Upon hearing Zhao Junchen's inquiry, Wang Shizhen took the lead in looking at He Rensheng, hoping that He Rensheng could be the first to provide some useful information.
However, He Rensheng lowered his head and remained silent at this time, obviously not intending to speak first.
After seeing this situation, Wang Shizhen had no choice but to rack his brains and try to think of useful information.
Zhao Junchen's confidant Niu Fude once assisted Wang Shizhen. Because of this relationship, Wang Shizhen felt very close to Zhao Junchen and was willing to do his best to provide some help to Zhao Junchen.
As the governor of Liaodong, Wang Shizhen's governor's office was actually located in Liaoyang City. However, because Jinzhou Camp was the actual military and political center of Liaodong, Wang Shizhen often had to assist He Yu in doing things, so he spent more time in Jinzhou City.
longer.
Jinzhou City and Jinzhou Camp are two places. Jinzhou City is where the people live and is managed by local officials, while Jinzhou Camp is located ten miles east of Jinzhou City and is where the border troops are stationed.
The commander-in-chief of Liaodong Town is in charge.
However, Wang Shizhen did not know enough about the specific situation of Jinzhou Camp after all. He Yu had always been polite to Wang Shizhen, but He Yu had always believed in the principle of "keeping things secret" and would never deliberately reveal more information to Wang Shizhen
.
After thinking like this for a long time, Wang Shizhen replied: "As far as I know, the most critical figure in the Jinzhou camp is currently Jinzhou garrison Peng Ji. He is not only in charge of all defenses in Jinzhou, but also in charge of
Daily affairs in Jinzhou Daying...
But because He Yu was too domineering and Peng Ji worked under He Yu's nose, he never dared to show off his talents. He always followed He Yu in everything. His temperament was quite low-key, so he didn't know his humble position.
What is his true character, but because this person is also responsible for managing the military depot of Jinzhou Camp, Zhao Gechen will definitely have a lot of dealings with him in the future;
As for Yao Rang, the eunuch who supervises the army, it is even harder to guess... Zhao Gechen, you also know that over the past hundred years, seven or eight of the eunuchs who were sent to Liaodong Town by the imperial court have died in mysterious circumstances.
, so the recent eunuchs who oversee the army have also learned the lesson. They all dare not make mistakes and put self-preservation first. They are just like clay statues of Bodhisattva, which are just decorations. They are afraid that they will also die in battle for no reason.
Death from illness...
The same situation applies to Eunuch Yao Rang. Since arriving in Liaodong, he has never done anything, and it can even be said that he never leaves his house. If Liaodong Town is willing to share his benefits, he will accept it frankly. If Liaodong Town
He is unwilling to share his benefits, and he never complains, so he is also ignorant of the true character of Eunuch Yao..."
Well, saying it means not saying it.
So, Zhao Junchen turned his attention to He Rensheng.
He Rensheng seemed unwilling to cooperate, but Zhao Junchen recognized He Rensheng's bookishness and kept staring at him, so He Rensheng soon couldn't stand it anymore.
After shaking his head and giving a wry smile, He Rensheng explained: "Peng Shoubei and the General Soldier are brothers-in-law, and they are also the sons-in-law of the Li family. However, the General Soldier only regards the Li family as a convenient tool, while Peng Shoubei is the son-in-law who intervenes in the family.
, is much more loyal to the general Li family, and he is well-rounded and good at making friends. Before Li Shijie emerged, he was the representative of the interests of the general Li family in Liaodong Town...
According to the Commander-in-Chief, Peng Shoubei is a big spider who is good at weaving webs. You must keep him under your nose and keep a close eye on him, and beat him from time to time to keep him honest. Therefore, Peng Shoubei has been serving as a spider in recent years.
Jinzhou's garrison duty, and because of the constant beatings from the commander-in-chief, Peng garrison has become more and more low-key."
Zhao Junchen nodded thoughtfully.
He Rensheng continued: "As for the eunuch Yao Rang, when he went to serve as the eunuch of the Liaodong Town Supervisory Army, the General of the Army specially sent people to the capital to investigate him. I heard that this eunuch Yao knew that he was appointed as the eunuch of the Liaodong Town.
After supervising the eunuch of the army, his hands and feet were paralyzed with fear and his face turned pale. Then he had trouble sleeping and eating for several days. I also heard that he had secretly cried several times. He must be a timid person...
However, after he served as the eunuch of the Liaodong Town Supervisory Army, although he never dared to interfere in the specific military affairs of Liaodong Town, he was very diligent in collecting intelligence in private. He would also organize the information he had gathered in detail and send it back to the Royal Horse Supervisor in a timely manner.
He is also a diligent and conscientious person. By the way, this eunuch Yao was appointed to the hard job of being a eunuch in the Liaodong Town Supervisory Army. It is said that he did not get along with others in the inner court."
