The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Chapter 244 Internal and External Inspection
Li Zhu looked at the crowd, nodded slightly, and said, "For those who are beginners in martial arts, they often need to use more moves to decide the outcome. The higher the martial arts, the shorter the time to win. It is confirmed, so that battle was fought beyond a thousand strokes."

Everyone in the hall couldn't help but say yes, most of them understand this truth, when the martial arts are low, the damage is low, and often the more they fight, the more vigorous they are, but when the martial arts are high, there is a slight difference, and the victory or defeat can be determined in a very short time. Since one wants to prove one's martial arts skills, it's normal for him to use thousands of tricks as a master.

Li Zhudao: "Thousands of moves, I wanted to decide the outcome, but after I tried my best, I realized that it was a tie. This battle is a draw!"

It is no surprise to everyone that Zhou Tong became famous very early, and his reputation is far greater than that of Li Zhu. His reputation has not only existed in the rivers and lakes, green forests, but even in temples, in the market, and in the surrounding countries, Zhou Tong's name is widely heard. , Judging from Zhou Tong's reputation, he probably won't lose.

Li Zhu smiled at this moment, and said again: "But after careful calculation, I lost."

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, not understanding what Li Zhu meant by this.

Li Zhudao: "That year when I competed in martial arts, I was in my thirties, but Zhou Tong was already in his sixties. I was afraid of being young. Zhou Tong, at the age of nearly 70 years old, fought a tie with a mature man like me. Didn't I lose? What is it?"

It is true that people who study martial arts, the older they are, the more experienced they will be, but it is inevitable that the energy and blood will be insufficient, the strength will decline, and the speed and strength will not be as good as when they were in their prime.

Zhou Tong, who is nearly 70 years old, and Li Zhu testify to each other that his martial arts has reached a thousand moves, and after a thousand moves, he decides the outcome, and the fight is a draw.

This kind of tie is actually Li Zhu's loss.

Everyone saw that Li Zhu was upright, and couldn't help but flatter him, saying that the prime minister was modest, but that might not be the case.

Li Zhu stopped everyone's words, shook his head and sighed: "If you lose, you lose. You don't need to say more, but if you match up now, it will be another result. Zhou Tong should be hard to reach the long sword in my hand."

Zhao Tong narrowed his eyes when he heard the words, Li Zhu meant that if he faced Zhou Tong at that time now, he would win?

At this time, Wang Qing smiled and said: "The prime minister is upright, and the lonely king admires it!"

Li Zhu hurriedly saluted, "Your Majesty laughed at me."

Wang Qingdao: "Ten years ago, the Prime Minister's swordsmanship was already unrivaled in the world. Today, regardless of swordsmanship, I'm afraid he can't defeat any kind of weapon."

Li Zhu said: "Your Majesty's praise is that there are people beyond people, and there is heaven beyond the sky. How dare Li Zhu be called great."

Wang Qing looked at the crowd: "The prime minister has already explained Zhou Tong's marksmanship. I think Zhao Tong's son is also a spearman. All the loves can figure it out in private. If you can't beat that son's marksmanship!"

The corners of Zhao Tang's mouth twitched when he heard this, although these people in front of him are not lacking in martial arts skills, but just relying on Li Zhu's simple description, they want to study the ability to defeat the seven spear techniques.

At this time, Wang Qing said again: "The ten generals are highly skilled in martial arts. Now that Zhao Song's army is overwhelming, they can lead the army first."

Ten people came out of the class and said together: "I would like to share the worries for the king."

Wang Qing looked at the ten people and said from his heart that he was worried about the other eight people except Li Fei and the woman named Shangguan Pian.

Li Fei's demeanor is definitely not a spy, and that woman is also impossible, not to mention that there are no women in the Song Dynasty to lead the army, even if there are, it is impossible to send them out to be a spy.

Although the origins of the remaining eight people are clear, these two are not pleasing to the eye. Thinking of this, Wang Qing said: "There are many soldiers in Luzhou City, and now there are 3 troops stationed in the inner city and [-] in the outer city. There is always something wrong with such a large number of soldiers." Chaos, Li Fei..."

Zhao Tun's heart skipped a beat, and he hastily saluted: "The minister is here!" "

Wang Qingdao: "Temporarily give you two thousand soldiers and horses to inspect the inside and outside of the department!"

Zhao Tong was overjoyed when he heard the words, the internal and external patrols were not patrolling the roads, but the duty of supervising military discipline. Although they didn't lead many troops, they had great power, and were in charge of the military discipline and military discipline of the 8 horses in the inner and outer cities.

He hurriedly said: "The minister leads the order!"

Wang Qing nodded. The most troublesome thing for him now was not that Song State sent troops to attack again, but that there was no one in his army who could suppress all directions.

These thieves had no discipline at all, and the generals at the top were ordinary in martial arts and didn't know anything about military affairs, so they couldn't suppress them at all.

Especially after successive victories and the capture of Huaixi, the soldiers were all arrogant and disobedient. Not only did people in the same battalion often fight violently, the atmosphere was chaotic, there were also fights between the various armies from time to time, and the officers above did not care No, even before the Luzhou competition, a battalion soldier killed the battalion commander, robbed him, and ran away overnight.

Wang Qing was so angry that his seven orifices were filled with smoke, and he sent people to arrest them, but they only caught less than half of them, and all of them had their heads chopped off.

But he also knew that this was not a long-term solution. However, although Li Zhu had extraordinary martial arts skills and amazing strategies, he was blind in military affairs. Only the strong and powerful could suppress one or two of his subordinates. Among the entire army, only Du Po The army is still in order, and everything else is a mess.

That's where Luzhou Lei came from, so Wang Qing first had to use people like Zhao Tun to maintain order in the army.

Wang Qing thought about it for a while, and said: "Li Aiqing, I alone give you the right to kill first and then play. Those who violate the military law and refuse to obey the command of the army can be killed directly!"

Zhao Tong hurriedly thanked him, one commanded 500 people, and if someone disobedient, he could be killed directly. This right is not small, but it is also an errand that offends others.

"Shangguan Pian!" Wang Qing said again.

Liyana stepped forward. She looked ordinary, with slightly dark skin, and a white lotus pattern embedded in her forehead. She was dressed in men's clothing, which looked very weird.

However, the nickname she registered in Luzhou Lei was Tianshan Xuelian, and she said that she traveled in the northwest, and she was not from the Central Plains, and her accent was that of Uighur Xixia, and she was a woman, so Wang Qing was completely at ease.

Wang Qingdao: "General Shangguan is highly skilled in martial arts. I will give you two thousand soldiers alone to switch defenses with the guards of Xiping Gate. If any of your subordinates refuse to accept, you can kill them first and then play. You will definitely guard the city gate!"

There are seven city gates in Luzhou City. Except for the north, there are two gates in other directions. This Xiping Gate is a city gate in the West City. If you change the gate, you will naturally have the right to open and close, and you must trust someone to do it. Take care of here.

Liana Zashan stepped back.

Then Wang Qing conferred military posts on others, including the heroes who ranked second and third in Luzhou Lei, as well as those small village owners who went to defect, the more commanded two thousand soldiers, and the less commanded five hundred soldiers, all of them had their own merits. placement.

But everyone also knew that this was only a temporary arrangement. Once the Song army really entered Luzhou, it would definitely have to be rearranged, and they would probably go to the battlefield to fight.

Then they discussed the matter of money and food, logistics and supplies, and the method of resisting the enemy. Only then did they announce their withdrawal from the court and everyone left the palace.
