Shi Jin's army withdrew from Yunzhou in embarrassment under the surveillance of Zhang Mai's army.
Seeing the Modao battle ax formation under Zhang Mai's banner, neither Shi Chonggui nor Fu Yanqing had any intention of fighting in the field with Tiance's Tang army. If they hold Yunzhou, they may still have the courage to defend the city and fight. Since Yunzhou cannot be taken, they will not dare to stay in a small town like Huairen County.
After Shi Chonggui withdrew to the south that day, he did not even go in with Huairen and withdrew directly to Yingzhou. Fu Yanqing did not dare to stay and walked eastward to Youzhou.
Zhang Mai waited until all Shi Jin's troops and horses had withdrawn from the battlefield, and then he led his troops closer. A group of elders came out of Yunzhou City, shouting and begging Zhang Mai to enter the city. Several elders knelt on the ground, weeping and crying: "Marshal! , Marshal! Don¡¯t hand over Yunzhou to Shi Jingtang again. That Sha Tuozi won¡¯t care about our life or death at all!¡±
The Throne of Sweat and Blood came forward, Zhang Mai helped the saddle and dismounted, helped the elders, and said: "Don't worry, everyone, I used to hold the idea of ????watching brothers against the wall and resisting their insults. I hope that Shi Jingtang can put down his prejudices and speak to the outside world unanimously. , but he really disappoints me! From now on, I will no longer have any delusions about him! The land of China, which Shi Jingtang abandoned like worn-out shoes, I, Zhang Mai, will try to take back! The people of China, he Shi Jingtang treats it like nothing, and I, Zhang Mai, will protect it! I promise that from today on, no more barbarians will step into Yunzhou, let alone let it fall into the hands of the unscrupulous!"
With that said, he supported the oldest man and stepped into the city. The whole city suddenly burst into cheers from the people.
Cao Yuanzhong stepped forward to plead guilty and said: "Marshal, Yuanzhong is incompetent! We cannot keep Youzhou and let hundreds of thousands of people in the Yan area be kidnapped by the Khitan. And I don't know how many people died under the Khitan butcher's knife. Yuanzhong is guilty of death!"
Zhang Mai snorted and said: "This is not your fault! If Shi Jingtang and his generals had even half a conscience, this matter would not have happened! Zhe De Ke!"
"Here you are!" Zhe Deku responded as he came out of the queue.
Zhang Mai said: "I will give you three thousand soldiers and horses, and ask Bai Chengfu to provide your backup. You will go south immediately and capture all the prefectures and cities north of Yanmen Pass! After that, you will return to Yunzhou to obey your orders."
Zhao Pu was a little surprised. Although his status was not high, he still said: "Marshal, Shi Chonggui has tens of thousands of troops. With only three thousand troops and horses plus the Tuyuhun tribe, the strength may be insufficient."
Zhang Mai smiled softly and did not answer. Zhao Pu did not dare to say anything anymore, Zhe Dehu had already left as ordered.
Zhang Mai said again: "Black Tiger!"
Liu Heihu should come out clearly.
Zhang Mai said: "Immediately lead the Mo Dao Battle Ax Formation, and use the rebels from all walks of life in northern Shanxi as your guide to recover the entire territory of Daidi to the east!"
Liu Heihu had nothing to say. Take the order and leave.
Zhang Mai then said to Cao Yuanzhong: "The people of Yunzhou have been frightened for a long time. Yuanzhong, you will come out to calm the people and tell the people in the city that starting from today, everyone can live a good life."
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
Everything that happened in Yunzhou City. Everything fell into Gao Huaide's eyes.
When Shi Jin's army was approaching the city from two directions, Gao Huaide was among the Jin army. He saw with his own eyes that Shi Chonggui was safe and that aid from the east had arrived, but he didn't even have the courage to fight Zhang Mai. I was extremely disappointed. I felt even more disappointed when I saw the Jin army entering the city but being ostracized and scorned by the people of Yunzhou.
Jin army. It is so unpopular!
At that moment, there was a faint expectation in Gao Huaide's heart, and Zhang Mai's army came to cover him up. The young general even knew that if that moment really came, he would not panic or be afraid, but would feel happy!
However, Zhang Mai did not take action and just kept monitoring coldly.
