The new Beidaying sits west and faces east, the terrain is very high, and it is backed by a steep cliff behind it, and in front of it is a gentle slope, and the road leading to the back gate of Zhujiazhuang passes through here.

To the north was a cliff, more than ten meters high, and Zhu Long saw dozens of soldiers with ropes tied around their waists, hanging in mid-air, just like spider people.

With hammers and awls in their hands, they chiseled out some protruding places where they might climb.

Zhu Long stood on the edge of the cliff, leaned forward, stretched his neck to look at it for a while, nodded, and praised: "Master Lu is very careful!" It's good to do this, and you can't leave any safety dead ends! ”

"It's all an old idea." Lu Zhishen said with a smile.

"General Wen is a famous general in Hebei, you should listen to him more. The last time Tong Guan attacked, he heard that the general was victorious and made a great contribution! ”

To his subordinates, Zhu Long never hesitated to praise and express his love and attention.

"It's nothing, it's all the lord's wisdom and skill, and he has a good command!" Wenda waved his hand modestly, a happy smile on his face.

During the period of time when he had just returned to Zhujiazhuang, he had changed from an official to a bandit, and the gap in identity made him feel that his life was dark, and he was very desperate, and he didn't want to eat and sleep all day.

However, after a period of time, he found that the "Zhu Bandits" were even more formal than the official army, the discipline was stricter, and everyone was optimistic and full of vigor and vigor.

Compared with the rigidity and decay of the government, it is lifeless, and it is not the same.

The big leader Zhu Long is also a martial artist, with a heroic and straightforward personality, informal, and generous and benevolent, sympathetic to his subordinates, and does not disturb the people.

Slowly, he came to love it.

"Take me to the level!" Zhu Long commanded.

"Okay, the lord is with the Sprinkle family!" Out of the camp and going down the mountain to the north, the two checkpoints are built in narrow and steep places, and the huge stones are built and are strong and steep.

Of course, Zhu Long personally made the decision on the location, and he took the generals to inspect many times and listened to opinions extensively before deciding.

There are 500 people at each checkpoint, and the generals guarding the pass are Bao Xu and Shi En.

"Solid!" Lu Zhishen patted his chest and said, "Gao Yu is here, the Sprinkle family will take off all his balls!" ”

Wen Da expressed skepticism and said: "I heard that Gao Yu is very small, Monk Lu, your eyes are good!" ”

"No wonder I found a brother to be my son, it turns out that Gao Yu doesn't have a ball!" Lu Zhishen suddenly realized.

Zhu Long doesn't care about Gao Yu's ball, he only cares about Gao Yu's 100,000 army.

"Master Lu and General Wen, come to the villa tomorrow morning for a meeting to discuss how to deal with Gao Yu."

Lu Zhishen said depressedly: "What kind of meeting, my lord, how do you say to fight, can't the Sprinkle family just do it?" A matter of one word! ”

Yo, I think I've had too many meetings!

I don't like meetings!

Hum! If you want the leader not to have a meeting, that's impossible!

Zhu Long Yizheng said: "I wish Long has always been obedient and likes to listen to the different opinions of his brothers!" One person counts short, three people count long! ”

"Master Lu, General Wen, think about how to fight today, and speak enthusiastically tomorrow! I'll go back first! ”

Seeing the back of Zhu Long's departure, Lu Zhishen muttered: "The lord is good at everything, but he likes to have meetings too much, and every time he listens to it, he wants to sleep!" ”

Wen Da said disapprerovingly: "What is this, it's good that it's during the work time, when I was in the Daimyo's Mansion, Liang Zhongshu held meetings after work, saying that it didn't take up office time, damn, isn't Lao Tzu's personal time worthless?" ”

The next day, Zhu Long held a meeting in a small hall.

Because there were not many people in attendance, it was not in the council hall, which was too big to accommodate a few hundred people.

A dozen people were so lonely there, and there was an echo of their words.

There was a long conference table in the hall, and the principal Zhu sat at the end of the long table, and his subordinates sat in two rows.

On the wall behind Zhulong, there is a huge map hanging, with cities, lakes, mountains, rivers, roads......

This was contributed by Xu Guanzhong. Zhu Long felt that this was really a strange person, it seemed that the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty were contained in his chest, and he had really picked up a treasure.

At this moment, he sat in the first place on Zhu Long's right hand, which was originally Wu Yong's position.

Zhu Hu, who was sitting opposite him, maliciously guessed in his heart, would Wu Yong fight with him after he came back?

Zhu Long glanced at the participants present, Xu Guanzhong, Zhu Hu, Zhu Biao, Guan Sheng, Lin Chong, Luan Tingyu, Lu Zhishen, Qin Ming, Zeng Rong, Chen Shou, Wu Song, Hua Rong, Hu Yanzhuo, Xu Ning, Wen Da, Zhang Qing.

These sixteen people are already all the high-level leaders of Zhujiazhuang, although Shi Wengong and Bian Xiang are very strong, they still play the role of bodyguards and thugs, and have not entered the management.

