Chapter 147: The Great War is Coming
After Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo saw the strength of the Zeng family boss, they were really taken aback, and they thought that the other brothers were not far behind.
Their attitude changed drastically, and they asked Zeng Tu and them to help quell the rebellion, and agreed to meet and set out for the expedition in half a month.
Then on a dark and windy night in the moon, Zeng Lang took someone to pick up a heavy gift and came to Qi Zhizhou's mansion......
"What? Zengjia City also joined the official army? ”
In the Zhujiazhuang meeting hall, Zhu Long, who was originally chatting and laughing with the generals, looked solemn, and looked at the time when he came to report the news, and was very surprised.
The plot is not right! How did Zeng Tou City collude with the two generals?
Shi Qian thought that he didn't know the origin of Zengtou City, so he glanced around at the generals present and explained: "The lord of Zengtou City is a Jurchen, called Chief Zeng, he has five sons, and the people in the rivers and lakes call the five tigers of the Zeng family, all of whom are very capable!" There are also two gun teachers, one is called Shi Wengong and the other is Su Ding, both of whom are not idle people! ”
Lu Zhishen interjected: "When the Sprinkle family went to Qingzhou, I passed by Lingzhou, but I heard of Shi Wengong's name, and everyone said that he was good at martial arts, but I don't know how!" ”
Strong, very strong! Zhu Long replied in his heart.
Can the person who can defeat Qin Ming in twenty rounds and almost stab him to death with a halberd be weak? I'm afraid Lu Junyi can't do it!
If he hadn't fled in a hurry after being defeated and was dizzy by Chao Gai's soul, Lu Junyi would never have succeeded easily.
There is really no one in the current Zhu Jiajun who can suppress him, Guan Sheng, Lin Chong, Luan Tingyu, and Lu Zhishen may not be his opponents, let alone others!
Yang Xiong and Deng Fei also said that they had heard of the names of the five tigers of the Zeng family, which should not be underestimated.
Guan Sheng suddenly got up and said: "My lord, when my subordinates were in Pucheng, they often corresponded with Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo. The subordinates are not talented, and they are willing to take the people of the headquarters and go to Lingzhou to pick them up on the road first. If he will come. Bring it up the mountain; If he refuses to surrender, he must be captured and offered to the lord, and his brothers will not have to work hard. I don't know what happens under the Lord's will? ”
Firearm? Hearing Guan Sheng say this, Zhu Long suddenly became interested in Wei Dingguo.
I heard that both Western Xia and Dajin had artillery, but the Great Song Dynasty did not.
It would be embarrassing if the traverser from the afterlife was suppressed by the enemy on the artillery!
Zhu Long decided that after this war, artillery must be developed, and it will play a great role in conquering cities and territories in the future.
As a leader, you don't have to know everything yourself, as long as you point out the direction and make up your mind, the craftsmen under your command will naturally make firearms and cannons. Chinese people are never short of wisdom, but they often use it in the wrong place.
Zhu Long retracted his thoughts, looked at Guan Sheng, who was still standing, waved his hand, and asked him to sit down, thinking that if he didn't let him go, Guan Sheng would probably be dissatisfied, so it was better to let him go and explore the reality.
So he said, "That's very good! It's just that this Zengtou City doesn't know the truth or reality, if there is any case, Captain Guan may not be able to catch it, and Deputy Captain Qin and Deputy Captain Huyan will also go together! ”
"Yes!" Qin Ming and Hu Yanzhuo got up and took orders!
"What a foot in Zengtou City, I will definitely capture Shi Wengong and the five tigers and dedicate them to the lord!" Qin Ming said with confidence.
Zhu Long looked at Qin Ming sympathetically, and could fully imagine how he was slapped in the face by reality. However, after Qin Ming took refuge in Zhujiazhuang, his martial arts have improved a lot, and he may not be as vulnerable in front of Shi Wengong as the original.
Zhu Long looked at Wu Yong next to him and said, "What does the military advisor think of this?" ”
Wu Yong has been a little disappointed recently, because of such a major matter as the personnel adjustment of the Zhu family's army, Zhu Long didn't even discuss it with him, the military advisor!
