Inside the Zhang Mansion.

Since Zhang Qiongshan's death, the atmosphere in the mansion has been very depressed.

Zhang Youwei did not even let Zhang Qiongshan be buried, but placed Zhang Qiongshan's coffin in a different mansion.

After killing Wu Nian, he took Wu Nian's head to pay homage to Zhang Qiongshan.

But there was no good news, instead bad news kept coming.

The trio sent by the Zhang family to Beishan Fort not only did not come back, but they were also reportedly killed by Wu Nian. The entire Beishan Fort Hundred Household Office, from the hundred households, the general banner, down to the ordinary military households, seemed to be related to Wu Nian

One heart.

This was completely unexpected by Zhang Youwei.

In the hall, Zhang Youwei was wearing plain clothes and sitting on the imperial chair. He had calmed down now, but his face was terrifyingly cold.

He was waiting for someone, a general from the Zhang family.

Ban Bian Zhang has many people in the officialdom, but he really doesn’t have many connections among military households. But for Ban Bian Zhang, who is such a powerful force, he always has some talented people under his command.

Moreover, although Zhang Youwei did not accomplish much, his father was a man with a very unique vision.

His father had long thought that there would be chaos in Liaodong and that a scholarly family could not guarantee the inheritance of Ban Bian Zhang. Ban Bian Zhang also needed force. So he sent many Zhang children to practice martial arts.

People like Zhang Ningding, although not ordinary people, are not actually the core of the Zhang family's military force.

The real core force of the Zhang family is named Zhang Bu. He is Zhang Youwei's grandfather's cousin. He is thirty-eight years old this year and is at his prime.

Zhang Bu has been very strong and strong since he was a child. When he was a boy, he followed the guards at home to practice martial arts. When he grew up, he was sent to the generals of Liaodong to learn horse racing, riding skills, and commanding troops in battle.

Ban Bian Zhang also colluded with the Mongolian Yuan people in private. Zhang Bu once went to the Mongolian Yuan people and learned from the Mongolian Yuan warriors.

Zhang Youwei is of course the absolute core and the banner of Ban Bian Zhang.

But Zhang Bu is the core of the Zhang family's military force and a true general. He is countless times stronger than Zhang Ningding and others.

During this time, Zhang Bu was away on official business. Zhang Youwei then asked Zhang Ningding to lead the troops to contact Wu Nian. If Zhang Bu was there, he would go there.

"If it were my brother Zhang Bu and Wu Nian, you would have been killed long ago." Zhang Youwei gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

At this moment, there was a sound of steady footsteps. Zhang Youwei's eyes lit up and he quickly looked up, only to see a bear and tiger striding in.

He is really a bear and a tiger, with a height of 1.9 meters.

He has a Chinese character face that is calm and intimidating, a pair of tiger eyes are gleaming, and a full beard adds to the power. His shoulders are very broad and different from ordinary people, with a bear's back and a tiger's waist, and a pair of arms that are thick and long, like ape's arms.

This pair of ape arms is extremely good at bending a bow and shooting arrows. With a horse's length eight feet in his hands, he can lift a heavy weight as if it were light, making him invincible.

"Brother Bu, you are finally back." Zhang Youwei looked happy, stood up and walked quickly to Zhang Bu, raised his hands and put them on Zhang Bu's shoulders.

In front of this giant, Zhang Youwei was like a woman, a little bird clinging to him.

"Brother, I've heard about Qiongshan. Give me a thousand soldiers and horses. I'll eat and drink for a day and then go to Beishan Fort tomorrow to kill Wu Nian."

Zhang Bu's voice was extremely majestic, his tiger eyes were gleaming with cold light, and his momentum was decisive.

"Okay. Bu Di is here. Then Wu Nian is just a clown. Qiongshan's great revenge can be avenged." Zhang Youwei listened to his cousin's sonorous and powerful voice, and his whole body was filled with strength, and he clapped again.

