Zhang Su said: "Master Shi, please!" smiled and walked forward with Shi Songzhe.

Seeing that Zhang Su's order could not be changed, Jia Fang stomped his feet hatefully and led the guards to turn around and leave.

The two teams, mixed together, followed Zhang Su and Shi Songzhe to continue to move forward.

Along the way, Shi Songzhe talked and laughed, which made Zhang Su sigh and admire in his heart. The people in the officialdom really endured it and suffered a big loss, but Shi Songzhe did not show his face at all, as if nothing had happened.

Zhang Su doesn't think that Shi Songzhe is a coward, but a person who will repay him, and now he is just a hero who does not suffer losses in front of him.

After another intersection, suddenly a small guard colonel ran over and said, "Report to the general, Master Tongzhiyu led a group of entourage, walking slowly, blocking the way, do you want to overtake?"

When Zhang Su heard this, he almost laughed angrily and scolded: "Are you addicted to charging and getting dizzy?"

Attacking Shi Songzhe's team, but on a whim, it had the intention of embarrassing Shi Songzhe, and the result almost caused a big war, which already made Zhang Su regret it. Impacting other local officials again, embarrassing others again and again, is it possible that Zhang Su can really cover the sky with one hand?

What's more, this time I went to the banquet, I originally wanted to have a good relationship with local officials, impact others again, and also make a good relationship with fart, and I was able to kill him directly.

The guards were embarrassed and retreated.

Shi Songzhe pretended not to see it, and when Zhang Su's face softened slightly, Yu Changjing had already walked over with a smile.

"General Zhang, a rare guest!" Yu Changjing said with a smile, "When I went out today, I heard a magpie calling, and sure enough, I met a distinguished guest on the way." ”

Zhang Su's face was slightly red.

Zhang Su called himself a rare guest, which was nothing more than a sarcasm that he never attended the banquet of local officials, but this sarcasm was somewhat intimate, and he couldn't help laughing: "Lord Yu said that he was joking! In front of my lord, who dares to call the word 'expensive'?"

Zhang Su and He Ji and others have been at odds for a long time, but they don't have much trouble with Yu Changjing, but they don't have any contact.

Shi Songzhe's heart was tired for a while.

Since ancient times, the magpie is called by the distinguished guest, and the noble guest can still be called the magpie when he meets the road, and he is not afraid of people's jokes.

Besides, it is not good for magpies to call in the morning, crows and night owls at night, and ghosts to call. Shi Songzhe said maliciously in his heart.

"Master Shi is also here. Yu Changjing turned his face to look at Shi Songzhi and complained, "Master He held a banquet and invited the three of us, but the two of you went to the banquet together, but you didn't ask me to go with you, did Yu offend you?"

Zhang Su's face was full of embarrassment, and he was about to speak, Shi Songzhe smiled and said, "Lord Yu is serious." I also met General Zhang by chance, but we hit it off at first sight and had a good conversation, so we went to the banquet together. I don't want to meet Master Yu just in time, it's really a coincidence that I came early. ”

Yu Changjing nodded, and said with emotion: "The soldiers are coming to the city, and they need to be reconciled the most, no matter how many personal grievances there are in the past, they need to be put down, otherwise Dongxing will be in danger! You have done a good job, as long as you are sincerely united, why worry about the soldiers of thousands of ants in the Northern Wei Dynasty?"

Zhang Su nodded, and said magnanimously: "The grievances in the past, in the final analysis, are just some disputes of will, compared with the lives of thousands of people in Dongxing City, compared with the major events of defending the land and defending the country, it is really insignificant, don't mention it." Zhang guards Dongxing City, and he still needs the help of all adults. ”

Shi Songzhe straightened his face and snorted: "Hmph, the generals have been at odds since ancient times, how can Xia Guan and General Zhang be an exception?"

Zhang Su and Yu Changjing were stunned, Zhang Su's face changed slightly, but Shi Songzhe smiled slightly: "So, at the wine table for a while, we will not be able to distinguish the winner from the loser and never give up!"

Yu Changjing was stunned, and scolded with a smile: "With your little bit of alcohol, you still want to share the victory with General Zhang? ”

Zhang Su breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head, and said, "It seems that I have to prepare to sleep under the table." ”

Yu Changjing and Shi Songzhe burst out laughing.

