Chao Chong is a generous man, but at the same time very stingy in some things. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After each battle victory, in addition to the 1,000 Wen reward for participating in the battle, and the monthly reward bonus after the military merit. Chao Chong does not give special financial rewards to soldiers and generals.

This kind of money reward is also something that Chao Chong has been deliberately avoiding.

Some people say that under the heavy reward, there will be brave men. It is true that the use of money can boost morale, but the morale that is boosted by money will inevitably dissipate because of money.

Arbitrary financial rewards can only raise arrogant soldiers, and a formal and strictly forbidden financial system can raise an invincible and strong army that abides by discipline.

Therefore, Chao Chong is very generous in the army, but he is very stingy in money and rewards. He would rather use the money to buy wine and meat to reward the army than to reward him with money.

For example, this time when he returned to Liangshan from Zhujiazhuang, Chao Chong specially asked Zhu Gui to go down the mountain to purchase a large amount of wine and pork, and gave the soldiers a two-day holiday, with no restrictions on wine and meat. Since then, the supply of meat has been incessant.

So after ten days, the armies no longer had the fatigue of the last battle, and they all looked red.

That's exactly what Chao Chong wants to see.

The more you lead, the more you have to develop, and the more you lag behind, the more you have to beat people.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was small and had few people, and the more they farmed, the weaker their strength became, and they were finally destroyed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

**Hachi is small and has few people, but it continues to plunder and conquer, and finally establishes a country.

The territory is small and I still want to farm, but the more I plant, the bigger the gap with the other party. Constantly fighting and fighting to get stronger and stronger like a snowball is the road to survival and development of Liangshan.

Even after plundering 90,000 stone of grain and 40,000 yuan of money from Zhujiazhuang, Chao Chong did not stop the pace of his war.

In the early morning of the second day, the soldiers and horses who had a full meal gathered in the school field, and Chao Chong looked at the high-spirited generals with high spirits, and his heart was surging.

After the battle of Zhujiazhuang, after the evaluation of military merits:

Li Kui has 76 military merits, is a four-star non-commissioned officer, and has three swords and four stars on his chest.

Bao Xu's military merit is 65 points, he is a three-star non-commissioned officer, and he has three three-star military cards on his chest.

Zhou Tong's military merits are 38 points, he is a five-star warrior, and he has two swords and five stars on his chest.

Yu Bao's four military merits are 37 points, and he is a five-star warrior, with two swords and five stars on his chest.

Lin Chong's military merit is 52 points, he is a two-star non-commissioned officer, and he has three swords and two stars on his chest.

Yang Zhi's military merit is 51 points, he is a two-star non-commissioned officer, and he has three swords and two stars on his chest.

Thunder military merit is 71 points, a four-star non-commissioned officer, and a military card with three swords and four stars on his chest.

Wu Song's military merit is 79 points, he is a five-star non-commissioned officer, and he has three swords and five stars on his chest.

Luda's military merit is 78 points, he is a five-star non-commissioned officer, and he has three swords and five stars on his chest.

Liu Tang's military merit is 42 points, he is a one-star non-commissioned officer, and he has three swords and one star on his chest.

Huang Xin's military merit is 67 points, he is a three-star non-commissioned officer, and he has three three-star swords on his chest.

Chao Yang, Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, Dongfang Xiao, Shen Tulie, Li Zhong, Jiao Ting, Chen Cheng, Yang Xiong, Shi Xiu, Shi Qian and others also achieved good military merits, and the golden stars on their chests shone brightly.

The captains of the other teams, the captains of each team, and the ordinary soldiers, the military badges on their chests were also more or less lit with a few stars, representing their honor.

After Chao Chong briefly boosted his morale, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go!" ”

A cadre of generals responded with a bang, and walked down the mountain with neat steps.

For an army that has won successive victories, there is no need to go out of their way to boost morale, and the best way to boost morale is to bring them victory.

At this time, Dulong Town, under the management of Wu Yong, became orderly and orderly.

Recently, in addition to going to the surrounding villages to publicize the "armed anti-tax order", Wu Yong encouraged the villagers of Sanzhuang under the rule of Dulong Town to vigorously raise pigs. For this reason, piglets are also provided free of charge to villagers who are willing to raise pigs.

This is also Chao Chong's instruction. Liangshan needs a lot of meat to replenish the strength of the soldiers, so the pigs raised by these villagers will definitely not be unsold.

Yangsan also had enough money to pay the price of the pigs.

