Chapter 476: Betrayal, Is It Comfortable?
Three days passed quickly, and except for a few individual clashes with the Liangshan army when the coalition forces withdrew on the first day (the coalition forces were killed and two wounded, and the Liangshan army lost one military horse), the next two days were uneventful.
This time, because of the pot served Zengtou City, which made the local people feel personal pain, the recruitment of the people went extremely smoothly. In the end, in this small Lingzhou, there were more than 5,000 households with a total of more than 30,000 people who left their hometowns with the old and the weak, and they were willing to tie their lives to the chariot of Liangshanbo. For a time, it was called that the tenants in Lingzhou were as expensive as gold, but they had no price.
Many local big families regretted selling their cattle to Liang Shanbo because they were greedy for the price difference, and now the helpers are gone, the cattle are gone, who will cultivate the good fields? Fortunately, many people have set their sights on several nearby state capitals, hoping that they can alleviate the looming manpower crisis.
However, these things are not what Wang Lun has to consider, and the things that make him feel happy and urgent now all come from the same thing, that is, the progress of recruiting people after breaking through the two states in a row is very gratifying, but their safe place has not yet been settled with the stick.
In fact, Jeju Island can squeeze out a population of 120,000 people around this time, but the quality of life will inevitably be affected. What's more, when I recruited people, I explained that a family distributed a hundred acres of land, and now I coax the whole family to board the boat and drift across the ocean, but I will discount it, which is too unusual! Speaking of a thousand ways and ten thousand, it is still the pace of Liangshanbo's expansion of territory, which needs to be accelerated urgently.
But then again, Liang Shan's battle against the stick must be a big scene, because if he doesn't give him a little ruthlessness this time, and if he is not completely afraid, he will inevitably drag Liang Shanbo into a tug-of-war in the future, which is the scene that Wang Lun is most unwilling to see, so he must accumulate strength and strive to give him a thunderous blow, so that he can not breathe for three or two years.
That's it. The prerequisites are much stricter, for example, Liangshan Benzhai must be in a temporarily calm environment, at least three to five months from the threat of the imperial court's conquest army. In addition, there is another one, that is, the battle of sticks, which is a cross-sea operation, and the soldiers and horses and materials need to be transported by ships, which is also a severe test for the number of ships in Liangshan.
These objective facts are all difficult problems facing Wang Lun at present. It can also be said to be the "main contradiction" of Liangshanbo at present. If there is a major contradiction, there must be a secondary contradiction, for example, Wang Qing has to go to Liangshan to recuperate. What is his real idea? For example, after Wu Yong returned to Erlong Mountain, could he completely implement his will? Deng Yuanjue's injuries have to be in bed for at least 100 days, what kind of appearance should Liang Shan appear in front of Jiangnan Mingjiao to maximize the benefits? And the three captives captured this time, how should they be dealt with in the end? And so on and so forth, and so on.
Although he was riddled with trivial matters, Wang Lun could be regarded as open, after all, it was so difficult when he first crossed over, didn't he survive it? What's more, there are more complex problems waiting for you in the future, so what are these things in front of you?
Eat the rice one bite at a time. Things have to be done one by one, but there is no urgency.
"Brother! After receiving the news from the infantry army in front, they had entered the territory of Qingzhou, and there were supply points for the army set up by Erlong Mountain all the way. Several leaders came to ask my brother what he meant! ”
The old rule is that after Wang Lun broke off with the horse team, including Wang Qing and Li Zhu, they all followed the four battalions of Bujun Luan, Yuan, Bian, and Sun to escort the people first, and at this time Han Shizhong received the scout news. Pegasus came back to report to Wang Lun.
If it is Lu Zhishen and other veteran foot camps, when they encounter such a thing, they will naturally have their own opinions. At the moment, these three and a half battalions of infantry troops. Except for the half-new and not old battalion under Yuan Lang, the others are all newly built war camps, and it is inevitable that they will be a little rusty, so it is better to be cautious. Wang Lun commanded:
"Chao Tianwang is an old friend, but the people under him are inevitably mixed, and they are almost hot, so everyone is served a snack! You tell the scouts to bring seven words to them, and you must not have the intention of harming others! They'll understand when they hear it! ”
Han Shizhong wanted to go when he heard this, but was stopped by Wang Lun and ordered: "Take the arrows, order the scouts to order the infantry army, and ask Leader Yuan to send a horse team to relieve Yu Baosi to us!" “
Jiao Tingjian said that he asked Zhang San to take an arrow and hand it to Han Shizhong, who took the arrow and left. Zhang San said a lot, and immediately stepped forward and asked, "What did my brother do with this person?" But to surrender to him? I don't know who this guy is, and if it's a scourge, it's useless! ”
Wang Lun smiled and didn't answer him directly, but just said, "Zhang San, how about I make you hold the flag full-time!" ”
Zhang San stuck out his tongue and said, "The villain wants to, but I'm afraid that it's not that piece of material, I'm afraid that I will miss my brother's business at a critical moment!" ”
Li Si came over at this time and said, "Brother, don't you want to ask this Yu Baosi to raise the flag for the army?" My brother's good eyesight does not disgrace this person's good body! ”
"To be born strong and useful, the key is to see how good this person's heart is! If the battle hadn't started yet, this guy would have fled with the command flag, and the army would not have dispersed? Zhang San glared at Li Si and blamed him for slapping his ass.
"As far as you think too much, my brother doesn't know? From you and I going up the mountain, which person did you say my brother had seen wrong? Li Si defended unconvinced.
