Reborn Wu Dalang

Fang Qiong was patrolling the west wall, and when he heard the shouts of killing were getting smaller and smaller, he gradually felt relieved.

It was already midnight, Fang Qiong was extremely tired after guarding the city for a day, so he found a place to rest.After resting for less than a quarter of an hour, suddenly there was a shout of killing from the south. Fang Qiong was taken aback, and hurriedly sent soldiers to check.

The soldiers hadn't returned yet, and the shouts from the south disappeared again.Fang Qiong didn't take it seriously, thinking that the enemy was attacking the city again, but was repelled, so he lay down and continued to sleep.

Not long after, there was also a cry of killing from the north, but at this time Fang Qiong was already in a deep sleep and didn't notice it at all.

I don't know how long it took, and in a daze, Fang Qiong seemed to hear the sound of weapons colliding outside. He turned over suddenly, and hurriedly opened the door, only to see that there was a big battle outside, and his men were being continuously massacre.

"How... how did the enemy come up?" Fang Qiong couldn't believe it. He didn't feel the slightest omen before, but the enemy came to the city wall, and there seemed to be a huge number of enemies, and his men were obviously not opponent.

"Grandma, why is this happening? Run away quickly." Now Fang Qiong only had this idea.

He hurried back to the house, took the sword, and rushed outside.Along the way, Liangshan soldiers kept blocking him. The sword in his hand slashed straight, killing more than a dozen people, and then fled outside.

But at this time, he was also a little scarred. He dragged his scars and ran forward, and finally came to a small deserted yard.

In the territory ruled by Tian Hu, there are many such deserted small courtyards.Many common people were killed, or starved to death, and the houses were left empty and unoccupied.

He hid in the yard, and he heard the screams and screams outside all night. The city was filled with the smell of blood, and he didn't know how many people were killed.

When he got up in the morning, he was tired and hungry, but he didn't dare to go out. He still hid here, looking for a way to escape.

******

"Lieutenant Hu, all the generals in Gaizhou City are almost dead, only Fang Qiong is left, who seems to have escaped." Shi Xiu came to Hu Sanniang's side and said.

"Keep looking...we must find this person." Hu Sanniang said.

Fang Qiong is the chief general of Gaizhou City. It is not known what kind of threat this person will bring if he escapes, so it is best to find him.

"Our army suffered heavy losses. Nearly 2000 people died in this attack." Shi Xiu said again.

Gaizhou City has 2000 soldiers and horses, and there are tall walls. To conquer such a city, [-] casualties are actually not too many.

But Hu Sanniang was still very uncomfortable. Liangshan had never suffered such a big loss in all these years.When attacking Huashan to rescue Song Jiang, the loss was not so great.Only in her hands did so many people die in Liangshan.

She was silent for a long time, before she said: "Report the news to Weisheng City and tell the governor."

Shi Xiu nodded in agreement, and immediately sent someone to do the job.

On the second day, in Wesheng City, Wu Dong got the news, and told the news to everyone in Wesheng City, everyone was overjoyed.

This time, he successfully conquered Tian Hu's territory, occupied the land of the five prefectures, and obtained a population of nearly 500 million, which can be said to have greatly solved the bottleneck of Liangshan's development.

In the Song Dynasty, the population was extremely large. By the time of Song Huizong, the country had a population of nearly 6500 million.It was not until the Jin people invaded the south and the Southern Song Dynasty that the population dropped to about 5000 million. Later, the Mongols invaded and killed another [-] million Han people. The number of Han people was greatly reduced, and it took hundreds of years for later generations to recover.

The 500 million population in Tianhu's territory is of course not worth mentioning compared to the Song Dynasty, but it is already a large number compared to the Liao and Jin people.The population of the Liao Kingdom, except for some Khitan people, is mostly looted Han Chinese or other foreigners. The population of the Liao Kingdom reached 900 million when it was the largest. Up to now, the population of the Liao Kingdom is only 400 million.As for the Kingdom of Jin, it has just been established, and although many people have been plundered from other places, it is only a few hundred thousand people.

If this place can be well occupied, it can be said that the population of Liangshan has surpassed that of Liao and Jin.

"Although the population of the Liao people and the Jin people is small, they have a lot of soldiers. The Liao people had 120 million soldiers at the time, and the Jin people now have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses... They are nomads. When a man is born, he is a warrior. They are Everyone is a soldier, in contrast, our Liangshan military policy does not mean that everyone is a soldier." Wu Dong laughed.

"No matter what, with such a large population, if it develops, there will be no problem in providing 40 to [-] troops." Zhu Wu laughed.

"I have pity on my majestic Song Dynasty. The population is dozens of times that of the Liao people, the Jin people, and the Xixia people. I have been bullied for hundreds of years. Such a court, it's not that I look down on him, it is too corrupt. If I can rule Da Song... at most ten years, will wipe out all foreign races." Wu Dong said.

Not only the population of the Song Dynasty was dozens of times that of the foreign races in Liao, the economy was also dozens of times that of the foreign races, and the technology, culture, etc. were hundreds of times that of the foreign races, but such a "powerful" Song Dynasty was bullied more and more miserably.When the Liao people only occupied Yanyun... When it came to the Jin people, it only took two years for them to destroy the Northern Song Dynasty. The million troops of the Great Song Dynasty could not stop the [-] Jurchens (and [-] Han people) Servants, the total number will not exceed [-]), the north of the Yellow River was ceded to the Jin people, and the two emperors became prisoners of the Jin people. A dozen daughters and dozens of concubines of the emperor were thrown into the military prostitute camp for gold. People are lewd.When the Mongols came, the north of the Yangtze River was given to others, and after another few decades, the entire Great Song Dynasty was completely ruined.

