After Lin Fengjin got Zhang Lei's matter right, he could be regarded as making up for the last piece of the puzzle before the trip.
After returning home, he called the housekeeper and asked him to bring the account book to inquire one by one, this matter may be difficult for others, but for Lin Fengjin, who has already presided over hundreds of thousands of army food and grass baggage, it is simply a matter of hand.
When he was taking inventory and checking the accounts, a small servant suddenly came outside to report, saying that it was a person named Zhang Lei who asked to see him.
Lin Fengjin raised his eyebrows, and finally smiled, at this time Zhang Lei came a little unexpectedly Lin Fengjin, but according to Lin Fengjin's speculation, this should be a good thing, so he said: "Dongnuan Pavilion has wine, please."
Although he had only been seen for more than an hour, when Zhang Lei saw Lin Fengjin again, his attitude had become completely different, and as soon as he saw Lin Fengjin, he kowtowed three times, and set the name between the master, servant, monarch and minister.
Lin Fengjin stood there, calmly received Zhang Lei's three heads, and then helped him up and said: "Zigan is coming, but is there any difficulty?"
Zhang Lei's words are Zigan, and after listening to Lin Fengjin's inquiry, he said: "After thinking about it, the son himself is majestic and heroic, and there must be many strange people under him, why would he bother to spend time on a certain body Since it is not for force, then there is just one less counselor around him.
And even a powerful person like Childe finds it tricky, and it must be a big matter.
In this case, time is a very precious thing, and it is natural to race against time. ” Lin Fengjin pondered for a while and said: "Since you have such a heart, then I won't hide it from you, do you know that last year's rumors that the Dongxia people suffered a defeat on the grassland" Lin Fengjin said that it was half an hour, and he could be regarded as a detailed analysis of the current situation and the subsequent situation.
After Zhang Lei listened to Lin Fengjin's words, he was shocked at first, he only thought that it was a stroke of genius that he had organized and entangled a group of bandits to defeat Zhongtang County, but he didn't expect that Lin Fengjin could be said to have made such a big situation on the grassland with his own strength, so he felt more and more that the picks on his shoulders were extremely heavy, and he had to take some dry goods out so that people would not look down on them, so he muttered for a while and said: "Childe, the situation is probably not as optimistic as imagined, according to the current situation, in the eyes of the overseas coalition forces, Wu Zuocheng's importance is likely to be greater than imagined."
After Lin Fengjin listened, his fingers holding the tea tightened, and the teacup immediately made a soft sound, and a clear crack appeared, but he said quietly: "Tell me about it."
Zhang Lei said: "The other party came from overseas, the most lacking is that there is no foundation without a foundation, there is no way out, there is no foundation is Liukou Wu Zuocheng is lonely hanging on the vast grassland, but it is rich, there are thousands of miles away from the Northern Qi and Eastern Xia, once the Northern Qi and Eastern Xia send troops, there is also enough buffer time, after occupying here, you can look north into the hinterland of Eastern Xia, look south at the Qing of Northern Qi, Xu Fushu area, is a very important strategic place."
"If you want to say something that you don't like, if one of the overseas countries wants to monopolize this place, the rest will never agree."
Lin Fengjin took a deep breath and said: "If the countries of the East China Sea join forces to attack, Wu Zuocheng will definitely not be able to withstand it, you mean, you want me to plan for the worst" Zhang Lei shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily the case."
After speaking, he asked for the map next to him and pointed: According to my speculation, the first goal of these people must be to find a few points near the Central Plains to settle down first, these points are either islands or cities by the sea, with these points, you can use this as the core to demarcate the major war zones, further refine their respective spheres of influence, and avoid uneven distribution of spoils for conflict.
The points they selected, such as Jeju Station overseas in Eastern Xia, Chongzhu outside the mouth of the Yangtze River, Weizhou Island, Nanji Island, Miao Island, etc., are all likely to be included in the target. ” After listening to Zhang Lei break it down like this, Lin Fengjin also understood and said: "Then according to what you mean, Wu Zuocheng may have been set as a support point."
Zhang Lei said: "It's not possible, it's definitely because Wu Zuocheng's geographical location is too superior, only from the perspective of land transportation, Wu Zuocheng is a poor and remote country, but, from the perspective of sea trade and naval warfare, Wu Zuocheng is a place where soldiers must fight for It is a pity that meat eaters despise, because there are too many dangers in the sea, so few people in the Central Plains have such advanced insight and vision."
Lin Fengjin smiled, Wu Zuocheng's location was decided by him, relying on the experience and vision of the previous life, of course, there was no problem.
