Zheng Fei naturally knew that with Hua Rong's ability, it would not be an exaggeration to directly give Hua Rong a military commander to lead twenty or thirty thousand troops, but Zheng Fei couldn't do that, because Hua Rong had just joined the gang and had not made an inch, and he was only a small officer before joining the gang, at best, he was an ordinary battalion commander of the Tiandao Army, with only three or four hundred people under his hands, if it was okay when the army was only two or three thousand before the Liangshan uprising, and now the Tiandao Army has hundreds of thousands of troops, this capital is not worth mentioning at all, so if you entrust Hua Rong with a heavy task now, I am afraid that others will not be convinced,

Zheng Fei thought about it and said, "Hua Rong! ”

Hua Rong was also waiting for this moment, and immediately got up and hugged his fists, "Here!" ”

Zheng Fei said, "Just now, the military advisor has said that my Heavenly Dao Army pays attention to fairness everywhere, and when you first joined the army, I can't appoint you as an important position for the time being, I hope you can understand." ”

Everyone was surprised when they heard it, this time the commander personally led the army to greet Song Jiang and Hua Rong, most people thought that the commander was going to welcome Song Jiang, but looking at it now, why does it seem to pay more attention to Hua Rong?

Hua Rong then replied, "Commander, please rest assured, even if you start as a small soldier, Hua Rong will not have half a word of complaint!" Hua Rong was not disgusted by the system of the Heavenly Dao Army, but appreciated this very fair competition and promotion system. People with real skills are never afraid of competition, only afraid of unfairness, Hua Rong has lived in the court officialdom for a long time, but he has a deep understanding of this, just like a few years ago, he led the troops to exterminate the Qingfeng Mountain Bandits, and he should have been promoted, but the credit was taken up by Liu Gao, although the angry Hua Rong gritted his teeth but was helpless! Now that he is facing the fair system of the Heavenly Dao Army, Hua Rong has a feeling of flying dragons ascending to heaven and dragons entering the sea, and he has secretly made up his mind to do a big job!

And...... Even he still thought that it was Song Jiang who the commander personally led the army to greet him, not himself, but Zheng Fei was about to give him a big surprise ......!

"Good!" Zheng Fei nodded with satisfaction and continued, "Then I will appoint you as the head of the regiment, plus your old subordinates, a total of more than 800 soldiers." After you make more military achievements, I will promote you to be a brigade commander, and you can lead more than 2,000 soldiers! From now on, I will dare to promote you as much as you have in battle, even if you lead an army of tens of thousands of people! ”

Hua Rong was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he was overjoyed, and immediately clenched his fists and said loudly, "Hua Rong, thank you Commander!" ”

Zheng Fei continued, "Now I will give you three choices, one is to go to Yunzhou, the hinterland of Jingxi Road, to sit in battle, and first train all the soldiers you bring. One is to follow me and serve as a personal guard. Then it is to go to the border to garrison and defend against the attack of the officers and soldiers. Which one do you want to choose? ”

As soon as they heard this, everyone, including Wu Yong and Song Jiang, looked at Hua Rong with surprised eyes, and now as long as they were not stupid, they could see how much the commander attached importance to Hua Rong! Although Song Jiang and Hua Rong were appointed to the same level in terms of military rank, Song Jiang had only one choice, and he only went to an unimportant small county to serve as a county commander, far away from the power center of the Heavenly Dao Army. But Hua Rong has three choices, the first and second of which are to stay by Zheng Fei's side, not only have more opportunities to be promoted than Song Jiang, but also have been promised to be promoted by the commander in the future............ The commander mobilized the army to meet this Hua Rong this time?

Now it depends on how Hua Rong will choose, everyone secretly thinks, this first choice is the safest and most secure, and the second is the most reasonable opportunity to get promoted in a short period of time, both of which are the best choices, as for the third option, the most dangerous responsibility is also the greatest, if there is a slight mistake, it is not said that it is a meritorious service, maybe it will be punished, Hua Rong will definitely not choose,

But Hua Rong didn't think about it, so he said, "I am willing to lead the troops to the border, with me, even thousands of troops and horses will not want to cross my station!" As for training, it's the same with training at the station, begging the commander to send me to the most dangerous place! ”

As soon as they heard this, Chao Gai and the others' eyes lit up, and they secretly praised this Hua Rong as a man!

