"Report to the deputy governor, the storage secretary has sent someone to discuss first, and he is waiting outside the door."

A soldier lifted the tent and glanced at Zhang Chenghuai, who was sitting in the hall. Seeing that this governor only had a mustache, his face was thin and cold, and his actions were calm.

"Tell him to come in," Zhang Chenghuai put down the pen in his hand and said in a deep voice, "No outsiders are allowed to enter or leave during this period." ”

The soldier received the order, and immediately asked the confidant who was forbidden to enter the tent and arranged a chair to sit down.

The henchman looked at the fact that there was no one in the tent, and then said: "Do you know about the prison appointed by the imperial court this time?" ”

Zhang Chenghuai looked at him: "Of course." That Dong Sheng, a member of the Ye Party, is young. ”

Hearing him calmly say the word 'Ye Dang', a smile slowly appeared on his face: "You are really a smart person, you can see through my intentions here at a glance." ”

"Don't think that I have a good impression of you," Zhang Chenghuai snorted coldly, "The Chen Party that your master is attached to, although it is called Qingliu, there is really no good governance, but it is just to maintain the status quo. I advise you to be careful, don't stir up the muddy waters to the border, and treat us as slaves who are free to serve. ”

The henchman smiled and said, "You have a lot of heart." The ban is just to make your life easier, and it does not mean to take over the power of the governor. What's more, this Dong Jian Jun, the generals in the military government are not convinced, right? ”

"It's hard to say," Zhang Chenghuai shook his head worriedly, "All the generals are Du Wudegong's old subordinates, and many people are still very supportive of the new policy, and now I can't be happy to see Dong Sheng coming." And I'm just a substitute governor, and I don't have enough authority to shake them. ”

The henchman said: "I don't know if the governor is willing to follow the instructions of the storage ban?" ”

"If there is a solution...... I'll be at his disposal for the time being. Cheng Huai sighed and said.

Cun Si Ban believes that the most important thing is to give Dong Sheng a dismissal. Although there are people who have a new policy in mind among the generals, they have never met him, and they don't know what their ability is. If you deliberately make things difficult for him and make him look clumsy, how can you gain the trust of the generals? ”

Zhang Chenghuai smiled lightly: "I understand." When you go back to the priesthood, you will say that the governor has everything and is only waiting for someone to arrive. ”

Boom! Knock knock!

Three cannon shots rang out in the camp in Suidi Town, causing dust to fly; A sound of horses' hooves followed, and the overseer Dong Sheng was surrounded in the middle, silently watching the honor guards on both sides: swords and axes were numerous, majestic and solemn.

"Inferior rank see Lord Overseer!" Zhang Chenghuai led a group of military attachés, knelt in front of the big tent, and shouted with all his might.

Dong Sheng kicked his feet, Tong Cunzhao turned over and dismounted, and helped Zhang Chenghuai up: "The deputy governor greeted him like this, I am really ashamed to kill Dong." Dong is a scholar who should share weal and woe with the public, how to deserve preferential treatment. ”

Zhang Chenghuai saluted again: "Dong Gong is an official of the imperial court, seeing your sword is like seeing the emperor, how dare I slack off?" Please supervise the army and go to the council. ”

Dong Sheng nodded happily, strode into the tent, and put the sword wrapped in yellow silk on the desk before sitting down.

Seeing that all the generals had arrived, after finishing the roll call according to the book, Cun Zhao smiled and said: "The prison army is here to start the defense of Suidi Town, and everyone can report the recent situation one by one!" With that, the henchman sitting on his right hand secretly glanced at Zhang Chenghuai.

Zhang Chenghuai comprehended and immediately asked: "In this case, it just so happens that there is a major matter that has been delayed until now, I wonder if Dong Jianjun can answer it?" ”

Dong Sheng couldn't help but be a little precautionary when he heard his words, and replied cautiously: "This official has just arrived, and he has never even seen an official document, so if he asks for details, he will not be able to answer." ”

Zhang Chenghuai continued: "What if this is a matter that only the imperial court can handle? The supervising army has been in the military department for a long time, and should be well versed in the official affairs of the department. ”

Dong Sheng's eyes were blazing: "Then you just say!" ”

"At present, the first part of the new army has been very costly, and it has experienced several battles before, and there is a shortage of lead and birds, and it is also bad, and it needs to be replenished urgently. However, the military government did not have much money to spend, and it was quite stretched, so the governor thought of a way to make up for the real with the false, and cut the new army a little to make up for the maintenance needs; However, the new army was a veteran left by Du Dudu, and the governor could not bear to cut it off, so some people proposed to reduce the salary of the old army. The people talked about this for many days, and they quarreled endlessly, and the governor had no decision-making power, and it was difficult to stop it, and only by relying on the orders of the overseers could the dispute be settled, so that our soldiers would be bent on resisting the enemy. ”

"I hope that Dong Jian Jun will cut out the new army!" As soon as Zhang Chenghuai's words fell, an officer walked to the middle and clenched his fists to persuade him.

"What are you talking about!" Another person stood up and retorted, glaring angrily, "The new army is the most capable team in our army, and it is only by relying on them that we have the comfort of the border pass!" To cut them is simply ungrateful! ”

"yes, yes!" Some officers were also fighting on the sidelines.

"What's the matter, didn't our soldiers lick blood from their knives?" The officers on the side of the old army replied one after another, even more unconvinced.

"Fuck you!"

It was difficult for both sides to hold back the anger in their hearts, so they rushed forward to push and scold, and suddenly there was a mess and a lot of commotion.

Cun Zhao perfunctorily persuaded a few words, but instead looked at Dong Sheng, who was at a loss, and thought: "Zhang Chenghuai is really shrewd, let him deal with such a dilemma as soon as he comes." He has not established his authority, and he does not understand the situation here, and his abrupt judgment will surely provoke one of them. At that time, there will be more incitement, and it will be seen that his function of overseeing the army will be reserved for a few days! ’

"Everyone, wait." Dong Sheng stopped everyone loudly, and there was no trace of panic on his face.

When everyone saw that he was in command, they also suppressed their emotions and returned to their seats: "Lord Supervisor, you have to give an explanation!" ”

"If you ask me, I can't give an explanation."

Cun Zhao smiled and said, 'This is self-defeating......

"But if you ask Du Dudu, he may be able to answer this question," as he spoke, Dong Sheng raised his left hand, took out a piece of letter paper from his cuff, unfolded it and showed it to everyone, "Look, this is Du Dudu's last table before his death!" It was sent to the Ministry of War. ”

Cun Zhao's hand shook suddenly, his smug smile froze instantly, and his stunned gaze was fixed on the letter—he didn't expect that his previous suspicions would come true, and this private document would play a role at this most critical time.

"Let's see, this—Is this Dudu's handwriting?" Cun Zhao hesitated and was uneasy, and his palms were sweating, and he still refused to believe it.

"That's right, it's Du Wudegong's handwriting, every word is true." Zhang Chenghuai was shocked, but also had to admit the authenticity of the letter, and replied hesitantly.

"Dong Jianjun, when is this letter?" Cun Zhao was helpless, turned sideways and asked.

Dong Sheng's face was expressionless: "It was his suggestion to the Ministry of War a few days before he died, and it can be regarded as his will." ”
