Chapter 314 Acting for the outside world
Chao Gai led the team to attack Shuibo Liangshan at night, no one knows, but since the sun rises in the east. Overnight, the atmosphere of Chaojiazhuang became a little different.
Big red banners such as "The blood debt of the year must be repaid with blood" and "Actively suppress bandits and protect the homeland" fluttered on the top of high-rise buildings in the city. Lively places in the city, such as wet markets and trading areas, often have promotional slogans.
In the barracks in the city, the slogan of "Anti-Japanese War and Bandits" was loud and earth-shattering! The news that Chaojiazhuang had declared war on Shuibo Liangshan again spread quietly.
Whether it is the guards or the patrol team outside, everyone has bright armor and sharp weapons, and everyone looks solemn and ready for battle. Hordes of cavalry poured out to train around the perimeter, patrolling market towns and villages.
Chaojiazhuang is more prosperous than usual, although the atmosphere of war is strong. But the people who came and went were not afraid at all, and as usual, they carried vegetables or eggs to sell, and their lives were not affected much......
Because they believed that the soldiers and horses under the command of King Chao Tian of Shandong could defend one side. The strongmen of Supo Yangsan attacked many market towns in Jeju many times, but the rich families never succeeded. So far, no real harm has been done to ordinary people.
And that's exactly what happened!
Although Chao Gai's plan to attack Shuibo Liangshan at night failed, it won a big victory. Caught one of the eighteen Taibao of Liangshan who attacked Yunzhou last time, and it seems that he is called Wangwang. When the news spread, the people in the city cheered.
King Chao declared war on Liangshan and won the victory!
Unlike the people cheering for Chao Gai, the two eunuchs running fast are intriguing. Upon hearing the news, he rushed out of the city and saw more than twenty vicious captives, as well as the corpses of those who were in a miserable state.
The two old fritters witnessed it with their own eyes and were amazed by Chao Gai's bravery. This Shandong Chao Tianwang is the foreign aid that their eunuch group found outside the court. It is naturally a good thing to win the banner of suppressing bandits, and he has face in front of the emperor.
But how many are worried, Shuibo Liangshan is vulnerable, and it is really exterminated?
Chao Gai, this elf, how could he not know that the two dead eunuchs came to comfort the soldiers in the name of beauty, but in fact, they had other ideas, not that they were afraid that they would come to the real thing, and they would wipe out Shuibo Liangshan, there was no market for weapons and equipment, and there was no excuse for selling food, so they were so concerned about not being able to make money.
His heart was like a mirror, so his chest was beating loudly: "Hahaha, two Shangguan, Chao Mou wanted to come up with a surprise attack to take off the Shui Bo strongman!" I never thought that I would be recognized by the other party, so I could only retreat to the second. The prince, when he returned to Bianliang City, there were many kind words, and the strongman should not be worried. ”
Everyone is an old friend, and the two eunuchs naturally understand, in addition to inviting merit in disguise, it is to show their determination to some people in the court and are suppressing bandits.
Wang Gechang pinched his orchid fingers and said sharply: "Quack, it's easy to say." General Manager Chao is really the champion of the three armies, sitting in Jeju to protect the territory and the people. A little puddle grass is a disease of ringworm, and he doesn't dare to be presumptuous. ”
Liu Gechang stretched his neck to look at the Jinsha River Wharf, and then praised the stubble: "That is, the puddle and grass have 800 miles of water, but they are just a rabble." How is it the opponent of Mr. Chao? Let's see that the king lost a lot of warships in the first battle, and when the battleships are in place, he will destroy the strongman in one fell swoop. ”
In other words, people who don't know, such as Zhao Wanli, don't know that what the two eunuchs say is good, but the implication is that it is a good thing to cover you bravely, but the puddle grass is too weak, slow down, and slowly exterminate is the king.
"Oh, no, the two officials are right, the bandit is a loss-making business." Chao Gai naturally knew what the two eunuchs meant, and immediately took advantage of the topic to play. His face became ugly, and he cried hard.
