Chapter 503: Ye Feng’s Persistence
"What, you want to resign?" Looking at the resolute Cao Tiancheng in front of him, Gao Yuan's face darkened. "Old Cao, what are you doing? This is a critical moment for our army. What do you want to do by doing this to me?"
At present, the army under Gao Yuan is being mobilized on a large scale. Generals in all aspects of the control area are expanding their troops. An endless supply of materials is being deployed from Jishi City and Fufeng to these places. It can be said that it is Cao Cao who It was the busiest time for the logistics department that Tiancheng was in charge of, but Cao Tiancheng wanted to give up his job at this time, so Gao Yuanbu couldn't help but be angry.
"Yes, I want to resign!" Cao Tiancheng nodded affirmatively, and his unquestionable demeanor made Gao Yuan even more unhappy. "But General, I know this is the busiest time right now, so I won't resign at this time. I just want to tell you in advance, General, so that you can be mentally prepared to find my successor."
Gao Yuan let out a long breath, "Tell me, why?" Staring at Cao Tiancheng, Gao Yuan said harshly.
"General, Lian'er is going to marry Sun Xiao." Cao Tiancheng said slowly.
"Yes, this is a happy event. What does this have to do with your resignation?"
"At that time, Sun Xiao became my son-in-law. Sun Xiao had military power in his hands, and I had financial power in my hands. God-given, the general valued him very much and let him control the Military Justice Department and the Wolfpack. Our Cao family has too much power. Big.”
Gao Yuan gritted his teeth, "Is that why?"
"Yes, for this." Cao Tiancheng said.
"Old Cao, we came from Fufeng together. I have always had extreme trust in you. Tianci is even more like one of my disciples. I have always regarded you as a family."
"I know the general. Because of this, I have to consider the general. You know, people will change. I don't know if I will change in the future, but I know that compared to when I was in Fufeng, I have changed. A lot." Cao Tiancheng said slowly: "General, are you surprised and angry by what I said today? If I really resign at this time, the Logistics Department will definitely be in chaos. This will be huge. It affects the implementation of the entire strategy, right?”
Gao Yuan was stunned. He understood what Cao Tiancheng meant.
"Tiancheng, we are old comrades-in-arms, old friends!"
"General, I said that people will change, and I have already changed. I don't want to do anything to embarrass the general or make him an enemy in the future, so I resign."
Gao Yuan pondered for a long time, "I'm afraid you can't think of these words yourself.
Did someone say something to you? "
"It's not like someone said anything to me, he just woke me up." Cao Tiancheng laughed, "I think about when I was in Fufeng. Even eating was a problem, and I couldn't even feed my wife and children. , look back at that time. What else am I not satisfied with? Lian'er has found a good home, God-given under your education, he has become an adult, what else am I not satisfied with? "
"It's Jiang Jiaquan!" Gao Yuan frowned, "What does this old man want to do?"
"Chiang Changshi is also doing it for your own good, and for the good of the entire Eastern Conquest Army!" Cao Tiancheng went back and thought for a long time, and his dissatisfaction with the Jiang family power was gone. "What he said is right. The Cao family has almost controlled the lifeblood of the entire Eastern Conquest Army. This is not a good thing."
Gao Yuan tapped the table gently. He had to say that he had never thought about this problem before. Sun Xiao and Cao Tiancheng were his friends who grew up together when he was poor. Yes, he was the one who brought them together. He regarded them as partners and had never been wary of them, and what Cao Tiancheng said to him today was undoubtedly a wake-up call.
People change.
If Cao Tiancheng simply gave up the challenge today, there is no doubt that the entire logistics work of the Eastern Expedition Army would be in chaos. Sun Xiao's military power and Cao Tianci's control of the intelligence agency have indeed combined into an extremely powerful force.
It has to be said that Jiang Jiaquan sees things very accurately. Perhaps only an outsider like him can see these things so accurately. But he had never thought about this matter before. As Cao Tiancheng said, once If something happens, I'm afraid it will be too late.
He nodded slightly, "Thank you, Lao Cao. If you want to resign, how do you want me to arrange it for you?"
Cao Tiancheng grinned, "I have been doing logistics in the past few years. I found that I still have a talent for business, so I want to go to Sihai Business."
"Going to do business?" Gao Yuan said in shock.
"Trading all over the world is great!" Cao Tiancheng said with a smile: "Now, he has slowly grown up. With the support of the general in the future, he will definitely become a giant, so where should I go?"
Gao Yuan nodded, "It seems that you have thought about it. Forget it, just go and control Sihai Commerce for me. I hope that one day, you can run Sihai Commerce into a behemoth like the Qinyong Chamber of Commerce."
"The Four Seas Commerce will definitely be stronger than the Qin Yong Chamber of Commerce in the future, because you, general, will defeat Qin!" Cao Tiancheng laughed and said, "Now I have the idea of traveling around the world with the Four Seas Commerce. It is beautiful to think about it, like It is really a proud thing for a country bumpkin like me to be able to appear in the capitals of various countries in fine clothes! General, after I figured this out, I felt extremely comfortable and felt a few years younger. To be honest with you, This Logistics Department is really not a good job, and I don’t want to grow old before my time!"
Staring at Cao Tiancheng's white hair on his temples, Gao Yuan sighed in his heart. In fact, the Logistics Department is much better now. He already has a huge territory and a fixed source of income. Thinking back to the time when he couldn't make ends meet, It was Cao Tiancheng, the logistics manager, who racked his brains to raise funds, food and grass for himself to ensure that the troops at the front had no worries. And now, he has decided to resign, and speaking of it, it is also for his own good.
"Thank you, Tiancheng!" Gao Yuan grabbed Cao Tiancheng's hand, "Thank you!"
