This person is his guide. From now on, the two will be colleagues, and they must be clarified.
Hearing what Zheng Ding said, Zhang Hong couldn't help but be overjoyed. While returning the gift, he said: "I am temporarily the chief secretary of the security team. My lord is the future uncle of the Zhang family."
She is the future uncle of their Zhang family. She is most likely the legitimate daughter of the Zhang family, and may be his Zhang Hong's biological niece.
Zheng Ding looked at Zhang Hong repeatedly. Zhang Hong's appearance was not bad, and he expected that his niece was also good-looking.
Although she could not become the main wife, after Zhao Ping became successful, a concubine or the like was inevitable.
Zhao Ping was obviously very trusting in leaving the security team in his hands.
Zheng Ding nodded and suddenly asked: "If I get to the security team, how will I arrange it?"
This is a bargain.
He is now a minister of Xingyuan Mansion, equivalent to the role of deputy district chief of a special zone.
Zhang Hong took out a letter from Zhao Ping and handed it to Zheng Ding respectfully.
Zheng Ding tore off the paint and opened it. The content of the letter was very simple.
It says this: "It's settled, I know you, there is a place for you in Jintang County."
The tone was very casual, just like talking to an old friend. Zheng Ding was truly moved.
After all, Zhao Ping has no idea of hegemony yet. He lives in Jintang County and can only use Jintang County to replace the future.
He kowtowed respectfully in the direction of Jintang County, where Zhao Ping was located, and said, "My lord, I will follow you forever in this life, and I will never regret it."
Zhang Hong looked at him and bowed respectfully, then nodded. The ceremony must be solemn, otherwise it would be disrespectful.
Later, Zheng Ding and Zhang Hong respectfully met and formally became colleagues.
Zheng Ding suddenly saluted and said, "I am a reduced general. I hope the chief will take good care of me."
Zhang Hong also hurriedly returned the courtesy and said: "I am a scholar, I hope you will take care of me."
The two laughed loudly, each taking what they needed.
Now Zhao Ping's men are divided into four factions. One faction is led by Zhao Yun, Cao Ke, Wang Qiwan and others, the elders of Zhaojiazhuang, who are the oldest.
One faction is the Tonggushan faction headed by He Shude, Dai Shiqian, Chen Bo, Feng Yongcheng, etc. They were formerly horse bandits, so they naturally want to stay together.
One group consists of Wang Dechen's subordinates Zhou Jixun, Xiao Yuwen, Wu Qingshan, Zhou Yong, etc. from Jiading. They are Hu people who have surrendered and need to stay together for warmth.
It can be expected that Zheng Ding, Zhuquejun, Yang Xianshu, etc. will also become a new faction. They are the most recent ones to surrender.
Zhang Hong and Zhang Wei were airborne by Zhao Ping. Although Zhao Ping was suppressing them, the others were dissatisfied with them.
In desperation, brothers Zhang Hong and Zhang Wei reached out to Xi Xing, who was also a scholar.
Although Xi Xing was an old man, because he was a scholar, he was more or less ostracized by the military commanders, so he naturally got closer to them.
Now he is Zheng Ding's guide, and Zheng Ding is a reduced general, so he is naturally grateful to him.
Zheng Ding is no longer a friend, and Zhang Hong's name seems friendly. The two of them need each other, and they have reached an alliance agreement.
There are people in the world who are not only suitable for the imperial court, but also suitable for Zhao Ping's small circle.
Zheng Ding suddenly remembered a question and couldn't help but ask: "What will happen to my family after I come down to Jintang County?"
Zhang Hong said calmly: "This is easy to handle. Wang Dechen's family has been received here from Dadu and is on the way to Jintang."
Zheng Ding was completely relieved now. Not only did Wang Dechen's so-called dead man live in Jintang County, but his family also came to pick him up.
Zhao Ping is indeed worthy of following, not only is he powerful, but he is also considerate.
Rumble, rumble, thousands of cavalrymen came down the mountain together.
Compared with being frightened when he arrived, Zhang Hong had a smooth journey back home.
He goes up the mountain alone, and thousands of people follow him down the mountain.
Going up the mountain is scary, going down the mountain is elated.
Zhang Hong also put on his scribe's scarf again. It was found by a capable soldier named Bamboo Bird.
In fact, it was he who shot Zhang Hong's scribe's scarf, and Zhang Hong also knew this.
Seeing the bamboo bird's archery skills, Zhang Hong felt happy in his heart.
He looked at the soldier with the strange name Bamboo Bird and asked, "Do you want to be my personal soldier?"
Bamboo Bird couldn't help but be overjoyed, this was the superior bookkeeper.
Under the murderous eyes of everyone, he kowtowed respectfully to Zhang Hong and became his personal soldier.
Another soldier named Xingkong Yuanguang looked at Zhang Hong eagerly and shouted boldly, obviously wanting to become his personal soldier.
Zhang Hong thought of going up the mountain to agree to him, and he also took the risk to report the news, so he nodded in agreement.
Zheng Ding, the former official of Xingyuan Mansion, came down the mountain to surrender. Naturally, Yang Yun personally led a group of generals and Xi Xing to greet him.
Xi Xing was naturally happy. This was the first time for their literati to show their talents in front of military commanders.
We literati are not only good at governing, but we also have a share in conquering the world.
Zhao Yun, Zhou Jixun, and Song Fei are obviously completely opposite to Xi Xing in their hearts.
They congratulated each other sourly and discussed among themselves sourly.
