Datang Almighty Dad

Chapter 389 Iron Fist General
In the early morning of the next day, under the rule of Hongnong, [-] miles west of Chang'an City, a group of fast horses galloped up to report urgently to Cheng Zhijie, the general of Youwuwei who was stationed here.

Before ordering the collection of chickens, ducks and geese, several generals under the Ministry of War competed to be inspectors. Cheng Zhijie led Henan Province and some areas of Hedong Province, and Hongnong ruled Guozhou City, which was the three provinces of Guannei Road, Hedong Road, and Henan Province. Junction.

Cheng Zhijie deserves to be a person with fine details. He is stationed here, monitoring grievances is one of them. More importantly, it is convenient to transfer livestock. He only needs one order. Luoyang in the east, Jinyang in the north, Fanyang and Nanyang in the south , all chickens, ducks and geese have to pass through here if they want to be transported to Chang'an.

Early in the morning, while eating breakfast, Cheng Yaojin listened to his lieutenants report on the grievances that occurred in various places. From time to time, he stopped to eat and drink to explain, which team to send to Henan, which team to Hedong, how to supervise, etc. Well-organized, how can there be a little rude look?This scene made his son Cheng Chumo dumbfounded, thinking that his father would do this?Is it easy to handle government affairs?

"Report! An urgent report from Chang'an, His Royal Highness King Qin ordered for help. The locust plague is raging. There are not enough chickens, ducks and geese. I ordered that no matter how many chickens, ducks and geese you receive, all of them should be transported to the front line as quickly as possible." An urgent report disrupted the situation. Had Cheng Zhijie's breakfast.

After receiving the urgent confidential letter, the messengers collapsed in the yard, and Cheng Chumo hurriedly called for rescue and resettlement.

After reading the letter, Cheng Yaojin was silent for a moment, gritted his teeth and ordered: "Come here, inform the patriarch of the Hongnong Yang clan, and this general will come to visit later. Order Guozhou Futai to immediately requisition all carriages and horses in the city, no matter whether they are carriages or carriages." It’s still a tablet, as long as it can carry people and goods, all will be requisitioned.”

"General, how do you get this?" The deputy general was stunned.

Cheng Yaojin slapped him, "Bastard, under this order, everything will be requisitioned in accordance with the emergency during wartime. If there is any problem, the general will be responsible."

"Decree!" The lieutenant didn't dare to be wordy, and hurried to deliver the order, knowing the seriousness of the matter, he was already carrying a bit of evil spirit while running.

"Father, isn't His Highness King Qin strictly forbidden to oppress and disturb the people? You are so tough, will you..." Cheng Chumo reminded in a low voice.

Cheng Yaojin shook his head, "It's a matter of urgency! At this time, the carriage is requisitioned for disaster relief, and compensation is enough afterwards, and it's not plundering. Dalang, you go and bring a group of cavalry, and notify the nearby county government separately. It is said that when His Royal Highness the King of Qin was eradicating the locust plague, he encountered danger and was besieged by countless locusts, and needed chickens, ducks and geese to rescue him. The government recruited a large number of people, and afterward the chickens and ducks were returned with rewards."

"Ah? You, this is not a rumor..."

Snapped!With a big ear, he went over, "Idiot, if you don't use the banner of King Qin, how can you quickly raise chickens and ducks for reinforcements?"

Seeing his son and a bunch of his subordinates sent out, Cheng Yaojin returned to the dining table alone, drank the remaining half bowl of porridge, and sighed, "It seems that this time, we have to spend some money. But , with the hundreds of altars of fine wine guaranteed by King Qin, even if the family is empty, it is worth it!"

Cough cough... After saying this, he looked around carefully, feeling a little guilty, he couldn't say this out loud, it was duty-bound to contribute to the country's resistance to the locust plague.Fortunately, except for the two guards at the door, and the maid guarding behind, no one seemed to hear.Without thinking about it any more, he quickly stepped out, got on his horse, and went straight to Hongnong Yang's mansion.

If you want to accomplish a major event on the land of Guozhou, it would be impossible without the help of Hongnong Yang, the biggest land tyrant here.

"General Cheng? Disrespect and disrespect! I heard that the general is busy with official duties, so why did he come to the door suddenly? What's the matter? But my son of the Yang family hinders the general's work?" The patriarch of the Yang family asked with a slight question in his tone.

Cheng Yaojin knew very well that in the past two days, he had personally managed two Yang's children, which was equivalent to slapping him in the face on his territory. Now that he has to ask for help from others, Hongnong Yang's will certainly not do any good. complexion.

