In this way, Zhang Shihua can be regarded as having a full six thousand households, they are Zhang Shihui, Guo Yu, Zhang Mingtong, Zhao Er, Xu Ming and Bai Xi. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Although Zhang Shihua is now only a 10,000 households, nominally he can command 3,000 people, but don't forget that even officers and soldiers like the Yuanmeng Imperial Court, there are still five or six redundant officials and 1,000 households in a 10,000 households, not to mention a rebel army like the Red Turban Army.

To put it mildly, even if Zhang Shihua seems to be okay and seal ten thousand households for his subordinates at once, it is his own business, and Liu Futong can't take care of it, and even Liu Futong will officially help Zhang Shihua appoint these ten thousand households after Zhang Shihua does this. After all, before the existence of such a terrible enemy as the Yuanmeng court, as long as Zhang Shihua did not violate Liu Futong's status and bottom line, then Liu Futong would never contradict Zhang Shihua for such a trivial matter.

Of course, after appointing these new thousand households, Zhang Shihua is also willing to recruit again.

Although Zhang Shihua now has exceeded 3,000 people because of the surrender of Bai Xi and others and the recent recruitment, Zhang Shihua still feels that it is not enough. Because Zhang Shihua can't help but feel that the proportion of soldiers under his command is too unbalanced.

After all, there are too many surrendered troops among these people, even if they have been disrupted by Zhang Shihua, Bai Xi's existence has undoubtedly set up a mountain in his own army, that is, the mountain party that belongs to the surrender and capture.

Although the strength of this mountain is extremely weak now, they do exist. This is not Zhang Shihua's unfounded conjecture, after all, where there are people, there will be competition, and after competition, there will naturally be all kinds of mountain parties.

At this point, from ancient times to the present, no organizational form of government can be avoided, even the grandfather of my dynasty in later generations once said: "There is no party outside the party, and the emperor thinks; There are no factions in the party, and there are all kinds of strange things. It can be seen from this that the mountain of political parties is really unavoidable.

For example, at this time, under Zhang Shihua's command, there were already three rudimentary parties, which were the veterans of the Inspection Department, the soldiers recruited by Zhang Shihua after he raised his troops, and a large number of prisoners.

Among them, the strongest and most grouped are naturally the veterans of the inspection department who followed Zhang Shihua to raise troops. Although their number is not large, now they add up to more than 80 people, but because they are the oldest and most trusted by Zhang Shihua, and they are the strongest under Zhang Shihua (the veterans of the inspection department are generally generals now), they are quite detached from the world, and they don't disdain or need to compare with people from other two parties.

And the other two parties are obviously far behind the veterans of the inspection department. However, they are not completely without status, such as Guo Yu, although he is Zhang Shihua's brother-in-law, but because he is not a veteran of the Inspection Department, and because of some problems that have occurred before, he is somewhat rejected by the veteran of the Inspection Department. But because of this, Guo Yu gradually had the momentum of becoming the leader among the soldiers recruited by Zhang Shihua.

As for Bai Xi, naturally it goes without saying, as an officer and deputy Wanhu, even if he has become a thousand households under Zhang Shihua now, but just with his previous prestige, needless to say, he will naturally attract a large number of soldiers and captives to gather on his side in order to seek refuge.

Of course, it is too early to talk about party affiliation at this time, after all, the interest groups with Zhang Shihua as the core have just emerged, and they have no reason to engage in any mountain party at all, and now it is just a symptom.

It will not really develop until one day this interest group with Zhang Shihua as the core becomes big enough that Zhang Shihua cannot directly control it and needs to appoint officials to govern it.

However, Zhang Shihua is not worried about this, after all, this army was completely established by Zhang Shihua, even if it evolves into a hundred parties, but for Zhang Shihua, a person with unparalleled prestige, it is at most a matter of one sentence.

After all, Zhang Shihua is not Liu Futong, he will become his "lord" in the future, not his "marshal".

Of course, having said that, Zhang Shihua still has to do the least that should be done.

After all, the proportion of surrendered prisoners in the army is too large, and there are 3,000 soldiers under Zhang Shihua's command, and almost more than 2,000 people are recruited soldiers. Therefore, Zhang Shihua thought about recruiting another 1,000 people from Xizhou and expanding the army to 4,000.