After greeting each other, the three of them talked very harmoniously, Yu Changjing was about to turn around, and glanced behind Zhang Su and Shi Songzhe casually, and his brows immediately furrowed.

"What's going on?" Yu Changjing asked in a stiff tone.

Behind Zhang Su and Shi Songzhe, the guards scuffled together, punching and kicking, pushing and shoving, and some even moved knives and guns, mixed with curses and screams, and the melee was a mess.

Zhang Su and Shi Songzhe walked side by side, and the guards behind naturally refused to let anyone go first, so they had to walk side by side. The streets and alleys are narrow, there is inevitably physical contact, there has been a conflict between the two teams, but when they are marching, no one dares to lightly start the incident, so as not to delay the trip, but the resentment keeps accumulating, once stopped, it will be like a lit powder keg, invariably erupted.

"Stop...... Stop it!" Shi Songzhe hurriedly shouted, jumping to his feet in a hurry.

"Stop immediately, those who violate the order will be killed!" Zhang Su shouted sharply, "The two teams are separated, the whole team is on the side of the road, those who hesitate will be killed!"

Zhang Su shouted three times in a row, and when the guards heard this, they quickly formed a team and stood on the side of the street, not daring to come out.

Yu Changjing sank his face and said, "What are you doing here?"

Shi Songzhe said embarrassedly: "The place is small, and the guards rush to the line and do not give in to each other, so there is a conflict. ”

Yu Changjing said slightly angrily: "It's just a small birthday banquet, General Zhang is the one who leads the troops, and it is understandable to bring more sergeants, why are you bringing so many guards?"

"This ...... This," Shi Songzhe stammered, "the big war is coming, I will bring more guards to be safe." ”

Yu Changjing eased his tone and said disapprerovingly: "Are you so afraid of death? Around Hefu, there is a post in three steps, a sentry in five steps, and the patrol team patrols all the time, and the safety is completely safe." Dongxing City was originally underarmed, and the Northern Wei army would attack the city at any time, so you have so many guards, why don't you let them go up to the city wall to defend the city? But why do you come to eat a few noodles and bring so many people over? Come to eat, fight, or show off?"

Shi Songzhe's face was slightly embarrassed, and he said: "This matter is not considered by the lower officials. ”

Shi Songzhe turned around and stood still, and said sharply: "Leave five guards behind, and the rest will go to the city wall to wait." ”

Despite the reluctance on his face, Ding Lie still muttered while leading the guards to turn around and leave, and after a while, the alley was empty, leaving only Zhang Su's guards standing aside like stone pillars, which looked very eye-catching.

Zhang Su saw at a glance that there were only five guards, miscellaneous servants and troupe musicians left on Shi Songzhe's side, and Zhang Su had already found that in the depths of the alley not far behind Yu Changjing, there were one or twenty entourage, among which there were only a few sergeants.

After a moment of silence, Zhang Su said in a deep voice: "Leave fifteen guards, and the rest will wait to return to the camp and wait!"

Zhang Su was not worried about the assassins.

There are fireworks signals on the guards, and they only need to ignite the rockets in case of trouble, and as long as they can resist for a while, the defenders can arrive; moreover, Jia Fang is a shrewd and cautious person, although he leads the guards back, he will never leave behind; in addition, even if he is surrounded, Zhang Su himself is not a vegetarian, there are fifteen guards by his side, if he wants to break through the siege and escape for his life, there are not many people in Dongxing City who can stop him.

Looking at the slightly empty street, Yu Changjing and Shi Songzhe looked at each other and smiled.

Not long after, the group came to the Yichun Garden of Hefu, and He Ji personally greeted him in the courtyard, which was enough to give Zhang Su face.

"General Zhang, He Mou was offended in the past, and I hereby apologize to General Zhang. He Ji said with emotion.

