The expansion was too rapid. Wang Lun also reduced taxes for the people to appease the people and maintained an army of 150,000. This expenditure was not small.
There's a bit of food shortage.
Moreover, of the 24 roads of the Song Dynasty, Qi State only occupies one road, which is too small.
"Everyone is right. Zengtou City is from the Jin Kingdom. He travels to the Central Plains doing business and is worth one hundred thousand gold. Zengtou City covers an area of hundreds of miles and has tens of thousands of people under his command. The spies came to report that Zeng Laoer has just left the Jin Kingdom.
Three thousand horses came. It would be a pity to leave them. I am willing to send troops to destroy Zengtou City. Who is willing to lead the troops?"
Wang Lun's first sight was on Zengtou City. Now there is the Liao Kingdom to the north of the Song Dynasty. The Jurchens in the northeast of the Liao Kingdom have established the Jin Kingdom for several years.
In the future, when the Jurchens go south, people like the Zeng family who were originally from the Jin Kingdom will most likely lead the way, so they should be eliminated as soon as possible.
"Your Majesty, the young general used to be a teacher in Zengtou City and is very familiar with Zengtou City. I have accepted this job."
Sharpshooter Shi Wengong's ears twitched. Among the people present, who is the most familiar with Zengtou City?
It has to be me!
"Know yourself and your enemy and you will be victorious in every battle. I appointed Shi Wengong as the chief general, Qin Ming as the deputy general, Xiao Li Guanghua Rong, Flying Eagle Li Ying, Mu Hong without blocking, Zhen Sanshan Huang Xin, Iron Flute Immortal Ma Lin, and Grimaceer Du Xing as the six partial generals.
Help each other. Lead 20,000 troops to defeat Zengtou City."
Wang Lun personally ordered the generals. Now he has strong soldiers and horses, and a large number of people. He is not afraid of his small Zengtou City.
Hua Rong was originally Song Jiang's subordinate, but he was deceived by Song Jiang. Song Jiang never came to Jeju, leaving him alone to risk his life and assassinate Wang Lun. He was disappointed and was completely treated as an abandoned son.
In addition, Hua Rong's sister was married to Qin Ming. Qin Ming and her sister persuaded each other, and Wang Lun came forward to recruit her.
Hua Rong was so impressed by Wang Lun's generosity that he did not care about his crime of assassination and finally surrendered to Wang Lun.
"Among the nearby state capitals of our Qi State, only Dongchang Prefecture and Dongping Prefecture have some soldiers and horses, and they are also guarded by military officers. As long as these two houses are captured, the other states and counties have nothing to fear, and they can be captured as soon as the soldiers and horses arrive.
"
"Moreover, the second government has sufficient food and grass and a large population, so it must be captured."
"Who is willing to lead the attack?"
Wang Lun looked at the generals again, "If we want to do it, we'll do it with the big ones, three at a time."
In order to relieve the pressure on Jeju, 150,000 soldiers and horses were transferred out.
"The last general is willing to win the Dongping Mansion for my king!" Dadao Guan Sheng followed closely. He was still worried about not being rated as Qilin General. He wanted to make more military exploits in front of Wang Lun and be promoted to the rank as soon as possible.
General Qilin.
"Your Majesty, Lin Chong is willing to take over Dongchang Mansion!"
Lin Chong couldn't sit still anymore. "To be honest, they were originally satisfied with the tiger general. But there was a unicorn general above them, so they were not happy."
If Guan Sheng takes the lead in capturing Dongping Mansion, wouldn't he be at a disadvantage?
"Sajia is going too!"
Lu Zhishen also joined in the fun.
"I'm going too!"
"Young general, please fight!"
The generals are gearing up and vying for the lead.
After all, these prefectures actually only have 10,000 troops and horses at most. Now that Qi State has many troops and horses, it is not difficult to win a prefecture.
In fact, that's not the case. The cities where these mansions are located are generally relatively tall and strong, and they are not that easy to attack.
"Don't underestimate these two prefectures. The governor of Dongping Prefecture is Dong Ping, a double-gun general. The former one came to participate in the championship competition. His marksmanship is extremely high, and he is a tiger general. Don't underestimate him, but he has a good temper.
Anxious, lustful and reckless, he fell in love with the daughter of Cheng Wanli, the prefect of Dongping Prefecture."