Shortly after Shi Chonggui and Fu Yanqing retreated, Zhang Mai sent troops to chase them. Shi Chonggui said to An Chongrong, "Zhang Mai really has a trick!" Not only did he not dare to stay in the small Huairen County, he even did not dare to defend Ying and Huan. The Shuo and Shuo prefectures retreated directly into Yanmen Pass. Therefore, Zhe Deku and Bai Chengfu effortlessly took all the land in the four prefectures of Yunying Huanshuo and reached Yanmen Pass.
Over there, Liu Heihu was approaching the east, but Fu Yanqing did not dare to resist the enemy. He retreated eastward for fear of being unhappy, and even lost a lot of baggage. He drove Fu Yanqing out of northern Shanxi, arranged various rebel armies to guard the counties, and then led his troops back Yunzhou.
In this incident, the Jin army not only lost face, but also lost morale! On the way Shi Chonggui retreated southward, soldiers kept escaping. When he fled back to Yanmen Pass, he counted his troops and found that only 70% of them were left! None of the soldiers who were originally from Yunshuo Huanying Prefectures escaped!
Even Gao Huaide is missing!
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
After Shi Chonggui's troops passed Yingzhou, Gao Huaide left the camp among a group of deserters.
At this time, the Jin soldiers were depressed, their morale was low, and their military appearance was in disarray.It didn't attract many people's attention. The group of deserters he followed were from Yingzhou. After escaping from the army, they dispersed and went back to their hometowns. Gao Huaide was nibbling dry food and collecting fodder to feed the Tougu dragon on the road. He touched the place where it lost weight, and his eyes kept crying. Diluo said to Tou Gu Long: "Long'er, Long'er, they all have homes and places to go. What should I do?"
He also has his hometown, which is in Changshan, not far from here. But later he moved to Luoyang because of his father's relationship. At home in Luoyang, there is still a mother, a grandmother, and a younger brother, but now he does not dare to go back. In the past year, there have been quite a few generals in the Guanzhong area who defected to Tiance. Shi Jingtang had already taken precautions against this. The Gao family had been under surveillance in Luoyang for a long time. If Gao Huaide went back, he would have thrown himself into a trap. Now Gao Xingzhou was defeated and trapped. , who knows what Shi Jingtang will do with the Gao family! It was also because of this that before setting off, Mrs. Gao and Mrs. Gao seemed to have had a premonition, so they told Gao Huaide to "escape for your life if things go wrong."
Now, it seems that it¡¯s time for me to escape into the wilderness, but my father is trapped and his life or death is uncertain. Can I really be cruel enough to leave them alone?
Gao Huaide and the yellow gelding were relatively lonely, wandering all the way, and unknowingly headed north. Encountered several groups of rangers along the way. It turned out that the Tang army from Tiance was coming in an aggressive and aggressive manner. Only anti-theft troops were left in the states and counties, and no large army was stationed. All the elites were in Yunzhou, and only eighteen lines of cavalry were sent to roam the states. In each county, the Eighteenth Route Army was composed of fifty people into one group. A small team of ten people traveled around the county and patrolled the mountains. They hunt down thieves when they encounter them, kill thieves when they encounter them, and advise people who are fleeing to go home. At this time, the Hu people did not dare to act rashly, and the Jin troops on the southeast and southeast sides had no time to protect themselves. Not to mention daring to peek to the west, the bandits in the territory were eliminated, and northern Shanxi quickly settled down.
Seeing Gao Huaide and his horse, the Yihuo Rangers thought he was just a deserter. He advised him to go home.
"Home? I don't have a home." He spoke with a Changshan accent, which strengthened the Ranger's idea.
"Go back if you don't have a home! Even if your home is ruined, go back to your hometown. Now that the marshal has arrived in Yunzhou, Yunzhou will be iron-clad from now on and will not be invaded again. The marshal has just issued a benevolent policy. In three years, Jinbei Prefecture County The field tax is comprehensive. The field tax will be halved within five years. Don¡¯t you still have a horse? Sell the horse and renovate the barren acres after returning home. As long as you survive this year, there will be good seeds in Qinxi next year If you bring it here, there will be farmers with superb agricultural skills who will teach you how to farm and raise livestock. It depends on your young age and your ability. As long as you are willing to work hard and take advantage of the tax exemption in the past few years, you can make it in three to five years. Earn the wealth and then find a wife, won't the family be rebuilt? Then the ancestors will be smiling under the Nine Springs."
