In the afternoon, Zhang Yue took advantage of his free time to ride a horse to Zhang's shop in the west of the city to take a look, but it was closed, and there was no one here, so he went home. After Zhang Yue went out of the city, he galloped back to Anyang, and saw that the village was still fine, and it was not much damaged, so he got off the horse at the entrance of the village and led the horse to walk home.

The courtyard door was hidden, there was a rustling sound of sharpening knives inside, someone was at home, Zhang Yue was happy in his heart, tied the horse to the tree outside the courtyard gate, pushed the door in, and saw the second brother Zhang Cheng squatting in the corner of the small courtyard, with his two arms rubbing back and forth.

"Where's Daddy? Why didn't you enter the city today? Zhang Yue asked.

"Daddy has entered the city...... Hey? When did you come back? Didn't happen? Zhang Cheng stood up with a look of surprise.

"I came back with the army yesterday, do you want something to happen to me?" Zhang Yue rolled his eyes angrily.

"Hey...... I thought you were captured by the Liao army! My father and I asked people everywhere, and the villagers said that they didn't see you......"

"That's definitely not because they haven't been captured by the Liao army!"

"Huh? What does this mean? ”

The second brother scratched the back of his head in confusion, Zhang Yue didn't bother to explain, he looked for something when he entered the house, anyway, he just carried a bag of clothes, shoes and socks, and was about to go out with it.

"You're just coming back, where are you going? Still with clothes and going out for a long time? Zhang Cheng was puzzled.

"Boy, alas! Want to go to Tokyo to be a soldier? Zhang Yue went out and hung the package on the saddle, jumped on the horse with the saddle, and laughed proudly.

"I want to think about it, but my father won't agree! When did you join the army, and you even had a horse! The second brother Zhang Cheng was envious to death, looking at the tall horse, and the Adam's apple rolled up and down.

"Stay at home, and when my father comes back and tell him, he will say that I live in a camp outside the city, and I don't have to look for anything, and I will go to the butcher shop in the west of the city." Zhang Yue hit the horse and left, and when he turned around, he saw that the second brother was still standing at the door and stretched his neck and looked stupidly.

Soon after returning to the camp, my father took his second brother to find the outside of the barracks, the name Zhang Yue was still very loud in the Chengde army, and the soldiers at the camp gate immediately ran errands to find Zhang Yue and explained the situation.

Zhang Yue came out of the camp to meet his father Zhang Yonghe, and had to explain the miserable life after being captured by the Liao army, and said his future plans. Zhang Yonghe didn't have a few good words, and he didn't approve of Zhang Yue's joining the army, but he had to accept the fact that he couldn't help his grandfather, blinked his eyes, told him a few words with a stinky face, and forcibly dragged his second brother back.

As soon as he returned to the camp after sending his father away, a small official came with a few errand soldiers, and asked the soldiers guarding the camp to come in to find him, saying that Zhang Tinghan, the assassin of Jizhou, wanted to see him, Zhang Yue thought about it, but he really couldn't think of when his name reached the ears of the state assassin, and he thought that there was nothing good, so he simply refused.

In the next two days, Zhang Yue agitated in the refugee camp and finally recruited all the soldiers, and the remaining refugees were sent home by the state government one after another.

There are enough soldiers, but there is still a large shortage of qualified grass-roots officers, Zhang Yue asked He Jiyun for help, and personally selected 150 young veterans with meritorious combat from the Chengde Army, registered them, and compiled them to enlist in the army, and finally put up a shelf.

Zhang Yue got on the bus first and then made up the ticket, took the commander himself, and took Zong Jingcheng as the deputy envoy, no way, people have been following and haven't even returned home, and he has to give some sweetness after being busy. Then there is the pro-soldier team, with Li Deliang as the team leader and Zhang Zhixing as the team deputy for the time being. Li Deliang is a merchant of medicinal herbs, and he is good at dealing with all kinds of characters, and he will use them for another time in the future.

There are five capitals under his command, and the first and deputy heads are Yang Shouzhen and He Ju, the latter needless to say, is far from being able to do so, but the qualifications are good, and it is a potential stock.

