Chapter 37 The marshal wants to see you

After re-delivering the grain, Xu Jinghong and his party were arranged to live in a military camp near the grain warehouse in Dingxi City. The whole Dingxi is now full of soldiers. Except for some of the troops stationed in the city and kept on alert at any time, tens of thousands of other troops have been stationed in this small city, which makes the original houses in the city unusable, and only allows soldiers to live in the simple barracks.

Although the conditions are not good, these soldiers who have come to Dingxi with Xu Jinghong for several days have not complained. They have begun to get used to this kind of life. Compared with worrying about the barbarians and guarding against poisonous insects on the road, it is now good to be stationed in the city, and they still have good food. To enjoy.

However, Xu Jinghong did not feel at ease because he had come to Dingxi City and handed over the task, because he was still worried about the situation of the two people. Naturally, the two were sent by him to Dingxi earlier. They made such a big noise when they entered the city, and now it has been a long time. Normally, the two people should have come to meet in the city, but they did not appear until dark.

Xu Jinghong put the coarse porcelain bowl in his hand on the wooden table and suddenly stood up, making his heart even more uneasy. After thinking for a while, he still decided to ask for help, so he ordered Zheng Tong and several other teams to come over. After the battle with the barbarians and the trouble when he entered the city today, Xu Jinghong has completely established his prestige among these people. Even if their identity is the same, everyone rushed over quickly when he heard that he invited him.

After meeting, Xu Jinghong did not say anything else, but went straight to the topic: "Six brothers, do you remember the two brothers we sent the next day after the war with the barbarians? They haven't returned to the team until now. I'm very worried.

"What, Lao Tian hasn't come back yet?" Zheng Tong also frowned when he heard the words. After all, they are not Xu Jinghong's subordinates. Naturally, they will not always pay attention to his absence.

"So... could it be that they made something wrong on the road or being barbarians..." Some people speculated a little uneasily. This is also what others thought of, because there seems to be no other possibility.

But Xu Jinghong shook his head: "This should not be very likely. Along the way, the barbarians did not show up again. They should have been hit hard by us. It is impossible to think of ambushing us halfway. And they couldn't have thought that we would send someone to set the west later to prepare early. Moreover, even if Ten thousand steps back, Lao Tian and others really bumped into the barbarians, it would be a fierce battle. It's not easy to take them down. How can we not see any trace of the battle along the way?

"Team Xu is right." Zheng Tong also nodded: "The barbarians were killed and injured by our counterattack, and it is impossible to set up an ambush in a short time. But in this case, where did Lao Tian and the others go?

"This is the reason why I came here. I think they should have entered Dingxi, but somehow they lost their freedom. Xu Jinghong pondered for a moment and said, "I would like to ask you to help me check with your own relationship to see if they have really come to Dingxi." Xu Jinghong has actually guessed something, but now he doesn't want to say it. After all, there is no evidence in his hand now.

Several people quickly agreed: "Yes, let's find someone to investigate on their behalf. As long as they have really been to Dingxi, we will definitely get some information from other brothers.

"Thank you very much!" Xu Jinghong quickly bowed to them.

"Hey, we are also brothers who have experienced difficulties now. Lao Tian and others are also our own brothers. This is what we should do." After a few words of humility, several people hurried out to think about their own ideas.

Xu Jinghong calmed down a little and continued to pick up his rice bowl and eat. After eating two bites, Xiong Geng, who was guarding in front of the tent, raised the curtain and said, "The team is looking for you."

"Oh?" Xu Jinghong was stunned. He didn't know who would come to find him. He didn't have any acquaintances in Dingxi. However, when he saw the people coming in, Xu Jinghong quickly stood up and said, "I've seen General Wang!" It was Wang Junqing who had a relationship with him before.

"Sit down, you and I have some friendship, so don't be so courteous." Wang Junqing said to Xu Jinghong with a smile and began to looked at him. Xu Jinghong now looks much more energetic than when he was in the mine before, and the light in his eyes is much brighter than at that time, so he can't help nodding: "Okay, you have really made great progress. No wonder you can lead a team carrying grain to kill the barbarians."

Xu Jinghong was not very polite. He sat down first. Hearing his words with appreciation, he smiled and said, "This is nothing. The inferiority is just doing what he should do."

