Lieutenant General Zhang's flattering posture was very good.
But in fact, he was somewhat resentful towards the Baili family. He had been in the army for more than ten years and considered himself brave and resourceful, but he had always been a deputy general and felt unwilling to do so.
Later, he was bribed by the Prime Minister's staff in the north.
Over the years, he has successively sold some information and inside stories about the northern military camp to the Prime Minister's staff in exchange for some benefits.
"Vice General Zhang, my prince has heard General Shao praise you many times. He said that you are one of the most capable lieutenants under his command."
"That's General Shao's overestimation. The last general would not dare to do so."
One of the most capable lieutenants, he is the most capable one.
He killed the most enemies, but all the credit was taken away by General Shao.
General Shao was promoted from an ordinary general to a great general step by step. What about him?
Still a lieutenant general.
Lao Shao didn't like him at all. Let alone promoting him, it was already good enough that he didn't have to wear small shoes for him.
Vice General Zhang muttered in his heart.
Baili Hengtian said, "I know that Vice General Zhang has lofty ambitions and has always wanted to make meritorious deeds and be promoted to general."
Baili Hengtian looked at Vice General Zhang. Vice General Zhang had a thick body and dark skin. He looked to be in his thirties. This age is the best on the battlefield. He has physical strength and is not old yet. But if in a few years
If you can't be promoted to general, you will have to retire and return home.
It must be that Vice General Zhang was unwilling to give up, so he followed the Prime Minister's plan to win people's hearts.
"Vice-General Zhang, there is a good opportunity to make a meritorious service right in front of you. The Netherworld Kingdom is sending people to attack. I have just dispatched a group of soldiers to stop it, but I lack a commanding person. Why not give this important task to Vice-General Zhang?"
?”
"Your Majesty...why don't you take command personally?"
Baili Hengtian said, "Because they are just a surprise attack, and such a surprise attack may happen again, I must reserve my energy to deal with the real war."
"So, I am sending you, Deputy General Zhang, to take the lead. I wonder if Deputy General Zhang dares to take on this task? You know, on the battlefield, the consequence of failure is to show your head!"
This was an opportunity, but also a fatal risk. After a lot of tangles, Lieutenant General Zhang gritted his teeth and accepted the task of dealing with the enemy.
"Your Majesty, unless I die, I will never let anyone from the Kingdom of the Underworld enter the city. If you can't do that, just use military law to deal with me."
"Okay, I believe you."
Baili Hengtian handed over the command order to Deputy General Zhang.
Vice General Zhang looked at the token and his hands trembled.
This token can mobilize up to five thousand troops.
"Your Majesty, do you know how many people were involved in the raid?"
"It's only three thousand, so five thousand men and horses are enough."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will go and fight the enemy right away!"
Vice General Zhang selected a few subordinates who usually flattered him, and then went up to the city wall with the command token.
As expected, there were not many people who made the raid, but it was obvious that these thousands of people were the elites of the Netherland Kingdom.
There are five thousand people on the city wall. Although there are more people than in the underworld country, if you want to defend the city, you still need to pay the price of blood.
There is no room for scheming and deception on the battlefield. It is a battle of blood and blood, and every soldier must fight with his body to gain military merit.
Vice General Zhang was very hardworking, because he had waited for more than ten years for an opportunity to finally come. He led five thousand soldiers to defend for a whole night, and the people of the Netherland Kingdom were finally forced to retreat by him.
In the early morning, Baili Hengtian went to the city gate to commend some soldiers for their bravery. He also praised Vice General Zhang and gave him the next task of defending the city.
Lieutenant General Zhang immediately felt that he was being used in an important way. He thought that as long as he survived this test, he would be promoted to general, and he was very happy.
