As one of the bigwigs in Liangshan, Chai Daguan is naturally qualified to participate in the deliberations against the officials and soldiers.

The imperial court sent 8,000 men and horses headed by Hu Yanzhuo, of which 3,000 Ma troops and 5,000 infantry troops, were divided into three roads, front, middle and back, and rushed towards Liangshan.

Tanma got the news and sent it back to Liangshan's nest as soon as possible.

Chai Daguan listened to it, ignored Song Jiang and the others' countermeasures, and said with a smile to Qin Ming: "Commander Qin, when did the local forbidden army become so rich, and it turned out to be a 3,000 horse army?" ”

"This ......"

Qin Ming was also speechless, shook his head and said, "The last general really doesn't know!" ”

As we all know, the Great Song Dynasty lost Youzhou and the northwest horse breeding land, and it was the dynasty that lacked horses the most in all dynasties.

Even the Bianliang Forbidden Army does not have many horse troops, and if you don't want to gather three thousand horse troops under the command of just one Hu Yanzhuo.

If it is really let go, wouldn't the Great Song cavalry be able to fight with the cavalry of the Liao State and the iron cavalry of the Jin State in the future?

"Don't be careless about the big officials, that Hu Yanzhuo is the founder of the country, after Hu Yanzan, the family history is ironclad!"

Wu Yong reminded on the side: "I heard that he is good at using double whips, and he has the courage to ...... when he is not right."

"Don't don't, don't mention anything to someone!"

Chai Daguan waved his hand again and again, and said with a smile: "Isn't Hu Yanzhuo a general in commanding the army, whether his martial arts are strong or not, and how much does it have to do with the combat effectiveness of the army?" ”

"This ......"

Wu Yong looked confused, he habitually used the combat power on the rivers and lakes to compare the combat power of the officers and soldiers.

Song Jiang and Chao Gai next to him also stopped discussing and looked over together.

"What are you doing here?"

Chai Daguan said angrily: "I should ask Commander Qin and General Huang who understand what kind of people are, what kind of birds do the local forbidden army look like, and who can compare to the two of them?" ”

Qin Ming's old face flushed, and he said embarrassedly: "The combat strength of the local forbidden army is really not successful, but I don't know what strength Hu Yanzhuo's soldiers and horses are?" ”

Huang Xin couldn't help but say: "The forbidden army has been rotten for a long time, not to mention the lax training, the situation of empty salaries is particularly serious, and the life of the officers and soldiers below is not very good!" ”

When the leader of Liangshan heard this, he was immediately in high spirits and his morale was high, if the Hu Yanzhuo Department who came to encircle and suppress was such an existence, then they would have nothing to worry about at all.

Chai Daguan laughed and unceremoniously debunked: "The two of you still don't want to talk too much, so let's talk about it!" ”

When the eyes of the leader of the lobby gathered, he smiled and said: "In the eyes of a certain family, the forbidden army is not so much an army as the best short-term worker!" ”

"In addition to combat effectiveness, they farm the land, send food to help buy vegetables, send invitations to 30,000 taels, play and sing everything, and can be said to be the most profitable army!"

As he spoke, he looked at Lin Chong and said with a leisurely smile: "Lin Jiaotou, is the Bianliang Forbidden Army like this?" ”

Lin Chong's flying face suddenly turned red, and he coughed again and again without making a sound, but the meaning was already very obvious.

Tut......

The leaders present were suddenly in high spirits, but they didn't expect to hear such exciting news, and the worries and fears in their hearts had long since disappeared.

The Bianliang forbidden army has become the 'most profitable army', and the situation of the local forbidden army can be imagined.

What else is there to discuss?

"What do the officials think about this battle?"

Song Jiang was also full of confidence, and subconsciously asked, "What kind of tactics should we adopt?" ”

"Let's test it first!"

Chai Daguan smiled and said: "If the generals of the opposite side are willing to fight alone, then they will rush up and capture people!" ”

"What is your reaction, the two armies are fighting against each other to the extreme, and what do you want to say that the rules of the rivers and lakes are not successful, and the winner is not to blame!"

Chai Daguan was very polite and sneered: "If the generals of the official army don't have the impulse to heat their brains, let's find a suitable opportunity to fight with them hand-to-hand!" ”

"No matter how bad the officers and soldiers are, they have received a certain amount of military training, and there are sharp armor and weapons to use, what we can rely on here is the martial courage of the leaders and the blood of the younger brothers!"

At this time, the Liangshan people, except for Qin Ming and Huang Xin's men and horses who had undergone a little training, the rest were at the level of group fighting.

It may be that the sick lieutenant Chi Sun Li has the ability to train and command the troops, but unfortunately this guy is not taken seriously.

As for Xiao Li Guanghuarong, the so-called Qingfeng Zhai Wuzhizhai before, in fact, was a militia leader with no grade, and he also relied on his own martial arts and appeal to fight, as for his military quality and command ability, don't expect too much.

Song Jiang subconsciously looked at Wu Yong, and Chao Gai reacted in the same way......

"What the big official said is reasonable, let's follow the meaning of the big official, just give it a try!"

