Departing back to Yangsan from the pier of Inju, Seoul (formerly Inju, Goryeo) is much less time-consuming than departing from Jeju Island. It's just that in order to avoid goofs, the "Goryeo" envoys, who obviously took the northern route to Kaifeng, which were much closer, had to "part ways" with Wang Lun.

After all, in the past, the Goryeo envoys sent envoys to the Great Song Dynasty, and they had been taking the southern route, and the Biquge www.biquge.info went to sea from the opening of Beijing Licheng Port, crossed the Yellow Sea all the way, arrived at Mingzhou Port on Liangzhejiang Road, and then set off for Beijing. Because of the close bilateral exchanges, the Song court even set up a state-level guest house in Mingzhou to entertain Goryeo envoys: the Goryeo Embassy.

Just when the envoy's fleet was still floating on the Yellow Sea, Wang Lun's Li Jun fleet had already arrived at the doorstep: Qinghe in the northeast of Beijing.

Wang Lun did not rush back to the mountain, but got off the boat halfway, and went directly to Erlong Mountain, where the position of the big leader was temporarily vacant, to check on the spot, but Ren Yuan and Zhou Zhi were very happy, and asked Wang Lun if the war in Gaoli was completed. It's no wonder that the two of them have a lot of associations, after all, Wang Lun has come back from Goryeo in person, what else can there be a big deal over there?

After sending these two guys who were "not doing their jobs", Wang Lun once again reiterated the importance of Erlongshan as a temporary resettlement base in Liangshan, fortunately, Zhou Zhi was from a logistics background, and although he was not good at fighting, there was no problem in settling the people. Whether it was Deng Fei, who arrived in Seoul in advance, or Ren Yuan, the temporary host of Erlongshan at the moment, they all praised Zhou Zhi like a flower, saying that since Erlongshan had him, he knew what he meant by being in order.

Through this conversation, Wang Lun found that the two of them didn't have any idea about the position of the big leader of the cottage. Zhou Zhi knew that he was still young, and he didn't even have the identity of the leader, so he didn't think about it at all. This is good and understandable, but Ren Yuan is even more weird, and he actually revealed that he didn't want to continue to stay in Erlong Mountain. He complained that he was like a wasted person, he didn't understand how to train soldiers, he couldn't lead soldiers, and he used to rely on Deng Fei to stand up. Now I can only rely on him, and the pressure is too great every day.

Originally, due to the lack of manpower, Wang Lun also hoped to delay for a while, but he knew that the situation had reached this point, and he had to make temporary adjustments at the moment.

Therefore, on the night when Wang Lun arrived at Erlong Mountain, Xu Guanzhong, who received the news, led the relevant leaders to Erlong Mountain, and the Baozhu Temple that night was very lively.

"Leader Wang, Marshal Wang, Wang Duhu, haha! Goryeo played well. Well played wow! I heard that three states and counties are now being beaten? But when a few of us old immortals studied the map you sent back, was the size wrong? How can there be a state capital the size of a state capital, it is about to catch up with the size of two or three state capitals in our Jingdong! ”

Jinban-gun, which was reorganized from Jeolla Province in the southwestern corner of the peninsula, has 20,000 square kilometers, while Gyeongsang-do, in the southeastern corner of the peninsula, has an even larger area of 30,000 square kilometers. Located in the central part of Goryeo, the Hanseong Prefecture adapted from Yangguang Province and the Kaesong area also exceeds 20,000 square kilometers, which can be described as a "big guy".

"The old general doesn't know, there is a lot of land in this Goryeo Mountain. The situation in Seoul and Zhenban counties is slightly better, only that Lintun County, at a glance, mountains are connected to mountains. The plains are like dots, and there is no point in separating them. Besides, for these three state capitals, I have also appointed officials who are not satisfied with the people. If you want to split it again for no reason, who will lend me people? Wang Lun is a person who respects the old and loves the young, in front of these veterans he specially invited. The posture is very low, and from time to time he takes the initiative to toast.

"Scolding the next door, these bookbags are still in demand!" Li Congji didn't know if he had drunk too much, or if he had suffered the loss of civil officials in the past, so he scolded Wang Lun's words. The leaders around were all embarrassed, and at this time they only heard Xu Jing say: "Old immortal, you can't stop your mouth when you drink!" ”

Wang Huan also waited for a glance, and secretly said that this group of old friends did not know how to hide their words, and scolded the scholar in front of Wang Lun, and he really had no sense of proportion.

