There are 5,000 people in the Holy Second Army, which is the establishment of the two armies, but because the establishment of the Xiang Army is not standardized, and few people are willing to come to the Xiang Army to serve, although the Holy Second Army nominally has two army commanders, in fact, there is only one army commander surnamed Zhou who is in charge.

Han Qi came to the Holy Second Army to deal with official business, so he naturally wanted to meet the Zhou commander, but he didn't see anyone when he came here, so he could only send the official to inquire around and look for him, but after waiting for a while, he saw two ragged pro-soldiers carrying an old man full of alcohol, but when they approached, Li Zhang found that the "old man" who was being held was not too old, and there were basically no wrinkles on his face, but because his beard was gray, he looked like an old man at first glance.

"Who...... Who is looking for Lao Tzu? I saw that after the gray-haired Commander Zhou was brought over, he burped and opened his drunken eyes and looked around, but looking at his unsteady appearance, it is estimated that the whole world is upside down in his eyes.

"He's Commander Zhou?" Li Zhang couldn't help frowning when he looked at this drunken guy and said, he had come into contact with many generals in the army, such as Cao Wei's father and son, Huyan family, etc., and martial arts was the cradle of future generals, but now the Zhou commander in front of him was really beyond his expectations.

Han Qi seemed to know each other, but he also nodded to Li Zhang with a wry smile at this time, and then stepped forward and said to Commander Zhou: "Commander Zhou still knows Han, your Saint Second Army is about to move to the northwest, so some cases with your Saint Second Army need to be settled, and the land you occupy also needs to be handed over." ”

"What case, our Xiangjun is subordinate to the Privy Council, what case do you go to the Privy Council, as for the land, which was originally given to us by the Queen Mother, why should it be handed over to you?" I saw that this Zhou commander heard Han Qi's words, but he immediately blew up, and when he shouted, his mouth full of wine almost sprayed on Han Qi's face.

However, Han Qi was very calm at this time, and still said with an unchanged face: "The Xiang army has always been managed by the local government, and a few people in your army have committed crimes, so naturally it should be managed by our Kaifeng Mansion, and this land is not given to you by the Queen Mother, but temporarily for you to live in, and now that you want to leave, this land will naturally be taken back by the imperial court!" ”

"I don't care what bullshit you Kaifeng Mansion is, the land belongs to Lao Tzu, and the people are also Lao Tzu, if you want to find the top, if you don't have a military order from the top, don't bother Lao Tzu to drink!" This week's commander didn't know if he was crazy or on purpose, but he was unwilling to cooperate anyway.

As the saying goes, "Xiucai meets soldiers, and it is unreasonable to say", Han Qi, a talented man from a jinshi, was a little helpless when he met the veteran ruffian of Commander Zhou, speaking of which, the Great Song Dynasty emphasized literature and light martial arts, if the other party was the military commander of the forbidden army, I am afraid that he would not dare to shout in front of Han Qi, a promising official, after all, the status of military generals in this era is far lower than that of civilian officials.

But this Zhou commander is a box army, and he, the commander of the army, is probably a thankless role, and there is no hope of promotion, so people don't care about you at all, as the so-called "willing to scrape, dare to pull the emperor off the horse", not to mention Han Qi, such a small pusher.

"Commander Zhou, Brother Han is also acting on orders, and you will also be transferred to the northwest, if these chores are not handed over, I am afraid you will not be able to explain to your superiors in the future." At this time, Li Zhang finally couldn't stand it anymore and interjected.

"Who are you?" Commander Zhou looked at Li Zhang a few times with a pair of eyes full of at this time, he was still drunk just now, but when he quarreled with Han Qi, he was full of anger, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was pretending to be drunk just now.

"My name is Li Zhang, I am currently the superintendent of the martial arts school, and I used to serve in the army." Li Zhang replied lightly.

"Li Zhang?" Commander Zhou was obviously stunned when he heard Li Zhang's name, and then said in a tentative tone, "But Li Duwei, who defeated the party with General Cao at the beginning?" ”

"Yes, do you know General Cao?" Li Zhang also saw the other party's surprise at this time, and asked again at the moment.

"Hehe, I'm just a broken household, where can I know General Cao, but when I was young, I served under General Cao for a while, and then I had to quit the army because of my injury and lived in the army." Commander Zhou waved his right hand as he spoke, and Li Zhang found that four of the five fingers on his right hand were missing, and only the little finger was still there.

Knowing that the other party was a veteran who had retired from the battlefield, and that he could do the position of the commander of the army, even if it was a Xiang army, I am afraid that he had made a lot of contributions in the army before, which made Li Zhang's attitude softened a little, and he arched his hand at the moment and said: "Fortunately, it turns out that Commander Zhou has also served under General Cao!" ”

"Lieutenant Li is polite, is General Cao still in good health, I heard that this time General Cao led his troops into Xingzhou City and killed the party members, and it was really a tiger father without a dog!" Commander Zhou also became much more enthusiastic at this time, and there was no longer the previous scoundrel and arrogance.

"General Cao is old, he was injured too much when he was young, and his health has not been very good in recent years, Cao Yu has lived up to the expectations of the old general, and has performed well on the battlefield. Li Zhang also replied with a smile at this time.

Maybe it's for Cao Wei's sake, the next thing is much simpler, and he tried his best to cooperate with Han Qi's matter, and then he talked to Li Zhang about a lot of things in the army, looking at his excited appearance, it is estimated that he has not found anyone to talk to him about these things for a long time.

"Commander Zhou, you are sent to the northwest this time, maybe you will meet Cao Mata, and when you mention my name, he will definitely take care of you." Li Zhang also said to Commander Zhou when he said goodbye at the end, the other party gave him a favor, of course he had to return one, Commander Zhou made these to be sent to Xingzhou Tuntian, but the distribution of Tuntian is also exquisite, and Cao Mata's care can also give them a good position.

For Li Zhang's words, Commander Zhou was also very grateful, and then personally sent Li Zhang and Han Qi who had finished his errands away, and on the way back, Han Qi couldn't help laughing and said: "It's still Li Zhang, you have a big face, and even people like Commander Zhou have heard of your fame." ”

"Now Commander Zhou has made these Xiang troops only know that they are transferred to the northwest, but they don't know that they are actually going to Xingzhou Tuntian, Tuntian is not an easy job, I hope they won't scold me in the future." Li Zhang smiled helplessly at this time,
