In the whole of Liangshan, it is already difficult to get news from the outside, and very few people can come back when they send people out, and the people who are arranged outside can not return to Liangshan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Just because above the water, there is no longer a single ship to be seen.

Zhu Wu and a team of soldiers were all on the edge of the water, and their minds were racing fast, because Zhu Wu had just been given a task, which was to find the owner of the letter in Gao Yu's arms.

Zheng Zhi also encountered this kind of thing for the first time, and it was really difficult for Zheng Zhi to accept the betrayer. It was too busy a few days ago to put off until now to solve this problem.

Zhu Wu can actually lock this betrayer roughly in a range in his heart, but if he wants to determine who it is, he obviously can't do it.

Zhu Wu kept pacing back and forth on the edge of this water pool, skimming over the faces of people one by one and the objects of suspicion one by one in his mind.

At this time, Zheng Zhi was next to the dock, carrying the strong crossbows one by one onto the ship.

At this time there were many ships of twenty or thirty paces parked at the dock, which looked like half-finished products, with no masts above deck, no cabins, and the whole deck was flat. It doesn't look like a finished ship.

But these semi-finished products, in Zheng Zhi's opinion, have been completed, with oars on both sides and paddle wheels. The two floors of the cabin, plus the top through deck, are already in the form of Zheng Zhiyao. It can load people and materials to the greatest extent. You don't need to be comfortable, you don't even need shelter from the elements.

Under the flat bottom of the boat, it is wrapped with a layer of iron sheet, and the flat-bottomed boat can also get as close to the lake shore as possible.

The day of war is not far off!

In the afternoon, Zheng Zhi returned to the camp, Zhu Wu came to visit, and the two discussed for a long time.

It was almost evening, and the whole camp was beating drums and gathering.

When dozens of generals arrived, Zheng Zhi said: "The ship has been prepared, board the ship early the day after tomorrow and set off. ”

"Yes!" Dozens of generals brushed the order.

"Tonight all the horses will be fed, and the soldiers will be fed. This time Liangshan was destroyed, and everyone on the left and right was rewarded, and they were all promoted. Zheng Zhi's words are not nonsense. Zheng Zhi is about to have 50,000 under his command, and there are naturally more official positions, and there are also many people here, mainly these people here.

When Luda heard this, he immediately laughed, and the seriousness of the previous military order had passed, and he asked at this time: "Brother, when the Sprinkle family kills Song Jiang, I don't know what kind of official my brother will make?" ”

Zheng Zhi also smiled and replied, "How about I find you a Zhonglianglang?" ”

Zhong Lianglang was Zheng Zhi's official title when he was the head of Weizhou's soldiers and horses, and Zheng Zhi at this time had this ability to give to Luda. Even the main generals and brothers around him should have such a treatment.

"Haha... My brother's words count, and the Sprinkle family will also be an official in the future, and this time he will be the true glory of the ancestors. Ruda was naturally very happy when he heard this.

Shi Jin took two steps forward and said with a smile: "Brother Luda, let's hurry up and give birth to a son, I heard that you also have a Khitan concubine, it's good to give birth to a big fat boy quickly, and the branches will flourish in the future, and you will be called a general's queen when you go out." ”

Luda's face turned red when he heard this, and he waved his hand again and again, but he was a little shy, and only said: "Khitan girl, I can't help but toss." ”

Luda's Khitan concubine was naturally given to Zheng Zhi by Muhan in Liaodong, and Luda and Niu Da shared one.

Luda's words, the audience laughed, some people laughed, and some people were naturally envious.

But it was this scene, but it reminded Zheng Zhi that many brothers in the seat have no wives and concubines, and they only follow their own military orders every day, thinking of this, Zheng Zhi felt a little unbearable, he didn't pay attention to this matter before, and now even Li Er has a two-room concubine, even Shi Jin is not the young man at the beginning.

"Brothers, after this battle, I will give you another big task. This task must be completed by everyone, and those who cannot complete it will be carried out by military law. Zheng Zhi suddenly pretended to be serious.

"Brother, after beating Song Jiang, who else are you going to fight?" Ruda was the first to answer, with a look of eagerness. Fighting a war is a serious matter for Ruda, and if he doesn't fight, he will be idle and panicked.

