The leftovers in the tent have long been cleaned up.

Zhang Chupan sat on the marching bed, closed his eyes and did exercises to heal his wounds.

Someone came in, and he heard footsteps, raised his eyelids, and glanced at it.

But it's a gray-haired firehead army, pinching and delivering food.

Zhang Chu didn't care, and said lightly: "Just put it on the case." ”

He closed his eyes and continued his work, but he did not hear the footsteps of the old firehead soldier exiting the camp.

He opened his eyes, looked at the respectful old firehead army under the tent, and asked, "What else is going on?"

Huotoujun pinched his hands and shook them to the end: "The old slave greets Young Master Chu." ”

Hearing this title, Zhang Chu frowned violently.

Not many people have called him that.

There is no one who can still call him that.

"Who is your master?"

He asked, frowning.

Huotoujun took out a letterhead sealed with fire paint from his arms, held it high above the top, and shook it to the end: "Young Master Chu, the old slave is a descendant of the Wu family, and on the order of my master, I have come to meet Young Master Chu." ”

"Oh, the Wu family?"

Zhang Chu sneered in his heart, and asked softly with a smile on his face, "Which Wu family?"

Huotoujun raised his head and said in surprise: "The old slave is a little incomprehensible about what you said, this Xuanbei Prefecture, is it possible that there is a second Wu family?"

"What an old dog!"

Zhang Chu's smile turned cold suddenly, "If you are not afraid of death, can you do whatever you want?"

Huotoujun didn't answer, raised the letterhead in his hand again, and said in a low voice: "The old slave is dead, if you can see it, just take it, please look at the love of the past years, and take a look at my master's handwriting." ”

Zhang Chu looked at this fire head army fixedly, and his heart was quite shocked.

In the eyes of the firehead army under the tent, there is only his master, and in order to complete the things that his master told him, he will not hesitate to lose his old life.

Come to think of it, this Huotou Army must be a family slave raised by the Beiban Wu clan for several generations, so that it can have this foolish loyalty.

This is the essence of Qianghao!

He was also shocked by the influence of the Wu clan in Xuanbei Prefecture.

The northern rebellion of the Wu clan has long been a foregone conclusion.

On the surface, the government has been sweeping away the remnants of the Wu clan's power.

Secretly, the Zhenbei Army, the Taiping Society, and the Jiangbei Alliance have also been sweeping away the remnants of the Wu clan.

After sweeping so many times openly and secretly, the Wu clan was still able to reach into the Zhenbei Army......

After all, it is a skinny camel, bigger than a horse!

The force of his Taiping Society, even if it has not surpassed the "Wulian City" before the Northern Rebellion, can definitely compete with the "Wulian City".

But with this influence that penetrates into all aspects of Xuanbei Prefecture, the Taiping Society will have to work hard for at least a few more years before it can hope to catch up.

This is also the premise that violence is more convincing than money.

However, in this way, the Northern Barbarian Wu clan is operating in the shadows and providing information to the Northern Barbarians, and some things make sense.

The art of war is cloudy: know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles.

Huo Hongye didn't know the movements of the Northern Barbarians, and Zhang Chu didn't know.

But he now knew that the Northern Barbarians must be very aware of Huo Hongye's movements......

The chaotic thoughts were like lightning, and after a brief but intense collision, they quickly fell silent.

Zhang Chu's gaze finally fell on the letterhead in Huotoujun's hand.

The envelope reads "Virtuous nephew Zhang Chu personally opened".

The inscription is "Wu Yuanwei".

Zhang Chu remembered this person.

Wu Qianyuan's second uncle.

In the past, the person who was in charge of the Wu clan in Jintian Mansion.

Speaking of which, this person did help him a lot back then......

"The letter remains. ”

He thought about it for a while, and then made a decision in his heart: "Give you a stick of incense, call all of you in the Beiban Wu clan, and get out of the camp of the Zhenbei Army, after a stick of incense, I will give the young marshal and the whole army will be investigated!"

"Young Master Xie Chu. ”

The old Huotou Jun waved his hands calmly, and he didn't seem to be happy that Zhang Chu let him go.

He placed the letterhead on the desk and bowed out of the tent.

Zhang Chu looked at the letter, then at the food box on the desk, and his brows furrowed into a deep Sichuan character.

"Two people. ”

Hou Si'er, who was outside the tent, entered with Zhang Chu's guard leader Da Liu, waved his hands and said, "Helper." ”

"Da Liu, keep up with the Huotou army who just brought in the food, be secret, don't let him find out. ”

"Yes, helper. ”

Da Liu, who had just passed the year of standing this year, waved his hand, turned around and opened the curtain and walked out quickly.

Zhang Chu looked at Sun Si'er: "After we arrived at the Zhenbei Army camp, who was handling the food?"

After arriving at the camp of the Zhenbei Army, his affairs increased, and he handed over all the 7,000 Honghuatang brothers he brought with him to Sun Si'er to take care of.

Jiao Shan and the one hundred and eighteen brothers of the Blood Tiger Battalion, after all, they are not from the Taiping Society, they can only lead the brothers of the Red Flower Hall to fight, and they can't manage other affairs.

It can only be handed over to Sun Si'er.

This is also a test for Sun Si'er, if he can keep these 7,000 Honghuatang brothers in order, after returning to the Taiping Society later, Zhang Chu is ready to hand over the seat of the Honghuatang hall master to Sun Si'er to sit.

