Chapter 665 What a joy to kill slaves side by side
In the Chinese army's tent, Cheng Ruzhi and Xu Qingyi were divided into the top positions on the left and right sides. The generals who accompanied Zhang Cheng in the battle were all behind them. They gave way at first, but Zhang Cheng made the final decision.

During the banquet, after Zhang Cheng took the lead in toasting the two of them, the generals also came forward to toast again and again, all of them were generals who would be in charge of one side in the future, so they naturally did not dare to neglect, but they were already drunk and drunk after a while Frequent.

What surprised Cheng Ruzhi and Xu Qingyi even more was that Zhang Cheng bought a lot of furs, herbs and other things in Ningyuan, so that they didn't have to take empty loads when they returned, so they could make money when they came and went.

Moreover, there are more supplies in the capital, among which salt, iron, herbs and other items are the most important, and they need their help to transport them back to Xuan Town.

They traveled with the army from the East Road, passed through Juyongguan, Shanhaiguan, and especially Ningyuan, where all the troops gathered, but in their eyes, although the soldiers and horses in Biezhen were quite strong, they were incomparable with the Xuanbei army. Compare.

Marching all the way, not only the formation is strict, the orders are consistent, but there is no disturbance to the people. Compared with it at this moment, it is even more different. The other military camps are chaotic everywhere, and noises can be heard from time to time.

On the other hand, Zhang Cheng's camps were stationed, and all the soldiers were responsible for their duties. The campfire and everything were in order, and there was no noise. The morale of the army was indeed the highest among all armies.

During the banquet, they expressed their allegiance, and declared that they would only want Zhang Cheng to be with them in the future, but whenever they needed it, they would try their best to do a good job for Zhang Cheng.

…………

On the second day, Zhang Cheng ordered his adopted son, Zhang Chengfang, to hold his badge and name card, and lead ten elite riders to escort Cheng Ruzhi and Xu Qingyi out of Shanhaiguan, and they were not allowed to return until they passed Juyongguan.

Before noon, Zhang Cheng led Zhang Jintai to visit Yang Guozhu, the commander-in-chief of Xuanzhen Town, who was his real superior in name.

But for some reason, Zhang Cheng felt that Yang Guozhu didn't treat him as warmly as before. Fortunately, his relative Guo Yingxian treated him as before, which resolved a lot of embarrassment.

However, today he also got acquainted with a young general, this person is the new Xuanzhen guerrilla He Zhenxiong, he and Tang Xiancheng, another commander of the capital, are in charge of the newly recruited [-] infantry.

He Zhenxiong is less than 30 years old, he is very muscular, but he has a high-pitched voice, like a woman, so he usually doesn't talk much.

Tang Xiancheng was a few years younger than He Zhenxiong. He was the same as He Zhenxiong. He originally served as the general manager of Guo Yingxian's Chinese army. After Yang Guozhu practiced the new army, he promoted them to appointment.

And Yang Guozhu took advantage of this opportunity to train the new army under the order. He not only filled up the staff in the main barracks under his command, but also organized all of them into cavalry.

Although there are more than 500 auxiliary soldiers inside, and they are not allowed to fight, but when the enemy army retreats before the battle, they still have the ability to ride and chase the enemy.

Although Yang Guozhu was not as enthusiastic towards Zhang Cheng as he was before King Qin, he still sincerely asked him to have dinner with him, and even asked Guo Yingxian, He Zhenxiong, and Tang Xiancheng to accompany him.

In fact, for Zhang Cheng, he still likes this kind of feeling very much, eating and drinking with his friends who are relatively easy-going, this is life.

On the other hand, the big banquet at Governor Xingyuan the night before was not very interesting, just like the various entertainments he had in later life, he obviously didn't want to participate, but he had to go, a dozen or ten people ate, drank, watched It is indeed very lively.

But the whole banquet was kidnapped by various rules, even the order of eating wine was strictly stipulated, not to mention that there were more and greater interests hidden in it, so we needed to be careful.

