Chapter 21 Deputy Commander of Qingzhou Soldiers and Horses (2-in-1)
In the original timeline, Lin Chong's appearance seemed to be heroic and straightforward, as if he was a fierce general without scheming, but in fact, he was very delicate and could endure humiliation and compromise. This can be seen in his martial arts style.
In Gao Cheng's memory, every time Lin Chong faced against other fierce generals, whether it was the top master or an ordinary second-rate master, Lin Chong always fought with the opponent for dozens of battles, and then when he was sure of victory, he suddenly screamed and stabbed the opponent off the horse.
"Compared with Gang Qi, the explosive power of True Qi is a little insufficient, coupled with Lin Chong's forbearance personality, he looks extremely similar to Zhang Fei, but his fighting style is completely different!
Gao Cheng sensed the aura on Lin Chong's body, and could roughly judge his approximate strength. His current realm is higher than the Luda that Gao Cheng saw in Weizhou City. I have stepped into the door of the fourth order.
"Big brother, the captain really appreciates you, and he actually rewarded you with a treasure knife! It's a pity, it's not the most precious dragon scale sword of the captain, if the eldest brother has an extra magic weapon in his hand, then among the 800,000 forbidden army, no one is the opponent of the big brother!"
The other person beside Lin Chong bent down slightly, half a position behind Lin Chong, and couldn't help but admire.
"Hahahaha, this is all appreciated by Lord Taiwei!" Lin Chong held a long knife in his hand, and laughed, and his tone was sincere and grateful to Gao Yu.
Lin Chong and the other man didn't see Gao Cheng, the two were laughing, saying that they were going to the restaurant to eat.
After Gao Cheng's strength was restored to the third order, his five senses also regained their sharpness, and he heard the voices of the two of them in the distance. The man who talked to Lin Chong was Gao Yu's henchman Yu Hou, Lin Chong's good friend Lu Qian.
"Gao Yu gave Lin Chong a treasure knife? The relationship between Lu Qian and Lin Chong has not broken down...... In this way, Gao Yu has not yet turned his face with Lin Chong! Hehe, after Lu Qian's plan betrays Lin Chong, Gao Yu will use a plan to trick Lin Chong into the White Tiger Festival Hall...... It didn't take long for these two to turn against each other. ”
Gao Cheng made a judgment in his heart in an instant. However, he didn't step forward to pull Lin Chong to solve his problems. For him, only when the other party is in trouble, he can give people the opportunity to subdue Lin Chong in danger.
In the original timeline, even if Lin Chong was assassinated in Cangzhou, he never thought of rebelling and going up the mountain, he had hatred for Gao Yu in his heart, but the hatred was not too strong. Only when Lu Qian burned the forage field in order to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, coupled with the excitement of the destruction of the family, did Lin Chong go to Liangshan on a snowy night in discouragement.
As long as he lends a helping hand before Lin Chong is assassinated and the forage field is burned in Cangzhou, I believe that Lin Chong will never let go of the opportunity to serve the imperial court again.
When Lin Chong and Lu Qian's figures disappeared, Gao Cheng tidied up his clothes, walked to the door of Gaofu, and sent a message of worship: "Zhao Yu, who is in Xiahua Yin Chengjielang, ask to see the captain, and please pass it on!"
As he spoke, Gao Cheng hid ten taels of silver under the prayer post. The housekeeper guarding the door touched the silver, and there was a smile on his originally indifferent face, he glanced at Gao Cheng twice, and said, "Wait a minute, the villain will go and report!"
In the hall of Gaofu, Gao Yu took a cup of tea and touched his lips slightly, thinking of Lin Chong who had just been sent away, a trace of coldness appeared on his face, since this Lin Chong has made a feud with Gaofu and is still possessed of supreme martial arts, then he must find a way to eradicate it as soon as possible.
If you leave it alone, maybe when Lin Chong remembered Gao Yi molesting his mother, once it broke out, he, the captain of the palace marshal's mansion, would bear the brunt.
"Lin Chong, Lin Chong, your ability is really good, but it's a pity that if you are in the prime of life today, even if you are at the top of your martial arts, it will not be of much use, the stronger your strength, the greater the threat to me! For the safety of Captain Ben, you better die!"
Gao Cheng's guess just now was a little wrong, Gao Yanei had already molested Lin Chong's lady, and the two sides already had a dirty relationship. Gao Yu gave Lin Chong a treasure knife to let Lin Chong relax his vigilance. After a while, he will use stratagms to trap Lin Chong to death.
Just when Gao Yu's heart was flooded with murderous intent, a henchman walked in and handed over a letter of worship.
Gao Yu frowned, put the teacup aside, and then opened the salute and swept his gaze, and was slightly stunned. "Huayin Zhao Yu, a little Chengjielang, actually gave such a big gift?
On the prayer post, Gao Cheng stated his identity, and then attached a gift list, which contained a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, worth nearly 5,000 yuan.
