"The seed is not lying, it is indeed a hundred elite soldiers." Zhang Bin's heart is more down-to-earth, with these 100 elite soldiers, his goal is easier to achieve.

"Stop!" When the 100 cavalry was 20 steps away from Zhang Bin, the leading military attache burst into a shout, and in the neighing of horses, the 100 cavalry stopped together, but a killing aura came to his face, which made Zhang Bin couldn't help but feel awe-inspiring in his heart, thinking that this was the demeanor of a hundred elite soldiers in the era of cold weapons.

The military attache who took the lead did not wait for the war horse to stop, so he flew down, hugged his fist at Zhang Bin and said: "Dutou Wang Sunchen is ordered to listen to the dispatch of Hou Zhang's senator. ”

Zhang Bin didn't wait for Wang Sunchen to bow down, so he stepped forward, held the latter's shoulders with both hands, and said with a smile: "Don't be polite to Wang Dutou, the safety of this trip will be handed over to Wang Dutou." ”

"Senator Zhang can rest assured, as long as he lives in his humble position, he will not let Senator Zhang be harmed." Wang Sunchen is a bold person, and he hates to work with those pretentious civil officials, seeing Zhang Bin being easy-going, he is relieved, he is only the lowest-level military attaché, not even a grade, although he has also met Zhang Bin in the army, but he is not qualified to know.

Since Taizu in the Great Song Dynasty 'released military power with a glass of wine', Taizong suppressed the military generals, and Zhenzong said the sentence "There is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book", the status of the military generals is far inferior to that of civil officials.

Today, it is not uncommon for military generals of the same grade to kneel when they see civil officials, although Zhang Bin has no official character, only the official name of the senator, but he has a meritorious reputation.

The most important thing is that he has a world-famous Confucian father, which is why even a high-ranking military general like Chong Ge calls him Biaozi, and Wu Pei, the superintendent, can't bully him unscrupulously.

…… This is the Great Song Dynasty of Xiuwen Yanwu.

Zhang Bin's easy-going behavior is certainly related to his 'three views' habits in later generations, but there is another reason - he remembered the name Wang Sunchen, who is a famous general who is much fiercer than Chong Ge, and even has the name of 'Divine Bow and Flying Tiger General'.

Zhang Bin remembered that there was a book called "Five Thousand Years of China, Who Was the First Man to Bow and Arrow", which talked about the deeds of Wang Sunchen, and compared with many famous generals in the Northern Song Dynasty, Wang Sunchen was all the way to the pinnacle of the people.

"Wang Dutou can call me the word 'Ziyu', and the head of the capital is a bow and hexagram arm, and the name of the divine shooting is also heard of." Although the name is the same, and the era and age are roughly the same, there are many people who have the same name since ancient times, but it is not wrong to be called Wang Sunsin and a marksman.

Zhang Bin probed in his mouth, and secretly looked at Wang Sunchen's body and appearance with the rest of his eyes.

Wang Sunsin looked to be about twenty years old, with a big mouth and a dark and rough face, which could be called ugly, but Zhang Bin noticed that his hands were very large, and his arms were obviously longer than ordinary people, and they were not far from his knees.

Wang Sunchen heard Zhang Bin say this, but his spirit was lifted, he is now only in charge of a hundred people, the most proud is the archery skills of the three armies, can't help grinning: "I don't want to humble myself to a little fame, even Senator Zhang has heard of it." ”

Zhang Bin was embarrassed in his heart, Zhang Bin really didn't know Wang Sunchen before, seeing that Wang Sunchen still didn't call himself a word, and knew that it was necessary to get closer to him in moderation, so he no longer insisted.

Official business is important, after the two met and greeted, they didn't dare to delay time, Zhang Bin gave an order, and the team went out of the city and rushed to the south entrance of Hengshan Meridian Road.

