readx; In order to reassure His Majesty the Emperor, who had just ascended the throne, Zhang Cheng had already withdrawn the Beidi Division, the Guards Battalion, the Flying Tiger Brigade, and the Divine Arrow Battalion from the outside of the city. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He was going to go home, but after thinking about it, he left the city. Before leaving the city, he also bought a large amount of good wine and meat. Pulled directly to the army station. This great victory naturally has to reward the brothers, and he, the leader, naturally has to celebrate with the brothers.

Originally, they had just experienced a big war, and the brothers were very tired, but as the most elite army under Zhang Cheng, they were still sticking to their posts at this moment. Patrolling, sentry, and guarding, all the military brigades are all scrupulous in their duties.

Zhang Cheng and a few people approached the camp for a mile, and a secret sentry came out of the grass, surrounding them, as soon as they saw that it was Zhang Cheng, they immediately straightened their waists, saluted, and said: "I don't know if it's a general, it's rude, please forgive the general." ”

"Forgive what sins? You're just doing your part. Okay, tell the brothers, pack up and go back to camp. From today, there will be a three-day holiday, and everyone will relax and relax. Tonight, we're going to have a drink together. Zhang Cheng said with a smile.

Hearing this, several brothers immediately cheered, holding their weapons and shouting thank you to the general.

Tie Zhu, Zhang Boss, Qi Tian, Yao Han, Feng Jingyu, Long Qiuling and others had already learned that Zhang Cheng had arrived at the barracks, and hurriedly went out of the camp to greet them. Everyone was very happy, especially Boss Zhang, he was a good drinker, he just marched and fought, and had to be restrained, and now that the general gave the order, he was naturally the most happy.

More than 2,000 people of the whole army sat together, and set up piles of bonfires in groups, on which were set up leggs of mutton, and a large open space was exposed in the middle, and several Chinese generals were sitting around.

When everything was ready to stop, the good wine and meat were served on the table, Zhang Cheng poured a glass of wine into his bowl, he took the wine bowl, walked to the center of the open space, raised the wine bowl, and shouted: "My brothers of the Chengzi Army, listen to me!" ”

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, the whole army quieted down, waiting for their generals to speak.

After the whole army quieted down, Zhang Cheng shouted: "In this battle of the capital, nearly 3,000 warriors of our Chengzi army were killed, nearly 400 were killed, and more than 100 were seriously wounded, which can be described as a great loss. They are all the elite warriors of our Chengzi Army, and the victory of this battle is inseparable from them. When we return to Northland, we will take care of their families and let them rest in peace under the spring! At this moment, this bowl of wine is dedicated to our dead warriors! ”

With that, he poured the wine from the bowl on the floor. Two thousand three hundred warriors followed suit, and they took up their bowls and poured them on the ground. At this moment, the entire barracks was filled with an atmosphere of pain.

Immediately, Zhang Cheng picked up another bowl of wine and said again: "Brothers, this bowl of wine." I want to give it to you! Without your desperate protection, it would be impossible for me Zhang Cheng to sit here peacefully. Drink! Zhang Cheng drank all the wine in the bowl.

All the soldiers followed and drank all the wine in the bowl.

Zhang Cheng poured another bowl and shouted: "This bowl of wine, I still want to give it to you!" Without your desperate struggle on the battlefield, I would not have the status I Zhang Cheng has today. Drink! ”

"I still want to give you this bowl of wine! Without your bloody fight, there would be no victory in the capital. Drink! ”

After drinking three bowls in a row, Zhang Cheng felt a little drunk. After drinking the three bowls of wine, he held up the empty bowl and said, "All right! Brothers, tonight is the day of celebration of the victory of my Chengzi army, all the soldiers must drink to the fullest, and they will not return home if they are not drunk! ”

"General Xie!" All the soldiers thanked him.

Then there is the time when everyone is happy, everyone is pushing the cup and changing the lamp, and you come and drink freely. The grief just now also dissipated.

As soon as Zhang Cheng sat down, Boss Zhang took the lead in bringing over a bowl of wine, and he laughed and said: "Come on, general, the last general will give you a bowl!" ”

"Drink!" Zhang Cheng did not refuse to come, and drank as he said.

With those who take the lead, there are naturally those who come to toast. The next one came was Long Qiu Ling, who took the wine and said: "General, you really use your soldiers like a god, lead the army well, and the five bodies that the general admires are thrown to the ground." Come on, come on, the last general will also give you a bowl! ”

"Good! Drink it! Although Zhang Cheng was already a little drunk, he still did not hesitate and made another bowl.

