Yang He was surprised when he heard this: "Do you have to be the first to make meritorious service?" ”

Zhang Shun smiled bitterly: "Without a head, how can the above know that you killed Jianyu?" Therefore, in order to report merit, there must be a head, and someone will be sent to check whether it is really the head of Jianyu. ”

"As long as there is a head of Jianyu, you can repay the merit?" Yang He asked.

Zhang Shun nodded: "As long as you can win the head of Jianyu, even if you lose the battle, the above will give you credit." ”

Hearing this, Yang He pondered for a while and said, "Brother Zhang, do you think you need a few Jianyu heads to be promoted?" ”

"How many heads do you need? Now that the morale of the Ming army is low, and it is urgent to boost morale, as long as I have a captive head, I can be promoted to the general flag, and it is not impossible to even be promoted to a sentry officer. Zhang Shun said.

"Wait, what's the matter with the flag and the sentinel? I don't quite understand. Yang He said busily.

Zhang Shun said with a smile: "I was originally the guard army of Datong, and later transferred to Liaodong, Liaodong implemented the battalion sentry system, I used to be a small banner, the same level as Shi Chang, and I was in charge of ten people, but the low-level officers here were not enough, so I was promoted to captain, and I was in charge of twenty people, which was considered a small promotion." Now if I am promoted, according to the guard system, I should be the general flag and be in charge of 50 people, and if I am promoted to the battalion sentry system, I will be the commander of the sentry and be in charge of 100 people. ”

Yang He couldn't help frowning when he heard this, wondering in his heart how the Ming army had two sets of formations, and how could such a chaotic establishment command a war? However, Yang He would not ask such a stupid question, and the officers of the Ming Dynasty were not fools, they naturally had a way to solve this problem, and Yang He didn't need him to waste his brains, what he wanted to think about now was how to impress Zhang Shun to take him in.

After thinking about it, Yang He thought that it was useless to talk about it again, so it was better to have a showdown with Zhang Shun directly.

Cut a piece of wolf meat with a dagger and handed it to Zhang Shun, Yang He said: "Brother Zhang, let's do it, you accept me as a small soldier in your team, how about I get you two Jianyu's heads?" ”

Zhang Shun's hand couldn't help but shake when he heard this, and the wolf meat he had just received in his hand almost fell.

Looking at Yang He suspiciously, Zhang Shun hurriedly said: "Big brother, don't make such a joke, the battle situation in Liaodong is so erosive, it won't work to kill the good and take the lead." ”

Yang He couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "What did Brother Zhang say, how could I do something to kill good and take credit?" What I'm sending you must be the head of the real Jianju. ”

Zhang Shun was shocked and asked, "Where are you going to kill Jianyu?" ”

Yang He said with a smile: "Where there is Jianyu, go and kill it, didn't you just say that Jianyu went to attack Xiping Fort?" Let's go to Xiping Fort to kill Jianyu. ”

Zhang Shun was shocked: "What are you kidding?" There are 50,000 troops in Xiping Fort, so aren't a few of us going to Xiping Fort to die? ”

Yang He smiled: "What's wrong with the 50,000 army? We are not going to fight against the 50,000 army, we are only looking for a single person, I don't believe that Jianyu is not alone. ”

Zhang Shun shook his head: "I can't call the shots in this matter, I have to wait for the brothers to come back and discuss it, the brothers are so easy to escape, I can't take them into the tiger's mouth again." ”

Yang He smiled and said, "Don't wait, they're already back." ”

Zhang Shun was stunned when he heard this, looked around but didn't see half a figure, and was puzzled, only to hear a slight footstep in the distance.

Zhang Shun was shocked in his heart, turned his eyes to look at Yang He, and said in his heart: "This person's ears and eyes are so smart, no wonder we were so careful just now and were discovered by him." ”

Suddenly, Zhang Shun's mind moved: "This person's forbearance kung fu is also very good, in such a cold day, he can actually lie on the ground and remain motionless, and his skills are very athletic. It's just that if I use the first rank he has won to gain merit, I am afraid that I will never be able to raise my head in front of him again in the future. ”

Zhang Shun hesitated for a while, and suddenly smiled dumbly: "How many people can you hold up in front of how many people in the army?" I'm afraid that an official can scold himself a few words, and this person is not bad. What's more, what is it that he is trying to be a soldier, isn't it just to get a salary to support his family? As long as this person can give credit to himself, what do you care? ”

Zhang Shun thought about it, a group of people hurried back, and seeing that each of these people was carrying a large bundle of wood, Zhang Shun frowned and said, "What are you doing?" Are you planning to live here permanently? I actually chopped so much firewood and came back. ”

The man named Liu Laosi said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, when we were chopping firewood just now, our brothers discussed it and felt that there was no more construction here, so there was no need to go any further, it was better to hide here for a few days, so I cut more firewood and came back." ”

While speaking, everyone unloaded the firewood, and when they saw the firewood piled up like a hill, Zhang Shun shook his head gently.

