The evening breeze blew through Yangzhou City, and Zhang Xianzheng's clothes were stained with blood, mixed with the blood red of the sunset. Zhang Xian looked at the messy battlefield, his heart was full of melancholy, if these bandits were fighting with the Tartars, how good it would be, but now they are consumed in their own hands.

Different from Zhang Xian's loneliness after the victory, the county commander ran down ecstatically, he knew that Zhang Xian's real soldiers were more than 3,000 points, 3,000 were better than 30,000, and it was not too much to write a special book for the county order to prepare for the report. Seeing the vicissitudes of Zhang Xian's face after the war, the county commander rarely brought a pot of tea in person, poured two cups, handed Zhang Xian a cup, picked up one himself, and said:

"Today, Lord Zhang is outnumbered, and less is more, and Zhuge Zhang Liang and others in the past are just like this, this official must show the merits of Lord Zhang to the court, and come to this official to replace wine with tea, and wish Lord Zhang a triumph!"

Zhang Xian stared at the county order, and the county order unconsciously took two steps back. In fact, where would Zhang Xian not understand the little Jiujiu in the heart of the county commander, such a big credit, more or less share a little profit to the county commander, his official position will definitely be promoted a few levels, for Zhang Xian, these don't matter. It's just that sometimes the sycophants are over-slapped, which also makes Zhang Xian very unhappy in his heart.

Wang Fu, Zhao Feifei and Niu Dameng saw Zhang Xian and walked over with gloomy faces.

"My lord, in this battle, we have lost too much, three thousand brothers of the family, more than 400 people were killed in the battle, more than 500 people were seriously injured, and more than 400 people were lightly injured, even if all the minor injuries were not hindered, we lost almost 1,000 brothers."

After Niu Dameng finished speaking to Zhang Xian, the county order had just been stared at by Zhang Xian, and he panicked inexplicably, and hurriedly drank a sip of hot tea to suppress the shock, but when he heard that Niu Dameng had killed more than 30,000 people with only a loss of 1,000 people, he was still screaming that the loss was huge, and suddenly a mouthful of hot tea squirted out, and Zhang Xian and the others turned their heads and stared at the embarrassed county order. The county commander knew that he was out of shape, so he hurriedly clenched his fists and shook it at Zhang Xianzuo, and said:

"This official is rude, rude, Lord Zhang also invites Haihan, you discuss, this official will go back and write a good news! Farewell, farewell! ”

After the county order was finished, he didn't dare to look at Zhang Xian at all, and ran out as soon as he slipped away. Zhang Xian didn't bother to pay attention to him, and said to Niu Dameng:

"A thousand people, and such a big loss! Niu Dameng, you go back to treat the wounded now, and the war dead will immediately pay bereavement pensions to their families, and find ways to help solve the difficulties for families in difficulty. After these things are done, gather everyone together and hold a meeting to summarize the experience, and the squad leader will summarize it, and all the personnel involved in the battle should speak, talk about what experience or lessons they have learned in the course of the battle, and give a reward of one to one hundred taels of silver for the size of the problem; For the brothers who can find a way to solve the problem, a reward of ten to five hundred taels of silver is given. The importance of these issues is to be agreed upon by everyone at the meeting. In the future, this matter will become a system that cannot be shaken. ”

Although Zhang Xian was prepared for the battle damage, but thinking of the loss of a thousand people, it still made Zhang Xian's flesh hurt, and after finishing speaking, he hurriedly sent Niu Da Meng to treat the wounded, and hurriedly called Zhao Feifei and said:

"Zhao Feifei, how is the loss of our Nether Wolf Ride?"

"My lord, there are a total of one hundred and one people in the Nether Wolf Riding and Zhao Feifei, six people were killed in this battle, 7 people were seriously injured, and 10 people were slightly injured."

Zhao Feifei replied while looking at Wang Fu, his face seemed to be more painful than Zhang Xian's. Wang Fu saw Zhang Xian clenching his fists and feeling distressed, so he hurriedly said some results, hoping to comfort Zhang Xian, and said:

"My lord, although our losses in this battle are indeed a bit beaten, but the results are indeed not small, even if the old man was back then, he could not win such a neat victory. In this battle, we killed more than 16,000 enemies, captured more than 15,000 people, captured 600 horses, and had not yet had time to count the gold, silver, and money. ”

"Wang Jiaotou, Zhao Feifei, maybe in the eyes of others, we are a great victory, but in the eyes of this official, our losses are still greater, especially the Netherwolf Ride, everyone is a choice of one out of ten thousand, a treasure that cannot be changed, and the loss of thirteen people in the first battle is absolutely not good."

