After Huang Wenbing left the state government venue, he hurriedly returned to his temporary government office.

An entourage reported: "My lord, General Dong has returned to the city and asked to see you, and General Qin Mingqin is also anxious to see you." ”

"Summons Zhao Cheng immediately, no one else will be seen except Lao Tzu!"

Huang Wenbing waved his hand when he demolished the bridge without crossing the river.

Not long after, Zhao Cheng came in, but he didn't have time to tidy himself up, he was covered in mud, and the smell of the trenches was very strong, "Xiaguan Zhao Cheng, I have seen the general judgment and the ......"

"Don't waste time."

Huang Wenbing waved his hand impatiently, and said word by word, "Zhao Cheng, tell this official honestly, what is going on in the battle of Xishan?" ”

Zhao Cheng said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "The public is clear, Zhao Cheng who should say it has said in the meeting, and he does not dare to hide such issues." In the future, even when it comes to the middle hall, the rhetoric will not be changed. ”

At this point, Huang Wenbing's forehead was sweating.

I feel a little shaky in my calves, as this is likely to form a political storm. Who cares about the truth, I will never care about it in this life.

But if Zhao Cheng doesn't change his rhetoric, according to the urine nature and environment of the Great Song Dynasty, when he pulls calves in the middle hall in the future, of course people will believe the scholar's rhetoric, and they will not believe Dong Ping's old army. And Zhao Cheng is a member of the Cai family, and now the Cai family is in power.

In addition, this kid now has such a big public support. Zhang Ji? added oil and vinegar to support Zhao Cheng, and Nima was surnamed Zhao with the emperor. With the urine of the happy faint king, in this incident, even the gods can't beat Zhao Cheng.

The pill is that if Zhao Cheng doesn't change his rhetoric, he really has to conclude the serious mistake of Wuwei Army. For this reason, Huang Wenbing will not die, and he can also throw the blame to Dong Ping's back to a certain extent. However, since a real mistake has occurred, it is basically inevitable to change local officials or even demote them.

Maybe there is a little bit of salvation, that is, now that I already know that Zhao Cheng is brave, resourceful and cohesive, I rely on fighting to win the Battle of Chizhou!

Because of this, because although Cai You supported Zhao Cheng but did not care about the inside story of the Battle of Xishan, in the meeting just now, Cai You and Huang Wenbin temporarily maintained stability after communication, and did not conclude the issue of Wuwei Army, but only preached Zhao Cheng's loyalty and bravery.

But this matter still needs Zhao Cheng's cooperation to be remedied. The calf is now a cow, and no one can persecute him if he does not want to.

"Zhao Cheng, ah......"

Huang Wenbing twisted his short beard a little embarrassed, "Although there are some mistakes in Wuwei Army, he is also raised by life." Those sergeants are human beings, and the mistakes that should have happened are irreparable. This official thinks that for the best thing at the moment, there is no need to dwell on the defeat of the Wuwei army, don't talk about Dong Ping's problem, just focus on defeating Wang Xiu in the end. In order not to cause too much impact, this official believes that Dong Ping's problem is that the thieves in the Xishan Battle are too strong, and the poor people, militia, and forbidden army fought back Wang Xiu after cooperating, but the overall damage is extremely serious, you see that this is good, and it will also save the face of many people. ”

Zhao Cheng's attitude was soft but stubborn, and he shook his head slightly, "Because I was raised by my parents, six hundred people died in the Battle of Xishan. This means that thousands of women have become widows, more than 1,000 old people have lost their sons, and more than 1,000 children have lost their fathers! ”

Speaking of which, although Huang Wenbing frowned, Zhao Cheng gradually raised his voice, "It's strange to Xia Guan, how many people have to derelict their duties, how many corpses need to be vegetarian, and how many error factors need to resonate to cause the six hundred officers and soldiers to be brutally killed by the murderers in Xishan?" ”

The louder it gets, the louder it gets, "It's so simple that it's easy to shoot." But if this problem is not straightened out, those who should pay the price do not pay, and if there is no criticism, then the lower officials will assert that they will not win the Chizhou Campaign. The subordinate refused to command such a team to fight, and asked the lord to ask for another master. ”

"You ......"