In this way, Guo Yu and his thousands of households are still 600 people per 1,000 households, and Zhang Shihua can also independently divide a scout battalion with a scale of 200 people, so that he is directly responsible for himself, making the army more efficient and regular.

However, on the evening of the day when Zhang Shihua was in charge of Xizhou City and began to deal with this matter, Luoshan City, Xinyang Prefecture, more than 20 miles southwest of Xizhou City, suddenly burst into flames of war, and there were bursts of shouts and killings.

Luoshan City is almost only a water away from Xizhou City, and Zhang Shihua originally planned to wait for the matter on his side to be dealt with, and then send a partial division to take it down, so as to serve as the forefront of Xizhou to resist the attack of the Yuanmeng court, but he didn't expect Zhang Shihua to do it yet, and someone had already done it before him.

In the front hall of the official office in Xizhou in the evening, Zhang Shihua sat on the main seat, raised his eyes and asked Jiang Da, who was standing under the hall and was in charge of the scout camp to inquire about the news: "Da Lang, have you found out what is going on in Luoshan?" ”

When Jiang Da heard Zhang Shihua ask like this, he immediately lowered his head and clenched his fists and replied to Zhang Shihua: "General Qiyu, the last general has already found out that the person who led the army to attack Luoshan City is none other than Marshal Liu's account, and General Han Han, the defender of Gushi City. ”

"Han Wunuhan?" When Zhang Shihua heard this name, he couldn't help but read curiously. And Wang Xianzhong, who was sitting on Zhang Shihua's right, heard Zhang Shihua's words, but explained to Zhang Shihua with a smile: "General, this Han Wunuhan is also an old man of our White Lotus Sect, you should have seen him too, don't look at him with a Mongolian name, but he is also a serious Han Chinese." ”

"At the beginning, when Marshal Liu attacked Zhu Gao's granary, he led his army to attack Gushi City. At that time, Marshal Liu was in a hurry to fight a decisive battle with the imperial army, so he left Han Wunuhan in Gushi. It is estimated that this guy couldn't bear the loneliness after knowing that our army won a big victory this time, so he led the army to capture Luoshan City. ”

When Zhang Shihua heard this, he couldn't help but nodded, when he went to Yingzhou City to see Liu Futong for the first time, he had indeed seen him. It is said that Han Wunuhan was also a brave general in the Red Turban Army, and was originally known as the Second Han in the Red Turban Army. However, Han Yan'er, who used to be as famous as him, has now become a high-powered Red Turban Army with tens of thousands of households and generals, with nearly 10,000 soldiers under his command, and there is such a gap in comparison, so it is no wonder that Han Wunuhan will lead the army to attack Luoshan for a long time. After all, people who used to be on the same level as themselves have now soared, and no one will feel comfortable with such a gap.

So after knowing the situation, Zhang Shihua no longer cared too much about Luoshan's affairs. Because, as long as Han Wunuhan is not stupid, he will definitely take the initiative to see him tomorrow, after all, it is not the first time for them to meet in Yingzhou, and now Zhang Shihua is far superior to him in terms of strength and fame, in this case, he can't help but bow his head.

……

At the same time, in Luoshan City, Han Wunuhan, who captured the city, was also in the county office, discussing matters related to Zhang Shihua.

In the front hall of the county government, Han Wunuhan looked at his soldiers who were excited and happy after easily attacking Luoshan City, and couldn't help but sigh.

To tell the truth, he Han Wunuhan is also a person with great ambitions, and the reason why he is willing to fight against the Yuan with Liu Futong is also because he has the ambition to do something big. But what he never expected was that because he couldn't catch the express train of "Yuemiao Decisive Battle" not long ago, those who were as famous as him in the past suddenly left themselves far behind, and even a newcomer like Zhang Shihua, whose qualifications were far inferior to him, was far superior to him by ten times in strength and status.

With such a gap, how can he be happy.

And one of Han Wunuhan's cronies, seeing his own general like this, he who had always been familiar with Han Wunuhan's thoughts, and suddenly understood what was going on, so he deliberately asked Han Wunuhan: "General, our army has won great victories everywhere, and the momentum is very good, and now that we have captured Luoshan City, why do you still sigh, General?" ”

When Han Wunuhan heard this, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "In the past, Han Yan'er was as famous as me, and Zhang Shihua was below me, but now he is ...... Hey......"

