Several county officials who were hiding behind the battlements of the city wall and secretly observing the situation looked at each other at a loss.

Yesterday, the county commander went out of the city to ambush the Yellow Turban Army and brought all the important officials in the city. As a result, in the current single father city, there are only a few small officials left who are not in the stream, and there is not even a chief official who is worth 200 stones. If you really want to calculate it, the current single father city is not only short of soldiers and major generals, but also a group of dragons without a leader, which is really empty to the extreme.

"What should I do?"

"Ahh Where are you going? ”

A county official smiled bitterly and said:

"Now, don't you leave quickly while the Yellow Turban Army is not attacking the city, do you want to stay and be stabbed?"

After saying that, the county official pulled his legs and left. The other county officials glanced at each other a few times, and they also dispersed in a tacit manner.

Yu Ban shouted for a while, and saw that the number of people on the battlements was gradually decreasing, and he expected that the hearts of the people in the city had dispersed, so he immediately asked those newly incorporated subordinates to carry over a simple ladder and lean on the city wall.

Seeing that in this process, no one came forward, even if it was a symbolic arrow to the bottom, Yu Ban was even more sure in his heart, held on to the ladder, "Wow" a few steps, jumped on the city, and shouted:

"I'm Yu Wenze, I'm on the board first!"

When the guards at the head of the city saw Yu Ban ascending the city, they did not come up to block it, but shouted loudly, and the wind dispersed. The soldiers in the back rushed up, and the single father city fell into the hands of the Tianping Army in this way.

"All the armies entering the city must abide by military discipline and must not loot indiscriminately!"

got the first city in his life, and he was arrogant in joy, and he did not forget to emphasize military discipline. These days, through the combination of recalling modern knowledge, reading military books, and personally leading the troops, his level of army management has risen all the way.

Zhang Qi now deeply understands that military discipline is the foundation for an army to ensure its combat effectiveness. If the discipline of the army cannot be grasped, the rabble under his command will never be able to compete with the elite regular Han army.

As for such things as unauthorized robbery, as long as you indulge in a little, you will not be able to keep your mouth shut in the future.

-- Even if it is to plunder, it must be organized, disciplined, step-by-step, and selective. To learn the Germanic chariot, you can't learn the old hairy polar bear.

Zhang Crazy lay on the light bed, thinking with a bad taste.

That night, Wang Guo led his personal army to patrol all night, and sure enough, he caught some black sheep who intended to plunder. In order to appease people's hearts, Zhang Qiang resolutely sold these sad children, severely beheaded, and lightly sentenced to prison for a great deal to the residents of the city.

Sure enough, after these bloody gifts were given, the single father's attitude towards the Tianping Army improved greatly. Although it is not supported, there is also a more cooperative obedience.

As for Yu Ban, with the "Vote for Fame" to conquer the county seat of a single father, the degree of trust in him has reached the basic value. In this way, the word "generation" in front of the name of the forbidden position was smoothly removed.

After more than half a month of long-distance marching, the officers and men of the Tianping Army have accumulated considerable fatigue. The torture wounds suffered by the insolence should also be cultivated. In addition, the replenishment of weapons and the raising of grain and straw are all problems that urgently need to be solved at present. In view of this, the entire Tianping Army temporarily stayed in the Single Father City.

Since the Tianping Army did not besiege the city, most of the large families in the city had fled before the Tianping Army entered the city. For these wealthy and powerful families who fled, they unceremoniously confiscated all the assets they left in the city.

Fortunately, because of the rush of time, most of the big families who fled only took some fine and soft goods with them, and there were a lot of heavy goods such as grain and linen. The legacy of these big families alone made it easy for the Tianping Army to obtain a large amount of income.

He is not afraid of being arrogant in battle, but if he has to be arrogant to carefully count those fragmentary goods, he will not have the leisure to do so. Fortunately, there is a master Chen who is proficient in arithmetic in the team, who is responsible for the logistics and statistics of the Tianping Army. This made the arrogance have a leisurely mood.

Zhang Mad used the spear as a crutch, and under the leadership of Master Chen, he reviewed the harvest of entering the city. Twenty-three large households, a total of more than 6,000 grains, more than 800 horses of various colors, more than 1,370,000 yuan of five baht, more than 4,200 catties of iron, and a number of miscellaneous items.

In the face of these gains, Zhang was overjoyed, collected the blacksmiths in the city of single fathers, and vigorously built weapons; And let the women of the city sew clothes for the army. Of course, these jobs will not be done in vain by the insolence of the people, and they are all paid according to the number of pieces. In this way, the civilians in the city have a good impression of the Tianping Army, and there are more people who come to join the army.

