When Zhang Shao walked through the chaotic crowd and saw Xun Cheng, he had a strange feeling.

The feeling is indescribable, similar to a sense of grotesqueness.

Because when Zhang Shao saw Xun Cheng, this person was actually wiping the blood on his hands with snow, and there was a row of corpses of officials lying at his feet.

The cruel battlefield is the most important thing to train people, and the bloody heat and blood smell here can't make Zhang Shao change color.

Zhang Shao is in the period of voice change, and his mouth is the voice of a male duck:

"Dare to ask if you are General Xun?"

Xun Cheng did not respond, but looked at Gao Shun next to Zhang Shao.

Gao Shun holds his fist:

"General, this is a messenger sent by the Taishan Army under the slope."

At this time, Xun Chengcai looked at Zhang Shao, and then sneered:

"Seeing that you are still a doll, is there no one in your Taishan Army anymore?"

Zhang Shao's face turned red and said angrily:

"It is precisely because of my Taishan army that the fierce generals are like clouds and the strategists are like rain that I let this doll come to see you. I don't need to tell you the truth about this, do you? Leave you some decency. ”

Xun Cheng laughed, recognized Zhang Shao's courage, and then he asked Zhang Shao to sit.

Over there, Gao Shun moved over a Mazha and placed it in front of Xun Cheng, and Zhang Shao was not polite, and sat down generously.

Xun Cheng nodded and asked:

"Then this little brother, what did your king do when you asked you to come? To persuade us? ”

Zhang Shao first shook his head, and then nodded:

"My king did not ask me to persuade you to surrender, but asked me to send you a bag of wine and a word. But I guess the king's intention to do these things is to persuade you to surrender. ”

Xun Cheng was a little embarrassed about Zhang Shao's innocence, and did not mock this kid for telling his heart, but asked:

"Oh, then what did your king ask you to give us?"

Zhang Shao coughed and cleared his throat, and then pretended to be a brother's tone:

"The king of our family asked the general: This Hanguan is here, but if this flying general is gone, then who will not teach Hu Ma to Yinshan?"

After speaking, Zhang Shao also took the initiative to explain:

"What our king means is probably that he thinks that the general is a manufacturable material who can defend the frontier for the country."

Xun Chengzheng was in a trance, his mind was a little shaken, and then he sighed and stopped talking.

Zhang Shao didn't know the bitterness and complexity of Xun Cheng's heart, but lowered his head and handed the kettle to Gao Shun on the side.

Gao Shun handed it over to Xun Cheng, and he also wanted to say something, but in the end he was silent.

Xun Cheng took the kettle, pulled out the stopper, and a strong aroma of wine came to his nose. He subconsciously took a sip and exclaimed:

"It's good wine."

After saying that, he was not greedy for wine, so he handed it back to Gao Shun and asked him to warm some wounded soldiers in the army.

Gao Shun bowed his head, but in the end he still didn't say the words in his heart.

After doing this, Xun Cheng said to Zhang Shao:

"Little brother, I am not difficult for you, I will let you go."

Zhang Shao was anxious when he heard this, he hurriedly stood up and grabbed it:

"What is difficult for me, you are difficult for yourself, and it is difficult for these officials. You really don't think about it? Now that things have come to this point, you still think that there are reinforcements to save you? Do you know that it was my brother who appreciated you and that kept him from attacking until now. Xun Cheng, you have to seize the opportunity! ”

When Xun Cheng heard this, he frowned:

"Are you that Zhang Chong's younger brother?"

Zhang Shao sighed in his heart, and he was in a hurry, but he didn't panic:

"That's right, we are the former general of the sky, and the younger brother of today's King of the Great Tai, Zhang Shao. How is it? Are you trying to hold me hostage? You don't have to be delusional, my Zhang family only has severed heads, and there are no prisoners. ”

Xun Cheng kept looking at Zhang Shao, and gradually looked at Zhang Shao's hair.

At this time, Xun Cheng's words came:

"Yes, you only have a severed head. Then how can my Han family lack one or two decapitated generals? Although I am not a pillar of the country, I am also willing to follow the heroes of the Han family in the past. Since you sent a message to your brother, you also replied for me: 'My Han family has a decapitated general, and there is no general. ’。 ”

After saying this, Xun Cheng ignored Zhang Shao anymore and directly asked Gao Shun to personally take the ironclad soldiers to drive Zhang Shao back.

In this way, Zhang Shao provoked Xun Cheng several times, but it had no effect, and he was still pressed back by Gao Shun and others.

