…

When Wang Lun brought a group of Liangshan heroes to greet him, Jiang Hongfei found that it had only been separated for less than a month, and Wang Lun was obviously much haggard.

Therefore, after introducing Du Bai, Xiao Jiasui and other new heroes who joined Shuibo Liangshan to Wang Lun and other original Liangshan heroes, Jiang Hongfei casually asked: "Why is the second child so haggard?" ”

Wang Lunxin said: "It's not a matter of teaching and harming, but he said, 'Wangliang Shanbo leads the victims, so as to recruit people for Liuqiu', and gave Zhu Gui an order to spread the word 'saying that as long as you can escape to Liangshanbo, Jeju Prefecture, Shandong, there will be many soup kitchens under the cloth of the gods and Buddhas and the great sage Jiang Yan, and you will be able to manage enough', and he raised his legs and left, and there was no news, as a result, in less than a month, two million victims came!" ”

"So many disaster victims, eating, drinking, and Lazar, all have to be managed by me, and I have to follow the instructions of Kai, I can't teach them to be idle, I need to arrange work for relief, and there are many tasks such as public security, settlement, settlement, immigration, etc., and I also have to prepare all kinds of materials for Liuqiu, the key is disaster relief, so many disaster victims, thousands of stones of food are consumed every day, and the food in the granary is declining rapidly at a rate visible to the naked eye, I don't count on providing it, in case the food is gone, these victims must riot."

"We can't have problems with our original work, and I and all the civil servants under me haven't closed our eyes for several days, can we not be haggard?"

But Wang Lun couldn't tell Jiang Hongfei about these difficulties.

What do you say?

Having said that, doesn't that make it seem that he Wang Lun is incompetent?

If Jiang Hongfei has to worry about these trivial things personally, then what else do you want him Wang Lun to do?

Wang Lun called Jiang Hongfei aside and only said one thing that he couldn't solve: "Brother, there is not enough food." ”

"Inadequate? Consumed so quickly? Jiang Hongfei was surprised.

"There are so many people in the disaster that we have to keep asking for food to be transported to Liu, and to prepare rations for those who go to open up the wasteland." Wang Lun said.

"The younger brother has already collected grain in the territory, the villagers are grateful for the kindness of the elder brother, and the ideological work of the Zhang Shi brothers has done a good job, and the villagers have sold their grain reserves, and some even don't want to donate food with spiritual money, but even so, it is still a drop in the bucket, if you don't want to do it, the food will bottom out at the end of the month." Wang Lun said again.

Jiang Hongfei knew that Wang Lun would definitely not trouble himself for trivial matters, he said that if there was a shortage of food, then this would definitely be what he was most worried about and could not solve.

Jiang Hongfei didn't promise anything, but just instructed Wang Lun: "You can't ask for the villagers' food in vain." ”

"Little brother knows." Wang Lun responded.

"Brother Xiao Jiasui has recruited a lot of talents this time, you take them, teach them to share your sorrows, and when the disaster passes, I will teach Brother Xiao Jiasui to go to Qingzhou." Jiang Hongfei said.

Wang Lun understood that Jiang Hongfei was telling him that Xiao Jiasui would not threaten his status and reassure him.

To be honest, Jiang Hongfei really gave Wang Lun a reassurance.

Xiao Jiasui brought hundreds of talents as soon as he came, and many of them are rushing here.

The key is that Xiao Jiasui can be literate and martial, and his ability must be above Wang Lun.

Moreover, Wang Lun knew very well in his heart that the reason why Jiang Hongfei used him as the second child was because he did not threaten Jiang Hongfei at all.

But the problem is that Xiao Jiasui is a hermit who has no heart for fame and fortune, and is safer than him.

So Wang Lun was really afraid that Jiang Hongfei would replace him with Xiao Jiasui.

- This is actually Wang Lun's biggest problem, he is jealous of his ability after all, it is difficult for him to become a big weapon, of course, the good thing is that he is also difficult to become a threat.

