Chapter 895 If the sky wants to die, it must make it crazy?
"Ha ha."

Outside Xingshan Fort, in the big tent of the Chinese army in Xuanfu Town, Zhang Cheng sat firmly at the top. He just smiled and didn't say anything.

But Zhang Guangda, who was sitting on the right side of the lower head, didn't do it. He just opened his mouth and said, "What? Does Yuan Tongjuan have any doubts about this? The Tang report of the Great Victory was reported to Governor Xingyuan a few days ago. Now I guess All works have been reported to the capital and submitted for preview."

As he spoke, he stared at Yuan Guodong with big blister-like eyes and continued to ask, "The body of the slave thief and fake king Duoduo is now on Changling Mountain. Should Yuan Tongpan go there and have a look?"

How could Yuan Guodong fail to see that Zhang Guangda's expression was unkind, even if he didn't see it for a while, he could still hear it from his tone.

But although he had nothing to do with Zhang Cheng, he was still full of authority when facing Zhang Guangda, and he said unhurriedly: "Excuse me, General Zhang, this general has a very good eye. I don't know which general is under the command of the general?"

Zhang Cheng unhurriedly drank his saliva first, and then said lightly: "Zhang Guangda is a general under my commander. He once killed a slave with the title of 'Batulu' outside the West Stone Gate. Zhengbai Banner Gushan Ezhenzhun Pagoda."

Zhang Cheng paused for a moment, took a sip of his tea, and continued: "This time when we returned to aid Xingta, General Zhang beheaded and killed Xiangbai Banner Ba Ya La Tiao Zhang Jing E Shuo at the foot of Changling Mountain in a battle with slaves.

He is really a person who has made great contributions to the court, even Hong Du has a lot of words of appreciation, and he is extremely trusted by Zhang Ruoqi, the commander-in-chief. Yuan Tongpan must get to know him well.

I can't tell when I will need my General Zhang to rescue you and wait! "

What he said was neither humble nor overbearing. He not only reported that Zhang Guangda was his general, but also mentioned Zhang Guangda's achievements, which really stunned Yuan Guodong, Wang Zhizhen and others.

Especially the last sentence, there is already a hint of threat in it.

However, the fact is true, just like today’s Xingshan Fort, over [-] thieves are raging outside Xingshan Fort, and they may attack the castle at any time, but they dare not fight against it. Totally powerless.

Fortunately, Zhang Guodong, a guerrilla from Xuanfu Town, led soldiers from infantry battalion and chariot battalion, as well as cavalry from Datong and Shanxi towns to help. After fighting for a whole day, they were able to repel the Tartars, making Xingshan Fort no longer in danger.

Who can guarantee that the Tartars will not make a comeback again? If they really offend these military officers and generals today, then if they refuse to come to the rescue, or if they deliberately delay when they come to the rescue, So what?

Before Yuan Guodong could say anything, Wang Zhizhen, the supervisor sitting above him, said with a smile all over his face: "Haha, I misunderstood, I misunderstood. I heard about General Zhang's brave name earlier, but I never thought about it. When I saw him in Xingshan, the general was mighty, and his reputation really lived up to his reputation."

Wang Zhizhen didn't feel much about Zhang Cheng at the beginning. After all, Zhang Cheng at that time was only a vain title of the general of Henan's aid and suppression. Too much attention.

But today is different. Today Zhang Cheng is the chief military officer of the Xuan Mansion. There are not many people in the room.

How can it not attract their attention, but they only know three things about Zhang Cheng now.

One is naturally young and promising, and the other is domineering, absolutely arrogant and domineering, completely ignoring these civil servants, and dare to sit on the top alone.

The third is to be able to fight, but their ability to fight is still based on the concept that Xuanfu soldiers and horses can fight, and they did not realize that only the Xuanfu soldiers and horses led by Zhang Cheng can fight to a high level.

Everyone chatted for a while, just asking how Zhang Cheng killed Duoduo and the specific situation of the battle on Bijia Mountain.

At the end of the day, Zhizhen, the supervising Taoist king, invited Zhang Cheng to enter the city tomorrow. He wanted to host a banquet to welcome Zhang Cheng, and at the same time celebrate Zhang Cheng's troops beheading Dodo, but he was unexpectedly declined by Zhang Cheng.

The judge Yuan Guodong also said that there are not many pigs and sheep in the city now, but he is grateful that the soldiers have been fighting outside for a long time without any oily smell, which may affect the morale of the army and greatly reduce the combat power. He even promised to send people tomorrow to send three pigs and sheep each. head, as a sign of consolation.

Zhang Cheng was very happy to accept this, and expressed his thanks verbally.

…………

That night, in the side hall of the Xingshanbao Procuratorate, Yuan Guodong vomited bitterness to Wang Zhizhen, venting all his complaints.