In fact, he was just a fool, saying that he had destroyed hundreds of enemies and lost one hundred and eighty on his own side, but in fact, only a few forbidden troops were killed and more than 20 were injured. In the end, only more than 10 broken warships were captured, and more than 10 large and small warships were also put in.
Zhao Wanli, the commander of the soldiers and horses, and the forbidden army were dumbfounded when they heard it, wondering if they had heard it wrong? Only then, something even more incredible happened.
Chao Gai used this as an excuse to brazenly reach out and ask for strategic supplies. Instead of being angry, the two eunuchs laughed happily and said yes again and again. As long as there is an excuse to peddle, it represents a steady stream of money.
The martyr's pension was the first thing Chao Gai put on his lips, saying that he could not forget the meritorious people, which also made many veterans of the forbidden army awe-inspired.
Chao Gai won the battle, Zhiduoxing Wu Yong, and the sick pharmacist Xiao Jiasui led the team to greet them in person, and everyone entered the city with a smile.
From this day on, Chaojiazhuang fought against Liangshan and entered a state of game.
If you say that you want to go to war, then there is no ambiguity!
Chaojiazhuang, a war machine that is beginning to take shape, is running!
First of all, fighting a war is actually about logistical support, and resource reserves are very important. Chaojiazhuang's slogan of saving grain is once again enthusiastic, and people who collect wild vegetables and fish and catch shrimp can be seen everywhere, selling them to the purchasing station for money.
Vegetable markets, trading areas grain, vegetables, gauze and other military supplies increased purchases, so that the rich and caravans saw business opportunities again. Yunseong, the Jeju government also gave strong support when they learned of this news. Officials visited various places and encouraged large households to donate money and food, and did their part.
The two eunuchs also did not sit idly by, one continued to sell grain mixed with various private goods, and the other returned to Bianliang City to report the victory. Presumably, after a while, the deaf and dumb Daojun Tianzi will be rewarded.
This is the advantage of being a good citizen, having a mass base, and doing everything is beneficial. If you throw off your arms early and go up the mountain, you will face a lot of dilemmas. Chaojiazhuang seized this opportunity to have another wave of grain hoarding.
Secondly, for several days in a row, Chaojiazhuang's military horses were frequently transferred.
The infantry flower monk Lu Zhishen first army, the red-faced tiger Yuan Lang's second army defended the city. The Third Army of Bian Xiang of Saizhijie, and the Fourth Army of Scar Tiger and Tiger are ready to participate in the battle. The fourth army of the navy in the waves, Baitiao and Zhang Shun, was also assembled and eager to try......
Even the cavalry who were training and patrolling outside were intent on moving closer to the Jinsha River. In short, this pre-war mobilization alarmed the surrounding prefectures.
If it weren't for Chao Gai's pre-emptive words, the thunder was heavy and the rain was small, and he would attack slowly. The two eunuchs from Bianliang City are estimated to be really good at talking and slowing down.
There is no need to worry about the two court moths, Chao Gai's brain is not funny, and it is impossible to beat himself up. All of this is an illusion for outsiders to see!
……
As the saying goes, those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black.
Wang Lun, a white-clothed showman, handled government affairs in Chaojiazhuang for several months, and often participated in public gatherings. A little bit bold, no longer so narrow-minded.
Immediately about to take office, he secretly went to Liangshan the day before yesterday, followed his brothers for many years to touch the sky Du Qian, and Song Wan of King Kong in the clouds drank and talked until late at night. The next day, he then paid out of his own pocket to set up a banquet in the heavenly and earthly restaurant to entertain Chao Gai, Wu Yong, Su Ding, Shi Xiu and others to express their gratitude.
Yesterday, I drank the practice wine and met with Wang Yuan, the little fat man who said goodbye to Enguan. The two traveled together with more than a dozen companions and took a boat to take office on the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Road. Most of them are elite veterans selected from the Chao family's army. They will become the head of the county and assist the two magistrates in training.
