But what Zhao Ziyu said is indeed very reasonable, and anger is obviously useless at this time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 After all, when the Red Turban Army had just won and Liu Futong was bent on going north, it was impossible for Zhang Shihua to risk the world's disapproval to attack Bu Wangsan, who was also the leader of the Righteous Army.

Because if Zhang Shihua did this, it would be tantamount to slapping Liu Futong, the generalissimo of the Red Turban Army, in the face. That's right, although Zhang Shihua now doesn't want to be like a few months ago, he can let Liu Futong handle it. However, in terms of comprehensive strength, Zhang Shihua is still not as good as Liu Futong.

And this means that if he tears his face with Liu Futong at this time, then the rebels in the whole Jiangbei will never be on his side. Because no one will look favorably on the weak in troubled times, let alone an ambitious and unreasonable weak.

And in this case, Zhang Shihua, who was hostile to both the Yuanmeng court and the righteous army, would definitely not escape death.

Therefore, after thinking about this, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but suppress the anger in his heart, and silently frowned and pondered.

"Ziyu, pass my military order to Mingtong, let him restrain his subordinates incomparably, and never provoke a war with the royal power. But before that, let him be sure to rush before the royal power, in the name of supporting friendly forces, take the inner countryside city for me, and cut off the possibility of the royal power going north. ”

Zhao Ziyu: "Subordinates obey orders!" But general, what if the royal power takes a risk, after our army's inner countryside cities, take the waterway west to attack Tangzhou's Miyang? ”

"Tangzhou Miyang" However, hearing Zhao Ziyu's question, Zhang Shihua snorted disdainfully: "If he really does this, it will be easier to do." Natang Prefecture is nominally a state county, but it is only a county city under its rule, not to mention the vast land, and the roads are extremely difficult to travel. ”

"With the current strength of Nabu Wang San, even if he defeats Tangzhou, it will definitely outweigh the losses, and his strength will be consumed in vain. And Ziyu, don't forget, the only official road to Tangzhou is in Nanyang, do you think this time Ben will let him, a cloth seller, take Tangzhou under my nose? ”

"Well, General, do you want to send troops south?" Hearing Zhang Shihua say this, Zhao Ziyu, who vaguely guessed what Zhang Shihua was going to do, couldn't help asking.

Hearing Zhao Ziyu's question, Zhang Shihua also nodded and said: "This is natural, after all, Nanyang and Zhenping counties, after recruiting troops, there are only more than 2,500 soldiers in the whole army, and it is too difficult to take Neixiang and Tangzhou while defending with this little force." ”

Zhao Ziyu: "Then general, who are you going to send to lead the troops south?" ”

Hearing Zhao Ziyu ask like this, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but say after being silent for a moment: "Just send Zhana and Chen Xishan to go, although these two people are thousands of households, but the total number of soldiers and horses under their command is almost 1,500 people, with the soldiers and horses of the two of them plus the soldiers and horses under the Mingtong account, it is enough to deal with the 3,000 rabble of the king." ”

However, hearing Zhang Shihua's words, Zhao Ziyu couldn't help frowning and said, "General, these two people are new generals. Especially Nazana is even more Yuan Mengtar, can he send such two people to go? ”

"Ziyu, you can rest assured. Both of these people are smart people who know what to do at this time, so they will definitely do their best. Speaking of this, the corners of Zhang Shihua's mouth couldn't help but raise a smile.

And Zhao Ziyu, who was standing opposite Zhang Shihua, saw Zhang Shihua like this, and Zhang Shihua's idea had already been decided in his heart, so he nodded and sang a fat promise, and then couldn't help but stride back.

And until Zhao Ziyu stepped back and left, Zhang Shihua, who had a somewhat gloomy face, couldn't help but hammer the table next to him again, and couldn't help scolding fiercely: "This thief cloth dealer really doesn't want to let me live a stable year." ”

……

Half an hour later, in a military camp in the north of Wuyang City, because he couldn't go home, he and his subordinates were drinking in the camp tent for Lezana, but at this time, they couldn't help but receive a military order from Zhang Shihua.

"Senhu Zana listens to orders. The Privy Council had an order, and Dengzhou had something to do, so he ordered the thousand-household official Zhana and the thousand-household official Chen Xishan to go south to Nanyang. After reciting Zhang Shihua's military order in such a concise and concise manner, the herald couldn't help but hand the brocade book stamped with Zhang Shihua's privy seal to Zhana, who was kneeling on the ground and full of wine.