During the Xuanhe period of the Great Song Dynasty, the money was enough for ordinary people to live for half a month, and 5,000 yuan was not a small amount. Even if Liang Zhongshu of the Daimyo Mansion sent his father-in-law Cai Jing a birthday gang, he only sent 100,000 yuan.
Gao Yu often accepted bribes from others, but he had never seen the amount of 5,000 guan at a time! After all, he was only a lieutenant in the palace marshal's mansion, and he had the right to command the army but not the right to transfer troops, and he still commanded the Great Song Dynasty forbidden army, which could be called a waste. The power cannot be compared with Cai Jing and Liang Shicheng.
"Invite someone!" Gao Yu put down the prayer post and ordered the next person. Since this Zhao Yu gave such a heavy gift, of course he wanted to meet him. See what the other person is asking for.
Soon, the subordinate led Gao Cheng to the hall.
After Gao Cheng came in, he immediately bowed and said, "Xiaguan Zhao Yu, meet the captain!"
When the next person came to invite Gao Cheng in, Gao Yu had already called his subordinates to inquire about some information about Gao Cheng, some time ago Gao Cheng asked Steward Zhao to come to Tokyo to take the door of Chu Guogong, and was named Chengjielang. Although this matter is not very remarkable, as long as you ask, you can still find out.
"No need to be polite!"
Gao Yu's eyes swept away, and a faint smile appeared on his face, he was originally just a prodigal gangster, but after so many years of being the captain of the palace marshal's mansion, he has been in his position to raise his spirit, and he has long developed a good bearing.
"Zhao Yu, you are also a disciple of the clan, you don't stay in Huayin, and you came to Dongjing and gave such a big gift to Captain Ben, why did you come?" Gao Yu didn't bother much, and asked neatly.
For the sake of his face of 5,000 yuan, he rarely has a good face.
Gao Cheng said with a smile: "Taiwei Mingjian, the subordinate official has no merit but has obtained the official position of Chengjielang, and he feels guilty, so he wants to continue to make meritorious contributions to the imperial court, and he came to visit Taiwei, hoping that Taiwei can give advice!"
Gao Cheng said something vague, but Gao Yu could understand it as soon as he heard it, this was to find him to be sent to the event.
"If you want to serve the imperial court and make meritorious contributions, it's good to have this thought, so do you want to be in Tokyo, or do you want to go to a place? If you want to be in Tokyo in the future, I will promote you to the position of a commander!"
"If you want to go to the place, Captain Ben will send you as a deputy commander of the command department!
Because the identity of "Zhao Yu" is a child of the clan, and he spent 5,000 yuan to move the door, Gao Yu did not make a perfunctory attitude of taking money and not doing things, and directly gave Gao Cheng two choices.
In the military system of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Privy Council was in charge of the military registration and tiger charms, and the Sanya was in charge of the soldiers and horses. Among them, the palace marshal's mansion in charge of Gao Yu, also known as the palace front division, was in charge of the Great Song Dynasty forbidden army. Among the forbidden army, 50 people are teams, two teams are capitals, five are battalions, five battalions are armies, and ten armies are compartments. At the battalion level, commanders and marquis began to be set up.
The commander of the capital mentioned by Gao Yu is actually the officer in charge of a battalion of 500 people. It is regarded as the pinnacle of the low-level official position in the army, and the next step is the soldier and horse envoy in charge of the first army. Soldiers and horses are considered to be medium-class officers, and the dispatch and distribution of this rank is under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council.
His hand wasn't that long yet. It is impossible to go down to the Imperial City of the capital to provoke the Privy Council. The deputy command room of the local command department also belongs to the middle-level officers. But it is not so glaring at the place that it will not cause a backlash from the Privy Council.
Gao Cheng said: "I heard that there are strong thieves in Jeju on Jingdong West Road and Qingzhou on Jingdong East Road, if you can, Xia Guan is willing to go to these two places to exterminate the thieves and share the worries of the imperial court!"
"Jeju, Cheongju?"
When Gao Yu heard these two places, he couldn't help but glance at Gao Cheng, there are 800 miles of Liang Shanbo in Jeju, although there have been no strong thieves yet, but there are endless bandits and thieves. In Qingzhou, there are three robbers who occupy the mountain, namely Peach Blossom Mountain, Erlong Mountain, and Qingfeng Mountain. It's not a place to live in peace.
"Okay! Since you are willing to go to these two places, then Captain Ben will fulfill you, Qingzhou still lacks a deputy commander of the Soldiers and Horses Division, and when it is sent down in a few days, you will go to Qingzhou to take office!"
In the land of the state capital, the Great Song Dynasty has a Terracotta Division in charge of the military of the entire state capital, in which the commander of the Terracotta Division is generally concurrently served by the prefect or the governor, of course, the governor also has to manage the civil affairs, for the army whip commander is out of reach, in the case of the governor does not come forward, Gao Cheng, the deputy commander, is the official of the Terracotta Division.
"Thank you, Captain, for raising up! Thank you!" Gao Cheng hurriedly thanked him.
Gao Yu hummed for a moment, then lifted the teacup. Gao Cheng saw this scene and left with interest.
