When the sun sets, the red glow blooms, so that everything is clothed with layers of golden veil.

Chao Gai knew that he was there, and the brothers didn't let go much. After clinking glasses one by one, I ate a few cups and talked about the conversation, and almost two hours passed. So he took a few ladies to walk on the mountain, and came to the Broken Gold Pavilion halfway up the mountain.

Li Qingwan, Master Li, Hu Sanniang, and the four daughters of Yelu Tali enjoyed the beautiful scenery. At this time, the scenery of Liangshan is very beautiful, and the women are constantly laughing.

Chao Gai looked at the few women in the sunset, and there was a kind of divine beauty. Look at the scenery of Liangshan again, the green mountains and green waters, like a picture scroll. No wonder the master of the world lived here in the deep mountains and old forests.

"Brother, you're looking for us!" At this time, there was a shout from the bottom of the mountain, and several people rushed quickly, the first two were Han Shizhong and Li Jun. A few steps behind are Guo Sheng, Yu Tai, Han Yong, Taishan, and Yelu Zonglin.

"Why are you all here?" Chao Gai was a little surprised.

"Brother, we are the generals of the trapping army." Guo Sheng's face was full of course.

Chao Gai knew what this man thought, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly: "You, you, in this Liangshan, you should eat and drink with your brothers, and be closer and closer." ”

"Brother, don't worry! I drank with the new brothers one by one, and then there was a chance. Guo Sheng nodded with a smile, and screamed: "That's it, Li Kui's black guy has fallen under the table again." ”

While speaking, everyone came to the Broken Gold Pavilion.

Chao Gai looked at Han Shizhong, pointed to Yelu Zonglin, Han Yong and Taishan and said: "Shizhong, tomorrow I will go to the military factory and customize weapons and make iron armor for them, they are all their own people, and they can't be lazy when they come to the Great Song Dynasty." ”

"Hey, hey, don't want the iron armor, I'm going to put a good hammer!"

Not to mention that Taishan smiled and blossomed, even Han Yong and Yelu Zonglin were all happy. After following them for so many days, they had long discovered that the weapons of the Chao Gai Guards were called precious blades, and now they were forged for them, who didn't like it?

Han Shizhong didn't speak, just nodded!

Chao Gai remembered the disadvantages of the scarcity of officers, and his face was very solemn: "In addition, you select a hundred or so outstanding performers from the guard battalion, tell them that they have learned almost, and send them to each army as commanders." By the way, you picked up half of the veterans you brought from the Western Army. ”

"Brother, is that true?" Han Shizhong nodded, and when he heard the latter sentence, his voice suddenly rose up, and he looked at Chao Gai with surprise on his face.

"When did I tell a lie?" Chao Gai was slightly surprised, but he understood. With the eyes of Splash Han Wu, he can't look down on it at all if he doesn't have any ability. These more than 100 veterans are skilled in archery and horses, and they also hope to change their careers.

Thinking of this, he advised: "You tell those who were not selected not to be discouraged, to work hard, and there will be opportunities to be promoted in the future." ”

"Brother, don't worry, this little brother still knows!" Han Shizhong nodded like pounding garlic, a smile appeared on his rigid face, and he said confidently: "As long as this news is released, there will be more veterans of the Western Army to vote." ”

。 Although the Western Army is elite, it is impersonated and has a lot of corruption. For example, Wang Yuan's fat man poured iron armor from that side is the best proof. I don't know how many veterans who survived and saw through the darkness of officialdom left the scene.

Chao Gai can guess one or two without asking, and the internal problems of the Western Army are not small to lead to a few years later, when the entire Jin army was wiped out and withdrew from the historical stage.

"It's still the same sentence, strictly confidential!" He patted Han Shizhong on the shoulder and winked again: "By the way, don't spoil the fun, go and drink with your brother." ”

"Let's go and find the blacksmith of Tanglong." Han Shizhong comprehended that Chao Gai had something. immediately beckoned Guo Sheng, Han Yong, Taishan, and Yelu Zonglin to leave.

Chao Gai smiled and looked at Li Jun, the mixed river dragon: "Brother, how is the formation of the water army?" ”

Li Junhei's face flushed slightly, and he stepped forward to sing a big song, and reported: "Select recruits from the reserve battalion, the veterans from several battalions are currently more than 3,000, and there are more than 100 warships of all kinds, but there are only a thousand ......."

Chao Gai waved his hand and picked up his words: "I specially ordered the sea boat to be given to Zhang Hengying first!" I have arrangements for your battalion, and 3,000 people are not enough. Tomorrow, you will go to each water battalion to secondment 500 veterans and step up training and running-in. ”

"Yes, it's just ......" Li Junang commanded, slightly worried.

"Rest assured, they will listen to my orders. Besides, when the time comes, they will blame you for less! Chao Gai shook his head with a smile and pulled Li Jun to the table and sat down.

"Brother, I have an important task for you!"

"The elder brother is sent, and the younger brother will never give up." Li Jun got up and patted his chest. For Shandong Chao Tianwang's help to help the poor, there is no doubt about employing people, he admires it in his heart, and he is worried that he has not made an inch, how not to be brave?

"You sit down ......," Chao Gai pressed Li Jun and took out a map from his arms and spread it out on the podium, a topographical map of the surrounding state capitals in Shandong.

"There are more than a dozen sea-going ships in the bay near the Laizhou Shipyard, with the smallest being 3,600 materials and the largest being 18,000 materials, which are prepared for my brothers."

"Many... How much? Brother, how much material did you say was the largest ship? Li Jun's eyes widened, his dark face was full of shock, and his voice was raised an octave. Li Qingwan, who was frolicking outside the pavilion, was also alarmed.

