At dawn, some people were left to guard the prisoners, and Zhang Zai directly led the army to pull out. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

When they came to the fortress again, all that was left was the burning ruins, and the Xianbei people were gone.

For such a situation, he was already mentally prepared when he received the system prompt.

Looking at the fortress that was burned to ruins, Zhang Zai said: "After this battle, Xianbei may not be able to recover for a few years, and we also have to recuperate and rebuild the fortress. ”

"I will also play your merits truthfully this time, and ask for credit for you."

"Thank you, sir!"

"Captain Liu, you can replenish the personnel of the border guards, you can report the loss to the Taishou Mansion, and the Taishou Mansion will bear it, especially the food lost by the people, you must not hide it, now, the Taishou Mansion has the ability to fill this vacancy."

"No."

After Zhang Zai made the arrangement, he said to everyone: "Everyone, Yanmen is located on the border, and I hope you will work together to support this piece of heaven for the people." ”

"Do as your lord commands!"

……

Zhang Zai returned triumphantly, about to return to the Yin Pavilion, the news spread all over Yanmen, hundreds of people rejoiced, how many years, they did not hear the news of the victory in the side of the plug, and it was a big victory.

Every time a foreign race invades, Yanmen is a heavy loss, but the government is incompetent, can only watch the people suffer, and now there is finally a wise Taishou, now he has returned triumphantly, they naturally want to go out of the city to meet.

When Zhang Zai came to ten miles outside the Yin Pavilion City, it was already a sea of people, all the people spontaneously stood on both sides of the street, and from time to time some people knelt down to thank them, and more people chanted the words "long live" in their mouths.

Zhang Zai was moved by the simplicity of the people, and from time to time he hugged his fists and bowed to the people.

It took him an hour to walk a distance of ten miles.

In front of the city gate, Xu Guangqi led the officials of the Taishou Mansion to wait outside the gate, saw Zhang Zai returning, and ordered the band to play a triumphant song.

"The officials of the Taishou Mansion welcome the victorious return of Lord Taishou." Xu Guangqi stepped forward to bow.

The officials behind him also bowed and said, "Welcome to your triumphant return!" ”

"You don't have to be polite." Zhang Zai helped Xu Guangqi up, and at the same time looked at many officials: "This time to break the enemy, there are also many merits, and I will return to the house with me to reward my merits." ”

Along the way from the city gate to the Taishou Mansion, many people gave gifts to the army, or eggs, or a bowl of turbid wine.

The gifts given to Zhang Zai by the people, Zhang Zai only symbolically received some, maybe these things are very common for Zhang Zai, but they are things that the people are usually reluctant to eat or sell for money.

When he arrived at the Taishou Mansion, Zhang Zai thanked the people again before entering the mansion with a group of officials.

Xu Guangqi briefly reported the operation of the Taishou Mansion during this time, and then all Cao reported their work to Zhang Zai.

After listening to their report, Zhang Zai arranged the step-by-step work of the Taishou Mansion according to the current situation in Yanmen.

After the work arrangements of each Cao were completed, Zhang Zai dismissed everyone, leaving only Xu Guangqi and asked, "Is there any abnormality in the family in the county during this time?" ”

Xu Guangqi said with a smile: "Since the news came from the lord, Chen and the bad handsome have been monitoring day and night, but I haven't seen anything abnormal about them. ”

"They can't be relaxed." Zhang Zai has always been relieved, in his opinion, the family has always been a knife hanging over his head.

At the same time, in the Luoyang Palace, there is an inconspicuous side hall.

Zhao Hong looked at the man in front of him and asked, "Does this Zhang Zai really have such a ability?" ”

If Zhang Zai saw a man, he would definitely exclaim, this man was the man he had seen in Yanmen, but after Xianbei withdrew his troops, he had never seen him again.

"Your Majesty, this Zhang Zai is indeed very capable, this war, the minister has participated in it from beginning to end, during this time, the minister found that Zhang Zai is not only good at marching and fighting, but also has the ability to govern the place." The man narrated Zhang Zai's policy in Yanmen.

"Then do you think he is the same as the family, is he harboring evil intentions, or is he loyal to the Han family?" Liu Hong is not at ease with Zhang Zai after all, in recent years, he has secretly operated a big deal, and the information he has investigated makes him suspicious of everyone.

There are not many truly loyal courtiers in the court, and the families who used to be powerful in the past are secretly accumulating strength, and no one knows what kind of fangs they will show.

The man in cloth did not answer Liu Hong's words, but asked, "Your Majesty, do you remember the one you paid attention to before?" ”

"You mean Sun Wentai?" Liu Hong asked with a frown.

"Exactly, this Zhang Zai is quite similar to Sun Wentai in some places, whether he is a loyal minister or not, the minister is not sure, but he must have no good impression of the people of the family, since His Majesty is not worried about Zhang Zai, but he wants to use him, the minister has a note." The man in the cloth smiled slightly.

"What's the idea?" Liu Hong was curious, although he paid attention to Sun Wentai before, he was only a petty official, this Zhang Zai was already too guarded, even if he had to be entrusted with a heavy responsibility, it was not easy to appoint.

"The post of General Duliao has been vacant for several years, Your Majesty can give the post of General Duliao to Zhang Zai, and use him to stabilize the alien races in the north." The man said: "If Zhang Zai finally comes to the Han family, when the time comes, there will be General Huangfu inside, Sun Wentai and Zhang Zai outside, and a few people will join forces, which is enough to sweep the world for Your Majesty. ”

"That's a good idea." Liu Hong was a little moved.

"Your Majesty, Chief Zhao asks to see you." Outside the door, there was suddenly a small yellow door.

"Let him in."

……

Ten months later, the will of the imperial court was long overdue.

The messenger is still Xiao Huangmen last time, that is, Zhao Zhong's henchman.

"In the middle of the month of the year of Wuchen, His Majesty made an edict saying: I have heard of it...... Promoted Qing to the general of Duliao, and added Yanmen to guard ......"

Xiao Huang handed over the holy decree to Zhang Zai, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the general." ”

Zhang Zai was a little puzzled, how could Emperor Ling hand over such an important position of General Duliao to him?

Before Xianbei's invasion, he may have thought that Emperor Ling was a mediocre and incompetent person, but since he knew the existence of Da Whohe, and the man in cloth who had not been seen since Xianbei retired from the army, what role did he play, and what was Emperor Ling planning?

Now, he doesn't believe that the Spirit Emperor is really like a mediocre in history.

Of course, he will not show this kind of thought, and the gifts that should be given to the emperor and Zhao Zhong will naturally not be less, and with the support of the Zhen family, he will no longer have a financial shortage.

General Du Liao, who is responsible for the border defense of the northern border and the stabilization of the northern alien races, now has two independent military and political systems in his hands, and this Du Liao General's Mansion must be opened.

But to open a mansion, this long history, the main book, engagement, gongcao, and joining the army all need talents, and he can only choose from the officials in the county.

"There are still too few talents." Zhang Zai sighed in his heart, just an official needed by the General's Mansion was incomplete.

After a few days, Budugen also sent people to negotiate, and exchanged cattle, sheep, and horses for prisoners of war in Zhang Zai's hands, and Zhang Zai also made a windfall.
