Chapter 10: The Northland Change

The black leopard did a lot of evil and was directly killed by Zhang Cheng, as for Wang Hu and Han Wenyuan, Zhang Cheng did not move them, invited the two to the county government of Lingxian County, and knelt in front of Zhang Cheng under the escort of the guards, Wang Hu was quite unconvinced in his heart, but Han Wenyuan straightened up and looked at Zhang Cheng.

Looking left and right, Zhang Cheng walked down, came to Han Wenyuan's side, untied his rope, and said to Han Wenyuan: "Mr. Han, I didn't expect that after a few years, we will meet again." To tell the truth, when I was in Dangshan, I admired your wisdom and strategy, and now I want to invite you to plan for the next plan, I am afraid that you think this temple is too small, and you are not willing to bend and stretch low! ”

Seeing what Zhang Cheng said, every sentence was sincere, and his heart was also moved, he was a cloth cloth, and he did all the bad things for the black leopard, and the other party, a general who moved the world, actually committed himself to begging for himself, he was also sincerely afraid, besides, for so many years, he has been used to wandering days, seeing that he is already in his thirties, he is not willing to drift, serve the government, and be a peaceful person, why not. Thinking of this, he hurriedly knelt down again, and said cautiously: "I am a cloth cloth in the next place, and I am grateful to the general who can afford to be in the bottom, and I am willing to do my best to serve you as a dog and horse." ”

"Okay, good, great, with Mr. Han's help, you will be able to get like a fish in water. From today onwards, you can follow me. How about being my staff? Zhang Cheng helped him up and said.

"Thank you, General!" Han Wenyuan thanked him.

Walking to Wang Hu's side, Zhang Cheng squatted down and said to him: "Wang Hu, I will give you two ways, first, you follow me, you can still lead your brothers to live a good life; Second, behead the public! ”

"Hmph, needless to say, even if you die, my Wang Hu will never follow you! Kill me! Wang Hu said in a rough voice.

"Good! Sure enough, it's a temperament! Zhang Cheng personally untied him, helped him up, and said to him: "Okay, since you are so loyal to Lin Leopard, I have nothing to say, you can go." I don't embarrass you. Wang Hu was loosely tied, he pinched his wrist, and was a little surprised when he heard the other party say that he was going to let himself go, and he asked in disbelief: "You, did you really let me go?" ”

"Naturally! I, Zhang Cheng, do what I say. Let's go. Zhang Cheng pointed to the county government and said. When Wang Hu saw this, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Of course, you can also not leave, I am the land of the five counties of the Northland County, you can live with confidence. Have a house and land, be a common man! Zhang Cheng finally said.

"Hmph, don't worry, I will never stay on your territory." As he spoke, Wang Hu strode out of the county office. Han Wenyuan hurriedly said, "General, I'll go and persuade him." ”

Zhang Cheng nodded, took out a token, handed it to him and said, "If he is willing to come back, you ask him to take this token to Gyeongju to find a general named Sedum." Han Wenyuan nodded and hurriedly chased out.

Out of the county office, Han Wenyuan hurriedly chased after Wang Hu, pulled him and persuaded him: "Third brother, third brother." Where are you going? ”

"Hmph, second brother, I really didn't expect that the eldest brother had just died, and you turned to the enemy. Hmph, you really made me mistaken, brother! Wang Hu said angrily.

"Humph! Eldest brother? Have you forgotten what the panther did to me in the first place? More than ten years ago, when the black leopard had just fallen into the grass, when the barbarian dog invaded, he pretended to be a brute dog, plundered Hugang, and killed all the people of more than 100 households in Hugang. At that time, when they saw me in Hugang, they thought that I had some talent, so they forcibly escorted me back to the cottage. But he didn't know that among the more than 100 families he killed in Hugang, there were my wives and children. Han Wenyuan gritted his teeth, tears couldn't stop flowing down, Wang Hu was also shocked when he heard this, he never knew about it. But I was relieved to think that I was also forcibly taken up the mountain by a black leopard.

