Zhang Xiaowu clenched the handle of his waist knife uncontrollably, a fire rose in his heart, he suppressed his anger and emotions, and took a deep breath.

Imperial Envoy Ji was so frightened that he hurriedly pressed his shoulder and persuaded bitterly: "General Zhang must not be impulsive, must not be impulsive." ”

Zhang Xiaowu's hands were bulging, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Don't worry, Imperial Envoy Ji, I am a soldier, not a reckless man." ”

Imperial Envoy Ji sighed, stuffed the holy decree directly into Zhang Xiaowu's arms, and said: "I don't understand the affairs of the imperial court, why the meritorious ministers are punished instead, and why the villain can be reused." But I can see clearly the hearts of the people, General Zhang is dedicated to the country, fair and selfless, saved tens of thousands of Qinglong Army soldiers in Saibei, and drove away the Inuyi army, protecting my northern territory, and his achievements are covered for thousands of years, how can he be slandered. ”

Zhang Xiaowu looked at the holy decree, returned it to the imperial envoy Ji, and said, "Please also ask Lord Ji to announce the decree in public." ”

"This ......"

"It's okay, my ghost guard is the army of the Holy Han, born as a Han person, and died as a Han ghost."

Only then did the imperial envoy Ji open the holy decree and said: "Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says, Zhang Xiaowu, the general of Saibei, is busy with official affairs during the period of presiding over the military and civilian affairs of Saibei, in order to avoid civil troubles and sympathize with the heroes, he is specially ordered to serve as the commander of the ghost guard, cancel the post of general of Saibei, and the civil affairs of Saibei will be borne by the envoy of Saibei. During this period, Zhang Xiaowu temporarily handled the civil affairs of Saibei and admired this. ”

"Minister, Commander, Thanks." Zhang Xiaowu was naturally angry enough, but he endured it and stepped forward to accept the order quietly.

Imperial Envoy Ji pressed it and comforted him: "General Zhang doesn't have to be angry, outsiders will not interfere too much with you when they come to Saibei, everyone knows that this wooden city exists because of you, and because of you, there is a territory in Saibei, so this envoy of Saibei is just a chore, and no one wants to come." As long as they don't come, this Saibei is still your territory. ”

"My territory?" Zhang Xiaowu sneered, "There is a lack of water here, the land is thin, what do I want to do here?" The Han people in the entire Saibei are in Mucheng, and the residents together are only more than 40,000 people. ”

Imperial Envoy Ji couldn't help but smile: "The imperial court also has this plan, for the empire, this Saibei is really useless, it's just an extra area on the map." But there is no food, no gold and silver, no iron ore, and it is not even suitable for horse farms, but it needs to be paid silver and military rations by the household department every year, so the envoys in the imperial study do not feel the use of Saibei - the only use, I am afraid that the exiled prisoners in the future will have a place of punishment. ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "How does China view Saibei like this? ”

Ji Yu's envoy said: "Without the Crow Gold Granary, Saibei is nothing." ”

Zhang Xiaowu looked up to the sky and sighed, then took the holy decree with a contemptuous smile, and said, "Please also ask Lord Ji to rest a little, Yijin, and entertain Lord Ji." ”

"Lord Ji, please." Wang Yijin took the imperial envoy Ji and everyone to the side hall to rest.

Zhang Xiaowu then looked at everyone, and everyone looked at him helplessly, everyone was silent, and the entire conference hall was full of complicated atmosphere. No one spoke, no one made a sound, everyone sat in their seats, thinking about their own thoughts.

The attitude of the Holy Decree was too sudden, and it had too much influence on the Ghost Guard.

After a long time, Zhang Xiaowu slapped the table and said: "The holy decree is a holy decree, and my generation should naturally obey the holy decree." Be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, do not be tired of yourself, and have two hearts. Xiao Kai, Hu Li, Shen Lindong, Zu Gongmao. ”

"The end will be." Four people were out of the ranks.

Zhang Xiaowu said: "The four of you will go to another country, there is no one available, I have nothing else to send, you each lead a group of sergeants to escort the left and right, you can choose from the army." ”

The four of them were stunned, raised their heads and looked at Zhang Xiaowu carefully, Zhang Xiaowu said: "You go to various places, you can't do it without henchmen around you, the march and combat are different from others, you must have henchmen to protect you." There are only 500 people in this group, and they may not be able to wish you victory, but they can protect you from safety. ”

"General—" The four of them knelt on one knee at the same time, and they were very moved.

Zhang Xiaowu helped the four of them up and laughed: "Actually, what I am most happy about is that in the past three years, you have followed me from the dead battalion to the ghost guard, and you have all survived, without missing arms or legs." So I hope that when you go somewhere else, the next time I see you will be all bearded and full feathers, don't give me a heroic mark to come back. Hahaha, let's take a walk, give Imperial Envoy Ji a pick-up, and ask some more carefully. ”

"Let's go, let's drink."

"I'm going to get drunk with Hu Junhou today."

"That's not easy, Hu Junhou is the belly of the sea, and he can't get drunk."

Several people pulled and shouted and chirped, in fact, they wanted to appease the four of them with noise, and the four of them also pretended to be happy and went to the Drunken Immortal Tower first. Hu Sanwan fell last, stood beside Zhang Xiaowu and apologized: "We didn't find out about this news, it's really a negative ......"

Zhang Xiaowu waved his hand: "It's okay, the heavy snow is blocking the road, and it's normal for us to know about this internal affair in the imperial court." He then said: "Thirty thousand, next send the spies to the capital, you set up a contact point in the capital, and in the future we will go to the capital division, and this contact point will be used." By the way, isn't Zhao Suo rushing back? You sent someone to contact Zhao Suo and help him buy a field in Longdu City, specializing in selling leather boots from Saibei. ”

Hu Sanwan said: "How many people will be sent to him?" ”

"Twenty guys."

"Whoa."

Hu Sanwan was about to leave, but Zhang Xiaowu stopped him again and said, "I see that part of the silver has been transferred to Longdu." Then Zhang Xiaowu personally came to the side hall to invite the imperial envoy Ji, Ji Haiqian thanked the silver, Zhang Xiaowu said that it was always troublesome to the imperial envoy Ji, and how to thank the word. Ji Hai said that the transfer of the four generals of the Ghost Guard is actually the normal transfer of the military department, they know that your subordinates are capable of producing many people, and the military department is more than empty wine bags and rice bags, and less is a hard-working soldier, so they mobilize more of your subordinates.

Zhang Xiaowu asked me again if I have four less cadres, will the imperial court send military candidates over, and the imperial envoy Ji said that the imperial court will transfer two military candidates, but these two military candidates should be assigned or demoted for crimes, and you can't count on them, so your subordinates should still be promoted by themselves.

"Speaking of promoting ......," Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile, "In addition to the four of them, I really have many capable people under me." ”

The two said this, left the general's mansion, and saw some children playing and playing on the side of the road, Ji Imperial Envoy smiled: "Mucheng is more prosperous than the two wolf cities, the streets of the two wolf cities are empty, it is said that there is a plague, our group is so frightened that they dare not stay in the two wolf cities, and they pass the customs directly." ”

Zhang Xiaowu asked more: "How is the wolf guard?" ”

"I didn't see a few." Ji Yu's envoy said, "I didn't see a few when I cleared the customs, I guess because of the cold weather, I hid." ”

Zhang Xiaowu sneered in his heart, the wolf guard will definitely not hide because of the cold, the number of defenders of the wolf guard in the checkpoint has decreased, there is only one reason, and that is the plague broke out in the two wolf passes......
