I saw Zhang Zhengchen riding a horse to the front of the formation.

Hao Yaoqi felt a little at ease when he saw that the imperial envoy was so young.

"General Hao, this situation will only cause panic among the people in Changsha. Why don't we withdraw our troops and return to camp for the time being?"

"What about our food and grass?"

"I am temporarily stationed in the camp with you. You have no food, and I am also starving. Let's see if I, the imperial envoy, can starve to death in Changsha."

When Hao Yaoqi heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then laughed, feeling that the imperial envoy in front of him was quite interesting.

The resentment in my heart dissipated instantly.

"Thank you for your hard work, your Majesty the Imperial Envoy!" Hao Yaoqi saluted, then turned his horse's head and prepared to withdraw his troops and evacuate.

Zhang Zhengchen looked around and said to everyone in a neutral tone: "Whether there is food or not, it all depends on your wishes."

Although the words are short, each word is very important.

This made everyone present look extremely embarrassed.

Especially Qu Shichun, he felt that this young man actually used chicken feathers as arrows. He was a small imperial envoy, but he was only a temporary servant. When he returned to the court the next day, he was just a servant.

He Tengjiao did not expect that Zhang Zhengchen would not follow the rules. By doing so, he was forcing his governor's office to deliver food to the Shun army.

In his opinion, it is enough for these loyal soldiers to hang on to their lives. If they are full, there will most likely be trouble again.

"What should I do if I make a table?" Jin Bao asked.

"What else can we do? Let Fu Shangrui send back all the grains he withheld!" He Tengjiao said with a gloomy face.

Jin Bao and Qu Shiqi looked at each other, understanding each other tacitly.

Jinbao then drove his horse to Fu Shangrui's place in Pingjiang to convey He Tengjiao's order.

......

In Pingjiang, Hao Yaoqi led his troops and surrounded Zhang Zhengchen into the Shunjun camp.

Tian Jianxiu, the lord of Shunjun, who had already heard the news, personally took the generals to the camp gate to greet him.

Drums and ceremonial guards lined the aisles to welcome.

It can be said that the Shun army tried their best to welcome the imperial envoy.

Zhang Zhengchen rode on a horse and walked slowly through the crowd.

He saw that the khaki clothes and armor of these soldiers were patched and worn.

All of them have yellow faces and thin muscles, which seems to be caused by long-term lack of food.

But Zhang Zhengchen could tell that the smiles on their faces came from the bottom of their hearts.

Hao Yaoqi personally led Zhang Zhengchen's horse to the Chinese army's tent.

Tian Jianxiu and other Shunjun generals accompanied him all the way.

"Imperial envoy! Please dismount!" Hao Yaoqi smiled naively while half-kneeling on the side of the horse stool, using his strong shoulders to help Zhang Zhengchen settle down.

"General, please get up quickly, it doesn't have to be like this!" Zhang Zhengchen shouted hurriedly.

How could such a dignified and well-known military general bend his knees like this?

Zhang Zhengchen was actually a little moved, and his mood became complicated for a moment.

Knowing that these people in front of me were once Ming Dynasty thieves and had killed countless people, they even attacked the capital.

For Ming Dynasty, these people in front of him had a hatred of destroying the country.

But...the world is currently in a state of flux and foreign enemies are invading us. At this time, both sides will benefit from cooperation, and both sides will lose if we divide.

Li Zicheng is dead and Dashun is dead. If we continue to dwell on the past, it will appear that the structure of the Hangzhou court is too small.

After adjusting his mood, Zhang Zhengchen jumped off the horse from the other side, and then hurriedly helped Hao Yaoqi, who was half kneeling on the ground.

"Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy, please charge the account quickly!" Tian Jianxiu stepped forward and said.

"Please, Marquis Ze!" Zhang Zhengchen said politely.

In the big tent, wine and food have already been prepared.

Zhang Zhengchen frowned, said nothing, and walked straight to the upper table to sit down.

Tian Jianxiu smiled with embarrassment on his face and led all the generals to sit down.

