Wen Chengyan was startled. Before he could speak, Han Shizhong jumped out and shouted: "Brother, I have soldiers here. I will give you as much as you want!"
Master Zhong smiled and said: "Zizhen, don't pay attention to this rogue, as long as you are willing, I can be handsome..."
Xu Zizhen raised his hand to stop what he was saying, and said with an extremely solemn expression: "Mr. Xiaozhong, I don't want to indulge in the habit of leading troops. You will have to return to your own defenses sooner or later. By then, Lanzhou City will still only have 30,000 defenders.
Army, we can't always count on you to relieve the siege, so I want to do my best based on what I have learned, to share some responsibilities for Mr. Wen and the people of Lanzhou."
His voice was not loud, but it carried a firm meaning. The master couldn't help but be startled, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, and never mentioned recruiting him into his army again, but after all, he felt a little regretful. Xu Zizhen's skill and courage were both extraordinary.
For example, with just a few tips, future achievements will be limitless. Moreover, Wen Chengyan's previous words of "naturally intelligent" made him feel extremely curious about Xu Zizhen.
Xu Zizhen stopped talking, just pursed his lips and looked at Wen Chengyan.
Wen Chengyan did not agree to him immediately, but asked: "Zizhen, I wonder if you want any position?"
Xu Zizhen shook his head: "Sir, I'm not looking for a military position. I just want to select a team of elites and train them using my methods. Maybe they will have unexpected results in the future."
"Oh? Your method?" Wen Chengyan's eyes lit up. He had seen everything from Xu Zizhen's appearance to the present, whether it was the first time when a man disguised himself as a woman to catch the robbers, or the later mascara, including the temple fair poetry show and the red sleeves.
Everything and everything took him by surprise.
In his eyes, Xu Zizhen is a mysterious figure, and there is much more than what he sees. Now that Xu Zizhen has taken the initiative to ask for help, he has no reason to refuse. He immediately said: "Okay! I will follow you.
In other words, the garrison of Lanzhou Prefecture is up to you to choose!"
"Thank you, sir!" There was no emotion or excitement on Xu Zizhen's face, only an extremely serious look.
The Xixia army did not retreat far, and no one had the intention to talk about anything else. After a simple meal, Xu Zizhen said goodbye to Zhongshizhong after hastily filling his stomach, and went to Lanzhou City with Wen Chengyan.
When the Deshun Army came for reinforcements, Zhongshi ordered the Lanzhou garrison to retreat to the city. The last battle to guard the pass cost them nearly half of their lives, and most of the remaining soldiers were injured. The reason for letting them go back was to
Recuperate and recuperate, and secondly, it also allows Wen Chengyan to quickly replenish his soldiers.
There are already more than 20,000 soldiers standing on the spacious campus. Most of them are the original Lanzhou defenders, many of whom are still wearing cloth belts and holding canes. There are also nearly 10,000 people who are obvious recruits. They are returning one by one.
There was a complex expression of excitement and apprehension on his slightly childish face.
Xu Zizhen stood on the stage, looking at these wounded soldiers who were still standing upright, and couldn't help but recall the battle of guarding the pass that night. That night could be said to be the first real battle in his life, that is,
In this battle, Li Meng, who was still underage, showed his prowess for the first time and managed to keep the door open by himself.
When he thought of Li Meng, he couldn't help but feel a stab of pain in his heart. This simple and kind-hearted little guy relied on him as his only support after losing his father, but in the end he still couldn't save his life.
Xu Zizhen's eyes turned red. He quickly took a deep breath to calm down and nodded to Wen Chengyan: "Sir, can we start?"
Wen Chengyan glanced at him, as if he had guessed what he was thinking, and patted his shoulder gently: "Today is your choice of troops, so you can decide for yourself."
Xu Zizhen nodded, stood in front of the stage, scanned the soldiers in the audience from left to right, pointed to his nose and said, "Do you know me?"
"know!"
"Mars!"
"Xu Yingxiong!"
The reaction from the audience was extremely enthusiastic. Previously, Xu Zizhen rode alone into the Xixia front line and instantly killed Brother Bolu, the Xixia pioneer. Later, he led a thousand riders to bravely charge into the Xixia army, and he stood proudly at the critical moment during the battle of guarding the pass that night.
His bravery and fearlessness have long been seen in the eyes of the soldiers and remembered in their hearts.
Even the new recruits on the field had almost all heard about Xu Zizhen’s deeds from the veterans. Therefore, when Xu Zizhen stood on the stage, everyone looked at him with an eager look of reverence. All soldiers were
Those who admire courage and bravery, Xu Zizhen's several performances have completely conquered them. In their hearts, Xu Zizhen is a hero, the courage of Jinchengguan and even Lanzhou City.
Xu Zizhen shook his head: "I am not the God of War, nor am I a hero. In my opinion, you are the God of War and the hero if you are able to resist the Xia people outside the pass without fear of life and death and protect hundreds of thousands of people in Lanzhou City behind you.
." At this point, he suddenly lifted up his robe, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly, "Brothers, you are all men! Please bow to me!"
There was an uproar in the audience. No one expected that the hero in their hearts would kneel down in front of them. Everyone felt extremely moved at this moment. Everyone's eyes instantly became wet, and they all knelt down.
When I got down, someone shouted: "The God of War is here, Lanzhou is here!"
This resonated with the whole audience, and everyone shouted in unison: "The God of War is here, and Lanzhou is here!"
The roar resounded throughout the world, shaking the entire school grounds as if they were shaking. Xu Zizhen hurriedly said: "Brothers, please get up quickly!"
A small school student standing at the front shouted loudly: "God of War, lead us to fight the Xia people!"
Suddenly a large number of people followed and shouted: "God of War, lead us to fight the Xia people!"
The situation suddenly became a little out of control, and everyone's emotions rose to the highest point in an instant. They all looked at Xu Zizhen with fiery eyes, as if they were looking at the gods in their hearts.
Wen Chengyan watched all this and felt extremely relieved. He was a good official and would never resent Xu Zizhen because his soldiers respected him so much. On the contrary, he would only be happy for Xu Zizhen.
He coughed slightly and took a step forward, raised his hand to stop the roar in the field, and shouted: "All officers and soldiers, listen to the order!"
Although Wen Chengyan took control of Lanzhou not long ago, his several defenses of the city and his daily administration were noticed by the soldiers. As a weak scholar, he was able to lead a mere 30,000 soldiers to keep the city closed. This alone was enough.
The soldiers and the people have admired him greatly. What's more, Wen Chengyan has always been clean and simple and has never collected people's wealth, so his official reputation is excellent.
So when he gave the order, the whole place suddenly returned to silence. Everyone stood as straight as a gun, looking at Wen Chengyan and Xu Zizhen on the stage.
There was a rare smile on Wen Chengyan's face, but he said with great solemnity: "At Zizhen's request, I will select five hundred warriors to form a team. You guys...who dares to ask for your life?"
