Lord: Start with a book of Water Margin

Chapter 436: Red Sun Iron Gao Yanei

That night, Zhao Zhen held a banquet to entertain everyone. On the next day, Zhang San and Li Si accompanied them to the newly built Liangshan City, watching the hustle and bustle of the market, the palaces, pavilions and temples, and strolling around for fun.

Today is the twelfth lunar month. Zhao Zhen took out the Tiangang Disha Order, spent 31 points of luck, and used both the Tiangang Disha and ordinary summons, hoping to gather all the people in the Tiangang Disha Order.

Unfortunately, things went against one's wishes, and the people summoned by the Tiangang and Disha were not from the stars.

In the twelfth month, 20 points of luck were consumed. Shi Wengong, the [White Horse and Silver Spear] of Lingzhou, heard of the reputation of [Little Mengchang] Zhao Zhen and came to join him.

Consume 10 points of luck. [Double Swords] Su Ding heard that Liangshan County was recruiting talents, so he came to join it.

Zhao Zhen looked at the still dim stars on the Tiangang Disha Order and couldn't help but sigh. Ever since he knew that he had to gather the stars, Zhao Zhen was very concerned about it. After all, the goddess Xuannv once said that she was the reincarnation of the star master and would be able to ascend to the Purple Palace again one day.

Because Chen Xizhen is back, Cheng Wan'er didn't delay and sent someone to propose marriage early today. The wedding is scheduled for the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month. The mountain is on fire, the star is on the sun and the horse is on the moon, the moon is empty and the heart is sacred, and the four phases are blue dragons, which is auspicious.

Zhao Zhen took the gift list sent by Zhao Yuanli. The wealth sent by Gou Huan and Liu Tong was mostly gold, silver, silk and other things. In addition to these, the gifts sent by Liu Tong contained a lot of red sun iron.

After Zhao Zhen looked at it, he realized that although this Red Sun Iron was not a high-level treasure, it was not an ordinary iron stone.

Red Sun Iron (There is a mountain in Yizhou. In the mountain there is a stone that is ochre red in color. When burned, it turns into iron. When used as a weapon, it is tougher than steel)

Among the gifts sent by Gou Huan, there were also two advanced red ganoderma, one second-level and one third-level.

After reading it, Zhao Zhen immediately called Liu Tong, Tang Long and Tao Zongwang.

Zhao Zhen pointed at the Red Sun Iron that Liu Tong had sent him and said, "Brother Tang Long, take a look at this iron."

Tang Long took the iron in his hand, weighed it carefully, and knocked it against each other to listen. Then he said, "Sir, this iron is very good. It is as good as a hundred-forged iron."

Zhao Zhen listened, nodded and asked, "Brother Liu Tong, where did you get this Red Sun Iron?"

Liu Tong heard this and said, "Sir, this iron is from Zhuhu Mountain. I didn't know there were iron stones on the mountain. Later, a blacksmith came up the mountain and told me that the iron ore on the mountain is called Red Sun Iron Ore. It took a long time to smelt iron in the furnace to get this iron. I mixed it with a piece of meteorite iron and cast this Hundred Refinement Goose Feather Knife. After the knife was cast, it was indeed tough. But it was too difficult to smelt this iron ore, so the furnace was never opened again. The remaining Red Sun Iron was kept in the warehouse, and there are only these. I think this iron is a good material for casting weapons, so I sent it here. If you think it's good, I will go back and smelt it again."

Zhao Zhen asked: "How much red sun iron ore is there?"

"Sir, this Zhuhu Mountain is named after the ochre-red stone that stands like a hu. There is no grass growing on the tops of the neighboring mountains. During thunderstorms, the mountain is like a thunder prison. The blacksmith on the mountain once said that this mountain is an ironstone mine. Unfortunately, the mountain road is rugged, making mining inconvenient, and smelting is difficult, so no one has come to compete for it for many years."

Tang Long heard this and said, "Although this kind of iron ore is difficult to cast, it is excellent material for casting weapons."

Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "I called you two brothers for this matter. Now the Military Equipment Bureau is under the charge of Brother Hou Jian, and the [Repair Camp] is under the jurisdiction of the state and is under the command of Brother Xiao Rang. You two brothers are just going to Zhuhu Mountain. First, you can work with Brother Liu Tong to control the area around Zhuhu Mountain and Jieyun Ridge. Second, you also need to dig and smelt the ore in the mountain, and then transport it back to the Military Equipment Bureau to forge weapons."

After hearing this, Tang Long, Tao Zongwang and Liu Tong all nodded in agreement.

"In addition to the [Golden Spear Capital] who will go with you two, the Black Tiger Temple Town will also allocate 200 miners to go with you. I will also let Xiao Rang assign a group of [Repair Camp] soldiers to build a camp on the mountain. You can see who else you need help?" Zhao Zhen continued.

Tao Zongwang said, "Sir, my brother Tang Long and I are both rough men. We are good at managing soldiers, but I am afraid we cannot manage the miners and the surrounding villages well."

