Horse on the World

Chapter 145 Candidates

"This plan is brilliant!" Shang Haibo slapped his thigh and shouted excitedly. "General, Fuzhou is extremely rich in salt production, has a large population, and has an outlet to the sea that Dingzhou does not have. If we can win it, it will be like adding wings to a tiger. At that time, with the strength of Dingzhou's soldiers and the prosperity of Fuzhou, The strength of the commander-in-chief will not be the same as it is now, and he is so faint to the fat man, greedy for money and contemptuous, this is given to me by God, and I will not be guilty."

Shang Haibo walked back and forth excitedly in the room, "Once we hold the seaport of Hailing County, we can form a powerful navy, sail across, transport strong troops, land outside Congling Pass, and then Joining forces with the Shiwei people and attacking both inside and outside, the barbarians of the grassland will be caught off guard and will be in a hurry, and the pacification of the grassland is just around the corner."

"I also have the same intention. Other places in Fuzhou are easy to talk about, but Hailing, I must take it down." Li Qing nodded.

"It's just this person?" Shang Haibo hesitated, "The battle with the barbarians is imminent, and the generals are all looking at this area eagerly. It's a bit difficult to send someone to pretend to be a bandit and mess up Fuzhou at this time. I'm afraid no one wants to go."

Li Qing smiled slightly, fighting against the barbarians, the military merit is real, but pretending to be a bandit, messing up the Fuzhou, creating opportunities for himself to seize the state, is absolutely shameless, no matter how great the military merit is, it cannot be spread explain.It can be said to be a thankless job, and none of the generals under his command is willing to go, but in Li Qing's heart, there are ready-made candidates.

"Mr. Shang, don't we have a ready-made candidate? He was originally a bandit, and this time he is acting in his true colors, which is more appropriate. You really want Wang Qinian and others to go. First, they are unwilling, and second, let these People who have been in the army for many years become bandits, even if they reluctantly go, but this soldier's habits are very easy to reveal."

"Did the commander mention Shanfeng?" Shang Haibo suddenly realized, "But General, Guoshanfeng has managed to cleanse himself. Once a person like him becomes a good man, his desire to do meritorious service is probably more urgent than Wang Qinian and others. It may be difficult for him to return to his old business, pretending to be a bandit, looting houses, and plundering wealth, and if he tries hard, it may cause serious problems."

Li Qing pondered for a moment, "You are right, but he is still the best candidate in my mind, how about this, I will talk to him first, and try my best to make him go willingly, otherwise I have to think of another way. "

"It's so good. As long as Guo Shanfeng thinks it through, he is indeed the best candidate." Shang Haibo agreed.

Guo Shanfeng is now full of ambitions. He has transformed from a bandit like a mouse crossing the street. Not only has he become a regular officer and soldier, but he is now a senior military officer in the Dingzhou Army Zhenwu. Although compared with Wang Qinian and others, it is still a little insufficient, but Wang Qinian, Jiang Kui and others are the old team of the general, and they do not feel wronged when they are overwhelmed by them. He firmly believes that with his bravery and brains, Given time, it will surely flourish and the future will be bright.

I thought back then that I led more than a hundred subordinates, wandering around, precarious, with their heads pinned to their waistbands, maybe they were captured by the government that day, and their heads were held high on the city wall. Qian Erlang, wherever he goes, someone will call him a general respectfully. Although he is still one level away from the general, it will be a matter of time. Is there no military merit to take?

After beating the barbarians, I should also find a woman, start a family, and leave it for myself to be a queen. There are three unfilial acts, and having no descendants is the biggest. I used to be too lazy to think about things, but now I have to take them seriously. We really thought about it.

Guo Shanfeng, who was determined to strive for fame and fame, buried himself in the barracks all day long, training his three thousand sons day and night. His scout battalion was originally composed of the elite Dingzhou Army. Feng has no secrets, and he imparts all he knows and can. Guoshanfeng has fought with officers and soldiers for many years, and has extremely rich combat experience. Under his leadership, the combat effectiveness of the three thousand scouts is increasing day by day. In the Dingzhou Army, apart from Li Qing's personal guard battalion, Guo Shanfeng really didn't care about the other battalion leaders.Although Wang Qinian's Tianlei battalion has more than [-] people, but in a frontal battle, Guo Shanfeng is convinced that he can defeat him.