"Patriarch Yang was joking. Except for the two liars who took advantage of the opportunity to make money for the country and oppressed the people in the name of Yang's name and were brought to justice by this general, almost no one dared to commit crimes. Hongnong Yang's family deserves to be a poet The family is well-known and well-known, and the upbringing of the children in the family is well-known, if it is not for the help of the Yang family, the recruitment of chickens and ducks will not be so smooth, I am here to thank you, old Cheng." Cheng Yaojin smiled all over his face, and said fiercely There is something very sincere.

The patriarch of the Yang clan snorted coldly in his heart, what a smiling face, that's not what he said when he was dealing with us, now he is afraid that he has something to ask of us, so he said some kind of impostor?

"Contributing to the country is one's duty. It is a major matter for the imperial court to resist the locust plague. You are welcome, general! Please!" The patriarch of the Yang family let Cheng Yaojin into the living room to serve tea.

"To be honest, I'm here to ask for help, Old Cheng. We won a battle on the front line against locusts. Her Royal Highness can command chickens, ducks and geese. Together with His Royal Highness King Qin, His Highness King Zhao and others, he can lead an army of [-] women to victory in the first battle and wipe out the locusts." There are countless locusts, and they directly repelled the first wave of locusts."

"Oh? It's so amazing to control locusts. It's an anecdote through the ages. The king of Qin and the little princess are indeed geniuses. I admire you! It's a blessing for the Tang Dynasty." The patriarch of the Yang clan cupped his hands and said.

"Hey, it's a pity. The locusts came from Longyou and invaded the Guanzhong Plain. This is the first group of forwards, and there is a stronger army behind. In this way, the chickens, ducks and geese on the front line are far from enough, so His Highness King Qin Urgently report for help, quickly recruit chickens and ducks."

It turned out that the patriarch of the Yang family also expressed his concern, "Don't worry, general, the locust plague is the common enemy of all people in the world. I, the Yang family, have a duty to do so. I order all the clan members, including branch families, to donate all the chickens, ducks and geese in the family to participate in the war. The victory over the locust plague should be donated to the imperial court.”

"No, no, how can this work? It wasn't for this in the future. I have sent orders to the surrounding counties to intensify the gathering efforts. A large number of chickens and ducks will arrive in a short time, so there will be a shortage of vehicles and horses , Therefore, I want Patriarch Yang to help prepare the carriages and horses, and if there is one, I want one, and I can pay the rent." Cheng Yaojin said sincerely.

Horses and chariots?

After pondering for a moment, Patriarch Yang said: "No problem, but there is a small condition. I wonder if the general caught the two liars yesterday?"

fraud?Hmph, really looking for an opportunity to reach out, Cheng Yaojin secretly scolded the old fox, "No way! Military law does not allow private affairs, please understand Patriarch Yang."

"Hmph, General Cheng, you are like this, but do you have the attitude to ask us for help? There are only two people in the area, and you don't give this little face?" Patriarch Yang immediately lowered his face, "To be honest, I can cooperate with the general in local business and disaster relief. It's one of them, but it's also for King Qin's face. After all, King Qin is selfless and his mind is admirable. Moreover, His Highness King Qin has kindness to me, the Hongnong Yang family..."

yes?Cheng Yaojin wisely didn't ask what kind of kindness it was.But when he heard this sentence, he had a bottom line in his heart.

A compromise plan was proposed: "Patriarch Yang, take down two people, military law is one of them, the most important thing is to deter Xiao Xiao, if you give up halfway, it will not only affect Lao Cheng's business, but also hurt your face. How about this Usually, how about I let these two people transport chickens and ducks to the front line, how about some experience?"

you……

If it is an ordinary parent who is mediocre, he will definitely think that Cheng Yaojin is unreasonable and shameless. Not only does he not let him go, but he also wants to use excuses to rectify threats?But the Hongnong Yang family, after all, was a family of an emperor, so they still have vision.

After pondering for a moment, Patriarch Yang nodded and said: "If you can see the King of Qin face to face, let them learn a lesson from the King of Qin, hone their skills and achieve something, it will be a fortune! General, please worry about it."

After a deal was completed, Cheng Yaojin finally felt relieved, and left the contact person behind, and he returned to the Chinese army to sit in command alone.The transportation was handed over to his subordinates. Although he really wanted to help, the implementation of an iron-fisted recruitment here would definitely arouse great public outrage, so he couldn't leave, and he even wanted to stay with his son Cheng Chumo to appease the people after the aftermath.

This is also the reason why he said his own money was scattered.If this is not the case, after the disaster is over, let alone the credit, it is not a joke that the court censor will be sent to the prison if he participates in the performance.
