The next day, after Chai Jin took a group of people away by boat, they saw Song Jiang and Wang You walking together on the mountain trail.
"I'm so happy that Jinan Prefecture has been captured. Why does my brother look sad?" Wang You looked at it and asked, somewhat puzzled.
"A big celebration also means huge responsibility and pressure. You need to be cautious in every next step, otherwise the foundation that the brothers have worked so hard to build will be destroyed in one day," Song Jiang sighed.
"My elder brother is a man of great talent and will make the most correct decisions. My younger brother is always ready for orders," Wang You said in admiration.
Song Jiang smiled and said: "I have asked you to come here today because I have a difficult task for you!!"
"Brother, just ask"
After General Song Jiang told Gongsun Sheng about Shanzhou's plan last night, he said: "At this time, the expedition will be windy, snowy, hungry and cold, and the difficulties will be much greater than usual. Logically speaking, the Siping Army has just been established, so you should not be allowed to go on the expedition, but this time It’s not just about capturing Shanzhou, it’s also about next year, and even the next few years. We, Liangshan, will respond to imperial conquests, and even send troops to the front station of Huainan. Although brothers Lin Chong are brave, they are only generals of ten thousand people, and you, Wang Qingzhi, can rule. A million-strong army, so I wonder if you are willing??”
When Wang You heard this, he immediately said: "I am willing. What Military Advisor Gongsun said is very reasonable. I and the Siping Army under my command are determined to completely capture Shanzhou within one month!!"
Song Jiang's eyes narrowed, "Do you need any help??"
"Brother needs artillery, preferably more than twenty artillery pieces," Wang You said.
"Twenty gates." When Song Jiang heard this, he frowned and said, "This is not a light burden."
"It is true that the march will be slower, but with them, I will definitely live up to my expectations."
"Okay, then I'll give it to you. This battle is the first battle of the Siping Army. You must fight it well for me."
"Brother, please rest assured!!"
"Then we will set out for the battle in three days. I will see you off personally."
"Thank you brother!!"
. . . .
The next day, in Xu Youzhu's room, Hu Sanniang came here.
"Sister-in-law, I..."
"Sanniang, just tell me if you have anything," Xu Youzhu immediately expressed concern after looking at it.
"I heard that my brother has ordered the Siping Army to send troops to Shanzhou, and if it is captured, it may be stationed here."
When Xu Youzhu heard this, he immediately understood and said, "You want to go??"
"Yes!" Hu Sanniang suddenly nodded shyly.
"Then why don't you tell your brother directly??"
"I'm afraid my brother won't agree."
After Xu Youzhu looked at it, he said warmly: "Sanniang, Commander Wang is going on an expedition this time. The cold winter is coming. Although you have extraordinary martial arts, you are still a woman. If you think the mountains are boring, now I have captured Liangshan and even Jinan Prefecture. , if you go to Jinan with your brother before time, if you can’t, just go to Dongping Mansion, and I will be responsible for whatever you want to buy!!”
When Hu Sanniang heard this, she immediately lowered her head with a gloomy expression.
Xu Youzhu looked at it and was a little surprised and said: "Sanniang, don't you like Commander Wang?"
Hu Sanniang was shocked and shook her head quickly: "No, no, no."
Xu Youzhu smiled and said, "What's wrong with this? Although Brother Wang Ying unfortunately died in the battle, you are still young, so you can naturally find a new home."
"Sister-in-law is joking, how can I be worthy of it?"
Xu Youzhu was stunned, shook his head and said: "Why don't you deserve it? You are my brother's adopted sister. Among the women in Liangshan, no one is more noble than you!!"
"Then..." Hu Sanniang said with some expectation.
Xu Youzhu thought for a while and said: "Although I am the mistress of Liangshan, I cannot interfere in military affairs at will. If I want to go, I need the king's nod!!"
. . . .
Soon, in the rear village of Liangshan, Wang You was discussing the plan to attack Shanzhou with Liu Meng, Jiang De, Jiang Xing and others.
"Shanzhou has four counties, namely Shanfu, Chengwu, Yutai, and Dangshan. Its main force is Shanfu. If we capture him, we will capture the entire Shanzhou and make it our army's defense against Yingtianfu's army. At the front station, Shan's father is not such a heavy state and has limited troops. But now that the cold winter is coming, if we cannot take it in a short time, our army will be passive. Therefore, my brother Cong asked 20 iron artillerymen to bombard him with all his strength. , to frighten the enemy, order our Siping Army of 3,000 men to launch an all-out attack, Brother Liu!!"
