Changan.

Government districts, Prime Minister's Office.

Zhang Zheng's body was as tense as a pine tree, just because the person in front of him was his lord, Xiao Feng at this moment was holding the battle report on Chunhua in his hand, and reading it carefully.

He felt a little nervous, for fear that he would do something bad, and occasionally peeked at Xiao Feng with his eyes, but he couldn't see any clues on his plain face.

Is this the demeanor of the superior?

Zhang Zheng thought about it in his heart, and he was overwhelmed for a while, and he was secretly happy that he had successfully completed the task, but he was afraid that he would be punished for failing to capture Zhang Feng, and his contradictory thoughts made him feel as if he was being put in a hot pot.

"So, that Zhang Feng was killed?"

It was easy to put down the battle report, and Xiao Feng raised his head at this time.

Zhang Zheng immediately lowered his head and said guiltily: "Lord Qiqi, he is really incompetent, and he didn't notice that there were people next to him, which made that Zhang Feng killed and did not complete the task of the main bus generation." If the lord is dissatisfied, please reproach me. ”

"Huh. ”

chuckled, but Xiao Feng said: "You successfully quelled the Chunhua rebellion, which is really a great achievement, how can I punish you?"

But that Zhang Feng was killed. ”

Zhang Zheng's eyes widened, although he was happy, but he was also a little worried: "I suspect that the reason why Zhang Feng rebelled was also instructed by someone behind the scenes. And my lord, I have seized a lot of guns from Zhang Feng, and these guns are all from within the Song Dynasty. In my opinion, I'm afraid that person was sent by the Song Dynasty. Speaking of this, Zhang Zheng was particularly angry.

After decades of hard work, Chang'an can be said to be prosperous, and Guannai is thriving, and there are already signs of dominating the world.

And yet?

The Song Dynasty secretly played tricks, trying to incite a rebellion by a guy like Zhang Feng, so as to disturb the peace within the country, which is really hateful.

"Of course I do. ”

Xiao Feng sighed and said helplessly: "But even if you know, what can you do? No matter what, the other party is also an official of the Song Dynasty, as far as I am the king of Jin, even if I interfere, what can I do? I am afraid that when the time comes, I will be slandered by those scholars, saying that I will talk about the dynasty outline, if I am ruthless, I am afraid that what the name of Empress Lu and Wu Zetian will also cover me." ”

After decades of governance, Guan Nai basically looks to Xiao Feng and horses, and of course he has no good impression of the people in Lin'an.

On the other hand, the people in Lin'an are also very disgusted with Xiao Feng, thinking that Xiao Feng's existence is really the bane of disrupting the court and the world, if it weren't for the lack of appropriate opportunities and strength, and there is a Meng Yuan in the north, I am afraid that he would have started to do it a long time ago.

At the moment, it is only to maintain calm on the surface, and under the water, it is not known how many waves there are.

Zhang Zheng was speechless for a while, so he had to keep his mouth shut, he was just a little non-commissioned officer, how could he know these things above the court?

"That's right. You've been in the Central Guard Army for so long, are you in the mood to go to the frontier?"

Xiao Feng's expression changed, but he asked: "According to the latest news, it seems that the Mongolian tribes in the north are also starting to move, and it seems that they want to go south to fight the grass valley. In order to be able to protect Chang'an, I need a group of excellent non-commissioned officers to go to the frontier to help me protect the frontier. If you are interested, may you apply to the Ministry of Defence?"

"Really?"

Zhang Zheng looked delighted.

The Central Guard Army is the elite of the whole army, and all newly created weapons are first equipped with the Central Guard Army, and in terms of treatment, it is also the first to be named the three armies because it is located in Chang'an, but the Central Guard Army has a problem, that is, the speed of non-commissioned officer promotion is much lower than that of other armies.

After all, it is located in the center, unless it encounters major events such as the siege of the police station by the students of Chongwen Academy and the rebellion of Zhang Feng, there are few other things, and after integration, the Huaxia Army's requirements for military merit and promotion are also more stringent, and it will never be promoted with a casual military merit like before.

Just like Zhang Zheng, even if he successfully eliminated Zhang Feng, he only got a second-class merit, and his military rank was not promoted, which shows his difficulties.

But the frontier army is different, because it often needs to face the enemy, so its army has many ways to obtain meritorious service, generally only takes three or five years, any soldier who joins the Huaxia Army can be promoted to a non-commissioned officer by virtue of his military exploits, but in the Central Guard, it is impossible if there is no ten years.

Back then, Zhang Zheng relied on fighting in the frontier army to earn the qualification to enter the Central Guard.

Seeing that Xiao Feng proposed this, Zhang Zheng was pleased, because he had always wanted to be promoted from a school officer to a general, but unfortunately there was no way, because according to the rules of the Huaxia Army, if any school officer wants to become a general, he must sharpen it in the frontier, so as to exercise his ability to command the army, so as not to be like the Song Dynasty, make a bunch of soldiers who don't know the soldiers on it, and decide the life and death of the front-line soldiers.

Xiao Feng closed his head and replied: "This is nature. Could it be that I'm going to lie to you?"