"Hmph, third brother, you know how you got up the mountain, I don't want to say more. What benefits have we gained from working hard for him over the years? It is we who are charging into battle, and it is he who enjoys the success. If we hadn't worked for him, he would be where he is today? Today, he ended up in a different place, and he was to blame! I only hate, I didn't kill him with my own hands! ”

Han Wenyuan's fingers sank into his palm, and he looked at Wang Hu again, and he said, "I have already repaid the kindness of the black leopard." After so many years of working as a rogue, I am tired and do not want to run away anymore. I know that you have always had the ambition to join the army, why not follow the world's famous generals to gallop on the battlefield! ”

Han Wenyuan's words made Wang Hu calm down, he felt that Han Wenyuan was right, but at this moment he couldn't pull his face, tiptoeing, and was in a dilemma. Han Wenyuan has been with Wang Hu for many years, and when he saw his action, he knew that he had been moved by his own words, Han Wenyuan said: "Third brother, you don't have to worry. General Zhang gave me a token, and he told me that as long as you are willing to follow the general, I will give you this token. ”

Seeing a palm-sized token, Wang Hu took it, looked left and right, and asked puzzledly: "This thing, there is, what's the use?" ”

"Hey, this thing is very useful! Did you see that? There is a command on the top, but the words General Yun Lu are engraved on the bottom? This is a token from the Sanpin general! Han Wenyuan said.

"I, my brain is still not good, I still don't understand what you mean." Wang Hu looked left and right at the token, and he didn't know why.

"I'm not done yet. What are you looking for in a hurry. The general said, you take this token and go to Gyeongju to find a general named Sedum, I guess I will let you go there to be a soldier! The general has long thought that you may be embarrassed, so there is this section. The general is far-sighted! Han Wenyuan said.

"Really! That's great! Then, I'll go to Gyeongju now! Wang Hu said, and took the token to leave. Han Wenyuan pulled him, found him a horse, and let Wang Hu leave.

After dealing with this matter, Zhang Cheng took Boss Zhang and other personal guards to the residence of Ye Feng and Ye Hexuan in the backyard of the county government.

Seeing a team of guards in armor breaking in, Ye Hexuan was taken aback, he who was originally sitting on the chair, quickly stood up and took a step back, Ye Feng was also taken aback, and ran to Ye Hexuan to block in front of him. It can be seen that it is Zhang Cheng and other people from Zhangjia Village, and half of the original hanging heart has also fallen.

"Zhang Cheng! You, what do you want to do with so many people? Ye Feng said with some fear.

Zhang Cheng came to Ye Feng, and he said with a pleasant face: "Everyone is from Zhangjia Village, so naturally I won't take the people of Zhangjia Village?" Don't worry, I'm here to tell you that no matter what you do, you're safe, go home! I will return your title deed to you! ”

"What you said is true?" When Ye Feng heard this, he was surprised and delighted.

"Of course it's true, now you can go back!" Zhang Cheng pointed to the door and said.

Ye Feng hurriedly took Ye Hexuan and his family and left Ling County.

Immediately after, Zhang Cheng took the guards to the backyard where other villagers in Zhangjia Village lived, and everyone was shocked when they saw a team of sergeants rushing in.

But when I saw that the people who came were all from Zhangjia Village before, the people of Zhangjia Village were relieved one by one. Most of these people were related to the members of the pro-guards, and they were all very happy to meet one by one, and the pro-guards were also overjoyed when they saw their relatives, but they were not in a hurry to recognize their relatives.

One by one, when they saw that the guards were solemn, they were all a little scared, and hurriedly kowtowed to Zhang Cheng, "Meet the county guard!" ”

"Come on! What are you doing here? It's all uncles and uncles, how dare I bear your bow! Hurry up! Zhang Cheng said.

"I, Zhang Cheng, am from Zhangjia Village, no matter where I go or how big an official I am, I will always be from Zhangjia Village. Now that I am a county guard, I will be good to Zhangjiacun wholeheartedly. Don't worry! I won't deal with our Zhangjia villagers! Rest assured, everyone! ”

Hearing Zhang Cheng say this, everyone's hearts were settled. They all stood up and waited for Zhang Cheng to speak. Zhang Cheng was not ambiguous, he said: "Everyone will go home in a while, and I will let people rebuild your home." Everyone go back and live well, I will arrange a competent county order to help everyone well, open up wasteland, and rebuild your home! ”

"Thank you, Lord Gunjo!" Everyone kowtowed again, thanks to Zhang Cheng.

He personally took the people of Zhangjia Village back to Zhangjia Village, brought up all the good wine and food, set up a banquet in the county office, and invited more than 500 villagers in Zhangjia Village to eat. He also talked to everyone about the past, talked about a lot of past things, and sang and danced to celebrate.

