Fengtian, Grand Marshal's Mansion.
A heavy snowfall lasted from the 28th of December to the morning of the 30th of the Lunar New Year. The deepest part of the snow was knee-deep.
"Auspicious snow is a sign of a bumper year. Next year will be another bumper year!”
"Marshal, your literary talent is outstanding. This subordinate admires you ~"
"Yang Tingyu, you know how to flatter?”
"No, this subordinate is speaking from the bottom of my heart. How can I flatter you?”
hahaha ~
Zhang Tianlin and Yang Tingyu, the chief councilor of the Three Eastern Provinces Inspection Department and the supervisor of the three provinces 'arsenal, were enjoying the snow in the garden. The two of them chatted happily.
As they chatted, Zhang Tianlin realized that he could not help but walk to the courtyard of Second Madam Gu Yazhi.
The sharp Yang Tingyu also noticed it, and his gaze was a little strange.
In the past two months, Zhang Xuejun had been spammed a lot. The entire northeast was filled with news about him. How many bandits had he killed today and how many horse bandits had he killed tomorrow? They were all shocking topics.
Yang Tingyu was a senior figure in the Northern Military Government. He knew that Zhang Tianlin was focusing on raising his wife's son, Zhang Xueliu, and was not concerned about his other sons.
Zhang Xuejun was so useless in the past and had embarrassed Zhang Tianlin. How could this scheming, shrewd, and domineering man give him a good face? Basically, he wouldn't even look at it.
In the end, ever since Zhang Tianlin skipped over the Black Province Military Governor Wu Junsheng and personally appointed Zhang Xuejun as Anda County Head and Anda Security Regiment Leader, Zhang Xuejun, this coward, had shocked everyone.
What surprised Yang Tingyu even more was that Wu Junsheng, one of the veterans of the Northern Battlefront Army and Zhang Tianlin's most trusted sworn brother, the Military Governor of the Black Province, actually let Zhang Xuejun go. He even asked his daughter Wu Yaxin to lead 500 cavalrymen to help Zhang Xuejun.
Isn't it strange?
The Northern Battlefront Army was discussing whether the marshal was supporting Zhang Xuejun.
This was a big problem.
Before Zhang Xuejun rose to power, Zhang Tianlin had carefully nurtured Zhang Xueliu, who had always been a civil official and general of the Northern Battlefront Army government. He was the young commander in the eyes of the 200,000 soldiers of the Northern Battlefront Army.
Zhang Xueliu was indeed outstanding. The proud soldiers and valiant generals were quite satisfied and did not have any objections.
However, in the past two months, Zhang Xuejun's performance was even more dazzling than Zhang Xueliu's.
After all, no matter how outstanding Zhang Xueliu was, everything was built on Zhang Tianlin's support. The resources in the jurisdiction of the Northern Battlefront Army government were freely mobilized, and the veterans of the Northern Battlefront Army, Zhang Zuoxiang, and others who were loyal to Zhang Tianlin, fully supported him. Otherwise, how could he become a lieutenant general at the age of 22?
As for Zhang Xuejun, who was usually disliked?
There was nothing. They were penniless. Only Gu Yazhi sent 500 martial arts students and gave them some supplies.
In the end, Zhang Xuejun forcefully brought a group of mobs to fight and beat the bandits of the Black Province into a mess.
How serious was the bandit problem in the Black Province?
It could be said that the 50,000 elite soldiers of the Northern Battlefront Army would not be able to find a way out.
Zhang Xuejun, however, took a different approach. He fought while recruiting the bandits, and then let the recruited bandits lead the way. He used all kinds of tactics that seemed to be "despicable" to divide and surround them, easily solving the long-standing problem of the bandits in the Black Province.
For example, there was a bandit suppression battle. A group of about 1200 bandits relied on the terrain advantage to defend themselves. Their firepower was also very strong. It was impossible to attack them head-on. Back then, Wu Junsheng sent 5,000 soldiers to eliminate them, but they returned in failure.
Unfortunately, Zhang Xuejun was not a normal person. With his inhuman martial strength, he led his personal bodyguard, Xiong Da and Xiong Er, the famous killing god of the northeast, Qin Zhen, and two agile martial arts students of the Gu family to form a special forces team called "Dragon Tooth". They sneaked into the bandits 'lair from the cliffs that were almost impossible for ordinary people to climb. They poisoned the water source and cruelly poisoned hundreds of bandits. They also detonated the arsenal and slaughtered the bandits in the chaos.
The 7,000 Anda County Security Regiment took the opportunity to attack and won.
Was he despicable?
It wasn't despicable, but rather admirable.
Zhang Xuejun called this tactic a special operation, and it was often used in raider battles.
Amazing!
Yang Tingyu had to admit that Zhang Xuejun's tactics were indeed impressive.
They would select elite soldiers with extraordinary talents and strong military skills, distribute them with well-made and powerful weapons, and through strict training, they would be specialized in carrying out sabotage behind enemy lines, beheading enemy commanders, poisoning, arson, and assassination. Their methods were brutal, and their goals were clear. They could often win by surprise and catch the enemy off guard.
Genius, a genius tactic!
"Marshal, isn't Ninth Young Master coming back for the New Year?”
Ha!
Zhang Tianlin snorted coldly. His expression was like an old man who had been forgotten by his children.
Yang Tingyu, who was observing carefully, was surprised.
The usually domineering and dignified marshal actually had a look of resentment and longing on his face when he mentioned Zhang Xuejun.
Strange, it was too strange.
" F * ck, this dog left Fengtian like a wild dog. He didn't even send a telegram. How could he remember to reply..."
"Yo, old man, who are you calling a wild dog? If I were a wild dog, you would be an old dog!”
A lazy and cynical voice sounded. Zhang Tianlin and Yang Tingyu turned their heads to look.
On the snowy ground not far away, Zhang Xuejun had returned. Behind him, Xiong Da and Xiong Er were carrying a huge pile of things.
It looked like it was New Year's goods.
When Zhang Tianlin saw Zhang Xuejun, a hint of joy flashed in the depths of his eyes.
Pfft, I met this old man when I came back. How unlucky!
A familiar voice sounded in his ears, and a few black lines appeared on Zhang Tianlin's forehead.
Damn it, it's bad luck to see me?
Lawless, this little bastard had rebelled.
"Brat, are you itching for a beating?"
"It's very itchy. Old man, can you help me loosen it?”
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Zhang Xuejun twisted his neck and made a crisp sound.
Thinking of this brat's perverted martial arts, Zhang Tianlin was so angry that he gritted his teeth. He could not do anything to this troublemaker.
If she couldn't beat him, she would be scolded, and she would be angered to death by his broken mouth.
"Little Jiu, you're still willing to come back. I thought you forgot that you still have a home!”
Eh, the old man's words were sour and a little resentful. He really looked like a resentful little wife! Pui, disgusting!
Zhang Tianlin was speechless.
I'll endure it, I'll endure it. I can't get angry.
"Brat, think carefully before you speak. Don't force me to slap you on New Year's Eve!”
"Uh, well, old man, you know that I'm busy exterminating bandits. I don't have time to go back to Fengtian. I came back for the new year and brought you a gift. I guarantee that you'll be so happy that you won't be able to close your mouth.”
"Oh, what gift?"
"Big Bear, bring it up!"
