Zhang Xiaowu waited for the camp to be stationed before he summoned the officers above the rank of chief, and he said solemnly: "Today I received the tiger talisman from the garrison envoy, not because I want to be promoted and make a fortune, but to bring all the people in Mucheng out alive. If we can defend the wooden city, we will defend it, and if we can't hold the wooden city, we will go. ”

Everyone reacted immediately, and Lord Kosa had no idea of defending Mucheng at all, but if they withdrew, wouldn't Lord Kosa become the second Shi Jing?

Xiao Kai immediately said: "My lord, Shi Jing is in front of you!" ”

Zu Gongmao said: "Yes, if the hundreds of thousands of troops of Inuyi besiege the city, how can we resist the hundreds of people." But if we are gone, you will be a sinner of the Holy Han. ”

Zhang Xiaowu said disdainfully: "Am I a sinner of Shenghan?" If I am a sinner of the Holy Han, then the person who appointed the crown prince as the commander of the Blue Dragon Army is not a sinner of my Chinese nation? I don't care about a name, I just need to save the brothers of the Dead Battalion and save the 5,000 soldiers. Cheng Chu didn't know how to fool Shen Lindong and Hu Li, and tricked them into staying in Mucheng. If I don't answer the military order today, they will definitely prevent us from returning to Mucheng, and Hu Li and they are afraid that they will die in Namucheng in a daze. These two idiots, who are usually fine, why are they so confused now. ”

Xiao Kai reminded: "My lord, be cautious." ”

Zhang Xiaowu waved his hand, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I should have died in Tucheng, and if I lived for a few more months, it was already the grace of the king of Hades, so why should others talk about it." The corners of his mouth hung into a light smirk.

Shi Jing's death is a death trap set by the crown prince in order to eliminate dissidents, Shi Jing has been waiting for the signal to retreat, but he has never received the crown prince's military order, so that he missed the best time to retreat, just like the ancient version of "The Assembly".

The 27th Regiment held out for a month and a half and was finally broken by the dogs, and it was not until the whole army was killed in battle that the withdrawal order arrived late, and then Shi Jing became a scapegoat and was given to die - it was not Shi Jing who killed the soldiers and civilians of Mucheng, it was the crown prince.

Now, Cheng Chu and Zhou Senjun also want to use the same method to harm themselves, Zhang Xiaowu will definitely not make Shi Jing's mistakes, he can abide by the rules, and if he can't keep it, he will withdraw in time, and make all preparations for retreat as soon as possible.

Zhang Xiaowu knew that even if he held the wooden city and covered the sky, this would be an unforgivable thing in the military official system monopolized by the Qinglong Army and even the entire Shi clan. Perhaps in the future, his best outcome is to enter the civilian system of the military department and become a general, and the worst outcome is to be ruined and discredited by these scholars.

Whoever is a scapegoat will die sooner or later, and he will not be martyred for anyone.

At night, the moonlight is abundant, as if it were day, and it is difficult for the people who shine to sleep.

Maybe the moonlight was too bright, maybe the climate was too cold, many soldiers could not sleep, Zhang Xiaowu could not sleep, he walked out of the camp tent, patrolling back and forth in the camp, the soldiers on patrol saw him and nodded according to the rules. It was already early autumn, and the temperature was even colder, especially at night, and the soldiers standing guard had to wear cloaks to cover themselves tightly.

The area around the thorn forest was very dry, and the sergeants could not make a fire, so before camping, the sergeants only ate some dry food and drank some strong wine to keep out the cold, but they ate some braised liver.

Under the influence of Zhang Xiaowu, the soldiers of the dead battalion always have two things, one is spirits, which can not only keep out the cold but also clean the wounds, which is a necessary good product for travel.

The second thing is the famous Tucheng stew, Zhang Xiaowu brought the Tucheng stew to Mucheng, and used it in the camp of the dead, animal offal can not only supplement nutrition, but also brightly treat night blindness. When he was in Tucheng, Zhang Xiaowu found that most of the soldiers were undernourished and suffered from transient night blindness. In addition to the treatment of night blindness, animal offal is fruits and vegetables, but Saibei was originally desolate, not to mention fruits, and even vegetables were only wild vegetables and bitter dices, so animal offal was not eaten. Braised liver can be used not only as a medicinal herb, but also as a dish during the march, and even a snack when you are bored. Unlike Tucheng, there is no shortage of food in the Mucheng Dead Soldiers' Camp, and at first they were very reluctant to the taste of braised liver, but they were forced to eat and eat, and they liked to eat it, and there were many people who did not cook it and did not make snacks, and developed a bad habit of eating snacks.

Zhang Xiaowu chewed braised lamb liver while inspecting the various accounts.

The Han army took twenty-six people as a team, and stationed in a tent with a team, and the space inside the tent was not large, and everyone's blades were placed in the end. When the sergeants were marching and sleeping, they usually slept on their pillows, with a short knife under the leather armor, and a waist knife and a simple knife in the center. Although the tent was crowded and crowded with people, everyone slept side by side with each other, and getting along day and night deepened the friendship between the robes and the people.

When Zhang Xiaowu passed by a tent, he heard someone talking in a whisper, so he opened the curtain and walked in, and several soldiers immediately sat up with short knives in their hands, and saw that it was Zhang Xiaowu by the moonlight, so they stood up and saluted. Zhang Xiaowu waved his hand and said softly: "No need to salute, lie down, why don't you sleep." ”

Several other soldiers also woke up, and when they saw Zhang Xiaowu walking in, they hurriedly sat up, wondering how the adults came to their accounts, and the chief hurriedly lit the oil lamp, and asked with a smile: "School Zuo - Lord Captain, you can't sleep either?" ”

"Yes, I can't sleep either, I'll talk to you when I hear you talk." Zhang Xiaowu sat on the ground with a grin, and the others saw that he was so approachable, and their emotions were relaxed. However, a few soldiers were still asleep with big hearts, and the others couldn't help laughing, and said that they would talk to you tomorrow to see if you could still sleep.

Everyone didn't dare to speak, and Zhang Xiaowu asked, "What are you talking about?" Everyone looked left and right, lowered their heads and was silent, Zhang Xiaowu said: "Actually, if you don't say it, I also know what you are talking about, you are discussing the defeat of Yashan, discussing our swimming against the current, and discussing the cowardly Sixth Regiment, right?" ”

The chief smiled and said, "My lord, I won't hide it from you, the sixth regiment is really fucking embarrassing, we were talking about the sixth regiment just now." I didn't expect that Cheng Chu to carry his luggage when he fled for his life, and even took the bed with him, if I was a dog, I would kill Cheng Chu directly. ”

"No, no." Zhang Xiaowu waved his hand and said seriously, "If I am an enemy, the smartest thing to do is to keep a waste like Cheng Chu, think about it, if the waste dies, our Shenghan will change to a powerful general to lead the troops to fight, and they will be the ones who will suffer." It's a blessing to be an enemy of idiots, and if I'm a dog, I'll keep the stupidest enemies and kill the great, like our battalion of dead soldiers. ”

Everyone laughed, and the sleeping soldiers were also woken up, and when they saw Zhang Xiaowu sitting in the center, they hurriedly got up.