Looking at Gao Yuan's sincere eyes, Cao Tiancheng's eyes were moist. Jiang Jiaquan was right. It was the best time to step back now.
There were rapid footsteps outside the door, and the door creaked open. Cao Lian'er's somewhat frightened face appeared in front of the two of them, "General, please go back and take a look. The young lady and the young master are quarreling."
"Are they arguing?" Gao Yuan was surprised, "What are they arguing about?"
"I don't know either. The young master came into the house to see the young lady today. The two of them were locked in the room and I don't know what they said. I suddenly heard a quarrel outside. The young lady was so angry that she cried." Cao Lian'er said.
"What tricks is Ye Feng doing!" Gao Yuan waved his hand dissatisfied, "Old Cao, I won't send you off. Later I will discuss with Jiang Jiaquan who will succeed you, and then send him to where you are. Let him go first I’ll follow you to get familiar with the operations of the entire Logistics Department. No matter what, you have to finish this year for me.”
"Don't worry, general!" Cao Tiancheng said with a smile.
When Gao Yuan stepped into the backyard room. Seeing Ye Feng standing by the window angrily, staring straight at the falling snowflakes outside, and Ye Jing'er lying on the table, crying sadly, their backs to each other, neither of them paying attention. who.
"What are you doing?" Gao Yuan stood between the two of them, "Why are you quarreling? Ye Feng, I find you are so courageous. Even your sister dares to contradict you? Why don't you apologize to your sister quickly?"
As Gao Yuan spoke, he winked wildly at Ye Feng, but this guy didn't understand Feng Qing at all and didn't even look at him from the corner of his eyes. Gao Yuan couldn't help but kicked him hard twice. Turning her head helplessly, she sat next to Ye Jing'er and said softly: "Jing'er, what are you doing? It's been two years since the siblings have seen each other. Why did they start to quarrel as soon as they met? This kid doesn't know anything. I understand, you don’t have to be familiar with him.”
"Who said I don't understand anything!" Ye Feng turned around at an inappropriate time. Loudly.
Gao Yuan's face sank, "You're talking to me like that!"
When Gao Yuan was angry, Ye Feng immediately withered, lowered his head and remained silent, but the stubbornness on his face did not loosen at all.
Ye Jing'er raised her head and looked at Gao Yuan, "Brother, Feng'er refuses to be the deputy commander of your personal guard camp. He, he said he wants to go to the field army, to the front-line army."
"Ah?" Gao Yuan glanced at Ye Feng in surprise, "Come here, kid." He waved to Ye Feng.
Ye Feng walked over with his head lowered, stood in front of Gao Yuan, and protested: "Brother-in-law, I want to go to the front line army, I want to go to the front line of the battle."
Gao Yuan asked with a smile: "Feng'er, do you know what the frontline troops mean? They are the troops that face the enemy's attack and fight face to face with the enemy. That's where the casualty rate is highest. The Guards Battalion is directly under my command. Army, here, I can directly appoint you as deputy commander, and no one will say anything. But if you want to go to the front-line army, you have to start from the lowest level officer, because there, your identity will not be recognized, and you will only be judged by your qualifications. They don’t have the ability to kill the enemy, and officers at the grassroots level have the highest casualty rate, do you understand?”
"I'm not afraid." Ye Feng said loudly.
"You have never participated in a single battle. Do you know what war is like?" Gao Yuan's face sank, "Jing'er only has one younger brother: you."
"Brother-in-law, I have never participated in a battle, but when you went to fight the Donghu people in Fufeng, didn't you also never fight in a battle? You haven't made it through yet. There is a first time for everything. I When I go to the front line, I will use my sword and gun to prove myself with my illustrious military exploits, instead of trying to qualify with you."
"You, how can you compare with big brother!" Ye Jing'er was angry and anxious. "Feng'er, you have never fought in a war, or even seen a battlefield, but my sister has seen it, seen it, and participated in it. The two armies are fighting, and human lives are at stake. Do you understand? I will never allow you to go to the front line. troops."
"Sister, I am the only man in the Ye family. I want to hold up the lintel of the Ye family and not let anyone underestimate the Ye family. I want to go to the front line. If my brother-in-law doesn't let me go, I will run away and find someone. People who don’t know me are joining the army. Isn’t the Eastern Expeditionary Army recruiting soldiers now? I’m literate and have good kung fu, so I’m sure I’ll be chosen by them.”
Gao Yuan laughed. Ye Feng was finally a little more naive. As long as he was in his control area, no matter where Ye Feng appeared, he could bring him back. However, this kid also had a bloody personality and was a malleable person.
"If you have made up your mind, I can agree to it, but Feng'er, you have to think carefully. If you can't stand it for a while and want to run back, I will never agree."
"Don't worry, brother-in-law!" Hearing Gao Yuan's words, Ye Feng was immediately overjoyed, "I can endure any suffering,"
"Well, then go to Meng Chong's place. If he faces the Donghu people directly, there will be a lot of fighting."
"Brother!" Ye Jing'er suddenly became anxious.
Gao Yuan shook his head at her, "Ye Feng, do you dare to go? What you will face is the Donghu cavalry."
"I dare to go!" Ye Feng raised his head, "My brother-in-law became famous all over the world by fighting against the Donghu people. I will definitely follow my brother-in-law's example and make a great name for myself. Brother-in-law, I will go back and pack my gifts tomorrow. I'll set off."
Seeing Ye Feng'er rushing out like a storm, Ye Jing'er suddenly started crying again, "Brother, where did you really want Feng'er to go?"
"Let him go. Since he has this kind of blood, let him grind it out. Don't worry, I will send a letter to Meng Chong. Meng Chong is also a smart man and knows how to deal with this matter. No matter what, I won’t put Ye Feng’s life in danger.” (To be continued...)
