Chapter 85
Let's not talk about character for now, but Zheng Heng is really a fierce player.

He made many military exploits during the Jingnan period, such as the Battle of Daning, the Battle of Zhengcunba, the Battle of Zijingguan, the Battle of Weizhou, the Battle of Baigou River, the Battle of Dongchang, the Battle of Jiahe, the Battle of Gaocheng, etc. He has performed well in several battles.

After the war, Zheng Heng was promoted to the Zuo Dudu of the Central Mansion and named Wu'anhou, with an annual salary of [-] shi. He ranked fifth among the thirteen marquises of Jingnan's meritorious officials.Afterwards, he was appointed as the chief military officer, guarding Xuanfu together with Wang Cong, Marquis of Wucheng, and Li Yuan, Marquis of Anping.

What really caught Zhu Gaoxuan's attention was that Zheng Heng belonged to the Hanwang Party.

Zhu Di cut off the military power of the King of Han, but the King of Han still has contacts and influence in the army. It is impossible for Zhu Di to abandon the heroes of Jing Nan like Zheng Heng for the sake of the King of Han.

And Zhu Gaoxuan's relationship with the King of Han can be called bad.

"It's kind of interesting." Zhu Gaoxuan had a smile on his face, "I want to see if the King of Han is in Jinling, can he use the power in the Xuanfu to trip me up?"

"My lord, this Zheng Heng is not a simple person, it's better to be careful." Chi Rong reminded, "After all, this is on the battlefield, and if he is the general of the town, if he uses some nasty means that can't be seen on the stage, I'm afraid it will be unreasonable." Easy to deal with."

Zhu Gaoyi took a surprised look at the Mongolian man: "Do you have any grudges against that Zheng Heng?"

In fact, there is absolutely no need for Chi Rong to talk to him so much, after all, although the two work together in Fengziying, they are not close friends.Although Zhu Gaoxuan has a high status as a prince, Chi Rong has nothing to curry favor with him.

After all, Chi Rong is a Mongol, not a Ming. His ability to sit in the position of admiral of the [-] Battalion is already the upper limit, and it is difficult to climb up.

This also caused Zhu Gaoxuan to have a dark thought in his heart: Could it be that this seemingly honest Mongolian man wanted to kill someone with a knife?
But in fact, Chi Rong didn't think about it that much at all, he said boldly: "No, I just think that you are very pleasing to the eyes, my lord."

Zhu Gaoxuan froze for a moment, did you like me?

What a reason!
But Zhu Gaoxuan didn't feel that Chi Rong was telling lies, it seems that he judged the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

"In that case, I have to thank you." Zhu Gaoyi said with a smile, "Listen to me, thank you, because of you, four seasons have been warm~"

Chi Rong: "???"

The Mongolian man felt a chill!
……

In front of the gate of the Xuan Mansion, Zheng Heng, the chief military officer bowed his head and kowtowed: "Chen Wu'an Hou Zheng Heng, salute the saint!"

Zhu Di helped Zheng Heng up, and said with relief: "Zhen'an, Aiqing, please stand up. Thank you for your hard work. You have guarded the border for me in this cold and dreary place for so many years."

Zheng Heng replied: "It is the duty of a minister to be loyal to Long Live."

This is probably the standard emperor's polite speech, coming up to inquire about his health, but the courtiers said that it is right to work for the emperor, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

After waiting for a long time, the Northern Expedition Army slowly entered the city.

When Zhu Gaoxuan passed by the main entrance, Zheng Heng glanced casually.

……

In the evening, a bonfire was lit in the camp, and the soldiers gathered around the bonfire, enjoying the fragrant broth.Tomorrow, I will go to the desert. When I get to the hinterland of the desert, no matter how stable the supply line is, it is difficult to ensure smooth delivery. I won’t be unable to eat, but it can only fill my stomach. The current meal is probably the last one. The normal dinner, the soldiers naturally cherish it.

In the emperor's old camp, including the emperor himself, the food eaten by the generals and soldiers was no different from that of ordinary soldiers outside, it was all simple broth.

This is Zhu Di's request. He believes that in the army, we should share weal and woe with soldiers. This is a veteran's usual move to boost morale, which is not uncommon.

For example, Wu Qi, a famous general during the Warring States Period, when he was leading troops in Hexi, regardless of his own status, Wu Qi often lived and lived together with the soldiers. Regardless of nausea, he sucked pus for soldiers himself.

The same is true of Yue Fei, the famous anti-gold general. The Yue family army had strict military discipline at that time, and Yue Fei also advocated rewards and punishments. It is also very high, the whole army has Yue Fei as the core, and only then has the voice of "shaking the mountain is easy, regretting that the Yue family's army is difficult".

Of course, everything has its special features, such as Huo Qubing, the champion of the great man.

Huo Qubing never cared about the corporals. He would have dozens of carts for food and drink every time he went on an expedition, and he would throw them away after they broke down, and he would not distribute them to his subordinates.

What's even more strange is that Huo Qubing never cared whether the supplies could keep up with his troops, and he didn't worry about whether the soldiers would mutiny due to lack of food.If the army is short of food, they will grab it and grab it wherever they go!

While Zhu Gaoxuan was tasting the broth, a person beside him leaned over, bowed his hands and saluted, and said, "I heard that when Prince Qi was in Jiaozhi, he commanded an army of more than [-] troops. Chen Jun was so dizzy, I don't know if it's serious?"

Zhu Gaoxuan glanced at it, it was Zheng Heng, the chief soldier of the Xuan Mansion.

"It's nothing, the battle was fought by my old father-in-law, British Duke, and I just picked up a few cheap ones to show off." Zhu Gaoxuan said flatly.

"My lord is too humble." Zheng Heng laughed, "It is true that the British public is a general, but the last beautiful battle was all commanded by you, my lord. I have read your military newspaper in Jiaozhi. It’s really shocking to heaven and man, and I admire him very much.”

"The Marquis of Wu'an is too famous." Zhu Gaoxuan didn't get carried away by a few flattering words.

Zheng Heng cupped his hands and said: "This time the Northern Expedition is going against Wala, my soldiers and horses in Xuanfu Town will inevitably join forces with the Prince's Fengzi Battalion to defeat the enemy. I hope that you can help me more when the time comes."

"That's natural." Zhu Gaoxuan nodded slightly.

Seeing that King Qi didn't intend to continue the conversation, Zheng Heng didn't continue to put his hot face on his cold butt, and left after saying goodbye.

Chi Rong, who had been eavesdropping on the side all the time, sat next to Zhu Gaoxuan, and asked with some doubts: "My lord, what is the meaning of this Marquis of Wu'an Zheng Heng, why is he talking such nonsense?"

"He didn't talk nonsense, he was just testing my king's attitude." Zhu Gaoxuan said calmly, "It seems that this Zheng Heng is more rational than I thought."

Chi Rong asked puzzledly, "What do you mean?"

"It's true that Zheng Heng is a member of the Hanwang party, and it's true that I have disagreements with the Hanwang, but at present, it seems that Zheng Heng has no intention of becoming an enemy of me." Zhu Gaoxuan said calmly, "This is a smart man, no wonder he I was able to go from a small deputy thousand household to where I am today.”

Chi Rong pondered for a moment, then said: "My lord, can we say something that people can understand?"

Zhu Gaoxuan: "Jie Jie Jie..."

Chi Rong: "?"

What a heinous laugh of a great villain!

This Prince Qi doesn't seem very serious.
