Xu Guoyong said softly: "Little brother, if you can stand up, stand up, only after defeating the rebellious Tusi, can you go home and reunite with your wife, Lord Zhang." He pointed at Zhang Fan with his finger and continued: "In order to go home and reunite with his beautiful wife, Master Zhang is not worried that his mother-in-law can't keep it, what are you worried about?" The soldier saw Xu Guo using the civilian man's suit, and he didn't know what to say, so he got up and limped, and Ah Qiu shouted loudly: "What else to see, don't transport grain quickly, and when General Mao Youxing catches that luxury Zheng'an, we can also go home." When many soldiers heard the word "go home", their hearts were lifted, and they all knew that only by defeating Hao Zheng'an could they really return home, and the team began to move forward again.

Xu Guoyong and Zhang Fan walked to the front again, and Xu Guoyong sighed and said: "The guest soldier system of this dynasty is about to change. Zhang Fan said: "I hope that Lord Xu will enter the cabinet as soon as possible and become a scholar, and then Lord Xu will really have the ability to do something." Xu Guoyong said: "I have this heart, but I'm afraid it will be thirty years." Zhang Fan said with a smile: "The elder of the cabinet is not seventy or eighty, if Lord Xu can enter the cabinet at fifty, he will also be the youngest bachelor in this dynasty." Xu Guoyong said: "I'm afraid that even if I enter the cabinet, I am powerless, this dynasty is the emperor and scholars who rule the world, not the emperor and the people who rule the world." Zhang Fan was silent.

At this time, in the Baojing Tusi camp, there was a person dressed in a scribe's uniform in front of Hao Zheng'an, but he was masked with a black scarf, and the two sat opposite each other, and there were only a few extremely trusted guards of Hao Zheng'an on one side, the torches flashed on fire, and from time to time made a "pop" sound.

Hao Zheng'an said: "I don't know what the benefits of me doing this thing are?" The masked man in black said in a low voice: "King Luxury, everyone understands what you want to recruit An, but although you have used a lot of money, but if you want to recruit An, I'm afraid it's not so easy. Hao Zheng'an was silent, but he also knew that this was the truth, no matter how much silver he used, he couldn't stop others from staring at his head.

The man in black saw that he was moving, so he said: King Luxury, if you do this, my master said, and my family will say a few words, and you can cooperate and express to the court, naturally you can keep a safe and sound, but the king has done this bull thing, and naturally someone will speak for the prince in the court. “

Hao Zheng'an said: "Just rob a grain team, what are the people in this grain team, you must kill them all in this king, isn't there some noble people in this grain team, I'm worried about accidentally stepping on a big tiger." The masked scribe smiled and said, "There are no nobles, and there are no nobles." Hao Zheng'an said: "Could it be that the prince is mixed in this grain transportation team, for example, the third prince, he is the sworn enemy of His Royal Highness the Prince." The masked man laughed dryly and said: "Haha, King Luxury is really worried, there is really such a character, even my master does not dare to move, tell King Luxury honestly, the son is just fighting for a woman this time." At this time, a personal guard suddenly stepped forward and whispered a few words in Hao Zheng'an's ear, this guard is the person he sent to inquire about the news in Wuchang City, so he naturally wants to be sure, Hao Zhengan listened, suddenly laughed, stood up, and said to the masked man: "I see, a trivial matter, please return to Guishang, just say that Lu Mou will definitely do it, and he will definitely not disappoint Guishang." The masked man rejoiced, "This is very good, I will wait for the news of the King of Luxury." After saying that, he got up and made a formation, and the soldiers on one side opened the tent curtain, and he bowed down and went out.

Hao Zhengan said to the guards beside him: "Gather the generals, we are going to rob a grain team in the court." The guard said: "I don't know how many people?" Hao Zhengan smiled: "Not much, not much, just summon 3,000 people, this time the robbery is just a grain transportation team of 800 people." The guard opened his mouth wide, he couldn't believe that when he was going to even care about attacking a grain transport team of 800 people, but he didn't dare to say more, so he went down.

Hao Zhengan said with a smile: "The court is corrupt, it has reached such a point, but the court is not bad to the root, otherwise it is not impossible to seize the world." He said to a screen behind him, and one flashed out behind the screen, it was Tan Zhengkun, it turned out that he had been eavesdropping on the side just now, but he didn't let the masked messenger see it.