It wasn't until he sat down at the table that Zhang Zhengchen realized that the colorful dishes in front of him were all wild vegetables, and the several meat dishes seemed to be game.

Sighing slightly in his heart, he picked up the wine glass.

"I would like to thank you all for your hospitality. I would like to pay tribute first!"

"Your Majesty, you are welcome!"

After drinking it all in one gulp, Zhang Zhengchen picked up his chopsticks and started eating the food with big mouthfuls.

Tian Jianxiu and others stared at Zhang Zhengchen with round eyes, and couldn't help but feel relieved when they saw that the imperial envoy did not dislike him.

"Forgive me, the imperial envoy. I wanted to send someone to the city to buy some good food, but Fu Daotai's supervision is very strict and we are strictly prohibited from approaching the city." Tian Jianxiu sighed and said helplessly.

"It doesn't matter, this dish is already very good. Whatever you eat, I will eat." Zhang Zhengchen said with a smile.

All the generals of Dashun Army immediately had a favorable impression of this young imperial envoy.

They haven't seen such Ming officials for a long time.

Although he is young, he looks very down-to-earth.

As a result, the atmosphere in the tent gradually became relaxed.

Liu Tichun, the general of the Zuoying system, stood up. He was a Shaanxi man. He toasted crisply and said: "A toast to your lord!"

Zhang Zhengchen stood up, thought for a moment, and slowly spilled a glass of wine on the ground while everyone looked at him in surprise.

Everyone was puzzled. Liu Tichun lowered his wine glass with a puzzled look on his face.

"This glass of wine is dedicated to the people and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who sacrificed their lives in your hands!"

As soon as these words came out, the smiles of Tian Jianxiu and others froze on their faces.

Liu Tichun tightened his grip on the wine glass in his hand and his face became gloomy.

There was silence in the tent, and the atmosphere was a little tense.

This sentence is the biggest obstacle to recruitment now.

It is the chasm between them and the imperial court.

Before Zhang Zhengchen arrived, Tian Jianxiu had already made a serious statement to all the generals not to mention the past.

But I didn't expect that the imperial envoy would take the initiative to bring it up now.

I saw Zhang Zhengchen filling another glass of wine, then spilling it on the ground again, and said slowly: "This glass is for the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty! We, the people of the Ming Dynasty, did not defend the land of the Ming Dynasty, and we are ashamed of our ancestors!"

Tian Jianxiu and others were startled for a moment, then their faces gradually turned into shame. They followed Zhang Zhengchen silently and spilled the drinks in their hands on the ground.

"This last cup commemorates the past of the monarchs and the Ming Dynasty. King Lu supervised the country, the court was newly established, and the brand new Ming Dynasty requires everyone to work together to resist foreign humiliation!"

After saying that, Zhang Zhengchen smashed the empty wine glass in his hand to the ground.

The sound of clattering bowls was heard.

Everyone seemed to be breaking with the past and became excited.

"Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy, we will use the heads of the Tatars to atone for the evil debts we have committed in the past!" Tian Jianxiu immediately expressed his determination.

"Before my arrival, the Supervisor repeatedly warned me not to dwell on the past. You should be grateful to have a wise king like this." Zhang Zhengchen immediately raised his hands in the direction of Hangzhou and said.

Afterwards, he discussed the transfer with Tian Jianxiu and others.

On the other side, in the middle tent of the rear camp, Zhang Huangyan was discussing with Li Jin and Gao Yigong, the leaders of another Shun army.

It was not until dusk that a soldier came to report that Fu Shangrui from Daotai had personally brought food and grass. Zhang Zhengchen, Tian Jianxiu and others went out hand in hand, happily preparing to receive the food and grass.

But when everyone arrived outside the camp gate, they saw Fu Shangrui sitting in a sedan, lifting the curtain and looking at them with a smile.

Next to the sedan is a golden castle on horseback.

Behind him, there were only a dozen donkey carts pulling grain.

Zhang Zhengchen's expression suddenly changed, and his hands behind his back were tightly clenched into fists.

An unknown fire rises in my heart.

How many people can feed just these dozen carts of food?
