In the Chicheng Castle Counselor's Office, the officers and generals continued to discuss the various details of raising military resources and staying behind for a while, and then they retreated, waiting to attend Zhang Chenglin'er's full-moon banquet three days later.
But Zhang Cheng left Jin Xinpeng, Yan Qingrong, Wu Zhizhong, and Jin Yong alone. Although they looked at each other, they all guessed in their hearts that Zhang Cheng wanted to order them to stay behind.
He said to Jin Xinpeng straight to the point: "Master Jin, I will hand over the North Road to you. This is the fundamental place where I started. Now, although the fortresses are very stable, there is no guarantee that no young people will take advantage of me."
While he was away, he secretly instigated mischief."
He went on to say: "Every matter in the Wei Department can be decided by Mr. Jin. If there is a military need, Jin Yong is in Chicheng and Sha Zhongwang in Dushikou is very useful. If the situation is urgent, Xu Jinyong's department in Longmen Station can also be used independently."
Block one side, not to mention there are thousands of guards in the Yunzhou Carpenter Camp. Lord Jin can also call upon them when necessary."
Jin Xinpeng continued: "The commander-in-chief has entrusted him with a heavy responsibility. Xinpeng will definitely work hard to safeguard the foundation of the North Road for the commander-in-chief."
Zhang Cheng smiled and said: "Jin Yong is now guarding Chicheng. Although he has only more than a thousand soldiers under his command, they are all elites who have experienced dozens of large and small battles from the time when they suppressed bandits on the North Road until he followed me into Henan to fight against the rebels.
We have enough soldiers to cope with military changes on the North Road."
When he said this, his tone dropped, and then he added: "In addition, I have a hidden force in Xuanzang Town. At the critical moment, I will show up to help you eradicate the thieves who are causing trouble."
Jin Xinpeng took a breath when he heard this. He had already discovered some clues and suspected that Zhang Cheng had other tricks in Xuanzang. However, thinking that he and Zhang Cheng were getting tighter, he did not think about it further. At this moment, he was filled with fear. Fortunately,
I have always done my job sincerely and never had any external intentions.
The reason why Zhang Cheng disclosed the secret hall to Jin Xinpeng was not only to show his trust in him, but also to give him a reassuring pill and to sound a warning for him.
Just listen to Jin Xinpeng say: "Xinpeng Meng told the commander such a secret matter, which shows his trust. I will dedicate myself to the commander, guard the north road, and wait for the commander's return after victory."
Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Jin."
He turned to look at Jin Yong and said, "Jin Yong, I know you are eager to fight, but the North Road is indeed the base of the army, and a trustworthy general must stay behind. Do you know that?"
When Jin Yong heard this, he immediately got up and left his seat, walked to the middle of the official hall, knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and said, "Jin Yong originally belonged to a thousand households in Dushikou. Fortunately, the commander-in-chief appreciated and valued him, and he is where he is today. Please rest assured, commander-in-chief.
I will definitely repay the commander-in-chief's kindness with my life, and guard Chicheng for the commander-in-chief."
Zhang Cheng smiled and said: "How can you repay me if you die? I want you to live well, kill the enemy in front of me, and make new achievements."
He continued: "I didn't take you to fight in Liaodong this time because I wanted you to stay in Chicheng and recruit more than 2,000 young men from the 100,000 hungry people who fled from Henan to form a battalion for me. The commander of the battalion will be you.
Once we get along, we'll call it 'Yongweiying'."
Zhang Cheng saw Jin Yong with excitement on his face, and continued: "The more than a thousand warriors under your command can be divided into three groups, mixed with the newly recruited young men, and they are divided into three groups: "Yong"
The Wei camp has three divisions: left, middle, and right. Qiu Yingquan, the commander of the central military post, Zheng Youjin, the commander of the A division, and Gao Chengshan, the commander of the second division, serve as the thousand commanders of the three divisions respectively. "
Jin Yong was so shocked by the sudden news that he froze on the spot and didn't know what to do for a moment.