"First of all, I announce one thing, Mr. Xu will serve as the marching staff officer of the Zhujia Army!" Zhu Long put away his usual easy-going and solemn expression.

Xu Guanzhong obviously knew it a long time ago, stood up, bowed slightly, and hugged his fists at everyone and said: "Xu Moucai is a shallow learner, please give me more advice in the future!" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Everyone replied.

The position of "marching staff officer" was the highest in the Tang Dynasty, and his duties were equivalent to those of the chief of staff of later generations.

His main responsibilities are to collect intelligence, analyze the battlefield situation, and plan for the commander-in-chief.

To put it simply, the marching staff makes the idea, the chief general makes the decision, and then the marching staff officer makes the arrangement, and the generals of each department implement it.

This position is the same as that of a military advisor, but the name is different, and it doesn't sound as tall as a "military advisor".

Because Wu Yong was already a bigwig in Liangshan at that time, a famous figure in the rivers and lakes.

And Xu Guanzhong is unknown

After Xu Guanzhong sat down, Zhu Long's eyes were like electricity, and he said in a deep voice: "Everyone, Gao Yu will lead an army of 100,000 to invade my Zhujiazhuang, how should we resist the enemy, please express your opinions and speak freely." ”

Lu Zhishen was the first to stand up and shouted: "The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, if he dares to come, we will kill him!" ”

Wu Song's eyes were murderous, and he got up and asked: "The last general is willing to be the striker!" ”

Zhu Hu was stunned, weren't these words all said by me before? Why are these two guys hot-tempered than me?

"Courage is commendable! Have you ever wondered how to fight? ”

When Zhu Long asked this, Lu Zhishen was dumbfounded, "If the lord says how to fight, the Sprinkle family will fight!" ”

Zhu Long was also speechless, but he didn't expect his generals to come up with any good ideas for them to come to the meeting to discuss, mainly to cultivate their military capabilities.

"We have to take the initiative to attack, ambush them halfway, and kill them without leaving a piece of armor!"

Wu Song proposed a clear tactic, but as soon as he said this, he was opposed by Guan Sheng:

"The general thinks that it is not suitable to fight, and he should take advantage of the geographical advantage and stick to it."

"We wish the two walls in the back mountain of Jiazhuang, the three walls in the front mountain, and the two large camps in the north and south, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they can completely consume the sharp energy of the officers and soldiers first, and then counterattack and defeat them in one fell swoop!"

"No!" Luan Tingyu got up and said: "The discipline of the official army is corrupt, and the people are disturbed everywhere, if the soldiers come to Zhujiazhuang, I am afraid that the people of Zhujia Village will suffer from it!" ”

Hu Yanzhuo said disapprerovingly: "Those who have achieved great things are not informal!" ”

……

The hall suddenly became lively, everyone argued, and took the initiative to attack with some proposals, such as Zhu Hu, Luan Tingyu, Lu Zhishen, Qin Ming, Wu Song, Hua Rong, Hu Yanzhuo;

Some asked to stick to Zhujiazhuang, Guan Sheng, Zeng Rong, Chen Shou, Wen Da, Xu Ning, Zhang Qing and others.

Both sides have their own arguments.

Zhu Long hesitated in his heart, his eyes wandered around, and he found that there were three other people present who did not speak-Xu Guanzhong, Zhu Biao, and Lin Chong.

I saw that Lin Chong's eyes were full of hatred, and his hands were clenched into fists, as if he wanted to kill.

"Lin Jiaotou-" Zhu Long was startled, Lin Chong was demonic?

A peaceful, gentle and steady person!

Everyone's eyes turned to Lin Chong, only to see him slam his fist on the table, gritting his teeth and saying, "Gao Yu old thief, this time it's either you die or I live!" ”

"Good! Sprinkle home to help you! Lu Zhishen patted his chest and said loudly.

Zhu Long's heart sank, and he forgot this section, what should I do?

Gao Yu can't be killed.

It's not really to rebel, but to recruit peace!

Gao Yu is the captain of the dynasty, the marshal of the Sanya Palace, the minister of the hidden residence of the Daojun Emperor, and his confidants!

If Gao Yu is killed, I'm afraid that Zhao'an's matter will be yellow.

This undermines the basic strategy of Zhujiazhuang.

Except for Lu Zhishen, no one else spoke out in support, and the room fell into an awkward silence.

No one wants to kill Gao Yu, if Yang Zhi is there, he may support killing Gao Yu, but others have no personal grudges with Gao Yu.

If you kill Gao Yu, you won't be able to recruit An, and this will be the way for everyone.

Zhu Long took in everyone's expressions, and suddenly understood in his heart why Song Jiang wanted to recruit An.

Because Zhao'an is in line with the interests of the majority of the people, it has a broad mass base.

Except for a few people from Wu Song and Li Kui, most of them hope to recruit An.

