Chapter 7

In the east of Changping City, at the camp of King Qin's army in Xuanzhen, Zhang Cheng's tent, head of a thousand cavalry troops.

Zhang Cheng was talking with Chen Zheng, the chief of the outpost, when footsteps sounded outside the tent, but it was Zhang Guangda, the chief of the left outpost, and Hu Dake, the chief of the rear, came in together.

The two of them went into the army tent, and each found a wooden block, and moved them to sit in front of Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Guangda has a beard on his face, so his colleagues in the army nicknamed him "Zhang Beard", but few people dared to call him like this in person, because this fellow was tall and strong, with a fierce look on his face, and he was not angry. .

And that Hu Dake is also tall and mighty, but he has a kind face, he is young, and he is very tactful in handling things, so he is very popular in the army.

"Master, you've been working hard all day, why don't you take a break?" Zhang Guangda spoke in a low voice, but he was quite concerned about Zhang Cheng.

"I also want to rest, but there are a lot of military affairs, so rest is not easy." Zhang Cheng said while rubbing his temples.

At this time, Chen Zhong, the captain of the personal army, came into the tent accompanied by Wu Zhizhong, the chief of the right sentry post. Wu Zizhong also moved a wooden pier by himself and sat beside the table. Chen Zhong naturally stood behind Zhang Cheng, with a straight posture. , Press the waist knife with your hand.

After Wu Zhizhong sat down, he saw Chen Zhong standing behind Zhang Cheng with his hand on his waist knife, so he smiled and said to Chen Zhong: "I said, little Zhongzi, you also find a wooden pier to sit on, don't poke it like a tree stump." Go!"

Chen Zhong just grinned, but didn't answer, just stood where he was, and didn't look for Mudunzi, instead he straightened his body even more.

Zhang Cheng said with a smile at this time: "This kid likes to stand, old Wu, why don't you let him sit down all the time!"

Everyone in the tent laughed, Wu Zhizhong was in his thirties, he was the oldest among all the people in the tent, and he had rich military experience and was highly respected.

"Old Wu, how did you go about explaining to you?" Zhang Cheng asked.

Wu Zhizhong licked his lips and said: "It's all done, according to the master's order, four hundred shi of rice and wheat, about [-] shi of beans, and a lot of dried meat and salt.

Together with more than 600 horses and mules from our headquarters, they are all behind Mr. Liu Qian, and they came to Changping with their infantry. "

Zhang Cheng asked solemnly: "Then Mr. Liu Qian, don't you suspect anything?"

Everyone in the tent turned their heads to look at Wu Zhizhong, only to hear him say: "No, that idiot, I have a whole army of cavalry guarding him. Just tell Mr. Liu Qian that our military resources will come to Changping with them.

In addition, there is our black-faced He Zhenfu, who is escorted by the army. Forgive me, Mr. Liu Qian will not dare to do anything. "

After Wu Zhizhong finished speaking, he grinned, and everyone in the tent laughed knowingly.

The black-faced He Zhenfu that Wu Zhizhong mentioned was the town governor of Zhang Chengqian's headquarters, He Biao from a hundred households.

This person is the most principled man and official, he is old-fashioned and stubborn, no matter who he faces in the army, he will always have a black face, as if everyone owes him 100 taels of silver, almost unreasonable.

Only show a little respect to Zhang Yan, Zhang Cheng's uncle and nephew, because Zhang Yan saved He Biao's life back then.

"Well, with He Zhenfu here, there shouldn't be any problem." Zhang Cheng also laughed after speaking.

"Master, you borrowed more than 2000 taels of usury, how can you repay it when you go back?" Hu Dake was a little worried.

"Haha, why do you think so much? If I can go back alive, I'll pay it back. I'll see who dares to take it!" Zhang Cheng said nonchalantly.

It turned out that after Zhang Cheng crossed over and figured out what was going on, he began to prepare for the defense of Gyeonggi.

He knew this, and even if he wanted to hide, he couldn't hide, so after he recovered, he stayed in the barracks. On the one hand, he was familiar with the situation of his subordinates, and on the other hand, he was looking for the feeling of the army, and familiarized himself with his current body. His strength, including battle skills such as riding and shooting and horse slashing, these are the capital to protect himself and his life in the future war.

Moreover, before the team set off, they found several pawnshops in the town many times, and even loan sharks in the city were turned away because they had no collateral.

So on the eve of departure, Zhang Cheng led his own soldiers to find a gangster who lent money in the town, and directly took him to the barracks. He was accused of being a thief and was about to be executed. After everyone cooperated After some acting, 2000 taels of silver were finally forcibly extorted.

The next day, before dawn, he led his army to set off, and left an IOU for the bitter master, which read: 2000 taels of silver, and when the army returned triumphantly, it would be returned with interest.

Then, he quietly left the right post, nominally guarding his uncle and general Zhang Yan, but in fact the chief of the post, Wu Zhizhong, had other missions.

That is to use the 2000 taels of silver obtained by fraud to privately purchase materials such as rice noodles and beans, and then escort them to Beijing with the Buying.

It is estimated that the gangster who was extorted 2000 taels of silver at this time is burning incense and praying to Buddha to bless Zhang Cheng for his safe return. What can he do when he meets such a group of desperate Qiu Ba!

……

Everyone chatted for a while, and after seeing that the time was almost up, everyone retreated so that Zhang Cheng could have a rest.

