Since the big event has been decided, Wang Shoutian is not an outsider, although he is not a lord or a superior now, but he is also obedient to orders, so He Wulang gave an order, so that the visitors do not have to stay out overnight, and vacate the house to arrange.

And that night, a banquet was held in the cottage hall and several people were invited to participate.

After taking a hot bath, Wang Shoutian and the others changed into clean clothes, and under the guidance of the mountain people, they came to the hall.

The banquet that has been set up is very rich, all of them are mountain goods, and the fragrance is overflowing.

Whether it is Wang Shoutian, He Zhong and Zhang Yi, they have long been hungry, and because they are in a hurry and other reasons, the food is very simple.

Among the mountain people, in addition to He Wulang, there are He Qi, and several other mountain people's leaders.

"That's the thing, after the banquet, we have to prepare for the battle, and we will send troops tomorrow morning!" In the hall, He Wulang said his decision very seriously and waved his hand.

Several big men came up with a large tray prepared in advance, and the tray was filled with large bowls of wine, and the large bowls were placed in turn in front of the long table in front of everyone.

"Come, everyone is ready to shed blood! After drinking this bowl of wine, we will follow Lord Wang and kill the enemy together! A bright future for his wife and children!" When everything was ready, He Wu said passionately.

"Kill the enemy together, kill the enemy together!" shouted the mountain people.

When the enthusiasm of the crowd subsided a little, the ceremony was officially announced.

Led by Wang Shoutian and He Wulang, the mountain people followed, one of them held a bowl of wine in his hand, and the wine contained their blood, and drank it with his head up.

"Happy!" After drinking the wine in his hand, He Wulang happily invited the guests to take a seat, and after that, the preparations were discussed at the banquet, and everyone discussed.

He Wulang ordered a total of 300 people, and even counting He Qi, it can be regarded as an elite.

"Please also ask your Excellency to command. He Wulang said politely.

"This can't be helped, Gorou is brave and good at fighting, deeply respected, and familiar with the mountains and forests, this specific command, Gorou is in charge of the right way. Wang Shoutian said, seeing that He Wulang was still going to refuse, and said solemnly: "The place where soldiers live and die, you must be careful, commanded by me, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve good results, and only by commanding Wulang can I be handy." ”

"Besides, attacking the main camp of the enemy capital, although there are many troops deployed at this time, and even empty, but the elite soldiers who stay in the main camp are a hard bone, how can it be such a child's play?"

Seeing Wang Shoutian say this, He Wulang and several mountain leaders were very satisfied, so several meetings were carried out very successfully.

That night, the cold moon was clear, the wind was very cold, and the roar of the wild beasts in the mountains could be faintly heard.

In the swarthy cottage, the light of the red bonfire can be seen everywhere.

The cottage room was limited, and sixty people poured in at once, of course, there were always some people who vacated the room for the soldiers to sleep, and in the flat ground, the mountain people did not rest immediately, and many relatives prepared for their men to go to work.

The spears are checked one by one, the long knives are sharpened with blades, the bows are checked with elasticity, and there are many self-made rattan armor from the mountain people, which is no worse than leather armor.

A moment later, from an attic, the sound of a flute was heard.

The melodious sound of the flute, rippling in the quiet moonlight, filled the crowd, as if it was a bird with a spirit surname, passing through the quiet deep valley...... There is both the desire to go home and the joy of getting food.

The originally noisy square suddenly fell silent, and both the mountain people and the soldiers temporarily put their minds down and listened to the sound of the flute.

The many faces reflected in the roaring light of the bonfire carry the shadows left by the hard work of life, and at the same time reveal the involuntary sentimental look of life.

Zhang Yi, who was patrolling, couldn't help but stop and listen.

After a song, the aftermath gradually disappeared on the city wall and stone steps, and after a moment's pause, it caused the echoes of everyone, the sound of emotion, and the awe-inspiring collision of the nail leaves.

"It's a petty official, I didn't expect it to be this flute!" He Zhong raised his head and muttered, the moonlight was like water, which made the young man suddenly sigh with emotion.

In a small attic, Wang Shoutian put down the flute, was silent for a moment, and looked at it in contemplation.

Although it seems easy today, it is not easy, if he didn't finally use the Jiedu to give him privately, the silver feather sword talisman that can only be used in case of a while, and use the Jiedu to suppress it, otherwise, even if his tongue is like a flower, it will be difficult to have this effect.

But, no matter what, it worked!

"Chen Xiang!" Wang Shoutian carefully recalled this name, this is the person who defeated his own army and killed Lu Yan, because in his memory, it was also the first time that Wang Shoutian failed, was besieged by the city, and was not guaranteed, so Wang Shoutian was particularly impressed by him.

From the perspective of later generations, Chen Xiang was not a famous general, although he won the battle, because he did not occupy important places, he only received some financial rewards in Changding Town.

Later, Chen Xiang was defeated by Li Chengye, killed, and offered his head, which made Wang Shoutian at that time very happy and promoted Li Chengye, not wanting to become a disaster in the future.

Even if in history, he was killed after two years, but after all, he was a figure who became the commander of the capital, and with his current pattern, it was not easy to kill him.

