At this time, the sky was bright, and several Song generals had seen clearly, this general was only about ten years old, with thin cheeks, eyes like electricity, silhouette like an eagle falcon, iron helmet, black oil armor; Two foxtails dragged behind his head, and he carried a steel spear with a handle as thick as an egg.

One of the generals, Song said: "The enemy's strength is limited, and the signing army on foot cannot escape far, this is a rare opportunity, swing the whole army to fight violently, and you will definitely be able to kill hundreds of heads." ”

Another general said disapprerovingly: "Otherwise, since this general dares to leave the brigade and ride alone behind the palace, he just wants to lure us to the bait, I see the smoke and dust floating in the jungle behind him, faintly murderous, there must be heavy troops, if we boldly attack, we will be ambushed." ”

The five Song generals were hesitating, and suddenly heard someone behind him shouting like thunder: "Don't bother the generals, wait for me to clean him up!" With that, he beat his horse and rushed straight into the middle of the formation. When everyone saw it, it turned out to be the commander of the camp, but because he was tall and fat, he was nicknamed 'Fang Da'er in the army, and his real name was forgotten by people. On weekdays, he is strong and generous, often dominates in the army, and no one dares to provoke him, but today he wants to show his face in front of the two armies, so he dances the big axe and goes straight to Pu San's loyalty.

The two horses only fought for three or five rounds, and Fang Da's fighting spirit had been reduced by half, and he could only parry in a panic, and there was no room to fight back, and even showed flaws several times and almost fell off the horse.

Song Jiang saw that it was not his head, and with a move of the torch in his hand, the Song army of the brigade swarmed up and fought with the five hundred gold army in one place.

Pu Sanzhong slashed a large piece of Fang, and he was not afraid to fight the five generals. Among the five Song generals, some were forced to come up to deal with some errands, but they only measured their posture on the periphery, and they could not pose any threat to Pu Sanzhongyi at all; Although some are known as brave, they can't even exert half of their usual martial arts when they retain their strength to reap the results of battle.

Therefore, it was not particularly difficult for Pu Sanzhongyi to resist the five people, he danced an iron spear through the wind and rain, forcing the five people outside the circle to turn around like a marquee. After about half a meal, I heard a shout from the Houjin army, and when Pu Sanzhongyi, who was fighting, hurriedly peeked at it, a row of iron cavalry was lined up in front of the formation like a big wall.

He knew that the reinforcements of Fushi Lie Zhining had arrived, so he became more and more courageous, and danced the iron spear more vigorously and quickly. At this time, the Song army also found that the enemy had increased a large number of troops, and for a while they didn't know how many reinforcements the other side had come, whether there was an ambush, so they had to issue an order to retreat.

On the way back to the army, I checked and counted it, and only cut a total of seventy-six heads of the Houjin Signing Army, and the Song army died thirteen people in the battle, including a commander.

After many days of planning and desperate fighting, everyone finally got such a result, and everyone felt frustrated, and they didn't know what kind of treatment they would receive under Zhang Jun's command, and they were silent all the way.

The eyeliner sent to Gaoyou had already returned to report to Zhang Jun. When he heard this, he immediately slapped the case and was furious, and declared that he would be severely punished.

The master immediately dissuaded and said: "The top priority at the moment is to rely on the first rank to achieve the first success, so they should be ordered to immediately try to get the first rank, these generals are all brothers and sisters of adults, and they have to rely on five generals to fight against the enemy!" Therefore, it is okay to scare them, but not to the real thing. ”

Zhang Jun thought for a while and said: "Just do as you say, 20 heads per person, and they will be handed over within three days, and those who can't be handed over will be punished with 80 military sticks and fined 1,000 pieces of silver, how about it?" Enough to take care of, right? ”

The master smiled and said: "The control system really has a benevolent mind, but the number is still a little more obvious." Now ask them to get the head, they are in a hurry, someone may make up their minds on the people, once it causes a popular uprising, it will be self-defeating if it reaches Wang Dianshuai, and it is useless to make too much, our army is the first to engage with the gold thief, as long as there are more than 100 levels. Let each of them hand over five heads in three days, so that they can be justified in all aspects, I don't know what the adults want? ”

Zhang Jun sighed for a moment, and said with a very dissatisfied look: "Is it too little?" After so many days of busy work, only a hundred pieces have been made in total, which is too harsh! ”

"It doesn't matter how much? A hundred is the first work, and a thousand is also the first work, why not pick up the one that is both labor-saving and less troublesome. Besides, you can't make the people anxious, and I hope the adults will think twice. ”

Zhang Jun seemed to think of something, and sighed helplessly and said, "Okay! That's it! ”

As soon as the five generals entered the big tent, they felt that the atmosphere was not right, and the guards on both sides were all swords out of their sheaths and stood eyeing each other. Zhang Jun sat in the middle of the lobby, his face like ice.

Sitting on the side, with a compassionate expression. Song Wenjian was frightened in his heart, and as soon as his legs were weak, he knelt down and kowtowed, and the other four generals also knelt down one after another.

"What's going on? Why don't you speak? Zhang Jun's tone was slightly sarcastic.

The generals began to tell the story of the battle, trying to avoid the serious as much as possible, and lightly shirking the blame, saying that the donkey's lips were not in the horse's mouth. You could tell from the voices that they were shaking violently.