Gao Huaide was dumbfounded. duty free? Tax cuts? Will seeds come again next year? Are there any farmers teaching Tian Mu? Although it was just a few words, Gao Huaide saw another world.
Grandmother, mother and father. They once asked him to "escape to the barren mountains and remain anonymous" - this was the escape route they could think of to let Gao Huaide survive, but it seemed that it was no longer needed now. Zhang Longxiang actually gave such a policy. As long as according to the Rangers, he could find a Once you settle down somewhere, you can really build a new home in three to five years.
"Is this a benevolent king? Is this a benevolent government?"
"The so-called benevolent king and benevolent government, Gao Huaide often heard from the gentleman his father invited to teach him how to study, but he had never seen it before. He asked his father and grandfather, but they had never seen it before. I don't want to now, it seems that I have encountered it.
He woke up and continued on his way. After the soldiers and horses retreated and the thieves were eliminated, northern Shanxi quickly restored stability.
Cao Yuanzhong has been in Yunzhou for a long time, and he has made all kinds of preparations. In the front, the army captured the city, and in the back, he appointed more than twenty civil servants to go to various places to handle state and county affairs. So when Gao Huaide entered a county town again, the order here was already roughly in order. Seeing the market gradually returning to life, Gao Huaide felt that the Rangers' persuasion to him was not a lie!
"Is this benevolent government? Is this benevolent government?"
He suddenly felt a little angry. He didn't know why his family wanted to stay under the banner of a person like Du Chongwei, and he didn't know why his family had to work hard for Shi Jingtang.
"does it worth!"
As if he had gained strength, Gao Huaide stayed overnight in a newly opened inn in the city, got on his horse the next day, and headed towards Yunzhou.
Since the city gate of Yunzhou came from Zhangmai, it has not been closed during the day! Not only the prefectures and counties in northern Shanxi, but also business travelers came from the direction of Chilechuan.
However, the war has not yet ended, and Yunzhou City has weapons control. Gao Huaide had to register his name at the city gate before entering the city. He received a bamboo raft and handed over his weapon. The gatekeeper told him that the weapon would be returned to him when he left. .
The soldiers under Zhang Mai are paid, although two-thirds of the soldiers are paid.They are required to stay in the military camp, but one-third of the soldiers who have their turn to rest can go to and from the market. Just the visit of these people is enough to revitalize the market in Yunzhou City. When Gao Huaide arrived, although the market in Yunzhou was not yet prosperous, it was already quite lively.
Gao Huaide asked for directions and found Cao Yuanzhong's temporary residence in Yunzhou, and asked to see Cao Yangong. Unexpectedly, Cao Yangong was not there. The family tradition of the Cao family was not very good, and the disciples were quite snobbish. Seeing that Gao Huaide was covered in dust and looked like a deserter, his eyes and words were rude. Somewhat rude.
Gao Huaide was a wealthy young man from Luoyang, with a strong sense of self-esteem. When he saw that look, he was unwilling to give in. He thought to himself, "If I, Gao Huaide, want to remain anonymous, then I can stay anonymous. If I really want to be visible, I may not have to rely on your Cao family!"
After leaving Cao Mansion and returning to the market, suddenly the heads in front of me started to move. After asking, I found out that Zhang Mai was out on patrol.
It turns out that Zhang Mai was patrolling the market in disguise - he often did this in Shule, Liangzhou and Qinxi. The people there didn't think much of it after getting used to it, but the people here in Yunzhou had never experienced this kind of thing. As for things, not to mention the emperor, even those high officials and generals usually live deep in their mansions and offices. Who would go to the market to have zero contact with the people? So when Zhang Mai was recognized, he immediately caused a sensation.
Gao Huaide was also curious. So I squeezed past, listening to people¡¯s comments while squeezing:
"Is he really the marshal?"
"It's true. It's true. The Tiance soldiers who were buying things in the market recognized it."
"But why did Marshal Zhang come to Xishi? He is the emperor!"
"I don't know, but I heard that he often came out when he was in the west. Sometimes he would go to the fields to help people farm, or even go up the mountain to help people chop firewood."
"This emperor is truly unique throughout the ages."
