To Zhang Xiaowu's surprise, the wounded soldiers heard that the defenders of Mucheng had chosen someone to go north to rescue Jincheng and asked for battle one by one, saying that they must choose themselves, and a letter of invitation to war blood was sent to Zu Gongmao, which annoyed Zu Gongmao one head and two big. This war horse is not ready, please have more war books than war horses, and the wounded soldier with one arm ran to Zu Gongmao and said: "My lord, I can fight eight of them alone, please let me kill back and rescue the Pao Ze brothers." ”

"Let me see what you're capable of." Zu Gongmao kicked over, and the man fell to the ground and shouted, "My lord, you beat me, you must take me away." ”

Zugong Mao smiled angrily: "Your mother, are you touching porcelain with me?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu was moved by the wounded soldiers' desire to rescue Paoze, this is the real Han army, the big waves of sand to remove the false and keep the true, they are the essence of the army, they embody the patriotism, tenacity, blood, and brave spirit of the Han army. However, Zhang Xiaowu also knew that although these people were high-spirited, their health did not allow it, so he demanded that the wounded soldiers must recover before they could participate in the selection.

Is it dragging a leg to kill Inuyi? Zhang Xiaowu's army went to save 30,000 Han troops, not to sell miserably and beg for pity.

Then Chen Qing ran to the garrison mansion without incident, saying that he was ready to sacrifice a long time ago, and if he didn't take him with him in this battle, he would organize his own soldiers to go. Zhang Xiaowu instructed Guan Cheng to close the door when he saw Chen Qing in the future and not let him in.

A few days later, the remaining 8,000 exiled prisoners of the princelings were escorted here, eight days earlier than originally planned. There are more than 50,000 princelings left, of whom 42,000 were released by His Majesty's amnesty, and the remaining 8,000 are family members of felons.

The escorted former general Che was very curious about Zhang Xiaowu, and handed over another letter, Zhang Xiaowu took the letter, and saw that the letter writer was Zhang Biao, but he didn't know who Zhang Biao was. General Qianche said in a low voice: "Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Rites, a scholar of Tai Academy University." ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "I don't know any scholars, let alone this scholar." ”

"The son of Zhang Kuan, the left minister."

Zhang Xiaowu was secretly frightened, immediately opened the letter, saw the Yayan text in the letter, and suddenly his head was big, and said: "Brother Tai is the road, the younger brother is the east at night, please Brother Tai have a drink in Wangchun Building." ”

"Well said, well said."

Before the banquet, Zhang Xiaowu finally understood what Zhang Biao wrote, it turned out that Zhang Biao learned that Zhang Xiaowu had written a poem "Will Return", and was shocked, and invited Zhang Xiaowu to go to Beijing on the day he must be informed, and hoped to have a deep talk with him. Zhang Xiaowu asked what kind of character Zhang Biao, the former general named Wei Yuan, was, and suddenly wrote him a letter, which made him a little confused.

Wei Yuan laughed and said that this Zhang Biao is a bachelor in the dynasty, and he is the first in the dynasty in terms of learning, and His Majesty is taught by Zhang Biao little by little, and Zhang Biao will be the prince of the dynasty a few years later. However, Zhang Biao does not like court disputes, nor does he participate in any party disputes, and hangs the official body of a foreign minister of the Ministry of Rites, and rarely participates in court politics.

"The people of the capital give the nickname Zhang Nerd." Wei Yuan smiled and said, "Once, a student who entered Beijing to take the exam left half a pair in the teahouse, and everyone couldn't come out, so Zhang Nerd sat in front of the pair for three days and three nights without sleep, and finally made the next couplet, and then slept for two days and two nights, almost frightening the students of Tai Academy to think that they would never see the teacher again." ”

Zhang Xiaowu couldn't help laughing, it turned out that this Zhang Biao was just a bookworm.

Wei Yuan said again: "General Zhang, Your Majesty trusts you a lot, even if there are villains, Your Majesty always believes that the general can keep Saibei." ”

Zhang Xiaowu arched his hand to the south and said, "Don't dare to live up to the emperor's grace." He then said: "General Wei, dare to ask why the eight thousand rebellious family members were exiled here, you must know that at this time, a large number of soldiers of the Qinglong Army gathered in Mucheng......

Wei Yuan waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty trusts you, and if you hand it over to you, you will definitely be able to handle it properly." If you give it to someone else,......" he lowered his voice and said, "If someone else is afraid of treating everyone harshly, it will cause the soldiers of the Qinglong Army to worry, and force others to commit treason." ”

Zhang Xiaowu paused for a long time before he understood the reason, and he couldn't help but praise the wisdom of Emperor Dade, and he also felt ashamed that he had been afraid that someone in the court would murder him.

Emperor Dade knew that there were many princelings in Mucheng, and sent the exiled prisoners to Mucheng to take care of them, so as to appease the emotions of the Qinglong Army. At this time, the prince had died violently, and the Qinglong Army had no support, and Emperor Dade appeased the heart of the Qinglong Army. But Emperor Dade only knew one and didn't know the other, he thought that the Qinglong Army was loyal to Xuanyuan Zixun, but he didn't know that the Qinglong Army had long been disheartened because of Xuanyuan Zixun's ignorance and selfishness, and even many people hated it to the core.

But Zhang Xiaowu knew the mind of Emperor Dade, so he decided to treat them well, he gathered more than 8,000 servants, seeing that children accounted for one-third, women accounted for one-third, old people and young men accounted for the remaining one-third, the heart was shocked and sad, this is the end of the failure of the struggle for the crown, if Xuanyuan Zi followed the emperor, these more than 8,000 people will enjoy the supreme glory and wealth, maybe at this moment, the 8,000 servants here is Zhang Dang.

"No, it definitely won't be someone from the Zhang Party." Zhang Xiaowu secretly thought in his heart, "Xuanyuan Zixun is not a benevolent person like Emperor Dade, if he is called the emperor, I am afraid that Zhang Dang will not be punished by the Nine Clans, and he will have to be wiped out, Longcheng City will not only kill more than 300 parties, and it is not Xuanyuan Zixun's character to kill 30,000 people." ”

The exile prisoners raised their heads and looked at the young and handsome general on the high platform, and they were surprised in their hearts, it turned out that this person was the famous ghost general Zhang Xiaowu, they were surprised that this person was so young, but in any case, they couldn't see that this person looked like a rakshasa ghost, how did everyone say that he was cruel on the way here. A few people whispered, but they were soon stopped by the guards of the guards, and everyone was worried about their situation, especially the nearly three thousand women, who were either wives of rich and noble families, or daughters and maids, all of whom looked more beautiful than the women of Saibei Mucheng, and they lowered their heads in horror, avoiding the greedy and savage gazes of the people around them.

Zhang Xiaowu shouted: "I am the guard of Mucheng, the ghost general Zhang Xiaowu of Saibei, from today on, you are the people under my rule, since you are in Saibei, I will talk about the rules of Saibei, I only have three rules, the first one, listen to me, the next day, listen to me, the third one, and listen to me!" Listen to me, you can live, because I know the rules of survival in Saibei better than any of you! You, from today onwards, children are my children, men are my soldiers, women are my sisters, and the elderly are my family. But if anyone dares to betray me and betray me, I will gouge out his brain and eat it bite by bite! Do you understand? ”

Everyone looked at him in horror, where did they dare to speak, and they didn't even dare to look at him, one by one, they were silent, and they seemed to understand it thoroughly.