Immediately followed by Qi Tian, Yao Han, Feng Jingyu and others, including Lin Xian and Xiao An, who also came to toast. The two battalion commanders under the Beidi Division also ran to join in the fun, and Zhang Cheng almost didn't stop for a moment. There were also ten lieutenants lined up behind to toast. Zhang Cheng did not refuse to come.

After a long while, Qi Tiancai stood up and said to the brothers that the general had drunk more than a dozen bowls in a row, so let him rest and rest. blocked the wine for Zhang Cheng, so it was counted, otherwise I don't know how many people would come.

Zhang Cheng just sat down, shook his head, ate some mutton, and relieved his spleen and stomach, but at this time, Tie Zhu came up with a bowl of wine. This bowl of wine, Zhang Cheng must drink it no matter what, just because he is his younger brother! Brothers who grew up together! Although they are not brothers, they are better than brothers.

"Brother, my brother also toasts you with a bowl of wine!" Niu Tiezhu smiled innocently and said with wine.

"Good! Brother must drink this bowl of wine! After saying that, he filled himself with a bowl, and the two brothers touched the bowl and drank it all.

After drinking, Zhang Cheng pulled him to sit beside him, pointed to the injury on his left arm and asked, "My brother was injured a little in the fight with Xiaoguo Army this time." Seriously not? ”

Tie Zhu looked at his injuries, scratched his head honestly, and said with a smile: "It's okay." It's just a little injury, it's just a little bit of skin! My brother took me like a brother, and for my brother, I was not afraid! ”

Zhang Cheng patted his shoulders with both hands and said movingly: "Good brother! Then he said: "You are my only brother, and I am Zhang Cheng's closest person in this world. But no matter how critical it is, you must save your life first. If you go to the battlefield in the future, you must be careful. The Guards Battalion has never found a suitable battalion commander, so it's up to you to take command. ”

"Nope! Brother, the personal guard battalion is dedicated to defend you, but when the big battle comes, it is difficult to have the opportunity to charge for your brother! We will definitely have a lot of big battles to fight in the future, and I still have to charge for my brother. Kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions! Tiezhu said.

This sentence made Zhang Cheng feel cordial and gratified.

Just as the two brothers were talking, a sharp shout suddenly came from outside the camp: "The emperor has arrived—"

Hearing the shouts outside the camp, Zhang Cheng looked up, and sure enough, he saw a long fire dragon running towards them outside the camp. Zhang Cheng knew that it must be the Yulin Army guards coming with him, and immediately led all the soldiers to hurriedly step forward to meet him.

"Greetings to the Holy Driver! I don't know that Your Majesty has arrived, and I hope to beg for forgiveness! Zhang Cheng took the lead in kowtowing and said.

The soldiers behind him also shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”

"Let's all get even! I came here tonight to comfort everyone! It's better to be in a hurry than to be in a hurry! It just so happened that I also prepared good wine and meat for everyone to reward. Zhao Jingyu said kindly with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After Zhang Cheng and the others thanked them, they all stood up.

Immediately, under Guo Chunhai's instructions, the eunuch brought a bowl of wine presented in a jade bowl, and Zhao Jingyu held the wine bowl and said: "Soldiers, fill all your wine, I am here, and I also respect you." Thank you for your bloody battles for the birth and death of the imperial court! ”

Everyone served the wine, and after the emperor drank it, the soldiers immediately drank the wine in the bowl.

After drinking this bowl of wine, Zhao Jingyu said to Guo Chunhai: "Announce the edict!" ”

When Guo Chunhai heard this, he stood in front of him with the holy decree in his hand, unfolded the holy decree and shouted: "Zhang Cheng, the general of the Yulin Army, and all the soldiers of Beidi County receive the order!" ”

Everyone fell to their knees.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Zhang Cheng, the general of the Yulin Army, rescued in time, and had meritorious service in quelling the chaos, and now he is enshrined as the uncle of Jizhou; Yao led the Jizhou assassin history, allowed him to lead 30,000 troops, and allowed him to take over the military and political power of Jizhou with the covetousness of the barbarians. ”

"The soldiers under his command dare to die with their lives, desperately defend the imperial court, kill the enemy and have meritorious, and now he is enshrined as the general of Xuanwei under his command Niu Tiezhu; Boss Zhang is the general of Jingyuan; Feng Jingyu is the general of Dingyuan; Longqiu Ling is the general of Shenyu; Qi Tian is the general of Huyuan; Yao Han is the general of Zhaoyuan. The rest of the soldiers are rewarded for their meritorious deeds, and they admire this! ”

"Thank you, Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" All the soldiers bowed down and thanked God.

