At the Dengzhou mansion, Shi Jin asked people to invite Zhiduoxing Wu Yong.
In the study room, Shi Jin saw Wu Liang coming and asked, "When you sent someone to send a message to let me enter the city, why did the army come into the city in high profile and fully armed?"
Wu Yong raised his hands and said: "Marshal, you wrote before that you wanted to recruit talents.
My subordinates have read your plan.
Although it is good, although there are many literati and businessmen who value profits and fame, there are also some who are timid and afraid of death.
If Don't let them know that the marshal's soldiers and horses are all capable of defeating the Liao army and protecting their safety.
I'm afraid not many would dare to go to that dangerous place in Liaodong."
When it comes to understanding people's hearts, Shi Jin is definitely not as good as Wu Yong.
After hearing Wu Yong's explanation, Shi Jin nodded and said, "So that's it.
Thank you Brother Wu Yong for reminding me.
How many people have joined our army during this period?"
Wu Yong said happily: "Since Taiwei Su read out the imperial decree and Marshal you led the troops to attack the Liao Kingdom, people who have come to join our army this month have been falling.
Now our Liangshan Army has recruited 20,000 new soldiers and horses. , plus the original 90,000 troops, I’m afraid it will reach 100,000 troops in a month or two.”
Shi Jin shouted excitedly: "Hahahaha, it seems that the decision to submit to our army was a coup.
Now the people who come to join our army have less worries and are more proactive.
If before, they wanted to recruit 20,000 soldiers and horses I’m afraid it wouldn’t have been possible in a year and a half, but now it’s been achieved in just one month.”
Wu Yong persuaded: "Yes, it's just a marshal.
We only have seven states now.
Although we have the benefits of salt and wine, it is already the limit to support a hundred thousand soldiers and horses.
We can't support any more."
Shi Jin nodded and said: "Too much is not enough, I understand this principle.
Then Shandong will not recruit troops for now.
I want to recruit some of the remaining 10,000 troops in Liao to form cavalry.
When our army conquers the entire Liao and Tokyo, It will not be too late to expand the army at that time.”
Wu Yong said: "My subordinates know what to do.
By the way, Marshal.
Liu Tang, the red-haired ghost who was the former king of the tower, Chao Gai, said that he wanted to join our army, because the Marshal was at war with the Liao army at that time, and his subordinates did not dare to risk it.
Then send him to Liaodong, then keep him In addition to him, there are Tang Bin, Cui Ye, Wen Zhongrong from Baodu Mountain, Han Bolong from Yizhou, and the four Taihu brothers Fei Bao, the red-bearded dragon, Ni Yun, the curly-haired tiger, Jiao Buqing from Taihu, and Slim Face.
Xiong Dicheng and others.
Do you want the marshal to see them?"
Shi Jin nodded and said: "Okay, I will host a banquet for them in the evening.
By the way, I wrote hundreds of invitations in my own hand.
Later you will send people to send them to literati and celebrities from all over Shandong.
The literati have the same name, so I will write more invitations in my own handwriting."
Good to show my respect for them” Wu Yong said: "Okay, I'll ask someone to deliver it right now."
After Wu Yong sent someone to deliver the letter, he also came to attend the dinner.
When the moon first rose, the lanterns of Shi's Mansion were hung high, illuminating the mansion like daylight.
Seeing Liu Tang and others approaching, Shi Jin hurriedly walked out of the courtyard gate and said, "Shi Jin was busy attacking the Suzhou Prefecture of Liao State a few days ago.
He was not in Dengzhou.
I have neglected a few people.
Please forgive me."
Liu and Tang also hurriedly raised their hands and said, "I don't dare.
Xiao Ke has heard that the general defeated the Liao soldiers, which greatly increased the prestige of our Song Dynasty.
Xiao Ke heard that the general was recruiting people to join Yanyun.
This happened to Xiao Ke It has been my long-cherished wish.

Xiao Ke is willing to serve as a pawn in the general’s tent.
Please take him in.”
