"Wait!" Manager Zhao suddenly shouted.

Zhang Du didn't reply, and said coldly: "What else do you have any advice?" ”

Manager Zhao walked out from behind the case, came over to hold his hand, and said with a smile on his face: "You and I share heavy responsibilities, lead the army together, have meritorious service and rewards, and have the same punishment, so we should work together." If there is a rift between you and me, then the defeat is decided. A certain person was speechless for a while, and asked Brother Zhang not to be surprised! ”

Zhang Dujian sneered in his heart, what a "meritorious service is rewarded, and there is a common punishment"!

You and other civil officials, sitting firmly in the middle tent, or high in the rear, can compete for merit and profit, that is, they all step forward bravely and unscrupulously. Just look at the mouth and write, and the credit of ten percent can become fifteen percent of the credit, and then fall into one's own mouth of twelve percent. The remaining thirty percent is the turn of those of us who are desperate to die and rush to kill the military attachés in front!

But if there is, hehe, you and other civil officials are running away one by one, and they are afraid to avoid it. If you talk about it again and write it with a pen, ten percent of the mistakes can become forty percent, of which three percent of the mistakes are those of us who sacrifice their lives and forget their deaths, shed blood and sweat, and at most one percent will be your turn as civil officials. That's all good. If you encounter a ruthless person again, then one success will become three successes. As for whether it is wrong, what is the matter with Guan Wenguan? It's all the military attaché's fault!

"There is a reward for merit, and there is a punishment for it", when did I have this thing in the Song Dynasty?

But because of this, Zhang Dujian didn't dare to really turn his face. Although Chief Zhao is now a military officer, he can be born as a civil official. It is not enough to charge into battle, and the ability to eliminate dissidents, form gangs, play tricks, and engage in conspiracies will let everyone see the truth as soon as they take office. If you really leave today, you will suffer from it in the future, and you will eat it to heaven.

So he borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and Zhang Dujian sat back.

Manager Zhao personally poured a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, I have thousands of elite soldiers under my command, although I am the one who leads the army, but most of the soldiers are from the forbidden army of Chengdu Mansion, so this time, you and I have to work with one heart and one mind!" ”

I see! No wonder this birdman actually whispered to a "martial artist" like me.

There are a lot of nominal forbidden soldiers, box soldiers, and native soldiers on Chengdu Fulu, but other state capitals eat empty salaries so badly, and there are no three out of ten soldiers. It's these people who are pulled over, in fact, most of them are ruffians, and they can't be used at all. Only Chengdu Prefecture is under the jurisdiction of Zhang Dujian, and there are six out of ten available soldiers. Therefore, 80% of the people who can be used in this dispatch are from Zhang Dujian's banner.

With disdain in his heart, Zhang Dujian said with a smile: "Just now, the last general was impulsive, and he almost missed a big event." The last general has been in the army for a long time, and this temper makes the adults laugh! ”

Manager Zhao smiled: "Whereever, I like Brother Zhang's straight nature." ”

So the two of them were hello and I was good for a while, and they thought that what had just happened had not happened.

After chatting for a while, Manager Zhao said: "Brother Zhang, this time the soldiers are besieging Qingcheng, according to the law, the military tent should be set up outside the city. But then Li Zhi County not only vacated the private houses, but also gave the county government to you and me. Do you know why? ”

Zhang Dujian smiled: "Naturally, it is the face of adults." ”

Manager Zhao smiled mysteriously: "A certain face is some, but no matter how much he can't be Li Zhixian, he will bear the infamy of the city." Let's go through the bottom with Brother Zhang, after Brother Zhang knows it in his heart, he will naturally know why he swears to win it this time. ”

As he spoke, Manager Zhao took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhang Dujian.

Zhang Dujian opened it and saw that this letter was not ordinary, but the final payment made him involuntarily shocked.

He was silent for a moment, then sighed, "I see! ”

Mr. Zhao smiled: "That's right! The person who wants to detain Xu Buer, Xu Ruoxue's death, and Zhang Tianyi's death is not him! ”

"Today, I am the Great Song Dynasty, and I am the Son of Heaven. But in the court, it is this person who really dominates the court! ”

As he spoke, Manager Zhao stood up, walked around the room, and said excitedly: "What if the strength of the Qingcheng Sword Sect is strong?" You need to know that it is this lord who is playing against them. And behind this adult, is the entire Great Song! The power of one faction against the power of one country, this battle, Qingcheng will lose! ”

"So this time, you and I just have to do it. Something else, heh, was poked a hole this day, and some people will fill this hole! ”

"Brother Zhang, how can you and I miss such a good opportunity? If this thing is done well, will the promotion and fortune be tomorrow? ”

"In life, you can get a few times to get a doctorate. Brother Zhang, if you don't do it at this time, when will you wait! ”

Zhang Dujian thought for a while, and finally nodded.

Seeing that he agreed, Manager Zhao laughed: "A certain has passed on the Qingcheng Sword Sect, stating that at the latest, you must agree to a certain condition." Otherwise, tomorrow, a certain marshal army will go to Qingcheng and kill him without leaving a chicken dog! ”

"Brother Zhang is waiting here, waiting for Xu Buer to come and ask for the guilt!"

Mr. Zhao said proudly, but unexpectedly, for half an hour, no one came, and Mr. Zhao laughed self-deprecatingly.

An hour later, no one came, and Manager Zhao frowned and said nothing.