Pigs are omnivores, and in addition to a small amount of grain, a large amount of grass and straw can feed it.

Moreover, as an ancient agricultural country, the ancestors mastered the mature manure technology very early. At least at the end of the Warring States period, it was found that the best farm fertilizer was formed after pig manure and human manure were thoroughly mixed and fermented in the pigsty. As a result, in the Qin and Han dynasties, there was a toilet with a pigsty - "溷". That is, when the toilet is built, the toilet is raised and there is a ladder ramp for people to go up and down, so that the manure can fall into the pigsty under it for the pigs to eat.

Farmers in the Song Dynasty also liked to connect the toilet with the pigsty, toileting, manure, and pig raising, a trinity.

Speaking of pork, it reminds Chao Chong of a rumor circulating on the Internet during the Celestial Empire: The ancients did not eat pork. Because the pig is dirty, and the pig has not been chopped, the taste of the meat is too sassy and not delicious.

I don't know where this rumor came from. The reason why he is said to be a rumor is because it is so wrong.

Pigs are an earlier species domesticated by the ancients, and the ancients domesticated pigs to take care of the family? Or is it a hobby?

To eat, of course.

Some people say that pigs are too dirty, so they don't like to eat them. When Mr. Su Dongpo was the general judge of Huangzhou, he had a poem "Ode to Pork": Huangzhou is good pork, and the price is as cheap as dirt. The noble refuse to eat, the poor do not understand how to cook, get up in the morning and make two bowls, so that they are full of their own kings.

Li Shizhen also believes in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" that pork tastes sour, has a flat nature, has a small poison, and long-term food makes people close their blood vessels, weaken their muscles and bones, and weaken their muscles. Let's use modern medical common sense to analyze that pork has a lot of fat, eats too much blood viscosity, and is easy to get vascular disease; Moreover, most of the people who eat meat are rich and noble, lack exercise, and are naturally weak after a long time.

Many people regard the words of Su Dongpo and Li Shizhen as evidence that the ancients did not eat pork, which is really ridiculous.

What does it mean that "the noble refuse to eat, and the poor do not understand how to cook"? In fact, it is that rich and noble families have money to buy better meat, so they don't like to eat pork very much. Just like the rich people in the Celestial Empire era, they would rather spend tens of thousands of yuan to eat abalone and sea cucumber, but they didn't like to eat loaches. Do you dare to say that no one eats loaches?

Because pigs are generally kept in pigsty and eat human feces, from this point of view, pigs are relatively dirty, and for literati and doctors who claim to be so high, they are naturally reluctant to eat them. But for ordinary people, there is no pressure at all.

"The poor don't know how to cook" is not because the poor don't know how to cook pork, but because the seasoning is expensive, the poor can't make such a good taste and can't make so many tricks.

Just one "Dongpo meat", now called "braised pork", needs seasonings and brown sugar that a poor family can not get.

Therefore, it's not that the Song people don't eat pork, but they can't get on the big stage, and they don't have so many tricks.

Zheng Tu, who was killed by Master Lu, was selling pork, and Shi Xiu also killed pigs for a while in Yang Xiong's father-in-law's house, if no one eats pork, who will buy it?

Some people also say that the taste of the meat of the pig that has not been chopped is too sassy and not delicious. This is even more ridiculous. Wild boar is much more expensive than ordinary pork and tastes better, has wild boar also been chopped?

Li Shizhen has made it very clear in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" that raw pork is "sour", which has been the same since ancient times, if you don't believe it, you can taste raw pork.

The reason why modern times are better than before is because modern seasonings are more abundant and the recipes are more diverse, so the taste is also more delicious.

The craft of plowing pigs has been spread since the Eastern Han Dynasty, in order to make pigs less estrus and more mind to gain weight, which is not necessarily related to taste. Both boars and sows need to be plowed, and in this regard, men and women are equal.

Theoretically, pigs that do not eat a lot of food do not convert into fat, but accumulate energy and vitality for breeding, consume a lot of calories, and naturally cannot get fat.

Pigs are full of sleep, wake up and eat typical livestock, the so-called full warm thoughts**, pigs although livestock, also have needs, not pruning pigs, where boars are slender and long, all sows are graceful, all day long ready to attract the opposite sex and restless, but born at the wrong time, reincarnated pigsty, the social circle is too small, can not get what you want, depressed, the more you eat, the thinner you are, waste food in vain, the owner sees its thinness, and can't bear to kill, it becomes worse, people and pigs are bitter.

