Dai Cai, Dong Mingzhi and others all gave a bitter smile. According to their wishes, Zhang He's relatives must not escape death. After all, the Jianwei Zhang family has been sucking the blood of the entire Chuzhou to expand and grow over the years, so they must pay
It takes a heavy price to repay the debts owed over the years.
In doing so, Zhang He was obviously asking Li Xinchen to "do not bring harm to his family."
"You can avoid the death penalty, but you cannot escape the living crime." Li Xingchen sneered. Even if he couldn't really order Zhang and his family to be silenced or even uproot the entire Jianwei Zhang family, he still had to consider his own soldiers and the hesitant families.
Attitude.
He must have a good grasp of the scale during this.
"Zidong, Boyu, I'll leave it to you how to deal with it, I believe you can handle it properly." Li Xingchen ordered, turned around and walked straight outside, "You also have to do the matter of releasing the list to calm the people.
"
As soon as these words were said, Dong Mingzhi and other members of the aristocratic family breathed a sigh of relief, while Lu Zhiwu's face became even more joyful. Li Xingchen's words meant trust and respect for him.
This shows that at least in Li Xingchen's mind, he has integrated into this group.
"The last general will live up to his command!"
Listening to Lu Zhiwu's loud reply behind him, a smile appeared on Li Xingchen's lips.
——————————————————-
"See General!"
The general on the city wall who was leading people to collect the corpses saw Li Xingchen striding up and hurriedly bowed his hands in salute. The soldiers around him also put down their work and looked at the young man respectfully.
Li Xingchen nodded to the general and looked around: "Are there many casualties among the brothers?"
This was the first time he had a direct conversation with Li Xingchen. General Zhuang's face was full of excitement and he hurriedly replied: "General Qi, not many. One of my subordinates was killed in the battle and four or five were injured."
However, realizing that saying this would make it obvious that his subordinates were not fighting desperately, General Zhuang explained anxiously: "These enemies are really vulnerable. Some of them scared us away before we could even rush up to them."
·······”
Li Xingchen laughed and nodded: "Only if they were scared away can you prove how powerful you are!"
After receiving Li Xingchen's praise, Zhuang Jiang and the surrounding soldiers all laughed sheepishly. Li Xingchen then pointed to the smoking place under the city: "I have ordered to reward the brothers, hurry up and clean up this place."
Go down and eat meat.”
"Okay, general, don't worry!" General Zhuang puffed up his chest.
And Li Xingchen then glared at him: "Having said that, the brothers who died in the battle must be well accommodated. If the military pension is not in place, don't hide it and dare not say it, just come and find it.
So; and the injured brothers, if there are any inconveniences in life in the future, you can all help me, and if you need anything, please feel free to ask!"
After a pause, Li Xinchen's eyes swept over all the soldiers around him: "A certain brother of Li Xinchen, Paoze, roamed the battlefield, drank wine and ate meat, and had a lot of fun. When he died, he had to be carefree, free and happy, so he had
You still have to take care of the things you can’t take care of!”
These words were loud and clear, and the eyes of many soldiers turned slightly red.
General Zhuang nodded solemnly: "General, don't worry!"
"General, don't worry!" the soldiers shouted at the same time.
Looking at Li Xingchen's leaving figure, a soldier opened his mouth slightly, and after a long time he said with emotion: "I have been serving as a soldier for three or four years, and this is the first time I have seen such a superior officer."
"All the Shangguans in the world want to do is eat meat, drink wine, and be gentle with their hometown. How many of the first things you can do after breaking the city like this with the gangster generals are to come to the city to visit us?" Another soldier couldn't help but exclaimed.
.
"Our general is so righteous, he will never be without him in the future!"
"Yes, we are honored to follow such a general."
Listening to the discussion of the soldiers behind him, General Zhuang turned his head silently and followed the figure closely.
He kept Li Xinchen's instructions in mind, but now he was worried about Li Xinchen himself.
In the entire government and the public, there are only a few generals who love soldiers so much. By doing this, Li Xingchen put himself in opposition to many people.
This is not a good choice.
"But so what, whoever dares to go against General Li, then we will go against him!" General Zhuang couldn't help but murmured, clenching his teeth.
Li Xingchen chatted with the busy soldiers on the city wall along the way, and by the time he reached the top of the city tower, it was already the time for a stick of incense.
"I knew you were coming when I heard the noise outside." Xiao Shilian stood in the tower with his hands folded, frowning as he looked at the map hanging there, and couldn't help but sigh when he heard the footsteps behind him.
Li Xingchen smiled slightly, without commenting, but walked straight to the map: "It is said that Zhang He spends half of his time on this tower these days?"
"So this map is more detailed than all the maps you can find in Bajun City," Xiao Shilian said with a smile, pointing at the map and said, "Shizhong, look, Hezhou and Luzhou are all
They were heavily circled by Zhang He, but reinforcements from these two places never arrived."
"It seems that the popularity of Zhang He and the governor Zhang is not very good," Li Xingchen said with a smile, "and according to some speculation, Zhang He spent so much time on the tower, I am afraid it is not because he cares about the war situation, but because he
The fear in his heart made him always hope to see the reinforcements arrive as soon as possible."
"It's a pity that all he saw was our army." Xiao Shilian shook his head.
Li Xingchen took a sip of the tea poured by Li Ping next to him, and then sat down in a leisurely manner: "Speaking of which, Boqing, if you don't go to eat meat and drink wine, why did you come to this tower by yourself?"
Thinking of something, Li Xingchen then joked: "By the way, I heard that Zhang He's daughters are pretty good. Do you want to get one? Lu Boyu doesn't even have the guts to keep them all for himself."
Xiao Shilian turned around and glared at him angrily: "Lian'er will be rescued in a few days. Do you think you are getting impatient?"
Li Xingchen glanced at Xiao Shilian with disdain: "Strict wife control."
Turning a deaf ear to Li Xinchen's ridicule, Xiao Shilian looked directly at the map and explained another question from Li Xinchen: "Shizhong, do you really think we will be safe if we take Bajun?"
Li Xingchen suddenly said in surprise: "When did you, Xiao Boqing, start thinking about these issues? It's really strange!"
Xiao Shilian snorted: "Why, you look down on me?"
Li Xingchen laughed, stood up, and the expression on his face became solemn: "If I didn't have the same idea, I wouldn't have come to the tower to find you."
Raising his eyebrows, Xiao Shilian stretched out his hand and pointed on the map: "Bajun has Hezhou to the north and Luzhou to the west. The isolated city is hanging in the enemy's pincer, so it is not the best place to gain a foothold."
