Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 188 New Arrangements
The sun rises high in the sky, and the sky shines through the mountains and forests. Two thousand village soldiers lined up stepped on the ships of the water village, and the horses pulling the flatbed carts easily dragged the empty carts back.

The five-year-old Bian Xiang carefully guarded Fan's family and set foot on the deck. Fan Quan, who followed his daughter, accidentally stepped into the air and almost fell into the river. Thanks to the guards behind him, he quickly helped the landlubber to life in the water village.

Qinglong God Yan Guang, who was ordered to go back to handover, covered his mouth to keep himself from laughing, and then followed Liu Yuan, Pan Zhong, Chen Yun, and Huang Shijun onto the boat.

On the day at the end of midsummer, following the order of the big man wearing the horn helmet, the boat full of people, money and food slowly sailed out of the water village and entered the water mooring. Five figures standing on the boat saluted the senders on the shore. The wind blew with moisture, and many big men on the shore seemed to be blown up and returned the salute with their arms.

"Don't look at it, the position in the branch village is rotated every two years, and you can see it during the holidays."

On the shore, Qiao Lie stretched his waist and looked at the distant ship. The expressions of the group of big men who were listening behind them changed a bit, staring at the tall figure holding Qiongying in front of him, and then lowered their heads to contemplate. Before long, some people showed excited eyes, while others nodded in satisfaction, showing a look of complacency.

Pulling the little man in front and turning around, the smell of water brought by the lake wind still makes people feel uncomfortable: "While all brothers are here, let's announce the new position certification here, so as to save the trouble of going to the Juyi Hall."

Everyone standing there had no objection, and Zhu Gui, who was farthest away, was even more secretly delighted. He was basically the last one to arrive at the Juyi Hall every time, which somewhat made him feel embarrassed.

Over there, Qiao Lie took out the brochure, walked to a stone pier and stopped, Qiyun Dantian said: "Now announce the person in charge of the affairs of the village:
Two military advisers in charge of confidential matters: Qiao Lie and Wu Jiao

Counselor military aircraft in charge of important matters of people's livelihood: Liu Min
Two people in charge of money and food: Deng Fei and Wu Li

One member of the Military and Political Department will be rewarded and punished for meritorious service: Pei Xuan
One person in charge of inquiring about the news of surrounding hotels: Zhu Gui
Banquet arrangements and management: Ye Qing and Zhou Darong
Two gunpowder manufacturers: Kou Yan and Sun Dapaozhang

Five people in charge of soldier training: Du Po, Xiao Haili, Xi Sheng, Xie Ning, Tang Bin

One person in charge of welcoming the new year: Song Wan
One person in charge of outbound contact with the Quartet: Yang Lin
There is only one person in charge of Yuanchu Chief Detective: Ma Ling. "

Looking up at the concerned people below, I turned a page: "I waited for a lot of new horses, the original ones and what the Niu Wenzhong brothers got later, totaled more than [-] horses, which can be divided into two battalions now, and the surplus will be distributed to the infantry brothers in the future. The total is as follows:

Two commanders of the Ma Jun: Du Po and Xiao Haili
Four deputy commanders and vanguards of the Ma Jun: Feng Tai, Niu Wenzhong, Niu Gao, Yao Gang

Ma Jun's envoys also went out to spy on eight people: Fang Qiong, An Shirong, Chu Heng, Yu Yulin, Fu Xiang, Wei He, Fei Zhen, Xue Can. "

"Today, there are more than 4000 Zhaibing soldiers. Now we plan to select 3000 people and divide them into eight battalions, and the other [-] people will be organized as Tuntian soldiers. The total is as follows:

The commander of the infantry army is one person: Xi Sheng
Eight commanders of the infantry army: Li Ji, Sun An, E Quanzhong, Xie Ning, Tang Bin, Wen Zhongrong, Cui Ye, Nie Gong

Eight deputy commanders of the infantry: Heng Qi, Jin Bigui, Yan Guang, Tian Ba, Dong Kai, Yu Zhiwang, Song Wan, Ye Qing

There are two commanders of the garrison soldiers: Deng Fei and Wu Li. "

"The water army now has four villages in the southeast, northwest, and five commanders: Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaoqi, Li Bao, and Wei Zhaode.
Five lieutenants under its jurisdiction: Diao Gui, Diao Chun, Zhang Jingzu, Han Kai, Liu Ti"

"Wolf Howling Mountain is ruled by one person: Bian Xiang
There are four generals in the Wolf Howling Mountain branch: Liu Yuan, Pan Zhong, Chen Yun, and Huang Shijun. Taking a breath, Qiao Lie closed the booklet, put it in his arms, and jumped off the stone pier.

