"So you are the Sanlang of the Zhang family who is about to marry the Lu family?" Wu Fen said.

"That's right," Zhang Bai replied respectfully.

"Not bad, not bad!" Wu Fen looked up and down and was full of praise.

Then he asked: "Then how did you expect that the Shanyue people would attack the city? How did you bring your servants with you?"

"This junior did not expect the Shanyue attack. I just had no sleep tonight and just passed by by chance while admiring the rainy night. As for those servants, they are my guards who have been secretly protecting me since I was a child. They are very skilled in martial arts. This is not the first time they have defeated the Shanyue people. ."

Then, Zhang Bai told the story of his danger on the south bank of Taihu Lake in an exaggerated way.

Wu Fen was even more happy when he heard the whole story.With only the accompanying servants to protect him, more than a dozen people could defeat Shan Yue. The Zhang family was indeed a big family with deep accumulation.With the help of Zhang Jiazi, there is no need to ask for help from the capital.

"Nephew Enpei, are you willing to join the city defense and serve the country? If you help me defeat these Shanyue people and make a contribution, I will definitely write to the Lord and recommend you." Wu Fen invited.

This matter suited Zhang Bai's heart. He originally thought that it would take more trouble to join the army, but he didn't want to do it in one go.

As long as the Shanyue people outside are defeated, they can further request to take the initiative to attack Shanyue's hinterland in Taihu Lake.At that time, you can naturally delay your marriage.

As long as it is delayed until September, according to records, the sex scandal will break out. Even if I go to the Lu family at that time, the Lu family will not be willing to marry me!

So he immediately bowed and thanked him: "My nephew also hates the chaos in Shanyue. If the governor does not give up, I am willing to help him."

Wu Fen was overjoyed and immediately brought Zhang Bai into the governor's mansion. The two talked all night about how to destroy Shanyue.

The next day, Wu Fenxiu sent a letter to Zhang's house, but Zhang Zhi was shocked.

Overnight, Zhang Bai actually became the commander-in-chief of Wu County stationed in the county town.

Zhang Zhi blinked and looked at the military academy who came with the letter, confused.

"What happened last night?"

The military academy told the story exactly as it was, how the Shanyue people stole the city at night, almost missed the city gate, met Zhang Bai by chance, and repelled the thieves.

Zhang Zhi's mouth twitched, thinking that this third brother was really capable of causing trouble.He worked in Shu for a while, and for Soochow for a while, working on two boats.After one night, he unexpectedly got a military position and got acquainted with the governor Wu Fen.

"This little monkey!" Zhang Zhi couldn't help blurting out.

The military academy on the side was stunned. What happened?Is this thing related to monkeys?

Zhang Zhi realized that he had lost his composure, coughed twice, and asked, "Then where is my Sanlang now?"

"Early this morning, together with the Governor, I led the troops to pursue the remaining bandits."

"what?"

Zhang Zhi stood up from the futon in shock.

Why did he go off to war so quietly and suddenly?If the third brother has a problem, how will he explain it to his eldest brother, how will he explain it to his dead parents, and how will he explain it to the Lu family who are engaged?

And Wu Fen, an old man, was so driven by his desire for military success that he actually took Saburo to take a strange risk.

"Hurry up and chase him back!" Zhang Zhi shouted, his voice trembling.Then his legs went weak and he fell back on the futon, making the maid and servant beside him scream in fright.

The east coast of Taihu Lake,

There are more than a dozen small boats parked scatteredly by the lake.

Veteran general Wu Fen led hundreds of soldiers to defeat the remaining Shanyue people and pursued them all the way to the lake.

The leader of Shanyue was indeed extremely ferocious. One man wielded a weapon and tried his best to break off the back, allowing the remaining Shanyue to save his life.

Until they retreated to the Taihu Lake, the remaining mountains grabbed a few boats and quickly retreated into the water.Because there were far fewer people, there were still many boats left on the shore.

Zhang Bai volunteered and was willing to lead his troops in pursuit by boat.But Wu Fen hesitated. Seeing that Zhang Bai had few soldiers, he was deeply afraid of being ambushed.

However, Zhang Bai persisted and took care of himself with a dozen so-called "housekeepers", grabbed several sampans, and chased after them as if they were flying with oars.

At this time, Wu Fen was also a little anxious. Although he admired Zhang Bai's bravery, Zhang Bai was the legitimate son of the Zhang family after all. If something happened, he would be in trouble.So he had to jump on a ship himself and waved the soldiers to board the ship to follow.

There were hundreds of soldiers and there were not enough ships.In the end, only 50 people got on the boat and followed.

Zhang Bai, who rushed to the front, left the shaking job to Wang Yanke and kept observing himself.When he saw that his boat was far away from Wu Fen, he grinned, commanded his consciousness, and found the island in the lake with familiarity.

He docked the boat and without hesitation stepped onto land.

On the shore, all the Shanyue people were waiting on the shore. After seeing Zhang Bai, they slowly approached.

Their leader also came over, holding a huge scythe in his hand.

Zhang Bai smiled at him relaxedly and said, "It's time to start."

The leader immediately knelt down on one knee, made a hoarse and shrill voice, and said loudly: "I would like to respect the order of the third master of the Zhang family and surrender to the Emperor of Wu." As he surrendered, the rest of the people knelt down one after another, daring not to resist.

Zhang Bai came over, took the hand of the leader of Shanyue, and said loudly: "Since everyone surrenders sincerely, I will protect your lives and food and clothing."

He helped up the leader of Shanyue, and when no one was paying attention, he whispered softly: "Well done, Earth Flea!"

The leader of Shanyue is Tufiao.

......

Shanyue's surrender had actually been settled long ago.

A few days ago, Zhang Bai used his transparent spiritual consciousness to explore the surrounding areas of Taihu Lake and found traces of Shan Yue.So he and Tu Flea secretly went to the island at night and easily subdued Peng Shi, the leader of Shanyue, without any trouble.

In the meantime, although the Shanyue people discovered Zhang Bai, the two of them, plus the helper of spiritual consciousness, were too high in cultivation.The Shanyue people on the island were no match at all, and their leader was captured, so they did not dare to resist.

Zhang Bai took advantage of the situation to explain to the Shanyue people that he was not here to kill people, and he was not going to turn them into slaves.As long as the Shanyue people are willing to join themselves, they are promised a good life.

These Shanyue people were not born to be thieves. Although they were dubious after hearing Zhang Bai's words, they were slightly shaken in their hearts.

Seeing the opportunity, Zhang Bai suddenly reached into his arms, grabbed a handful of silver coins, threw them into the air, and shouted proudly: "These are silver, you can take whatever you want!"

As soon as the words fell, these poor Shanyue people couldn't bear it any longer. They jumped forward with cheers and shouted: "Money!"

They were all smiling and no longer cared who the leader was.

Zhang Bai smiled, looked at the crowd grabbing money, threw out a handful of silver coins, and shouted again: "This is silver! Let's make everyone rich, haha!"

Then, in a voice that only he could hear, he muttered: "...It always shakes people's hearts."

The cheering crowd finally recognized Zhang Bai as the highest priest and called him the clan leader.He also recognized the soil fleas next to him as the leader, because the soil fleas looked very scary, much like a real bandit leader.

In this way, Tu Xia later pretended to lead troops to defeat the official army, then pretended to attack the city at night and was discovered by Zhang Bai, and then pretended that the battle failed and fled back to the island.

All of this was planned in advance by Zhang Bai.
