Zhang Shixiong's face was pale, after all, he still stood very straight and saluted Sun Jingting and Wang Changfu.

"Let me tell you something," Wang Changfu calmed down a little and said to the officers: "Forget it, you see who is next to me." ”

Everyone looked over, there was a group of pro-soldiers with lanterns in the rain curtain, Wen Zhongfa was standing in the light of the lights and grinning at everyone, his robe and armor had scars and blood stains, obviously after a hard battle.

"You are relieved." Wen Zhongfa and the bald man had a lot of hard work to get to Xiaohehe Fort, but they didn't expect to see such a good show as soon as they came, he endured it desperately, and the corners of his mouth still showed a smile...... Wen Zhongfa said loudly: "Your Excellency has nothing to do in Jining Fort, in fact, your Excellency really wants to come out, so you will stand out with me, just considering that the main force of the Northern Captives is now being fished by adults in Jining Fort, if the adults leave, it is likely to loosen the buttons, so if the adults don't leave, send me to come with a warrant, so that you must not send troops without authorization, it is not yet the time!" ”

Li Gui said excitedly: "The safety of the adults is much more important than a victory, no matter how many adults are in the military fort at the beginning, after you stand out, the northern captives don't know if the adults are still there, why stay in the fort!" ”

Wen Zhong laughed and said: "Your Excellency will wander around the city if you have nothing to do, and you will even shout to the Mongols that before they join the siege, you will go out of the fort to hunt, so the northern captives know that your lord is still there." ”

"There is no need to talk about it." Sun Jingting said to Wen Zhong: "You rest first, I will reply to you as soon as possible and ask you to go back to life." ”

"Yes, Master Sun."

Wen Zhongfa gave a military salute with a serious expression, and at the same time he gestured to the bald head...... If you don't understand the cause and effect, you can only be vague when you report it, and you can't pass the test at that time.

The bald man understood, nodded his head slightly, and left in the scattered group of officers.

All the officers were unlucky, if they had known that Wen Zhongfa had rushed over and brought a warrant from Lord Zhang, this incident could have been completely avoided tonight.

Zhang Shixiong's face was pale, he was the leader of this series of events, this time the confinement was fine, only slightly damaged his prestige, but from then on he did not know what his future would be.

Zhou Yao and the others looked relaxed, and a few officers who were born as horse thieves were still humming a small tune as they walked.

Lu Bukuan said with a smile: "This fight is very happy, and one of my teeth is loose, but that kid is not easy, and the bridge of his nose must be discounted." ”

"The strict military regulations are ......" Yang Chunhe said with a happy face: "When I was a border army, I didn't fight one day, and when I became a bandit, I led my subordinates to fight in groups, since I entered the door of Heyusheng, the fight is avoided, and I am really happy to fight today......

"Every day is training and training, and these two or three months are all about practicing the method of line formation, we have been horse thieves for many years, and suddenly we will not fight."

"This is bullshit, today's battle with the Beiyu, if we are still horse thieves, don't say whether we can win or not, do you dare to fucking go?"

"Hehe, I look at what you said, just find a place to talk about it, how can I not know that this practice method is really powerful?"

When Zhou Yao heard this, he said with a straight face: "Don't think that you have practiced!" The Lord said that the method of this battle is that he doesn't know how to practice without encountering a strong enemy, and besides, the Lord also said that the cavalry of thousands of people and more than 10,000 people who have completed it will keep a strict queue to fight, which is a hundred times better than the cavalry method of the east and west of the north, but it is not possible to practice it in three or five months, and without a few years of hard work, the soul of this cavalry cannot be practiced! ”

This time, everyone was bitter, but no one said anything. Everyone is involved in the fight again, the interest is still very high, these horse thieves or bandits, indeed once very indulgent, now they are of course very good in and Yusheng, when the horse thieves and bandits are really happy, but most of the time the fart can not be grabbed, the situation is good to eat meat and drink, the situation is not good and very difficult, although it is not as comfortable as when it was a bandit, it is good to ensure the income of drought and flood, and Yusheng's formal officers will have a share bonus of the firm, a lot of weight, everyone has a share, according to seniority, military position, military merit medal to distribute, like Zhou Yao, there must be an annuity of several hundred taels or thousands of taels a year, plus salaries, although it is not as robbed as the bandit leader, but after all, there is no need to worry about being exterminated by officers and soldiers, spreading the head to all directions, and dishonoring the ancestors.

"Thank you for tonight."

When the bandits and horse thieves were bragging about their skins, Zhang Shixiong and the others kept silent, tonight's incident was originally to mutiny, but fortunately they were blocked by Zhou Yao, and then Sun Jingting and Wang Changfu rushed with Wen Zhongfa, and everyone was on the edge of the cliff to hold the reins.

Even Zhang Shixiong had to thank Zhou Yao at this time!

