Chapter 0104: Food Crisis
This time, it was the two armies of Liangshan that went down the mountain to Dulonggang Tuntian, and the two armies had to have a commander-in-chief -- this commander-in-chief, Zhu Biao, gave him a name that suited the times: control. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Who is this ruler? This is a very important question. After Zhu Biao weighed it again and again, the candidate for the control was decided. He appointed Lu Junyi as the commander. The reason why Zhu Biao appointed Lu Junyi as the commander was for a purpose.
First of all, appease Lu Junyi. In terms of ability, Lu Junyi does have some ability. Since he was fooled up the mountain by Song Jiang and Wu Yong, this ass has to be wiped by Zhu Biao. Zhu Biao can't go up the mountain and be lukewarm to others, so how can he recruit heroes from all over the world in the future?
Secondly, Zhu Biao also intended to arrange for Lu Junyi to sit in the second position. Song Jiang is a bastard again, he arranged for Lu Junyi to sit in the second position, which is definitely a good move.
Another point, Zhu Biao arranged for Lu Junyi to be the commander, that is, in order to appease the emotions of the leaders left by Song Jiang. Lu Junyi was fooled by Song Jiang and Wu Yong, and he is an outsider, whether Lu Junyi is a surrender faction or not, but in the eyes of many people, he is a surrender faction, and reusing him can appease the restless hearts of a group of people.
Of course, Zhu Biao is not a fool, he will not let Lu Junyi do whatever he wants on Dulonggang, so Zhu Biao also matched Lu Junyi with two good helpers, the marching Sima is the iron-faced Pei Xuan, and the marching service is his eldest brother - Hu Cheng.
Needless to say, from this configuration, it is necessary to use Lu Junyi, and at the same time guard against Lu Junyi.
After Lu Junyi, Pei Xuan and Hu Cheng led the men and the people down the mountain, Zhu Biao summoned the two big butlers of the Liangshan Army together, and after eating a few bowls of wine, Zhu Biao asked Li Yingdao: "Li Daguan, how is the sale of salt making and selling these days?" ”
Li Yingdao: "I wish my nephew ......"
Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, and asked coldly: "Li Daguan, what are you talking about?" ”
"Uh...... It's the owner of the village," Li Ying suddenly found that the Zhu Biao in front of him was no longer the Zhu Biao of Zhujiazhuang in the past, and he hurriedly changed his words: "The owner of the village, just because in the recent period, there have been many fights in the SD area, the people have been displaced, and the roads are not passable, so the income from the sale of salt is not much. ”
Zhu Biao asked Chai Jin again: "Chai Daguan, how much family do I have in Liangshan now?" How long will it last? ”
Chai Jin said with a sad face: "Back to the village master, although my Liangshan is strong and strong, I am afraid that the grain and grass in the warehouse can only last for eight months." ”
Zhu Biao was taken aback when he heard this: "What? Can only last for eight months? How so? ”
Chai Jin said helplessly: "Since the return of King Chao Tian, the village has mainly hit Zengtou City, hit the Daimyo Mansion, consumed a lot, and recruited troops and horses, but the supplement of grain and grass is beyond his means. ”
Zhu Biao asked: "If all the land in Dulonggang is reclaimed, can it solve the urgent need?" ”
Chai Jin asked, "How much land is there in Dulonggang?" ”
Zhu Biao thought for a while and said: "Good land has at least seven or eight hundred acres of land, and the miscellaneous ones add up, how can you say that there are always thirteen or four hundred acres, only a little more." ”
Chai Jin counted with his fingers for a long time, shook his head, pursed his lips and said, "A drop in the bucket." ”
At this moment, Zhu Biao was shocked, he felt that the situation in Liangshan was not as prosperous as stated in the original book, and it was very good. Zhu Biao asked them: "What can the two big officials do to solve the problem of food?" ”
Chai Jin and Li Ying glanced at each other, and Chai Jin said: "If you want to solve the urgent need, the fastest way is to break a few more cities and move the treasury of the imperial court to my Liangshan, but this is only a symptom but not a cure." But if the owner of the village can occupy a few cities, and the wealth and taxes are owned by Liangshan, it is a long-term solution. ”
Chai Jin said this, Zhu Biao finally understood, why Song Jiang in the original book wanted to fight Dongping Mansion, and wanted to fight Dongchang Mansion, the simplest reason is to solve the problem of grain and grass.