"After this war, everyone will have to marry a concubine, and if it can't be completed, military law will be engaged." Zheng Zhi's words are still serious, this question must not be ridiculed, not only about everyone's life and happiness, but also about the inheritance of these men. It is inevitable that the generals will die in battle, and if they die, they will be a little comforted.

As soon as Zheng Zhi's words came out, everyone laughed, and it was Luda who spoke again: "Brother, the Sprinkle family has no money to marry another wife and concubine." ”

"Why don't you have any money?" Zheng Zhi frowned when he heard this, then he thought of something, and said again: "That's it... After that, I discussed with Lao Pei to make a payment for marrying a wife and having children, but all the brothers in the army who marry wives and concubines and have children can receive money according to their positions. ”

It's not that Ruda has no money, but that every month's food is spent where it shouldn't be. He lived too chicly, his hands and feet were never controlled, and he could spend as much money as he could. You can invite people to drink more than a dozen tables, and you can be more generous, as long as you have your pocket, you will never be stingy, let alone save money. The main reason is that Luda has no shortage of expenses at all, and there is no number of spending.

"Brother, it's so good, if you marry a wife, you will have money, and your brothers will have money to marry a wife and concubine." Ruda nodded again and again when he heard this, and his smile couldn't stop laughing. There is more than one Luda in the army, and most of them are such bold and extravagant men.

Such a man also needs a woman to take care of it, or a woman to take care of the belongings. Only with a woman can you save money, and without a woman, some people will never be able to save their savings.

When the meat and vegetables come up, everyone feasts on it, and there is only half a bowl of wine for one person, and it is also a common practice that the army is not allowed to drink more.

Many soldiers went down to start the army and packed all the materials that needed to be carried. The busiest was the baggage battalion under Zhu Long, transporting logistics to the ship overnight. It doesn't stop until it's almost close to the sub.

As soon as the time passed, Zheng Zhi did not fall asleep, and slowly walked to the general platform with Zhu Wu and his own soldiers. The soldiers on the left and right began to slowly light the brazier torches on the left and right sides of the general.

Then the drums beat loudly, and the trumpets broke the silence of the night, and resounded throughout the camp.

The camp boiled for a moment, and everywhere there was the sound of words and shouts, and the footsteps were accompanied by the great work of armor.

It didn't take long for the black pressure under the stage to stand together, obviously the usual training was extremely skillful, and the emergency assembly was also orderly at this time.

Zheng Zhi glanced left and right a few times, and said, "Click on the school roster!" ”

Many chief officials began to roll out names, and their voices came and went.

Shi Jin stepped forward: "Report to the public, re-cavalry the left wing Jiazi battalion, it should be 537 people, but it is 537 people." ”

Lin Chong stepped forward: "Report to the public, re-cavalry the left wing of the Yichou battalion, it should be five hundred and sixty-three, but it is actually five hundred and sixty-three." ”

。。。。。

Yang Zhi stepped forward: "Report to the public, the iron-clad infantry Ding Mao battalion, it should be five hundred and fifty people, but it is actually five hundred and forty-nine." ”

Zheng Zhi frowned when he heard this, and asked, "Who is missing?" ”

Yang Zhi's face was also ugly, and he hurriedly replied: "Zuo Du is almost the head Cao Zheng alone!" ”

When Zheng Zhi heard this, he seemed to be thinking about something in his heart, and after a while, he said with a hideous face: "Yang Zhi listens to the order, if you arrest this person, you must capture the big tent to see a certain person, and you can't handle the military law to serve!" ”

In Zheng Zhi's heart, there is a chance that this Cao Zheng is this traitor. The motive obviously doesn't need to be thought about, Zheng Zhi didn't think much about it at first, and it was natural and transparent to think about it at this time. The key is that this Cao Zheng is obviously not the first time that he has left the camp without permission, and Yang Zhi, as the chief officer, has not been aware of it at all, which is the crime of dereliction of duty.

Zheng Zhizhi's governance of the army, from later generations to the present, has always been a "strict" word. can give money and food, and even give it to his wife. But it is indispensable to be strict. When I was a soldier in my previous life, it was like this.

