What Zhang Xiaowu didn't expect was that when the wounded soldiers heard that the Mucheng defenders were choosing people to go north to rescue Jincheng, they all asked for battle, saying that they must choose themselves. A blood letter asking for battle was sent to Zu Gongmao, which made Zu Gongmao very angry.
first two
The war horse was not ready yet. There were more letters of invitation than the war horses. A wounded soldier with one arm ran to Zu Gongmao and said, "Sir, I can defeat eight of them by myself. Please let me go back and rescue Pao Ze."
Brothers."
"Let me see what you are capable of." Zu Gongmao kicked him, and the man fell to the ground and shouted: "Sir, you hit me, you must take me away."
Grandfather smiled angrily: "Damn it, are you trying to flirt with me?"
Zhang Xiaowu was deeply moved by the wounded soldiers' request to rescue Pao Ze. This is the real Han army. They are the best in the army. They embody the patriotism, tenacity, bloodiness and bravery of the Han army. But
Zhang Xiaowu also knew that although these people had high morale, their bodies did not allow it, so he asked the wounded soldiers to recover from their illness before they could participate in the selection.
Is it dragging one leg to kill the dog barbarians? Zhang Xiaowu's army was there to save 30,000 Han troops, not to beg for mercy.
Chen Qing ran to the garrison without incident and said that he had been ready to sacrifice himself. If he was not brought with him in this battle, he would organize his own soldiers to go there. Zhang Xiaowu told Guancheng that if he saw Chen Qing in the future, he would
Close the door and don't let him in.
A few days later, the remaining 8,000 exiled prisoners from the princelings were escorted here, eight days earlier than originally planned. There were more than 50,000 remaining princelings, of which 42,000 were released by His Majesty's general amnesty. The remaining
Eight thousand people are all family members of felons.
The escorting General Qian Che was very curious about Zhang Xiaowu and handed him another letter. Zhang Xiaowu took the letter and saw that the letter writer was Zhang Biao, but he did not know who Zhang Biao was. The Qian Che General whispered: "Minister of Rites
Wai Lang, bachelor of Taiyuan University."
Zhang Xiaowu said: "I don't know any scholars, let alone this bachelor."
"The son of Left Prime Minister Zhang Kuan."
Zhang Xiaowu was secretly frightened and immediately opened the letter. When he saw the elegant words in the letter, he suddenly felt dizzy and said: "Brother, I have been working hard on the road. I will be a host tonight. Please have a drink at Wangchun Tower."
"Easy to say, easy to say."
Before the banquet, Zhang Xiaowu finally understood what Zhang Biao wrote. It turned out that Zhang Biao was shocked when he learned that Zhang Xiaowu had composed a poem "General Return". He would definitely inform Zhang Xiaowu when he invited him to Beijing, and hoped that he could
After a deep talk with him, Zhang Xiaowu asked Zhang Biao, a former chariot general named Wei Yuan, what his character was, and suddenly wrote him a letter, which made him a little confused.
Wei Yuan laughed and said that Zhang Biao was the most outstanding scholar in the dynasty. He was the best in the dynasty in terms of learning. Zhang Biao taught your majesty bit by bit. In a few years, Zhang Biao became the imperial tutor of the dynasty.
.However, Zhang Biao did not like court strife, nor did he participate in any party strife. He had an official status as a minister of etiquette, and rarely participated in government affairs.
"The people in the capital gave them the nickname Zhang Duozi." Wei Yuan said with a smile, "Once, a student who came to Beijing to take the exam left half a couplet in the teahouse. Everyone couldn't understand it, so Zhang Duozi sat in front of the couplet.
After staying awake for three days and three nights, I finally made the second line, and then slept for two days and two nights, which almost frightened the students in the college and thought they would never see their teacher again."
Zhang Xiaowu couldn't help laughing, it turned out that Zhang Biao was just a bookworm.