However, for Zhang Lei, it is very rare to have such insight.
After listening to Zhang Lei's analysis, he also had some understanding, so he said: "Then you think I shouldn't fight this battle" Zhang Lei said: "No, this battle must also be fought, because although the East China Sea Alliance will definitely not underestimate Wu Zuocheng, but I made it very clear just now that they should first find a few points near the Central Plains to take root, so it is absolutely impossible to only fight Wu Zuocheng's idea.
Therefore, Wu Zuocheng's opponent can neither have one coalition army, nor can he face all the forces of the other party, it should be two or three coalition forces coming, in this way, although Wu Zuocheng's pressure is fought, it is definitely not without the strength of a battle. ” "Wonderful, wonderful" Lin Fengjin nodded and said approvingly: "It seems that I didn't find the wrong person."
Don't worry, I came to you this time, and I definitely didn't want you to sell yourself as a slave for me to be a subordinate for the rest of my life, where in the world are there people who are willing to be bandits for a lifetime who don't think about themselves, but also think about their wives and children."
"You did a good job this time, I am responsible for clearing your charge and promoting you to a seventh-rank rank, if you want to enter the Snake Devouring Army or the Tempest Legion, it is all on me, the high position is not guaranteed, at least one commander is indispensable for 500 people, and the Snake Devouring Army can only give you the position of a captain."
After Zhang Lei heard this, his heart was suddenly moved.
The seventh rank that Lin Feng gave him was a fictitious title, similar to the current deputy department, which is being treated at the department level.
It is already difficult to elevate a person with no roots to this position, not to mention the real shortage of commanders And Lin Fengjin's tone is also amazingly big, what is the Snake Devouring Army, the Royal Forest Army is Lu Yu's heart, and the Wind Legion is also one of the main battle legions of the Northern Qi Dynasty, although Shen Chuan is a general, he himself is one of the seven famous generals in the world, Lu Yu's importance to him is well known, and even his own daughter promised to marry Shen Remnant's old man, and it is also a rare beauty to be able to enter there as a commander.
That is, the top three among the martial artists can have this treatment.
However, Zhang Lei is also a cautious person, Lin Fengjin naturally will not believe all the words he said, he still made a grateful look on his face, Lin Fengjin smiled slightly, and did not break it, seeing that Zhang Lei was still wearing prison clothes from prison at this time, he commanded: "Go and wait for Mr.
Zhang to take a bath, change into new clothes, and arrange to go to Songhexuan to have a good rest before talking about business."
Lin Fengjin's instructions are also reasonable, but when Zhang Lei came to see Lin Fengjin in the afternoon, although the Buddha asked for people dressed in gold and clothes, dressed up with extra spirit, and looked more famous, but his attitude towards Lin Fengjin was already more respectful.
Because Lin Fengjin knew that this person was also observant and quite a city person, he deliberately wanted him to see his strength, so at this time, Lin Fengjin saw that he was no longer in Dongnuan Pavilion, but in his study "Copper Smelly Zhai", after coming here, many people wanted to look at the hanging three words "Copper Smelly Zhai", because these three words were written quite mediocre, and Lin Fengjin's style and decoration here were completely incompatible.
It's like a beautiful woman with an outstanding demeanor, but she is wearing a cheap and vulgar big red flower, and everyone who sees it will always look at the big red flower twice However, anyone who has seen these three words will suddenly become solemn, and the official will even be tempted to tidy up his clothes, eager to pay a few respects.
Because the three words "copper stinky zhai" fall under the name of Lu Yu, the current monarch of the Northern Qi Kingdom This is already the biggest demonstration of Lin Fengjin's strength, at his age, he can actually ask for Lu Yu's Mobao, which is an incredible thing, although the "copper stinky Zhai" written has some derogatory meaning, but it sounds a little laughing and scolding, as if he is joking with Lin Fengjin, which is even more rare.
As for impersonation and the like, Zhang Lei didn't even think about it.
In the living room of the Yedu City, there is a fake ink treasure hanging from the monarch of the dynasty, is this the whole family impatient Not only that, but there were also several calligraphy and paintings hanging in the Songhe Xuan where Zhang Lei lived before, including Mr.
Yangming's, Hurricane's General Shen Remnant, and even Li Jian, the first monarch of the Tang Dynasty, and Cui Zhijie, the eunuch who was popular in the dynasty To be honest, if you want to collect these calligraphy and paintings, you can do it with money, but all of these calligraphy and paintings are written to Lin Fengjin, either to congratulate him on his crown gift, or to congratulate him on his birthday, such a big deal is definitely not money.
