Chapter 327: Long History and River Worker
Qin Jin knew that although the Son of Heaven was old, he had not yet arrived home in a daze, and Ge Shuhan was now holding a large army in his hands, and he was carrying the burden of resisting the army of thieves on his shoulders, and he would not refuse Ge Shuhan's legitimate request unless he had to.
It's just that Wei Boyu was transferred to Tongguan, but it made Qin Jin's heart beat violently a few times.
Once again, the history he knew flashed through his mind.
Ge Shuhan became more and more powerful, and the relationship with Yang Guozhong naturally became increasingly tense, from mutual vigilance to mutual suppression. In the battle between the two, Yang Guozhong seems to have been in a passive and suppressed position. In the historical process in Qin and Jin's memory, Ge Shuhan seems to have beheaded Yang Guozhong's cronies, completely intensifying the contradictions between them. As a result, Yang Guozhong resorted to a plan to kill people with a knife, so that Ge Shuhan was defeated, captured by An Lushan, and died in humiliation in the civil strife of Pseudo-Yan after surrendering.
Although Wei Boyu is Ge Shuhan's old subordinate, he has changed his court and voted for Yang Guozhong. And Ge Shuhan has never been an open-minded person, in case Ge Shuhan really can't let go of these grievances, coupled with the open and secret struggle with Yang Guozhong, Wei Boyu is afraid that he will become a victim of the two tigers in a few minutes.
Thinking of this, Qin Jin couldn't sit still, he must not let Ge Shuhan kill Wei Boyu, and he must not let the tragedy of history happen again.
Qin Jin felt that it was necessary for him to go to Tongguan in person to meet this famous veteran.
However, the phrase that the leaky house happened to rain overnight was not in vain, and the Huangfu Keshuo Fang Army, which had been silent for nearly a month, had moved again, and under the premise that the situation was unstable, it was impossible for Qin Jin to let go of Feng Yi and go to Tongguan.
This kind of thing, Qin Jin naturally couldn't discuss it with Du Fu, and Lu Qi and Chen Qianli, who was gradually recovering, were both recruited to the county guard's mansion.
"Huangfu Ke's Shuo Fang Army is about to move recently, what do you two think?"
Lu Qi has always advocated being tough on Huangfu Ke, and he must not let them feel weak because of the Shenwu Army's overtures. However, Huangfu Ke is obviously an old and cunning jackal, so that the Shenwu Army can do nothing except for the food?
"Huangfu Ke is sure that we don't dare to start a war with it, so he is unscrupulous. I'm only worried that Pei Jing will suffer a loss if he goes to Tongzhou to negotiate!"
Chen Qian's expression was calm, as if he had never been deprived of military power, and said his own opinions.
Since the Battle of Chaoyi, Chen Qianli has been deprived of even the authority of the commander of the Longwu Army, and it is Qin Jin who has taken into account the actual situation and has shown special mercy to him. Moreover, the same old brother who was born and died in Xin'an, Qin Jin couldn't bear to see him end miserably.
Now, the only thing Chen Qianli can do is to come to the county guard mansion anytime and anywhere for consultation.
What is strange is that Chen Qianli never complained, and he did his best when he consulted, and there was nothing out of the ordinary.
Only Qin Jin knew that it was not strange for Chen Qianli to do this, and his principles made him not disregard the overall situation.
"Since you can't fight, you can only endure it! But you can't endure it all, so that Jun Ke can send a group of men and horses to echo with Huangfu Ke from afar, as a deterrent!"
In this regard, Lu Qi deeply agreed, and he must send troops, even if he can't fight, he must let them know the bottom line of the Shenwu Army.
Qin Jin thought for a while, but rejected the proposal.
"Continue to show weakness and let Huangfu Ke go proudly!"
He was waiting, waiting for Pei Jing's success. As long as Pei Jing succeeds, Huangfu Ke will have no way to retreat, and there will be no way to retreat, so what else can he use to blackmail the Shenwu Army? At that time, how much food the Shenwu Army will give him will depend on the performance of the Shuo Fang Army.
After making up his mind, Qin Jin turned his gaze to Chen Qianli.
"Brother Chen's body has recovered, how about going to the 'River Camp' to take charge of some specific affairs?"
Chen Qianli still had an expression of no joy or anger, and arched his hand: "Obey the orders of the envoy!"
"Okay, there is a lack of talents with command and dispatch experience in the 'River Engineering Battalion', so Brother Chen will take on this errand. ”
Being responsible for commanding and dispatching the "River Engineer Battalion" is by no means going to the "River Engineer Battalion" to do some inconsequential paperwork or miscellaneous work, but an extremely important errand. It is said that the 'river engineering battalions' are governed by military law, and unlike the army, they have no military training and are only engaged in dredging rivers.
However, once such an organized group of people is mobilized, its power should not be underestimated. Chen Qianli didn't say it on the surface, but he was still very moved in his heart, and Qin Jin still didn't forget the friendship of Xin'an.
Chen Qianli was already desperate for Qin Jin, but it was this appointment that made him realize that Qin Jin was not what he thought......
Early the next morning, Chen Qianli went to the "River Worker Camp" with the order of the envoy. The temporary commander and dispatch of the "River Engineering Battalion" was a lieutenant of the Shenwu Army, and when he saw that someone was coming to replace him, he was very happy to hand him over.