The other Zhao Mingcheng sent his friend away, and while he was melancholy, he was full of expectations. Because Chao Gai is talking, Bianliang City is walking around. Cai Jing was very happy to receive the gift, and it was estimated that he had no time to run.
It is an immutable truth that money can make demons grind!
Of course, the fate of these people has changed because of Chao Gai.
However, the established trajectory is difficult to fathom, and it will always return to a similar node.
Chao Gai was worried that this kind of thing would happen, so he would mobilize troops and horses to prepare. I have never forgotten who I am and those established big events! And this concern is justified, and news comes back one after another.
Shi Wenbin, the new magistrate of Yuncheng County, Jeju, Shandong, came, beat gongs and drums, and many people came to greet him, and he was not oppressed, and it was a voluntary organization.
Because at this time, Wenbin was an upright official and honest in his work. Every heart of compassion is always accompanied by the thought of kindness. Fight for land and land, distinguish between right and wrong, and then implement; Fights and fights, and decisions are made only when they are important. Leisure to play the piano to meet guests, should also be divided into the people's feelings. Although slightly greedy, but one of the parents is an official.
The people heard about it, and naturally they cheered and greeted them.
But it's not a good thing for Chao Gai! The old man of the time handed over to the corrupt official Ren Zhixian and found that the government treasury had money and grain, and the weapons and equipment had shrunk seriously. In addition to being shrewd, there are also three new officials who take office.
Even if he knew that the county had the Jeju Soldiers and Horses Commander Chao Gai in charge of the town, and was leading the army to fight against the strongmen of Shuibo Yangsan, he still did not forget the surrounding villages and towns.
At noon today, the old man ascended to the public seat of the hall, and there were public officials and others lined up on the left and right. Immediately called the lieutenant division to arrest the thief officer, and two patrol heads.
"This official has just arrived, and I heard that Chao Gong, the general manager of the soldiers and horses in Benzhou, is brave and good at fighting, and not long ago he won a victory, defeated the Shui Bo strongman and captured the bandit leader. But the thief is fierce and cunning, and he will not give up after losing the battle. The thieves of Liangshan gathered to rob and resist the enemy's officers and soldiers. I am also afraid that everywhere in the countryside, thieves are rampant, and there are many villains. We can't be careless,"
Before taking office, Shi Wenbin visited various places and learned a lot of information. Even on the day of the dragon boat race, he hid by the river and watched, and he also arrived at Chaojiazhuang. So he didn't know what to be like other corrupt officials, but talked about it eloquently.
"Today, I call you to wait for the two heads, quit the hard work, and I will take the local soldiers and others, one out of the west gate, and the other out of the east gate, and divide them into patrols. If there is a thief, he will be exterminated immediately, and the villagers should not be disturbed. After waiting for Chaojiazhuang, he was given a clear picture of Chao Gong, and the lower officials should come to visit. I know that you and Chao Gong have an old relationship, but if anyone neglects, they will be severely punished. ”
Both of them led the order, each returned, ordered the local soldiers, and went to patrol by themselves. It is good to die or not, it is the infantry who are all winged and the tiger is thundering, and the horsemen are all headed by the beautiful bearded man Zhu Tong, which also kicked off the prelude to the big drama.
The county government held a meeting in the morning, and it was transmitted to Chaojiazhuang in the afternoon!
Shi Wenbin is a talent, and he intends to get closer to Lao Tzu, and most of them want to hug his thighs. After Chao Gai received the flying pigeon's message, he was a little emotional, and the officialdom was grinding.
I also thought of the red-haired ghost Liu Tang who pulled himself into the abyss. Where was he arrested, Lei Heng was caught from the Spirit Return Hall in Dongxi Village. The Lingguan Temple outside Chaojiazhuang is not only locked, but also guarded by the temple.
The most important thing is -
"Damn, Lao Tzu will strike first and completely cut off this possibility!"
