It was understandable that Xu Fengwu thought highly of Huangfu Duan, but they were puzzled that he was the one who took the throne.
"Brothers, there are less than a hundred horses in our village now, but what about in a few years?" Xu Fengwu explained slowly. At that time, there might be thousands or even tens of thousands of horses!”
"As everyone knows, the Great Song is currently short of horses. A bad horse can be sold for ten strings, let alone a good horse.”
"If the horses fall sick one day, without a talent like Purple Beard, we can only watch helplessly.”
"If we build a horse army in the future, if the horses fall sick, half of the horse army will be crippled. With Purple Beard Uncle in the mountain stronghold, our horse army will not have to worry about the future.”
Xu Fengwu looked around at everyone and said,"Therefore, Purple Beard Uncle will be a top position no matter what."”
Shi Wengong stood up and said," Fort Master is right. Although Purple Beard Uncle cannot go into battle to kill the enemy, it still concerns thousands of soldiers and horses!”
Zhu Gui also opened his mouth and said,"That's right, let Purple Beard Uncle sit on the chair as well."”
Everyone nodded in agreement. Xu Fengwu's words had indeed convinced them. They had no reason to refute him.
Huangfu Duan was extremely grateful. He stepped forward and bowed,""I'm willing to do my best for you in the future.”
Xu Fengwu stepped forward to help him up and said,"If Purple Beard Uncle still has a small family, you can bring them up the mountain to live.”
"Thank you, brother," said Huangfu Duan.”
After the matter was settled, Xu Fengwu went to the horse farm and saw a large open space with dozens of good horses free. Not far away was a sink and food trough.
"These horses are fed with fine feed, which is better than what humans eat," said Du Qian.”
Xu Fengwu smiled." Horses are delicate animals. The horse farm must be kept clean. Also, we'll mark out a few empty spaces as spare horse farms."”
"Yes, sir!" Du Qian nodded.
Although Liangshan had a large area, Wanzi City was the only large piece of flat land. The rest were small pieces.
Raising horses on Liangshan was not a good choice, but it was the only way now.
……
Outside Jeju City, on the main road.
A fat monk was walking along the main road toward the city with a Buddhist staff in his hand and a Buddhist Commandment Blade hanging from his waist.
This fat monk was Lu Zhishen. At this moment, his gaze was fixed on the military camps not far away and the soldiers who were training nearby.
Lu Zhishen was from the Western Army. He had fought with the Xixia people on the battlefield and beheaded many Dangxiang people. He was also the governor under the little seed, so his knowledge was naturally incomparable to ordinary people.
In Lu Zhishen's eyes, the tents were very loose, and the soldiers who were training were all for show.
If they were placed in the Northwest battlefield, these soldiers would only be able to send the heads of the Xixia people and cause the morale of the army to collapse.
However, Lu Zhishen's attention was not limited to this. He thought as he walked,"When I passed by Jeju earlier, I didn't see these soldiers outside the city. Could they be targeting Liangshan?”
Previously, when Liangshan defeated the Jeju government troops, Lu Zhishen had already understood that because the governor had injured his leg, the regiment commander had gone out in that battle.
In the end, the 1,500 soldiers were defeated, and the regimental commander was beheaded. It was said that the Jeju Zhizhou was furious.
Lu Zhishen had previously felt that if the Zhizhou still had balls, he would definitely not let the matter rest. Looking at the situation now, it was just as he had expected.
"Just in time. It's a timely help for me to join the team at this time!”Lu Zhishen touched his bald head and could not help but grin as he strode into the city.
Lu Zhishen had appeared in Jeju. Just as Xu Fengwu had said, he had escorted Lin Chong back to Tokyo. Dong Chao and Xue Ba also returned not long after. The two of them immediately reported to Gao Qiu.
When Gao Qiu found out about this, he was furious. It was not because he did not kill Lin Chong, but because there was someone who dared to interfere in his business.
