When Zhang Tianlin led a large army into the city.

When he heard the news, he didn't object, but thought that Lao Zhu was doing the right thing.

As long as Li Quanzhong is still willing to follow Dashun, then he is not a person who defects to the enemy.

Since it's your own person, of course you have to take it with you.

He, Zhang Tianlin, would not leave the friendly army in the rear and die in vain.

After a short rest in Shuozhou City.

Everyone continued to hurry non-stop and went straight to Qilan.

As soon as they arrived in Qilan, everyone was surprised to find that there was an old acquaintance of theirs.

"General Zhang? Aren't you following Your Majesty? ”

"Why did you get to Lanlan?"

Zhang Tianlin looked at the man in front of him suspiciously, and asked.

"Your Majesty has safely crossed the river and arrived in Xi'an."

"I'm here for ......"

Zhang Neng, the general of Houying Guoyi, began to explain to Zhang Tianlin.

It turned out that he only stayed in Shanxi in order to contain the stragglers in Zhili and Shanxi, so that they could be reorganized and continue to defend Shanxi.

On the other hand, it is also to peek into the Hedong battlefield.

To be precise, if Taiyuan is lost, he is the last line of defense in Shanxi.

Lao Zhu, who had been standing on Zhang Tianlin's left side, heard this.

His face was a little puzzled.

The main force of the rear battalion has already followed Li Zicheng to Xi'an, but now they let Zhang Neng come here to contain the rout, do they think that once Taiyuan is lost, he can still block the Tartars here?

Just those stragglers with containment codes? Isn't this pure self-deception!

What does Li Guo think? Can Zhang Neng come to death?

Although he was dissatisfied with Li Guo in his heart, Lao Zhu did not say it.

In any case, this is a matter for the rear camp, and it is not something that they can control over the camp.

Moreover, he is not the commander of the camp, and he is not qualified to say that Li Guo, who is two levels higher than him.

What Lao Zhu could think of, Zhang Tianlin naturally thought of it.

But he didn't do anything else.

just let Zhang Neng continue to carry out Li Guo's orders, and at the same time ask Zhang Neng to protect their way back.

lest when Taiyuan could not hold on in the end, they would not even have the direction to retreat.

Later, after consulting with Zhang Neng, a thousand people were drawn from his troops to join them.

More than 10,000 people were barely raised.

So they moved east and settled in Lou Fu.

Lou Fu was in the northwest of Taiyuan Province, and as long as the Tartars attacked Taiyuan, they could help defend the city and create chaos for the Tartars.

Let the Tartars not be able to attack Taiyuan single-mindedly.

And if the Tartars want to solve them first, then Chen Yongfu in Taiyuan will not eat dry rice.

I shouldn't be watching them get eaten by the Tartars.

Well, I guess so......

……

In the evening, after a day and a night of rapid marching, the camp was finally able to rest.

Lao Zhu also lay in bed very early.

However, there were people who didn't want him to have a good rest.

"General Zhu! The marshal told you to go to the camp to discuss the matter! ”

An order directly made Lao Zhu sit up from the bed in an instant.

He knew that Zhang Tianlin would not usually call him for no reason.

And once he is called, there must be something big.

So the dazed old Zhu immediately got up quickly and walked towards the conference hall.

"Come on! Drink! ”

As soon as he entered the door, Lao Zhu felt a strong smell of wine coming to his face.

I saw Ke Tianxiang and Zhang Hei face, as well as the captains of various departments, eating meat and drinking wine in big bowls.

There's also a group of dancing girls dancing down there.

And Zhang Heiface, who was drinking, immediately shouted when he saw Lao Zhu coming in.

"Our smart Mars is here, hahahaha, everyone is not welcome yet!"

"Oh~~~~"

Suddenly, the sound of a bunch of cups colliding came and went.

And Lao Zhu was a little confused for a while at this strange nickname.

What the heck?

Smart Mars?

Is this talking about me?

When did I become a wise Mars?

"Come, sit here."

Just when Lao Zhu was puzzled, Ke Tianxiang pointed to the vacant seat next to Lao Zhu.

Obviously, it was reserved for him.

So Lao Zhu was not polite and walked over with doubts.

After Lao Zhu sat down, Ke Tianxiang said softly.

"I just looked at you, did I not understand your nickname?"

"My nickname?"

Lao Zhu was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Ke Tianxiang and said.

"Do we still have nicknames?"

"Of course."

Ke Tianxiang replied, and then began to speak with memories in his eyes.

"If I'm not mistaken, you only joined Dashun in seventeen years, right?"

"Yes."

"Then you don't know that it's normal for us to go through the camp, or the whole tradition of the rebel army."

Tradition?

The rebels still have traditions?

Lao Zhu was a little puzzled, he had never seen a traditional rebel army.

"Do you know why we called the camp?"

Ke Tianxiang asked after drinking a glass of wine.

"I don't know."

Speaking of this question, Lao Zhu became interested.

He had long wanted to ask why their unit was called Guoying.

If you want to call it, shouldn't it be called Lin Ying or Tian Ying?

Well, that's a bit too much.

But Lao Zhu is quite curious about this matter.

Before, because he had been running around, he didn't have free time to ask.

Now that he is free, he is naturally ready to listen to it.

It was because the general's nickname was "Passing the Sky Star" that we called the battalion. ”

Ke Tianxiang came to Lao Zhu's side and said with a smug face.

"The tradition of our army is that every lieutenant has a nickname, such as general, such as a black face, oh yes."

His nickname was "The Black Face". ”

"And what's his name?"

Hearing this, Lao Zhu looked at Ke Tianxiang curiously.

"I don't know."

"Don't know?"

Seeing that Lao Zhu was very surprised, Ke Tianxiang explained.

"Blackface used to be born in a dry coal kiln, because his face is very black every day, so his nickname is "Blackface". ”

"Over time, everyone called him that, and no one knew his real name."

"Is that so......"

Lao Zhu stroked his little beard slightly, and suddenly thought of a person, so he hurriedly asked again.

"What's the name of King Chuang?"

"It's called King Chuang."

Lao Zhu didn't call Li Zi His Majesty, and Ke Tianxiang didn't care, because they were also a little unaccustomed to calling His Majesty.

In private, he is often called King Chuang.

Only on formal occasions do they address His Majesty.

Right now, it's a private banquet, so naturally you don't need to be too particular.

"I see."

After listening to Ke Tianxiang's words, Lao Zhu easily understood this tradition of Dashun.

In the early days, the army was a kind of system and atmosphere of heroes in the green forest.

And every green forest hero who occupies the mountain is basically a loud name.

In order to make people sound mighty and domineering, it is dignified to say.

This situation was often encountered by Lao Zhu when he participated in the Red Turban Army in his previous life.

However, these are some unpopular rogues who will do this, such as Chen Youliang, Liu Futong, Han Shantong and others, and they will not take any nickname at all.

They will only think that this nickname pulls down their status!
