Gao Pet is chatting with Lu Cunxiao, the two are friends now, just like Gao Pet said, the master is lonely, and the two of them had a lot of classmates and friends at school at the beginning.

But when they become more and more excellent and outstanding, there are fewer and fewer friends, and after the two study with Zhang San, everyone can only look up to the two and only a few people around them can communicate.

With Zhang San's two years of age, the students around them have changed batch after batch, they have changed from the initial students to seniors, and finally to the current instructors, and there are even fewer friends of the same age.

Lu Cunxiao may have a somewhat withdrawn personality because of his early experience, but Gao Pet is a more cheerful personality, especially when he is with Qingqiu's sister, he never stops chattering.

The three of them also complement each other's personalities, and they slowly played together, and when Chao Gai sent the greeting post to the two of them to see, Gao Zhong said: "Sure enough, it's a man." ”

At this time, the order from the rear also came, first stationed on the spot to block the other party's way, the two looked at each other, and simply took the post back to the city, saw Zhang San, presented the post, Zhang San glanced at it and frowned.

This Chao Gai is still relatively courageous, to be honest, Song Jiang can be so squandered in the later period of the original book, that is also the foundation that Chao Gai gave him, fighting righteousness and squandering wealth, being generous and righteous, such a person naturally has a leadership temperament, if Zhang San sees him, it is really not to stay or not to stay.

Leaving such an appealing person, then Liangshan will be difficult to control, if you don't stay, it's a pity that such a talent is not used, and finally Zhang San looked at Zhu Wu and said: "That's it, I won't come forward, you meet him, see what he says and decide what to do next." ”

Zhu Wu clenched his fists in response, and Zhang San then asked, "Who do you think is suitable to be the leader of this Liangshan?" ”

Zhang San has also been struggling with this problem recently, if he doesn't want to absorb the heroes on the rivers and lakes, he can send anyone at will, but if he wants to retain this function of Liangshan, he needs a person who has both appeal and is easy to manage, and Zhang Sanyi really can't think of such a candidate.

Zhu Wu knew the plan of the whole Shandong, so Zhang San wanted to hear his opinion, Zhu Wu thought about it for a while before saying: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is not appropriate for us to attract the attention of the imperial court to Shandong excessively, so the scale of Liangshan needs to be controlled. ”

Zhang San nodded, shook his head again and said: "According to the plan of the General Staff, the suppression of Liangshan will be used as an important excuse for our Ryukyu troops, and I hope that the Liangshan War will further consume the troops and money of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Zhu Wu was shocked again after hearing this, and finally his mind was flying, and finally said: "The minister thinks that Chao Gai is the most suitable candidate. ”

Zhang San asked curiously, "Oh? You talk about it. ”

Zhu Wu said: "According to the intelligence, Chao Gai is a generous and heroic person, righteous and squandering money, and loves to make friends with heroes in the rivers and lakes, so he is very famous in the rivers and lakes, and he does not have any great ambitions in what he did after watching Chao cover Liangshan. ”

Zhu Wu saw that Zhang San was listening seriously, looked at Zhang San and continued: "I have a staff officer system in Ryukyu, non-commissioned officer rotation training, and the division of civil and military affairs. Moreover....... ”

Zhang Sanzheng heard that Zhu Wu stopped and asked, "What's more?" ”

Zhu Wu looked around and saw that there was no one else and continued: "Besides, according to the plan, after three or four years, Shandong will be owned by His Majesty, even if Chao Gai has the heart, he doesn't have enough time, as long as he does it like this, it will naturally be foolproof." ”

Zhu Wu made a head-killing move, Zhang San was stunned when he heard this, waved his hand and said: "There is no need to do this, my Ryukyu can still accommodate people, and there will be places where he can support his old age." ”

Zhu Wu stopped talking, Zhang San thought for a while and said: "I have also considered what you said, Chao Gai is indeed a good candidate, so let's do it, when you see him immediately, first probe his tone, we will see." ”

Zhu Wu nodded and replied with a letter, inviting Chao Gai to the Zhu family's mansion as a guest, and the letter arrived in Chao Gai's hand, Chao Gai didn't even consider crossing the horse to leave the camp, and stopped Liu Tang and others who asked to follow.

Chao Gai came to the city, Zhu Wu stood at the city gate and opened the city gate to greet him, Chao Gai came alone, Zhu Wu naturally could not weaken the momentum of the Ryukyus, and he was also standing alone at the city gate to greet Chao Gai.

Chao Gai dismounted, hugged his fists at Zhu Wu and said, "Chao Gai, the master of Liangshanzhai, has seen General Zhu Wu. ”

Zhu Wu's name was still known by Chao Gai through the other party's reply, compared to Song Jiang and Wu Yong, who didn't know who they were fighting with, Chao Gai at least knew the name of the enemy's general.

Strictly speaking, Zhu Wu is only a colonel now, and he cannot be called a general in Ryukyu, but the general here is only an honorific title for the person who leads the troops, and outsiders don't know much about the rank of Ryukyu, and Zhu Wu will not deliberately correct it.

The two walked to the city, Chao Gai watched the layout of Zhujiazhuang, although Zhujiazhuang is not big, but the city gate and city walls are carefully designed, although it is not majestic, but everywhere is full of murderous intentions, so that the observation Chao Gai feels that Song Jiang lost this battle unjustly.

When he came to the mansion to sit down, Chao Gai first spoke: "Please forgive me for being rude, I don't know how Wu Yong and Song Jiang and other leaders of our department are doing yesterday?" ”

Zhu Wu looked at Chao Gai and said: "In the siege of Guizhai yesterday, a total of five people including Song Jiang, Zhu Long, Zhu Hu, Zhu Biao, and Song Qing were killed, and more than 1,200 soldiers were killed or wounded, and the rest were detained in prison. ”

When Chao Gai heard this, the corners of his eyes were red, and five died at once, these five were all good brothers in the past, and after cleaning up his mood, Chao Gaiqiang smiled and said: "This attack on Dulonggang in your country is really to wish the brothers of the family a desire for revenge, and act recklessly, and also ask General Zhu Wu to read our old love and let the remaining brothers live." ”

Zhu Wu thought for a while and said: "In this dispute, I have a total of 46 soldiers killed in the Ryukyus, 127 soldiers who are injured and need to be retired, more than 8,500 rounds of fire oil bombs consumed, more than 87,000 bows and arrows, countless grain and grass materials, and nearly 10,000 commercial losses.

When Chao Gai heard this, he hurriedly asked, "How much?" ”

Zhu Wu said: "I train a soldier in the Ryukyus from the recruitment training to the completion of the training, equip the weapons and equipment, and send it to the battlefield It takes more than 200 yuan to spend more than 200 yuan, and the soldier's death pension is paid for ten years at a time, which is one hundred and twenty months' salary before death, and the salary of the last month before life is paid every month for twenty years. ”

Chao Gai listened in a daze and asked, "Then how much is your soldier's monthly salary?" ”

Zhu Wu replied very simply: "Ten times, the injured will also be paid eighty percent and their wages will be paid until death." ”

Chao Gai asked, "I want to know how many in total?" ”

Zhu Wu said: "A deceased needs to be compensated 3,800 guan, and the wounded need 6,300 guan, so this time the soldier's casualty compensation will be about 980,000 guan, and my Ryukyu special fire oil bombs are never exported, but the reference export type fire oil bombs are priced at 800,000 guan for 100 guan, and the commercial losses of bows, arrows, grain and grass are recorded as 100,000 guan, so you need to compensate our side for a total of 1.8 million guan in this war." ”