Wu Yong has no good way, his knowledge and ability are used to calculate people's hearts, and he does not know the specific military strategy.

Although I don't think Chai Daguan's words are very good, but after careful consideration, it makes sense to say, so give it a try.

The matter was settled, and soon the front camp of Liangshan became lively, and the baggage men and horses of the rear camp also set off, and Chao Gai and Chai Daguan stayed in the village.

"Why don't the big officials go and take a look?"

Chao Gai was bored, and went directly to the clean and tidy back camp to look for firewood and the big officials talked.

"But rookies peck each other, what's there to see?"

Chai Daguan said with a smile: "As long as Brother Gongming acts according to a certain previous plan, even if he fails to solve the problem of offending officials and soldiers, it is not difficult to teach them a lesson!" ”

"Anyway, Liangshan is supported by eight hundred miles of water, even if you can't shrink back and nest, at least safety is not a problem!"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "With the current grain reserves in the mountains, it won't be a problem to nest for a year and a half!" ”

"The words of the big officials are too frustrating!"

Chao Gai shook his head and disagreed: "If we can win, we naturally can't relax our carelessness, so that our Liangshan's name can be even louder!" ”

"I don't want Liangshan's name to be too loud!"

Chai Daguan shook his head and said: "After all, the imperial court is a behemoth, even if the official army is corrupt and unbearable, it will continue to send a large number of people to encircle and suppress!" ”

"But what about Liangshan, after all, it's just a cottage, the foundation is there, as long as it is defeated once, it may be a big loss, and even a collapse is possible!"

Speaking of this, he shook his head and smiled: "At present, there are a lot of people and horses in the cottage, and they can exceed 10,000 casually, but it is a very strong force!" ”

"If you train properly, not to mention that you can get 10,000 elite soldiers, at least 3,000 elites will not be a problem!"

Chao Gai was dumbfounded when he heard this, but he couldn't help but feel excited, and when he saw the big officials stopping, he couldn't help but ask: "What's next?" ”

"Next, either raise the anti-flag, or accept Zhao'an to become a feudal town!"

Chai Daguan's eyes were blazing, and he chuckled: "I think that before that, don't make too much trouble, and don't expand too fast!" ”

"If you make too much trouble, it will naturally cause continuous blows from the imperial court, unless you can continue to win, otherwise Liangshan will be consumed to death sooner or later!"

"As for not expanding too fast, Liangshan's territory is so big, and the foundation is just like that, once there are too many people and horses under him, a single grain and grass problem will be very fatal. When the time comes, you have to attack the state and break the county, which is no different from a rebellion! ”

Chao Gai was stunned again, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Sure enough, he was born as a nobleman in the former dynasty, and he opened his mouth to rebel against the secession of the feudal town, which he couldn't have thought of before.

I just want to take advantage of the favorable terrain of Liangshan and drink wine and eat meat in large bowls with my brothers, where can I think so far-reaching?

"Don't think you can't do it!"

Chai Daguan smiled and said: "The Heavenly King used to be the capital of Dongxi Village, and the population under his management was several thousand, and the relationship with the government should not be bad, how could he not know the living conditions of the people at the bottom?" ”

Chao Gai nodded and said: "There are too many harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and there are also local squires, as well as the exploitation of county officials, and the average homesteaders with land can only barely make ends meet. ”

"The waterways here in Liangshan are criss-crossed, and the situation should be pretty good!"

Chai Daguan said with a smile: "The real poor place, it is estimated that the situation has been so bad that it is beyond measure, it is always a fact that bandits are everywhere in the Great Song Dynasty, and it is not that there is no green forest village comparable to Liangshan, Liangshan can mix well by relying on developed waterways, why be that bird?" ”

Chao Gai nodded in agreement, and bluntly said that the big official was worthy of being a descendant of the royal family of the previous dynasty, and his extensive knowledge was admirable.

Chai Daguan laughed and invited Chao Gai to the back camp to wander around casually, this nominal boss of Liangshan, who was born in Dubao, had never been to the back camp before.

Chao Gai agreed very face-savingly, but the next scene he saw surprised him, and he exclaimed again and again that it was impossible.

Whether it is a clean and tidy sanitary environment, or a beautiful and livable residential area in the plan, it is called Chao Gai is an eye-opening rush.

Not to mention, the workshops that are related to ordinary life, such as the sauce and vinegar workshop, and the canning workshop, etc., all make him feel unreal.

Is this still a den of bandits?

Looking at these water-driven workshops, the daily output is not a small amount, and if they are all sold, it will be a lot of money.

In particular, the canning workshop surprised him, with the canning thing, the food preservation time has increased greatly, and fools know the benefits of this for the cottage.

Even the iron workshop in charge of Tang Long, the leopard leopard, has been able to produce all kinds of military materials relatively smoothly with the help of the water conservancy organs, especially knives and guns, and has a fixed output every day.

The shipbuilding workshop presided over by Meng Kang was the largest, and Chao Gai was stunned for a while when he saw hundreds of people busy making fishing boats.

The whole camp is busy, but thousands of people are busy but orderly, and there is no sign of chaos at all......