It is destined to sacrifice only a few people, and Lin Chong is one of the few.

Rebellion - Zhao'an - secession,

This is a three-step strategy formulated by Zhu Long himself, and he cannot tolerate anyone sabotage!

But seeing Lin Chong's sad and indignant face, his heart was suddenly moved, if Lin Chong was not allowed to take revenge, then what was the difference between himself and Song Jiang?

Do you want to become the person you hate the most?

Lin Chong took in everyone's expressions, and their silence had already indicated that they were against killing Gao Yu.

The people present are all high-level officials of the Zhu Jiajun, and they pay attention to interests, rather than happiness and hatred, and they are hot-blooded and impulsive.

He suddenly felt a sense of sadness, as if the whole world was standing in front of him, and only Lu Zhishen was still standing beside him.

"Sect Leader Lin, if you catch Gao Yu, I will definitely let you take revenge with your own hands!"

Zhu Long promised him seriously.

Lin Chong turned his head sharply and looked at Zhu Long in surprise.

The others also looked at it in shock, as if they couldn't believe it.

"Killing a high-ranking guy doesn't affect the overall situation! We are not in love with Zhao Guan's family, what kind of feelings do we want to cultivate, we are forcing him to recruit peace! ”

"You don't really want to be his loyal servants, don't forget, our ultimate goal!"

"Sect Leader Lin, your hatred is my hatred, and it is also everyone's hatred, each of us will cut Gao Yu for you!" Zhu Long said awe-inspiringly.

Some people laughed, as if they didn't hear the true meaning of Zhu Long's words. But there are also people whose faces have changed, and Zhu Long is going to pull everyone into the water.

Everyone has used knives, and they are all hated by Emperor Daojun, see which of you dares to abandon Lao Tzu.

Zhu Long was also a little worried that someone was pretending to be singing and singing, and after recruiting An, he really threw himself into the arms of the Great Song Dynasty.

He was sure that the imperial court would definitely use the means of division and pull in the future to break down the forces of Zhujiazhuang, just like it did against Liangshan.

"Don't worry, Zhao'an's matter won't be yellow, even if it's yellow, it doesn't matter, it's a big deal, let's contact Fang La, echo him from north to south, and then persuade Tian Hu and Wang Qing to rebel together and divide him Zhao and Song world!"

"Good! This is the most painful, and my heart! Zhu Hu said happily.

Zhu Long glanced at Xu Guanzhong and Zhu Biao, neither of them had the intention of speaking, so the meeting was dismissed.

He deliberately left Xu Guanzhong and Zhu Biao behind, and said, "Staff Officer Xu, third brother, how about accompanying me to Zhujia Village for a walk?" ”

Xu Guanzhong smiled: "Be obedient!" ”

Zhu Biao smiled and followed.

"Where are you going? Take me with you! Zhu Hu saw it, and hurriedly ran over, begging to follow.

Zhu Long glared at him, looked left and right, waved his hand to let the guards walk away, and then hated iron and steel: "Can you grow a little?" When we go out with our third brother, one of us has to stay at home? ”

Even if there is no one, he can't say it directly, so he can only make vague points.

Fortunately, Zhu Hu is not too stupid, looking at the eldest brother's serious face, although I don't know why the three brothers must have someone to stay at home, but the eldest brother must have a reason, but he doesn't understand it yet.

So he stayed with an aggrieved face.

Zhu Long shook his head helplessly, if Zhu Hu was as smart and capable as Zhu Biao, he would have given him the title of commander of the Guards Army long ago.

After a series of fortification construction, it is now not as convenient as before to enter Zhujia Village below from Zhujiazhuang.

It is necessary to follow the mountain avenue, through two majestic and steep gates, to the third gate, go out through the small gate on the side, and go down the narrow steps.

After descending the steps, Xu Guanzhong turned his head and stared at the three Xiongguan above, and said: "Lord, these three Xiongguan, as well as the two passes in the back mountain, should be guarded by generals and placed under the direct management of the garrison battalion." ”

"What Staff Officer Xu said is reasonable! Then those five generals should be sent to guard the pass? ”

"Since the lord asked, the subordinates said it casually, and the subordinates recommended these five people: Yang Xiong, Huang Xin, Han Tao, Peng Xi, and Cao Zheng."

Zhu Long nodded and said, "Staff Officer Xu went back and asked Xiao Rang to write an appointment, I signed it, and then I transferred people!" ”

"Yes!" Xu Guanzhong was a little surprised, and as soon as he said it casually, Zhu Long agreed!?

"Staff Officer Xu, third brother, why didn't you speak just now? How do you think this battle should be fought? ”

Zhu Long took out this question and asked it again.

Xu Guanzhong and Zhu Biao glanced at each other and said with a smile: "Please say it first!" ”

Zhu Biao was also not polite, and said: "Big brother, before answering this question, I want to ask you, what do you think Gao Yu, or the Great Song Dynasty, how do they want to fight?" ”
