At the same time, in Shangcai City, in the study of the courtyard where Zhang Shihua was. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Your Excellency General, the news has come from the Ruyang Mansion City."

"Oh, how's it going?" Hearing Zhao Ziyu's question, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but put down the scroll in his hand, looked at Zhao Ziyu like this and asked.

Hearing Zhang Shihua ask like this, Zhao Ziyu couldn't help but clench his fists and said after saluting Zhang Shihua: "Back to the general's words, according to the news from Ruyang Mansion City, after Wen Wuenqi was defeated, he fled north at night. ”

"As a result, on the second night, General Luo Wensu led the army to catch up, and the 40,000 army was all scattered, but he was only spared first."

"Oh, looks like we're missing out on a good show." Hearing Zhao Ziyu's words, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but smile like this.

However, hearing Zhang Shihua's words, Zhao Ziyu smiled and said: "General, we have already made such a great contribution, and we should always give others some opportunities to perform, right?" ”

"Hahahaha, yes, yes, Ziyu's words are very heartfelt. By the way, Ziyu, the grain hoarded by the Tartars in Shangcai City has also been counted clearly? ”

"If you go back to your lordship, you have already counted it clearly, and the grain and grass that the Tartars have hoarded in Shangcai City have a total of 375,400 stones. According to the statistics of the lower officials, if calculated based on the current strength of our army, these grains and grass are enough for our army to eat for more than two years. ”

"Oh, that's a lot, that's great." Hearing Zhao Ziyu's words, Zhang Shihua, who couldn't think of it, couldn't help but say this with great joy.

"But no matter how much grain and grass you have, we can't swallow it all by yourself. In this way, Ziyu will take half of it from the middle point today, and wait until tomorrow with Ben Jiang to escort these grains and grass to Ruyang Mansion City and present it to Marshal Liu. ”

"General, if you say half of it, will it be too much?" Hearing Zhang Shihua say this, Zhao Ziyu, who also served as Zhang Shihua's housekeeper, couldn't help but say so painfully.

However, hearing Zhao Ziyu's words, Zhang Shihua waved his hand and said: "Ziyu, you must know that we are now in name, after all, we are Marshal Liu's subordinates. Besides, if there is no Marshal Liu's containment in this battle, how can we win. ”

"So these things are what we have to give, because that's our duty, do you understand?"

"Xia Guan understands, it's Xia Guan's eyes are gone, please forgive your sins, Xia Guan will do it now." After saying this, Zhao Ziyu couldn't help but slowly retreat after saluting Zhang Shihua.

And it wasn't until Zhao Ziyu retreated that Zhang Shihua looked at Zhao Ziyu's back, but couldn't help but shake his head.

"Ziyu is also a smart person, but such a smart person is easy to get confused when he encounters a big profit!" Thinking like this in his heart, Zhang Shihua picked up the military book on the table and couldn't help but study it attentively again.

……

Early the next morning, at the south gate of Shangcai City, Zhang Shihua personally led 5,000 soldiers and horses, as well as a grain collection team composed of people and husbands, which was several miles long, and gathered here.

"Ah Jiu, I will go south to Ruyang this time, and I will stay for three or five days at most. So after I leave, you should take a good look at Shangcai City. When I come back, let's go back to Nanyang together, understand? Looking at Zhao Jiu and the others who came to see him off, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but instruct like this.

And hearing Zhang Shihua's words, Zhao Jiu naturally nodded and said after saluting Zhang Shihua: "Don't worry, the general, the last general will definitely guard this city for the general, and he will not give others a chance to take advantage of it." ”

"Okay, I'm relieved to have your words. Okay, it's already ten miles out of the city, you don't have to send it, and then you can stay in Shangcai City with peace of mind, and when I come back, we will return to Nanyang together for the New Year. ”

"The last general will obey the order, and the last general will send the general." Hearing Zhang Shihua's words, Zhao Jiu and the others couldn't help but kneel on the ground one after another to see off Zhang Shihua and them. And it wasn't until Zhang Shihua left completely that they got up one after another and rode back to Shangcai City.

……

Two days later, that is, at noon on the third day, in Ruyang Fucheng, Liu Futong's marshal's mansion.

At this time, Liu Futong was discussing important affairs in the army with Luo Wensu, Du Zundao and others, but before these people could discuss any useful results, a herald with an urgent report suddenly came.