"If our own generals had fought tooth and nail to capture Xi County and wiped out nearly 50,000 cavalry, how could the Hu people have surrendered so easily?"
Zhang Hong accepted the congratulations from Zhao Yun and others while observing their embarrassed expressions, not knowing what they were thinking.
Zhang Hong saluted Zhao Yun and Zhou Jixun and said, "Thank you generals for capturing Xi County, wiping out nearly 50,000 cavalry, and making the barbarians tremble with fear. You are just following the trend."
When some generals heard Zhang Hong admitting their hard work, they even said they didn't dare, and their feelings for him naturally increased.
There are also some generals who think Zhang Hong is hypocritical. They see through the literati's twists and turns and do not believe Zhang Hong's words at all.
Zhang Hong twitched his lips when he saw them, knowing that these generals were somewhat jealous of him.
Isn't it? Some generals threw their heads and blood to finally kill enemies who were equal to themselves.
And you, Zhang Hong, convinced thousands of barbarians with just your words, where do you want your generals to put their face?
The more achievements you have, the more humble you must be and the more low-key you must be. This is the way to be a human being.
He bowed his hands in the direction of Jintang County and said: "Thank you for Xiao Langjun's strategy. I just had a chance to succeed by borrowing Xiao Langjun's east wind. Without Xiao Langjun's letter, he might have been detained in Dingjun Mountain this time and became a hostage."
Everyone felt better after hearing him tell the truth and speaking in an extremely humble manner, and they all sincerely praised him.
Although he attributed most of the credit to Zhao Ping, he risked his life and death to convince the Hu people, and his credit was equally considerable.
After all, the Hu people kill without blinking an eye, and going up the mountain to the Hu people's camp is enough to prove that he is brave and resourceful.
From then on, the security team finally recognized him and no longer obeyed his orders.
This is the barracks. They will not be moved by your fancy words. The barracks only recognize your strength.
In fact, the happiest person was not Xi Xing, nor Zhang Hong, but Yang Yun.
This was his first time leading troops into battle, and now that it had finally ended successfully, he was naturally happy.
This can mark a major milestone in his life, leading troops to regain Xi County and conquer Dingjun Mountain.
He is the goal pursued by all military generals. Such a life is worth it even if he dies immediately.
Before Yang Yun's excitement had subsided, his trouble came.
A craftsman named Lu Ludao came to the Yamen and said he had something important to report.
Their ability to easily attack Xi County this time was inseparable from their careful efforts.
Of course, the more important reason for attacking Xi County is to bring tens of thousands of Central Plains people to Jintang County.
Being able to bring back tens of thousands of Central Plains people is also the result of careful work.
Lu Lutao is the person in charge of Kaifeng's fine work. This time he can bring back thousands of Central Plains people, so a loose official is inevitable.
Hearing that Lu Ludao had something to report, Yang Yun asked his soldiers to bring him in immediately.
Lu Ludao came in and saluted him, and said with some anxiety: "Commander Yang, what should I do if the thousands of people I brought with me don't want to leave and want to settle here?"
Yang Yun is a military strategist who is good at fighting, but not at peace with the people, let alone thousands of people.
These people bring their children and their parents with them, so something big might happen.
He had a headache and immediately called Xi Xing and Zhang Hong to come in for discussion.
The literati are responsible for keeping the people at ease, so these matters will be left to you, the literati.
We are generals, so naturally we should go to war.
Well, governance is still governed by you literati.
Zhang Hong has already made a meritorious service, and it is an immediate and monumental achievement.
Although Xi Xing congratulated him, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
Zhang Hong, a latecomer, has already made meritorious deeds, but as an old man in the security team, he has only made small contributions by following Xiao Langjun.
Upon hearing Yang Yun's invitation, Xi Xing and Zhang Hong rushed to the Yamen.
When I arrived at the Yamen, I was dumbfounded to see that there were thousands of mouths that needed to be fed, and these people were still common people.
You are obviously going to Jintang County, which is a paradise on earth. Why don't you want to leave when you get here?
Oh, they have gone too far. They have walked thousands of miles. They are really exhausted and have no strength to go on.
Moreover, a great victory had just been won here, and tens of thousands of Hu cavalry were annihilated and safe.
Xi Xing wanted to cry but had no tears. This place was obviously a thorn in the Hu people's side and a thorn in the flesh. The Hu people wanted to pull it out immediately.
Luludao said, of course they would not live in the county town, but at the foot of the mountain.
They were interested in the hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land at the northern foot of Dingjun Mountain.
These hundreds of thousands of acres of land are protected by Dingjun Mountain, Bashan Mountain, and Han River respectively. On the other side is Xi County.
Xi Xing's head is so big, they are trying to steal the jobs of the people of Xi County.
They don't want to leave, but what about the people here?
Xixing actually has a cooperative relationship with Zhang Hongjing, but also has a competitive relationship.
The reason for the cooperation is that there are too few literati here, and the two of them are easily isolated by the generals and have to hug together for warmth.
The competition is that both of them are chief registrars, and Xi Xing is the chief registrar of the Sichuan Army.
The Sichuan Protecting Army is a field army, and the security regiment is just a garrison.
Now that the new chief secretary has actually persuaded the Hu people in Xingyuan Mansion to surrender, where do you want Xi Xing, the old chief secretary of the security group, to put his face?
What's more, he is also the chief secretary of the Sichuan Army.
If he successfully resettled seven or eight thousand people, both would be a great achievement, but how to resettle these thousands of people?