Huang Wenbing's eyes were a little black, "Don't be emotionally high and low, don't threaten to resign at every turn, this official is so easy to resign, and the responsibility is so easy to shirk?" Now Chizhou is in a state of war, and it's really not like you can let go if you want to. ”

"It's really hard to shirk responsibility, so ...... Do you want to care about the inside story of the Battle of Xishan? ”

Zhao Cheng said with a strange expression, "If you don't care, then I really don't care about the Battle of Chizhou." ”

Huang Wenbing took a deep breath, a little chill ran down his spine, and hesitated, "You are a ...... The ruthless and retributive character, do you know this? ”

Zhao Cheng nodded slightly.

Huang Wenbing sighed, sat down a little weakly, and said: "It seems that I can provoke you so angry, the inside story of the Battle of Xishan must be very cruel, for this reason, with your character, is it unwilling not to put Dong Ping to his knees and beg for mercy?" ”

Zhao Cheng hesitated for a moment, and then thought of Zhou En, who had disappeared...... I don't know the inside story for the time being, so I won't talk about it. But it was just Dong Ping's mallet, which ruined the fireworks reminder opportunity that Zhao Chengbu sacrificed ten people in exchange for, and ruined so many people......

Thinking about it, Zhao Cheng nodded with a strange expression, "Maybe the lower officials have some thoughts about Dong Ping, but if you don't straighten out these problems, you really can't fight in the future." ”

"You're endless......"

Lao Huang felt that this bastard was completely close to a robber, and it was hard to imagine that he would blackmail Shangguan so badly.

"You're not going to kill him, are you?"

Huang Wenbing had no way to deal with him, but he was a little worried.

Zhao Cheng shook his head and said, "I won't kill him." I just want to point out the mistakes and deter the morale of the military by handling and criticizing them, so as to avoid a state of going their own way in the army in the future. ”

"It's strange to believe you...... But if you don't believe it, there's no good way to do it, this time you won, go ahead. I hope you don't make a mess of Chizhou even more. ”

Huang Wenbing waved his hand a little weakly and acquiesced, which was equivalent to stripping Dong Ping's political armor.

"Resignation."

Zhao Cheng walked quickly away from Huang Wenbing's place.

Before he came out of the door of this temporary residence, Zhao Cheng saw Tan Xiaolan holding a little boy who was about six years old.

"Daddy...... What about my father, where did you hide my father? ”

The little boy asked while playing with a rattle, which made Zhao Cheng half-open his mouth.

Zhao Cheng knew this child, and he often played soy sauce in the county government, and he was Zhou En's son. His mother had already eloped with the wild man. Of course, this happened before Zhou En became a civil servant.

Later, the mud-legged guy Zhou En was recruited by Zhao Cheng and became a tolerance, and there was a dormitory in the county government, and the children were usually placed in the county government compound to play if no one took care of them.

Although Tan Xiaolan is a demon girl, she likes children even if she has no children, she has been hanging out in the county government all day after occupying Zhao Cheng's dormitory, so she is more familiar with this child. So when the child was crying to find his father, Tan Xiaolan pretended to be forced and said, "Wrap it up on me, I know the county lieutenant for a long time, I know his strengths and weaknesses, and he also knows my depth." I asked about it.

That's how it all began.

Very helpless, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, there was no father in the list of ten people who died in the team earlier, and then he was singing praises everywhere and saying that Zhao Cheng had a great victory with zero casualties, so Tan Xiaolan was full of confidence and planned to make the child happy and come to find it.

But now seeing Zhao Cheng's more peculiar look, Tan Xiaolan knew that she was afraid that she would be in trouble.