"Not gregarious..." Zhao Junchen muttered to himself, falling into deep thought.
There are many explanations for the lack of harmony in the inner court. Maybe it’s the unwillingness to join in the conspiracy to make money, maybe it’s the unwillingness to join the party to harm others, or maybe… it’s the unwillingness to secretly support the seventh prince Zhu Hejian like most eunuchs in the inner court!
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Junchen asked again: "As far as I know, the Liaodong Iron Cavalry has a total of 12,000 soldiers and horses, divided into ten teams, and is governed by ten thousand households. Among them, two teams of Liaodong Iron Cavalry are permanently stationed in
Shenyang City in the North Road Defense Zone is under the control of North Road Commander Ximen Sheng, while the other eight teams of Liaodong Cavalry all stay in the Jinzhou Camp and directly obey the orders of the Commander-in-Chief He Yu...
Among these eight Liaodong cavalrymen, I have already met you, Liu Xiong, He Bandit, Shi Cheng, and Li Shijie. In addition to you five, there should be three others in the Jinzhou camp.
There are thousands of Liaodong cavalrymen, who are they? What are their temperaments and backgrounds?"
He Rensheng hesitated for a moment and replied: "The three Liaodong cavalry Qianhu are respectively Luo Bing, Luo Qianhu... Yan Zhen, Yan Qianhu, and Wu Jiyun Wu Qianhu."
At this point, He Rensheng remained silent again, apparently unwilling to introduce in detail the temperament and background of these three Liaodong cavalrymen.
Deep down in He Rensheng's heart, he always regarded the Liaodong Cavalry as He Yu's private property. Even if He Yu was dead, he would not let anyone interfere with it.
Zhao Junchen smiled slightly and said: "Let me guess, compared to you, He Bandit, Liu Xiong, and Shi Cheng, the three Liaodong cavalrymen who stayed in the Jinzhou camp, among the thousands of households,
Even if Yan Zhen and Wu Jiyun were He Yu's military henchmen, they could not be regarded as hard-core confidants. It was just because their backgrounds were too deep or their military exploits were too great that they were promoted to Liaodong Iron Cavalry Qianhu by He Yu, right?
?
He Rensheng's face was full of shock, and he looked at Zhao Junchen as if he were a ghost. He didn't know why Zhao Junchen knew these inside stories.
Zhao Junchen was kind-hearted and patiently explained in detail: "Among the eight thousand households of Liaodong Iron Cavalry in Jinzhou Camp, Shi Cheng and Li Shijie are not only the thousand households of Liaodong Iron Cavalry, but also the personal leaders of General He.
Among them, Shi Cheng has always been loyal to Mr. He, and Li Shijie is the legitimate son of the general Li family. Obviously, it is impossible to be completely loyal to Mr. He. The reason why he can become the leader of Mr. He's personal soldiers is probably because of his relationship with Mr. He.
As Peng Ji serves as Jinzhou's garrison, Chief He keeps him by his side just to keep an eye on him...
This situation also means that not all Liaodong Iron Cavalry Thousand Households were entrusted with important tasks by General He because of their loyalty. There are also a small number of Liaodong Iron Cavalry Thousand Households because General He wanted to take over.
They stayed under his nose, so he let them serve as Qianhu of the Liaodong Cavalry!
After General He was kidnapped, you, Bandit He, and Liu Xiong led the troops to Hujiazhuang to provide support. This matter was related to General He Yu's life, so those who led the troops to support must all be right.
General He is the most loyal confidant, and this situation also means that the three Liaodong cavalry Qianhu who stayed in the Jinzhou camp are relatively less loyal than you, Bandit He, and Liu Xiong.
Of course, if I only base on these circumstances, I cannot make any further judgments. After all, it is possible that the three Liaodong cavalry Qianhu who stayed in Jinzhou Camp are also loyal, even if they are slightly less loyal than you and He Bandit, Liu Xiongsan
He is a human being, but he is also loyal and unwavering.
But after I saw that you were unwilling to reveal the specific information about these three people, I knew that you must be worried about something. If the loyalty of these three Liaodong cavalrymen is really unshakable, why should you be worried? So?
, among the thousands of Liaodong cavalrymen, there must be someone who is not so loyal to He Yu, and you are worried that I will take advantage of this situation, so you have scruples!
When you tell this pavilion the names of these three Liaodong cavalry Qianhu, there is almost no hesitation when you mention Luo Bingluo Qianhu, but when you mention Yan Zhen Yan Qianhu and Wu Jiyun Wu Qianhu
When speaking, he couldn't help but hesitate in his tone and his eyes flickered, as if he didn't want me to pay attention to these two people... So, these two people are not so loyal to He Yu, right?
However, this series of speculations are just speculations after all, so I simply stated my guesses directly and took the opportunity to deceive you. The change in your expression undoubtedly proved that I was not wrong...
To be honest, I like your bookishness very much, you have a mind but no scheming, you have knowledge but no scheming, this is a good thing!"
