Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 28
"Since this is the case, it is difficult for a goose to fly without a head, and it is difficult for a man to form an army without a head. If you are willing to listen to my orders to achieve great things, then we will go to the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva and make an oath to share adversity and prosperity!"

Seeing that everyone was getting emotional, Zhang Zhao took the opportunity to propose to make an oath in front of the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva behind the stone building.

At this time, all people in the Hexi Corridor believed in the Tantric Buddhism of the Han Dynasty. The Guanyin Bodhisattva, known as the 33 Guanyin, was a very respected god and Buddha in Hanmi. It was quite solemn to swear under the statue of Guanyin, and the binding force was not bad.

Of course, Mrs. Cao San would not sit with a group of stinky men eating meat and drinking. This stinky man is not an adjective, but a real stinky man.
Zhang Zhao was forcibly enduring with the intention of recovering these people, and Mrs. Cao San didn't want to recruit anyone for her own use, so there was no need to torture herself.

Under the service of several women from Qixia Huzhai, she set up a table of dishes on the second floor of the stone building by herself, and boiled a pot of rare corn wine, and she was at ease.

But soon!She was attracted by the map that Zhang Zhao brought out, and while everyone was rushing to the Guanyin Bodhisattva Temple, Mrs. Cao San ran down from the second floor in a few moments, not caring about the image of the officials and eunuchs at all.

Because for this era, the map is so important. At this time, the best way to express loyalty is to present the local map, and the mountain and river map is more important than the household registration.

"Yizhou and Beiting are so far apart, and Yanqi is indeed in the southwest of Gaochang, and Balasagon and Talas are even marked!"

The more Mrs. Cao looked at it, the more amazed she became. Although this map only marked the cities and did not mark the mountains and rivers, but judging from the location of the four cities in Guasha and Gansu, it is still very accurate. Then it marked Gaochang, Beiting and Yanqi has credibility.

This era is not like the later generations. To look at the map, open the Gaode map or Baidu map. The maps of this era are highly political and military secrets.

As far as the current yamen of the Guiyi Army Jiedu envoy is concerned, they only have the records of Gua, Sha, Gan, Su, Liang and other eleven continents in their hands. This was obtained when Zhang Yichao returned to Hexi.

Zhongyun, Khotan, and Karahan who went west, that is, the original Protectorate of the Western Regions and the Protectorate of Beiting, they knew little about.

"Cough cough!" Mrs. Cao San coughed lightly, and the good lady who Zhang Zhao thought was bean sprouts actually took out a piece of silk and quickly started to copy it.

Where did Mr. Erlang get the maps of the Protectorate of the Western Regions and the Protectorate of Beiting?The third lady Cao frowned, she raised Zhang Zhao's position in her heart a little bit more, did the emperor in white leave some secret treasury for future generations?
When Erlang-jun was born, the title of Jinshan Kingdom was cancelled. If the emperor in white hadn’t left something secret for him, Erlang-jun, let alone draw a map of the Western Regions, probably wouldn’t even be able to figure out the two prefectures of Guasha.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Cao gave another dry cough, and motioned to the two women beside her to go out with her. She was going to the Guanyin Bodhisattva Temple to have a look and see what kind of tricks this Erlang gentleman could come up with.

In the Guanyin Temple behind the stone building, more than [-] people kneeled inside the temple, and the rest knelt outside the temple.

The part of everyone making oaths had just ended. Zhang Zhao did not expect that a map drawn from memory would make Mrs. Cao guess like this. He was immersed in the excitement of having his own team soon.

"This time going west, everyone followed me to make contributions, so we can no longer treat ourselves as horse thieves, we have to have our own rules!" Zhang Zhao waved his hand

"Bai Congxin!" Zhang Zhao shouted.

"Mr. Erlang!" Bai Congxin rushed out and crossed his hands to Zhang Zhao.

"Someone deliberately divided our brothers into three teams. You lead the 37 people in the headquarters as the first team, and you are the leader of the team. The next team will be divided into three teams. The team deputy and the leader of the team will be nominated by you."

"Here! I would like to die for Mr. Erlang!" Bai Congxin sang "Fat Ye" and was quite satisfied. The first team sounds like the main force.

"Joan Redokin!"

Qiong Re Duojin, who was full of anticipation, also quickly stood up.

"You lead the 29 people in the headquarters as the second team, and the team deputy and three fire chiefs are also nominated by you!"

"Here! I swear to follow Mr. Erlang to the death!"

"Yin kite!"

"Mr. Erlang, Yaozi is here!" Yin Yaozi, who has never talked much, stood up.

"I order you to lead Dunzhu and other 16 people as the third team. Later, a certain person will recruit more than a dozen horse archers from Shazhou. Cousin, you should help me take care of this team first!"

"Here!" Yin Yaozi didn't say much, just nodded calmly, but Zhang Zhao knew that he was trustworthy.

Because Yin Yaozi's grandfather is the uncle of Zhang Zhao's father Zhang Chengfeng, that is to say, Zhang Zhao's grandmother is Yin Yaozi's aunt, which is the biggest reason why Yin Yaozi has been protecting Zhang Zhao with Zhang Zhong.

"Loyal man! A certain now appoints you as a soldier, in charge of our money, food and equipment! Fan Quan and Fan Shun are my personal guards."

The old servant Zhang Zhong has also been appointed, but Zhang Zhao doesn't care to let him take care of other things, who knows if he will make any "big things" again.

But Zhang Zhong is still trustworthy, at least he will not betray Zhang Zhao, and this guy can read a few words, and he can barely calculate addition and subtraction within a hundred with a tree branch, which is considered the culture of Zhang Zhao's small group There are people, and it is just right to manage logistics.

After arranging the positions of all the people, Zhang Zhao began to appoint himself an official.

"Although there are only 87 of us at the moment, when we arrive in the Kingdom of Jin, after receiving the support of the emperor's uncle, we must gather at least one guard from the Zhechong Mansion. From now on, you should call XX as Captain!"

"Here! See the Captain!" Everyone agreed loudly, and the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic. They didn't feel that Zhang Zhao was a bit thick-skinned.

Zhechong Mansion is a military unit of the Tang Dynasty soldiers, divided into upper, middle and lower ranks. The upper mansion has 500 people, the middle mansion has 1000 people, and the lower mansion has 800 people.

There is a regiment under the Zhechong Mansion with a quota of 300 people. Below the regiment is a team with a quota of 50 people. Under the team is Huo with a quota of ten people.

But Zhang Zhao currently has only 87 people including himself. If the two teams are not enough soldiers, he dares to call himself Captain Zhechong. If there are 800 people, he can't call himself General Zhonglang?
When Mrs. Cao San arrived at the Guanyin Temple, Zhang Zhao had already finished pronouncing herself as Captain Guoyi with a stern face.

Mrs. Cao narrowed her eyes and looked at Zhang Zhao. Zhang Zhao didn't feel anything wrong with this move, but Mrs. Cao saw something different.

It seems that Mr. Zhang Erlang didn't regard himself as a member of Cao's Guiyi Army!Of course, he can't become a member of Cao's Guiyi Army now.

"Assembling the people, splitting the left and right, and arranging official positions, less than 100 people are ambitious to make contributions. Is the Zhang family all so bold?" A woman with no expression of joy or anger murmured.