"Daddy...... The fathers of the other children have returned, why hasn't my father come back yet? The child asked with tears in his eyes.

Zhao Chengcheng didn't know how to answer.

Tan Xiaolan hurriedly hugged the child and planned to go back, "Don't look for it, I'll come when it's time to come, go to Beimenfang, and my sister will buy candy for you." ”

"Don't want sugar man, I want daddy ......"

The child burst into tears.

Zhao Cheng hesitated and said, "Come back." ”

So Tan Xiaolan took the child back again.

Zhao Cheng took a deep breath, squatted down and touched his skull, "Your father, he...... Maybe I won't be able to come back, I'm not sure, but there's a high probability that it won't come back. ”

"Daddy...... Where's Daddy! ”

The child asked, crying.

Zhao Chengtie blushed and shook his head slightly, "I don't know where I went, but if I want to see people alive and die, I will find his people or corpses back." ”

He said to Tan Xiaolan again: "Take him back and take care of him, you can't run around." If this child is lost, I will look for you. ”

After explaining, Zhao Cheng took people away.

Turning the corner of the street, after a few hesitations and stopped, Zhao Cheng approached a poor person beside him and whispered, "Go to Xishan immediately, carefully check the battlefield that is being cleaned up, no matter how you want to find Zhou En's body." It is necessary to be cautious and attentive and not to be harassed by anyone. If anyone dares to collect money, cover up, conceal it, and mud in this matter, I will never be merciless in killing people. ”

The henchman left quickly.

Now it is Qin Ming's army cleaning up the battlefield, and as for the defeated Wuwei army, after the new military meeting, it has withdrawn Xishangang and deployed near Yongfeng Prison according to Zhao Cheng's plan, waiting for instructions for the time being.

In addition, the general Dong Ping, the deputy general Fang Zhong, and several chief and deputy commanders have already left the barracks and summoned to Jinzhou City to report on their work.

The debriefing is an honor, in fact, these people are now feared by everyone, and even Huang Wenbing looks like he doesn't want to contaminate them. There was no debriefing at all. None of the officials wanted to hear from them.

Zhao Cheng's intention in transferring these major officers and summoning them into the state city was to prevent changes.

The defeat of an army in this way is theoretically unusable for the time being. At this time, they are depressed and will find various reasons, it is okay if they don't have a Shangguan, but if they have a Shangguan, they are easy to encourage each other, spread negative emotions to each other, and give birth to moths.

After Shangguan was transferred, ordinary petty officers and big-headed soldiers didn't have much to think about after all, and it was not their turn to carry responsibilities. They don't know the real situation, they don't know what their "boss" is thinking and doing, so it is relatively easy to make trouble, on the contrary, it is easy to slowly heal the wounds of defeat in a low-key manner.

Regarding Zhou En's matter, Zhao Cheng always felt that it was wrong, Dong Ping's attitude was too abnormal at that time.

So now that the little boy is looking for his father, Zhao Cheng thought about it for a while and changed his original intention, and whispered to another messenger: "Bring more people, take my official document to see Liu Qishan, and immediately arrest the senior officers who control the Wuwei Army to enter the city to report on their work, and no one will be missed." Don't leak the news and hold it in secret. ”

"Ah......h

The messenger hesitated, "Your Excellency...... If you really do this, now is the time to employ people, although they have lost the battle, but it is easy to say that we are persecuting wounds and sprinkling salt or something. ”

"If you want to go, you will go, hesitate, it is a state of war now, what kind of."

Zhao Cheng said coldly, "If you want to fight with me in public opinion and politics, they are not worthy, even if it is really persecution, so what." They all think I'm good at fighting, right, but in fact, they are wrong, compared to brainwashing people to blackmail and stab black knives, military is my shortcoming! If this matter is really boring, I want them to regret being a man! ”

"Well, yes, yes, the adults will calm their anger first, and they will be arrested and locked up, and it doesn't matter if they are wrong."

That's all the time I've sent someone to do something......
