Two days later, outside Xiangcheng, where Zhang Shihua led the army, a knight with a red scarf on his head and covered in blood was struggling to ride his horse towards the red turban army camp outside Xiangcheng. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, as he approached the camp, the knight was suddenly stopped.

"Stop coming, this is an important place in the military camp, don't get off the horse quickly!" While saying this, the soldiers who were guarding on the arrow tower also drew their longbows one after another, and aimed the cold and shining arrows at the knight of the Red Turban Army who rode his horse.

And the knight of the Red Turban Army, who was covered in blood, naturally did not dare to continue to ride his horse forward when he saw this scene. Instead, he hurriedly stopped his horse and shouted at the sentry guards: "Brother, don't let go of the arrows first, I am a personal guard under General Shang Cai Han, and I am here to ask General Zhang for help this time." ”

"Asking for help" Hearing this, the sentries glanced at each other, and the two gatekeepers with spears in their hands couldn't help but hold the spears in their hands and strode in front of the knight covered in blood.

"Hey brother, since you said that you are a personal guard under General Shang Cai Han, what evidence do you have in your hand?" After walking up to the knight again, an older soldier on the left couldn't help but ask.

"Credentials, yes, yes." Hearing the gatekeeper's question, the knight who asked for help also hurriedly took out a letter from his bosom.

Seeing that the knight had really taken out the letter from his bosom, the two guards with spears looked at each other and said with a smile on their faces: "In that case, let me wait for the brother to enter the camp." But until then, it's best for our brother's weapons to be kept by us. ”

Hearing this, the knight who asked for help not only did not show any unhappiness on his face, but still breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It should be, it should be." With this, he handed the bow and arrows he was carrying on his back and the saber at his waist to the two janitors.

And the bow-wielding sentinels on the arrow tower did not release the tight bowstring in their hands until they saw this scene, and untied the arrows.

In this way, Han San, the personal guard who desperately escaped from the encirclement of the Tartar army and rode his horse for a day and a night, also entered the heavily guarded camp here with the two gatekeepers with hope and expectation.

"You are the soldier who dared to come over from Shangcai's side to ask for help?" After Han San entered the camp, a general who seemed to be a hundred household officials walked up and asked him like this.

Hearing such a question, Han San, who knew his own situation well, was also busy nodding to the general and said, "If you go back to this general, it will be the one who broke through from Shangcai on the order of my general. This is my general's letter for help, please take a look. ”

After saying this, Han San took out the letter in his arms again. But what he didn't expect this time was that after seeing him take out the letter of request for help from his arms, the Baihu official actually took it, and read the words written on the envelope seriously.

"Oh my God, this hundred households actually know how to read!" Seeing this scene, Han San, who came to ask for help, couldn't help but think of it in his heart.

And Han San's surprise was actually not unreasonable. After all, in this era when the illiteracy rate exceeds 95 percent, a literate person is really too rare.

You must know that at this time, not to mention that the ant thieves of the Red Turban Army are anti-people, even among the officials and soldiers of the imperial court, there are many people who can't read and write. For example, you know that at the end of the Ming Dynasty three hundred years later, Zuo Liangyu, the chief soldier of the Ming Dynasty, was actually a big illiterate, otherwise he would not have reused a storyteller as his military adviser.

So when he saw that under Zhang Shihua's command, any hundred households could read and hyphenation, Han San couldn't help but be surprised.

And this, in fact, has a lot to do with Zhang Shihua. Because Zhang Shihua is a traverser, he attaches great importance to the literacy and hyphenation of his subordinates. After all, if the generals under him can't read and write, then they won't even be able to read the letters of the officers when they march and fight.

Therefore, not to mention anything else, in Zhang Shihua's army, all the generals and officers with more than 100 households recognize many commonly used words.

And then again, when the hundred-household official saw that the letter was indeed addressed to his own general, he should even hand the letter into Han San's hands again, and said to Han San: "The general is now in the big tent, this brother should also come, I will take you to meet my general." ”

"In this case, there is General Lao!" After hearing this, Han San couldn't help but have a happy face, and clasped his hands into fists, and said to the hundred household officials with such gratitude.