Guo Shanfeng was able to do this because he firmly remembered what Li Qing once said to them. A general's ability is not only manifested on the battlefield, but also depends on how many soldiers he brings out who are accustomed to fighting. With him, an army is invincible, without him, it will still be destroyed. This is Li Qing's favorite general.Anyway, if an army loses its mind and turns into a headless fly, no matter how brave the general is and how much credit he has made, he is not qualified, because this army exists completely dependent on him .Therefore, Guo Shanfeng paid great attention to the training of low-level officers, and even let these low-level officers pay attention and make decisions by themselves in actual combat, and he did not interfere.

Today, Guoshan Feng excitedly rode his horse from the military camp outside the city to the Marshal's Mansion. He is really refreshed on happy occasions. He never thought that after the general returned to Dingzhou from Luoyang, he would be the first general to be summoned You know, above him, there are Lu Dalin, Wang Qinian and other important generals.What does this mean? It means that in the heart of the commander-in-chief, his position is at least not inferior to that of Wang Qinian, and he is trusted and valued by the general. As for Lu Dalin, Guo Shanfeng does not have such a heart compared to him.Now Lu Dalin is recognized as the number three figure in the Dingzhou Army after Shang Haibo after Li Qing.

Li Qingping calmly talked to Guo Shanfeng about the tasks he was going to entrust to him.

Guo Shanfeng never expected that today's summoning meeting would be such a thing, his face turned from red to white, from white to purple, and finally jumped up all of a sudden: "Marshal, I, I...!" Wan did not expect that when he came to the military commander's mansion excitedly, he actually heard the news from the commander-in-chief, and he would go back to being a bandit again. There is no light!

"Don't rush to refuse." Li Qing waved his hand, "Sit down, sit down."

Guo Shanfeng clenched his fists tightly, the scars on his face were throbbing uncomfortably, he sat down slowly while suppressing the anger in his heart.

"Lieutenant Guo, in the past two years, I have seen everything you have done. Whether it is fighting with the army, training personnel for the Statistics and Investigation Department, or training soldiers, you are the most dedicated and hardworking in the Dingzhou Army. Yes. I see all these in my eyes and keep them in my heart." Li Qing said slowly: "I have already told you about the importance of this task, and he is not only related to the issue of our first mover in fighting against the barbarians , is more related to the future development of our Dingzhou." Li Qing stood up and walked to the map hanging on the wall, drew a circle on the drawing forcefully, and said: "Lieutenant Guo, I have thought about it again and again, there is no one better than you." The right person has been selected. This time the task requires a general who is brave in combat but has a delicate mind. Wang Qinian and others are not suitable. They are more suitable for confrontation and charge on the battlefield. This time, apart from combat, they need to use their brains more often Li Qing pointed to his head, "I want to restore chaos to the state, and create conditions for our Dingzhou army to take the opportunity to intervene, but not let the vitality of Fuzhou be seriously injured. This is to cause trouble for us in the future. You are familiar with the tactics of bandits, I also learned discipline and training from the army, so if you enter Fuzhou, you will not only achieve our goal of messing up Fuzhou and plundering wealth, but also take this opportunity to recruit another elite soldier for me in Fuzhou. "Li Qing's eyes are shining brightly.

"You don't need to answer me now, just think about it for a few days, and I can promise you that I will hand over all the elite soldiers you have raised in Fuzhou to your command afterwards, and if there is a battalion, you will be the general." , I have a partner, you are the deputy general. In short, I will not let you suffer because of missing the war with the barbarians. Moreover, after taking Fuzhou, I will send a powerful force across the ocean to fight against the barbarians on the grassland. Landing in the rear, and you will be the commander of that powerful army, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation for you."

Guo Shanfeng came out of the Marshal's mansion dejectedly, and according to the Marshal's words, if he goes here, the scout battalion trained by himself can only take away 1000 people at most, and the rest will stay in Dingzhou. No, he let out a long sigh. After following Li Qing for so long, he had already understood the general's temper. Once he had made up his mind, it was impossible to change.Who can make the handsome change his mind?Let yourself stay in Dingzhou to fight against the barbarians, and fight for military merits in an open and honest manner?Instead of doing these ghostly deeds?
Mr. Shang?It is possible for him to change the commander-in-chief's mind, but it is impossible. Shang Haibo may have played a role in this matter. Finding him is like seeking skin from a tiger. Besides, I am also a little afraid of this white-faced scholar. The scheming city is too deep.He is not a member of the original Changsheng camp, but an outsider, and it is impossible for him to help himself.