The head of the second capital is Xue Wenqian, and the deputy head is a newly transferred veteran, named Ming Jinrong, who is tall and powerful, and has a lot to fight with Xuan Chongwen, not only good at riding and shooting, but also making a Pu knife very good.

In the last three, all the officers were transferred from the Chengde Army, and there was no formal drill, and Zhang Yue didn't pay much attention to it, and he didn't even look at the roster, anyway, he was not his own person, and he needed some time to test.

At the end of September, the Tokyo Dynasty took Wang Pu, a scholar of the Zhongshu House and a scholar of Hanlin, as the envoy of the edict, and brought more than 30 people to Jizhou to deliver the edict. The gist is: He Fujin, the commander of the Chengde Festival, is loyal and brave, and the captain of the school is inspected, and he is the same as the Pingzhang. Deal with the matter as soon as possible, and see your majesty in the court.

There is another will: Liu Congzhi, the capital of the Longjie army, promoted the deputy capital of the left wing of the Longjie army, Yuhou, and led the history of the Cizhou assassination; He Jiyun, the capital of Chengde Ya, was promoted and transferred to the court, and was awarded the knowledge of the inner hall of the former palace of the palace, and led the history of Puzhou. The rest of the meritorious soldiers can enter the court with the army, and wait for the summons before rewarding their merits.

Zhang Yue is among the rest of the meritorious soldiers, and he has been staying in the barracks to train recruits, which He Jiyun told him. Zhang Yue is very strange, he is the first contributor in this battle, and his will to come down was not awarded an official position, so that he could enter Beijing in vain.

Even if he is rewarded, he is only a middle- and low-level officer, and it should be agreed by the Privy Council, but I don't know what happened, he didn't mention it. Zhang Yue already had the intention of serving the forbidden army, and now He Jiyun gave the inner hall to know it, and Zhang Yue began to flatter him, but He Jiyun turned a blind eye, and he clearly spoke out to solicit before, which made him puzzled, but it was not good to ask more.

On September 28, early in the morning, the army outside Jizhou was divided into two teams, the general of the Cheng German army led 10,000 troops back to Zhenzhou, and Zhang Yue led a newly recruited battalion of soldiers to Tokyo with He Fujin and He Jiyun.

Along the way, Liu Congzhi looked at himself very unkindly, and Zhang Yue understood a little, he already hated himself for daring to love this guy, but he had nothing to worry about, anyway, he wouldn't be under his command, what could I do.

With few troops and no baggage, the march was relatively fast, and in the afternoon after six days, they finally reached the northern suburbs of Tokyo. Received the edict of the Chinese scholars, and the Honglu Temple Qing brought the officials of the Pawn Office to greet here.

When the officials met, they had another greeting, and after resting for half an hour, Liu Congzhi led his four commanders to make a detour to the southeast and went to the camp of the Forbidden Army's Guard Division. He Fujin beckoned Zhang Yue and asked his soldiers to be placed outside the city first. Zhang Yue understood, and only brought a team of personal soldiers such as Zong Jingcheng and Li Deliang to follow He Fujin and his son, and the officials of Honglu Temple led the way into the city.

The blue-gray city walls stand tall in the field, majestic and imposing, and you can't see the end at a glance. At the foot of the castle wall is a moat about several zhang wide, which extends along the castle wall into the distance.

Tokyo! I'm coming! Zhang Yue looked up at the magnificent city tower and shouted wildly in his heart.

"It's your first time in Tokyo, right?" He Jiyun asked with a smile.

"Yes! What's the fun to do and how about pointing? Zhang Yue laughed.

"What a fun place! That's a lot...... Anyway, it's not comparable to a deserted place like Hebei. ”

"Hebei was originally a rich land, is it good to ......"

A few people chatted all the way through the urn city, entered the city gate, and was greeted by a noisy sound, the excitement in the city and the desertion outside the city were in stark contrast, and it felt like a wall apart, it was simply two worlds.
