Chapter 611 If one person is in trouble, the whole army should save him

In the official hall of the Chicheng District Procuratorate Office, Zhang Cheng said to the crowd: "The town's rogues colluded with the officials and wantonly killed the families of our soldiers and soldiers on the North Road. The tens of thousands of soldiers in the army are filled with righteous indignation, and there is a lot of restlessness."

When he said this, he looked up and scanned the people in the hall, and then continued: "At the time when this army is about to go to Liaodong, the morale of the army is unavoidable, and the elbows and armpits have changed. This commander made a decisive decision and ordered all the generals to help. Suppress the soldiers of the battalion and guard the battalion to avoid accidents."

Zhang Cheng raised his voice and continued: "However, Cheng Long's former comrades-in-arms, hundreds of warriors, were grateful for the friendship of the comrades, and couldn't bear to see the survivors of the same robes being persecuted. Heartbroken, they left the camp in anger and rushed to the town to rescue Cheng Long. Two tiger brothers and sisters.

Now that I have returned to the camp, I ask myself to be punished. I think of his loyalty, and because of the urgency of the battle in Liaodong, I temporarily forgive his crime and allow him to accompany the army to assist Liao. "

After Zhang Cheng finished speaking, he stood up and said loudly: "No matter who asks, the matter of town town is the same, and I will take care of everything!"

"Here!" All the generals in the official hall shouted in unison.

Zhang Cheng also said: "Everyone who follows my commander, regardless of whether he is an officer or a general, is a brother of my commander. If one person is wronged, the whole army will be wronged. If one person is in trouble, the whole army should rescue him, and the army's subordinates should be pushed in the same way. .”

After he finished speaking, he strode to the window, raised his finger and pointed at the sun outside the window, and said loudly: "This commander swears to the sky today, if he breaks his promise in the future, the world will not tolerate him, and he will die without a place to die!"

All the people in the official hall, including the governor He Biao, knelt down and worshiped: "The commander is benevolent and righteous, I will see with my own eyes, and I will follow you to the death. If you violate this oath, the world will not tolerate it, and you will have no place to die."

Only then did Zhang Cheng turn around and say, "Everyone should tell the soldiers of the army what I said today, so that my love for soldiers can enter the hearts of every soldier."

"Here!"

All the generals sang in unison again, and shouted loudly: "I will tell all the soldiers what the general said, so that the general's love for soldiers will spread to the hearts of all the generals."

Zhang Cheng nodded in satisfaction. This scene has been done enough. It is time to arrange specific military affairs. He walked slowly back to his chair and sat down. Take a break, I will send someone to pick you up at noon, and you will personally escort Lin Fangqing and Cheng's brothers and sisters to Yongning with the army."

"Here."

Zhang Cheng said to He Biao again: "He Zhenfu should also go back and prepare. This expedition to Liaodong is extraordinary, and the task of the town is especially important. There are only many things for brothers and sisters, and we cannot refuse."

He Biao was very dissatisfied with Zhang Cheng's arbitrarily sending troops to towns and cities to rob prisons, but he was overwhelmed by his impassioned and righteous words, and he couldn't refute them, feeling extremely uncomfortable in his heart.

At this time, Zhang Cheng neither comforted nor explained, but directly appointed him to be the commander of the entire army, and went out with the army, and deliberately lowered his figure, so that he could not shirk his refusal at all.

With a bitter old face, He Biao clasped his fists and said, "I accept orders from a lowly position."

Zhang Cheng was also afraid that he would entangle him, so he just told Jin Yong to guard the Chi Castle, especially to pay special attention to the movements in the town, so he got up and left.

…………

Zhang Cheng came out of the procuratorate's office, and met He Chongwu, the military officer, and Qin Shizheng, the Liang judge, one after another. He just said goodbye to them before dispatching troops, and he didn't have anything special to say, so he came out soon.

He Chongwu had already received an official document from the imperial court before, stating that he did not need to return to Beijing, but could go directly to the Huaiqing Mansion to take up his post, while Qin Shizheng's appointment was still in progress, and it would take several months before the confirmation letter came.

