Not to mention that after He Zhang left, he went to the camp of Zhanbing New Army to dispatch troops, but it was said that after Zhao Junchen finished discussing with everyone, he just returned to the study and was about to continue handling official business, when he saw Niu Fude pushing the door open and saying that it was Guyuan. Wang Jing, a thousand households in the military town, asked to see him.
Since Xu Qingyan left Huamachiying to "do business" in Suide County, Niu Fude has been responsible for Zhao Junchen's chores.
After hearing Niu Fude's report, Zhao Junchen was thoughtful, as if he had guessed something, and then nodded: "Let him come in."
Wang Jing is a close confidant of Fang Zhenshan, the commander-in-chief of Guyuan Army Town. Two days ago, he led more than 4,500 Guyuan elite soldiers to Huamachi Camp and joined Zhao Junchen's new army of soldiers.
Guyuan Military Town donated more than 4,500 private soldiers at one go. This was the largest reinforcement Zhao Junchen had received since he established the new army of soldiers. Guyuan Military Town said that more than 2,000 elite soldiers would follow later. So, it can be said that Guyuan Military Town definitely supports Zhao Junchen.
At the same time, after Wang Jing led his troops to Huamachi Camp, he did not return to Guyuan Military Town. Instead, he stayed with the new war soldiers. Before that, the major military towns supported the new war soldiers. In practice, most of them only contributed a few hundred-household military attachés, and Wang Zheng became the only one among the new army of warriors.
Because of this, after Wang Jing came to Huamachi Camp, not only was his official rank second only to He Zhang, but he also had the largest number of troops under his command. He became the second-in-command of the new warrior army, and his status was second only to the coach He Zhang.
Of course, the intention of Guyuan Military Town to support Zhao Junchen so strongly is not simple. To a large extent, it is just to suppress He Zhang!
Guyuan Military Town has been suppressing He Zhang in the past few years, and has repeatedly stolen He Zhang's military achievements. The two sides are at odds with each other, and there is no room for reconciliation. Seeing Zhao Junchen begin to reuse He Zhang, and even recruit new soldiers After being handed over to He Zhang, anyone with a discerning eye can see that He Zhang will definitely become a very important figure in Shaanxi and Gansu in the future! Guyuan Military Town was worried that they would suffer revenge from He Zhang in the future, so they strongly supported Zhao Junchen's new war soldiers. In addition to making good friends with Zhao Junchen, they also expanded Guyuan Military Town's influence on the new war soldiers. In this way When He Zhang retaliates against Guyuan Military Town in the future, Guyuan Military Town will also have the ability to resist. When necessary, they can even hinder He Zhang within the new warrior army, preventing He Zhang from successfully reaping military success. That way If so, He Zhang will not be able to threaten them in the future!
Zhao Junchen was naturally very aware of Fang Zhenshan's little thoughts.
Zhao Junchen also has some thoughts about He Zhang, but the top priority now is still the Mongolian invasion. Zhao Junchen still needs He Zhang's ability to lead troops. This is not the time to deal with him.
Therefore, after Wang Jing led his troops to the Huamachi Camp, Zhao Junchen showed a polite attitude and even appointed Wang Jing as the deputy general of the new war army, but he did not give Wang Jing any real power and refused to let him go. Wang Jing intervened in the actual affairs of the new Zhan Bing Army, only to keep Wang Jing in the Governor's Mansion to prevent Wang Jing from making small moves that would affect the overall situation.
And He Zhang's movements were also extremely fast. In just two days, he completely dismantled the reinforcements in Guyuan Military Town and divided more than 4,500 Guyuan elite soldiers into various battalions. In this way, Wang Jing There won't be any big waves.
Wang Jing asked to see Zhao Junchen today. He must have heard the news that He Zhang was about to lead his troops to leave Huamachi Camp. In this way, he became the top general of the new civil war army in Huamachi Camp, so he wanted to find out. Look at Zhao Junchen's tone and see if he has a chance to change his situation.
Just as Zhao Junchen secretly deduced Wang Jing's purpose, a middle-aged military attaché stepped into the study.
This person has a handsome appearance, is quite magnanimous in his movements, and has a gentle and polite expression, which makes it easy for people to like him.
Perhaps it is because Fang Zhenshan, the commander-in-chief of Guyuan Town, is a literati who joined the army. Most of the generals in Guyuan Military Town have a certain elegant temperament. In this regard, He Zhang, a veteran on the battlefield, has never had the curvy heart of a scholar, and is favored by Exclusion is also a matter of course.
It's a pity that although the generals in Guyuan Military Town are familiar with hundreds of books on weekdays and talk endlessly about the art of war and military strategy, when they actually go to the battlefield, they still can only rely on He Zhang's "rude methods" .
