After saying that, he started to walk but stopped, hesitating a little. Seeing this, Liu Haojia knew what he was thinking, so he smiled and waved his hand and said: "You can take these heads away directly, and as for the money, go directly to the logistics officer to get it."
Hearing that Liu Haojia asked him to take the head away, Zhang Chaoyong was completely relieved and said hurriedly: "A little money is nothing, why should the Marquis pay for it! This matter has been handled by the lower officials, just sit back and sit back!"
The official arranged a banquet in the city to welcome the Marquis. And he must be rewarded."
Liu Haojia shook his head and said: "I won't go to the banquet right now. I'm really tired from running around these days! But you can ask the officers below, they should be interested."
Zhang Chaoyong did not dare to say any more, turned around and went out to order someone to take the head away. Then he hurried back to Zhangjiakou and ordered his soldiers to collect everything useful to the army and send it to the military camp. In a short time, Zhangjiakou was in trouble.
Jump!
In a short time, Zhang Chaoyong collected truckloads of lime, salt, grain, vegetables, fruits, and a large number of cattle and sheep and sent them to the camp. As for the money, he would naturally not ask for it. With military merit, you will get a position.
, he won’t be able to earn back much money by then! Besides, guarding the position of Zhangjiakou, he has already been extremely rich. Now it’s time for him to pay some blood!
After a large amount of things were transported to the military camp, the soldiers were naturally very happy because they could have a good meal again! Especially when Liu Haojia ordered that there would be enough wine tonight, the soldiers were even more excited! But they had to do all the work first,
The biggest job among them is to prepare the head with salt.
However, most of the soldiers in the Wu'an Army were new recruits and were not proficient in making heads. The people sent by Zhang Chaoyong were very skilled in these businesses, so they naturally taught them step by step. It was completed quickly.
Then one of the soldiers found Zhang Chaoyong. As soon as the two met, Zhang Chaoyong asked: "How many heads are there in the camp?"
The soldier said: "Master, there is no exact number for this, but it is estimated that it is at least one thousand seventy-eight, and it is possible that there are two thousand!"
Zhang Chaoyong was shocked when he heard this and said: "How can there be so many? How many of them belong to old women?"
The soldier thought for a while and said, "There are about two to three hundred heads, but there are not many women, most of them are old people."
Zhang Chaoyong took a breath when he heard this and said: "It seems that he has really fought hard for two times!"
The soldier said at this time: "Master, I talked to the soldiers when they were cutting the heads. I can see the battle process clearly. It was a tough battle! And they said that after the attack on the camp, there were many heads of women and children on the battlefield.
None of them were chopped down, but those who dared to fight with them were chopped down!"
After saying that, he told Zhang Chaoyong exactly what he had heard. Cold sweat broke out all over his forehead! He knew that he had no chance of escaping from the siege of the three tribes, let alone
He even dared to touch the lair of one of them and kill them!
However, this strengthened his determination to make friends with Liu Haojia. Thinking of this, he wrote a letter and asked the soldiers to send him away immediately. Then he personally invited Liu Haojia to a banquet.
Naturally, Liu Haojia refused to go. After all, their identities were too different. However, many of his officers went. Naturally, Zhang Chaoyong invited people to accompany him, and also invited people to sing and dance for the fun. The two sides had a great time drinking and drinking together!
Early the next morning, Liu Haojia led his army to Datong. The march was much faster along the way. After all, they were walking within the Ming Dynasty and did not need to be on guard at all times.
When the army arrived at Datong, the military attache stationed in Datong was already waiting outside the city gate. The military attache stationed in Datong was also from the Xungui family, and his surname was Zhang. He was a relative of Zhang Chaoyong, the Zhangjiakou guard general.
Zhang Jingping. When he was young, he was knighted by the court because of his prowess in fighting. He was an earl.
However, Zhang Jingping's Zhang family and Zhang Siwei's Zhang family are not the same family. But the same thing is that they have been entrenched in Shanxi for a long time, especially in Datong, and their roots are extremely deep! They are just one in culture and one in military.
When Liu Haojia saw Zhang Jingping personally waiting for him outside the city, he naturally rushed to meet him. After all, they were all from the noble lineage, so they naturally had to go closer.
But when he rode up to Zhang Jingping, the person who greeted him was not a tough military general, but a fat middle-aged man standing next to the carriage!
Zhang Jingping was wearing a robe of exquisite materials and a gauze hat on his head. There was also a piece of beautiful jade embedded in his belt. If it weren't for the military attachés and personal servants at all levels standing beside him, Liu Haojia would have thought that he was a rich country man!
However, Liu Haojia did not show contempt. Instead, he jumped off his horse from a distance and walked up quickly, taking the lead in saluting. Although his title was higher than Zhang Jingping's, he was the host who came to welcome guests, so he had to be more polite.
When Zhang Jingping saw Liu Haojia taking the lead in saluting, he stepped forward with a smile, supported Liu Haojia with both hands and said, "Master Hou is really too polite!"
Liu Haojia smiled and said: "You are a senior and I am a junior, so it is appropriate to give gifts!"
After the two of them were polite, Zhang Jingping introduced the generals around him to Liu Haojia, and then ordered the army to rest in a camp outside the city. The officers were accompanied by his men and went directly into the city. As for
Liu Haojia arranged it directly in his own Earl's Mansion.
Liu Haojia felt that this arrangement was very good, and it was natural to be respectful rather than obey orders. When he arrived at the Earl's Mansion, there would be people waiting for him to bathe and change clothes. However, this time he went out on patrol without any other clothes, so he simply wore a warrior uniform and entered the living room.
When he entered the living room, Zhang Jingping was already waiting there. He was dressed differently from just now. He was actually wearing a scholar's green robe and was twisting a string of rosary beads in his hand! If it weren't for the protruding joints in his hands, there was still a trace of
Liu Haojia would have thought he was an old Confucian scholar!
When Liu Haojia looked at the decoration in the living room, it was extremely luxurious! Just a set of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum screens was worth a lot of money! Even Liu Haojia was not willing to put it in his home.
After Liu Haojia looked around inside and outside, he secretly sighed in his heart, this family is probably in ruins! The Zhang Jingping in front of him is not the hero he was in the frontier army back then! Maybe his bones have been softened by being in Wenrou Township!
When Zhang Jingping saw him come in, he stood up and greeted him to sit down. Then a beautiful maid brought towels and tea. While the two of them were chatting, wine and food were served like a flowing stream! In addition to the specialties of Datong, there were also delicacies from other places.
, there are also dry goods and seafood at the beach! I am afraid that it will cost more than a hundred taels of silver to buy this table!
