Bidding farewell to Tang Baichuan, Chang Zhenbang returned to Jiujiang City, the first thing he did when he entered the city was to inspect the barracks, and when he saw his figure, he immediately broke the gossip of the officers and soldiers of the battalion, in fact, these rumors are nothing, nothing more than Chang Zhenbang faced the enemy outside Jiujiang City, learned that Liu Shijun and fled.

The morale of the battalions was maintained quite well, Chang Zhenbangya was very satisfied, so he beat the drums to gather the sergeants of the battalions, and praised a few words in public, so he ordered someone to move a few large vats containing water, and stood side by side in front of everyone, and the sergeants were blindfolded at once, although they did not dare to turn their heads and ears, but there was also a buzzing voice, and it was not a good thing to set up an urn in front of the army. As soon as this vat came up, many people thought of the legend of Sun Quan, Cao Cao and others cooking people in the vat, and immediately panicked many people, thinking that Chang Zhenbang rectified military discipline and wanted to kill a few small soldiers to set an example. After all, no matter how good a soldier is, he deserves it, as long as he is sure that he is wrong, he can definitely list a lot.

Chang Zhenbang looked at everyone's serious expressions, smiled slightly, and said: "Brothers, the performance in recent days, the town guard is still quite satisfied, of course, there are good and bad, those brothers who deserted, this official hopes that you can reimburse your family and country well, and someone will bring it up!" ”

When the army parted a gap, and several of Chang Zhenbang's personal horses carried two jars of sealed wine through the crowd, everyone was even more puzzled, and said that what kind of torture did this town guard invent?

Chang Zhenbang smiled slightly, strode over, smashed the sealing mud with a hard beat, stretched out his hand and snapped open, the aroma of wine suddenly spread unscrupulously, although the Jiujiang Army took the Wenxian Army as the backbone, after all, Jiangxi people accounted for the majority, these people are naturally no strangers to the taste of sealed jar wine, and even some people also brew their own sealed jar wine at home, but such a good sealed jar wine cannot be brewed. Suddenly, someone remembered the old Lu family's sealed wine.

"Such a good drink, it smells so good, if you take a sip, it will be really beautiful!"

"Lord Guardian, this won't be the royal tribute of the old Lu family!"

……

Chang Zhenbang asked and smiled, didn't say anything, just took a sip lightly, licked his lips and said, "It's really good wine, do you want to drink it, brothers?" ”

'I want to drink!'

The crowd shouted out almost at the same time.

Chang Zhenbang laughed, stretched out his hand, and a few horses carried two jars of sealed jar wine and poured them into the vats, and after pouring, these horses left again, and when they appeared, they had already carried a few loads of water to the big tank, put down the burden, and poured all the water in the bucket into the vat. Chang Zhenbang immediately clapped his hands, and the cooks immediately took out a stack of large thick bowls and put them in front of the soldiers. Then Ma Ben scooped the water into the soldiers' bowls with a scoop. Everyone immediately understood what was going on, and they were immediately a little moved.

In their eyes, what kind of officials are worth their lives? They may not be literate, but they are not stupid, they don't need the official to be wise, they just hope that when the official is promoted to get rich and eats meat, he gently shakes and throws some broth to them, and when he goes into battle to kill the enemy, he hopes that the official will not stay behind and hold the chick and watch.

Obviously, Chang Zhenbang is very in line with the standards of officials in their hearts, from Shahe to Xingang to Jiujiang, his rumors are like the smell of wine in the air, maybe they can't be smelled outside, but they have long been spread in the barracks, especially the matter of Pima Ding Jiujiang.

The first thought that he Chang Zhenbang left in the hearts of the soldiers was not to be cowardly.

Wenxian is Chang Zhenbang's descendant, everyone knows, Jiujiang, Shahe is just Chang Zhenbang's later expansion of soldiers and horses, but Chang Zhenbang's division commander is mostly Liu Shijun's generation of Jiujiang battalion commander, just this arrangement, but also greatly won the joy of Jiangxi soldiers.

This is the second thought that Chang Zhenbang left in the hearts of soldiers, that is, he is not bad.

Now this good royal tribute sealed wine, Chang Zhenbang unambiguously gave it to all the soldiers, although the liquid wine in his bowl has been very light, but this heart still makes the soldiers a little moved, at least this official has a good thing can still think of everyone, don't give such an official to sell his life to whom, to Liu Shijun?

Tonight, Chang Zhenbang left the soldiers with his third thought, which is selflessness.

If Tang Baichuan is present, it is estimated that he will say that the elder brother is really a good means, and a few jars of water will buy the military heart of a division, which is really a good deal.

After drinking this glass of wine, a soldier shouted in the crowd: "Thank you for the reward of the town guard, the little one will fight, and sweep away those Central China troops for the adults!" ”

Then a large group of people knelt down in the crowd and shouted: "Thank you for the reward of the town guard, the small ones please fight, and sweep away those Central China troops for the adults!" ”

Chang Zhenbang didn't say a word, looking at the people who knelt down below as if they had been hit by the plague, from a handful to a large piece, and finally almost all of them knelt down to ask for battle, and after everyone knelt down, Chang Zhenbang said coldly: "Thank you brothers for your love, let's go to Jiujiang tonight and capture Zhou Defa alive!" ”

"Go out of Jiujiang and capture Zhou Defa alive!" The slogan suddenly spread like an anti-storm, and Chang Zhenbang immediately shouted: "Let the first brigade of the Central China Tiansuo Department be the vanguard and follow Lord Ben to attack De'an." ”

Central China was overjoyed, and immediately responded loudly: "Please rest assured, my lordship, I will definitely defeat the Central China Army and capture Zhou Defa alive."

