Wen Huanzhang said: "Master of the village, if we capture this place, we must have a horse and infantry army waiting. In addition, we need money and food. We must at least stock up on food and grass that can feed ten thousand soldiers and horses for a year."

Zhang Zhengdao sighed: "There are so many things!"

When Wen Huanzhang saw this, he smiled and said: "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. If the leader of the village can really win this place, it will be like a dragon entering the sea."

"When the time comes, we will move our people from the Song Dynasty to some places. In less than three years, we will have the foundation to dominate the world." Wen Huanzhang smiled calmly.

Zhang Zhengdao nodded and said: "What the military advisor said is true. If the Zhao Guan family does not lose their moral character, we can also develop some business overseas and create a blessed land for the descendants of our son, Liangshan."

Wen Huanzhang said: "Since the leader of the village has such ambitions, Wen will do his best to assist."

Zhang Zhengdao said seriously: "I want to send two thousand troops to occupy this place in the beginning of spring next March."

Wen Huanzhang pondered for a moment and said, "Half a year is probably enough to prepare."

"Now, although we have a thousand naval troops and two thousand infantry troops in Liangshan, they are all farmers who have just put down their hoes. They have not fought in battle formations. If they encounter a strong enemy, they will be defeated at the first touch.

"Zhang Zhengdao looked solemn and asked: "Why did the military advisor teach me?"

Wen Huanzhang smiled and said: "What's so difficult about this? Since the leader of the village wanted to train his troops, he attacked Yunzhou, where several strongmen in Jeju are entrenched."

"This way, we can train our troops. Secondly, we can also build up our reputation in Liangshan!" Wen Huanzhang said with a smile on his face.

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "The military advisor is really good at planning."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"The village...the village master, leaders Ruan Xiaoqi and Suo Xian have returned to the mountain." A young man outside the door reported breathlessly, then hesitated for a moment, and continued: "Both leaders are injured!"
Zhang Zhengdao and Wen Huanzhang looked at each other, both shocked, fearing that something had happened.

Zhang Zhengdao stood up and opened the door, and saw a little minion standing outside the door.

"Where are the two leaders now and where are they injured?" Zhang Zhengdao asked.

The minions quickly replied: "The two leaders have arrived at Golden Beach. I heard that the injuries were not critical."

Zhang Zhengdao's face was as sinking as water, and he said to Wen Huanzhang: "The military advisor will come with me to greet you."

"Fortress leader, please!" Wen Huanzhang followed Zhang Zhengdao and quickly walked out of the third checkpoint.

At the second level, they met Ruan Xiaoqi and Suo Xian, who were being supported by minions.

"Brother Village Leader, Xiao Qi has embarrassed the village!" Ruan Xiaoqi saw Zhang Zhengdao, pushed away the man who was supporting him, limped forward, bowed to the end, and fell to the ground.

Suo Xian also pushed away the minions beside him, stepped forward quickly, and lamented with guilt on his face: "I can't help my brother, those fifty good horses were robbed."

Zhang Zhengdao frowned when he heard this, but did not ask about the horse. He just looked at the two of them up and down and asked: "How is the injury?"

Suo Xian replied: "Brother Qi was shot in the thigh, and the wound was not deep."

"My little brother received a stab wound on his calf and arm. He is no longer seriously injured." Suo Xian gritted his teeth and said, "It's just that there were five brothers who couldn't bear the pain along the way and lost their lives."

Zhang Zhengdao saw that the two of them looked sad and angry and were in a low mood, so he said: "This is not the place to talk. Go to the Juyi Hall and talk carefully."

At the moment, Zhang Zhengdao ordered his subordinates to help the two of them back to the Juyi Hall.

At this moment, the banquet is still going on and the atmosphere is warm.

But when they saw Ruan Xiaoqi and Suo Xian limping in, these honest men knew that something terrible had happened, so they put down their wine bowls and gradually became quiet.

Ruan Xiaoer felt sorry for his brother and asked: "Xiao Qi, what happened? Didn't you go to Cangzhou to get the horse? How did you end up like this?"

Ruan Xiaoqi smiled bitterly and said: "Second brother, I'm fine, I just embarrassed the village."

Zhang Zhengdao ordered: "First, give brothers Ruan Xiaoqi and Suo Xian a bowl of wine to eat."

Ruan Xiaowu and Ling Guang each carried a wine jar, took two large bowls, filled them with wine, and handed them to them.

After finishing his drink, Ruan Xiaoqi wiped his lips, looked around at the people in the Juyi Hall, and said angrily: "I, Ruan Xiaoqi, will not be a human being unless I take revenge for this."

"Xiao Qi, what happened?" Ruan Xiaoer asked urgently.

Ruan Xiaoqi threw the bowl on the table, and the bowl split into two pieces and shattered.

