Borrow the day to change the day

When Zhong Jinwei heard that there was an army approaching, he couldn't help but startled. The first reaction in his mind was that there were still thieves?

Then he immediately remembered that all the famous figures of the thieves had been captured by him, and it was unlikely that there would be an army of thieves, so the rest would only be officers and soldiers.

Sure enough, before he could ask, the second messenger ran in again to report: "Report to Lord Marquis, the army coming from the southwest direction is under the banner of Governor Yansui."

When Zhong Jinwei heard it, it turned out that Hong Chengchou had arrived.This person is talented, but it is a pity that he has become a big traitor in history, and he will not be guaranteed at the end of the year.

When I recommended him at the beginning, I was only interested in his talent, which is what Cao Cao said in the past.

What's more, in the current history, it is estimated that Hong Chengchou would not be able to defeat the war and take refuge in Jianlu, so this person's big stain has been washed away by himself.

Zhong Jinwei thought of this, and said to the guards in the tent: "Go, go out and see what the army led by Hong Chengchou looks like."

After all, Hong Chengchou is a historical celebrity. Although Zhong Jinwei has met many historical celebrities, he still has a certain degree of curiosity.

Whether it is Gu Baichuan or Xie Dong, as long as there is no danger, they will naturally not object to what Zhong Jinwei said.

When Zhong Jinwei and others came to the gate of the camp on horseback, they could already see Hong Chengchou's army.

I saw that the army in the distance had begun to slow down, and the dust it brought up enveloped all of them, but there was no confusion.

A dozen or so knights were separated from the front of the team, and they left the large group and galloped towards this side.

Ma Xianglin was patrolling the camp, so he also rushed out of the camp at this time, and sent several white cavalry to meet him.

Gu Baichuan and Xie Dong led their respective subordinates, with Zhong Jinwei as the center, arranged in the shape of an "eight" on both sides.

After Zhong Jinwei saw that the dozen or so cavalry met those white-rod cavalry, he said something, and then continued to gallop here.

After approaching, Zhong Jinwei saw that most of the dozen or so riders were generals, surrounded by a civil servant in his forties.

When these dozen or so riders were still a hundred steps away from Zhong Jinwei, the leading civil servant stopped with the generals, then got off his horse, and walked quickly towards Zhong Jinwei.The dust brought up by their horses dissipated after drifting for a certain distance, and did not affect Zhong Jinwei at all.

Seeing this detail, Zhong Jinwei couldn't help nodding secretly, this Hong Chengchou was much more careful than ordinary officials.

As he got closer, Zhong Jinwei could clearly see the appearance of the headed civil servant, with thin cheeks, a goatee, bushy eyebrows, and bright eyes, but his whole expression was slightly terrified.

When he was about ten steps away from Zhong Jinwei, although Hong Chengchou didn't know Zhong Jinwei, but because he had been instructed by the Baigan Cavalry, he also knew that the person under the guard of Dongchangfan and Jinyiwei must be Zhongxinghou.

He led his subordinates to kneel down and pay homage immediately: "Your official Yansui governor Hong Chengchou and his generals pay homage to the imperial envoy."

"Get up, come and talk." Zhong Jinwei ordered.

Hong Chengchou obeyed his orders and stood up and approached Zhong Jinwei. When he reached Zhong Jinwei's horse, he knelt down again, then clasped his fists and said: "I am very grateful for being recommended by Lord Hou, but I have never had the chance to see you. Thank you, Lord Hou Thanks for the recommendation."

After speaking, he bowed down again.

Zhong Jinwei looked a little speechless, Hong Chengchou's knees seemed to be a little soft, but by doing this, he told others that his relationship with Zhong Jinwei was unusual, and at the same time, he also brought his relationship with Zhongxing Hou closer, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Zhong Jinwei admired Hong Chengchou quite a bit, thinking that historical celebrities are indeed not ordinary people.He said to Hong Chengchou again: "Get up and talk."

Hong Chengchou stopped kneeling, stood up, and stood sideways in front of Zhong Jinwei.

Zhong Jinwei looked up at the army led by Hong Chengchou, and it had stopped not far away. He wanted to see the appearance of the army, so he ordered Hong Chengchou to take him there.

Hong Chengchou knew that Hou Zhongxing wanted to inspect his army and see his leading ability.But he was confident and didn't panic, and calmly led Zhong Jinwei over.

Hong Chengchou brought 400 cavalry troops and [-] infantry troops.The equipment and military capacity are much better than those of the troops that Zhong Jinwei saw in Xuanfu before. There is a big difference, that is, Hong Chengchou's soldiers are all middle-aged men.

