The distance between Juluze and Longgang City, the seat of Xiangguo County, is only more than sixty miles, and the army comes out at the right time, and just arrives at dawn. The officials in the city have long been subdued by Zhang Jiajun, where do they dare to resist more? Before the feather arrow could reach the city, a cadre of civil and military officers had already opened the city gate and knelt at the door to welcome King Zhang to come and inspect.

The soldiers took the county without blood, and Zhang Jin said that he was in a good mood. While sending cronies into the city to maintain law and order, so as not to allow anyone to take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble and "smear" Zhang Jiajun's face, he ordered someone to call the officials of Xiangguo County to him, and said with a pleasant face: "Lao Tzu is a man of credibility, unlike the bullshit court, after the front foot is shit, the back foot will sit back while it is hot!" Although you can rest assured, since you have not shortened Lao Tzu's security fee, Lao Tzu naturally wants to protect the safety of Lao Tzu and others. This time it was just a passing pass, and when the army was finished, you would wait for the drums to be beaten, the gongs to be beaten, and the news to the imperial court. It is better to say that Lao Tzu is defeated and flees, or it is better to recapture the county town in a bloody battle, just blow! Anyway, as long as you don't really do anything with Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu won't be difficult for you! ”

"Don't dare, don't dare. Great, the big boss has the grace of not killing us, and we are grateful. How can you brag about it any longer, and if you are bad, you will ruin the prestige of the great master? "When the unlucky officials heard that they could save their lives, they had already secretly recited the Buddha for I don't know how many times. At this moment, when I heard that Zhang Jincheng actually let them continue to be local officials, and they had to falsely report their military exploits to the imperial court, I was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on my forehead, and I waved my hand vigorously to thank them.

"Let you blow your fucking blows, take Lao Tzu's words as a fart?" Zhang Jincheng raised his eyebrows and scolded when he opened his mouth. "If someone else is the county guard, Lao Tzu still has to fight with him to subdue him, so it's better for a few of you to use it easily! If you want to live, don't be polite to Lao Tzu. Otherwise, don't blame Lao Tzu for being unreasonable! ”

When have you ever been reasonable? The officials cursed secretly in their hearts, but they only made promises in their mouths. lest he say half a wrong word, provoke Zhang Dawang, and dig out everyone's hearts and livers to make snacks. Fortunately, Zhang Jiajun was busy on his way, and only stayed in the city for an hour before hurrying away. Before leaving, he looted all the copper coins and rice grains that were prepared to be handed over to the imperial court in the city office and the government treasury.

The loss of all that money can be scraped out of the heads of large households and ordinary people, and it is not enough to make local officials scratch their heads. But how to report to the imperial court made everyone completely embarrassed. Write it according to what Zhang Jin said, it will inevitably blow too much, and if the lie is pierced, everyone's lives will not be guaranteed. It can be said that it surrendered without a fight, and according to the laws of the Great Sui, it seems to be a capital crime. didn't die in the hands of Zhang Jincheng but was chopped off by the imperial court, and it really takes some courage to be such a fool. After much discussion, a scribe finally came up with a good idea. It is recommended that the county keeper respond to all changes with the same attitude, and act as if everyone had a collective daydream, in fact, nothing happened. Anyway, if there is chaos today, and the city is not lost, it will not attract too much attention from the imperial court. As long as everyone doesn't take the initiative to report, whether it's Jingshi or Dongdu, who will send someone to check whether Zhang Jin said he had entered Longgang City? Unless the big guys in the DPRK and China are idle!

When the officials heard this, they applauded. Immediately send officials to post notices to appease the people, and it is strictly forbidden to spread gossip, let alone talk in the middle of the day, otherwise they will be punished as thieves. After frightening the people, he hurriedly wrote a few letters and sent them to the surrounding counties. In the name of his colleagues, he reminded the county officials that Zhang Jin said that he had just "bypassed" Longgang, so please be cautious.

Strange to say, Zhang Jin said that although he forbade his minions to listen to the whereabouts of this trip internally, he was not wary of it externally. A group of messengers from Xiangguo County ran almost right under his nose, and he neither stopped nor sent anyone after him. Let the news of Zhang Jiajun's departure spread like a wind.

The army marched southward, crossing the Shahe River and climbing the Panshan Mountain. Along the way, all the cities and fortresses that have paid the security fee on time will knock and leave. For those stockades and fortresses that refused to pay "security" fees, they fought bloody battles and completely burned them to the ground. In this way, he walked for half a month, stirring up the entire counties in southern Hebei three times a day, and they did not dare to open the city gate to let the people in and out during the day. While the soldiers of the counties were waiting for the rest of the day, Zhang Jiajun suddenly lost interest in continuing to plunder, and at the junction of Wu'an County and Wei County, he picked up an abandoned fortress called Fushan and stationed it.

