Luowucheng, a key pass from Hengshan to the northwest hinterland, now has a much lower status than before because the entire Suide area has fallen into the hands of the Western Army. With the buffer of the Suide area, Luowucheng needs to guard against opponents

, only the direction east of Hedong is left, and the pressure is undoubtedly much lighter.

The goose-feathered snow is falling, and everything as far as the eye can see is white. Occasionally, you can see a little bit of green. Those are some green pines that are unwilling to be buried. They work hard to poke their heads out and make this white world more beautiful.

A touch of bright color.

The main road has long been buried in snow. At this time of year, there are basically no people walking around. Even the businessmen have closed their doors and are at home for the winter. Standing on the top of the city, sometimes you can see rows of insects such as mountain insects.

The footprints of wild beasts.

The inaccessibility of human beings allows these ferocious beasts to dare to appear in the human world.

A few soldiers built a simple fire pit with bricks on top of the city. Next to it was a pile of collected firewood. The flames looked a little dim in the wind and snow, and the heat was naturally insufficient, but it was better than nothing.

.

The military discipline of the Western Army is strangely strict.

There is a guard station that changes every two hours. If you hide in a gatehouse or somewhere to take shelter from the wind and snow, and are discovered by a superior officer or military judge, you will be fined and starved, or beaten to death. If you miss the mark, it is not uncommon for you to lose your head.

thing.

Fortunately, Shangguan can say that those military judges are sent out by the Xingqing Mansion. They are not responsible to their own ministers, but only to the general manager's office. After a military judge takes office, an inspection team will be established.

They are every soldier's nightmare.

I heard that this system was created by Chang Shi Zhang Yuan, which made all the officers and soldiers hate Zhang Chang Shi.

Because these military judges are not only responsible for the discipline of the army, they also supervise the officers' illegal activities and supervise the officers of various departments.

For soldiers, these military judges are a double-edged sword.

Because of their presence, soldiers must maintain strict military discipline at all times to avoid being caught by them.

But also because of their existence, the soldiers' pay was always paid on time, and the monthly meals were provided according to the standards meticulously. The officers did not dare to steal any rations from them.

Supervision is public, and everyone gradually gets used to it.

A group of soldiers were on duty at the city gate. Two of them stood up straight and stared ahead. Even if there was nothing in front of them, they had to stare.

Others were huddled against the city wall, using the little fire to keep warm.

After the time of one stick of incense, everyone changed it.

After two hours, you can go back to the warm barracks and drink a bowl of ginger soup.

"Commander, there's someone!" the soldier who was watching suddenly shouted.

The three people warming themselves by the fire all stood up at once, and all five pairs of eyes looked at the main road facing the city gate.

A bloated figure was slowly walking towards the city gate.

With a bow on his back, a knife on his waist, and a spear in his hand, he was approaching the city gate step by step.

It was just one person, and everyone in the city felt relieved.

But looking at this guy, he seems to be a fierce man.

Because he was wearing a tiger skin, the colorful fur looked familiar. It seemed to be the big insect that had wandered around their city two days ago. His body was quite a bit longer than the average tiger.

To begin with, even though it was freezing cold and food was scarce, the fur on the big insect was still shiny and slippery. Snow fell on it, and if it was shaken casually, no traces could be seen on the satin-like fur.

.

At the beginning, everyone was planning to go out and capture this big insect.

No matter how powerful the tiger is, if it encounters an army with a large number of people and various weapons, it will naturally not be an opponent.

If these soldiers hadn't wanted to capture the tiger alive and damage the fur, the tiger would have been shot into a sieve.

But now, this big insect was taken down by the big man in front of them. Looking at the fur, there was no damage at all, which made the soldiers gasp.

The man looked up.

All the soldiers in the city shuddered involuntarily.

The look confirmed that this is someone we cannot afford to offend.

"Who is here? Do you have the customs clearance certificate?" The team leader mustered up the courage to reveal half of his head. He was a little worried that the man below him would suddenly shoot him with an arrow.

"Tell Zhang Yunsheng, General Zhang, that Wang Jun is here to visit!" the man below said loudly.

Who is Wang Jun? Of course the soldiers don't know.

But this man actually called their general by his first name, which was obviously unusual.

Zhang Yunsheng is the general of the Left Wing Divine Warrior Division, one of the eight major divisions of the Western Army. He is ranked among the top ten extravagant figures in the Western Army. However, the man in front of him seems to be indifferent to him.

"Please wait a moment, strong man, I will go and report it now!" The team leader decided to hand over the problem to his superiors.

Zhang Yunsheng was hugging each other in a warm room, drinking and playing with several concubines.

Different from some other generals in the army, Zhang Yunsheng no longer cares about how to hone his martial arts. In his opinion, sitting in his position and making the right choice can lead to arrogant martial arts.