"Brother Yun, Zhang Cheng is a warrior, how dare he be so domineering."

Yuan Guodong continued to say with displeasure on his face, "He is just a commander in chief. How can he sit at the top by himself and let you and I be at the bottom?"

When he said this, he dropped the teacup in his hand heavily on the table, made a light "pop", and continued angrily: "Let him be so tidy, what is the face of scholars, and the face of the court?" Why, it's really messed up."

Although Wang Zhizhen also couldn't understand Zhang Cheng's domineering, especially for Zhang Cheng's ignorance of the court system, he actually sat in the top position, and he had some opinions in his heart.

But compared to Yuan Guodong, he was more able to hold his breath, and now he said calmly: "Brother Guodong, let's calm down first. You think that Zhang Cheng is a martial artist, but he has always been good at currying favor with officials.

In the past, Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Sichang supported and protected him, and now he has his own soldier Chen Xinjia to take care of him. Don't you see that he is colluding with Zhang Ruoqi and Ma Shaoyu, restraining the governor Hong everywhere? "

When Wang Zhizhen said this, the subject suddenly changed, and said: "But it's strange to say that Zhang Cheng is able to make great achievements in the battlefield, as if it is like a god.

I heard that he had beheaded Yuetuo, the chieftain of slaves before, and had won the favor of the current emperor because of it. This time he beheaded Duoduo, the slave king. In my opinion, the holy family will only be more prosperous. "

He looked at Yuan Guodong solemnly, and said softly: "I think that when this son is lucky, the holy family will not be weakened. It is better not to mention the matter between you and me today, so as not to cause the reckless man to be unhappy. , and suffer the humiliation."

Yuan Guodong kept nodding his head with a look of enlightenment, and said softly: "Brother Yun is really far-sighted, this matter can only be rotted in the stomach now, and the old case can only be brought up again when there is a chance in the future .

He is just a martial artist, I understand that his good luck will eventually come to an end one day, we will wait to settle this account with him slowly. "

Wang Zhizhen also showed a satisfied smile. He tapped the desk lightly with his fingers, and said softly: "It's exactly 'Heaven wants it to die, it will make it crazy'!"

After Yuan Guodong heard this, he repeated it several times: "If the sky wants it to die, it will make it crazy...it will make it crazy..."

…………

On the [-]th day of September, the officers and soldiers of the Xuanda Army who came back to aid Xingta had rested outside Xingshan Fort for three days. The soldiers of each battalion recovered their physical strength and their fighting spirit was high again.

However, when Zhang Cheng led the cavalry brigade, they retreated quietly, and did not dare to fight any more, and they were no longer seen for several days. Now that the Tartars had retreated, Zhang Cheng naturally did not stay in Xing The meaning of this side of the mountain.

After these few days of recuperation, Guo Yingxian's injuries had healed somewhat, but Zhang Cheng didn't allow him to ride a horse. No matter how hard Guo Yingxian fought, he still couldn't get Zhang Cheng out of the way in the end, so he could only sit in the cart with peace of mind.

Then there is Liu Zhaoji, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong. He fought fiercely with the slaves for many days on the way of pursuit, but he failed to prevent the slaves from attacking Bijia Mountain. Thousands of troops under his command were also defeated by the slaves, and he himself was seriously injured.

If it wasn't for Zhang Cheng who came to help, I'm afraid he would have become the victim of a slave thief at this moment.

After these few days of recuperation, his physical strength has also recovered, but his injuries are serious, and he may not be able to ride a horse for a month, and if he wants to recover, he may not be able to do it in three to five months.

In addition, the scattered soldiers and horses of his Liaodong town, because Zhang Cheng's troops arrived in time, the Tartars had no time to chase and kill them, and now they have gathered nearly [-] troops.

Among them, there were thousands of cavalrymen, and the rest were scattered infantry, but even so, Liu Zhaoji was very relieved, and he was extremely grateful to Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Cheng not only came to rescue Liu Zhaoji who was seriously injured in time, but also sent sentry cavalry to help Liu Zhaoji gather up the rout, which is the most rare thing.

You must know that in various parts of the Ming Dynasty at this time, soldiers are almost equivalent to the private property of the generals, and they are also the capital they rely on for survival.

Whether you are the chief soldier, deputy general, general or guerrilla, as long as you have soldiers in your hands, you have status, and the number of soldiers and whether you can fight or not is the key.

Zhang Cheng, for example, is not because he has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, and they are all brave and capable troops, so he has a place in the aid of the king of Liao, and even ranks above Liu Zhaoji, Zuo Guangxian, Meng Dao and others. .

Therefore, all the generals tried their best to expand their troops. Disbanded soldiers like Liu Zhaoji were everyone's favorite, as long as they were recruited into the battalion, they could go out to battle without any need for training.

