Although Liangshan City is small, it has all kinds of organs, and there are many kinds of Chaojiazhuang. There are about 80,000 or 90,000 people on the island, and it is also very lively as the New Year approaches. Lanterns were hung up in every household, and materials were distributed according to the person.

The school field set up a stage to sing and dance, the lively street market played tricks, and then the square in front of the Juyi Hall held wrestling competitions, juju, cockfights and other activities. The generous prizes made the applicants enthusiastic and the onlookers gathered together. Compared with the degree of festivity and liveliness, Chaojiazhuang is not inferior.

If it weren't for the cold weather, there would definitely be a dragon boat race.

……

The new heroes wandered around under the leadership of Lin Chong, Xu Ding and others. The reason why he is so polite is because Chao Gai is extremely sure of several people, and it is very likely that he is the chief general of the first army, and it is necessary to have a good relationship.

For example, King Kong Song Wan in the clouds, enthusiastically pulled and went to the back kitchen to be busy. Lin Chong, Xu Ning and others accompanied him to explain the current situation on the island from time to time.

Along the way, Hua Rong and Qin Ming rubbed their eyes a lot, calling it incredible. Unexpectedly, a desert island was not well fed and clothed in Wang Lun's hands. And a year since Chao Gai took over, a mountain city was born.

This is the gap between people.

Qin Ming felt the most profoundly, he was also the chief of soldiers and horses, but he was very different.

"Go your own way and let others say go"

"What the government does is a strongman banditry, but it says that others are bandits" and other big red banners or eye-catching slogans are distributed in vegetable markets and street corners, but the people on the island have long been familiar with them.

The purpose is to warn yourself that you think of yourself as a bandit, then there is really no help.

When I saw the large rows of stables and horses in the horse ranching field in the back mountain, and the military camps everywhere. Qin Ming, Huang Xin's last worries vanished, and he smiled.

That's tens of thousands of good war horses!

Tens of thousands of elite iron cavalry, except for the Western Army, what is there to fear?

Shang Ranwei and Shi Bao also thought of this, so they were very excited. I feel that my choice is not wrong, so that I can apply what I have learned in my life.

Wang Yan has long known about the Iron Lady Army and where she is going.

Li Bao set his eyes on the port battleship, and water warfare was what he was good at.

But without exception, they are in a very good mood and full of energy.

The heroes who defected this time, whether it was Thunderbolt Fire Qin Ming, Xiao Li Guanghuarong, or the spear Shang Ranwei, Sai Lihua Wang Yan, or Zhensanshan Huang Xin, and Nanli General Shi Bao, their identities are all a little sensitive. In addition, Xiaoguan Suo Li Bao has to serve in the navy and has a lot of time in Liangshan.

Therefore, this group of people with their families has a courtyard in the compound.

Today's sun is shining, a group of old men, old ladies are basking in the sun in the martial arts arena. Among them, there are Sanruan's wife, Li Kui's wife, Ma Xun, and Ma Jin's father. Lin Chong's father-in-law's family, Mrs. Xu Ning and others gathered together to chat.

Dressed plainly but can hardly hide her graceful figure, Pan Jinlian, who looks charming, is also among them. Ingenious, he sewed robes and laughed with people.

Several old ladies were amazed and praised his dexterity.

There was also a small episode when Pan Jinlian settled in the family compound.

The woman is diligent and thrifty, and she is diligent and beautiful. can make a few old guys with single sons very happy, such as Li Kui's wife, the Ma family's father, and often came to the door to say hello at the beginning. However, after learning that it was a famous flower, I rested my thoughts again, and I only hated to be late.

For more than a month, Pan Jinlian gradually adapted to life in Liangshan. I think the people on the top of the mountain are very sincere and kind of like it. I accidentally saw Lin Chong and others walking over, and hurriedly reminded the surroundings.

"Bask in the sun! A few old ladies, Ma Daddy ......"

