Zhao Cheng's answer also seemed a bit bureaucratic, which made people feel uncomfortable. But given that he hadn't missed it once for the time being and was too powerful, Bi Shijing didn't dare to say anything more.

Zhao Cheng saw his expression and basically guessed his thoughts.

How could he bring this thought to Yangshan? Zhao Cheng looked very regretful and said again, "Everyone has difficulties. As I said at the beginning, I am really not a god. On some key issues, don't just want to listen to good things, and don't just think of a word to solve them when you encounter problems."

"I am very attentive to this issue and will do my best. But to be honest, there are many things that I can't get as much as I want. So I won't lie to you on this issue and can't give you blind confidence. In other words, in the current situation, with the intention of seeking truth from facts, you and Bai Chenxiang must consider taking another corresponding route without food."

Bi Shijing was a little dizzy when she heard this, "Sir, this seems to be a tough guy. How can we do it? Now we are stationed together, Bai Chenxiang and the two thousand old, weak and disabled, come to share the military rations of our two battalions. This is equivalent to sharing one portion of food for five people, and they are shrouded in the dark clouds of war. When winter comes?"

Zhao Cheng thought for a while and said, "On the premise of seeking truth from facts, I believe that the good side of this matter is that it can increase the degree of military-civilian integration. At least, the people of Bai Chenxiang's tribe will regain their confidence in the shattered army. Some things are useless to say with their mouths. Only in the situation of the same suffering and difficulties can they experience each other."

Then again, "There is a point where you believe me and don't lower your attitude and value. The army without the support of the people is useless and will not win the war. Now, when we have no other way, it just turns into an opportunity, that is, the opportunity to integrate your division and the Baichenxiang Division."

Bi Shijing was still a little dizzy, "Sir, you... don't want to mix Bai Chenxiang's battle headquarters into my command, right? Our headquarters is an imperial guard, and the military system is a red line. It is held in the hands of the commander of the Gaodu, the commander of the three yamen halls. Even if Mr. Huang Wenbing supports you, you will not be able to touch it."

Zhao Cheng said lightly: "Not touching. It is not about giving her department to your commander. In fact, I want to apply the principle of off-the-scene arbitrary behavior that will be outside and let your department accept Bai Chenxiang's command. Her image and her power in Yangshan are unquestionable. In this way, in addition to sharing food for them, they can also feel the concept of "family". Then with Bai Chenxiang's command and the support of the people, you will definitely have a way out and will be able to persevere until the end and stick to your mission."

Bi Shijing couldn't help but open her mouth halfway.

Zhao Cheng stopped him in advance, "If there are other ways, I will not rush to let you merge. I cannot explain more and more mysterious things. There is only one thing, in fact, I have not missed it once. Suppose you are willing to believe me this time, accept Bai Chenxiang's command sincerely, and merge, and you can win the final war."

Bi Shijing was anxious and sweating profusely, "But my army is an imperial guard, after all..."

Zhao Cheng waved his hand and said, "After all, it's a jerk! I have repeatedly emphasized that I will not be ordered and set rules and limit your bureaucrats will not allow you to win this war. What will they do? They will restrict you from making trouble for you so that you can take the blame after you are defeated and then calm the public anger."

"History has never been gentle, that's it. General Di Qing has been in battle for the Song Dynasty more than 40 times in his life, almost a hundred battles, and has the support of the emperor, but what is his ending? Please remember that he was still in the clearest period of our dynasty's administration. This is history."

"If you believe that I am a responsible person, since I have 'secretly authorized it outside', I will definitely be responsible for it. I will win this war, and of course it goes without saying that if you win, it means justice. After you win, all the fire will be extinguished. Even if I am really wrong, I will correct my mistakes in time. I will also bear the responsibility of greatness. My responsibility is to relieve your worries. Your responsibility is to obey my commands and firmly respect the mission when I am not wrong. This mission is to win the Battle of Chizhou and protect the people of Chizhou."