And Liu Zhaoji originally thought that Zhang Cheng would be like the others and take the rout soldiers he gathered for himself. At that time, he would be able to return the servants he had cultivated so hard, and he would be thankful.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Cheng was completely different from other generals. Not only did he not detain any of his soldiers, but returned them all to him, and he also gave him part of the military equipment seized from the Tartars to make up for the loss.

For Liu Zhaoji, this is tantamount to the grace of rebuilding, how could he not be grateful!

And Liu Zhaoji also knew that Zhang Cheng's troops had done a great job in aiding Xingta this time, although they were better than the generals who stayed on the front line in Songshan, but their soldiers also suffered heavy losses.

But even so, Zhang Cheng did not covet the rout in his own battalion at all. Liu Zhaoji already had a good impression of Zhang Cheng, and at this moment he felt admiration for him. This one thigh.

After everyone persuaded him to no avail, Liu Zhaoji was carried by his subordinate Ding's soldiers and sent Zhang Cheng away for a distance of two miles.

On the second day after Zhang Cheng left Xingshan, Liu Zhaoji, the general soldier of Liaodong, also led more than [-] soldiers under his command, and returned to Gaoqiao to garrison.

…………

On September [-]th, at the foot of Changling Mountain, a ray of morning glow shone through the clouds and shone on the faces of the soldiers of the Xuanda Army, giving people a warm feeling.

Today, more than [-] soldiers and horses from Xuanda's three towns who came back to aid Xingta gathered here. They will set foot on the road back to the front line of Songshan Mountain. The leader of Dushi Battalion Chen Zheng has already rushed to Zhong Army camp.

On these carts were the corpses of Duoduo, Prince Yu of the Qing Dynasty, Gushan Ezhen'a Mountain in Zhenghuang Banner, Baya Latiaozhang Jing'e Shuo in Xiangbai Banner, and their armor and flags.

On the other carts behind were the heads, flags, ordnance and other items of the Tazi soldiers. These were not only the trophies of this return aid, but also the trophies of the Changling Mountain Guard Battle.

In addition to the corpses of Duoduo, Ashan, and Eshuo, there are five Jiala and 11 Niulu from Qing and Mongolian banners. This shows how much Zhang Cheng's Xuanfu army contributed this time.

Originally, Zhang Cheng wanted to leave these corpses and heads on Changling Mountain first, and then escort them directly to Beijing from Changling Mountain after the emperor's order was issued, thus saving a lot of delays on the way.

But Hong Chengchou, governor of Jiliao, kept urging Zhang Cheng to quickly transport the bones of Duoduo and others, as well as the heads of the Tatars, to the front line of Songshan, so that they could be inspected and recorded.

After all, Hong Chengchou was the governor of Jiliao, and Zhang Cheng had no choice but to execute it.

At the foot of Changling Mountain, they divided one into three, one was naturally the army led by Zhang Cheng returned to Songshan, and the other was that the soldiers of the Dushi Battalion led by Chen Zheng continued to stay in Changling Mountain.

And the third is a team of one hundred knights from the cavalry battalion. They are responsible for escorting nearly a thousand seriously injured soldiers back to the vicinity of the capital for treatment and recuperation.

This team was led by Fang Zhihai, the Fuguan of the riding camp, and Hu Dayou, the general manager of the riding department, was his deputy, guarding more than a hundred carts, as well as many mules, horses and stretchers.

And the main force that formed such a huge team was Liao Yong recruited by Chen Zheng on Changling Mountain!
At the beginning, Chen Zheng had to recruit the Liao people on the mountain to form an army to help defend the position in order to be able to hold on to the Changling Mountain position because of the heavy injuries of the soldiers in the battalion.

But later he discovered that these Liao people were born fighters, so he wanted to include them in his battalion, but he was afraid that recruiting Liao people openly would cause dissatisfaction among the generals of the Liaodong Army, so he hesitated to take any further action. .

But after Zhang Cheng learned about this, he told him to let go, and he will bear all the consequences!
At this point, Chen Zheng dared to register the Liao people, registered Liao Yong who was willing to move to Xuanfu as a military household, and re-issued Xuanfu military registration to them.

Last night, Zhang Cheng, who led the army back to the foot of Changling Mountain, decided to escort a group of wounded soldiers to the vicinity of the capital for treatment and recuperation. Enter the customs.

That's why there was such a huge team. They stretched back and forth for more than two miles, and there were 5000 Liao Yong. Including their dependents, the whole team had nearly [-] people and nearly a thousand mules and horses.

They rushed all the way to Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan. Fortunately, the Tartars who raided Xingta were defeated by Zhang Cheng and retreated. Otherwise, he would not dare to send only a hundred fine cavalry as guards.

Even though these thousand newly recruited Liao Yong are quite brave, he is not willing to take risks!
