Chapter 397
In the small hall on the second floor of the main building of the A-brand detached courtyard behind Tongchun Building.

Zhang Cheng looked at Lin Fangping, said with a smile: "Fangping, look, does this Liu Jinhai look like a powerful temperament?"

Lin Fangping also smiled and said: "Like, really like. Jin Hai, have you gained weight again? How do you look at it? You seem to have gained a lot of weight?"

"Who says it's not? I've been running around outside, and instead of losing flesh, I've gained a lot of flesh."

"Hahaha……"

The three of them laughed at the same time.

"Come on, tell me, you have been outside for half a year, but have you made any achievements?" Zhang Cheng asked.

At this time, Liu Jinhai resumed his serious expression, and he said in a deep voice: "Report to the commander-in-chief, and according to the military order of the commander-in-chief, the subordinates will divide the sentry cavalry into three groups.
The northward branch kept in touch with Su Yiyang, Diao Dacheng and the others, mixed in the caravan to familiarize themselves with the situation in Mongolia, focusing on the roads, water sources, and the number of herdsmen guarding each place, but also recruited some herdsmen who were scattered all over the place. Grandpa reports. "

He went on to say: "Two roads to the south, one goes from Shanxi to Henan, passes through Weizhou, Daizhou, and Xinzhou, passes through Taiyuan Prefecture, then passes through Liaozhou and Lu'an Prefecture to Zhangde, and has now reached the territory of Taiyuan Prefecture.
Their four teams are under the unified command of the team officer Baizong Ma Yuan. It was reported earlier that a stockade has just been taken down on Hutou Mountain, [-] miles north of Wutai County, Daizhou. The terrain is very good and the traffic is also very good. Convenience, Ma Yuan is going to run this village first. "

"Yes, stand on your feet first, then you can let go of your hands and feet and do a big job later."

Zhang Cheng was very satisfied, and he continued: "It is necessary to operate Hutou Mountain first, but you can't slow down because of this. You send a message to Ma Yuan, asking him to go to Pingdingzhou Guguan as soon as possible." Find a place, take root, and if necessary, go to Guguan and Jingjingguan to communicate with Jinan."

"Here!"

After Liu Jinhai responded loudly, he continued to introduce: "There is also a journey to Baoding, Zhending, and Shunde in the south of Jinan to enter Zhangde Mansion. Thanks to the help of Yuan Longchang from Niutou, the progress of this journey is the smoothest.
Now, in addition to the Yuanlongchang Chariot and Horse Shop outside the west gate of the capital, there are also four prefectural cities of Baoding, Zhending, Hejian, and Shunde that have our chariot and horse dealers, which saves a lot of effort for the army to take root in Jinan.

At present, there is still a team of ten sentry cavalry who are investigating in the territory of Guangping and Daming, and even went deep into the territory of Dongchang Mansion in Shandong Province and Zhangde Mansion and Weihui Mansion in Henan Province. "

Liu Jinhai paused for a moment, and then went on to report: "Up to now, my subordinates have been at Langwopo, [-] miles west of Wanxian County, Baoding Prefecture, and Crouching Tiger Mountain, [-] miles west of Xingtai County, Shunde Prefecture. We have laid down a foundation in the local area and built our own cottage, and in Huolu County, we also have the support of General Wei Zhice’s family brothers, which is almost blocked on the side of the Taihang Mountain in the south of Jinan.”

"Yes, Not Bad."

Zhang Cheng suddenly remembered something, and said again: "By the way, Liu Jinhai, if you think about it, you will go south to Julu in the past few days, and go to the old place of Jiazhuang, where the Eastern Captives fought fiercely. Burn a stick of incense for the old man."

"It's easy for the subordinates, please rest assured, the commander-in-chief!"

"Well, there is one more thing, that is, to go to Gaoyang on the way, visit Elder Sun Ge on behalf of my commander, and prepare a generous gift for him, as a thank you for taking care of the wounded for me!" Zhang Cheng said again.

"Yes, this subordinate has written it down."

Seeing that everything had been decided, Zhang Cheng was waiting to rest for a while, when he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Didn't you say that you brought some people to see me, and where are they now?"

Liu Jinhai only remembered this at this time, he smiled and clasped his fists and said: "Reporting to the commander-in-chief, my subordinates have received a group of troops in Jinan, and they have some relationship with us. The three leaders want to visit the commander-in-chief. I brought it to the capital, but I didn't dare to bring it directly without the permission of the commander-in-chief."

"Oh! What kind of origin, let's talk about it first!"

Liu Jinhai smiled and said: "The commander-in-chief didn't know something. When the Tatars invaded the capital last year, they captured hundreds of thousands of young men and returned all the way north. Among them were villagers from Linyi, Shandong.
When they were driven by the Tartars and marched near Zunhua, one night there was a great commotion in the Tartar camp. Among them, a few Shandong heroes led the villagers to take advantage of the chaos and escaped.

They passed through Baodi and Bazhou all the way, hungry and tired, so they took advantage of the chaos and destroyed two big villages, and went to Wanxian County of Baoding Prefecture by mistake, where they encountered a group of bandits blocking the way.
In desperation, he had no choice but to join the gang. Later, because he was dissatisfied with the bandit leader who robbed the poor people, a dispute arose. Zhou Heihu led the Shandong villagers to kill the bandit leader in one fell swoop. . "

He went on to say: "After Zhou Heihu became the leader of the crowd, he took the initiative to make friends with the surrounding government and not to disturb each other. He has a good reputation with the countryside.

Later, the story of the commander-in-chief's beheading Yuetuo spread, and he realized that it was the commander-in-chief who broke into the Tazi camp and killed Yuetuo that night. Seeing the goodness of the governor, he even set up a longevity tablet for the commander in the cottage, and bowed down every day. "

Liu Jinhai stopped to take a sip of water, saw that Zhang Cheng was listening seriously, and then continued: "Afterwards, my subordinates went all the way to the south along the foot of the Taihang Mountain to investigate, and when they learned that there was a special village, they went to pay homage to it in person. Mountain,
That week, Heihu learned that his subordinates were part of the Dushuai's work. He not only entertained him well, but also took his subordinates to watch the longevity tablet he set up for the Dushuai. Said items. "

He stopped at this point, sat there observing Zhang Cheng's attitude, but saw Zhang Cheng put down his teacup, and said, "Besides that Zhou Heihu, who else came with you this time?"

"Reporting to Commander-in-Chief, apart from Zhou Heihu, there are Zhu Hongwu, the second head of the village, and Zhu Yiqi, the third head of the village."

"Well, this handsome still has some time, you can send the three of them over."

"Yes, subordinates take orders!"

After Liu Jinhai withdrew, Zhang Cheng told Lin Fangping: "Fangping, go and urge Wang Zhaozheng. How are the food and drinks ready? I guess Yu Shangyou and others should be arriving soon. If he arrives first, you and Lu Dachun will take care of some of them first."

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief."

…………

After a while, Liu Jinhai returned to the living room, he clasped his fists and said: "Commander, Zhou Heihu and others are already waiting outside the house."

"Tell him to come in!"

"Here."

Liu Jinhai turned around and went out. After a while, he led three people back to the hall.

After the three of them came in, Qiqi knelt down in front of Zhang Cheng, Natou bowed and said, "Caomin Zhou Heihu, Zhu Hongwu, and Zhu Yiqi have a meeting with the commander-in-chief."

Zhang Cheng looked at the three people kneeling below, and said in a deep voice, "Get up."
