The meteor hammer used by Bian Xi weighed no more than five catties and was slightly larger than a fist, connected by a nine-foot-long iron chain. Usually, the meteor hammer is wrapped around Bian Xi's arm, caged in his sleeve, and is not known. However, at a critical moment, as soon as the Meteor Hammer is shot, it can decide the outcome of the first battle!

As a battle-hardened veteran, as soon as the two sides turned their faces, Zhang Yang's eyes paid special attention to the saber on Bian Xi's waist. However, who would have thought that Bian Xi's shot would not be a saber, but a hidden weapon?

When the meteor hammer flew three feet away like a meteor and came to Zhang Yang's face, Zhang Yang was drawing his sword.

Zhang Yang has practiced swordsmanship. Although he is not like some perverted martial artists, who must draw their swords more than 500 times a day, Zhang Yang's martial arts cultivation can be done, and the speed at which he draws his swords is definitely comparable to that of an excellent swordsman.

However, the speed of the meteor hammer can make Zhang Yang unable to pull out the sword!

Faced with the avoidable meteor hammer, Zhang Yang could only give up drawing his sword. Between the calcium carbide firelight, he urgently put his body to the side and erected his sword scabbard on the line attacked by the meteor hammer, and took this move.

"Boom!"

After a sound, Bian Xi shook his wrist and withdrew the meteor hammer. But seeing that the sword on Zhang Yang's waist was obviously bent into an angle with the sheath, most of them could not be pulled out again. But if Zhang Yang hadn't blocked this blow with a sword, he was afraid that a few ribs on his waist would have been broken, and most of them would have fallen to the ground and couldn't get up!

"Bian Xi! You shameless thief! ”

Zhang Yang, who survived, was like a lit pyre, and the anger in his heart was like a lit pyre, blazing. But looking around, Zhang Yang, who was isolated and helpless, understood that this time he was probably going to suffer!

At this moment, he only hated himself, why did he have a solid experience from the past. I believed Bian Xi's explanation so easily, but I couldn't see through this bureaucracy's sinister intentions earlier and take it down in advance!

"General Zhang, I see, it's better for you to be quiet."

One blow eliminated Zhang Yang's weapon, and Bian Xi stood aside. Satisfied to see dozens of cronies and soldiers holding knives and guns, surrounding Zhang Yangtuan, then said unhurriedly.

"Actually, how could I want to deal with you, General? It's just that the current situation is not good, and I want to find a way to live for my brothers, so I have to grieve General Zhang. ”

Regarding Bian Xi's words, Zhang Yang naturally scoffed. It's just that he doesn't have a suitable weapon in his hand now, and he is surrounded by many soldiers. It can be described as a desperate situation. Even if you want to fight with others, most of the results are just giving away your life in vain.

Bian Xi, who was behind the toilet soldiers, commanded his subordinates to form a formation and stepped forward, and persuaded him:

"General Zhang, you are a good person. I don't want to hurt you anymore. If you don't do it, I swear I won't touch a finger of you. ”

As he spoke, Bian Xi pointed to the five Zhang Yang guards who were captured next to him. To continue:

"General Zhang, if you do it. After a while, the knife and gun will have no eyes, and I am afraid that it will hurt you. If something happens to you, these useless guards should be beheaded according to military law! I want to enforce military law with these wastes, so that everyone knows how powerful military law is! ”

These words inevitably mean that Zhang Yang's guards are taken hostages. But Zhang Yang listened to these words. After just a little thought, he threw down the deformed scabbard in his hand with a pale face, and grabbed it. And Bian Xi didn't want to abuse Zhang Yang, so he "invited" him to a well-equipped tent to rest.

Next, Bian Xi just asked his four cronies who were the best at hand-to-hand combat. He followed Zhang Yang closely, and arranged a full fifty elite soldiers around him as guards. There are also two cronies who were arranged by Zhang Yang's side, acting as handymen and serving his food and daily life. Such treatment can only be called house arrest, not captivity.

After placing Zhang Yang, next, Bian Xi immediately repaired a letter and sent it to the Taixing army, expressing his intention to surrender. Yu Ban, who received the letter, did not dare to slack off, and while sending the letter to the main general Zhang Qiang, he mobilized troops and horses to prepare to respond to Bian Xi's surrender. Of course, secretly arranging some troops to prevent Bian Xi from being deceived was also something that Yu Ban thought of in advance.

When he got the letter, he was riding his horse on his way to the battlefield.

"Mr. White Rabbit this time, but he has made a great contribution again!"

After reading the letter, Zhang smiled and smiled at the chief guard beside him. Since he started the army, the chief of the guard around him doesn't know how many times he has changed. Starting from Han Dang, almost every captain of the guard later became a fierce general in the Taixing Army. This also gave an impression to the soldiers in the Taixing Army, that is, the chief of the guard beside Zhang Qiang, but only a fierce general was qualified to serve.

Since the previous chief of the guard, Zhao Yun, was placed in Lejin's "Zhenbei Camp" by Zhang Mad to serve, the new chief of the guard is another brother-in-law of Zhang Mad . When I heard the name of this brother-in-law for the first time, I was very surprised. Because of the name of this brother-in-law, in the era before the insolence of the crossing, it can be described as a household name of a generation of classic screen images.

