The soldier led this horse is Zhang Jincheng's mount, with a strong physique, strong limbs, snow-white body, without a single stray hair, it is a rare horse.

Zhang Xuan patted the horse's back and smiled: "This horse is called Baihe, and I originally wanted to give it to the handsome, but since I promised you, this horse will belong to you." ”

Qin Yong's horse is an old horse, although it is also a war horse, but it is very old, and it is very difficult to carry him and the copper hammer, how to get a good horse is Qin Yong's biggest heart disease.

He saw that Luo Shixin got a good horse from Zhang Xuan, which made him envious, and he pestered Zhang Xuan when he had the opportunity, but he didn't expect Zhang Xuan to really give him a good horse.

Qin Yong was overjoyed, turned over and jumped off the horse with a shout, stepped forward and grabbed the reins of the war horse, and said to Pei Xingyan urgently: "This is the war horse that the second uncle gave me, you are not allowed to rob it!" ”

Pei Xingyan pursed his lips disdainfully, "Stinky boy who has not dried up, who rarely robs you." ”

If Pei Xingyan dared to say that his milk stink had not dried up, Qin Yong would definitely jump up in anger, but today he couldn't take care of it.

"I don't care, no one is allowed to rob me anyway, not even Dashuai."

Qin Yong led the war horse like a baby, the more he looked at it, the more he loved it, Zhang Xuan smiled and asked, "Your father is going to Luoyang, will you go with him?" ”

"Daddy said let me go to see the world, second uncle?"

"I haven't made a final decision yet! Take me to meet the big handsome first. ”

"Hey! Second uncle come with me. ”

Qin Yonghuan happily led the way in front and walked towards the county government with Zhang Xuan and his party.

Wei Chigong, who had been silent, slowly urged the horse to Zhang Xuan, and laughed in a low voice: "This favor General Qin should accept it!" ”

Zhang Xuan smiled slightly, "I hope so!" ”

Not long after, everyone escorted the cart to the county office, Zhang Xutuo had received the news, led a group of officials out to greet him, Zhang Xuan sent 150,000 yuan, for them it was simply a charcoal in the snow.

Zhang Xutuo was extremely happy, and hurriedly asked Jun Cheng to take the cart to the warehouse first, Zhang Xuan stepped forward and saluted and smiled: "This time I came in a hurry." There are only copper coins, and the next time I will send food. ”

Zhang Xutuo pulled Zhang Xuan aside and asked in a low voice, "Did Xiao Huairang go to Beihai County two days ago?" ”

Zhang Xuan nodded, "The humble position made him return with a full load." ”

"No wonder he was so polite to me. He also showed me a draft report to the Holy One, which had never been done before. ”

Zhang Xutuo sighed, "It's just that this way makes people feel very uncomfortable." ”

"Dashuai, this can't be helped, after all, he is in control of the fate of all of us."

Zhang Xutuo was silent for a moment and said, "I just received the holy decree today. The Holy Lord asked me to go back to Beijing to report on my work, and I gave me a bunch of titles, but none of them were what I wanted. ”

Zhang Xuan saw that Zhang Xutuo's expression was different, so he asked, "Dashuai, what happened?" ”

Zhang Xutuo shook his head, "This time, only my reward has arrived, but there is no news of yours, and there is no reward and beneficiality for the soldiers, so I am under a lot of pressure." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Xutuo said apologetically: "This extermination of Zhang Jin is completely your credit. I wrote it very clearly in the report, but the court ignored it, and if the court did not say anything, then I would not accept the title given to me. ”

Zhang Xuan is also a little strange, if he didn't have his own reward, Pei Ju would definitely send someone to tell him first, but there is no news from Pei Ju's side now, and Zhang Xutuo's reward is a bit abrupt, not like a normal reward.

"Is the handsome man going to enter Beijing?"

Zhang Xutuo nodded, since the Holy Lord wanted him to go back. He was sure to go back, and he asked, "Why don't you go to the Heroes Club too?" ”

"Let's go to the three of us, and we will go to Beijing with Dashuai."

Zhang Xuan saw that there was no one left and right, and said in a low voice: "This time, I also brought a batch of gold, silver and jewelry with me when I entered Beijing. Dashuai will see who to send, and I will make specific arrangements. ”

Zhang Xutuo smiled bitterly: "Don't ask me about this kind of thing, I'm most afraid of this kind of gift-giving, you can do it yourself!" ”

"Then draw up a list first, and then show it to the marshal."

"You can do it yourself!"

Zhang Xutuo patted him on the shoulder, "Now I only care about what official position the imperial court gives you." Otherwise I wouldn't have been able to sleep. ”

Two days later, a group of more than 20 people left Licheng County, they pretended to be a caravan to the capital, the Qingzhou army was temporarily led by the deputy marshal Pei Renji, and Zhang Xuan's army in Beihai County was also handed over to Wei Yunqi commander.

This time, the imperial court of the Heroes Association had a clear rule that people from all over the country who came to Beijing to participate in the Heroes Meeting were not allowed to bring more than 20 people, so except for the dozen or so personal soldiers brought by Zhang Xutuo, the rest of the generals basically did not bring an entourage.