"I've been talking about it for a long time, how much have you chopped?!" Zhang Jun snapped.

"Seven... Seventy-six. ”

"Hey, what a cow and let out a little fart." Zhang Jun sneered, "Seven thousand elite soldiers were dispatched, and they fought all night, and they only killed seventy-six levels, which is not enough for a few of you to eat, and you still have the face to come to see me!" ”

"Less than halfway through the battle, they came to the rescue, so ......"

"What's the use of losing troops and destroying our army's prestige? Come on, tie me up and cut it down! Before Zhang Jun's words fell, the guards under the tent responded in unison, and the sound shook the house. A few people came up and tied up the generals without saying anything, dragged them out of the tent, and the five of them burst into tears, crying loudly and begging for mercy.

The surrounding generals knelt down and pleaded: "Lord Commander, this time in the battle of Gaoyou, although only seventy-six heads were killed, but it was also a small victory, the generals also had the merits of bloody battles, the poor heads, let them go and behead again, if the amount is insufficient within the time limit, then they will be punished together, please be extrajudicial to the adults." ”

This kind of way of knocking on the mountain, shaking the tiger, killing the chicken and scaring the monkey was originally thought of by Zhang Jun.

Zhang Jun pretended to think for a while before saying, "Okay! For the time being, Rao Er will not die. Today, the order is limited to five people, and within three days, each of them will hand over one hundred and five heads, and those who cannot pay it within the time limit will not be forgiven. What do you think? Such a request is not difficult for you, is it? ”

Everyone burst into tears and kowtowed again and again.

The five of them discussed in the camp, and someone proposed to kill the good and take the risk.

"This is a great damage to yin morality, whoever does it, it will be difficult to live and dream, and after death, he will be punished to the eighteenth layer of hell, and he will not be able to live forever."

"That is, those of us cling to the teachings of the saints, in fact, it is as common as commonplace to kill good people in the army. I heard that when Zhang was in charge of the system, if he suspected that the number of heads was insufficient, he stayed in the village when he returned to the army, forced the people to take out wine and food to reward the army, and deliberately provoked when he was half drunk, causing the bloody young people in the village to come forward to confront him, so as to provoke trouble, take the opportunity to draw knives and slaughter, and use the heads of the young and middle-aged people in the village to take the merits, and finally framed the villagers for rebellion. That's why the folk song at that time said: 'I'm not afraid that it won't rain all year round, I'm afraid that the soldiers who are at ease will stay overnight.'" 'What? Isn't Zhang Jun still a wife and a son, and he is still honored. ”

"Yes, yes, under the command of Zhang Tong, he is the best at fish and meat people, he is happy every day, and he is known as the free army."

The people decided to wash a few villages and get heads. I did what I said I would do, and I did it that night. The five of them led their own soldiers, and in the middle of the night, they touched into a small village called Pulaotun, and dozens of broken thatched huts were curled up in a wedge-shaped mountain col. In the second half of the night, the wind rose, and thick clouds rose in the sky, and the earth seemed to be locked in a cauldron, dark as paint. In this dark night, where you can't see your fingers, a catastrophe that exterminates humanity has quietly descended on this sleeping village in the north.

The five members of the Song Dynasty will first arrange for people to strictly control all the exits in the village, and then raid from house to house, break through the firewood and the door to break into the house, and take away all the men in the family. The barking of dogs and the frightened cries of children echoed uneasily in the night, and the men were dragged to a threshing floor at the head of the village, huddled together in the cold wind.

The leading general stood in front of the crowd and announced: "Don't be afraid, we are under the command of Lord Han Shizhong, we are ordered to do military affairs, and we need some people to help carry something, we need fifty, as long as we are young and middle-aged, we will come back after the transportation is completed." With that, he held a white gauze lantern in his hand and shone it on people's faces one by one.

Fifty people were chosen, and the rest of the old and young were allowed to go home and sleep. Fifty young men were dragged to the river bank in a long string with a small hemp rope, slashed and killed, cut off their heads and took them away, and threw all their bodies into the muddy river and drifted away with the water.

Three days later, the five generals handed over their heads to the commander's tent, and Zhang Jun got another two hundred heads out of nowhere.

The first stage is transported back and concentrated in one place, and it has to be modified. It was an absolutely remote and secluded courtyard, and the participants were the most intimate among Zhang Jun's personal soldiers.

In the warm sunlight of late winter, while singing obscene slang songs, they slowly and methodically disguised the heads of these Han people, opened their hair, shaved off the front half like the Jurchens, and then combed a rattail braid on the back of their heads, with patience and meticulousness, like a craftsman making a work of art. And the modified head makes it difficult for ordinary people to distinguish the authenticity.

After finishing the first level, Zhang Jun reported to Wang Yu and Huang Qianshan: "In the first battle of Gaoyou, he burned the grain and grass of the Jin soldiers, beheaded more than 300 levels, and won a great victory. ”

Since Wang Yu took over all the military affairs, Huang Qianshan was happy to have nothing to do with the feast every day, and the military letter of Zhang Junjia's great victory at Muhu came, and then three hundred and ten heads arrived at the shogunate.

Huang Qianshan was really overjoyed, and after he read the good news on the spot, he called the person who escorted the head to the front to ask in person.

Gaoyou's unprecedented victory, coupled with the infection caused by Huang Qianshan's attitude, made everyone at the banquet excited.
