The dung beetle smelled the dog shit...

Suddenly, four war horses sped out of Dongjiabao and ran towards Zhang Zhun. The two young men were in front of him, and the two behind him were stubbed followers. The stubbed followers were carrying red tassel spears, which seemed to be the weapons of two young men. The two red tassel spears were slightly longer than ordinary red tassel spears, and the surface was silver-white. If you guessed correctly, they should have been made of good steel and are of great value.

They came to Zhang Zhun, looked at Zhang Zhun suspiciously, and then looked at the Hu Ben Army behind Zhang Zhun. The young man in front of him asked vigilantly: "Who are you?"

Zhang Zhun bowed his hand in a regular manner, bowed his fists and said in a deep voice: "Zhang Zhun, Shandong, is here to visit Mr. Dong San."

The faces of those people were a little surprised. Obviously, they did not expect that Zhang Zhun would come to Dongjiabao. The Hejian Prefecture in Northern Zhili bordered Jinan Prefecture in Shandong. Zhang Zhun made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace in Shandong. People in Dongjiabao could not know Zhang Zhun's name. What's more, the Tartar heads escorted by Shi Kefa that day had to pass by Hejian Prefecture. Now Zhang Zhun suddenly appeared in front of them, no wonder they were surprised. No one would doubt Zhang Zhun's identity. Now, anyone can pretend to be Zhang Zhun, but there is no benefit at all.

A slightly gentle young man came up and returned the salute to Zhang Zhun, saying respectfully: "It turns out that the governor is here, and he is in a bad way to welcome him. Dong Daowu is here, this is my younger brother Dong Huaxia."

Zhang Zhun nodded, bowed with fists, and said casually: "Zhang took the liberty to come and visit him. Please ask Mr. Dong San not to be surprised."

Dong Daowu hurriedly said, "You are welcome, you are welcome."

While the two were talking, a follower had already turned his horse's head quickly and galloped towards Dongjiabao, so he naturally went to inform Dong Sanhuai of information. Zhang Zhun from Shandong actually came to Dongjiabao. Such information was enough to shock Dong Sanhuai.

The young man named Dong Huaxia seemed to be a little resistant to Zhang Zhun. He looked at the entourage behind Zhang Zhun and said in a flash: "Is the Governor here to persuade us to rebel?"

Dong Daowu hurriedly turned his head and looked at his younger brother.

However, Dong Huaxia changed her words at all, and stared at Zhang Zhun with a staring look.

Zhang Zhun shook his head casually and said calmly: "No. It's the Tartars about to knock south, I'm going to turn your Dongjiabao into a battlefield."

Dong Daowu and Dong Huaxia both took a breath of air conditioning.

Are the Tartars about to knock south?

Dongjiabao becomes a battlefield?

It feels amazing no matter how you hear it?

"Who is Zhang Zhun?"

Suddenly, a thunderous sound came.

I only saw that the doors of Dongjiabao were all opened, and dozens of war horses were speeding out from inside. An old man in front of me had a rosy face, straight waist, and black hair, and two black iron gallbladders were rubbed in his hands. It was the two young men, the owner of Dongjiabao, and the Wu Jinshi Dong Sanhuai, a scholar.

Dong Sanhuai's body is very strong. There are not many people who are not strong in martial arts. Physical quality is the basic element of martial arts and is the most important thing for martial arts practitioners. Xiao Li's flying sword and other things are just legendary. Those with poor physical fitness cannot become a good martial arts practitioner.

Zhang Zhun stared at the other party with glittering eyes, feeling the other party's domineering aura and aggressive eyes. It is obvious that Dong Sanhuai was full of vigilance about his arrival. From this, it is speculated that if he and Dong Sanhuai discussed the rebellion, this Wu Jinshi would not welcome him. He bowed his hand casually and said calmly: "I guess this is Master Dong San?"

Dong Sanhuai looked up and down at Zhang Zhun, his eyes a little strange. He was indeed very alert to Zhang Zhun's arrival. Although the relationship between Dongjiabao and the local government was not very harmonious, he did not want to be labeled as a thief. Because once he was labeled such a hat, his hand would be long. His family had a great career and did not want to be implicated by the thief. His voice was very bright, and he said as if he was thunderous: "I am Dong Sanhuai, you can call me Lao Dong. Are you the Governor Zhang?"

