Chapter 207
Fang Xuanling quickly took out his resume from the book bag and handed it to Wei Yunqi, "Please read by Mr. Wei!"
Wei Yunqi read his resume and couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He was a Jinshi in the 16th year of Kaihuang, or a Yuqiwei. He was a county lieutenant in Xicheng. This qualification is not simple! No wonder the general attached great importance to him and asked himself to accept this person.
"Isn't it too inexplicable to apply for this civilian officer with the qualifications of the young master?"
Fang Xuanling bowed and said, "The bandits ravaged their hometown. Xuanling just wanted to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. He joined the army just to quell the bandits as soon as possible and do his best for the elders of his hometown."
"So that's it. Why didn't the young master join the army directly in Qi County, but wanted to transfer to Beihai County?"
Fang Xuanling hesitated for a moment. In fact, he wanted to join the army in Qi County, but Jia Wuben convinced his father and asked him to come to Beihai County to apply. Fang Xuanling himself did not fully understand the reason.
"This Qi County has no chance for a while!"
Wei Yunqi smiled and did not ask any further. He put away Fang Xuanling's resume and said, "This time we plan to recruit five soldiers. There is no appointment from the court yet. It is just an aide. The advantage is that they are well-fed and can resign at any time. Is the young master willing to accept such a position?"
Fang Xuanling nodded silently. Jia Runfu had already told him this point. He didn't care much about his official position. If he cared, he would not have resigned as the Xicheng County Captain.
"I just want to participate in the fight against bandits and do my best for the elders of my hometown, and my position doesn't matter."
Although Wei Yunqi got Zhang Xuan to say hello in advance, Fang Xuanling's resume was much stronger than the hundreds of scholars' resumes before. Such talents could only be met but hard to come by. Wei Yun stood up and smiled and said, "I have no big problem here. Please follow me to see General Zhang!"
Fang Xuanling was overjoyed, which meant that he passed Wei Yunqi's interview, but he was a little nervous. What kind of rude general is this General Zhang?
They walked through the main hall and came to a temporary official room on the other side. Currently, Beihai County is a military-political unity. Wang Yunqian is only the nominal prefect, but the actual military-political power of Beihai County is firmly in the hands of Zhang Xuan. Zhang Xuan did not shy away and directly added a temporary official room in the county yamen. But most of the time he was in the military camp and only came every two or three days to listen to the reports of Wei Yunqi and Wang Yunqian.
Zhang Xuan was waiting for Wei Yunqi's interview results in the official room. He believed that Wei Yunqi would bring Fang Xuanling over soon. At this time, the soldiers at the door reported: "Chief Wei is looking for a meeting!"
"Please come in!"
Wei Yunqi walked in quickly. When Zhang Xuan saw that he was the only one, he asked with a smile: "Where is that young master Fang?"
"Waiting outside, I will say a few words to the general first."
"Sir, please tell me!"
Wei Yunqi smiled and said, "This Fang Xuanling is indeed good, with superior conditions and a famous family in Qi County. However, the five of us have been recruited and have arranged positions. How do the general plan to use him?"
Zhang Xuan had already thought about it and smiled, "I plan to use him as a memorial room to join the army. Does the Chief Secretary think it's OK?"
The military officer of the Record Office is a confidential secretary. The position is extremely important. Generally, the chief officer of the military office will be set up, and most of them are confidants. For example, Zhang Xutuo's military officer of the Record Office, Jiang Ning, was his fellow villager. Wei Yunqi was shocked and whispered: "The general doesn't understand his situation, so he can join the Record Office. Is it too hasty? I suggest that he can be the chief clerk first, and then promote him to join the Record Office when the time is ripe. What do the general think?"
Of course, Zhang Xuan was not good to tell Wei Yunqi that he knew Fang Xuanling's talent in history. However, Wei Yunqi said it makes sense. It would be no good for him to raise Fang Xuanling too high at once, and the position of chief clerk is not high or low. It just so suitable for Fang Xuanling. Wei Yunqi deserves to be experienced and has a good grasp.
Zhang Xuan nodded, "Then follow the Changshi's plan! I'll talk to him first."
Wei Yunqi bowed and stepped down. He walked to the door and smiled at Fang Xuanling and said, "Please come in, please come in! General Zhang is waiting in the room. I won't go in."
"Thank you Mr. Wei!"
Fang Xuanling bowed with fists and walked into the official room nervously. When he walked into the room, he saw a tall and tall general standing in front of the window with his hands facing his back to him. Fang Xuanling felt a little familiar. Without thinking, he hurried forward and bowed to salute, "Student Fang Qiao, see General Zhang!"
Zhang Xuan turned around and smiled, "Young Master Fang, don't be so polite!"
