Chapter 249: Don't mess around

Not only Chu Luxu received new weapons, but Wuluo, Meng Song, and Yuan Tiangang also received new weapons made in the military workshop.

The first thing the four brigade commanders asked by Xu Forging was surprisingly unanimous, that is, whether they could get a new weapon for the soldiers under their command, which made Xu Tuo cry and laugh, and he was even more anxious in his heart.

Xu Forging hurriedly found Wang Rong and said helplessly: "Master Hou, these four brigade commanders are crazy, when they receive new weapons, the first thing they ask is whether they can equip their soldiers with new weapons."

Wang Rong asked with a smile on his face, "Oh, it seems that Master Xu must have refused."

Xu Tuan nodded and said, "Of course, this kind of weapon, not to mention the difficulty of manufacturing, these brigade commanders are all strong and strong, and their martial arts are far beyond ordinary soldiers, so only they can use the weapons. Even if they came out early, those soldiers couldn't move."

Wang Rong nodded and said, "Master Xu, let's see if the weapons used by these brigade commanders can be remanufactured and mass-produced, so that ordinary soldiers can use them while ensuring the quality of the weapons."

Xu Forging listened to Wang Rong's words, his face was bitter, and he had to say helplessly: "Xiaguan knows, Xiaguan will definitely mobilize the craftsmen of the Craftsman Academy to continue to work hard, and strive to raise my and state ordnance to a higher level as soon as possible."

Wang Rong listened, nodded, stretched out his hand to sort out the robe on Xu Duan's body, patted him on the shoulder, and then turned around and went to the Chinese army tent in the Longshan camp.

At this time, the main generals of the central army of the state army were already waiting in the tent, and when they saw Wang Rong, they all got up and saluted.

Wang Rong waved his hand and said with a smile, "They are all old acquaintances, and there are so many courtesies, let's sit down."

Wang Rong came to the main seat and sat down, and then looked at the people in the tent, from left to right, they were Yuan Tiangang, Wu Luo, Meng Song, Chu Luxu, Huang Fujian, Li Sujie, Zhang Genghuang and Zhang Yunshu.

Wang Rong said with a serious face: "Now the situation in Guanzhong has changed greatly, and the second prince is surrounded by the eldest prince and the third prince in Jixian County to shoot the tiger valley. Once the second prince is eliminated, then Guanzhong will be the world of the eldest prince and the third prince, which is not a good thing for me to merge the state."

Li Sujie asked curiously, "Zhong Ming, what are you going to do?" Wouldn't you still want to help the second prince get out of trouble? We just fought a battle with the second prince, and we annihilated his Hedong defenders in one fell swoop."

Wang Rong looked at him with a smile and asked, "So what? Do you know that when the second prince is eliminated, what we will face is an almost complete Dayong, which will have well-equipped, high-quality war horses and Xiliang iron cavalry, as well as Bashu infantry who can trek through the mountains and walk on flat ground. That's just too much pressure on the state."

Li Sujie was silent when he heard this, they have all experienced the unification and division of Dayong, and they all know how terrible a unified Dayong is.

The Guanzhong Plain is fertile for thousands of miles, the eight rivers surround the Xushan, the water source is sufficient, and it is a rich place for grain production.

The Bashu Plain, the country of abundance, has become a more abundant production area than the Guanzhong Plain since Li Bing built the weir.

In addition to these two places, there is also the plain on both sides of the great river in the territory of Sofang County and Yiqu County. It is blocked by mountains on the west and north sides, which are well protected from the wind and sand blowing from the north and west. The river has abundant water and can provide sufficient water sources, making it a grain producing area no less than Guanzhong.

Once the eldest prince and the third prince unified Guanzhong, Liangzhou and Bashu to the west of Bingzhou, they mastered three important grain-producing areas. In this era, with sufficient food, there will be more population, with more population, there will be sufficient soldiers, food and army, Dayong will rise again, and the threat to the state will be very great.

Zhang Gengxiao also raised his doubts, he looked at the map and said, "Master Hou, this time we only dispatched more than 20,000 Chinese troops, and the city of Xushan is high and deep, and it is very strong, you also know this. I don't think we'll be able to take the city."

Wang Rong shook his head and said, "The purpose of my entry into Guanzhong is not to capture Yuzhong. It's about letting the eldest prince, the second prince, and the third prince lose both, oh no, it's all three lost."

Huang Fujian listened to Wang Rong's words, and was shocked in his heart

Already, he hurriedly said, "Master Hou, you were in the main hall of the Hou Mansion at the time, but you didn't say that."

Wang Rong pretended to be stunned and said, "Eh, Mr. Huangfu, what did I say at the time? I didn't say I was going to attack the Young. I just said that I led the Chinese army into Guanzhong, and I didn't say what I was doing."

Huang Fujian was laughed at angrily, he stretched out his finger and pointed at Wang Rong, and scolded with a smile: "You kid ......

Wang Rong stood up, his face was grim, and he ordered: "Now, gather the army, we will set out tonight, and we will go out by day, and our actions will be concealed from everyone."

