Water Margin Survival

Three days have passed since Wang Jing was captured that day, that is, Seoul at this time.

In these three days, in addition to clearing up and capturing the routs in the city, all the ministries in Liangshan are taking the time to adjust and rest. After all, after a night battle that had to be fought, all ministries have experienced a considerable reduction in staff.Coupled with the continuous raids and battles in the past few months, except for Wang Lun's personal guards, the other field troops have lost the least, and only [-]% of their combat strength is left, let alone the crippled establishment of the Fanluo Army.

Therefore, Wang Lun was not in a hurry to start the next battle.He is waiting, because there are three groups of people who will soon meet in the political, military, cultural, and commercial center of this future peninsula.

However, this city, which is about to usher in major development opportunities, still looks a little deserted now.In front of the restaurants, inns, and various shops in the market, there are basically no people.Even grain stores, which are closely related to the lives of citizens, are mostly closed.

The reason is very simple, Li Ziqian has squeezed out the poor households in this city long ago, and most of the people with purchasing power have turned against them and become Liang Shanbo's opponents.Right now, the servants of the temporary battalion of the Fanluo army are busier than anyone else, trying to catch the fish that slipped through the net.

Depression is a bit of depression, but this is also good, it just gave Liang Shanbo an opportunity to tear down and rebuild.As the so-called "cutting the mess with a sharp knife", these formerly intertwined local forces in Goryeo are only a small group of people in terms of number, but they are the most stubborn targets of hostility to Liangshan (Song Army). If these roots are not completely cut off, Goryeo It is still the old prescription of changing the soup but not the medicine, and it will definitely become the biggest hidden danger of the Liangshan regime in the future.

So look at it from this level.Take the peninsula by force.It is definitely more straightforward than the opponent watching the wind all the way down.There is a ready-made example right now. Hanzi County (formerly Luozhou) under the rule of Qiu Qian is the county with the most resistance to government affairs. The troubles of the other seven counties combined are not as much as that of his county.

Why?It's not because of Han Anren's surrender that the local forces are too big to lose.After all, the edge of the knife can be aimed at the hostile forces without any scruples, but it can't be easily pointed at the descendants.

So this time, after Xiao Jiasui's partial teacher defeated Gyeongsang-do, the most powerful prefect candidate was unable to leave his post because of his heavy responsibilities, and naturally he couldn't even talk about taking office.So Lu Tongpan, the former imperial student who ranked third in Zhenfan County, took a big advantage.He surpassed Qiu Xian and directly became the governor of the new Lintun County covering the entire Gyeongsang Province.

By the way, the eight county magistrates of Zhenfan County and Lu Jiang transferred a total of five people, leaving only Chen Wenzhao, Qiu Xian, and Tixi county magistrate Feng Xi, who were concurrently serving as prefects. The talents recommended by them before they left office were temporarily hired to benefit Xiao Gui and Cao Cao. As for whether these people who Wang Lun was not so sure were suitable for being county magistrates, time would have to test.

If the strange things happened here were detected by the official circles of the Song Dynasty, I don't know if they would laugh at the big teeth of the old men. Anyway, there is probably nothing good to say.After all, going from a white body to a county magistrate is outrageous enough.And it's only a few months after a general judge leaps to the prefect!What's even more outrageous is that there is a shortage of scholars who are officials here, which is simply the biggest anecdote in today's officialdom!

……

"Master Lu, Master Deng, Bai Tiju from the third battalion, and Zhao Paijun from the seventh battalion came to say goodbye!"

On the tower of Nanxun Gate (South Gate of Seoul), Lu Zhishen and Deng Yuanjue, who came over temporarily, were discussing business matters, and it happened that a small military school came to report the news.The two looked at each other.Lu Zhishen said, "Call them up!"

"Senior brother, these two brothers are injured, and it is very inconvenient to move. We two monks should go down to see them!" Deng Yuanjue continued.

Lu Zhishen laughed loudly, and shouted: "Come back! The Sa family and Senior Brother Deng will go meet them!"