"Brother Suo Xian and I, together with twenty brothers, arrived at the official residence of Chai Daguan in Cangzhou. We were warmly entertained by him and stayed there for two days." Ruan Xiaoqi said slowly: "On the third day, my younger brother will stay.

When he could no longer go down, he said goodbye to Chai Daguan, took the fifty good horses, and hurried back to Liangshan."

"Only when we arrived at the border of Lingzhou, a group of people came out and claimed that we were horse thieves. They injured Brother Suo Xian and me, robbed the fifty good horses, and drove away." Ruan Xiaoqi said.

Here, I just felt aggrieved and slapped the table to vent my anger.

"Do you know where the thieves are from?" Wen Huanzhang asked, stroking his beard.

Suo Xian saw that the person asking the question was actually sitting next to the village leader. Perhaps he was a confidant leader who was new to the mountain. He did not dare to neglect and quickly replied: "My younger brother then sent a few brothers who were smart and smart to follow him.

When we arrived at the place where that group of people settled, in the southwest of Lingzhou, I heard someone said it was a market town called Zengtou City."

"The leaders of the people who took away the horses from my village were one named Zeng Kui and the other Zeng Sheng. These two men were young but their skills were outstanding. Brother Xiaoqi and I were defeated and suffered from their swords and guns.

." Suo Xian told the news one by one.

Ruan Xiaoqi added: "It is said that there are two to three thousand farmers in Zengtou City and five or six thousand troops. There is a leading family called Zeng Family Mansion. The head of the family is named Elder Zeng. There are five The son is known as the five tigers of the Zeng family."

"The eldest son is called Zeng Tu. He is good at using a steel-pointing spear and has great skills!" Suo Xian continued to introduce: "The second son is called Zeng Mi. He is accustomed to using a wild goose feather sword."

"The third child is called Zeng Suo, and he is good at using a three-pronged fork that holds the sky."

"The fourth child is called Zeng Kui. He is good at pointing steel spears. Brother Xiao Qi was shot by this man." Suo Xian smiled bitterly and continued: "The fifth child is called Zeng Sheng. He is good at using two flying knives. Although it is He is young, but he is also very capable, but the younger brother is no match and received two blows from him."

After hearing this, Ruan Xiaowu slapped the table and said angrily: "This is too much bullying. Not only did you steal my Liangshan horse, but you also injured my brother."

"Brother, village leader, this revenge must be avenged!" Ruan Xiaowu shouted.

Ling Guang and Song Wan also shouted loudly: "Brother, I would like to take the lead and go down the mountain to capture and kill those five Zeng family tigers one by one."

"Yes, brother, my reputation in Liangshan is not obvious, but a small village dares to come here to tease me, how brave it is!" Wen Zhongrong and other new leaders who came to the mountain also asked for help, willing to go down the mountain to take revenge on Zengtou City. .

Zhang Zhengdao, however, was in a heavy heart. He exchanged a look with Wen Huanzhang, who also had a calm expression. He just waved his hand to stop the leaders' calls for battle and said: "Zengtou City took fifty good horses from Liangshan and killed and wounded my village. Brother, this revenge must be avenged."

"It's just that we still need to carefully discuss how to win this Zengtou market. Leaders, please don't be impatient!" Wen Huanzhang spoke up and said these words for Zhang Zhengdao.

Zhang Zhengdao said in a deep voice: "What the military advisor said is true. This matter will be discussed later. Let's help brothers Xiao Qi and Suo Xian to go back to the house to rest, and let the doctor in the village give them a good treatment."

"Today's banquet should be dismissed first. Early tomorrow morning, everyone will come to the Juyi Hall and obey the instructions." Zhang Zhengdao motioned for everyone to disperse first.

Wang Lun was responsible for arranging accommodation and other matters for the newly joined leaders. He immediately got up and asked Wen Zhongrong, Cui Ye, Ni Gong and Li Kui to follow him to the back mountain and choose a courtyard house to settle down.

In such a large gathering hall, in a blink of an eye, only Zhang Zhengdao and Wen Huanzhang were left, as well as the little guys picking up the leftovers.

"Military advisor, why don't you come to my courtyard to talk." Zhang Zhengdao invited him.

Wen Huanzhang smiled and said: "I have long heard that the village owner's house is the most beautiful place in Liangshan. You can enjoy the scenery of eight hundred miles of water. Wen has been interested in it for a long time. Village owner, please."< /p>

The two of them left the Juyi Hall, crossed the square, and walked slowly along the mountain road toward the lake-view room.

This mountain road has already been paved with bluestone slabs by Song Wan with the men built in the village, making it passable even on rainy days.

The bluestone path and the shade of trees are quite unique and elegant!