Wei Yuan said again: "General Zhang, your majesty has great trust in you, even if there are villains who slander you, your majesty always believes that the general can protect the north of the Great Wall."
Zhang Xiaowu cupped his hands and faced south, saying: "I dare not betray the emperor's favor." He then said: "General Wei, I dare to ask why eight thousand rebellious family members were exiled here. Please note that there are a large number of Qinglong Army soldiers gathered in Mucheng at this time..."
Wei Yuan waved his hand and said: "Your Majesty trusts you and says that you will be able to handle it properly. If it is handed over to others..." He lowered his voice and said: "If others are afraid of treating everyone harshly, it will cause worries to the officers and men of the Qinglong Army and force them to do so."
Make others treason."
Zhang Xiaowu paused for a long time before he understood the reason. He couldn't help praising Emperor Dade's wisdom, but he also felt ashamed that he had been worried that someone in the court would plot against him.
The Great Virtue Emperor knew that there were many princelings in Mucheng, so he sent the exiled prisoners to Mucheng to take care of him, so as to appease the Qinglong Army. At this time, the prince had died suddenly, and the Qinglong Army had no backers. The Dade Emperor Shi
In order to appease the morale of the Qinglong Army. But Emperor Dade only knew one thing but not the other. He thought that the Qinglong Army
Everyone is loyal to Xuanyuan Zixun, but they don't know that the Qinglong Army's military morale has long been disorganized because of Xuanyuan Zixun's ignorance and selfishness, and many people even hate him. Even if they help the party members of the deposed prince, they cannot win over the Qinglong Army's military morale, and even
On the contrary, it will anger them and make them feel resentful that the royal family is one family.
But Zhang Xiaowu knew Emperor Dade's intentions and decided to treat them well. He summoned more than 8,000 slaves, and saw that children accounted for one-third, women accounted for one-third, and the elderly and young men accounted for the rest.
A third of the heart was filled with sadness. This is the result of failure in the fight for the throne. If Xuanyuan Zixun becomes the emperor, these eight thousand people will surely enjoy the supreme glory and wealth. Maybe at this moment, here
The eight thousand slaves were Zhang Dang.
"No, it will definitely not be from Zhang Dang." Zhang Xiaowu secretly thought in his heart, "Xuanyuan Zixun is not a bookish and benevolent person like Emperor Dade. If he proclaims himself emperor, I am afraid that Zhang Dang will not be punished by the nine tribes.
, we have to wipe out the whole family, Longcheng City will not only kill more than 300 people, not killing 30,000 people is not Xuanyuan Zixun’s character."
The prisoners raised their heads and looked at the young and handsome general on the high platform. They were surprised. It turned out that this man was the famous ghost general Zhang Xiaowu. They were surprised that this man was so young, but they could not recognize him no matter what.
He looks a bit like a Rakshasa ghost. Why did everyone on the way here say he was cruel?
People began to talk in low voices, but were soon stopped by the soldiers in custody. Everyone was worried about their own situation, especially the nearly three thousand women, who were either wives of wealthy families or daughters and maids, all of whom looked better than those in Saibei Mucheng.
The women were delicate and beautiful. They lowered their heads in fear, avoiding the greedy and savage eyes of the people around them.
Zhang Xiaowu shouted loudly: "I am the guard general of Mucheng and the ghost general of Saibei, Zhang Xiaowu. From today on, you are the people under my rule. Since you are in Saibei, I will tell you the rules of Saibei. I only have three rules. The first one
, listen to me, the second day, listen to me, the third thing, listen to my words! Listen to me, you can survive, because I am better than you
Everyone must understand the survival rules of Saibei! You, from today on, children are my children, men are my soldiers, women are my sisters, and the elderly are my family members. Remember, in Saibei, I
He is your master. But if anyone dares to betray me or betray me, I will dig out his brain and eat it one bite at a time! Do you understand?"
Everyone looked at him in horror, not daring to speak, not even daring to look him in the eye. Everyone was silent, but it seemed that they understood, completely.
