Guang also served as a defense envoy of a state, and in the face of Jiang Tianyue, he was neither humble nor arrogant, his hands were clenched into fists, and his voice was loud, and he said: "Please go to the school to have a look!" ”

When everyone came to the school field of the barracks, Liu Guang was dressed in cloth, carrying a gun across a horse, and a strong bow and feather arrows were hung next to the victory hook. He saluted Jiang Tianyue with his fists, his legs clamped the horse's belly, and the war horse galloped forward, Liu Guang's spear flew like a dragon, playing very beautifully, making Jiang Tianyue dazzled and applauded loudly.

Liu Guang was not sad or happy, but he was depressed. How could a real battlefield killing spear be so fancy? But before he came, He Tao told him that Master Jiang is illiterate, no matter how fast, ruthless, accurate, and stable you are in the killing and spearmanship, Lord Jiang can't see it, but thinks that your martial arts are mediocre, but those bells and whistles make people can't take their eyes off and shout wonderful.

And the result of the facts, indeed, how Tao said. When this Jiang Master saw Liu Guang playing with guns like this, he really decided that he was strong in martial arts, which was rare in the world.

Liu Guang as a general, also has the dignity of a general, he does not want to be like a street performer all the time, so after the spear has performed two routines, he hung the spear on the victory hook, picked up a hard bow with five buckets of stone, pinched out three arrows, bitten two arrows in the mouth, an arrow on the string, in the galloping of the war horse, look at the flagpole fifty steps away, an arrow shot over, the horse is like a wind, the arrow is like a meteor, only to see a white light flashed, the feather arrow was nailed to the flagpole fifty steps away, the tail feathers are still "buzzing" vibration.

Jiang Tianyue, who was watching from the sidelines, and a cadre of soldiers in the barracks applauded when they saw this.

Liu Guang kept moving, drove the horse and continued to gallop, but took out two arrows from his mouth, put them on the string together, pulled the bow like a full moon, and shouted "Look!" ”

The two arrows shot out together, but on the way, they became one after the other, and the two sounds of "boom, boom" were nailed to the flagpole before and after.

Coincidentally, these two arrows actually broke the rope on the flagpole, and the big banner with the word "He" was shot to the ground.

If the flagpole is as thick as a bowl, the rope is as thick as a little finger. Therefore, the difficulty of shooting the flagpole and the rope of the flag is not the same. From a visual point of view, it is also more shocking.

So Lord Jiang and the onlookers were boiling for a while, and those soldiers shouted: "The general shoots!" "The general is mighty!"

Liu Qi and Liu Lin saw their father play so extraordinarily, and they were also honored.

Only He Tao's face twitched twice, looking at the banner embroidered with his "He", he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, and secretly thought: He must have done it on purpose! It must be so!

Liu Guang was triumphant, drove the horse back to Jiang Tianyue's side, turned over and dismounted, half-knelt on the ground, hugged his fists and said: "Carving insect skills, you are ugly in front of adults, please correct adults!" ”

Jiang Tianyue laughed, helped Liu Guang up, and said: "I have the help of the general, like a tiger with wings, from now on, why not be afraid of the Liangshan thieves!" ”

Liu Qi and Liu Lin also stepped forward to perform, but they were stopped by Jiang Tianyue and said: "The two sons are also a talent, the tiger father has no dogs, and he is worthy of being a general!" Now is the time for me to hire people in Jeju Prefecture. I wonder if the Hyun father and son are willing to go to my Jeju Mansion? ”

Liu Guang and his two sons rushed over hundreds of miles away, didn't they just want to be officials, so they naturally pretended to say: "Lord Jiang appreciates, just like drought seedlings have to meet rain and dew, ditch fish have to meet streams, and the kindness of knowing is difficult to repay, I am willing to offer an eight-foot drive for adults to drive!" ”

"Good!" Jiang Tianyue was overjoyed, he was new to Jeju, and there were few henchmen around him, and now he was able to subdue the three generals, which was very important for him to control Jeju City. Then he said: "Now that the Jeju regimental training envoy is absent, thousands of soldiers have no one to lead, Jiang can look forward to the general, it is really a great luck, I will write to the imperial court to watch the general as the Jeju regimental training envoy, and the two sons are also serving as officers in the army, so good!" ”

Liu Guang and his two sons were overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down to thank them.

Jiang Tianyue ordered someone to arrange a mansion for Liu Guang and his son, and rewarded him with gold and silver, a BMW horse, and armor. A moment of grace.

He Tao's eyes widened on the side, and he was secretly anxious in his heart, when the prefect asked him to invite Liu Guang and his son, he didn't say that. So he hurriedly said: "My lord......"

