In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Chu was dressed in a white robe, holding the official seal of the county soldier Cao, and bowed down into the north building.

"The last general, Zhang Chu, see my lord!"

As soon as Nie Ben, who was working hard to write in the hall, looked up and saw that it was Zhang Chu coming, he immediately put down the brush in his hand, walked down the hall with a smile, and enthusiastically held Zhang Chu's forearm: "Rest so soon, sit down quickly!"

"Thank you, sir!"

Nie Ben was casual, but Zhang Chu didn't dare to trespass, and only after giving up his hand again according to the etiquette did he sit down with Nie Ben.

Speaking of which, although Zhang Chu served as the county soldier Cao for two months, he actually only met Nie Ben three times.

On every side, Nie Ben's attitude and the feeling he gave Zhang Chu were different.

The first side is Nie Fu, Nie Ben's face is cold and hard, and his breath is majestic, Zhang Chu saw him come out, and cold sweat soaked his underwear.

On the second side, when the Zhenbei Army entered the city the day before yesterday, Nie Ben scolded him on his face, but the meaning of protection in his words was overflowing.

On the third side, that is, this one, Nie Ben is smiling, amiable, and as enthusiastic as the uncle next door.

This is an attitude of closeness that can only be found with one's own people.

"My lord, the last general is here to return the seal of the county soldier Cao Guan!"

After the two of them sat down, Zhang Chu respectfully placed the official seal of the county soldier Cao in a sandalwood box on Nie Ben's side.

According to the normal handover procedure, Nie Ben should open the box in front of Zhang Chu and inspect the official seal.

However, Nie Ben just glanced at the box lightly, and said with a smile in a casual tone, "Are you going to go to the Zhenbei Army to paint?"

Zhang Chu replied honestly: "Don't dare to let the prince wait for a long time." ”

"It's good!"

Nie Ben nodded, and his words suddenly changed: "You enter the Zhenbei Army, do you have any plans?"

Zhang Chu looked at him and didn't understand what he meant by this, so he could only say: "The last general has no plans, everything is up to the prince." ”

Nie Ben: "How much do you know about the position of guerrilla general?"

Zhang Chu had a few things in mind, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "Please also ask the adults to guide the maze." ”

Nie Ben waved his hand and pressed down his hand, and said softly with a smile: "You don't have to be so polite, in terms of grade, you are now on the same level as me, it just so happens that you have a friendship with my second son, if you don't dislike it, call me Shibo." ”

Nie Yutang?

Hearing this name, Zhang Chu didn't think of the uninhibited figure of the young man in a light shirt and a folding fan dancing lightly.

It was Wu Qianyuan's tired and old face like an old farmer, and his long gray hair.

He didn't show the slightest difference on his face, and nodded kindly: "Then please forgive the little nephew for trespassing." ”

Nie Ben stroked his beard, with a satisfied look of "teachable".

"The guerrillas will be military officers. ”

"What is a military officer?"

"It is a military general with no rank, no ministry and no soldiers to command. ”

"Of course, Shizi Jin you are a guerrilla general, but also for your consideration, although the Zhenbei Army is newly defeated, but the morale has not been damaged, how proud the soldiers, although you have great achievements in the Zhenbei Army, but if you enter the Zhenbei Army and ascend to a high position to take charge of the army, I am afraid that you will not be able to suppress the generals under your command. ”

Nie Ben explained to Zhang Chu in the tone of a passer-by.

Zhang Chu didn't interject, but his heart was a little strange...... Is Nie Ben praising that champion Hou Shizi?

“...... If you really walk into the camp of the Zhenbei Army like this, I am afraid that you will only be able to receive an idle errand to run the grain, and bury your talent in vain. ”

Zhang Chu pondered Nie Ben's words, and his heart was suddenly shocked!

That Huo Shizi, wouldn't he have taken a fancy to the remaining 800 people of his Quadruple Gang?

It's not impossible!

Those 800 people, but among the 6,000 people that the Quadruple Gang has replenished, the elite who have been beaten!

Moreover, the Zhenbei Army is now greatly damaged......

"Shibo has a point. ”

Zhang Chu pretended to be stupid quietly: "But the little nephew really has no one in his hands now, almost all the young and strong people in Jintian Mansion have been consumed in the battle to defend the city, and the little nephew now wants to pull up another group of people, and he can't find so many young and strong!"

"You don't have to worry about this!"

Nie Ben stroked his beard with a smile: "You are the guerrilla general who I will take out of the North Building, and call the old man Shibo, how can the old man let you go to the Zhenbei Army empty-handed to take office!"

"Isn't there still 3,000 soldiers and horses left in the Four City Gates? Those soldiers and horses were pulled up by you, and under your command you fought such a tragic battle to defend the city, you must be able to use them easily, so you will take these 3,000 soldiers and horses to the Zhenbei Army to take office!"

Nie Ben said lightly.