And Zana, who was kneeling on one knee, said that he had drunk some wine at this time, but his consciousness was still extremely clear. No, after respectfully receiving the brocade book handed over with both hands, Zhana's big round face couldn't help but pile up a full smile, and with a harmless expression, he said to the hundred household officials who gave the order: "The Chinese New Year's Eve is really hard for the brother to pass the order. ”

"At this time, a little bit of heart from a certain family is not a respect, and the brother accepts it, even if it is a certain family and brother, you give it to your friends." Saying this, this Zhana couldn't help but take out a silver ingot full of weight from his bosom and handed it to the hundred household officials with both hands.

However, to Zana's great embarrassment, this Baihu official, who was born in the Inspection Division, just glanced at the silver he handed over with disdain, and then snorted coldly and said to him: "There is no merit, if General Zhana has anything to ask, just say it directly, as long as it can tell General Zhana, a certain family will say it." ”

"Hehe" Hearing this, Zhana, who was holding the ingots in both hands, couldn't help but smile embarrassedly. Therefore, after handing the silver taels in his hand to the guards behind him without a trace, Zhana couldn't help but look at the hundred household officials and smiled: "General Gaoyi, I really let a certain family see it." ”

"This, as the general said. A certain family really has something to do with you, so ask about it. Speaking of which, Zana's round face could no longer help but pile up that harmless smile of humans and animals.

And this hundred household officials from the inspection department saw him like this, although he was disdainful of this dog Tartar in his heart. But when he thought of what he had just said, he couldn't help but say to Zhana patiently: "The general has something to say quickly, and the last general is still busy at this time." ”

"Haha, okay, my brother is really fast, so I asked." Hearing such rude words from the hundred households, Zhana not only did not get angry, but also asked with a smile: "It's Chinese New Year's Eve, what happened to this Dengzhou, and let me go with General Chen?" ”

"I don't know the specifics, I only know that the three uprisings of King Bu in Dengzhou were successful, and they took the land of the two counties of Dengzhou in one fell swoop. Therefore, for the sake of the rebels at the same time, the Privy Council was ready to send troops to assist King Nabu III and help him tide over the difficulties. ”

"Okay, everything that a certain family knows is finished, and General Zhana should hurry up and go south. By the way, I forgot to tell General Zhana, the time given by the general to General Zhana and General Chen is only six days, that is to say, if the general cannot arrive in Nanyang on the sixth day of the first month, he will be punished according to the crime of missing the deadline. ”

After saying this, the official of the hundred households who came to give the order also turned over and left here without looking back.

However, it wasn't until after this person left that a Yuanmeng general nicknamed Fox under Zhana couldn't help frowning and said to Zhana: "General, something seems wrong with this. You also heard it just now, that Dengzhou Buwang San has already succeeded together, and he has also won two county towns at once. ”

"In this case, how could this King Bu need the help of the Privy Councillor. Is it ......?"

However, before he could finish his speculation, Zhana, who had been standing silently in front of him, gave this person a big mouth with a backhand.

"Bastard, shut up! If you don't speak, no one will treat you like a dumb person! After swelling the man's face heavily, Zhana looked at the subordinates behind him, and couldn't help but stare at them with two eyes and yelled: "I remember that you are all fucking to labor, everything we have now is rewarded by the Privy Council, and even our lives are given by the Privy Council." ”

"So we are the servants of the Privy Counsellor, the hunting dogs of the Privy Counsellor, we will bite whoever the Privy Counsellor asks us to bite, as for why we bite, and whether we should have it, it's not something that our group of eagle dogs need to consider, understand?"

As he said this, Zana's harmless smile swept away, and his two eyes were like two poisonous snakes, staring at everyone behind him.

And when those people saw this, they were frightened in their hearts, and naturally they also said in a loud voice: "I will understand, I will understand." The Privy Counsellor is the eagle soaring in the sky, and we are the hounds running in the wilderness, and we will definitely swear allegiance to the Privy Counsel and be the most loyal servants of the Privy Counsellor. ”

"Very well, if only you could understand. Well, now that you all know, the Privy Counsellor needs us, and it's time for us to show our loyalty to the Privy Counsellor in front of the rest of the world. Therefore, listen to me, and now gather all the soldiers in the camp for me, and in an hour we will leave the camp and set out. Seeing that everyone under the tent understood what they meant so quickly, Zhana, after nodding with satisfaction, couldn't help but order to the people under the tent.

