Later, Zhang Shaozong found a special place to sit down and talk in detail with Chen Yulou and Partridge Shao. He revealed his identity as the commander-in-chief of Wuling, Taoyuan, and Jiu'an in southern Hunan. After listening to Zhang Shaozong's words, the two of them immediately became completely convinced.
After realizing it, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Last year I heard that there was a hero in southern Hunan. Although his rise was small, he unified the three places of Wuling, Taoyuan and Jiuan in southern Hunan in just a few months. He became famous all over the world and was the top hero in the world. I didn't expect that it was Zhang.
Brother, you really don’t know the true face of Lushan Mountain, even if you are famous, you don’t recognize it in person.”
Chen Yulou couldn't help but sigh. After listening to Zhang Shaozong's words, he completely thought about it. Last year, Zhang Shaozong suddenly rose up to dominate Wuling, Taoyuan, and Jiu'an. He became famous for a while, especially in Xiangdi, which was even more shocking. Even Xiangxi Guanshan
It was somewhat isolated from the outside world, and the news came in. Chen Yulou also heard about it at that time, but he did not know about it in detail. He only knew that a powerful man came out of Xiangnan and he occupied Wuling, Taoyuan, and Jiu'an in a few months.
These three places became the top warlords in Hunan in one fell swoop.
But he never expected that this person would be Zhang Shaozong in front of him.
Partridge Whistle and everyone else present could not help but feel shocked. Zhang Shaozong's identity really had a big impact on them.
"I won't hide it from Brother Chen. I came to Xiangxi this time just for the sake of Xiangxi. The land of Xiangxi has high mountains and deep forests. The mountains blocking it are natural barriers. If we can capture Xiangxi, we can take advantage of its geographical advantages."
, even if the enemy has ten times the strength, they may not be able to capture it."
Zhang Shaozong spoke again and directly stated the purpose of his visit. He believed that Chen Yulou and Partridge Shao were smart enough to guess this.
Sure enough, after hearing Zhang Shaozong's words, Chen Yulou was not surprised at all and sighed.
"There is a saying that a mantis stalks a cicada with an oriole behind it. Ma Zhenbang of the Yunnan Army thought he was an oriole, but he didn't know that he was just a mantis. Brother Zhang is the real oriole."
However, based on his relationship with Zhang Shaozong and Zhang Shaozong's attitude towards him at the moment, if Zhang Shaozong takes charge of Xiangqian, it will undoubtedly be a good thing for him and the entire Xiling. After all, Luo Laowai is dead, and Xiangqian will be the next one.
There will definitely be new warlords emerging to occupy it. In this case, it would be better for someone like Zhang Shaozong who has good relations with him and is strong and capable to occupy it, he said immediately.
"Congratulations to Brother Zhang. After this battle, Xiangxi will no longer be hindered by the army. Brother Zhang will be able to successfully take control of Xiangxi. Moreover, Brother Zhang's killing of Ma Zhenbang this time can be regarded as avenging Luo Shuai. I think Luo Shuai
Even if Izumi knew it, he would definitely be happy to see this result."
This is what a smart person like Chen Yulou can say. In one sentence, he characterized this incident as Luo Laowai was killed by Ma Zhenbang, and Zhang Shaozong now killed Ma Zhenbang to avenge Luo Laowai. In this case,
It can be said that Zhang Shaozong's return to Xiangxi is justified.
After all, now that Luo Laowai is dead, Zhang Shaozong has avenged Luo Laowai, and now Xiangxi has no owner. In this case, Zhang Shaozong has avenged Luo Laowai, so wouldn't it be wrong to take over Luo Laowai's position?
Of course.
In fact, Chen Yulou knew that Zhang Shaozong would definitely be happy with Luo Laowai's death. He couldn't even say that Zhang Shaozong had known about Ma Zhenbang's arrival and deliberately waited for Ma Zhenbang to kill Luo Laowai. After all, if Luo Laowai had not died, how could Zhang Shaozong have succeeded?
Therefore, for Zhang Shaozong, using Ma Zhenbang to deal with Luo Laowai, and then Zhang Shaozong killing Ma Zhenbang in the name of avenging Luo Laowai, it is completely logical to accept Xiangqian.
I'm afraid all this is Zhang Shaozong's plan.
Of course, even if Chen Yulou knew these words in his heart, he would definitely not say them out. After all, it would not do him any good to say them out. Instead, it would offend Zhang Shaozong. On the contrary, now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, it is better to help Zhang Shaozong.