"Although that's the case, do you know that this is a rare achievement in killing the enemy in the northwest for more than a decade." Wang Junqing smiled and said, "The heads of hundreds of barbarians are enough to report to the Ministry of War to ask for your credit."

"This is the result of the soldiers fighting the enemy bravely. If the general is really rewarded, I hope everyone can be rewarded. Moreover, those brothers who died in the war also..." Xu Jinghong continued hurriedly.

"Hey, you can really go along." Wang Junqing smiled and shook his head again and said, "But you did something wrong when you entered the city, which made your opinion in the hearts of other generals in the city not so good."

"General refers to my behavior against Ye Tao?" Xu Jinghong's smile on his face restrained, and he thought that the other party was here to plead guilty.

"Yes, although you have grown your own prestige by doing this, have you ever thought about what other generals will think of this matter? Although they will think that Ye Tao is boring and deserves it, a team that pledges grain has disarmed the same guards as them. Will they really appreciate you? Wang Junqing shook his head and sighed, "The army also needs to be seniority. You have offended all the generals when you make such a fuss."

"General Wang, are you here to condemn me?" Xu Jinghong asked angrily.

Seeing Xu Jinghong's idea, Wang Junqing laughed again: "He is still too young and too susceptible to people's behavior and words. How can he really become a general?"

"Hmm?" Hearing the appreciation in the other party's words, Xu Jinghong felt even more puzzled. It seemed that he was not here to question the crime. Then why did he say so?

"I understand what you think. What the army is talking about is a brave word. If you really want to be captured at that time, your life in the army will be sad, so it is natural for you to resist. However, in your current identity, it is still a little Meng Lang to do such a thing, so those generals have those views not because you have done such a tough thing, but because of your identity. Do you understand now?

"I'm a little confused..." Xu Jinghong said with a wry smile, and he really couldn't figure out the other party's intention.

"I'm telling you this is nothing more than telling you a truth. In our Song army, in addition to having courage, you also need to act according to your own conditions, and you are just a team now, and you need to work harder and make more contributions."

It turned out that the other party was encouraging himself by saying so much. Xu Jinghong was relieved and smiled again: "Thank you for the general's encouragement. I will definitely not let you down!"

"Well, in fact, you have made contributions now, but this is not enough to make them look at you with new eyes, so you should show your strengths in this battle with the barbarians. I'm still very optimistic about you." After saying so many fores that made Xu Jinghong express his position, Wang Junqing stopped going around the circle and went straight to the point: "I came to you today for the ambush of barbarians a few days ago and defeated them."

"Haven't you already written a war report on this matter? Why do you have to say anything else?" Xu Jinghong asked strangely.

"Since the barbarians can send a team to attack our food lane, there will be a second and third... So we need to be fully prepared. Today, the general wants to see you, so let me invite you.

"What? Does Marshal Wang want to see me? Xu Jinghong was even more surprised to hear this. What is your identity? A small team, a small officer who escorted food to Dingxi, how could he lead a hundred thousand troops in the southwest? Wang Chong, who had to deal with countless big and small affairs, mentioned that he wanted to see himself?

"That's right. The general will wait for you at the Shuai's house at noon tomorrow. I hope you don't forget."

"I will definitely arrive on time!" Although he didn't know Wang Chong's intention to see him, Xu Jinghong still felt that this was a good opportunity for him to make a difference in the army from then on.

"Okay, I've said everything I want to say, so you can have a good rest." Wang Junqing said that he wanted to leave.

Unexpectedly, Xu Jinghong suddenly said, "General, slow down. There is one thing I want to ask the general for help."

"Oh? Tell me about it?"

Xu Jinghong then told the disappearance of Tian Dahu and others. He felt that with the help of a big man like Wang Junqing, it would be easier for them to find old dogs.

Hearing what he said, Wang Junqing frowned and saw Xu Jinghong have some more admiration. However, he didn't say what he thought, but nodded and said, "Okay, I'll check it for you. As long as they do enter my Dingxi City, I will definitely find out their whereabouts!" This is not a big deal. Wang Junqing's scouts still have the responsibility of supervision in the city. Naturally, there is nothing to hide from him.

"So, thank you, General Wang!"
