After saying this, Bian Xi couldn't help but get closer, and said in a low voice with joy: "Junhou, I'm afraid that those three Tun brothers will be under your command in the future." ”

For such a monkey jumping guy, Zhang Luo doesn't hate it at all. He remembered that when he was a student union cadre in middle school, even if he was a member of the literary and art committee, he was promoted, and his joy was naturally indispensable. So Zhang Luo smiled and said: "Lao Bian, now that the three brothers are transported and captured, the three brothers of Tun will be under my command." But when I returned to Guangzong, these three Tun brothers still had to be under the command of the people. You want to do things one yard at a time. ”

Bian Xi has no experience in officialdom, and he has never suffered losses in these aspects. He didn't hear the meaning of the exhortation in Zhang Luo's words, but said indifferently: "Junhou, if you return to Guangzong, you can be promoted to Xiaoqu Shuai, you have to add brothers to you." ”

"Bian team rate!" Zhang Luo put away his smile, "You just said that if I want to be promoted to Xiaoqu Shuai, I have to return to Guangzong City first." But if I lose my armor and return to Guangzong City with heavy casualties, do you think I can still be promoted to Xiaoqu Shuai? If you're afraid, you're going to cut off my head. ”

Hearing this, Bian Xi was stunned, "Junhou, we have won a big victory, how can we lose our armor!" ”

"That's when we won a big battle, and now we haven't moved these captures back to Gwangjong City. What should we do if we are intercepted by the Han army on the road? The Han army will not let us return to the city so smoothly, if we encounter a large army of Han attack, for the lives of my brothers, I can only take everyone to flee back to Guangzong first. When the time comes, let's return to Guangzong in disgrace, even if we have won a big battle, what is the use? Zhang Luo persuaded very seriously, "Lao Bian, you have to start and finish things!" These characters are now drawn at most a skimming. ”

Bian Xi is also a smart person, and after listening to Zhang Luo's words, Fang Cai's burning energy quickly passed. He said seriously: "My subordinates will send people to explore the road now, and we can't let the Han army raid us no matter what." ”

"Let's go." Zhang Luo agrees with Bian Xi's current view. When plundering grain and grass, Zhang Luo was the attacking side, and the Han army was the defensive side. Now that this role has changed completely, Zhang Luo and they have the burden of being captured, and the whole operation has been greatly restricted.

On the afternoon of the second day of September, the brothers of the three tuns who had come to meet them finally arrived. I was also shocked when I looked at the mountain of materials. Of the more than 20,000 catties of supplies, half is grain. There are more than 1,000 catties of salt, and more than 1,000 catties of wine and meat. Five hundred swords, eight hundred spears, a few arrows, and the rest were cloth and other military supplies.

Zhang Luo immediately convened a meeting, "What is urgently needed in the city at the moment is salt, swords, guns and arrows. On the contrary, there is not much shortage of cloth and food. Brothers, the Han army will definitely not give up if it loses these things. I think it's better to ask the brothers who just came to rush back to Guangzong with those thousands of catties of things first. After these most important items are sent back to Yong'an, you will come back to pick up other food and other goods, what do you think? ”

This request is clearly a cheap for the newly arrived three Tun brothers, and it is naturally a great achievement to be able to transport those seizures back to the city. Even if Zhang Luo grabbed it, as long as Zhang Luo failed to return to Guangzong, it was the three Tun brothers who were rewarded first. Such a good thing, the brothers naturally have no reason to refuse. The three tun chiefs immediately agreed to come down.

There is wine and meat, and there is enough food, Zhang slightly buried the pot to make rice, and first let the three brothers of Tun eat with their mouths full of oil, and then send them out. Looking at the back of the brothers who each brought more than ten catties of things on the return journey, Pei Yuanshao was a little puzzled, "The army waits...... Why? This is clearly to make those brothers take the lead. ”

Zhang Luo replied: "Lao Pei, I want to give all the credit this time, so I can't bear to give up these things that don't matter much." But if he was attacked by the Han army halfway, he wouldn't be able to keep even half of the credit. That's why I sent back the most important salt and weapons first. ”

"Then why don't we send it?" Pei Yuanshao was a little angry.

Zhang Luo is very familiar with Pei Yuanshao's strategy, because he had encountered it in the army in his previous life.

The problem is that officialdom has a bit of a big picture of the situation, and it is not a good thing to blindly think only about themselves. Zhang Luo replied: "Since we laid it, we naturally have to manage it to the end." What's the matter of throwing these three Tun brothers here? Sometimes it's not about suffering a loss, but about being responsible. If these three brothers are under my command in the future, they will naturally feel that they will not suffer a loss if they follow me. Even if they don't follow me, if they fight together in the future, these brothers won't think that I am not doing things properly. We are not afraid of offending people, but we don't need to deliberately offend people. ”

Pei Yuanshao thought about it, and probably understood Zhang Luo's thoughts, "Junhou, but I think too little." ”

That's enough, Zhang Luo didn't continue to preach, he changed the topic, "Hmm! By the way, do you remember the words I asked you to write down? ”

At this time, Pei Yuanshao's face immediately turned bad, "But I didn't remember it." ”

"Alas!" Zhang Luo sighed, in the military history books he had read, it was written that the Red Workers' and Peasants' Army had spent great energy in order to strengthen cultural education. Now he understands why the future generations have to spend so much effort and come up with countless methods. During this intense war, where is there so much spirit to learn while fighting? Even if he knew a lot of interesting methods, Zhang Luo didn't dare to use those experiences directly, and before he became Xiaoqu Shuai, he would be able to show off at all.

