Chapter 368 Inside Story

Jiang Cheng received the official evaluation last year as "excellent", and he was the only excellent evaluation among the four eunuchs. In the previous briefing meeting, the commander Pang Ban named him three times in public. And praised him as: the pillar of Xuanqing Wei.

This kind of situation is rare, at least Pang Ban has never expressed his appreciation for someone so directly before, and Jiang Cheng is the first.

This also allowed Jiang Cheng to get a lot of career qualifications at the beginning of this year, which is extremely important for a person like him who has almost no support. This means that as long as he continues to follow Pang Ban without making major mistakes, and Pang Ban does not fall, then his career will once again have potential.

In fact, in other places, "official potential" is generally paid close attention to. But there are some differences in Xuanqingwei.

Before becoming a pacifier, he would indeed attract many people who would be the icing on the cake because of his "potential for official career". But after you become a pacifier, there won't be too many people to curry favor with you because of your "potential for official career".

This reason involves the accumulation of Xuanqingwei's upper-level power.

The Zhenfu envoy is a fourth-rank title, and above the Zhenfu envoy is the commander of the fourth rank.

However, the commander will not be responsible for specific affairs, but will be arranged to "sit" in the commander's office. Of course, it is not really sitting, but a practice of Xuan Qingwei, to put it bluntly, it is actually a forced retreat.

This is also the reason why only commanders and emissaries rarely see commanders.

Serving as an envoy in the Yuan Dan Realm is the threshold, and if you want to continue to climb up and sit in a higher position in Xuanqingwei's system, then your cultivation base must enter the later stage of the Yuan Dan Realm, that is, at least Yuan Dan Realm. Dan realm seven.

And those who have reached the seventh level of Yuan Dan Realm will have two choices.

The first is to serve as the commander, and the commander will make the Yamen retreat, and continue to attack the next realm, which is the Xuanhai realm. This is to maximize the growth of cultivation, put aside worldly disturbances, coupled with the full supply of resources, the main purpose is to cultivate high-end combat power for Xuan Qingwei.

But this is relatively not so flexible, and some people don't like the behavior of being forced to retreat and practice. So there is a second option.

The second choice is to enter Fenghong Villa and become a golden sword monk, bid farewell to Xuan Qingwei's system.

Jiang Cheng is now the governor of Jingxi, but he has never met any of the current commanders. I only know that there are four commanders from the third rank in the Commander's Yamen. These four came out after successfully advancing to the Xuanhai Realm from the previous commander's work. But it will also not have direct authority, and it will be more of a military force to sit in the Xuanqing Guard.

Jiang Cheng didn't know whether his potential could step into the seventh level of Yuandan Realm, but he knew where the path he wanted was. Give it a go, even if he can't continue to climb up because of his cultivation, at least he must earn enough qualifications and capital to secure his position as the governor of Jingxi Township.

That's why Jiang Cheng tried his best to perform after he became the governor of Jingxi Township. A big part of it was that he chose to trust his protégé Shen Hao, and his spare support was rewarded generously.

So when Shen Hao reported the powerful changes in the pilot plan of the Black Flag Camp in Fengri City for more than a month, Jiang Cheng's first reaction was "a clerical error", and then asked people to go to Fengri City to verify it on the spot, and finally proved it naturally Shen Hao has no "penal error", everything is true.

The mere Peiyuan Fang actually made such great progress after inclusively benefiting the grassroots soldiers, which made Jiang Cheng realize that his disciple was likely to make another big commotion.

Naturally, Jiang Chengcheng refocused his attention on the "big contest" that Shen Hao used to demonstrate his effectiveness.

Since the Black Flag Battalion in Fengri City has shown amazing progress, and as a disciple of himself, he has always done things safely, wouldn't he be able to show his face again?

Therefore, Jiang Chengcheng suppressed the "reward rules" first, and after weighing the pros and cons, he used the method of increasing rewards to change himself and the Jingxi Governor from bystanders to actual participants.

Once the bet is right, it will increase the career potential.

But on the ninth day of April, Pang Ban summoned him suddenly, almost disrupting Jiang Cheng's pace.

"The southern frontier has moved. Is this the "reminder" you mentioned earlier?"

Pang Ban said while throwing a copper bar into Jiang Cheng's hand.

When I opened it, I found that the copper bar was sent back by the Xuanqing Guard supervisor in the southern frontier army through the urgent report channel. It said that at noon on the eighth day of April, the southern frontier army began to fully enter the state of combat readiness, and all wartime posts were activated. There is even more news that as early as the end of March, three vanguard battalions went south to the Kundhuo Pass, and then encountered an established barbarian army in the Nanman area. Both sides killed several times, and each suffered damage.

The copper strip also said: "Then Zuo Yuliang, the chief military officer in the south, sent three additional 15,000 mixed partial troops to leave the Kunduo Pass.

The above information is rather general and not detailed at all, but considering the embarrassing position of the Xuanqing Guard Supervisor in the army, the information is already the best effort.

"Yes, my lord. I just didn't expect Zuo Yuliang's reaction to be so big and so fast."

Smiling, Pang Ban, who was leaning on the chair, continued: "Zuo Yuliang is a good general. He is not bad at leading the army, and the word "stable" is highlighted. This time, he was humiliated by the secret agents of your Black Flag Camp and the Hongli Chamber of Commerce. There is nothing wrong with the news of the fire, and there is nothing wrong with going out twice. The first time was a test, and the second time with 15,000 people, I think the stubbornness of the pre-exploration is false, and the establishment of prominent points to wait for observation is the truth.

This response was also worthy of Zuo Yuliang's reputation. However, according to your judgment, Nanman deliberately put on a posture to take advantage of the situation. The real intention is to let the red-eyed wolves succeed in rebuilding the royal court. So Zuo Yuliang's reaction is not in the hands of the barbarians? "

"For the time being, yes. Zuo Yuliang sent troops out of the border and even fought several battles with the barbarians. This is already extremely bad news for the barbarians. They have not yet rebuilt the royal court, and they do not have a unified force in name. , so we have to succumb to the unification of the red-eyed wolf clan as soon as possible."

"Didn't you consider this situation in advance? What good will it do us to speed up the unification of the barbarians?"

"My lord. The news from the former spies has already shown that the unification of the barbarians is inevitable. The difference is only the length of time. If it were in the past, we would definitely discuss with Zuo Yuliang first before making arrangements. But now the frontier army is still suspicious. Now, let us not dare to move around, for fear of blocking the investigation."

After Jiang Cheng finished speaking, there was silence. He lowered his head and dared not look directly at Pang Ban in front of him.

It took a long time for Pang Ban to speak again: "You really trust that student of yours. This time he invited me to watch the ceremony, so I want to see what kind of person he is."