The voice sounded even more familiar. Fang Xuanling looked up and was stunned, "It's you!"
It turns out that General Zhang is the young general he met on the way, it turns out that he is Zhang Xuan?
Zhang Xuan smiled slightly, "Are you surprised by your son?"
Fang Xuanling laughed in silence, "I thought Princess Beihai would be a rude man in her forties, but I didn't expect that she would be such a young general."
"Please sit down!"
Zhang Xuan asked Fang Xuanling to sit down, and asked with a smile: "Young master travels around the world, haven't you been harassed by bandits along the way?"
"Fortunately! The bandits broke out in the past two years. They were still doing well before, but this time they encountered Zhang Jinzhuo's besiege in Qinghe County, almost died, and finally escaped among the chaotic people."
"Zhang Jincheng is so rampant, what about Feng Xiaoci? Did he sit idly by?"
Fang Xuanling shook his head, "Feng Xiaoci was inappropriate and was too greedy for military achievements. He just wanted to fight the main force with Zhang Jinshe, but Zhang Jinshe broke into pieces and divided his troops to plunder and recruit soldiers in various counties in Hebei. In just a few months, Zhang Jinshe's army had grown to 80,000 people. Feng Xiaoci did not dare to fight with Zhang Jinshe's main force at this time, so he could only refuse to defend Qinghe County. To be honest, I don't like Feng Xiaoci. This person underestimated the enemy first and feared the war, and was stubborn and was not a match for Zhang Jinshe."
Zhang Xuan nodded. Fang Xuanling was right. Now that the Yellow River is frozen, Feng Xiaoci can completely invite Zhang Xutuo to fight Qinghe County. The two armies fight together. Zhang Jin said that he can completely defeat him.
But Feng Xiaoci had no news. After all, he did not want Zhang Xutuo's army to enter his sphere of influence, which shows that this person's vision is relatively narrow.
"The young master thinks that Zhang Jincheng or Sun Xuanya, which one poses a greater threat to Qingzhou?" Zhang Xuan asked again.
"That must be Zhang Jin's saying that before Feng Xiaoci arrived in Qinghe County, Zhang Jin said that the bandit army and the Flying Eagle Army had fought many times, and they knew each other and knew each other's enemy. However, at that time, there were too many bandit army in Qingzhou, which made the rear of the Flying Eagle Army unstable, so they could not go north in large numbers. Now Zhang Jin said that he was confronting Feng Xiaoci's army. Why didn't the Flying Eagle Army seize this opportunity to attack Sun Xuanya first and completely relieve their worries?"
Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "Sun Xuanya has more than ten thousand troops, how should she fight?"
Fang Xuanling thought for a while and said, "If we distinguish from regional culture, Langya County and Qingzhou are still separated. They are closer to Xuzhou. This regional difference will affect Sun Xuanya's expansion strategy, and they are more likely to expand southward, so Yang Yichen in Xuzhou will be more pressured. However, Yang Yichen was restrained by Li Zitong in the East China Sea and could not lead the troops north. If the Flying Eagle Army wants to attack Sun Xuanya, I suggest that we can join forces with Yang Yichen, and I believe he will be willing to cooperate with the general."
Zhang Xuan secretly praised him for his test of Fang Xuanling. Although Fang Xuanling is still a scholar, his idea of joint combat is very good, which coincides with his ideas.
Zhang Xuan smiled happily and said, "If Mr. Fang doesn't dislike him, he will be the chief clerk of our army for the time being. We will work together to destroy the bandits in Shandong and Hebei!"
Fang Xuanling was overjoyed and stood up to salute, "Xuanling is willing to serve the general!"
Fang Xuanling followed Wei Yun and Zhang Xuan sat alone in the room, still recalling Fang Xuanling's suggestion just now. He took advantage of the opportunity of Zhang Jinsheng's confrontation with Feng Xiaoci, and joined forces with Yang Yichen of Xuzhou to destroy Sun Xuanya who was entrenched in Langya County.
This is indeed a very good strategy. To destroy Sun Xuanya, you can not only get a lot of food supplements, but also connect Qingzhou and Xuzhou, so that Yang Yichen has no worries and can do his best to target Li Zitong in the East China Sea.
Zhang Xuan pondered for a long time and felt that this matter should be discussed with Zhang Xutuo to see what Zhang Xutuo's attitude was. He spread a piece of paper and picked up a pen to write a quick letter to Zhang Xutuo.
But the plan was not as good as change. Before the letter was delivered to Zhang Xutuo, the situation in Qinghe County changed drastically. In the afternoon of the same day, a cavalry sent a letter to Beihai County with Zhang Xutuo's express letter.
