Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 213 Daoist Lingyun
"In Huazhi Village, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, so don't take it too seriously." The subordinates stopped Huarong.

Huarong said: "Okay, go back to the village, rectify the troops and horses, and fight again some day."

But in the next few months, Huarong was played around by bandits, and the people nearby gave Huarong a nickname, Huabao.

Besides, the short-legged tiger didn't chase Huarong when he saw Huarong run away, but just wiped out the officers and soldiers in front of him. He only killed a dozen people in an ambush. As many as ten.

Jinmaohu also succeeded, even coaxed and threatened to expropriate twenty fat pigs and returned to the mountain happily.

The prestige of Qingfeng Mountain has also spread, and Dwarf Tiger and Sun Erniang have gained a foothold in Qingzhou.

In Chaijiazhuang, Cangzhou, Chai Lin received two reports that day.

A piece of information was sent by the arrest envoy Yang Lin. The important criminal, Sun Erniang, escaped from the government prison, and informed Chai Lin to be vigilant to prevent Sun Erniang from going to Chaijiazhuang for revenge.

The second information was sent by the intelligence department later, saying that Sun Erniang had gone to hang out with Guo Shanlong.

Chai Lin led the army battalion to rush to Cangzhou City, first went to the government office to meet the magistrate, and then met with Shi Qian at the big car shop of the intelligence department in the east of the city.

Shi Qian said: "Brother, I'm afraid it's too late to mobilize troops. This mountain dragon is going to Qingzhou."

"Oh, that's strange. Guo Shanlong lived well in Leling, why did he go to Qingzhou?" Chai Lin asked puzzled.

"This time, I'm afraid there is an expert's advice. Yesterday, Guo Shanlong came to the temple fair to make a calculation. The Taoist was nagging, and I don't know what he said to Guo Shanlong." Shi Qian said.

Chailin said, "Where is that Taoist?"

"Not far from here, there is a thatched house." Shi Qian said.

Chai Lin said: "It's not good for us to run to Qingzhou. If the mice are gone, why raise a cat? I'll meet this Taoist priest. It's impossible for a Taoist priest to come here for no reason."

Chai Lin brought a dozen relatives to the Taoist priest's thatched hut, and said, "Xie Bao, come in with me, Zhengnan will bring people to surround him from the outside, and enlarge the encirclement."

"Brother, don't worry." Dian Zhengnan led a dozen people to draw out the nozzles of the wheel and surrounded the thatched cottage.

When he arrived at the gate of the thatched cottage, Chai Lin knocked on the door.

A Taoist boy opened the door and said, "Master Chai, please come in."

This boy has delicate features, very rare, that is, he looks seventeen or eighteen years old.

Chai Lin said, "How do you know that I am the owner of Chai Zhuang?"

Daotong said with a smile: "You can come to Cangzhou without knowing the magistrate, but you must know the owner of Chai Zhuang."

"You are quite interesting, what about your master?"

"My master is getting angry, saying that young people nowadays don't talk about martial arts, and even send people to surround the house when they visit others."

Chai Lin was very embarrassed, surrounded others and let them find out.

But you have to be thick-skinned and say: "The enemy is not divided, I am also acting cautiously, and I hope the Taoist priest will not blame me."

The Taoist came out of the back room with a flick of his whisk, his face was like a crown of jade, his eyes were like stars, making people look quite at ease.Chailin was worried that the Taoist would be able to hypnotize him, so he quickly avoided his eyes.

"Come here uninvited, don't blame the Taoist priest if you still see him. You haven't asked the Taoist priest's name yet." Chai Lin said.

"The Taoist name of the poor is Lingyun, and he travels in the lower reaches of the world, and his merits are related to good fortune." The Taoist said.He speaks loudly and confidently.

"It turned out to be Master Lingyun." Chai Lin said.

"Wrong, my master is a celestial master." Xiaodaotong said.

Taoist Lingyun said: "The name of any real master of heaven is just a false name, and the owner of Chai Zhuang is just called Lingyun, the poor Taoist."

Chai Lin said: "Master Lingyun, his accent doesn't look like his own. Why do you come here to settle down? Cangzhou is barren, and there are no fairy mountains, and no Taoist temples."