Zhang Xian raised his head and continued:

"At that time, the eighteen cavalry of Yanyun in the land of Yan Zhao crisscrossed the field for more than ten years, and only one or two people were killed in battle, if we continue like this, we will kill these hundred or so people in two or three years, in addition to our equipment is not yet complete, it means that our drills must continue to be strengthened, and we also need to sum up lessons and lessons according to this battle. After you go back, Zhao Feifei You have to find a way to supplement the personnel, you must ensure the establishment of 100 people, and anyone you fancy can Zhao Benguan want people! ”

"And Sect Leader Wang, it seems that we still need to work hard for you a little more, we have lost more than a thousand brothers this time, this gap must be filled as soon as possible no matter what, and we must strengthen the drill. Fortunately, most of our current brothers are veterans who have participated in several wars, and the newcomers should soon enter the role. Now after the fall of Kuang Shihu, there should be no more bandits around the entire Yangzhou City, and the newcomers recruited, we can practice while letting the newcomers participate in the suppression of bandits, and only in the fight of blood and fire can we grow into a qualified sergeant.

Two months later, in Yangzhou City and County, a eunuch stood in the lobby, Li Tingzhi, Zhang Xian, and the county magistrate sat under the hall.

"The emperor heard that Yangzhou City has won several victories against bandits, and the dragon's heart is happy, and he has issued a holy decree to praise him, and the king of the Sprinkle family, Huaien, has come to announce the decree, and the three of you kneel down to receive the decree!"

After the eunuch finished speaking, Li Tingzhi, the county order, and Zhang Xian hurriedly knelt down and said in unison:

"Weichen Li Tingzhi, Gao Shengcai, and Zhang Xian welcome the holy decree!"

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, since Yangzhou Zhizhou Li Tingzhi presided over Yangzhou, he has used his ability to use his talents, and Yangzhou bandits have been one of them. The county commander Gao Shengcai had the merit of recommending and plotting to suppress the bandits, and the county lieutenant Zhang Xian took the lead in carrying out the patriotic and righteous deeds of loyalty to the monarch, and formed a militia group with his family members to exterminate tens of thousands of bandits, and I was very relieved. In order to show merit and highlight the righteousness of heaven and earth, Prince Li Tingzhi was specially crowned as a young protector; Yangzhou County ordered Gao Sheng to be promoted to Jiankang Mansion from the history of the five stabs; Zhang Xian, the lieutenant of Yangzhou City and County, gave his militia regiment as the Wurui Army, and promoted Zhang Xian to the commander of the Wurui Army, a guerrilla general, and admired this! ”

"Weichen received the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

After the eunuch read out the holy decree, Zhang Xian and the other three knelt on the ground and buckled their heads to thank him, for Zhang Xian, he was promoted from the commander to become a commander, this promotion was nothing, and the most surprising thing about Zhang Xian was that his family Ding militia was certified by the emperor to become a Wurui army.

This Wurui Army is not ordinary, it was given the name Wurui Army by the emperor after Li Tingzhi's army fought in Yangzhou City in the bloody battle. It seems that the butterfly wing effect of himself has begun to incite the trajectory of history, and he has become the commander of the Wurui Army.

Due to the very chaotic military positions in the Song Dynasty, in the Southern Song Dynasty, due to the annual wars, the traitorous ministers were in power, so that the military positions were even more chaotic. If the current Wurui Army was in the Northern Song Dynasty, it would be terrible, it would be a third-grade military attaché, with jurisdiction over 20,000 or 30,000 people; At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, the war continued to consume the army, and the imperial court kept making wishes for officials in order to recruit soldiers, so that the current commander has more than 5,000 people, who belong to the Wupin military attaché. In some places, it is not even as powerful as the capital. I can only say: yes, talk is better than nothing.

