Chapter 1017 Preparations before the expedition, news from Tai'an
Lu Junyi willingly surrendered to Erlongshan Dazhai to join the cause of justice. Although they had a friendship with each other, Xiao Tang also knew that there was no need to parachute this jade unicorn to the second-in-command position in Dazhai.
After all, there is no need for Xiao Tang to be like Song Jiang, who pretended to support Lu Yuanwai, who was famous but had no foundation in Liangshan, and became the second person to consolidate his right to speak in the cottage, not to mention
Not only did Xiao Tang not owe anything to Lu Junyi, on the contrary, he was very kind to him. Therefore, Xiao Tang did not need to deliberately promote him, and Lu Junyi was naturally grateful to himself and his brothers in the village, and he did not have any resentment in his heart.
Another point is not that Xiao Tang meant to look down on Lu Junyi, but this Hebei Yuqilin is indeed not suitable to be the second-in-command of the cottage, let alone the ability to lead a troop alone when necessary as the commander of a partial division.
The coach goes to war.
Because although it is said that his flaws are not concealed, just because Lu Junyi is praised as a man who is unparalleled in the world with guns and sticks, it still conceals a huge shortcoming of him to a certain extent: his lack of command ability and lack of ability to lead troops in war.
Very.
In the original work, Lu Junyi and his troops led by Song Jiang also suffered a lot of losses when they each served as commanders for the expedition. During the expedition to Liao, Wu Yong did not listen to Zhu Wu's advice and easily sent out troops, but He Chongbao plotted and fell into Qingshiyu.
; When Wang Qingshi refused to listen to Yan Qingshi's constant dissuasion, Yan Qing had no choice but to ask him for five hundred troops. During the aftermath, Lu Junyi, who had a high self-esteem, still didn't take it seriously. As a result, he was slapped in the face and almost got burned by the poisonous flame ghost king Kou Yan.
He planned to burn him alive; without Zhu Wu, Yan Qing and other brothers to deal with the aftermath, Lu Junyi himself would have been in danger more than once. During the expedition to Fangla, the troops led by Lu Junyi were in trouble in such places as attacking Shezhou, Yuling Pass and other places.
The casualties among the leaders during the war were extremely heavy (of course Song Jiang was not much better). In fact, the deaths of many leaders such as Shi Jin, Shi Xiu, Shan Tinggui, Wei Dingguo, etc. were avoidable. It can only be said that he only lived as a rich man in the first half of his life.
Although Lu Junyi, who is not a member of the military, has developed superb martial arts skills through hard work, in the original work, after he led a group of troops, his shortcomings in commanding troops were exposed.
Although there are many wise and brave men in the green forest, they lack handsome men with rich experience in large-scale wars and excellent commanding abilities. This is definitely not an empty talk. Thinking of this, Xiao Tang couldn't help but think that although he is now settled in Dazhai,
He was depressed and unsatisfied, so he only acted as a dormant and forbearing natural god general Liu Fa.
However, a new cavalry camp was set up and Lu Junyi was appointed as the commander of the first battalion. His horse fighting skills were more than enough. Since the last time several cavalry battalions were reorganized due to the growing popularity of the mountain stronghold, Shi Bao, Lu Fang and others were recruited one after another.
, Guo Sheng, Pang Wanchun, Sun Li, Zhu Tong and many other heroes joined the group to gather together. Xiao Tang thought that it was necessary to expand a few horse infantry camps, and then determine the number according to the temperament, ability, mutual understanding and other factors of each leader.
Teach them to take charge of a battalion of troops and work together in a healthy manner.
However, Xiao Tang has only dispatched some horse infantry soldiers to the command of Lu Junyi, Sun Li, Zhu Tong and others. Now that the village is preparing to mobilize troops and horses to attack Dulonggang in Dongping Prefecture, Xiao Tang is also planning to take advantage of this opportunity to prove his merits.
Discuss rewards and determine what kind of positions the leaders who have not yet been established will hold in the newly-established horse infantry army.

In the next few days, given that Chen Xizhen's side seemed to have sent people to inquire about the recent movements of Erlong Mountain, Qingfeng Mountain and other large villages, Xiao Tang also considered that it was very possible that the man would lead his troops to join Zhujiazhuang. In one place, Shi Qian, Zhang Qing, and Sun Erniang were also sent with some men to Dulonggang to find out the true situation. The other leaders of the other ministries led the soldiers and horses, preparing to follow Xiao Tang's orders to go down the mountain for a conquest. Yan Qing also went to Dulonggang earlier. Xiao Tang talked about Hua Rong returning home in fine clothes. Someone in Qingfengzhai's hometown arranged a matchmaker and agreed to marry the local Cui family. Xiao Tang was also touched in his heart. Maybe this was fate, and Hua Rong was still the same as his wife Cui in the original work. When he arrived at a place where his brother was getting married, he had no choice but to go and celebrate with his original identity.