"exist"
"You command the sharp knife team. When both sides are anxious, rush forward. You must take down Shan's father as quickly as possible."
"yes"
"Commander, don't you still have Commander Qin's brothers from the branch? There are estimated to be three or four thousand people now."
"The army led by Qin is not about attacking the city, but about ambushing it."
"ambush"
"Our army is launching a large-scale attack. Shanfu Zhizhou will definitely send people to Yingtian for help immediately. Although it has been a cold winter, Yingtian will not remain indifferent. Shanzhou is nothing. If we want to fight, we can only fight Yingtian's army." Don't dare to peek at me!!" Wang You said with cold eyes.
"What the commander said is true. Commander Wu defeated tens of thousands of troops and captured Jinan Prefecture with only two thousand soldiers and horses. How can we fall behind?" Liu Meng said excitedly.
Wang You nodded and said seriously: "The day after tomorrow, I will send an order to the entire army to ask for nothing except the necessary things. We will go to Shanzhou to get them!!"
"yes!!"
"Commander" at this time, a soldier came in, clasped his fists and said: "The mistress sent someone over to ask you to go."
"Mother" Wang You was stunned.
Liu Meng and others were also a little surprised.
. . . .
When night gradually fell, in the office, looking at Wang You who was a little embarrassed, Wu Yong smiled and said: "Qingzhi, is this your own idea, or was it ordered by someone?"
When Wang You heard this, he immediately said: "It's my own idea."
"So you like Sanniang"
"Ah! No..." Wang You didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"Haha" Wu Yong smiled and said, "You can just tell your brother about this kind of thing."
"I really don't know what to say, so I can only ask the military advisor first."
Wu Yong took a look and said slightly seriously: "Qingzhi, you have the talent of a general and are highly valued by my brother, but I still have to tell you, if you like Sanniang, I will solve the matter, but if you don't like , but because I am forced to have no choice, it is better to be decisive. My brother loves Sanniang very much, so there must be no misunderstandings, otherwise he will complain."
When Wang You heard this, he hesitated slightly, clasped his fists and said, "I would also like to ask the military advisor to help me. I really hope that Sanniang can accompany me."
"Haha, okay, okay, I will solve this matter and treat Sanniang well!!" Wu Yong said happily.
"Thank you, Military Advisor!!" Wang You saluted gratefully.
. . . .
The next day, Song Jiang looked at the embarrassed Hu Sanniang in front of him, shook his head and said: "You first found your sister-in-law, your sister-in-law found Qingzhi, and Qingzhi then found the military advisor. After this circle, you came to my brother, Why, now my brother is so unable to speak properly."
"No, brother, sister thinks you are too busy," Hu Sanniang said immediately.
"I won't forget you as my sister even when I'm busy. In fact, I don't want you to be in danger during the expedition, but who made you fall in love with Qingzhi? Of course you can go, but you have to obey orders!!"
"Yes, brother" Hu Sanniang said happily.
Song Jiang stood up and said: "Hua Rong, bring the things in"
"yes"
Soon, Hua Rong came in with a wooden box. After Song Jiang opened it, he saw that it was full of jewelry and land deeds. "Sanniang, when I go to Shanzhou this time, it will take a long time for you and me to see each other again. These things are the thoughts of me and your sister-in-law. They all belong to the inner treasury. The real estate title deeds are all in Dongping Mansion. Someone will take care of them for you. When you win Shanzhou, you will go there. Qingzhi is a fair person. You are righteous and will never take more of your subordinates’ share. Take these and live a good life, don’t make yourself miserable!!”
When Hu Sanniang heard this, she was immediately moved and said with tears in her eyes: "Thank you, brother."
"If you have any questions, please write to Brother Wei!!"
"kindness!!"
"We are leaving for the war tomorrow, go say goodbye to your sister-in-law and the others!!"
After hearing this, Hu Sanniang immediately knelt down, kowtowed and said, "Brother, I cherish you very much."
"Okay" Song Jiang helped him and said, "Go!!"
"yes!!"
"Brother, Zhu Mi is here"
When Song Jiang heard this, he immediately said: "Let Brother Zhu Wu come in."
"yes!!"
"Hua Rong, go and ask the military advisor, Brother Gongsun and others to come over too," Song Jiang said.
"yes"