If it is plowed, it will be different, the heart will not move in the spring, the chest will not be irritable in the summer, the autumn will be melodious, and the sun will be waiting for the winter.

Of course, boars for breeding and sows for calving are different.

Ploughed pigs in the Eastern Han Dynasty, this magical ancient method, it is said that it is from the Huatuo superb surgery of the true legend. The pig cutter held a pig knife and carried a pair of picks, walked around the countryside, and ate thousands of meals. Zhu Yuanzhang also once wrote an inscription to a pig cutter: Split the road of life and death with both hands, and cut off the root of right and wrong with one knife.

Therefore, after the introduction of Wuyong's policy to encourage pig raising, many villagers responded positively.

Just as Wu Yong was preparing to show his strength and make some achievements, the personnel of the Intelligence Department sent the military information and informed the officers and soldiers of Jeju Prefecture that they were about to arrive in Dulonggang in two days. and presented a handwritten letter from Chao Chong.

Wu Yong first checked the secret note on the envelope, and saw that it had not been moved, so he opened it, and after reading Chao Chong's letter, Wu Yong thought about it for a while, and asked, "Where does Lin Chong know?" ”

The intelligence officer said, "The person who traveled with me has already gone to the confession. ”

Wu Yong nodded and asked the intelligence officer to leave. He also sent people to invite Lin Chong, Yang Zhi, and Liu Tang to come to the meeting.

Soon, Lin Chong, Yang Zhi, Liu Tang, Chao Yang, Dongfang Xiao, Lu Fang, and Guo Sheng laughed and strode into the mansion, and when they saw Wu Yong, they hugged their fists and said, "Military advisor, but do you want to discuss with us about the enemy's strategy?" ”

Wu Yong invited the six of them to sit down and said, "You must already know the specific military situation, the Jeju government appointed Liu Guang as the regimental training envoy and He Tao as the deputy envoy, commanding 3,000 troops, and wants to attack our Dulong Town first." What do you guys think? ”

Lin Chong said with a smile: "That Liu Guang has been a defense envoy for many years, but he has never fought any battles. The use of soldiers is nothing more than an old trick such as suppressing people and encircling Wei to save Zhao, which is not new, although our troops are small, we are not afraid of him. ”

Yang Zhi nodded and said: "He didn't go to the edge of the water to collect ships to attack the main village of Liangshan, on the one hand, he was afraid that I would send troops to rob him of the back road. On the other hand, it was also the weakness of the officers and troops in the water war and the inability to cross the water. I want to use an army of 3,000 to besiege my Dushan Town, and then ambush the reinforcements in my water pool halfway, just like Brother Lin said, it is nothing more than a trick like besieging Wei to save Zhao. The general will definitely see through his plan and let him have no return. ”

Liu Tang also said: "The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth." I killed a Huang An last time, and this time I came to Liu Guang, but he was just in a hurry to die. ”

Wu Yong saw that the army's heart was available, so he handed Chao Chong's handwritten letter to Lin Chong, who was in charge of military affairs.

After Lin Chong took the letter and read it, he laughed and said: "Every move of the enemy is under the monitoring and calculation of the general. ”

After that, he explained Chao Chong's strategy to the generals, and the generals gladly accepted the order.

Wu Yong presided over the affairs of Dulong Town on the mountain, and recruited Zhu Chaoxing and his son, Hu Li, Li Ying and others into the city to discuss the military situation and temporarily grounded.

Lei Heng led the 100 law enforcement divisions to control the security of Sanzhuang.

Pei Xuan publicized Liangshan's victory remarks and stabilized people's hearts.

Hu Cheng, Hu Sanniang, and Du Xing mobilized 300 militiamen to set traps in the military village built in Liangshan at the foot of the mountain.

The fourth infantry, led by Liu Tang, controlled the route up and down the mountain and blocked the entrances and exits. And do a good job of defending the city.

Lin Chong and Yang Zhi led the Leopard Tao Cavalry and Long Xiang Cavalry down the mountain, and took the initiative to harass the Jeju government officials and troops all the way.

Turn your head and look at the officers and troops of Jeju Province.

Liu Guang and his two sons wore general armor, led a high-headed horse, led 3,000 soldiers, and said goodbye to the prefect outside the west gate after three poles of the sun.

Outside the West Gate, a case, a few, a pot of wine.

