Liu Yan suddenly heard Zhang Yan ask about this, and he was stunned in his heart, it had been several days, and at this time Zhang Yan asked in person, he didn't know how to answer.

In the past few days, Liu Miao has also thought very carefully, and for this reason, he also called Xue Li to discuss countermeasures together.

As a result, Xue Li suggested that Liu Miao agree to Zhang Yan's proposal, thinking that Tai Shi Ci was Zhang Yan's confidant, and Tai Shi Ci was brave and good at fighting, and he was also quite imposing, and after marrying his daughter to Tai Shi Ci, he was undoubtedly indirectly married to Zhang Yan. For future development, there will be great benefits.

Liu Miao thought about it again and again, but he never made up his mind, and he was hesitating.

"What Zhang Yuanjun mentioned, I naturally won't refuse. It's just that now it's an eventful time, Sun Ce is still eyeing him, and it's not appropriate to get married at this time. Why don't you wait until Sun Ce is driven away, and then choose an auspicious day for the zodiac, so that the little girl and Tai Shici can make a marriage contract? If Liu Miao didn't answer, he couldn't say anything, so he said casually.

Zhang Yan knew that this was Liu Xuan's expedient measure, and he did not force him, so as not to backfire. He nodded, and then said, "Then according to Liu Yuanjun's words, we will mention this matter when Sun Ce is driven away." ”

"Zhang Yuanjun, this training of the army is really too troublesome for you, but can this kind of training method really strengthen the physical fitness of the soldiers?" Liu Miao deliberately avoided the topic so as not to be slightly embarrassed.

Zhang Yan said with a smile: "Liu Yuanjun can rest assured, as long as they do what I say every day, they will definitely be strengthened within half a month." ”

"Zhang Yuanjun said that the training will last for half a month?" Liu Miao asked.

Zhang Yan asked rhetorically, "Hmm." Not half a month. Then this training camp will be in vain. How. Could it be that Liu Yuanjun has other plans? ”

Liu Xuan said: "Although Sun Ce has withdrawn from the army, he occupies Shicheng, Danyang and other places, and he has continued to recruit troops recently, I am afraid that if he waits for another half a month, Sun Ce's army will be much more." It is better to take advantage of the fact that our two armies still have an advantage, take the initiative to attack, and with the courage of Zhang Zhijun, we will definitely be able to drive Sun Ce away. ”

Zhang Yan said: "Liu makes Jun rest assured. I already have an arrangement, just to get rid of Sun Ce, he will kill again in the future. It is better to wait for a while, and when the army has achieved small achievements in training, then gather superior forces to encircle and annihilate Sun Ce in one fell swoop, and completely eliminate Sun Ce, so as not to leave a disaster. ”

When Liu Yan heard Zhang Yan say this, he knew that Zhang Yan had no intention of sending troops, so he simply stopped asking. Let it be. He just wanted to get rid of Sun Ce, but Zhang Yan's goal was to kill Sun Ce. Far more than he thought.

Afterwards, Liu Yan left under the pretext of leaving under the pretext of Zhang Yan, and continued to wait at the gate of the city, and asked people to prepare the rewards and distribute them to the first hundred people who ran back.

According to estimates, even if it is a physical fitness soldier, it will take half an hour to run back and forth first. However, the soldiers under Liu Xuan's account were far beyond his expectations.

When the fourth pillar of incense had just been burned, Zhang Yan saw Zhang Ying, Chen Heng and others running back quickly.

Zhang Yan didn't expect Zhang Ying and Chen Heng to run so fast, running like the wind, and were running towards the city gate.

Soon, Zhang Ying, Chen Heng and others ran to the city gate out of breath, Zhang Yanden stood up from the seat and said excitedly: "I really didn't expect you to run so fast......

Zhang Yan asked people to count the soldiers who ran back with Zhang Ying and Chen Heng, no more, no less, just one hundred, this is too coincidental, right?

However, since Zhang Yan promised them, he must fulfill this promise, so he said to Zhang Ying, Chen Heng and others: "You are the first hundred people to arrive, go and receive the reward!" ”

In order to stimulate the enthusiasm of the soldiers, the bounty for this competition was 10,000 yuan per person, which was a reward approved by Liu Xuan.

Zhang Ying, Chen Heng and the others were all full of joy, and they hugged their fists at Zhang Yan and said, "Thank you Zhang Yuanjun!" ”

One hundred people, after each receiving the reward, Zhang Yan walked to Zhang Ying's side with a happy face, stretched out and patted Zhang Ying on the back, and was about to praise them.

However, under this beat, he found a clue, he immediately took off the burden on Zhang Ying's back, opened it, and there were some straws inside!

In this competition, Zhang Yan asked the soldiers to bring heavy objects weighing 20 pounds, and did not check them one by one, but I didn't expect that Zhang Ying and Chen Heng, as commanders of the army, were blatantly cheating!

With these straws on their backs, there is no burden at all, no wonder they will run back so quickly!

Zhang Yan's face suddenly disappeared with joy, and in exchange for a look of anger, he threw the burden on the ground fiercely, and took off the burden of others one after another, as a result, these hundred people were carrying straw.

"Someone! Take down Zhang Ying and Chen Heng and behead them on the spot! Zhang Yan said sharply.

After Zhang Ying, Chen Heng and the others heard this, they all looked at each other for a while, and the others were also surprised when they heard Zhang Yan's order, they were the officials in the city, how dare they behead Zhang Ying and Chen Heng?