Thinking of this, Zhang Luo suddenly had another idea. In history, the words that describe some traitors are called "traitorous and loyal", and Zhang Luo's current work is just afraid that there is really such a suspicion. Allegiance to the Taiping Dao was Zhang Luo's means, not Zhang Luo's goal. The only thing Zhang Luo and Taiping Dao have in common is simply fighting for the poor!

Thinking of this, Zhang Luo couldn't help but smile bitterly: "People...... It's just like that. ”

In any case, more than 4,000 catties of things were transported first, and more than 300 brothers even ate and took them, plus two days of food and drink, and there were less than 14,000 catties of materials left to be moved. The work intensity of handling is greatly reduced. The urgent things were transported away first, but Zhang Luo did not urge his brothers to hurry away, but began to strengthen vigilance and restore the physical strength of the troops. At the same time, a little cultural education has been strengthened.

Queue up and report the number is the most basic thing. Left and right, up and down, front and back, southeast and northwest, heaven and earth, and how to write from one to ten, you also have to start learning. It took two days to teach something so simple.

The sergeants did not refuse to learn, but the sergeants had mixed accents, and it was a problem to unify into a consistent language. The sergeants can't be blamed for that. Brothers from all over the world have accents from all over the world, if it weren't for the fact that some brothers could speak Qingzhou dialect and Yuzhou dialect, Zhang Luo would really not be able to deceive the Han army.

The accent cannot be unified for the time being, so the only thing left is to forcibly carry out text education. At this time, Zhang Luo encountered a new problem, just about 20 or so words that are closely related to real life, and the sergeants who have not learned to read and write can't remember them. Zhang Luo didn't know what to say, just a few words, he felt that the children of the future generations would remember it in two days.

Another problem arose was that some of the more urgent sergeants were able to memorize the words, but they were never able to connect the words with reality. encountered this problem, Zhang Luo finally came to his senses.

In later generations, the vast majority of domestic parents began to teach their children to count before they were two years old. Many children can count from one to one hundred at the age of three, and they have the concept of numbers and words through repeated practice. These concepts were repeatedly trained and applied in the process of growing up, at school, at home, and in life, and gradually became tools to which they became completely accustomed.

Zhang Luo's more than 500 brothers range from their teens to their thirties. For the first time, most of them have really introduced words and mathematics into their lives, and forcibly let them establish a connection between their thinking and words and numbers, and for the first time establish the concept of using numbers and words to organize their thoughts.

This is tantamount to being born in the world they have formed, forcibly inserting a completely new system into it. If children learn this way from an early age, they will get used to it before they feel the pain. For the current Taiping Dao sergeants, they can only deeply feel the pain of this process.

On the third day of the ninth lunar month, the brothers of the three tuns who had left last time returned again. This time, the three tun chiefs came up and asked for warmth, and they were a lot closer to Zhang. There was also a guard of Zhang Liang who brought Zhang Liang's will. Zhang Liang praised Zhang Luo's contribution in his will and promoted Zhang Luo to Xiaoqu Shuai. Ling Zhang Luo led the men and horses of the headquarters and the brothers of the three tuns to carry the remaining materials back to Guangzong City.

Whether it was Bian Xi, Pei Yuanshao, or Zhou Cang, they were all quite surprised by this order. Xiaoqu Shuai is equivalent to the "captain" of the Han army. The captain is the officer in charge of 5,000 soldiers and horses! Originally, they thought that the three Tunhui who came to assist would be merged under Zhang Luo's command. However, Zhang Luo accepted the order as if nothing had happened, and did not argue.

In the past two days, although Zhang Luo did not urge his subordinates to sell all his strength, he was not unhelpful. At this time, the distance from Gwangjong Castle was only one day's journey. After the adjustment of the troops, their physical strength has recovered a lot. After everyone had a great meal, more than 13,000 catties of supplies were distributed to each person, and the troops began to move on.

Taking a chance, Bian Xi ran to Zhang Luo, and he asked quite puzzledly: "Qu Shuai!" Why is this so arranged? ”

Zhang Xiao smiled and said, "Old Bian, do you think these brothers can be regarded as elites?" ”

"Elite indeed!" Bian Xi replied - being able to travel such a long distance in three days can indeed be called elite.

"The above is concerned about this batch of seizures, and is afraid that there will be a mistake on the road, so they naturally send elites to meet them. These brothers must be the backbone of the other teams, how could they be given to us? Zhang Luo actually figured out the joints when he received the order.

Bian Xi was stunned for a moment and understood what Zhang Luo meant, but he couldn't let go, "Qu Shuai, what kind of people will you give us when you return to Guangzong City?" ”

Zhang Luo patted Bian Xi's shoulder, "That's the above matter, let's not worry about it." Let's get some good luck now. Isn't this still back to Guangzong! ”

At this moment, two things happened that Zhang Luo didn't know: First, the great virtuous teacher Zhang Jiao fell ill and died. 2. Huangfu Song arrived at Cangting in Dongjun in August, broke and captured Bu Ji alive, killed more than 7,000 people, and prepared to go north through Yanzhou to support the Han army in Jizhou.