He Rensheng was stunned for a long time, then shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "I am in a humble position, but I don't like my bookishness, so I always miss my job because of it."
Zhao Junchen said leisurely: "Commander He has been killed, why do you have to hide some things? Let's talk about the background and temperament of the three Liaodong cavalry Qianhu stationed in the Jinzhou camp."
The reason why Zhao Junchen deliberately bluffed He Rensheng and told He Rensheng his speculation process in detail was to let him know that there was no use in concealing the information. Zhao Junchen would investigate it sooner or later, but it would only take a little more time and energy. At the same time,
He also wanted to bring the relationship closer between the two parties and reduce He Rensheng's defensiveness.
After He Rensheng was silent for a moment, he said: "Luo Bingluo Qianhu was born as a personal guard under the command of the Commander-in-Chief, so he is naturally loyal to the Commander-in-Chief. As for Yan Zhen, Yan Qianhu and Wu Jiyun and Wu Qianhu, they are not.
They are particularly loyal, but for some reasons, the Commander-in-Chief must reuse them, so he let them serve as the Qianhu of the Liaodong Cavalry.
Among them, the reason for Yan Zhen and Yan Qianhu is because of his extremely high military merits. The General of the Army cherishes his talents and understands that if he does not reuse him, he will definitely attract criticism. However, Yan Zhen himself has always been concerned about the current situation of Liaodong Town's self-respect of soldiers.
He was dissatisfied and publicly criticized him many times, so the commander-in-chief did not dare to let him serve as a local garrison, so he was assigned to lead the Liaodong cavalry.
As for Wu Jiyun Wu Qianhu, he is the son of Wu Shanqi, the sworn brother of the Chief Soldier, and also the adopted son of the Chief Soldier. When the Chief Soldier had not yet been promoted to Chief Soldier, Wu Shanqi also had the opportunity to take over the position of Chief Soldier, but one time
The General Soldier and Wu Shanqi joined forces to fight against the Jianzhou Jurchens. As a result, the General Soldier retreated unscathed, while Wu Shanqi was wiped out and died on the battlefield. Therefore, Wu Jiyun believed the rumors... and suspected that the General Soldier had assassinated his father.
, and in order to put an end to the rumors and put things right, the Commander-in-Chief promoted Wu Jiyun to Liaodong Iron Cavalry Qianhu and has been keeping him with him ever since."
After hearing He Rensheng's further explanation, Zhao Junchen suddenly felt enlightened.
At the beginning, Zhao Junchen was a little surprised that He Rensheng was willing to tell the truth about Jinzhou's guard Peng Ji, but he was unwilling to explain the situation of Yan Zhen and Wu Jiyun.
But now, Zhao Junchen finally understands that although Jinzhou garrison Peng Ji is not completely loyal to He Yu, he is loyal to the general Li family after all and has an established position. Even if Zhao Junchen wants to take advantage of Peng Ji, there is no room for maneuver.
Extremely large.
But in the case of Yan Zhen and Wu Jiyun, once used properly, there is a lot of room for maneuver!
However, before Zhao Junchen could think carefully about how he should operate, he saw Linghu Guang galloping in front of Zhao Junchen, raising his hand and pointing forward, reporting: "Look, Zhao Junchen, the people from Jinzhou Camp are
We’re out of camp to greet you.”
After entering Jinzhou, Song Dahe, the commander-in-chief of the Liaodong branch, quickly left Zhao Junchen's team and returned to his station to prepare for war. However, Linghu Guang followed Zhao Junchen shamelessly, especially when he saw Jiang
After Quan was no longer with Zhao Junchen, he took over the task of running errands on his own initiative. It could be said that he worked hard and pleased Zhao Junchen wholeheartedly.
After hearing Linghu Guang's report, Zhao Junchen raised his head and looked forward. Sure enough, he saw the gate of the Jinzhou camp wide open. Thousands of soldiers came out of the camp to form a team. Some people even organized gongs, drums and flags. Apparently,
Relevant information was received in advance, and the formation was just to welcome Zhao Junchen.
Zhao Junchen no longer thought about it, and immediately rode his horse and led the team to rush forward, and soon met the welcoming team.
Zhao Junchen looked carefully and soon saw the five leaders in the welcoming team. They were obviously Jinzhou garrison Peng Ji, military eunuch Yao Rang, and three Liaodong cavalrymen, Luo Bing, Yan Zhen, and Wu Jiyun.
.
After closing the distance between the two sides, Zhao Junchen stopped his horse and stayed where he was, while Wang Shizhen continued to move forward, shouting loudly: "Invited by Wu Yingxiong, the governor of Jiliao and the generals of Liaodong Town, Zhao Junchen went to the Jinzhou camp to preside over it in person.
For logistical matters, please come and see me quickly!"
…
Second update, there will be another update before midnight.