As he said this, he looked at Liu Tong. Seeing this, Liu Tong also waved his hands and said, "Brother, don't look at me. I can fight with fists and feet and talk about martial arts. I can lead soldiers to fight. But I can't control villages and towns."

Zhao Zhen heard this and said, "It's not a big deal. I'll ask Brother Xiao Rang to pick some capable men to help you. You just need to take good care of the soldiers. As for the minions on Zhuhu Mountain, we'll maintain the status quo and wait until Yizhou is settled. Then we'll train them. We'll dismiss the old and weak, give them land, and select the strong and brave men to form an army."

After hearing this, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had gotten rid of some difficult problem.

In a blink of an eye, it was the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month. On this day, there were hammers and hammers, and Baishi Manor was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, making it very lively. Heroes from all over the country got the news and rushed to Baishi Manor on this day.

Taking advantage of Zhao Zhen's marriage, the civil and military officials of the whole state gathered together. On both sides of the hall, gongs and drums were played, and there were loud noises, laughter, and toasts. The civil and military heroes drank heartily. That night, Zhao Zhen became a bridegroom again, just as:

The small tent is hung with light gauze, the jade skin is flawless, the peony heart is as thick as rouge. The fragrance is praiseworthy, the dew is full of love, and the whispers in the ear are low and cursing. The pretty enemy is too crazy and crushes the flowers on the temples.

For three days in a row, there was a great fanfare, and cattle and horses were slaughtered for the feast.

Zhao Zhen would chat with the other heroes every day and compete with them in spears and sticks. The new heroes would take this opportunity to get to know the old Liangshan warriors.

At night, Zhao Zhen went to Chen Liqing's room and made love with her, full of vigor and vitality.

On the ninth day, the heroes who had nothing to report dispersed and returned to their respective garrisons.

Zhao Zhen of the Yizhou group deliberately stayed behind to the end.

Zhao Zhen first found Wu Yong, and Liu Hui Niang told him in detail about the events at Yuanbi Village and Zhuhu Mountain.

After hearing this, Wu Yong pondered for a moment and said, "The great official is concerned about the attitude of the court, and Song Jiang is unwilling to go against the great official. Now we have reached an agreement. He takes Yizhou and kills Gao Feng to gain a reputation and prepare for the amnesty. We pretend to send troops to recapture Yizhou. Now that we have the brothers of Yuanbizhai, we can act at our convenience."

"Before Song Jiang sends out his troops, ask Brother Gou Huan to raise a banner and send troops to the outskirts of Yizhou to show off their power. Let Gao Feng speak to let the court pay attention to this group of people. As long as Tong Guan hears it, he will definitely take action."

"We just need to wait until we recapture Yizhou Prefecture, and then we can perform a double act with Yuanbi Village. This way, we can deal with Tong Shumi and delay the day so as not to confront Song Jiang."

Zhao Zhen said: "We have discussed this as well, but if this is the case, Yizhou will have to send more people. The two places are separated by Yanzhou, and there will be many obstacles in communication."

Wu Yong said, "Sir, the prefect of Yanzhou has gone to the capital to await punishment. The counties are not under each other's jurisdiction. You have stationed troops in Xianyuan County and Sishui County, and the city walls have been repaired. Many men have been recruited, and now the two counties are under your jurisdiction. These two places are separated from Zhongdu County by Gong County, and there is no general in charge here, so why not station troops. In this way, the two places are connected to the city, and there is the Wen River. If something happens, the soldiers can be quickly sent from Liangshan Water Park to Yizhou along the river."

Liu Hui Niang said, "Military Advisor, your Excellency has discussed this with Xiao Rang, Zhu Wu and others, but how can we station troops in Gong County without causing suspicion in the court?"

Wu Yong said: "That's easy to say. Your Excellency is now also responsible for the expedition against Song Jiang. Recruit more civilians and county soldiers from Gong County, and then let Song Jiang send people to harass him. The county magistrate will naturally ask your Excellency for troops to defend the city."

"I'm afraid Song Jiang has some plans, and he is very polite to us now. When I was in Xintai, he sent people to deliver letters to me. His words were sincere, and those who didn't know him would think we were good brothers."

Zhao Zhen said, "Since he is known as Hu Baoyi and Timely Rain in the Jianghu, he must be a cunning man. As the military advisor said, we have no intention of fighting him, we just need to be on guard. If he can take Yizhou as agreed next year, we will delay the action as he said. If he can really be recruited by the court, with his reputation, he is definitely much better than the officials sent by the court to harm the people."

Wu Yong said, "Why do you say that, sir? Not all of the outlaws that Song Jiang has recruited love the people. The Iron Arhat Fatong and the Drunken Vajra Fahui are the worst offenders. I once heard from the people who fled from Laiwu in Xintai that these two monks were lustful and had robbed countless women from their homes. Song Jiang publicly reprimanded them and fined them some of their salaries, but he refused to punish them. He only compensated the robbed families with some gold and silver."

Zhao Zhen said, "Yesterday I talked with Brother Chao Gai. The prefect of Xingren Prefecture has been replaced. Do you know who the new prefect is?"
