Zhao Cheng's answer also seemed a bit bureaucratic, which made people feel uncomfortable. But in view of the fact that he didn't miss a single time for the time being, his prestige was too high, so Bi Shijing didn't dare to say anything more.

Zhao Cheng looked at his face and basically guessed his thoughts.

How can he bring this mind to Yangshan, so Zhao Cheng said again with a very regretful look, "Everyone has difficulties, as I said at the beginning, I am really not an immortal." Don't just listen to good words on some key issues, and don't think that a problem can be solved in one sentence as soon as you encounter it. ”

"The person in charge said that I am very concerned about this issue and will do my best. But let's be honest, there are a lot of things that I don't want to get. So I will not lie to you on this matter, and I will not be able to give you blind faith. That is to say, in the current situation, in the spirit of seeking truth from facts, you and Bai Agarwood must consider taking another corresponding route in an environment where there is no food. ”

Hearing this, Bi Shijing was a little dizzy, "My lord, this seems to be difficult for a strong man." How? Now stationed together, Bai Agarwood and their two thousand old, weak, sick and disabled, come to share the military rations of our two battalions, which is equivalent to a grain shared by five people, and at a time when the clouds of war are shrouded and winter is coming? ”

Zhao Cheng thought for a while and said, "On the premise of seeking truth from facts, this official thinks that the good side of this matter is that it can increase the degree of military-civilian integration." At least let the people of the White Agarwood Department regain their confidence in the disillusionment of the official army. Some things are useless to say with the mouth. Only in the situation of sharing hardships and difficulties can we experience each other. ”

Again, "You believe me in one thing, if you don't lower your posture and value, an army without the support of the people is useless and will not win the war." And now, in the case that we have no other way to go, it has just turned into an opportunity, that is, the opportunity for the integration of your department and the white agarwood department. ”

Bi Shijing was still a little dizzy, "Your Excellency, ...... You don't want to mix the warheads of white agarwood into my command, do you? Our department is a forbidden army, and the military system is a red line, which is in the hands of the former commander of the Sanya Palace, even if Huang Wenbing supports you, you can't touch it. ”

Zhao Cheng said lightly: "Don't touch it." It's not that I want to hand over her department to your commander, in fact, I want to apply the principle of arbitrariness of the general outside, and let your department accept the command of Bai Agarwood. Her image, her authority in Yangshan is unquestionable, so that in addition to you sharing food with them, you can also make them feel the concept of 'family'. Then with the command of Bai Agarwood and the support of those people, you will definitely have a way out, and you will be able to persevere to the end and stick to your mission. ”

Bi Shijing couldn't help but half-open his mouth.

Zhao Cheng stopped him in advance, "If there is any other way, I will not rush to let you fuse." There are more and more mysteries that I can't explain. There is only one point, in fact, I haven't missed it once, assuming you are willing to believe me this time, sincerely accept the command of Bai Agarwood, and carry out fusion, you can win the final war. ”

Bi Shijing was sweating profusely, "But my department is a forbidden army, after all, ......"

Zhao Cheng waved his hand and said, "After all, it's an egg!" I have repeatedly stressed that you will not be ordered, and that the bureaucrats who make the rules and limit you will not allow you to win this war. What will they do? It will restrain you from finding fault with you, so that it can use you to blame you after your defeat, and then appease the anger of the people. ”

"History has never been gentle, that's what it is. General Di Qing fought for the Great Song Dynasty more than 40 times in his life, almost a hundred battles, and the emperor's support, but what was his end? Remember, he was still at the height of his reign. That's history. ”

"If you believe that I am a responsible person, since I have secretly authorized the state of the general, I will definitely be responsible for it. I will win this war, of course, needless to say, winning is justice, and all fires can be extinguished after winning. Even if I am really wrong, I will correct my mistakes in time, and I will shoulder the great responsibility. My duty is to relieve your worries, and your duty is to obey my command and resolutely respect the mission when I am not at fault. This mission is to win the Battle of Chizhou and protect the people of Chizhou. ”

In the end, Zhao Cheng said again, "A simpler and more straightforward explanation is: You go to war, and I will carry the black pot." Isn't that easy? ”

Bi Shijing almost fainted!

