Chapter 7: No Money
After having more than 100 people under his command, Chen Cheng realized the benefits of leading troops. It's not that he is so majestic as he leads the troops, but that the soldiers under his command can contribute a lot of experience points to him every day.
There is the skill "Domination" in "Horse Riding and Slashing", and the higher the level, the higher the reputation in this world, and the higher the upper limit of troops. The upper limit of troops here refers to the number of people who can enjoy the aura of the system, not the actual number of troops in reality. He now has a "Domination" value of zero, a reputation value of fifteen, and an aura that can only cover thirty-four people.
Most of these thirty-four people are displayed in the system as "Han Army Conscription Infantry", "Han Army Conscription Crossbowmen", "Han Army Conscription Archers", "Han Army Conscription Spearmen" and "Han Army Conscription Cavalry", only two martial arts are extraordinary The word "conscription" has been removed, and the remarks in the system are "Han Army Infantry".
These people can bring him more than thirty experience points every day, although compared to the tens of thousands of experience points required for each level up now, and the more experience points required for each level after that, thirty points of experience are nothing, but the account is not calculated like this. It's more than 30 a day, and that's more than 10,000 a year. You don't have to do anything, you just lay down and earn experience, what could be better than that?
If he is allowed to cut people, he will only have one or twenty experience points if he kills one, thirty or forty points more for a stronger one, and ten thousand experience points for ten thousand points. To be honest, he didn't become a murderer and he was of high quality.
Chen Cheng thought about it like this, and suddenly felt as if he had lost hundreds of thousands. He muttered to himself: If I had known that I would have promoted "charm", I knew that eating with my face was more reliable than eating with my muscles!
Wei Ran, the young man who had tested his archery skills before, asked on the side, "What do you command?" ”
Chen Cheng came back to his senses, smiled freely, and said, "It's okay." ”
He is already luckier than many people, and no matter how insatiable he is, he will be struck by lightning. He calmed down, drew a few strokes on the cloth with a carbon strip, pointed to the distance, and said, "Tomorrow we will cut down all the trees here." ”
Wei Ran said puzzledly: "The firewood in the camp is enough for ten days and half a month, what are you cutting down trees?" ”
Chen Cheng thought for a while and said, "This place is too close to the camp, if there are thieves hiding here........"
He gestured and said, "..... It can also be troublesome to shoot a crossbow into a camp, or to ambush a crossbowman in the woods to lure our troops into battle. ”
Wei Ran's mouth opened wide, as if he was listening to a book from heaven, his eyes widened, and he asked, "But how can a thief shoot arrows here?" There are plains in front and back, and if it is discovered, isn't it dead? ”
"What if he came on horseback?"
Wei Ran said unconvinced: "If you come on horseback, you would have seen it from the enemy tower." ”
"What if he came in the evening?"
"I can't see clearly at night, who does he want to shoot? It's not easy to run away at night. ”
When the two were talking nonsense, Tian Yu's personal soldiers came to give an order, "Captain Du ordered you to go to the warehouse to get weapons and armor." ”
Chen Cheng said with a serious face: "No! ”
Then he smiled and said, "It's hard work, do you want to eat a Hu cake?" The meat is just baked, and it's fragrant. ”
The herald's own soldier swallowed his saliva, rubbed his hands again, and said, "How embarrassing is this? ”
Chen Cheng said to Wei Ran: "Go and get two cakes for this brother and pick the big one." ”
Wei Ran took two cakes and stuffed them into the herald's hand without saying a word. The man smiled all over his face, thanked him repeatedly, and said in a low voice while stuffing the Hu Cake into his arms: "This time, the county has sent sixty iron armors, if Chen Tunchang is interested, he will hurry up." If you go late, I'm afraid you'll be distracted. ”
The armor of the Han army is divided into many types, among which the protection ability of iron armor is the best and the most expensive. When Chen Cheng got the news, he immediately took more than 20 people, drove two big cars, and went to the Chinese military office. When the quartermaster saw so many people, he said in surprise: "Just to get some spears and bows and arrows, why are you here with so many people?" ”
Chen Cheng took out two pieces of jerky and said, "I heard that the county has sent sixty sets of iron armor .........."
The little official took the jerky, put it in his arms, and said with a smile: "Chen Tunchang is well-informed, if you want it, I will give you ten sets." ”
Chen Cheng said: "Ten sets are too few. ”
"And how much do you want?"
Chen Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Well, leave half for the captain, and you can give me thirty sets." ”
"Thirty sets?" The little official said with a smile: "Do you know how much this set of iron armor costs?" Want to take half of it just for me two jerky? Didn't I say that you thought too well, did you? You will be given up to twenty sets. ”
"Alas, twenty sets is twenty sets." Chen Cheng drew a charge on the bamboo slip and said, "Thank you, brother, the day after tomorrow, we will go fishing and leave you a big one." ”
With the iron armor, Chen Cheng immediately threw the armor on his body to others and replaced it with a new armor. The weight of the iron armor is about thirty catties, and there are only two parts, the cuirass and the shoulder guard, but the defense is very amazing, even if it is a strong crossbow, it is difficult to break it ten steps away. His strength is now as high as eighteen points, which is not inferior to that of a sumo wrestler, and his movements have not been affected by the iron armor.
