(In order to speed up the progress, the content of 10,000 was compressed into 3,000 and a half, which is hard.) ）

In the mountains, looking at Xiang Yong who was passing by in front of him, and there was no frustration on his face, Zhang Yuan's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he nodded in agreement, and his whole body seemed to be full of strength, even the grass and trees that had been looking gray had infinite vitality.

At this time, a sentence from a villager who walked by him made Zhang Yuanru splash a basin of cold water on his head in the harsh winter, and he was cold from head to toe at that time, and his complexion couldn't help but change greatly.

Na Xiangyong muttered in a low voice: "But I don't know what kind of joy you have, this time you lost a deputy chief soldier, and returned to Yan'an Mansion, I can't say that the governor will take us out of anger, and what kind of military merit reward are you looking forward to, it is fortunate not to fall to the ground."

This time to suppress the bandits, the governor of Yan'an pulled out the last cavalry he could master, but he didn't want Li Yuanhao's pickled goods to be greedy and reckless, and the whole army was wiped out.

Thinking of this, cold sweat flowed down at that time.

At this time, the praise painting rushed over in embarrassment, and the praise painting didn't care about decency, and sat down next to Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan hurriedly found the water hyacinth in his left and right hands, handed it over respectfully, and said in a loud voice: "My lord, please." ”

Nazanhua took a sip of water, let out a long breath, looked at Zhang Yuan's respectful appearance and said with satisfaction: "When I came, the Qian Zhongjun took special care and said that you, Zhang Yuan, Lord Zhang, are polite and virtuous, treat people with humility, and it is a great thing, but at this time, it is true, but seeing that Lord Zhang is full of worries, can you talk to my brother?" I may be able to figure it out. “

That Zhang Yuan hurriedly stepped forward and saluted deeply: "Zhang Yuan doesn't know what to do about it, and he needs to be taught by Mr. ”

"I don't dare to advise, but I can take an idea and refer to it in detail." Tidying up the official uniform that had been scratched by thorns, he asked calmly, "I don't know why Lord Zhang is worried?" “

At that time, Zhang Yuan stepped forward and told him the doubts and dishes in his heart just now, and when he heard it, not only did he not have melancholy in his face, but he laughed out loud.

This smile made Zhang Yuan puzzled, "I don't know why Mr. is laughing when things come to an end?" Is there any way to explain it? ”

"I don't dare to teach, but to tell the truth, you and I are both parties to this incident, and we are really both prosperous and lossy, so now brother, I don't want to hide it from you, I dare to guarantee that this time Lord Zhang returns to Yan'an, not only will he not be taken prisoner by the governor Du Sisuo, but will beat gongs and drums to welcome you back triumphantly."

Zhang Yuan Daqi, he clearly knew that he was a loser, why was the governor not to blame, and he still had to beat gongs and drums to celebrate the victory? Where does this begin?

Seeing Zhang Yuan's strange face, Nazan laughed at the moment, "Lord Zhang, in fact, it's not unusual to say this, it's just that Lord Zhang has just experienced officialdom, and he has some Taoism, but he is not an algorithm like a businessman." ”

Glancing at Zhang Yuan, who was ashamed of the red cloth, Zanhua continued: "In fact, the biggest point in this officialdom is a mantra, whitewash the peace, and make a mistake. ”

Nazan didn't look at them, sorted out the official robe and said: "In fact, this officialdom is a dirty place, this official robe is easy to wear, but it is difficult to wear for a long time, if you want to keep this official robe, and change the color from time to time, the key during the period is the eight words on it." Now the emperor is the arrogant lord, it is the time when he is high-spirited, and he is even more coaxed by those clear streams and Donglin, and at this time, Qingliu is the beginning of his reign is the Haiyan River, which is even more good news and not bad news. Therefore, if you are defeated this time, the governor will not report the defeat at all, not only will he not report the defeat, but he will definitely set up a typical example of you who worries about the country, add color to yourself, and add joy to the emperor. ”

"But, the death of the deputy general—"

Nazanhua continued: "In this war, your Lord Zhang has already performed remarkably, and you have also played these elite soldiers who have seen blood, and if the governor wants to block the mouth of the imperial historian, if you want to continue to encircle and suppress the thieves without spending a tael of silver, you can't do it, so that we have the basis to save our lives, and the death of the deputy chief soldier, in fact, this is the finishing touch, it can be seen that the thieves are indeed powerful, and the officers and soldiers of the brigade are difficult to separate, and the officers and soldiers of the squad are of no help at all, so they have to recruit the village brave." It also seems that the governor is sympathetic to the saint's financial urgency, so he has a wise decision to kill decisively. ”

Zhang Yuan suddenly felt that a heart was put in his stomach.

"However, this is only the first step to save your life, and you can't take the opportunity to be promoted."

As soon as he talked about promotion, Zhang Yuan was interested at that time, and his life was saved, and of course greed also rose: "But I don't know what way Mr. can let me wait for me to be promoted?" ”

Nazanhua laughed and said, "There is no other way, there is only one." ”

"What?" Brother Zhang Yuan stepped forward together and asked carefully.

"Kill the good and take the risk." When he spoke, there was only coldness in his eyes, infinite coldness.

Before dawn, in this hundreds of miles of mountains, a small mountain village with more than a dozen families fell asleep quietly, and the steaming winter mist filled the air, like a paradise.

A group of people slowly approached this small village, and a nightmare was slowly approaching those honest people in this morning light.