But frankly speaking, I'm really used to him, Bai Agarwood is very sure that this scholar is magical, and he always loves serious nonsense. Bai Agarwood's suggestion is: Before proving him wrong, believe him this time, and you will not be disappointed.

At another time, as a general of the Royal Forbidden Army, Bi Shijing would not have done this kind of thing that temporarily obeyed the command of a suspected bandit. The problem is that since these times, after his encounter with him, Bi Shijing has been impressed by this scholar to a certain extent. He Zhao Cheng is indeed a person who can act and dare to take responsibility, such a person is worthy of trust.

From the very beginning, he risked a big taboo to forcibly kill dozens of Dong Ping and get justice for Zhou En, who died unjustly. From this Lingyangshan incident, he went against the conventional mentality of almost resigning and hanging the seal, saved Qin Ming, and carried the black cauldron.

I don't know how the bureaucrats above interpret these things, but at the grassroots level, especially in the hearts of soldiers, Zhao Cheng's actions are undoubtedly extremely positive and almost mythical, to the point where they basically cannot be suspected.

Bi Shijing continued to think: In the Battle of Xishan, more than 100 old, weak, sick and disabled people in the White Agarwood District also fought extremely well and strongly. It can even be said that the Wuwei army that survives now is saved by her white agarwood.

And during this time, it was deployed in Yangshan, and there was a lot of contact with white agarwood. Bi Shijing also learned about her many advantages and respectability, and was no stranger to her, and had some admiration.

"The last general...... Willing to obey the abnormal deployment of the minister, sincerely accept the command of Bai Agarwood. ”

Bi Shijing, who finally figured it out, knelt on the ground with this military salute.

Zhao Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and it can be regarded as solving an old and difficult problem, the shortage of food is indeed very serious at the moment, and Zhao Cheng can't deal with it for the time being. If you change to others, you really have to kneel, but Bai Agarwood carries the system aura of a bunker: the worse the situation becomes, the more her morale cohesion will gradually reach a high decisive battle posture!

It seems like a fantasy to appoint the official army to a female bandit in command, but Zhao Cheng really did it. Relying on the character before this, through the Zhou En incident, through the Qin Ming incident, and the past encounters with them, Bi Shijing finally chose "I believe you this time, and I won't believe you next time".

Otherwise, it's terrible to think about, at the moment when Zhao Cheng can't solve the food contradiction, Bi Shijing once he draws a clear line and does not share military food with Yangshan, and they are hostile to each other, and based on Bai Agarwood's naturally anti-official genes, she and Bi Shijing may not have fought a decisive battle with Wang Xiu, she and Bi Shijing beat each other's dog brains on Huang Wenbing's table, it will be very good-looking, and it will become a joke in the whole world.

Only Zhao Cheng can force Bi Shijing's department to complete this seemingly impossible fusion task.

Only by integrating and relying on the cohesion of white agarwood can we solve the current morale crisis!

After saying this, Bi Shijing, who originally came to ask for food, should go back since she was not invited. The matter of the forbidden army accepting the command of Bai Agarwood will not be just a sentence, there is still a lot of early and late work to be done.

Even if it is not reorganized, it is difficult to persuade the brothers to follow the pace of Bai Agarwood just at this special time.

Before leaving, Bi Shijing asked with a strange expression, "My lord, Bai Agarwood asked the last general to bring you a word, she asked if you would go to the village to visit her in this winter?" ”

Zhao Cheng raised his hand to cover his face, "If I can get a batch of winter supplies as soon as possible, I will send them over." But if I don't have the face to see anyone empty-handed, especially if I want the horse to run for me and don't give the horse grazing, I'll blush. ”

"This ......"