Zhang Cheng watched "True Records of Military Training" again, and when the time was almost up, Chen Zhong came in to remind Zhang Cheng, and helped Zhang Cheng put on his armor by the way.

Chen Zhong helped Zhang Cheng tidy up the armor on his body, and said to Zhang Cheng: "Master, the horses are ready, should we go to the general now?"

Zhang Cheng hung his saber on his waist and said, "I can go by myself, you don't have to follow."

After speaking, he got up and went out of the tent, took the reins from the soldiers, turned over vigorously, stepped on the horse, and went away with the whip.

When Zhang Cheng arrived at Zhang Yan's tent, his uncle Zhang Yan was already waiting for him. Seeing him coming, he got up and said, "Cheng'er, let's go, don't tell Yang Junmen to wait."

General Zhang Yan of the Xuanfu is nearly forty years old, and looks handsome. At this time, he is wearing a water-milled willow-leaf steel armor, lined with thick red cotton, a golden phoenix-winged helmet on the top, and a bright red cloak behind him. , quite majestic.

After Zhang Yan finished speaking, he got up and got out of the military tent. Zhang Cheng waited on his uncle to mount his horse, and he himself got on his horse. Following Zhang Yan, he rushed to the Chinese army tent of Yang Guozhu, the chief soldier of the Xuanfu.

When Zhang Cheng followed Zhang Yan to the tent of the Chinese army of Yang Guozhu, the general of the Xuanfu, there were only the generals of the Chinese army who were the general of Yang Guozhu, and Guo Yingxian, a Chinese military officer with guerrilla rank, led the generals of the main army battalion in the tent.

This Guo Yingxian is also in his 40s, not tall, but extremely stout, wearing a thick long body armor of vermilion oil and iron, and a bright red cloak.

He looks boxy and square, and there are many scars from knife wounds on his face, which makes people know that he is an old soldier who has survived many battles and has been promoted through hard work.

And the person sitting in the middle of the big tent of the Chinese army is the governor of the military governor's mansion, General Zhenshuo, Yang Guozhu, the commander-in-chief of Xuanfu, and he is a second-rank official.

He is nearly half a hundred years old, but he is tall and burly, with a Chinese character face, his face is full of wind and frost, he has the demeanor of a general who has been tempered by the army, he is covered with a thick iron armor, and he is also covered with a bright red cloak. Sitting on a big chair Going up, not angry and pretentious, there is a table in front of him, and there are several large tea bowls on the table.

Seeing Zhang Yan coming in, he glanced at Zhang Cheng with both eyes, and there was a majestic aura in Gu Panzhong, and he said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, sit down and drink some water first, and when the two guerrillas arrive, I will go together." Governor Xingyuan."

Zhang Yan saw that Guo Yingxian was sitting in the first position on the lower right side of Yang Guozhu, the commander-in-chief. There was also a small desk in front of him with a bowl of tea on it, and all the commanders of the main barracks stood upright behind him.

He walked to the first table on the left side of Yang Guozhu and sat down. Zhang Cheng hurriedly followed, standing upright behind his uncle Zhang Yan.

After Zhang Yan stood still, he nodded slightly to the bosses who were standing opposite Guerrilla Guo Yingxian, as a greeting.

In his memory, Zhang Cheng felt very familiar with them. After all, Commander Qian was already a leader in the army, not to mention his own uncle was also a general.

It's just that their understanding of these generals in Xuanzhen is very vague. It seems that they can only get in touch with them again and get to know them in depth in the days to come.

"Hey"

At the time of Julu, these people probably all ran back to Xuan Town.

Zhang Cheng meditated in his heart, relying on his memory, he knew that Xuan, Da, and Shanxi towns were at the last moment. They chose to obey Gao Qiqian's military order, broke away from Duchen Lu's brigade, and fed Governor Xuanda to the Tartars, but then Why blame them all?

As soon as Zhang Yan sat down, Yang Guozhu's personal soldiers came up immediately, picked up a large kettle from the stove in the middle of the tent, and poured him a bowl full of hot tea.

Seeing Zhang Yan sit down, Guo Yingxian said in a rough voice, "Are Li Jianming and Wen Hui not coming until Shen Shi?"

Zhang Yan took a sip of tea, and said warmly, "Old Guo is impatient, and the military gate is not too bad for this moment, so we'll just wait for the two guerrillas."

Yang Guozhu, the chief soldier sitting at the top, had a slightly displeased expression on his face when he heard the words, his brows were slightly frowned, and he had some opinions on Li Jianming and Wen Hui.

Just at this moment, the tent door was raised, and Li Jianming, a guerrilla from Xuanzhen, came hand in hand with Wen Hui, followed by their respective subordinates, Qian Zong.

Standing behind his uncle, Zhang Cheng looked at the two carefully.

Li Jianming is tall and straight, and looks about forty years old, while Wen Hui is slightly fat, with a simple and honest face, and he should be over forty years old. Both of them are wearing round collars and wearing tin armor. Quite military.

As soon as Li Jianming entered Yang Guozhu's tent of the Chinese army, he said with a smile: "Oh, I want to make the military gate and the generals wait for a long time, and Li will plead guilty."

Wen Hui also apologized quickly, and the two entered the tent at the same time, walked to the bottom on the right, and sat in front of the empty desk next to Guo Yingxian.

The generals and officials of Xuanfu Town who entered the defense of Gyeonggi this time gathered in the tent of the general army, together with the cavalry generals of various ministries.
