After coming to Yao and leaving, Zhao Ziliang asked Zheng San, Wang Can and Chu Ge to call in.

The three of them came into the study and saluted Zhao Ziliang, Zhao Ziliang waved his hand, asked them to sit down, and said: "After the tenth day of the first month of the first month of next year, a certain will leave for Qiuzi Town to meet Lord Gai, and today I will ask you to come alone, because you are the first old man to follow so-and-so, and so-and-so just wants to ask you, do you want to stay and continue to serve here, or go to Chang'an with me, Zheng San, do you want to go back with me to visit relatives?" If you follow me, in case I am left in the capital, or take up other local positions, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to give you a higher or the same level as now, you must think about this clearly! ”

Zheng San hurriedly said: "Brother Liang, we have already agreed that I will always follow you, you can't leave me alone."

Zhao Ziliang nodded, looked at Chu Ge and said: "Chu Ge, in fact, your merits are no less than anyone else's, you have to be my captain of the guard, and also be my housekeeper, and also serve as the duty of conveying military orders and doing things for me, and you have been holding your side, and you have also learned a lot of my military strategies, tactics, methods of arranging troops, etc., your sailors will not be worse than Li Siye and them, if you want to stay, I have two positions for you to choose; First, he served as a cavalry general in the garrison of the Governor's Mansion and promoted to a guerrilla general, with the same rank as Li Siye and others, only one rank lower than Lai Yao, and only under the jurisdiction of Lai Yao. Second, since General Fumeng was promoted to the position of Anxi Duzhi Soldier and Horse Envoy, and wanted to use reliable people, he sent someone to say that there were several vacancies and there was no suitable candidate, if you wanted, I can recommend you to General Fumeng to the post of deputy envoy of the Qiuzi Army, and you will also be promoted to guerrilla general! If you want to continue to follow me, you can do that, but as I said earlier, I can't guarantee that you will be able to get a higher position than you have now."

Chu Ge hurriedly said, "General." I want to keep following you".

Zhao Ziliang shook his head with a smile and said, "Chu Ge, you can't always follow me as a guard captain for the rest of your life, you have learned something from me, you should find a position to play it, and you should use it to make contributions!" ”

Chu Ge said: "But I just want to follow the general." I feel grounded."

Zhao Ziliang said with a smile: "You are not young anymore, you should also go out to do things alone, you can't always follow me, so that you will never have the courage to be alone, in my opinion, this time is an opportunity for you, the deputy envoy of the Qiuzi Army is a good military position, don't look at it as a deputy, but it has the actual right to lead troops." General Fumeng's intention is to let his people sit in this position to contain the disobedient military envoy Mo Rongting, and achieve the goal of slowly controlling the Qiuzi army, if there is a war, there will be no shortage of you, even if there is no war, you can also train the army according to your own ideas, report to General Fumeng more on weekdays, ask for instructions, and move around more. Follow closely with General Fumeng, and you will be safe and sound! You can rest assured. You are out of my side, and General Fumeng will definitely give me a little bit to take care of you."

Chu Ge was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, since the general thinks that I should be appointed as the deputy envoy of the Qiuci Army, then my subordinates will go to Qiuci Town, but if there is still a chance in the future." The subordinates still hope to be able to return to the general's tent to listen to orders."

Zhao Ziliang nodded, looked at Wang Can again, and said, "Wang Can, what about you?" A certain has previously dismissed you from the position of captain of the scout battalion and let Duan Xiushi serve as the captain of the scout battalion. You don't have a position anymore, and if you want to stay, you have two options, to be the cavalry commander of the Governor's garrison, or the commander of the infantry army, you can choose one of them."

Wang Can smiled bitterly: "General, I'd better follow you, I'm used to it!" Moreover, with my character, I don't get along well with other superiors."

Zhao Ziliang thought about it, and then remembered that Wang Can was also in charge of other affairs, and asked: "If you follow me, what about the fine work network you are responsible for?" ”

Wang Can said: "General, in fact, the last general has always wanted to tell you to hand over the fine work network to Chen Langzhong to be responsible, he is much better at doing this kind of thing than me, and I am not the material for the head of the fine work at all."

"Chen Mingqian? He's just a Langzhong, can you take care of the meticulous work scattered all over the Western Regions? Zhao Ziliang asked with a puzzled face.

Wang Can said: "Don't hide it from the general, in fact, Chen Langzhong is in charge of half of the affairs of our fine work network, and most of my energy is focused on the scout camp. And I think that the general and I can rest assured that the general and I can rest assured that the general has the grace to save his life and know him, and although Chen Langzhong's temperament is a little gloomy, he is a loyal martyr, and the general does not need to worry about him betraying at all. After the last general completely handed over the fine network to him, the general arranged a position for him in the Governor's Mansion, and let him be responsible for providing military information to the Governor's Mansion, and the supply of money for the fine network is in our hands, even if the principal of the Metropolitan Mansion replaces him in the future, it will not be able to deprive us of our control over the fine network, and Chen Langzhong can still retreat behind the scenes to master the operation of the fine network! ”

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and agreed: "Okay, since you insist on following me, then follow me, take care of the net, you call Chen Mingqian over at night."