As more and more people gathered, Gao Huaide held the horse and couldn't squeeze through, so he simply let the horse go - the relationship between Pengulong and him was like a psychic. Don't be afraid of losing. After squeezing through like this, I saw a man in his thirties standing in the middle of a large group of people from a distance. The people who were closer knelt down, and the people who were farther away also seemed to kneel down. There was someone beside Gao Huaide. The rescuer pointed at the man and said, "That's Marshal Zhang! That's Marshal Zhang!"
Gao Huaide thought: "It turns out he is Zhang Longxiang!"
But I saw a rude man saying to Zhang Mai: "Marshal, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't know it would be like this!"
It turned out that this man was a soldier on rotation. He recognized Zhang Mai in the market and shouted out, accidentally causing this chaos.
Zhang Mai said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. I originally wanted to come out to see if everyone's life was going smoothly, but now that the commotion has happened, it has hindered everyone's livelihood. Go back, go back!" With that, he walked towards the temporary commander's mansion. . When the people saw it, they all gave way.
Suddenly, a person rushed out from the crowd, with a cold light shining in his hand!
How many people in the market shouted at the same time: "Marshal, be careful!"
Among the people shouting was Gao Huaide. After he shouted, he couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't understand why he was nervous for Zhang Mai!
At the same time, a dozen people flew out from everywhere and stood in front of Zhang Mai - among the dozen people. A small half of them were Zhang Mai's bodyguards who were in uniform, but the other half were soldiers who took turns in the market.
Zhang Mai¡¯s appearance in the market this time was by chance. Therefore, this assassination was also a spur-of-the-moment idea by Xi Zuo who was hiding in Yunzhou City. Unexpectedly, the dagger was broken when he moved it, and the assassin quickly ran away.
A general in the crowd jumped to a high place and shouted: "All good people lie down, anyone who dares to act rashly is an assassin!"
The people fell down one after another, but there were still more than a dozen people standing, and five or six more people were panicking and running away from all directions - but it was Xiao Zu who had been frightened.
The dozen or so people standing in the crowd were all soldiers on rotation. As soon as they saw it, they rushed over to seize it carefully.
The resting general standing at a high place shouted: "The soldiers are catching spies, please don't act rashly!"
Ma Xiaochun next to Zhang Mai shouted: "It turns out there are so many spies in Yunzhou City!"
Zhang Mai smiled and said: "A city this big and important should have more than this."
Seeing that Zhang Mai was still chatting and laughing in such a situation, Gao Huaide thought to himself: "He is really calm!"
Suddenly, two soldiers in civilian clothes came towards Gao Huaide and shouted: "Boy, we will capture you without any effort!"
Gao Huaide was stunned, then he remembered that he was standing there blankly, and he laughed and said, "I'm not a spy."
The two soldiers were not afraid of the situation. They were obviously not ordinary people. They shouted: "Whether it is yes or no, come back with us!"
Gao Huaide said: "If I want to assassinate you, you can't stop me!"
The two soldiers have already gone to?Bring it in, Gao Huaide, a young man with good temperament, grabbed a bamboo pole and used it as a spear. He knocked down the two soldiers with two moves. He followed the bamboo pole and circled his back, took advantage of the situation to pop out, and shot towards Zhang Mai. , these few times the rabbit rose and the falcon fell, so fast that it was dizzying. The guards had no time to react. Several soldiers instinctively sacrificed their lives to block Zhang Mai, but when they heard a pop, the bamboo pole had been nailed into a plaque on Zhang Mai's head. superior! Five inches into the wood!
The scene was chaotic again, and several soldiers in civilian clothes rushed toward him. Gao Huaide put his hands behind his back and said, "I said, if I am an assassin, you can't stop me!"
Zhang Mai shouted: "Don't be rude. It seems that he has no ill intentions." Although he was close to the people, he was not reckless. He did not want to stay in the market when changes occurred one after another. He said: "I will go back to the commander's house first. You take this little boy with you My brother will follow later." He turned around and left.
Several guards came forward and took Gao Huaide to the commander's mansion. This was the general's mansion where troops were originally stationed in Xiaoxiali. Zhang Mai lived here after entering Yunzhou without even changing the plaque.
Just after entering the commander's residence, Cao Yuanzhong had already heard the news and rushed over, shouting: "I will raid the whole city right now!"
