Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 508

As soon as the boat docked, Luo Cheng got off the boat.

As a result, there was a plop in front of him, and a person rushed forward and hugged his thigh, really hugging his thigh.

This caught Luo Cheng by surprise, and even the personal guards like Kan Leng were caught off guard. Seeing the officials on the shore were welcoming him, how could someone come to this trick.

I thought it was an assassin.

"There are assassins, protect the commander!"

While shouting, Kan Leng rushed over and hugged the man on the ground, and more guards rushed forward.

"Don't fight, don't fight, I am Jiangdu Juncheng!"

Hearing this, Luo Cheng, who kicked him twice without kicking him away, couldn't help but stop.

Look down.

Well, the guy holding his thigh is extremely fat, tall and fat, like a big bear.Especially this guy, although his official accent was very official when he reported his name, but his appearance was, um, very silly.

Deep eye sockets and high nose bridge, especially brown beard and hair.

It's like a big brown bear.

"You are Wang Shichong?"

"Marshal, I am really Wang Shichong."

At this time, the officials on the pier behind also rushed over to claim a misunderstanding.

Ever since, everyone realized that there was a big oolong.

Luo Cheng pulled up Wang Shichong, who was a bit embarrassed, "Oh, I really misunderstood, Wang Juncheng, you were too enthusiastic just now, and I was caught off guard."

Wang Shichong didn't expect this trick either, he was thinking that Luo Cheng is the most popular fried chicken in the court now, so he must flatter him, who knows, this flattery was slapped on the horse's leg, and he got himself hurt Lots of punches.

But Wang Shichong is very thick-skinned, even after making such a big fool of himself, he still smiled like a flower.

"It was me who was reckless and offended the commander-in-chief. I ask the commander-in-chief to forgive me."

Luo Cheng helped Wang Shichong up, and looked at this famous hero in the late Sui Dynasty. He was really fat, but he was not simply fat, but strong.With a huge body, a big belly, and a big head, coupled with the appearance of the exotic barbarian, it is really recognizable.

Wang Shichong knows how to judge his appearance best. When Luo Cheng looked at his appearance, he smiled and said, "Actually, the official surname is Zhi, and he is a barbarian from the Western Regions. My family has traveled to and from the Central Plains for several generations. Later, when my grandfather lived in the Xinfeng. Later, my grandfather passed away early, and my father remarried with my grandmother to live in the Wang clan of Bacheng, so it was changed to a royal marriage."

Later, Lao Wang did well, and when he grew up, he actually got the position of Bianzhou Changshi in the troubled times.Therefore, Wang Shichong can be regarded as the second generation of officials when he was young.

His father is from the Western Regions, but his grandmother is Han, and his mother is also from the Han. Therefore, although Wang Shichong still has the obvious characteristics of the Hu, he is actually a mixed-blood who has been mixed for several generations and has never lived in the Western Regions for a day.

He has been the second generation of officials since he was a child, and his education is actually the same as that of ordinary Guanlong officials' children.He has been fond of reading since he was a child, dabbling extensively in classics and history, especially military books. In addition, he also likes divination, fortune-telling, astronomy and calendar calculations. He is a person who likes to read miscellaneous books.

When he grew up, he was no different from the children of other officials. They all went to the Imperial College to study, then entered the palace as a guard, and then went to war.Wang Shichong was still very good at fighting. When he was young, he had been in the third division according to his military exploits, and later he became a member of the Ministry of War. He used to be a guard in the palace with Li Jing, and he was also a member of the Ministry of War.

However, unlike Li Jing's down-to-earth character, Wang Shichong is the best argumentative person because of his eloquence.He likes to give advice to the court, because he is familiar with various legal provisions, so he often catches the loopholes in the legal provisions to cheat for personal gain and do whatever he wants.

If ordinary people criticize him, he can still use all kinds of clever rhetoric to make you speechless and make you helpless.

When he succeeded to the throne today, Wang Shichong also relied on his clever mouth, coupled with his good at observing his face, he was able to flatter and flatter and obey the holy will, so the emperor always felt that this Wang Shichong was really amazing and understood the holy will very well.On the other hand, Wang Shichong was willing to spend money. Not only did he give gifts to ministers, he even dared to give gifts to the emperor.

Now, he has assumed the post of Jiangdu County Prime Minister and Jiangdu Palace Supervisor. This is an important position, equivalent to being a mayor directly under the Central Government.

In terms of rank, it is from the third rank, which is not more than one level lower than Luo Cheng's regular third rank general, but he can hug his thigh as soon as they meet, which shows how shameless this person is.

"My subordinates have already prepared a banquet to cleanse the dust, and invite the commander into the city."

Luo Cheng shook his head.

"Ten li of Yangzhou is prosperous and beautiful. But after all, Jiangdu is a place where His Majesty often visits, and there are palaces and so on. It is not convenient for me to bring soldiers into the city, so I will take a rest outside the city. You can ask someone to replenish the military supplies."

Wang Shichong was a little surprised.

He had studied Luo Cheng for a long time, and thought that Luo Cheng was young after all, and he might be more cautious in the capital, but he would definitely be more relaxed when he got to the place.

The Luo family is very popular now, Luo Yi is in the pilgrimage, Luo Cheng is young but deeply favored by the emperor, even Luo Siye has become a son-in-law, the Luo family has two princes and two lords, so it is still necessary to curry favor.

He has even prepared a lot of money, jewels and beauties for Luo Cheng.

But now Luo Cheng refused to enter Jiangdu City.

"Wang Juncheng, are the food, grass, military supplies, and ships needed by the commander ready? In addition, I sent you an order to recruit Jianghuai sailors. How is it?"

Wang Shichong dare not neglect.

"After receiving the commander-in-chief's military order, the subordinate officials immediately mobilized. Now the warehouses at the docks have prepared weapons, food and grass. In addition, they have urgently recruited [-] Jianghuai government soldiers and sailors. They all went to Donglai to join Donglai. It's from the Marine Corps."

"Is everything ready? That's good." Luo Cheng just responded lightly, without saying anything.

Wang Shichong looked at Luo Cheng secretly, but unexpectedly found that he couldn't see what the young handsome man was thinking.

"Let's go, go and have a look at the weapons, money and rations you have prepared, as well as the soldiers and sailors of the government. If you dare to act recklessly, the commander will not take it lightly."

"Never dare to act recklessly, Marshal, but please rest assured."

After walking around the warehouse and the military barracks on the pier a few times, Luo Cheng expressed his satisfaction. Although Wang Shichong loves flattering, his execution ability is indeed very good.

In particular, the 5000 men and horses are all soldiers and sailors conscripted from the Jianghuai area, who are well versed in water and good at maneuvering boats.

"Wang Juncheng, how is the situation of the rebels now?"

"The rebels are sending troops to attack the two counties of Danyang and Xuancheng."

Wujun is the Suzhou of later generations, Danyang is Jinling, and Xuancheng is the Tongling area of ​​Xuancheng of later generations. This area belongs to Jiangdong.To the west of Xuancheng County, Poyang, Yuzhang and other counties all belong to the geographical scope of Jiangxi.