And when the people under the tent heard Zana's words, they also sang a fat promise in their own voice, and then they strode back and prepared to go.

……

An hour and a half later, on the official road southwest of Wuyang City, Chen Xishan led his eight hundred men and horses to finally arrive here at the first time.

Because Chen Xishan and Zhana are stationed in different places, one is in the south and the other is in the east, so Chen Xishan and Zhana did not have the idea of looking for each other, but were both ready to wait for each other on this necessary road.

However, when Chen Xishan did his best to rush to the official road in the southwest as soon as he received the order, he was surprised to find that Tartar Zhana, who was farther away than him and had a similar army to him, had already led his men and horses and was waiting for him on a wilderness next to the official road.

"Hahahaha, General Zhana is really good at managing the army, and he came so quickly, which really makes a certain person a little embarrassed!" When he saw Zhana on a war horse, surrounded by a group of Tartar soldiers, waiting for him with a smile on his face, Chen Xishan, who came on horseback, couldn't help but smile at Zhana like this.

And Zhana, who was full of harmless smiles on his face, heard Chen Xishan's words, and smiled in return: "General Chen's words are serious, and compared with General Chen, he is just a front and back foot." Besides, for the Privy Council, even if a certain family is bold, they will never dare to slack off. ”

"Hahaha, yes, yes, General Zana is right. The Privy Counsellor has the grace of reinvention for us and others, and if he has received such a great favor from the Privy Councillor, if he does not understand the truth of knowing the kindness and doing things with his heart, then it is not in vain to be the son of man! Hearing Zhana Fangcai's words, Chen Xishan naturally echoed with laughter.

And hearing his echoing words, Zhana, who smiled like Maitreya Buddha, naturally nodded in agreement. Therefore, after these two people said this, the two people with different thoughts couldn't help but merge the two teams into a team and rushed towards Nanyang Mansion non-stop.

……

The next day, when Zhang Shihua was busy dealing with the New Year's greetings of his subordinate generals in the General's Mansion in Wuyang City, Zhang Mingtong and Xue Yulong finally received an urgent order from Zhang Shihua for 800 miles in Nanyang Mansion City, hundreds of miles away.

"Brother has worked hard. Come on, take this brother down to rest. In the official office of Nanyang Mansion, after Zhang Mingtong received the urgent order from the herald's hands, he couldn't help but praise the man like this, and then thoughtfully asked the left and right soldiers to take the man down to rest.

And after the herald went down, Zhang Mingtong glanced at Xue Yulong behind him, and couldn't help but open the military order issued by Zhang Shihua in front of Xue Yulong, and together with Xue Yulong, read the content of the brocade book at a glance and ten lines.

"Your Excellency, General, this is preparing to trap the royal power!" After reading Zhang Shihua's military order at a glance and ten lines, Xue Yulong, who was dressed in a brocade robe, couldn't help but sigh like this.

However, hearing Xue Yulong's words, Zhang Mingtong, who was holding the brocade book, had an unconcealable gleam in his eyes.

"It's finally time for me to show my means." After looking at the order on the brocade book to let him capture the inner countryside and take the opportunity to take Tangzhou, Zhang Mingtong, who had missed one battle after another in the past few months and had itchy bones, couldn't help but think of it with great excitement in his heart.

And Xue Yulong, who had been standing beside Zhang Mingtong all the time, saw Zhang Mingtong so silent, and after smiling slightly, he naturally guessed what Zhang Mingtong was thinking. Therefore, after coughing lightly, Xue Yulong couldn't help but ask Zhang Mingtong: "General Zhang, when do you think it is best to attack the inner countryside city, and do you need to wait for the arrival of reinforcements?" ”

"Haha, attacking the inner countryside is naturally as fast as possible. As for the reinforcements, by the time they arrived, the time had long been missed. So I think tomorrow morning will be the opportunity to send troops. Hearing Xue Yulong ask like this, Zhang Mingtong couldn't help but say this after laughing.
