Chapter 599 I implore the commander in chief to save my brother's life

On the second day, after waking up in the morning, Zhang Cheng didn't allow Ji Xuanzhu to get up, but told her to lie down on the bed peacefully, watching Yurui and Xiuyue help her get dressed, and then left to busy with military affairs.

After Zhang Cheng left, Xiuyue complained about why her young lady didn't keep her son-in-law, and even asked her to favor the sisters of the Liu family, but Ji Xuanzhu said leisurely: "The general is a man who achieves great things, even if he doesn't covet the world." Stunning beauty, there will definitely be no shortage of women in this mansion, as long as he doesn't favor only one person."

She sighed, and said again: "You all don't understand, if you don't fight, you fight, and if you fight, you don't fight!"

…………

Zhang Cheng first went to say good morning to his mother and aunt. The two old ladies are now focused on their little grandson, and they don’t preach to him as before. They just told him to pay attention to safety during the battle to aid Liao. When he is not alone, he can ignore it, even if he doesn't think about the two elderly people, he should also think about Ji Xuanzhu, his mother and his son.

Zhang Cheng just promised with a pleasant face, and he asked the two old ladies to name his son, but the two old ladies asked him to decide on his own, so he could only say: "Since the mother and aunt said so, according to the child's opinion, don't give me a name." How about using the Jade Ding as its name?"

Mother Yang looked at her younger brother and sister Han, and saw that she had no objections, so she said to Zhang Cheng: "Okay, this child was born by your own wife, you can ask Xuanzhu's opinion."

Zhang Cheng chatted with the two old wives again, and after having breakfast with them, he got up and left, and went straight to the mansion next door. Governor Liu Yongzuo of the Xuan University was going to return to the town today.

Liu Yongzuo had just finished his breakfast, so he had to report Zhang Cheng to come to pay his respects to him. He hurriedly ordered his followers to invite Zhang Cheng to sit in the left side hall next to him.

A while later, Liu Yongzha was fully dressed and came to the side hall. Zhang Cheng hurriedly got up and cupped his fists and said: "Zhang Cheng pays homage to Mr. Futai."

Liu Yongzuo went straight to the head and sat down, then said softly: "Loyalty, it's just you and me here, don't be so polite!"

After speaking, he waved his hand to repel his followers, and then said to Zhang Cheng: "I came to Chicheng not just to drink your wedding wine, but actually to urge you to send troops to Liaodong."

He sighed, and then continued: "The imperial court's proclamation is coming one after another, if there is no more troops, it will be difficult to explain to the imperial court, to the present."

Zhang Cheng clasped his fists and said, "Master Liu, don't worry, Zhang Cheng will definitely send troops to Liaodong within five days, and he will definitely not make it difficult for Master Futai."

Liu Yongzuo took a sip from his teacup and said, "That's good. Governor Zhang can feel at ease."

He put down his teacup, and continued: "I will set off at noon, and go to Bao'an and Yanqing to have a look. I will wait for your army in Huailai, and I will practice it for your battle in Liaodong."

Zhang Cheng secretly laughed in his heart, this is not a practice, it is clearly a way to monitor his dispatch of troops on time!

But he couldn't say that out of his mouth, he said: "That's it, Zhang Cheng first thank you sir. The last general will resign, go to clean up the military affairs, and send troops as soon as possible."

After Zhang Cheng got up, he said again: "Liu Futai went to Bao'an and Yanqing, and I sent a team of guards to accompany him. The guards are safe, and you can also go to Yanqing to wait for the army to go out together."

Liu Yongzuo heard the words and said: "This east road is under your rule, and the banditry is completely eliminated, and there is no danger, but Zhongchen has a good intention, and it is inconvenient for me to refuse, so I will follow your words."

…………

Zhang Cheng just returned to the official hall at the back hall of the general's office, and was waiting for Su Zhenxiang from the Healthy Women Camp to give some instructions, when he saw Lin Fangping rushing into the hall in a panic, and knelt down in front of Zhang Cheng.

There were obvious tears on his face, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed non-stop, Zhang Cheng hurriedly asked: "Xiao Linzi, why are you so flustered, get up and answer."

But Lin Fangping couldn't get up, he kowtowed and said, "I implore the Marshal to save my brother's life."

Zhang Cheng shouted again: "Lin Fangping stood up, everything is supported by my commander, you get up and answer, why are you so panicked?"

Only then did Lin Fangping forcefully stop crying, stood up and stood in front of Zhang Cheng with his hands down, and told the story in detail.

It turned out that Lin Fangping also had a younger brother named Lin Fangqing, who was four years younger than him. When Zhang Cheng left Zhenbei Road, he also came with him.

Later, he was incorporated into his central army, and because of his good literacy, he recruited and trained new troops with Wu Zhizhong. When he went to Henan to help suppress intruders last time, he did not join the army to fight.

According to Lin Fangping, after the army returned to Xuanzhen, Zhang Cheng distributed food and silver rewards to the soldiers, and Lin Fangqing also received some rewards for assisting Wu Zhizhong in recruiting troops and training the army.

When he was in Xuanzhen, he had a playmate named Cheng Hu, but later because his father died in Julu, the family moved to North Road with his elder brother Lin Fangping, and he also joined the army and became Zhang Cheng's subordinate. , also cut off contact.

After he settled down on the North Road, he contacted Cheng Hu by letter and recommended Cheng Hu to join the army on the North Road, but because Cheng Hu's mother was weak and sick, he couldn't make the trip.

This time Zhang Cheng arranged vacations for all the soldiers after returning to the army, and Lin Fangqing also got a seven-day vacation, so he borrowed a military horse from the camp and rode back to the town to visit Cheng Hu, but he caught up with Cheng Hu's mother died of illness.

In fact, Cheng Hu also has a younger sister named Cheng Xiaomei, who is only three years younger than Lin Fangqing, and is now a 17-year-old slim girl, and Lin Fangqing is indeed a true childhood friend.

It was only because of Lin Fangqing's father's death in battle and family accidents that he went to the North Road that he lost contact, and only after Lin Fangqing and Cheng Hu exchanged letters did they reconnect.

This time when Lin Fangqing returned to Xuan Town, she wanted to help Cheng Hu's family move to North Road, but when Cheng Hu's mother died of illness, she stayed and helped with the funeral, but something happened without thinking about it.

It turned out that there was a wanderer in the town who accidentally saw Cheng Xiaomei, and often came to harass her. The Cheng family had always tolerated him because they were about to move to North Road.

But this time when the mother's funeral was being arranged, the prodigal son came to harass him again, and even threatened that unless Cheng Xiaomei came to his house as a concubine, her mother would not be able to be buried safely.

After all, Lin Fangqing was young and energetic, how could she bear this bad breath, at that time she had an argument with that prodigal son, and that prodigal son wanted to bully others, and summoned a group of idle street gangsters, but Lin Fangqing beat him up violently .

Everyone thought that the matter was over like this. After the brothers and sisters of the Cheng family were buried with their mother, they resold the dilapidated house and other items in the family, and were about to follow Lin Fangqing to settle down on the North Road. He led a group of people, including a son of guerrilla Wen Hui.