"Then the subordinate is leaving?" Zhang Zheng was already impatient and wanted to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion now, but Xiao Feng had not yet agreed, and of course he did not dare to leave immediately.

Xiao Feng smiled: "Of course." You must know that the schedule is rushed, and if you are late, you will not have a chance. ”

Zhang Zheng first saluted the military salute, and then left the prime minister's office.

After about a cup of tea, the door of the Prime Minister's Office was pushed open again, but it was Minister of Defense Duan Feng who came here.

"The one before, it was Zhang Zheng of the Central Guard, So, the matter of Zhang Feng's rebellion has been resolved?" Duan Feng asked as he handed the file in his hand to Xiao Feng.

Compared with Zhang Zheng's previous restraint, Duan Feng was much more casual, after all, he was an old subordinate who had followed him for many years, and of course he knew that Xiao Feng didn't care much about these etiquette.

Xiao Feng closed his head and replied, "That's right. It's a pity that Zhang Feng was assassinated! It's really a pity!" You must know that she plans to continue to track down Zhang Feng's line to see who is behind the trouble, but now that the clue is broken, she naturally has to stop there.

"Assassinated, are you sure who did it?" Duan Feng's face showed surprise, that person dared to do such a thing in the Guannei, if it was either strong in the background, or strong in his own strength.

None of these speculations is good news.

Xiao Feng replied with some annoyance: "Except for some guns produced in the Song Dynasty, there are no other traces at the scene. And since that guy did this kind of thing, naturally there is no possibility of continuing to stay in the pass. At this time, the other party is afraid that he will run out a long time ago. ”

"Well, let the other party escape? But next time, it won't be so simple, and then we will definitely catch this guy. Duan Feng shouted.

Now that the clues are all broken, Xiao Feng can only stop there, so he changed the conversation and asked the next question: "This can be noticed, don't forget our real purpose." How are you preparing for the Mongol offensive?"

Although there are frequent accidents in Chang'an, it has always maintained a peaceful appearance, only the movement of Mongolia in the north makes Xiao Feng very concerned, this is known as the whip of God that swept across the Eurasian continent, and it is not easy to foil.

"In this case, I have already drawn up a battle plan, and I am waiting for you to see it. Duan Feng pointed to the file on the desk.

Xiao Feng glanced at it, and immediately frowned: "This plan, it will take ten years?"

"That's right. ”

Duan Feng nodded and said: "After all, this Hetao has been in the hands of the Hu people for a long time, if you want to occupy this place, you have to pay a lot of manpower and material resources, that is, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, if there is no Wei Qing, Li Xi and others to attack the number of people, how can you take the strategy of Huo Quai's surprise attack later? The ten-year strategy is still too conservative, according to my calculations, if there are no twenty years, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve results." ”

"Of course I know that. But you should also note that there is still the Song Dynasty in the south, and you must not invest too much, so as not to cause too much loss. At present, it should focus on preserving its own strength, and use the tactic of taking turns to attack and harass, so as to consume the opponent's living strength, understand?" Xiao Feng nodded, and seemed quite agreeable.

She is a person who knows the soldiers, but she is not the dull people of the Song Dynasty, who think that a single war can determine the victory or defeat of the two countries.

Most importantly, in many cases, the outcome of a war is not determined by the battlefield, but by who can provide adequate food supplies.

In this regard, the Huaxia Army, which has built a railway, has a natural advantage.

Duan Feng replied: "I naturally understand this. ”

Before the entire battle plan was presented to Xiao Feng, the staff officers of the Ministry of National Defense had already simulated it many times, which was enough to ensure that there would not be too many mistakes, and the reason why Zhang Zheng and other Central Guards were also transferred to the Northwest Group Army this time was also for this purpose.

The matter in the northwest is over for the time being, but the challenge faced by the Huaxia army is not only Mongolia, so Duan Feng asked again: "It's just the lord, just some time ago, Lu Wende, who was stationed in Xiangyang, sent an invitation, saying that he wanted to invite our army to participate in a game, I don't know what your opinion is, lord?"

"Competition?, what the hell is this Lu Wende trying to do?" Xiao Feng noticed the letterhead sandwiched in the file, and after taking out the letterhead, he saw Lu Wende's slightly rough text.

This Lu Wende is from a rough background, and of course his handwriting is not very good.

Duan Feng replied: "I don't know. However, according to my speculation, it is estimated that I want to take advantage of this opportunity to find out the internal information of our army. After all, he is the person in charge of Xiangyang, and in order to guard against a sudden attack by our army, of course, he must be fully prepared. ”

"Oh, what is your opinion?" Xiao Feng asked.

Duan Feng replied: "Of course I promised him, after all, if we want to occupy the Yangtze River, we will have to deal with him." This game, of course, is a good opportunity. ”

"Good. Then I'll leave this matter to you. I believe you. Xiao Feng instructed.

After dealing with a lot of things, Xiao Feng was also a little tired, and it was almost dusk at the moment, so after letting Duan Feng go back, she also returned to the Feng Return Pavilion to rest and replenish her strength.