On the way, Zhang Shao didn't understand very much, and he said to Gao Shun in confusion:

"How is your general so pedantic, what is there in the Han family to make him die. What has become of the Han family, doesn't he know? To borrow a phrase from my brother, that is, above this temple, rotten wood is the official; Between the palaces and majestys, birds and beasts eat Lu. The wolf-hearted dogs are in charge, and the servants are in power. As a result, the community has become a mound and ruins, and the common people have suffered a lot! What do you think is wrong with what my brother said? ”

Gao Shun's tone was heavy:

"Indeed, your brother is right, and this Han family is exactly what he said, even more funny than this. But what does this have to do with the Han family that the general wants to protect? The Han family in the general's heart is a Huang Han who has traveled thousands of miles, and he will not bend his knees for this. ”

Zhang Shao was speechless and didn't bother to say more.

But Zhang Shao stopped talking, and Gao Shun, who had always been stuffy, began to confide in him constantly:

"To be honest, General Xun and many people in our army are very curious and respectful of your brother. I think that your brother is indeed asking for the people's life, and if he really wins the world, he should be good to the people. ”

Zhang Shao grinned, obviously uncomfortable with Gao Shun's words.

What do you mean by should? I, the Taishan Army, uphold the will of all the people, whether it is now or in the future, I will serve them wholeheartedly.

Gao Shun also saw what Zhang Shao meant, and sighed:

"Don't believe it. You found out no, in fact, General Xun and your brother are all the way, but he is not as bold as your brother. ”

Zhang Shao subconsciously wanted to refute, but when he thought about it carefully, it was true.

They all do things that others don't understand in the eyes of others, and they are only responsible for the ideals in their hearts.

……

When Zhang Shao returned to Zhang Chong's throne safely, Zhang Chong was talking to the military officials who counted the results of the battle.

Zhang Shao glanced at Dian Wei and Li Damu, and when he saw them signaling to him with their eyes, he waited aside.

Looking at his brother's back, Zhang Shaofu thought a lot.

He sometimes felt that his brother was a stranger. In his memory, his brother was just a very ordinary villager, who read a little book, had a little Meng, and had never even left Jinan since he was a child.

But everything changed when the elder brother was requisitioned and lost. Since then, my brother has become more and more powerful, as if nothing in the world can stump him.

This made it difficult for him to think about his brother, maybe his brother was really the messenger of Huang Tian, the will of heaven.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shao was full of awe of Zhang Chong.

At this time, the elder brother's words came:

"Little brother, after you go up, what did Xun Cheng say?"

Zhang Shao woke up, looked up and saw that his brother Wang was looking at him with a smile, and was busy talking about the above things one by one.

In the end, Zhang Shao said with pity:

"That military official named Gao Shun is still weird, but it's a pity that he has to be buried with Xun Cheng."

Zhang Chong's face was strange, and he asked rhetorically:

"Little brother, why do you think Xun Cheng will let you down after you accidentally leak your identity?"

Zhang Shao said very reasonably:

"It's not surprising, then Xun Cheng is really a martial artist, it seems that there are heroes in the family."

Zhang Chong smiled and deliberately mentioned:

"Yes, then Xun Cheng is really upright, but what about others? Why did others let you go? You don't think that the so-called unscrupulous demeanor is more important than the lives of a thousand people, do you? ”

At this time, Zhang Shao hesitated and said:

"What does that mean for us?"

Zhang Chong touched Zhang Shao's head and said:

"The reason why the armies can let you come down safely is not because they are upright enough, but because someone has already paid the price for you."

The young Zhang Shao couldn't understand this, but the generals did, so they waited with Zhang Chong.

And Xu Huang in the crowd regretted in his heart:

"It's a pity, it's also a character who can be compared with me Xu Gongming."

Little by little, the weather is getting colder and colder.

At this time, a group of generals came down from above, with white scarves tied on their foreheads, and their steps were heavy.

Zhang Shao's eyes were sharp, and he saw from afar that it was Gao Shun who was the leader in the crowd, so he took the initiative to introduce Zhang Chong:

"Brother Wang, that person is Gao Shun."

Zhang Chong suddenly, following Zhang Shao's pointing, Gao Shun was holding a flag in his hand, and like the few men behind, he was naked.

At this time, a sentence suddenly appeared in his mind:

"Invincible, invincible, this high Shun!"

In the wind and snow, Zhang Chong took the initiative to meet them with a group of military officials, and before they arrived, Gao Shun knelt on the snow, and Lang Lang's voice sounded:

"Gao Shun and a group of thousands of officials, willing to surrender King Zhang!"

The goose feathers and snow fell on the backs of these Han soldiers, and it became thicker and thicker.

Zhang Chong hurriedly bent down, but instead of helping Gao Shun, he knocked down the snow on his body.

At this time, Zhang Shao came over excitedly, grabbed Gao Shun's neck and said:

"You see, I told you to come down early. Our Taishan army treats prisoners equally, and does not beat or scold. ”

The young man was excited, but soon he noticed that there seemed to be one missing:

"Lao Gao, where are you General Xun? Why didn't they come down together? ”

Soon, Zhang Shao came to make up for it himself:

"Oh, the whole army in the back? This can't work, Lao Gao, you don't follow the rules, how can you surrender without the Lord coming forward? ”

The scene was very awkward and solemn at one point.