Wang Can promised: "No! ”

The last person to enter the study to see Zhao Ziliang was Feng Changqing, Feng Changqing had been trembling and extremely excited after the meeting ended, sitting in the lobby trembling and extremely excited, waiting for Zhao Ziliang to send someone to call him, and waited for an hour, and after everyone left, he saw a Hu Cong who looked like a Hu man came to call him.

"Lord Feng, the general, please come in!"

"Good!" Feng Changqing hurriedly got up and followed this servant, sped up a few steps to catch up and asked, "This brother, how do you call it?" Where is the general? ”

The servant smiled and said: "A certain name is Bai Xiaode, the general is waiting for adults in the study!" ”

"It turned out to be Brother Bai, I'm sorry for you!"

Bai Xiaode smiled and said, "Lord Feng is too polite! ”

After coming to the study, Bai Xiaode retreated, and Feng Changqing walked into the study with a very respectful expression and saluted Zhao Ziliang: "Changqing is favored by the general and entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and he is terrified!" I have come to listen to the general's teachings."

Zhao Ziliang looked at Feng Changqing, pondered for a moment and asked, "Brother Feng, you have been in the Western Regions since you were a child, how many years have you been?" ”

Feng Changqing didn't know why Zhao Ziliang asked, but still replied: "It's been more than 20 years."

"Where have you been?"

Feng Changqing said: "Before following General Fumeng, there were very few places to belong, but since following General Fumeng, Changqing has gone to more places, basically the four towns of Anxi, Beiting has also been, and even Zhaowu Zhuguo and Tubo have also been."

Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Sure enough, you are well-informed, although you have not followed a certain for a long time, but a certain still found that you are a talented person, at least in the past few months, you have assisted Zheng San to take care of the logistics department in an orderly manner, and there has never been any mistakes, Zheng San is a person from the same village as me, he grew up and grew up, I know him very well, he does not have the ability to deal with such a big stall as the logistics department of the Governor's Mansion, if it is not for you, he can't play." So, there is no doubt about your merits. Zheng San has already decided to go to Chang'an with me, if I have another appointment after meeting the emperor, the logistics affairs of the Governor's Mansion will all fall on you, and I will talk to you more and let you fully preside over the affairs of the Logistics Department. The soldiers and horses in the logistics baggage battalion are all trained by you, the military appearance is strict, the military discipline is strict, and the drills are well-trained, which is very good! I know that Zheng San doesn't have this ability, and only you have it, it seems that you also have a set of skills in military affairs, and you will work hard in the future, if you can come back, you can spare no effort to let you play your talents, if you can't come back, then you can only rely on yourself! ”

Feng Changqing's expression was a little gloomy, but he still bowed his hand to Zhao Ziliang and said, "Thank you general, Changqing will redouble his efforts!" ”

Zhao Ziliang took out a letter from the table and said: "You have risen too fast, your foundation is too shallow, and you have never led soldiers, your prestige is insufficient, I am afraid that someone will not accept you, here is a letter of recommendation written by a certain person, in case you are excluded here and can't do it anymore, you can take this letter to General Gao Xianzhi, I heard that he is about to be transferred to the Dadu Protectorate to become General Fumeng's other general, he owes me a little favor, you take this letter of recommendation to the past, General Gao Xianzhi will definitely take care of you in a certain face, if you gain a firm foothold here." , or this general Jin Jianguo, then this letter of recommendation will not be useful, and there is no need to take it out! ”

Feng Changqing was inexplicably moved, stretched out his trembling hand to take the letter of recommendation, knelt on the ground and made a big salute: "The general is very kind to Chang Qing, Chang Qing has nothing to repay!" ”

"Get up, as long as you are loyal to the king and loyal to the Tang Dynasty, it will be rewarded!"

Feng Changqing left, and Duan Xiushi came again, Zhao Ziliang originally didn't plan to let him come, but after hearing Chu Ge's report that Duan Xiushi asked to see him outside the mansion, he still decided to see him.

Looking at Duan Xiushi, who saluted him, Zhao Ziliang asked, "What is the matter with Cheng Gong coming to see me?" ”

Cheng Gong is Duan Xiushi's word, Duan Xiushi is just twenty years old this year, and he is also a veritable second generation official, and his official positions are not small, but Duan Xiushi does not take the ordinary road, and wants to take the road of military generals, which is different from his ancestors who are all civil officials.

Duan Xiushi replied honestly: "I really want to thank the general for his kindness in knowing and promoting!" ”

Zhao Ziliang was a little surprised: "I let you be locked up for seven days, such a punishment, you don't blame me?" ”

Duan Xiushi hurriedly said: "The general's orders are forbidden, the military discipline is strict, the rewards and punishments are clear, the last general can only admire, there is no resentment, the subordinates know that the general is for the good of his subordinates, if the general really wants to be unfavorable to his subordinates, I am afraid that the heads of his subordinates will have already landed, and they will not only be locked up for seven days."

Zhao Ziliang was quite pleased: "I am very relieved that you can think so!" I'm going to Chang'an in the next year, and if I can't come back, I hope you will pay more attention to the scout camp."

"The subordinates will do their best!" Duan Xiushi said very firmly, his tone changed, and he sighed again: "If the general doesn't return to Broken Leaf City, his subordinates will no longer be able to serve under the general's tent, which is a big pity."

Zhao Ziliang smiled: "It's okay, it's still a long time, even if I don't come back this time, there will be a day to meet in the future." (To be continued.) )
