Zhang Chu finished his daily practice and returned to the main altar lobby to sit in the hall.

However, before Da Liu's tea was brewed, Zhang Chu saw the mule come in with a stack of papers.

"Master Chu, these are the important things that each hall has gathered to the main altar this month, I have already dealt with them, you can take a look and see if there is anything wrong......"

The mule sent the paperwork to the long case in front of Zhang Chu and said.

It happened that Da Liu brought in the brewed tea, and when he saw the mule in the hall, he said with a smile: "I don't know that the mule brother is here, I forgot your share, wait a minute, the little brother will go and make it for you." ”

The mule also smiled and said: "Then don't fool your brother with a big bowl of tea for hospitality, Chu Ye has those old cellars, brother Menqing'er!"

"That can't be. ”

Da Liu said "hehe": "Little brother fools anyone, and he doesn't dare to fool your mule brother!"

"Let's just say you have eyesight!"

The mule gave him a thumbs up.

Da Liu arched his hand, turned around and walked out of the lobby.

Zhang Chu didn't pay attention to the blind and poor brothers, he flipped through the stacks of paperwork that had become a small mountain, and then held the tea bowl in both hands, lazily shrunk in the cast iron chair like a landlord and old wealth, and said: "I'm too lazy to look at it, you pick up the important ones, tell me about it." ”

Recently, he has been concentrating on perfecting his martial arts, and he has thrown all the daily affairs of the Beiping League to the mule to deal with, and he has become a hands-on shopkeeper in a down-to-earth manner.

Mule: "Important...... By the way, a few days ago, the state government drove Zhang Yunjing into the customs to ask to see you, you were in retreat at that time, I received him, and he discussed two things with me. ”

"The first thing is that Lu Shaoji killed the thief Cao of Tai'an Prefecture, and the state government wants to use their Taihang Sword Sect as a chicken and kill them to show the monkeys, so as to ask for the consent of our Beiping League. ”

Zhang Chu recalled for a moment and asked, "Is it the Lu Shaoji who came to Taiping Pass to ask for guilt before?"

The mule nodded: "Yes, it's that Lu Shaoji!"

Zhang Chu frowned: "Doesn't my Beiping League already have an attitude towards this matter? If the state government of other prefectures can allow corrupt officials to ignore people's lives and fish and flesh the people, it will not allow my chivalrous sons and daughters of Xuanbei rivers and lakes to act chivalrous and righteous?"

The mule hurriedly said: "I explained to Zhang Yunjing the position of our Beiping League, but this time, it may be that Lu Shaoji made too much trouble, and Zhang Yunjing's attitude is a little tough......"

Zhang Chu interrupted his explanation: "What is the final resolution on this matter?"

Mule: "I said that you are in retreat, I can't make up my mind, I didn't talk to Zhang Yunjing about it......"

"How can this kind of thing be with the mud?"

Zhang Chu put down the tea bowl and said in a deep voice: "After you go down, immediately send someone to inform Zhang Yunjing, just say that if the state capital insists on crossing my Beiping League to copy the Taihang Sword Sect, it is okay, but in the future, my Beiping League will no longer restrain all the green forest heroes and Jiangyang thieves!"

Seeing that the eldest brother had a rare temper, the mule didn't dare to say more, so he directly hugged his fists and said: "Yes, I will send someone to inform Zhang Yunjing after I go down!"

Zhang Chu: "What's the second thing?"

The mule hurriedly said: "This year, the counties have a bumper harvest, and the state government wants to use the trade routes of our Beiping League to run the grain ......."

Zhang Chu frowned slightly, and said categorically: "Don't borrow, the government is the government, the rivers and lakes are the rivers and lakes, and there must be no ambiguity!"

"Do you want to borrow the business of my Beiping League? Yes, pay the escort fee according to the pricing of the Aoba Department, and my Beiping League will ensure the safe and smooth operation of their grain, other than that, there is no negotiation!"

The mule smiled: "That's what I said to Zhang Yunjing, he was so angry that he didn't even eat the banquet he prepared, and left with a flick of his sleeves!"