Zhang Zhun nodded and said sternly: "Is that Zhang Zhun."

The two then smiled slightly and stepped forward to shake hands.

The handshake gifts of the ancients were made with both hands. Dong Sanhuai's big hands firmly held Zhang Zhun's hands, which looked very enthusiastic. In fact, this was also the meaning of secret competition. Dong Sanhuai, who was a martial arts scholar, certainly wanted to see how much Zhang Zhun was. Sure enough, Zhang Zhun felt the huge pressure on Mr. Dong's wrist. This Mr. Dong, who had been practicing guns for a long time, had thick calluses in his palms, pressing on Zhang Zhun's hands, as if he was pressed by cracked bark, which was indeed very uncomfortable.

However, Zhang Zhun's hand strength is not small. In terms of hand strength, he is certainly not a match for Dong Sanhuai, but it is impossible for Dong Sanhuai to rely on hand strength to convince Zhang Zhun. Under Dong Sanhuai's intentional pressure, Zhang Zhun was still chatting and laughing, calm and composed, as if he could not feel the heavy pressure brought by Dong Sanhuai at all.

After a while, Dong Sanhuai felt that he could not impress Zhang Zhun, so he let go and said cheerfully: "The Governor is indeed well-known, please welcome!"

Zhang Zhun smiled and said, "Third Master, can I bring all the people into the fort?"

Dong Sanhuai ignored everyone behind Zhang Zhun and said casually: "Of course."

Zhang Zhun nodded and smiled quietly.

Behind him, fifty snipers. The injured snipers in the Huangxian battle have all recovered and returned to the team one after another. Dong Sanhuai obviously did not take such people seriously. Northern Zhili and Shandong are two different provinces after all, and the information communication between each other will not be very smooth. Dong Sanhuai must know his name and the great victory in Huangxian. However, Dong Sanhuai may not be clear about some details. For example, the power of the Hu Ben Gun.

"Governor, please!"

"Master Dong San, please!"

Zhang Zhun and Dong Sanhuai gave in to each other, walked side by side, and slowly walked towards Dongjiabao. After a while, they arrived at the door of Dongjiabao. The gate of Dongjiabao was connected together with large pieces of wood, and the thinnest part was half a foot thick. There were also large copper nails on it, the largest copper nail, which was about the size of a thumb. At the back of the door, there were several iron rods cross-fixed, which were obviously very strong.

Behind the gate, there are many huge rocks. The largest rock is ten feet tall and two or three feet wide. Such huge rocks will definitely not be dragged without dozens of people. If the guess is correct, these huge rocks should be used to prevent the city gate from being destroyed when necessary. If the inside of the city gate is pressed by huge rocks, it will be difficult for people outside to break open even if they use mulberry.

The place inside Dongjiabao is not very big, the streets are even narrow, and there are no shops or stalls. All you can see are a large number of stones, wood, rockets, turrets, swords, guns, swords, halberds and other weapons. In fact, to be precise, Dongjiabao is a refuge, not a town. Most people in Dongjia Village live outside, and only when they encounter danger will they enter Dongjiabao to take refuge. The shops and stalls are also outside the fort.

"please!"

Dong Sanhuai took Zhang Zhun to the door of the conference hall inside Dongjiabao and asked Zhang Zhun to dismount.

There were many young and strong people standing outside the chamber of Dongjiabao, with at least one hundred people. They were all dressed in white clothes and white pants, and they thought they should be Dong Sanhuai's personal disciples. Each of them held a red tassel gun, standing solemnly on both sides of the door of the chamber like a javelin, obviously trying to give Zhang Zhun a warning. Unfortunately, such a warning was really a pediatrician to Zhang Zhun. He turned a blind eye to this and entered the chamber without hesitation.

Entering the conference hall, both parties sit down separately.

A pretty maid came up and served Zhang Zhun with tea. Zhang Zhun vaguely felt that the maid was a little kind-faced, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it. She looked at Dong Sanhuai with some confusion, but found that there was a majestic look in Dong Sanhuai's eyes, as if she was blaming the maid. He turned around in confusion, but found that the pretty maid had disappeared. Looking back, Dong Sanhuai's eyes had returned to normal.