Seeing that everyone was indifferent, Zhang Yan said angrily: "What are you still doing there? If you don't do it again, you will be guilty of the same crime as Zhang Ying and Chen Heng! ”

The officials did not dare to disobey, and were about to take down Zhang Ying, Chen Heng and others, but saw Zhang Ying shouting loudly: "Who dare to touch me?" ”

The officials were afraid of Zhang Ying and did not dare to approach, Zhang Ying hurriedly said to Zhang Yan again: "Zhang Yuanjun, what crime have I committed, you want to behead me?" ”

"You are deceiving the army like this, you are guilty of bullying the army! According to military regulations, be beheaded for public display! Zhang Yan said.

"What bullshit military rules, the rules are set by people, we can implement them, or we may not enforce them!" Zhang Ying said with a tough attitude.

Seeing this, Chen Heng hurriedly stood up, hugged his fists respectfully to Zhang Yan and said: "Zhang Yuanjun, this time we are wrong, we shouldn't cheat, but please Zhang Yuanjun read that we are a first-time offender, and we are also a lieutenant colonel, just spare us this time, next time, we will never dare to do this again!" ”

Zhang Yan said: "It is precisely because you are all lieutenant generals and colonels in the army that you must be severely punished!" If it is an ordinary soldier who cheats and cheats, it is just a matter of beating him a few boards. However, as the commander of the army, you have committed such evil deeds, and if you do not punish them severely, the whole army will work up and down in the future, and it will inevitably breed unhealthy trends! ”

Zhang Ying retorted: "You are not our lord, why should we obey you?" Even if you want to kill, you still need our lord to speak! ”

Zhang Yan didn't want to bother them too much, and asked coldly: "I'll ask you again, are you going to be caught and dealt with, or are you waiting for me to do it?" ”

Zhang Ying said resolutely: "We are not your soldiers, nor are we your generals, why should we listen to you?" Even if we are punished, we will not be guilty of our mistakes unto death......"

Without waiting for Zhang Ying to finish speaking, with a "swish", Zhang Yan took out the long sword he carried with him, and slashed at Zhang Ying's neck.

Zhang Yan carried a bloody long sword, glared at the tiger's eyes, glared at Chen Heng and the others, and shouted: "Zhang Ying committed the crime of bullying the army first, and the crime of building the army last, I will behead him according to the crime, who dares to disobey me, the end will be like Zhang Ying!" ”

Chen Heng was terrified when he saw Zhang Ying being killed by Zhang Yan with a sword, but when he thought about it, even if he honestly accepted the punishment, he would be dead after all, so it was better to resist, maybe there was a glimmer of life. But he knew that Zhang Yan was powerful and that he was not an opponent, so he simply ran away, preparing to enter the city to find Liu Xuan as a shelter!

"Where to run!" How could Zhang Yan not see Chen Heng's heart, he shouted, threw the long sword in his hand, and inserted it directly into his heart from the back.

Chen Heng screamed and fell in a pool of blood.

As soon as Zhang Ying and Chen Heng died, the rest of the generals and colonels trembled, knelt on the ground one after another, begged Zhang Yan for mercy, put all the responsibility on Zhang Ying and Chen Heng, and broke off relations with Zhang Ying and Chen Heng, claiming that they were forced by them.

There is no proof of death, Zhang Yan has already killed Zhang Ying and Chen Heng, if he kills these people again, I am afraid that it will backfire. So, Zhang Yan ordered that these ninety-eight people should each go to the official to get a meal, and it would be over.

Subsequently, Zhang Yan asked people to inform Liu Xuan, saying that he killed Zhang Ying and Chen Heng on the basis of crime.

Liu Miao heard that Zhang Yan had killed Zhang Ying and Chen Heng, which was a pity, and he more or less resented Zhang Yan's arbitrariness. But since the matter has happened, it is too late for Liu Miao to say anything, and it is really unwise to offend Zhang Yan for the sake of Zhang Ying and Chen Heng.

So, Liu Miao once again issued a killing order in the name of the official document, Zhang Ying and Chen Heng deserved what they did, and warned the whole army to take this as a warning.

And the marathon race was cancelled. From this incident, Zhang Yan decided that he had to supervise these Yangzhou soldiers to prevent them from cheating, so he asked the blacksmith to make two iron balls of the same weight, distribute them to the soldiers separately, and then hold training.

Liu Miao's soldiers were even more worried because of this, for fear that they would violate military regulations.

After the death of Zhang Ying and Chen Heng, the Yangzhou soldiers were much more honest, and no one dared to obey Zhang Yan's orders and officially began their fair training.

Chen Deng and Tai Shici arrived in Jing County and She County successively, and successfully persuaded Zu Lang, the leader of the thieves in Jing County, and Jiao Ji, the leader of the thieves in She County.

At the same time, Chen Deng and Tai Shici also got the matter of Yan Baihu uniting Zu Lang and Jiao Ji, plus Tai Shici stabbed Yan Baihu last time, so Yan Baihu held a grudge against him, so he dispelled the idea of persuading Yan Baihu.

So, Chen Deng made an appointment with Zu Lang and Jiao, as long as they could get rid of Sun Ce, Zhang Yan would ask them to be Taishou, so that they could avoid the infamy of thieves.

Zu Lang and Jiao Ji each led their armies and rushed towards Danyang, where Sun Ce was, and continued to harass Sun Ce according to Chen Deng's instructions.

A few days later, Chen Deng and Tai Shici returned to Moling, wanted Zhang Yan to report on their achievements, and informed Zhang Yan that Zu Lang and Jiao had already led the army to set off, and everything was going according to Jihua.

After Zhang Yan heard this, he immediately stepped up his training, preparing to fight Sun Ce to the death in a few days! (To be continued......)