Finally, Zhao Cheng said again, "A more simple and straightforward explanation is: When you go to war, I will take the blame. Isn't it simple?"

Bi Shijing almost fainted!

But to be honest, I am really used to him. Bai Chenxiang is very sure that this scholar's magic is magical, and always likes to talk serious nonsense. Bai Chenxiang's suggestion is: Before proving his mistake, believe him this time and you will definitely not disappoint you.

In another case, Bi Shijing would not do anything that a royal imperial guard general temporarily obeyed the command of someone suspected of bandits. The problem is that since these times, after his encounter with him, Bi Shijing has been impressed by this scholar to a certain extent. Zhao Cheng is indeed a person who can act and dares to take responsibility. Such a person is trustworthy.

From the beginning, he took the taboo to kill dozens of Dong Ping and others, and took justice for Zhou En, who died unjustly. From then on, in the Lingyang Mountain incident, he turned a blind eye to resigning from his official position and hanging seals, and saved Qin Ming and took the blame.

Bi Shijing didn't know how the bureaucrats interpreted these things, but at the grassroots level, especially in the hearts of soldiers, Zhao Cheng was undoubtedly extremely positive and almost mythical, and reached a point where he could not be doubted.

Bi Shijing continued to think: In the Battle of Xishan, Bai Chenxiang fought very well and was extremely powerful in more than 100 elderly, weak, sick and disabled people. It can even be said that the Wuwei Army that survived now was saved by her.

And during this period, he was deployed in Yangshan and had a lot of contact with Bai Chenxiang. Bi Shijing also learned many of her advantages and respectable aspects. She was not unfamiliar with her and had some admiration.

"The last general... is willing to obey my husband's abnormal arrangements and sincerely accept Bai Chenxiang's command."

Bi Shijing, who finally figured it out, knelt on the ground at this military salute.

Zhao Cheng then breathed a sigh of relief, which could be considered a long-lasting problem. The food shortage is indeed very serious at the moment, and Zhao Cheng cannot deal with it for the time being. If it were someone else, it would be like to kneel down, but Bai Chenxiang carried the system halo of a bunker: the worse the situation, the more her morale and cohesion would gradually reach a high decisive battle posture!

The fact that appointing the official army to a female bandit command seemed very fantastic, but Zhao Chengzhen did it. It was because he had accumulated enough character before this. Through the Zhou En incident, the Qin Ming incident, and the past encounters with them, Bi Shijing finally chose to "Believe in you this time, and I won't believe in you next time."

Otherwise, it would be terrible to think about it. When Zhao Cheng could not resolve the food conflict, Bi Shijing once drew a clear line and did not share military rations with Yangshan, and became hostile to each other. Based on Bai Chenxiang's natural anti-official gene, perhaps before she had a decisive battle with Wang Xiu, she and Bi Shijing beat each other up on Huang Wenbing's table. That would be so good and would become a joke for the whole world.

Only Zhao Cheng can suppress Bi Shijing's army and complete this seemingly impossible fusion task.

Only by integrating and relying on the cohesion of Bai Chenxiang can we solve the current morale crisis!

After saying this, Bi Shijing, who was originally here to invite food, should go back since she hadn't invited her. The matter about the imperial guards accepting Bai Chenxiang's command is not just a single sentence, but there is still a lot of early and late work to be done.

Even if it is not organized, it is difficult to convince brothers to follow Bai Chenxiang's pace of doing things.

Before leaving, Bi Shijing asked again with a strange look, "Sir, Bai Chenxiang asked Mo to bring you a word. She asked if you would go to the village to visit her in this cold winter?"

Zhao Cheng raised his hand to cover his face, "If I could get a batch of winter supplies as soon as possible, I would send them there. But if I had no shame to see people with empty hands, especially now I wanted the horse to run for me and didn't eat grass for the horse, I would blush."

"this……"

Bi Shijing was a little embarrassed, "So, do you want to write a letter?"

