When Zhang Chengqian heard Jiang Cheng's words, his heart was hot, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he looked at the top of Jiang Cheng's head.

At the critical moment, it is still easy to do things with loyal ministers and good generals!

Whenever Jiang Cheng said that he wanted tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, he would suspect that Jiang Cheng was being co-opted by Jiang Zhu, and wanted to bring a large number of soldiers and horses back to Zhenzhou and win a place in front of Zhang Junlin.

But five thousand soldiers and horses are insignificant to Zhang Junlin, who is said to be a seventh-order martial artist.

In addition, the credit for suppressing the rebellious people is far higher than risking death to return to Zhenzhou to be an ordinary general, Jiang Cheng will not be stupid to abandon the glory and wealth, and risk the sin of the nine clans to go to the camp of the rebels.

The most important thing is that Jiang Cheng's words went to his heart!

"Okay, I promise you, go and order 5,000 soldiers and horses to go to Zhenzhou!"

Zhang Chengqian handed over the tiger talisman to Jiang Cheng, and did not forget to let him guarantee it.

"You have to take a good look at Zhenzhou for me, it's your hometown, and you can't let the people there be used."

In the past few days, he has been listening to the magnates whispering in their ears about cultivating wasteland, and he has heard that many people have sent slaves to Zhenzhou to investigate.

At this time, if Zhenzhou is in chaos, it will indeed make more people fall to Zhang Junlin's side.

If he doesn't wait for him to find evidence of Zhang Junlin's fatal crime, I'm afraid something will not be good.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the last general will definitely protect Zhenzhou!"

Jiang Cheng responded calmly on the surface, hiding the joy in his heart.

The emperor agreed without hesitation, as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said!

In fact, what he said to Jiang Zhu was that he wanted to bring back the 20,000 garrisons in Zhenzhou City.

But the reply said that bringing 20,000 is too much.

Now all the soldiers and horses under the emperor add up to less than 100,000, and if he takes more than 20%, anyone will be suspicious.

What's more, in the process of fleeing north, the emperor did not forget to loot soldiers, horses and food from all over the country, which shows that he attaches great importance to protecting his army.

"General Jiang, what this palace values is your ability, and it is for you to return to Zhenzhou as a guard, so it doesn't hurt if you return alone."

"This palace knows that it is a betrayal of your father to let you do this, but now my father is listening to slander and wants to kill this palace, and this palace is also forced to protect at least the results of the whole Jinling militia protection, and when the peace talks are over, how my father is willing to punish this palace, this palace has nothing to say."

Jiang Cheng walked down the stairs while thinking back to the contents of the letter.

In fact, when he received a letter from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he was still hesitant.

Although the former Empress had the grace to support him, he was loyal to His Majesty after all.

But.

Today, the Seven Princes of Western Chu came to Jiazhou, and after he learned the news, he has been observing His Majesty's movements.

After hearing that His Majesty was going to meet the Seven Princes of Western Chu for a banquet, he sent someone to the city gate to inquire, and the Seven Princes of Western Chu came to the road to seal it, bypassing Jinling and Zhenzhou.

He guessed the intention of the Seven Princes of Western Chu.

In particular, he concealed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's negotiation with His Majesty, which was to grasp His Majesty's mentality of being greedy for life and afraid of death, and surrendering to Xichu.

It is conceivable that His Majesty, as the victorious country and the lord of a country, was so courteous to a prince who had penetrated deep into the enemy country.

If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really has an accident, then South Vietnam will not be a country.

"Your Majesty, the last will go!"

Walk down the steps.

Jiang Cheng solemnly clenched his fists, turned around, and waved his sleeves.

Walk away.

When arriving at the barracks.

When I heard that I wanted 5,000 soldiers and horses to return to Zhenzhou.

More than 20,000 people from the Zhenzhou garrison immediately stood up.

"General, I want to go back and see my wife!"

"I heard that Zhenzhou and Jinling, even if you are a military member, you can get a field, general, do you think this is true or false?"

"General, did you take people back to Zhenzhou to open up wasteland and divide fields?"

For the father-son dispute between the court and the harem, where can ordinary soldiers know.

