Some things are good to talk about at the wine table, and some things are only good to discuss in private.

Zhu Long can't openly discuss what he wants to say to Lu Zhishen, in case Lu Zhishen fiercely opposes it in front of many people at the banquet, then he won't be able to get off the stage, which will damage his prestige!

Especially after drinking, Lu Zhishen is even more self-controlled.

In the original work, at the Chongyang Flower Appreciation Banquet, Li Kui openly opposed Zhao'an after drinking, so that Song Jiang could not get off the stage.

Li Kui is Song Jiang's No. 1 Tianzi diehard, and if this is the case, how can Zhu Long not keep an eye on it.

He coughed and winked at Wu Song.

Wu Song understood, stood up and said: "Since the lord is here, he must review the results of the training, Liu Tang, Lei Heng, Bao Xu, and Shi En, the four brothers, follow me to gather troops and horses to line up!" ”

"Good! Rest in peace, my lord! The four got up and left.

Zhu Long waved his hand and said to Xiao Rang and Bian Xiang: "You guys should go and have a look!" ”

"Yes!" The two left, and only Zhu Long and Lu Zhishen were left in the hall.

Lu Zhishen also felt that the atmosphere was wrong, sat up straight, and looked at Zhu Long.

"Zhu Jiajun wants to accept the imperial court's recruitment, what does the master think?" Zhu Long asked directly.

"What the lord says, what to do with the Sprinkle family, the Sprinkle family only knows how to drink wine and eat meat, and want to be happy and happy!"

To Zhu Long's surprise, Lu Zhishen said quickly.

He was stunned for a moment, pondered for a while, and then understood.

In the original work, Lu Zhishen opposed Song Jiang's recruitment because he knew that with Song Jiang's character, he would definitely compromise in the imperial court, and he would be pickled and angry, and where could the flower monk with a violent personality endure it.

But he understands that Zhu Long's attitude towards the court has always been strong, and he will not let his subordinates follow him to be wronged, so it doesn't matter if he recruits him or not.

More importantly, he knew that Zhao'an was just an expedient measure, in exchange for a relatively stable environment and accumulating strength, so he quite understood and supported this.

"Haha, that's good! The master is my confidant, and you know my intentions, and I am very happy that you can support me! ”

Lu Zhi said in a deep voice: "This world is indeed too dark, I expect to fight with the lord, overturn this filthy officialdom, and reshape Lang Lang Qiankun!" ”

"Good! Let's go and see how the Xuanwu Army is training and training! ”

"I won't disappoint my lord!" Lu Zhishen is full of confidence.

Zhu Long and Lu Zhishen walked out of the hall hand in hand and came to the school field, only to see the 8,000 troops lined up on the school field, with bright armor, strict military appearance, and a murderous aura.

An army will always be branded as a general.

The Xuanwu army was deeply influenced by Lu Zhishen and Wu Song, and they fought bravely and indomitable.

Zhu Long looked at the army below, as if he could see a bloody and belligerent momentum condensed above the army.

This is not illusory, a battle-hardened general, as long as he looks at an army, he can judge the quality of this army.

The constant changes in the infantry phalanx below, although not yet to the point of commanding an arm, are already very proficient.

Zhu Long nodded with satisfaction, and said to Lu Zhishen and Wu Song: "You train well, and soon there will be a big battle to fight!" ”

Wu Song's eyes lit up and asked, "Is it with Fang La?" ”

Zhu Long shook his head, "Fang La's hard bone is left for the imperial court to gnaw!" ”

Originally, Zhu Long planned to go back in the evening, but Lu Zhishen and Wu Song, the two drinking masters, went into battle repeatedly, plus Liu Tang, Lei Heng and others were also very drunk, and Bian Xiang, who shouldered the heavy responsibility of defense, did not drink a drop of wine, Zhu Long couldn't stand their repeated toasts, and finally got drunk, and spent the night in Beidaying in the evening, and returned to Zhujiazhuang the next morning.

Wu was the first to report to him.

"Lu and Wu are too ignorant of the severity, they actually let the lord get drunk, fortunately, the lord has good wine, if he is like some ordinary people, he is drunk and crazy, wouldn't it damage the majesty of the lord!