"Report! ~~" After a rush of horses' hooves, a cavalryman with a command flag on his back, singing this, walked quickly into this spacious and luxurious marshal's mansion under the gaze of hundreds of soldiers around the marshal's mansion.

"Report to the marshal, Zhang Wanhu of Nanyang Mansion has already led his troops to the north of the city for more than ten miles, and he can arrive at the capital from time to time." After seeing Liu Futong, the rider immediately knelt on the ground and reported to Liu Futong in such a loud voice.

When Liu Futong heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and smiled at Luo Wensu, Du Zundao and others standing next to him: "Look, Bochang is coming quickly, I thought it would take him two more days to come, but I didn't expect it to arrive today." ”

"With such an efficiency, he is worthy of being a brave general in our army." Saying this, Liu Futong couldn't help laughing.

When the people standing next to Liu Futong heard Liu Futong's words, they naturally echoed and said: "What the marshal said is that Zhang Wanhu won more with less, and won the officers and soldiers in a row, which is really a model for us. After I met Zhang Wanhu this time, I naturally wanted to ask General Zhang Wanhu for advice. ”

Hearing the echoing words of the generals under his command, Liu Futong naturally laughed again. And after laughing, he looked at the herald kneeling on the ground and asked: "Since you have seen General Zhang Bochang, then you can tell the marshal, how about the tiger under General Zhang's account?" ”

Hearing Liu Futong's question, the herald who was kneeling on the ground, after being slightly silent for a moment, couldn't help but say: "According to the villain, the soldiers and horses under General Zhang's command are very majestic. Moreover, in addition to the soldiers and horses, General Zhang also brought a grain team that stretched for several miles, which seemed to be prestigious. ”

When the "Grain Charging Team that stretches for miles" heard such a sentence, Liu Futong's eyes couldn't help but flash a smile that could not be concealed. Therefore, after this, Liu Futong couldn't help waving his hand and said to the generals and officials beside him: "Okay, good, it's really the division of the tiger." Do you hear, our great hero is here, why don't you go out of the city with Ben Shuai quickly? ”

After saying this, Liu Futong also asked his guards to lead his war horse and rode towards the north of the city.

Seeing that a coach like Liu Futong is like this, the generals who followed Liu Futong naturally rode their horses one after another. Therefore, when Liu Futong rode his horse to the north of Ruyang Fucheng, Liu Futong was already following thousands of people behind him.

……

Almost two quarters of an hour later, Zhang Shihua, who led his men and horses and the grain team, was already very close to Ruyang Fucheng.

"Look, Shogun, there seems to be someone at the city gate to greet us." When there were still two or three miles away from the north gate of Ruyang Mansion City, Li Wu, who was closely following Zhang Shihua by half a horse's head, couldn't help but point forward with his hand like this, and said to Zhang Shihua.

When Zhang Shihua heard Li Wu's words, he couldn't help but subconsciously straighten his spine, straightened his body, and looked ahead.

"Well, Liu Ziqi, is it Liu Futong." As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but say to the left and right: "See, it is Marshal Liu who is waiting for us in front, and you will come with me to see the salute." ”

After saying this, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but urge his crotch to get off his horse, and with more than 100 horsemen beside him, he rode out towards Liu Futong and others who were waiting at the city gate.

"The last general, Zhang Shihua, meet the marshal. Marshal Lao is a capital crime. After riding a horse and coming to a short distance in front of Liu Futong, Zhang Shihua, who turned over and dismounted, led a group of horsemen behind him, and couldn't help bending down and clasping his fists to Liu Futong like this.

And when Liu Futong saw Zhang Shihua like this, he naturally came to Zhang Shihua's side with three steps and two steps with a smile on his face. After that, he stretched out his hands and kindly helped Zhang Shihua up, and after helping Zhang Shihua up, he took Zhang Shihua's arm and smiled: "Hahahaha, Bochang, Bochang, Ben Shuai can be regarded as seeing you again, you really make Ben Shuai think about it!" ”

Speaking of this, Liu Futong looked at Zhang Shihua and couldn't help but let out a burst of laughter.

And Zhang Shihua saw Liu Futong like this, so he naturally smiled and said: "Don't hide it from the marshal, the last general can also be said to miss you marshal, it can really be said that you don't see each other for a day." After saying this, Zhang Shihua couldn't help laughing.