He is also more advantageous. To say the least, compared to Luo Laowai, he has a better relationship with Zhang Shaozong, so there is no reason not to turn to Zhang Shaozong.
The smile on Zhang Shaozong's face became even brighter when he heard Chen Yulou's words. He liked smart people like Chen Yulou and sighed following Chen Yulou's words.
"Hey, although I have my heart to station in Xiangxi, after working together before, I respect Luo Shuai as a man. I thought that even if I argue with Luo Shuai, I have to be fair and it is best to resolve it peacefully. After all, we work together.
, but I didn’t expect Luo Shuai to be killed by Ma Zhenbang first.”
"It's a pity that although I discovered Ma Zhenbang's army last night, it was already too late. Everyone was drunk and unconscious, so I could only take Ningshuang and Yuanbao to leave first to mobilize the army under my command and plan to come back for support. Unfortunately, the mountain road is difficult to travel and it was delayed.
One night, after all, I arrived a step too late and failed to save Luo Shuai."
"Brother Zhang, don't blame yourself. This is not Brother Zhang's fault. It's because everyone let down their guard too much last night, and there was a traitor like Adjutant Yang. Now that he can kill Ma Zhenbang and Adjutant Yang, Brother Zhang can be regarded as Luo Shuai."
Revenge, I think Luo Shuai must be satisfied."
Chen Yulou Road.
Zhang Shaozong nodded.
"What Brother Chen said is true. Things have come to this and can only be like this. The dead are gone, but we living people still need to move on."
"It just so happens that the Tomb of the Yuan Dynasty has not been obtained yet. Luo Shuai's wish during his lifetime was to obtain the Tomb of the Yuan Dynasty. Brother Chen and Brother Partridge are also here. How about we and the other three brothers continue to join forces to get the Tomb of the Yuan Dynasty. When the time comes, we can take out the Tomb of the Yuan Dynasty.
Burning more paper money for Luo Shuai and telling him the news can be regarded as fulfilling Luo Shuai's wish during his lifetime. What do Brother Chen and Brother Partridge think?"
"I think so too."
Chen Yulou nodded immediately. Although this time was full of twists and turns, he felt that the current result was not bad. Although Luo Laowai was gone, his Xiling people were still there and there was no loss. Moreover, there were still brothers and sisters of Partridge Sentinel.
The three of them, plus Zhang Shaozong and Zhang Shaozong's army, continued to join forces. Chen Yulou felt that this was even more provocative than before.
"Since Brother Zhang and Brother Chen both have this intention, then I, Partridge Whistle, should sacrifice my life to accompany you."
Partridge Whistle also expressed his stance.
"Okay, that's the case, then the matter is settled. However, after the war, we still need to deal with some post-war matters. Brother Chen and Brother Partridge also worked hard last night. Let's make some repairs first and prepare for everything.
After the repairs are completed, we can go get the Yuan Tomb together."
The matter was settled again immediately, and then Partridge Post, Chen Yulou and others began to camp on the spot, cooking and repairing, while Zhang Shaozong walked towards the captured Yunnan troops and those who were originally under Luo Laowai.
There are still three to four thousand people in the Yunnan Army. Luo Laowai's group of people is still quite large, with more than 7,000 people. Altogether, there are more than 10,000 people. Zhang Shaozong plans to recruit these people. After all, they will join the army next time.
Lord Xiangqian also needs an army.
At this time, these people were all disarmed and guarded together. Zhang Shaozong walked directly in front of these people and stood on a large stone next to them, speaking condescendingly.
"My name is Zhang Shaozong. Maybe many of you don't know me, but it doesn't matter. From now on, you will know me. Just now, my people killed many of you, especially the Yunnan Army. Maybe you are now thinking
Many people still have a lot of hatred, but I want to tell you, this is war. On the battlefield, there is no right or wrong, only positions. My position is opposite to yours, so my people killed your people before. Likewise,
You can also kill our people, this is war, we have different positions."
"But now that the war is over, I won't embarrass you. We are all of Yanhuang blood. If it is not necessary, I, Zhang Shaozong, will not kill them all. Now I will give you two choices. The first one, you will follow from now on.
I, I promise that I will never treat you badly. Secondly, if you don’t want to follow me, you can leave on your own. I will never embarrass you. You can even seek revenge from me, Zhang Shaozong. As long as you are honest and on the battlefield like today
If the general defeats or even kills me, I welcome him."