Because of this, Zhang Lei was desperate to take refuge in Lin Fengjin at this time, and he immediately took out some "dry goods".
What dry goods are, of course, Zhang Lei's team back then.
This guy went to Gaoting County to find trouble with his old boss, and rose up in the name of "Wangtianfeng" and unified the bandit organizations around Gaoting County.
It's impossible for one person to do it There is a way that snakes are headless, bandits are all existing one by one, to integrate these guys, you have to take the naked interests out, this series of thousands of things, Zhang Lei even if he has three heads and six arms, he can not be busy, at most he only plays the role of integration and scheduling, if there is no very good team and executor, it is impossible to break Gaoting County with a rabble composed of a group of bandits and thieves.
And this time guarding Wu Zuocheng, Lin Fengjin was most worried that without the help of Li Hu's regular army to make a Dinghai Divine Needle, although the clansmen of the Sanli tribe were strong, the habits of the nomads determined that they were not good at defense.
And with Zhang Lei and his team, and with the thousands of dart guys and executioners of the Lin family running north and south, it is not difficult to get an elite team.
More importantly, the next is to defend the city, the city war, because there is a thick city wall protection, so the quality requirements for the army is not too high, only need to dare to fight, dare to defend it, and even counterattack has its own cavalry in the three miles to do, so that you can train the troops with war, and use the war to quickly temper a group of elite soldiers and strengthen the army According to Lin Fengjin's idea, the Han people under his command can probably recruit and form an army of more than 2,000 people, with more than 2,000 people as the center, supplemented by prisoners of war and slaves in the Sanli Department, it can be expanded to as many as 10,000 people.
If it is a field battle, it is easy for the new army to break up or flee in this way, but in the battle to defend the city, the enemy's strike force is limited, and it is impossible to exert such a huge pressure firstly, and secondly, if the people of the new army want to break up and escape, there is no possibility, because there is no way to escape in Wu Zuocheng, and he may not die if he is in front, but he will definitely die if he turns back and flees, and only by gritting his teeth and stepping forward can there be a glimmer of life.
According to Zhang Lei's account, after breaking the Gao Pavilion back then, he also knew that this could only be a temporary victory, after all, the foundation of the Tang Dynasty was still there, and it was really serious, and it could be said that it was a matter of effort to exterminate him.

At that time, there was another way to take refuge in Xirong, but several of his brothers and Xirong also had a deep blood feud, so they could only choose to sack Gaoting and then abscond, returning to the familiar territory of Northern Qi to do business without capital.
At this time, Zhang Lei seemed to be a one-legged thief, but in fact, he only appeared alone during the robbery, and he still ambushed people to chase and kill the fish that slipped through the net, but there were at least dozens of people under him, and if you add his related brothers, there would be at least one or two hundred.
Lin Feng was overjoyed when he heard this, he personally sat in charge, and he was not afraid that Zhang Lei and his brothers would turn the sky upside down, besides, the main body of this army was still composed of the Lin family's dart buddies and executioners, not to mention that there was also the most important food and salary for suppressing the Sanli Department that he worshiped as a god, and Zhang Lei and they could not solve it by themselves.
Therefore, Lin Fengjin immediately promised Zhang Lei that his brothers could take care of a lot of them and be responsible for helping them wash their white, but everyone's family members had to come to Yedu to take care of them together, and they couldn't hide that their relatives didn't bring them, otherwise they would be killed directly once they found out.
How did Zhang Lei not know that Lin Fengjin wanted them to send hostages out, but it was reasonable for Lin Fengjin to do this, so he hesitated and agreed, and Lin Fengjin gave him another 50,000 taels of silver as a settlement fee for him to persuade those companions, and then set an appointment.
Lin Fengjin is not worried that Zhang Lei will run away, because he has given him hope, and now people, these four words of glory and glory in their minds are also very important, not to mention that just like Lin Fengjin said, it doesn't matter if you are a thief yourself, I hope that my wife will bear the name of a thief for the rest of my life, and I hope that my descendants will also be thieves for a lifetime This is the most fatal weakness of Zhang Lei and his brothers, everyone has their own weaknesses, Lin Fengjin has grasped their weakness, then he is not afraid that they will not comply.
Time flies, and at this time, the ocean-going fleets of the countries of the East China Sea have sailed on the ocean without any danger again.
At least twenty or thirty deep-sea ancient beasts, large and small, have died tragically under the perverted attack of this "Su self messenger", and the huge bodies of deep-sea ancient beasts have become their biggest weakness at this time.