Apart from Mr. Shang, who else in Dingzhou's senior management can help him?Guo Shanfeng led the horse, walked back dejectedly, looked up suddenly, saw the plaque of the Statistics and Investigation Department, his eyes lit up, why didn't he think of Qingfeng, the director of the Statistics and Investigation Department?Isn't she more suitable than Shang Haibo, and can make the handsome change his mind?Pillow wind, pillow wind!
Overjoyed, Guo Shanfeng raised his foot and wanted to step into the gate of the Statistics and Investigation Department. After thinking for a while, he stopped again, took out a handful of bank notes from his pocket, and said to the soldiers following him: "Go, go to the street. Go to the best jewelry store and buy some good jewelry for me. If you see what I am doing, go there quickly. Buy whatever is expensive. Buy what is good. Tell the boss that it is what I want. , if you dare to fool me with inferior goods, I’ll tear down his shop later, why don’t you be in a daze, hurry up, I’ll wait for you here.” Seeing that the soldiers were still in a daze, they stomped their feet angrily. In the past, a big footprint was printed on the butt of the soldier.The pained soldiers climbed onto their horses and galloped away like flying.

After the soldiers bought the presents, Guo Shanfeng didn't bother to see what was in the exquisitely packaged wooden box. He believed that no one in Dingzhou would fool him with shoddy goods. Putting on the box, tidying up the military uniform, and carefully thinking about the wording for a while, he went straight to the Statistics and Investigation Department, "Lieutenant, what are you doing here?" the soldier asked strangely. "What are you doing? I'm going to give Director Qingfeng a gift, and you stay here." Guo Shanfeng said angrily.

When the soldiers heard this, they couldn't help but shrink their brains. The captain was not trying to get Director Qingfeng's attention.I originally planned to tie the horses to the horse stakes at the door, but this time I didn't tie the horses again, and held the reins of the two horses in my hands, until my captain was beaten out with a stick, and saved the general from getting on the horse then escape.

Qingfeng looked at the exquisite box in front of him, stared at Guo Shanfeng with a pair of wonderful eyes, looked him up and down, saw that Guo Shanfeng felt hairy and restless, and then smiled and said: "Captain Guo, what do you mean by that?" ah?"

During the mountain wind period, Ai Ai stayed for a while, her face was flushed, but she didn't know where to start. Although the relationship between Qingfeng and the commander-in-chief was an open secret among the high-level officials in Dingzhou, and because of this incident, Mr. Shang even quarreled with the commander-in-chief. I had a fight, but no one would talk about it publicly, especially in front of her. Could it be that I asked Director Qingfeng to be merciful and blow the pillow wind at night so that the commander-in-chief let me go? Don't send me to Fuzhou, I guess if I really said that, I will definitely be beaten out by Qingfeng from shame and anger, and I will continue to wear small shoes on myself in the future to find trouble.

Seeing Guo Shanfeng's uncomfortable expression, Qingfeng felt a little funny. She was the first to know about Guo Shanfeng's dispatch to Fuzhou. On an ordinary big bed, thinking of the scene when I heard the news, I couldn't help feeling hot, and a numb feeling pervaded my whole body.Suddenly realizing that Guo Shanfeng was still in front of him, Qingfeng quickly put away his thoughts, "Did Captain Guo come to me for being sent to Fuzhou?" Qingfeng smiled.

Guo Shanfeng felt a chill in his heart, it was over, Qingfeng also knew, it seemed that there was no cure for this matter.

"Cough, cough, yes, director, I really don't want to go, I wonder if the director can say something nice for me in front of the commander? Let me stay in Dingzhou." The words in the heart speak out.This is the only chance, even if the hope is slim, but you have to try!
"The general is determined to pay attention to things, I'm afraid no one dares to change it!" Qingfeng smiled and shook his head. In Dingzhou now, Qingfeng is the only person who still calls Li Qing a general.

"Others can't, but Director, you can!" Guo Shanfeng blurted out without even thinking about it. As soon as he said the words, he yelled in his heart. Sure enough, Qingfeng's face immediately turned red, followed by counting. With the change of Qingfeng's face, Guo Shanfeng's heart also shrinks and shrinks. If Qingfeng yells for someone to come, he immediately runs away, trying to rush to the door before Paigun arrives, mount his horse and run away. Hurry up and go to Fuzhou with your tail between your legs.

Yesterday's hopes were dashed, but the promised four chapters were delivered anyway.Applause yourself, wow ha ha!