And the reason why Jiang Hongfei connived at Wang Lun,

First of all, because Wang Lun has been in power in Shuibo Liangshan for a long time, Xiao Jiasui has just arrived, and it is reasonable, under the condition that Wang Lun did not make a mistake, Jiang Hongfei could not replace Wang Lun with Xiao Jiasui.

What's more, Shuibo Liangshan's current volume is still small, and with Wang Lun's ability, it will definitely be able to cover it, and replacing Wang Lun with Xiao Jiasui may not be better than Wang Lun.

The key is that Wang Lun has both merit and hard work, and he has not yet committed the intention of rebellion, so Jiang Hongfei has no need to move Wang Lun.

Let's put it this way, as long as Wang Lun's talent has always supported him in overseeing the government affairs of Shuibo Liangshan, and Wang Lun does not have any thoughts that he shouldn't have, Jiang Hongfei will always use Wang Lun to overlook the government affairs of Shuibo Liangshan, until one day, Wang Lun's talent is not enough to be qualified for this position, and Jiang Hongfei will consider changing to someone else.

Jiang Hongfei believes that this is what Wang Lun, who has been sparing no effort to develop and expand Shuibo Liangshan, deserves.

But then again, once one day Wang Lun's talent can't support the position of overseeing all the government affairs in Shuibo Liangshan, then Jiang Hongfei must find someone who can do this important job, at least to share Wang Lun's work.

In such a major matter of right and wrong, Jiang Hongfei will never act rashly.

It is estimated that Wang Lun has also figured out Jiang Hongfei's thoughts, so he has been proving that he can do it, and he doesn't need Jiang Hongfei to arrange others to help him.

In short, this can be regarded as a tacit agreement between Jiang Hongfei and Wang Lun, and it may be the best choice at present.

But in the future, Jiang Hongfei will definitely have to be clothed, and Jiang Hongfei, a talent who can replace Wang Lun or share Wang Lun's worries at any time, must also start cultivating.

This is also one of the reasons why Jiang Hongfei personally went to recruit Xiao Jiasui.

Of course, Xiao Jiasui is only one of Jiang Hongfei's choices.

Jiang Hongfei has other candidates in mind, but he has to implement them slowly.

After briefly communicating with Wang Lun about the important events that happened in Shuibo Liangshan after he left, Jiang Hongfei was ready to lead the new and old leaders of Shuibo Liangshan back to the mountain to buy a welcome banquet.

But at this moment, Dai Zong, who had been waiting for Jiang Hongfei for more than ten days, and Shi Yong, who was sent by Chao Gai to urge Dai Zong, hurriedly stepped forward, and then Shi Yong, who had met Jiang Hongfei, said: "The owner of the village, the villain and Dean Dai have been ordered by Chao Tianwang to send a letter to Kai and ask for help. ”

- Shi Yong is the person Jiang Hongfei saw who should not have appeared here.

When Jiang Hongfei heard this, he was surprised: "Oh? Distress? What help? ”

Seeing Jiang Hongfei asking, Dai Zong hurriedly enshrined Chao Gai's handwriting to Jiang Hongfei.

Jiang Hongfei opened Chao Gai's handwritten letter and glanced at the content of the letter.

At the same time, Dai Zong introduced on the side:

"My Fengshan attacked Zhaojia Village, Zou County, Mengyin Region half a month ago, and met the Nine Palace Altar under Shi Gu Gongbu, the Qin Ming brothers, Li Kui brothers, and Hou Jian brothers fell into it, and they have been going around and around, and they can't be exported, and the Qin Ming brothers slaughtered the mount, but they can still hold on, Li Kui brothers and Hou Jian brothers are miserable, they have been hungry for more than half a month, if it weren't for Brother Gongsun Sheng, who cast a spell every three or five times to make a rain, and teach them to catch some rain to satisfy their hunger, I am afraid that they would have died of hunger and thirst, and there are Kong Ming brothers and Mu Chun brothers who were caught by Zhao Xin and don't know whether they are alive or dead."

