Chapter 281 Revenge
Xiao Rang said: "What do you mean by the official?"
Zhao Zhen said: "I heard from brother Huangfu Duan that the war horses in the pasture have been transferred back to the army. That’s why I asked.”
After hearing this, Xiao Rang said with a smile: “Sir, I’m here just for this matter. I just received the news from the scholar Kuai Ma that the matter has been settled. Deal with it."
Zhao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Inviting the two of them to sit down in the hall, they began to inquire in detail.
Xiao Rang said: "Before the high official left, he told us to be careful about Jingyang Town. I and the others did not dare to neglect. After much thought, we found that the enemy is in the dark and we are in the dark. It is too passive. We still need to find out what is going on in Jingyang Town. For good measure, let the newly arrived brother Duan Jingzhu pretend to be a merchant and go to Jingyang Town to investigate.” He didn't dare to do anything openly. However, he was not willing to suffer. This man recruited a group of hard-wearing men from his hometown Fengyun Village and pretended to be merchants. He just bumped into Brother Duan Jingzhu and secretly eavesdropped on what these people were saying. They wanted to destroy Zhu Gui's tavern at the foot of Dulonggang at night."
"After hearing this, Xue Xue and I gathered horse troops from various places and quietly sneaked into Dulonggang to ambush these people. When passing by, the cavalry troops came out and eradicated this group of people in one fell swoop. I think Xuedi will be able to escort the prisoners back today. I will know when I ask."
Zhao Zhen said: "It's very dangerous, although the Dulonggang garrison is not there. Master, although there are many strong men in that restaurant, they are not fully armored. If we encounter the enemy in a hurry, we will probably suffer a lot of damage. Fortunately, you two are alert. It seems that the restaurant needs to strengthen its defense."
< br>"Just in time, I bought a batch of rattan armor from the main world. I originally planned to send it to the navy to use and replace the leather armor. So I took out fifty pairs and sent them to the restaurant to hide them. If something happens, it can be delayed for a moment or two. .”
Xiao Rang said with a smile: "Yun Tianbiao must be unlucky. Who would have thought that this group of people was bumping into brother Duan Jingzhu. I wonder what the rattan armor the village owner is talking about?"
Zhao Zhen listened and asked Zhao Yuanli to take it. Get a pair and put it on for a villager. Xiao Rang stepped forward to take a look and said: "This rattan armor is suitable for a restaurant. Compared with leather armor, this rattan armor is used by rural heroes. It's just that I smell the smell of tung oil. Has this armor been soaked in tung oil?"
Zhao Zhen immediately explained how to weave the rattan armor. After hearing this, Xiao Rang said: "No wonder the official wanted to send water. Army, this armor is light, does not sink in water, and is as protective as leather armor. There is a lot of moisture on the ship, and the rivets on the leather armor are easy to rust, but this armor is suitable. The only thing about it is that it is flammable, and I am afraid it cannot be used in the navy. All use this armor."
Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "Brother is right, this rattan armor is only used in small quantities by the water army. I think this rattan armor is still used in various villages. The brave team and various military camps can also be used to train soldiers and horses and compete in martial arts. The most suitable thing is to make rattan armor side cards because of their lightness, especially the cavalry side cards. "
< br>“As for the several types of rattan that are not afraid of fire, we still need to weave rattan armor and equip an army alone. If someone thinks that rockets can be broken, he will suffer a big loss.”
Pei Xuandao: "Officials, rockets have always been used in water battles. If there are really vine armors that are not afraid of fire, it is better to give them to the water army. It is just the icing on the cake for the infantry. The water army is a life-saving weapon. Even if you accidentally fall into the water, rely on it." With its unsinkable nature, the water soldiers are more likely to survive."
Zhao Zhen said: "Brothers are thoughtful, so they will be sent to the water army after they are built."
At noon time, Zhao Zhen stayed with Xiao Rang and Pei Xuan to have dinner together. During the dinner, Xiao Rang told Zhao Zhen all the big and small things that happened in Liangshan County during this period. Until the You hour, Wu Yong escorted the prisoners back and it just came to an end.
After seeing Li, Zhao Zhen asked: "Xuetuo, can you interrogate me clearly?"
Wu Yongdao: "Official, I asked someone to interrogate me on the way. This group of people are all They were from Jiangnan Fengyun Village, headed by the gun-stick instructor of the old village owner Yun Wei's family. Unfortunately, they were killed in the rebel army. According to several leaders who knew about it, they were all ordered by Yun Wei and came to obey Yun Tian. Biao arranged it. He just wanted to burn down a restaurant. Regardless of success or failure, he would go south without having to return to Jingyang Town. "Xiao Rang said, "In this case, Yuntian Biao must arrange people to find out the news. A person is prepared in advance so that he will never come back.”
Wu Yongdao: "Brother Zhu Wu is waiting there. However, this official road is prosperous, and caravans pass through Jingyang Town every day. He can also find out clearly in the town."
Zhao Zhen said: "Study, have all these people been captured and killed?"
Wu Yongdao: "This group plus a private soldier leading the way, there are 31 people in total. We dispatched the No. 1 team where Coach Lin is located. The three capitals, the first capital where Luan Tingyu was and the sixth capital where Shi Jin was, had a total of 600 cavalry, and they chased and intercepted them, but not one of them escaped. Fearing that Yun Tianbiao would make an attack from the east, he sent people to attack Liangshan County, so Heihu Temple Town was stationed. Sun An's and Li Ying's cavalry troops have not been mobilized, and other sergeants have been prepared. Now it seems that Yun Tianbiao just wants to vent his anger and dare not take action himself. "
Zhao Zhen frowned and said: "You can only be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against a thief for a thousand days. As time goes by, there will always be times when you are careless. What should we do?"
"We are also under the jurisdiction of the Song Dynasty. We will personally go into battle to ensure the facts are confirmed. We have to make new decisions and cannot act rashly." Xiao Rang frowned, feeling a little worried.
Wu Yong said: "What's the difficulty? The old lady is coming to the county to visit her. Why don't you send someone to pick up the old lady and ask the senior official to write a letter? All you need to do is persuade the senior official to send Yun Tianbiao to If you move away from here, you will have no worries."
Zhao Zhen said: "Given the relationship between Yun Tianbiao and Zhujiazhuang, Yun Tianbiao must have a backing in the court, and I am afraid that Lao Taishan will be in trouble."
Wu gently shook the goose feather fan in his hand: "It's just a level adjustment. It shouldn't be difficult. As long as Yuntianbiao can be transferred away from Yanggu, Dong'a, Feicheng, Pingyin, Wenshang, etc., there will always be vacancies. Only in this way, There is no need to guard against raids in Jingyang Town every day, and there is no need to station two teams of horse troops in Black Tiger Temple Town. We can just rely on the local braves to maintain it."
Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said: "In this case, I will let my wife. Write a letter and ask your mother-in-law to help deliver the message. This will make things easier. ”
Wu Yong said: "This is the best."
"Who can take a trip?" Zhao Zhen asked.
Wu Yong pondered for a moment and said: "How about Jiao Ting and Shi Qian taking the Yidu sergeant to accompany the manager Zhao Xing?"
Zhao Zhen said: "Let Fu Yu take 20 horses. "
After deciding the matter, Wu Yong asked: "Master, are the twelve captured men going to be killed?"
Zhao Zhen shook his head and said: "Let's interrogate again and see if we can ask anything else. If you cooperate, how about wearing shackles and sending them to the cell to pound rice?"
