Chapter 399: Confessing the Wrong Person
In terms of age, Guo Ziyi is twice as old as Zhao Ziliang, Guo Ziyi's eldest son Guo Yao is a few years older than Zhao Ziliang, but Guo Ziyi still insists on kneeling and bowing when he sees Zhao Ziliang.
"Come, tea!"
"General Xie!" Guo Ziyi hurriedly bowed her hand, always very polite.
Although Zhao Ziliang doesn't hate Guo Ziyi's character, he can't say he likes it, Guo Ziyi is calm and steady, everything likes to follow the rules, this kind of character is very good in being a minister, but it is not enough to lead the troops to fight, like people who follow the rules, destined to lack flexibility, if fighting head-on, Guo Ziyi is a good hand, but not good at taking risks, if the strength of his own army is stronger than the other party, Guo Ziyi can give full play to this advantage, and there is no difficulty in defeating the enemy army in one fell swoop, But if his own army is weaker than the other party, it will not be easy for Guo Ziyi to win with surprise soldiers, he is not a risk-taking person.
Zhao Ziliang saluted for countless years and asked, "Ziyi is still used to living here, and does he still get along well with his colleagues?" โ
Guo Ziyi saluted again and said: "The general is worried, the last general is living well here, and he gets along well with his colleagues."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said, "What position are you in now?" โ
Guo Ziyi said: "Tian Dashuai values the last general very much, and let the last general be the general of the Jiedu Embassy!" โ
The position of a general is different from high to low, a guerrilla general can be a general, even if he Zhao Ziliang, a Xuanwei general, can also be a general, from this point of view, Tian Renwan still attaches great importance to Guo Ziyi, and keeps him by his side as a cronie.
However, in Zhao Ziliang's view, it is a waste of talent to leave Guo Ziyi in the Jiedu Embassy Mansion as a general, and the general usually has nothing to do, and he has no specific duties, only when Tian Renwan sends an errand, he has something to do.
Isn't that a waste of talent? Zhao Ziliang said: "The marshal does value you very much when he keeps you by his side as a general, but General Ben thinks that it is too much of a waste of talent for you to be a general here, and you will be forty-six after the New Year, right?" โ
Guo Ziyi nodded honestly and said: "Yes, the general actually remembers the age of the last general, and the last general ยทยทยทยทยทยท"
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Ziliang interrupted him: "Okay!" Don't say these useless, after the New Year, you will be forty-six, you are forty-six and just a guerrilla general, this is still transferred to you after the promotion, with your talent, you should be transferred to lead the troops, experience, you have not led the soldiers, this is not good, in the past two years, the general has been in Hexi, Ge Shuhan and Ma Lan have also followed, and now they are already the envoys of the first army, deputy military envoys, and they are all alone leading troops to garrison one side, compared with them, your luck is a little worse, even Bai Xiaode, Fugu Huaien, Wang Sili, Nan Qiyun, Lei Wanchun and they can't compare, you are old, and you have been delayed for two years, you can't wait any longer, what can you do if you waste time and become an old bone? In this way, wait for General Ben to take office first, and then tell the marshal to transfer you to the Datong Army to be the captain of the first battalion, and the captain will do a good job, and then give you other important tasks, if you don't do well, continue to work, what do you think? โ
Zhao Ziliang is Guo Ziyi's martial arts examiner, in the words of the imperial examination, Guo Ziyi is his student, and he is Guo Ziyi's teacher, teacher, it is a great honor for this student to train and promote students, after all, a teacher has too many students, generally speaking, the teacher will only cultivate and promote students who are promising, promising, and know how to respect teachers. You must know that he has been a small county lieutenant since he was sent to Shuofang on the list of martial arts, and he has not moved his nest for two years, and the soldiers he brought are all county soldiers, what kind of soldiers are these soldiers?
At the age of forty-six, he has just been promoted to a guerrilla general, Guo Ziyi is also very depressed in his heart, and the psychological pressure brought to him by this age is also increasing.
Now that this opportunity has come, where does Guo Ziyi not know how to grasp it? The captain of a battalion is the commander of a battalion, and the strength of a battalion can be more or less, as many as thousands, or as few as hundreds, much more than the soldiers he brought when he was a county lieutenant, he immediately stood up and saluted Zhao Ziliang respectfully with a serious expression, and said: "Everything is up to the master!" โ
Zhao Ziliang also saw that Guo Ziyi's tenacity was far beyond ordinary people, so he took special care of him, otherwise if he was not a person with a tough mind, at this age, he was afraid that he would have been decadent enough to stay at home and hold his children and grandchildren for a long time, you must know that his eldest son Guo Yao has a son, he is a grandfather, where do ordinary people still have this fighting spirit to participate in what martial arts? With a tenacity and outstanding military talent that far surpasses ordinary people, he is only a little chance away from soaring into the sky, and this little opportunity is completely affordable for Zhao Ziliang, but it is just a gesture, so why not do it?
Guo Ziyi stayed in Taiyuan temporarily, while Zhao Ziliang stayed in Taiyuan Mansion for two days, and after discussing and talking with Tian Renwan on the affairs of the soldiers and horses in the left wing, he said goodbye to him, and then took his family, Zhang Shouyu and Gao Xiuyan to Yunzhou, the garrison of the Datong Army.