Shi Yong added indignantly on the side: "Summoning that villain, and not arresting the three of them, I will teach them to go around in the Nine Palaces altar, humiliate my Fengshan, and hope that the owner of the village will send reinforcements as soon as possible, break this village, and lead us to kill Zhaoxin that villain, and avenge my brother in Fengshan." ”

Chao Gai said in the letter that it was Song Jiang who insisted on attacking Zhaojia Village when he saw that there were at least 100,000 stone of grain in Zhaojia Village and that he was the main guard force in the Mengyin area, but as a result, he suffered a big defeat and lost his troops, so he had to take over this mess, and begged Jiang Hongfei to help him again, otherwise he would really not be able to get off this platform.

Chao Gai and his gang are a small flock of sheep that Jiang Hongfei raised by the trend, in order to take them back with interest when they grow into a big flock.

And as long as Chao Gai and Song Jiang are mixed together, Song Jiang will definitely not be able to pee in a pot with Chao Gai, and sooner or later one day he can't help but attack Chao Gai, as long as that day comes, Jiang Hongfei can accept all Chao Gai's inheritance openly and honestly in the name of avenging Chao Gai, and at the same time seize Song Jiang's inheritance.

What if Chao Gai and Song Jiang split up peacefully?

That's no problem.

Jiang Hongfei knows better than anyone that Chao Gai is not suitable to be the boss of a big force, and he is far worse than Song Jiang in this regard.

If there is no Song Jiang, the more Chao Gai grows there, the faster Chao Gai will fall, and then his generals and minions and everything else will have to be his own.

And Song Jiang, who does not have Chao Gai, will definitely embark on the road of becoming an eagle dog of the Zhao and Song courts, so that Jiang Hongfei will have more excuses to eliminate Song Jiang and seize his accumulation.

All in all, Jiang Hongfei ate Chao Gai and Song Jiang.

Therefore, Jiang Hongfei has never been afraid of the development and growth of Naitou Mountain, but he is afraid that Naitou Mountain will not develop and grow.

At this stage, Naitoushan is still too thin, there are not many dry goods, and it is not worth Jiang Hongfei's net at all.

Therefore, Jiang Hongfei still has to raise Chao Gai and support Chao Gai, and he can't let Song Jiang knock Chao Gai down now, so he has to wait for the two of them to make some noise about Naitou Mountain, so that Jiang Hongfei can eat a bite.

Besides, there are more than 100,000 stones of grain in Zhaojia Village, if you don't rush anything else, just rush this, and Jiang Hongfei, who is now short of food, has to destroy Zhaojia Village.

In addition, Zhao Xin and Jiang Hongfei have a hatred for taking away their wives, and if they don't pull out the nail of Zhaojia Village, when the official army comes to attack Shuibo Liangshan, Zhao Xin is likely to raise troops together to attack Shuibo Liangshan.

Based on these, after Jiang Hongfei put down Chao Gai's letter, he said to Wang Lun: "Chao Tianwang is in a hurry, I will personally take someone to go there, and the second brother will set up a banquet on my behalf to welcome Du Yan and Xiao Jiasui, and when I come back, I will make up a welcome feast for them." ”

Without waiting for Wang Lun to agree, Du Bai, who was eager to make meritorious contributions, said: "What's the urgency of eating and drinking, I will accompany my brother to go around, take down the Zhaojia Village, and come back to eat and drink happily, it is not too late." ”

Jiang Hongfei didn't say anything polite to Du Yan, and said bluntly: "Okay, then you will go with me." ”

Jiang Hongfei ordered Luan Tingyu and Shi Bao to take their respective men and horses to go with him, and arranged for Yan Shude and Yu Cheng to lead the Second and Fifth Infantry Armies with 50,000 people and livestock vehicles, and then went to Zhaojia Village under the leadership of Shi Yong.

After explaining the matter, Jiang Hongfei found an opportunity to say to Gao Liang: "You don't want to go this time." ”

After hearing this, Gao Liang got on the horse directly and said: "Sanniang can capture Zhu Biao alive, and I can also capture Zhao Xin alive!" ”

After saying that, Gao Liang huffed and beat his horse and left first.

Seeing this, Jiang Hongfei shook his head helplessly, and then also turned over and rode on the yellow horse of Zhao Xin and chased after him.