When Jin Xinpeng saw his silly nephew standing there looking at a loss, he cursed in his heart: You are an incompetent person who has even forgotten to thank you?
"Cough cough cough..."
Gu Hao
He coughed hard to remind Jin Yong to thank him quickly. In fact, Jin Yong was not stupid. He just never thought that he could lead a battalion by himself. When he heard such a surprise for the first time, he couldn't adapt to it for a while.
In Zhang Cheng's system, only those who lead a battalion can be considered to be at the general level. Now there are only Zhang Guangda, Chen Zheng, Zhang Guodong, Wei Zhice and other old men who followed him and joined the North Road.
Even Chen Zhong was only promoted to this position recently. You must know that he was Zhang Cheng's personal bodyguard before and was the person he trusted the most. And Li Jiyu was because there were more than ten thousand thieves in the past, and he was comforted after being appeased.
His heart only taught him to lead a battalion alone.
Nowadays, if we look at the entire Beilu Guangdong, there are seven or eight of them, and Jin Yong is the first person appointed by Zhang Cheng as the commander of a battalion!
Jin Xinpeng's cough was not in vain. Jin Yong finally came to his senses after his reminder. He knelt down on his knees with a pop and kowtowed: "Jin Yong will definitely live up to the commander's trust and train a strong force for the commander.
Conquer all directions."
Zhang Cheng said with a smile: "Get up, Jin Guerrilla!"
Jin Yong was stunned again, but then he realized that this was Zhang Cheng's hint that he would serve as a guerrilla general in the near future. He was overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed again.
Jin Xinpeng was also happy on the sidelines. His son did not live up to expectations, but if this nephew could be successful, he could ensure that the Jin family's position on Beilu was stable, and he might even have the opportunity to enter Xuan Town for development.
His son Jin Xiaoguo was originally a dandy. After Zhang Cheng came, he was first caught as an active criminal. Jin Xinpeng grounded him at home and later sent him to the military camp for training.
Who would have thought that he had just changed his temper, but because of his involvement in the incident involving Zhang Cheng's wife and uncle Ning Guangyuan, he was severely beaten by former deputy commander Zhang Guowei in Yongning, so he was not able to participate in this military operation to suppress Henan Province, and he did not achieve any success.
.
However, Jin Xiaoguo was able to suddenly change his gender and no longer idle around causing harm to the village, which made Jin Xinpeng feel at ease, and he was very grateful to Zhang Cheng for this.
Jin Xinpeng here was happy that Jin Yong was promoted and important, but Yan Qingrong on the side was a little unhappy in his heart, but his expression was still as before, showing no emotion at all.
It was at this moment that Zhang Cheng opened his mouth and smiled at Yan Qingrong and said, "Commander Yan, I would like to congratulate you on your promotion to a new position."
An uncoordinated smile appeared on Yan Qingrong's face and he said: "Thanks to the commander-in-chief for being so important and entrusting him with such a heavy responsibility, Qingrong dares not to die."
"Ha ha!"
Zhang Cheng laughed and said, "I believe Lord Yan will be able to do the job. You have Wu Zhizhong to assist you in handling the military affairs at Yongning Guard. Lord Yan's most urgent task at the moment is the resettlement of the hungry people from the north of Henan Province.
.
Although some Longmen guards are placed on the North Road, most of them are placed directly on the East Road, especially the security guards. Lord Yan can take the commander's seal and go to Huailai Guards to supervise the resettlement of the hungry people.
I have sent a message to the security commander Li Yiming, and he will do his best to assist you.
As for the military affairs of these two guards, there is no need to worry too much about it for the time being, as long as the actual registration is done, everything will be dealt with after the commander returns from Liaodong."
Yan Qingrong sat in his chair and clasped his fists and said: "I accept the order, Commander, please rest assured that the resettlement of the hungry people will be done well, so that every new castle will have a harvest this year."