Bi Shijing was a little embarrassed, "So Xianggong, do you want to write a letter?" ”

"Don't write it, just bring her what I said. From now on, your ministry will no longer accept my command, and listen to Bai Agarwood. I will not make any suggestions to the White Agarwood Department for combat, everything is based on her own judgment. Dividing into two fronts and exchanging information and interdependence is the operational program for the next period of time. ”

Zhao Cheng nodded slightly, "Go ahead, don't delay any longer." This time should be more low-key, you can no longer appear in Chizhou. In order to prevent the political situation from changing and trapping your department, you will lose the war. ”

After Bi Shijing solemnly clenched his fists, he left quickly.

Afterwards, Zhao Cheng also hurried to the official residence of Zhu Xiao, the chief bookkeeper, to communicate with him about the grain depot in Guichi County.

This is destined to be an irreconcilable contradiction that sends face to the countryside.

In this hall in winter, Zhu Xiao was wrapped in a tiger skin cloak and looked at Zhao Cheng with a cold attitude for a long time before finally speaking, "Lord Zhao is not busy coordinating the war, it seems that you are very idle, you did not fight with the bandits, and you stay in the city all day to keep warm?" ”

Zhao Cheng didn't come to quarrel, so he didn't say anything about it, waiting for him to continue.

Looking at each other again, Zhu Xiao twisted his beard, "Lord Zhao must have come to the door because of something, didn't he want to interfere in the business of the main bookkeeper?" ”

Zhao Cheng hugged his fists and said, "I know that Master Zhu is capable, and now I urgently need a large number of food supplies, I want to ask Lord Master Zhu for guidance, those families in Chizhou City can provide convenience?" ”

Zhu Xiao snorted, not responding positively, but he was quite proud. The implication is that you are right, they really look at my Zhu family's face and act.

"But I don't know where Lord Zhao wants these food supplies?"

Finally, Zhu Xiao asked a special question.

Zhao Cheng hesitated for a while and did not answer.

Zhu Xiao smiled slightly, "Understood, do you want to supply white agarwood?" A while ago, you said that she was a citizen and not a bandit, anyway, you are ruthless, Dong Ping and those who hold opposing remarks have all been killed by you. So now I don't want to talk to you about these issues. ”

After a pause, Zhu Xiao said expressionlessly: "Don't say which is right or wrong for the time being, someone will talk to you in the future." Now, my official's answer to you is as follows: The soup soup for the people during the special period is indeed a special project, and I have this part of the grain in my warehouse, and you don't have to worry about how much of it. But the premise is that if I want Zhu Xiao to believe that they are the people, then let them demolish the cottage, put down their arms and disband, and gather outside Guichi County like everyone else, then there will be porridge, otherwise there will be none. ”

"Isn't it easy?" Zhu Xiao finally said.

Zhao Cheng was not in a hurry to get angry, and blinked his eyes and said, "The battle of Xishan has proved their usefulness, if they are disbanded, how can this war be resolved?" ”

Zhu Xiao took a sip of the precious tea, and said casually: "I'm just a small master, the war is your Lord Zhao's problem, not my problem." Don't confuse the public, it's a nice and objective answer. The ugly version is: She has the credit for the Battle of Xishan, it's just you who say it, and those in the know, such as Dong Ping, were killed by you, and the rest are all your people. So where did the truth come from? And who cares about the truth? ”

Zhao Cheng smiled slightly, "Since there is no truth, since you don't care about the truth, it's simpler, become a king and lose a villain, I and Bai Agarwood won, we are righteous, aren't we?" ”

Zhu Xiao patted his leg and laughed, "That's right." But since this is turned back, this war is your problem, not my Zhu Xiao's, no matter whether you have merit or difficulty, you can carry it yourself, don't come to transfer the problem to me. ”

also said that Zhao Cheng, who has always had an explosive temper and a desire for revenge, was about to make trouble, but what surprised Zhu Xiao was that Zhao Cheng didn't say a word, and left without expressing his joy and anger.

"Strange...... He was not fooled, Wang Hao's judgment of him seemed to be becoming more and more inaccurate, what was he doing? ”

Zhu Xiao twisted his beard and muttered to himself......