However, this matter is imperative, above the head, between the white gas and the red gas, there is a large piece of hazy gray gas temporarily, this is the amount of qi borrowed, and it is also the capital of this small challenge to fate!

Wenyang County, Jiedu envoy study

Secretary Lang Li Xian, took a volume of bulletin, and hurriedly walked in, Li Xian was originally an elegant person, his demeanor was leisurely and calm, calm and relaxed, and he was rarely so hasty now.

When he arrived at the door, he whispered, "My lord, the minister has an urgent report." ”

Originally, the imperial court system was not allowed to be called "lord", but now there are many feudal towns, the court is declining, and each has its own master, and this lord has been implemented for a hundred years.

"Ahem, come in!" waited for a moment, and a voice came from inside.

Li Xian pushed the door in, and saw the office envoy under the window, with stacks of documents on his desk, occupying the eight-foot-long and four-foot-wide public case.

On the desk, the festival made Wang Zunzhi, in fact, not very old, nearly fifty years old, wearing ordinary robes, only a wooden hairpin was inserted in the bun, and the boy who worked hard and grinding ink held his breath and did not dare to make the slightest sound between the ink blocks.

"Heyi, this guy sent a report again, saying that seeing that autumn is coming, the soldiers lack clothes and robes, and they are weak to protect themselves from the cold...... Hmph, you're shouting poverty to me again, don't you know how much food and clothing you sent to the army last time you were privately detained by this guy?" Wang Zunzhi's words fell in the study.

Li Xian listened to his words, already adjusted his breathing, and said: "Why should the lord lose his temper, in today's world, the general is a little rebellious, and uses official affairs to seek personal interests, this is also a human habit, only by pacifying the land, setting up more armies, and all moderation, can things be done." ”

Wang Zunzhi, the envoy of the festival, laughed, coughed twice, and said: "That's good, but you came in a hurry just now, and your steps were a little anxious, this doesn't look like you...... Is there something big going on?"

Li Xian was sad, the relationship between him and the Jiedu envoy was not an ordinary master-slave relationship, and they were a little bit of a heart-to-heart and outspoken relationship with each other.

Of course, it can also be seen that although Wang Zunzhi is not wise and martial, but it can also be called magnificent, but unfortunately, when Wang Zunzhi succeeded to the throne, he was already thirty-six years old.

The most sympathetic thing is that several sons died young, and the only eldest son fell and died last year, so he had to choose an heir among the same clan, but the so-called white-haired people sent black-haired people.

"Lord, Lu Yan's army was defeated and suffered heavy losses, and the deputy general Qian Xin retreated to Zhengding County. Li Xian bowed his head respectfully and spit out the report.

"What?" Wang Zunzhi clicked, this was the sound of a brush breaking, leaving a large ink ball on an official document.

"With an army of 1,500 and defeated by 800 people, Lu Yan is really getting better and better, what about others?" After a while, Wang Zunzhi's suppressed angry voice resounded in the study.

“...... According to the battle report, he has been killed in battle!" Li Xianying listened, listening to this angry voice, even he was a little frightened.

“...... So, what about everyone?" Wang Zunzhi asked, this seemed to be a clueless statement, but he knew that Li Xian knew what he meant.

"The lord, Wang Xuanzhi and Wang Zhongyi, have all returned to Zhengding County and guarded the city with the deputy general Qian Xin, and Wang Shoutian's whereabouts are unknown. Li Xian continued to say.

Wang Zunzhi closed his eyes, as if he was contemplative, silent, unable to see the reality and the false.

But more than ten years ago, it was the newly widowed woman of the same clan...... It was this night that he had an extra son, but of course this kind of ugly thing can't be publicized, and Wang Zunzhi is just secretly taking care of it.

originally thought that this son would live a dull life, after all, he had a son, but the third son died young, and the eldest son fell to his death, and a series of [***] fell on him.

But my heart kept tumbling, God, you have already taken my three sons, do you want to take the last one?

Wang Zunzhi slowly opened his eyes, slowly stood up, opened the window, stared out of the window, and remained motionless.

There was silence outside the window, only the autumn was crisp, and he couldn't help coughing, coughing and coughing, and his hands were a little bright red.

Quietly hiding the red in his sleeve, Wang Zunzhi said: "Yanshan Du Lu Yan has always been loyal and righteous, and he died on the battlefield, so that his son can shadow his exploits, and he will be the captain of Xuanwu and lead a guard. ”

"Its deputy general Qian Xin, the battle is unfavorable, demoted to one level, with Xuanwu Lieutenant, leading a guard, and its Yanshan are all commanding the candidates, temporarily shelved, and after they are replenished, they will be selected for merit. ”

"The defeat in the big war cannot shake the fundamentals, and I will personally lead the righteous army to support. ”

After Wang Zunzhi finished speaking, he coughed a few more times.

The righteous army is the foundation of Wang Zunzhi, and it is the capital that controls the other three capitals and maintains the status of the commander, with a total of 2,000 people, of which 200 are known as the elite of the elite, called the black guard.

"Lord?" Li Xianxian did not write the order, and looked at it with concern.

"I'm fine, just follow this order!" Wang Zunzhi closed his eyes and said tiredly.

"No!" Li Xian bowed respectfully and began to polish the order.
