Water Margin people

Chapter 668
"What does Chief Sun mean by this?"

Zhang Shuye looked at Sun Lei and asked.

"The two old generals want to go to the opposite side of the Yellow River. Of course, soldiers and horses are indispensable. Although my Liangshan soldiers and horses have been trained for a long time, they are considered elite, but they have never been on a real battlefield. What do you two say?"

Sun Lei looked at Zongze and Zhang Shuye with a smile and said, what Liangshan has experienced all along is not considered a real war.

Sun Lei asked Lu Zhishen privately about the war between the Western Army and Xixia. In the real battlefield, you die or you live. There is no third way to go. The battlefield is a meat grinder, where human life is the least valuable .

"You two also know that crossing the Yellow River is a war between countries and countries, clans and clans, and it doesn't look like a joke here."

Sun Lei looked at Zong Ze and Zhang Shuye and said.

"Boss Sun wants us to help train the formation?"

Zong Ze saw through Sun Lei's purpose at a glance. Sun Lei actually asked them to teach the art of war, and now he has the idea of ​​forming an army.

"Mr. Zong really understands the truth. This kind of war is not about fighting for the top of the river and lake. The two armies are confronting each other. It can't be done without a strict army formation."

Sun Lei nodded with a smile and said, the army formation of the Great Song Dynasty is unique. It is said that Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty had a "Pingrong Ten Thousand Formation", which was said to require 14 people to form a large formation, which can be regarded as the pinnacle of the military formation in the cold weapon era.

Sun Lei is very curious, how can 14 people come together to give orders?In this era, there were no radios or telephones. It is said that the width of the 14-strong army formation is seventeen miles.

Among them are cavalry, chariots, various phalanxes, and heavy equipment. Even the messengers have to run for half an hour on horseback. Once the battle starts, how will they command it?

"Don't worry, Chief Sun, I will teach you everything!"

Zong Ze said, since he wanted to use Liang Shan to regain his homeland, he would not hide his secrets. The more powerful Liang Shan is, the more hopeful he is in recovering Yanyun.

"Haha, then I will leave the matter of Cangzhou to Mr. Zong and Mr. Zhang. I will go back to Liangshan in a few days."

Sun Lei looked at Zong Ze and Zhang Shuye and said.

"Boss Sun is leaving?"

Zong Ze and Zhang Shuye looked at Sun Lei unexpectedly. According to the current situation, Sun Lei had two choices: to return to Liangshanbo or to stay in Cangzhou.

Now the whole of Cangzhou has been captured by Sun Lei. Although the terrain of Cangzhou is flat, it is surrounded by the Yellow River on both sides in the northwest and the sea in the east. Only the south side has no shelter.

Sun Lei has a powerful navy fleet. As long as he builds some fortresses in the south of Cangzhou, digs some ravines, and defends against the mountains, he can completely build a Bohai state.

The waters of Liangshanbo are crisscrossed, with mountains to the east and heavily guarded Tokyo to the west. The pressure it faces will definitely not be small.

"Liang Shanbo is my foundation, how can I give up?"

Sun Lei smiled.

Zong Ze and Zhang Shuye only thought about the Northern Expedition, so they thought Cangzhou was a good place.

But Sun Lei is different. Both the Northern Expedition and the Westward Expedition to the Central Plains are to be done, and Cangzhou has only just been won, and people's hearts are unstable, so we can't focus on it now.

Liangshan Park is different. It has been in operation for several years. Liangshan is the aspiration of the people and is very popular. Moreover, the terrain of Liangshan Park can guarantee absolute safety.

"In addition, I would like to introduce you to the two of you. These two are Yunlong Gongsun Sheng, Shenjuzi Ma Ling, Liangshanbo military division and the leader of the investigation. They will be responsible for the intelligence of Cangzhou in the future."

Sun Lei greeted Ma Ling with a smile and said.

"Gongsun Daochang, Ma Daochang, I will leave the information over there to you."

Sun Lei looked at Gongsun Sheng and Ma Ling and said.

