Chapter 287: Stone City Alliance
Seeing the bear-like appearance of the two eagles, Deng Wenting smiled slightly.
This guy said a little jokingly, "You are also the one in charge of the army, with more than 6,000 Yi soldiers, from Yuewang to Shaping Town, Xide County, it is really farther, fortunately, Deng learned in time that you are the third master's brother-in-law, otherwise-."
Otherwise, the piece of armor will not be left.
Liu Yun hurriedly interrupted Commander Deng's words, and if he continued to say more, he would lose face as a brother, so he arched his hands and said with a smile, "Yicheng has seen Brother Deng, Liu has long heard the name of the first hero in Liangshan, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation."
Deng Wenting's eyes froze, as if he was thoughtful, and then he sobered up again in an instant.
This guy seemed to be happy and smiled, "Wen Ting is vulgar and unliterate, and it is just a little bit of a bandit, but it is really an honor for Deng to reach the ears of the third master, the third master is so generous and tolerant, and it also makes me feel very ashamed."
Commander Liu also laughed, regardless of the birth of each other when they first met.
He took a step forward, grabbed Deng Wenting's hands, was so happy that his eyes were not sewn, and he said in a loud voice, "It is Yicheng's luck to meet Brother Deng today, if you don't dislike it, please follow me and the other three of you to go back to Shicheng to talk about it."
Vultures and Apu are happy now, with a sinister smile on their faces, hum, don't look at Deng Wenting's boundless gang.
As long as they arrived in the stone city, the knife and axe hands swarmed up, and they were afraid that this guy would not be obedient, so the two of them straightened their chests, and they were no longer afraid, but echoed Liu Yun's words with a smile on their faces, and wanted to invite Commander Deng into the urn for a visit.
Liu Yun and Deng Wenting looked at each other and smiled, but they were not afraid of the two little toasters being mischievous, so they walked into Shicheng Town hand in hand.
When he walked to the city tower of the city gate, he set up a small square table, put down four chairs, and sat down to drink tea with Eagle West and Apu, and the original Tusi Yi soldiers on the city tower were replaced by the special forces of western Sichuan when Commander Deng led the troops to attack, so it was a lot more refreshing.
Deng Wenting's nearly 1,000 subordinates camped not far from the stone city.
The direction of the camp is not close or far, just enough to see through the city tower, if the ears are sensitive enough, you can even faintly hear the sound of the city talking, in this way, Commander Deng's personal battalion is also relieved, in case there is any change, it can also respond in time.
Stone City has always been the residence of the Yue Wan Tusi.
Eagle West and Apu have a natural home advantage, and they have a lot more courage to speak and do things, but everyone drinks tea on the castle tower, and there are elite soldiers outside the city, but they don't dare to easily use knives and axes, or give birth to poison and other subordinate ideas.
So far, Commander Liu's vision and bearing have been inadvertently displayed to the fullest.
Ling Yingxi, Apu and Deng Wenting admired someone so much, and their secret evaluation of Commander Liu was even higher, and for a while, everyone gathered happily on the city tower, as if they had been old friends for many years.
Lively is lively, and lively is not the same as releasing the previous suspicion.
Eagle West and Apu are of course ill-intentioned, but Commander Deng is not a good type, this guy has been secretly estimating the defense situation of the stone city since he was invited to enter the city, and Liu Yun invited him to drink tea and watch the scenery on the city tower, and he also happened to explore the reality in the stone city.
As the saying goes, "the layman looks at the liveliness, and the insider looks at the doorway".
If Deng Wenting really wanted to lead his troops to attack the city, the Shicheng City Tower was the focus of the attack, and he could observe it closely, which was actually not bad, but to his surprise, there was not a single Tusi Yi soldier on the city tower, only a dozen or so Sichuan soldiers.
Have the Yi soldiers under the jurisdiction of Tusi been completely lost? No way.
Deng Wenting clearly remembered that in the first battle of Shaping, at least more than 2,000 Yi soldiers ran away, even if they escaped a little more along the way, there were more than 1,000 people when they returned to Shicheng, and Liangshan is different from the mainland, if there is a crisis, these tribes can all be soldiers, according to his estimate, there should be three or four thousand people in Shicheng.
