The next day, under the city of Linxiang.

Wen Ping Fu Jian came when he heard the news, because he heard that Zhang Xian's subordinates had killed Zhang Xian and came to offer his head. Originally, he also wanted to estimate that it would take more than ten days for Zhang Xian to be defeated.

I didn't expect him to be quite powerful.

pressed the sword and glanced at it, it was the head of Zhang Xian and his subordinates, and his eyes were still open angrily, as if he was dead.

"Hehe, it is really a great good for you to abandon the darkness and cast into the light, and when the lord takes Xiangyang, I will invite the two generals to take credit." Wen Ping said heartily.

The two were overjoyed and hurriedly hugged their fists and thanked them.

"Since the two generals have abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, it is better to hold high the banner of the generals and gather the rout, which is another great achievement, I don't know if the two generals are willing to go."

Wen Ping asked.

"We will obey the order."

After doing this, Wen Ping turned around and left, and said at the same time: "Can the news come from the lord's side?" ”

"Not yet, but I heard from General Zhang Xian that the lord has taken Xiangyang and is rushing to Changsha by land and water." The general clenched his fists and said heartily, "However, the general's achievements in this battle are high, and he will take Changsha alone, and the lord will definitely have a reward." ”

"The lord took Xiangyang so quickly?"

Wen Ping raised his eyebrows, quite surprised, and at the same time said without arrogance or rashness: "Pass the order, restrain the generals of all departments, do not disturb the people, bully the people, and punish them heavily." ”

"In addition, rectify the three armies, wait for the battle, and when the lord arrives, he will definitely send people to recover Guiyang, Lingling, and Wuling counties."

"No!" The ministers will rejoice.

In this battle, even if they are not the first attack, it is a big victory, not only is there a reward for the appointment of the scholars, but they can also follow the officials to enter the knighthood, and they are really rich and dangerous.

Then, for three days.

Wen Ping collected more than 20,000 of Zhang Xian's routs, and the remaining 20,000 horses may have gone up the mountain or returned home, of course, there are not a few who died in the belly of the beast.

For a time, Wen Ping held 40,000 fine armor, even if he established himself as the king at this time, it was okay.

…………

A hundred miles away, the army stretched for more than ten miles.

At this time, the cavalry rushed wildly and shouted urgently: "Report~, lord, General Wen captured Linxiang half a month ago, and now Zhang Xian has been beheaded, swallowing his armor and waiting for the lord." ”

"Zhang Xian is dead?" Zhang Xiu raised his eyebrows and said.

"Three days ago, he was beheaded and killed by his subordinates." The sentry said urgently.

"Hehe, good, a good clerk, who pulled a team of thousands of partial teachers to tens of thousands, and finally lived up to my hard work." Zhang Xiu laughed heartily.

Xu Shu also sighed, hugged his fists and said: "Lord, General Wen is brave and good at fighting, and this time he attacked Linxiang by surprise, it can be said that he has made a great contribution and should be rewarded." ”

"However, he acted without being on the table, and he should be punished."

Zhang Xiu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and said in a deep voice: "Yuan Zhi should know that the general will not be subject to foreign military orders, if it is passed back and forth, how can there be such a big victory?" ”

"The lord has misunderstood the meaning of his subordinates, and the lord can punish the number of one hand, and then the reward will be more than twice as much. Otherwise, in the future, all the generals in the battalion will use this as an excuse to use troops without authorization, what should the lord do? ”

Xu Shu's eyes burned and he looked at Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu frowned, and couldn't help nodding and said: "But I was negligent, this wind really can't last, if you win, it's okay, but if you lose, it will be a fiasco." ”

"The lord is wise," Xu Shu said with relief.

"Okay, since Zhang Xian has already been ambushed, then I will lead the guards to gallop to Hunan first, and Yuan Zhi will lead the army later." Zhang Xiu said heartily.

"No!" Xu Shu should go down.

…………

At noon, Linxiang City.

Zhang Xiu led his guards to gallop on horseback, so that Wen Ping could not go out of the city to greet him.