"Order Lin Chong as the main general, Sick Lieutenant Chi Sunli, Green-faced Beast Yang Zhi as deputy general, Tianmu General Peng Qi, and Baisheng General Han Tao as side generals, and lead 20,000 troops to attack Dongping Prefecture."
Wang Lun thought about it. As for the gun generals, Lin Chong should be able to suppress Dong Ping. With the help of Sun Li and Yang Zhi, it would not be a problem to capture Dong Ping.
"Your Majesty, I have an affair with a prostitute in Dongping Mansion, my name is Li Ruilan, and we are familiar with each other. I sneaked into the city, temporarily rented her home, and gave her more gold and silver. When Dong Ping went to war, I took the opportunity to climb up the city.
, the city gate tower was missing from the fire. The inside and outside cooperated to help our army take Dongping Mansion."
Shi Jin was energetic and passionate.
"No, absolutely not. As the saying goes: the house of prostitutes is tabooed by the word 'the one who pulls the beggar and leaks it out'. I don't know how many people have been harmed by this house of prostitutes, not to mention the woman who is welcomed and sent to the house, how can we rely on it?"
Spectrum?"
"If Shi Jin goes out, he will be sued and taken to an official position."
Zhiduoxing Wu Yong waved his hands repeatedly, Xiao Shi, you are still too young.
"No, it can't be?"
Shi Jin didn't quite believe it. She was the woman he had a romantic relationship with. He still had some confidence in his charm. Besides, we didn't leave empty-handed. I always brought real money with me.
"Be careful with your ship. Even if the woman won't betray you, who can guarantee that her godly mother-in-law won't do anything bad?"
"Let's do this. As for the undercover, we can just move them out when there are fleas."
Wang Lun recalled that in the original work of Water Margin, except for the three women in Liangshan, all other women were unreliable. Not to mention they were prostitutes.
"With the order, the villain can sneak into the city by flying over the eaves and walls. There is no need to seek relatives and friends when you get to the city. You can just make an appointment at a time."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your appreciation. I will definitely not disappoint my lord."
Shi Qian, who was on the drum, was very excited and knelt down to accept the order.
He was a tomb robber and thief, and he was despised by heroes in the world. However, Wang Lun did not discriminate against him. Instead, he admired his Qinggong.
Stealing and robbing tombs is definitely not good, but if it is used in the right way and in military affairs, Shi Qian's role is even more powerful than that of ordinary Eighth Prince generals.
"Guan Sheng listens to the order. You will be the main general, Jiuwen Long Shi Jin, the prodigal Yan Qing will be the deputy general. Jin Baozi Yang Lin, and the tiger fighting general Li Zhong will be the side generals. They will lead 20,000 troops to attack Dongchang Mansion."
Wang Lun also ordered Guan Sheng and arranged troops and horses.
"Your Majesty!"
Guan Sheng is overjoyed and has his share, which is great.
"But Dongchang Mansion also has a powerful character named Zhang Qing without Feather Arrow, who is good at flying rocks. Although Guan Sheng's martial arts is better than Zhang Qing, he can't stop the flying rocks."
Wang Lun thought of Zhang Qinglai from Dongchang Mansion, who was also a ruthless character and had the most brilliant record among the 108 generals in Liangshan.
Rely on the flying stone stunt to defeat the golden gunner Xu Ning, the golden-haired tiger Yan Shun, the Yum general Han Tao, the Tianmu general Peng Qi, the ugly commander Ma Xuanzan, the double whip Hu Yanzhuo, the red-haired ghost Liu Tang, the green-faced beast Yang Zhi, and the beautiful bearded male Zhu
At the same time, there are fifteen Liangshan generals including the winged tiger Lei Heng, the broadsword Guan Sheng, the double spear general Dong Ping, and the vanguard Suo Chao.
Later, he also wounded Hua Monk Lu Zhishen, one of the five tiger generals of the Liangshan Horse Army. Zhang Qing wounded three of them and four of the Eight Hussars. This was his only record.
However, Zhang Qing relied entirely on his flying stone skills. Without the flying stones, his marksmanship would be average, and he would be at the level of a strong general.
"Husband, since that Zhang Qing claims to have no arrows, then I will go to help in the battle and use my archery skills to deal with him."
Chen Liqing became interested and asked Wang Lun directly for a fight. She was Wang Lun's concubine and one of the Ten Tiger Generals.