Seeing that the atmosphere at the banquet was awkward at this time, Wang Huan took the initiative to pick up the wine glass and saluted Wang Lun: "Don't look at us people who used to have a bright appearance, but in fact, they can't help the leader of the king much. It is said that the interlacing is like a mountain, and the set of civil officials is really not good at our old brothers, but the old man heard that the untaken land of Goryeo will also be set up as two state capitals in the future, and the number of the four counties of the Han Dynasty will be made up, and it will be with the newly raised Jurchens. ”

Wang Huan toasted, absolutely rare, Wang Lun didn't say a word, tilted his head, drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, then opened a wine burp, and said: "I'm not asking you for an official, I'll make a regimental training envoy for you, and I'll be stationed next to those barbarians, if he wants to beat you, Lao Tzu will cut him!" Lao Tzu was famous for hanging and beating dogs back then! ”

To say that this group of old festival envoys is most afraid of showing up in the Great Song Dynasty, but when they change to Goryeo, they don't have this concern. At the beginning, Wang Lun agreed to this almost "scoundrel" request, which moved them for a while. Since then, in addition to talking about the martial arts hall, these veterans are basically the most idle group in Liangshanbo.

It's been a long time, seeing the supply of delicious food and drink for the younger generations, and they are working the front line, everyone feels extremely awkward about this "parasitic" life, just today Wang Lun just returned from the line of fire, and invited their veterans to Erlong Cottage to get together, so everyone showed their attitude one by one at the wine feast: if you are idle, you will have no face.

"If Xiao Ke can invite all the seniors to come out, it will be a great honor, not to mention, but also to solve my urgent need! To tell you the old generals, the rest of Goryeo is divided into two counties at most. In addition, the martial arts hall also needs a few veterans to sit in charge, so if there is a place where you are not careful, you don't blame me for being biased! ”

Wang Lun took the initiative to toast all the veterans present with a glass of wine, he hadn't touched this thing for several months, and at this time he was a little drunk by everyone, and he was a little drunk.

However, Wang Lun still knows very well in his heart that if he is on the line with the Jurchens in the future, new leaders like Niu Geng and Leng Ning will be relatively asymmetrical lightweight players, even if a copycat old man like Deng Fei goes into battle, the weight is slightly insufficient. After all, the current Jurchens are in a stage of rapid ascent, and the two border counties really need an old general like Shijiedu who has fought all his life to defend them.

"We don't care about any gains and losses, you see, among the seven old guys, two are regimental training envoys, and five are regimental training deputy envoys, even if there are only two states and counties, that's enough. Ha ha! The most important thing is that everyone wants to see what this group of savages is like, and they can actually beat the Khitans to the point of losing all their fortunes" opened his hand and waved it vigorously, as if he was trying to grasp something.

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this veteran's drunken words, and Wang Lun couldn't help but laugh, and said: "I can't be this wicked person, you were all dignified envoys of the two towns in the past, if I force you to become a deputy envoy for group training, who else will be willing to vote for me in the future of the officers of the imperial court?" ”

Except for opening up and not smiling. Even Wang Huan couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, only to hear Wang Lun continue at this time: "Then let's get back to business, since a few old generals will not give up, I am willing to help me Liangshanbo open up the situation, and I, Wang Lun, will not say anything else, so please ask Wang Huan and Zhang Kai, the two old generals, to prepare at home to take up the post of envoy of Lelang Festival and Xuanwu Festival, just wait for Xiao Jiasui and Zhu Wu to recover the entire territory of Goryeo and take office immediately!" ”

Or is it a knot!?

As soon as Wang Lun said this, the seven veterans present were taken aback. It was also a great surprise, Wang Huan and Zhang Kai were stunned, and suddenly the wine on their bodies woke up, and they all said: "No, no!" We are all halfway monks. How can they stand in front of the brothers who have followed the king's leader for many years? ”

Wang Lun shook his head and said, "I still say the same thing, you are the envoys of the two towns in the imperial court, and you can't go to my Liangshan in the end." Let the heroes of the world laugh at me, Liangshan can't tolerate great talents. But then again, in fact, the Jiedu envoy is also the leader of my cottage, and the Yulu (seized share) is not necessarily higher! The two veteran generals fought for half their lives. There are countless meritorious contributions, but at this time, the court does not recognize your previous achievements, and my Wang Lun recognizes it for the court! ”

Wang Lun's last sentence made the eyes of the two veterans immediately turn red, and they couldn't help but wipe the corners of their eyes with their hands, only to see Wang Huan say: "In this case, the last general is ashamed!" It's just that I, Wang Huan, are here to say that this festival envoy is the marshal to give us old guys face, but we don't dare to say how capable we are, we will focus on defending a city, and we can't help too much with other friendly forces! ”

Wang Huan's words sounded strange, but Wang Lun completely understood what he meant, and he obviously indicated that he would not use the title of Jiedu envoy to rely on the old and sell the old and disrupt the cottage command system. After all, even veterans like Lin Chong are only in control, and the two of them want to live an official addiction, and Liangshan is absolutely chaotic. So he said that the affairs of friendly forces could not be helped, but in fact he confessed himself: never interfere indiscriminately.