Li Si's words made Zhang San speechless, at this time he was a little nostalgic for Yu Tailai on Mulan Mountain, although this benevolent brother looked babbling, he was definitely a good listener, where was he as tricky as Li Si? It's a pity that I've already returned to Jinghu at this time, and I don't know when I'll see you again next time.
Jiao Ting squinted and listened to the two of them arguing, as a pastime during the boring march, Wang Lun seemed to be smiling, and he didn't say anything along the way. The army marched for a long time, Wang Lun saw that it was late, and ordered the army to set up camp, at this time Yuan Lang's horse team commander personally escorted the dangerous god Yu Baosi to the guard camp, Wang Lun told him to rest for a night and then go back, and the commander went with Lu Fang happily.
"You are from Qingzhou, Shandong, obviously Erlong Mountain is close at hand, you don't get along, how can you go to the Zeng family?" Wang Lun looked at Yu Baosi and asked.
Yu Baosi has been betrayed by Zeng Tou City, and no one has cared about Liang Shan since he was arrested, and he had expected that there would be more than one auspicious, and at this time he was taken to Wang Lun by Liang Shanjun, and simply let go, and said: "The lord of Chao Gai Yizhai cannot make harmony between the upper and lower levels, causing Song Jiang to sit big and override him." I went to vote for him, sandwiched between the two of him, who did I help? ”
Wang Lun didn't want Yu Baosi to have such an insight, so he couldn't help but be a little impressed by him. Zhang San was arguing with Li Si just now, and he was unhappy, so he interjected at this time: "Then our Liangshanbo is not far from Qingzhou, recruiting heroes from all over the world, if you don't come to vote, we don't miss you in the village!" But how dare you rob my boat and provoke Dazhai? ”
"Originally, Dong Ping, the double-speared general of the Qingfu soldiers and horses, was my old man, he led the troops to conquer Liangshan before, and the two sides have formed a grudge, and I will be the enemy of the old man when I vote for Liangshan...... I also know that it is too late to say anything, but I really didn't know that the ship was from Liangshan that night! Yu Baosi kept his head down when he spoke, and then suddenly raised his head and said: "If you want to kill or chop, please take care of yourself, anyway, I Yu Baosi didn't know anyone in my life, and all the brothers died at the hands of the five dogs of the Zeng family, and it makes no sense for me to live alone!" ”
Wang Lun nodded when he saw this, Yu Baosi's words of self-blame at this time were really right, he could be said to have suffered all the losses of the so-called old people in his life.
Yu Baosi voted for Zengtou City in the original trajectory, but was put on a swing by Zeng and tied up and sent to Song Jiang to dissipate his anger. Later, when Song Jiang attacked Dongping Mansion, because he had a friendship with Dong Ping, he volunteered to send an envoy to Dongping, but he didn't say a word, he was almost pushed out by Dong Ping to behead the sacrificial flag, or too Shoucheng Wanli to stop, with the convention that the two countries have fought against each other since ancient times, and beat twenty sticks, only to get a glimmer of life. Later, Dong Ping reversed the water, Song Jiang was like a guest, and there was no condolences to Yu Baosi for half a sentence.
In this way, Yu Baosi is still quite loyal to Liangshan, when conquering Tianhu, Song Jiangjun called the northern army to be defeated, and several fierce generals in the formation were captured, Yu Baosi was so embarrassed and panicked, and he was hit by two arrows, and the handsome flag, Wu was holding it very straight, and followed Song Jiang closely, not leaving the size. Seeing that the handsome banner did not fall, the northern army did not dare to step forward indiscriminately. That's why Song Jiang escaped with his life.
Wang Lun is a person who can govern before and after, combined with the situation at this time, looking at this giant man who knelt on the ground and blamed himself, he sighed quite a lot: "Is it good to be betrayed?" ”
"I was betrayed, so I just can't live with my brothers!" Yu Bao looked around and sighed, he was going to take this opportunity to wash the brothers, but when he washed it, everyone was washed away.
"If you don't want to be betrayed again, then I'll give you a way out! At this time, there is still a person beside me who holds the flag, you tell me now, can I rest assured that the handsome flag will be handed over to you? Wang Lun dismounted and asked. The people who robbed the ship that day have all died at this time, and they can be regarded as retribution, at this time, only Yu Baosi is left, and it would be a pity if he killed him like this. To be honest, the fact that the jade seal can get rid of it so quickly this time still has a lot to do with the person in front of him. Without his "cooperation", Liang Shanbo painstakingly prepared this big drama of Li Daitao, but I am afraid that the gong has not yet started.
Yu Baosi looked at Wang Lun incredulously, and said in surprise: "You...... You don't kill me? Do you want me to give you the handsome flag!? ”
Wang Lun nodded and said, "Can I trust you?" ”
Yu Baosi struggled up from the ground, he stood together, his posture was indeed extraordinary, I saw him gritted his teeth and said: "The thief is bent on getting me, and the old people are unreliable, how do you know that the enemy is willing to take me in, just stop it!" Leader Wang, if you wish to borrow a thousand gold from me, Yu Baosi's life will be sold to you! ”
"If you go up the mountain, you will go up the mountain, and if you don't go up, you won't go up, what does it have to do with money? What money do you talk about in front of your brother? No wonder Zengtou was sold cheaply! Do you think this is a trade, a sale of livestock? Zhang Sanyi was angry when he heard this, no one had ever wanted to go to Liangshan and take money as a request.
Wang Lun waved his hand, his face was calm, and he asked, "What is it for?" ”
"Atonement! My brother ......" Yu Baosi just spoke, but Wang Lun stretched out his hand to stop him, and said: "This money is just for your sake, I don't ask how to use it!" After Wang Lun finished speaking, he glanced back at Jiao Ting and said:
"Lend it to him!" (To be continued......)
