Zhang Poxiao has always been low-key in the Treading Heaven Alliance, treating friends with sincerity, and he has been very popular in the league for just over a month, and he has long been in contact with Luo You, who is the captain of the third team of the vanguard army under Quan Xingyang, with more than 200 people.

Although he has outstanding ability, he has never shown his ability to martial arts and understand the art of war, and occasionally he has obtained his current position by showing a little ability when he is fighting, and only Zhang Poxiao knows all his abilities.

The two have met in private a few times, and they both want to go on a campaign, and only with military merits can you serve the public, and only then can someone be willing to follow you.

He trusted Zhang Poxiao not only because the two met when they were begging, but mainly because he could see that Zhang Poxiao was extraordinary, a person who would never be willing to be subordinate.

At that time, dozens of people would inexplicably obey Zhang Poxiao's arrangement, which was a unique charm of his personality, but he hadn't discovered it yet, and now Luo You was also quietly observing, of course, it was also a gamble, I just hope that I didn't see the wrong person this time.

On the seventh day of the retreat of the Yechao army, the three overseers jointly decided to go out to the three counties of Suixian, Guangyuan, and Dingbian, and the troops were divided into three routes, leaving 2,000 men in the city to garrison.

Quan Xingyang took Zhang Poxiao and his vanguard army to attack this time.

Suixian County is a county of Xunzhou in Nanzhao County, and it is an important road from Zhongque County to Xunzhou. Then the position was important, with nearly 3,000 people stationed, surrounded by mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

But if this place is captured, then Xunzhou will be at your fingertips, and it has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times.

Quan Xingyang arrived with 5,000 men and tried to attack first, but the resistance in the city was stubborn, and there was no substantial gain, and he attacked once a day for the next few days, but he still couldn't win.

If this kind of attack is time-sensitive, if it can't be taken in seven days, then even if this expedition fails, and in a few days and nights, the reinforcements will arrive, not to mention the damage to the morale of the army, and the occupied Wulin County will become very dangerous.

Quan Xingyang walked around anxiously in his camp, and several waves of people who came in to report the results of the battle were blown away by him, and yesterday a captain made him cut off his head after a few words against him, and now his head is still hanging at the door of the barracks.

Zhang Poxiao slowly walked up to Quan Xingyang and said, "General, I have a plan, I don't know if I should talk about it." ”

Quan Xingyang looked at the young man in front of him, with great interest, this person generally never took the initiative to speak after becoming a personal guard, and wanted to hear what he could do, so he asked, "Oh? But it doesn't hurt to talk about it. ”

"Overseer, why don't you call a team of men and horses to climb the mountain to bypass Suixian, and cut off the grain and grass in the rear of Suixian, so that the first must be panicked, and then we will find some relatives and friends of the defenders of Suixian to persuade them to surrender, and then post a notice in the city saying that all 20,000 troops in Wulin County will attack in three days, and there will be chaos in the city, and we will let the surrendered defenders burn the grain and grass storehouse on the night of the third day, and cooperate with our army to open the city gate, then it will be broken first."

"Hahaha, this method is feasible, I really didn't misunderstand you, if we can defeat Sui Xian this time, you take the first credit, quickly pass the order, let the second vanguard team cut off the other party's grain and grass, and the army has relatives and friends who defend the army to persuade them to surrender, and launch a general attack in three days."

The spies sent out in the past three days kept sending news back, and everything was carried out according to plan, so the people in the city saw the notices posted everywhere, saying that there was an attack by a large army, and that they had already become a mess, and many people planned to go out of the city and flee for their lives.

On the night of the third day, there was a sky-high fire in the city, and Quan Xingyang took advantage of the night to attack. At the gate of the county seat, the city gate had already been opened, and under the leadership of the surrendered defenders, Suixian County was easily occupied. Zhang Poxiao, as a pro-guard army, made great contributions and was promoted to the head of the pro-guard army, responsible for the collection and statistics of this finance.

This time, more than 10,000 taels of silver, 1,500 taels of gold, and more than 2,000 pieces of various cultural relics and antiques were seized.

When a landlord's house was inspected, the name of one of the many seized items caught Zhang Poxiao's attention, a book made of unknown animal skins from an ancient period, called "The Book of Nine Soldiers". He took it and read a few pages carefully, the content was obscure and difficult to understand, and he didn't know what to do, but he looked at the name domineering and left his mind, and didn't dare to take it for himself in private, and when all the financial statistics were completed and handed over to Quan Xingyang for reference, Zhang Poxiao found an opportunity to ask him for this book.

Hearing Zhang Poxiao ask for this book by name, Quan Xingyang was very curious, and he also took it and took a look, but it was full of strange sentences, which he couldn't understand, and he gave it to him without any surprise.

When I returned to Wulin County, the other troops also returned, and this expedition went very smoothly, Wulin, Suixian, Guangyuan, and Dingbian were all captured, and the entire Xunzhou became the territory of the Treading Heaven Alliance.

Zhang Poxiao took out the "Book of Nine Soldiers" in his spare time and took a look, and every time he looked at it, he was dizzy and didn't know what to do, but his intuition told him that this book was not simple, so he didn't throw it away and carry it with him all the time.

On this day, Zhang Poxiao went to Quan Xingyang's mansion to report to him, and saw a woman in a light pink dress when passing by the back garden.

This woman is about twenty-eight years old, not to mention the beauty of the moon but she looks delicate and upright, and she has an innocent and simple atmosphere.

Somehow, when he saw this woman, his heart inexplicably quickened at first sight, he blushed and quietly looked at it a few more times, and suddenly saw that this woman also looked over, and he was so frightened that he immediately fled quickly.

Returned to the barracks to find a guard who had been with Quan Xingyang for a long time, and asked about the origin of the woman he met in the back garden.

didn't sell Guan Zi and told him directly: "Manager Zhang, the woman you are talking about is the righteous daughter of the Quan Overseer, called Shi Wanwan." This woman is also a poor woman, her mother died in childbirth just after birth, and she was raised by her father. Her father used to be a good brother of the right overseer, the two of them used to be the official of Wulin County, but unfortunately when the poet girl was ten years old, his father died of illness, and the right overseer took her as a righteous daughter, in the first few years, the overseer was still more attentive to take care of her, and found a maid to serve her, and in the next few years, the court was corrupt and the overseer lived a difficult life and did not care about her, and it is not strange that you have not seen her. We guards haven't seen him a few times in months, and the other day I heard that the Overseers were looking for her a home. ”

After speaking, he deliberately looked at Zhang Poxiao's reaction.

Zhang Poxiao heard about this woman's experience, and then recalled himself, empathized, couldn't help but burst into tears, and later heard that the Quan Overseer wanted to find her a home, shocked, and his heart throbbed, and he secretly decided to find more opportunities to contact this woman, if this woman is also interested in herself, then she must be obtained by all odds.

He told the guards to step down and sat in the barracks, pondering how to approach the woman.
