About a quarter of an hour later, upon being summoned by Zhao Junchen, Wu Jiyun took the lead in entering Zhao Junchen's room to meet him.
Probably because of his life experience, Wu Jiyun has always been taciturn and gloomy. He did not show any attitude or inclination after meeting Zhao Junchen. He just saluted and greeted Zhao Junchen according to the rules and then stood quietly in front of Zhao Junchen with his hands lowered.
Waiting for Zhao Junchen to speak first.
After Zhao Junchen looked at Wu Jiyun carefully for a moment, he asked: "Wu Qianhu, I heard that you are also a general. Your father, Wu Shanqi, was once the East Road General of Liaodong Town, and he was the sworn brother of General He Yu.
, and even have the opportunity to take over the position of the commander-in-chief of Liaodong Town.
However, something unexpected happened. When your father joined forces with General He Yu to fight against the Jurchens in Jianzhou, he died on the battlefield trying to cover the retreat of General He Yu. So General He Yu adopted you as his adopted son and raised you personally.
Cultivate, right?”
When talking about Wu Shanqi's death experience in battle, Zhao Junchen deliberately emphasized the word "cover".
Wu Jiyun couldn't help but frown, and finally his mood fluctuated, and he replied: "He Zongbing told me this."
In other words, just like the information provided by He Rensheng, Wu Jiyun has always suspected the truth about Wu Shanqi's death, believing that He Yu stabbed his father to death in the back in order to compete for the position of commander-in-chief.
Zhao Junchen thought carefully for a moment and thought that with He Yu's determination and ruthlessness, it was indeed possible to do such a thing.
So, Zhao Junchen asked again: "He Yu is your adoptive father. He has died mysteriously now. You must be particularly sad, right?"
Wu Jiyun shook his head directly and said: "After my father died in the war, the commander-in-chief said to his subordinates, 'The dead are dead, and the living should be like this'; another year later, my mother was also heartbroken.
If you follow your father, your family will be ruined. Lord General Bing also told Beizi that a real man only needs to look forward and upward... Therefore, Beiji will follow Lord General Bing's teachings and will not be particularly sad."
Hearing what Wu Jiyun said, Zhao Junchen couldn't help but smile softly, feeling that this person was more interesting than he thought.
"Look forward, look up... In this case, Wu Qianhu, you don't want to explore the truth about your father's death in battle?" Zhao Junchen asked leisurely.
Wu Jiyun's body suddenly shook and he suddenly raised his head.
Of course he wants to know the truth about his father's death in battle!
This matter has already become an obsession in Wu Jiyun's heart for many years. Even after He Yu has died, this obsession has not diminished at all.
After Wu Jiyun hesitated for a moment, he couldn't help but asked: "Zhao Gechen, you...do you know something?"
Zhao Junchen shook his head and said: "I don't know anything, but there must be someone in the Jinzhou Camp today who knows the truth!"
Wu Jiyun is a smart man. His eyes flashed immediately and he asked: "Liu Xiong?"
Zhao Junchen nodded and said: "Liu Xiong!"
Liu Xiong is the son of He Yu's family tenant. He followed He Yu into the army when he was still underage. He has been with He Yu for many years. He was gradually promoted from He Yu's personal guard to become a member of the Liaodong Cavalry Qianhu. He also participated in the army that year.
Of course he knew the truth about the battle in which Wu Shanqi was killed.
In fact, Zhao Junchen had pretended to be collided by Liu Xiong and deliberately fell off his horse to make himself embarrassed in front of everyone. He took the opportunity to detain Liu Xiong just for this moment.
After Wu Jiyun took a deep breath, he slowly said: "But because Liu Xiong disturbed Zhao Gechen's car due to the collision, he is currently detained in the military prison of Jinzhou Camp. Jinzhou Guard Peng Ji is responsible for the custody. His humble position is probably
I am unable to intervene...but Zhao Gechen, you must have a way, otherwise you would not mention these things to your humble position, right?"
Zhao Junchen smiled again, nodded and said: "I like smart people very much."
After saying that, Zhao Junchen pushed a warrant in front of Wu Jiyun and said: "Liu Xiong is the Qianhu of the Liaodong Cavalry after all, so it's better for you, the Liaodong Cavalry, to take care of him! Take this warrant and go find Peng Ji. He
Naturally, I will sell this pavilion a favor and hand over Liu Xiong to your care. It is up to you to decide what to do with Liu Xiong next."
After a pause, Zhao Junchen added: "However, I have a condition! I am currently busy with logistics matters and do not want to be distracted from other things, so after leaving Liu Xiong under your care, the subsequent consequences will
All the troubles will have to be stopped by you alone!"
Wu Jiyun is indeed a smart man. He knows exactly what "trouble" Zhao Junchen refers to, and he also vaguely guesses the real reason for Zhao Junchen's series of actions.
Once Liu Xiong is handed over to Wu Jiyun's custody, with He Rensheng's wisdom and vision, he will definitely realize the danger of this matter and will definitely find a way to take Liu Xiong away.
But He Rensheng currently has no soldiers and no power. If he wants to take Liu Xiong away from Wu Jiyun, he can only unite the ordinary border military attachés in the Jinzhou camp who are still loyal to He Yu to put pressure on Wu Jiyun.
In this way, whether it is Wu Jiyun, He Rensheng, or the ordinary border military attachés who are still loyal to He Yu in the Jinzhou camp, they will all start fierce battles around Liu Xiong, and naturally they will have no time to take care of other things.
Something happened.
