In addition to Yuan Song who was happy about Ye Mingsheng's appointment, there was another person who was also very happy. This person was Zhao Han... ·
When the General Staff of the Fengwu Army was first established, Zhao Han was the only first-class staff officer responsible for the formulation of various combat plans of the Fengwu Army. It can be said that Zhao was more or less behind the Fengwu Army's southern and northern wars in recent years. Han's handiwork.
Zhao Han was also promoted to deputy chief of general staff due to his meritorious service, assisting the then chief of general staff He Jingyun in his work. In the later period of He Jingyun's tenure as chief of general staff, he had gradually delegated power to Zhao Han. Zhao Han, deputy chief of staff, He is not only responsible for the formulation of combat plans, but also coordinates the logistics dispatch of various units.
Later, He Jingyun succeeded Yuan Song as the commander of the First Army. Zhao Han was generally considered to be the best candidate to succeed He Jingyun as the chief of general staff. However, because Ye Mingsheng later arranged for the hard-working Yuan Song, he made Yuan Song the chief of the general staff. , Zhao Han can only continue to serve as deputy chief of staff.
Although Ye Mingsheng had wronged Zhao Han because he knew about this matter, he also comforted Zhao Han and rewarded him with some gold, silver and fertile land. However, the matter of chief of staff still became a thorn in Zhao Han's heart.
Fortunately, Yuan Song is not a person who likes to fight for power. During his tenure as chief of general staff, he fully delegated power to Zhao Han and allowed him to display his talents. Therefore, the two got along fairly well. However, as for the position of chief of general staff, Zhao Han Still unforgettable...
Now because of Lin Huaiwu's incident, there have been new changes in the top management of the Fengwu Army. He finally got the position of chief of staff that he had longed for. How could Zhao Han be unhappy? He had decided to celebrate when he went home tonight.
As the saying goes, some people are happy and some are sad. Yuan Song and Zhao Han were happy, but naturally there were also people in the conference room who were disappointed. This person was Guo Zhiping, another deputy chief of staff, who was transferred to the general staff in the same batch as Yuan Song. Department, now Yuan Song has been transferred back to the battlefield, and he is still working as an idler in the General Staff Department, which is depressing to say.
Ignoring everyone's emotions, Ye Mingsheng made such a major personnel adjustment, and then emphasized some principles, then ended the staff meeting. Guo Zhiping, who was in a low mood, had no interest in continuing to serve as the general staff. I had to do some work at the ministry, so I just found an excuse and returned home.
After returning home, Guo Zhiping took Xinna's two beautiful concubines and started drinking. When he was the commander of the Third Army, Guo Zhiping was preoccupied with how to make great achievements and honor his ancestors, so he had no time to study. Things to enjoy.
During the period when he served as deputy chief of staff, because his title was just an idle job, Guo Zhiping was too lazy to take care of things, took in several new concubines, and thought about a big plan to expand the branches of the Guo family!
Just when Guo Zhiping was getting drunk, a maid walked over quickly and reported:
"Master, Master Zhang needs to see you for something!"
Guo Zhiping burped after hearing this, waved his hands and said:
"What is Master Zhang doing here at this time?"
"No! No! I want to get drunk with the beauty today..."
Although Guo Zhiping rejected Master Zhang's request for an audience, after a cup of tea, a handsome middle-aged scribe came to Guo Zhiping despite the obstruction of a group of maids and servants.
This man's name was Zhang Dezheng, who was a Jinshi in the early years of Anhe. He had been an official in the court for more than ten years. However, because of his upright nature, he did not want to join in the corruption in the court at that time. In addition, he was ostracized by his colleagues, so he resigned from office and went home in anger. After returning to his hometown in Liaoyang, he opened a school to teach children.
Later, by chance, Zhang Dezheng met Guo Zhanshan, Guo Zhiping's father. As a Jinshi, Zhang Dezheng had a natural disdain for bandits like Guo Zhanshan. However, due to some things, Zhang Dezheng gradually realized that Guo Zhanshan and Guo Zhanshan were The average bandit is different.
Other bandits used the slogan of doing justice for heaven, but in fact they committed evil deeds such as bullying men and dominating women. However, Guo Zhanshan really practiced these four words, only killing those squires who were unkind for the sake of wealth, and taking advantage of the robbers. The wealth he received was distributed to the poor people, which changed his impression of Guo Zhanshan.
Although Guo Zhanshan has not studied for a few days, he still respects truly talented people like Zhang Dezheng, so the relationship between the two parties has become closer and closer with Guo Zhanshan's deliberate friendship... ·············
Later, the Guo family father and son joined the Fengwu Army, and the older Guo Zhanshan retired, while the young Guo Zhiping stayed in the Fengwu Army to pursue his ambitions.
