Water Margin official

Early the next morning, I bought two strong horses in Qingxi County, brought dry food, filled water bags, and rode away.

"Brother, the leader of the Ming Cult is missing?" Sui Sheng asked.

Zhang Zhengdao shook his head and said: "There is nothing to see. Hurry back to Liangshan and intensify the training of the three armies so that we can capture Goryeo as soon as possible."

Suisheng smiled and said: "I have been waiting for this day for a long time."

Shan Shi asked curiously: "Brother, why are you so anxious all of a sudden?"

Zhang Zhengdao sighed: "Time waits for me."

The three of them rode northward, passing through the state and the capital. After only ten days' journey, they arrived at the border of Jeju.

It’s September now and it’s extremely hot.

Zhang Zhengdao was so eager to hurry that his skin became a little tanned.

When we arrived at the Nanshan Hotel controlled by Liang Shanbo, the place was actually overcrowded.

It turned out that the five thousand people from Jishan and Mulanshan had arrived at Liangshan safe and sound.

Ruan Xiaoqi is leading a naval vessel to transport personnel to Liangshan Dazhai.

Xiao Jiasui dressed in white, bowed respectfully and said: "The leader of the village has lived up to his trust, not one person was missing, and he also recruited three thousand people for the village along the way."

Zhang Zhengdao helped up this handsome man and said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Xiao."

Du Bo interrupted at the side and said: "Zhai Leader, this trip was planned by Mr. Xiao, and we arrived at Liangshan successfully."

From Jinghu to Liangshan, there are many prefectures passing through. If you are not careful, you may be wiped out on the spot.

Yuan Lang also said: "Mr. Xiao is a great talent."

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "Brothers, follow me back to the village, and we will talk in the gathering hall."

When Ruan Xiaoqi saw Zhang Zhengdao going out and recruiting so many heroes and soldiers, he also said happily: "Master of the village, I heard that the military advisor is also in the village."

Zhang Zhengdao asked hurriedly: "When did Mr. Wen come back?"

Ruan Xiaoqi replied: "I just came back a few days ago."

Upon seeing this, Zhang Zhengdao ordered: "Deploy a boat and I will return to the stronghold first."

Ruan Xiaoqi knew that Zhang Zhengdao was anxious to see Huanzhang, so he said: "Brother, please wait a moment, and I will go and make arrangements right now."

After only waiting for a cup of tea, Ruan Xiaoqi dispatched a speedboat to carry Zhang Zhengdao, Wei Sheng, Shan Shiqi, and Xiao Jiasui to Liangshan Dazhai.

Du Bo, Yuan Lang and others still stayed at the Nanshan Hotel, arranging the troops and horses in the two mountains to avoid trouble.

But when Zhang Zhengdao arrived at Jinshatan Beach, he saw Wen Huanzhang and Fang Xuedu waiting quietly.

Everyone got off the boat and had a conversation.

After not seeing each other for several months, Wen Huanzhang had a smile on his face, cupped his fists and said, "I've met the leader of the village."

Zhang Zhengdao supported Wen Huanzhang and said: "Sir, you have conquered Jeju Island for me, and you should be the first to do so. Let's go to the Juyi Hall to speak."

Everyone hugged Zhang Zhengdao, passed the three checkpoints in Liangshan, and arrived at the Juyi Hall, where they sat down one after another.

Zhang Zhengdao couldn't wait to ask: "Military advisor, how is the island?"

Wen Huanzhang smiled and said: "If I live up to the village owner's trust, everything will be fine on the island."

"It's just that the Lord of Tamluo Star seems to have some complaints, but seeing the strength of our army, he also bowed his head and surrendered." Wen Huanzhang said.

Zhang Zhengdao didn't care much about the Lord of Tamluo Star. What he was worried about was the reaction of the Goryeo Kingdom.

Wen Huanzhang continued: "Since I, Liangshan, occupied Jeju Island, at first, Korea did not know about it. In March, Lord Tamluo returned to the island, and the accompanying Korean officials were all captured by our people.

Get up."

"Does anyone in Korea know that Jeju Island is occupied by Liangshan?" Zhang Zhengdao asked.

Wen Huanzhang nodded and said: "The leader of the Koryo Kingdom already knew that Jeju Island was lost, and had previously sent three thousand Koryo troops to the island to encircle and suppress it."