As if he was hiding something, Dong Sanhuai coughed twice and said with a smile: "The place is simple, negligent, negligent. I wonder if the governor came from afar, what advice would he have?"

Zhang Zhun said straight to the point: "The Tartars are about to knock south, and Zhang Zhun comes to visit, so there is something to ask for."

Dong Sanhuai's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light and said disapprovingly: "The Tartars just invaded last year and are here again this year? Is the Governor exaggerating? "

Zhang Zhun smiled calmly, stood up, and said casually: "Since that's the case, just pretend I haven't come. Say goodbye."

Dong Sanhuai hurriedly stood up and tried to stay and said, "Governor Zhang, please stay."

Zhang Zhun said lightly: "Sorry, I have no other interest except talking about Tartars."

Dong Sanhuai's eyes flashed constantly, and he said slowly: "Governor, Sanhuai is rude. Please sit down and explain in detail. My old Dong's two younger brothers are both dead in Liaodong. Please also trust the old Dong's sincerity. Dongjiabao is obliged to fight against the Tartars. As long as the Tartars really kowtowed south."

Zhang Zhun said thoughtfully: "I wonder where the two brothers of the Third Master were killed?"

Dong Sanhuai said with a sigh: "In the first year of Tianqi, my second son died in Liaoyang. In the fifth year of Tianqi, my third son died in Guangningwei."

Zhang Zhun said lightly: "It makes Mr. Dong sad."

Dong Sanhuai made a gesture to ask Zhang Zhun to sit down and said slowly: "I wonder what does the governor's arrival in Dongjiabao have to do with the Tatar Nankou?"

Zhang Zhun said bluntly: "I want to borrow Guibao as a battlefield."

Dong Sanhuai was slightly stunned, as if he didn't understand what Zhang Zhun meant. It took him a while before he slowly reminisced and said slowly: "What is the Governor's meaning? Is he going to fight against the Tartars in Dongjiabao?"

Zhang Zhun nodded and said without any concealment: "Yes, I want to lead the Tartars here."

Dong Sanhuai hesitated for a moment and said hesitantly: "Why didn't the Governor block the Tartars on the edge of the Yellow River?"

Zhang Zhun said without any concealment: "Because I don't have enough troops."

Dong Sanhuai asked deeply: "Since the Governor can block the Tartars' advance westward in Huangxian, he must have a deep understanding of the Tartars' combat effectiveness. However, the terrain of Northern Zhili and Shandong is completely different. It is an indisputable fact that a flat horse is conducive to the rampant Taurus cavalry of the North Zhili. The area around Hejian Prefecture is also flat, and there is no danger to defend. If your army cannot stop it and is completely destroyed by the Tartars, what will happen?"

Zhang Zhun said disapprovingly: "That can only be blamed for our unluckyness."

Dong Sanhuai frowned, and was a little confused and doubtful about Zhang Zhun's words. He had no problem fighting the Tartars. The problem is that fighting the Tartars in Dongjiabao is very risky. Who is Zhang Zhun? He is a person who killed thousands of Tartars! If the Tartars knew that Zhang Zhun was in Dongjiabao, they would definitely swarm in like a dung beetle smelling the smell of shit. In case of an accident, not only Zhang Zhun and his Tiger Army were going to be done, but Dongjiabao was going to be done too.

Seeing that his father was not speaking, Dong Huaxia took the opportunity to interject and said, "The Governor is just afraid that fighting the Tartars is fake, but trying to gain a foothold in Northern Zhili is true?"

Dong Daowu turned his head and looked at his younger brother, feeling a little blamed.

Zhang Zhun said lightly: "If the Tartars hadn't gone south, I wouldn't have been lazy to come to Zhili in North! What's yours in North Zhili? What's yours in Dongjiabao?"

Dong Huaxia suddenly said stutteringly.

Yes, what is in Northern Zhili?

Apart from being a little closer to the capital, what is in Northern Zhili?

As for Dongjiabao... to be honest, it really doesn't have a place that Zhang Zhun likes. Others control Laizhou Prefecture and Dengzhou Prefecture, and Dongjiang Town. On the ground in Shandong, they can stomp their feet to cause three shocks on the ground. Even if Zhang Zhun wants to march into Northern Zhili, he will not choose Dongjiabao as a bridgehead. With the ability of the Tiger Army, it is OK to directly capture Tianjin Wei.