But where are these centaurs?
Is it an empty city plan? Deng Wenting was also a little unsure.
Because the stone city is too quiet, if there is really a shortage of soldiers and horses, and when facing the pressure of the army, it should have been panicked, so while talking to Liu Yun and others, he carefully looked at the more than ten Sichuan soldiers on the city tower.
At this time, Deng Wenting found out that it was abnormal, and they were all tigers.
Although Commander Deng was born in the Sichuan Army, he is also a real native of Daliang Mountain, born at the junction of Mianning and Xide since he was a child, and has learned classical thread-bound books since he was a child.
These tiger soldiers can basically be a hundred, in ancient times, it was said that a hundred enemies or a thousand enemies, and if they met ordinary soldiers, they could also kill three in and three out.
There are more than a dozen tigers? Commander Deng couldn't believe it, and he didn't care about talking.
Hurriedly rubbed his eyes, and then took a closer look, it was really the case, he couldn't help but be shocked, his face was extremely pale, and he didn't say much, just looked at Liu Yun indignantly, which made everyone at a loss.
It was Liu Yun who reacted the fastest, recalling Deng Wenting's previous actions, and then he suddenly realized.
He hurriedly appeased this guy, and said with some half-truths, "Brother Deng is too worried, these are the guards of the younger brother, and because Liu is running around all the year round, the requirements for the guards around him are naturally higher."
Deng Wenting was a little skeptical, even if Liu Yun could justify the matter of Hu Ben, then where were the rest of the thousands of Yi soldiers ambushed, but he could only hold it in his heart, in case Commander Liu didn't mean it, and was reminded by him to capture the thief and capture the king, he would lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot.
Commander Deng is also a person who has seen the world, and he has long planned for the worst for many things.
I saw this guy laughing, and immediately said his original intention of coming to Shicheng, "Brother Yicheng is the third master of our Sichuan army, and there are some tiger benders around him, which is also a matter of course, which makes Wen Ting feel inexplicable for a while, but it makes everyone laugh, Deng Mou came to Shicheng this time, first of all, to visit Liu Sanye."
"Haha, now I know that the little overlord in western Sichuan is worthy of its name."
Liu Yun didn't care, just chuckled, unmoved by the vain name, and motioned to Commander Deng to let him continue.
Deng Wenting was a little disappointed, so he had to explain with a forced smile, "While Deng Mou came to visit the third master, he also wanted to ask the third master to help, because my brother's Qingxiang commander is almost unable to keep it."
Liu Yun's heart moved, and he glanced at the two toasts.
Calculate the time, Yin Changheng, the commissioner of Liangshan, has arrived in Xichang for some time, and now this old man has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and even the two old Tusi of Shicheng have personally led the old department to vote, which is already a gong and drum shock, and the momentum is far better than before, and it is said that Yin Lao intends to let Zhang Xinghua serve as the commander of the Liangshan garrison.
If this news is true, Deng Wenting's Qingxiang commander really won't be able to serve for a few days.
However, Deng Wenting is a hero in Liangshan, and he has worked for the two Chairman Liu for many years.
Liu Yun asked with some surprise, "Brother Deng is an old man in my Sichuan army, and he is still the favorite general of the two Chairman Liu, all these years have been all thanks to Brother Wen Ting, appeasement of the local security of Daliang Mountain, well, even if there is no merit, there is hard work, is there any misunderstanding in this?" ”
Deng Wenting was a little embarrassed, but fortunately, he was straightforward, and there was nothing he couldn't say, so he smiled bitterly and told the truth, "Since Brother Yicheng asked, Wenting just said it bluntly, after Elder Yin arrived in Liangshan, he thought that over the years, he had killed too heavily in appeasement places, so ——."
So what, so I want to investigate this guy.
Liu Yun frowned, stood up and walked a few laps around the city tower, Deng Wenting said that he was a Han person, but he was actually a native of Daliangshan, what really made the people of Liangshan unaccustomed was not killing, but stepping on two boats of Black Yi and White Yi, according to the local people, "faith is not pure, black and white are not distinguished", "is the messenger of the devil".