Much more useful.

The Western Army is now gaining momentum. Although it has been severely damaged in the two battles with the Liao and Song Dynasties, its vitality has not been lost and it will not take long to replenish it.

Having surrendered to the Western Army for many years, Zhang Yunsheng has become very familiar with the construction of the Western Army's military system.

Not only the military judge system, but also the training of their reserve officers and reserve soldiers are different from any system Zhang Yunsheng has seen before.

But it's more effective.

Such a system allows the Western Army to quickly return to its heyday as long as its skeleton is not interrupted.

This is also the reason why Zhang Yunsheng is so determined that he no longer thinks about things.

He believed that one day Xiao Ding would really be able to dominate the world.

He doesn't do it now, probably because he thinks the time has not come yet and doesn't want to be the target of public criticism.

Zhang Yunsheng really wanted to see with his own eyes how far Xiao Ding could go.

As a superior, Xiao Ding is undoubtedly very qualified, with great charisma and clear rewards and punishments. A demoted general like Zhang Yunsheng has not been treated lightly by Xiao Ding.

Such a leader is undoubtedly worth following.

Upon hearing the report below, Zhang Yunsheng couldn't help but be stunned.

"Wang Jun, that Wang Jun?" he asked.

The soldiers who came in to report saw several disheveled and beautiful girls in the room, their faces were red, and they lowered their heads and said: "The city gate reported, the man didn't say anything else, just said his name was Wang.

hansome."

Zhang Yunsheng stood up, straightened his clothes, and said: "If it is really this Wang Jun, I'm afraid something big will happen over there in Hedong. Haha, if this is really the case, this time I can properly sue Fang Si, and they actually

I didn’t even notice it. I let you find fault with me!”

The soldier was a little confused. Seeing Zhang Yunsheng walking around the room, he glanced at the half-dressed woman in Luo Shang and quickly lowered his head.

"Please, please invite this strong man into the city!" Zhang Yunsheng said.

Wrapped in a fox fur, Zhang Yunsheng stood at the door of the house. When he came out of the warm room, he was shivered by the cold wind. It took him a while to get used to it.

Within a moment, Zhang Yunsheng saw a burly man striding over, escorted by a group of soldiers.

His hair was disheveled and tied up with a piece of cloth. The beard on his face had not been shaved for an unknown amount of time. It was a mess and tangled together. His clothes were bulky and he wore a piece of tiger skin that was not fishy or fishy, ​​but Zhang Yunsheng could still recognize him at a glance.

This person was none other than the former deputy commander of the Guangrui Army and Xiao Ding's former deputy, Wang Jun.

"General Wang, why is it you? What happened?" Zhang Yunsheng's surprise was not pretended, because not long ago, the intelligence collection produced by the Zhifang Division specifically for these people specifically mentioned Wang.

Jun has been appointed as the governor of Hedong.

Because Zhang Yunsheng was facing Hedong Road, the information given to Zhang Yunsheng also specifically introduced Wang Jun's personal characteristics, with the purpose of making Zhang Yunsheng be wary of this person.

Wang Jun is still very good at fighting.

A high-ranking officer of the Song Dynasty who was responsible for all the military forces suddenly appeared in his place in such a state of embarrassment. Something big had happened in Hedong.

"Say it inside!" Wang Jun said without any politeness and directly handed over his hand.

Wang Jun's body smelled so bad that several beauties immediately covered their noses. However, Zhang Yunsheng immediately let these people know the importance of the visitor, lifted up his skirt, and quickly disappeared from their eyes.

"Please prepare some good horses for me right away. I'm going to Xingqing Mansion to see the general manager!" Wang Jun said bluntly: "In addition, General Zhang, please prepare supplies for me along the way."

Zhang Yunsheng looked at the other party and said thoughtfully: "Wang Qianjia, what happened in Hedong? Can't you tell me about it?"

"I can't tell you. Because you made a deal with Hedong Liu Quanyi, and I still can't trust you for the time being." Wang Jun said without concealment.

Zhang Yunsheng was stunned, but then smiled and said: "You even know this? But at this point, I am not afraid of your words. It doesn't matter even if the manager knows, I have not betrayed the Western Army in the slightest. Everything,

All for the victory of the Western Army."

"But it is true that you have colluded with Liu Quanyi!" Wang Jun said: "General Zhang, this is a serious and urgent matter. Please forgive me!"

"Since you don't trust me, how dare you come to me? Aren't you afraid that I will kill you with a knife?" Zhang Yunsheng said with a smile.

"You don't know how!" Wang Jundao: "You have always been a smart man. This is how you fight and how you behave. General Zhang, I signed up at the gate of the city. I am afraid that many people already know that there is

Such a person comes to find you."
