Although Zalari was the leader of a tribe, the Xibe tribe was originally a small tribe. He was only the leader of the Xibe tribe, and there were only about a thousand women, children, young and old. Later, he helped Xie Qian with all his might to resist the Qing army and made outstanding contributions.

Xie Qian's loyalty was regarded as his brother's robes and the soldiers never stingy in the rewards he gave him.

So far, Zalari has a thousand soldiers under his command, which has a good solution to his former desire to lead the army. However, as his status has increased, he has also become proud of himself.

When he first met Zhou Xian, although he was extremely humble and polite, he did not have much respect in his heart.

But now I heard Han Kuo talk about the Denglai War in detail, and over a few days, more than 10,000 enemy troops were wiped out. Zhou Xian took it calmly, as if he took all these for granted.

It was only at this moment that Zalari realized how he was originally looking at the sky. He was brave and quickly saw the opportunity. Otherwise, he would not have chosen to recite Qingtu Ming with just one waist card. He thought for a little while and made up his mind.

As soon as Han Kuo finished speaking, Zalari stood up and respectfully bowed to Zhou Xian and said, "Sir, the villain has a request, I hope you can agree?"

Zhou Xian saw that Zalari suddenly stood up and said such an inexplicable word. He felt a little surprised. He waved his hand gently, smiled and signaled him to sit down and said, "There are no outsiders here. What does Zalari have to say? You can just say it."

Zalari insisted on standing and bowed again, "Sir, the villain is from a barbarian tribe and is not educated. Now, I feel that he is not capable enough when I hear what General Han said about the war. Please allow the villain to stay by your side and listen to the teachings at all times. In this way, the villain can better serve the adults in the future."

Zhou Xian's smile on his face was even stronger, thinking that Xie Qian had sent a letter saying that Zalari was extremely intelligent and could be of great use. Now it seems that his ability to judge the situation is stronger than his intelligence. Such a person has strong abilities and a strong sense of motivation. If used properly, he can provide infinite help to his current self.

Zhou Xian stood up, patted his shoulder gently, and pulled him down and sat down, "Zarari, you are Xie Qian's good brother now. Now he is the time to use people. If I keep you by my side, he will not be anxious with me directly. Also, you are the patriarch of the Zara Qing tribe. If you leave, what should your tribe members do?"

Zarari frowned slightly, and said nothing in silence.

Zhou Xian poured him a glass of wine and said with a smile: "It is my long-cherished wish to defeat the Qing Dynasty and seize the entire Liaodong. It is quite difficult to attack from Dandong or Xiuyan City, and it is the easiest to Jinzhou. At that time, I need to call a batch of troops from you, and the more the number, the better, the better. After that, I will send the army general back to Xie Qian with you, and you will do your best to train me with a team of elite troops. When I decide to send troops, I will let you lead the army alone."

Although the number of people led the army alone was uncertain, but such favor was completely beyond Zalari's expectations. He heard this and looked extremely excited and hurriedly bowed: "The villain will do his best to serve the adults in the future."

These people all ran from Lushun and were very tired. The banquet did not last long, so Zhou Xian asked Xia Shu to take them down to rest.

Zhou Tai obviously had something to say, but Zhou Xian smiled faintly and said, "Go down and have a rest first, I'll go find you later."

Zhou Tai nodded and left with Zalali with Xia Shu.

Zhou Xian saw them walking away and said to Han Kuo and Gao Yi: "Go to my study to talk."

Han Kuo took out two letters and handed them to Zhou Xian. One of them was written by Lin Qingye, which detailed the entire process of the Imperial City Island Water War and the Denglai War. It was much more detailed than what Han Kuo said, and even included statistics on various losses of the self-army.

Lin Qingye's soldiers did not suffer much damage. What was really miserable was the group of mobs that Gao Hongtu initially formed. Nearly 100 soldiers from the Six Arts Academy died and injured, and a large number of artisans from artillery factories and shipyards died in danger.

Zhou Xian frowned slightly, thinking that Gao Hongtu really didn't know how to save. He originally wanted to use them to be in charge of Denglai's government affairs in the future. But this battle directly lost 30% of it. He silently cursed Gao Hongtu in his heart for a while and continued to look down.

Wan Ji visited Zeng Hualong and Shen Tingyang, both of whom expressed their support for the proposal to transport grain to Liaodong. Shen Tingyang transferred thirty sea ships from the fleet, specifically for the task of transporting grain.

But before, Lin Qingye used these ships in advance to transport all the nearly 4,000 Tianyou Army prisoners staying on the Imperial City Island to Denglai. He also said that he had retrieved more than 50 artillery guns from the coast near the Imperial City Island. There were tiger cannons and Fran machine cannons, but no shells, so he sent them all to Penglai City.

The second letter was written by Zeng Hualong.

This time, pirates rampantly ran in Denglai, especially Jiaozhou and Wendeng, which suffered the most damage. There were many prisoners and more suffering people who needed to be appeased. He tended to suspend the recruitment of soldiers. He proposed that those pirates could be dealt with with severe punishment of the leaders and forgive ordinary soldiers, and even some loyal and honest people could be organized into the army in the future.

Zhou Xian did not have much opinion on this, but most of the pirates were evil people. When the implementation was carried out, they must be strictly reviewed and there was no rush to do so. When the war ended here, it would not be too late to return to Denglai before going on. You can write to Zeng Hualong and ask him to recruit a small group of prisoners first. Now, Zhou Xian thought so in his heart.

Zhou Xian continued to look down and his face changed immediately.

Zeng Hualong's letter said that Du Xun died and died at the hands of Han Yong. As the censor, he could only report this matter to the court.

Zhou Xian glanced at Han Kuo and asked in a low voice: "How did Du Xun die?"

Han Kuo's face turned pale and he talked about the whole thing in detail.

It turned out that Han Yong secretly hijacked Du Xun and placed it in Zhou Xian's mansion in Penglai. At first, there was nothing wrong, but Jinse was kind-hearted and while feeding Du Xun, he took him to the street. Du Xun held a sharp wood in his hand, and walked to the street with a look at the countless people.

Gu Yanwu, Wang Shizhong and others did not dare to act rashly.

Du Xun scolded Zhou Xian and threatened to report to the court. He happened to meet Han Yong, who had just defeated Liu Chengzu and returned from the front line. In order to save Jinse and eliminate future troubles, Han Yong shot Du Xun's head from behind.

This incident was seen by too many people and soon spread throughout Denglai.