After learning that Zhu Long was drunk last night, Wu Yong was very angry and severely criticized Lu Zhishen and Wu Song, and put a gun and a stick in his words, which made Zhu Long embarrassed.

He tried to remember what he had done when he was drunk last night, as if he was dancing and singing with a sword.

"The big husband is famous, the meritorious service is comforting his life, comforting his life, I will be drunk, I will be drunk and groaning......"

Zhu Long secretly wiped the sweat on his forehead, and felt a little happy in his heart, fortunately he read a few more books, cultural people are crazy and pay attention to alcohol, if they tell a bunch of yellow jokes, it will be a big loss of majesty.

"By the way, what did you come to me for?" Zhu Long hurriedly interrupted.

"Liu Yanqing is gone!"

"Let's go!"

"Zeng Mi has sent a letter!" Wu presented a letter with both hands.

"Oh?" Zhu Long's eyes lit up, took a look, and sighed: "Da Liao is no longer a country!" ”

"Yes! Zeng Mi said in the letter that since the escape of Emperor Tianzuo and the death of Emperor Yeluchun of Tianxi, there is no emperor in Daliao, and Yanjing Mansion is governed by the Empress Dowager Xiao, the imperial Yelu Dashi, and the Marshal of the Fanhan Mabu Army, Li Chuwen, but not long ago, Li Chuwen wanted to go south to the Great Song Dynasty and was given death by the Empress Dowager Xiao. ”

Zhu Long's eyes were fixed on one of the names on the letter - Yelu Dashi!

This is a great historical figure, after the fall of the Great Liao, he led the remnants of the Liao army, fled to the west, established the Western Liao, and was the founding emperor of the Western Liao.

Zeng Mi said in the letter that he and Hua Rong made great efforts to see Yelu Dashi, but found nothing.

Yelu Dashi expressed his moral support, but he could not provide any practical support, because now the Liao State itself is also in difficulty, and it has been at war with the Jin State for many years, and the war horses have been greatly damaged, and he is not enough.

Zeng Mi failed to get war horses from the Great Liao Imperial Court, and in desperation, he privately purchased five hundred horses from some horse merchants.

At the end of the letter, he said that he was ready to leave for Zhujiazhuang.

Zhu Long's fingers tapped on the armrest of the chair and bowed his head in contemplation.

Wu Yong understood his thoughts, and said: "Lord, last time Yang Zhi wrote to say that he was difficult to stand independent, please ask the lord to send someone to help, why don't you let the two generals Hua Rong and Zeng Mi stay in Qingzhou?" ”

Zhu Long raised his head and said slowly: "Who is the main and who is the auxiliary?" ”

Wu Yong said without thinking: "Naturally, General Hua is the mainstay, supplemented by Yang and Zeng. ”

"Okay, that's it!"

Zhu Long thought about it for a while, and then decided.

Hua Rong is one of the generals he admires the most, wise and brave, and chivalrous pride, able to unite soldiers and heroes from all walks of life, and is one of the few generals under his command who can take charge alone.

Moreover, he is a native of Qingzhou, who has served as a Zhizhai in Qingfeng Village for many years, and is familiar with the customs of Qingzhou, so he is indeed the most suitable candidate.

Zhu Long was originally worried that Yang Zhi would not be convinced, but Hua Rong joined Zhujiazhuang earlier than Yang Zhi, and his qualifications were deeper than him, so Yang Zhi had nothing to complain about.

People's hearts are like this, the old man can still accept it on his head, and the most unbearable thing is to come from behind, and the newcomer rides on his head.

As soon as the matter was agreed, a voice came: "My lord, the imperial court has sent a messenger to Jeju!" ”

Xu Guanzhong strode in, smiling.

"Oh?" Zhu Long smiled, at this time, the imperial court sent Qin to Jeju, it must be to recruit them.

The reason why I don't go to Fuzhi Dongpyeongfu is because I have to pass through Zhujiazhuang, and it is more convenient to Jeju unless it is a detour from Hebei.

"Who is the Chincha?" Wu Yong asked, a little surprised in his heart, why did Xu Guanzhong get the news before himself, obviously he was the intelligence leader.

"Doctor Guanglu and secretary Zhao Lianghe!"
