Chapter 632

Outside the gate of the camp where Zhang Cheng was stationed in the Desheng Gate of the capital, there were two other people beside Chen Jiugao, the former commander of the Shenji Battalion.

I saw a person in the middle who was in his 20s, with a handsome appearance, wearing a boa robe, and had an extraordinary bearing. Zhang Cheng guessed that this person must be Li Guozhen, the governor of the Beijing camp and the uncle of Xiangcheng.

There is another person on the other side, tall and thin, who seems to be less than [-] years old, with a face full of shrewdness like Chen Jiugao, judging by his uniform of a second-rank military officer, he can be regarded as Shenjiying There is no doubt about Fu Yingchong, the deputy general of the former battalion.

Xiangcheng uncle Li Guozhen was the first real honorable earl that Zhang Cheng came into contact with after he came to the Ming Empire. He had just arrived in front of the gate, and Chen Jiugao came up to introduce them to each other enthusiastically.

Immediately afterwards Zhang Guangda, the commander of the cavalry battalion, and Lin Fangping of the Tiger Guard battalion also rode over. After being introduced by Chen Jiugao, they were equally surprised. No one thought that Li Guozhen, who is the uncle of Xiangcheng, would come to the camp in person.

Zhang Cheng accompanied Xiangcheng uncle Li Guozhen to the camp of the Chinese army, his eloquence was exceptional, he was eloquent, especially when it came to military strategy, Zhang Cheng was deeply impressed.

Although things started in a hurry, Zhang Cheng didn't have time to make preparations, but it was precisely because of this that Li Guozhen looked at him with admiration.

Although Li Guozhen, uncle of Xiangcheng, is not well-known in history, he does not seem to be a real general, but after all, he comes from a family of martial arts, and he has been familiar with military books and strategies since he was a child. He still has a theoretical foundation, and his level is not high Low.

He traveled all the way, although he was chatting with Zhang Cheng, but his eyes were not idle, and he saw all the states of the cavalry soldiers around him.

Even though Zhang Cheng didn't have many soldiers at the moment, five or six thousand mules and camels were more difficult to manage than war horses, but as soon as they entered the camp, they were in perfect order without any disorder.

What was even more rare was that none of the soldiers was slacking off. At first Li Guozhen thought that Zhang Cheng knew that he was coming, so he pre-arranged strong soldiers outside the gate to show his appearance.

But the more he walked in, the more surprised he was. In Zhang Cheng's camp, there was no laziness at all. Every soldier was full of energy, and all of them were brightly armored and well-armed.

Li Guozhen also heard a little about Zhang Cheng's deeds when he was King Qin, but those were hearsay after all. He always thought that either there were warriors under Zhang Cheng who killed Ma Zhan and Yue Tuo, and the credit went to Zhang Cheng, or it was him. Fortunately, Ma Zhan and Yue Tuo happened to be attacked and killed.

Even though Chen Jiugao introduced Zhang Cheng and the bravery of the soldiers under his command to him several times after returning to the army from Henan, he still thought that Chen Jiugao was just taking the opportunity to improve himself.

…………

In the Chinese military tent, Zhang Cheng invited Li Guozhen to sit at the head. Among all the people, he had the highest military rank, and he had a title, so he did his part. After exchanging pleasantries, everyone took their seats one after another.

Uncle Li Guozhen of Xiangcheng sat down and drank a cup of tea, and asked Zhang Cheng: "Just now I saw that Wang Chengen, the factory prince, has returned to the city, but he is here to pass on the emperor's order."

Zhang Cheng smiled, don't look at him pretending to be a grandson in front of Chongzhen, Wang Chengen and others, but now he has also started acting in front of Li Guozhen.

He said a little mysteriously: "The prince is here to deliver the emperor's oral order."

Zhang Cheng clasped his fists and saluted towards the southern palace, and said, "Your Majesty has nowhere to rest in the capital for his poor general, so he specially bestows on General Zhaoyong's mansion, which is not far from Dong'an Gate."

