"Do you want to inform Shi Xiu?" Wu Yong asked halfway.
"The Grand Governor has said that the Hedong War Zone is now facing the threat of war, and the imperial army may encircle and suppress the Hedong War Zone. Shi Xiu manages the intelligence of the Hedong War Zone, so it is best not to come." Zhu Guidao.
At the beginning, Wu Dong wanted Shi Xiu to participate in this matter. Because when he was in Hedong, Shi Xiu's intelligence left a deep impression on him. Wu Dong felt that Shi Xiu was more noble than Zhu.
It was more suitable for intelligence work. But then I thought about the current situation in the Hedong War Zone, so I temporarily changed my decision and no longer let Shi Xiu participate in this incident.
"Well, with us here, it should be enough to complete this mission." Wu Yong said.
"Wu Xuexue, it's actually easy to invite people, but it's not that easy to take people out of Bianliang City. I wonder if you have any good ideas?" Zhu Gui said.
"Of course there is a way. I already came up with a clever plan when we were on the boat." Wu Yong said.
"I wonder what the solution is?" Zhu Gui asked in surprise.
"I can't tell you this for now. When we get to Bianliang City, you can invite the people from Duzuoyuan to come out. I will be responsible for taking everyone out of Bianliang City," Wu Yong said.
Wu Yong felt a little angry 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 unhappy. Now he is almost ignored in the Operations Department, and all combat plans are planned by Hua Rong.
The commander-in-chief of the legion made the plan himself, and he could hardly get involved. This time he finally encountered the Goryeo War. He was preparing to show off his skills, but he was sent to Bianliang City to hire some craftsmen. Wu Yong felt that he must show his skills
If he is so powerful, he will bring all the craftsmen from Dozuowon to Goryeo, so that he can show his skills and others will not dare to look down on him in the future.
Not long after I arrived at Bianliang City, it was still so prosperous.
After Wu Yong entered Bianliang City, he felt a little dizzy. The various scenery and the flow of people made him dizzy.
"Wu Xuexue, let's go check out the specific situation of Du Zuo Yuan?" Zhu Gui said.
"You go first... I don't know martial arts, so it won't be of any use if I go there. You should investigate the situation there clearly, come back and tell me, and I will formulate corresponding measures to recruit people." Wu Yong said.
Zhu Gui thought for a while and felt that what Wu Yong said was good. He immediately said: "Wu Xuexue, I will let people follow you. Don't wander around. You must come back at night."
Liangshanbo has several strongholds in Bianliang City, two of which are large inns opened by Cao Zheng. After deciding on the meeting place, Zhu Gui left with a group of craftsmen and headed towards Duzuoyuan.
****
The entire Bianliang City is divided into three parts: the outer city, the inner city, and the imperial city. The outer city is where ordinary people live, the inner city is where the imperial government is located, and the imperial city is naturally where the emperor lives.
The defense of the imperial city is the strictest, followed by the inner city and the outer city the worst.
The Tsusakuin was originally an extremely important place, but because it was full of craftsmen who made weapons and weapons every day, it required a huge space and made a lot of noise, so the Tsusakuin was placed in the outer city.
However, although they are all in the outer city, they are also extremely well-defended.
Zhu Gui led his men to look at the capital courtyard from a distance, and saw a building there, with many soldiers in front of the building. Although the discipline of these soldiers was very loose, they were numerous in number, almost reaching one post every three steps and one post every five steps.
whistle level.
"There are a lot of soldiers here." Cao Zhengdao.
"There are at least five hundred people, maybe more." Zhu Gui said.
"I'm afraid it's impossible to invite the craftsmen back from here?" Cao Zhengdao.
"This is natural, but we can go to the place where the craftsmen live. There shouldn't be many defenses there," Zhu Gui said.
Cao Zheng nodded, thinking this was the truth.
They kept guarding here, and when the sun set, finally some craftsmen came out of the capital. These craftsmen were all heading in the same direction, and seemed to live in the same place.
"Follow these people." Zhu Gui said hurriedly.
At that moment, several masters quietly followed these people forward. After walking for about half an hour, they almost reached the city wall. Finally, a low building appeared in front of them, looking shabby.
There are many children playing around these buildings, and these children are also very poorly dressed. The weather in February and March is still a bit cold, but the children here are wearing single clothes. Some children are so cold that they have runny noses, but they still
It was extremely fun to play.
When they saw the craftsmen coming back, the children all jumped up to them with cheers. It turned out that these children were the children of those craftsmen.
It was getting dark, but Zhu Gui, Cao Zheng and his party were not discovered. Zhu Gui frowned and said: "Didn't the Governor say that the craftsmen of Du Zuo Yuan are extremely important? But why do they live so hard? Look at where they live.
Judging by the clothes their children wear, they may not be as good as ordinary people."
In fact, all the craftsmen in Duzuoyuan belong to the "craftsman status". In the Song Dynasty, craftsmen households were incorporated into military households. The court could recruit these people at any time, and these people were not allowed to refuse. Their craftsmanship was passed down from generation to generation, but
Because they were working for the imperial court, no matter how good their craftsmanship was, they would not get enough remuneration, so the living conditions of these people were extremely poor.
The two of them checked here and found that it was no different from ordinary residential buildings. There were no soldiers guarding it.
At that moment, the two of them felt relieved, and Zhu Gui said: "It's easy to invite these people away, but it's not that easy to take them out of Bianliang City. It depends on what Wu Xuexue can do about it."
Before coming, because Wu Dong attached great importance to this matter, the two of them greatly overestimated the difficulty of this mission. Now it seems that the difficulty is not as high as imagined. The imperial court attaches great importance to Du Zuo Yuan,
There were soldiers standing guard everywhere over there, but the imperial court paid no 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 it depends on how Wu Yong brings these people.
left.
The two returned to the agreed hotel that night and waited for a long time, but Wu Yong never came back. The next morning, Wu Yong still didn't come back, and they suddenly realized something was wrong.
"Is it possible that Xuexue Wu is in danger?" Zhu Gui felt uneasy.
"I have sent people to keep an eye on Wu Xuedu, but no trace of Wu Xuedu was found. In addition, the two people who followed him yesterday have not returned yet. Where did he go?" Cao Zheng was also very uneasy.