Zhang Chu listened to it, but he didn't feel light at all.

The three thousand?

Nearly half of the 3,000 people are the establishment of the Jintianfu City Guards and the Xiang Army, which are directly under the state capital Sima, and the Zhenbei Army are completely two systems!

With such a big stroke of the pen, transferred to the Zhenbei Army?

Zhang Chu's mind turned sharply, and he quickly figured out the basis for Nie Ben's operation.

After the siege was over, a total of 4,000 soldiers and horses remained at the gates of the four cities.

But the 4,000 soldiers and horses were left after a fierce battle of 13,000 people from the city guards, the box army, the people's husband, and the Silian gang for three days and three nights.

Except for Zhang Chu and Nie Ben, who has taken over the defense of Jintianfu in the past two days, no one knows how many city guards and how many van troops there are among the 4,000 people.

Even Shi Anzai didn't know, because Shi Anzai never asked about these things.

In this way, Nie Ben can completely report the loss of all the surviving city guards and van army!

After all, the 20,000 Northern Barbarian army besieged Jintianfu for three days and three nights, and there were only 7,000 city guards and box troops in total, and it is reasonable that the entire army was annihilated.

The important thing is that AllBright is defending!

It also consumed 20,000 Northern Barbarian troops!

That's a great achievement!

With this great merit, no matter how many people Jintianfu died in the battle, the state government will not investigate it.

This is the same way as the restructuring of state-owned enterprises in a certain period.

Sure enough, it is the thief who steals the hook, and the thief who steals the country.

Hold up the bold, starve the faint-hearted!

When Zhang Chu was amazed in his heart by Nie Ben's operation, there was another thing in his mind.

Nie Ben allocated all the 3,000 people who guarded the city to him, does it mean that the high-level officials of the county government have made up their minds to give up Jintian Mansion?

Previously, Zhang Chu forcibly pulled out 13,000 people in the Jintian Mansion, which had exhausted all the war potential of the Jintian Mansion.

In a short period of time, it is impossible for AllBright to recruit enough soldiers and horses to defend the city.

As for the request for help, as soon as the Beiban entered the customs, the state government had already requisitioned the Xiang troops stationed in various county governments to support the northern frontier, and as a result, on the night that Yanqi County was breached, it was fully reimbursed for the first battle.

Now the battleable soldiers in Xuanbei Prefecture are only the city guards of the county capitals.

Therefore, unless the Dali Imperial Court mobilizes the troops of other state capitals and enters Xuanbei Prefecture to fight against the Northern Barbarian Army.

Otherwise, AllBright will not receive any support.

Hope for the Zhenbei Army?

Not to mention, the Zhenbei Army and the Jintian Mansion, one is the border army and the other is the locality, which belong to two systems.

Just saying that the Northern Barbarian army is approaching the city, the Zhenbei Army can retreat and break through at any time, can Jintianfu grow its feet and follow the Zhenbei Army to retreat and break through?

In this situation, Nie Ben also transferred the remaining troops of Jintian Mansion to Zhang Chu, and asked Zhang Chu to bring them into the Zhenbei Army, this is not to give up Jintian Mansion?

Of course, Zhang Chu can only think about these words in his heart.

He is no longer a member of the Jintianfu County Government, and his relationship with Nie Ben is not close enough to be reassuring, of course he can't ask Nie Ben stupidly: "Are you ready to give up Jintianfu?"

Although he really wanted to ask Nie Ben how they were going to settle the 100,000 people of Jintian Mansion.

AllHeaven, but Big Bear took his life, and so many of them worked hard to defend it.

......

"Then thank you for your kindness!"

Zhang Chu got up and shook Nie Ben to the end.

It was in his interest, and he certainly had no reason to refuse.

Those 3,000 people are also his old subordinates, and it is better for him to continue to lead them than to let the next county soldier Cao Lai lead them and not take their lives as orders.

Besides, he was not in a position to refuse.

The 3,000 soldiers and horses were given to him on the surface, but they were actually given to the Zhenbei Army.

What qualifications does he have to refuse Nie Ben's kindness on behalf of the champion Hou Shizi?

Perhaps, this is what the champion Hou Shizi and Nie Ben have discussed a long time ago.

Nie Ben helped him up with his own hands, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Young man, go to the Zhenbei Army, do a good job, don't lose the face of our Jintianfu, and don't live up to the expectations of the prince of the world!"

"The little nephew remembered Shi Bo's instructions. ”

Zhang Chu waved his hand again.

......

The Zhenbei Army has been stationed in Beidaying.

But Zhang Chu was the champion Hou Shizi who he saw in the large military camp outside the city.

When Zhang Chu saw him, the little marquis was rolling up his sleeves and brushing the horse with his own hands.

"The last general, Zhang Chu, see the prince!"

Champion Hou Shizi saw him and asked with a smile: "General Zhang came just in time, look at this horse, it was only taken from a five-rank white wolf lord when he broke through yesterday, a rare thousand-mile horse!"

