Red Makan.

Li Tieniu aimed the big knife at Ren Zhanbiao's back and threw it hard, hitting it with one blow.

Due to the excessive force, the big knife penetrated through Ren Zhanbiao's back, and the head of the knife was exposed from his front heart.

Ren Zhanbiao was killed on the spot, and the dead body fell to the ground.

Tang Dalong looked at it, "Oops! At that time, he fainted.

"Tang Dalong, wake up!" That Xiahou Zhong ran back again, slapped Tang Dalong's front heart with Li Tieniu, and beat him on the back, and it took a long time for Tang Dalong to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Occupy the standard, if you are disobedient, you will have today's disaster." Tang Dalong cried and said, crying so well that he was not sad.

"Chief Tang, why are you here for this? If Li Tieniu hadn't tripped you just now, you would have been beaten to death by him, what are you sorry for him now? Xiahou said persuasively.

"Blame me for not cultivating him well, educating him well, letting him go astray and go to a dead end, I'm guilty!" Tang Dalong cried and blamed himself.

"Chief Tang, it's all my fault that I'm too heavy, you don't say hello early, if you say hello early, I'll keep a living, you see this thing." Li Tieniu said.

"I don't blame you for this, he is to blame, he is to blame!" Tang Dalong said.

Later, Tang Dalong ordered people to bring Ren Zhanbiao's body back to the horse team camp to resume his life, and all the prisoners were also brought back to the horse team camp to be disposed of by Camp Commander Zhang.

Subsequently, Zhang Tianhe instructed to transport all the guns, ammunition, cannons, shells, gold and silver treasures of Hongmakan back to the horse team camp, and all the family funds accumulated by Ren Zhanbiao belonged to Zhang Tianhe, Zhang Tianhe made a windfall, and he only handed over some worthless broken copper and iron to the government for payment.

Hongmakan was victorious, and Zhang Xiluan was also very happy and reported the matter to the governor Zhao Erxun.

Soon, Zhao Yaxun made a reply and ordered all the captives in Hongmakan to be executed, and Zhang Tianhe was promoted to the commander of the third battalion and immediately took office.

On this day, Zhang Tianhe came to visit the prefect Zhang Xiluan.

"Commander Zhang, congratulations, Battalion Commander Zhang has been promoted to the commander of the third battalion, I want to say hello to you." Zhang Xiluan got up and left his seat to greet him with a smile on his face, and said first.

"Master Zhang, rejoice!" Zhang Tianhe was full of spring breeze and full of energy, and then took out a silver ticket from his arms and handed it to Zhang Xiluan, "This is to honor your lordship, and I have also selected ten beauties and ten good horses for you, please smile." ”

"Oh, you're fighting in front, and I didn't make any effort, what's so embarrassing?" Zhang Xiluan unfolded the silver ticket and saw that it was 50,000 taels of silver.

"Lord Zhang, you don't have to be polite, without your full support, it will be difficult for us to win, this mere gift is nothing, if you win the battle again in the future, there will be more benefits, I want to honor you!" Zhang Xiluan was also very happy when he saw Zhang Tianhe's generous shot.

At noon, Zhang Xiluan warmly welcomed Zhang Tianhe.

During the banquet, Zhang Xiluan said: "Our prefect belongs to the civil official yamen, I am a civil official, you are a military general, we cooperate with each other, Commander Zhang, work hard, your future in the future is limitless!" ”

Zhang Tianhe also said politely: "It depends on Lord Zhang to take care of me." ”

"Commander Zhang, everyone takes care of each other." Zhang Xiluan said with a smile.

On this day, Zhang Tianhe held a meeting with everyone.

"Brothers, this time, we were able to defeat Ren Zhanbiao and win the battle of Red Makan, thanks to the brothers who united as one and fought bravely to kill the enemy, here, I would like to express my gratitude to everyone! Anyone who participates in this operation will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver, and the sentry commander and deputy sentry commander will be doubled! Zhang Tianhe said with a smile.

Everyone was happy, and those brothers who did not participate in this battle were very envious, thinking that if they had the opportunity next time, they must actively participate in the battle in order to get more rewards.

"Here, I would like to solemnly commend the five people, it is precisely because of their outstanding performance that we were able to achieve this great victory without blood: first, it was Zhen Sifei who offered advice and suggestions to win over Xiahouzhong, secondly, after Xiahouzhong returned to our government, he actively cooperated with the government's battle plan, killed the twenty people who stood guard in Hongmakan, and at the same time blocked the arsenal of Hongmakan, creating conditions for our victory in the battle, third, Li Tieniu fought hard and occupied the standard, and killed him on the spot, which was indispensable; Fourth, Ma Longtan and Sun Baojin performed well, relying on their former prestige in Hongmakan to capture all the bandits in the Hongmakan camp and control the situation; For the above five people, each person will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver. Zhang Tianhe said.

Everyone applauded and celebrated.

"In addition, Shangfeng has now appointed me as the commander of the third battalion, then, you will also be promoted, and I will announce below: The battalion commander of the first battalion is Tang Dalong, and the deputy battalion commander Cai Yongzhen; Liu Bodu, the battalion commander of the second battalion, and Ma Longtan, the deputy battalion commander; Li Sizhe, the battalion commander of the third battalion, and Sun Baojin, the deputy battalion commander; Li Sizhe did not return to the team for the time being, and Sun Baojin acted as the battalion commander. ”

Everyone applauded again and congratulated them.

"Commander Zhang, I have two things to say." Tang Dalong said.

"Brother Tang, how are your injuries?" Zhang Tianhe looked at him and asked.

"Thank you Commander Zhang for your concern, it's okay, I'm all skin injuries, it's no big deal."

"If you have anything to say, please say it directly."

"I'm sorry everyone, although we won the battle of Red Makan this time and killed Ren Zhanbiao, but we also took a great risk to achieve victory, therefore, I feel that I am deeply guilty of teaching such an apprentice and causing trouble to everyone," Tang Dalong said guiltily, "Where do I have any face to be a battalion commander, let me be a big soldier, I will be satisfied, therefore, please Commander Zhang take back his order and choose someone else to be the commander of a battalion." ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but express their admiration for Tang Dalong's humble spirit in the face of honor and power.

"Brother Tang, you have a deep affection for Ren Zhanbiao, it can be said that you want to pay, not in return, everyone can see it, you hope that he will change from evil to good, and be a new man, but he can't listen, he insists on going his own way, he has to go to a desperate road, this is what he found, it has nothing to do with you, how a person's road will go, he chooses it himself, you have done your best, and repeatedly admonished him, he doesn't listen, who can blame him?" Zhang Tianhe said, "Who else is more suitable for this battalion commander's position besides you?" ”

"Camp Commander Tang, don't shirk it." That's what everybody says.

"Okay, since everyone says so, then I will temporarily act as the commander of the first battalion, and if there are other more suitable candidates, I will immediately abdicate and make way for Xian." Tang Dalong said.
