Zhang Xian patted Wang Fu lightly, confidant, everything is in a word, Zhang Xian knows Wang Fu's current mood too well, the rest of his life after the catastrophe is accompanied by hope, compared with the original life and death battle, who can be indifferent? Zhang Xian continued to say to everyone:

"Ladies and gentlemen, today we are double happy, one is that we have worked hard for several months and finally paid the imperial mission, and the other is to eradicate the root cause of right and wrong in the official's family, surrender to the county order, and get a large sum of silver taels inside and out, now we can let go of our hands and feet, and act according to the previous plan of the official, everyone remember, you are the humerus, money and people of the official, you don't have to worry, although you let go of your hands and feet to forge an invincible divine army for the official, this is your top priority at this stage."

Zhang Xian said with a smile: "Now that the matter is over, everyone's priority tonight is to go back to accompany the brothers to drink celebration wine, and when you drink it, you will go home to accompany your wife and children, and you will have a three-day holiday tomorrow, and everyone will go to the county office on time after three days, and wait for the official to send you!" ”

Everyone screamed with a bang, pulling Zhang Xian to fight for wine, even Wang Fu seemed to be infected, shouting that he would not get drunk with Zhang Xian, and when he went out to the door, Wang Yuyao came over, grabbed Wang Fu's sleeve and said softly:

"Daddy's health is important, it's better to drink less alcohol!"

Zhang Xian heard that Wang Yuyao persuaded Wang Fu to drink less, and it was inconvenient for other fathers and daughters to participate, so he walked quickly to the front to give their father and daughter space to talk, Wang Fu saw his baby daughter pulling his sleeve, but his eyes glanced at Zhang Xian, who had already walked twenty steps ahead, and said with a smile:

"Daughter, do you dislike your father's old age? I think that in Sichuan back then, the old man had to drink ten catties of spirits alone, who was the old man's opponent at the wine table? Are you afraid that your father will get drunk and feel distressed, right? Ay! It's really the family affair set for you back then that hurt my daughter, and it's too late for my father to regret it, too late to regret it! ”

Wang Yuyao was told the central matter by her father, her face was slightly red, she glanced at Zhang Xian from a distance, and said with low eyebrows:

"Look at what Daddy said, the world is big, in the daughter's heart, it is the father who is the biggest, and as a daughter, of course I hope that Daddy is in good health, so Daddy should drink less alcohol. As for the daughter's marriage, this is the fate of the number, no wonder the father, the ancient marriage, and a few people have made their own masters! Our father and daughter are now sinners who are destined to die in the world, and our daughter's love affair has guarded her father for the rest of her life! ”

Zhang Xian saw that Wang Fu and Fairy Yuyao were still talking behind, and thought that it would be okay if the celebration wine didn't want Wang Fu, so he turned his head and said loudly:

"Miss Yuyao relax, Wang Jiaotou is a talent that is difficult to find in this official, and she will never let him drink too much and hurt Wang Jiaotou's body, if the girl is really not at ease, you can go to the celebration banquet with us, and be a supervisor?"

"My lord's words are serious, how dare the little woman supervise everyone to celebrate and drink, just a kind reminder, before Sister Nianxin asked me to marry Jin Lan, the little woman will not bother, farewell!" After Wang Yuyao finished speaking, she slowly left like the wind.

Niu Dameng saw Zhang Xian's unfinished appearance, and whispered:

"I said, my lord, didn't you shout a Yuyao fairy before? Why is it called a girl now?? ”

Zhang Xian slapped Niu Dameng with a smile and whispered:

"In front of the family and the future father-in-law, how dare this official make a mistake? Unless the official doesn't want to have a peaceful birthday, let's go, you old cow is idle and idle, let's talk with a glass at the wine table! ”

The mountain behind the ancestral hall of the Zhang family, a lively scene of hot and noisy gongs and drums, the whole valley is densely packed with banquets, ten tables on the table, all of them are the backbone of more than 100 captains, and there are countless seats, Zhang Xian took a few subordinates, toasted to the newly recruited backbone captains of the family from table to table, Wang Fu found that Zhang Xian was toasting with these new and old backbones, and asked the most about the names, places of origin, and birthdays of these backbones, and asked if there were difficulties at home. The corners of the eyes that moved the backbone of these newcomers were sour, Zhang Xian encouraged everyone, and when it came to happiness, he also laughed with everyone, especially Niu Dameng, Jiang Wei, Fang Kun, Li Jinde and others, it was really a big meal and drink that was let go.

