Xiongwei, who was praised by Zhang Shou as a powerful, upright and strict man, came from Ruiqi Camp in the capital and was the commander of the right camp.
Although Hua Qi was introduced to others in public, he lost his credibility because of the incident in the first place. It was not until Xiongwei showed his badge as the commander of Zuoying of Ruiqi Camp and pointed out that he had just been recommended by the Duke of Chu and was appointed from the Xuan Mansion.
After being transferred back, the frightened Guijie disciples finally believed him.
This time, even the few Guijie disciples who were a little unhappy because they missed the big scene of capturing the rebels last night all felt that it was fortunate that Zhu Ying had simply and rudely overturned their medicine last night. Today, this is not the case.
Even if they didn't actually fight, they would be quite frightened. If they really witnessed or even encountered the fierce battle last night, they might be held back...
At this moment when everyone was still frightened, Zhang Chen couldn't help but grabbed Lu Sanlang.
"Lu Zhutou, did you realize something was wrong a long time ago, so you suddenly covered my mouth? You Zhutou, you used to pretend to be stupid in the capital, but here you suddenly become a talented person in arithmetic, what the hell are you doing?
How many things are still hidden from us!"
Lu Sanlang had hidden his incompetence for so many years, and of course he wanted to show it off at this time, but Zhang Shou had exhausted all the reasons he could give. He could only say angrily: "Who told you not to observe carefully? This little flaw will be revealed."
I didn’t see it.. Didn’t you talk loudly before about who is afraid of whom? If the sky falls and everyone supports it, then what else is there to be afraid of? The eldest lady and the young gentleman were both here just now!"
As soon as he said this, a lot of people around him, let alone Zhang Chen, suddenly became speechless.
Not to mention Zhu Ying, the eldest lady has never been afraid of anything, but Zhang Shou is obviously just a young man who grew up in the countryside...
Zhang Wu immediately coughed dryly: "How can we be compared with Mr. Xiao? If Mr. Xiao hadn't had a miraculous calculation, how could Patriarch Bolege, who is known as the Master of Visions and Horses, accept Mr. Xiao as a closed disciple!"
"That's right..."
Zhang Shou saw Zhu Ying pestering Xiongwei not far away and asking questions, but he didn't know anything about it. He was unhappy there, so he planned to go up and give it a try, but he heard that people like Zhang Wu and others around him were confused and agreed with Lu Sanlang's suggestion.
He could only stop talking about the topic.
"Don't make me sound like a living Zhuge. If I were really that confident, I wouldn't have ordered Yang Laoguan and a few villagers to arrest the twenty dozen gangsters caught last night after hearing Hua Qiye's words before.
The rebels hid first. I just watched the commander-in-chief when he entered the village. His words and deeds did not look like a vicious person. Who would have known that it turned out to be a false alarm."
"Stop gossiping and go find me some villagers to find Mr. Yang and the others. It's time to hand over those prisoners last night."
Lu Sanlang immediately came up to him, and the little eyes on his chubby face blinked slightly, looking a little cute inexplicably: "Little sir, if you just hand over the person like this, will you be giving credit to that Xiongwei in vain?"
Zhang Shou saw that many of the dandy boys had expressions of approval, and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "That heroic commander knew how to run the army well at a glance, otherwise he would not have been able to bring out such a cavalry army with orders and prohibitions. He would never do it."
You would do such a thing. Moreover, do you underestimate yourselves too much? Who in the world dares to take your credit?"
As soon as these words came out, the dudes who were trembling with fear just now and almost peed their pants immediately straightened up.
Yes, we are well-known and respected in the capital. Who dares to take the credit from me?
"Besides, if people are left here, they will not only waste food to feed them, but also waste manpower to guard them every day. Now that you haven't returned to the capital, send these twenty or thirty prisoners back to the capital first, so that those in the capital who look down on you can
If people take a good look at the achievements you have made this time, won’t they be proud and proud when you go back in the future?”
With a few words, the dejected crowd was made happy. Zhang Shou rubbed his chin when he saw the group of people dispersed.
He finally saw it clearly. He treated these dudes just like puppies and kittens. Sometimes he had to scold them harshly like a dog, and sometimes he had to stroke them like a kitten...
"Uncle Hua, he first watched our fun last night, and today he performed a monkey show with that Xiongwei. I bet he deliberately wanted to see us make a fool of ourselves. I don't believe that the Queen Mother has nothing to do with us juniors. She must be
He is causing trouble!"
Zhu Ying walked back quickly, picked up the jug and drank heavily, with an angry look on her face. After complaining for a while, she saw Zhang Shou smiling and saying nothing, and those dandy boys were gone. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows:
"What about the rest?"