Wasn't this a slap to his face?
Ever since Gao Qiu had risen to fame, how many people had dared to oppose him? Who would have thought that one of them would actually appear today?
Gao Qiu first dealt with Dong Chao and Xue Ba, the two incompetent people. Then, he instructed the elders of the Great Minister Temple not to take Lu Zhishen in and sent people to capture him.
Lu Zhishen had been warned by Xu Fengwu and had been secretly keeping an eye out. Seeing that the situation was not right, he immediately took the things and headed to Jeju.
Because of Xu Fengwu, Lu Zhishen did not go west to Mengzhou. Naturally, he did not meet Sun Erniang and Zhang Qing.
Lu Zhishen thought as he walked. After entering the city, he bought meat and steamed buns and headed straight for Yuncheng County.
After walking for about a day, Lu Zhishen arrived at the entrance of Lijiadaokou and saw the waiter again.
"Master, you came to Jeju again?" The waiter still remembered Lu Zhishen and knew that he was the Stronghold Chieftain's honored guest.
Lu Zhishen cupped his fists." I've offended Grand Commandant Gao and have no other choice. I've come to Liangshan Lake to join the gang."”
"Master is willing to join us. It's really a joyous occasion!”The waiter revealed a look of joy. He immediately took the Magpie Painting Bow and shot a whistling arrow at the reeds in the lake.
A moment later, someone rowed a small boat out and stopped by the shore.
" This is Master Lu Zhishen," the waiter said to the man." He came to Liangshan more than a month ago as a passer-by. He's now here to join the village."”
Then, the waiter said to Lu Zhishen,"Grandmaster, just board the ship. He will bring you to the Golden Sands Beach.”
"I understand." Lu Zhishen nodded and quickly boarded the boat.
"Master, sit tight!" The boatman shouted and pushed the boat towards the reeds.
In the Hall of Righteousness.
"What is it? Lu Zhishen is here?" Xu Fengwu's eyes lit up.
"Yes, just now, the minions reported that they have already arrived at the Golden Sands Beach. They must have already come up the mountain.”Zhu Gui said.
"That's great. Come with me to welcome them.”Xu Fengwu was overjoyed. He stood up and walked out.
After a while, Xu Fengwu arrived at the black wind outlet and saw the minions leading a fat monk up the mountain slowly. Who else could it be but Lu Zhishen?
Xu Fengwu quickly went up to him and said happily,""Master, I've been waiting for the stars and the moon, and you've finally come.”
These words made Lu Zhishen feel as if he had eaten a big watermelon in the middle of summer. He immediately felt comfortable.
"Fort Master is too polite!"
Lu Zhishen hurriedly bowed and said,"Just as the Fort Master predicted, those two birdmen reported me to Gao Qiu. When Gao Qiu found out, he wanted to capture me, so I had no choice but to rely on you.”
"That second-year scoundrel has achieved success. Ignore him. Let's go to the Hall of Righteousness first.”
Xu Fengwu laughed and asked his lackeys to bring Lu Zhishen to the Hall of Loyalty with their Buddhist Commandment Blade and Buddhist Staff.
After everyone was seated, Lu Zhishen said,"I passed by Jeju City yesterday and saw that there were military camps outside the city. It seems that the government is going to conquer Liangshan again?”
Xu Fengwu smiled and said," Then Governor Chen Yinglong broke his leg earlier. Now that he's recovered, he naturally wants to reorganize his troops and fight with us."”
Lu Zhishen smiled." That Bird Capital Supervisor is also cautious. He didn't come rashly and even knew to temper his soldiers."”
Xu Fengwu showed some disdain and said,"I beheaded that regimental training envoy Huang An. With this lesson, he naturally has to sharpen his spear at the last minute.”
Lu Zhishen grinned and said,"It seems that I came at the right time."”
Xu Fengwu laughed and said,"That's right. Master coming to Liangshan at this time is like adding wings to a tiger.".”
