And Zhang Shihua, who knows this drawback, naturally will not ridiculously establish himself as a god. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, Zhang Shihua can use this method to make himself as wise and martial as possible in the eyes of the world. After all, how important a good reputation is, Zhang Shihua is not unaware.

That's why Zhang Shihua said that Friday is a talent.

And now, when Zhang Shihua took Xu Ming and others to sit by the fire, laughing and chatting with a restrained and excited pawn next to him, they also served a meal for Zhang Shihua and them on Friday, and delivered the meal to Zhang Shihua's hands.

The soldier's meal was very simple, that is, rice porridge and some pickles for seasoning. However, such a simple meal is already very rare for soldiers who can't eat a full meal on weekdays. But the same meal is a little difficult to swallow for Xu Ming, who is used to being pampered.

After all, although it is rice porridge, it is naturally impossible to cook all the rice in the big pot of rice of the soldiers, but to add all kinds of grains and pasta to cook grocery rice.

As for the pickles with salt added as a condiment, Xu Ming couldn't whet his appetite even more.

At this point, Xu Ming couldn't help but complain a little about Zhang Shihua in his heart: "You said that if you inspect the barracks, you will inspect the barracks, you still have to eat with this group of soldiers, eat such a meal, isn't it okay to find guilt." I don't believe that you Zhang Shihua can really eat this kind of food. ”

Thinking of this, Xu Ming took the bowl and looked at Zhang Shihua beside him.

However, when he saw Zhang Shihua's gobbling appearance, he was completely convinced. "This Lord Zhang is really unusual." Xu Ming thought so in his heart, then picked up the bowl, and seemed to bury his head in the bowl to eat the rice in the bowl, but for the black pickles in front of him, Xu Ming didn't want to touch it.

And besides, the group of soldiers, when they saw their general Zhang Shihua sitting with them, eating the same meal, they also felt a little kind in their hearts for no reason. Although it is said that this group of new pawns are all Taihe people, and they all know some of Zhang Shihua's deeds to a greater or lesser extent.

But just like later generations admired a celebrity, although they knew a lot of deeds related to that celebrity.

But in the eyes of most people, that celebrity is still far away from them, so that for many people, this celebrity is more of a symbol than a living person. And Zhang Shihua is naturally like this in the eyes of this group of soldiers.

Although the soldiers all knew that Zhang Shihua had done inspections, and had exterminated three bandits for the Taihe people, and even many soldiers had seen Zhang Shihua, they still didn't know Zhang Shihua. In their eyes, Lord Zhang Shihua is just a symbol that represents wisdom and martial arts and some does not eat fireworks in the world, and it cannot be regarded as the real Lord Zhang Shihua Zhang.

So when Zhang Shihua smiled and sat by the fire with them to eat, they couldn't help but feel cordial.

And in the same kind of intimacy, Zhang Shihua and Master Zhang have transformed from a symbol or a legend into a living flesh-and-blood person in their hearts.

It was also at this time that Zhang Shihua truly became the leader who was loved by the soldiers and determined to be loyal.

……

After eating all the meals served for him on Friday in one go, Zhang Shihua wiped his mouth with his sleeve, touched his stomach with some disregard for his image, and said, "This meal, eat comfortably." After speaking, Zhang Shihua looked at Friday again and said with a smile: "Okay, I didn't expect your kid to be quite good at cooking." ”

When Friday heard this, he touched his head with a smirk. There is really a gap between that and the majestic appearance he had just seen when he told the story to the new pawn.

And Zhang Shihua also smiled when he saw this, so he immediately said: "Okay, it's not early, so I won't continue to stay here to make you uncomfortable." ”

After speaking, Zhang Shihua patted the soil on his body and stood up from the ground.

Then he said to Friday and the new soldiers, "Okay, we have to go tomorrow, so you all have to rest quickly." After saying this, Zhang Shihua took Xu Ming and them to leave here.

And after seeing Zhang Shihua and them leave on Friday, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then he wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to the recruits who were still excited on their faces, "Okay, they are all stunned." I haven't cleaned up yet, and I'm done sleeping. ”

When the new pawns heard this, they also got busy, but just by looking at the excited expressions on their faces, you could tell. What happened tonight should be enough for this group of new pawns to brag about for a long time.

……

Early the next morning, the 1,500 Red Turban Army, who had rested all night, continued to gallop in the direction of Shenqiu City. In Zhang Shihua's thoughts: "If there is no accident on the road, the army should be able to reach Shenqiu City tonight." ”

"But there shouldn't be an accident, after all, Zhang Shihua doesn't think that the officers and soldiers of the Yuanmeng Imperial Court have such great courage to dare to fight with such an army in such a flat place."

And what happened afterwards was really as Zhang Shihua expected, this army arrived at Shenqiu City smoothly in the evening, and in the three miles of Shenqiu City, they cut down trees and built camps and tools on the spot, making it look like they were going to attack Shenqiu City with all their might.

At sunset, the Red Turban Army outside the city had already set up camp, and now they were buried and cooking, so at this time, outside Shenqiu City, it seemed that there was smoke curling. However, at this time, the smoke outside the city did not have that beautiful pastoral atmosphere, but was extremely depressing.

The depressing made the soldiers guarding the city a little breathless.

And among them, the most depressed and panicked should be the county Yin and Jian County in Shenqiu City, after all, the examples of Taihe and Yingshang clearly told them that once Shenqiu City was broken by the Red Turban Army outside the city, what would happen to them.

Therefore, under the threat of death, the pair of Jian County and County Yin, who had always been at odds, suddenly became unprecedentedly united. And their unity naturally led to the officials below, such as the chief lieutenant Bo and the like. So now is really the time when the officials of Shenqiu City are the most open-minded.

And I have to say that the power that a group of bureaucrats united from top to bottom can burst out is really unimaginable. For example, Shen Qiu Cheng successfully formed a young militia of 500 people in just three days, and this kind of speed and execution was absolutely unimaginable before.

However, although the officials in Shenqiu City have one mind, this does not mean that the local snakes and the people at the bottom in Shenqiu City will have the same heart as them. After all, with the example of the Taihe Zhang family, no one can guarantee that the head snake in Shenqiu City will not do the same thing.

And even this group of landlords and wealthy families of the same class as them may betray, not to mention the people at the bottom who have always hated them.

So when the Red Turban Army outside the city called, the officials of the Yuanmeng Imperial Court inside the city suddenly found that they didn't know what to do. Because when they think about all this, they suddenly realize that there are too many people in this city that they don't trust.

But even so, the officials chose to stay in the city, not because they were loyal and brave, but because they were given death orders from above. It is said that ten days later, the counterinsurgency army of the imperial court will arrive, and let them hold Shenqiu no matter what, otherwise this group of officials with one heart and one heart would have run away long ago.

But then again, heroes can appear in that place, and wise men can appear in even the most decaying kingdoms.

For example, at this time, in the county government of Shenqiu City, the county Yin and the supervisor were discussing with Shenqiu, a wise man who could absolutely be trusted, what they should do next.