Two hours later, no one came, and Manager Zhao's face turned pale.

At all times, no one came, Mr. Zhao was so angry that he trembled, and said hatefully: "Good, good, what a stubborn man!" ”

Seeing Manager Zhao leave angrily, Zhang Dujian was silent for a while, and sighed to the sky: "Lord Steward, if a hole is stabbed this day, maybe someone will really fill it." ”

"But if the sky turns upside down, the first one to die will be you and me!"

Day 2.

Flags flutter and trumpets sound.

Thousands of officers and soldiers advanced one after another and marched to Qingcheng.

I set out at the hour and did not enter the mountain gate until noon. The mountain road, which was half an hour smaller, was walked by the officers and soldiers for an hour and a half.

Finally got up the mountain, and General Manager Zhao urged his soldiers to immediately wave their flags and shout, and prepare to attack.

But all the generals complained in unison, only saying that lunch time had come, and that they had been rushing for most of the mountain road, and their subordinates were tired and hungry, and they didn't eat enough, and they had a good rest, how could they fight?

Chief Zhao was furious and personally went to the front of the battle to urge. Unexpectedly, as soon as he explained his identity, all the soldiers were in an uproar.

This one said: "I only said that I would stay in the mountains for two nights, and there would be no war." Now it's asking me to wait for the real knife to fight, isn't this a lie? If you want to lie to me and die, there is no door. ”

The other said, "Hmph, at that time, it was only said that after three days of marching, I would give eight pieces of silver, and I would have enough to eat." But in the past three days, I have eaten worse than pigs, and lived worse than dogs. Not to mention, now I have to wait to go to war. Fighting a war is to kill people, not to mention eight taels of silver, it is eighty taels of silver, and I won't do it grandpa. ”

Another said: "A certain person from Chengdu Mansion, and the people living on this mountain are all chivalrous." With them, no one dares to bully us poor people. Those knights are good people, why kill them? Bad people don't kill good people, we don't look like officials but like bandits. Don't do this! ”

Someone else said: "Everyone in Sichuan Road knows that the swordsmen on Qingcheng Mountain are strong in martial arts, and they are all one against a thousand. There are thousands of swordsmen on this mountain, and if we go up, none of them will need two swords to kill us all. Lao Tzu doesn't do such a thing of sending him to death, he would rather be a deserter! ”

For a while, the crowd was indignant, and the cries of "go back, go back", "go, go, go", and "run away" were endless.

Manager Zhao was dumbfounded, and he was at a loss for a while. The conscience of heaven and earth, he is here to boost morale, but look at this situation, I will go! Before this battle has even started, the soldiers are about to disperse!

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Zhang Dujian arrived. He had a very high prestige among the forbidden soldiers in Chengdu Prefecture, and with him in front of him, the military heart was reluctantly settled.

At this time, Manager Zhao didn't dare to say anything "Ming Jin immediately", and obediently ordered to go down, even if there is good food, the food will be full.

After returning to the Chinese army, he was originally full of confidence, thinking that as long as he waved his big hand, the army of thousands of tigers and wolves would immediately roar and press on, crushing the "anti-thief" on the opposite side.

Even if he doesn't know how to fight, he knows that if he leads this group of rabble to fight with that group of masters of the rivers and lakes, nine out of nine, I am afraid that he will lose ugly.

Helpless, he had to consult Zhang Dujian.

Zhang Dujian replied: "The last general said that if there is a real life-and-death duel, we will wait for these thousands of troops, and we are really not the opponent of hundreds of Qingcheng swordsmen. But this matter is actually simple to solve. ”

"It is necessary to know that the biggest advantage of our army is not in the amount of combat power, but in the fact that our army is ordered to do so, and the division is a well-known and dignified imperial army. As long as the people of the Qingcheng Sword Sect don't think of rebellion, they don't dare to seriously resist Wang Shi. ”

"The last general will look at the small terrain here, and there are really not many soldiers. Our army is numerous, which is a great disadvantage. At this point, it has become a great benefit. In this way, as long as our army has all the complete equipment and all the elite soldiers who can fight in front of the battle. In this way, we will certainly give people the illusion that our army is mighty and invincible. ”

"With this illusion, coupled with the righteousness of the imperial court, as long as we don't wait for each other, there is more room for everything, and the Qingcheng Sword Sect has no other way but to give in!"

"Good!" Hearing what Zhang Dujian said, Chief Manager Zhao was overjoyed: "This matter will be meritorious to Brother Zhang." ”

Chen Shi went up the mountain, and it was not until Shen Shi that the officers and soldiers were in formation.

The 400 officers and soldiers in the lead, holding sharp soldiers in their hands, stepped into the Qingcheng Mountain Gate.

After putting together all the family resources of thousands of officers and soldiers, these 400 officers and soldiers looked extraordinary. At a glance, all of them are full of spirit and full of armor. But in front of him were fifty shieldmen with good iron shields, and in the middle were a hundred pikemen, armed with eight spears. In the end, there were two hundred and fifty crossbowmen, armed with strong bows and crossbows.

Standing in the middle of such male soldiers, Chief Zhao's self-confidence swelled again. He slapped his horse out of battle and shouted:

"Everyone in the Qingcheng Sword Sect listens, the division of the king of the court is here, so you immediately put down your weapons and come out to obey orders!"

"If you don't comply, today, this official will wash Qingcheng with blood!"
