Zhang Wuxian paused and said: "Although there is a reason for the incident, according to the laws of the new dynasty, you should be punished to Wancheng as a coolie, and you will not be free within a year, are you willing?"

The rascals heard that they were only free to be imprisoned for a year, not at the cost of their lives. Immediately hurriedly thanked Zhang Wuxian, and the emperor's grace was mighty. In fact, Zhang Wuxian didn't want to punish these hooligans, after all, how the landlord class oppressed the peasants, Zhang Wuxian now sees it clearly in the history books, and the cruel picture is still vivid.

After these dozen people were dealt with, Wang Ba accompanied Zhang Wushu to the prison again. For Zhang Wuxian, although these Diao people who took advantage of the chaos to grab money were not as serious as what the hooligans did, the situation was indeed very serious.

Strictly speaking, these ordinary people can be defined as chaotic people in the laws of the new dynasty, and even if they don't do anything, even if they pick up the bargain, it is because of the low sense of belonging in their hearts and the fact that their hearts are not completely submissive to the new dynasty.

It is precisely because of the existence of such people that great peasant uprisings occur one after another. Therefore, today Zhang Wuxian has grasped these typical examples, and naturally he will not simply let them go. Even if it is not severely punished, it is still necessary to make an example of the chickens and monkeys.

The cell door creaked open, and when everyone saw Zhang Wushu coming, they all knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. Zhang Wuxian didn't even look at these people, but said lightly: "Do you know why I want to arrest you?"

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and no one answered Zhang Wuxian's question. After some time, a young man stood up and said, "Reply to Your Majesty, because I have committed the unpardonable crime of disrespect by colliding with Your Majesty!"

Zhang Wuxian shook his head: "If this is put in the law of Daqi, maybe what you committed is what you said, but if it is put in the law of the new dynasty, it is not the same thing." ”

Seeing that no one could say the right answer, Zhang Wuxian said helplessly: "Because you tend to be inflammatory, you are not completely subordinate to my new dynasty, and your direct cohesion is very poor. In such a situation, you are the most susceptible to the instigation of adulterers. According to the laws of the new dynasty, you can deal with it as you want, where is the king?"

"The last general!" After saying that, Wang Ba commanded a few soldiers to bring these ordinary people out and stood in a row outside, while Wang Ba stood opposite the group. After a pause, he said to the gang: "According to the law of Daqi, you and others should each be fined ten taels of silver, confiscate the property for one year, and be punished with a board on the city wall for one day. and execute!"

With that, a few soldiers pressed these men majestically to the top of the city wall, and made the gang stand in a row on the wall. After finishing it, Wang Bafang sighed and said to Zhang Wuxian: "Your Majesty, it's not a lot of things for the last general, will it be easy to cause public anger in this way?"

Zhang Wuxian smiled and shook his head: "These punishments are just two layers of physical torture for them, and there will be no danger to their lives." I still say that the law cannot show favoritism at any time. ”

Just as the two were talking, the sword wounded spirit suddenly galloped over on a fast horse, and before he could reach Zhang Wuxian, the sword wounded spirit had already jumped off the horse's back, and came to Zhang Wuxian and arched his fist: "Tell Your Majesty, the last general is in armor, and he can't forgive his sins." Your Majesty's big thing is not good, urgent military report!" With that, the sword wounded spirit took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhang Wuxian.

Jian Wound Ling paused and said: "When the brothers were patrolling Wancheng, they found that a large army was stationed on the flat land twenty miles away in the northern suburbs. ”

Zhang Wuxian frowned: "I knew at any time that there would be such a day sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to be so fast." Have you ever seen which country this army belongs to?"

The sword wounded spirit shook his head, indicating that he didn't know: "The enemy camp is very tightly protected, and our informants can't get close at all, let alone further inquire about detailed information. What should I do now, the last general will not dare to make decisions on his own, so he came to tell His Majesty as soon as possible. ”

Zhang Wuxian nodded: "Since they want to fight, our new dynasty naturally can't show weakness." However, I wanted to change slightly, and immediately sent the order down, ordering Zhang Ren to be the envoy and go to the enemy camp to declare war. ”

The Sword Wound Spirit nodded, and went down to deal with the matter. Zhang Wushu looked at the people on the city wall, then looked at Wang Ba, and said, "Wang Ba, you will supervise the execution here first, and I will leave first if I have something to do!"

Wang Ba immediately said in a straight voice: "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" After that, Zhang Wuxian rode Xiaohong back to Wancheng majestically. After all, with such a major event as the army pressing the border, Zhang Wuxian needs to go back immediately to preside over the overall situation.

After arriving in Wancheng, Zhang Wuxian went straight to the meeting hall. I saw Bai Xingsong and Beile Ye standing in the right position, saying something to everyone, and when the two saw Zhang Wuxian walking in, they wanted to give up the right position.

Zhang Wuxian nodded, hurriedly sat up, and told everyone about the army's pressure on the border. After hearing this, Lord Belle immediately took the case: "Ya, I encountered such a stumbling block at the beginning of the new dynasty, see if grandpa doesn't uproot him!"

