Chapter 159 Where is Daddy?
After leaving the prefecture yamen venue, Huang Wenbing returned to his temporary office in a hurry.
A follower came to report: "Sir, General Dong has returned to the city and asked to see you. In addition, General Qin Ming and Qin are also in a hurry to see you."
"Summon Zhao Cheng immediately, and I will see no one else!"
Huang Wenbing waved his hand as if he had broken the bridge before crossing the river.
Not long after, Zhao Cheng came in, and he still had no time to sort out himself. He was covered in mud and the trench smelled strong. "Secretary Zhao Cheng, I have met the Tongzong's husband..."
"No gifts, don't waste time."
Huang Wenbing waved his hand impatiently and said word by word, "Zhao Cheng, tell me honestly, what happened to the Battle of Xishan?"
Zhao Cheng said in a humble and arrogant manner, "My husband clearly sees that Zhao Cheng, who should be said, has already said at the meeting that he dare not hide such issues. Even if he talks about the central hall in the future, he will not modify his speech."
At this point, Huang Wenbing felt sweat on his forehead.
I felt a little trembling because it was likely to form a political storm. What is the truth? Who cares about it? I will never care about it in my life.
But if Zhao Cheng did not change his words, according to the nature and environment of the Song Dynasty, when he was talking about his children in the middle hall in the future, he would certainly believe the scholar's words, and would not believe the rude army of Dong Ping. Moreover, Zhao Cheng was from the Cai family, and now the Cai family is in power.
In addition, this kid now has such a great public support. Zhang Ji? He added fire to it and supported Zhao Cheng. Damn he and the emperor were named Zhao. With the urinary nature of the tyrant king, even a god could not beat Zhao Cheng in this incident.
The pill is that if Zhao Cheng does not change his words, he will really conclude the serious mistakes of Wuwei Army. For this reason, Huang Wenbing will not die, and he can also blame Dong Ping for a certain extent. But since a real mistake has occurred, it is basically inevitable to change local officials and even demote him.
Perhaps there is still a little relief, that is, now that Zhao Cheng is brave, resourceful and cohesive, he will rely on fighting to win the battle of Chizhou!
For this reason, although Cai You supported Zhao Cheng, he did not care about the inside story of the Battle of Xishan. In the meeting just now, Cai You and Huang Wenbin temporarily maintained stability after communicating, and did not determine the issue of the Wuwei Army, and only promoted Zhao Cheng's loyalty and courage.
But Zhao Cheng still needs to cooperate to remedy this matter. This guy is now awesome, and no one can force him if he doesn't want to.
"Zhao Cheng..."
Huang Wenbing twisted his short beard awkwardly, "Although Wuwei Army has made some mistakes, he is also raised by human beings. Those soldiers are all human beings, and the mistakes that should have happened are irreversible. I believe that the best thing for the moment, there is no need to worry about Wuwei Army being defeated. Don't talk about Dong Ping's issues, just focus on defeating Wang Xiu in the end. In order not to have too much impact, I believe that Dong Ping's problems are considered as the thief in the Xishan Battle, which is too strong. After the thief, the militia and the imperial guards cooperated, they defeated Wang Xiu, but the overall damage was extremely serious. You see, it would be good and would retain the face of many people."
Zhao Cheng had a gentle attitude but was very stubborn, shook his head slightly, "It is precisely because it was raised by his parents in life that 600 people died in the Battle of Xishan. This means that thousands of women became widows, more than a thousand elderly people lost their sons, and more than a thousand children lost their fathers!"
Speaking of this, although Huang Wenbing frowned, Zhao Cheng gradually raised his voice, "It's strange that how many people have to dereliction of duty, how many people have to sit in the house, and how many wrong factors have to resonate, so that the six hundred officials' army was brutally killed by murderers in Xishan?"
The more I said, the louder the noise, "This process is so simple that it can be photographed. But if this problem is not straightened out, the person who should pay the price does not pay, and there is no criticism, the subordinates asserted that they cannot win the battle of Chizhou. The subordinates refused to command such a team to fight, please ask the elders to ask for another wise man."
"you……"
Huang Wenbing's eyes were a little dark, "Don't be in a hurry and in a hurry, don't threaten to resign and give up the prostitute at any time. This official is so easy to resign, and the responsibility is so easy to shirk? Chizhou is in a state of war now, and it's really not something you can let go if you want to."
"There is indeed difficult to shift responsibility, so... sir, do you care about the inside story of the Xishan Battle?"
Zhao Cheng said with a strange expression, "If you don't care, then I really don't care about the Battle of Chizhou."
Huang Wenbing took a deep breath, his back felt a little cold, and hesitated, "You are a... cruel and ruthless hero. Do you know this?"
Zhao Cheng nodded slightly.
Huang Wenbing sighed and sat down with some weakness and said, "It seems that you can make you so angry. The inside story of the Xishan Battle must be very cruel. For this reason, with your personality, you are unwilling to let Dong Ping down and beg for mercy?"
Zhao Cheng hesitated for a while and thought of the disappeared Zhou En again... I don't know the inside story for the time being, so I won't say it. But it was just Dong Ping's stick that ruined the fireworks reminder opportunity that Zhao Cheng's troops sacrificed ten people, and ruined so many people...
Thinking of this, Zhao Cheng nodded strangely, "Maybe the officials are a little vengeful to Dong Ping, but if they don't straighten out these issues, they will really not be able to fight in the future."
"Are you finished..."
Lao Huang felt that this bastard was almost like a robber, and it was hard to imagine that he would blackmail Shangguan so naked.
"You won't kill him, do you?"