After thinking about it, Zhang Shun pointed to the wolf's leg on the ground and said, "Let's eat first, and I'll tell you something after eating." ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be a little surprised, and they all looked at Yang He, I don't know what this person said to Brother Zhang just now, Brother Zhang actually doesn't treat himself as an outsider.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Yang He smiled and handed the wolf leg in his hand to the person he had knocked down earlier: "Eat, you're welcome." ”

The man hurriedly took the wolf's leg and said, "Thank you, big brother." ”

When Zhang Shun saw it, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This person is very good at winning people's hearts, and it seems that it won't be long before all his brothers will listen to him.

Seeing everyone sitting down around the fire, Zhang Shun thought about it and said slowly: "Brothers, this brother's name is Yang He, a native of Dengzhou, Shandong, who came to Liaodong with people to buy mountain goods the year before last, and didn't want to be robbed by Jianyu. Brother Yang told me just now that he is penniless and has nowhere to go, and he wants to join us as a soldier. ”

"Ahh When everyone heard this, they looked at each other for a while.

Zhang Shun paused and continued: "What I want to tell you now is that Brother Yang said that he wanted to go back to Xiping Fort to kill Jianyu and make meritorious contributions, I don't know what the brothers mean, if you don't want to go back, I won't force you." ”

Liu Laosi hurriedly said: "Brother Zhang, what are these words, our brothers all listen to you, if you go back, we will naturally follow you." ”

"Wait a minute, now that the 50,000-strong army is besieging Xiping Fort, what can we do when we go back? To put it mildly, it's not enough to stuff Jianyu's teeth, isn't it going back to death at this time? One of them said suddenly.

As this person raised questions, some people immediately began to echo them, and for a while, everyone was gossiping and asking questions. Although everyone didn't say that they wouldn't go back, Yang He could hear that everyone didn't want to go back.

Smiling lightly, Yang He said, "Brothers, let me say a few words." ”

Hearing this, everyone hurriedly stopped saying nothing and looked at Yang He in unison.

Yang He said with a smile: "We went back to Xiping Fort this time, not to fight Jianyu head-on, just like this brother said just now, we can't afford anything if we go, and it's not enough for Jianyu to stuff his teeth."

So what are we going back to do? I tell everyone, go back and sneak attack, sneak attack the lone Jianjiao. Actually, I don't want you to do the sneak attack, I'll do it myself. ”

"So what are we going back to do?" One person wondered.

Yang He smiled: "Because I don't know the way to Xipingbao, I need you to lead the way." Of course, I won't let the brothers run in vain, I just told Brother Zhang, if you kill Jianyu, the credit will be given to Brother Zhang and the brothers. ”

Liu Laosi glanced at Zhang Shun and said, "I'm afraid this is not appropriate, right?" ”

Yang He smiled and said, "What do you think is wrong?" ”

Liu Laosi said in a snort: "It's not appropriate, although the eldest brother is strong in martial arts, but the risk of this matter is too great, if you are not careful, you will ...... There will be a fear for your life. If the eldest brother is lucky, it is also the credit of the eldest brother in exchange for his life, how can we take the credit of the eldest brother? ”

Yang He looked at Liu Laosi and said with a smile: "If you are not careful, you will attract Jianyu, and everyone will have to worry about their lives, right?" ”

Liu Laosi hurriedly said: "I didn't mean that, I, I ......"

Yang He waved his hand and said: "I just said that I will do the sneak attack by myself, after you arrive at Xiping Fort, you just have to find a place to hide, and you don't have to worry about safety at all, if you don't even have this bit of guts, then I have nothing to say." ”

One person hurriedly said: "Since Brother Yang said so, then do what Brother Yang said." ”

Zhang Shun glanced at the man, and then looked at everyone: "Brother Yang has said everything about this, if we don't dare to go back, then it's better to go home and farm as soon as possible!" ”

Everyone hurriedly said: "What Brother Zhang said is true." ”

Zhang Shun nodded, looked at Yang He and said, "I wonder when Brother Yang is going to leave?" ”

Yang He pondered for a while and said, "Brother Zhang, I don't know how far Xiping Fort is from here?" ”

Zhang Shun said: "It's probably more than a hundred miles." ”

Yang He pondered for a moment and said: "That's a day's journey, according to what Brother Zhang said, now Jianyu must have launched an attack on Xiping Fort, and I'm afraid that the strength of Xiping Fort won't last long." I intend to leave tonight, so that I can rush back to Fort Xiping tomorrow, and if the fighting is not over, then I will have a chance to act. ”

"In such a hurry?" Zhang Shun exclaimed.

Yang He smiled: "Then when are you going to wait?" I don't think you have anything to eat, do you want to drink here? ”

Zhang Shun gritted his teeth: "That's okay, brothers, hurry up and eat, and we'll hurry after eating." ”

Zhang Shun made a decision, and everyone was reluctant and didn't dare to say anything, so they picked up knives and parted the wolf's legs, and then chewed on them.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Yang He secretly sighed in his heart.

Yang He knows why these people have such an attitude, these people have lost the battle in the past few years, and Jianyu is probably already a wolf-like existence in their eyes, and he now tells them to behead Jianyu, saying it is like a hand, and no one will believe it. If Yang He hadn't said that he was going to act alone and keep everyone away from Jianyu, these people would not have agreed to return to Xiping Fort at all.

In the final analysis, everyone has just met, they don't know each other at all, and everyone still doesn't trust him. And if he wants to gain the trust of these people, then his first shot must be fired.