Guo Jing.

This is Mrs. Guo's son, Guo Fu's brother, and arrogant brother-in-law.

Of course, an accidental duplicate name does not make the arrogance care too much. He is now also a prince, and in terms of the overall strength of the forces, when he can rank among the top ten in the world, he will naturally not be as shocked as before. And this brother-in-law with the word "broken" is the same as Guo Daxia in later novels, that is, the same name.

This Guo Jing neither knows how to "descend the dragon and eighteen palms", nor does he have a good relationship called "Huang Rong". After his sister Guo Fu married into the Zhang family, she set a family affair for her younger brother, and the other party was the daughter of Ma Yiyuan, a veteran of Taiping Dao. In this way, after Guo Tai handed over the rights of Baibo Valley, the Guo family quickly and smoothly integrated into the core lineage of the Taixing Army, and the future was quite bright.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yang ended up like this. My father has a high opinion of this Uncle Zhang Zhi. ”

is different from Guo Daxia, this Guo Jing's tongue is still very convenient. Of course, that's compared to ordinary people, not by the standards of the Zonghengjia.

"Uncle Zhang Zhi this time, in fact, he didn't lose at all."

Zhang Mad took his brother-in-law with him, hoping that he could learn more about the military family when he followed him, so as to accumulate experience for leading the army in the future.

His previous brother-in-law, Zhao Yun, the chief of the guard, because of his poor performance in the battle against Yan Liyou, only knew that he relied on his personal courage to rush vigorously, and as a result, he threw aside hundreds of cavalry under his command, and was scolded by Zhang Yan fiercely after the battle.

Subsequently, Zhang Qi took the young Zhao Yun with him and read the military book for several months, so that Zhao Yun, who had a much more stable temperament, was sent out to serve as the commander of the cavalry under Le Jin. And Zhao Yun, who had learned the lessons of the first battle, behaved steadily enough in the next battle with King Xianbei and Lian, and his command ability has greatly improved.

With such a performance, Zhang Qi gave Zhao Yun a position of a thousand cavalry commanders in the recent expansion of the whole army.

This is true for Zhao Yun, and for Guo Jing, Zhang is also going to be like this. Guo Jing's martial arts, after being arrogantly "pointed", reached the level of "Thousand People Broken", which was enough to protect himself on the battlefield. Next, it is the process of cultivating his military knowledge by insolence. This process will not be too short, and the more Guo Jing can learn, the more it will help Zhang Qi in the future.

After all, this is in the late Han Dynasty, and the interpersonal relationships in society are quite particular about the ties of relatives, township parties, and friends. People who are related by blood are naturally more trustworthy than people who have no relatives and no cause. And the great stakes of both prosperity and loss are at stake, and this kind of group composed of relatives has created a strong cohesion.

For Zhang Mao, the clansmen who were born in the Julu Zhang clan and his wife are naturally reliable helpers who cannot be betrayed. As for Zang Ba, Yu Ban, Le Jin and others, in the case of accepting the grace of Zhang Qiang's "ignition", their reliability is roughly close to the level of the Zhang clan. If the situation becomes very unfavorable, these foreigners may not always be as loyal as they are now.

Therefore, cultivating a group of capable relatives is the key to whether the regime created by the arrogant can be maintained stably. In this regard, Cao Cao's side Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Xiu and Zhu Xiahou are the best examples.

Seeing that Guo Jing still didn't understand the reason for Zhang Yang's final ending, Zhang Qi had to explain in more detail:

"Uncle Zhang Zhi is a very good person. It's just that his failure this time is that he is too loyal and kind. ”

When Guo Jing heard this, he stared at Zhang Crazy in surprise, and he was very rude for a while. When Zhang Mad saw it, he didn't care too much, just coughed, woke up Guo Jing, and continued:

"The requirements for being a minister are very different from those of a king. Uncle Zhang Zhi is an old-fashioned and warm-hearted person, and it is quite a pleasure to be friends with him. However, as a prince, Uncle Zhang Zhi's royal majesty was too lenient, and when he got the news that his subordinates had rebelled, he actually just called that person to persuade him, and then he didn't deal with it anymore. ”

"How could there be such a thing?"

Guo Jing was naturally surprised. He couldn't figure out how Zhang Yang could deal with a rebellious subordinate like this?

"Not only is he generous to his subordinates, but Uncle Zhang Zhi is also too generous to the heroes in the county. He regarded the heroes in the county as a friend, and tried his best to satisfy their requests, but in the end, he managed to occupy the land of Shangdang County, and it was quite difficult to raise 3,000 soldiers. This time, he sent troops to the north, and many of them were pushed by Haoqiang. ”

"The military orders are not strict, the government orders are not good, and Uncle Zhang Zhi, as a prince of a town, must be inactive. It's a pity that a generation of good generals didn't put themselves in the right position, and today's failure is also reasonable. ”

"So ......"

Zhang Qiang immediately concluded:

"Even if Uncle Zhang Zhi is not defeated in the hands of our army, he will definitely be overthrown by ambitious subordinates in the future because his majesty has no way. And falling into the hands of our army, in fact, Uncle Zhang Zhi was lucky. You must know that there are few princes in this world like me who can tolerate Uncle Zhang Zhi to lead the troops again!