Gao Shun, who had been kneeling, replied coldly:

"When the last general sent General Xiao Zhang down, the chief general of our department, Xun Cheng, killed himself, and before he died, he asked us to live well and leave some blood for Bingzhou Dingkou."

Zhang Shao's mouth opened wide, and at this time he realized what the price of his brother was what he said.

Xiao Zhang is actually not stupid, on the contrary, since Zhang Chong's incident, he intends to recruit Yingda as a professor for the children of Taishan Army. And in this process, Zhang Shao received a first-class education.

It's just that Xiao Zhang has a pure temperament and little experience, so he seems so unwitting.

Therefore, Zhang Shao quickly understood the whole story.

At the beginning, his brother asked him to send wine to Xun Cheng, just to recruit him. And Xun Cheng didn't express anything, indicating that Xun Cheng was hesitant on both sides at that time, after all, the poem that his brother gave to Xun Cheng was indeed full of sincerity.

But why did Xun Cheng say "decapitated general" in the end? It is very likely that he leaked his news by mistake. So Xun Chengcheng at that time had a will to die?

However, Xun Cheng has no kindness with himself, why would he kill himself for himself?

No!

Zhang Shao quickly realized that Xun Cheng was not for himself but for the more than a thousand robes.

Xun Cheng should know very well that those generals will definitely use themselves as a threat. But he wasn't sure if Zhang Chong would give in.

But no matter what, because of Zhang Shao, more than a thousand Han troops will definitely stand on the opposite side of the Taishan army. And when the time comes, it is self-evident who will be the final loser.

So Xun Cheng committed suicide and left a testament before he died. It can not only settle Zhang Shao's life, but also the righteousness of the whole robe.

At this time, Zhang Shao finally understood what the price of his brother was.

At this moment, Zhang Shao seemed to have grown up all of a sudden, and he began to step into an adult world.

It's not pretty, it's even a little dirty, but everybody has to go there, sooner or later.

Zhang Chong didn't know his little brother's thoughts, he solemnly took the blood-stained banner and sigil from Gao Shun's hand, and then said:

"You are worthy of the honor of your warriors, and needless to say, you and your subordinates will be well accommodated. There is ginger soup and a healer in the camp who can help you. ”

Gao Shun's eyes were very responsible, he looked at this hero he longed for in his heart, and saw that he was such a humble valley, which made him even more sure that the person in front of him was a hero who could truly restore the mountains and rivers.

But at the same time, thinking of Xun Cheng, who was spilled with blood, he felt sorry for it.

Lord Xun will be a good man, a good samurai, and a good general.

Suddenly, Gao Shun remembered what his own general said that day, saying that Wang Yun wanted to make the blood of the people of Bingzhou flow. Then contact Xun Cheng to let them survive before he died, in order to leave a share of the blood of the people of Bingzhou.

Gao Shun's surprising anger in his heart:

"For example, Wang Yun's dog thief, for the glory and wealth of his family and surname, he has to sell his villagers. What a shame! ”

So, he thought that his own generals Guo Lin and Guo's troops were still surrounded in another battlefield, so he took the initiative to ask Zhang Chong for help:

"King Zhang, I am willing to recruit the Guo family for your army."

Zhang Chong hesitated for a moment when he heard this, he was not worried about this Gao Shun's deception, but he was not at ease with the Guo family's trilogy.

He hesitated for a moment, then spoke:

"You don't know, this Yangqu Guo clan still has something to do with our army. Then the Guo clan may not fall. ”

But I didn't want Gao Shun to insist:

"King Zhang, I know all this, the grievances between the Guo clan and your army are well known to the soldiers of Bingzhou, and it is precisely because of this that if you can recruit his troops, it will be of great benefit to the subsequent war."

Zhang Chong nodded, understanding what Gao Shun meant.

He thought for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement:

"Yes, Gao Jun, let's try, but I want to hear the truth from you, that is, why do you want to help our army?"

Gao Shun holds his fist:

"King Zhang, the last general doesn't want to die with the children of the state."

So, Gao Shun once again turned around and went in the direction where Guo's tribe was, only this time his upper body was draped in a cotton coat, and he was no longer naked.

Mianyu was Zhang Chong's, indicating his intentions, and Gao Shun understood.

About two minutes later, Guo's banner fluttered down in the wind and snow, and then his 3,000 soldiers abandoned their weapons and surrendered under the leadership of Guo Lin and Gao Shun.

As a result, the battle of Yangqu ended, and there was no Han soldier north of Taiyuan so far.

The Tarzan army drove straight in.