When the hundred-household official heard his words, he also waved his hand and said, "It's just a matter of internal affairs." After saying this, Chen Hanlang, the official of the hundred households, also turned around and took Han San and him towards the Chinese army camp where Zhang Shihua was.

"Zhang Shihua's big tent is gorgeous, very gorgeous." This was Han San's first reaction when he saw Zhang Shihua's big tent.

So after seeing Zhang Shihua's incomparably gorgeous tent, Han San couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Seeing Han San like this, Chen Hanlang couldn't help but smile and said: "This account was seized by the general from the hands of Gong Buban's Tartar, and the general was not willing to use this account yet, thinking that this account is too luxurious, and living here will make people's fighting spirit disappear." ”

"However, Mr. Zhao Ziyu Zhao said, 'If it is not magnificent, it cannot be powerful', and said that this account is the account of the defeated army, and living in it will make people 'introspect when they see the unvirtuous', so the general made his own big account with this account."

Hearing Chen Hanlang say this, although Han San, who didn't have much ink in his stomach, couldn't understand it too well, he still said with admiration on his face: "General Zhang is really heroic!" ”

However, after he said this, the two of them were also stopped by a team of personal guards guarding in front of Zhang Shihua's tent

"This is the general's camp, idlers stop!" An armored soldier with a steel knife in his hand couldn't help but stretch out his hand when he saw Chen Hanlang and Han San walking towards them, and shouted at them like this.

And after hearing this reprimand, Chen Hanlang couldn't help but take a step forward, and said to the armored soldier: "This brother, I am Chen Hanlang, the official of the Ding Ziying Hundred Households under Xu Ming and Xu Qianhu, and I have something important to come to report to the general today." ”

However, hearing Chen Hanlang's words, the armored soldier who guarded the tent snorted coldly without giving any face: "Chen Hanlang, you are also an official of a hundred households, don't you know that no matter how big or small things in the army are, they have to be reported level by level?" ”

"There are no rules, there is no circle, if everyone is like you, and they think they have something important and ask to see the general, then do you want to rest!"

Hearing such a faceless reprimand, Chen Hanlang couldn't help but bow his head with shame. However, at this time, Han San, who was standing behind Chen Hanlang, couldn't help but shout at Zhang Shihua's big tent: "General Cai Han's account personally guards Han San, and General Han is specially ordered to come to see General Zhang." ”

"Bastard, how can you make a loud noise in front of the general's tent!" Saying this, the tent guards all showed their blades in their hands and looked at Han San who was kneeling on the ground and yelling loudly with cold eyes.

However, this time, Han San did not back down or be afraid at all, and still knelt on the ground and shouted to ask Zhang Shihua to see him.

Seeing this, those armored soldiers guarding in front of Zhang Shihua's tent couldn't help but be angry. Therefore, after seeing that Han San was not ready to leave, these people also strode to Han San's side, preparing to drag him down and punish him.

However, just as those armored soldiers restrained Han San who was kneeling on the ground and wanted to drag him down, a fierce general wearing plate armor and a steel knife at his waist also strode out of the big tent.

"Stop it." After the strong general came out of the camp, he couldn't help but say in a loud voice when he saw Han San kneeling on the ground and the soldiers who were already preparing to drag Han San down.

And hearing the majestic words of this fierce general, those armored soldiers guarding the camp tent immediately let go of Han San, who was kneeling on the ground, and bowed his head and clenched his fists and bowed to the fierce general: "Subordinates, I've seen General Li!" ”

However, Li Wu, who strode out of the tent, did not pay attention to these tent guards. Instead, he strode in front of Han San, and said in a deep voice to Han San who was kneeling on the ground: "Come in with me, the general wants to see you." ”

After saying this, Li Wu no longer paid attention to Han San, who was kneeling on the ground and showed joy, but turned around directly and prepared to leave. However, just as Li Wu was about to leave, he suddenly turned to the side again, looked at Chen Hanlang who was standing on the other side with his head bowed with a serious face, and said, "Chen Hanlang, I read that you are a first-time offender, and the general will write it down for you for the time being." If you break the rules again in the future, you must be punished severely. ”

"Yes, the last general understands. The last general, General Xie. Hearing Li Wu's scolding, Chen Hanlang, who was an official of a hundred households, couldn't help but kneel on the ground with a pale face, and bowed to Zhang Shihua's tent like this.