After that, Zhang Cheng and the guards also helped the villagers of Zhangjia Village, built houses, and reclaimed barren land, although it is now July and August, the cultivation season has long passed, but seeing that each family has its own field, and their own fields have been reclaimed by the county guard, not to mention how happy.

In this regard, they were convinced by the new county keeper, the silly boy of Zhangjia Village, and everyone was happy from the bottom of their hearts.

After staying in Zhangjia Village for a month, it was not until September that Zhang Cheng took Yang Wenzhao and Zhang Boss and others to Xiyang County.

From Yanping County, Jiawei County, Qu County and finally to Xiyang County, along the way, there are golden ears of wheat everywhere, and countless corn stalks growing in the ground, which is so pleasing to the eye. And there were many people in the field who were reaping ears of wheat and corn. The faces of the people were full of happiness and joy.

"Well, I can't imagine it, I've only been away for more than half a year, and Mr. Yang has already built Northland County into such a scene, it's really amazing!" Zhang Cheng exclaimed.

Fan Zhong doesn't like to talk on weekdays, but at the moment he said sincerely: "It's not." Since you left, Lord Yang has been exhausted, going back and forth to various counties every day to investigate, running around, but he is busy enough! ”

Yang Wenzhao waved his hand and said humbly: "Where, I don't dare to take credit in the Xia, if it weren't for the assistance of several generals, I wouldn't have my current achievements." ”

"Oh? Listening to Mr. Yang say this, it seems that you have gained a lot in the past half a year! Zhang Cheng said.

Yang Wenzhao rode on the horse, tugged on the reins of the horse, and said with a smile: "Hehe, it's not a big gain, that's it, after you left, I have successively selected the county order, the county order, the main book, and the general framework from the people who poured in from each county." The important thing is that we now have 150,000 people in Beidi County! The most important thing is that in the horse farm outside Zhenxiong Pass, we got five or six thousand people sent by the patriarch of Gutel in the Yunyan grassland; Not long ago, two thousand warlike horses were sent to the horse farm, and our own horse breed also gave birth to a thousand young horses, all of which grew well under the careful cultivation of the horse breeder. Moreover, he also collected thousands of fine leather goods from other tribes in the grassland! But with such a large amount of goods, according to our previous agreement with Patriarch Gutel, we now owe him a lot of money! ”

After Yang Wenzhao finished speaking, he frowned again and said: "However, the Patriarch of Gutel also brought a bad news, the King of the Grassland didn't know where to get the news, and knew that Gustel was transporting horses and people to us, so he was furious, and he planned to raise troops to fight several times, but due to the internal battles in the grassland, he couldn't spare his hands, but he had already ordered to reprimand the Patriarch Gutel three times. ”

"Well, that's bad news. No matter, let's go back to Xiyang County first. When Zhang Cheng heard this, he also frowned.

Everyone rushed back to Xiyang County.

After returning to Xiyang County, the grain and grass goods sent by Huo Han to escort were also delivered. 5,000 baskets of tea and 10,000 stone of grain, and 10,000 stone of coarse salt. Zhang Cheng said to Qi Tian: "In this way, don't we owe Gutel a lot of silver, if you send him these five thousand baskets of tea, how can you offset his money!" ”

"In addition, Han Wenyuan, I have assigned you an errand, if you do this errand well, I will hand over a bigger task to you in the future." Zhang Cheng said.

"Please give the general's orders, his subordinates will not hesitate to go to the soup and fire!" Han Wenyuan said sincerely.

Zhang Cheng took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Han Wenyuan and said, "Okay! You go to Gyeongju, find General Huo Han, and give him this letter. He'll tell you exactly what to do! ”

After putting the letter away, Han Wenyuan said: "The general can rest assured, his subordinates will be smeared with their hearts and minds and share their worries for the general!" After saying goodbye, he turned and left.

Immediately after, Zhang Cheng said to Yang Wenzhao again: "See, the situation in the world has changed, in this world, in a few years at most, Liu Tang in the west will be taken over by the Zhao family, if the situation changes, turn around, Zhao Hui will clean us up." So, prepare for a rainy day! ”

Yang Wenzhao nodded, and he said, "Yes." The Lord has made great achievements for the Zhao family in the world, and has mastered so many forces, I am afraid that it will be the Zhao family when the time comes, and he will also be worried. We have to leave a way out for ourselves! ”

"Well, I've decided, from now on, we're going to get moving!" Zhang Cheng slapped the table and said.