Enter the city and take a slight glance.

Everything in the city is still in order, and the people who come and go have lost their earlier fears, and have begun to be busy, living a life of going out early and returning late again.

After a while, it will be outside the house.

Wen Ping and the ministry will have been looking forward to it for a long time.

At this time, looking at Zhang Xiu's arrival, Wen Ping led the generals to take a step forward, hugged his fists and said: "The last general will see the lord." ”

Zhang Xiu's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Wen Ping, this battle you did not follow the order and acted without authorization, it is really a big mistake, if I don't punish you, it will be difficult to convince the public." ”

"And remove you from the post of general, and demote you to the commander, you can accept the punishment."

Wen Ping lowered his head and said in a trembling voice: "The last general will admit punishment." ”

Behind him, the generals looked at each other, a little unconvinced, wanted to defend but didn't dare, as for Wei Yan, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhang Xiu with his spare eyes.

"However, in this battle, you bravely ascended first, first took Jiangxia, and then broke Linxiang, repeatedly defeated the thief generals, and even returned Zhang Xian's head, which is really a big victory."

"Our army can enter Jingnan so easily, you are indispensable, after the class division, I will go to the imperial court, move you to the general of Annan, and command the two troops and horses."

Zhang Xiu's voice was loud.

Hearing this, Wen Ping was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "The last general will thank the lord for his promotion, and he will be conscientious and conscientious, and he will live up to the trust of the lord." ”

He naturally knew why Zhang Xiu's move was degraded first and then moved, the purpose was to let others not follow suit, otherwise they would be punished if something happened, which can be regarded as a multi-faceted consideration.

Moreover, this time, he was directly listed as General Annan from the miscellaneous general, and it can be said that the officer was promoted to three levels, and the unified army was doubled, so that he could better train his generals.

Because of this, the joy behind them will be revealed, and the promotion of civil employment means that they will be promoted, and the most direct promotion will increase a lot.

"By the way, my lord, I will introduce you to someone." Wen Ping glanced at Wei Yan, he wanted to keep Wei Yan by his side as a general, but the latter was obviously unwilling to be subordinate.

"Oh~, who is it!"

"Wen Chang, don't meet the lord soon." Wen Ping said in a deep voice.

"Centurion Wei Yan, I've seen the lord." Wei Yan's face was resolute, his expression was not smiling, and he was neither humble nor arrogant at this time.

"Wei Yan?" Zhang Xiuyu raised his eyebrows lightly, he didn't ask for Wei Yan earlier because there was no relevant record during this period of history, but he didn't expect that he was really in Changsha.

This is a fierce general, brave and strategic, brave in battle after returning to Liu Bei, promoted one after another, and finally Duzhen Hanzhong, a rare general in Shu Han.

It's just a pity that he died, because he had a grudge with Yang Yi and slandered each other, and in the end Yang Yi won, Wei Yan fled, chased and killed the three clans.

"Lord, Wen Chang is brave and good at fighting, and he is proficient in the art of war, this time he covered up Zhang Xian, and he repeatedly offered strategies, which is why he won easily." Wen Ping did not hesitate to praise.

"Oh~," Zhang Xiuwen smiled, and then said: "Wei Yan, Zhongye recommended you like this, I should use it for myself." I just don't know what position you want to hold? ”

Wei Yan smiled and looked at Zhang Xiu like a torch, and after a long time, he hugged his fists and said: "It's all up to the lord's arrangement, even if he is just a groom, Yan has no complaints." ”

"Hehe," Zhang Xiu smiled, this Wei Yan is really vigilant, but this person is worth cultivating, "I am the only one, you don't need to worry, just speak out." ”

Wei Yan stared at Zhang Xiu for a long time, then he hugged his fists and bowed his head and said: "Lord, with the work of the last general, he will serve as the commander of the capital at most, and he will be in charge of thousands of people, but the last general is confident that he can be in charge of one alone, and he hopes that the lord will be successful." ”