"The owner of the village may have misunderstood the Taoist priests. The purpose of our sect is to travel the world. A few days ago, the poor Taoist was watching the sky at Wudang Mountain at night. He saw that a few of the [-] chaos stars fell. Take a closer look. It turned out to be caused by the purple air in Cangzhou, so the poor Taoist came here." Ling Yun said.

Chai Lin was overwhelmed with mist, and said, "I still don't understand."

The little boy said: "My master thinks that Master Chai can accomplish great things, so he came here early to help, and wanted to eat and drink."

Daoist Ling Yun said: "You boy, you are talking nonsense."

This pair of master and apprentice is really a pair of living treasures, the master is not like a master, and the apprentice is like an apprentice.

Chai Lin said: "My Chaijiazhuang is recruiting talents, I don't know what specialties Ling Yun has."

Daoist Lingyun didn't rush to answer, and said: "Before we met, Pindao had already helped Chai Zhuangzhu a lot. The day before yesterday, bandits came to me for fortune-telling. I asked him to go to Qingzhou. Those who accompanied him also went to Qingzhou." There is the grandson Erniang."

"Oh, why did Guo Shanlong and Sun Erniang go to Qingzhou to help me?" Chai Lin asked.

Ling Yun said: "Although Pindao came to Cangzhou not long ago and has never been to Chaijiazhuang, I know that Chaijiazhuang has reached a bottleneck in its development, and there is absolutely no reason for the township soldiers to expand. The prefect of Su comes from a famous family, and he is not greedy or plundering. , the county magistrate below naturally dare not go too far. Moreover, there are no mountains in Cangzhou, and most of them are plains. In this way, there is no development potential for the dragon that has passed through the mountains, and it will be a matter of time before he stays in Cangzhou and is destroyed. Recruiting soldiers and buying horses is quite easy. If you say that the person who wants to take revenge the most after the mountain dragon develops, it must be the owner of Chai Zhuang."

"It makes sense. The person Guo Shanlong and Sun Erniang hate the most is me. These two are the first to seek revenge after they have grown up in Qingzhou. Qingzhou is not far from here, so there is a reason to keep the Cangzhou regiment training."

"Next, Master Zhuang will take the seal of Cangzhou Tuanlian to find Mr. Su to resign." Daoist Ling Yun said.

"Why?" Chailin asked.

"Test, try Master Su's situation. Although the bandits have left Cangzhou, the Daliao Kingdom and the Dajin Kingdom in the north are staring at each other, and the crisis has not been resolved. If Master Su agrees to your resignation, then this person has no vision, so don't fight with him as soon as possible. He cooperates. If he disagrees with your resignation, it means that he still has vision and can cooperate in the short term." Daoist Ling Yun said.

Chai Lin was deeply shocked, and he went to see Mr. Su in the afternoon to mention the matter. Mr. Su said that although the bandits had left Cangzhou, the crisis had not been touched, and Cangzhou was still the place of the Fourth World War, and needed the assistance of the township soldiers.

Chai Lin said: "I talked about this with Master Su in the afternoon, and he said that the township soldiers are needed to continue to defend. The strength of the troops has indeed reached a bottleneck. I wonder if the Taoist chief has any good solutions?"

Daoist Ling Yun knew that it was Chai Lin who was going to test him, so he immediately took out a yellowed sheepskin map from his arms. It is unknown who drew this map, but Liao.Western Xia, Western Regions, Song Dynasty, Dali, Annan, etc.Of course, this is just a rough map, and the accuracy is not very high, but it can be seen roughly. There are no satellites in this year, so it is very good to be able to draw it like this.

"Cangzhou, a small place, has a population of only one million. Even if they are all in his hands, the owner of Chai Zhuang does not have the capital to compete in the world. Cangzhou can only be used as a beginning. If you really want to develop the poor, there are two ways. Overseas, I heard that there are many uninhabited islands on the sea to the east of Shandong. Those islands are as small as a palm, and the big ones are as big as a prefecture or state. If you find a few islands, immigrate there, build houses and mine, It is safest to open up wasteland and farm, raise horses and train troops, and wait for the right time."