That night, Tian Yu summoned several commanders in the army and informed them of Gongsun Zhan's general order, "General Gongsun has an order, and the army will gather in ten days to attack the rebel Zhang Ju!" ”
After reading through the order, Tian Yu asked, "Do you have any questions?" ”
Chen Cheng was noncommittal. With a plug-in in hand, he is very good at fighting. Because he reads a lot, he is no stranger to strategy and politics. But for the tactics of this era, he is not very proficient and is in the stage of learning. And he has never liked to point fingers at things that he is not familiar with, so he is ready to listen to what others have to say first.
If he doesn't say it, someone else will naturally say it. Tun Chang Xu Yan preemptively said: "The soldiers have just started training, and their martial arts are not yet proficient, how can they rush into battle?" I think this is a big mistake! ”
Compared with the generally short-tempered generals of this era, Tian Yu may be much easier to talk than he is because he is still young, which is also one of the reasons why his subordinates dare to speak. He shook his head and said, "The imperial court has already ordered to go to war several times, and we don't have time to train our soldiers. ”
Zhang Chao, another tun chief, said: "Since this is the case, then we have to fight." ”
Tian Yu saw that everyone's mood was not high, so he said: "We are not well trained, but the thieves are all rabble. In this battle, the land can win a big victory, and you can all be added to the knighthood and return to your hometown! ”
Yes, there are millions of yellow turban thieves, and they have not been exterminated by officers and soldiers? What's more, it's just a stretch?
When everyone heard this, their spirits perked up, and they all said: "In this case, we have to rush over as soon as possible to let Taishou know our martial arts." In the future, I will definitely be the pioneer. ”
Tian Yu said with a smile: "General Gongsun has his own white horse as the vanguard, as long as we fulfill our duties, are we afraid that there will be no military achievements to take?" ”
He saw that Chen Cheng's face on the side was sinking like water, and he didn't say a word, so he asked: "Chief Chen Tun, you are the Central Protector, do you have anything to say?" ”
Chen Cheng said: "I don't know how to solve the supply in this battle?" Did General Gongsun send someone to distribute it, or did we raise it ourselves? How long is the battle expected? It's summer, and the soldiers are still able to support themselves in their thin clothes. If it drags on for four or five months, then the weather will get colder. The north is bitterly cold, can there be enough warm clothing in the state? ”
Tian Yu was stunned for a moment, he had always been thinking about how to defeat the enemy in the field, but he didn't think too much about the problem of supply. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke: "Zhang Ju is arrogant and perverse, once the king arrives, he will definitely be wiped out." With the divine martial arts of General Gongsun, before the winter, he must have returned victorious. ”
Chen Cheng was not so easy to fool, he asked: "Now that Beiping and Liaoxi have been occupied by Zhang Ju, how can they be eliminated in a short time?" Even if he can defeat the enemy, if the thieves are defeated and flee elsewhere, will General Gongsun continue to pursue? If it is pursued, the battle will be prolonged........"
Speaking of this, he saw that Tian Yu's face was ugly, so he stopped.
Tian Yu thought for a while with a calm face, then let out a long sigh, looked around at the people in the big tent, and said, "Chen Tunchang's words today must not be passed on. ”
He asked Xu Yan, Zhang Chao and the others to retreat, leaving Chen Cheng alone, and whispered to him: "General Gongsun is a strong man and doesn't like such words, don't say these words to others in the future." ”
Chen Cheng nodded and said, "Got it." ”
Tian Yu said again: "You still have to make some preparations, if you really have to fight for so long, we can also be prepared." If you have any thoughts in the future, don't tell anyone else, just come to me. ”
Chen Cheng knew that Tian Yu meant well, so he smiled and said, "If it is someone else, I don't bother to share it with him." ”
"There are 600 people in our army, you go and prepare 600 sets of .........", Tian Yu thought for a while and changed his words: "Prepare 1,000 sets of warm clothes." ”
Chen Cheng stretched out his right hand, leaned his thumb and middle finger together, and twisted it. Tian Yu was puzzled and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”
"Give me money," Chen Cheng said confidently: "You can't just let me do things and not give me money, right?" I go shopping, don't I need to spend money? ”
Tian Mu couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "You don't know the situation here, the soldiers don't even have military salaries, only food and weapons, where do you let me get money for you?" Why don't I wait for the war to be won, and I ask the general for some reward? ”
Chen Cheng sighed and said, "The soldiers gather with pay, and if there is no food, they will disperse." The reward will be given until I don't know when. Now that I have food, I don't have to worry about the soldiers fleeing, but it's hard for a good woman to cook without rice, and I can't change things without money. Why don't you go to the state and ask? ”
Tian Yu shook his head and said, "Now in summer, where do you want winter clothes?" Even these weapons now are hard to come to hand. ”
The two looked at each other for a while, and Tian Yu was finally defeated, and said, "Then let's talk about it later." ”
Chen Cheng said stupidly: "What can I do if I don't talk about it later?" ”
