Chapter 342 Little Son-in-Law (please subscribe!)

...

After recruiting troops in Tangyin County, Li Yan took Lu Junyi, Lin Chong, and Wu Song whom Li Yan specially recruited to meet Mr. Zhou Tong, a Shaanxi hero with an iron arm, and thank him for cultivating so many talents for him.

The old man highly praised Li Yan for saving the lives of countless people on both sides of the Yellow River, but he refused Li Yan's invitation to serve as the head coach of the Liangshan Army.

The old man made it clear that he was too old and in poor health, so he would not work for Li Yan.

Li Yan didn't force it either, the old man's situation was indeed not very good.

After encouraging Zhou Yunqing, Zhou Tong's son, Li Yan said to Zhou Yunqing, "If you want to be an official, you can come to me."

The old man understood that Li Yan was helping him arrange a way out for his son.

The old man was very grateful to Li Yan, and personally taught Li Yan Zhou Tong's stick technique for three days. During this period, he gave Li Yan, Lu Junyi, Lin Chong, Wu Song, Yue Fei, Zhang Xian, Tang Huai, Yue Fan and others his understanding of martial arts.

Li Yan benefited a lot.

Before leaving, Li Yan asked Niu Gao to leave Zhou Yunqing with 100 taels of gold, a good horse, and several high-quality Korean ginseng plants, so that the old man could enjoy his old age in peace.

After bidding farewell to Mr. Zhou's family, Li Yan took the recruits and their families recruited from Tangyin County to Xiangzhou to join the recruits and their families recruited from other recruiting sites.

Because the recruiting points are far and near, it took more than 20 days to gather everyone together.

According to subsequent statistics, a total of more than 3000 recruits were recruited from 19 recruiting sites, and more than [-] recruits' family members.

Considering that Taiwan County is still in the land reclamation stage and the conditions are very harsh, Li Yan, Lehe and others discussed and planned to send troops to send all the families of the recruits to Yangkou Port, and then send them to the city that is currently developing very well by the Sun Never Set Fleet. The city of Seoul is properly settled.

The separation is imminent, and it is indispensable to be inseparable.

But there is no way to do this, it is all for survival, in this period when everyone can't eat enough, how can there be a choice?
……

The affairs of the Daming Mansion are progressing very smoothly, and it is now nearing completion, only some food and less important supplies are left to be transported back to Liangshan Dazhai.

This part of food and supplies can be transported back in ten days and a half months at most, and then the Liangshan Army can withdraw from Daming Mansion.

Thanks to the fact that Xu Guanzhong recruited 40 million people in Daming Mansion to act as civilian husbands, and organized craftsmen to build tens of thousands of rooster carts, it took less than three months to evacuate Daming Mansion.

Of course, this is also related to the unprecedented strength of the Liang Shanshui Army. Otherwise, no matter how many civilians and rooster carts there are, it is impossible to be evacuated by the huge Daming Mansion in such a short period of time.

During the period when Li Yan left Daming Mansion, it was not that the government army did not send reinforcements to rescue Daming Mansion.

Not to mention the small reinforcements in the counties near Daming Mansion.

Unwilling to reconcile, Cai Jing recommended 1 troops led by General Shengshui Shan Tinggui and Shenhuo General Wei Dingguo in Lingzhou to wipe out the "Erlong Mountain bandits" in Daming Mansion.

However, without exception, these reinforcements were all driven back by Xu Guanzhong, and Shan Tinggui and Wei Dingguo were captured alive and persuaded to surrender.

Xu Guanzhong is so capable, and the Daming Mansion has 5 troops from the Liangshan Army. In addition, the affairs over there are almost done, so Li Yan simply handed over the affairs of the Daming Mansion to Xu Guanzhong, and Li Yan took the First Army and More than [-] new troops returned to Liangshan Dazhai.

Li Yan's movement is so big, it is naturally impossible for no one to know, but this is a [-] army crossing the border, and it is too late to worry, who dares to care?Even some conscientious officials reported to the imperial court, but there was no reply like a stone sinking into the ocean.

After traveling on the road for more than ten days, the army came to the territory of Lingzhou.

Li Yan looked at the sky, and it was already noon, so he asked people to stop to bury the pot for cooking.

Unlike the usual two meals a day at this time, in order to keep the soldiers of the Liangshan Army in good health and because there was no shortage of food, Li Yan stipulated that the soldiers of the Liangshan Army had three meals a day.