During this period, several events in other realms came to Erlongshan Village. Although they were not important events, they still aroused Xiao Tang's interest:
On the east side of Hebei Road in Qinghe County, Enzhou, Wu Song's elder brother Wu Zhi studied hard in the cold window, and finally won the title and was appointed as the magistrate of Yanggu County, Dongping Prefecture. At this time, Pan Jinlian, who had already been married to Wu Zhi, also followed her husband. It has been some time since it moved to Yanggu County.
Xiao Tang knew that although brothers Wu Zhi and Wu Song were born in poverty, Wu Zhi was an upright man. Now that he had completed his studies and was appointed as the county magistrate, he would definitely be a good and upright official who promoted good things and eliminated bad things, and was honest and upright. And Yanggu County was also on the border of Dongping Prefecture, Xiao Tang Tang thought to himself, whether it was due to his friendship with Wu Song and Wu Zhi, or considering the riots that would eventually be caused by the war in local counties and towns, even if it was to be a big fight in Dongping Prefecture (Yunzhou) this time, the war would not be It is good to spread the influence to Yanggu County, so that Jiao Wu Zhi will not be implicated.
However, Wu Zhi and Pan Jinlian moved from Qinghe County, Enzhou to Yanggu County, Dongping Prefecture... Xiao Tang couldn't help but think of the high-ranking official from Yanggu County. So far, he had never heard of it. What kind of trouble did that guy cause? Today Wu Zhi is not a commoner selling cooking cakes, but a local magistrate. Pan Jinlian is a well-educated, virtuous and gentle lady, and is definitely not a frivolous woman. She must be that High officials can't harm Wuzhi County...
On the Wuyi Mountain side of Fujian Road, due to the heavy harm caused by Huashigang's poison to various places in the south of the Yangtze River, the number of displaced people who were displaced and angry was much higher than that of Shandong and Hebei during this period. Uprising flags were raised in Wuyi Mountain to recruit refugees. The stone treasures also passed through the ships under the command of heroes such as Jade Claw Long Chenggui, Xi Zhulong Xie Fu and other heroes, and then went north by sea to command two to three thousand people to prepare to land near Mizhou, and transferred these newly recruited military health to Erlong Mountain In Dazhai, Shi Bao, who is the most ruthless person in the green forest of Fujian, is naturally a rare general. Xiao Tang said that the opportunity is just right, and when the time comes to attack Zhujiazhuang, his tiger-cutting blade will also provide great help. Help;?
Zhang San and Li Si, who were working as sentinels at the foot of Erlong Mountain to welcome guests, also learned from passing merchants that when the East and West Roads of Beijing attacked the Qing Mansion (formerly Yanzhou, renamed in the 8th year of Zhenghe), the battle for Tai'an was At the wrestling conference, there was a good wrestler named Ren Mingyuan who was born in Taiyuan Prefecture. He was ten feet tall and called himself "Optimus Prime". Ren Mingyuan also uttered wild words about sumo wrestling. There is no rival in the world, and I am the best in the world. His disciples also boasted that the master was a hero who punched the tiger in the south mountain and kicked the black dragon in the north sea. It seems that he planned to compete with the masters from all over the Song Dynasty at Tai'an Temple. , to make a name for himself by challenging people all over the world in sumo wrestling.
Xiao Tang also knew that the Taiyue Temple Fair began in the late Tang Dynasty, flourished in the Song Dynasty, and flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It has endured through all dynasties. During the temple fair, it was very lively with traders, brokers, and tourists. There were also cockfighting, Cuju, storytelling, and performing arts everywhere. Setting up stalls is also a very famous folk event in Shandong. In today's season, good wrestlers from all over the Song Dynasty will take this opportunity to show off during the temple fair. Xiao Tang secretly said this In the original work, Optimus Prime and Ren Yuan originally competed in Taiyue for two consecutive years without any opponent. However, according to the original trajectory, in the third year, he was knocked to the stage by Yan Qing who used the unique skill of Flying Pigeon Spin. He fell, and then Li Kui lifted a stone slab and smashed his head into pieces. Thinking about it, although Ren Yuan was also a man with some wrestling skills, in terms of his skills in catching, wrestling and short fighting, he was easily defeated by Yan Qing. He's not a very good guy.
After thinking about it in his mind, Xiao Tang looked at Yan Qing who was standing aside, and saw that he was also looking at him. Yan Qing's expression seemed to be uninterested. Besides Yan Qing, there was also a leader in the hall. He was gearing up and looking eagerly at Xiao Tang, but it was none other than Maskless Jiao Ting who was also good at fighting.
