Chapter 116: On meritorious deeds and seeking a way out
"Come on!" The prime minister Yanei saw Zheng Tu come in, so he hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Zheng Tu's arm and laughed, "Cheng Zhonglang is the most important person, so he should be the master!" After that, he wanted to take Zheng Tu to sit on the master's seat and stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
Zheng Tu hurriedly resigned and said, "I dare not deserve the first merit. This is because my husband commanded properly and planned to defeat the Xia people. How dare Zheng Tu take the merit?" After saying that, he refused again and again. Mr. Zhong could not do so, so he had to sit next to him.
In this battle, all the troops in the northwest have made contributions and each received rewards. At the end, Zhong Shidao said to Zheng Tu: "In this battle, Cheng Zhonglang first set up a plan and lured the Xia people into the city to get into the city before he could win. Moreover, when the Xia people fled, they sent troops in time and attacked each other on both sides, and finally destroyed more than 70,000 Xia troops in Weicheng."
"This is the responsibility of the subordinates, and they dare not take credit for it." Zheng Tu said hurriedly.
"It's okay, you will be rewarded if you have any merits." Zhong Shidao laughed and said, "Now I have submitted a report to the court to seek the rank of Wuyi Doctor for Cheng Zhonglang. Because of my military position in Weizhou, I also submitted a report to you, and I will be the chief supervisor of Weizhou to you. So you and I will become a family in the future. How good is it?"
Zheng Tu was stunned. He had no idea about the official positions of the Song Dynasty. He heard that Wuyi and Weizhou Chief Supervisor were a little confused. Gong Zhao, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but smile and said, "This Wuyi Chief Supervisor is the seventh rank, the Wusan official, and Weizhou Chief Supervisor is the eighth rank, and is the chief military commander of Weicheng, and is the actual position of border defense investigation."
Zheng Tu suddenly realized it and thought to himself: This kind of teacher is not kind, isn't he trying to take away my Zheng family soldiers? He thought about it secretly and smiled: "How dare you reward me with a small amount of merit? You can only receive the seventh-rank Wuyi doctor. I really don't dare to take this position as a chief minister."
"Oh?" Seeing Zheng Tu so bluntly rejecting him, Master Zhong couldn't help but feel funny and said, "How come you dare not take it?"
Zheng Tu hurriedly said, "When my Zheng family army was established, it was just a duty to protect the country and the land. If I had become the chief supervisor, I didn't know who would take the Zheng family army? If the Zheng family army was allowed to join the hands of my husband, I would naturally be relieved, but who would protect the completeness of my Zheng family village?"
Zhong Shidao was shocked. This guy obviously made his words clear. He could see this plot in his own eyes. He couldn't help but shake his head and smiled, "You are a bachelor, okay, now you are in such a place. Let's see what you think. If you don't take the position of governor, you can keep a thousand soldiers of your Zheng family. It's enough to protect Zheng family. I'm sure that the Xia people suffered a great loss. Even if they are within ten years, they are afraid that they will not be able to attack Weicheng. The surrounding bandits have been wiped out, and they have escaped by chance. After hearing your name, they are too late to escape. How dare you rob the Zhuangzi?"
Zhong Shidao looked at his face and smiled and said, "Your military generals are all promoted to rewards. Even if you are within the eighth rank, you can still be dedicated alone. You can only write a letter of remarks and make a decision!"
Zheng Tu pondered silently, and after a while, he said, "I can't figure it out for a while, so why not reply to my husband tomorrow."
Zhong Shidao nodded and said, "That's good!"
The banquet was held, and the generals were entertained, and orders were sent to reward the three armies. The curfew was lifted in Weizhou City, and the people came out one after another, with lights and colorful drums and music. Although there were people who broke the family, there were also people who were well-placed and homeless. So the city was filled with joy and joy. How could they see the dilapidated scenery after the war?
This is because the Master Zhong was arranged in advance and the people were all placed in advance. The second is that the Xia people attacked the city, which was not protracted and did not cause much damage, so the people suffered extremely little damage. Therefore, this happy scene is also rare.
Zheng Tu had a few cups in a depressed mood and said goodbye. He made great contributions to this battle. His clever design scheme made Li Xiang win the trust of the Xia spies. He pretended to open the city gate and lured the Xia army into the city, so that Zhong Shidao could arrange ambush safely and fight to a certain extent. Wu Er led the Zheng family soldiers to take a risk and close the city gate, which caused the Xia army to be seriously injured and fled in a hurry.
Not only that, his own troops were attacking Zhong Shidao, causing the Xia army to flee in a hurry and die, otherwise how could he win so much? What unexpectedly was that this kind of military command was just a seventh-grade virtual title with his own family, and he also wanted to seize his own troops, which was very hateful.
When he returned to the mansion, he didn't even have time to talk to his wife and so he directly rushed to rush and attracted many generals on the way. Soon, Hu Yansheng, Lin Chong, Wu Er, Li Xiang, Lu Zhishen, Shi Zhong, Shi Tongyi and Wu Zhimin gathered in Zheng Tu's front hall and sat in the main and second place.
"Brothers, today's victory should be a reward, but there is something that I have to tell you to you, so everyone can make an idea!" Zheng Tu didn't want to slap in it, so he said what Zhong Shidao said directly.
"Young Master is talking like this?" Lu Zhishen suddenly widened his eyes and said in surprise, "It is also as loyal as the Sa family before, and has always respected him. How can he do such a thing?"
