Chapter 581 Zhang Cheng led the army back to Xuan Town

That night, when the lights were on, Zhang Cheng and Wang Yuanjing were sitting opposite each other drinking tea in a wing room in the backyard of the Yanhechaoguan Government Office. After Wang Yuanjing filled Zhang Cheng's cup, he said, "The commander-in-chief means that money, food and military affairs should be handled separately." ?"

Zhang Cheng looked at Wang Yuanjing with great interest, and said: "This place is indeed far away from Xuanzhen, and many things are difficult to control. Chen Zhongyuan is the head of my personal army, and I can trust him, but there are some things that should be done. To do, not only to do, but also to sit in the head."

He looked at Wang Yuanjing and continued: "We have resettled more than ten thousand hungry people here in Hebei, and we can take in more hungry people in the future. As for the work of reclaiming wasteland and farming, Yang Shili will assist Chen Zhong in handling it.

As for Chaoguan, you will be in charge of it. After everything is on the right track, I will consider arranging someone to replace you.What's more, after the collected money and food are recorded in the account and put into the warehouse, another person will be sent to guard it. There must be two lines of income and expenditure, each performing its own responsibilities, and not disturbing each other. This is the only way. "

"Here. Please don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, Yuan Jing will handle the banknotes properly."

After Wang Yuanjing finished speaking, he filled Zhang Cheng's teacup, and said with a little worry, "Marshal, after you return to Xuan Town, you have to prepare for the aid of Liaodong. The timing is so urgent?"

Zhang Cheng turned his head to look at the swaying branches outside the window and said with a sigh, "It's only the beginning of March, and the time is rushing, but I don't know how this battle will turn out in the end!"

…………

The next day, this was the second time for Zhang Cheng to visit the prosperity of Yanhe Town. After breakfast, he and Yang Liying wandered around the town. Although Zhang Cheng didn't care, Yang Liying enjoyed the company of this handsome guy The scene of shopping.

It wasn't until noon, and after everyone had lunch together, Zhang Cheng and Yang Liying rode their horses and drove east along the official road. Yu's cavalry team rushed in the direction of Yangwu.

At dusk, the army camped at the intersection of Qinshui and the Yellow River in Wushenan. Liu Jinhai had been waiting here for a long time. After the army camped, he sneaked into the camp under the cover of Zhang Guangda.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhang Cheng sat firmly on the chair behind the big case. At the moment, there were only him and Liu Jinhai in the military tent. Liu Jinhai had already reported the resettlement of Li Jiyu and the more than [-] starving people before.

…………

It turned out that Liu Jinhai accompanied Li Jiyu to escort more than [-] hungry people to the north. On the way, they attracted the response of hungry people from Weihui and Zhangde prefectures, and the team expanded bigger and bigger.

Although more than [-] hungry people were resettled when they passed Huya Village and Langwopo on the way, most of the hungry people still entered Xuanzhen East Road, and a small part of them entered North Road.

These hungry people are like a new force. They not only enrich the Dingkou of the East Road and North Road, but also make them more industrious because of their survival nature. The whole East Road presents a thriving scene because of their arrival. .

Wu Zhizhong originally devoted himself to training the left and right armies of Yongning Battalion, but with the arrival of more than [-] recruits from Liu Jinhai and Li Jiyu, and the sudden appearance of more than [-] hungry people, it was really difficult for him to adapt for a while.

But with the passage of time, most of the more than [-] hungry people were resettled in the East Road, and Wu Zhizhong became more and more handy. According to Zhang Cheng's instructions, he dispersed Song Shanquan's troops and mixed them into Li Jiyu's [-] people. Among the recruits.

After the reorganization, Li Jiyu led a battalion alone, with two infantry under his command, and the Chinese army had about [-] troops, while the remaining [-] new troops were mixed into Wu Zhizhong's Yongning Battalion. become the middle of its battalion.

So far, Wu Zhizhong's Yongning camp has also been equipped with three divisions, Song Shanquan's left division, Lei Kejun's right division, and the newly formed central division.

The reason why Zhang Cheng secretly ordered Wu Zhizhong to operate in this way is to divide Li Jiyu's strength; Lu Zhujiang's trust.

This is a signal, Zhang Cheng believes that generals who can climb to a certain position in the army are not stupid, they will naturally understand their own thoughts.

But Li Jiyu was very satisfied with this, because he never thought that Zhang Cheng would ask him to lead the army alone. In fact, in his heart, he thought that he would be content with being a deputy to a certain general under Zhang Cheng's command. Understand.

Now, Zhang Cheng actually followed his words, and he really made him lead the army alone. Although the number was a little smaller than before, the equipment was indeed much stronger.

Although Li Jiyu started the incident not long ago and didn't have much time to lead the army, he was no ordinary person. All this was true in his eyes. In his heart, he was grateful to Zhang Cheng for his trust in him, and secretly vowed to stand out. , lived up to Zhang Cheng's trust in him.

Zhang Cheng is still very satisfied with Li Jiyu's performance. Zhang Cheng believes that people in this era have a lot of loyalty, but he believes in profit more because he has been a man for two generations. People are always driven by profit. Exactly so.

Therefore, he didn't really trust Li Jiyu, but just used his reputation in Dengfeng and Mi County, and now he has used this to transfer the hungry people to Xuanzhen East Road.

However, he still wanted to make Li Jiyu truly return to himself, and it was just a trial at the moment, although Li Jiyu still received a soldier of more than 2000 soldiers, and he had not mixed sand into it.

But from the camp to the drill, he was in full control of everything, especially the issue of paying. Li Jiyu, as the battalion officer, had nothing to do. rate.

This is Zhang Cheng's skill. He can give you military power and political power, but Zhang Cheng will never let others control his core, and he will never let others have the opportunity to control his core.

…………

On the ninth day of March, Yanjin County on the north bank of the Yellow River was still under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture. The banners of the army outside the city were fluttering in the spring breeze, and the troops of Zhang Cheng and Chen Jiugao gathered here.

According to the proclamation issued by the Ministry of War of the imperial court, Zhang Cheng should immediately lead the troops to rescue Liaodong, but he has now led the army into Henan to suppress the bandits for more than half a year. .

Under Zhang Cheng's repeated requests for instructions, the imperial court allowed him to lead the army back to Xuanzhen, rest for a while, and then lead the army to assist Liaodong after the army's morale is stable, but it must not delay the opportunity of battle!
Zhang Cheng and Chen Jiugao, the chief soldier of the Beijing battalion, bid farewell to Chen De here, leading the mighty army to the north, returning home like an arrow, not to mention that the soldiers did not feel tired on the journey, even Zhang Cheng felt the journey back to his hometown , that is getting smoother and smoother!