Zhou Yao smiled indifferently and said, "Forget it, there will still be a chance for us to fight in a group in the future, and the rifts and differences between us cannot be solved by these two things." I brought someone to stop you, just to want to break with Yusheng as a whole and not be broken by you boys, if it doesn't work, you guys can still find some serious things to do, what should I do, go back to be a bandit? ”

Zhang Shixiong was silent, and then he realized that he and Yusheng as a whole, there are thousands of clues, it is difficult to clarify the thousands of factions, to say that this time, most of the officers who have been following him are officers from Xinpingbao and Li Zhuang schools, those who were porters or dart masters were already middle and high-level officers, even if they were still middle and lower-level officers, they were also out of the matter, and the officers from Lingqiu miners were not involved.

There are many factions under the banner of Yusheng, and there are small groups under the big group, but some banner figures are publicly introduced as the core of their respective factions, such as Liang Xing of the Dart Master Lahu faction, Wang Changfu of the porter border army faction, bandits and horse thieves are under the banner of Zhou Yao, and the Lingqiu miners are Sun Yao and Tang Wangzong and others, and under the banner, in fact, small groups have been formed according to their positions and affinity.

When Zhang Han was there, he did not deliberately suppress these factional groups, or even acquiesced in connivance.

Zhang Shixiong privately pondered this matter, and he felt that Lord Zhang deliberately connived at the emergence of factions in the army to make some checks and balances. But if you look closely, in fact, Zhang Han has never used factions to divide the generals, and deliberately creates discord...... This is different from the Ming army, the towns of the Ming border army, when the imperial court is strict, pay attention to the "big and small system", set up a general army, and those local guerrilla battalions and city guard camps use middle and lower level generals who are not in harmony with the general army, and even civilian officials will deliberately provoke military generals to fight among themselves and create discord, so that the generals are opposed to each other, so as to prevent the military and towns from being the same, joining forces against civilian officials or even rebellion.

Of course, He Yusheng has no problems in this regard, and Zhang Han's most important thing is to work together to pinch the army into a whole.

Zhang Shixiong suddenly remembered the slogan written by Zhang Han himself, and enlarged and engraved on the wall of the barracks: loyalty, honor, unity.

The six big red characters are simple and clear, and they are also Zhang Han's highest requirements and standards for this army.

Zhang Shixiong was sweating profusely, and he realized that he had been very wrong all along.

"It's good to think it through." A rare smile appeared in Zhou Yao's eyes, and he said: "It's okay to fight, you have to have a degree, you crossed the line this time, but adults won't do anything to you, relax your mind, rest assured that you will squat and confinement with me, you will still have your battle to fight in the future, you are a fierce general, Ma Wu is also good, today he counterattacked, and hit Beiyu by surprise, otherwise how to capture someone's little Taiji......"

Zhang Shixiong didn't say anything, he nodded lightly to Zhou Yao, and walked together with the rest of the young officers.

……

Li Gui was very strange why he was not punished, he was neither locked up nor punished with a military stick, and even after Sun Jingting and Wang Changfu saw him, Sun Jingting said lightly and ordered him to come to the public hall for a meeting...... Zhang Han's new warrant still has a lot of content that needs to be studied.

"Lord Zhang is really a heavenly ......" Li Gui and Xia Xiping walked together, and he said to Xia Xiping: "I am in danger, I can still expect that there will be instability outside, and I also expect that the Beiyu is trying to dispatch us to fight a decisive battle in advance, and in the midst of being surrounded, we can still control the overall situation." ”

Xia Xiping glanced at him and said, "This is not what you want to say, right?" ”

Li Gui smiled awkwardly and said, "This is indeed my idea......

Xia Xiping snorted and said, "You should read more Tang newspapers and maps, study more staff materials, and calm your mind." ”

He was younger than Li Gui, but when he said these words to Li Gui at this time, it was very natural, and although Li Gui felt a little embarrassed when he heard it, he could only nod.

"What's going to happen down there?"

Xia Xiping said: "We received a military order on the west road, we must pass it on to the east road, and the two roads will be stable, and I think that if it goes well, it will be consumed like this, and it will be consumed until the north is exhausted, and the departments will be centrifuged, at that time, our army can choose to fight, or you can choose to continue to repair the fort, the initiative is in me, and next year, the north will be cut off for a year, the horse market will be broken, the people will be sleepy, and the strength will be weakened, and our army will re-expand the army, and it will be invincible strategically." ”

Li Gui didn't say anything to praise this time, but the admiration in his eyes was still very obvious.

Of course, this kind of grand strategic layout is controlled by Lord Zhang, but Sun Jingting and Xia Xiping in front of him can also really understand it, but he and Zhang Shixiong and others seem to be mature, and their official positions have also gone up, but they are actually still hairy young men......

Li Gui said a little confused: "What should I do in the future?" ”

"Didn't I just tell you?" Xia Xiping said: "Do your part with peace of mind, don't mix other people's affairs." ”

Li Guidao: "Shixiong, after all, they are former classmates and friends, and we are also a group. ”
