Chapter 249 Wu Xuejun visited Dongping Mansion

The next day, during breakfast, Zhao Zhen asked Cheng Waner: "Madam, the white fox didn't come back yesterday, or did he go out again early in the morning?"

Cheng Waner said: " My husband, these five little ones didn’t come back last night. I asked the manager Zhao Yuanli this morning and said that Li Ji was following.” Mr. Wu and the others came back. Seeing that it was getting late, Mr. Wu told the officials not to disturb him and to report to the Dongping Mansion and his delegation again today. They are now waiting in the hall. "

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen ate the rolls in his hands in several mouthfuls. Next, he picked up the bowl and drank the seafood porridge cooked with pearl rice and dried abalone. After drinking tea and rinsing his mouth, he said hello to Cheng Wan'er and the other three, then got up and followed Zhao Yuanli to the hall.

Entering the meeting hall, Zhao Zhen asked: "How are you, scholar?"

Wu Yong shook the goose feather fan in his hand and said: "Officials, with the boss in charge, everything will go smoothly."< br>
“The first point is that Zhujiazhuang started disputes, and found in the government office a complaint from a former businessman accusing him of forced buying and selling, and did not pay taxes. With this, the boss will Zhujiazhuang. It was designated as a gathering place for wild people. It was not recognized as a place under the jurisdiction of Dongping Prefecture, and Zhujiazhuang who was causing trouble was banned. On the day of our return, we issued an arrest warrant and hunted down Zhu Yongqing all over the territory of Dongping Prefecture. "

"Master, there will be some movement in Jingyang Town soon. We can lay an ambush in advance and capture Zhu Yongqing when he leaves the town. With his head, Dongping Mansion can still get three hundred guans." Money."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said: "Okay, we can finally force him out. This will eliminate the root cause, and Dulonggang will be stable in the future."

Wu Yong muttered: "Master, there is one more thing you need to be careful about."

"It's okay to be pedantic."

"Master, in the past few days in Dongping Mansion, I I have seen Yun Tianbiao, the commander-in-chief of the army and horses of Jingyang Town, from a distance. He has a face like a jujube, phoenix eyes and silk eyebrows, and a beautiful beard extending over his belly. He wields a moon-piercing steel sword and rides a white Dawan horse. He looks a bit like Yun Chang from the Three Kingdoms period. Hearing about the Zhujiazhuang incident, he went to the government to seek explanation and intercede. He was afraid that he would have to do something with Zhujiazhuang in the future. "

Zhao Zhen said: "He only has two battalions of soldiers. There are only two war generals, Yun Tianbiao and his son. I have thirty or fifty brothers here who are capable of fighting. After annexing Dulonggang, I added more sergeants. How can I be afraid of him? At the same time, he is an officer and I am also a member of the Song Dynasty. Jimi County does not belong to each other. As long as he does not rebel, there is nothing he can do about it. "

Wu Yong said: "Even so, you still have to be careful, after all, he is only half a day's journey away from me. ”

Seeing Wu Yong's seriousness, Zhao Zhen pondered for a moment and said: "To go from Jingyang Town to Liangshan County, you must pass through Black Tiger Temple Town. Now Sun An and Deng Fei have already stationed their troops there, and Shi Jin, Chen Da, and Yang Chun The Du Ma Army can now be mobilized. The Du Ma Army of Li Ying and Yang Lin can also be mobilized. "

"The new brothers Shi Xiu are very skilled and brave. There is also a new [Golden Retriever Dog] named Duan Jingzhu, who is both offensive and defensive. He is also a nimble hero like Shi Qian. , are also recruiting sergeants now, and will be placed in Heihu Temple Town after the army is formed. What do you think of this arrangement? "

Wu Yongdao: "The officials are thoughtful, and this arrangement can take into account Dulonggang. , and have the power of investigation and prevention. Please give an order to let Lin Chong, Li Ying, and Sun An sneak into the surroundings of Jingyang Town to ambush. I think Zhu Yongqing will go out to avoid trouble in the next two days and seek refuge elsewhere."
< br>When Zhao Zhen heard this, he immediately wrote a transfer order, used his seal, and ordered Zhao Ji and Zhang Qi to go separately to deliver the military order. He also summoned [Pioneer] Li San and went to Jingyang Town in disguise to contact [White Rat] Bai Sheng to secretly inquire and pass on the news to prevent Zhu Yongqing from leaving. Seeing that Zhao Zhen had finished his work, Wu Yong continued: "After talking about Zhujiazhuang, let's talk about the soldiers and armor that the officials are concerned about. I went here to tell the boss that the county is surrounded by fog, and there are many forces that can't stand me. When we become Jimi County, we are in trouble everywhere. It’s a pity that the county is not fully equipped. Please give me some advice.”

"At first, the old man was still a little hesitant. I asked the old governor Zhao Xing to pretend to mention it accidentally in front of the old woman. The old lady was worried about her daughter and forced the old man to go to the warehouse to collect a batch of armor."

"I bribed the official who guarded the treasury, and after his advice, I spent some money and bought 800 pieces of leather armor for seven guan each. I bought 500 pieces of forbidden armor for 12 guan each. I replaced the iron armor and bought one hundred and fifty pieces of infantry armor for twenty-five guan each."

"The official saw that we were also from the Song Dynasty government. I want a lot of armor, so I asked: "Do you want a weapon?" I thought that although there is no shortage in the county, I might as well take a look."

"So I pretended to be reluctant and said: 'This weapon. You can find a blacksmith to make it, and the price is cheaper than the depreciated ones like yours. 'But unexpectedly, this man actually led me to the depths of the warehouse. The knives and guns he took out were all new knives that had been greased and tightly wrapped. . I showed Brother Shi Jin that they were all thirty-refined weapons with two thousand sword heads, three hundred swords, five hundred swords, and one hundred swords."

"After the transaction, this man saw that I was a big customer and secretly asked me to go to a house. He took out thirty divine arm bows, each equipped with a hundred crossbow bolts, and asked me for a thousand guanzhong. He said it was The master craftsmen of the craftsmanship academy make more, which is an advantage for me.”

"Just buying these weapons and armor cost nearly 25,000 guan. The remaining 5,000 guan was used to buy horses, mules and carts, and also bought rice and flour. The armor and weapons were covered with rice and flour to confuse the audience."

Zhao Zhen said: "I thought it would be good if I could buy leather armor, but I never thought that there would be infantry armor. This crossbow is even more valuable. I heard that the military has extremely strict control and never leaks it to others. Thinking of flowing out of the craftsmanship academy."

Wu Yong said: "It's not because of these corrupt officials who are enriching their own pockets. Hey, what are you talking about? There are two more people going to Dongping Mansion this time. It's a good thing."

"Why, the scholar is smiling so happily."

Wu Yong said with a smile: "Master, this is indeed a happy event. I had nothing to do and was wandering around Dongping Mansion. I met a Qinghuan named Li Ruilan and took her as my concubine in Dongping Mansion. Now I have brought the whole family to Liangshan County."

"Yes, it is a happy event. What about the second one?"

Wu Yong said: "This second one is even better. That day, the boss allowed us to purchase ordnance. He seemed to be worried about the high officials. He was in danger here, so he called a young general from the Forbidden Army and asked him to defect to Liangshan County. This man was called Fu Yu, and when we talked, we found out that this man was actually the apprentice of Brother Luan Tingyu. "

Zhao Zhendao. : "Sure enough, we have no chance to meet each other, but we have the chance to come thousands of miles to meet. I don't know where Fu Yuren is. Please come and meet me quickly."