Fushan is located in the branch of Taihang, peeking into Wu'an, overlooking Wei County, the terrain is very dangerous. In case the family army is happy one day, if you are not careful, you can go against the turbid water through Taihang and directly enter Shangdang County in Hedong. At this moment, not only were the local officials in the southern part of Hebei Province panicked, but the local officials in the southern part of Hedong County could not sit still. The urgent document was written into the Eastern Capital like snowflakes, asking the imperial court to increase the number of bandit suppression troops and return the place to peace as soon as possible.

"The dog officer in the court, will he really be as faint as we expected?" Not only were the local officials of the Great Sui nervous, but the owners of the village under Zhang Jin's command were also muttering in their hearts. This time they took the initiative to attack, but everyone almost brought all the soldiers who could fight in Julu Zezhong. However, the combat goal was very evil, and he actually tried to force Feng Xiaoci, the general of the Right Wuhou, out from behind the high wall of Liyang, to the area of Fushan where the terrain was not conducive to the deployment of cavalry for a decisive battle!

"Whatever, if the court refuses to help, we will be able to train the troops this time, anyway, there are two soldiers on the side of Zedi, the second child and Juanzi, who are watching, and no one can attack it for a while!" Zhang Jin said that he was optimistic by nature and didn't take everyone's worries seriously at all. "If he is willing to help, let's give Feng Xiaoci some color outside this Taihang Mountain. It also opened the eyes of the old and young masters from all over Hebei, knowing what kind of talent is a real hero and what kind of person is a fake trick. ”

The second half of the sentence made everyone laugh. The last time Gao Shida's henchman Dou Jiande met Feng Xiaoci and left without a fight, but then the brothers of Julu Ze fought with their lives to drive Feng Xiaoci back to Liyang from the door of their homes. If everyone really pressed the treasure right this time and successfully cut off Feng Xiaoci's head, there would be no more tall masters on the green forest road where strength is respected from now on. The heroes and heroes of all the valleys and villages have rushed over, and the power of Juluze will surely soar into the sky.

"It's a donkey or a horse, you can see it clearly when you pull it out and walk it. You can't rely on a few calls from a black light! Hearing the heartfelt laughter of the brothers, Zhang Jin said that he was more and more ambitious. glanced at Lu Fangyuan, the eighth master, and continued to add, "Since everyone rebelled with their heads, naturally they are also who has the ability to follow whom." Regardless of whether the dog emperor can be pulled off the horse, the road must be made wider and wider, and the more he raises it, the more he shrinks. ”

"It's a blessing for my subordinates to be able to follow the big boss!" Lu Fangyuan is also a smart person, and when he felt the pressure in Zhang Jincheng's eyes, he quickly stood up and made a statement. He is Gao Shida's nail in the identity of the chief scoop leader of Julu Ze, but in the past year, because of the fundamental changes in the comparison between the strength of Gao Shida and Zhang Jincheng, he had to give up the original intention of entering Julu Ze. At present, it is said that the connection between Juluze and Douzigang has been severed by the official army, even if Gao Shida has an order to send it, Lu Fangyuan will take the initiative to confess the order to Zhang Jincheng. Otherwise, Zhang Jin said that as long as he moved his fingers slightly, someone would naturally step forward and dismantle those blind guys.

"You don't have to follow me. In the future, if there is anyone who is better than the old man, go with him! Zhang Jincheng smiled and waved his hand, signaling Lu Fangyuan not to misunderstand, "Come out and mix, who doesn't want a good future?" Keep up with the capable one, the boss becomes the manager, and everyone is a general. When the boss becomes the emperor, everyone is the king. At that time, you can plant as many acres of land as you want, and marry as many wives as you want. If you don't have a backache, you can marry three hundred and sixty. When the time comes, there will be a **** round, and the turn will be over just for the New Year! ”

"Hahahaha!" The village owners and hall masters were amused by the words of the big boss, and the snot bubbles bubbled out. That is, when you come out to mix, don't you just want that little benefit? If you live like a poor monk all day long, who will put your head on the belt of your trousers? What hangs the people and kills the people, what does the way for heaven, that's all bullshit. Lao Tzu himself is the sky, take care of himself and have everything.

Suddenly, Zhang Jincheng turned his tone again, and emphasized with a straight face, "But then again." It's your own business how many women you marry, as long as you have that physical strength. But it also has to be willing by other girls! We can grab it now, but we can't grab it casually in the future. Being a thief can't be the same as being an official, if all the officials treat themselves as thieves, wouldn't this day be messed up?! ”

What do you mean by that? The main hall masters of the village, except for a few scheming ones, all frowned. Originally, it was just a few jokes, but how did you talk about it and emphasize military discipline again? This time, because the big boss emphasized military discipline too much, it has caused a lot of dissatisfaction among the minions. If we continue to be strict, I am afraid that many brothers, especially those who have been in the battlefield for a long time, will deviate from morality.