As Guo Zhiping became more and more important as a lieutenant in the Fengwu Army, Guo Zhanshan was also worried that his son, who was born as a bandit, would suffer misfortune if he did not understand the affairs of the court, so he wanted to ask Zhang Dezheng, who was a Jinshi, to give his son guidance as a master. .
At first, Zhang Dezheng declined Guo Zhanshan's invitation. He had retired for many years and did not want to participate in government affairs. However, he could not withstand Guo Zhanshan's repeated invitations, and he owed Guo Zhanshan a lot of favors over the years, so in the end he could not resist the kindness. When he arrived at Guo Zhiping's side, he took on the role of master.
Because he knew that Zhang Dezheng had real talent and knowledge and was proficient in officialdom, Guo Zhiping also respected his master very much and would often ask him for advice on officialdom matters.
Looking at Guo Zhiping, who was disheveled and smelling of alcohol, Zhang Dezheng glared fiercely at the two beautiful concubines in Guo Zhiping's arms. The two women hesitated, but still chose to withdraw... ·····················
The departure of the two beautiful concubines still made Guo Zhiping sober up. Looking at Zhang Dezheng appearing in front of him, Guo Zhiping pointed at him with some annoyance and said:
"Master Zhang, didn't I miss you? Why are you still here?"
Seeing Guo Zhiping like this, Zhang Dezheng raised his hands and asked:
"Why did Dong Weng do this? But what happened?"
Guo Zhiping hesitated for a moment when faced with Zhang Dezheng's inquiry, but still told Zhang Dezheng what happened at today's staff meeting.
"Lin Huaiwu is really a son of a bitch. He turned Yun Bing's war into a mess, and he was greedy for so much money. The commander-in-chief only raised his hand high and put it down gently, and even transferred him to be Qilu Commander-in-Chief, if it were me, Lao Guo, I wouldn't be able to chop off even ten heads!"
"On the Yunbin battlefield, if I, Lao Guo, hadn't rescued tens of thousands of brothers from Shangguan Hongyuan's Shenwu army in Dakou Township, the first Yunbin war would have been a complete defeat. Could Jinzhong have defended it? It’s not even possible to come down!
"Lin Huaiwu, He Jingyun and the others were pretending to be big-tailed wolves in the back. I charged into the battle and was bleeding and wounded. In the end, I, the commander of the Third Army, was transferred back to Yi Jing and became this shit deputy chief of staff. This matter Who should I talk to for explanation?"
"There is also the deputy chief of staff. Although this official seems to be of high rank, it is just a false position. I am asked to be a mascot here. I am supported by a high-ranking official and a generous salary. I do a few things in the government office every day. Outside, I either drink tea or read the newspaper..."
"I have pity on my brothers in the Third Army. They fought on the Yunbin battlefield for more than a year. They were killed and injured and even lost their organization. Now with great difficulty, the commander nodded and restored the organization. As a result, that bastard Xun Ke picked up the big army. It’s so cheap, it’s really annoying!”
Guo Zhiping, who was feeling extremely depressed at the end, raised his head and poured a large glass of wine into his stomach. He knew something about Lin Huaiwu's bad things when he was in Yunbin.
Although he looked down upon what Lin Huaiwu did, he had no grudges with Lin Huaiwu in the past and now, we were all under the command of the Fengwu Army, and we could not see each other without looking up, and Lin Huaiwu was the commander's confidant, so it was not a crime to offend him for nothing. , so Guo Zhiping just pretended that he didn't know about it. He never thought that Lin Huaiwu's bad thing would be exposed at this time.
Looking at Guo Zhiping, who was full of complaints, Zhang Dezheng's last words were the core of the matter. The Third Army of the Fengwu Army was led by Guo Zhiping. Guo Zhiping had great affection for this unit and served as deputy commander. During this period, the Chief of General Staff has been thinking about one day returning to the Third Army and continuing to fight on the battlefield.
But now that he saw Xun Ke officially becoming the commander of the Third Army, Guo Zhiping's little idea was completely shattered, so he couldn't accept it for a while, so he was full of complaints... ··········
After pondering for a while, Zhang Dezheng said:
"Dong Weng, I think with Marshal Ye's character, Lin Huaiwu's matter will not end so easily!"
As soon as these words came out, Guo Zhiping also became interested and said:
"Mr. Zhang, are you saying that the commander-in-chief will kill Lin Huaiwu?"