It seems that this owner of the village is not as good as Zhu Biao imagined.
Zhu Biao said to Li Ying: "Daguan, you now have 500 people in your hands, who are salt makers and salt sellers, you don't want to focus on SD, you can go to Hedong and Hexi HB to sell salt, as well as Jiangnan, our Liangshan waterway leads to the canal, you can also sell salt to Jiangnan." ”
Li Ying asked: "Since the owner of the village said that he could go to Jiangnan to sell salt along the waterway, can the owner of the village send the brothers of the water army to help sell salt?" ”
Zhu Biao looked at Li Ying and asked coldly, "What do the big officials want to do?" ”
Zhu Biao's eyes made Li Ying's heart furious, and replied, "I...... I don't want to do anything. ”
"I can tell you!" Zhu Biao said solemnly: "My Liangshan's military horses will never participate in any trading. As long as the military horses are involved in the trade, such military horses will be corrupted sooner or later, and corrupt military horses cannot kill any enemy. ”
After Chai Jin and Li Ying left, Zhu Biao fell into deep thought. Today's Liangshan looks like a strong soldier, but in fact, it is full of crises. What to do! The military horses of Liangshan did not have the ability to occupy the city, and it was impossible to develop and grow without the city. So where is the way out for the Liangshan army? Zhao'an? No, I can't recruit An, Zhao'an has no future, and I won't end well if I recruit An. So what exactly do I do?
Just as Zhu Biao was thinking about where Liangshan's way out was, Guan Sheng led the military horse back, as described in the original book, not only Guan Sheng returned, but also brought back two generals, Shan Tinggui, the holy water general, and Wei Dingguo, the Shenhuo general.
Guan Sheng had just returned to the division victoriously, and Zhu Biao decided to send troops to Dongping Mansion immediately.
The next day, Zhu Biao personally ordered the generals, in addition to leaving the navy to guard Liangshan, even the two armies that had just been transferred down the mountain were all transferred and killed together in Dongping Mansion.
The main reason why Zhu Biao's first target was set at Dongping Mansion was that Dongping Mansion was the closest to Deliang Mountain, and it also had the most money, grain and grass. And the military generals stationed in Dongping Mansion are Zhu Biao's sworn brother and double-gun general Dong Ping.
Zhu Biao set up camp forty miles outside Dongping Mansion, and Yu Baosi, the god of danger, and Wang Dingliu, the living goddess, said to Zhu Biao: "The owner of the village, the two of us have a friendship with Dong Ping, and we are willing to enter the city first to persuade Dong Ping to surrender." ”
Zhu Biao smiled and said: "Two brothers, don't hide it, I and this Dong Ping are actually sworn brothers." Dong Ping's temper is the most familiar to me, and he will never surrender. ”
"Ahh Yu Baosi and Wang Dingliu glanced at each other in surprise. Since the owner of the village and Dong Ping are sworn brothers, he said that Dong Ping will not surrender, so it is not good for them to say anything.
At this time, Zhu Biao suddenly remembered Li Ruilan, so he summoned Shi Jin, the nine-patterned dragon, into the Zhongjun tent and asked, "Brother Shi Jin, do you have any acquaintances in Dongping Mansion?" ”
Shi Jin thought for a while and said: "Village master, my younger brother has been to Dongping Mansion once, but there is no one I know in Dongping Mansion. ”
"Oh." Zhu Biao was relieved now: "Okay, okay, brother, go down and rest first, then I can attack Dongping Mansion without any scruples." ”
Shi Jin listened to Zhu Biao's words and didn't know why, scratched his head and walked out of the Chinese military tent.