Jiang Tianyue raised his glass and saluted Liu Guang: "As soon as this trip goes, I wish the general success, exterminate the thieves, and reach the world!" ”

Liu Guang clasped his hands into fists and bowed, then respectfully took it, raised his head and drank, and said: "I will live up to the trust of my lord, please wait for the news of Liu's triumph!" ”

Jiang Tianyue was overjoyed and said, "It's really arrogant, please have another drink!" ”

Liu Guang took it respectfully, raised his head and drank, and said: "Relieve your worries for your lordship, serve the court, and do what you want in your life!" ”

Jiang Tianyue shouted: "Okay! Please drink a third glass. I hope that the general will pay attention to his body all the way, the weather is getting colder and colder, and he will pay attention to thickening his clothes when camping at night. After speaking, he took out a robe from the servant's hand, and continued: "This leather robe was purchased by me at a great expense, and it can protect it from the wind and cold. ”

Liu Guang squeezed his eyes hard, shed a tear, and said: "The adult's affection is deep, Liu will move forward bravely, and he will not return if he does not break the thief's oath!" ”

Jiang Tianyue was reluctant for a while, and the two were reluctant to say goodbye.

He Tao watched their performance from the side, and despised them in his heart, those people in Liangshan were like wolves and tigers, how could they be so easy to defeat? However, he couldn't wait for Liu Guang to lose early, so that he would have a chance to take the position, so he naturally wouldn't remind Liu Guang of anything.

And those ordinary soldiers are indifferent to this kind of farewell, and it has nothing to do with them anyway.

The army finally set off. Liu Guang rode on a horse, proud in his heart, and used "life is proud, and he can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day" to describe his mood.

How many are 3,000 men?

There were four long queues, and the interval between each soldier was calculated according to 1 meter, but the team also pulled out a formation more than 700 meters long.

Together with some ox carts pulling grain and grass, the whole procession is more than 800 meters long.

The longer the walk, some people walked faster, some people walked slowly, and the line became longer and longer, already more than a kilometer.

It's only been ten miles away.

Liu Guang had to run back and forth on horseback, urging the army to maintain speed and keep up with the team.

Suddenly, Liu Guang saw a familiar figure in the army, with a slender figure, wearing a leather armor, wearing a felt hat, walking with his head down. ”

The soldier looked up helplessly, revealing a delicate little face, who is not his baby daughter Liu Huiniang?

Liu Guang sighed, turned over and dismounted, went over to pull him out of the team, went to a secluded place, and blamed: "It's really nonsense, what is in the army, is it child's play?" Don't go back yet! ”

Liu Huiniang pouted and said, "If I tell my father, you will definitely not be happy, so I have to make this decision." I finally came out, and I definitely won't go back. Otherwise, my father will deal with my military law! ”

Liu Guang hurriedly said: "Since ancient times: it is difficult to raise the feminine spirit in the army!" If it is known that you are a woman, and the soldiers are uneasy, where will they have the morale to fight? Be obedient, I'll ask your eldest brother to send you back. ”

Liu Guang suddenly woke up, his daughter was able to blend in with the army, and she also got a leather armor, there must be someone in the army to help him, except for his two sons, who else could there be?

Liu Guang scolded: "These two rebels, they are making trouble for me." Don't they know that on the battlefield there are no eyes for swords and guns, and no eyes for arrows? If you have a bad one, how do you get it? ”

Liu Huiniang tugged on her father's arm and said, "Daddy, don't worry, I'll take care of myself." I have been taught the art of war by my master, but I have never had combat experience, and I can't use my skills, so I am worthy of teaching my teacher? And I heard that Liang Shan Chao Chong is as cunning as a fox and scheming, and his daughter is with him, and he can also consult his father one or two, saving him from falling for that person's tricks! ”

"This ......" Liu Guang hesitated a little, his daughter was smart since she was a child, and later she was taught by Foshan Lao Ni, who was very proficient in Qimen Dunjia and the art of war, and he also jokingly called his daughter a female Zhuge .

If you have a daughter who serves as a military officer for herself, she will definitely be able to solve many problems, but ......

When Liu Guang was hesitating, Liu Qi and Liu Lin saw it from afar, and knew that their sister's matter had been revealed, so they drove over and asked Liu Guang for guilt.

Liu Guang snorted coldly at them, but ignored them.

The two persuaded their father again, and then they moved Liu Guang and asked them to find a horse for Liu Huiniang to ride, and let the soldiers lead them to follow them.

How could his daughter be willing to let her walk again?

He Tao was also surprised when he saw Liu Huiniang, but he just nodded and didn't break it. But I secretly rejoiced in my heart: Liu Guang is an old thief who has killed himself, and since ancient times, women have been ominous in the army, and God will let him lose.