Dong Daowu hurriedly said, "My younger brother is young and ignorant, so don't blame the governor. It's just that there are rumors outside that the governor and the court are quite dirty. There are many rumors, and I don't know whether it is true or false. So we have some random thoughts. Please forgive me."

Zhang Zhun smiled disapprovingly and said without any concealment: "The rumors outside are not fake. I, Zhang Zhun, have always been incompatible with the imperial court, and everyone knows that I came to Dongjiabao because of this reason. The people in Northern Zhili were about to be poisoned by the Tartars, but the government army was unable to protect them. I, Zhang Zhun, were not talented, but I also tried my best to let the people in Northern Zhili escape the Tartars' vicious hands."

Dong Huaxia frowned and said, "The government army is incompetent, and everyone knows that it is true that we cannot count on it. However, with the power of the Hu Ben Army, it is unlikely that we want to rescue the people of Northern Zhili, right? Are you only a few people who can stop all the Tartars?"

Zhang Zhun said in a deep voice: "As long as I can drag the Tartars to Northern Zhili and let the people of Northern Zhili escape into the ground in Shandong, I can always protect some people. Of course, if I am reluctant to leave Northern Zhili, it is another matter."

Dong Daowu said thoughtfully: "So that's it... If the Hu Ben Army could hold the Tartars in Cangzhou, they would indeed not be able to attack Shandong."

Zhang Zhun nodded and said sternly: "All the heroes of Cangzhou are all heroes, and they must have no hesitation to fight against the Tartars. However, I am indeed a little disappointed now..."

Dong Sanhuai did not answer, but heard someone outside the door say, "That's right! We are indeed not afraid of the Tartars! But we will not provoke the Tartars on their own initiative! Because we know very well that we are not opponents of the Tartars! We have too few people!"

Before he finished speaking, a strong man came in from the door, about the same size as Dong Sanhuai, with many scars on his body, and six bright incense scars on his forehead. I don’t know if he really became a monk or made him pretend to be cool. He bowed to Zhang Zhun casually, clasped his fists and said, “Governor General is here, Cao Siming, Cao Jiabao, is polite.”

It turned out that this person was Cao Siming, the lord of the nearby Caojiabao. Dongjiabao is good at shooting skills, and Caojiabao is good at shooting skills. Like the red tassel spear, the Daguan sword is also a weapon on the battlefield. The legendary Daguan sword is a Modao inherited from the Tang Dynasty. It was a killing weapon that was cut down with one knife and Tian Mo Zongheng. People with great arm strength can even split people and horses directly into two halves. The Tang army was famous back then, and Modao made an indelible contribution.

Behind Cao Siming, there were two people, who were both burly and bright in their eyes. After entering the conference hall, they all bowed to Zhang Zhun with fists and said loudly: "The Governor is here, and it is a mistake to welcome you. Liu Zongshao and Liu Zongli are polite."

It turned out that these two people were Liu Zongshao, the owner of the nearby Liujiabao. Liu Zongli brothers. Liujiabao was good at Tai Chi. Tai Chi was quite prosperous in the Ming Dynasty. There were many people practicing boxing in Cangzhou area, and Tai Chi was one of them. Of course, the Tai Chi they practiced was completely different from the "Tai Chi Cheat" used in the performance. When Tai Chi was killed, it was also very straightforward. Real Tai Chi can kill people.

Zhang Zhun didn't find it strange at all when he saw the three people suddenly arrive. Dongjiabao, Caojiabao, and Liujiabao were just in the shape of a font, and there was a close connection between the three. There were many dangers, and one fort could not be taken over, and the three forts were united together, which was quite powerful. Many intermarriages were made between the three forts, and the four forts were also relatives, so the relationship was naturally close.

Zhang Zhun stood up and said with a smile: "The three castle lords are here just in time. Zhang Zhun is polite here."

Cao Si was obviously a more anxious person. Before he sat down, he asked directly: "Listen to the Governor, are you going to have a big fight with the Tartars here?"

Zhang Zhun nodded and said, "That's right."

Liu Zongli said with a bright look: "I wonder how confident is the Governor?"

Zhang Zhun said in a deep voice: "50%.

The four castle lords pondered without saying a word.

50%?

Only 50% sure?