Seeing this, Li Wu couldn't help but nodded, and waved his hand to let Chen Hanlang retreat.

And when Chen Hanlang retreated, Han San was also searched by those tent guards. After making sure that Han San did not have a weapon hidden on him, Li Wu also took Han San and entered the Chinese army tent where Zhang Shihua was.

After lowering his head and following Li Wuyi into Zhang Shihua's gorgeous tent, Han San, who had his head down, knelt on the ground in a posture of pushing the gold mountain and pouring the jade pillar before he saw Zhang Shihua sitting on the main seat.

"Your descendant, Han San, meet Lord Wanhu!"

"No need to be polite, hurry up and excuse yourself!" Seeing Han San so respectful, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth, and waved his hand at Han San who was kneeling on the ground and said.

And Han San, who was kneeling on the ground, heard Zhang Shihua's words, and after kowtowing to Zhang Shihua to thank him, he stood up from the ground very respectfully.

And after Han San stood up from the ground, Zhang Shihua looked at him and couldn't help but say, "Since Brother Han sent you to ask for help, there must be a letter to you, right?" ”

"Yes, yes, this is the letter that my family sent to Master Zhang from the general." As he spoke, Han San took out the letter that he had placed in his arms, bowed his head respectfully, and handed the letter to Li Wu who was standing beside him with both hands.

And after Li Wu took the letter with both hands, he also directly handed the letter to Zhang Shihua's hands.

Looking at the tightly sealed letter sealed by wax and the "Letter to Brother Zhang Xian" written on the surface of the letter, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but tear open the letter in front of Han San and Li Wu after smiling slightly.

After reading the contents of the letter in one breath with an expressionless face, Zhang Shihua couldn't help frowning slightly, and then said with a smile to Han San, who was standing there with his head down: "This brother, it is also hard for you to come all the way to this hundreds of miles. ”

"Ah Wu, arrange a tent for this brother, and let this brother go down first to rest and rest."

"The last general obeys!" Hearing Zhang Shihua's words, after Li Wu received the order in a loud voice, he couldn't help but turn to Han San who was standing there and said, "This brother, please." ”

Seeing this, Han San had a stomach full of things to say, but at this time, he could only nod and follow Li Wu out of Zhang Shihua's camp.

And after seeing Han San, the guard asking for help, leave, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but turn to the other guard standing beside him and said, "Quick, among the generals, the generals and Ziyu of more than 1,000 households have been summoned over, and there will be important matters to discuss with them." ”

"Subordinates obey!" Hearing Zhang Shihua's words, after the guard sang a fat promise, he also strode out of the camp, sounded the drum set up in front of the camp, and sent someone to ride a horse to the city to inform Zhao Ziyu, who was in charge of the logistics of the army.

……

After almost two quarters of an hour, all the thousands of household officials in the army and Zhao Ziyu, a logistics think tank official, also came to Zhang Shihua's Chinese army tent.

Therefore, in Zhang Shihua's big tent at this time, there are nine high-level subordinates, they are Zhao Jiu, Guo Yu, Zhang Shihui, Zhao Er, Shi Shisan, Zhao Ziyu, Bai Xi, Xu Ming, and Chen Xishan. In the middle of the term, Shi Shisan, who is a military judge, Zhao Ziyu, who is a logistics officer, and the rest of the people are all generals under Zhang Shihua.

And looking at his capable subordinates, Zhang Shihua couldn't help but tell these subordinates about Han Yan'er sending someone to ask him for help after coughing lightly.

Of course, after hearing such news, the reactions of these subordinates were also different.

"What, Han Yan'er asks us for help! Grandma's strangeness, this Han Biting who was besieged by the Tartars, how did he know that we had won the Gongbu class? The person who asked like this at this time, Zhang Shihua didn't need to look at it to know that this must have been said by his brother, Zhang Shihui.