Zhang Chu straightened up and glanced at the green horse in front of him, which was more than a foot tall, with blue and white fur but not messy, and covered in tendon flesh.

"Yushizi, the last general doesn't understand Soma. ”

He said honestly.

"Hey, if you don't understand, you can learn!"

Champion Hou Shizi pointed to this green horse, and said familiarly: "This horse, just like a woman, first look at the skin, the coat color is uniform and not messy, and it is better to have oil, then look at the legs, it is advisable to be slender and strong, and then look at the chest and buttocks......"

Zhang Chuwei responded resignedly.

The dignified champion Hou Shizi, the son of the daughter of the Eight Classics, drove in front of his subordinates, and Zhang Chu boasted that he did not have the skill of buying people's hearts.

After the champion Hou Shizi introduced the horse in front of him, he suddenly changed his words, "General Zhang doesn't have a war horse yet, can General Zhang look at this green horse?"

Zhang Chu was taken aback, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "How can the last general win the love of the world, the last general is a rough man, and he can fight on any horse." ”

"BMW is a gift to a fierce general!"

Champion Hou Shizi patted the green horse in front of him and said: "General Zhang's demeanor of the hundred horsemen robbing the camp, I have admired it for a long time, it just so happens that this green horse has been nourished by the true qi of the five great heroes for many years, the muscles and bones are strong, and it can bear the strength of ten thousand jun, General Zhang will ride it, and he will definitely be able to make miraculous feats!"

He said this, Zhang Chu really couldn't refuse, so he could only wave his hands and say: "Then I can only thank the prince for his generous gift!"

Champion Hou Shizi saw him respond, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and then beckoned to the groom on the side, and said, "Equip it with a good saddle and send it to General Zhang." ”

"Yes, young marshal!"

Champion Hou Shizi picked up a sweat towel, wiped the water stains on his hands, and said, "General Zhang, come with me!"

"Dare to disobey. ”

The two walked out of the stables one after the other.

Zhang Chu has always maintained a distance of half a position behind the champion Hou Shizi.

The camp that accommodates 50,000 troops occupies an extremely wide area, but the camp does not look messy, large and small tents are arranged according to the formation, ten steps and one sentry, one hundred steps and one post, and there are constantly elite soldiers who are stubborn and marching in front of the two people, and the security is extremely strict.

"General Zhang is also a master of robbing camps, with your plan, if you want to rob the camp of our Zhenbei Army, what means should you use?"

Champion Hou Shizi walked ahead, but seemed to find Zhang Chu looking around.

"The prince has raised the last general, the camp of the northern barbarians, the wall is thin, the military discipline is corrupt, and they dare to drink and have fun on the way to the camp, how can it be compared with the camp of our Zhenbei army!"

He's not stupid, just when he first comes to pick thorns, doesn't that offend people?

Champion Hou Shizi nodded and asked, "Then you can say, why don't the Northern Barbarians pay attention to the camp?"

Zhang Chu thought for a while and replied: "The last general guesses, it should be that the Northern Barbarians are nomads and don't know how to set up camp?"

Encamping on the steppe is completely different from encamping in war.

"That's just one of them!"

Champion Hou Shizi nodded and said, "Second, it has always been the Northern Barbarians who attack us at night, and we rarely attack them at night. ”

He made a good sense of it, but Zhang Chu was speechless.

"You are a very bloody and brainy general, I am very optimistic about you!"

"Do a good job, as long as you kill enough Northern Barbarians, whether you want money, women, official positions, or martial arts, this son can give it to you!"

Zhang Chu felt familiar when he heard this, and after thinking about it, wasn't this what he usually said to the brothers of the Quadruple Gang?

Do you look like a good fool?

He silently touched his bald head.

"Our Zhenbei Army has five armies: front, center, rear, left, and right, which army do you want to go to?"

Zhang Chu said: "It's all up to the young marshal to decide. ”

Champion Hou Shizi pondered for a while, and said: "Then go to the front army, the former general Jiang Han, died in Yanquan County, and is currently the partial general General Ji Baji in charge of the former military affairs, and later I will send an order to General Ji, so that he will hand over the military affairs of the front army to you, you will temporarily lead the military affairs of the front army, and after the next former general arrives, you will hand over the military affairs to him!"

Zhang Chu was secretly laughing at the name "Ji Ba" in his heart, and when he heard this, he hurriedly said: "Young marshal, the last general has just arrived, and he is not familiar with our Zhenbei Army, how can he take on this heavy responsibility, or let General Ji Baji continue to lead the military affairs, and the last general will give him a hand." ”

"You don't have to be modest, you can lead 13,000 miscellaneous soldiers to drag down 20,000 elite Northern Barbarian troops, I trust your ability. ”

"As for General Ji......"

Champion Hou Shizi turned around and said with a constipated expression: "You'll know when you go!"
