Zhao Xiaocheng's worship directly made Zhang Fan and the others at a loss for a while. Zhang Mancang hurriedly knelt on his knees and said in fear: "As a minister, I should serve the king, why is my king like this?" Sinners dare not be worshipped! ”

"My king is really tormented...... Fan Cheng knelt on the ground and echoed.

King Zhao Xiaocheng grinned slightly when he heard this, and a trace of warmth crept up on his originally handsome face, "The widow is worshiped by millions of old Zhao people!" ”

When Zhang Fan and the others heard King Zhao Xiaocheng say this, they immediately said in unison: "Swear to die and not dishonor the king's life!" ”

King Zhao Xiaocheng nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and then helped the two of them up one by one, and on the side, Lao Xiangguo instructed Zhang Fan and the others: "You two must wait for Liu Shiyi to recover before you can act, after all, there are some things, only his assistance can be safe!" ”

"Hey!"

Zhang Fan and the others gave up.

Not to mention that the four of Zhao Xiaocheng returned to each other in the main hall, and talked about it until noon when the sun reached the top, Zhang Fan and the two came out of the Sheng'an Hall together.

Zhang Mancang and Fan Cheng had a lot of trouble before because of their different Taoist schemes, and they were incompatible in the temple, and they didn't get along with each other in private. Now that the situation requires, the two have to put aside their previous suspicions and work together. At this time, the two of them were "wandering" together in the royal city, which caused the princes, princesses, and eunuchs in the city to be amazed, and Zhang Fan and the others also felt a little uncomfortable, and the atmosphere became more and more embarrassing.

In order to break the embarrassing situation, Zhang Mancang said to Fan Cheng hard-headedly: "Uh...... Brother Fan...... Shi Fang is the old man is reckless, I hope brother, you don't have to take it to heart, as for the past, ......" Speaking of this, Zhang Mancang secretly glanced at Fan Cheng with some embarrassment.

Although Zhang Mancang's words were not finished, they also surprised Fan Cheng, turned his head and glanced at Zhang Mancang in surprise, and then laughed heartily: "Brother Zhang said that he laughed, there is no feud between you and me, it's just that the previous ways were different!" Now the overall situation needs, and you and I are a 'double general' collusion, so the two of us must abandon the past suspicions and work together to assist my king to become a hegemon! ”

Fan Cheng's words won Zhang Mancang's approval, and the two looked at each other and smiled, which can be described as a smile of enmity.

"Dare to ask Brother Zhang what his plans are now?" Fan Cheng asked as he walked.

Zhang Mancang looked at the corner gate not far away, and his old face, which was originally slightly ruddy from laughter, gradually became sad. With a long sigh, Zhang Mancang said helplessly: "Naturally, I will go to the city wall first, and then go back to the camp to transfer some soldiers and hard labor." ”

"Aren't you going to see Liu Shiyi in the city?" Fan Cheng asked.

As soon as he thought of Old Doctor Liu, Zhang Mancang had two big heads, "Alas...... At this time, the top priority is to fill the gap in the city defense of Nancheng as soon as possible, and then talk about it after a while! Presumably, even if the old horseman can't get out of bed, it shouldn't be a problem to talk about hanging. Zhang Mancang said helplessly.

Fan Cheng nodded slightly when he heard this, and then the two of them fell silent again, as if they were thinking about something in their hearts. With a cup of tea, the two finally got out of the royal city. Standing at the foot of the city, looking at the majestic and extremely dilapidated city wall not far ahead, Zhang Mancang muttered with a sad face: "I have to speed up......

Although the place where Handan City is located is not as dense as the large rivers and rivers of Wei and Chu, due to frequent heavy rains, Handan City has been flooded for many years, and the people are miserable, and Zhang Mancang is also tired of dealing with this city. On the temple, there were also ministers who proposed to move the capital, but as soon as they considered that the Zhu, Fu and Qin rivers were natural moats, they gave up. Due to the continuous torrential rain in the past few days, the water level of the three rivers has soared, resulting in flooding, but fortunately, the soldiers and civilians in the city have worked together to fight the flooding, and the water potential has been initially controlled. Zhang Mancang and Fan Chengshen walked towards the South City Gate with one shallow foot, and it didn't take long for the two of them to come to the foot of the South City Gate, and at the same time, not far away, the commander of the pawn and a few soldiers pulled a cart of dead corpses to meet them.