"I won't write it anymore, just bring my original words to her. Now your department will no longer accept my command and listen to Bai Chenxiang's. I will not make combat suggestions to Bai Chenxiang's department at will. Everything is based on her own judgment. It is divided into two lines to deal with each other, and exchange information and interdependently. This is the combat program for the next period of time."

Zhao Cheng nodded slightly, "Go, don't delay any more. Be low-key at this time, you can't appear in Chizhou again. To prevent the political situation from changing and trapping your troops to lose the war."

Bi Shijing clasped her fists solemnly and left quickly.

Afterwards, Zhao Cheng hurried to the official residence of the chief clerk Zhu Xiao to communicate with him about the issue of the grain warehouse in Guichi County.

This is destined to be an irreconcilable contradiction that is destined to send faces to the countryside.

In this hall in winter, Zhu Xiao was wrapped in a tiger-skinned cloak and stared at Zhao Cheng with a cold attitude for a long time. Finally, he spoke, "Isn't Lord Zhao busy coordinating the issue of war? It seems that you are very idle, have not confronted the bandits, and are still staying in the city to keep warm all day?"

Zhao Cheng was not here to quarrel, so he ignored it and waited for him to continue talking.

After looking at each other for a while, Zhu Xiao twisted his beard, "Mr. Zhao must have come to the door only if he has something to do. Could it be that he wants to interfere in the business of the chief clerk?"

Zhao Cheng clasped his fists and said, "I know that Zhu Zhu's master can be very capable. Now I urgently need a large amount of food and food. I would like to ask the chief clerk to give me some advice. Can those families in Chizhou City provide convenience?"

Zhu Xiao snorted, without a positive response, but was quite proud. The implication is that you are right, they really acted according to my Zhu family's expression.

"But I don't know where Lord Zhao wants these food supplies?"

Finally, Zhu Xiao asked this question in particular.

Zhao Cheng hesitated for a while and did not answer.

Zhu Xiao smiled slightly, "I understand, do you want to supply Bai Chenxiang? You said a while ago that she was a civilian rather than a bandit. Anyway, you are ruthless. Dong Ping and others who hold opposition rhetoric have all been silenced by you. So now I don't want to talk about these issues with you."

After a pause, Zhu Xiao said expressionlessly: "I won't talk about what is right and what is wrong for the time being, and someone will talk to you in the future. Now, my official answers to you as follows: The special period of time is indeed a special item for the people. I have this part of the grain in my warehouse, so how much does it cost to worry about. But the premise is that if I want me, Zhu Xiao, believe that they are people, then let them demolish the parcel, put down their arms and disband, and gather like others to come outside Guichi County, and there will be porridge, otherwise there will be no."

"Isn't it simple?" Zhu Xiao said last.

Zhao Cheng was not in a hurry to get angry, blinking his eyes and said, "The Battle of the Streams proves their usefulness. If it is disbanded, how will this war be resolved?"

Zhu Xiao raised the precious tea and took a sip, and said carelessly: "I am just a little chief clerk. War is your Lord Zhao's problem, not my problem. Don't confuse the public. This is a nice and objective answer. The ugly version is: She has the credit for the Battle of Xishan and that's just you. Those who know the information are like Dong Ping and others were killed by you, and the rest are all your people. So where does the truth come from? Who cares about the truth?"

Zhao Cheng smiled slightly, "Since there is no truth, since you don't care about the truth, it's even simpler. If you succeed, the king will lose, and Bai Chenxiang and I won, we are just, aren't we?"

Zhu Xiao patted his legs and laughed, "That's right. But since this is the case, it's your problem, this war is not yours. Zhu Xiao. No matter whether you have merits, demerits or difficulties, you can just bear it yourself. Don't transfer the problems to me."

He also said that Zhao Cheng, who had always had an explosive temper and was eager to take revenge, was about to attack, but what surprised Zhu Xiao was: Zhao Cheng didn't say a word, and he bowed and left without expressing his joys and anger.

"Strange... He was not fooled. Wang Fu's judgment of him seemed to be becoming more and more inaccurate. What was he doing?"
