Chapter 164: Offering gifts to ask for life, but also good ginseng soup
"Let's go back to the base first!" Ding Chengzhi's expression changed for a moment, and then he led a group of remaining soldiers towards the Japanese army's base.
After entering the main camp, the panicked and frightened students went to rest. Ding Chengzhi, Yan Yutang and the few remaining generals were relatively silent in the big tent.
"Uncle, what should we do next!" Yan Yutang said in a panic. How had he ever seen such a scene of blood flowing like a river? If Ding Chengzhi hadn't been pulling him all the way, his legs would have gone weak. Moreover, even if he was not familiar with it,
In military affairs, however, if you lose your city and lose your troops, you also know that this is a huge crime.
"For the current plan, I can only think of ways to shift the blame onto other people. If it is impossible, I have no choice but to plead guilty to Prime Minister Zhang." Ding Chengzhi said gloomily.
"But except for ourselves stationed in Hong County, there is no one else at all, how can we retreat from our responsibilities!" Yan Yutang said with fear.
"First of all, give a silence order to all the returning soldiers! The real situation is not allowed to be told. In addition, it is said that hundreds of scouts from the Zaoyang Army were chased by a small team of Jin soldiers. We sent people to rescue them, but they did not
We were cautious and fell into the trap. After carrying the package, the city was lost. However, we still fought a bloody battle and defeated three or four thousand enemies. However, the enemy's cavalry was powerful and our Japanese army was outnumbered, so we had to abandon the city and escape. And along the way, we
Still fighting bloody battles, and finally captured the Jin soldiers outside Sizhou!"
Ding Chengzhi's words made the eyes of those present brighten. Except for the so-called Zaoyang Army scouts at the beginning, these words could be true or false.
There was indeed a bloody battle in Hongxian City, but it was more about holding back Jin Bing and giving himself and others a chance to escape. This bloody battle was also real, but it was just a different explanation. As for the base outside Sizhou, anyway
Those golden soldiers never really came.
"Let Tan Hao secretly lead the troops to the border area. If I chase the Japanese soldiers and escape back, they will never be allowed to be taken away by others!" Ding Chengzhi said again.
"This...uncle, can Mr. Zhang believe it?" Yan Yutang asked curiously.
Ding Chengzhi sighed and shook his head, "Who knows what Prime Minister Zhang thinks? No matter what, let's try to push out the blame first! You go tell those students not to talk nonsense!"
Several people went to make arrangements. Ding Chengzhi thought for a moment and said to himself: "If you want to escape safely, you still need to ask someone..."
He changed into ordinary soldier clothes, took two followers, Ding Chengzhi, and quietly left the military camp and entered Sizhou City.
Arriving outside Zhang's Mansion, Ding Chengzhi found a remote alley to wait, and then ordered one of his followers to hide and the other to go to Zhang's Mansion.
Ding Chengzhi waited anxiously for about a quarter of an hour, when he saw the entourage slowly walking over with an old servant in brocade clothes. The old servant was none other than Zhang Yifu who was beside Zhang Jun.
The entourage disappeared, leaving only Ding Chengzhi and the old servant in the alley.
"I hope the boss will save this general's life for the sake of past kindness!" Ding Chengzhi did not hesitate and threw himself to the ground, crying in fear as he spoke!
Although Zhang Yifu is a servant, everyone knows that he is deeply trusted by Zhang Jun. Moreover, his words are very useful in front of Zhang Jun. Therefore, he is a servant at any time, but his power is even slightly greater than that of a high official in the imperial court.
two.
It is said that there are seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister, but this old servant, even if he is a third- or fourth-rank official in front of him, he still has to bow and say "Sir."
Looking at Ding Chengzhi who rushed towards him, Zhang Yifu said nothing with a smile on his face! After a long while, he slowly said: "General Ding, please get up quickly. I am just an old servant. If I am seen by others, I will be accused."
This is beyond disrespect!"
"Sir, this is a serious crime at the loss of an army. If you were not afraid of offending the Prime Minister, you should apologize in front of the Prime Minister at this moment." Ding Chengzhi did not get up, and even grabbed the ground with his head.
The old servant smiled slowly, "Haha... The master is naturally angry, but if I chop off the general's head, it may be able to calm down the master a little..."
Ding Chengzhi's expression changed, and he was speechless for a moment! Did he really offer his head to Zhang Jun to calm down? Then why did he come here?
Fortunately, the old servant did not continue to embarrass him, but said coldly: "General Ding, if you continue to talk these useless nonsense, then I will not accompany you! The master does not want me to be by your side. I will be away for a long time."
, I’m afraid the master will be angry..."
"Master, please don't leave, Master, please don't leave!" Ding Chengzhi stopped pretending. If the old servant in front of him really left, half of his life would be lost.
He quickly stood up and grabbed the old servant who turned to leave.
"Sir, I know that I am guilty of a serious crime and deserve to die. However, the ant is still greedy for life, so I still want to stay in this life and perform meritorious service to pay for my crime! Moreover, although I am stupid, I have always followed Zhang Xiang's lead! So,
, I would like to ask you to show mercy and say a few kind words in front of the prime minister..." As he said this, he took out a thick wad of silver notes from his arms and handed it to the old servant.
"Sir, this is the fifty thousand taels of silver that I have given to you to show my respect to you. If everything comes true, I will give you a generous gift. I hope you can save your life..."
The old servant looked at Ding Chengzhi, then reached out and took the silver.
"Since you have always followed the master, I will accept this money on my behalf. However, whether you want to live or not, naturally I dare not guarantee it, and I want the master to make a decision!"
The servant said calmly.
Ding Chengzhi was overjoyed when he heard this, "This is natural, this is natural! Thank you very much, Sir."
"Okay, I have to go back quickly! It's almost noon now, and I have already simmered a good ginseng soup for you. Every day after drinking this ginseng soup, I feel very good, so I can't delay!" After that,
Ignoring Ding Chengzhi, he turned around and left slowly.
Ding Chengzhi's expression changed for a moment, and then he hurried back to the military camp...
In the Zhang Mansion, the old servant looked happy and smiled as he watched Zhang Jun drink up the ginseng soup in the small bowl with a spoonful.
"Master, how does this ginseng soup taste today?" the old servant asked pleasantly.
"Haha... Yifu's ginseng soup has already reached the realm of perfection! In my opinion, if one day I give up this annoying aspect and open a restaurant with Yifu, and we don't sell anything else, just this ginseng soup,
Then it will spread throughout Lin'an City!" Zhang Jun said with a smile.
The old servant waved to the young man to clear the table, and then said with a smile: "My master is wrong! If I don't sit in this position, who else in the court can carry the backbone of the Song Dynasty? So, this
Naturally, the matter of opening a restaurant cannot be counted."
Zhang Jun laughed loudly and pointed at the old servant!
The old servant looked up and saw the boy at the door looking at him as if he had stepped out of the house. After a while, he came back and said to Zhang Jun: "Master, General Ding is here!"
