Reborn Wu Dalang

Chapter 110 Craftsman

"Do you want to notify Shi Xiu?" Wu Yong asked halfway.

"The governor has already said that the Hedong theater is now facing the threat of war, and the imperial army may encircle and suppress the Hedong theater. Shi Xiu manages the intelligence of the Hedong theater, it is best not to come." Zhu Gui said.

At the beginning, Wu Dong wanted Shi Xiu to participate in this matter.Because when he was in Hedong, Shi Xiu's cleverness left a deep impression on him, and Wu Dong felt that Shi Xiu was more suitable for intelligence work than Zhu Gui and Cao Zheng.But later, thinking about the current situation in the Hedong theater, he temporarily changed his decision and stopped letting Shi Xiu participate in this matter.

"Well, with us here, it should be enough to complete this task." Wu Yong said.

"Scholar Wu, it's actually easy to invite people, but it's not so easy to bring people out of Bianliang City. I wonder if you have a good way?" Zhu Gui said.

"Of course there is a way. When I was on the boat, I already came up with a clever plan." Wu Yong said.

"I don't know what to do?" Zhu Gui asked in surprise.

"I can't tell you this for the time being. When you get to Bianliang City, you invite the people from the Du Zuoyuan out, and I will be responsible for bringing everyone out of Bianliang City." Wu Yong said.

Wu Yong felt a little ruthless in his heart. He was the director of the Operations Department, but the staff members of the Operations Department looked down on him, which made him very upset.Now he is almost emptied in the combat department. All the battle plans are drawn up by Hua Rong, the commander of the army, and he can hardly intervene.This time he finally encountered the Goryeo War, and he was about to show off his skills, but he was sent to Bianliang City to invite some craftsmen.Wu Yong felt that he had to show his prowess and bring all the craftsmen from Duzuoyuan to Korea, so that he could show his skills, so that others would not dare to underestimate him in the future.

Not long after I came to Bianliang City, it was still so prosperous.

After Wu Yong entered Bianliang City, he felt a little dizzy. The various scenery and crowds made him dizzy.

"Wu Xuexue, let's check the specific situation of Duzuo Academy?" Zhu Gui said.

"You go first... I don't know martial arts, and it won't work if I go there. You investigate the situation over there, come back and tell me, and I will formulate corresponding measures to recruit people." Wu Yongdao.

Zhu Gui thought for a while, and felt that Wu Yong's words were also good, and said immediately: "Wu Xuexue, I'll let someone follow you, don't rush around, you must come back at night."

Liangshanbo has several strongholds in Bianliang City, two of which are large inns newly opened by Cao Zheng.After deciding on the meeting place, Zhu Gui left with a group of secret agents and headed towards the capital.

******

The entire Bianliang City is divided into three parts: the outer city, the inner city, and the imperial city. The outer city is populated by ordinary people, and the inner city is where the imperial court’s government offices are located. The imperial city is naturally the place where the emperor lives.

The defense of the imperial city is the strictest, followed by the inner city, and the outer city is the worst.

Duzuoyuan was originally an extremely important place, but because there are all craftsmen inside, making weapons and ordnance every day requires a lot of space and there is a lot of noise, so Duzuoyuan was placed in the outer city.

However, although they are all located in the outer city, their defenses are extremely tight.

Zhu Gui led people to look at the Duzuo courtyard from a distance, and saw a building there, and there were many soldiers in front of the building.Although the discipline of these soldiers is very loose, there are a large number of them, almost reaching the point where there is one guard at three steps and one sentry at five steps.

"There are a lot of soldiers here." Cao Zheng said.

"At least 500 people, maybe more." Zhu Gui said.

"I'm afraid it's impossible to invite the craftsman back from here?" Cao Zheng said.

"That's natural, but we can go to the place where the craftsman lives, and there shouldn't be many defenses there," Zhu Gui said.

Cao Zheng nodded, thinking it was the reason.

They have been guarding here, and when the sun was setting, finally a craftsman came out from the capital.These craftsmen are all heading in one direction, and seem to live in one place.

"Follow these people." Zhu Gui hurriedly said.

At present, several masters followed these people quietly, walked for about half an hour, almost came to the edge of the city wall, and finally a low building appeared in front of them, which looked dilapidated.

There are many children playing around these buildings, and these children are also dressed in extremely simple clothes.The weather in February and March is still a bit cold, but the children here are actually wearing single clothes.Some children have cold noses, but they are very happy to play.

Seeing those craftsmen coming back, these children cheered and rushed forward. It turned out that these children were the children of those craftsmen.

It was getting dark, and Zhu Gui, Cao Zheng and the others were not found. Zhu Gui frowned and said, "Didn't the governor say that the craftsmen of the Duzuo Academy are extremely important? But why do they live so hard? Look at the place where they live. Judging by their children's clothes, they may not be as good as ordinary people."

In fact, all the craftsmen in Duzuoyuan belonged to the "artisan family". In the Song Dynasty, the craftsman households were incorporated into the military households. The court could recruit these people at any time, and these people could not refuse.Their craftsmanship is handed down from generation to generation, but because they serve the imperial court, no matter how good the craftsmanship is, they can't get enough rewards, so the living conditions of these people are extremely poor.

The two checked here, and found that it was no different from ordinary houses, and there were no soldiers guarding it.

The two were relieved at the moment, Zhu Gui said: "It's easy to invite these people away, but it's not so easy to take them out of Bianliang City. It depends on what Wu Xueyuan can do."

Before coming, because Wu Dong attached great importance to this matter, the two of them greatly overestimated the difficulty of this task.Now it seems that the difficulty is not as high as imagined.The imperial court attached great importance to the Duzuo Academy. There were soldiers standing guard everywhere, but the imperial court did not pay much attention to these craftsmen. The living conditions of these craftsmen were extremely poor. Apart from not being able to leave Bianliang City, there were no other restrictions.Now let's see how Wu Yong takes these people away.

The two returned to the agreed hotel that night, and waited for a long time, but Wu Yong never came back.In the early morning of the next day, Wu Yong still hadn't come back, and the two of them suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Could it be that academician Wu is in danger?" Zhu Gui felt uneasy.

"I have already sent people to look out for Wu Xuexue, but they have not found any trace of Wu Xuexue. In addition, the two people who followed him yesterday have not returned yet. Where did he go?" Cao Zheng was also very disturbed.