"How is the battle going?" Zhang Zhengdao asked.

Wen Huanzhang smiled and said: "Three thousand Goryeo officers and soldiers came across the sea to conquer. How can they be the opponents of our Hanshan Army? What's more, those Goryeo ships were all captured by Liang Shanshui's navy. They have become turtles in the urn and surrendered.

."

"Okay!" Everyone cheered.

Zhang Zhengdao nodded with satisfaction and said: "There are military advisors on duty, and three thousand Goryeo officers and soldiers are ready to capture them."

Wen Huanzhang smiled and said: "There are so many soldiers on the island who have sacrificed their lives!"

"Master of the village, the three thousand Korean captives are currently building a city on the island." After Wen Huanzhang finished talking about this, he said seriously: "Three thousand Korean troops are not something to be afraid of. I am only afraid that the leader of the Korean kingdom will send another large army.

Cross-sea conquest."

"This time, I heard that I came back to the mountain because I wanted to ask the leader of the village to mobilize the troops to guard the mountain to Jeju Island." Wen Huanzhang said.

Zhang Zhengdao pondered for a moment and asked: "Military advisor, how many immigrants are there on the island now?"

Wen Huanzhang replied: "More than 30,000 immigrants have already opened up wasteland to grow grain. By the end of the year, we should be able to be self-sufficient and no longer waste money from copycats."

Zhang Zhengdao pondered for a moment and said: "In this case, in order to prevent Goryeo from sending a large army to encircle and suppress us, we will transfer the mountain guard army, trap camp and flying cavalry army to Jeju Island."

When Wen Huanzhang saw that Zhang Zhengdao actually transferred the three battalions of soldiers and horses away from Liangshan, he hesitated and said: "Master of the village, isn't it that Liangshan is empty?"

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "It is enough to leave one battalion of the attacking army to guard the mountain stronghold."

"What's more, now that there are five thousand soldiers and horses from Mulan Mountain and Jishan, two more battalions of soldiers and horses can be established." Zhang Zhengdao glanced at the people in the hall and said solemnly: "I intend to speed up and lay down the enemy.

Goryeo, therefore, first transfer all battalions of soldiers and horses to Jeju Island to practice first and become familiar with the domestic situation in Goryeo."

Although Wen Huanzhang was a little surprised, the thought of conquering Goryeo made this proud sage in the field already feel excited.

Xiao Jiasui then asked: "Zhai leader, Xiao wants to go to Jeju Island with us."

Zhang Zhengdao asked: "Three military advisors are here. If I want to send troops to attack Goryeo next year, will I have a chance of winning?"

Wen Huanzhang said: "This matter needs long-term consideration."

Fang Xuedu also said: "Master, don't rush into this matter. Although we have tens of thousands of people in Liangshan, the country of Korea also has a population of two million. If we rush it for a while, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive and the success will be in vain."

."

The anxiety in Zhang Zhengdao's heart gradually disappeared.

Wen Huanzhang said: "Master, if the number of immigrants on the island exceeds 100,000, and we have 50,000 soldiers in Liangshan, and we have three years of money and food to spend, then the attack on Goryeo will be feasible."<

/p>

Xiao Jiasui also advised: "What Mr. Wen said is true. A war to destroy a country is no small matter. Soldiers, horses, food and fodder must all be planned before we can mobilize our troops."

Zhang Zhengdao nodded and accepted the advice humbly.

Yes, the war to destroy the country is not a child's play. Although I am impatient, I still need to plan carefully.

The war is fought for money and food, and for logistical supplies. Only by turning Jeju Island into a base camp, hoarding food and grass, and training elites can we destroy Goryeo in one fell swoop.

Seeing Zhang Zhengdao listening to the advice, Fang Xuedu said with a smile: "Now our Liangshan Mountain is booming, and there is an endless stream of people coming to seek refuge. When the village owner is not in the village, he has recruited more than 10,000 people to the mountain."

"Among them, there are enough to form two more battalions of soldiers and horses!" Fang Xuedu told everyone another piece of good news.

Zhang Zhengdao was overjoyed. What Liangshan lacked at the moment was soldiers and horses. If two more battalions of soldiers were added, it would be one step closer to conquering Goryeo.
