Chapter 416: The Old Man Comes

The fifth is sent, and there are only a few votes left on the history monthly ticket list, brothers!

The eighth day of the lunar month.

As soon as Luo Cheng got up in the morning, he heard a report from his own soldiers, saying that the new deputy envoy of Henan was waiting to see him outside.

"Arrest the deputy envoy?"

"It's the original Qi County Tongshou, and now he has been promoted to the deputy envoy of the arrest and the Taishou of Xingyang."

When Luo Cheng heard this, it turned out that the teacher Zhang Xutuo promoted the envoy, and hurriedly said, "Then I am a teacher, why didn't I report earlier?" ”

"That person turned out to be a handsome teacher, and he didn't say anything."

Luo Cheng didn't even wash, so he hurriedly ran to the front to meet Zhang Xutuo.

"Teacher, I didn't expect you to come in person, it should be me who went to see you."

I haven't seen him for two years, and the wrinkles on Zhang Xutuo's face seem to be more, and his back is still straight, but there is more wind and frost on his face. In the past two years, Luo Cheng fought in Liaodong, but Zhang Xutuo was fighting left and right in Henan, just like a sewing craftsman, sewing and mending everywhere. But after the thieves were exterminated, a group of bandits arose there, and the thieves begged more and more.

He stood there, looking at the young man who had been accepted by him for a while, and now he had become his top boss, and his heart was complicated. After taking a closer look, he found that Luo Cheng was really majestic the longer he was growing, eight feet tall, his body was getting stronger and stronger, and the muscles that were raised could be highlighted through his clothes.

Especially those eyes, which are eyes that have been through many things.

Experienced, matured.

"Actually, I just arrived, and I heard that you haven't gotten up yet, so I'll ask people not to disturb you."

Luo Cheng smiled and took Zhang Xutuo's hand and entered the house together, "The teacher is here, my protΓ©gΓ© has to go twenty miles away." I didn't even know that the teacher had been promoted to the deputy envoy of the arrest and the Taishou of Xingyang. Congratulations to the teacher, Gao Shengtaishou. ”

Xingyang is in the east of Luoyang, and Xingyang County is in the famous Tiger Prison Pass. Tiger Prison Pass is the east gate of Luoyang, the eastern capital, and it is very important.

Zhang Xutuo was able to be promoted to Xingyang Taishou, which fully shows that his performance in Qi County in recent years has been seen by the emperor and appreciated very much.

"It's quite helpless, I've always heard you fight in Liaodong in the past two years, and you have broken the city and destroyed the enemy, and I am very envious. You are fighting foreign enemies abroad, but I have been fighting thieves and bandits in Henan all day long, saying that they are bandits, but in fact, those people are just desperate people, and there are very few real bandits, and my hands have been stained with the blood of hundreds of people, and many people have scolded me as an executioner. ”

This is a heavy topic.

Indeed, there were not so many bandits during the Kaihuang Renshou period, and now there are suddenly bandits everywhere, in fact, they are all ant people who are forced to be helpless just to survive.

But Zhang Xutuo, as a soldier, is also a local official in charge of public security, and it is also his duty to suppress bandits.

One side is to maintain order, the other side is to live and live, and no one is just, but this kind of cannibalism really can't be put on the table.

"I have killed too many people in Liaodong, and I have done too many killings."

"As soldiers, killing is a profession, as long as we don't kill for the sake of killing, we can have the right conscience of heaven and earth." Zhang Xutuo comforted him.

"Is it okay at home?" Luo Cheng asked about Qi County's hometown.

"Not so good." Zhang Xutuo had also just received the edict of promotion, and after receiving the edict, he immediately rushed to Donglai from Qi County.

"In the past two years, bandits have been everywhere, especially after the Yellow River burst last summer, flooding more than 40 counties on both sides of the river, millions of people were affected, and many places lost their crops after the autumn. They crossed the border like locusts, and plundered from place to place, and some of them were vicious thieves, and even took captives to kill people and eat them. ”

Because of Zhang Xutuo in Qi County, the situation is finally better, and Changbai Mountain, a place that once became a den of thieves when the world was in chaos, has never been chaotic.

Although there are many thieves in Mount Tai, Zhang Xutuo also goes to sweep once in a while, and he does not let the thieves really become a climate.

"By the way, Fang Xuanling is now the commander of Qi County, Du Ruhui has also been promoted to Beihai County, and your father has just been promoted to Zhangqiu County."

Of the twelve counties in Henan, only Qi County has the best situation, and among the ten counties of Qi County, only Zhangqiu has the best situation. In addition, Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui are both from the court, and Luo Gui's son is now the prince of the country, so naturally they were all promoted this time.

Originally, my father was a county lieutenant, and at most he was promoted to the main book, but this time he was directly promoted to a county commander, and he didn't have to move the place.

Fang Du and the others were promoted to county officials.

"Actually, we are all stained with your light, otherwise, it would not have been possible to rise so fast and so high." Zhang Xutuo sighed, after fighting all his life, he is not as good as the young disciple Luo Cheng, and when he is old, he has to rely on the light of the disciple to rise to the position of Taishou.

"That's a teacher, you have already governed Qi County very well."

"The Crusade is finally over, and although it failed, it was fortunate that it didn't drag on for too long." Zhang Xutuo sighed, although 400,000 soldiers and horses were lost in Liaodong, more than 700,000 soldiers and horses finally returned, plus the millions of people who were conscripted before were able to return to their hometowns, and there is hope that the boiling chaos in the Central Plains can be restored.

No matter how jubilant those bandits and bandits were against the people before, it was just because the main force of the Weifu went to Liaodong, and now that the army is back in various places, how can they still make trouble.

No matter how noisy it is, it is just a bandit or a thief, and it is a chaotic people.

He Zhang Xutuo can barely maintain it only by relying on the old and weak county soldiers and villagers who have stayed in various places, and it is only a matter of time before the government soldiers return to their hometowns and restore local tranquility.

Luo Cheng took the teacher to have breakfast together, drank some morning tea, and chatted while eating, Luo Cheng also knew a lot more about the situation in his hometown in Qi County today, and he relied on family letters to understand some before.

Listening to Zhang Xutuo talk about Zhangqiu's siege of the city again and again in the past two years, Luo Cheng also felt extremely dangerous, and was also very surprised when he heard that Zhangqiu's Luo family was now famous in Henan.

"Lady Rohmon General? Binbin and the fourth sister-in-law actually trained a women's battalion, with 800 fierce women? ”

"It's not nice to say that a is not good, she should be called a healthy woman, no, it's a healthy woman... Women. Zhang Xutuo said hehehe.

"In the past two years, if it weren't for the help of your Luo family, I wouldn't have been able to maintain the stability of the place. Now, Uncle Bao is my vanguard, and your father and brother are my strong supporters. Your daughter-in-law is very powerful, and your two black and white maids are also quite good, and now they are called black and white by thieves, as for your daughter-in-law, she is called Rouge Tiger by thieves, plus the tigress of Luo Cunxiao's family, which is very famous. ”

Luo Cheng couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it.

Luo Cheng decided to return to his hometown in Zhangqiu, Qi County on the same day.

"The New Year is approaching, so I will seal the lock in advance and go home for the New Year."

"You are an ambassador of comfort and an ambassador of arrest, and you should be patrolling places." Zhang Xutuo reminded Luo Cheng.

"It's important to go home for the New Year's reunion, and as for the inspection of the place, let's talk about it after the New Year."