Sun Si'er lived up to Zhang Chu's expectations, and opened his mouth without thinking: "It's still the three Hoututang brothers sent by Brother Mule who are handling it. ”

Zhang Chu's heart was relieved.

Since the mule had pre-arranged for the Blood Shadow Guard to handle this matter, there would be no mistakes.

If you want to talk about mules, except for the fact that Zhang Chu is not very satisfied with the laziness of practicing martial arts, everything else is impeccable.

"Spread the word that those three brethren have come to me!"

"Yes, helper!"

Sun Si'er waved his hand and withdrew from Zhang Chu's tent.

Zhang Chu crossed his fingers, looked at the letter on the desk and fell into deep thought.

He won't read the letter.

But the content of the letter, he can guess with his thumb.

It's nothing more than words like "good birds choose trees to perch on", plus verbal checks for high-ranking officials and the like.

Mo said that these things themselves did not have any attraction to him.

Even if there were, it was far from enough to make him let go of his hatred and hostility towards the Northern Barbarians......

He was not surprised that the Beiban Wu clan would risk exposing the spies they had planted in the Zhenbei army and send someone to connect with him.

In fact, the Beiban Wu clan has never given up on his path, and has been constantly trying to connect with him through various news channels.

Even if he sold a batch of their strongholds to Wu Qianyuan, and he personally copied a batch of their strongholds, they didn't give up.

There is a kind of Zhang Chu who abused them thousands of times, and they treated Zhang Chu like their first love.

However, Zhang Chu knows very well in his heart that they are so persistent and magnanimous, and they have nothing to do with "nostalgia" and "guilt".

It's just that his power is getting stronger and stronger, and the benefits of hooking up with him far outweigh the strongholds he killed......

What Zhang Chu is thinking about now is how to deal with this matter.

Stay, it is definitely impossible to keep these spies in the Zhenbei Army, the two armies are fighting, and an important piece of information can bury countless hot-blooded sons.

If he didn't know about it, wouldn't he become their accomplice if he turned a blind eye to it?

It is not suitable to ventilate Huo Hongye.

Huo Hongye was not lightly suspicious, Wu Qianyuan sent Huo Hongye grain and grass to help him in the Northern Expedition before, and he also secretly investigated Wu Qianyuan, if he stabbed Huo Hongye about this matter now, it was difficult to say whether Huo Hongye would suspect him.

But he is in the Zhenbei Army, after all, outsiders don't know that Huo Hongye privately investigates spies, and he is a little overstepping......

Before he could come up with a way to get the best of both worlds, the head of the guards, Da Liu, trotted back to the camp.

"Gang leader, that firehead army, committed suicide!"

"Huh, how did you kill yourself?"

Da Liu stretched out his hand and gestured around his neck, and his eyes revealed shock: "I used a kitchen knife to cut my throat alive......"

Killing materials that can cut someone's throat with a knife are all over the streets.

There is no ruthless person who can cut his throat with a knife.

"Committed suicide in public?"

"Yes, the helper, there are a lot of brothers from the former army who are watching over there now......"

Zhang Chu was silent for a long time and sighed heavily.

Wu Yuanwei!

Ruthless enough!

Take a human life to shut my mouth!

What he said to the Firehead was known only to the two of them.

Now the Huotou army committed suicide by cutting his throat in public.

He stabbed the matter to Huo Hongye at this time, if Huo Hongye asked him: Why didn't he capture the Huotou army at that time, how could Zhang Chu answer?

According to the truth, it is said that the long line will drop the big fish?

That also requires Huo Hongye's letter!

While the two were talking, Sun Si'er led the three of them into the tent.

"Hoututang Huang Tian, Jiang Jie, Wu Yong, meet the helper!"

"Get up...... You two go out first!"

"Yes, helper. ”

Sun Si'er and Da Liu shook hands and retired.

Zhang Chu looked at the three people in the hall and said, "There are two things to call you and others. ”

"First, there is a spy of the Northern Barbarian Wu clan who was planted in the Zhenbei Army, and he committed suicide after delivering me food. ”

"2. Our brothers' meals must be strictly controlled, and no food or water source of unknown origin shall be used, and the meals delivered to our brothers must first be tested by livestock...... Also, it is strictly forbidden for outsiders to approach our food. ”

"Yes, helper. ”

The three of them received the order and withdrew from Zhang Chu's camp.

Zhang Chu sat alone in the tent, wanting to close his eyes and continue to heal his wounds, but the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more he endured it, the more he felt guilty!

People sit at home, and pots come from heaven!

Is it true that Zhang Chu is a clay man, and he has no anger?

He stroked the stubble on his chin and thought about a way to take revenge on the Beiban Wu clan and Wu Yuanwei, but after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't think of any good way.

The forces of the Beiban Wu clan are mainly distributed in the four northern counties and the Tianji grassland.

The forces of the Taiping Society are mainly distributed in Beiyu County.

The whip is beyond the reach of the whip!

After thinking for a while, he finally had to murmur discouragedly: "Forget it, let's go back to Taiping Town later, and then slowly find a way to pick up the Beiban Wu clan, after all, this is the home of the Zhenbei Army, and it is not easy to ...... powerful."

Maybe the ass determines the horizon.

Last year, he served and fought in the Zhenbei Army, and although he also felt restrained, he still felt very good overall.

And this time he came to the Zhenbei Army again, but he only felt that under the bright and powerful brocade clothes of the Zhenbei Army, there were thousands of holes hidden.

Gone to the ......