A hunter got up early, got up early with a bow and arrows, and dug a trap yesterday in the hope that there would be a catch now, so that he could stew a bowl of broth for his pregnant wife to replenish his body, this is his second upcoming child, the original was a girl, but this time the wives and aunts showed it, saying that it was a boy who was guaranteed to be accurate, so that their family had an incense continuation, thinking about the big fat boy who was about to give birth, and his heart was happy.

But as soon as the courtyard door opened, the man was startled, and outside the courtyard gate, I don't know when there were dozens of fierce and vicious military men, who were looking at themselves who suddenly appeared with beast-like eyes.

In a moment of astonishment, the soldier swung his knife and cut off his head, the man had long been on guard, when the tiger roared, vigorously waved the hunting fork to block, and shouted loudly: "Old and young masters, get up, the soldiers and bandits are slaughtering the village-"

With this tiger roar, the tranquility of the entire mountain village was immediately broken, kicking the door, shouting to kill, crying and pleading, and screaming to the sky.

The man took a hunting fork and fought with several officers and soldiers in front of the door, desperately not letting the officers and soldiers enter, but there were many people in the township, and a few had begun to entangle him, and the rest of the townsmen saw the opportunity and shouted into the courtyard, followed by the exclamations and howls of his mother-in-law and daughter, followed by bursts of happy laughter, and in the laughter, it was the heart-rending howl of the eleven-year-old daughter. But in a blink of an eye, there was no sound, and I saw a few townsmen holding their pants and holding their own things in their hands, giggling out, and then a townsman took a torch and lit his own grass house, and immediately the flames rose to the sky.

The man howled miserably, blood beads appeared in the corners of his eyes, he was distracted, a big knife cut off his head, and a pair of angry eyes looked at himself unwillingly, and the last thought was: "Official? Bandits? ”

The destruction of a village is an unprecedented victory for the army, and the merit is to be celebrated, but there is one more urgent thing to do, that is, to repay the governor and the capital.

Zhang Yuan stood up respectfully and said to Nazan: "This seizure is also rich, there are countless knives and guns, and the rest will have to be worked hard by." ”

Nazan laughed when he heard this, "It's just to write a report paper?" A trivial matter, ask someone to get a pen and paper, to ensure that this report document will satisfy the peak, and the adult will be promoted. ”

Zhang Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and ordered someone to take a pen and paper, and he didn't shirk this praise painting, and he wanted to have a pot of good wine.

The good news is written that the flowers are full of flowers, and the original defeat is wiped out, not only is there no fault, but also the thousands of people who have been saved and slashed and killed by Gan, and countless knives, guns and instruments have been obtained.

And so on, report to the company.

This flowery good news, Zhang Yuan handed over the safe little twelve to Yan'an to recuperate from the wounded, and at the same time took his own hand to the business counter to withdraw a number of money, first take the road of the money in the army, up and down first.

The witty little seventeen was not lazy, he directly withdrew 10,000 taels of silver from the counter, and went straight to the Qianzhong Military Mansion to ask for a meeting.

The meeting with Xiao Seventeen was in the study rather than in the hall, and he did not wear official clothes, which showed the closeness between the two families. Before leaving, he said to the old wife beside him: "The future is rich and prosperous." ”

After greeting for a while, after listening to Xiao Seventeen's report, Qian Zhongjun groaned slightly, and directly ordered: "You go back immediately, and prepare another two thousand taels of silver for preparation." It was said very naturally, as if it were calling for one's own money.

The seventeenth didn't drag the mud and water, and stood up and said, "Yes." ”

"Give me five hundred taels of gold, so that I can go to the governor's yamen to deliver the good news."

"Yes."

"Besides, go to the street to find a few pieces of valuable jewelry, so that you can go to the governor of Yan'an to walk around."

"Yes."

Qian Zhongjun walked around the ground a few times, and then said to Xiao Seventeen, who was waiting with his head bowed: "That's all, you go and prepare, I'll wait here." ”

"The student will retire and hand it over to Mr. in an hour." Then he saluted and went calmly

Qian Tong nodded, and liked Xiao Seventeen's calmness even more. Having such a brother in the family is really a blessing for Zhang Yuan.

Sure enough, an hour had passed, and the subordinate led Xiao Seventeen to the study again, took out a bag of gold from the baggage around him, and put a beautiful jewelry box in front of Qian Tong, and then said to Qian Tong: "What else does Mr. need?" ”

"Okay, the following is my method, you can wait when you go home, and at the same time send a letter to your brother Zhang Yuan, so that he can return to the city in three days."

"Thank you, sir." Then I went back to my errands.

Qian Tong put the silver codex in the secret room, first took the bag of gold and jewelry, and hurried to the governor's yamen.

When he arrived at the governor's yamen, he didn't need to be reported, so he hurried directly to the second hall to ask to see Yang He, and after a while, he hurried to the Yan'an governor's office in a comfortable mood.

The governor of Yan'an is also accustomed to going in and out, after a period of notification, he entered the recuperating Yue Hesheng clean house, and after entering the moment, all the maids and women were driven out of the house, and then they heard the sound of tea bowls falling to the ground, Yue Hesheng's breathless voice suddenly remembered

"Zhang Yuan's pickled things, you are old and frail, are you blind and deaf? The army of 5,000 people, one was wiped out, and the other was blocked by people who could not go out of the city for half a step, so that the five hundred people had to flee into the mountains, and escaped back by means of soil, do you still have the face to say that it is a great victory? Do you still want to be ashamed? Then came a violent cough, as if to cough out all the lobes of the lungs.

But in the blink of an eye, Qian Tong's low voice of analysis came out, and after a while, he heard Yue He's voice say weakly, "It seems that it is really a great victory." ”