In Qingzhou, there are several future leaders of Liangshan with names and surnames, among whom Qin Ming, who is known as the Thunderbolt Fire, serves as the commander of the Soldiers and Horses Division. Gao Cheng, the deputy commander, happened to be his immediate boss. In addition to Qin Ming, there are also Hua Rong, who is known as Xiao Li Guang, and Zhen Sanshan Huang Xin.
These are rare talents. After Gao Cheng arrived, these people became his subordinates.
After leaving Gaofu, Gao Cheng immediately set off for Daxiangguo Temple, and now that Lu Zhishen is still here, he wants to go over in advance to make friends, try it, and see if he can pull the other party over.
After a cup of tea, a faint stream of sandalwood came from afar, and there were many pilgrims in front of the temple, and many powerful families from Tokyo came to the temple to burn incense and make vows.
Gao Cheng did not enter through the main entrance, but took a detour and came to the vegetable garden in the corner of Daxiangguo Temple.
Before he could get to the place, he saw Chen Da fighting with a few gangsters with sharp beaks and monkey cheeks. A burly monk and Zhu Wu sat on the stump merchant on the side, drinking and laughing, while pointing at Chen Da and a few gangsters.
The few gangsters who were fighting with Chen Da also had some fists and feet, and they seemed to have learned some Buddhist kung fu, and there was a sign that they were about to practice Gangqi.
"Sure enough, after Luda became a monk in Wutai Mountain, he got the opportunity to break through and became a fourth-order master! And it seems that his potential has not been exhausted, and he is expected to step into the fifth-order realm!"
The monk who drank and talked to Zhu Wu was Lu Zhishen. Compared with before, his strength is even stronger, the Gang Qi contained in his body is incomparable, and it also contains the power of the Bright and Righteous God.
"Brother Lu!"
Gao Cheng walked over quickly, with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "It's really a place in life where we don't meet, I can't imagine that I can meet Brother Lu again in Tokyo!"
Before sending Chen Da and Zhu Wu to Daxiangguo Temple to find Lu Zhishen, Gao Cheng made a good argument with the two, saying that he came to Tokyo to make friends with good men in Tokyo and have a long experience.
Last time, Gao Cheng took Chen Da to Weizhou to visit Luda, and this was the reason, so Lu Zhishen didn't suspect much when he met Chen Da in Daxiangguo Temple. There is only one feeling in my heart that I have met my old acquaintance in a foreign land.
"Brother Xian is not wrong to come to Tokyo this time! Tokyo is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, not long ago the Sprinkle family met a good man, it is the head of the 800,000 forbidden army, known as the head of the leopard Lin Chong, this person's strength is not below me, he is a good man, and when there is a chance, the Sprinkle family will introduce you to it!"
Lu Zhishen laughed and slapped Gao Cheng on the shoulder, showing his closeness.
"We brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, come on, let's drink together!"
At this time, Chen Da punched several gangsters in succession, and then retreated and greeted Gao Cheng. Gao Cheng waved his hand, his eyes falling on a few thugs.
The leaders of these people are Zhang San, nicknamed the street rat, and Li Si, the grass snake. The two worshipped Lu Zhishen as a teacher and learned some Buddhist kung fu.
However, the two did not get the core true inheritance, and they could not condense their qi. can only compete with gangsters, and he is not a real master. The strength of the two is not very good, but the news is very well-informed. There is also some righteousness.
Gao Cheng set his eyes on Lu Zhishen and said with a smile: "Leopard head Lin Chong, when I was in Huayin, I also heard of his reputation, saying that Lin Jiaotou has the courage of ten thousand people, if you can meet such a good man, it will not be in vain for me to come to Tokyo this time!"
At this time, Zhu Wu frowned slightly, and said: "Two brothers, I seem to have heard that there has been a conflict between Lin Jiaotou and Gao Yu's son recently, Gao Yu is the captain of the palace marshal's mansion, if it starts, Lin Jiaotou will be in a lot of trouble!"
Lu Zhi snorted coldly and said: "This Gao Yu and Gao Yanei had better not commit crimes in the hands of the Sprinkle family, if they meet, they must be rewarded with three hundred Zen staffs! Zhang San and Li Si, you wait a while to go out to find out the news, and see what the situation is now, if he doesn't come, the Sprinkle family will go to him to drink, and see who dares to come to find trouble!"
Zhang San and Li Si hurriedly took orders and took a few gangsters to find out the news.
After drinking a jar of wine with Lu Zhishen, Gao Cheng, Zhu Wu and Chen Da said goodbye and left. Return to the inn to rest.
After going back, Gao Cheng told Zhu Wu and Chen Da about the dispatch he had been sent. Zhu Wu's face showed joy, while Chen Da looked shocked.
He didn't expect that Gao Cheng would come to Tokyo for just one day, and he would become the deputy commander of the Soldiers and Horses Division of Qingzhou on Jingdong Road, and he was in charge of the power of the soldiers and horses in a state. In this case, it is as if a grass chicken has become a phoenix. It's incredible.