Huang Wenbing had no choice but was a little worried.
Zhao Cheng shook his head and said, "I won't kill him. I just want to point out the mistakes, use criticism to shock the morale of the army, and avoid the state of doing what I do in the future."
"It would be strange if you believe it... But if you don't believe it, there is no way. You win this time, go ahead. I hope you don't make Chizhou even more messy."
Huang Wenbing waved his hand powerlessly to the point of refusing that this was equivalent to stripping Dong Ping of his political armor.
"Goodbye to the Lord."
Zhao Cheng quickly left Huang Wenbing's place.
As soon as he left the door of this temporary official residence, Zhao Cheng saw Tan Xiaolan holding a boy about six years old.
"Dad...whether my dad, where did you hide my dad?"
The little boy asked while playing rattle, which made Zhao Cheng half open his mouth.
Zhao Cheng knew this child and often played soy sauce in the county government. He was Zhou En's son. His mother had already eloped with the wild man. Of course, this happened before Zhou En became a civil servant.
Later, the mud-legged young man Zhou En was named by Zhao Cheng and became a toll-in. He had a dormitory in the county government office, and the children were usually placed in the county government office courtyard to play.
Although Tan Xiaolan is a witch, she likes children without children. After occupying Zhao Cheng's dormitory, she spent all day in the county government office, and was more familiar with this child. So when the child was crying to look for his father, Tan Xiaolan pretended to say, "I have to leave it with me. I know my strengths and weaknesses. I know my depth." Then I asked him to ask.
This is the whole story of this matter.
Helpless, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Earlier, the less his father was on the list of ten people killed in the team. Later, he was singing praises to Zhao Chengze's great victory in casualties, so Tan Xiaolan planned to make the child happy and bring him to find him with confidence.
But now seeing Zhao Cheng's strange look, Tan Xiaolan knew that she was afraid she was in trouble.
"Dad... the other children's fathers are back, why haven't my father come back yet?" the child asked again with tears in his eyes.
Zhao Chengshi doesn't know how to answer.
Tan Xiaolan hurriedly carried the child and planned to go back, "If you don't look for it, you will come if you should come. Go to Beimenfang, and my sister will buy you candy."
"No sugar man, I want daddy..."
The child started crying with a wow sound.
Zhao Cheng hesitated and said, "Come back."
So Tan Xiaolan brought the child back.
Zhao Cheng took a deep breath and squatted down to touch his head, "Your father... may not be able to come back. I'm not sure, but there is a high probability that he will not come back."
"Dad...where are Daddy?"
The child asked crying.
Zhao Cheng shook his head slightly with a blue face, "I don't know where I've gone, but I'll see people dead and see corpses. I will find his people or bodies back."
He said to Tan Xiaolan again: "Take him back and watch, don't run around. If this child is lost, I will look for you."
After the explanation, Zhao Cheng took the people away.
Turning around the street, hesitating for a while, Zhao Cheng leaned close to a policeman and whispered, "Go to Xishan immediately and check carefully about the battlefield that is being cleaned. No matter how you want to find Zhou En's body, you must be careful and not be harassed by anyone. If someone dares to collect money on this matter, cover up, hide, and mix with others, I will never be ruthless in killing people."
The confidant sent a quick leave.
Now the Qin Ming army is cleaning up the battlefield. As for the defeated Wuwei Army, the new military meeting has been removed from the Xishangang and deployed near Yongfeng Prison in accordance with Zhao Cheng's plan, and is temporarily waiting for instructions.
In addition, the general Dong Ping, deputy general Fang Zhong, and several commanders and commanders have all left the military camp and summoned Jinzhou City to report their duties.
Reporting the job is reputation. In fact, these people are afraid of everyone now. Even Huang Wenbing looks like he draws a clear line and doesn't want to get involved in them. There is no report at all. No official wants to listen to their report.
Zhao Cheng's intention was to prevent changes when these main officers were transferred and summoned to the city of the state.
In theory, an army suffered such defeat, which is temporarily unavailable. At this time, they are in a low mood and will find various reasons. It would be fine if they don’t have Shangguan, but if they have Shangguan, they will easily instigate each other and spread negative emotions to each other, causing trouble.
After Shangguan was transferred, ordinary small officers and soldiers were not very interested in it, and it was not their turn to take responsibility. They did not know the real situation, what their "boss" were thinking and what they were doing. It would be difficult to cause trouble in this way. On the contrary, they would easily calm down the trauma of defeat in a low-key manner.
Regarding Zhou En, Zhao Cheng always felt that something was wrong. Dong Ping's attitude was too abnormal at that time.
So when the little boy was looking for his father, Zhao Cheng thought carefully and changed his original intention, and whispered to another police officer: "Take more people, take my official documents to see Liu Qishan, and immediately arrest the senior officer who controlled Wuwei Army to report his duties in the city. No one leaked. Don't leak the news, and be imprisoned in secret."
"ah……"
The police hesitated a little, "Sir... I'm really doing this. Now it's time to use people. Although they have lost the battle, it's easy to say that we are persecuting wounds and sprinkling salt."
"If you want to go, just go, hesitate, now it is a state of war, what a silly thing to do."
Zhao Cheng said coldly, "It's not worthy to fight with me in public opinion and politics. Even if it's really persecuted, so what? I think I'm a good war, right? In fact, they are wrong. Compared to brainwashing, cheating people and extorting, stabbing black knives, military is my weakness! If there is really something wrong with this matter, I want them Wuweijun to regret being a human being!"
"Uh, yes, yes, yes, sir, suffocate them first. I will catch them and lock them up, and I won't care if I get the wrong one."
