Chapter 172 A Shocking Secret
Zhao Cheng said again, "After recent survey, analysis, and thinking, I think Wang Xiu's army cannot bear anything. He wants the official army to take it lightly. So I think it is very likely that Wang Xiu will have external reinforcements entering Chizhou."
He Zhi was stunned and said, "Where is coming from?"
Zhao Cheng said: "From the entire Southeast region, after Wen Yanbo's prime minister Beizhou quelled the rebellion, the Mani cult was not eliminated. They have been lurking in the Southeast region and waiting for an opportunity to act. So I think that Wang Xiu's blatant rebellion is an opportunity. After Wang Xiu maintains the war in Chizhou and attracts the attention of the whole country, it will theoretically be beneficial to their Maniche expansion. This is the logic that Maniche will support Wang Xiu now."
"It's logic again?" Qin Ming asked what He Zhi wanted to ask.
“…”
Cai Wenji's expression became strange. In theory, she thought the scholar was a little laughing. But what was helpless was that the first Chizhou military conference was just a logical debate. In the end, the scholar was right. The others fell into a bang, and the face was beaten, which caused the entire Chizhou bandit suppression war to fall into a passive position.
Cai Wenji came here very ambiguously, not all for watching gossip. Instead, Cai You appointed her privately to maintain stability, not only to observe and supervise Zhao Cheng, but also to cushion He Zhi, and use He Zhi's mentality as a scholar, so that he will not really conflict with Zhao Cheng.
Cai You didn't want to take responsibility or publicly fight with some people, so he sent his daughter to represent him to a certain extent, but it was not an open official position.
Seeing Cai Wenji hesitating, he had a tendency to believe Zhao Cheng. Qin Ming, who was eager to take power and command the overall situation, could only hope for He Zhi, who had a strong background, and hurriedly bowed to the military salute and said, "Sir He Xiangming saw that Lord Zhao obviously made mistakes in military affairs and commanded blindly. The top priority is that Wang Xiu's strong army and strong horses guarded Lingzhi Mountain, forming a threat to Chizhou. At this time, our government should not disperse its strength, and should concentrate its strength and kill the Lingzhi Mountain. But Lord Zhao was catching the wind and shadows, intending to divide the power of the official army one by one. After many divisions, he wanted to lead the team to expedition. This clearly gives Wang Xiu the opportunity to gradually defeat us?"
After all, Qin Ming was a general and was known for his bravery. After hearing what he said, Cai Wenji looked at Zhao Cheng with suspicious eyes.
In fact, He Zhi was almost convinced by Zhao Cheng, who had already achieved achievements, but after hearing Qin Ming say this, he also felt that something was right.
In theory, Zhao Cheng, if you like to send it, it has nothing to do with others. The problem is that based on normal logic, Wang Xiu is very terrifying to be eyed by him now. No one knows when he will take the initiative again, and may attack the county town or the state town.
But at this time, it seemed like Zhao Cheng was intending to split the official army, strictly distinguish the imperial army, and issued an unconventional order to trap Qin Ming's troops in Yongfeng Prison?
In addition, he is now planning to bring the strongest batch of equipment in Chizhou (Shenbian Crossbow Camp) to ambush the Mani cult to catch wind and shadow?
Based on Qin Ming's reminder, He Zhi really hesitated after thinking about the above.
He Zhi himself has no grudge with Zhao Cheng. Even if Zhao Cheng is promoted quickly, it has nothing to do with He Zhi. If he is promoted again, he will not threaten He Zhi. No matter how hard he is, in the eyes of He Zhi, Zhao Cheng always belongs to the category of mud legs.
But after Qin Ming's remarks, he also contacted all kinds of rumors about Zhao Cheng having an affair with the bandits.
And most importantly, He Zhi is Wang Fu's backstage. Wang Fu spared no effort to say a lot of bad things about Zhao Cheng in private.
From the perspective of human nature, He Zhi is really not stupid. Of course he knows that Wang Fu is trying to provoke his thoughts, but what he has no choice is that this situation is the basis of the party and the masses in this year. As a faction leader, even if he knows that his younger brother is deliberately causing trouble, he sometimes must support him, otherwise no one will follow him.
After thinking through these things, He Zhi could only show his authority and waved his hand and said, "Zhao Cheng, if you want me to see this trip, don't go. Although you have not made any achievements in the near future, you are very hard-working. It's good to put down your work and take a break. For military issues, it's time to hand them over to General Qin Ming, who has more experience in military affairs, for the time being."
Cai Wenji looked at this and that, but she didn't intervene in speaking.
Zhao Cheng had a dark face and did not have an attack, because this occasion was useless and would instead cheat many people.
Just like nature changes in the weather and sunshine all seasons, the politics is similar, and it will change repeatedly. For example, one minute ago, Zhao Cheng promised Huang Wenbing not to kill Dong Ping, but when he turned around and went out, he launched a unparalleled criticism meeting for the national sages, and with the help of public opinion, he killed them.
