Water Margin people

"I said he was a wealthy businessman passing by. Do you understand that other people have money? Money can make all the difference. What does it mean to take away one woman from the church? It is not difficult to take away ten!"

Sun Lei said, as long as you have money in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, you can buy an official position, let alone a daughter of a criminal.

Han Shizhong turned around with a gloomy face and was about to leave. He promised Liang Hongyu that after the war, he would help her get rid of her crime and return her freedom.

"By the time you go to Jingkou from here, I'm afraid she will be married a long time ago! Maybe she will be pregnant with the child. This was a few months ago!"

Sun Lei stopped Han Shizhong.

Han Shizhong's legs felt as if they were filled with lead. He didn't expect that the farewell to Jingkou would be forever.

"Look at your virtue! Take it and go to Liangshan Town to find Zhu Gui at You Gui Restaurant. I have managed to get him to Liangshan Town!"

Sun Lei took out a waist card and threw it to Han Shizhong.

"you……"

Han Shizhong caught the waist card and was a little slow to recover.

"I'm helping you, so don't thank me. I like to do good deeds every day!"

Sun Lei said with a smile.

Before Han Shizhong could speak, Sun Lei waved him away.

"Brother, are you so cheap to this kid?"

Shi Qian chuckled and followed, smiling like a coward.

In Shi Qian's opinion, there should be something rare to live in at this time. Since Han Shizhong likes Liang Hongyu, he will use this to let Han Shizhong go to Liangshan. He knows very well that Sun Lei intends to win over Han Shizhong, otherwise he would not be so interested in Han Shizhong.

"Cheap? How can we take advantage of Liangshan's advantages so easily?"

Sun Lei smiled.

"Brother is this?"

Shi Qian was a little confused.

"Liang Hongyu's current status is shady. The daughter of a prison officer escaped from the Jiaofang Division and had an affair with a military general. If this was reported, neither Han Shizhong nor Liang Hongyu would be able to reap the consequences, so Liang Hongyu had to remain anonymous for a long time. We can only stay on our territory in Liangshan."

Sun Lei said with a smile, Han Shizhong is not an ordinary person, and forcing him to win over may be counterproductive.

"My elder brother is still thoughtful, but my younger brother is too rough!"

Shi Qian said with a smile.

"Okay, go about your business! The army will return to Liangshan soon, and the matters at the Xijin Mansion must be settled."

Sun Lei waved his hand and asked Shi Qian to leave. The Liangshan army had already cleared out the Yanyun areas in Hebei. Seeing that the New Year was approaching, it was time to go back.

Sun Lei came to the side hall of the palace, and Xu Guanzhong was directing the soldiers to pack the items to be brought back to Liangshan into a truck.

"Commander Xu, have everything been sorted out?"

Sun Lei looked at Xu Guanzhong and asked, "These things are mainly gold and silver jewelry. The collections of the Liao Kingdom for more than a hundred years are all here."

"Brother, there are thousands of carts of gold and silver treasures!"

Xu Guanzhong said with a smile that he had made a fortune this time. With these gold and silver treasures, the food and salary of the Liangshan army would no longer be a problem.

"Yes, take them all back!" Sun Lei nodded. Now their main base is still Liangshanbo. It is safest for these gold and silver treasures to be transported to Liangshan.

"By the way, there are also war horses. Select some and transport them back. The north will temporarily act as a buffer zone."

Sun Lei opened his mouth and said that the north he meant was north of the Yellow River, in the Yanyun area.

"Brother, do we want to give up on Yan Yun?"

Gongsun Sheng and Ma Ling immediately became nervous. All the gold, silver, treasures, horses and food were transported away, as if they were giving up Yan Yun.

"No, since we have captured Yan Yun, we cannot give up!"

Sun Lei shook his head and said, how could he give up what he got?This is not his style!

"You two, my brother also has his own reasons!"

Xu Guanzhong looked at Gongsun Sheng and Ma Ling and said.

"Please see, in this war, Yan Yun's problems were completely exposed. Yanshan is indeed a good barrier, but its flaws are also obvious. There are too many loopholes and it is impossible to prevent it!"

Xu Guanzhong explained, and took out a roll of maps from his sleeve and opened it. He has not been idle these days and has drawn the topography of Yanshan Mountain from the Liaoxi Corridor to Juyongguan. Among them, there are more than ten passable roads in Yanshan Mountain. The roads can be said to be leaky everywhere.

Looking at the map, Gongsun Sheng and Ma Ling also frowned. They also knew this, and Ma Ling had walked through several of these roads.

"There are only two ways to solve this problem. The simplest is the stupid way. Build the Great Wall along Yanshan Mountain and set up passes to prevent enemy sneak attacks! This has also been a common way to deal with northern barbarians since ancient times."

"But the shortcomings are also obvious. Building the Great Wall is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and requires mobilizing a large number of civilians. It is impossible to have a defensive effect within a few years."

"The repair and maintenance of the Great Wall and the stationing of troops in the later period are all problems. The Great Wall is thousands of miles long and has more than a dozen passes. How many troops and horses are required to be stationed for a long time? How much food and grass are needed every year?"

Sun Lei pointed at the map and looked at everyone and asked, "The Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty is powerful. The capital of the country is still in Beiping. The soldiers and horses from all over the country are concentrated on the Yanyun line, but even this did not stop the Qing troops."

The Great Wall is an option but not a good one.

Looking at the defense line drawn on the map, everyone was suddenly silent. This was from Yuguan to Juyongguan. If we continued westward to Shuofang and defended the entire Yanyun, the number of defenders needed would be huge.

"We are bandits. We know one thing very well. You can only be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against a thief for a thousand days. You can never guard against thieves! If you can't guard against them, why should you guard against them?"

Seeing everyone thinking deeply, Sun Lei continued.

"Brother means to take the initiative?"

Xiao Jiasui was the first to react. Sun Lei never liked being passive. Since he was unwilling to defend and give up the territory he had gained, he had no choice but to fight out.

"The Kingdom of Jin wants to expand its territory southward, so why can't we expand its territory northward? Military Master Xu is well versed in geography and humanities. He should know that the north is not a barren land! On the contrary, it is rich in products and very wealthy!"

Sun Lei nodded and said, whether it is Liaodong or the grassland, it is a good place. The Jin Kingdom is eyeing the Central Plains, so he can naturally eye Liaodong.

"My brother is right. The land in Liaodong is fertile. It is a good place to grow anything. There is an endless supply of delicacies and game! The grassland is a good place for herding horses. If there is a grassland, we will no longer be short of war horses!"

Xu Guanzhong said, in the eyes of the Central Plains people, Liaodong is bitter and cold, but the wealth of Liaodong is real.

"So I plan to make Yanyun a buffer zone. It's not that I don't defend, but I want to take the initiative. If Jin comes over once, we will send troops twice to see who is more patient."

"There will be a long period of time after which Yanyun will strengthen its walls and clear the country. Villages and towns will be outlawed. Everyone will enter the city to live. Farming will be carried out uniformly around the city. Once the Jin army crosses the border, they will enter the city and defend it, waiting for reinforcements."

Sun Lei talked about his plan, just like this war, the Jin Kingdom sent [-] troops to cross the border. Without equipment, there was no harvest, and more than half of them were killed or injured. This is the way to fight, and this is how the Jin Kingdom's army will fight when it comes. .Beat them several times to let the Jurchens know how powerful they are, and naturally they will not dare to cross the border easily.