After a pause, He Ji said sincerely: "There have always been many discords among local civil and military officials in South Vietnam, all because South Vietnam has developed waterways and prosperous commerce. In the management of commerce and trade, there are many overlaps between the military and local functions, and the interests are conflicting, so it is naturally difficult to get along, which is also a disadvantage of the imperial court, which has been around for a long time, and it is not that He specifically targeted General Zhang. He Mou has always been indifferent to fame and fortune, but there are many officials at all levels in the state and county, and everyone has to eat, even if He Mou does not fight, he will be forced by them to fight for it, and he has a quarrel with General Zhang, and He Mou is also helpless. ”

Not only Lianzhou, but also the civil and military officials of the prefectures and counties along the river are fighting to the death. However, General Zhang is well aware of the righteousness, does not fight, does not fight, and only disdains us. At present, we need to put aside our prejudices and cooperate sincerely to defend the city. Yu Chang said with deep admiration.

Hearing this, Zhang Su almost laughed angrily.

Damn, why are you so indifferent to fame and fortune? The land in Lianzhou has almost been scraped off by you, can you be shameless? You have a large number of officials, everyone wants to eat, but Lao Tzu's subordinates don't eat? Seeing that the soldiers are approaching the city, the head of the meal is about to fall off, and then Lao Tzu wants to put aside his prejudices and cooperate with you? If it weren't for abandoning the city and losing the face of the Zhang family, Lao Tzu would have been eager to let the Northern Wei army enter the city and slaughter you all.

Thinking like this in my heart, the resentment melted away a lot.

The discord between local civil and military officials in South Vietnam is indeed a major drawback, and He Ji is not wrong, this is not aimed at Zhang Su, but the situation is such that it has to fight.

In fact, even if I don't want to fight, sometimes I have to fight, because behind the officials, there is often not one person.

Zhang Su secretly hated in his heart, not that Zhang Su couldn't fight, but that he couldn't fight. Lianzhou County was run by He Ji like an iron barrel, impermeable, and Zhang Su had no way to interfere.

Now Dongxing City will be in the hands of Zhang Su, although He Ji is still the head of Lianzhou, but the army is in the hands of Zhang Su, everything will be no longer in the hands of He Ji, but to get through the current difficulties in defending the city, he Ji and others need to cooperate.

Thinking of this, Zhang Su said quietly: "The two adults are serious. The army outside the city is coming to the city, and compared to life and death, the interests are just floating clouds. Let him pass in the past, and don't mention it again. ”

He Ji was overjoyed when he heard this, his eyes narrowed, almost sunk into his fat face, and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." ”

Chunyulou is located in the back garden pond, the pond bank is made of stone, the color is green or white, the gap is covered with grass and wild flowers, or covered with moss, the stream water flows, like a jade epsom, the vicissitudes of life contain quiet and elegant, simple and delicate. In the corner of the wall on the shore, there are beautiful trees everywhere, and the strange flowers are splendid.

In the depths of the lush flowers, a three-storey small building is exposed, the lofty pavilion is towering, the carved beams and painted buildings, it looks extremely delicate and gorgeous.

Although Zhang Su is a military general, he also reads poetry and books, and is not a vulgar person, and sighs lightly: "I have also seen many gardens, which are not as exquisite as adults. ”

He Ji chuckled and said: "It's just a courtyard of a house built with a bunch of stones, if General Zhang likes it, he will give it to the general after the war." ”

"How can Zhang win people's love, Lord He laughed. Zhang Su said, and the evil feeling for He Ji in his heart was greatly reduced.

As the saying goes, punches don't hit smiling people. Shi Songzhe, Yu Changjing and He Ji were extremely humble, which made Zhang Su feel a little embarrassed.

Although Zhang Su has always hated He Ji, he had to rely on He Ji to defend the city, and in fact, he was forced to accept He Ji in his heart. Whether Zhang Su wanted it or not, he was forced to bury his disgust deep in his heart. The three of them repeatedly explained, trying to bridge the gap, which somewhat alleviated Zhang Su's disgust.

Now that even He Fu can send it off, although Zhang Su will not fully accept He Ji and others, he can't hate it.

"Hate, just stay after the war, we need unity in front of us. Zhang Su thought, his heart relaxed.

He Ji led everyone into the first floor of the Spring Rain Building. There were five maids standing in the building with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and a color of brocade palace skirts, and when they saw a few people coming in, they all brushed their knees and bowed.

The first tall maid said crisply: "Please." ”

He Ji was silent, nodded, and led the three of them to the stairs.

At this time, he saw that the maid ring stopped the guard Zhang Su who was following closely behind, and said, "Master Jun, the place upstairs in the spring rain is narrow, please stay." ”
