Zhang Sanlang's plea for mercy is reasonable and reasonable. Now, inside and outside Mayi, there are thousands of Yuan Junzhang's old troops, and the Tang army also has about three thousand soldiers. Once Liu Baoyin, who records the affairs and joins the army, is beheaded at this time, I am afraid that the gap between the two sides will become deeper, and the Tang army will have more than 3,000 soldiers. It's detrimental to the overall situation.
The final solution was that Liu Bao, who was in charge of the affairs and joined the military, was unfair in his work, was given a 40-year-old cane, and was demoted to treasurer to join the army.
At this time, Li Shan assumed the role of the leading actor, ensuring the supply of food and grass to the surrounding soldiers, military leaders, and the few generals who had just arrived.
But it has to be said that the emergence of Zhang Sanlang made the male protagonist Li Shan's existence extremely weak, that is, this guy is too ugly...
Li Shan couldn't help but guess in his mind that this guy looked like he was in his forties. Listening to his words and observing his actions, he had a measured approach and retreat, and his words were elegant. He didn't look like he was from a grassroots background.
We must know that even ordinary children from poor families did not have no chance to rise up in the troubled times of Sui and Tang Dynasties. For example, Cheng Yaojin and Li Shiji are typical examples.
But this Saburo has a city, means, and courage, but he is just a small military leader?
Eighty percent of the time it's really because he's too ugly, with unflattering ears, a flat nose, and buck teeth. His face is really unsightly.
In any dynasty, in addition to ability, academic qualifications, and family background, being an official also depends on appearance.
Li Shan waved Zhang Sanlang forward with interest, "You still have something to say."
Hearing such a sure tone, Zhang Sanlang was stunned for a moment before nodding vigorously and whispering: "The one who is making noise to everyone is He Xiaodong's personal guard."
Li Shan was familiar with Yuan Junzhang's generals, but he had never heard of this name. "Who?"
"Oh, no wonder!"
"It turns out to be him!"
Qin Wutong and Liu Shirang, who had been in Hedong for a long time, suddenly realized it. The latter sneered and said: "When Duke Rui enters the court, this official wants to have something to do!"
Qin Wutong, who followed Li Shimin in the Battle of Baibi, introduced a few words in a low voice. He Xiaodong, a native of Mayi, was once the general under Liu Wuzhou second only to Song Jingang.
Liu Wuzhou was defeated and fled to the grassland. In the end, he was killed by Jieli Khan because he had a close relationship with Tuli Khan. He Xiaodong and Yuan Junzhang fought for a while, but the latter won in the end and led Liu Wuzhou's remaining troops across Shuozhou and Yunzhou.
Since then, He Xiaodong has lived in seclusion, and even Gao Manzheng's defection cannot be implicated in him... After all, his qualifications are there.
Now Yuan Junzhang has no ambitions and has entered the court to become a minister, but He Xiaodong has sent his personal guards to stir up trouble in secret, obviously for some purpose.
The scene was almost done, Li Shan and his party returned to their residence, with Liu Wu and Zhang Sanlang following behind.
After closing the courtyard door, Li Shan looked around and waved: "Jun Hao stays... uh, Zhang Sanlang stays too."
More than a dozen eyes were cast on Zhang Sanlang, who had an expressionless face. These personal guards were all old men who had been with Li Shan for several years. They knew that although their husband was easy-going, he was arrogant and would be difficult to look at for ordinary people.
Everyone sat down, with Wang Junhao and Zhang Sanlang standing on both sides. Li Shan smiled and asked, "Mr. Liu, I have wronged my brother this time."
"How dare you talk about grievances?" Liu Shirang's old face was still the same, but his tone of voice... If Li Gaoqian and Li Shenfu heard it, they would have thought they had seen a ghost... Would you also speak in this tone?
Qin Wutong nodded and said: "Although there are accidents, things will work out in the end. As long as everyone is treated equally, the soldiers will definitely love the Tang Dynasty."
"What about He Xiaodong?"
Li Shan smiled and nuzzled at Zhang Sanlang, "Please tell me something."
With these few words just now, Zhang Sanlang's expression has changed again and again. What happened today is completely a show. The unfairness of the records and joining the army made the soldiers dissatisfied. The King of Handan dealt with it on the spot and severely punished the generals. Military morale.
Moreover, Zhang Sanlang vaguely guessed that the Handan King's move was probably to lure the snake out of the hole. Now, He Xiaodong ran into it.
Qin Wutong glanced at Zhang Sanlang and said, "Ignore the generals and commanders, but the soldiers should have returned home."
Zhang Sanlang's face changed again. It was indeed true. Just as Liu Wu said in the restaurant today, the generals seek glory and wealth, but the soldiers only want to live in peace. After today, as long as the generals of the Tang army treat everyone equally, let alone He Xiaodong, even if Xi Duo instigates , I’m afraid it’s hard to do anything.