The atmosphere in the "River Worker Camp" was very strange, in stark contrast to the inside of the Shenwu Army, and it made him feel difficult to breathe from time to time. Now that someone is coming to do the handover, it is natural to be amnesty.
Chen Qianli saw that the captain looked like he had been amnestied, and said strangely: "Is there anything strange in the 'River Worker Camp'?"
The lieutenant said, "It's weird, but there is no ......."
"What's that?"
Chen Qianli was still sharp and sharp, and he immediately realized from the words of the school captain Zhiwu that there must be something unknown to him in the "River Engineering Battalion".
The lieutenant was obviously a sincere person, and he didn't have an official relationship with Chen Qianli, and after snorting twice, he actually started to complain with an expression of incomprehension.
"I don't know what the envoy thinks, get some strange people to come to the army, and the people who make it seem like they have taken the wrong medicine and are stunned......"
Chen Qianli's heart couldn't help but sink, "The devil is stunned? Could it be that someone is bewitching the army's heart?"
He is used to leading troops, and he is well aware of the impact of the three-step speech in the army on the morale of the army, so he naturally thinks of this.
The captain laughed, a little helplessly.
"Regardless of bewitching the army's heart, it can also be regarded as bewitching the army's heart......"
Chen Qianli has always disliked people who talk muddy, and the captain in front of him was so hesitant that he was a little impatient.
"Is it bewitching or not? Can it be dangerous in the army? If there is harm, Chen should immediately speak to the king!"
The lieutenant waved his hand again and again, "Chen Changshi is not in a hurry, if it is said to be bewitching the army, it is also beneficial to the Yuhe Gong Battalion." In less than a month since the envoy sent those strange people to the river worker camp, those 'lazy and greedy' river workers and men have rushed to do the hardest, most tiring, and most dangerous work as if they had changed people. The food in the river camp was in short supply, and there were interruptions from time to time, but the people did not fight or grab it, and even took the initiative to let others eat...... Chen Changshi, tell me, isn't this weird?"
"Weird? That's what you mean by weirdness?"
Chen Qianli was stunned, he really couldn't understand what method Qin Jin used to make a group of fugitives turn into saint-like humble friends.
However, he still had doubts in his heart, if Qin Jin had a way to make a group of fugitives become so humble and friendly, why couldn't he make the Xin'an Army or the Shenwu Army become like this? You must know that this kind of spirit is also a kind of combat effectiveness for the army, and it is even a thousand times more powerful than those military training that is not useful.
"Tell me clearly, what method did the envoy use, so that they could have this change!"
The lieutenant is obviously not very good either.
"It's strange that I was only responsible for directing and dispatching river workers on weekdays, but I didn't pay attention to these things until there was a change, but I can't remember when it started. Maybe it's the effect of those literati who got it to tell stories and shout slogans. ”
What the captain said, Chen Qianli listened to it, but he was even more confused, and he was even more confused, and he could use storytelling to transform these most difficult fugitives into humble friends, I'm afraid even saints can't do it.
The more difficult it was to comprehend the mystery, the more curious Chen Qianli became, and in the end, it was as if he had discovered a great treasure, his eyes glowed with greed, until the captain had left for a long time, still immersed in an inexplicable excitement.
Early the next morning, Chen Qianli impatiently went to the dredging site of Zheng Baiqu to inspect it in person, and he wanted to see if what the captain said was true or full of nonsense.
After coming to the dredging site of Zheng Baiqu, Chen Qianli appeared in front of Chen Qianli's eyes with thousands of swarthy backs, as Zheng Baiqu extended to the west, the sound of trumpets one after another was endless, just hearing its sound made Chen Qianli clearly feel the atmosphere in full swing on the construction site.
Chen Qianli specially dressed lightly, in order to carefully observe those river workers, and now he saw that everyone was sweating like rain, turning shovels and wooden shovels again and again, firm and calm. In fact, he didn't need to look at their movements at all, just from the expressions of the river workers, he could easily feel that these people did seem to have a fire in their hearts.
This fire seemed to have infected Chen Qianli, and he felt that there was an inexplicable excitement in his mouth, and as long as he opened his mouth, it would erupt.
It seems that the lieutenant is not full of nonsense, but why does the lieutenant feel like he is on pins and needles in the "river engineering camp"? This is a very strange thing.
Suddenly, a burst of screams came, and almost instantly, the screams spread and spread, causing chaos in large sections of the river construction site.
Chen Qianli finally found the source of chaos, which turned out to be a place with deep silt, and two river workers were not very caught in it, and their lives were in danger.
However, when Chen Qianli pushed aside the crowd and came to the shore, he was shocked by the scene he saw.
A river worker covered in mud and barebacked, who looked like a leader, walked to the depths of the quagmire without regard for life and death, and directed a group of river workers, using wooden planks and sticks on the surface of the silt.
Not counting this, there are also a large number of river workers who have followed suit, jumping into the silt, ignoring the leader's reprimand, and walking to the center of the silt step by step.
Chen Qianli was shocked, the river mud of Zhengbaiqu has been silted for a hundred years, once the county lives in the people, it will be difficult to get out, ordinary people are afraid to see this situation, the river workers are not supervised by the supervisors, regardless of their own life and death, rushed to jump into the mud to save people, this kind of discipline is enough to make those gentlemen who claim to be saints and disciples ashamed.
