Zheng Sen had seen Liu Wenbing's unusual skills before, so he had been peeping in secret.
At this moment, I couldn't help but be shocked when I saw that the other party not only called himself "my father", but also openly accused him of being arrogant and domineering.
But when he saw Jin Xuan's awkward expression, he felt enlightened.
So he bowed respectfully to Liu Wenbing first, and then replied in a neither humble nor overbearing manner: "My lord, you have misunderstood me."
"When the general comes with his troops this time, Master Shi, the Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, has appointed the general Zhao Xin, Colonel, in order to facilitate the general's actions."
"Relevant documents will be submitted directly to the cabinet by the Nanjing Ministry of War. Maybe you have been fighting abroad and haven't..."
Liu Wenbing just criticized Zheng Sen just to test him.
At this moment, seeing that he responded politely and counterattacked with restraint, and saw Jin Xuan's surprised look on his face, he knew that Zheng Sen was not a domineering and reckless man.
Liu Wenbing didn't speak after Zheng Sen finished speaking, but just looked at him coldly.
Until Zheng Sen looked surprised in the silence, Liu Wenbing suddenly shouted: "Since you have a military position, you should know that there can only be one voice among the three armies, and that is the commander's order!"
"You are just a captain. Not only are you good at delivering military orders, but you also dare to humiliate the commander. Do you know your crime?"
When Zheng Sen heard this, a ray of anger flashed in his eyes, and then he bowed and said: "I would like to report to the Duke, the reason why the last general..."
"Captain Zheng, military orders are like mountains, do you understand?"
Liu Wenbing asked loudly with a cold face.
When Zheng Sen heard the angry shouts, he stared at Liu Wenbing closely with a pair of hawk-like eyes, and a look of displeasure gradually appeared on his face.
You must know that he is a proud and arrogant master. He has always been the only one to teach others, but he has never been shouted at so angrily by others.
The reason why he stayed with Smiley just now was because he felt that his previous actions were a bit excessive, so he acted against his will.
Seeing Liu Wenbing being so ruthless at this moment, the suppressed anger immediately emerged.
However, his move also annoyed the two guards behind Liu Wenbing. Both of them bowed slightly, holding the handle of the knife tightly with their right hands, staring at Zheng Sen eagerly.
As soon as Liu Wenbing gave the order, they would fly over and kill Zheng Sen.
Jin Xuan on the side frowned when he saw this situation.
After asking Li Guozhen for help with his eyes to no avail, he shook his head slightly at Zheng Sen, signaling that the other party should stop being rude.
Unexpectedly, after Zheng Sen saw his actions, not only did he not show weakness, but he also exuded a fierce murderous aura.
Liu Wenbing's face sank when he saw this.
Then he slowly stepped forward and released the aura from him.
You must know that Liu Wenbing has been in a high position all year round, and he already has the pressure of a superior person.
Coupled with the bloody fighting these days, it added an iron-blooded murderous aura.
When these two auras merged together and emitted, the people around him immediately felt a chill.
Even Li Guozhen, who had always thought highly of himself, was surprised at this time and no longer dared to compete with Liu Wenbing.
Although Zheng Sen was far away, because he was the target of Liu Wenbing's attack, he was under greater pressure than everyone else.
However, he has a strong nature and is unwilling to admit defeat.
Therefore, he gritted his teeth, forcibly controlled his slightly trembling body, and stared at Liu Wenbing without retreating.
But even though he was feeling extremely uncomfortable at the moment, there was still a trace of joy in his heart.
"Colonel Zheng, what are you doing?"
At this time, Tian Shuying walked out of the cabin and asked coldly.
Liu Wenbing was shocked when he saw Tian Shuying's appearance at such a coincidence.
However, he knew that etiquette was the most important thing in Chongzhen, so he hurriedly restrained his pressure and was about to salute Tian Shuying, but he heard Tian Shuying's voice again: "Okay, don't be stunned, hurry up and follow the supervisor to listen to Duke An Guo's speech." Give instructions so as not to miss the battle!"
Liu Wenbing was stunned when he heard Tian Shuying calling herself "Supervisor of the Army" and couldn't help but think highly of her.
At this time, Zheng Sen was sweating profusely and his legs were shaking slightly.