When Shi Jin heard this, he stood happily and said, "It's a great honor for Shi Jin that you are willing to come to help.
Come on, please come inside.
I have prepared a banquet for you all."
In the atrium, more than a dozen tables were placed, and several people sat down with humility.
After drinking for three rounds, Shi Jin said to Liu Tang, Tang Bin, Cui Ye, Wen Zhongrong, and Han Bolong: "We are all warriors, and we don't like to beat around the bush like literati."
Shi Jin said it directly. , you should know that the Liao Kingdom has a vast territory, with vast grasslands and mountains, especially on the northeastern road of the Liao Kingdom, where there are continuous mountains and forests, and familiar terrain.
The brave and capable Jurchen clan.
If our army continues to move north, it will sooner or later encounter those Jurchen warriors.
Although we have infantry in the Liangshan Army, we lack infantry who are good at fighting in the mountains and forests in the future.
To fight, I intend to form a special mountain infantry army.
I would like to invite a few generals to serve as this new army.
I don’t know what they think.”
In addition to the mountains and forests in the Northeast, there are also mountains and forests in Korea, the south of China, and South Asia, which are all mountainous and forested places.
If we want to conquer these in the future, it is absolutely necessary to form a specialized mountain and forest combat force.
The infantry commanders Lu Zhishen and Wu Song had straightforward personalities and were accustomed to charging and fighting.
If they were asked to form a mountain forest force that required small-scale and small units to fight in the mountains, they would probably get half the result with half the effort.
Therefore, Shi Jin felt that it would be better to let the new defectors form a new army, which might have better results.
Hearing that he would take on important responsibilities as soon as he came, Liu Tang and the others would not agree.
Several of them quickly stood up and raised their hands, shouting: "The general values so much, how dare Xiaoke not do the hard work of dogs and horses?"
Shi Jin heard this and smiled and said: "Hahaha, there are a few people who can help me.
Why can't I pacify the Liao Kingdom and recover Yanyun?
Everyone, please"
"General, please" Liu Tang and others quickly raised their glasses and saluted.
After arranging Liu Tang and others, Shi Jin looked at the red-bearded dragon Fei Bao, the curly-haired tiger Ni Yun, the Taihu Jiao Bu Qing, and the thin-faced Xiong Dicheng and said, "I heard that the four Taihu brothers all know the nature of water and are used to sailing boats on rivers.
People, I should have enlisted you in the navy, but the oceans and rivers are different after all, and the way I fight is also very different.
Putting the four of you into the navy will harm you.
Therefore, I want to ask you to form a caravan in Dengzhou to get familiar with the sea, and then transfer to the navy.
This is not because Shi Jin underestimates the four of you.
For the safety of our brothers, even the veterans of our navy, Liu Jun, Zhang Heng, and Ruan Xiaoer, please understand."
When he first heard that Liu Tang and the others were planning to form a new infantry army, Shi Jin asked the four brothers to set up some kind of caravan.
He simply looked down upon the four brothers.
They wanted to leave on the spot, but when they heard that the three leaders of the Liangshan Navy came here like this, they thought that maybe the sea was really very different from the rivers.
This aroused their curiosity and wanted to see what the ocean is like.
Fei Bao and four other people also stood up and raised their hands and said, "The general must have a profound meaning in this arrangement.
We have no objection."
Hearing that the four people accepted, Shi Jin said happily: "Tomorrow I will ask the fortune teller Jiang Jing to allocate manpower and funds to the four of you, so that you can form a caravan as soon as possible and become familiar with the sea."
Although there is a big difference between oceans and rivers.
No matter how wide a river is, it still has banks, but the ocean is so vast that it has no end.
For those who run rivers, three to five days on a boat is considered a long time.
But if you travel by sea, it is possible that you won’t see land for a month or two.
If you are not mentally prepared, boredom can drive a person crazy.
But this was not the biggest reason why Shi Jin wanted to pay for them to form a caravan.
The biggest reason is that the goats shipped from Liaodong are now sold like crazy in Shandong