In fact, Zhang Cheng's official position is mainly given, and as for the rewards of the generals under his command, they are all honors from the fifth grade, which has no substantive significance. All the soldiers below, all those who have merit, have been rewarded with five taels of silver, and some of the meritorious ones have also received a hundred taels of silver.

As for the war dead, they were given a hundred taels of silver, and the seriously wounded were also given fifty taels of silver. All the rewards, Zhao Jingyu brought them together and handed them over to Zhang Cheng.

After getting all this, Zhao Jingyu pulled Zhang Cheng to the main tent, saying that he had to discuss with him. After entering the account, Zhao Jingyuan sat on the head, and Guo Chunhai followed him. Zhang Cheng stood under him and bowed down.

Zhao Jingyu glanced at Zhang Cheng, who was silent, and then said lightly: "I came this time, firstly, to reward meritorious people for meritorious deeds, and secondly, I still want to find you something." ”

"If Your Majesty has any orders, please make it clear." Zhang Cheng respectfully waited for him.

Zhao Jingyu gestured to Guo Chunhai, and Guo Chunhai shouted in his distinctive sharp voice: "Submit it." ”

A little eunuch walked in with dozens of memos, Zhao Jingyu walked down from the first seat, pointed to the dozens of memoranda in the eunuch's hand and said: "In the past two days, Yushitai and Dali Temple have jointly signed a letter to impeach you for abusing your power, wantonly slaughtering, and indiscriminately killing innocents, so that Los Angeles is full of blood and more than one disaster. I trust you, and I have not yet burned these twists and turns in front of you today. ”

As he spoke, Zhao Jingyu took the torch from the guards who walked in, and burned all these twists and turns with one fire. But this incident gave Zhang Cheng a lot of shock. What did you do in the rebellion in the capital, what did your majesty not know? Moreover, Yushi Zhongcheng and Dali Siqing are both former henchmen of King Wuwei, and their words are obviously aimed at themselves. Now His Majesty is using the mouth of Yushitai and Dali Temple to say that he is indiscriminately killing innocents, these unnecessary crimes, what is he doing this for? Did he feel that he was already threatened by something?

From this point of view, then Zhang Cheng thought about it carefully, his foundation in the capital is very shallow, and he only has the authority of the general of the Yulin Army and more than 2,000 people under him, which can barely be regarded as a threat. Yulin Army? It occurred to him that this thing.

Judging from the Su Guards in the capital, after the rebellion in the capital, the Xiaoguo army was crippled, and the first commander, Cheng Shide, was beheaded for his crimes, while the Yulin Army was in his own hands, at least nominally. If he wants to take the opportunity to make trouble at this time, then I am afraid that there will be no one in the capital who can stop him. Thinking of this, Zhang Cheng finally understood. It seems that this is also one of the imperial powers.

Zhang Cheng knelt down and bowed, and shouted: "Thank Your Majesty for your trust, Weichen was entrusted by the first emperor this time, and was ordered to serve as the position of Yulin Army. I hereby ask Your Majesty to resign from the post of General of the Yulin Army, and I am willing to lead all the soldiers under my command to return to Jizhou to defend the land and the people for Your Majesty. ”

Zhao Jingyu hurriedly helped him up, took Zhang Cheng's hand and said sincerely: "Aiqing, what does this mean?" If even you are not qualified for the position of general of the Yulin Army, then I am afraid that no one in the world can be qualified anymore! Aiqing doesn't have to be too humble. ”

Finish! Aiqing doesn't have to be too humble. ”

Come! ”

"Has Aiqing made up her mind?" Zhao Jingyu made a look of embarrassment, quite reluctant.

"Wechen is determined to do so." Zhang Cheng bowed his head again.

Zhao Jingyu sighed, helped Zhang Cheng up, patted his hand and said, "Even so, I won't be reluctant." Turning around, Zhao Jingyu suddenly sighed, he seemed to feel guilty, he thought in his heart: The situation is forced, I am also forced to do so......
