The layout of the four states is like flying tigers and leopards

The banquet ended happily. Lin Chong, Yang Zhi and others were all drunk, and they were helped by the minions to rest.

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

Cao Cao said: "Wu's original plan was to use Yanggu as the foundation, use Shi'er Mountain to hide troops, communicate with Liangshan, save money and grain, and polish soldiers to wait for the world to change. Later, my senior brother told me that the four states can be used as the base.

Ji, Wu did not want to make a big move too early, otherwise the Song Dynasty would attack with all their strength and consume each other, only to benefit the Jin and Liao Dynasties. But after listening to Jianghu Zhongyan, Jiangnan La, Hebei Tianhu, Huaixi Wangqing, each

There is something uneasy. Secondly, my senior brother is willing to come forward, and my second son is a general. We can fool him for a while by playing red and white faces. If the imperial army really moves, and Liangshan disturbs the way back, it is not a big worry.

"

At this point, seeing Lu Zhishen frowning and listening seriously, he smiled and said: "This time I went to Bianjing to move Zongze away. Firstly, I happened to get on Gao Qiu's line by chance. Secondly, I met Song Dynasty."

The ability of the monarch and his ministers seems to have been underestimated before. It is better to use these petitions to teach the brothers to go to the four states to serve as generals, and then use the generals who are able to fight as soldiers, and slowly recruit the officers and soldiers of the four states.

In just a few months, four states can be conquered. The officials who can be used will win over him. The officials who can't be used are senior brothers and generals who are descendants of the Yan Kingdom. The king was killed by the Song Emperor, so he killed several of his ministers to avenge him.

, shouldn’t it be successful?”

When Lu Zhishen heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Officials are colluding with bandits. You are obviously colluding with bandits, but in fact you are colluding with bandits!"

Cao Cao clapped his hands and said: "Senior Brother, just think, you Erlongshan and Liangshan, under the guise of doing justice for heaven and avenging the Murong family, killing all those unscrupulous big businessmen who prey on the common people will be a huge sum of money. I will give them here again."

The civil and military officials of the four states secretly replaced their own people, cleaned up the officials, eliminated malpractices, eliminated evil taxes, opened trade routes, and started doing everything. On the one hand, they won people's hearts, on the other hand, they saved money and food, bribed the ministers with some property, and the rest were used to raise troops.

Being under the rule of the Song Dynasty is actually a self-contained entity, regardless of whether it is a collusion between officials and bandits or a collusion between bandits and bandits, isn't it wonderful?"

Lu Zhishen nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "If you can do this, it will be a worthwhile act for the Murong family to play the role of a filial son and a virtuous grandson!"

The three of them chatted until late at night and fell asleep happily.

The next day, they all gathered in the main hall and explained the general idea. All the heroes agreed. Cao Cao then issued an order: "Mu Hong goes to Qingzhou to be the military commander, and let the two brothers Xue Yong and Deng Fei help.

Twenty or thirty capable men served as personal soldiers and were brought to take office; Luan Tingyu went to Mizhou to take office, and asked two brothers, Ma Lin and Tao Zongwang, to help him, and took twenty or thirty people to take office; Shi Xiu went to Laizhou and let him take office.

Ou Peng and Li Zhong will help and bring dozens of people with them."

He was very careful in making this assignment, because Xue Yong and Ou Peng were both children of military families and knew the rules of the army, while Ma Lin was born in a small family, was also familiar with the ways of the government, and was well-versed in people.

Then he said: "Your three teams must bring more money. Don't be stingy after taking office. First win over your subordinates. Then we will send soldiers here one after another to gather them and serve as the backbone of the army. Who can't wait?"

If you obey, send a letter to Erlong Mountain, and Senior Brother Lu will arrange for it. The rest of the civil servants and wealthy people are also ordinary. Those who can spend money to make friends will make friends with them.

Those who have succeeded will have Brother Erlongshan send them back to the west."

Then he explained to these nine people in detail how to win over subordinates, how to make friends with wealthy civil servants, and even how to train soldiers.

He turned to Song Jiang and said: "Brother Gongming, of course, there is no need to say more. These are all the skills you have in mind! It's just Sun Li, the governor of Dengzhou, and two hunters called Jie Zhen. Those who Jie Bao are all extraordinary.

After you go, you can win over them carefully and promote them, and be sure to use them for your own use. My two brothers, Li Jun and Zhang Shun, are both dragons in the water. I will follow you to Dengzhou. You will have a chance.

Then I will find a place for them in the Dengzhou Navy."

Song Jiang cupped his fists and said, "I will definitely not disappoint my brother."

Li Jun and Zhang Shun were also very happy. Zhang Shun smiled and said: "I have lived in this mountain for a long time, and my bones are rusty. Now I go to Dengzhou, where the sea is boundless. Let's see what I can do."

Cao Cao nodded and said to everyone: "If there are any heroes in the various states who are too extravagant to be included in the army, you can quietly recommend him to Erlong Mountain!"