Below are the former military officers, Du Po, Tang Bin, Feng Tai, and Xi Sheng, who were quick to react. They immediately noticed the difference from the list, and turned their faces to look at Lu Bu in astonishment.

Sun An stood there looking at his old friend thoughtfully, Niu Gao, Wen Zhongrong, Xie Ning and others who were quick-witted also seemed to realize something, although the rest of the people felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't tell.

Lu Bu took everyone's reactions into consideration, and said, "This time the arrangement will be the first. We still have too few people available. It is still the same as before. There are many people who need to hold two positions. If there are new people joining the group in the future, we will arrange again."

He raised his foot to leave, but he fell down again: "Pei Kongmu will be asked to formulate new regulations later, brothers, don't violate them."

Everyone arched their hands and responded loudly. Those who are in charge of internal affairs and the leaders of the navy left happily after taking their new positions. The leaders of the horse and infantry armies held back their enthusiasm for each other, and prepared to act quickly when they were about to select candidates.

Lu Bu didn't care about the undercurrent among these people under his command. Pei Xuan, who was in charge of supervision, went to watch them.

They called Qiao Lie, Wu Jiao, Liu Min, and Ma Ling, and led Qiu Qiongying back to the study with a big hand, and asked Qiongying to practice the basic skills outside, and ordered Ma Ling to supervise, and then sat down with the three military advisers: "The matter of farming must be done as soon as possible. It is about to enter the summer season, and there is no time for food. It is better to grow some fast-growing vegetables and dry them for storage. They can also be eaten in winter."

Seeing her elder brother frowning, Liu Min immediately comforted her and said, "Don't worry, elder brother, my younger brother has ordered people to plan the fields, and the land can be reclaimed immediately after the soldiers selected for farming."

Wu Jiao also said: "Pin Dao has ordered Yan Guang to go back and talk to those pious lay Buddhists. Brother, don't worry, there will be news in a few days."

"That's the best." Lu Bu nodded and looked at Qiao Lie aside: "A certain person said before he went to Hedong that he wanted to clear the nearby villages that had not been surrendered to increase manpower. Do you have a goal now?"

Qiao Lie nodded, walked to the map on the side and said: "It has been found out that the four prefectures of Yun, Ji, Pu, Qi and the Guangji Army do not have any threatening forces. Now that Wu Daoyou has also joined the group, Yanzhou is also fine."

Swiping his finger, pointing to two place names back and forth, he said: "Now there are several villages in Qingzhou, Yizhou, Danzhou and Xuzhou, which have grown up. There are seven or eight hundred people at least, and one or two thousand people at most. I want to save a lot of money and food."

Lu Bu's heart moved, and he unexpectedly remembered the character test at the Daming Mansion before, touched his chin and said: "So, let's take these two places as the target, and choose one to swallow first."

"If my brother wants to choose a place to swallow, Pindao would suggest starting from Yizhou." Wu Jiao stroked his short beard with a smile and said, "If Yizhou is once in a while, we will form a double-team situation against Shanzhou and Xuzhou below, and Qi, Zi, Qing, and Mizhou above will be blocked by us. No matter who wants to pass through our sphere of influence, we have to see brother's face."

Lu Bu nodded, shook his head again, and sighed: "What Mr. Wu said is true, and I think so too. He said, let the people below make more preparations, drill the recruits, and wait until the middle of next month, when the troops will send to Yizhou and take them down."

Looking out of the window at Qiongying who was struggling to stand on her horse, Lu Bu suddenly smiled: "Everything will be fine."
