Chapter 3 Drifting Three "Little Jiuzi, what are you going to do" As soon as he returned to his camp, Cheng Mingzhen immediately ushered in a complaint that covered his face.
The first one to jump up and chatter was Du Scar, such a big decision, the son-in-law didn't reveal a little bit to him in advance, which made his old man very angry.
In addition, Dou Jiande swept half of Hebei a few days ago, which also fully demonstrated his strong strength.
Keeping up with such a good fate and such a powerful boss, Cheng Mingzhen did not lead the Zhaozhou Army to establish the founding of the country, but chose to retreat in stride, in addition to being blinded by lard, what other explanation can there be "I made a decision on the fly.
There are a lot of things mixed here, and when I take a breath, I will explain to you carefully" Cheng Mingzhen took the saber at his waist and handed it to Du Juan, and responded in a low voice.
From today on, he will be a civil official through and through, and he no longer needs to put a knife behind his head every day.
The killing and competition on the rivers and lakes are gradually drifting away from him, and he is a little nostalgic, but he will never regret it.
"You too, why didn't you persuade him earlier" Du Scara couldn't get too angry at his son-in-law, turned his head, and was very unhappy to pile up the cuckoos and count them.
"Lao Dou is sincere in wanting to increase Xiao Jiu's soldiers, Xiao Jiuzi is doing this, isn't it making Lao Dou's hot face stick to his cold ass?"
"Don't be angry, drink a drink and take a break.
He must have his own reasons for doing this," the cuckoo put away his weapon, then stepped forward, pressed his father on the stool with a smile, and stuffed another cup of tea into his hand.
Du Scar was so suffocated that he could only pant heavily, but he had nothing to do with his daughter and son-in-law.
The Zhaozhou Army was founded by his daughter and son-in-law, and he, the elder, was just a housekeeper who watched for others.
On the surface, he has a lot of power, but in fact he has no power to make any important decisions.
At the beginning of the side, he unwillingly found Wang Ermao, "What about you, aren't you usually very clever, why don't you even stop today?"
"The place where I am standing is already outside the big tent, and I can't hear what is being said inside at all" For the sake of Cheng Mingzhen's husband and wife's face, Wang Ermao was unwilling to bother with him, so he casually found an excuse to prevaricate.
With the current scale of the Zhaozhou battalion, there is indeed no place for Wang Ermao in the Dou Jiajun's big tent.
Du Scar couldn't find the stubble from Wang Ermao's answer, so he snorted coldly and gritted his teeth.
Looking at his father's burning appearance, the cuckoo couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
For Cheng Mingzhen's choice today, she also felt very abrupt.
But after so many years of getting along with husband and wife, Du Juan has some understanding of her husband's temperament and temperament.
On the whole, Cheng Mingzhen is a very casual person, likes to back down, and is unwilling to compete with others.
If there is no pair of hands pushing him behind his back, he will instinctively take a step back when he is under pressure, in order to really open the sky.
However, this retreat is not without limits, and once external pressure threatens him and those around him, he will not hesitate to fight back, and will do everything in his choice of means.
Therefore, Du Juan does not think that Cheng Mingzhen's choice to give up the post of head of Xiangguo University is impulsive.
Maybe he is really tired of licking blood with knives and wants to live a peaceful life for a few days.
Perhaps he sensed a new danger and had to take precautions.
Who knows how he does it, how he follows it.
Anyway, he hasn't seen the problem clearly yet, so it's better to close his eyes and end up idle.
"Look at it, look at it, this is the benefit of raising a daughter" Du Scar was even more depressed by his daughter's laughter, and pulled up the grandson next to him to find a helper.
"Third brother, you can be quiet for a while, I don't think there's anything wrong with Xiao Jiu doing this" Sun Huozi refused to buy his account, glanced at him, and said in a low voice.
"What's wrong, where is it" Hearing that Sun Huozi refused to echo himself, Du Scar asked angrily.
"At least he kept the three counties of Ping'en, so that he wouldn't become a rootless Ping" Sun Huozi thought about it and explained very seriously.
"What kind of chief manager, general, people can give it to you today, and they can take it tomorrow.
If you hand over the land in your hand, you won't come back later."
"Is Lao Dou that kind of person, he is taking the initiative to increase Xiaojiu's soldiers and horses" "What kind of person is Lao Dou, the three of you should know better than us, and you don't know the face but don't know the heart, of course he is good now, but who can guarantee what will happen to him in the future" Sun Huozi frowned tightly and responded-for-tat.