Tan Zhengkun said: "If the court is full of people like the Lai family's father and son, Sun Changhua, and generals like Shen Dinghua, we can take the world with our hands." Hao Zheng'an said: "But this court still needs to be supported by people like Mao Youxing, if people like Mao Youxing die, we can succeed in the great cause." Tan Zhengkun said: "I don't have to wait for him to do it, he will naturally die at the hands of his own family, I didn't know this truth before, and I sent someone to assassinate him, but now I understand that we don't need to do it at all, and someone in the court will naturally do it for us." Tan Zhengkun said: "Is Sun Changhua so stupid? He is also known as a person who knows soldiers." Tan Zhengkun laughed and said: "That's the military strategy I heard on the stage, how can we take it seriously, we are about to borrow his hand to kill Mao Youxin, Zeng Meng and others." Hao Zhengan said: "How can Sun Changhua follow my wishes." Tan Zhengkun said with a smile: "Let's start with the five-month southwest, if Lord Sun's five-month southwest strategy cannot be realized, wouldn't it be unfavorable to his grand journey, and we will help him." The two of them glanced at each other and sneered in unison.

Zhang Fan and the others walked for a few more days, and then they saw the large camp of officers and soldiers, at this time the morale of the officers and soldiers was also low, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers drove here, but the Tusi soldiers avoided fighting, of course, the morale was low, among them there were not a few homesick people, not to mention the matter of withholding money and food, the commanders of each battalion were different, and they would not be issued to the soldiers like Mao Youxing.

There are more than 10 large camps here, Zhang Fan saw Mao Youxing again, Mao Youxing saw Zhang Fan, saw no one, jumped to scold Sun Changhua, after Sun arrived, Zhang Zhongsi was almost elevated, if the military order came out of Zhang Zhongsi, there would be no money and no food, and the military order came out of Sun Changhua, money, food and weapons, Horses are inexhaustible, naturally because Sun Changhua came from the old family of Yang Linhe Pavilion and has a large face, plus many imperial historians began to find fault with Zhang Zhonghe, Zhang Zhongsi became more and more careful, although he was a nobleman, but compared with the cabinet scholars, it was different.

Zhang Fan was also speechless to say, this time the grain and grass were short of twenty percent, or because Xu Guo used a lot of face, the household yamen saw that it was the same year as Sun Changhua, and gave two points of face, otherwise, the grain transport soldiers under Zhang Fan would also drink porridge.

In addition to scolding Sun Changhua, Mao Youxing also scolded Wan Zhichao, it turned out that for some reason, Wan Zhichao in the rear also came to the front line, originally thought that Wan Zhichao was here to drink the blood of the soldiers, and the credit came, but Mao Youxing found that Wan Zhichao seemed to have something else important, and he was not interested in how to drink the blood of the soldiers, so he left the camp yesterday and went back to Wuchang, Mao Youxing reminded Zhang Fan to pay attention to Wan Zhenchao, but Zhang Fan said: "Don't worry, now that I am in the barracks, what can he do, and no matter how ruthless Wan Zhichao is, he can't hurt me." Mao Youxing was still extremely worried, but Zhang Fan didn't think so.

After a day, Zhang Fan took more than 800 grain transport soldiers, only brought back the rations, and Xu Guoyong went to the rear of Hefeng together, the current grain and grass are all Hefeng as a transit station, the big camp is also there, Zhang Fan and his more than 800 grain soldiers are just one of the many grain transport teams, this big battalion has a new grain team to transport grain and grass to this side every day, and there is also grain He drove back, everything is done according to the rules, there is nothing wrong.

It's just that for many days, I didn't see the letter from the rain, Zhang Fan was puzzled, and he planned to return to Hefeng this time, so he sent his own soldiers back to ask once.

The group began to head towards Hefeng.

A team of hundreds of people walked in the mountains, Xu Guoyong and Zhang Fan lived in the middle, Ah Qiu and Gou Yu walked in front with their little brothers, and the soldiers who were rolling on the ground when they came, asking to return to their hometowns, kept asking around Xu Guoyong: "Is what the adults said true? Xu Guo used the deputy military envoy in charge of this matter, under normal circumstances, the soldiers returned to their hometowns to visit relatives, but in the middle of the dynasty, the generals and officials were reluctant to let the military households return home, and many of the policies stipulated to the military households during the Taizu period have not been implemented, everyone does not want to let their soldiers run, and now many soldiers once they return to their hometowns, it is very difficult to find them back, so gradually the military households will not be implemented in turn, and it has become a verbal policy, but Xu Guoyong became serious, and Xu Guoyong is a person from the household yamen, and the military preparation road is indispensable to deal with the household yamen in the future, and the deputy envoy of the military preparation road still thinks that Xu Guoyong is walking for his relativesAt that time, he also said that he could transfer these soldiers back to the rear to see the warehouse, but Xu Guoyong refused.

The soldier kept asking, "My lord, we can really go back." ”

"My lord, we still take the food when we return to our hometown, there is such a good thing?"

"My lord, won't we be embarrassed when we return home?"

"My lord, we can go back to our hometown for a month, as long as we report to the barracks next month, right?"

......

The soldier was too excited, kept asking and asking, Xu Guo didn't use the frame of a civil official, the soldier had a sentence he answered, Zhang Fan smiled: "You little cub, Lord Xu went to find the Yamen of the Soldier Preparation Road for you, and it took a lot of effort, now you can go home to see your mother-in-law and mother." Speaking of this, Zhang Fan himself laughed out loud.