Since they heard about Jinling's decree on opening up wasteland and dividing land, they began to look forward to returning to Zhenzhou, and when the decree was implemented in Zhenzhou, they could go to open up the wasteland and leave a few acres of thin land for their wives, children and mothers to make a living.

But.

With the implementation of the prince's decree, they are getting farther and farther away from Zhenzhou.

It turned out that His Majesty the Emperor had heard that Western Chu had captured the soldiers of Western Chu because of the victory in South Vietnam, and was going to send assassins to kill His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

His Majesty the Emperor did not send people to negotiate with Western Chu, nor did he send people to stop the assassins, but he only knew how to escape, fearing that he would be implicated.

They thought that they would not be able to go back to Zhenzhou, but they didn't expect that the general would have to return to Zhenzhou so soon.

"This ...... I took 5,000 soldiers and horses to Zhenzhou to suppress the popular rebellion. ”

"It is said that many people are dissatisfied with the fact that His Majesty has scavenged for strong men and food in the process of fleeing south, which has provoked a popular uprising, and His Majesty has a decree to let me bring 5,000 soldiers and horses back to Zhenzhou."

As soon as this remark came out.

The soldiers who had come forward just now all shrank back.

All looked at Jiang Cheng with an angry and helpless expression.

"General, we are all from Zhenzhou, many brothers are still on the road, in order to help the royal family and nobles escape, they are either dead or injured, if it weren't for this military uniform, we might ......"

The soldier who spoke up realized that he had spoken inappropriately, and stopped there.

But Jiang Cheng still understood the soldier's mood.

If it weren't for this uniform, the soldier who spoke might have become a member of the civil uprising.

That's why.

He has to risk the infamy of leaving a stench for 10,000 years to return to Zhenzhou.

The civil uprising is fake at this time, but when His Majesty really wants to negotiate peace with the Seven Princes of Western Chu and agree to the conditions proposed by Western Chu, I am afraid it will become true.

At this time, the people of Zhenzhou were still able to cultivate the wasteland with peace of mind, all relying on His Royal Highness the Prince.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there must be no accident!

Keeping His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is keeping the peace of South Vietnam!

"I know that you don't want to return to Zhenzhou with me to suppress the original fathers and villagers, and I don't plan to do this, but to persuade them, and then follow Your Majesty's instructions to bring Zhenzhou under Your Majesty's control."

The soldiers' faces were even worse.

The people of Zhenzhou haven't had a good life for a few days, and the emperor is going to loot again?

Is this time the displaced people and refugees absorbed by the wasteland and the country, or the grain in the warehouse of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

Thinking about it like this, he was even less willing to follow Jiang Cheng to serve.

"General, it is easy to suppress the people, the people, they have never fought with the officials, but the meaning of returning Zhenzhou to His Majesty's jurisdiction is that His Majesty wants to return to Jinling and deprive His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the right to supervise the country?"

The staff knocked on the side.

Jiang Cheng let out a vague "um".

"Your Majesty has informed the household department a few days ago that it will not continue to build a companion capital, and I think we will return to Jinling in the near future, and we will go to Zhenzhou this time to take the lead, who is willing to go with me? Dequeue! ”

Except for the staff who stood in Jiang Cheng's identity, among the thousands of soldiers who were training, only a very few soldiers stood up.

The soldiers who rushed to hear the news afterwards were still happy when they heard that they were going back to Zhenzhou.

When he learned the real reason for returning to Zhenzhou, he quietly slipped away again.

"General, a total of twenty-four people are willing to go with the general, but ...... They said that they did not want to suppress the popular rebellion, but only because they were taken care of by the general and were willing to advance and retreat with the general. ”

After the staff coordinated this number, they looked at the soldiers who lowered their heads and said nothing, and their feelings were very complicated.

The emperor looted a total of about 90,000 soldiers and horses to come to Jiazhou, and it can be said that all the troops on the South Vietnamese military roll were concentrated here.

But.

So what?

It's not that people's hearts are lost.

If it is mobilized before the war, I am afraid that this battle has not yet been fought, and we must first raise the white flag and admit defeat.

"It seems that we can only go to other camps to choose people."

Jiang Cheng also didn't feel good in his heart.

He didn't expect that.

It was expected by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince again!