"Brother, I am not the one who is the bird, and I still go up to Wuling Peak and become my strong man. Now I am serving my brother as the leader of the village. I am not afraid of him coming to suppress these soldiers!" Shi Zhong was even more furious and jumped up and shouted.
"Nonsense, nonsense!" Wu Zhimin shook his head and said, "You are so nonsense, but you are going to get Cheng Zhonglang into injustice. Wouldn't it be a shame for all the heroes and heroes who had admired Cheng Zhonglang before that were heartbroken?"
Hu Yansheng glanced at Shi Zhong and snorted, "Is it a long-term solution to become a bandit?"
Lin Chong nodded and said, "It's better not to mention the matter of losing one's name!"
Zheng Tu nodded and looked at Li Xiang and Wu Er again.
Li Xiang smiled and said, "However my brother decides, I will make a decision. Even if I follow my brother, no matter what I do, I will follow my brother. I have no other intentions!"
Wu Er nodded and said, "This is really true!"
Zheng Tu nodded. He knew that Li Xiang and Wu Er had gathered him when he became rich. Li Xiang endured humiliation and pretended to be an unpleasant situation with him, and was despised by many people. Finally, he won the trust of the Xia people. He finally won the great victory this time. In short, he made great contributions in this battle, but he was willing to say nothing about Zheng Tu, even though he was promoted or abandoned, he was very respectable.
Needless to say, Wu Er is in charge of detectives, he is diligent in doing things, and has no different intentions towards himself. Therefore, no matter what he does, he is the most steadfast supporter.
The rest of the people, like Lu Zhishen, also yearned for the military. They admired the teacher's way, and could not say that they were just thinking of joining the Northwest Army. Needless to say, Lin Chong was determined to win fame and fortune.
Since Shi Zhong and Shi Tongyi and his two brothers were in a similar mood and became brothers, loyalty first and fame second, so the words they said came true.
But how did Wu Zhimin think? Zheng Tu thought about this and couldn't help but look up at Wu Zhimin. This person is talented and knowledgeable, and he is a master of internal affairs, and he is a rare talent. He is just accustomed to pretending to be a ghost and showing off his scheming. However, it is also a great help.
"Mr. Wu has a wonderful method?" Zheng Tu looked at Wu Zhimin and said.
When Wu Zhimin saw Zheng Tu looking over, he couldn't help but nod and smiled, "There are some wonderful methods, but how can Cheng Zhonglang decide?" After that, he took a step forward and saluted Zheng Tu and said, "The people of Xia are not worth worrying about now, but what else is there to worry about in the court now?"
Zheng Tu pondered, and then said to Wu Zhimin: "Is what sir said to be a Liao person?"
Wu Zhimin shook his head and smiled and said, "The Liao people are no longer worth worrying about. When I walked in the Song and Liao areas, I saw that the style of the Liao Kingdom was no longer enough. The people did not want to make progress, the officials did not think about people's livelihood, they were extravagant and exploited endlessly. How could there be any moment of a heroic master? Therefore, I don't have to worry about it!"
"Is it the Khitan Wanyan clan?"
"What Cheng Zhonglang said is very good, but the Khitan has not yet become a climate, and it may be troubled in the future!"
Zheng Tu couldn't help but ponder, looked at Wu Zhimin, and thought to himself: Could this guy already know that Song Jiang and Fang La will cause great trouble if he comes later? Such a person has a unique vision, but he is also a talented person. But why has there never been such a record of such a person in history? After hesitating for a while, he slowly said: "Is it that Mr. Wu refers to Song Jiang, Shandong and Fang La in the southeast?"
Wu Zhimin couldn't help laughing and said, "That's right, that's it! Cheng Zhonglang is indeed worried about the world. Now I am far from the southeast, but it is quite close to the Shandong. Song Jiang occupied mountains, rivers and lakes in Liangshan, Shandong and stood up, taking the banner of advancing the heavens to help the poor, and robbing the rich and helping the poor, but it actually robbed the people of chaos, so many business travelers dare not pass there."
"What's wrong with occupying the mountain and becoming the king?" Shi Zhong couldn't help but shout, "I used to kill the family, so what's wrong?"
"Shut up!" Zheng Tu couldn't help shouting.
Shi Zhong stopped talking in disappointment, and the room refused to accept Wu Zhimin's words.
Wu Zhimin laughed and said, "It's nothing to rob a family, but it's not appropriate for Song Jiang to use the banner of replacing the heavenly path. Besides, he has repeatedly plagued the wealthy families in the surrounding villages and attacked the county towns and hijacked prisoners, which is a taboo for the official family. But how can you tolerate him now and wait for this?"
Zheng Tu nodded. The world knew about this. Besides, there were many news about the sentry detectives trained by Wu Er. Therefore, everyone also understood this matter.
"What if this happens?" Zheng Tu frowned.
Wu Zhimin nodded, then bowed to Zheng Tu and said, "Cheng Zhonglang must know that Grand Master Cai has been afraid of the people of Liangshan for a long time, and he has ordered Grand Marshal Gao Qiu to lead three troops to attack Liangshanpo. How could Cheng Zhonglang miss this great opportunity?"
"What?" Zheng Tu couldn't help but be surprised, "I'll ask someone to attack Liangshan with Gao Qiu?"