Zhang Mai said: "No need. Since business travel is not allowed in Yunzhou, it is strange that there are no spies! This time it was an accident. There is no need to start a big fight." He turned back and stared at Gao Huaide and said: "I think I have seen you before."
Gao Huaide raised his head and said: "We just met on the battlefield outside the Great Wall not long ago, your men. None of them are my generals!"
As soon as he said these words, several warriors behind Zhang Mai glared at him at the same time! Cao Yuanzhong was even more surprised when he looked at this half-grown boy who was obviously not yet an adult from a close look.
Zhang Mai screamed and shouted: "It's you! That young general from the White Horse Silver Spear Regiment!"
"That's right!" Gao Huaide said, "My name is Gao Huaide! Gao Xingzhou, the man with the white horse and silver spear, is my father!"
Zhang Mai chuckled, not asking about his past or his purpose, but said: "You are so loud! Why don't I have a general like you among my men! Yang Yi, Xue Fu, Guo Wei, they are all handsome men. I won¡¯t compare it with you. Xi Sheng has passed away, and he is just Liu Heihu. If you dared to get within ten steps of him at that time, his Mo Dao could chop you into pieces!"
Gao Huaide said: "Liu Heihu? General Mo Dao? Humph, Mo Dao's battle ax formation is not used for duel. If you really want to play it right, it would be unfair to me not to be allowed to fight. If I am allowed to fight, he will only I¡¯m exhausted.¡±
Zhang Mai smiled again and said: "Okay, if you want to talk about cavalry and generals, there are many of them in our army! Have you ever heard of the reputations of Gun King Yang Xin and Arrow King Zhe Congyuan?"
Gao Huaide said: "I've heard of it. The King of Arrows is just that. The Cavalry Archer is our nemesis. If we can't hide from them, everything will be lost. If we hide and bully him, everything will be lost! As for the King of Spears, that's He didn¡¯t meet me!¡±
These words are extremely arrogant. Zhang Mai just laughed and said, "Okay! I'll bring them in later. Then we'll see if the seal under your hand is as powerful as your tongue."
After hearing this, Gao Huaide was stunned and said, "Aren't you not going to kill me?"
Zhang Mai smiled and asked, "Aren't you going to follow me?"
The confidence in his smile made Gao Huaide's blood surge inexplicably. He knelt down on one knee and said, "Marshal! I'm willing to kill the enemy with you - if you haven't killed my father yet!"
Zhang Mai said: "What if I kill him?"
Gao Huaide's eyes turned red and he said: "You are a good emperor, but if my father is dead, then I can't serve you. You should kill me too!"
Zhang Mai said: "What a violent young man! I tell you the truth, the order I gave Yang Guangyuan was to surround Gao Xingzhou. But after many days, I don't know what the situation is in Jinhe Mountain now. Are you willing to go into the valley and persuade your father to abandon the dark side and join the bright side?"
Without even thinking about it, Gao Huaide blurted out: "Yes!"
Zhang Mai said again: "If your father doesn't want to, what should you do?"
Gao Huaide said: "If my father persists, I will knock him down and lead the White Horse and Silver Spear Regiment back. I just hope that the marshal will save my father's life when the time comes!"
Zhang Mai was surprised and said: "I thought you were a filial son."
Gao Huaide said: "My father's life is as important to me as Mount Tai, but the lives of the two thousand brothers in the White Horse and Silver Spear Regiment are ten times more important than my father's life. Shi Jingtang is not worth our lives for him! This principle, It took me two days to figure it out.¡±
Zhang Mai was overjoyed when he heard this. He helped Gao Huaide up and said, "If you can understand this truth, comparable battlefield martial arts are even more rare. Go, go to Jinhe Mountain and tell your father to stop resisting. If he is willing to join me, I will There is still a place for him to make achievements under the red satin blood spear! If he has the concept of loyalty to the emperor and is unwilling to serve the two masters, I will allow him to disarm his entire army and return to the field.The world is at peace. Go for it! I'm here waiting for your good news! "
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
Gao Huaide was overjoyed and anxious to receive such a tolerant promise from Zhang Mai, fearing that he would not be able to save his father if it was too late. He took Zhang Mai's warrant and the order to Yang Guangyuan, changed horses along the way, and arrived outside Jinhe Mountain in one day and one night. , when he found out that Gao Xingzhou was still trapped, he felt happy again. Yang Guangyuan had known that Zhang Mai had the intention to conquer the White Horse Silver Spear Regiment, checked Zhang Mai's warrant, read the order, and immediately let him go.