However, in today's Daming Dynasty Hall, there is nothing that money can't do, and if you think about it, there will be no side effects. The rest is just a matter of time.

After coming out of the Household Department's grain management office, Zhang Cheng went straight back to the general's office to bid farewell to the two wives. It happened that Ji Xuanzhu was in good spirits and came here to see his son.

Zhang Cheng teased Zhang Yuding with her for a while, seeing that it was almost noon, but Yang Liying went to recruit female soldiers and did not return, so he ordered Ji Xiuyue to tell Yang Liying: "If there is not enough space in the Zhongjun Hall , the procuratorate office can be temporarily used as the office of the 'Women's Army'."

Ji Xuanzhu sent Zhang Cheng all the way to the gate, watched him get on the horse vigorously, and gradually drifted away under the guard of the boy camp, he couldn't help silently wishing in his heart: May my husband Zhang Cheng have a safe trip, and he will fight in Liaodong and return triumphantly come back!
…………

In the afternoon of the same day, a large group of fine cavalry escorted the four-horse carriage slowly out of the south gate of Chi Castle. Hu Dayou led the rangers to open the way, and Zhang Guangda led the heavy cavalry to escort the four-horse carriage to follow.

Zhang Cheng leads the Boy Camp and the Tiger Guards in the middle, and at the end is the Cavalry Battalion Qingqi Department and the Sui Bing Department as the rear army. Although there are four cavalry in each row, the march stretches for nearly two miles, which looks quite spectacular.

Not far from the city, I saw a stream of smoke and dust billowing from the school ground in the south of the city. Looking closely, it turned out that it was Yang Liying who was recruiting soldiers over there riding a horse.

Zhang Cheng rode his horse out to meet him, Zhang Chengfang led four riders and stopped more than 30 steps behind him, Yang Liying rode his horse and stopped in front of Zhang Cheng's horse, asking: "My husband is leaving now?"

Zhang Cheng rode his horse and cupped his fists and said, "I'm going to Yongning to toast for the former army. Before the army sets off, I think I'll go back to Chicheng again."

Yang Liying didn't write any ink, he said brightly: "Go, you are not allowed to come back until you win the battle."

Zhang Cheng couldn't help laughing "haha", and then lowered his voice and said next to Yang Liying: "Do you think it's a bed fight with your wife? It's not so easy to win!"

Yang Liying's pretty and handsome face was flushed with blushing, and her heroic spirit became even more cute. She said to Zhang Cheng coquettishly, "You're talking nonsense, and you don't have to be ashamed. Seeing you come back, I won't deal with you!"

"Ha ha!"

Zhang Cheng laughed again, he raised his whip and urged his horse to chase after the army, leaving only his heroic shout behind him: "Wait for me, come back victorious, and fight with you for another three hundred rounds!"

"Hahaha……"

…………

That night, Zhang Cheng led the army to camp outside Chang'an Mountain Fort, and he was invited to enter the fort for a banquet. Zhang Guangda and He Biao were also invited, but He Biao didn't like to socialize, so he declined.

During the dinner, Liu Shizun tried his best to beg Zhang Cheng to take him to help Liaodong, and even asked Zhang Guangda to intercede for him, but Zhang Cheng refused.

Zhang Cheng said to him: "Do you think this battle can be fought once?"

He looked at Liu Shizun and continued: "I didn't say that Jiannu was good at fighting, so what if he entered our Daming territory, since the second year of Chongzhen, he invaded Gyeonggi several times, so what?"

Liu Shizun also knew that what Zhang Cheng said was the truth, but he was still not reconciled. He just heard Zhang Cheng continue: "Don't say that Jiannu can't be destroyed for a while, even if the thieves are invaded and sacrificed, they have been suppressed for more than ten years. Suppressed, but more and more suppressed."

Zhang Cheng finally said: "You can exercise your troops with peace of mind and guard Chang'an Ridge for me. When I go to battle next time, whether it's fighting Jiannu or suppressing bandits, I will definitely take you with me!"
