Chapter 292

No matter how Xue Jing tried to persuade him, Wu Youlu's face was still as calm as water, but when Xue Jing mentioned that Wu Youlu could recruit Zhang Cheng's Jingqi, his eyes flashed, but he said lightly:
"The guards around Zhang Shen are as fierce as tigers. They are not idle people. How could he be good at it. This matter is extremely risky."

After Wu Youlu finished speaking, he filled himself a cup of tea again. He was just playing with the teacup, not talking.

Seeing a glimmer of hope, Xue Jing hurriedly continued to persuade: "Master Garrison, if you accept Zhang Cheng's elite cavalry, who else can compete with you on this North Road?
What's more, Zhang Cheng also newly recruited more than 2000 young and strong military households. , even Commander Jin Xinpeng can't compete with you, my lord! "

Xue Jing looked up and saw beads of sweat on Wu Youlu's forehead looming. He knew that Wu Youlu was struggling in his heart at the moment, so he hurriedly cheered him up and said:
"My uncle has already said that if this matter is successful, I would like to recommend Lord Garrison to be the commander of the North Road. At that time, Master Wu will be the palm seal, and my uncle will be the book. The land of the North Road will be respected by Lord Garrison.

If this is not the case, when Zhang Cheng returns, he will investigate the fields and hidden households, and the hundreds of family members that your lord has attracted over the years will also become Zhang Cheng's followers. At that time, your lord will become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. Someone has been slaughtered! "

Wu Youlu held the teacup tightly in his hand, but couldn't stop shaking. Seeing this, Xue Jing continued:

"Non-toxic is not a husband, and a small amount is not a gentleman! My lord, you must make a quick decision, and you must not hesitate to make a decision, which will cause endless trouble!"

"Snapped!"

The teacup in Wu Youlu's hand was crushed by him, as if he had made up his mind, he said in a dark voice with a grim expression:
"Done!"

On May 27th, Si time, in the main hall of Zhang Yan's mansion in Xuanfu Township.

The two old ladies were sitting in their chairs, reading the letter from Zhang Cheng, while He Shihui and Lin Fangping were sitting quietly at the bottom, with a little maid pouring tea for them.

Zhang Cheng's mother, Zhang Yangshi, read the letter, handed it to Zhang Hanshi next to her, and said softly: "Sister, Cheng'er has already gone to the capital, and he said in the letter that he would visit Aunt Wu's family. Miss Ji's family is really caring."

Zhang Hanshi took the letter, glanced at ten lines, and said: "Cheng'er, the child seems to have opened up now, sister, you don't need to worry about it anymore, let's pack up and go to Dushi. If the matter of Miss Ji's family is successful But I need my sister to preside over the overall situation at Dushi."

Zhang Yang's mood is also very excited, since she married into Zhang's family, she has taken care of her husband and taught her son, but this son is extremely stubborn, although he is also very smart, but he is very willful.

Now that I have fulfilled my wish, how can I make her unhappy, and said immediately: "Everything is up to my sister, you have always treated Cheng'er as your own, how can I be good at such a big matter now?" .”

Since Zhang Cheng's father passed away, Zhang Yang and Zhang Cheng have been living in Zhang Yan's residence, but Zhang Han has always treated her like a sister, so they have always referred to them as sisters.

Knowing that her sister spoke from her heart, Zhang Han asked He Shihui and Lin Fangping directly, "You must have received Cheng'er's letter, right?"

Lin Fangping looked at the old lady Zhang Hanshi and said: "Reporting to the two old ladies, I have received the letter from the general. This time, Su Zhenxiang led 200 healthy women, Zhang Chengfang led 37 people from the boy battalion, and there are also officers from Team Lin. Ten guards went to Monolith Fort with the two wives.

The subordinates were ordered to lead [-] new troops, but they still stayed at Xinzhuang Fort, and could not follow the old lady to Dushi Fort. Please forgive me! "

Zhang Han said to He Shihui: "Shihui, when the master was alive, you followed him to fight. Although the master is gone now, Cheng'er is still there. Although he is guarding the North Road now,

But you can't say when you will return to this town again. Since he only left you here, it shows his trust in you. Don't let Chenger live up to Cheng'er's expectations of you! "

He Shihui hastily left his seat and knelt down and said: "The old lady is serious. Shihui just wants to follow the general. He really has no other ideas. Please tell the general, the two old ladies, that Shihui will definitely guard the family property in the town. Please Don't worry, General."

There is a relatively independent small courtyard in the backyard of the big chariot and horse shop outside Fuchengmen in the west of Beijing.

At this time, Zhang Cheng, Wei Zhice, Chen Zhong and others were resting here, but Niu Sheng was busy working inside and outside. He kept yelling to boil water, cook rice, and cook dishes, very busy.

After a while, several appetizers were put on the table. What Zhang Cheng was most satisfied with was the plate of sauced beef. He was the first to eat with his chopsticks, chewing on the sauced beef, and said, "This is so rare. You have to be in Beijing to eat this kind of beef at will."

Wei Zhice smiled at the side and said, "That's right. In other places, who would dare to kill cattle for no reason? This farmer's plowing depends entirely on old cattle."

He went on to say: "General, you will stay here tonight, and I will go to the city first to help the general make a stand."

"Well, that's fine. I'll stay here tonight, and I'll go to the city tomorrow. You go to arrange an inn first, and you want to go to the mansion of Mr. Wu, a doctor from the Ministry of Industry, to report. If I have time tomorrow , I will personally pay a visit to Aunt Wu's family."

Zhang Cheng talked while eating, took another sip of wine, and continued: "Zhi Ce, when no outsiders are present, you can just call us. Between you and me, the general should not come, the general will go."

Wei Zhice said with some embarrassment: "Hey, I still call the general slick, we are used to it now, the more you call it, the more slick it is."

"That's right, I also think the general is smooth." Niu Sheng interjected.

He has been busy in the capital during this time. According to Zhang Cheng's instructions, he first opened a big car shop outside Deshengmen. Later, Wei Zhice raised the issue of the Three Caves of the Rabbit, and opened this big car shop outside Fuchengmen. car shop,

In addition to the stables, there are several warehouses and warehouses behind the big car shop here, which are convenient for passing merchants to store goods here.

Fucheng Gate and Chaoyang Gate are facing each other far away, and it is the closest to Mentougou in the west of Beijing, and Mentougou area is a place of coal production, and all the coal used in Beijing is transported from there.

The coal carts over there often pass in and out of this gate. Therefore, a bunch of plum blossoms was engraved in the gate of the Wengcheng Gate by the coal store merchants. "Plum" and "coal" are homonyms. Everyone praised: "Fucheng plum blossoms herald the warm spring".

Zhang Cheng set up this big car shop for a simple reason at the beginning, to facilitate the hiding of Niu Sheng and his team of sergeants and horses who do not accept nights. Another bonus.