The other six veterans obviously understood the meaning of Wang Huan's words, and everyone felt the same way, since they had the courage to return this hat to Jiedu, so that everyone would not have any regrets in this life, and while they were grateful, they could not harm other people's affairs.

What's more, this hat was given by someone, and if it didn't make a good deal in the end and you lost it, it would be completely intolerable.

Although these veterans are rough people, they are also characters who have experienced the sea for decades, and they have all experienced Wang Lun's sincerity, although they want to dissect one or two with Wang Huan in general, but the key is that only two people are back in this position at present, and the others are not easy to speak, but they see that at this time they opened up and said: "I know the military system of your cottage, Lin Chong They are the field team, we are the local defenders, and the local defenders cannot interfere with the actions of the field team, I understand this stubble, and I support it!" But you'll have to give me some of my people! ”

Seeing this, Wang Lun couldn't help laughing and said, "What people, how many people?" ”

"How many people do we manage as a festival envoy?" Zhang Kai asked rhetorically.

"Just because these two counties will be on the border of the Jin Kingdom in the future, the number of people cannot be less, so according to the establishment of you in the Song Dynasty in the past, 10,000 soldiers!" Wang Lun replied.

"Where do people come from?" Zhang Kai asked again.

"You have always been on Liangshan, you should know that now the cottage reserve army is empty, and even the strong men who went to Seoul are temporarily recruited! Therefore, this source of soldiers, tomorrow we will erect a recruitment flag among the people temporarily resettled in Erlongshan, and with the influence of my Liangshan, I am not afraid of insufficient manpower! It's just that this training thing has to be tired of the two festivals to make it a lot of trouble! Wang Lun shrugged his shoulders, and finally added: "In addition, I will allocate 10,000 soldiers to each of the two counties, how about it?" ”

"In this way, I want forty officers who can serve as commanders, one hundred middle and lower-level officers, and at least five hundred veterans......" Zhang Kai seriously calculated on the wine table in front of everyone, everyone was made to cry and laugh by his serious appearance, opened his eyes, and said: "I'm going to fight, and I'm going to die!" ”

Wang Huan is older than Zhang Kai in the end, knowing that their old troops have been absorbed by various field armies, and it is difficult to release people, so he said at the moment: "People are not as good as the old, clothes are not as good as new, sometimes the old people are used to it, and they are often inseparable." We two old bones, there is no problem in training the troops, but we still have to rely on the commanders below to lead the troops, and ask the marshal to allocate fifty middle-level officers, and the other aspects will find their own way! ”

Wang Huan is Wang Huan, after taking over this festival envoy from Wang Lun, the titles are all in accordance with the rules of the army, and they are no longer as casual as before.

"Yes, just do what General Wang wants! If you still have any subordinates you remember, you can give me a list, and I will try to allocate people according to the list. In addition, I want to tell the two of you that now the two armies are in a state of war, if the person to be transferred is the deputy, it is good to say, if you are in charge now, it is unlikely to be replaced, so in terms of time, the two of them must be mentally prepared! Wang Lun knew that these two people were people who knew the soldiers, and he knew how annoying the front-line officers were to pull people in the line of fire, so he gave the two of them a preventive shot for the situation that would occur in the future.

Sure enough, both of them expressed their understanding, but Zhang Kai still complained a little about Wang Huan, and finally Wang Huan said "People should be content", and Zhang Kai stopped squeaking.

Wang Lun finally said to the five veterans who watched the whole process without saying a word: "If there is another critical place in the future, I still hope that the five veteran generals, don't watch from the wall!" ”

Wang Lun's words made the atmosphere better, to be honest, everyone couldn't be idle at this time, but there were only two places, Wang Huan was the head of the ten knots, with outstanding prestige, naturally no one was fighting with him at this time, the key was opened here, and several people began to stare at him, who knew that this guy was still proud, and it made several people have the urge to maliciously pour him a meal.

"The place where the two old generals train their troops is set in this Erlong Mountain! You don't need to go out of the village here, you can train the soldiers, and even better is that there are mostly mountains and forests here, which is similar to the topography of the border area of Goryeo, just practice to use! Wang Lun said with a smile.

"So, the two of us will stay here!" He opened his chest and patted his chest.

Seeing this, Wang Lun threw out the next batch of appointments at the wine table, "Optimus Prime Ren Yuan was transferred from Erlong Mountain and assigned to the prodigal son Yan Qing, and he will be transferred to the Andong Protectorate on a certain day." Wang Dingliu, the head of the cottage water transportation and fishery, was transferred to the big boss of Erlongshan! ”

Ren Yuan was fine, but Wang Dingliu's head "buzzed", and he looked at Wang Lun incredulously: I am the leader of Erlong Mountain? My brother doesn't look drunk! (To be continued......)