And after the two of them laughed, Liu Futong, who was holding Zhang Shihua's arm, couldn't help but say to his brother Liu Liu, who had been standing beside him: "Sixth brother, you quickly set aside a camp in the city for the sons and daughters under Bochang, and then have some good wine and meat from the past, but let these heroes of ours eat and drink well, understand?" ”

"The younger brother understands, the elder brother is in the direction, and the younger brother will do it." Hearing Liu Futong's words, Liu Liu naturally responded like this.

Seeing this, Zhang Shihua, who was standing on the other side, was naturally busy thanking Liu Futong, and after thanking him, he instructed Guo Yu behind him: "Ah Yu, after entering the city, you have to show me the soldiers, if there is one who dares to make trouble in the city, I will ask you." ”

"The last general obeys!" Hearing Zhang Shihua's words, Guo Yu was naturally busy singing a fat promise.

However, Liu Futong, who was holding Zhang Shihua's arm, couldn't help but glance at Guo Yu deeply after hearing Zhang Shihua's words. And after that, he couldn't help but smile at Zhang Shihua and asked: "Bochang, this strong man, but outside Ye Xian City, General Guo Yuguo, who defeated the 50,000-strong army of Gongbu Ban with 800 cavalry. ”

"Marshal, this is my brother-in-law. Ah Yu, why don't you hurry up and give the marshal a salute. After hearing Liu Futong's question, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but say to Guo Yu like this after answering.

And when Guo Yu heard Zhang Shihua's words, he naturally saluted Liu Futong again: "The last general Guo Yu pays a visit to Marshal Liu." ”

"Hurry up, hurry up. I have heard of the general's prestige for a long time, and when I see it today, it is also well-known. After saying this, Liu Futong looked at Zhang Shihua and couldn't help but say with envy: "There are such characters under Bochang's account, but it is really the envy of Ben Shuai." ”

And hearing Liu Futong's words, Zhang Shihua naturally said modestly and respectfully: "The marshal is broken, the marshal's fierce generals are like clouds, and the strategists are like rain, how can they be compared with the last generals." ”

However, for Zhang Shihua's words, Liu Futong didn't seem to hear it this time, and his eyes just looked at Guo Yu.

Obviously, a brave general like Guo Yu has indeed aroused his great interest. Seeing him like this, Du Zundao, who had been standing beside him all the time, couldn't help coughing lightly and said: "Marshal, since General Zhang has already come, then let's not stay here, the banquet in the city has been prepared, let's talk about it in the city first." ”

"Oh, yes, yes, let's go into the city, let's go into the field." Saying this, Liu Futong couldn't help but hold Zhang Shihua's arm again, and said to Zhang Shihua with a smile: "Come on, come on, today's banquet is to celebrate your achievements with Bochang, and today we will definitely not get drunk and not return." ”

However, hearing Liu Futong's words, Zhang Shihua smiled and waved his hand and said, "Marshal, don't be in a hurry for this first." You see, there are 180,000 stone grains and grass, which were specially transported from Shangcai City by the last general to be dedicated to you. The amount of these grains and grasses is quite large, and it is not suitable for transportation, so it is better to put them into storage first. ”

"How this makes. Bochang, that Shangcai City is not only won by you under a division, but the grain route of the Tartar army is cut off by you at the risk of death, it can be said that if there is no you, this Shuai will definitely have a difficult chance of winning against the Tartar army this time. ”

"You have done so much merit, and it is too late for me to reward you again, and how can I take your spoils again. If such a thing gets out, how will the people of the world think of me? So this is absolutely unacceptable, absolutely unacceptable. ”

When Zhang Shihua saw this, although his face showed a look of emotion, he couldn't help but secretly slander in his heart: "It's still quite pretend, and the girl is cheap and behaved." I've never seen such a brazen person. ”

However, although he thought so in his heart, Zhang Shihua still said with a touched face: "The marshal's words are wrong, and at the end of the day, it will be just a field in Taihe County, and the reason why we can have today is not all due to the marshal's support." Therefore, today's bread is just a little bit of the general's heart. ”

"The last general doesn't know what the people of the world will think of the marshal, but the last general knows that if anyone dares to criticize the marshal in this world, even if it is the end of the world, the last general will behead him. Therefore, the last general today implores the marshal to accept this little bit of the last general's heart, and repay the wish of the last general. ”

After saying this, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but bow to Liu Futong here.