"It's good, the sun is good, and I'm afraid of mold if I don't come out."

"Ouch, there is another fresh face, is the old man of the village owner back?"

Sun An, Lin Chong, Xu Ning and other generals smiled and waved their hands to say hello. The big guy looked down and didn't look up, he was already familiar, and the old people smiled and nodded. Warmly beckoned everyone to come and eat melon seeds, and took out peanuts from the house.

The warm invitation of the elders made Qin Ming, Hua Rong and others who came to the place not dare to slack off, and after learning the identities of these people, they all practiced the etiquette of the juniors.

No doubt, this is a touch for newcomers!

It is in this harmonious atmosphere that you can feel the warmth of home.

Especially for Shang Ranwei, who has been in the cottage for more than half a year, Wang Yan feels where the gap is. It is also a mountain cottage, from Erlong Mountain to Liangshan, under the leadership of Chao Gai, it is as prosperous as a mountain city. Look at them again, Qingfeng Mountain is just a gang of strongmen, and it is difficult to do anything.

Everyone couldn't help but greet each other, so they chatted a few more words.

"Sect Leader Lin, where is the owner of the village?" Pan Jinlian quietly came to Lin Chong's side.

"Mrs. Pan, my brother is in the Juyi Hall."

"Thank you Sect Leader Lin, the slave family will pass."

After Pan Jinlian received a well-informed answer, she saluted with a smile. Then he turned around and returned to his room, changed into decent clothes, and went straight to the Gathering Hall.

Juyi Hall, side hall.

Chao Gai was talking with the two military advisors, and when he learned that he was going to Bianliang City, Zhao Tan, a handful of birds, led a large army to attack Liangshan. The funny thing is to use the same tactics, and the result is naturally a big loss.

The non-commissioned officers of the forbidden army captured by Liangshan had more than 8,000 sailors. Even Liu Menglong, the commander of the command, took the initiative to swim over and surrender, waiting for the meeting arrangement.

Hedong and the north have successively struck out and ceased fighting more than a month ago, and are in a rare stage of recuperation. Each actively prepares grain and grass to prepare for the next year's war,

Chaojiazhuang transported grain to the north and sold equipment and sea salt to Hedong. The war was rich, and the gold and silver were piled up, and herds of cattle, sheep, and horses poured in.

In addition, in addition to Li Junjun, Ruan Xiaoer, and Ruan Xiaowu, the expedition fleet gradually piloted, and it will not be long before they can travel back and forth between Jeju Island and Yangsan alone. After this time, the people of Jeju Island exceeded the 100,000 mark.

In terms of base camps, the transportation of population is gradually reduced.

Overseas base areas are very important, and Zhu Wujin, the master of the Divine Machine, is cautious: "My lord, the Flying Tiger has become a brother and has gained a firm foothold in the Goryeo Kingdom. Transformed into a local powerhouse, buying a large area of fertile land. In addition to purchasing Goryeo slaves for farming, he also requested support from Jeju Island. ”

"How much is there going on between countries? The remnants of the Goryeo Kingdom made waves, and the old and new factions seized power, and one was not good, and they were caught in the whirlpool. Xu Guanzhong looked at the few pieces of information in his hand, and his face was solemn.

Chao Gai attached great importance to this matter, relying on Jeju Island to encroach on Goryeo step by step. So after a while, there was a direction.

"Well, one, Guan Zhong's side has increased its efforts to infiltrate and learn as much as possible about the intelligence. Second, we must vigorously support the use of the purchased land. Sent troops to secretly train Goryeo slaves and maids. ”

"My lord, how many people are sent? Who is the right person to send? ”

"Well, it's better for the generals and officers to be able to speak Goryeo."

"You can consult on this according to the actual situation, and then go back to the New Year's meeting."

The plan to encroach on Goryeo cannot be missed, and the three people in the side hall focused on the discussion. In the end, there is a preliminary goal, but it needs to wait and depend on the situation.