Wang Fu, who was walking behind Zhang Xian, had to sigh at Zhang Xian's superb means of controlling people, and in just a moment, those new backbones felt that they were unusually respected and valued by the owner, you know, the current Great Song Dynasty conscription, not to mention the salary and silver dragged and delayed, even if there is any respect between the generals and ordinary sergeants, the subordinates are slightly inferior to the generals, and the light one is an insult, and the generals who are a little more irritable have fallen on their subordinates. Wang Fu and the new backbones toasted frequently, found a gap and whispered to Zhang Xian:

"My lord has a good means, the old man believes that in the future, this army, in addition to absolutely obeying the orders of the adults, it is estimated that even the emperor will not be able to transfer a single soldier!"

Zhang Xian turned around and said to Wang Fu sincerely:

"Wang Jiaotou, I don't hide it, this official believes that anyone who gallops on the battlefield and wants to dominate the world, without a loyal iron army like an arm, all ambitions are empty talk! To be loyal to the army, the first thing is the loyalty of the generals, to achieve the loyalty of the generals, then you need to treat people with sincerity, you need to let their abilities be recognized, their future should be supported, you must have the grace of knowing them, you can remember the birthday of a general, and even remember a little difficulty in his family, you sincerely help him solve the difficulties, for the main general, it may be a gesture, but for the subordinates in difficulty, it is a charcoal in the snow, which is the source of loyalty. The loyalty of an army cannot fall from the sky for no reason, but it is the result of the careful cultivation of the generals of this army, to put it bluntly, it is identity! ”

Wang Fu listened carefully to Zhang Xian's explanation, for Wang Fu, he is also experienced in a hundred battles, and he once had a group of pro-soldiers and generals who regarded death as home, and he also did it as Zhang Xian said, but he really didn't calm down and think carefully about the truth, and now it was clearly explained by Zhang Xian, and if you think about it carefully, it's really like this.

"Sect Leader Wang, this official asked you to carefully select among the 2,000 people who are selected in a thousand, and among the 20 people selected, I don't know if you have selected it?"

, Wang Fu said to Zhang Xian:

"The twenty masters of the family that the old man had ordered the old man to select had already been selected, and they were all dressed up in night clothes, and they were already on standby outside the valley at any time, just waiting for the adults to give an order to act immediately. However, the old man was worried that the old man would be wiped out, after all, these family members, except for a small number of people who followed the adults out to experience the battle formation and killing, the vast majority of them were newcomers who had just trained for a few months, and they had no battlefield experience, in case they ......"

Zhang Xian saw Wang Fu with a worried look for the first time, and said with a smile:

"Sect Leader Wang doesn't need to worry, as long as you emphasize the enemy's awareness of the army during training, and explain to them the importance of maintaining combat vigilance at any time, then it's none of your business, the master leads the door, and the cultivation is personal, and today is a small test for them. Sect Leader Wang, you see that the banquet is about to disperse now, order the twenty people to start the action, and after the action is completed, you arrange for someone to check at the door, and write down the name to the official without a red mark on the back. ”

Wang Fu nodded and walked out quickly with big strides.

