Chapter 127 Bai Renxuan's Persuasion
Regarding Wang Muzhi's kindness, Chen Dechang, his boss, was not polite and just moved in with his people.
"This Wang Muzhi, I originally heard that he was a very honest official, but now it seems that he is also very good at enjoying himself?" He stepped on the thick carpet under his feet and looked at the various exquisite gold items in Wang Muzhi's tent.
Silver tableware, Chen Dechang stroked the white beard on his chin, and said jokingly to the white-robed scholar beside him:
"Sir, if you like it, let's take all these things back to the house!" Before the white-robed Confucian scholar could speak, the tall and muscular man in the tent with a sinewy face answered in a loud voice:
"Ma Dachui, you fool!" Chen Dechang, who was already used to it when he heard his most powerful general saying such words, shook his head and said helplessly:
Seeing Chen Dechang's expression, Ma Dachui, who had wanted to say a few nice words to please him, suddenly felt at a loss and looked at the white-robed Confucian scholar as if asking for help.
However, the white-robed Confucian scholar ignored him. Seeing this, Chen Dechang waved his hand and ordered: "Okay, you have nothing to do with Dachui here. You go back and have a good sleep. By the way, tell the guards not to let other people go."
Come in, Mr. Bai and I have something to discuss!"
"yes!"
After receiving the order, Ma Dachui immediately handed over his hands and retreated from the camp as if he had been granted amnesty.
"What an idiot..." Looking at his leaving figure, Chen Dechang laughed and cursed again.
As Ma Dachui left, the white-robed Confucian scholar Bai Renxuan, Chen Dechang's mastermind, slowly spoke:
"Master Marquis, I have done some research over the past few days and found out about Wang Muzhi. He is indeed very self-disciplined, not greedy for money, and has no weaknesses."
"As for these things, they should all be rewarded to him by the Chief Assistant. Lord Shangguan really loves General Wang. He has rewarded him with more than a thousand taels of silver over the years. Other gold, silver, jewelry, and land are not included.
!”
When he heard Bai Renxuan talk about the main topic and Wang Muzhi, Chen Dechang suddenly lost the smile on his face and sat on the Taishi chair made of rosewood, keeping his face silent.
Seeing Chen Dechang like this, Bai Renxuan sighed secretly in his heart. Even though he knew the answer, he couldn't help but raised his hands and admonished: "Master Hou, why are you doing this..."
"
Seeing Bai Renxuan still trying to persuade him, Chen Dechang waved his hand directly, interrupted Bai Renxuan's speech, and said firmly with a stern face:
"Although I don't want to sit in this position, but since I have no choice but to be carried to this position, then I have to be a true third-grade commander!"
"I have been fighting for decades in my life as a soldier. I have seen the wind and rain, the flash of swords and the shadow of swords. How can I, when I am old, give Wang Muzhi a wet boy and be a puppet that has been made empty?
?”
Bai Renxuan, a white-robed Confucian scholar, looked very depressed after hearing this. As Chen Dechang's mastermind, no matter what his considerations were, he naturally did not want Chen Dechang, who was already sunset and was about to become a beggar, to be with Chen Dechang.
Wang Muzhi, a vigorous and enterprising man who was favored by Shangguan Hongyuan and had a bright future, went head-on to gain some power from the Zhenwu Army!
In his opinion, being a big Buddha who is enshrined is actually quite good for Chen Dechang now. He doesn't have to worry about anything. Wang Muzhi has achieved results. As a commander, he can naturally share some of the credit.
, even if Wang Muzhi fails, in the end he can be pushed by Wang Muzhi, and he can move forward and retreat freely, and he can do anything...
However, what Bai Renxuan did not expect was that Chen Dechang, a military general, ruthlessly rejected such an idea.
This fifty-year-old veteran has a temper that has been tempered by time, but no matter what, Chen Dechang cannot accept that he is ignored by his subordinates in his team and becomes a mascot in name only!
Feeling Chen Dechang's stubbornness and persistence, Bai Renxuan shook his head. Although he didn't want to see things develop in a direction he didn't want to see, since Chen Dechang had already made a decision, what could he, as a counselor, do?
?
Even if it was to repay Chen Dechang's life-saving and sheltering kindness back then, even though he knew he couldn't do it, he could only bite the bullet and help Chen Dechang give it a try. He immediately shook his head and said:
"According to the arrangements of the Ministry of War, 60% of the Zhenwu Army's commanders, sentinel commanders and other official positions are held by people drawn from the Shenwu Army, and most of them are Wang Muzhi's former subordinates.
Loyal…”
Listening to Bai Renxuan talking about this, and recalling what he saw and felt in the military camp during the day, Chen Dechang not only hammered the table hard, squinted his eyes, and said bitterly:
"It seems that our commander is very resentful of me, an old man, for taking his position as commander. Today, the commander is not even willing to say a word!"
"I heard that the Chief Assistant has already given him a good beating, but General Wang, who is in a high position at a young age and has arrogance in his heart, found it difficult to accept this fact for a while. It is understandable when you think about it!" Bai Renxuan advised:
Upon hearing this, Chen Dechang pondered for a moment and his expression recovered. Seeing this, Bai Renxuan continued the topic and continued:
"Those people under Wang Muzhi are all his die-hard loyalists, so you don't need to put any effort into them. The remaining 40% of the commanders and captains are the ones you can fight for, sir!"
"The plan given by the Ministry of War, of the remaining 40% of the quota of commanders and sentry commanders, 20% is reserved for the Gongsun family of Liaoyang and other local forces in Liaoyang, and the remaining 20% of the quota is to be taken from Hu.
The Forbidden Army such as Jie, Tieqi, Xuanwu and others will dispatch military attaches!"
"Sir, you must win over these people and not let them be won over by Wang Muzhi, otherwise you, this puppet, will really take over!"
At the end of the story, Bai Renxuan even made a small joke with Chen Dechang.
Chen Dechang stroked the white beard on his chin and said confidently:
"Don't worry, I have been in Liaoyang for seven or eight years, and I have always had a good relationship with this old guy Gongsun Heng. Needless to say, he will definitely support me in the Zhenwu Army!"
"As for the remaining 20%, I am the commander. With this level of status, naturally I cannot let Wang Muzhi draw people over under my nose. With these four people at my disposal, I am in the Zhenwu Army.
