Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 173 Four States Layout Tiger Leopard Flying

The banquet ended happily. Lin Chong, Yang Zhi and others were all very drunk, and the young men helped them to rest.

Cao Cao, Wu Yong, and Lu Zhishen found a clean room to chat.

Cao Cao said: "Wu's original calculation was to use Yanggu as the foundation, borrow Shi'er Mountain to hide soldiers, communicate with Liangshan, save money and grain, and polish soldiers, so as to wait for the world to change. Later, Brother Meng pointed out that the way can be taken as the four states. Ji, Wu didn't want to make a big move too early, otherwise the Song Dynasty would attack and consume each other, which would only benefit Jinliao. But after listening to the Jianghu, Fangla in Jiangnan, Tianhu in Hebei, and Wang Qing in Huaixi, each There is something uneasy; secondly, the senior brother is willing to stand out, and my family Erlang is also a general, so I can play a fool for a while by singing red and white faces. If the imperial army moves, and Liangshan disturbs the rear, it is not a big worry. "

Speaking of this, Lu Zhi frowned deeply, listened seriously, smiled and said: "This time, I went to Bianjing to move Zongze away. First, I happened to be on the line of Gao Qiu, and second, I met Song Song. The skills and methods of the monarchs and ministers feel that they have been highly valued before. It is better to use these few confessions to teach the brothers to go to the four states to be generals, and then to be able to fight. Slowly fill the four states with officers and soldiers. In a few months, the four states can be engulfed. The officials who are useful have won over him, and those who are useless, the senior brother and the family general of the legacy of the Great Yan Kingdom, the lord was murdered by the Song Emperor, and killed several of his officials to avenge him , shouldn't it be smooth?"

Hearing this, Lu Zhishen couldn't help laughing and said: "He is colluding with officials and bandits. You are obviously colluding with officials and bandits, but in fact it is collusion with bandits!"

Cao Cao clapped his hands and said: "Brother, let's think about it, you Erlongshan and Liangshan are doing justice for the heavens and avenging the Murong family, and killing those bad and bad households of the fish and meat people is a huge sum of money. The civil and military forces of the four prefectures secretly replaced their own people, clearing up officials, eliminating malpractices, exempting bad taxes, and opening up business routes. Being under the rule of the Song State is actually tantamount to becoming a whole of its own, whether it is a collusion between officials and bandits, or bandits, wouldn't it be beautiful?"

Lu Zhi listened deeply and nodded again and again: "If this is the case, it will be worthwhile for the Sa family to play a filial son and grandson for the Murong family!"

The three of them chatted until late at night, and fell asleep to their heart's content.

The next day, they all gathered in the main hall to discuss the general idea, and all the heroes agreed, so Cao Cao issued orders: "Mu Hong will go to Qingzhou to serve as the military and horse superintendent, and let the two brothers Xue Yong and Deng Fei help each other and lead them to the army. Twenty or thirty capable men acted as personal soldiers and took them to the post; Luan Tingyu went to Mizhou to take the post, and asked Ma Lin and Tao Zongwang to help each other, and also took 30 people to take the post; Shi Xiu went to Laizhou, let Ou Peng and Li Zhong will help each other, and bring dozens of people with them."

He put his heart into these assignments, because Xue Yong and Ou Peng are both children of military households and know the rules in the army, while Ma Lin is from a small family background, and he is also familiar with the ways of the government and well-versed in human relationships.

Then he said: "The members of your three teams should bring more money. You don't have to be stingy after taking office. First, you can win over your subordinates, and then send soldiers to gather here one after another. They will all be filled into the army as the backbone. At your beck and call, send a letter to Erlong Mountain, and Senior Brother Lu will take care of it himself. The rest of the civil servants and wealthy households are the same, and those who can spend money to make friends will make friends with them. For those who have succeeded, ask Brother Erlongshan to send them back to the west."

After that, he told these nine people in detail how to win over subordinates, how to make friends with civil servants and wealthy households, and even how to train soldiers.

Turning his head to Song Jiang, he said, "Brother Gongming, there is no need to say more here. These are all skills in your chest! It's just that Sun Li, the governor of Dengzhou, and two hunters called Xie Zhen and Xie Bao are all extraordinary. After you go, you can win them over and praise them carefully, and you must use them for your own use. My two brothers, Li Jun and Zhang Shun, are both dragons in the water. If you go to Dengzhou with you, you have a chance. Find a place for them in the Dengzhou Navy."

Song Jiang clasped his fists and said, "I will definitely not teach my brother to be disappointed."

Li Jun and Zhang Shun were also very happy, Zhang Shun smiled and said: "I have lived on this mountain for a long time, my bones are almost rusted, this time I went to Dengzhou, the sea is boundless, let's see my two abilities."

Cao Cao nodded, and said to the crowd: "If there is any extravagant hero in the states who is inconvenient to be included in the army, you can quietly recommend him to Erlong Mountain!"

After finishing speaking, he said to Lu Zhishen: "Senior brother Lu, you, Yang Zhi, Cao Zheng, and the seven brothers Lin Chong, Hua Rong, Qin Ming, Hu Yanzhuo, Huang Xin, Xiang Chong, and Li Gun are here in Erlong Mountain. Suppress the four states!"