He patted Zhang Bu's shoulders, took Zhang Bu's hand and said, "Let's go. We brothers haven't gotten together for a long time. Let's go have a drink."

"Okay." Zhang Bu nodded happily and agreed.

For this meal, Zhang Bu ate a full two kilograms of beef, a duck, three kilograms of old wine, and some steamed buns. After eating, he took a walk and fell asleep to recharge his batteries.

Early the next morning, Ban Bian Zhang did not hide anything at all, and openly gathered a thousand soldiers. Some of them wore armor and leather armor.

Together with some domestic slaves and auxiliary troops, and heavy baggage vehicles, they gathered at the south gate of the city.

The flag with the word "Zhang" was also erected, flying in the wind and making a hunting sound, like a dragon with teeth and claws, soaring to the sky.

Under the banner.

Zhang Bu was wearing Mingguang armor, holding a steed that was eight feet long, and sitting astride a black horse with four white hooves, looking majestic.

Zhang Youwei was sent off by the county magistrate Bao Wei, and there were many people watching.

"Bu Di, the victory is over." Zhang Youwei ordered someone to take the daughter's red wine that had been collected for twenty years, poured it into a wine bowl, and handed it to Zhang Bu.

Zhang Bu bent down and reached out to take it, drank it in one gulp, and then threw the bowl down with a loud bang.

"Let's go." Zhangbule rode south and galloped away. The team's carriages and horses roared as they headed towards Beishan Fort.

The county magistrate Bao Wei broke out in cold sweat and wet his clothes.

Troubled times, really troubled times.

The Zhang family's private soldiers actually dared to attack the Chu State's military household system like Beishan Fort.

The people watching around looked at the excitement.

"Ban Bian Zhang has indeed been accumulating troops over the years, and his troops and horses are strong. Wu Nian was so bold that he dared to kill Ban Bian Zhang's third young master. But that's the end of it. I've been to Beishan Fort. The walls leaked and rats were everywhere.

It can’t be stopped. How can it be possible to stop Ban Bian Zhang’s private soldiers?”

"Yes. Especially Zhang Bu. He is really powerful. He is a famous figure throughout Liaodong. He is much more powerful than many military attachés who were born as generals."

"Then Wu Nian is also a good man, but it's a pity that his sharp edge is too exposed. As the saying goes, if you are too strong, it will be easy to break. He is too strong and does not understand the principle of hiding a sword in a box."

People were talking a lot.

The news that Zhang Qiongshan was killed by Wu Nian has spread. But Zhang was not stupid and did not spread the news that he had tricked Wu Nian first and that a hundred soldiers were killed by Wu Nian.

One hundred soldiers plus one Zhang Ningding were killed by Xiao Xiaoqi.

It's so shameless.

People are full of pessimism about Wu Nian's survival.

Dead.

It's a pity too.

Over the years, there have been some people who resisted Ban Zhang, but they were just like splashes of water, too small and short-lived. Only Wu Nian was so vigorous.

This is a good man.

Beishan Fort.

Beishan Fort is so small that a slight disturbance can spread throughout the castle. The official paid for it, and Li Yong came forward to organize manpower to repair the city wall.

The news has already spread.

The military households in Beishan Fort are miserable. Although there are fields outside the fort, many of them are officials. The biggest landowner now is Wu Nian.

Although Wu Nian hired people to do farm work and paid him, he couldn't cope with the situation. There were too many people with nothing to do.

When I heard that the government was going to repair the city wall, regardless of men, women, old and young, I signed up in a hurry.

Li Yong organized 300 men in half a day, and then assigned them to work on repairing the city wall, no, almost rebuilding the city wall.

The walls of Beishan Fort are not even worth repairing.

Too shabby.

This kind of work cannot be completed in a day or two, it will take at least several months.

Rammed soil means pounding the soil continuously, adding a little glutinous rice, and adding some wood as a framework, which is quite laborious.
Chapter completed!