After a pause, Zhang Sanlang bowed and said: "Hiding in the dark, you need to be careful and cautious, but now that it has surfaced, all you need is an order from His Highness to tie it up."
Xue Wanche, who had been silent all this time, asked with great interest: "Is there anyone in Duke Rui's old department who is unruly?"
Zhang Sanlang said decisively without thinking: "Even if I have objections, I will not dare to act."
This is a well-understood logic. If He Xiaodong wanted to cause trouble, it was impossible not to contact the generals and commanders who held real power... But in the end, it was He Xiaodong's personal guards who personally took action and stirred up trouble, while the other generals did not move at all.
Xue Wanche became interested, "Are you from Mayi?"
Zhang Sanlang prostrated himself on the ground, but his direction was directly towards Li Shan, "I would like to express my gratitude to you, my surname is Zhang, I am the third in rank, and I am from Yangzhou. I was exiled to the frontier and joined the army in the past. In the 13th year of my great career, I was coerced into joining the army..."
Li Shan listened absently, still thinking about business, but inadvertently, his eyes met Zhang Sanlang's head.
A feeling of déjà vu suddenly came to mind, and the emotions in his eyes were the same ones Li Shan once had... hope, ambition, unwillingness...
But in the past life, I was able to use the college entrance examination as a bridge to carve out a bloody path. This was a shortcut given to farmers by the times.
And what about Zhang Sanlang?
Over forty years old, he is still unknown and a small military leader. In terms of class comparison, compared to the King of Handan of the Tang Dynasty, he is just a piece of grass.
Li Shan put away his casual expression and asked directly: "Do you want to follow Gu?"
"I am willing to die for His Highness."
Li Shan stood up and said: "Although a certain person has not yet been crowned, he is already famous all over the world...Brother Wu Tong, isn't that an exaggeration?"
Qin Wutong laughed and said: "Not only is the name famous all over the world, Huairen's name will definitely be remembered and respected by future generations!"
"Both civil and military figures." Liu Shirang boasted in a very rare way: "His Royal Highness wrote essays and recited poems. He showed his talent in military strategy in several battles in Shandong and Hedong."
"It's too much praise. It's too much praise." Li Shan blushed a little.
Xue Wanche was not very clear-headed, so he thought for a while and added: "There is no other person in the world who sleeps like a flower and drunk on a willow!"
Li Shan's face darkened, and he smiled and cursed: "Then trouble Brother Xue, let's see how many rounds Saburo can go in your hands!"
Xue Wanche was quite interested in this. He found two sticks and threw one to Zhang Sanlang, "Come on, come on!"
Li Shan was too lazy to look, so he turned his head and asked, "What did Liu Wu say?"
Wang Junhao reported a few words in a low voice, and Li Shan's expression gradually became weird.
After a while, the duel between the two came to an end. Xue Wanche was a famous general in Hebei. Although he did not have a real sword or a real spear, he could not defeat his opponent for a while.
"That's all." Li Shan squinted his eyes and looked at Zhang Sanlang, "Do you really want to be an orphan's personal guard?"
After a pause, seeing that Zhang Sanlang didn't speak immediately, Li Shan sighed, "It is indeed Medicine Master Li!"
Li Shan really didn't expect that he would meet Zhang Zhongjian, one of the most mysterious Three Heroes in history, here.
"Brother Shen!"
"Um!"
When Shen Changqing walks on the road, whenever he meets someone he knows, he will say hello or nod to each other.
But no matter who it is.
There was no unnecessary expression on everyone's face, as if they were indifferent to everything.
To this.
Shen Changqing has become accustomed to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, an organization that maintains the stability of the Qin Dynasty. Its main responsibility is to kill monsters and monsters. Of course, there are also some other side jobs.
It can be said.
Everyone in the Demon Suppression Division has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is used to seeing life and death, he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but he got used to it over time.
The Demon-Suppressing Division is huge.
Those who can stay in the Demon Suppressing Division are all powerful masters, or those who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppressor Division is divided into two professions, one is the Guardian Envoy and the other is the Demon Slayer.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Department starts from the lowest level as a demon slayer.
Then he will be promoted step by step, and he is expected to eventually become a guardian envoy.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level among the demon slayers.
Possessing the memory of a previous life.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of a loft.
Unlike other places in the Demon Suppressing Division that were full of chills, the attic here seemed to stand out from the crowd, showing a different kind of tranquility in the bloody Demon Suppressing Division.
At this time, the attic door was open, and occasionally people came in and out.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment before stepping in.
Enter the attic.
The environment changes in vain.
The fragrance of ink mixed with the faint smell of blood hit his face, making him frown instinctively, but then relaxed it quickly.
There is almost no way to cleanse away the smell of blood on everyone in the Demon-Suppressing Division.
