Chapter 463 Invitation to Fight

However, Zhao Zhen stayed in Xintai for two days. After meeting with Jie Zhen and Jie Bao, who were sent by Wu Xuejiu from Yiyuan, he took the captured captives from Xintai City and rushed to Liangshan.

When passing through Pingyi, they separated half of the captives and had Tao Zongwang, who was waiting there, escort them to Zhuhu Mountain to mine.

Zhao Zhen and his entourage hurried back to Liangshan on the day before New Year's Day. After settling in, Xiao Rang and his men came up to Zhao Zhen without waiting for him to rest.

After greeting, Xiao Rang said, "Sir, these two warriors are Shi Wengong, the [White Horse and Silver Spear], and Su Ding, the [Dual Swords]. Warrior Shi Wengong competed with Wang Tianba of the Southern Camp and did not lose a single bit."

After hearing this, the two men knelt down again. Shi Wengong said, "I am Shi Wengong, a wanderer. I used to be a teacher in Zengtou City in Lingzhou. Later, I found out that this elder Zeng was a Jin countryman. I also heard that Liangshanzhou was recruiting talents to suppress bandits and defend the land. So, I and my brother Su Ding got rid of Zeng's residence and came to seek refuge with you, sir."

Su Ding also said: "That's right. My brother, whom I met in Zengtou City, came here because he admired Master Shi's martial arts."

Zhao Zhen heard this and immediately helped the two men up, saying, "I am in need of men here. You two have come to me and will be able to use your talents. Would you two brave men be willing to join the army?"

Shi Wengong said, "I have learned a lot of martial arts, but unfortunately I have never been able to use them. Now that I am here with you, I want to show my strengths."

So far, he is the one with the highest martial arts, higher than Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen. Zhao Zhen thought that the fifth level was the limit of this world, but now he has seen a sixth level.

Zhao Zhen said, "My two brave men, you are new here and have no achievements, so you are not qualified for high positions in the army. However, you are both skilled in martial arts, so you cannot start as ordinary soldiers. There will be a martial arts examination in February in the state, and you two brothers can go on stage to compete. With your martial arts, you will be the best. Then you can become a commander and lead a battalion of soldiers. It is legitimate and beyond reproach. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Shi Wengong and Su Ding agreed.

"Don't be idle these days. Please ask the two brothers to be instructors and go to the camp in Wanzi City to train the soldiers. After the martial arts examination, the two brothers can select soldiers and quickly form an army. After the new year, the two brothers will be able to display their bravery in the fight against the Qingzhou bandits."

After seeing the two off, Xiao Rang asked, "Sir, how did you come up with the idea of ​​having these two warriors take the military exam?"

Zhao Zhen said, "I originally wanted to appoint the two of them to lead a battalion of soldiers. We can't have no one to support the imperial examination next year, otherwise it will start well but end badly. With the two of them, this military examination will finally be worth watching."

After hearing this, Xiao Rang nodded in agreement.

Then he asked, "Sir, now that Yizhou is in our hands, what are your plans for the next step?"

Zhao Zhen said: "Although we have occupied Yizhou, we have no shortage of generals to lead the troops. Unfortunately, the local officials are not enough to deal with it. At the beginning, the various places in Liangshan were forced to do it, and they could only support it with difficulty. Until now, the officials in the county offices have not been fully staffed. I just hope that the imperial examination can select a few useful people."

Xiao Rang also sighed, "It's a pity that Mr. Xu Rong didn't invite his cousin Xu Huai."

Zhao Zhen said: "At present, Liu Guang and Kong Hou are in charge of the people in Yizhou, which is enough to deal with some problems. If the court intends to take back Yizhou, we must make preparations early. At that time, we will try our best to move the people in the state to Liangshan State to enrich the counties."

Xiao Rang said: "Don't worry, sir. After the thaw, I will assign the [Repair Battalion] to go to each county and repair the villages. Right now, the court may not necessarily send people to take over Yizhou. Now that sir has made great contributions and the world is not at peace, the court will never destroy the Great Wall at this time."

Zhao Zhen nodded after hearing this.

In two years at most, I will be able to reach the border. By then, I will materialize the place I occupy in the fantasy world, and everything will be fine.

Zhao Zhen asked, "Can Madam Lu and the others adapt?"

Xiao Rang nodded and said, "Mrs. Lu is fair and just, and everyone trusts her. She has properly settled the three villages. Xu Qingniang has already asked people to register the three villages in Liangshan County. However, many people are not good at farming, and there are many who are good at boiling salt. Unfortunately, this state is not near the sea, and there are no salt wells."

Zhao Zhen thought for a moment and said, "Ordinary people are fine, but those who have lost their minds may not be able to regain their wisdom if they cannot do their jobs."

"I once tried to probe Lai Yong'er of Qingzhou. Although he didn't say it explicitly, I know that the Qingzhou bandits intend to attack the prefecture eastward. When the time comes, we will send troops to recapture Ju County, which is adjacent to Yizhou and is by the sea. Explain the pros and cons to Madam Lu and send all these troops to the seaside to boil salt. In the future, there will be no need to purchase sea salt from the Binzhou salt field."

Xiao Rang said: "If so, Madam Lu will definitely agree."

The two talked for a long time. At night, Zhao Zhen held a banquet to entertain Shi Wengong and Su Ding. The commanders of nearby camps came to accompany them. During the banquet, Wang Tianba mentioned that he was defeated by Shi Wengong in fifty rounds. Everyone was secretly surprised when they heard it.

Qin Ming said: "Brother Wang Tianba, are you serious?"

Wang Tianba said: "This is not a matter of honor, how can you talk nonsense?"

Qin Ming said: "Brother Shi Wengong, how about we have a competition?"