Zhang Jin said that he guessed the unhappiness in everyone's hearts, smiled, and explained with a pleasant face, "In the past, we rebelled because we were forced by the government to have no way to live. If we become officials in the future, we can't force the people below to rebel against us, right? In the past, we didn't know where to go, and we always thought about living one day at a time, so we didn't have to worry about what the people thought of us. But seeing that the Great Sui Dynasty is coming to an end, we all have to look at the long term. Think about how to be an official, and think about how to compete with other heroes for this world! So this time, when I went out of Ze, I was a little stricter with my brothers, and everyone thought I was a different person. However, my Lao Zhang still left room for everyone, and didn't really take any of them! This time, even if we adapt, we will not blame the past. Lao Tzu first reminded everyone and went back to discipline their brothers well. Next time, if anyone deliberately violates military discipline, if they are cut by Lao Tzu, don't come over to plead! ”

When the words fell, all the heroes were in their hearts. Since marrying Liu Er last year, Zhang Jincheng's temper has changed a lot. But just because his temper has improved doesn't mean he's a sick cat from now on! Sooner or later, the man who brushed his beard would die, and his words were still the same among the brethren.

"Feng Xiaoci has already been beaten down by us once." Zhang Jincheng's gaze swept over everyone's faces, leaving an irresistible majesty, "If he comes out this time, Lao Tzu will lay a net and wait for him." If he refuses to come out, he will admit it, and he will have to hide when he sees Lao Tzu's banner in the future. In short, it is that sentence, the entire Hebei green forest in the future will depend on us. If the mud can't support the wall, get out of the way as soon as possible, don't hold me back! ”

Make a name for yourself, establish thousands of troops, recruit troops, and then win the championship. For several months, Julu Ze has been busy with this matter. Therefore, Zhang Jin said that after announcing that after beating Feng Xiaoci, he would establish his own banner, and none of the brothers was surprised. And once the flag is erected, they are no longer bandits. Therefore, it is also necessary to strictly enforce military discipline and gradually consolidate the prestige of the contingent in the locality. Thinking of this, several core figures looked at each other, and Du Scar was the first to speak, "What the big boss said is not to ask the brothers to be more restrained, what is so difficult to do!" Who is not a bitter background, to bully, and to bully those rich people, what is the meaning of bullying the common people? ”

The second master, Xue Song, stayed behind in Juluze, so after the third master, Du Scar, opened his mouth, it was equivalent to giving a start to all the brothers. Wang Mazi, the fourth master, thought about it and hurriedly followed: "That's it." The savings of ordinary people's families, how can there be more than the owners of the village and the castle! From now on, let's grab it, and try to grab big ones. As for the woman, of course, she is also a young lady who wears gold and silver, and she looks smoother than a girl who chops wood and carries water. Although I don't often get my hands on it, it's like eating a bite of a peach rather than a basket of rotten apricots! ”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room immediately became lively again. Everyone expressed their stance one after another, announcing that the brothers under their command would strictly abide by military discipline from now on and would not cause trouble to the big boss. After everyone expressed their attitudes one by one, Zhang Jincheng thought about it and said: "This time, I have obviously taken Longgang, I did not drive away those court officials, but handed Longgang into their hands again, this is the reason." Longgang is under the control of the imperial court, we robbed and smashed it, and the people can only blame the court for not being able to protect them, and we can't blame it. If Longgang is under our official control, the people will not have enough food and clothing, and we will be the ones who will be embarrassed. This is a craft to be a thief, and it is also a craft to be an official. You can't just chop and kill indiscriminately. If you talk about being an official, on our side, Xue Lao Er is a good hand, Xiao Jiuzi is also a good hand, and others, including me, the big boss, I'm afraid they are not very bright. ”

"The big boss has been promoted, I can have today, and it's not all because of the support of the big boss!" Suddenly, hearing Zhang Jincheng turn the topic to himself, Cheng Mingzhen hurriedly got up and saluted. He knows that his rapid rise has caused a lot of contradictions, so he usually acts in a low-key manner, and tries not to show the mountain dew as much as possible.

"You are our giant deer Ze's thousand-mile horse, no matter how much you lift, you can't lift it too much!" Zhang Jin said that he looked at Cheng Mingzhen and was very satisfied with the performance of his generals. Since Cheng Mingzhen entered Ze, he has done everything smoothly. It's like a tiger with wings, like a dragon riding the wind. This feeling made him a little carried away for a while, and he didn't care about other people's feelings at all, "Let it go, Lao Tzu is optimistic about you." After beating Feng Xiaoci, Lao Tzu set up a name, and first named you a general! ”
