All the leaders were shocked when they heard that Zhang Zhengdao wanted to conquer Korea within two or three years.

At that time, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty sent more than one million troops, wasted a lot of money, and conquered Goguryeo three times, which depleted the fortune of the Sui Dynasty, but failed to succeed.

During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin and Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi conducted five eastern expeditions, using more than 500,000 troops, which lasted more than 20 years, before they pacified Liaodong in one fell swoop and completely destroyed Goguryeo.

Nowadays, Liangshan only has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, how can it be done?

Zhang Zhengdao saw that everyone was silent, so he laughed and said: "Brothers, conquering Goryeo is not just a dream. It is still early to discuss it at this time. We will wait until Liangshan has 50,000 to 70,000 soldiers before we start this matter."<

Changing the topic, Zhang Zhengdao continued to arrange the positions of Qiao Daoqing, Sun An and Shan Shiqi.

"Master Qiao, why not follow Fang Xuedu and Fan Rui brothers to recruit people for our village and continue to immigrate to Jeju Island." Zhang Zhengdao said with a smile.

Qiao Daoqing nodded in agreement.

"As for brothers Sun An and Shan Shiqi, I'll work hard for you two to make some repairs for two days and then go to Jingnan with me." Zhang Zhengdao decided to go to Jingnan this time, and only took these two extremely powerful warriors with him.

person.

Sun An cupped his fists and said, "I have a life-threatening lawsuit, so I'm afraid I might miss the village leader's important event."

Shan Shiqi also said: "My little brother is also involved in a life-threatening lawsuit."

Zhang Zhengdao thought for a while and said: "This matter is not difficult."

Turning around, he ordered Zhu Guidao: "Fei Ge sent a letter to Brother Zhu Fu, asking him to find the 'Holy Hand Scholar' Xiao Rang and the 'Jade Arm Craftsman' Jin Dajian in Jeju City, and forge ten official certificates in case of emergency.

."

Zhu Gui said: "Brother, let's go and do it now." After saying that, he left the Juyi Hall and went to write a letter to Zhu Fu who was in charge of the city of Jeju.

When Sun An saw that the village master had made arrangements, he raised his hands and said, "I must obey the village master's orders."

Shan Shiqi also said: "I am willing to follow the village leader to Jingnan."

Zhang Zhengdao said with a smile: "On this trip, one is to take the mother-in-law up the mountain, and the other is to recruit some green forest heroes to come to Liangshan to gather together."

Bian Xiang said: "Master of the village, why not bring some soldiers from the Flying Cavalry Army to protect the left and right sides."

Zhang Zhengdao shook his head and said: "It is enough to have three good brothers traveling with us. You, the flying cavalry army, can stay in the stronghold for training without any worries."

Fang Xuedu said with a smile: "Brother Zhu Fu has purchased more than fifty good horses in Jeju City, which can be transferred to the flying cavalry army."

Bian Xiang grinned and said: "Thank you, military advisor."

Zhang Zhengdao nodded and said: "Go to the surrounding countryside and try your best to buy horses. You must first fill up the flying cavalry army."

Fang Xuedu said: "Previously, Leader Wang Lun had sent people to Qingzhou, Yanzhou and other places to buy horses."

Zhang Zhengdao thought: "Send some more people to Zengtou Market to buy horses and inquire about the Zeng family."

Fang Xuedu said: "We have already sent someone."

Ever since Shi Wengong joined Liangshan, there has been no movement in Zengtou City. One of the five tigers of the Zeng family died, and more than 30 dealers and more than 100 good horses were lost. I think they will not let it go.

Shi Wengong said: "The leader of the village, Shi has a good relationship with the assistant teacher Su Dingduo. You can write a letter to persuade him to come to Liangshan."

Zhang Zhengdao was overjoyed and said: "There is a teacher named Lao Shi. If Teacher Su Ding is willing to join Liangshan, he can be given the post of commander of a battalion of cavalry troops."

Shi Wengong said: "With the village leader's words, Shi will definitely be able to persuade Su Ding to come and join us."

There was a shortage of horses in Liangshan, so there was always only one battalion of horse troops. Zhang Zhengdao thought for a moment and then asked: "Teacher History, how many soldiers and horses are there in Zengtou City?"

Shi Wengong was thoughtful and knew that Zhang Zhengdao had the idea of ​​​​raising troops to attack Zengtou City.

After a period of contact, Shi Wengong discovered that the village leader was very disgusted and disgusted with the Jurchen.

Although there was some resistance in his heart, Shi Wengong still replied truthfully: "Zengtou City has three thousand villagers and more than six thousand soldiers and horses. It is also a dangerous place. Without tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, it is really difficult to break through."

Zhang Zhengdao felt relieved and knew that this was not the time to break Zengtou's market.

