Chapter 7: Make further arrangements and accumulate strength
Seeing the two men's gazes, Shen Tang thought deeply and said: "I have asked the two brothers to return to Shanyin the day before yesterday. If there is any new news, it will be sent as soon as possible. However, we cannot sit here and wait. .”
"First of all, our current location is used as a contact point. Although the Lieri Army has lost traces of Xiangling here, we still have to secretly check the movements of the Lieri Army! After all, their power is huge, and it is very likely that Get the news faster than we can."
"Here, Brother Yuhu arranged for three or five brothers to stay. While secretly inquiring about the news, if there is any news from Shanyin, he might as well tell us! And among these three or five people, Brother Lu must be here."
Before Lu Feng could speak, Shen Tang waved his hand to stop Lu Feng's words, and continued: "In addition, the other brothers went to the state capitals around Xiangyang. After all, the other party who attacked the Lieri Army was probably the surrounding forces. .Especially the Zaoyang Army, which has strength and motivation, and is one of the main directions for our investigation!"
"Brother Lu Feng is here to collect information from all parties and control the overall situation!"
"Brother Shen, what about yourself?" Cheng Yuhu said, scratching his head.
"I plan to go to Suizhou!" Shen Tang responded, "We don't know anything about the situation in the DPRK and China, so we must find someone with sufficient status to contact us! Before coming here, Brother Lu You gave me a letter of respect from Mr. Fan Yuanyu of Suizhou. Tie. Although Lord Fan’s official position is low, his reputation is not small. Moreover, even if he doesn’t know it, he can still find opportunities for Lord Fan to introduce some high-ranking officials, which is at least much better than us going to inquire without knowing anything."
Cheng Yuhu nodded, but Lu Feng beside him shook his head.
"Brother Shen, although this matter is important, it does not have to be done by you! Since Mr. Lu recommended it, Mr. Fan can naturally trust him. It is enough to send a smart brother there. Although it is a bit rude, when it comes to the matter After that, you can just go and say thank you. Now, you have a more important thing..."
"Oh?" Shen Tang was stunned!
Just listen to Lu Feng say: "Brother Shen, do you think what will happen even if we find out the traces of Sister Xiangling next?"
"Of course I have to find a way to save him!" Shen Tang said without hesitation.
Lu Feng nodded, "Just like our plan against the Lie Japanese Army, in fact, there is a huge loophole in it!"
"What!" This time, even Cheng Yuhu became curious. Both of them were extremely shocked by Lu Feng's previous plan, and they regarded it as the safest method. How could there be any loopholes?
"It may not be appropriate to talk about loopholes, but our biggest shortcoming is that our strength is too weak. If our strength is doubled, not only will the plan go more smoothly, but even accidents can be dealt with. If our strength increases ten times, then even if we are waiting for an opportunity to rob people, it may not be impossible. If our strength increases a hundred times, what if we are the Lie Sun Army? Just face it head-on and directly confront the Lie Sun Army!"
"If our strength can be increased a thousand times!" At this point, Lu Feng sneered, "Don't talk about the Fierce Japanese Army. No matter which force we choose, as long as we spread the news, they will treat their younger brothers and sisters with utmost respect, and even be obedient. Send my siblings back!"
Lu Feng's words shocked Shen Tang. Yes, what he lacks most now is strength. In fact, if he had enough strength, what happened this time would not have happened at all.
However, Shen Tang couldn't help but smile bitterly at the next moment, "Brother Lu, what you said makes sense. But, how difficult is it to gather a powerful force?"
"Although it is difficult, it is not impossible!" Lu Feng said, "We now have fifty brothers, and it is estimated that the brothers from Shanyin will gradually come. In this way, we will have at least a hundred people! Now we One of the reasons why our combat power is weak is that we have not experienced bloody battles. The second reason is that we lack training and weapons!"
"You know that Brother Yuhu is a soldier. If we have a powerful crossbow and more than a hundred war horses! Then we can fight even if we face several times the number of enemies!"
When Cheng Yuhu heard this, he couldn't help but said excitedly: "Yes, even though there are only a few hundred people, if we have enough horses, crossbows, and armor, we may not be unable to defeat even a thousand troops!"
"But crossbows and armor are expensive, but you can still buy some. But it's difficult to get more than a hundred horses!" Cheng Yuhu said again.
"It's naturally difficult in the Song Dynasty, but what if we go to the north? You know, horses are one of the cheapest things there!" Lu Feng said with a smile.
"Northland?"
Cheng Yuhu and Shen Tang said in unison, extremely shocked!
"Brother Yuhu, don't tell me that we, the Song Dynasty people, can't do business with the North!" Lu Feng asked.
Cheng Yuhu scratched his head, "Well, not only the merchants of the Song Dynasty, but also the border troops often trade with the North! Moreover, as long as enough money is given, no matter whether it is the border troops of the Song Dynasty or the Jin Kingdom, most of the merchants are not interested. They will pay attention. After all, this can bring them great benefits."
"While we are purchasing crossbows and armor from the surrounding state capitals, we need a team of people to go to the Northland and purchase a group of war horses!" Lu Feng said decisively.
"It sounds complicated, but if everything goes well, it will take ten to twenty days to get everything ready. Moreover, even if there is news about Miss Xiangling, we still need to prepare and even check the details, so we don't have to worry about delays!"
Shen Tang thought carefully, and then finally nodded. A force that can fight is indeed urgently needed now.
"Then I'll do it!" Cheng Yuhu responded.
"No!" Lu Feng said, "It is best for Brother Shen to go in person and bring ten brothers with him for this matter. Brother Yuhu needs to stay. After all, whether it is to train the existing brothers or to recruit from Shanyin later, Brothers who come here, you are the most suitable candidate."
In fact, apart from this reason, Lu Feng did not explain one thing. Although they said it was easy, going to the North is naturally very dangerous, and even some fights are unavoidable! But it is at this time that it is most suitable Shen Tang has established his position in the hearts of others. This time, as long as Shen Tang can return safely, then the group of people who followed him will be Shen Tang's trustworthy team from now on.
But if it were Cheng Yuhu, there would be a fight between the two tigers in the future, which was naturally not what Lu Feng wanted to happen.
"Okay!" Shen Tang nodded, "I will go there personally!"
Shen Tang naturally did not think as much as Lu Feng, but he knew that this trip was dangerous and did not want Cheng Yuhu to take risks on his behalf.