He picked up the teapot and filled Li Guozhen with tea again, and then said: "Your Majesty is more considerate of the fatigue of the late general, and ordered the people from the small capital in the palace to serve the late general at the mansion. The prince is here to pass on His Majesty's oral instructions. When you return from Liaodong, you can stay in the General's Mansion."

Li Guozhen's performance was better. Although his face was full of astonishment, he was quite stable, but Chen Jiugao and Fu Yingchong were a little bit out of control, especially Fu Yingchong who was still holding the airs of a general in the Beijing camp. Hearing that Zhang Cheng was so favored by the emperor, he was so shocked that he almost dropped his teacup.

Li Guozhen glanced at Fu Yingchong, frowned slightly, but recovered in an instant, and said to Zhang Cheng with a smile: "General Zhang has fought for the country and has made great achievements many times. Although it is only right for him to be favored by His Majesty, it is even more necessary." Be loyal to the king's affairs in order to repay the grace of heaven."

Zhang Cheng said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes. Uncle Xiangcheng's teachings, Zhang Cheng must take it to heart."

Li Guozhen turned his head and said solemnly to Fu Yingchong, the deputy general of Shenji Battalion beside him: "Qinglin, General Zhang fought in the army, not to mention unparalleled in the world, he is also a leader in the army, and I admire him very much .

You have this opportunity to go to Liaodong with General Zhang today, you should cherish it, ah..."

He continued: "I brought you here today to give you a chance to ask General Zhang for advice on how to lead troops, understand?"

Fu Yingchong immediately got up and cupped his fists and said, "Master will understand, please rest assured, Uncle, it's really a great fortune to have a superior like Uncle."

As soon as Fu Yingchong opened his mouth to speak, two huge canine teeth were exposed from his mouth. Zhang Cheng seemed to smell the same smell as Chen Jiugao in him. Do sons.

Seeing that Fu Yingchong was being taught respectfully, Li Guozhen nodded with satisfaction, and he said to Chen Jiugao: "Jiugao, when you aided the suppression of Henan province, you fought with General Zhang through life and death, and you performed well, and you are quite worthy of the emperor. Appreciation.

This time I will go to Liaodong again, and I can fight the enemy side by side with General Zhang, but I can't discredit our Beijing camp, and I need to support you, brother Fu, as a good brother, we must advance and retreat together, and help the king together. "

Chen Jiugao stood up with a serious face and clasped his fists and replied: "Uncle please rest assured, Jiugao knows what to do, this time he marches into Liaodong, he will definitely advance and retreat with General Zhang, and will never lose face of our Beijing camp.

As for Brother Qinglin, he is our own brother, one body with Jiugao, not to mention the mighty firearms of our Shenji camp, please rest assured, uncle, this time the Donglu will surely see how powerful we are! "

He said it in a relaxed and heroic way, which fits the atmosphere of today, and everyone laughed happily.

Li Guozhen, Boss of Xiangcheng, chatted with Zhang Cheng for a while while drinking tea. He had many hints in his words, intending to make things easier for Zhang Cheng, citing one or two things to Chen Jiugao and Fu Yingchong, so that they could stand up more. military exploits.

Zhang Cheng naturally knew that Li Guozhen, Boss of Xiangcheng, came here for only two purposes, that is to ask Zhang Cheng to take care of the Beijing camp in the Liaodong military, not only for the face of the Beijing camp, but also for the future of Chen Jiugao and Fu Yingchong .

Uncle Xiangcheng had already said what he had said in the early morning, and his consciousness was clearly expressed, so he got up to say goodbye and leave. Zhang Cheng tried every means to persuade him to stay, but he insisted not to stay and disturb because of the complicated affairs of the Beijing camp.

Zhang Cheng was helpless, so he sent him out of the Yuanmen all the way, while Chen Jiugao and Fu Yingchong stayed and wanted to discuss with Zhang Cheng about entering the Liaodong army.

Outside the gate, Uncle Li Guozhen of Xiangcheng said with a hearty smile, "Don't bother to send it away, General Zhang, please stay."

He turned his head and looked at Chen Jiugao and Fu Yingchong again, and said meaningfully: "You should cherish it, eh!"

After speaking, surrounded by the guards, he rode his horse and rushed towards Deshengmen.