This is also one of the attractions of the Liangshan Army - it is not easy to be able to eat enough now, and the Liangshan Army still has three extravagant meals a day. Who wouldn't want to join the Liangshan Army?

Whenever he was in the army, Li Yan ate the same food as the soldiers and never made specializations. The same was true for all the generals in Liangshan, and Li Yan also wrote this into the military regulations and set an example.

Of course, in order to ensure the absolute safety of Li Yan and Liangshan army officials, and to ensure that the meals of Li Yan and Liangshan army officials will not be poisoned, the meals of Li Yan and Liangshan army officials are cooked separately.

As soon as Li Yan picked up the bowls and chopsticks, Ruan Xiaoqi led Shi Qian in, the commander of the confidential special forces. After the establishment of the First Army, Li Yan added the confidential special forces to the First Army, responsible for spying on intelligence, behind enemy lines, destroy.

Shi Qian directly reported: "The outpost has found out that Erlong Mountain is attacking Zengtou City in the southwest."

Li Yan said differently: "Erlong Mountain attacked Zengtou City? Who brought people to fight?"

Shi Qian said: "It's Chao Tianwang, who led Liu Tang, Bai Sheng and more than a dozen leaders of Erlong Mountain."

Li Yan thought in his heart: "Chao Gai attacked Zengtou City... Doesn't that mean that Song Jiang is going to attack Chao Gai..."

Li Yan asked again: "How many days did you fight?"

Shi Qian said: "It should be five or seven days."

Li Yan also forgot on which day Chao Gai was ambushed, and then he was shot by someone's medicine arrow.

Li Yan thought for a while, and then told Ma Ling: "Notify the relevant personnel to come to my place for a combat meeting."

Just as Ma Ling was about to get out of Li Yan's tent, Li Yan said again: "Call Yue Fei, Yao Xing and the commanders of the battalions."

Not long after, all relevant people came to Li Yan's place.

Li Yan asked Shi Qian to introduce the situation of Erlong Mountain's attack on Zengtou City, and then said straight to the point: "I want to conquer Zengtou City, you guys come up with a feasible plan."

Le He looked at the map for a while, and said: "You can use a plan to hit the east and the west."

Li Yan asked: "How do you attack the east and the west?"

Le He said: "Because Zengtou City doesn't know our army is coming, send the army around to prepare for an assault, and at the same time let the more than 5 new troops feint from the front while taking advantage of the night, we should be able to defeat Zengtou in one battle. city."

Yuan Zhongliang was a little worried: "The recruits have not been trained, can they do this feint?"

Yue Fei said: "As long as the regular army cooperates, the young general will guarantee that the recruits can complete the feint attack mission!"

Li Yan asked: "Any other suggestions?"

Hu Yanzhuo said: "According to what the military adviser said, we can fight once, even if we don't go to Zengtou City. We have [-] troops, plus the troops from Erlongshan. It is only a matter of time before we take down a small Zengtou City. But there is one thing, we should be on guard against Zeng Toushi finding out that we are feinting."

Le He said: "That's right, as long as they send out a battalion of horsemen, the fifty thousand unarmed recruits will fall apart in an instant, and we will have unexpected losses."

Li Yan thought for a while, and felt that there was no loophole, and said: "I order: Yu Chengjun and Tie Futu stay behind to cooperate with the recruits in a feint attack and protect the safety of the recruits. The rest of the troops follow me to attack Zengtou City!"

　PS: I saw the comments saying that the protagonist did a little too much, so I rewrote this chapter overnight.

　　Let me talk about my original thoughts. I originally thought that Yue Fei is now a white man, and he is only seventeen or eighteen years old. It is too difficult to train 5 horses, so I want to cheer him up. The protagonist has many children, so there is no need to waste it. The most important thing is that this can eliminate the possibility of Yue Fei surrendering to the Song Dynasty. After all, the protagonist is going to rebel, and Yue Fei is loyal to the Song Dynasty.

　　But you're right, it's a bit urgent to do this now, after all Yue Fei hasn't done any meritorious service yet.

　　So, I rewrote overnight.

　　By the way, in fact, I originally wanted to delete it, and I will post a chapter today, but the VIP chapter cannot be deleted, so I can only rewrite it overnight.

　　Because I was too anxious, I don't know if there is a typo. If anyone sees it, please remind me and I will correct it.

　　By the way, I won't change the chapter name. If I want to change it, I have to find an editor. I don't want to bother her.