These "Su I emissaries" are like flying, with divine power protection on their shells, their forefeet are extremely sharp, and their mouthparts can secrete a powerful corrosive substance, which can easily corrode into the skin of the deep-sea ancient giant beasts, and then drill into them, using the flesh and blood of the deep-sea ancient beasts as nutrients, wantonly laying eggs and hatching, such a perverted internal attack, almost no living thing can resist.
Such a ferocious natural enemy appeared, and the rest of the deep-sea ancient beasts were definitely not creatures without intelligence, and they also had their own communication channels, and those who survived spread the bad news to the entire ocean, and the huge group of deep-sea ancient beasts could only acquiesce in the face of such perverted biological pollution, and after being booby-trapped several deep-sea ancient beasts one after another, once they saw a ship with the breath of "Su-I messenger", even if it was a sampan, they would inevitably flee from the wind.
It stands to reason that if there is no obstacle now, the fleets of the countries in the East China Sea will sail fast, but it may not be, why is the sky not beautiful.
No matter how strong the envoys were, it was impossible to change the weather conditions of the cold winter and hot summer, and when they sailed on the sea at this time, it was completely headwind, and the speed was as slow as a turtle crawling.
Fortunately, according to the estimates of experienced boatmen, it was more than enough to sail to that before April.
In addition, there are almost no typhoons in this season, so this slowness is bearable.
In fact, the countries of the East China Sea carefully calculated the time to start a war before they came, and they all agreed that it would not be easy to start a war in winter and early spring, and there were two drawbacks: First, the war starts during this time period, and in the ice and snow, the pressure on logistics must be increased by at least three layers.
The second is that the siege is carried out during this time period, and the defenders boil out boiling water and pour it on the city wall every night, which will add three points of difficulty to the siege.
Therefore, the time they chose was April when the spring was in full bloom, when the grass grew and the warblers flew and the spring flowers bloomed, so that after the outer areas of the sea area were captured, the second phase of the offensive could be carried out around the time point when the spring wheat was harvested and put into storage, which could relieve the logistical pressure to the greatest extent.
This is due to the fact that it is not easy to transport across the vast sea, and more importantly, in order to support this expedition, the grain depots of the countries of the East China Sea have no grain in the warehouses at all, and it is almost impossible to provide any help.
Therefore, if the first phase of the strategic goal of the alliance of the East China Sea countries is to establish a number of permanent footholds on the coast or islands of the Central Plains, then their strategic goal in the second stage is also very obvious, not to conquer cities and territories, nor to plunder jewels and wealth, but to rob grain It is precisely because their second strategic goal can be said to be unbelievable that the chance of success is at least eighty percent Generally speaking, the attack of the coalition forces carried out by the countries of the East China Sea can be said to be quite perfect, first of all, the divine sacrifice made them overcome the danger of the ancient beasts of the deep sea in the vast ocean, and the plan formulated was also steady and steady, according to the report of the spies lurking in the Central Plains, the Central Plains was even more of a dispute among the five countries at this time, and no one was aware of their existence at all.
Suddenly, a muffled horn blew on the slowly sailing vanguard ship, followed by a signal flag, and it wasn't long before the entire fleet slowly began to close, and then several ships of apparently much larger size began to converge on each other.
Soon, the heads of the fleets of the East China Sea countries gathered on a large five-tooth ship, there was a special cabin here, and a huge chart was placed in the cabin, and a man wearing a lion-faced golden helmet stood up and said loudly: "It has just been determined that we have entered the Black Water Ocean" Suddenly, a series of cheers came from inside the cabin, and the man looked around with sharp eyes and said: "Coming here, it marks that the Central Plains is only half a month's voyage away from us at most, therefore, from tonight, we will split up and launch the first wave of offensive according to the original plan, and lay our foundation on the islands of the Central Plains, in order to avoid startling the grass and snakes, before the fifth day of the fourth month, it is forbidden for everyone to launch an attack on the mainland of the Central Plains, of course, what is the name of the robber's nest located on the deserted grassland, yes, Wu Zuocheng is not within this ban" Hearing the words "Wu Zuocheng", the eyes of the three generals wearing golden helmets were all grim, and then they said loudly: "Your Royal Highness Tianlu, we have heard that although this Wu Zuocheng is indeed located on the grassland, it is not the kind of barren and dilapidated market town, according to the latest report of the spies, this Wu Zuocheng seems to have noticed something, is renovating the city defenses, training soldiers and horses, and when we sail over, we are afraid that it will only be a hard bone to be faced
