Chapter 182: The one from Zhencheng is not allowed to let go
In the official hall in the back hall of Chicheng General's Office, Zhang Cheng looked at Lin Fangping and said: "Go and assemble the Tiger Guards and send all the spies and sentries to me. From today on, no bird will be allowed to fly out of the North Road. Especially especially
People from the town are not allowed to leave the North Road without my approval."
Lin Fangping shouted loudly: "Here!"
Seeing Lin Fangping striding out, Zhang Cheng hurriedly asked Zhang Chengfang, who was guarding outside the hall, to invite Jin Xinpeng and Gao Jinggong to come over.
After the two of them entered the official hall and sat down, Zhang Chengcai asked Jin Xinpeng in a calm tone: "Sir Jin, did Deputy Marshal Lin and the two General Liu who came from the town have a good rest last night?"
Jin Xinpeng smiled and replied: "Okay. But it's very good. Especially General Liu Guangwu was very happy. It's a pity that he couldn't get drunk with the commander."
He shook his head and continued: "For fear of delaying the commander-in-chief's dispatch of troops to aid Liao, Deputy Commander Lin will return to the town today, but General Liu Guangwu is very reluctant."
Zhang Cheng also smiled and said: "I only met Deputy Commander Lin for a short time. As Brother Liu, we only got together once when the Dushi was handed over. Now I must ask Deputy Commander Lin and the generals to stay more."
Time, so that I can ask them some military matters."
As he spoke, he looked at Gao Jin Gong aside and said to him: "For the sake of my commander-in-chief, Gao Tongzhi worked the hardest this time. I will record this contribution for the time being and reward him in the future."
Gao Jinggong still had that honest smile on his face, and he said: "Commander Meng did not give up, and he was promoted to the commanding officer through a humble position. I only felt grateful and grateful, so how could I dare to claim credit in front of the commander-in-chief? All these are what a humble position should do."
"Hahaha……"
Zhang Cheng laughed heartily. This highly skilled man was eloquent and very discerning. He knew everything just right. It was really rare. Zhang Cheng also admired him more and more.
At this time, he smiled and said to Gao Jingong: "I have to trouble Gao Tongzhi to make a trip on my behalf. I will definitely keep Deputy Commander Lin and several generals from Zhencheng in Chicheng, and I will not let any of them go.
After I bid farewell to Governor Liu at noon, I will definitely get drunk with Lin Fushuai and several generals."
Gao Jinggong agreed loudly, then stood up and left.
No wonder Zhang Cheng praised him for his foresight. Gao Jinggong knew in his heart that Zhang Cheng had previously transferred him to the Chicheng garrison in order to make room for Xu Jinyong, a member of the Dishui Cliff Thousand Family. In fact, it was Xu Jinyong who Zhang Cheng truly appreciated.
But he also understood what Zhang Cheng was happy about. He was not the material to lead troops in training and fight, so he could not make progress in the war. Otherwise, he had a brilliant mind, and he was just like a Ming Dynasty old man.
At that time, he positioned himself to serve Zhang Cheng well. To put it bluntly, he was willing to be the dog next to Zhang Cheng. Whether it was a biting dog or a pug, it was a dog that was useful to its owner.
Therefore, Gao Jinggong did not care about military affairs when he was in the garrison of Chicheng, and devoted himself to establishing relationships with Chen Zheng, Yan Qingrong and others. It was precisely because of his self-consciousness that Zhang Cheng admired him more.
This time, he was promoted to Kaipingwei Commander-in-Chief. Although it was also to make room for Jin Yong, Gao Jinggong would take a step forward every time he made room for someone else. This was already very satisfying for him.
This time Zhang Cheng was delighted to win Lin'er, so he worked even harder. He worked hard in front of and behind the circle, but he also did a good job of welcoming guests without revealing anything. He secretly admired himself in his heart.
Gu Sha
At this time, when they heard that Zhang Cheng actually ordered him to keep Vice Admiral Lin and several generals who had come to the town on his behalf, they felt that their previous efforts had not been in vain, and finally gained Zhang Cheng's approval.
Moreover, he knew that he was not in Zhang Cheng's inner circle now. Since he had been told what he should do, he took the initiative to resign so that Zhang Cheng and Jin Xinpeng could have some private words.
In this way, he not only saves face for himself, but also avoids the embarrassment of being asked to leave by Zhang Cheng, and it also adds a lot of weight to Zhang Cheng's heart.
After Gao Jingong retired, Zhang Chengcai told Jin Xinpeng the whole story about Lin Fangqing and Cheng Hu, and then told Jin Xinpeng what he had arranged for Zhang Guangda to do, but he hid the details of what Zhang Guangda was going to do.
Jin Xinpeng's face was extremely serious, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes when he looked at Zhang Cheng. This was the first time he felt fear in front of Zhang Cheng.
Zhang Cheng didn't seem surprised by his reaction, he just looked at him with a smile, waiting for his statement.
Jin Xinpeng just thought for a moment and then said: "Everything on the North Road is decided by the commander-in-chief. No matter what the commander-in-chief decides, Jin will follow him to the death."
Zhang Cheng smiled and said: "Sigh, Mr. Jin is serious. They are just some rogues. Quanta will go smoothly here, there is no need to worry about him."
Jin Xinpeng then spoke: "Commander, what I am worried about is that the army will go out to fight in Liaodong in the near future. If something happens in the town, I am afraid that we and others who are left behind will not be able to resist."
Zhang Cheng raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "What can happen? Although our army is full of elites, only Jin Yong and Wu Zhizhong's troops are enough to stop the soldiers and horses in Wen Hui's hands. Even if the entire army comes from the city, , with the morale and morale of our troops on the North Route, we are enough to keep them out of the North Route.
What's more, my army of more than ten thousand is fighting for the country and defending the enemy outside the country. How can the imperial court allow him to act indiscriminately in the rear and carry out brotherly enmity? Even Master Futai will not allow him to act indiscriminately."
Zhang Cheng actually stood up as he spoke, and continued: "Now that I have the northern route, Jin Yong is not the only one. Wu Zhizhong's troops and horses are available, Dushi Sha Zhongwang, Longmen Xu Jinyong, Chang'an Liu Shizun, Muxuanjian Zhao Shihu and others All of us are brave enough to fight with strong armies, and Liu Guangwu from Zhencheng is my eldest brother, so I’m not sure who the army in his hands will help!"
Jin Xinpeng still said worriedly: "Commander, you are just causing trouble in the town. What if the court blames you?"
"Court? Humph!"
Zhang Cheng said nonchalantly: "The imperial court only needs me to work hard for him, as long as I fight well in Liaodong, and as long as my army is still there, the imperial court will not dare to do anything to us. After all, it still needs me to protect the country and the people." , Suppress the bandits internally, and defend the Tartars externally.”
Although Jin Xinpeng did not dare to comment on Zhang Cheng's words, he knew in his heart that it was all the truth, and at this moment, Jin Xinpeng still said with concern: "Commander, you are just causing trouble in the town like this. If the court blames you, Come down?"
"Court? Humph!"
Zhang Cheng said nonchalantly: "The imperial court only needs me to work hard for him, as long as I fight well in Liaodong, and as long as my army is still there, the imperial court will not dare to do anything to us. After all, it still needs me to protect the country and the people." , Suppress the bandits internally, and defend the Tartars externally.”
Although Jin Xinpeng did not dare to comment on Zhang Cheng's words, he knew in his heart that it was all the truth, and he had already