He had to reassess his position!
But then Zhu Long handed over the Dark Guard Camp to him to be in charge, which made him feel a little better, because he knew the status of the Dark Guard Camp in Zhu Long's heart, which showed that Zhu Long still trusted him.
"The lord has arranged everything!" He smiled and said, "It's just that since they are coming, why should we go on an expedition, Captain Guan might as well set up a position in Baima Plain and wait for work!" ”
Baima was originally in the northwest of Zhujiazhuang, in Guyang County, only a day and a half away from Zhujiazhuang.
Zhu Long thought for a while and said, "That's very good!" Master, you and Brother Wu Song took the Xuanwu Army to enter Dongping Mansion, one to defend the city, and the other to threaten behind the enemy! ”
Lu Zhishen got up and said, "Sprinkle the family to obey!" ”
After saying that, he sat down again.
Zhu Long continued: "The Vermilion Bird Army is stationed in the camp in front of the mountain, the White Tiger Army is stationed in the camp in the back mountain, and the Guards Army is stationed in Zhuangnai. ”
"Yes!" Luan Tingyu and Lin Chong led the order.
"Brother Shi Qian, you continue to investigate, and as soon as there is news, report back immediately!"
"Subordinates obey!"
"If Captain Guan succeeds in persuading them to surrender, if they don't know how to lift, we will defeat the Lingzhou official army with a dignified formation!" Zhu Long said it arrogantly, and the generals listened to it with enthusiasm!
Zhu Long is full of confidence in this battle, as long as the Lingzhou officials and troops dare to come to Dulonggang, not to mention the geographical advantages, that is, Zhu Biao's 3,000 sailors, the Xuanwu army of Dongping Mansion, and Zhujiazhuang are three-legged, each other is the horns, once the Lingzhou officials and troops come in, they will be attacked on their backs.
Although Shi Wengong and the five tigers of the Zeng family are fierce, they are more fearful than the fierce generals, and Zhujiazhuang is not afraid at all.
When the deliberations were over, everyone retreated and did as they were told.
But there were also some people who stayed, Shi Qian was one of them, and he knew that Zhu Long still had something to ask him.
"Brother Shiqian, how is Fan Xiu now?"
Zhu Long attaches great importance to Fan Xiu, he is not only a scholar, but also a scholar who can solve cases, and now there are only three scholars under Zhu Long - Wu Yong, Xiao Rang, and Fan Xiu.
Without the participation of scholars, the rebellion could not have succeeded.
Not only do they need the talent and intelligence of readers, but also they are the elite class of society, with a large number of wealth resources and networks.
Even in the Republic of China 800 years later, scholars are the backbone of the country and the backbone of the nation, not to mention the Great Song Dynasty where the emperor and scholars ruled the world together.
Zhu Long arranged Fan Xiu in the Dark Guard Camp, which was to place high hopes on him, hoping that he could become a strategist like Chen Ping, and the Dark Guard Camp was the sword that Zhu Long stuffed in his hand.
Shi Qian heard Zhu Long ask about Fan Xiu, and hurriedly replied: "Mr. Fan is very remarkable, now even the Lingzhou Mansion and Zengtou City have our eyeliner, and we can understand the enemy's movements at any time. The surrounding state capitals have already sent people to keep an eye on them, in case they send people to help in the war! ”
"Well, that's good!" Zhu Longzhuan nodded with satisfaction, this is exactly the talent he needs.
Yang Lin and Shi Qian are also very capable, but they can only carry out specific orders, and cannot make layouts and decisions.
Although Zhu Long was full of confidence in this battle, Zhu Jiajun was still preparing for the war intensively, collecting intelligence on the one hand and preparing war materials on the other.
In terms of materials, the Zhujia army mainly lacked arrows, and a large number of captives went to Dulong Mountain behind every day to cut bamboo, and cut them into arrow shafts after resisting back.
The King Kong Iron Workshop also suspended the creation of armor, and made every effort to cast armor-piercing arrow clusters, which were continuously sent to Zhujiazhuang.