After Wang Jing came to Zhao Junchen, he first bowed politely and said hello, and then asked cautiously: "Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy, I have just received news that General He is about to lead troops to Yulin Military Town for business... In this way , the new army of soldiers in Huamachi Camp has no one to take charge of the overall situation! Not to mention the new army of soldiers who stayed at Huamachi Camp, reinforcements from all over the country will still come to Huamachi in a steady stream during this period. When a battalion joins the new army, someone will always need to be responsible for these things... and after all, the humble position is the deputy general of the new army. You can't stay idle all the time. Look, my lord, the imperial commissioner..."
Zhao Junchen took a deep look at Wang Jing, his eyes full of insight.
Seeing Zhao Junchen's gaze, Wang Jing lowered his head subconsciously, not daring to look at Zhao Junchen. A trace of disappointment flashed across his expression, thinking that Zhao Junchen was still leaving him alone.
But at this moment, Zhao Junchen suddenly said: "What you said makes sense. The new army of soldiers left behind in Huamachi Camp, as well as the continuous reinforcements coming from various places, always need someone to be responsible for arranging them. We can't After leaving He Zhang, let all the affairs of the new war soldiers be put on hold... In this case, after General He leads the troops and leaves the Huamachi camp, you can temporarily take over the affairs of the new war soldiers. "
Wang Jing was already disappointed, but after hearing Zhao Junchen's decision, he was overjoyed and quickly assured Zhao Junchen: "Please rest assured, your Majesty, the imperial envoy, he is also good at military training in his humble position, and he is also good at military training among the generals in Guyuan Military Town. It is considered one of the best, and in the next period of time, I will definitely replace General He and train a strong army for the Imperial Envoy!"
Zhao Junchen nodded noncommittally and said in a meaningful tone: "Now, the framework and main force of the new warrior army have been determined. Subsequent reinforcements only need to be gradually integrated, which is much easier than in previous days. And your task is to follow the rules step by step, so that there won't be too many twists and turns... In short, just concentrate on training and don't always have your own thoughts. This is your chance to prove yourself. Don't let me down. "
Wang Jing quickly nodded in agreement and promised emphatically: "I dare to assure you, Lord Imperial Envoy, that the training results of Beizhi will not be worse than General He!"
Then, seeing that Zhao Junchen was relatively easy to talk to this time, Wang Jing hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously again: "However, I still have to ask more, what is your attitude towards Commander Fang's proposal, the Imperial Envoy? It’s not that I have any thoughts. Now I just want to concentrate on training for the Imperial Envoy. It’s just that after I understand your true thoughts, the Imperial Envoy, I can be confident when doing things in the future!"
It turned out that after Wang Jing led his troops to Huamachi Camp two days ago, he immediately asked to see Zhao Junchen alone and handed Zhao Junchen a secret letter. This secret letter was written by Fang Zhenshan, the commander-in-chief of Guyuan. He listed in detail many reasons why He Zhang could not be reused, saying that He Zhang was arrogant, stubborn, unruly, unruly, etc., and Fang Zhenshan also promised Zhao Junchen that as long as Zhao Junchen no longer reuses He Zhang, Guyuan Army Town will not be able to reuse him in the future. He will also unconditionally support Zhao Junchen and help Zhao Junchen completely control the overall situation of Shaanxi and Gansu.
At this time, Wang Jing's inquiry was naturally about this matter.
Zhao Junchen was still noncommittal and said slowly: "Now, the most important thing is to repel the threat of the Mongols! If this year's intruders become uncontrollable, both I and General Fang will be punished by the court. On the contrary, if we achieve brilliant results, everyone will benefit! And the key to all this is the new army of soldiers! He Zhang is indeed a general with real ability. Before the end of this year's war, I will not only He will never allow anyone to restrain him, but will give him full support... I say this, do you understand?"
After hearing Zhao Junchen's answer, Wang Jing was stunned for a moment, and then his face lit up with joy.
Zhao Junchen said a lot, but the real key was only half a sentence, and that was "before this year's war ends"!
Before this year's war ends, Zhao Junchen will reuse He Zhang, protect He Zhang, and support He Zhang, but what about after this year's war ends?
Thinking of this, Wang Jing nodded repeatedly and promised: "I hope your Majesty the Imperial Envoy can rest assured that before the end of this year's war, I will definitely support General He Zhang and will never have any different intentions. Everything will focus on this year's war!"
While speaking, Wang Jing also emphasized the words "before the war ends this year."
Zhao Junchen smiled softly and said: "As long as you understand! Go and do things, don't let me down! While He Zhang leaves Huamachi Camp, all the affairs of the new Zhanbing Army will be left to you!"
He Zhang didn't know that while he was working loyally for Zhao Junchen, Zhao Junchen had already thought about when to abandon him!
This has nothing to do with good or evil. Who made He Zhang more loyal to the court?
And just when Zhao Junchen and Guyuan Military Town reached a tacit agreement, Xu Qingyan also started taking action in Suide County, nearly a thousand miles away!