Jiang Tianyue thought that He Tao was still there, so he said: "Your credit is not small, so you will be promoted to half a level and enter the regimental training camp as a deputy envoy." ”

He Tao's pupils shrank suddenly, his eyes glanced at the downed banner, and he secretly hated in his heart: "Liu Guangpifu must have done it on purpose, and I called him a brother in vain!" What a villain! ”

Liu Guang saw that He Tao's face was unhappy, and he felt a little guilty in his heart, but after thinking about it, he was the state city defense envoy in Yizhou, and he was at the same level as the regimental training envoy, and he was arrogant in his heart and was unwilling to succumb to He Tao's "one ear". 's dissatisfaction with He Tao also became selectively ignored.

Liu Qi and Liu Lin didn't take He Tao in their eyes, so they naturally didn't care about his opinion.

Jiang Tianyue set up a banquet in the government to entertain Liu Guang and his son, and discussed the matter of reuniting the army to attack Liangshan, and did not mention it for the time being.

In the following days, the Jiang prefect hosted a banquet for Liu Guang's father and son, and the relationship quickly warmed up. One side praises that he has to meet a good general, and the other side sighs that he hates to meet late.

He Tao was depressed and abnormal, on this day, the depressed He Tao drank too much, and unconsciously walked to the residence where Liu Guang was arranged, and wanted to go in, but was stopped by Liu Guang's housekeeper, saying that Liu Guang's father and son had not returned from going out, and there were too many female dependents in the family, so they did not welcome outsiders.

As soon as he heard this, he immediately scolded, Liu Guang's family was still picked up by He Tao from the foot of Yizhou Rouge Mountain, and they got along day and night for five or six days, Liu Guang's wife wanted to call herself "uncle", and Liu Guang's daughter and daughter-in-law wanted to call herself "uncle". Why are you now an outsider?

Liu Guang's father and son were strong in martial arts, and they couldn't afford to provoke themselves, and they couldn't imagine that a little housekeeper would dare to stop them, so they scolded the housekeeper of Liu's mansion for a bloody squirt, and after being in a good mood, he left staggeringly.

As soon as He Tao left, a sixteen-year-old girl turned out from behind the door, looked at He Tao in the distance, turned her eyes, and thought secretly.

At night, when Liu Guang came home and listened to the housekeeper tell him about the day's events, he was also furious, he regarded He Tao as a friend in vain, he dared to insult his family, and sooner or later he would give him a good look!

At this time, a petite and delicate girl wearing a green Luo shirt, like a hibiscus out of the water, walked in with a tray and said, "When my mother saw that my father was returning late, she boiled sobering soup and asked her daughter to send it." ”

Liu Guang has always regarded his lovely daughter as a pearl in his palm, holding it in the palm of his hand for fear of hurting, holding it in his mouth for fear of melting, and even did not hesitate to turn his face with Gao Feng, the prefect of Yizhou, for the sake of this daughter. Seeing his daughter come in with the decanting soup, he waved his hand back from the housekeeper, took the decanting soup, and said with a smile: "I make you worried, but I am really happy for my father these days, and it is really happy to be able to make a comeback and meet the Ming Mansion." ”

The girl was Liu Huiniang, she walked behind her father, gently slapped him on the shoulder, and said, "Has my father heard the story of Gongye Chang?" ”

Liu Guang said with a smile: "My daughter's Zhuge is going to tell a story to her father again, let's hear it." ”

Liu Huiniang said: "Gongye Chang is one of the seventy-two disciples of Confucius, and the secular legend says that Gongye Chang can understand the language of various birds. It's magical. ”

Liu Guang said with a smile: "Confucius is a saint, a sage under the saint, it is not surprising that he has this magical ability. ”

Liu Huiniang continued: "One day, Gongye Chang heard the harrier eagle say: "Gongye Chang, Gongye Chang, there is a sheep in Nanshan, you eat its meat, I eat its intestines." "Gongye Chang agreed and went, and sure enough, he got a dead sheep."

Liu Guangdao: "If my father has this kind of magical ability, there will be no need to send any scouts on the march, haha"

Liu Huiniang said: "But Gongye Chang didn't want to give the intestines to the harrier eagle to eat, but brought them home by himself." The harrier eagle has held a grudge ever since. Soon after, the harrier eagle came to report again, as last time, and the chief went again. From afar, he saw several people talking around something. Gongye Chang thought it was another dead sheep, and he was afraid that he would be snatched away by others, so he shouted from afar: "I killed it." That's what I killed! When he ran over, it was the corpse of a person. The people then arrested the chief and sent him to the government. The county order inquired about the case, and the chief of public defense repeatedly pleaded, and the county order said: "You yourself said, 'I killed', why do you want to deceive me?" Gongye replied wordlessly.

Liu Guang couldn't laugh anymore, he also heard what his daughter said, so he said, "Ah Xiu, do you want to tell your father something?" ”

Liu Huiniang said: "When the father does things, the daughter doesn't want to talk much, but just wants to remind the father that if he is the chief of the Gongye, he must guard against the harrier eagle!" ”

Liu Guang fell into deep thought, and sighed for a long time: "My father was carried away by the joy of a comeback, and he actually ignored many key matters. Fortunately, my family has a female Zhuge to remind me, otherwise I will repeat the mistakes of the past as a father! ”