It was not like today, although the atmosphere was not so intense and lively due to the small number of people, but the food and drink was more at ease and more comfortable.

During the banquet, Yang Guozhu didn't know why, he still drank as much as before, but he was in a bad mood, and he didn't talk as much as before. Zhang Cheng made several toasts, but he drank it all in one gulp.

When Zhang Cheng saw this, he didn't talk to him about the Liaodong military. He just recalled the little things before and after King Qin with Yang Guozhu and Guo Yingxian, and he sincerely thanked Yang Guozhu for his love and care.

However, He Zhenxiong and Tang Xiancheng, the new guerrillas, respected Zhang Cheng very much. They memorized Zhang Chengqin's deeds when they were kings, and implicitly regarded him as their role model.

Guo Yingxian didn't have any worries, he toasted again and again, he was the most active when the table was full, but Yang Guozhu surprisingly didn't mention him today.

After Xi Sanzhi, Yang Guozhu accompanied Zhang Cheng to the door, a big hand hammered heavily on his shoulder, and his eyes were full of extremely complicated expressions.

He said somewhat vaguely: "Zhang Cheng, today I can kill slaves side by side with you again, what a pleasure."

Zhang Cheng said in a deep voice with a serious face: "Being able to follow Yang Shuai to fight slaves is what Zhang Cheng wishes in his life, and he will have no regrets in life or death!"

Yang Guozhu seemed to have regained his original spirit, and suddenly stared at Zhang Cheng with piercing eyes, but said in a slightly low tone: "Zhang Cheng, you must serve the country faithfully!"

Zhang Cheng was taken aback for a moment. He suddenly said this to Yang Guozhu. He couldn't understand the meaning of it for a while, but he looked at Yang Guozhu with unusual firmness, and he clasped his fists and replied in a low voice: "Shuai Yang, Cheng will be loyal to Xu Guo long ago. I will never disappoint Yang Shuai's high hopes!"

Yang Guozhu stared at Zhang Cheng, hesitant to speak, and finally said nothing, he waved his hand to ask Guo Yingxian to send Zhang Cheng for him for a while, then turned around and went back.

Zhang Cheng looked at Yang Guozhu's receding back, and saw him walking unsteadily, as if he had aged a lot in the past two or three years, and suddenly felt his eyes wet and shed a few tears.

Looking at Yang Guozhu's back at this moment, he thought of his uncle Zhang Yan, Lu Xiangsheng, and Hu Dawei who was far away in Baoding...

Among the people who served as the king together, only Zhang Cheng was growing up, while Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei were getting old. The world is really changing.

Zhang Cheng suddenly wanted to rush up and hug Yang Guozhu, with the idea of ​​wanting to get close to him, but Yang Guozhu's figure also turned away at this moment and disappeared from his sight.

"Ugh……"

Guo Yingxian sighed at the side at this time, and said softly to Zhang Cheng: "Yang Shuai's son, Yang Zhen, was ordered to rescue the Jin Guofeng Department in Songshan Fort the year before last. Unfortunately, he was ambushed in Lu Hongshan, and the entire army was lost. Yang Zhen was also here. die in battle."

Zhang Cheng turned his head to look at Guo Yingxian, he seemed to know why Yang Guozhu was in a bad mood.

Yang Guozhu originally had two sons, but it was a pity that they both died in the battle and sacrificed their lives for the country. He also had a brother named Yang Guodong, who was also killed in battle. The last only seedling of the Yang family was Yang Zhen, who was the deputy general at the time. Future, but unfortunately died for the country.

"Yang Shuai just burned paper money for Mr. Zhen yesterday, and rushed to the northeast to pay homage to Mr. Zhen's heroic spirit."

Guo Yingxian patted Zhang Cheng's shoulder lightly, and continued: "Shuai Yang is in a bad mood today, and he talked less. It's not because he blames you."

Zhang Cheng nodded heavily, and said, "Brother Guo, don't worry, I understand!"