However, Deng Wenting is a person with real skills.
In another time and space, he did kill too much, not only did he join forces with Hei Yi to suppress Bai Yi, he himself kept more than 800 slaves in captivity, and later this guy was dissatisfied with Hei Yi's betrayal, and almost killed Hei Yi.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese invaders were pressing forward step by step, and the strategic position of the Chengdu-Kunming transportation line became increasingly prominent, and he was appointed by Lao Jiang as the commander of Jingbian, with the rank of lieutenant general.
Deng Wenting may really have a thousand kinds of differences, but in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, especially in the strategic transportation of the Chengdu-Kunming Highway, he made great contributions, and was praised by General Deng Xihou and Mr. Huang Yanpei.
The reason why Liu Yun knows that he is the first hero in Liangshan is precisely because of the praise of these two bigwigs.
Due to the long-term chaos in Liangyi and other places, and the deep grievances between the various tribes, Deng Wenting is a native of Liangyi, he used local practices and rules to deal with the people of Liangshan, can not simply say that he is brutal and easy to kill, the most famous "Yi people to govern Yi" policy, is from this person's handwriting.
Therefore, Liu Yun doesn't think that he is a bad person, on the contrary, he should be a powerful person and a hero of Liangshan.
After all, no one is perfect, and we should promote their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.
Liu Yun decided to help this Liangshan hero, so he asked with a smile, "Brother Deng, although Commissioner Yin is my father-in-law, but I, the person, like to hand over heroes and heroes the most, now that Brother Deng has opened his mouth, this favor is also sincerely helped."
The icing on the cake is common, but the charcoal in the snow is rare.
Liu Sanye's words made Deng Wenting cry for a long time, hammered his chest with his fist, and thanked Commander Liu with tea instead of wine, and Liu Yun and the two toasts also looked solemn, and also picked up the tea and drank with the first hero in Liangshan.
Deng Wenting whistled in the direction of the pro-military camp.
More than ten cavalry roared, respectfully sent some canvas blankets, heavy, seemed to have some weight, Liu Yun through the detection of the brain, and found that in the blankets, there were some gold bars and the like, about more than 100 kilograms.
Commander Liu hurriedly asked these cavalrymen not to send their blankets to the city tower.
He turned around and said to Deng Wenting with some reproach, "Brother Deng, what's the matter, but it doesn't hurt to say it, if you give away some yellow and white things, you will look down on it, although Yicheng loves money, he is not a person who is greedy for money."
Deng Wenting hurriedly knelt down on one knee, swore with his fist to his chest, and explained very sincerely, "Brother Yicheng, you have misunderstood. Deng has the intention of being effective, but this gold is not for the purpose of honoring the commander, but for you to sell some guns and arms with me, and these are the deposits for the purchase of armaments."
Liu Yun hurriedly pulled him up and asked him to order the cavalry to leave with gold for the time being, and then personally poured tea and explained, "It's true that I'm in charge of the Western Sichuan Arsenal, and it's not false that I need gold when buying arms." But you only know one thing, you don't know the other thing, and that's for big trade."
The inside story of the arms transaction in western Sichuan, not only Deng Wenting is interested, but even Eagle West and Apu also want to know.
Liu Sanye did not shy away from it, and said with a slight smile, "It is said that the West Sichuan Arsenal will not accept orders with a quantity of less than 10,000, well, too many can not be accepted, and General Yang Hucheng wants to order 100,000 rifles."
"How much ——, poof? 100,000? ”
Deng Wenting, Eagle Xi and the others were dumbfounded, a mouthful of tea squirted out, and they didn't hear Liu Yun's words clearly at all, maybe they heard it clearly, but they couldn't believe it, so they asked in unison, "Liu Sanye, you have to say a bullet."
In the era of the Republic of China, a standard second-class division had about 12,300 people, but the actual number of rifles was only about 7,000, and Chairman Yang of Xi'an actually wanted to order 100,000 rifles, what did he want to do? I want to expand the army by 200,000 overnight.
It's so unreliable, it's no wonder people don't trust their ears.