The banquet was still going on, and the sound on the wine table gradually became smaller, twenty black-clothed people outside the valley lowered their posture from the mouth of the valley, holding a brush dipped in red paint, and ran quickly into the woods, the speed of this run was very fast, just like a wild deer born in the forest, a few jumps were hidden in the depths of the forest, but there was no sound, at first glance, it was a practitioner with extraordinary martial arts, when the man in black sneaked to the first dark whistle pass, only to see two dark whistle men still looking at the valley with blank eyes, Waiting for the immediate change of guard to drink the celebratory wine, the two were completely unaware of the approaching threat, and suddenly their mouths were covered and their backs were drawn with a pen. When the two of them discovered the situation and were about to struggle to call for help, they were stopped by the masked man taking out a token and whispering:

"Don't mutter, this is what Lord Zhang arranged for us to test you, as a secret sentinel, you dare to be so careless, if we are Tartars, Lord Zhang, they will be more than lucky!"

"Are you your own people? Isn't this a celebration feast today, besides, there is no war yet, where did the Tartars come from? A family grunted and quibbled.

"Hmph, you mean the Tartars still need to say hello when they call? Do you think that Lord Zhang arranged for you to be a dark whistle for show? How did Wang Jiaotou and Master Zhang teach us? There are still fewer careless things in Jingzhou in history? Defend yourself for your incompetence, you really have enough! You are waiting quietly now, and you dare to make a noise to affect our actions, my lord said, military law is in practice. One of the men in black whispered, and then led the other men in black to sneak up like ghosts to the next outpost.

After the black-clothed man groped for a few secret whistles, he quickly floated into the banquet, and most of them were dizzy from drinking, and they felt that someone had scratched their backs and disappeared.

Zhang Xian sat alone in a room, quietly drinking tea, suddenly there was a shout outside, and after a while, it was quiet again, Zhang Xian thought in his heart, this test, I hope not to be wiped out, otherwise his hard work will be wasted.

At this moment, Wang Fu walked in with a man in black, the man in black was eight feet tall, and Zhang Xian was about the same height, after the veil was lifted, he had a red face and wide eyebrows, and his arms were thick, looking like Kong Wu's powerful and loyal and honest appearance, Wang Fu blushed and said:

"According to the order of the adult, the old man arranged for this Zhao Feifei to lead the strongest twenty family members to pretend to be Tartars to raid, the result is ashamed, we are full of three thousand, and only eighty people found out in time that we arranged people, this is the list of eighty people, half of them have participated in the suppression of bandits with adults, these eighty people are all good, and there are even people who countered the master of my purchase arrangement, others, including many new captains, and even Niu Dameng and several of them have been painted with red paint on their backs, counting, We are almost completely annihilated, and the old man is willing to be punished. ”

Zhang Xian stretched out his hand to take the list and asked Wang Fu and Zhao Feifei to sit down, indeed, almost ninety-seven percent of the family members were served in one pot, which made Zhang Xian's heart really not taste, although Zhang Xian knew very well that in ancient times, although he also attached importance to the concept of enemy situation, it was not as rigorous as the army of later generations, and he was unprepared to launch a surprise attack, but thinking of the only eighty people left, his heart was finally balanced a little, but Zhang Xian felt even more incredible about the Zhao Yunfei in front of him, and said:

"Aren't there eighty people who haven't been painted red by you? It can't be considered that the whole army was wiped out, Wang Jiaotou, let's introduce this Zhao Feifei fierce general, I think he must be as his name suggests, absolutely extraordinary, his skills should be superb, three thousand people, all of them have been marked by you in the blink of an eye, even if you ask twenty of you to cut three thousand watermelons, you will have to spend half a day, right? I didn't expect you to be able to do it in an instant, and even the official was very curious about how you did it? If you were on the battlefield, I'm afraid these people would have become the ghosts of your sword. ”

Wang Fu saw that Zhang Xian was interested in this Zhao Yunfei, and said with a smile:

"My lord really has good eyesight, this Zhao Feifei is a great strange person! The old man has been fighting on the battlefield for decades, and it is the first time he has seen such a fierce general, and this Zhao Feifei also has a great background, and it is possible to make adults scare when he says it! ”