Wu Luo, Yuan Tiangang, Chu Luxu and Meng Song all got up and gave a military salute and said, "Wow!"

Wang Rong then said to Huangfu Jian and Zhang Yunshu, "Mr. Huangfu, Brother Zhang, Zhang, Zhangcheng will ask you."

Zhang Yunshu is now the lieutenant of Fenchuan County, Huang Fujian is also the Fenchuan County Guard, and there are 5,000 Fenchuan County soldiers in Zhanghua City.

Besides, the road from Fenchuan County to Jizhou was controlled by Wang Rong's Bingzhou army, and there was little threat from the east. The counties in the north and the counties in the south are stationed with divisions of the state army, and security can be fully guaranteed.

On the night of the same day, the four brigades of the Bingzhou Army and the guard battalion, a total of more than 20,000 people, left the Longshan camp, secretly crossed the Guji Mountain, crossed the Wenshui, and came to the outside of Lishi City.

Zhang Songqi, dressed in brown clothes, stood on a high slope, tapping his arm with his hand from time to time.

Wang Rong stood respectfully behind him, dressed in a black robe and iron boots, the cloak behind him fluttering in the wind.

Zhang Songqi glanced back at Wang Rong, and said helplessly: "Boy, you can really toss my old bones, I knew that you were going to march at night, so I wouldn't follow this fun."

Wang Rong smiled and said, "Uncle Zhang is not old at all, even if he is old, he is old and strong, and he should be strong when he is old."

Zhang Songqi waved his hand and scolded with a smile: "You slippery head, don't say something so nice. I'm in Lishi City, so you can go with your army."

Wang Rong listened to Zhang Songqi's words and said, "Uncle Zhang, there is something I plan to discuss with you."

Zhang Songqi looked clear and said, "You plan to let Calamus stay in Lishi?"

Wang Rong nodded and said, "The Military Medical Department is now very large, Ah Pu doesn't need to follow me in danger anymore, leave Lishisai, cross the river, and enter the Guanzhong realm, this trip is really too dangerous. I don't want Ah Pu to be in danger, and that will make me feel uneasy."

Zhang Songqi nodded, he really didn't want his daughter to be in danger, he very much hoped to keep his daughter by his side.

But this matter is obviously not for the two men to have the final say, only to hear a coquettish voice sound: "No!"

The two turned around and saw Zhang Pu walking up with the medicine box on their backs, only to see her look unhappy, and walked to Zhang Songqi with the medicine box on her back.

Zhang Songqi was stared at by his daughter, and asked unnaturally, "What are you going to do?" I can tell you, I'm your father, don't mess around."

Zhang Pu looked at his father's appearance, snorted and laughed, and said coquettishly, "Dad, what nonsense are you talking about."

As she spoke, she put down the medicine box, took out the medicine for bruises, and complained while healing her father's wounds: "Dad, you are such an old person, and you are still riding a horse at night like a young man. Zhong Ming has already prepared a carriage for you, and you won't sit on it. Look at this wound on your body, all the healing medicine I brought with you has been used on you."

Zhang Songqi quipped, "Oh, the healing medicine is all used on me, and I can't use it on Zhong Ming, right?"

Zhang Pu looked shy, and scolded angrily, "Dad, why are you so unserious."

"Poof—"

The father and daughter looked up at the source of the sound, and Zhang Pu said with an unhappy face, "Zhong Ming, are you still embarrassed to laugh? Why did you choose to march at night? Look at my father's injury, it's all your fault."

Wang Rong raised his hands and feet, oh no, his hands, and made a surrender gesture, begging for mercy, "Ah, yes, yes, it's my fault."

Zhang Pu continued unforgivingly, "Also, you two, you actually plan to let me stay in Lishi City, what can I do if I stay here? There are no sick people, no wounded soldiers, and I can't do anything here. I don't want to stay in Lishi."

Zhang Songqi said helplessly, "It's over, it's over. My daughter is older, and I can't keep it. Hiss—"

Zhang Songqi grinned in pain: "Tap, tap."

Zhang Pu finished wiping the medicine, glanced at the two of them angrily, and said categorically, "I don't want to stay in Lishi City, I must follow the army into Guanzhong."

Zhang Songqi looked at Wang Rong and shrugged his shoulders, saying that there was nothing he could do.

Wang Rong felt even more headache, he had to let go of this matter, and said to Zhang Songqi: "Uncle Zhang, this time the army enters Guanzhong, I will plan to move the Wang clan to Zhanghua City, at least my father and mother will also move over, and the first stop out of Guanzhong is Lishi City."

Zhang Songqi nodded and said, "Okay, I know, I'm going to enter Lishi City, and the guards you sent are enough to protect my safety."

On the night of their arrival at Lishicheng, the central army of the state army left the temporary camping camp outside Lishicheng and headed west. The overpass outside Lin County is a quick way to cross the river. Then I came to Qiaomen County along the Zouma River.

Qiaomen County, as the name suggests, is the gateway county of Zoumashui, this county town has a small wall and a low wall, and there are not many garrisons. Wang Rong's army did not enter the bridge gate, but took advantage of the night to make a detour and go south to Gaonu.