Zhang Chu sneered: "You've kicked your nose in your face, you still invite him to dinner?"

Mule: "You do this properly, even if he Zhang Yunjing is so angry that his hair stands up, he has to hold back, if I do it...... It's a bit of a dog-fighting situation!"

Zhang Chu teased: "Shouldn't it be a mule fighting man, right?"

"Hahaha......"

The brothers burst out laughing at the same time.

"Don't talk nonsense, this year's Xuanbei counties have a bumper harvest, is there any movement in the Zhenbei Army?"

Zhang Chu asked.

When the mule heard this, he glanced at Zhang Chu - big brother, he still hasn't given up!

He recalled for a moment and replied: "Before the great heat, the counties replenished a batch of troops to the Zhenbei Army, and the number was about 20,000. ”

"20,000 ......"

Zhang Chu made a calculation and asked, "In other words, the Zhenbei Army now has another 100,000 people?"

The mule nodded: "Yes, there are 100,000 people again, but in my opinion, that Huo Shao Marshal estimated that he had been broken by the Northern Barbarians, and the 20,000 army did not move at all after entering the camp of Jintianfu...... Counting on the Zhenbei Army to recover the lost territory and recover the four northern counties, I am afraid that we will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Moon!"

Zhang Chu knocked on the table and groaned for a while before he said softly: "I can't say that, Huo Hongye is not easy, there is no natural danger to rely on, the foundation of the veterans of the Zhenbei Army in the past was consumed as early as the road to the south, and he can rely on the hundreds of thousands of troops that have been scraped together to fight against the army of 300,000 Northern Barbarian Tigers and Wolves for a year and a half, it is not easy!"

He despises Huo Hongye's personality, and he has no friendship with Huo Hongye, but Zhang Chu still recognizes Huo Hongye's current commanding ability.

When the Zhenbei Army was guarding Yongming Pass, if Huo Hongye had the current command ability, the Northern Barbarians would not be able to enter the pass at all!

Well, you can't say that.

Back then, Huo Hongye was the commander of the Zhenbei Army on the surface, but secretly it was actually the King of Zhenbei who was in command, and Huo Hongye was just a puppet of the King of Zhenbei who placed it on the table.

Scold.

King of Zhenbei, King of Zhenbei......

The north is gone.

What kind of king is still in town......

"Are you looking too highly at that Young Marshal Huo?"

The mule disagreed with Zhang Chu's opinion: "Jintianfu, it was you who led the brothers of the Red Flower Department to fight north, and he Huo Shao Marshal can harm more than 100,000 old men to bury their bones in Wuding County by guarding a city, do you still think he has the ability?"

"There are no immortals in war!"

Zhang Chu sighed lightly and said lightly: "Wuding County, itself is a flesh and blood grinding plate prepared by the Northern Barbarians for the Zhenbei Army, if you change the mediocre commander, the Zhenbei Army has long been gnawed by the Northern Barbarians to the point that there are no bones left!"

"When I went to the Northern Expedition of the Zhenbei Army, I decided that the Zhenbei Army would have to return to Beiyin County if it couldn't last half a year in Wuding County!"

But Huo Hongye not only held on, but also became more and more stable, like a nail firmly nailed to the four northern counties...... If you change me, I really can't!"

People are self-aware.

Although Zhang Chu had a good record in the battle against the Northern Barbarians, he knew very well that he was only a halfway monk, and he did not understand the art of war that a qualified commander and general should have.

In small battles, he may be able to defeat the enemy with some ingenuity.

But if he was asked to command a major battle of more than 100,000 people, he was afraid that he would be defeated before he could even figure out the context of his opponent.

He can only be a brave general, not a wise handsome!

The mule looked at his face and whispered cautiously: "You said that Wuding County is a flesh and blood millstone, let's not go to join in the fun, right?"

Zhang Chu took a sip of the tea bowl, nodded with a smile, and said, "Well, let's close the door and live our own little life, not to join in the fun." ”

The mule looked at the big brother's smiling face and wanted to laugh, but couldn't laugh.

He has been with his eldest brother for five years.

If you can hide it from others, can you hide it from him?