"What the governor said is that I have often been puzzled over the years. I don't understand why I can't beat the Liao and Jin people with the national strength of the Song Dynasty? Now it seems that only the strategy of the military country that the governor said is the revitalization The way." Zhu Wudao.

It turned out that Zhu Wu admired Wu Dong's "military state" policy very much. Before he joined Liangshan, he realized the power of the military state policy.

Wu Dong couldn't help laughing, he wanted to solve the problem of "rejuvenation", not just a military policy.Of course, this is a shortcut, at least in the military, which can ensure that the country will not be destroyed quickly and the people will not be massacred immediately.

"We have made such a big commotion, the imperial court will definitely know... It's too early to be happy, I don't know if we can hold this territory." Wu Dong said.

"Don't worry, the governor, there is no problem. The officers and soldiers of the court, you know what it looks like. Except for the Northwest Army's combat effectiveness, the rest of the army is not worth mentioning. It is impossible for the Northwest Army to come to Hedong in the winter. Beware of the Xixia people. There are mountains everywhere, and there are majestic passes everywhere. If Tian Hu can defend it, we can naturally defend it too." Zhu Wudao.

The terrain here is really good. With the corruption of the imperial court, it is basically difficult to conquer this place.

"I hope, by the way, I'm going to move the territory of Hedong to Fenyang. Weisheng is not suitable for governance. I don't know why Tian Hu regards it as the capital." Wu Dong said.

Weisheng City has disappeared in later generations, and Wu Dong can't tell where it belongs to later generations. Anyway, it is close to the Yellow River and not far from the border of Shaanxi.The terrain here is not very good. Relatively speaking, Fenyang is located in the middle of Shanxi, with convenient transportation and a much better geographical location.

"The location in Fenyang is indeed much better than here," Zhu Wu said.

Wu Dong nodded, the more he thought about it, the happier he became.Occupying this place, the benefits are too great.

It's nothing more than a large population here, and more importantly, Shanxi has produced strong soldiers and famous generals since ancient times, and it is a good source of soldiers.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, this is where the Five Hegemons of Jin were located.During the Warring States Period, there were famous generals Li Mu and Lian Po here.In the Han Dynasty, Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were both from Shanxi, and Guan Yu, the martial sage who "megatron China" was also from Shanxi.Yu Chigong, Xue Rengui, and Guo Ziyi of the Tang Dynasty were from Shanxi.In the Song Dynasty, Shanxi also produced many famous generals. Di Qing in the early Song Dynasty, and then the generals of the Hu family and the generals of the Yang family were all from Shanxi.

The source of soldiers here is far better than other places. In the era of cold weapons, the source of soldiers is also an important factor for the strength of the army.

In the future, a strong army will definitely be formed here!

"By the way, Bi Sheng and Hu Yanzhuo, have they agreed to surrender?" Wu Dong asked.

"Bi Sheng didn't agree, but Hu Yanzhuo seemed to be moved." Zhu Wu said.

Wu Dong couldn't help laughing. In the original Water Margin, Hu Yanzhuo surrendered to Song Jiang after being arrested, which shows that this person's will is not so firm.As for Bi Sheng, he can slowly surrender. Anyway, when he came to his own territory, Wu Dong had plenty of ways to make them submit.

Immediately said: "Go and invite Hu Yanzhuo here."

So Zhu Wu arranged for someone to bring Hu Yanzhuo up. It was the first time that Hu Yanzhuo saw Wu Dong. He saw that he was a young man, but he had the aura of being in a superior position for a long time, and he looked mighty and extraordinary.

"Governor of Liangshan... finally see you today!" Hu Yanzhuo said, cupping his fists.

"General Huyan, did you treat you badly these days?" Wu Dong said.

Hu Yanzhuo's appearance is also very strange, the biggest feature is his big head and big eyes.Lin Chong has always been called "Leopard Head" in the world, and Wu Dong thinks this nickname is more suitable for Hu Yanzhuo, at least in terms of appearance, it is more suitable for Hu Yanzhuo.

"No, Liang Shan treats me very well, and treats me well every day." Hu Yanzhuo said.

"General Huyan, we just captured Hedong and we need a general to guard it. I wonder if the general is willing to stay?" Wu Dong said.

"This... After all, I am an official of the imperial court, and I am greatly favored by the imperial court..." Hu Yanzhuo hesitated.

"General, the imperial court is corrupt and treacherous ministers are in power. That Tong Guan obviously doesn't know how to use soldiers, but he has become the Northwest Supervisory Army. If Tong Guan hadn't led indiscriminately this time, with the general's chain of horses, we may not be able to fight." Wu Dong said.

"This..." Although Hu Yanzhuo didn't speak, he felt that what Wu Dong said was correct. He was very conceited, thinking that no one in the world could defeat his chain horse.

"General, your subordinates were captured by us, and we released them all later. Those subordinates who did not harm you." Wu Dong said.

This time Liangshan marched lightly and hurriedly. When they were in Huashan, they captured many officers and soldiers, and finally released them all.Everyone is Han Chinese, and it is impossible for Liangshan to kill those captive officers and soldiers, and no one can do such a thing.

Hu Yanzhuo has been worried about his subordinates these days, because he has never seen him since he was captured. He was relieved when he heard this, and said, "Did the governor lie to me?"

"Naturally I didn't lie to you...General Huyan, the same sentence, the court is corrupt, serving the court is not thankful, I hope you can join Liangshan... Also, General Huyan's family, I have sent people from Taiyuan to invite them Already." Wu Dong laughed.
