Chapter 37: Returning Home

Zhang Xuan Zhengse said: "I'm going to see General Bai." ”

The early morning wind, still in the midst of nothing, gently brushed the corpses hanging on the long poles.

Bai Wang's body kept shaking.

At a great distance, at least a few miles, even if you look through a clairvoyant mirror, you can only see the outline.

Zhang Xuan didn't want to take a closer look. Looking back at the generals lined up behind him.

He said: "The country is ordered by His Majesty to take over the military affairs of Xiangyang. I thought Xiangyang Jiancheng. There are also 100,000 people, and all kinds of material resources are endless, and they are as solid as gold, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that. ”

Zhang Xuan paced lightly and said, "I know, some people are not convinced. I think I'm just a junior, and when your predecessors dominated the world, I didn't know where to study. ”

"I feel that the camp was powerful at the beginning, but now it is under Cao Ying. Very uncomfortable. But no matter what, everyone was a brother in a pot. I know that Your Majesty and King Chuang have a festival with the two of them, but this festival is just a festival for them. Those of us below don't speculate too much. ”

"Brothers, for so many years, birth and death. Why? Isn't it just asking for a background, asking for a wealth. You all know that Your Majesty is a human being, and there will be no less one thing to give you. No discrimination. ”

Luo Rucai's reputation is still very good.

Zhang Xuan's words made the faces of many generals who broke into the camp much better.

What Zhang Xuan said was a bit rude, but it was the truth. Zhang Xuan blended out of the rebels. I know the thoughts of these generals too well.

At the beginning, these generals couldn't survive, and they brought people out to make trouble. At that time, some people were asking for a recruitment, some people were asking for a way to live, and some people were asking for a happy time.

But with the development of the situation, step by step to the present, they inevitably have some other ideas.

Maybe the upper-level generals who broke into the camp still have loyalty to Li Zicheng, but for the middle-level and lower-level generals. His future is more important than Li Zicheng, and Li Zicheng's great development is almost synchronous with Cao Ying.

It was the rebel army that brought together three rebel armies, namely Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai, and Zhang Xianzhong.

In fact, the three people have a common situation, that is, the foundation is shallow.

Under Li Zicheng's defeat, the disintegration is proof of this.

There are not too many people who are really loyal to Li Zicheng, and for many people, defecting to Li Zicheng is not much different from defecting to Luo Rucai.

Zhang Xuan's eyes swept over and said, "Where are you from?" ”

For a while, everyone was silent, and few people understood what Zhang Xuan meant.

Zhang Xuan said: "I am from Linying, Henan Province, and I grew up in Zhengzhou. But where is Zhengzhou now? ”

Zhang Xuan's figure suddenly mentioned it and said, "In the hands of the Qing court." ”

Zhang Xuan took a step forward, pointed at Yang Chengzu and said, "You are from Shaanxi." ”

Zhang Xuan took another step, pointed at Li Guo and said, "You are from Yan'an." ”

Zhang Xuan's fingers circled outside, and finally fell on himself, and said: "We are all northerners, and now we are living in the south, even if we have glory and wealth, don't you want to go home?" ”

"The whole north is captured in the east, and if this battle is not won, the land of the lake is not where we live."

"If we don't defeat the Dongyu, the world is so big, where is our place of existence, and if we lose the entire north, what else can we lose?"

"Are we just running away, fleeing, fleeing, fleeing to the ends of the earth, and we will never be able to drink the water of our hometown again for the rest of our lives."

Zhang Xuan was also very sad for a while, and he suddenly remembered Yongli's experience. Yongli fled all the way from Hunan to Liangguang, from Liangguang, to Yungui, and from Yungui to Burma.

He didn't want to run away like this.

And others were also touched.

I have to say that Zhang Xuan, as a later generation, is certainly a native of Henan, but his affection for his hometown is not very deep.

This may be the feeling of later generations.

But the people of this era are different.

Most of these people are floating away for various reasons, far away from their hometown for so many years, and finally they have won a big victory and occupied half of the world, who has not the intention of returning to their hometown to glorify their ancestors.

And then I was beaten all the way, thinking that it was likely that I would never be able to return to my hometown for the rest of my life.

