Jiang Cheng received an "excellent" official rating last year. Among the four governors, he was the only one with an excellent rating. At the previous briefing meeting, the commanding officer Pang Ban named him three times in public for awards. And praised him as: the pillar of Xuanqing Guard.
This kind of situation is rare. At least Pang Ban has never expressed his appreciation for someone so directly before. Jiang Cheng is the first one.
This also allowed Jiang Cheng to receive a large amount of official qualifications at the beginning of this year, which is extremely important for a person like him who has almost no support. This means that as long as he continues to follow Pang Ban in the future and does not make big mistakes, and Pang Ban does not fall, his career will have potential again.
In fact, in other places, "career potential" is generally paid keen attention to. But there are some differences in Xuanqing Wei.
Before becoming a governor, he would indeed attract many talented people because of his "career potential". But after you become the governor, there won't be many people trying to curry favor with you just because you're "trying for your potential."
This reason involves the accumulation of strength of the upper-level Xuanqing Guard.
The Zhenfu envoy is a rank from the fourth rank, and above the Zhenfu envoy is the command officer of the fourth rank.
However, the commander will not be responsible for specific affairs, but will be assigned to "sit" in the command yamen. Of course, it is not really just sitting, but a practice of Xuan Qingwei. To put it bluntly, it is actually forced seclusion.
This is also the reason why only commanders and governors are rarely seen commanding people.
The Yuan Dan realm is the threshold for serving as a governor. If you want to continue to climb up and sit in a higher position in the Xuanqing Guard system, your cultivation level must enter the lower realm of the Yuan Dan realm, that is, at least the Yuan Dan realm. The seventh level of Dan Realm.
People who have reached the seventh level of the Yuan Dan Realm will have two choices.
The first is to serve as the commander of Qian Shijin and command the Yamen to retreat and continue to attack the next realm, which is the Xuanhai realm. This is to maximize the growth of cultivation, put aside worldly disturbances, and fully supply resources. The main purpose is to cultivate high-end combat power for Xuanqing Guard.
But this is relatively not that flexible, and some people don’t like the act of being forced to practice in seclusion. So there is a second option.
The second option is to enter Fenghong Villa and become a Golden Sword monk, bidding farewell to the Xuanqing Guard system.
Jiang Cheng is now the governor of Jingxi Town, but he has never seen any serving commander. I only know that there are four commanders from the third rank in the Commander's Office. These four came to serve after they successfully advanced to the Xuanhai realm from the former commanders. But there will also be no direct authority, and it will be more of a force-level position in the Xuanqing Guard.
Jiang Cheng didn't know whether his potential would allow him to reach the seventh level of the Yuan Dan Realm, but he knew exactly where he wanted to go. Give it a try, even if he can't continue to climb up due to his cultivation, at least he will have enough qualifications and capital to secure his position as the governor of Jingxi Town.
Therefore, after Jiang Cheng became the governor of Jingxi Town, he tried his best to perform. A big reason for this was that he chose to trust his protégé Shen Hao, and his unrelenting support was rewarded with generous rewards.
So when Shen Hao reported the powerful changes that had been made in the pilot program of the Black Flag Camp in Fengli City over the past month or so, Jiang Cheng's first reaction was "a clerical error", and then he had someone go to Fengli City to verify it on the spot. In the end, it was naturally proved. Shen Hao made no "clerical errors" and everything was true.
Pei Yuanfang, who had only benefited the grassroots soldiers, could actually make such great progress. This made Jiang Cheng realize that his disciple was probably going to make a big splash again.
Naturally, Jiang Chengcheng refocused his attention on the "big competition" used by Shen Hao to demonstrate his results.
Since the Black Flag Camp of Sealing Sun City has made amazing progress? Plus, as a disciple of his, he has always done things safely. Wouldn't this be another chance to show off his face?
Therefore, Jiang Chengcheng suppressed the "reward details" first, weighed the pros and cons, and used increased rewards to turn himself and the Jingxi governor from bystanders into actual participants.
Once you bet correctly, your career potential will increase.
But on the ninth day of April, Pang Ban suddenly summoned him, which almost disrupted Jiang Cheng's pace.
"The southern frontier army has already moved. Is this the "reminder" you mentioned before?"
As Pang Ban spoke, he threw a copper bar into Jiang Cheng's hand.
Open it and take a look. The copper bar was sent back through the emergency reporting channel by the Xuanqing Guard inspector in the southern frontier army. It said that at noon on the eighth day of April, the southern frontier army began to enter a state of full combat readiness? All wartime posts were activated. There is even news that as early as the end of March, three vanguard battalions left Zhuohuo Pass in the south. Then they encountered an organized barbarian army in the southern barbarian area. Both sides fought several battles, each suffering damage.
The copper strip also said: Then Zuo Yuliang, the military chief in the south, sent three more mixed partial armies totaling more than 15,000 people to leave Zhuohuo Pass.
The above information is relatively general and not detailed at all. But considering the embarrassing position of the Xuanqing Guard Supervisor in the military, these information are considered to be their best efforts.
"Yes, sir. I just didn't expect Zuo Yuliang's reaction to be so big and so fast."
Smiling, Pang Ban, who was sitting on the chair, continued: "Zuo Yuliang is a good general. His ability to lead troops is not bad, and he emphasizes the word "stable". This time he was praised by your Black Flag Battalion secret agent United Dividend Chamber of Commerce. There is nothing wrong with the news, and there is nothing wrong with the two exits. The first time was a test? The second time with 15,000 people, I think the stubborn advance is fake, and establishing a prominent point for observation is the real thing.
This response is worthy of Zuo Yuliang's reputation. But...according to your judgment, Nanman deliberately put on a posture this time to take advantage of the situation? The real intention is to let the red-eyed wolf clan succeed in rebuilding the royal court. So isn't Zuo Yuliang's reaction just right? Playing into the hands of the barbarians? "
"For now? Yes. Zuo Yuliang sent troops out of the border and fought several battles with the barbarians? This is already extremely bad news for the barbarians. They haven't rebuilt the royal court yet? There is no unified force in name. , so we have to succumb to the red-eyed wolf tribe to unify as soon as possible."
"Didn't you consider this situation in advance? What benefits can accelerating the unification of the barbarians bring to us?"
"Sir, the news from the previous spies has shown that the unification of the barbarians is inevitable. The difference is only the length of time. If it were in the past, we would definitely discuss with Zuo Yuliang before making arrangements. But now the border troops are still suspected. Now, let us not dare to move, for fear of blocking the investigation."
After Jiang Cheng finished speaking, there was silence. He lowered his head and did not dare to look directly at De Pang Ban in front of him.
After a long time, Pang Ban spoke again: "You really trust your disciple. This time he invited me to watch the ceremony, just to see what kind of person he is."