"General Zhang!"

At a glance, the pawn saw that it was Zhang Mancang, and hurriedly trotted over and knelt down.

"Well, what's going on now? Can the specific number of casualties be checked together? Zhang Mancang asked coldly with a dark face.

"Handsome ......"

After secretly clearing his thoughts in his heart, the chief continued: "There were a total of 1,146 Qin prisoners in the southern city wall, and 839 were killed in this riot, and the remaining 107 were killed...... The whereabouts of the remaining 107 people are unknown......"

After the commander finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes, lowered his head, and waited for Zhang Mancang's military treatment. At this time, he only wanted to die in his heart, after all, he had an unshirkable responsibility for making such a big incident.

However, to the surprise of everyone present, Zhang Mancang did not raise his sword to cut the pawn commander in public, nor did he jump to his feet and scold him, but exhaled deeply with his back to the sky and asked again: "What are the casualties of our army and civilians?" ”

When the commander heard Zhang Mancang's question, he quickly opened his damp eyes and choked up: "More than 480 of our soldiers and civilians were seriously wounded, and ...... of the war dead" Speaking of this, the commander of the pawn was already paralyzed on the ground and couldn't cry silently.

"Say!" Zhang Mancang roared angrily.

"Gift...... General, there are ...... dead in our army and civilians There are more than 200 people ...... "After the chief replied to Zhang Mancang's words, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

When Fan Cheng heard that this hard labor riot had caused such heavy casualties to his side, he couldn't help but regret it, "Alas...... It's all my fault! At that time, my king wanted to send the royal city guards to support, and I shouldn't have said anything to intercept them, even if only half of the troops would not have reached such a field! As he spoke, Fan Cheng raised his dry old hand and was about to smash it on his mouth.

Just when the hand full of dry skin and old folds was about to smash into Fan Cheng's mouth with the sound of the wind, Zhang Mancang blocked it with his hand and said: "Brother Fan, don't blame yourself too much, I can't blame you for this matter, after all, you can't lose a big one because of a small one!" ”

"But ......"

"It's nothing, after all, it's better to die a few grass-headed commoners than my king is in danger, right? Besides......" Zhang Mancang looked at Fan Cheng, then glanced at the cart of dead corpses in front of him and continued: "Besides, this slap of the elder brother can resurrect these dead people?" ”

Zhang Mancang's words made Fan Cheng's old face instantly turn red, and then he broke free from Zhang Mancang's hand and bowed to him: "What Brother Zhang said is extremely true, Fan Cheng has just lost his temper!" However, Fan Cheng has something unclear, and he hopes that Brother Zhang will tell him. ”

"Oh? Brother Fan, just say it! Zhang Mancang said.

Fan Cheng glanced at the pawn commander who was kneeling on the ground and couldn't stop sobbing, and then said angrily: "If it is common sense, this kid should be cut down by the public to correct the military law!" Governing the army with a brother's temperament...... Isn't it too cheap for this kid? ”

Zhang Mancang ignored Fan Cheng when he heard this, but opened his mouth and said to the pawn commander: "Li Shi, this general knows that you have the heart of death today, so you are not afraid of death, and this general will not let you die!" This general will use the aggrieved strength in your heart and your mortal heart to deal with the 100-year-old criminals! From today onwards, you don't have to worry about the city defense, and the general will divide your three pawns to sweep out the one hundred and ten people. If the walls are repaired by then, you haven't found all the hundred-and-ten...... Hehe...... Li Shi, it's not as simple as you dying alone......"

After Zhang Mancang finished speaking, he didn't wait for the chief to respond, and then his old face turned sideways, turned around and walked towards the city gate......