When Yang Zhi heard this, he hated it in his heart, and after answering yes, he took the hundreds of parts behind him and left the school field first.

Zhu Wu walked to Zheng Zhi's side and whispered in his ear: "Xianggong, there is a chance that this Cao Zheng has entered the water." ”

Zheng Zhi nodded and didn't speak, just glanced at the more than 7,000 people present, and said, "Tonight we will disband and rest, and tomorrow morning we will listen to the drums and gather troops." ”

Everyone began to bring back the whole team, only Lin Chong did not leave, his face was worried, Cao Zheng was his apprentice after all, he had violated the military law at this time, and he had committed the law before the war, if Zheng Xianggong was angry for a while, he was afraid that it would really be a person's head.

Lin Chong didn't leave, so he naturally wanted to wait for everyone to leave, and stepped forward to say his favor.

Zheng Zhi also stepped down, and Lin Chong hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Xianggong, Cao Zheng was born in the rivers and lakes, and he doesn't know how military law is powerful, so please don't be angry." ”

Zheng Zhi looked at Lin Chong and said, "Brother Lin Chong, you have dispersed the army, and you will start a war tomorrow morning, let the brothers go back to rest first." Then come to me in the big tent. ”

Gathering generals in the evening, Zheng Zhi said that the war would start early the day after tomorrow, which was obviously a lie, and the war would start tomorrow morning. As for that lie, it is naturally for those who have a heart to hear.

Cao Zheng really listened to it, and went out of the camp in the middle of the night like this. Cao Zheng went to Gao Yu to sue Zheng Zhi, which is understandable, after all, Gao Yu is a big tree and can give Cao Zheng a wealth and wealth. Why did Cao Zheng report to Liangshan, Zheng Zhi really couldn't figure it out.

Even when Zhu Wu came up with this strategy, Zheng Zhi also had the idea of giving it a try, but he still felt that it might not have any effect.

Lin Chong turned his head. Zheng Zhi opened his mouth and asked with doubt: "Why do you say that this Cao Zheng wants to report to Liangshan?" What can Liang Shan give him? ”

Zhu Wu didn't think about it, and replied directly: "Cao Zheng just has hatred in his heart, and the prince doesn't want to see him, so he naturally wants to find someone who can treat him and take refuge, and he also has a rich and easy life." Gao Yu died, Liangshan has become a general trend, and the rivers and lakes are famous, why is it not a good place to go? ”

"Hmph... Maybe I also want to lose this battle, get punished by the court, and relieve the anger in his heart. Zheng Zhi also knew at this time that he had directly removed this Cao Zheng from the position of the owner of the Erlong Cottage, and he really didn't take care of Cao Zheng's face.

Zhu Wu nodded and said: "Xianggong is reasonable, this kind of person, after all, is so narrow-minded, the villain takes revenge, from morning to night." ”

"Well, it's not as complicated as I thought, and that's a good thing. I'll go rest first, and you go to the big tent to wait for Lin Chong, and explain it clearly and thoroughly. Zheng Zhi thought in his heart that this mole matter involved a lot, maybe there was a black hand behind it, and someone was scheming. At this time, I knew that it was Cao Zheng, but I felt a lot more relaxed in my heart, and it was not such a deliberate plan. If someone is really scheming, Zheng Zhi is in big trouble again.

Zheng Zhi fell asleep. Someone can't sleep, it's Lin Chong, what Zhu Wu said before and after, Lin Chong was a little dumbfounded, although he had already felt the change in Cao Zheng's attitude when he came to him several times, but Lin Chong would never have thought that Cao Zheng could do such a thing.

It's unpredictable, but that's it! The same is true for mentors and apprentices.

At this time, Cao Zheng also sat in the Liangshan Juyi Hall, and Song Jiang knew Cao Zheng's identity and intention, and his etiquette was extremely thoughtful, and he bowed his hands.

Cao Zhengzhi felt that he had received great respect, and said: "Shandong's timely rain is famous, resounding through the rivers and lakes, and it is really extraordinary to see it today." ”

"Cao Dutou has won the award, today Cao Dutou can do such a righteous thing, it must also be a heroic figure, I Liangshan is the most admired for a heroic character like Cao Dutou, if Cao Dutou can come to my Liangshan to gather righteousness, I am willing to treat it in the third place."