And Li Tingzhi became the prince Shaobao a few years in advance, this prince Shaobao is extremely courteous to the minister, Taishi, Taifu, Taibao, are all official positions in the East Palace. Taishi teaches literature, Taifu teaches martial arts, and Taibao protects its safety. The young master, the young master, and the young guard are all their deputies. Later, it was no longer a different position, but it was just an honorary title given by the emperor to meritorious ministers. However, for the minister, it is a gift of true glory to the ancestors, Li Tingzhi flew a credit because of Zhang Xian, and he was a little embarrassed in his heart, and felt that he owed Zhang Xian a great favor.

And for the county magistrate Gao Shengcai, there is no sense of indebtedness in his heart at all, and the whole person is immersed in the excitement of being promoted to the third level, the assassin of Jiankang Mansion, except that he is not a local minister under the imperial court, but his authority is the same as Li Tingzhi's. If he hadn't met Zhang Xian, even if he embezzled another 200,000 taels of silver, it would be difficult for him to climb to the position of this civil official from the fifth grade, and the county magistrate now looked at Zhang Xian's eyes, just like a young girl in Huaichun who saw a young man who looked like Pan An.

When the eunuch had finished pronouncing the decree, he said:

"The Sprinkle family congratulates you, by the way, the Sprinkle family is also entrusted, and there is a private matter to talk to Commander Zhang."

"Okay, okay, father-in-law, you can talk, and the lower officials will go out to prepare a dinner party and wash the dust for the princess!"

The county magistrate patted his ass, and after speaking, he walked out of the county hall with Li Tingzhi, and the eunuch saw that the people around him had finished, so Zhang Xian was left, so he said:

"Commander Zhang, congratulations to the Sprinkle family first, when the prime minister of the dynasty Jia is like Dao Jia, but he is very important to Zhang Da's talent. I didn't know what the festival between Lord Zhang and Liu Mengyan Liu Shilang was, and Liu Shilang expressed his doubts on Lord Zhang's good news, and planned to detain it, but in the end, it was Master Jia who saw that Lord Zhang was under the command of Marshal Lu Wende, and he was a person from Taishi's side, so he tried his best to protect it in front of the emperor, and this led to the glorious future of Commander Zhang.

The prime minister dragged the family to tell Commander Zhang, as long as you work hard and repay your kindness, in the court, your benefits are indispensable, and the road ahead is bumpy, and Commander Zhang must not take the wrong path. Commander Zhang made these few zhang down, he must have made a fortune, and the prime minister said that Lord Zhang wants to move up again in the future, and on the basis of the guerrilla general in the future, it is not difficult to seal a Dingyuan general or something, but the court also needs to be dotted, and it depends on how Lord Zhang grasps the future. ”

Zhang Xian is not a fool, where do you still not understand that this is Jia Nidao asking for credit from himself, which means that no matter how much you are bullish, without me Jia Nidao nodding in the court, you are nothing! Jia Rudao was even more arrogant to the point of openly asking for bribes from himself, which made Zhang Xian, who came through the time, feel what is the arrogance of traitors controlling the court and pointing to the deer as a horse.

It's just that Zhang Xian didn't expect that his cheap old man would also make a stumbling block in the good news, it seems that there is no one in the court, and it is really difficult to do things. However, these things related to honor, once you lower your head, it will be difficult to wash yourself from this mud in the future, Zhang Xian said with a smile to the eunuch:

"Please tell the prime minister that the lower officials used their own families to fight against the bandits, and they didn't want the court to reward them, and there were indeed some silver taels obtained by the bandits, but the lower officials' families were killed and injured and compensated, and the rest was sent to the people around Yangzhou City who were plagued by the bandits.

The messenger touched a soft nail in front of Zhang Xian, and the smile on his face instantly froze, and he said with a straight face:

"Maybe Mr. Zhang has just become an official, and he doesn't quite understand how to go in this officialdom, and there is no return if he doesn't pay. Master Jia also saw that Master Zhang was indeed a talent, so he stooped down to promote Lord Zhang, Lord Zhang should not be blinded by lard for a while and lose his good future! ”

Zhang Xian's eyes were like torches, staring coldly at the eunuch Wang Huaien, holding his hands behind his back, and slowly walking over like a mountain, Wang Huaien felt Zhang Xian's powerful aura, as if he was suppressed by this huge mountain, and couldn't help but retreat again and again.