After that, they discussed the arrangements for Qin Ming, Hua Rong and others.

Fortunately, these people were in Erlong Mountain or on the way back, Chao Gai had discussed with them first, and he also had a preliminary plan, which was quickly finalized.

At the reception banquet, Xu Guanzhong announced the appointment!

From understanding the situation to finalizing a few things, half an hour passed quietly. Chao Gai looked at the sky outside the window, and only had a general idea of the situation in the army. There was no time to discuss the perfection of the military system, so he got up and left.

"Lord, the reception banquet is ready, do you want to ......?"

"No, Grandpa Zong is here in Chaojiazhuang, I'm afraid that Wu Junshi won't be able to handle it."

Chao Gai planned to go to the banquet when he arrived in Liangshanzhi, but he changed his mind after learning about the strange old man. Because he guessed who the sixty-year-old man was, most of them were Zong Ze, a famous minister of the Northern Song Dynasty who had been invited by Dengzhou.

The old guy is old and sophisticated, and he sneaks around the city. More than eighty percent are alert, and Chao Gai can only rush back early.

"By the way, my lord, Liu Menglong is looking forward to your return, and he has come to me to find out." Zhu Wu followed Chao Gai and walked out, patted his forehead and said with a smile,

"Don't worry, his family has taken it, what are you afraid of? Liang Shan did not forget him. Chao Gai put on his robe, and his steps were hurried, but he gave a letter of approval. It should have given Liu Menglong a reassuring pill, so as not to be cranky.

When the three of them left the side hall, they happened to see the flowers, and Jerodari was laughing with others. When I turned my eyes, I saw that Pan Jinlian was not applying powder.

"I've seen Uncle." Pan Jinlian's eyes were sharp, and when she saw Chao Gai and the two military advisors coming out, she stepped forward with a smile and performed a standard blessing ceremony.

"Why should you and I be polite? Isn't this an out-of-the-box experience? Chao Gai smiled and nodded at the woman, seeing that the other party was uninvited, he thought of the key after a little thought.

"Brother and sister, is it for Erlang?"

"Yes, as the New Year approaches, Erlang is in prison, and the slave family wants to go and see it and send a robe." Pan Jinlian was slightly sad and bowed her head again and again.

"Alright! I also sent someone to condole, you and Da Lang go over and have a look. Chao Gai thought for a moment, then agreed, and added Wu Dalang.

"Thank you, Uncle." Pan Jinlian was overjoyed.

"My younger siblings need to dress up as men and follow the arrangement." Chao Gai was afraid of an accident, so he told him again. Pan Jinlian didn't say yes, said hello to everyone and turned to leave, looking at the direction obviously to inform Wu Dalang.

Although Wu Dalang is a dwarf, he also has self-esteem and refuses to admit defeat. and his fiancée Uncle He Jiu's daughter entered the cottage canteen to help, was loyal, honest and diligent, and was promoted by Song Wan to be a steward.

Although there is a relationship with Wu Song, Wu Dalang is indeed down-to-earth and willing to work.

Chao Gai looked at the woman's distant back, and his expression was slightly complicated. Because of herself, the slut in the original trajectory became a chaste martyr.

But his expression was misunderstood by Huazi and Yelu. The two women crooked their mouths and slanted eyes: "Yo yo, is this expression reluctant or emotional?" ”

"You... My heart is so tired! Chao Gai looked at the two women with some annoyance. When I opened my mouth, I wanted to be "so stingy", but I didn't say it after all.

After saying goodbye to Xu Guanzhong and Zhu Wu, he led the personal guards down the mountain. Halfway through, this guy sneakily ran back.

Why?

Because this guy has a red face and wandering eyes, he must not have done anything good. No matter how Chao Gai asked the other party to shake his head in the negative, he didn't bother to explore other people's privacy. Lead the team to board the cargo ship and return to Chaojiazhuang from the waterway.