When the generals in the hall heard Han Wunuhan's words, they couldn't help but restrain the smiles on their faces, and his henchman Qian Ren even said to him: "Why does the general need to be like this, the general now sits on the land of two counties, and has thousands of elite soldiers under his command, if he has the opportunity, he will definitely be able to soar above the nine heavens." ”

When Han Wunuhan heard this, he nodded, and said to the generals with a firm face: "I have heard people say: The eldest husband was born in troubled times, and he should hold a three-foot sword and build an immortal achievement. I, Han Wunuhan, the rebel army, am not even, and I can live under the people for a long time. ”

"Today, I want to devote myself to Zhang Wanhu's account first, waiting for the opportunity of the great war, if the decisive battle has me, I will be able to achieve something great and soar above the nine heavens. Wait, would you like to share a great cause with me and leave a name for eternity? ”

When the generals in the hall heard Han Wunuhan's words, they all bowed and shouted: "I'll wait, dare not obey my fate!" ”

"Good! Qian Ren, I heard that every time Zhang Wanhu goes down to the city, he will exhaust the skilled craftsmen in the city, and regard the craftsmen as treasures. In this case, thou hast gathered together all the skilled craftsmen of our army, and hast prepared three thousand taels of silver for my vote. ”

"The last general obeys!" When Qian Ren heard this, he shouted loudly.

In this way, things developed towards Zhang Shihua's unexpected. However, these are not surprising, with Zhang Shihua's current prestige, he does have its own capital in the Red Turban Army. In fact, things are sometimes like this, the strong often don't need to do anything, and the weak will take the initiative to approach the past for their own interests.

However, what made Zhang Shihua even more unexpected was that in order to present Zhang Shihua with a satisfactory letter of nomination, Han Wunuhan, who was not very good in military discipline, destroyed the two big Luoshan households, although this move aroused great dissatisfaction among the local Haoqiang, but forced by the obscenity of the Red Turban Army at this time, Luoshan Haoqiang could only dare to be angry but did not dare to speak.

But what Han Wunuhan never imagined was that his actions laid a great curse for the Red Turban Army in the future.

……

Luo Shanxian, in a remote village and town in the southern countryside, a burly man with slender eyebrows and three white hairs on his cheeks, dressed in a Confucian robe, was quietly reading a military book under a big tree in the courtyard.

However, while the majestic man was reading a book, a warrior with a tiger's back walked into the courtyard, and after respectfully saluting the majestic man, he told the man everything that had happened in Luoshan City in the past few days.

When this man knew that Han Wunuhan had caused trouble in Luoshan City, which made Luo Shan Haoqiang and his dissatisfaction, he couldn't help but show a smile on his face, but he still didn't say anything, just nodded slightly to indicate that he already knew.

And it was only when the warrior saw this and left that the man said to himself, "A thief is a thief." Mess up, the more chaotic the better, and after the autumn harvest, the imperial army will come, and I will be the time for me to make a contribution to Timur. ”

Yes, this great man disappeared from Shenqiu City, and will shine in the future, so that the Han people in the world will be interested in Chakhan Timur.

But at this time, he was like a dragon, patiently waiting for the opportunity to take off for nine days......

However, Zhang Shihua still didn't know anything about what happened here, but when a few years later, Chakhan Timur became Zhang Shihua's biggest enemy in this life, Zhang Shihua regretted it more than once in his heart: "Why did I let him escape from under my nose, and it was ...... twice"

Perhaps this is the so-called fateful fate!

……

At noon on the second day, in the official hall of Xizhou City, Han Wunu unexpectedly came here with his generals in person. Although Zhang Shihua, as a traverser, has not heard of his name in later generations, Zhang Shihua must also maintain the minimum respect for this thousand-household general who has a great reputation in the Red Turban Army.

Therefore, after knowing that he had brought someone to come in person, Zhang Shihua showed his attention to these veteran White Lotus Sect personnel, and sent Zhao Jiuqi, who was the deputy Wanhu, to greet him.

Of course, it is impossible for Zhang Shihua to greet him in person, because if Zhang Shihua goes, it will not be to attach importance to Han Wunuhan, but to surrender his identity. After all, no matter how old Han Wunuhan's qualifications are, but now, he is not qualified to let Zhang Shihua greet him personally, after all, he is only a thousand households.
