When Zhu Youzhen struggled in the stacks of books, his edict accompanied the fast horse all the way to Jinzhou.

Cao Wenzhao was a guerrilla general in command of the guerrilla battalion, and he also had five or six hundred brothers under his command.

His face was slightly red, the bridge of his nose was high, and there was a fierceness between his eyebrows. He is Chinese New Year's Eve four years old today, comes from a humble background, and has not read much. To get to this day, it depends on combat courage and good martial arts. Of course, the brain must be indispensable, otherwise we wouldn't be able to live today.

His dream is to one day be able to defeat Jiannu, and if he is lucky, he will be promoted to two levels, although he knows that it will be difficult.

On this day, Cao Wenzhao was patrolling the city as before, and suddenly heard the sound of shouting behind him.

"General Cao! General Cao! ”

Looking back, it was Liu Damao, a personal soldier of the general soldier Zhao Rate, who was running towards him with a happy face. immediately stopped, arched his hand at Liu Damao, and said:

"Brother Liu? But what's the matter? ”

"General Cao! The general soldier asked you to get the order. ”

"Order? What purpose? Cao Wenzhao said in surprise.

"I don't know, but it's supposed to be a good thing! I heard laughter in the barracks' house before I came. ”

"Okay! Let's go! ”

After that, he ran to the General Soldier's Mansion with Liu Damao.

When he arrived outside the door, Liu Damao went first to pass the word, and after a while, he informed him to let him in.

As soon as Cao Wenzhao entered the house, he saw the chief soldier Zhao Shujiao and the eunuch Ji Yong talking with a white-faced and beardless eunuch. Zhao Shujiao saw Cao Wenzhao come in, and hurriedly greeted:

"Wen Zhao, come quickly. I've seen Grandpa Zhang. ”

Zhang's father-in-law's name is Zhang Ju, and he is a eunuch under Wang Chengen. This time, he was instructed by His Majesty to come over in person to issue the decree, and knowing that His Majesty attached great importance to Cao Wenzhao, he naturally did not dare to hold it up. Hearing this, he hurriedly stood up, supported Cao Wenzhao, who was bowing down, and said with a smile:

"General Cao, don't be polite. Take it! ”

Cao Wenzhao tidied up his clothes, knelt on the ground, and waited for Zhang Ju to read the holy decree.

"Fengtian carries the emperor, and he says......

Promoted to Jinzhou guerrilla Cao Wenzhao as the chief military officer, the town of Datong. Get on the job now!

Chin this"

Cao Wenzhao's brain buzzed, the front was fine, but when he got to the back, he heard four words:

Chief Officer! Datong? I'm the chief soldier of Datong?

Even Zhao Shujiao, who was kneeling on the ground, was stunned. Just now Zhang Ju just said that Cao Wenzhao would be promoted, but he didn't expect a triple jump directly! Then I began to think about whether there was anything wrong with me in the past. Come to think of it, I seem to treat him well? Isn't this guerrilla also promoted by himself? Zhao Shujiao breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to be happy again. His own soldiers are honored!

Zhang Ju saw that Cao Wenzhao was stunned and didn't react, and reminded in a low voice:

"Chief Cao Bing, do you have the order?"

Cao Wenzhao reacted at this time, hurriedly kowtowed, shouted long live, and took the holy decree in Zhang Ju's hand.

Immediately, he was helped up by the people around him, and the atmosphere suddenly eased. The room was filled with good-natured laughter.

Zhao Shujiao patted Cao Wenzhao's shoulder suddenly, and said with envy:

"Wen Zhao, you are now developed. Don't forget my brother in the future. ”

"Thanks to the support of the general soldiers, the general soldiers' kindness and edict dare not be forgotten."

"From our family's point of view, the most important thing to thank is our saint." It was Ji Yong, the eunuch of the prison army, who spoke, and arched his hand in the direction of the capital after speaking.

The crowd said yes.

"Chief Cao, Your Majesty ordered you to go to work as soon as possible, don't delay." Zhang Ju instructed, said goodbye to everyone and left Jinzhou City. Of course, when I went back, I must have had more things on me than when I came.

Everyone held an extremely grand farewell ceremony for Cao Wenzhao, and after lunch, Cao Wenzhao did not dare to delay any longer, and took more than a dozen of his soldiers out of Jinzhou City.

"Cao Wenzhao is going to soar this time."

Zhao Shujiao, who was standing on the city wall and watching him go away, sighed.

Jinzhou is more than 1,000 miles away from Datong, Cao Wenzhao and others are hurrying, except for resting at the post stations along the way, there is no stop on the road. In this way, the journey took nine days.

On the tenth day, looking at the Datong Mansion City that had already appeared in sight, Cao Wenzhao slowed down his horse's speed. I took out the water bag and took a sip of water.

He looked back at the seventeen pro-soldiers behind him, all of them were good brothers who had followed him from birth to death over the years, and all of them were good hands.

"Dismount and trim on the spot for a quarter of an hour."

After speaking, he touched his chest with his hand.

There, there was a secret edict.

An hour later, at the gates of the city. Cao Wenzhao and his entourage are under interrogation.

After verifying that all the formalities were correct, the sergeant guarding the gate released Cao Wenzhao into the city. In less than a moment, the news of the arrival of the new chief soldier reached Qu Jiazhen's ears.

Qu Jiazhen, who was drinking with a military prostitute in his arms, was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly rode a horse to find Zhang Yiming.

"What can I do?"

Zhang Yiming frowned in disgust, what a straw bag, he was shocked when he encountered a little wind and grass.

"Chief Qu, this matter depends on whether the imperial court has other arrangements for you after the new chief soldier arrives, if so, I don't think it's a big problem. If not, then prepare early. ”

Qu Jiazhen returned to his mansion in a nervous mood, waiting for the arrival of the new chief soldier. But if you wait late, you just don't see anyone.

This matter has been strange from beginning to end, he is also the chief soldier of a town, and the court quietly replaced himself, which is not in line with common sense.

"Sun Er, you quickly go to the governor's mansion and invite the governor to discuss the matter!"

Qu Jiazhen commanded his own soldiers.

Cao Wenzhao came all the way to Wang Xiangqian's mansion and met Wang Xiangqian.

"Your subordinates meet the Governor."

Zhu Youzhen had already informed him of the appointment of Cao Wenzhao as the chief soldier, and Wang Xiangqian could not help but be a little curious. The general soldier in front of him is a little too young. However, it seems to have a formidable killing aura, which is rare at his age.

"Mr. Cao, I've worked hard all the way." After a pause, he said, "This time, is there a secret decree of His Majesty?" ”

"Yes!"

Cao Wenzhao nodded.

"Good. The old man will accompany you on a trip! ”

"Your Excellency, is there something wrong with your age?"

"Haha. Wen Zhao, don't underestimate the old man. ”

As he spoke, he ordered someone to prepare a sedan chair and walked out.

Cao Wenzhao knew that this trip was bound to be a little dangerous, and he was unwilling to let Wang Xiangqian risk his life, but he did not expect this elderly governor to be so heroic, which made him admire. Even the slightly bowed body looked much taller.

At this time, Qu Jiazhen was on the house. Sun Er, who was sent by Qu Jiazhen to invite Zhang Yiming, ran back in a panic.

"General! Governor Zhang had gone out from the North City Gate a quarter of an hour earlier. said that he was going to inspect the situation in Tuntian. ”

"What? Out of town? ”

Qu Jiazhen jumped up from the chair and immediately reacted.

"Zhang Yiming, who entered the mother, ran away alone!"