The soldiers were happy, as if for the New Year, thinking of going back this time, they could run to the mother-in-law at home, to the children at home, there were unhappy, a team of soldiers who transported grain to Baojing and Zhang Fan's team passed by, seeing the elation of this team of grain carriers, the officers of that team were very surprised, all the soldiers under his command to Baojing were demoralized, and Zhang Fan's more than 800 soldiers were eager to jump up, and only after inquiring about the truth did they know the truth, and they couldn't help but be envious.

Xu Guoyong looked at the group of grain transporters who were heading towards Baojing, his face sank with joy, and said: "How can I let the soldiers return to their hometowns, I can only take care of this team of people, I can't take care of everyone, I'm really guilty." Zhang Fan said, when we defeat Hao Zheng'an and calm the war between the two lakes, all the soldiers can go home, Xu Guoyong said to Zhang Fan: "Vice General Zhang also misses his wife at home, right?" Zhang Fan smiled: "When my wife married me, I vowed to be a good husband and a good father in the future, it is not easy for my wife to marry me, and I also want to accompany her more." Xu Guoyong said: "Vice General Zhang is really rare, and I miss my sister at home." Zhang Fan said: "Isn't Lord Xu married?" Xu Guoyong said with a smile: "Seek things for the country, and have no time to make a living." Zhang Fan smiled: "I have several beautiful junior sisters, do you want me to introduce them." Xu Guoyong also smiled and said: "Deputy General Zhang's junior sister must be powerful, after I marry, I am afraid that there will be no hope for the rest of my life." Zhang Fan said with a smile: "Then you are wrong, my junior sisters are all good people, they look like Xizi, Lord Xu will be fascinated when he sees it." Xu Guoyong laughed dryly twice and said, "I believe, I believe." Zhang Fan said: "This time when I go back, I happen to have a junior sister in this area, how about I bring her to see her?" Xu Guo blushed with his face and said, "As long as you are willing." Zhang Fan said: "That's it." The two of them are naturally joking, Xu Guoyong was born in the Xinyang clan, and who he married, it was involuntarily.

The soldiers marched, and it began to get dark, and the marching army would naturally pick up tents, set up horses and the like, but Zhang Fan's soldiers could only be regarded as unarmored auxiliaries, so they naturally didn't need these things.

A group of people are camped in a place called Liujiapo, the terrain of Liujiapo is open in the 100,000 mountains, it is a small basin, the grain road from Hefeng to Baojing passes here, there are 100 families here, but the war is chaotic together, all run away without a shadow, only the empty village is left, it is dark at night, this small village because there is no one, so there is no light, in the dark night like a ghost domain, the mountain behind the mapping, the grid is gloomy, but the grain soldiers can take care of these, thinking that they can return to their hometown, of course they don't care when they see these, Zhang Fan pointed to Liujiapo Village in the black hole, and said: "We're going to sleep here today. The soldiers rushed to the village, but Zhang Fan and Xu Guoyong led their horses inside.

When they arrived in the village, the grain transporters shouted and shouted, and there was really no one here, and at that moment there were soldiers who set up pots and boiled water, and wanted to boil water for cooking, and the soldiers shouted and shouted one by one, and were elated, just because they could go home tomorrow.

Zhang Fan said: "These soldiers are really easy to satisfy." Xu Guoyong said: "Exactly, the people of our country are actually the most kind, and a small favor can also satisfy them." The dog was left to Zhang Fan to lead the horse, Zhang Fan stopped Ah Qiu, who was jumping, and said: "You are on duty, don't relax, do you know?" Ah Qiu dared to talk back, and took Brother Yi, Zhou Shupi, and Hu Laosan to the entrance of the village.

On the one hand, some soldiers had already cooked, and asked Zhang Fan and Xu Guoyong to eat, the two naturally followed, Xu Guoyong didn't have any shelves, and also learned from the soldiers, holding bowls, sitting by the fire and devouring them, if Sun Changhua and Wu Zhangzhang saw it, of course they would put on a "humiliating" hat.

After the soldiers ate, they rested one after another, they were not soldiers, just auxiliary soldiers without armor, many things were naturally not so strict, Zhang Fan did not plan to train these grain transport soldiers into elite soldiers, firstly, they wanted a lot of money and food armor, and secondly, Zhang Fan did not want his soldiers to go to the battlefield.

After a while of the wind blowing, Zhang Fan saw Xu Guo sleeping in a big car with a kimono, and said to the dog behind him: "Don't disturb Lord Xu, let Lord Xu sleep peacefully, you call a few people, and we will go to check the post together." The dog left a voice, called a few soldiers, followed Zhang Fan together, and went to the entrance of the village, it was to take a look at the soldiers on duty at the entrance of the village, although this is no longer the front line, but it is still necessary to be careful, Zhang Fan does not want to make any mistakes.