As the left wing soldier and horse envoy, the third in command of the Hedong Army, Zhao Ziliang is in charge of the Datong Army, the Lan Army, and the Yunzhong Guard, and as the Datong Military Envoy, Zhao Ziliang is in charge of the Datong Army and the county soldiers and military and political power of Shuozhou, Yunzhou and Ulzhou, because the Datong Army is different from the Lan Army and other armies in Hedong, the official title of the Datong ****** is the ambassador of the Datong Army, this official title means that he not only has the right to command the military commander, but also has the right to govern the civil administration, so Shuozhou, The military and political power of the three states of Yunzhou and Ulzhou is vested in him alone, and this right is actually much greater than that of Hexi, when he was the governor of Xihai and the governor of Xihai, after all, he has more soldiers and civilians in charge and a larger area.
In addition to the Datong Army, the Lan Army and Yunzhong Guards under the control of Zhao Ziliang, the Left Wing Soldier and Horse Envoy, the Hedong Army also has the Hengye Army under the control of Xiao Jiong, the Hedong Soldier and Horse Envoy and the Right Wing Soldier and Horse Envoy, and the Heavenly Soldiers Army directly under the jurisdiction of Tian Renwan. The Heavenly Soldiers were stationed in the north of Taiyuan and managed 16,000 troops, while the Hengye Army was stationed north of Ulzhou and had 7,800 troops.
When Zhao Ziliang and his entourage arrived in Yunzhou, it was already December 25 of the second year of Tianbao, and the New Year would be celebrated in a few days, but Gu Tongming, the envoy of the Lan army, Pei Lie, the deputy envoy of the Datong army, Wu Tiande, the envoy of Yunzhong, Cui Jinrong, the Taishou of Shuozhou, Ma Sheng, the Taishou of Ulzhou, Wei Bingyan, and the lieutenant of the soldiers of Sanzhou County all rushed to Yunzhou to greet the new boss Zhao Ziliang on this day.
It stands to reason that Zhao Ziliang's office should be located in Taiyuan, and he can communicate and report at any time by Tian Renwan's side, but Zhao Ziliang also serves as the military envoy of Datong, and in order to facilitate the command of the Datong army, he can only set up the administrative office in Yunzhou, which is no different for the officials and generals below.
Early in the morning, the chief general of the two armies, the chief officer of the three states, and the captains of the prefectures and counties all came to meet and wait for Zhao Ziliang and his party outside the city of Yunzhou.
"It's coming, it's coming, look!" Someone shouted.
At this time, everyone came to their senses, and when they looked around, they saw that there were chariots and horses and a large group of people at the end of the road in the distance, and the civil and military officials immediately tidied up their clothes, and the snow on their cloaks and cloaks was shaken off, and some people rubbed their faces again to make themselves sober.
At this time, the officials couldn't stand still, and it was already disrespectful if they didn't go ten miles forward to greet them, and now that they saw people, they didn't come forward to greet them, wouldn't they be waiting to be hated by the new boss? The officials and generals immediately took a big stride and braved the wind and snow to meet Zhao Ziliang and his party on foot.
Zhao Ziliang was in the center, Zhang Shouyu and Gao Xiuyan on horseback, Zhang Shouyu and Gao Xiuyan were on the left and right sides respectively, Brehan and Nuer followed behind the three of them on horseback, and the other soldiers followed in a neat formation, and the carriages and grain and grass materials carried by the family members were at the end.
Among them, Zhang Shouyu is the oldest, he is in his thirties, Gao Xiuyan is also nearly thirty years old, only Zhao Ziliang is the youngest, the officials who came to greet him have only heard of Zhao Ziliang, but they don't know his specific age, almost everyone regards the oldest Zhang Shouyu as Zhao Ziliang, and all the officials and generals bow down to Zhang Shouyu together, shouting: "Welcome General Zhao to Yunzhou."
Zhang Shouyu and Gao Xiuyan were stunned for a while, Zhao Ziliang looked indifferent, Zhang Shouyu turned his head to look at Zhao Ziliang, and saw that he didn't have any special reaction, so he smiled at the person who bowed down in front of him: "Everyone, you have recognized the wrong person, this is General Zhao!" โ
"Ahh The officials and generals were all dumbfounded, and soon you look at me, I look at you, the expressions on your faces are so rich one by one, embarrassment, shock, shame and other expressions change back and forth, it is really too exciting.
I don't know the real Buddha when I meet, and I regard the fake Buddha as the real Buddha, if I were someone else, I am afraid that I would have been angry a long time ago, but Zhao Ziliang has always been indifferent.
Someone finally reacted, "The lower officials and others really deserve to die, please forgive the general!" โ
"I have long heard the voice of the general, and I thought that he was an old man who was over forty years old, but I didn't expect the general to be so young and promising, strong and heroic, and the subordinates are really ashamed!"
Look, look, how many of these people can talk, how much will they resolve embarrassment, and how much will they find themselves under the stairs? Zhao Ziliang smiled indifferently: "Very good, the new boss has come to take office, you subordinates don't even know how old the new boss is and what he looks like, it seems that you don't want General Ben to stay here permanently?" โ
Although these words were light and fluttering, but the lethality was not inferior to the thunder and anger, the civil and military generals heard a sigh in their hearts, secretly screaming that it was not good, and some people immediately said in fear: "The general is angry, we don't like to drill camps in the officialdom with our hearts, no matter who will be our boss, as long as we are diligent and conscientious, this land east of the river will be as stable as Mount Tai!" โ
"Oh?" Zhao Ziliang was a little surprised when he heard this, and then smiled and said: "It seems that General Ben is wrong to blame you, or not, General Ben wants to see if you are really working hard and conscientious all the time, whether you are talking big or fooling General Ben, you will know in the future!" On the left and right sides of this general are Zhang Shouyu and Gao Xiuyan, who will stay by his side for the time being, so let's introduce yourselves first! (To be continued.) )