Bai Xingsong glared at Lord Belle and motioned for him to shut up. Zhang Wuxian thought for a while: "The words are not coarse, there are many difficulties in the initial construction of the new dynasty, this army is indeed something I didn't expect, and being able to think of a surprise attack at this time is not something that ordinary people can do." It seems that the enemy this time should not be underestimated. ”

After everyone discussed for a long time, the envoy in charge of declaring war had already returned, and he repeated what Wang Zhen said to Zhang Wuxian, and at the same time handed Zhang Wuxian a letter.

Zhang Wuxian read the letter carefully, and his brows became tightened: "I didn't expect that this Wang Zhen would join forces with Qi Qing and send 30,000 troops against my new dynasty." I never thought that the first person to attack the new dynasty would be Da Qi. ”

When Lord Belle heard that the master of it was his own brother, he was speechless for a while, and only after a long time did he bow his fist to the people in the council hall and said: "Don't worry, Qi Qing will not miss the major events of my new dynasty because of the love of his children!"

Zhang Wuxian nodded, paused and said: "What this letter says is very clear, in three days, Wang Zhen will personally lead the army to attack the city. ”

Bai Xingsong took the letter, and after reading it, he said: "It also said that this Wang Zhen has sent a lot of people in Wancheng, and they are all aware of our situation. It's also strange, how can you put an undercover agent in your house and tell you?"

Zhang Wuxian snorted coldly with disdain: "This Wang Zhen doesn't play cards according to common sense, I have already understood it." If he wants to do this, he can arrange it if he wants, and don't mess up because of a few words. ”

Everyone nodded their heads one after another, expressing their agreement with Zhang Wuxian's opinion. On this day, the people discussed in the council hall for three hours, and no one even remembered it at noon.

In the end, the result was that the sword wounded spirit personally led 20,000 troops to defend Wancheng. At the same time, Wang Ba and Zhang Ren each led a road of 2,000 cavalry to outflank the enemy from the rear on both sides of Wancheng. At the same time, Gao Chun presided over the overall situation on the city wall, sending all the archers to cover the operation on the city wall.

This time, almost all of Zhang Wuxian's current troops were dispatched, and even Zhang Wuxian was on the city wall to make a response, just in case of emergency. Zhang Wuxian touched the male and female sword on his waist, it seemed that the male and female sword was about to be unsheathed for the second time.

Zhang Wuxian thought about it again and again, and still felt that he should take a look at what kind of situation the army outside was. If you can't know yourself and your opponent, how can you win all battles?

Immediately, Zhang Wuxian rode Xiaohong, wearing cloth clothes, and walked out of the side gate of Wancheng, and quickly whipped towards Wang Zhenjun.

As the intelligence says, Wang Zhenjun's defense is indeed tight, and it has almost exceeded the principle of five steps, one post, and ten steps and one sentry. If you want to sneak in, I'm afraid you'll already be discovered before you even rush in.

Zhang Wuxian rode Xiaohong, hiding in the cornfield, and saw Wang Zhenjun's situation clearly. Suddenly, a thought flashed through Zhang Wu's heart. He patted Xiaohong's head and whispered, "Xiaohong, Xiaohong, you have to run faster later, otherwise neither of us will be able to leave this place." ”

Little Red was extremely human, didn't make any sound, just wagged her tail. Zhang Wuxian grabbed the reins, saw that the gap between the backs of the two soldiers in front of him was getting more and more, and thought to himself that it was now!

Immediately, Zhang Wuxian shouted to drive, and then this little red rushed forward like a burning buttocks, although Zhang Wuxian encountered a lot of archers along the way, and even alarmed Wang Zhen. But Zhang Wushu did not stay in Wang Zhenjun for long. Wang Zhenjun's people didn't know anything except for someone who had just seen a person rushing over on a fast horse, and they didn't know their faces and figures.

After rushing out of the barracks, Zhang Wuxian slowed down, and at this time, he happened to find that Wang Zhenjun was chasing after him. Seeing this, Zhang Wuxian couldn't help but smile. I thought that I couldn't catch the turtle in the urn if I asked you, could it be that you could get it outside?

Despite this, Zhang Wuxian did not speed up. I thought that it was better to create some chaos for them anyway. Immediately, Zhang Wuxian took out a small porcelain bottle from his waist.

Zhang Wuxian remembered very well that this itchy powder was given to him by the previous girl, and the degree of itchiness should not be low. If he didn't use any martial arts, but instead used Gu Niang's medicine to fight against Wang Zhenjun, it would definitely make Wang Zhenjun think that his enemy was not only on the side of the New Dynasty Army, but also on the side of the Jianghu forces.

Thinking of this, Zhang Wuxian simply pretended to fall off the horse. Before Zhang Wuxian could calm down, he was surrounded by many soldiers.

Judging by this scale, it should be a team of 100 people. And the one standing opposite Zhang Wushu should be the centurion among the hundred people.