"You know a fart except for medicinal herbs" Du Scar was furious, and his eyes were pricked up and he sneered.
Sun Huozi was too lazy to meet him in general, so he packed up the things in front of him and prepared to get up and leave.
Seeing this, Cheng Mingzhen hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Sun Huozi's arm, "Sixth uncle, don't be in a hurry."
Today's matter, I need to explain it to everyone.
And I also need your help to plan, how should we go next?"
"I know a medicinal herb and your father-in-law's fart," Sun Huozi rolled his eyes and responded angrily.
That being said, in the end, he still sat down, picked up the teacup, and waited for Cheng Mingzhen's statement angrily.
"The number of soldiers and horses on hand is the amount of responsibility to bear.
With our current strength, I'm afraid that I won't stay long in the position of head of Xiangguo," Cheng Mingzhen considered the wording and explained in a low voice.

"It's not your business to fight alone, Li Zhongjian really led the army south, Lao Dou, he can still let his territory be robbed," Du Scar's anger did not subside, and he retorted with round eyes.
"I didn't mean that" Cheng Mingzhen sighed and shook his head slightly.
"Our threat is not only from the west and north, these days by Dou Jiande's side, I think a lot" "You mean Lao Dou" Du Scaryu didn't expect his son-in-law to have the same idea as Sun Huozi, so he first shook his head for a moment, and then jumped up from the stool.
"How is it possible that if he tries to be unfavorable to you, how can he take the initiative to increase your troops and really have to guard against him, the more soldiers we have, the safer it is" "How is it impossible that I have seen his appearance, there are diagonal lines under his eyebrows, he seems to be a loyal traitor, and his temperament is narrow" As if he was deliberately fighting with Du Scar, Sun Huozi sneered.
"You also said that Xiao Jiuzi and Zhou Ning's girl have husband and wife" Du Scar's head glared at Sun Huozi, and unceremoniously revealed the other party's old bottom.
As soon as the words came out, he immediately began to regret it.
Because all the eyes around him were turned around, almost every pair of eyes had blame in them.
"I'm not, I'm not that meaning, Ermao, I" Du Scar was seen by everyone as weak, lowered his head, and muttered to explain.
Since Zhou Ning's death, Wang Ermao has never provoked any more women.
The brothers of the Zhaozhou Army are also very considerate, and they never mention that embarrassing past in front of Wang Ermao's eyes.
But despite this, every year around the Qingming Festival, there are always a few days when everyone will see Wang Ermao riding a horse alone to go for a ride in the wilderness, he himself said that he was going hunting, but his lonely back could not hide any attention.
"It's fine.
It's been so many years," Wang Ermao shrugged and made an indifferent look.
Seeing that the other party was so open-minded, Du Scarqi felt even more unhappy in his heart.
"I, hey, I'm so confused that I can't control my mouth, I, I'm really, alas" "Alright, third brother.
The two of us are old, so don't mess around, let's listen to Xiao Jiu in everything" Sun Huozi sighed and suggested with a smile.
This time, Du Scarred didn't have a hard top with him.
Nodding, he sat up straight.
"Don't say that, two old men, let's discuss something with each other.
After all, you two eat more salt than we eat rice," Cheng Mingzhen hurriedly opened his mouth and turned the conversation back to the topic.
"The main reason why our Zhaozhou army has survived in the troubled times is because everyone knows each other and works together.
If, in accordance with Dou Dangjia's suggestion, the number of qualified officers is increased from more than 5,000 at once to more than 15,000, I am afraid that there will be no qualified officers.
If Dou Da took the opportunity to propose to arrange a few people to come over to help, I can't think of any reason to refuse."
"That's right" After all, it is an old Jianghu, calm down and think about it along the way of thinking about guarding against Dou Jiande, Du Scarqi immediately understood Cheng Mingzhen's approach.
But the premise of this kind of precaution is based on Dou Jiande's unkind heart to the Zhaozhou army, and judging from the current situation, Cheng Mingzhen's speculation is very likely to catch the wind Seeing the doubts in everyone's eyes, Cheng Mingzhen continued to explain: "If I become the general manager of Xiangguo, I will have to level the newcomers and the old brothers in Zhouzhou.
In the event of a war in the north or in the west, all the brothers must be drawn up regardless of their affiliation.