"On the battlefield, life or death will have no regrets."
Outside the field, whether it was the Yunnan Army, the prisoners under Luo Laowai, or Chen Yulou, Partridge Sentry and others in the rear, they couldn't help but look at Zhang Shaozong.
"Okay, I've finished what I want to say. Now the choice is up to you. If you are willing to stay and follow me in the future, go to the right and each of you will receive five dollars. This is your future salary. If you perform well or
If you get promoted, you will be rewarded with a salary increase. Those who are injured will receive treatment. If you don't want to follow me, Zhang Shaozong, go to the left and each of you will receive two yuan. Think of it as the travel expenses that I, Zhang Shaozong, give you."
"We are willing to follow Zhang Shuai."
"Yes, we are willing to follow Zhang Shuai."
"..."
After Zhang Shaozong finished speaking, Luo Laowai's subordinates immediately made a decision. Not to mention that now that Luo Laowai is dead, they don't know where to go. Let's talk about the choice given by Zhang Shaozong. One is two yuan and the other is five yuan.
It's a big ocean, but they can still tell which one is more and which one is less.
The people of the Yunnan Army were still hesitating, but in the end, they made decisions one after another.
"We are willing to work with Zhang Shuai."
In the end, except for a few people in the Yunnan Army who chose to leave, almost everyone else chose to join Zhang Shaozong's side.
Then one morning, Zhang Shaozong asked Zhang Jinzhong to simply organize these new people who had taken refuge, and at the same time, they cleaned the battlefield and set up camp and repairs in place.
After recruiting more than 10,000 people, the number of troops under Zhang Shaozong also experienced a surge again.
In the afternoon, after a morning of repairs, the newly recruited Yunnan troops and Luo Laowai's original subordinates were preliminarily reorganized, leaving Zhang Jinzhong and most of the people to stay behind to keep an eye on the logistics. Zhang Shaozong asked Zhang Shaowu to lead the independent army.
The regiment once again embarked on the road to Pingshan with everyone from Moving Mountain and Xiling, led by Chen Yulou and Partridge Shao.
Zhang Shaozong led Ningshuang, Yuanbao, Chen Yulou, and Partridge Shao at the front, while Zhang Shaowu led the Independent Regiment and Banshan, and the others from Xiling followed.
"The people of Yuan Dynasty really can't act according to common sense, and they would actually place the tomb on the top of the mountain."
Chen Yulou couldn't help but sigh and said that he had always thought that Yuan's tomb would be in the middle of the mountain, because in terms of Feng Shui, the middle of the mountain was undoubtedly the best acupuncture point.
"After all, the people of the Yuan Dynasty are a foreign race, and it is understandable that their customs and habits are different from those of the people in the Central Plains. And to a certain extent, this cave on the top of the mountain does have its own uniqueness."
Zhang Shaozong answered, and an hour later he led a large force to the mountain top canyon where he had been before.
There were no surprises this time. Zhang Shaozong, Chen Yulou, and Partridge Shao quickly found the entrance to Yuan's Tomb. There were still many traps to enter the tomb, but with Partridge Shao and Chen Yulou's experience in tomb robbing, they added
With Zhang Shaozong's strength, he could easily pass all the way to the core of the tomb, which is a palace-like mausoleum hall. In the center of the hall is a huge coffin, which is the owner of the Yuan Dynasty tomb. Surrounded by countless gold and silver burials
Jewelry, jade and ancient artifacts.
The corpse in the coffin has turned into a bronze-armored corpse, which is the Xiangxi Corpse King in Miao Village legend. When Zhang Shaozong and his party came in, the Corpse King also noticed that he was awake, but before he could break out, Zhang Shaozong
He had already taken the first step, raised his hand and slashed out with his sword, splitting the corpse king into two together with the coffin and killing him directly.
If faced with ordinary people or even ninth-level Qi-training monks, this corpse king might be a huge threat, but for Zhang Shaozong today, even a bronze-armored corpse is only a matter of one or two swords.
.
For Zhang Shaozong, the only ones that can pose a threat to him now are flying corpses or ghost kings at the level of god refining.
After solving the Corpse King, Zhang Shaozong once again received the reward of 100 Bailing Pills and 100 Strengthening Pills. At this point, Pingshan and his party were basically over. Counting the previous centipede spirits and raccoon spirits, a total of 200 pills were brought to him.
Medicinal rewards of multiple Bailing Pills and more than 200 Strengthening Pills.