Zhong Jinwei looked at it, and a question arose in his heart, didn't the frontier army in Yulin Town also owe their wages for several months? How could there be no signs of lack of food, clothing, ordnance from this army?

He didn't ask questions right away, and returned to his tent after the inspection, leaving only his entourage and the Dongchang Fan servants behind, and then he began to greet Hong Chengchou: "Here, Hong Chengchou, what is your name or name?"

When Hong Chengchou heard this, he felt a little strange. The Marquis of Zhongxing recommended him for the high position of governor, but he didn't even know his most basic name.Would it be too hasty for Hou Zhongxing to recommend someone like this?

Hong Chengchou's idea is not unreasonable. At that time, the recommender had the responsibility of guarantee. If something happened to the recommender and he committed a crime, the recommender would also be impeached and generally punished.

However, Hong Chengchou wanted to think about it, but he didn't neglect, and quickly replied: "The official name is Yanyan, and the name is Hengjiu. Lord Hou is the benefactor of the official, so it doesn't hurt to call the official by his name."

Naturally, Zhong Jinwei would not call him by his first name because of his identity, after all, it would be impolite.

"Heng Jiu, are you here after the thief?" Zhong Jinwei asked.

"I'm ashamed, I'm a day late, and I didn't catch up with the thief." Facing Zhong Jinwei, Hong Chengchou said that he was ashamed, and his face showed shame, as if he said what he said.

He adopted the method of stationing troops in important places and chasing and killing the rogues in a net, so the speed was much slower than that of the rogues.But the advantage of his oppression is that the bandits will either be wiped out by him, or they will escape from his jurisdiction, neither of which will have a serious adverse effect on his jurisdiction.

After Hong Chengchou said this, he clasped his fists with both hands, his expression changed again, and he said with joy: "Congratulations, Lord Hou, for killing the traitors in Qin with just a single gesture."

"Oh, I have wiped out all the thieves in Qin land?" Zhong Jinwei asked in disbelief.

Hong Chengchou didn't think that his slightly exaggerated flattery would be taken seriously by Hou Zhongxing, and he replied with a little embarrassment: "There is still a band of thieves in the west of Qin."

After he finished answering, he immediately added: "However, the scale is small, and it is far from comparable to the bandits that Lord Hou destroyed."

"I just wiped out more than [-] celebrities and thieves. You should have killed a lot before?" Zhong Jinwei asked with a smile, and he still knew this.

"Thanks to Lord Hou, the officials have indeed killed tens of thousands of thieves." Hong Chengchou replied respectfully, in front of Zhong Jinwei, he behaved very pleasing to the eye.

"Don't say that TOEFL is not TOEFL, I still have IELTS! It is your ability to kill most of the thieves."

Hong Chengchou looked stunned. What did Zhongxing Hou mean by IELTS? But he knew that this was not the point, so he stopped thinking about it and was about to say a humble sentence.

At this time, Zhong Jinwei said again: "The frontier soldiers in Yulin Town have been in arrears for several months. I just checked, but it doesn't seem to be in arrears at all. What's going on?"

Zhong Jinwei finally asked the question, but he also believed that there was no false reason for the arrears of payment, because the record of the Ministry of War was that the payment was not paid.

As soon as Hong Chengchou heard Zhongxinghou ask this question, he immediately knelt down to Zhong Jinwei, and said to Zhong Jinwei with a look of pleading guilty: "Master Hou, I don't know that Lord Hou escorted the army's salary, so I did something. Master Hou is in trouble!"

When Zhong Jinwei heard this, he felt a little strange, and when he was about to ask, Gu Baichuan yelled, "How dare you implicate Lord Hou?"

When civil servants gain power, high-ranking civil officials can ignore the factory guards.When the factory guards gained power, they also had a condescending attitude towards civil officials.

Therefore, it is not a particularly strange phenomenon for Gu Baichuan to scold a big official in the frontier.

Zhong Jinwei waved to Gu Baichuan, Hong Chengchou said just now that he didn't do it on purpose.And he didn't know anything, so it was unreasonable to reprimand him like this.If people treat you politely, if you take it seriously, it will be a joke.

"I'm curious, what have you done? Let's hear it. It would be really embarrassing for me to destroy Jianlu with a snap of my fingers. As for the others, just tell me and see if you can embarrass me. "

Zhong Jinwei reckoned it was an official matter, so he spoke with a strong confidence, which made Hong Chengchou secretly admire him.

Hong Chengchou immediately turned his head and said to Gu Baichuan first: "Please appease your anger, Master Hou is the benefactor of the subordinate officials, and the subordinate officials will not do this on purpose."

Then he turned to Zhong Jinwei, straightened his upper body, and was about to tell the reason.