Don't blame Li Jun for making such a fuss, a thousand-material ship can carry five or six hundred people, which is very large, not to mention a thousand-thousand-material ship, how big does it have to be?

"It's a Mulan boat, 18,000 materials." Chao Gai explained with a smile. He was not surprised to see a big ship, but he knew that the ship above all expectations was a behemoth, and he also understood Li Jun's mood at the moment.

Fortunately, Chaojianglong was not shocked for long, he came back to his senses, and also thought of the point: "Brother, you said that all these big ships were handed over to the seventh battalion?" ”

"Well, so three thousand isn't enough." Chao Gai nodded, pointed to Bohai Bay, and moved to two red areas: "Brother, come and see here, the top is Goryeo, and the silkworm below is the Wa Kingdom, see that the green area in the middle is not, I remember correctly, this place should be called Tamna." The climate is suitable, the soil is fertile, and it is larger than several state capitals combined. ”

"The bottom line is, it's a borderland!"

When the last sentence came out, the surrounding women gasped. Either staring at the map blankly, or looking at Chao Gai in a daze.

They are all smart people in ice and snow, how many guesses do they want to do Chao Gai? Jerodari stared at the map, his face flashing with disbelief.

Establish a foundation overseas, advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, and be invincible!

"Brother, do you want the seventh battalion to go to sea?" Li Jun pondered and understood.

"Well, although it is not an ocean here, the wind and waves are far beyond the rivers and lakes. You have outstanding ability, strategic vision and decisiveness, do you dare to go to sea? ”

Li Jun looked at the sketch and then at Chao Gai, and responded sonorously: "My brother values me so much, but my younger brother wants to see how big the wind and waves are in the sea." ”

Chao Gai was overjoyed and patted Li Jun on the shoulder: "Okay, where there is a will, there is a way, and the brother will definitely succeed." The main thing for you to take the lead to this giant island is to find out the route and return as soon as you get there. Don't act rashly, Hu Cheng who has gone out to sea will be a guide with you. ”

"Yes, little brother understands!" Li Jun nodded heavily, excitement on his dark face. I've never been to sea before, and I finally have the opportunity to sail away. He also understood that the voyage was just an appetizer, or rather a training.

"Okay, you have time to lead Tong Wei and Brother Tong Meng to come to me these days. I will talk to you in detail about the path, which is related to the future development of our army. ”

Li Jun nodded, and then smiled: "Brother, brothers are waiting!" ”

"Excuse me!" Chao Gai hurriedly waved his hand, covered his head and complained: "I drank a little too much, I have to prepare another class, you go back to eat the bar first!" ”

"Hey, hey, brother, sister-in-law, little brother retires!" Li Jun squeezed his eyebrows at Chao Gai, and saluted Li Qingwan and the other women, and then turned around and went down the mountain.

"Damn, Lao Tzu's reputation has spread!"

Chao Gai turned around with a wry smile on his face, looking at Li Qingwan, Master Li, Hu Sanniang, and Yelu Tali, one is mature and charming, one is detached like a fairy, one is fierce and cold, and the other is graceful but sacred, each with its own merits. Against the backdrop of the remnant sun, the women became more beautiful.

"Heavenly King, so majestic!" Li Qingwan's mouth was crooked.

Master Li, Hu Sanniang, Yelu Dali either rolled his eyes or pursed his mouth, with different expressions, and his expression was unhappy, obviously he had learned badly!

"Look at you, everyone's ladies are so improper, and they bring others badly!" Chao Gai looked at Li Qingwan with a headache, and then brushed his sleeves away.

"Ah, this guy is playing a big card again, beating him!" Li Qingwan was furious, her little feet ran fast, and she caught up and jumped on the man's back.

Master Li, Hu Sanniang, and the three daughters of Yelu Tali followed with a smile.

Chao Gai wanted to say hello to his brother, but he had another drink. It was not until more than half an hour later that he accompanied his wife back to Chaojiazhuang.

It's getting late! Hu Sanniang, Yelu Tali was directly rejected this time, and the two girls listened to the familiar beautiful voice, and a green light flashed in their eyes.

Time flies, and the next day is in a blink of an eye!

Chao Gai's face was full of red light, and he walked out of the door refreshed, but he didn't wait to get out of the yard. At this time, Hu Sanniang and Yelu Tali walked out of the ear room holding hands, but the two women were not in good condition and were slightly haggard.

I don't know how, both of them have been like this lately!

"Hello!" Chao Gai said hello to the two girls from a distance, and saw that they were sleepy, as if they were still wearing dark circles under their eyes, and leaned over with a concerned face: "You two didn't sleep well last night?" It's not too late to go to the barracks. ”

"Hmph, I thought so! Someone keeps yelling, how can they sleep? Hu Sanniang's face turned red, and then her willow eyebrows rose up, and she glared at Chao Gai fiercely.

Yelu Tari's face was not very good-looking, and he echoed beside him: "It's just that we didn't sleep well at night, so we could only doze off in the barracks." ”

"Pay attention to your body!" Hu Sanniang's vicious expression suddenly softened again.

Chao Gai was stunned for a moment, but when he noticed the resentful eyes of the two women, he woke up, and his face was full of embarrassment. Forget that it was in the ancient house that the sound insulation was very poor. The two eldest girls who have not yet come out of the cabinet have listened to the love of men and women for several days.

Hey, it's a mistake, it's really embarrassing for the two of you!

The more Chao Gai thought about it, the more embarrassed he felt, and he was about to say that he would change your room. At this time, Chao Fu, the housekeeper of the house, rushed into the courtyard with his feet like a fly: "Master...... a group of soldiers are clamoring to see you outside." ”