"In this case, if Zeng Toushi doesn't come to tease him, let's make peace with him first." Zhang Zhengdao then changed the subject and said: "Now, Liangshan has many leaders, but lacks soldiers. Do you brothers have any good suggestions?

”

Bian Xiang shouted first: "Master of the village, why not break down a few more villages?"

This man conquered Lengyan Mountain a few days ago, not to mention the 700 to 800 new minions and tens of thousands of money he gained for the village, as well as the hundreds of fine horses he captured, which had made him happy for a long time.
Fang Xuedu also nodded and said: "Brother Bian Xiang, this plan is feasible."

Fan Rui also said: "Master of the village, there are dozens of large and small cottages in Jeju, Yunzhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Yizhou and other places. If they can all return to our Liangshan Mountains, we can make the cottage soldiers

Horse, breaking through 30,000 in one fell swoop."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Zhang Zhengdao thought for a moment and said: "In that case, Brother Shi Qian immediately selected two hundred good players from the village to form a listening camp to take charge of the secret reporting of the village. After a little training, they dispersed the people."<

/p>

"Inspect all the large and small cottages on Jingdong East Road, Jingdong East Road, and Hebei East Road. If there are any cottages that are willing to surrender, their leaders can promise to take a top position after they come to Liangshan. If there are any who are not willing,

, first find out what is true and false, and then deal with it after I come back from Jingnan." Zhang Zhengdao ordered.

Shi Qian's face was full of joy. Although the 200-person Tingting Camp had fewer manpower, it was still the commander of one battalion. How could he, a thief who used to hang out in Gaotang Prefecture, be as majestic as he is today?<

/p>

"Little brother, obey the order!" Shi Qian clasped his fists and raised his hands, shouting excitedly.

Seeing that everything had been arranged, Zhang Zhengdao laughed and said: "Come here, hold a banquet to welcome the new brothers who have come to the mountain."

Fan Rui stood up and said, "I'll take care of it now."

Ever since Wang Lun took Zheng Tianshou to sea to go to Goryeo, all the banquet matters in the village have fallen on Fang Xuedu, and now it has been transferred to Fan Rui.

Zhang Zhengdao took a look at everyone in the hall and felt that it would be most appropriate to leave this matter to Du Qian. However, this man traveled thousands of miles and recruited many heroes for the village. It is not appropriate to talk about it at this time.

"Let's talk about it in two days!" Zhang Zhengdao thought secretly.

A banquet lasted until late at night and then dispersed.

Zhang Zhengdao drank a lot of wine and got very drunk. He was carried by two minions in a mountain sedan and sent to the courtyard where the owner of the village lived.

Seeing this, Uncle Zhang quickly helped Zhang Zhengdao into the room, called Zheng Aixiang, a maid who was keeping watch at night, and told her to call his wife to wait on him. Then he went back to the front yard alone.

Previously, Zhang Zhengdao handed over Zhang Liu and more than a dozen helpers to Wang Lun and took them out to sea. Uncle Zhang was the only one at home, guarding the front yard all day long.

After receiving the order, Zheng Aixiang first called her younger sister Zheng Aiyue up and said, "I'll call the madam. You can take care of the high official first."

But Zheng Aiyue pulled her sister's sleeves, rolled her eyes, and said with a smile: "Sister, it's so late at night, the ladies may have fallen asleep, so why don't we sisters serve the high officials?"

Before Zheng Aixiang could agree, the girl locked the door.

Just now, two women, Han Jinchuan and Qin Yuzhi, had been waiting in this room for a long time with heavy makeup. Zhang Zhengdao had not come back yet, so they had to return to their room unhappy.

Now, with such a good opportunity, how could Zheng Aiyue miss it?

First, he wiped Zhang Zhengdao's face, then took off his clothes, wiped his stalwart body, and then glanced at Zheng Aixiang, who was still in a daze, and whispered: "Sister, turn out the lights."

Zheng Aixiang blushed, extinguished the candles in the room, groped for the kang, and touched a tender body.

"Sister, you?" Zheng Aixiang said in surprise.

Zheng Aiyue smiled foolishly and said: "Sister, what are you waiting for?"

Zheng Aixiang hesitated for a moment and finally rustled away her clothes.

In the early morning, when the sky was bright and clear, Zhang Zhengdao woke up from alcohol. There were two delicate bodies squeezed in his arms. He didn't think much about it. He thought they were Han Jinchuan and Qin Yuzhi, so he turned over and suppressed one of them.

……

It wasn't until daybreak and the sun shining brightly that Zhang Zhengdao rubbed his back, looked at the beautiful cheeks of the sisters, and sighed: "Call Xue'e later and make me another bowl of tonic soup."

Zheng Aiyue snuggled into Zhang Zhengdao's arms and said in a disgusting voice: "I am an official, I still want you!"
