Chapter 2 Preparation for War

Luda slowly opened her eyes and felt the person sleeping beside her, and involuntarily turned her head and looked over.

What comes to my eyes is a pretty face!

Looking at Hu Sanniang who was sleeping, she was her own wife starting today.

I finally got married and started a business. With a family, my responsibilities and burdens became heavier!

Ruda kissed her cheek gently, just as she was about to get up.

Wake up by the sound of Lu Da's wake up, Hu Sanniang woke up slowly.

"My husband! Why did you wake up! I'll help you change your clothes!"

Hu Sanniang felt pain as soon as she moved.

Luda helped her down. "You are not fit in your body, so take a rest today!"

...

The newlyweds were in a state of tenderness for half a month, on the third day of the October 2018, outside the west gate of Xia County.

"No need to send it to you. You all go back!" Lu Da held Qingniu and said to Hu Sanniang.

"My husband must come back. I'll wait for you!" Hu Sanniang looked at Lu Da and said reluctantly.

"Don't worry, this world can kill me, the people in this world are not born yet!" Luda shouted confidently. "Ping is gone! Take care of yourself!"

When the military camp of Huangtun Town, Yanzhou Province heard that Lu Da was coming, Zhu Wu and Jiang Jing quickly came with him.

Seeing Ruda approaching, he bowed and folded his fists and shouted, "See General!"

"No need to be polite, please get up quickly!" Lu Da said with a smile, "I have come all the way and saw the people coming and going on the official road. I can see that you two have comforted the people. You have done a good job!"

"How dare you be the general's praise for these subordinates!" Zhu Wu and Jiang Jing said humbly and gently.

"Thank you for your hard work! Hu Yanzhuo, where are Shi Wengong and the others?" Lu Da nodded and asked.

"Report to General Hu Yan and others are all training their military horses in the barracks. Luan Tingyu leads troops to guard against the Song army!" Zhu Wu replied quickly.

Lu Da said: "I heard that the court has newly appointed Gao Qiu as the chief general, and Wang Bing was the deputy general to lead 200,000 troops to attack. Gao Qiu is not aware of his skills, so it is not worth worrying. However, the deputy general Wang Bing is a veteran in the army and should not be underestimated!"

Zhu Wu replied: "General, please don't worry. General Luan has sent hundreds of spies to the junction of Yanzhou and Jeju, always monitoring the movements of the Song army. As soon as the Song army sends troops, I will immediately know! But reinforcements will be sent here to support General Luan!"

"Good! You did a good job! Although the Song army is vulnerable, you must not be careless, so as not to lose Jingzhou!" Lu Da praised. "Let's go to the training ground to see the training of those soldiers who surrendered!" Lu Da said to Zhu Wu and the general.

"Yes, General!"

"Bomiao, please find a soldier to guide us!"

A large military camp stands in a flat place 40 miles northwest of Yanzhou City, where Hu Yanzhuo's military camp is stationed.

"General, you are here!" Hu Yanzhuo heard the soldiers holding the door report that the general was here.

He hurriedly brought Han Tao and Peng Qi to come over. As soon as he saw Lu Da, he immediately bowed his fists.

"No need to be polite!" Luda looked at the soldiers training on one side and shouted, "We will continue the Western Expedition in a few months. Can those prisoners obey after surrendering? How about the training ground?"

Hu Yanzhuo smiled and said, "At the beginning, there were some disobedient things, but they punished them severely. Then they told them that after we were treated, they became obedient! As long as they train for the first half of the year and polished, they would become a good soldier!"

Hearing Hu Yanzhuo say this, Lu Da nodded.

Looking at the original Song Bing, now I am looking for hard work to train my fighting skills. It is clear that Hu Yanzhuo has not been lazy for nearly a month, but is training his men.

"Is there any difficulty?" Luda asked withdrew her gaze.

Hu Yanzhuo hesitated for a moment and shouted a little embarrassedly: "General, in order to get his men to form an army as soon as possible, the daily training volume is not as large as that of the time. The energy consumed is not small, and the meat is a little insufficient...so..."

When Lu Da heard this, he laughed. "Don't worry. During this period, the gentry from Qingzhou, Yanzhou and other prefectures and counties have led sheep and carried grain to work hard. I will ask someone to send twenty or thirty pigs and more than a dozen sheep."

When he heard Lu Da proudly sending twenty or thirty pigs and more than a dozen sheep, he shouted happily: "General Xie, if the children hear this good news, they will work harder to train!"

Ruda nodded and said, "Tell them that as long as I work hard during training, I will not treat them unfairly!"

"Yes, General!"

Under Hu Yanzhuo's leadership, Lu Da patrols the military camp and leaves with satisfaction.

In the next few days, Lu Da checked the training status of Shi Wengong, Luan Tingyu and others one after another.

Although there were some minor problems, the overall situation was good, which reassured Luda.

In the prefectural hall of Juye City, Jeju, where the Privy Councilor Tong Guan was, Jeju magistrate Zhang Shuye had no choice but to stand in the hall.

Last month, after being defeated by Luda, Tong Guan led the remaining troops to garrison in Juye City.

At first, Tong Guan was very worried that he would be punished by Emperor Zhao Ji, and even lost his life.

Early in the morning, he sent his confidants to Tokyo overnight, visited Cai Jing, Liang Shicheng and others, and asked them to help them speak nice things and help them maintain their positions.

After half a month of money, he finally heard the news from Tokyo. He was just scolded, but he was not taken off his black hat. Tong Guan finally breathed a sigh of relief and his mind was alive.

Sitting in the court, Tong Guan asked, "The Lord is kind, and forgives me, and allows us to make meritorious service. We must not let the Lord down!"

Feng Mei, Bi Sheng and several of his confidants hurriedly clasped their fists and shouted: "Don't worry, we will definitely devote ourselves to the kindness of the emperor!"

When Tong Guan heard the scenes his subordinates said, he shouted coldly: "What's the solution? Is there any way to defeat those thieves?"

If you say beautiful words, Feng Mei, Bi Sheng and others can definitely say them for a long time without repetition.

But if they come up with a countermeasure, then...

Feng Mei, Bi Sheng and others immediately lowered their heads and turned into an ostrich.

Seeing his subordinates' appearance, Tong Guan suddenly became angry and shouted: "I don't want to listen to your kind words. I want you to take practical actions. Who can defeat the rebels, share the worries and the emperor's problems for the court?"

Feng Mei, Bi Sheng and the others lowered their heads.

Even a hundred thousand troops cannot defeat those rebels, and now only ten thousand soldiers are left. What can they do to defeat those rebels?

Only treat Tong Guan with silence.

Seeing his subordinates' picture of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water and letting him beat and scold him, Tong Guan angrily wanted to smash the gavel in his hand towards their heads.

Just as Tong Guan was about to get angry, Jeju Magistrate Zhang Shuye suddenly spoke, "Sir Shu, I have a plan, don't know if it's possible?"

Tong Guan shouted impatiently: "When is it now, just tell me what you can do if you have any solutions!"