Zhang Xuan, Wei Chigong, Pei Xingyan, Qin Qiong, Luo Shixin, Qin Yong and You Junda, these are the seven people of the Flying Eagle Army who participated in the Heroes Meeting.

In addition, he brought five or six pack horses, which were specially used to check luggage and weapons, such as the sledgehammers used by Pei Xingyan and Qin, the halberd of Zhang Xuan, and the Wei Tuo staff of Wei Chigong and the iron spear of Luo Shixin, etc., all of which had to be carried by special horses.

Secondly, they also brought a carriage with several large boxes, which were guarded by Zhang Xutuo's personal soldiers.

Since the Yellow River has not completely thawed, they can only go by land, passing through Qi County, Jibei County, Dongping County, Jiyin County, and then passing through the southernmost part of Dongjun, entering Xingyang County, and finally arriving at Luoyang, the eastern capital.

At noon on this day, the group arrived at Fengqiu County, the southernmost part of East County, which is more than 200 miles away from Wagang Village, which is basically safer, everyone is not worried about the little thief, but they are still more careful about Wagang Village, they have a vicious battle with the Wagang Army, and everyone does not want to meet the Wagang Army in East County.

"Big shopkeeper, go to the county seat and have a drink! gnawed dry food every day, and the birds faded out of their mouths. Seeing the county city wall in the distance, Luo Shixin finally couldn't help but scream, and wanted to enter the county town to drink a glass of wine.

The big shopkeeper is Zhang Xutuo, he knocked on Luo Shixin's head with a small wooden stick, and scolded with a smile: "Just you don't stop all the way, you want this and that, when you see someone Qiaolang, who is one year younger than you, they are quiet, you are like a monkey." ”

Luo Shixin covered his head and shouted, "Where is he quiet, he dragged me to hunt last night, he tossed more than me, I just want to have a glass of wine." ”

Qin Yong smiled, but did not say anything.

Pei Xingyan patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Qin Qiaolang is smarter than you, and he never makes a fuss in front of the handsome, but you kid is the opposite, even I can't help but want to knock you." ”

Speaking of this, Pei Xingyan also smiled at Zhang Xutuo: "But it's a good idea to go into the city for a drink, big shopkeeper, you just knock him a few more times, and then agree!" ”

"You bastard, why did you only knock me!"

Everyone laughed together, and Zhang Xutuo saw that everyone wanted to enter the city, so he smiled and said: "Okay, let's go into the city and have a drink, I'll say okay first, drink a drink and leave, don't make trouble!" ”

"Don't make trouble! Don't make trouble! Let's have a drink and go. ”

Luo Shixin was as active as a monkey, urging the horse to lead the way in front, "I've been here twice, and the Baiwei Restaurant in the center of the county is the most famous, I'll take you there." ”

Fengqiu County belongs to the territory of Yang Qing, who is the imperial family of the Great Sui, was named King Xun, led an army of 30,000 to sit in Xingyang County, and was responsible for protecting Luokoucang, the largest granary of the Great Sui.

In fact, the main enemy faced by the Sui army in Xingyang County was the Wagang army, Yang Qing had led the army to attack the Wagang army many times, but each time he was defeated, but he was good at covering up, and Yang Guang did not know that he had been defeated repeatedly.

Fengqiu County is a middle county, with a circumference of more than ten miles, a population of less than 200,000, because this is the junction of Dongjun and Xingyang, it is the only way to pass through the trade road, the business is very developed, and you can see caravans leading mules and horses everywhere.

Zhang Xutuo and his entourage also took dozens of mules and horses, carrying the specialties of Qi County, pretending to be merchants to cross the border, they gave the officers guarding the city a few pieces of money, and then walked through the city effortlessly, and immediately although the weapons were covered with cloth covers, they were still very conspicuous, and the defending army also turned a blind eye to let them enter the city.

Zhang Xutuo shook his head and said to Zhang Xuan: "One leaf can know the autumn, from the soldiers guarding the door, it can be seen that the Sui army here is not disciplined, and they let us enter the city without even asking, what if we come to take the city?" If the defenders of Qi County dare to make such nonsense, I will have to kill them. ”

Zhang Xuan smiled faintly: "Although this Yang Qing is a royal family, he is very mediocre, I heard that he has a close relationship with Yuwenshu, and he has always been jealous of the virtuous and jealous, so the handsome don't have to worry about this kind of person." ”

"It's the big shopkeeper!" Luo Shixin, who was eavesdropping with his ears pricked up on the side, hurriedly corrected.

Zhang Xuan smiled and kicked it, almost kicking Luo Shixin off the horse, "If you say one more thing, you won't be allowed to drink." ”

Luo Shixin was not afraid of Zhang Xutuo, but he was a little afraid of Zhang Xuan, he stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to say anything.

After a while, they came to the front of the restaurant, a bartender came up to greet him warmly, Zhang Xutuo instructed his soldiers to take care of the war horses and weapons, and bought them a lot of meatloaf, and then led everyone up to the third floor, and everyone entered a private room and sat down.

Luo Shixin excitedly shouted to the bartender: "Your store's five-year cellar wine, bring us a barrel." (To be continued.) )