Because of the good mood, for those large families who did not have time to escape, when they came to visit, in fact, to test the attitude of the Tianping Army towards them, he was also kind and pleasant, and asked these large families, according to the amount of their assets, to offer some grain and iron, and gently let them go.

This act, although it can't make the powerful and powerful change their positions, it also somewhat appeases these guys with huge potential, and saves the local tyrants from uniting and jumping out to make trouble with the Tianping Army.

However, with such a beating, Zhang Qi got a harvest of 4,300 grains and 2,000 catties of iron from the nine wealthy and powerful households. There is even a strong family, in order to show goodwill to the arrogance, actually sacrificed two hundred catties of fine "fine iron" to fund the Tianping Army General School to build weapons.

For these two hundred catties of refined iron, Zhang Qi didn't care. However, as soon as the generals under his command heard the news, they immediately ran to Zhang Madness and begged for weapons. Only then did Zhang Qi realize that these fine irons might be some good things, and hurriedly invited a blacksmith to explain it.

After listening to the senior blacksmith's explanation, he looked up to the sky and laughed. Where is this iron? It's obviously a good steel! No, even ordinary steel can't achieve this kind of performance. Zhang Madness searched the memories of later generations and felt that only some special alloy steels could have such good performance!

- No wonder! These guys, it's like flies that smell blood. Sure enough, there was a problem.

―― Such a good thing, even if it is 100,000 yuan, no, 1 million yuan, there should be people who want it, right? How could that Haoqiang be so generous?

-- Bow to others, and you will ask for something. But I don't know......

Sure enough, the next day, the family who offered "fine iron" came to visit again.

"You mean, the Qi family wants to ransom those captives?"

"I'm just bringing a word for the Qi family. Don't hide it from the general, the wife of the third son of my family is the fifth girl of the Qi family. Because of this affection, I will bring this sentence for the Qi family in the future. As for whether the general should or should not, he did not dare to talk much. ”

Although he was a little frightened, the middle-aged man who had already been here once yesterday did not have a stiff expression.

"This matter, you can talk about ......"

Zhang Mad groaned and said:

"Tomorrow, let the Qi family send someone by themselves! The gentleman can do his own thing, but Ben Shuai is going to change the dressing......"

sent away the big messengers, and arrogantly found Wang Guo, Zhou Cang and other henchmen and thought about it.

"Not only can the Qi family let him redeem it, but the captives of the other two families can also do the same. These captives, who are willing to join our army, have already joined. The rest are all owned by a family business, and it is useless to raise them in the army, but a waste of food. ”

Wang Guo analyzed, and everyone had no objections.

"Then, it's up to you to talk to them about this matter. Ziren, you can sing a white face next to you. If you do a good job, Ben Shuai will build you a pair of eighty-pound iron halberds. ”

Hearing that there were twin iron halberds to take, Dian Wei, who was bored, was overjoyed.

"Don't worry, the lord will definitely squeeze out all those powerful oil and water!"

The negotiation went very smoothly, and the representative of the Qi family Haoqiang only bargained with Wang Guo for a while, and then agreed to the conditions of the Tianping Army very happily. Such a speed made Zhang Qiang a little surprised.

"What? They actually agreed? ”

The four hundred and twenty captives of the powerful private soldiers were exchanged for 4,000 pieces of grain, 1,200 horses of cloth, 4 million baht of five baht, 50 pigs, and 50 sheep. Such a price has greatly exceeded the expectations of the generals of the Tianping Army.

"The man said that since most of the strong men under his command were captured, they are now understaffed, and these goods need to be transported by our army itself."

This news made Zhang Qiang have some doubts in his heart. These heroes, aren't they afraid that the Tianping Army will take the opportunity to break through their dock fort?

"Tell them to keep the grain and bring the rest of the goods to the city of the Father of Tan. Our army will send people to transport the grain. ”

Zhang Mad thought about it and commanded like this. When Wang Guo retreated as promised, he immediately asked his soldiers to call He Qian of the scout team to come and give an order.

Haoqiang's movements are fast. A day later, he sent most of the promised goods to the city of single fathers. According to the agreement, the Tianping Army also released half of the prisoners, and sent two teams of non-commissioned soldiers to escort the other half of the prisoners to carry food.

The person who took charge of this grain transportation task was Shen Fu, the head of 100 people. The new commander will be banned, as his assistant, and go on the road together. Both of them were born in the county soldiers, and they have the same background, so their relationship is closer than others.