After the words fell, Guo Zhiping shook his head and asked himself:
"I don't think the commander-in-chief will kill Lin Huaiwu. Lin Huaiwu is a commander by nature. He can only command a few thousand people. The reason why he can reach the position of commander of the Second Army is entirely because of his loyalty to the commander-in-chief. These things He will hit wherever Commander Nian points!"
"Although he made some money in Yunmer, Yunmen itself is a poor place. As far as I know, the money he made is not half of Ye Hongsheng's. The commander-in-chief still misses the old friendship and misses these old brothers all these years. I was in front of me and behind the horse, so I didn’t kill Ye Hongsheng, let alone kill him!”
Zhang Dezheng said with a smile:
"Of course Marshal Ye will not kill Lin Huaiwu, but he will never let Lin Huaiwu go easily. The reason why Lin Huaiwu fell this time is, in my opinion, the corruption incident is just the trigger. The main reason is the past year. Time has passed, our army has suffered numerous casualties on the battlefield, but has made little progress. Lin Huaiwu cannot be blamed..."
"Dong Weng, think about it. At the beginning of the year, the commander-in-chief was in Yun and appointed He Jingyun. You, General Lin Huaiwu, were transferred to Hebei Province as the commander of the First Army due to the unfavorable war situation. You were also transferred to Hebei Province. The General Staff holds the empty position of deputy chief of staff, but Lin Huaiwu is the only one who has nothing to do and has been promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Yunbin battlefield!"
"But how did Lin Huaiwu repay the commander? The defeat in Pingyun County would have been a great defeat if Xun Ke had not arrived in time to assist the Second Army. The Second Army would have suffered not only tens of thousands of casualties, but also a huge defeat. Shuai must be dissatisfied with Lin Huaiwu!"
"It's just that later, with the help of Xun Ke, the five county towns were recaptured on the Yunbin battlefield and the set combat goals were completed. It was not easy for the commander-in-chief to punish Lin Huaiwu too much. In my opinion, General Zheng Yueqing, On the surface, he looks selfless and never bends the law for personal gain, but in fact, this person is very good at figuring out the commander-in-chief’s mind!”
"You, Dong Weng, know about Lin Huaiwu's stay in Yunbin, but doesn't Yue Qinghui know about it at all?"
"Then why didn't he report these things directly to the commander-in-chief? It's not because Lin Huaiwu is the commander-in-chief's confidant. Yue Qing didn't dare to offend Lin Huaiwu. But now he figured out that the commander-in-chief was dissatisfied with Lin Huaiwu, so he dared to investigate Lin Huaiwu’s matter!”
"Lin Huaiwu has been in the Fengwu Army for many years, and the commander-in-chief has always been very fond of him. Although his performance is mediocre and unfit for practical use, the commander-in-chief still made him the commander of the Second Army against all objections. This shows that the commander-in-chief The level of trust in it························"
"As for a person like Lin Huaiwu who only relies on the commander-in-chief's favor to rise to power, once the commander-in-chief's favor drops, this person's nightmare will come. This time, the commander-in-chief will transfer him to Qilu as the commander-in-chief. In my opinion, it’s just for the sake of stability!”
"Lin Huaiwu is the commander-in-chief of the Yunbin battlefield after all. He commands tens of thousands of our army's soldiers and horses on the Yunbin battlefield. If he is captured directly, there is no guarantee that the morale of the frontline soldiers will not be shaken, so he is transferred to Qilu and slowly Dealing with it is the safe choice!”
At this point, Zhang Dezheng paused and glanced at Guo Zhiping before continuing:
"Dong Weng, I think that although you are dormant now, you should not be too complacent. In this world, Shangguan Hongyuan, Xu Zhaojie and their like have not yet been wiped out. The Fengwu Army still has many battles to fight. The Fengwu Army There are only a few good generals in the war, and sooner or later the commander-in-chief will use you, Dong Weng!"
"In my opinion, after the spring of next year, the commander-in-chief will most likely focus on dealing with Shangguan Hongyuan. Although Yuan Song is a famous general in the world, Yun and those troops are still far from enough. When the fierce battle is in full swing, Da Shuai will most likely form a fifth army to go to Yunpin for support!"
"At that time, who will be the commander of the Fifth Army?"
"So Dong Weng, you'd better cheer up. There are many big and bad battles waiting for you to fight. It's such a great opportunity and a time to make great achievements. If you miss it, Dong Weng, wouldn't you regret it for the rest of your life..." ···············”
Listening to Zhang Dezheng's detailed analysis, Guo Zhiping's eyes gradually brightened, and he immediately stood up and saluted Zhang Dezheng:
"What you said is true, Zhiping has learned a lesson!"
