"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 259
"General, Lord Pang Lun has arrived."
When Chen Ziang was busy in the temporary army headquarters, the voice of the guard came from outside the door.
"Ask him to come in."
Chen Ziang raised his head and gave orders to the outside.
Soon, the staff member Pang Lun strode into the spacious and bright room, and saw Chen Ziang sitting behind the wooden table.
"Pang Lun pays his respects to the general¡ª"
After standing still, Pang Lun bowed his hands to Chen Ziang.
Chen Zi'ang's office room was requisitioned temporarily, except for a table and a few chairs, there was nothing else, and it looked extraordinarily simple and simple.
"Mr. Pang, please sit down."
Chen Ziang asked Pang Lun, motioning him to find a chair and sit down.
As the staff member of the army, Pang Lun naturally knew Chen Ziang's behavior style, so he didn't refuse, and found a chair nearby and sat down.
Chen Zi'ang saw Pang Lun sitting upright, went to the side, picked up the teapot, and poured Pang Lun a glass of water.
Although Pang Lun was a staff member of the Second Army Corps, he had never enjoyed such treatment, so he hurriedly accepted it in fear and trepidation.
"Thank you, General."
Pang Lun felt Chen Ziang's enthusiasm and respect, which made him happy, but at the same time he was also puzzled, not knowing why Chen Ziang was acting like this all of a sudden.
"Mr. Pang, how is the latest case going?"
After pouring Pang Lun a cup of tea, Chen Ziang didn't return to his seat, but pulled a chair over and sat beside Pang Lun.
When Pang Lun heard Chen Ziang's question about the case, he also wanted to get up in a hurry to answer, but Chen Ziang held him back.
"Don't be so restrained, just sit and talk." Chen Ziang said with a smile.
After Pang Lun thanked him, he gave Chen Ziang a detailed report on some old cases in Wenshui County that they had heard recently.
Hearing that they had almost finished the work in just a few days, and were praised by the people, Chen Ziang also nodded in satisfaction.
"Mr. Pang, you have worked hard in the past few days." Chen Ziang also praised Pang Lun.
Pang Lun and the others are scholars who are full of enthusiasm and have no room to display their talents. Now that Chen Ziang has provided them with this stage, they are full of enthusiasm.
Especially now that he has been approved by the highest official, Chen Ziang. Although he is modest in his mouth, he is very happy in his heart.
"These corrupt officials only care about their own spending time, but they don't care about the life and death of the people, so that old cases pile up like a mountain, and unjust, false and wrong cases are everywhere. This is only a county, and the provinces don't know how many more."
While Chen Ziang was speaking, he couldn't help but sigh, because the imperial court was rotten to the root.
Although the imperial court is like a towering tree, it looks majestic, but in fact it has decayed a long time ago.
"You have done a good job these days. Not only have you given justice to the common people, but you have also established a good image for our Qinghe Army."
"The general praised me, these are what we should do."
"Don't be humble, you do good things for the common people, I also see it."
Although Chen Ziang only praised a few words, but for Pang Lun, he was very happy, because their hard work was finally worth it.
"Among the many staff members, you are considered outstanding. You have done a good job in trying old cases and appeasing the people this time. How is it? Have you thought about going further?" Chen Ziang asked Pang Lun with a smile.
Pang Lun did not expect Chen Ziang to ask this question suddenly, and he was not prepared for it.
He joined Chen Ziang's command at the beginning just because he wanted to make a living, and at the same time he had some hatred for the court, so he wanted to help Chen Ziang deal with the court.
He had thought about getting promoted and getting rich, but he didn't expect Chen Ziang to ask so directly.
If he answered yes, he would leave an image of greed and vanity.
However, if he answered that he didn't want to, it seemed too hypocritical. After all, who doesn't want to get promoted and get rich?
"My life, Pang Lun, was saved by the general. I will do whatever the general asks me to do."
Pang Lun is also a smart person, he didn't answer Chen Ziang's question directly, but changed his role.?.
"Hahaha, you."
Chen Ziang didn't expect him to answer like this, and he couldn't help but smile on his face, knowing that Pang Lun is a smart person.
"I have an important task for you, I wonder if you dare to take it?"
Pang Lun said awe-inspiringly: "I, Pang Lun, am willing to die for the general, let alone a mere task."
"This task is very dangerous, and you may really lose your life. I have told you in advance. If you don't want to, I won't force it."
"I also ask the general to order that Pang Lunwan will not hesitate to die."
"Well, I won't beat around the bush."
"You also know that our army is going to continue going south, and it is impossible to stay here for a long time."
"But once we leave, even if the bandits don't come, the court may make a comeback."
"In particular, I have issued an order to redistribute the confiscated fields to the poor people. Once the court returns, the people will lose their fields again, and everything we have done will be in vain."
"Therefore, I decided that after my army withdrew, some people should be left here to defend the fruits of our victory and contain the court's troops by the way."
"I don't know how many people the general wants to keep?"
After hearing what Chen Ziang said, Pang Lun also understood Chen Ziang's intentions, and immediately asked.
Chen Ziang replied: "I will leave a centurion soldier behind."
"Ah, so little?"
Pang Lun did not expect that Chen Zi'ang only left such a small force that it would not be enough to deal with the bandits, let alone defend the fruits of victory and contain the court's forces.
"Don't underestimate the number of one hundred people left behind, but they are all veterans who have fought in wars. They are the seeds of fire, and a single spark can start a prairie fire." Chen Ziang laughed.
"I am going to appoint you as the left-behind envoy of Wenshui. The hundred people will be dispatched by you. If you have the ability, you can grow to thousands or even tens of thousands of people. I will give you any official title if you have as many troops as you want. what do you think?"
Pang Lun did not expect that Chen Ziang would delegate power to him so much, which made him skeptical.
"The general is serious?" Pang Lun said.
"When did you see that I lied?"
After only thinking for a few seconds, Pang Lun agreed: "General, I will take over this job."
Pang Lun knew very well that facing a powerful enemy, these hundred people would not be enough to bite the teeth, and it would be extremely dangerous for him to stay.
However, he also saw the great opportunity in the risk. If he could really pull out an army, he might be able to become a general in the future.
Pang Lun is a real scholar, not a nerd who only knows how to read dead books.
A true scholar is one who mounts a horse and can fight, and dismounts who can calm the people. This has always been his dream and desire.
Now that Chen Ziang gave him such a chance, he decided to gamble with all his eggs in one basket, just in case it would happen. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