Now that Huang Wenbing has not all turned against him, there has been a sway on his route. Zhao Cheng was united by them, and the unofficial undercover is basically confirmed.
"What, I can't give them the only imperial guards that can be barely used after integration."
Thinking of this, Zhao Cheng was still thinking: What is certain is that once the command power is taken away, the problem in Chizhou will be very serious, and the Bai Chenxiang tribe is also facing great danger.
"Don't Lord Zhao understand if I am so simple?"
He Zhi narrowed his eyes again and looked at Zhao Cheng.
This situation made Qin Ming very excited to lick his lips. He has been suppressed and has been unsuccessful since entering Chizhou. Now, seeing that the political situation has changed, it is possible that he really gained command to make a name for himself, so he became excited.
Zhao Cheng hesitated for a while and said irrelevantly: "I understand Lord He's words. The problem is, are you suggesting or ordering? Please give me a clear answer."
"you……"
He Zhi was a little embarrassed. He knew that Zhao Cheng was going to play tricks, and there was no real jurisdiction. Huang Wenbing was reserved and did not make an official decision, so he could only be an unspoken rule and a psychological confrontation. It mainly depends on whether Zhao Cheng gave him face or not.
There were too many people in front of him, and He Zhi didn't dare to say anything to death. He raised his hand and pointed at Zhao Cheng's nose and said, "What's wrong with you? Tell you about the world and tell me. Now it's my official and General Qin accused you of dividing the army. Where do you want to take this last elite? What's the purpose? It's against the will of heaven. Isn't it just a great thing to make a contribution in the stream and mountains?"
Seeing He Zhi's attitude, Zhao Cheng understood that although there was no formal order, the command power could not be maintained. As long as it lasted for two rounds without a result, the imperial guards who were finally trained like a good person would be deposed. Even if there was no formal order, they would not dare to follow Zhao Cheng.
So Zhao Cheng remained calm on the surface, and took advantage of the opportunity to stand with Bi Shijing and wrote quickly on Bi Shijing's back: "You are a soldier, and obeying orders is the duty. My Zhao Cheng's military command was concluded at the Second Chizhou Plenary Session, and only three Chizhou Plenary Sessions can be denied. No matter what He Zhi and Qin Ming said now, remember, they have no jurisdiction, they are not talking about military orders."
Bi Shijing's expression became strange.
Then he wrote: "The orders for the formation are as follows: First, after I find an excuse to take Qin Ming, Cai Wenji, He Zhi and others away, your troops will immediately set off to hide near Yangshan Mountain. Let the Ghost Foot Seven be in your army, and he will communicate with Bai Chenxiang. Your two steps will be interdependent. After that, your troops will officially enter the state of free combat "will be outside". Remember, unless they are caught by Huang Wenbing and the emperor themselves, you may not accept other orders according to law. Second, when encountering major decision-making issues, remember to communicate with Bai Chenxiang, mainly based on her opinions, and his words are mine."
"The above two points determine the fate of Chizhou. If you don't want to destroy the last imperial guards, just follow this and don't have any concerns. First of all, Cai You likes to maintain stability. Secondly, you are the Wuwei Army after all. Even if you don't give He Zhi face, as long as you don't lose the war in the end, Huang Wenbing will naturally protect you even for himself. Lastly, things at the political level have nothing to do with you, that's He Zhi, Huang Wenbing, Cai You, and my problem. In terms of fighting, I have never been afraid of anyone, even if the sky falls, I will definitely help you withstand it. You and Bai Chenxiang are responsible for winning the battle and repaying me."
Bi Shijing hesitated for a while, nodded slightly with a very strange expression, indicating that she had received Zhao Cheng's "secret order".
That's good, Chizhou is still saved, and Zhao Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Otherwise, Zhao Cheng would immediately resign and take Jia Xiao and Bai Chenxiang's troops to escape into Jiuhua Mountain, allowing them to fight for themselves.
"Mr. Zhao, do you understand He Zhi's words?"
Qin Ming said excitedly again.
"I heard it."
Zhao Cheng hesitated and said, "Mr. He, General Qin, can I use a step to speak? I want to share some private news with you?"
After all, the scholar Zhao Cheng was a little puzzled. He Zhi hesitated for a moment and was curious about what he was going to say. Anyway, he would not change the situation after delaying for a while, so he agreed.
However, there are rumors that Zhao Cheng was a ruthless man who liked to violate the law and discipline. He Zhi was worried and gave Qin Ming a wink, meaning that Qin Ming would bring the Xiang Jun who followed him.
In this way, Zhao Cheng left the Ghost Foot Seven in Bi Shijing's army, and then took Chen Hao and others to walk away.
I walked and walked away, and went further and further.
"Have you arrived?"