When Gao Huaide entered the valley, a soldier guarding the valley entrance gave him a dull look, and then shouted ecstatically: "The young master is back! The young master is back!"
A sergeant led Gao Huaide to meet Gao Xingzhou. Along the way, Gao Huaide saw a lifeless atmosphere in the valley, and he also saw many horse bones along the way. He knew that the White Horse Silver Spear Regiment, which cherished horses as much as their lives, had begun to kill horses to satisfy their hunger, and felt sad. : "If we remain trapped for a while longer, we will collapse if we don't fight."
In a cave, he met his father with sunken eyes. When Gao Xing met him on Monday, he held his arm and said, "Son, are you back? Are reinforcements here?"
Gao Huaide shook his head, and Gao Xingzhou said: "Then how could you" He suddenly shouted loudly: "You surrendered to the Tang Dynasty!"
Gao Huaide lowered his head, then raised his head and said, "Dad, listen to what I saw after I went out!" Then he told what he saw after breaking out of the encirclement.
Gao Xingzhou and the other generals were indignant when they heard that Shi Chonggui refused to save him. Then they heard that the Jin army was still heading to Yunzhou, and they couldn't help but sneer. They felt that Shi Chonggui was going north to die when Zhang Mai was around. But what happened in Yunzhou was far beyond their expectations. When they heard that the people tried to retain Cao Yuanzhong, heard that the people rejected Shi Chonggui, and heard that the people drove away the Jin army, everyone's psychology was aroused. Subtle changes.
In fact, the good reputation of the Tang Army has spread throughout the Central Plains, and the soldiers of the White Horse and Silver Spear Regiment are not unaware of it, but hearsay is not as moving as a close friend like Gao Huaide recounting his personal experiences.
By the time Gao Huaide said that Zhang Mai had not pursued him, Gao Xingzhou had already put aside his suspicion of his son and sighed: "Zhang Longxiang is so ambitious, no wonder he can sweep thousands of miles and look at the Central Plains!"
Hearing again that Shi Chonggui fled all the way south, and that Tiance's Tang army had conquered all of northern Shanxi without any effort, Gao Xingzhou couldn't help but said: "God's will, God's will! Is this the destiny of heaven?"
Afterwards, Gao Huaide recounted other things he saw during his trip, such as the relocation of Youzhou, the hunting down of bandits by cavalry, and the benevolent government in northern Shanxi. All the generals in the cave were dejected. Finally, Gao Huaide told the whole story of his meeting with Zhang Mai. Come, when he heard the tolerant conditions given by Zhang Mai, Lieutenant General An Zhihu couldn't help shouting: "General! Such a wise master, how can he not return! Shi Jingtang is not worth our lives!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, other generals immediately responded!
During the Five Dynasties period, there was no concept of loyalty to the emperor, and Gao Xingzhou didn't actually have deep feelings for Shi Jingtang. When he saw the looks on his generals' faces, he knew that they were all moved. Even if he still refused to surrender at this moment, he just wanted to I'm afraid An Zhihu and others will force him to surrender!
Gao Xingzhou lowered his head and thought for a while, then said to An Zhihu: "Huaide is right, we cannot use my father and son to pay for the lives of thousands of brothers."
Gao Huaide said happily: "Dad, did you agree?"
Gao Xingzhou suddenly drew his sword and said: "Zhihu, take my head, lead the army out of the valley and surrender." As he said this, he suddenly drew his sword and was about to kill himself!
Gao Huaide was so frightened that he and An Zhihu rushed forward and held down Gao Xingzhou. One called him daddy and the other called him the general. Gao Huaide shouted: "Dad, what are you doing!"
Gao Xingzhou cried and said: "My child, don't forget that your grandmother, mother and younger brother are all in Luoyang! Once the white horse falls, they will die! Only if I die can I buy them a glimmer of life! Zhihu, I'll leave the White Horse and Silver Spear regiment to you. Huaide, after White Horse surrenders, you can't come forward. You have to wait until the family is out of trouble, oror Shi Jingtang is crazy and really kills my whole family. There is no hope. Then When the time comes, go and serve Marshal Zhang again!"