Why the third, just because Hua Rong has already sat in the second place.

Cao Zheng seemed to be extremely moved, Liangshan tens of thousands of horses, how respectful the third position is, more than one of the heads of the capital is 108,000 miles.

But Cao Zheng also had an abacus in his heart, and said with a smile: "Brother Gongming's righteousness, now the dog officials are rampant, and the traitors are in charge, I, Cao Zhengjiang, have been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and I also admire your chivalry. ”

Cao Zheng said it very righteously, but the small abacus in his heart was not simple. It is necessary to wait until Zheng Zhi is really defeated before going to Liangshan, if Liangshan is defeated. Wouldn't staying in Liangshan at this time be a self-defeating one.

Song Jiang squinted and smiled when he heard this, as if he could understand it, but he didn't seem to notice Cao Zheng's heart, so he only said: "Liangshan is waiting for Cao Dutou at any time, if there is no dog official like Zheng Zhi in the world, we can be at ease." ”

Cao Zheng heard this, and echoed: "Zheng Zhi is in Cangzhou, there are many crimes, but no one dares to take care of it, this Great Song Dynasty court is already rotten, it is the time when such a heroic leader as Brother Gongming came, he came in a hurry today, and now he should go back, after this battle, he will meet again." ”

Song Jiang heard the two sentences, and sent this Cao Zheng down the mountain with a smile.

But Cao Zheng didn't think about it, the little sampan had just come ashore and was on the way back to the camp, and was soon caught by countless soldiers. Yang Zhi hurried over, stepped forward and kicked him, and scolded angrily: "Cao Zheng, as the head of the capital, and even more of a disciple of the Lin sect, how can you not know the majesty of military law, and how dare you go out of the camp in the middle of the night at the moment of the war?" ”

Cao Zheng was kicked and rolled on the ground a few times, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly said: "Commander Yang, he is really homesick for his humble duties, so he came out and walked a few steps, and he was guilty of his humble duties!" ”

Yang Zhiwei didn't step forward to fight again, after all, it also had to look at Lin Chong's face, and said angrily: "Cao Zheng, I'm afraid that this time the minister will not be able to spare you, the current violation of military law in the war is indispensable, and it is indispensable to have a lot of suffering, this time you hurry up to see Lin Jiaotou first, and with Lin Jiaotou as a guarantee to intercede, you may be able to suffer less guilt." ”

Yang Zhi loved his brothers, but at this time, he was angry, but he still gave advice to this Cao Zheng.

Cao Zheng nodded again and again when he heard this: "Thank you Commander Yang, hurry up to find the master." ”

Halfway through, a man galloped from a distance, not to mention all the armor, and still held a spear in his hand.

It wasn't until he approached the torch that Yang Zhi recognized the person who came, it was Lin Chong, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Sect Leader Lin, you quickly take Cao Zheng to Xianggong to ask for mercy, the day after tomorrow will start a war, and it will be difficult for me to go into battle if there is one less under my command." ”

Lin Chong's face was not good, he saw Yang Zhi, he just gave his hand, and then dismounted, and went straight to Cao Zheng, the spear directly rotated in the air, and the tail of the gun was picked forward, heading straight for Cao Zheng.

Where could Cao Zheng react, and was picked up by Lin Chong with a gun tail and knocked to the ground.

When Cao Zheng wanted to get up again, the sharp blade was in front of him, and Cao Zheng hurriedly said, "Master, I am guilty." ”

"What sin do you know?" Lin Chong said angrily!

"I really shouldn't have disregarded military law and left the camp in the middle of the night." Facing the angry Lin Chong, where did Cao Zheng dare to have extra words.

"Hmph, where did you go out of camp in the middle of the night?" Lin Chong asked again.

"Master, I'm really homesick, home... Cao Zheng blurted out the same set of words just now.

It was Cao Zheng who had just said that the spear swept over, causing Cao Zheng to spin around on the ground a few times.

"Who do you want to say you miss back home?" Lin Chong didn't know the situation at Cao Zheng's house, and in Kaifeng Mansion, no one could miss Cao Zheng.