Nothing to say all the way.

It is only said that Jiang Hongfei and his entourage came to Zhaojia Village in the shortest time.

learned from Dai Zong, who was one step ahead, that Jiang Hongfei, the ancestor, had finally come, and Chao Gai hurriedly personally took Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng, Li Ying and others to greet him.

Seeing Jiang Hongfei, Chao Gai said very affectionately: "Brother Xian, my brother has finally given you a look, if you don't come again, Brother Li Kui and Brother Hou Jian will have to starve to death in the Nine Palaces altar, as well as Brother Kong Ming and Brother Mu Chun, I don't know whether to die or live." ”

"I really don't know that my brother came to call the family village, otherwise I won't go to Huaixi." Jiang Hongfei said.

Dai Zong said on the side: "The master of Jiangzhai just came back from Huaixi, and he didn't go up the mountain to drink saliva, so he directly brought people to reinforce my peak mountain. ”

Seeing Jiang Hongfei being so righteous, Chao Gai's chest was hot, and he said more affectionately: "For the sake of my brother's business, the younger brother of the teaching virtuous brother is tired, and when I lay down Zhaojia Village, I will pay a few cups to the virtuous brother for my brother and wash the dust for the virtuous brother." ”

"It's all a small matter, but there's one thing I have to tell my brother about it ahead." Jiang Hongfei said.

"Brother Xian, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Chao Gai said.

"I have recently given porridge to the victims in Liangshan, so there is a shortage of food, so I have to take away the food from this Zhaojia village." Jiang Hongfei said.

Chao Gai said without hesitation: "Eh, what is the virtuous brother talking about, if there is no virtuous brother, this Zhaojia Village will definitely not be able to beat down my peaks and mountains, Zhaojia Village is naturally counted as the virtuous brother, and everything obtained belongs to the virtuous brother, as long as those brothers are the brothers." ”

Jiang Hongfei didn't expect Chao Gai to be really generous, he killed and injured so many people, and he didn't even think about returning blood, he hurriedly excused himself and said: "No need to worry about the land, I just need food." ”

Chao Gai pushed and said: "Brother Xian, is this with Brother Wei? ”

Jiang Hongfei made Chao Gai say that he didn't know how to answer this sentence.

Then, Chao Gai said in his heart: "Don't say that it is a great good thing for a virtuous brother to help the victims, and he must do his best for his brother no matter what." It is only said that if the virtuous brother helps the brother pull out the nail of Zhaojia Village, then in this Mengyin area, the brother can take all the money, and count it, but the brother takes advantage of the virtuous brother. ”

The more he talked, the more he felt that Jiang Hongfei had suffered a big loss, and took the initiative to promise: "In this way, after the virtuous brother lays down Zhaojia Village, he will borrow a few times of grain for his brother to come to the Mengyin area, and then subsidize the virtuous brother with 500,000 stone of grain to help the virtuous brother relieve the victims, how about it?" ”

Listening to Chao Gai's promise, Wu Yong directly twisted his head to the side, speechless.

In this successive years of famine, food is becoming more and more expensive day by day, and there is no soldier when there is food?

But Chao Gai was good, and when he opened his mouth, he promised to give Jiang Hongfei 500,000 stone of grain.

With these 500,000 stone grains, can their strength in Naitoushan be multiplied several times, okay?

Jiang Hongfei didn't expect Chao Gai to be so generous, and then couldn't help but think: "Chao Gai is addicted to being the boss, plus his ability is a little lacking, and there is nothing else, or ...... When that day comes, save his life? ”

Jiang Hongfei excused himself with Chao Gai again, Chao Gai insisted on giving Jiang Hongfei everything in Zhaojia Village, and gave Jiang Hongfei an additional 500,000 stone of grain, and he also took the initiative to say that he took advantage of Jiang Hongfei, and he had to be grateful to Jiang Hongfei.

There was no way, Jiang Hongfei could only accept Chao Gai's arrangement.

After the matter was decided, what was not said was to let the heroes of Liangshan have a full meal, rest for another night, and change the heroes of Liangshan to attack Zhaojia Village the next day......