"I asked them to notify Mr. Yang and escort everyone out." Before Zhu Ying could raise her eyebrows to object, he changed the subject and said, "Speaking of which, there is trouble in the Linhai Camp. The Queen Mother may think that you
It’s not safe in the countryside. I hope you can return to Beijing as soon as possible.”
"No way. Didn't grandma send someone to deliver longevity noodles and new clothes yesterday?"
Zhu Ying said this, but she couldn't help but feel guilty when she thought that the bad news came after the people from Zhao Guogong's mansion left the capital. To say that she did stay outside for a long time this time, although her grandmother was conniving, the capital was also in chaos.
It makes people feel bad, but how long can her good days of being outdoors and letting her temper last?
If she really had to leave...she had to leave something behind for the village, so that Ah Shou and others would not forget her!
Thinking of this, Miss Zhu couldn't help but roll her eyes: "How about I gather everyone to build a wall for Rongshui Village and surround the entire village? This will not only resist the rebels, but also the wild beasts!"
Miss, this is a village, not a town, let alone a county. In the peaceful and prosperous times, there were occasional rebellions with soldiers and horse camps, but there were no wars everywhere. Suddenly troops were mobilized to build a wall for the village... Are you planning to rebel at Wubao?
In modern times, this is also an illegal construction and will be demolished...
Faced with this whim, Zhang Shou could only say seriously: "Building a wall because of a small disturbance, doesn't this doubt the ability of the garrison in Gyeonggi? I think that a brave and upright person like Commander Xiong should stop by to receive the prisoners.
Maybe we can go back to quell the chaos next. The cavalry army is well-trained, and the small chaos will be settled in a short time, so there is no need to worry about safety."
Not far away, there was a villain scene that seemed to have failed, but the hero was in a good mood.
He has always been known as a good listener in the military camp. He heard what Zhang Shou, those dandy boys, and Zhu Ying just said.
He has been in the army for so many years, but he has not met many discerning people. The first one is the Duke of Chu, and the second one is the emperor of the dynasty... Anyway, this Zhang Xiaolang is one of them! In the end, how can one live his whole life by relying solely on his face?
Woolen cloth?
Thinking of this, seeing Zhang Shou and Zhu Ying walking towards him after talking, Xiongwei took the initiative to greet them.
"Is Commander Xiong planning to take away the rebels last night and an assassin who came later?"
Since Xiongwei had a good opinion of Zhang Shou, he was willing to mention Zhang Shou more than when he had just dealt with Zhu Ying.
"Yesterday, there was a roar in the Linhai camp, and more than a hundred rebels escaped. We were rushed to the capital, and the gates were closed for a while. This morning, we received an urgent report from Hua Qiye again.
It was said that the rebels came here, so I was ordered to lead people here and escort the prisoners back to the capital. Fortunately, starting early in the morning, the gates of the capital have been opened."
"But the matter of quelling the chaos has nothing to do with me. After all, I am new to Gyeonggi and I am not familiar with the place. It is not my turn to take the lead."
Then, he glanced at Zhu Ying, who was drinking and sulking on the table not far away, with a faint smile on her face: "But I was only ordered to lead people, and there was no mention of horses."
Zhang Shou originally wanted to test how to deal with those horses, but when he suddenly heard such an explicit hint, he thought of Yang Laoguan's coveting of those horses after he captured all the men and horses last night, and he couldn't help but feel sleepy on his pillow.
sense of luck.
He immediately rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "In that case, I will just let our village temporarily borrow those military horses for a few days. There are not many plowing cattle in the village, and using horses to plow the fields can save everyone the manpower of the boss.
"
Zhang Shou was just talking nonsense and looking for excuses to fool him, but he didn't expect Xiongwei to actually nod seriously and said: "That's what Mr. Zhang Xiaolang said. When we were in Xuanfu, we often used horses to plow the fields, which really saved a lot of manpower. Those things last night
The rebel army disturbed the countryside, so it was only right to leave the mounts to work as compensation, so the Linhai camp had nothing to say."
Having said this, this heroic commander with "rigorous and upright style" smiled meaningfully at Zhang Shou.
"I'm really not very good at frightening people through acting. I can't afford to frighten so many people."
Everyone has already made this clear, how could Zhang Shou not understand?
No matter whose order it was, this person obviously only wanted to hit the mark when it came to acting and did not want to cause big trouble, so he left such an obvious flaw. Therefore, anyone who has a successful official career these days is actually
It's a human spirit!
He learned another lesson: don’t trust appearances!