Under such circumstances, Zhao Junchen would be more confident that he could empty the Jinzhou Camp's military inventory without telling them.
Wu Jiyun didn't know Zhao Junchen's plan to move the air force's inventory, but he knew that Zhao Junchen must have wanted to take the opportunity to divert everyone's attention.
However, the truth about his father's murder was right in front of him. Wu Jiyun did not want to consider Zhao Junchen's real plan, and immediately nodded and said: "If taking over Liu Xiong in a humble position will cause all kinds of troubles, he will definitely handle it on his own and will never let it happen."
If Zhao Gechen is distracted... he will never let anyone else be distracted."
Zhao Junchen smiled again and said: "You are indeed a smart man! If you later learn the truth about that year, maybe the two of us will have a chance to cooperate."
What Zhao Junchen meant was that if Wu Shanqi's death in the battle was really due to He Yu's backstabbing plot, then he would also help Wu Jiyun take revenge on He Yu's family.
After all, if He Yu had not stabbed Wu Shanqi in the back, he might not have been able to successfully become the commander-in-chief of Liaodong Town. Therefore, all the glory and wealth that the He family currently enjoys was largely stolen from Wu Jiyun's family.
After Wu Jiyun was silent for a moment, he raised his hand to take the order placed in front of him by Zhao Junchen, nodded and said: "Beizhi always has a clear distinction between grudges and grudges. Repay kindness with kindness! Revenge with hatred! If the truth that Beizhi knows is consistent with his guess, then
I will definitely turn to Minister Zhao again for help at any cost, but if the truth I know from my humble position is inconsistent with my guess, I will also do my best to repay the kindness of Lord Commander!"
After saying that, Wu Jiyun took the order into his arms. Seeing that Zhao Junchen had nothing else to say, he said goodbye and left.
"The grievances are clear... How can there be such a good thing in this world! After all, he is a young man, always holding unrealistic fantasies..."
Looking at Wu Jiyun's leaving figure, Zhao Junchen gently shook his head in disapproval.

Soon after, another Liaodong cavalryman Qianhu Yan Zhen also appeared in front of Zhao Junchen.
According to He Rensheng, Yan Zhen is a veteran of the Liaodong Cavalry. He has outstanding military exploits and bravery in combat, but he has always disagreed with Liaodong Town's approach of supporting troops and creating trouble for bandits. He would raise objections from time to time, but He Yu still cherished him.
Because of his talent, he has always been retained as the leader of the Liaodong cavalry, and he will be entrusted with important tasks every time he faces the Jianzhou Jurchens.
Zhao Junchen first chatted with Yan Zhen seemingly casually, taking the opportunity to verify his position and talents.
It didn't take long for Zhao Junchen to come to the conclusion that Yan Qianhu was indeed an ideal military attache from the feudal dynasty. Not only was he hardworking and brave, but he also wanted to be loyal to the emperor, serve the country, and leave a name in history.
Although such characters are rare, you can still encounter one or two occasionally.
In short, if this Yan Qianhu met He Zhang, who is currently serving as a casual post in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, the two people would hit it off and quickly become close friends.
Zhao Junchen could handle He Zhang easily in the beginning, but now he sees Yan Zhen, who is in a similar situation to He Zhang, and naturally he is also very familiar with it.
I saw Zhao Junchen first sincerely express his admiration for Yan Zhen, then sincerely explain a lot of high-sounding principles, and finally solemnly stated that he would listen to Yan Zhen carefully.
Regarding relevant comments, I hope that I and Yan Zhen can trust each other and help each other.
Yan Zhen was naturally deeply moved by Zhao Junchen's ecstasy. Although he still did not completely trust Zhao Junchen, he responded positively.
Then, Yan Zhen fell into Zhao Junchen's trap.
Only Yan Zhen said loudly: "Zhao Gechen, Beizhi has never known how to hide things. Since you said you are willing to listen to Beizhi's opinion, Beizhi will speak out! Judging from the intelligence collected so far, Jianzhou Jurchen
This time the invasion of troops is definitely no small matter. Even if Governor Wu is able to block the main attack of the Jianzhou Jurchens, he may not be able to stop the Jianzhou Jurchens from dividing their troops to plunder. Therefore, we must seize the time to integrate the Jinzhou camp.
Once the army receives a request for help, it must promptly send troops to support..."
Zhao Junchen nodded in agreement, and then asked: "Who does Yan Qianhu think is the most suitable person to be responsible for integrating the troops in Jinzhou Camp?"
Without any surprise, Yan Zhen held his head high and said loudly again: "I think I am the most suitable person, so I will do my duty!"
Zhao Junchen also looked completely trusting and nodded: "It is not convenient for me to interfere in the military affairs of the Jinzhou camp, but I am willing to fully support Yan Qianhu's idea! I will definitely convince you when I see Peng Shoubei next time.
He handed over part of the troops of Jinzhou Camp to Yan Qianhu's command... Well, I remember that the terrain ten miles north of Jinzhou Camp is flat and vast, which is suitable for Yan Qianhu to train troops and prepare for war!"
Hearing what Zhao Junchen said, Yan Zhen was immediately overjoyed, and then said goodbye to Zhao Junchen, happily preparing to train his troops.
In this way, Zhao Junchen successfully sent Yan Zhen away and allowed him to temporarily leave Jinzhou Camp.
After this series of operations, it is not far away from Zhao Junchen's complete control of Jinzhou Camp.
But just when Zhao Junchen began to think about the follow-up plan, Peng Ji hurried over, asked to see him again, and reported to Zhao Junchen the attitude of the eunuch Yao Rang.