Zheng Fei knew that Hua Rong would definitely choose this, and smiled with satisfaction, "Okay!" Then you go to Yanggu County, Yanggu County is further west of the Daimyo's Mansion, where the imperial court has gathered tens of thousands of forbidden forces, if there is a war, it will be the first battlefield! ”

Hua Rong was stunned, he looked at Zheng Fei blankly and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Commander, Hua Rong has just surrendered to ......, isn't the commander afraid that Hua Rong will return to the Great Song Dynasty?" If you bring thousands of men and horses and surrender with important towns, Hua Rong will not only not be punished on the side of the imperial court, but may even be able to increase the official ranks! ”

"Hahaha......!" Zheng Fei laughed, "I have always been suspicious of people, and I am not suspicious of people!" I regard General Hua as a treasure, and if General Hua wants to treat me like a mustard, I can discard it at will. ”

Hua Rong can no longer use words to describe the excitement and emotion in his heart at this moment, and he straightened his chest and clenched his fists and said, "Thank you for your trust!" Hua Rong swore to the sky that if he dared to betray the commander, there would be no place to die! ”

Song Jiang sat on the seat and looked at Hua Rong's back, and somehow, he suddenly felt a sense of loss in his heart, as if he had lost something.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Soon after the meeting, in order to make Hua Rong and Song Jiang familiar with everything about the Heavenly Dao Army as soon as possible, according to the usual practice, the two of them first went to Liangshanbo and entered Liangshan Academy for further study.

Song Jiang said that although the main study of the Heavenly Dao military affairs and regulations is somewhat different from that of the imperial court, it is not difficult to master.

But for Hua Rong, everything in the military aspects of the Tiandao Army, including various military systems and training methods, was full of incomparable freshness and surprise to him, and he also understood in his heart that it was no wonder that he heard that the "Liangshan Bandits" would die when they started a war, with such a perfect security system, the soldiers would not have any worries, and they would naturally be brave when they went into battle!

Half a month later, at the end of the study, Hua Rong and Song Jiang said goodbye to each other under Liangshanbo, and after cherishing it, they went to their respective jurisdictions to take up their posts.

Let's say that Hua Rong led the troops to Yanggu County, and after Hua Xiaoyu and the others were settled, Hua Rong immediately began to train the troops in accordance with the training methods of the Tiandao Army, combined with his years of experience in leading troops, and at the same time sent people to vigorously repair the city defense and strengthen the armament, everything was going on in an orderly manner.

Another month passed, Zheng Fei suddenly arrived in Yanggu County without giving Hua Rong any notice, and the soldiers on duty were shocked when they saw the commander coming, and they were about to inform Hua Rong in a hurry, but they were stopped by Zheng Fei, and at the same time Zheng Fei also ordered that the news of his arrival should not be disclosed to the people, and then Zheng Fei asked the guards to wait outside the city, and only brought Li Sigen and other more than a dozen personal guards led into the city by a sergeant on duty,

Zheng Fei took a turn under the city and in the city, only to see that in just one month, the appearance of Yanggu County has changed dramatically from when he led his troops to capture this place a few months ago, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the city wall has been repaired and reinforced, and the military defense in the city is also very complete and orderly, and it has initially had the appearance of a major town.

Zheng Fei was very satisfied, and went to Hua Rong's mansion again, but Hua Rong was not at home, only Hua Xiaoyu was seen,

Hua Xiaoyu was also shocked by Zheng Fei's sudden arrival, and hurriedly greeted Zheng Fei, and at the same time peeked at Zheng Fei's side but did not see Pang Wanchun's figure, and the disappointment on her pretty face was very obvious.

Zheng Fei looked at the joy in his heart and asked her, "What about your eldest brother?" ”

Hua Xiaoyu replied respectfully, "Back to the commander, the eldest brother is in the barracks." After speaking, remembering the scene when he was embarrassed as the commander two years ago, Hua Xiaoyu's face couldn't help but blush,

Zheng Fei smiled, "You don't need to be called the commander, just call Brother Zheng in the future, we can already know each other, and Wan Chun and I are also brothers." ”

Hua Xiaoyu was so ashamed when she heard this that her ears were red, and she couldn't say a word when she lowered her head.

The inexplicable taste in Zheng Fei's smile deepened, and he looked up at Tiandao, "When will your eldest brother come back?" ”

Hua Xiaoyu still didn't dare to raise her head, and whispered, "I haven't seen my eldest brother for three days, my eldest brother is in the barracks every day, eating and living there, and he only comes back once every four or five days to change his clothes...... I'll send someone to call my eldest brother. ”

Zheng Fei stood up, "No, I have to go to the barracks to have a look." ”

Hua Xiaoyu hurriedly raised her head and got up and said, "I'll accompany you." ”

Zheng Fei smiled and waved his hand, "You don't have to go, it's inconvenient for you to go." ”

Hua Xiaoyu was stunned, "No...... Inconvenience? ”

Zheng Fei smiled mysteriously, didn't answer her, and then turned around and walked out of the house.

Hua Xiaoyu looked at Zheng Fei's back in a daze, and her heart suddenly jumped up and ...... for some reason.