Seeing this, the small school led the way. Lu Zhishen and Deng Yuanjue went down the tower, only to see two pale-faced men standing at the city gate.The two were quite surprised to see Lu Zhishen and Deng Yuanjue coming, they hurriedly limped forward to salute, Lu Zhishen waved his hand.Said: "They are not members of our Crazy Devil Army anymore. How can you still give a military salute? Can you stand? Come on, bring a stool for the two brothers!"

"Master, stand up, stand up!"

Just because Lu Zhishen didn't like others calling him General, Dutong, etc., so most of the army called him Grand Master, even Deng Yuanjue was not called General, but Baoguang Tathagata didn't care about such small things.

"It's good to stand! Although you are not members of our army now, we are still brothers in a cottage! If we go to a place in the future, we must be able to stand firmly! Don't fall into the prestige of our army! ! If you oppress the common people, corrupt the law, don’t say that Pei Xuan can’t tolerate you, even my brother and I can’t forgive you!” Deng Yuanjue warned, reversing the old attitude of not being interested in anything a few months ago.

"The villain will bear in mind the teachings of the two masters, and if he goes down, he will never lose face to the Crazy Demon Army!" Both of them expressed their opinions.To be honest, they didn't want to leave the barracks to become the captain of Laoshizi County, but unfortunately, life is often unsatisfactory. Before they came to Seoul, the two of them suffered some serious injuries by accident, and they have been raised in Huitian Camp. Although it is not harmful to life, it is obviously not suitable to stay in the frontline combat team.

Lu Zhishen nodded, and took a bench from the little principal who was going to get it. He looked rough, but he was careful, knowing that he would not sit on the two brothers opposite him.

Sure enough, Lu Zhishen and the understanding Deng Yuanjue sat down first, and these two people sat down during the greeting, only to hear Lu Zhishen ask: "How are your injuries? Why are you so eager to leave? The Sa family remembers that you have not recovered from your injuries for more than a month?"

"The injury is not serious. Doctor Du personally diagnosed it. Now the prefect Lu of Lintun County is in a hurry. It happens that there is a boat going to Jeju Island from the wharf of Ren County (Incheon). Those of us who are not seriously injured will be taken by Master Zhu. It is estimated that when he arrived at the place, his injuries would be fully healed!" Bai Tixia seemed to be more talkative than Zhao Paijun, and he was usually the one who answered the general's questions.

"Hmm!" Lu Zhishen nodded thoughtfully. Since the doctor in Huitian Camp personally diagnosed him, there should be no hindrance to the journey. The journey is by boat, so it doesn't need to waste energy, but it is also appropriate.He was stunned, but Deng Yuanjue asked with some interest: "I just heard that you are going to be a county captain in the county. I don't know which two counties?"

"The villain is Dongyu County, the first county in Lintun County. The county magistrate is concurrently held by Lu Taishou. Zhao Paijun is from Cantai County. I heard that the county magistrate's surname is Zu!" Bai Tijue replied respectfully.Although he had only worked under Deng Yuanjue for less than two months, he was quite congenial with Lu Zhishen, the leader of the Mad Demon Army. subdue him.

"Dongxi County seems to be the Gyeongju of Goryeo in the past, right? People say Gyeongsang-do and Gyeongsang-do, and they use the name of the first county. But where is this Cantai County?" The two men were in the army.One has reached the Tijutsu, and the other is the current Paijun. Although they are both county lieutenants, one is in the first county, and the other is in an unknown county. This kind of distribution based on seniority is reasonable.Just because he was not familiar with the organizational system of Lintun County, Deng Yuanjue looked back at Lu Zhishen and asked.

"Candai County is Jinju, which was brought down by the warlords. It is next to Zhenfan County, and it is also close to Jeju Island. Dongying is a little farther away. In the southeast corner of this peninsula, there used to be Tokyo set up by Goryeo! "Lu Zhishen has been in the Western Army since he was a child, and his military history is much longer than Deng Yuanjue's, so he is generally more sensitive to the geographical location of the theater.