"Brother, don't worry, little brother will definitely go all out."

Ma Ling bowed down to Sun Lei.

"What is Ma Daochang doing?"

Sun Lei quickly supported Ma Lingdao.

"Brother speaks volumes, he has served in Cangzhou in just two years, and is just across the river from Yanyun. I thank you on behalf of Yanyun!"

Ma Ling insisted on worshiping. Sun Lei promised him that he would send troops to Yanyun in five or six years, but now he has arrived in Cangzhou after only two years. How could he not be excited.

"Ma Daochang, we all acted smoothly because of the concerted efforts of the brothers, but we should not take it lightly when we do big things, and we should be more careful when we move over the river."

Sun Lei helped Ma Ling up and exhorted.

"Brother, don't worry, little brother knows!"

Ma Ling nodded solemnly.

After Sun Lei explained the matter, he left with a smile. He is going back to Liangshan soon. Let's arrange things in Cangzhou.

"Both are from Yanyun?"

Zhang Shuye looked at Gongsun Sheng and Ma Ling and asked, the two seemed to have different feelings towards Yan Yun, and that was why Sun Lei kept them.

"That's right, we are all Yanyun people. You officials are used to the glory and wealth, and you have long forgotten the pain of Yanyun people!"

Ma Ling looked at Zhang Shuye coldly, and also wanted to regain Yanyun Sixteen States, but their goals were completely different from Zongze and Zhang Shuye.

Ma Ling and Gongsun Sheng are only for the people of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun to get rid of the foreign race and live a good life. They don't care whether it is the recovery of the Song Dynasty or the recovery of Liangshan. In their opinion, Liangshan is far better than the Song Dynasty.

As for Zong Ze and Zhang Shuye, they just want to regain their homeland and fulfill their lifelong wish.

Ma Ling's words made Zongze and Zhang Shuye speechless. As former court officials, they ignored the suffering of the people. Although they obeyed the court's orders, they knew right from wrong.

"Gongsun Daoist, younger brother, go and check first!"

Ma Ling clasped his fist at Gongsun Sheng, took a penny from the nearby river beach, threw it into the water with all his might, jumped onto the penny with one dash, and crossed the Yellow River one by one.

"Two, the army is stationed upstream, let's get through it!"

Gongsun Sheng clasped his fists at Zong Ze and Zhang Shuye and smiled. Unlike Ma Ling's anger, he didn't blame Zong Ze and Zhang Shuye. After all, the entire Song Dynasty was ruined, and it was pointless to blame them.

"Brother, why don't you stay for a few more days, it's already autumn, my little brother will go hunting with you!"

Chai Jin looked at Sun Lei and said, after more than ten days, Chai Jin finally recovered, and became a senior official of Cangzhou Xiaoxuanfeng Chai again.

However, Sun Lei can still see the changes in Chai Jin. Now Chai Jin is much more restrained than before. After so many things, Chai Jin has matured, and he is no longer so self-righteous and supercilious.

"Master Chai, it's been two months since I left Liangshan, it's time to go back."

Sun Lei shook his head with a smile, Qiu Wei hunting is really good, but he has no time now.

"elder brother!"

Chai Jin held Sun Lei's hand with some reluctance.

"If officials Chai have free time, they can come to Liangshanbo for a sit-down!"

Sun Lei invited with a smile.

"sure!"

Chai Jin nodded repeatedly.

After bidding farewell to Chai Jin, Sun Lei led the army to Liangshanbo.

"Brother, I'm afraid it will be the autumn harvest when we go back this time!"

Lin Chong smiled and said, this army campaign can be described as a complete victory.

"Not only the autumn harvest, but Fang La is also ready to move!"

Sun Lei handed a letter to everyone.

"Deng Yuanjue came to Liangshanbo to post?"

Lu Zhishen immediately became interested when he saw it. He was very dissatisfied with the great monk Deng Yuanjue. There was no winner in martial arts, but the last time he debated with the great monk Deng made him very angry. We must find our way back and argue against Monk Deng.