Ten mule carts were connected end to end, Wang Sunchen's 100 cavalry escorted on both sides, Zhang Bin and Wang Sunchen rode horses, parallel in front, back and forth for at least seven or eight days, Zhang Bin had time to get closer to Wang Sunchen's potential stock, and set up friendship.

……

After briefly informing Wang Sunchen of the task of this trip, Zhang Bin asked casually: "Wang Dutou is from Yanzhou?" ”

Zhang Bin was able to tell his hometown, Wang Sunchen was very comfortable, but he said with envy: "The lowly ancestors are all military households, and they have eaten military food in Yanzhou for generations, and when their lowly father was dying, he served as a battalion commander under the command of the old captain, which is no better than Senator Zhang's family of famous Confucianism." ”

Zhang Bin knew that Wang Sunchen said that the old Taiwei was the father of Chong Ge, that is, the famous northwest general Chong Shiheng, and he had been the main figure in dealing with the western thieves with Fan Zhongyan back then.

But even the achievements of Chong Shiheng are far inferior to Wang Sunchen in the original history, Zhang Bin said sincerely: "It is a matter of time before he is brave and brave in the capital, and he has made military merits and entered the official ranks, even if he is like a kind of lieutenant, it is not surprising that he has become the leader in my Great Song Army." ”

When Wang Sunchen heard this, his face was suddenly full of red light, Zhang Bin said the lofty ideals he buried in the depths of his heart, which really spoke to his heart, grinning and laughing: "By Senator Zhang's auspicious words, after returning from this errand, most of the Western Thieves army will besiege Dashun City, so that the lowly position will cut off some more Western Thieves' heads, so as to make more military achievements." ”

Zhang Bin's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Maybe you don't have to wait to return to Dashun City, Wang Dutou can get some Western thieves and make a lot of contributions." ”

When Wang Sunchen heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up like bright stars, and he said urgently: "What does Senator Zhang mean by this?" ”

Zhang Bin said: "There are Western thieves and spies in Dashun City, and most of our trips to Heiluo have been known to Western thieves, and there may be Western thieves on the way, and most of them will also have Western thieves in Heiluo." ”

Wang Sunchen's face suddenly flashed with murder, and he said with a long smile: "I thought it was just a boring escort to Senator Zhang to the Heiluo Department, but I didn't expect that there would be military merits to be fished, Senator Zhang rest assured, as long as the thief who dares to appear in front of us, his head will be our military merit." ”

"However, General Liu and his two thousand men and horses have already entered the Meridian Road in advance, and there should be no thieves before we pass through the pass set by General Liu." Zhang Bin saw that he had successfully aroused Wang Sunchen's meritorious service, and he was determined that with the help of a fierce man like Wang Sunchen, he could kill the Western Xia spy named Yuenu.

……

……

Dashun City was originally at the foot of Hengshan Mountain, and Zhang Bin and his entourage had already arrived at the entrance of the Meridian Road in the afternoon, and arrived at the simple pass camp set up by Liu Changzuo before dark.

Zhang Bin took Wang Sunchen to meet Liu Changzuo, who had a cold attitude, so the two retired and rested in the camp for the night.

The next day, when the sky was bright, Zhang Bin and the others got up, ate some dry food, and set off again.

Compared with yesterday's casualness, Wang Sunsin, who was veteran of military affairs, behaved extremely cautiously today, and sent a small team of sentry scouts before setting off in the morning to investigate in advance where the western thieves might be hiding in ambush, and as they advanced, a spy would come back every ten miles in advance to report in advance.

It is a hundred miles away from Heiluobu, and Wang Sunchen just sent ten sentinels.

Facts have proved that Zhang Bin's speculation and Wang Sunchen's caution are both correct—halfway through the march, a sentry returned in a hurry, flew off his horse, knelt down on one knee in front of Zhang Bin and Wang Sunchen's horses, and said loudly: "Enlighten Senator Zhang, Dutou, five miles ahead of the discovery of western thieves, the number of about two hundred." ”