After saying that, he said to Lu Zhishen: "Senior Brother Lu, you and Yang Zhi, Cao Zheng, and brothers Lin Chong, Hua Rong, Qin Ming, Hu Yanzhuo, Huang Xin, Xiang Chong, and Li Gun are here in Erlong Mountain, which is enough."

Suppress the four states!"

Lu Zhishen said: "Brothers Lin Chong are all powerful generals on horseback. If you want to train the horse army, this place is indeed more suitable than Liangshanbo! Well, with these brothers like big insects, the Sa family doesn't have to fill up the horse army. I think Xiang, Li

The two brothers are really good poker players. They only rely on the power of throwing knives and javelins. If they are close to each other in close combat, but it is disadvantageous and they still lack an invincible infantry, I will train for my brother!"

Cao Cao said happily: "Senior brother is so skilled in martial arts. He can do both horse and foot. This is the best! I have some small quarrels, and we just happened to discuss them together. For example, when I went home with Li Kui to pick up his mother, we killed a couple on the way.

Tiger, the male tiger is extremely huge, it must be some kind of exotic species. I got a pair of tiger cubs and kept them at my house in Yanggu. They are about half a year old. I brought them back and trained them with the war horses. In the future, I will use the chariot to carry the tigers.

Wouldn't it be wonderful to go into battle!"

Lin Chong and 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 smell of tigers, so they are naturally not afraid. When the tiger roars, the enemy's horses will become soft.

If you lose your legs and feet, how can you compete with me?"

Cao Cao nodded. He had obtained a lot of iron armor and horse armor from his previous defeat at Hu Yanzhuo. Now he used Lin Chong and Hu Yanzhuo as generals to train an armored horse army. Lin Chong said with a smile: "These horses will not be afraid of tigers in the future. They are real tiger riders."

!”

Cao Cao was moved in his heart and said with a smile: "Tiger cavalry is a wonderful army! Well, since there are tiger cavalry, how can we not have leopard cavalry? Although heavy cavalry is good at rushing into formations, they cannot fight for a long time. To pursue an attack, light cavalry is needed.

Help! Qin Ming, Huang Xin brothers can train a cavalry to break out of the formation and pursue the enemy, they are called leopard cavalry, with lightness and fierceness as the priority. Hua Rong, Yang Zhi brothers are both good at shooting, they can also train

A team of horse archers is called Feiqi! If there are not enough horses, I will write to Chai Daguan and Lu Yuanwai and ask them to help me purchase good horses from the North."

Zhou Tong suddenly shouted: "If my brother wants to buy a horse, I know a nearby place, but it is in Zengtou City in Lingzhou. There are more than 3,000 families there. The leader of them is the Zeng Family Mansion. I heard that it is

A Jurchen family specializes in selling and raising horses. Isn't it much better than buying horses from the Liao Dynasty?"

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "Wouldn't it be great if the timing were like this! Brother, stop working hard and take a few companions with you to discuss business there!"

Zhou Tong said happily: "Brother, don't worry, with my mouth, I will definitely be able to negotiate the price!"

Cao Cao called Xiang Chong and Li Gong again and said: "In the day and night battle with Zongze, your two card players were very useful. Only one card was missing."

Xiang Chong and Li Gun looked at each other, clasped their fists together and said, "Please give me some advice, brother!"

Cao Cao said: "Given your martial arts skills, heavy armor, and barbarian cards, you may be able to run very fast. How can those soldiers be so capable? If you want to block arrows, the barbarian cards are enough, but wearing iron armor is useless.

Footsteps. I think your team of card players should be agile and tough. You can wear leather armor or paper armor to expand the army to a thousand and five. The barbarian cards can be made larger and have hooks on them. There is no need to separate the javelin soldiers.

, Throwing knife soldiers, all sergeants must practice. When facing battle, you must run fast, hold up your shield and face the rain of arrows. Thirty steps away, throw the javelin first, and within fifteen steps, throw the throwing knife. This way the lethality can be doubled.

! When the spears and knives are fired, use the top card to knock away the enemy's formation, and use the hook on the card to seize the enemy's weapon! Then the heavy armored infantry rushes in. The card players retreat behind, and then attack with javelins and flying knives!"

The two of them thought about it for a while, and both thought it was wonderful. They nodded in unison: "I am willing to listen to my brother's arrangements!"

Cao Cao said: "Replace the iron armor, and the iron armor made in the future, you can train a heavy infantry, holding broad swords and heavy axes, all commanded by Senior Brother Lu."

Lu Zhishen smiled and said, "That's exactly what Sajia means."

After the general arrangement was completed, Cao Cao said: "In that case, let's have another day of drinking. Tomorrow, those who take office and those who train troops, get busy."

Just as they were about to host a banquet, a minion suddenly rushed to report: "There is a woman at the foot of the mountain, working alone, and she keeps asking Brother Wu Mengde to go out and see her!"

Cao Cao laughed and said, "That's weird! Who is this? That's all. If you want to see me, why not let me meet you?"

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

There are different teachings: tigers and leopards galloping on iron hooves, flying armies plowing plows with rain of arrows. Barbarians roll and fly with fierce knives, and iron armor clangs with battle axes.

I wanted to say something, but I couldn't remember it for a while...

Today is a tree.