Chang Zhenbang turned to Zhang Youhua and said: "Zhang Youhua's division of the Second Brigade is deployed thirty miles outside Jiujiang City, if the Second Army does not come, it will be fine, and if the Second Army of Central China takes a step, give me a hard beating!" ”

"Order!" Zhang Youhua replied loudly.

"Liu Shifa is in the queue!" Chang Zhenbang found Liu Shifa's location from the crowd and shouted loudly.

"Humble duty!"

Chang Zhenbang said: "Your department stays in Jiujiang City, don't maintain stability in the city, but if there are those who commit rebellion, there will be no forgiveness, destroy the nine clans, and copy the whole family!" Don't let a spy mess around the city! ”

Liu Shifa said loudly: "The humble post will definitely complete the task!" "But the second brigade under his command has quit, and other people's war deployment is all war exploits, but they are the only ones who watch their homes, isn't it obvious that they are bullying people!

Chang Zhenbang glanced at everyone and said: "Jiujiang is the foundation of my Chang Zhenbang, if Jiujiang City is lost, my Chang Zhenbang will be defeated, this task Hua Zhongtian can't, Zhang Youhua can't, only your brothers of the second brigade can do it, Zhenbang has no intention of underestimating your brothers, and please defend Jiujiang City for Zhenbang!" As he spoke, he bowed in the direction of the Second Brigade.

Liu Shifa turned around and reprimanded fiercely: "Since ancient times, the generals have defended the city, and there are not a few attackers, but the people who stay behind are cronies and soldiers, thanks to the fact that the adults will not give up, take us as cronies, leave Jiujiang City to us to guard, and hand over the root of the Jiujiang Town Guard to our brothers, if you don't fight, it will be a great achievement, if you brothers say irresponsible things, your lord can tolerate you, but I, Liu Shifa, can't tolerate you!" ”

The reason has been understood, the soldiers of the second brigade immediately understood, although the battle is majestic, but after all, it is to die, I don't know how to envy before I can stay to defend the city, but now what is wrong with me, I am stupid, and immediately shouted: "Please rest assured, brothers must be optimistic about Jiujiang City for adults!" ”

Chang Zhenbang said: "After I, Chang Zhenbang, defeated the first army in Central China, I will come back to reward you brothers!" Disband! ”

After the disbandment, Zhang Youneng and others wearing ordinary military uniforms ran out of the crowd, and Zhang Youneng rushed to Chang Zhenbang to ask for reward: "How is it, cousin!" Chang Zhenbang looked left and right and saw that no one looked at him, so he whispered: "It's better if you're not in a hurry!" As he spoke, he took out a small pocket watch from his bosom and threw it over.

Zhang Youneng took it and looked at it, and said a little frustratedly: "Cousin is not a brother who said you, this pocket watch is a valuable object, but you can't always give me this thing, this good brother has become a watch seller!" ”

"Don't pull it down! Give me! Chang Zhenbang saw him kicking his nose on his face, and immediately lowered his face and stretched out his hand to say.

Zhang Youneng hurriedly hid the pocket watch in his arms and said, "My cousin's reward, how dare the younger brother make irresponsible remarks?" Little brother, I will change my clothes and attack the first army with you and capture Zhou Defa alive! With that, he galloped away.

Chang Zhenbang smiled bitterly, and soon Xiaoliu and others brought him a black Puma, this horse is really beautiful, the whole body is black and shining in the moonlight, as if coated with a layer of oil, there is no stray hair, from head to tail one zhang long, from the hoof to the neck eight feet high; Screaming and roaring, there is the shape of taking off into the sea, the muscles of the whole body are bulging, full of explosive feeling of power, the eyes are like hanging bells emitting a faint purple luster, at this time to see like a night pearl, reaching out to the back, it is like touching a big man, that uninhibited is really surprising, Chang Zhenbang couldn't help but praise: "Good horse, really good horse." ”

Chang Zhenbang, who can't put it down, really never gets tired of looking at the black Puma, and only after about a pillar of incense did he come back to his senses, this horse is really good, but he has never seen such a good horse before, who is so caring and gives such a good horse to himself, he couldn't help but turn his head to Zhang Xiaoliu and ask.

Zhang Xiaoliu said: "Returning to your lordship, this horse was given to us in the stable by Lord Liu a few days ago, as a reward for that set of tea sets." It's just that I can't see you these days, so I haven't had time to tell you."

Chang Zhenbang smiled and said: "The tea set is useless to me, but this horse is also a treasure to Lord Liu!" It won't be like that anymore. After speaking, he turned over and got on the horse, took Zhang Xiaoliu, Zhang Youneng converged with Huazhongtian, and quickly rode out of Jiujiang City from the south gate, and the entire brigade was also a human title, and the horse was wrapped in hooves, and disappeared into the vast Jiujiang night without making a sound.