There are even people with tears in their eyes, but they just can't shed it.

"It's a man, if you want to go home in your lifetime, you will fight with me and the Tartars, when we fought with the official army, it was just a head and two arms."

"Now that you are rich and rich, you don't dare to fight hard, are you afraid of death?" Zhang Xuan said sharply.

"Zhang Tiebi, don't you just work hard to disgust people here?" I don't know who shouted and said, "When Lao Tzu is desperately carrying his head, you don't know where to feed." ”

Zhang Xuan heard Zhang Tiebi's nickname, he was in a trance, no one called him that for a long time, this trance was just a flash, he said: "Okay, since this is the case, do you dare to join me and take General Bai home." ”

"General Bai sacrificed his life for my Great Xia, and the national referendum plan does not allow General Bai's body to be insulted by the Tartars. Who wants to? ”

The head of the city sinked suddenly, and immediately some people responded: "I am willing." ”

"Lao Tzu dares to do it."

“----”

For a while, there was a sense of chaos in the city.

Zhang Xuan nodded slightly in his heart, and said secretly: "This morale is a little bit." ”

These people at the head of the city are the backbone of the army in Xiangyang City, and Zhang Xuan can only better boost the morale of the army by boosting their morale.

However, no matter how fanciful it is, the morale of the incentive is empty.

Zhang Xuan immediately ordered to give rewards to the generals who were willing to go out of the city to fight, and almost scattered all the 100,000 silver he raised at once. It can be said that the treasury of Chengtian Mansion and several mansions was almost made by Zhang Xuan so that even the mice did not run.

With the silver, everyone's attitude suddenly changed.

But no matter how reliable their attitude is, Zhang Xuan will not use the remnants of the camp.

Although Zhang Xuan had just arrived in Xiangyang City, the news in Xiangyang City had never been cut off. Naturally, I know what Yang Chengzu has done.

Of course, Zhang Xuan didn't think that Yang Chengzu was doing something wrong.

Integrating the remnants of the camp is one of Yang Chengzu's tasks. Yang Chengzu tossed a little, although it was a little inauthentic, but he had no temper to ravage the remnants of the camp. Arrogance has almost polished everything. It's time for the fire.

You can't go any further, or something might go wrong.

Zhang Xuan is naturally going to come out and pretend to be red-faced. Calm them down.

And now Zhang Xuan feels that the most important thing is to get a victory.

Even if it's a small win.

No matter how much you boost morale, it is not as good as the morale boost of victory itself. Moreover, when Zhang Xuan first arrived, the reinforcements still had a sharp spirit, and it was the time to use them, and the victory in this battle could also consolidate Zhang Xuan's authority. Let Zhang Xuan better integrate the top and bottom of Xiangyang City.

Therefore, it is impossible to lose.

Zhang Xuan chose to recapture Bai Wang's body as the goal of his operation, and he looked impassioned, wanting to mourn General Bai's death. not to be insulted in the hands of the Tartars. But in fact, Zhang Xuan and Bai Wang have a bird friendship. Any period of time that is done to the dead is for the living.

Moreover, Zhang Xuan also estimated that the Qing army would not have thought that the Xia army would go out just for a corpse. There is a good chance that it will succeed.

After all, after decades of war, who doesn't hang his head on the waistband of his trousers, it couldn't be simpler for life to come, Li Rugui's corpse, and I didn't see how Xia Jun moved, this is a very simple and cruel fact, and some people care about the living.

And once a person dies, no one cares except your loved ones.

Just like now.

Zhang Xuan said that he would do it, and immediately transferred cavalry, and transferred a lot of cavalry from Yang Chengzu's department, Luo Dai's department, and even from Yang Chengzu's department, a total of 20,000 or 30,000, which is already all the cavalry in Xiangyang City, and can even be said to be a quarter of the total number of cavalry in the Xia army.

Immediately arranged for all the men and horses to prepare, and Zhang Xuan asked the reinforcements led by him to be used as the receivers to line up outside Xiangyang City to block the possible pursuers.

Just after everything was ready, Yang Chengzu asked Zhang Xuan a sentence alone, which made Zhang Xuan's heart skip a beat.