"So that's how it is!" After Lu Zhishen explained his doubts, Deng Yuanjue suddenly realized, and touched his blue-glowing scalp.To the first two subordinates who did not have a deep friendship, he said: "The county magistrate surnamed Zu is probably Zu Shiyuan. He and General Lu are both from the southeast, and I have a relationship with them. I will be with you later. Zhang Mingtie, if there is any difficult problem that cannot be solved, feel free to go to them!"

Bai Tixia said that he and Zhao Paijun looked at each other, and they could see a hint of joy from the other's face. Since Deng Yuanjue and their two new bosses have a fellowship, the feeling in their hearts that they are about to go to a strange place to face each other The uneasy feeling of being in an unfamiliar environment suddenly eased a lot.I saw the two people hurriedly got up and expressed their gratitude to Deng Yuanjue.

"Brother Deng is thinking of you so much, the Sa family can't be left behind. It's just that these civil servants are not familiar with the Sa family, and they don't have much friendship. However, the new Lintun County regiment trainer Leng Ning, the Sa family knows him, so they simply put up a name card with you. Go to the place and do things boldly, don't forget the teachings of the village master! Don't wait for the general to come before Pei Xuan, blame the Sa family for not speaking for you!"

Leng Ning is the third head of the Yanshan branch of the Yellow River Estuary, the right-hand man of Jin Baozi Yang Lin.Back then, he voted in Liangshan with Niu Geng on the way the Liangshan men and horses fetched firewood into their small village.After the two men went up to the mountain, they never had a clear position as the leader. Later, when the garrison formed the Zhenfan and Lintun local garrison, the two were recommended by Yang Lin, and they finally made it through. At the same time, both were promoted to the training envoys of the two counties regiment.

"Report! A cavalry soldier was found [-] miles ahead, the number of which was close to a thousand, approaching me under the banner of the Tenth Infantry Army!"

The four of them were chatting when they suddenly saw three or five scouts galloping back.Seeing this, Deng Yuanjue and Lu Zhishen looked at each other, and said, "The cavalry team of the Ma brothers?"

"It should be to escort the military division here!" Lu Zhishen said, and then ordered the scouts: "Investigate again!"

"When will the navy ship leave?" Deng Yuanjue asked at this moment.

"Leave early tomorrow morning, but Ren County still has tens of miles of land, and it is estimated that we will leave in the afternoon. However, at noon, the marshal will personally set up a drink with our brothers who are going to the local government at the Protectorate's Mansion!" Bai Tijue replied.

"You two boys, you really have a good taste! At the celebration banquet that broke the city that day, the family didn't even smell a drop of wine!" Lu Zhishen heard the word wine, and licked his chapped lips, presumably because he was greedy (wine ) bugs.

Deng Yuanjue laughed loudly, nodded to the two of them and said, "Go and say goodbye to the brothers yourself, I will order people to send the name cards to the Duhu Mansion!"

Hearing this, the two got up to say goodbye, and said many things in their hearts before leaving.If Lu Zhishen is a righteous man, as long as he does not commit crimes, he will take good care of his subordinates, so when these two big men are about to bid farewell to such a good boss, they feel unspeakable reluctance.Even though the position of county lieutenant was a shackle they couldn't touch before, compared with their current military careers, both of them were reluctant to leave from the bottom of their hearts.If it weren't for the fact that these two men were educated among the wounded soldiers (having attended a private school for two days), they might have remained in the ranks as instructors for recruits, a position they had fought hard for.

Lu Zhishen felt uncomfortable watching the tearful and other two big men go. Deng Yuanjue persuaded: "They are going to be officials close to the people, and it's not a parting of life or death. Brother, let's see it! In the future, there will be more people with them around me." I don’t know how many times I will be sad for the same person! According to my younger brother, the more people who go to the place, the brighter the prospect of our cottage! This is a good thing!”

What Deng Yuanjue said was reasonable, but Lu Zhishen didn't say a word for a while, contrary to his straightforwardness just now.Just looking at the direction where the two left so meticulously, it looks like the head of a family watching a wanderer leave home.Deng Yuanjue sighed and didn't speak anymore, just stood silently by Lu Zhishen.
