As long as Shi Xiong and the others discuss it, things are actually very easy to handle.

Because of the slaughter of the enemy in Shanxi, the people of Hengzhou have long hated it, and they are eager to eat its flesh and sleep on its skin, not to mention that it is to collect horses, that is, to go to the battlefield, up to eighty years old, down to seven or eight years old men, as long as they can get on the horse, can use the knife, they will follow the ** to fight with the enemy of Shanxi.

Now the Lord Assassin wants each family to take out their own horses for the use of officers and soldiers, and also offers very generous conditions, all families who are willing to take out their own horses for the use of the officers and soldiers, the tax will be reduced by 20% next year, if the horses are killed or lost because of the battle, the Assassin's Mansion will compensate in full and reduce the tax by 20%.

What a condition! The national tax on imperial grain has existed since ancient times. Now in order to fight against the enemy of Shanxi, the Assassin of Hengzhou is willing to reduce taxes for the people, and once the horse is killed or lost, the Assassin Mansion is also willing to give compensation.

Encouraged by these conditions, the Assassin's Mansion issued a proclamation in the morning, and in the afternoon it collected more than 4,000 horses. In addition to a small number of old horses that could not be moved, there were more than 3,000 that could be used.

The horses were ready, and the soldiers had already sharpened their swords.

"General, everything is ready, please give the general the order to go." After everything was ready, Zhang Wei came to Shi Xiong and said to him.

Shi Xiong stepped on his war horse and said loudly to the ** soldiers behind him: "Soldiers, all along, the mountain thieves have indulged in the army to slaughter the people of my Tang Dynasty, rob my property, destroy crops, and rob women and children. Now that we have discovered the enemy's lair, I will lead you to rush into Yin Mountain and kill the enemy. ”

With that, Shi Xiong drew his sword and swung it forward, shouting, "Let's go---"

Under the leadership of Shi Xiong, Zhang Wei and others followed behind him on horseback, all the way to Yinshan in the northwest direction.

At this time, it was almost dusk, and the sunset sprinkled the afterglow on the head of Hengzhou City, smearing the original yellow city wall like gilding.

Hengzhou Thorn Shi, who was over fifty years old, stood at the head of the city and watched Shi Xiong and others disappear into the distant sky.

With enthusiasm and passion for killing the enemy, the ** team led by Shi Xiong and Zhang Wei quickly walked out of dozens of miles, and now everyone's high mood has slowly stabilized.

"Commander, didn't you say that you would disguise yourself as a Turkic merchant to spy on the military? Or I'll have someone do your makeup right now. "The march is actually a very depressing thing, and joking may be able to adjust the dull atmosphere for a while.

Shi Xiong squinted at Zhang Wei, "General Zhang, you remember it clearly for me, I am the chief general, you are the deputy general, don't mess with the rules no matter what time it is." Besides, as the main commander of this expedition, of course I have to be with my own army. Shi Xiong knew that Zhang Wei was making fun of himself, and deliberately said to him with a straight face.

"Okay, well, the last general must remember the general's teachings and stop putting on makeup for you." Zhang Wei also said with a deliberate smile at him.

"Hahaha, hahaha---" Shi Xiong laughed and said to Zhang Wei: "Brother Zhang Wei, I still can't understand what kind of person you are?" How can there be so many ghost ideas at a critical moment? And no matter what happens, he is not in a hurry, and he can handle everything properly. I really admire my brother. ”

For Shi Xiong's praise, Zhang Wei can understand and empathize with him.

The reason why he can have today's experience in dealing with things is also the result of his accumulation of experience for more than 20 years. Especially when your opinion is contrary to that of your superiors or leaders, you must not confront him, but take more clever means to make him change according to your wishes.

Failure is the mother of success, and the mother's experience is the truth of life, and we must always keep in mind and resolutely implement it.

As he spoke, the sky unconsciously darkened, and there was a deathly silence all around. In addition to the wolf howling in the distance, the hare in the near distance was awakened by the sudden arrival of the army, and fled in panic to the distance.

"Brother! It's not that I'm praising you for my brother, since you came to Youzhou, everything here has begun to change. "For Zhang Wei's contribution to Youzhou for a period of time, Shi Xiong saw it in his eyes, remembered it in his heart, and implemented it in his mouth, and praised Zhang Wei from time to time.

"General Shi praised it falsely, I am just an ordinary person, I was actually very playful when I was young, I loved to sing, dance and drink. However, since the last time I came into contact with you, especially when I watched a few of you soldiers still maintain the demeanor of soldiers in such a lively scene, my understanding has changed at that time. When I go back to my residence, I often think that people always have to do something in this life, and I can't wait until I'm old, and I think back on the road I've traveled in this life, and finally I find that there is nothing, and if that's the case, wouldn't I regret it. ”

When he said this, Zhang Wei was still quite sincere. Unconsciously said the famous words of Paul Kochagin, and when he looks back, he will not regret that he wasted his time, nor will he be ashamed of his inaction.

After listening to Zhang Wei's words, Shi Xiong also sighed with some emotion, "Brother, what you said is so right, I, Shi Xiong, don't have much culture, and I don't know poetry, but I like to fight!" Don't look at my poetry, but as long as war comes, my wisdom is no worse than those who dance and write all day long. ”

After saying this, Shi Xiong himself couldn't help laughing, "Brother, don't see outside, I'm just talking, in fact, I'm still far behind you." Just like you are better than me when you lead the troops to the battle, two people and one horse, you can come up with ideas such as fat and thin, old and weak, high and low. If it's me, you may think of collocation, but it's definitely not as delicate as you. What are you like to me? ”

In the end, the level of knowledge is limited, Shi Xiong wanted to praise Zhang Wei, but he couldn't think of a better word for a while.

"Does the general want to say that I am the roundworm in your stomach? Think of everything you want. Seeing Shi Xiong's anxious appearance, Zhang Wei hurriedly said to the rescue.

"Yes, yes, that's what it means." Shi Xiong said happily, and then thought about what he just said, "General Zhang, you just said that you are like what is in my stomach, why don't I know?" ”

Roundworm?

Roundworm is a word that appears very frequently in the mouth of modern people Zhang Wei, I remember when I was still in school, no matter who could say a word about my heart, he would immediately say, "Buy Ga, you are really a roundworm in my stomach!" How do you know my mind so clearly? ”

When he came to Datang, this was the first time he used it, and he immediately encountered a language barrier.

People in the Tang Dynasty don't know about roundworms!

Even if you know a little bit about it, you just know it, and you may not be able to say it clearly; For a martial artist like Ishio, it's even more unknown.

In order to avoid cultural differences from triggering conflicts again, Zhang Wei said: "I mean I am your mind, and I know what you want to say." ”

Mind, roundworm?

This level of understanding can only be like this.

Zhang Wei thought to himself that he would have to pay attention to talking to these Shi Xiong in the future, otherwise he didn't understand what he said, wouldn't it be in vain.

"Well--, General Zhang is right! You are not only my Shi Xiong's mind, but also the mind of my Tang Youzhou army! Shi Xiong said with emotion.

"General, someone is coming in front." Just as Shi Xiong and Zhang Wei were chatting, the scout suddenly said.

Yes?

The two couldn't help but get nervous. Following the direction pointed by the scout, Zhang Wei saw two black dots getting bigger and bigger, like ghosts in the dark night rushing towards this side.