Upon seeing this, Huang Ting was about to step forward to help him, but unexpectedly, he pushed him away and stubbornly moved forward on trembling legs.
Upon seeing this, Liu Wenbing smiled slightly and then slowly walked towards the cabin.
After a while, Tian Shuying, Zheng Sen and others were all seated in the lobby of the cabin.
Liu Wenbing sat upright and glanced at everyone.
Seeing doubts in everyone's eyes, he explained that Jin Xuan replaced him on the grounds that the previous war was peaceful and he wanted to assist Zhu Yuanzhang in handling Shanxi and other matters.
When the generals heard this, they all looked surprised.
On the contrary, Zheng Sen looked calm and looked at Liu Wenbing curiously.
It turned out that not long after Jin Xuan, Zheng Sen, Zhang Huangyan and others went to sea, Zheng and Zhang discovered that Jin Xuan lacked the iron blood and heroic spirit of a soldier, and they couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Later, when they discussed specific combat details with Jin Xuan, they found that although Jin Xuan's insights were unique, they were mostly those of a scholar and did not have much practical experience.
Especially when it was necessary to adapt measures to local conditions, Jin Hyun was more hesitant and almost did not dare to go beyond the previously formulated plan.
When Zheng Sen saw this, he thought that Liu Wenbing was a man who got things done because of others, but actually did not have much talent and learning, and he couldn't help but feel contemptuous in his heart.
After Zhang Huangyan discovered Zheng Sen's strange behavior, he quietly reminded him not to be presumptuous.
Although Zheng Sen has restrained himself since then, due to his nature, he often behaves in a disrespectful manner unconsciously.
However, Jin Hyun actually tolerated this situation and did not reprimand him.
On the contrary, Tian Shuying took the opportunity to hit Zheng Sen several times. Seeing that he refused to change despite repeated admonitions, and his transgressions were not serious, she said nothing more after that.
However, during the Battle of Phi Island, Jin Hyun's weakness of lack of actual combat was completely exposed.
If Zheng Sen had not been flexible and adaptable at that time, I am afraid that they would have lost at least four to five thousand people in that battle.
After this incident, Zheng Sen became more and more dissatisfied with Jin Xuan, and gradually showed a domineering attitude during the subsequent Pidao War.
Zhang Huangyan was afraid that Zheng Sen would cause trouble, so he persuaded him again. At the same time, he also told him that Jin Xuan might not be An Guogong, so he must be careful in his words and deeds.
When Zheng Sen heard this, he was very happy and hurriedly asked Zhang Huangyan the reason.
Zhang Huangyan first said that Jin Xuan looked different from the Liu Wenbing he had met, and then pointed out that if Liu Wenbing was incompetent, Zhu Yuanzhang would never let him lead his troops to relieve the siege of Baoding.
Because such a battle is extremely dangerous and is definitely not a place for melee combat skills, Zhang Huangyan believes that Liu Wenbing should be a person with real talents and practical knowledge.
The reason why such a situation occurs now is that Liu Wenbing was restrained by the war situation in Shanxi, and a general was needed to go north, so he asked people to act under his name and buy time for him.
After listening to Zhang Huangyan's analysis, Zheng Sen agreed with it and suggested testing Jin Xuan.
Zhang Huangyan's original intention was to get Zheng Sen to restrain his behavior, but he naturally refused to agree to his suggestion.
However, Zheng Sen told Zhang Huangyan sternly that his move was not out of curiosity or greed for military success, but for Xia Wanchun.
Because if they don't figure this out, it's a trivial matter to have no military exploits, but if they can't fulfill their promise to Zhu Yuanzhang and kill Xia Wanchun because of their lack of military exploits, then they will never redeem themselves.
Zhang Huangyan already felt guilty for Xia Wanchun, but after hearing this, he agreed.
So after some discussion, the two of them decided to test Jin Xuan by dividing their troops.
Because this move can test Jin Xuan's ability, and then they can lead the army independently. Even if Jin Xuan is greedy for merit, they can use this military exploit to rescue Xia Wanchun.
When the two of them proposed to Jin Xuan to divide their forces to attack the Jurchen Navy, Jin Xuan refused at first.
However, under Zheng Sen's repeated insistence and even threats, Jin Hyun finally agreed to their plan.
After this test, although they did not completely confirm their suspicions, they felt much relieved.