There are not many such battles, and after three or two battles, the Zhaozhou Army will no longer be the Zhaozhou Army.
If the Dou boss wants to change someone, if he wants to transfer that general, or even transfer me to another place, there will be no obstacles."
"Mix sand first, then dig the corner of the wall, and draw the beam, we all know this trick" Du Scar sighed and responded in a low voice.
After all, I still felt that Cheng Mingzhen was a little too cautious, thought about it, and said in a low voice: "But since we know these methods, we will naturally be careful to take precautions, and we will not easily fall into other people's ways, and it is better to have more soldiers than fewer soldiers."
If something unpleasant happens, it can also make people have more scruples.
Besides, how can you see that Lao Dou is not at ease these days, I have been careful, but I haven't noticed it at all."
"I don't see it either.
But I don't want to give people this opportunity" Cheng Mingzhen shook his head and admitted very frankly.
"Dou Tianwang, I haven't been able to understand it.
So, before I understand it, I don't want to give anyone a chance to break up the Yuzhou Army.
I don't want to let myself bring too many soldiers, which will cause other people's scruples.
As at present, thousands of soldiers and horses are the best to guard the three counties of Ping'en and Juluze.
After all, this is our foundation, no matter how much the situation changes outside, others can't easily swallow it."
A few words are old-fashioned, and they don't seem to come from a young man's mouth at all.
When Du Scara heard his son-in-law say this, he knew that the matter was irreparable, pursed his lips, and sighed: "Anyway, as long as it's not your impulsiveness, I have nothing to say."
I'm so old, what else do I want, don't I just want to see you and Juan Zi be safe?"
Looking at his daughter and son-in-law regretfully, he continued to add, "Now that you have done your part, even if Lao Dou suspects you in his heart, he can't kill them all without a firm handle."
It's just that on the side of the brothers, how can you explain that you are willing to be a little county guard for the rest of your life, and are the brothers also willing to be a village warrior forever?"
"As long as you are old, the sixth uncle, the fifth uncle, Juan Zi, and Ermao understand my thoughts.

The others, I'll gather them together later and discuss where we're going from here.
Cheng Mingzhen nodded and responded in a low voice.
Du Scar's reminder is very correct, if he can't provide a better future for his subordinates, many people will inevitably fight for it themselves.
However, being attached to Dou Jiande's banner and maintaining the relative independence of the Zhaozhou Army is the best way out he can think of for himself so far.
He had to grasp this trunk, and as for other details outside the trunk, it was not that he could not think of it, but that he did not have the ability to take care of it at all for the time being.
"I've already said it, you're so old, what else do you want" Du Scar agreed suddenly, and then turned his head to Sun Huozi.
"What about you, sixth" Sun Huozi had already made a decision, and said with a smile: "I won't tell you, I have always felt that there are some places where the Dou family army is very awkward, but I can't say where the specific awkwardness is, anyway, it is not as comfortable as our Xuzhou army."
"Old thing" Du Scar pouted angrily, "If you dare not stay, I will break your legs" "I'll follow Brother Xiaojiu" didn't wait for Du Scar to turn his head to himself, Wang Ermao took the initiative to express his position.
"It's also quite enjoyable to be a magistrate, and when others see me, they have to call me Mr.
Wang.
Didn't Dou Jiande say today that you will be given four county orders, leave me one, and let me be addicted to kneeling in two days."
"No shape" Cheng Mingzhen smiled and counted a sentence, but he felt very warm in his heart.
Since the beginning of Guantao County, the two have been almost inseparable.
If Wang Ermao had been a little hesitant today, it would have been difficult for him to be sure if his choice was correct.
In fact, from entering the Dou family army to the present, Dou Jiande has not done anything out of the ordinary to the Yuzhou battalion.
It's just that Cheng Mingzhen is very uneasy in his heart, just like Sun Huozi said, he always feels that there is something wrong in the Dou family's army, but he can't say what is wrong.
This uneasy premonition became stronger as Dou Jiande arranged for him to be strict with military discipline twice, so strong that he was like a knife blade, and if he didn't escape immediately, he would be in danger of dying at any time.
As for whether this premonition is due to excessive anxiety or an intuition developed by living in a dangerous environment for a long time, Cheng Mingzhen himself can't tell clearly.
Therefore, he can only take precautions cautiously, preferring to believe what he has rather than what he does not have.
After all, in this troubled world, any fame and wealth are fleeting, and only survival is the only last word