Lu Zhishen said: "The Lin Chong brothers are all fierce generals on horseback. If you want to train the horse army, this place is indeed more suitable than Liangshanbo! Forget it, with their brothers who are like big bugs, the Sa family doesn't have to fill up the number in the horse army. I think Xiang, Li The poker players trained by the two brothers are really extravagant, but they only rely on the power of throwing knives and javelins, but it is disadvantageous if they fight close to each other, and they still lack an invincible infantry, so let me practice for my brother!"

Cao Cao said happily: "Senior brother has such martial arts. He was able to walk on horseback. It's the best!" Tiger, that male tiger is extremely huge, it must be a different species, I got a pair of tiger cubs and kept them in Yanggu's house, they are about half a year old, I brought them back and practiced with the horses, and in the future I will use them in chariots to carry tigers Wouldn't it be wonderful to go into battle!"

Lin Chong and the others were overjoyed when they heard this. Qin Ming laughed and said, "It's natural for horses to be afraid of tigers! The horses here are familiar with the tiger's scent, so they are naturally not afraid. When the time comes, when the tiger roars, the enemy's war horses will soften. If you lose your legs, how can you compete with me?"

Cao Cao nodded. He defeated Hu Yanzhuo before and got a lot of iron armor and vests. Now he uses Lin Chong and Hu Yanzhuo as generals to train an army of iron armor horses. Lin Chong said with a smile: "These horses will not be afraid of tigers in the future, they are real tiger riders. !"

Cao Cao's heart moved, and he said with a smile: "Tiger cavalry is wonderful in the army! Well, since there are tiger cavalry, how can there be no leopard cavalry? Although heavy cavalry are good at charging, they are not durable. Chasing and chasing far, you need light cavalry Help! Brothers Qin Ming and Huang Xin can train a team of cavalry to attack and attack, and they call them leopard cavalry. The lightness and fierceness are the most important. Brothers Hua Rong and Yang Zhi are good at archers, and they can also train A team of horse archers is called Flying Riders! If there is not enough horses, I will write to Officer Chai and Yuanwai Lu and ask them to help me buy good horses from the Northern Kingdom."

Zhou Tong suddenly exclaimed: "Brother, if you want to buy a horse, I know a nearby place, but it is in Zengtou City in Lingzhou. There are more than families there, and the leader of them is the Zengjia Mansion. It is said that it is A Jurchen family specializes in selling and raising horses, so it's much closer than buying Liao horses?"

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, and said: "If this is the case, wouldn't it be good! Brother, you quit your hard work, and bring a few companions, and go there to discuss business!"

Zhou Tongxi said: "Brother don't worry, with my mouth, we will definitely be able to negotiate a price!"

Cao Cao called Xiang Chong and Li Gun again and said, "That day and night against Zongze, you two players were very useful, only one was insufficient."

Xiang Chong and Li Gun looked at each other, clasped their fists together and said, "Brother, please advise!"

Cao Cao said: "Based on your two martial arts skills, you focus on armor, hold barbarian cards, or can run fast. How can those soldiers have such abilities? If you want to block arrows, barbarian cards are enough. An iron armor is a drag for nothing. Footsteps. I think your team of card players should be based on agility and toughness. You can wear leather armor and paper armor and expand the army to a thousand or five. The wild cards can be made larger, with hooks on them, and there is no need to separate the javelin soldiers. , Flying knife soldiers, so that the sergeants have to practice. Before the battle, you must run fast, and face the rain of arrows with your shield on your head. At thirty steps away, first throw the javelin, and within fifteen steps, throw the flying knife again, so that the lethality can be doubled ! After the guns and knives are shot, the top card breaks through the enemy's formation, and the card is hooked to grab the enemy's weapon! Then the heavy armored infantry rushes in. The player retreats behind, and then attacks with javelins and throwing knives!"

The two thought about it for a while, and they both felt it was very good, they nodded together: "I would like to listen to my brother's arrangement!"

Cao Cao said: "Replace the iron armor, and the iron armor that will be built in the future can train a heavy infantry, armed with big swords and heavy axes, and all of them will be commanded by Brother Lu."

Lu Zhi said with a deep smile, "Sajia is exactly what it means."

After the general arrangement was completed, Cao Cao said: "Since this is the case, let's have another day of drinking and drinking. Those who take office tomorrow, and those who are training soldiers, let's get busy."

Just as people were about to host a banquet, a young man came rushing to report: "There is a woman at the foot of the mountain, single-handedly, and she kept saying that Brother Wu Mengde should go out and meet her!"

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Strange! Who is this? Well, since you want to see me, why not let me see you?"

Wu Song stood up and said, "Brother, I'll accompany you."

There are different teachings: tigers and leopards gallop on iron hoofs, and flying troops plow the plow indiscriminately with arrows and rain.The barbarian brand rolled and flew sharply, and the iron armor clanged and the battle axes were all in one.

　I want to say something, but I can't remember it for a while...

　　Today's wood also.