After leaving Jeju City for thirty miles, the officers and soldiers had to stop and end the day's march.

Seeing this, Liu Guang had no choice but to let the soldiers rest in a village and requisition some people's houses for the night. It was only at the entrance of the village that some soldiers were sent to stand guard at night.

The moon is dark and the wind is high and the night kills.

The cavalry led by Lin Chong and Yang Zhi approached the village where the official troops were stationed at night.

The scouts in the army had already heard the situation of the officers and soldiers clearly.

After midnight, they chewed on their horses, and the men bit the sticks, and led the horses from the farmland to prevent the sound of the horses' hooves from being heard by the village, and after two hundred steps close to the village, they turned over and got on their horses, and Lin Chong spit out the sticks in his mouth and shouted: "Get on the horses!" ”

Leopard Tao cavalry and Long Xiang cavalry 200 cavalry, quickly assembled, and boarded the war horse.

Lin Chong took the lead, galloped forward, and shouted, "Charge!" ”

The cavalry behind him also shouted, "Charge! Charge! ”

"Charge! Charge! ”

The distance of two hundred paces was only a few blinks for the cavalry, and for those officials and soldiers in the village, they were only awakened by these sounds, but they didn't realize what was going on at all, Lin Chong had already led the cavalry into the village.

A few vigilant soldiers at the entrance of the village were instantly picked to death by the charging cavalry and thrown aside.

After rushing into the village, Lin Chong and Yang Zhibing divided into two routes, one left and one right, and led the cavalry to shuttle through the village.

Lin Chong's spear is exquisite, and as long as there is an enemy on both sides of the road, he will stab it with one shot.

Chaoyang's guns fly like dragons, and guns take people's lives, and they will not show mercy.

Lu Fang Fangtian drew a halberd, and the basic skills of picking, splitting, and stabbing were displayed, which was simple and effective, and the move was fatal.

Yang Zhi led the dragon to ride in from another, and the long knife flew over, slashing one head at a time.

Dongfang Xiao's tiger tail iron square beam in his hand was strong and heavy, coupled with the speed of the horse, all the officers and soldiers who were touched by him flew directly more than a zhang away, and their bones were broken and their tendons were broken.

Guo Sheng's Fang Tian halberd slashed his head upwards and hooked his limbs downward, and almost no one could defeat him for a round.

The cavalry behind them followed the generals, and they were like tigers entering the flock.

By the time Liu Guang reacted and gathered a heavy army, Lin Chong and other cavalry had already wreaked havoc in the village for half a pillar of incense, killing and wounding more than 80 people.

Seeing that there were more and more officers and soldiers, Lin Chong laughed and greeted, "Retreat!" ”

The two hundred cavalry did not lose a single man, and roared and galloped away. Leaving the village in shambles.

Liu Guang was so angry that he sent troops to chase him, but the night was vast, where could he find it. When he came back, he counted the losses again, and more than 50 people died and more than 30 were seriously injured.

For 3,000 men and horses, more than 80 casualties are not serious, but the blow to morale is indeed serious.

The soldiers in the army were uneasy, and the officers were also disheartened, they knew that Liangshan was strong, but they didn't want to be so strong! Will you be able to win this battle? Don't be like Huang An, just go to death, right?

Compared with the sharp decline in the morale of soldiers and officers in the army, Liu Guang was full of anger. He was annoyed that the defenders on duty at night did not find the enemy in time, he was annoyed that these officers and soldiers were so incompetent that they did not even kill a single enemy, and he was even more annoyed that the Liangshan men and horses were vile and shameless in sneaking up on the night!

It's a hero, dare to go one-on-one? Do you dare to fight in a righteous and bright array? These scumbags!

Liu Huiniang was also awakened, in the face of this situation, she was a fledgling woman, before she had enough information, even if she was full of plans, she was at a loss, and she didn't know how to deal with it, so she had to remind her father to take precautions to prevent the people of Liangshan from stealing the camp again.

Liu Guang first executed the officers in charge of the vigil to shock the morale of the army. Then strengthen perimeter alert. And asked the whole army to sleep in clothes, and will not be disarmed. Respond to enemy sneak attacks at any time.

Although there were many dissatisfaction in the army, they had no choice but to comply under the threat of a possible sneak attack on the Liangshan army and horses at any time.

Sleepless nights.

The people of Liangshan never came, in fact, after Lin Chong led people to sneak attack, he retreated fifteen miles, found a ravine to rest, and had a good night's sleep.
