Chapter 59 Pointing to the Frontier

"Xianggong, we naturally know that I am not your opponent, but the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, so you must be careful. Eighty-one? Chinese net? ???． ８?１ ｚ ?．? C?om doesn't have to worry about the concubines and sisters, we and the children are waiting for you to come back. Yan Yumeng was still empathetic, although he was very reluctant to let Ai Lang go away, but he still forced a smile and didn't let him worry.

The two ladies were weak and could not serve, and Shen Chongming, who was holding back his anger, got up before dawn the next day, kissed his two sons reluctantly, and hurriedly went out of the palace with a group of guards and went straight to the military camp outside the city.

He didn't notice that a petite figure then climbed out of the courtyard wall and flew up on foot.

"The last general, Wei Daqing, see Lord Du!" After a few years, Wei Daqing's face is a little more calm, but his courage has not diminished.

He can be regarded as Shen Chongming's descendant general, when Shen Chongming was transferred to the military and served as the left sentinel of the Shenji Battalion, this Wei Daqing was his deputy. Although Shen Chongming's position became higher and higher, and the two had less and less communication, Shen Chongming did not forget his general, and soon after taking charge of the Zhiwei, Wei Daqing, who was then the commander of the Shenji Battalion, was promoted to the commander of the Shenji Battalion.

"Hehe, hurry up and excuse me." Shen Chongming helped Wei Daqing up with a smile on his face, "Are the soldiers ready?" ”

"Lord Hui, the soldiers are well fed, just waiting for your order to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy." Wei Daqing's face was faintly excited. Since he joined the army, he has been looking forward to fighting with the Mongolian Tatars, but unfortunately he has not been able to get the opportunity for more than ten years.

"Hehe, that's good." Shen Chongming nodded, and looked at Xiong Dabiao, who had been smiling. "Senior brother, I'm going to bother you again this time."

"Hahaha, it's too late to be happy for my brother to be able to fight with the Mongolian Tatars, so how can I talk about labor." Xiong Dabiao touched his fist and smiled. This healed martial arts idiot, Shen Chongming was rejected by him several times for Zhang Luo's marriage, and threatened to make war horses and swords in the army as his home in this life, but he made the little junior sister angry.

A few people gossiped a few words, and Wei Daqing stretched out his hand and said: "My lord, the hour is not early, you can give the brothers a lecture to boost their morale." ”

Shen Chongming raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "I said Brother Daqing, do you still need to boost morale if you want an elite like my three major battalions to fight against the Mongol Tartars?" ”

Wei Daqing was stunned for a moment, then understood the meaning of Shen Chong's famous words, and said with a smile: "What the adults said is extremely true, it is the last general who has lost his words." Just Mongolian Tartars, our Shenji Battalion and the 3,000 Battalion have joined forces to fight, and they are not ready to be captured. ”

Having said that, Shen Chongming raised his feet and walked towards the soldiers who were still hurrying to train. I haven't been outside the city for some days, and I don't know if these guys have fallen behind in training.

After some checking, Shen Chongming was very satisfied in his heart, whether it was the morale or the high-chested figure of the soldiers, it showed that this was a team with strong fighting.

"My lord, the time has come, it's time to pull out camp." Brother Erdan resignedly stuck to Shen Chongming and whispered.

This guy leaked the matter of the expedition last night, but he was cleaned up by Shen Chongming afterwards, and now he still has palpitations when he thinks about the situation last night.

Shen Chongming nodded, and said as he walked towards his war horse: "Pass on my general's order, the whole army will set off from the camp, and the target is Datong Mansion!" ”

The north wind is whistling, and the soldiers on duty at the head of the city stand in the wind, although the teeth are frozen and fighting up and down, but the body is immovable, this is a well-trained army of the imperial court, which is subordinate to the border town of Xuanfu!

Outside, inside a house in the city, it was hot, and several generals sat shirtless around the brazier, eating meat and drinking wine.

"My lord, it is said that this Shen Chongming is a young and weak scholar, and he has only been able to get into the position of the commander of the upper guard by dealing with some insignificant Japanese robbers. This time, the imperial court and the general army let our Xuanfu Iron Cavalry obey his orders, and the last general always felt unsteady in his heart, for fear that this kid would not understand military affairs and cause chaos to command and harm the lives of his brothers. A sturdy general touched the wine stains hanging from his beard and said with some concern.

"That's it, those bullish Jingwei are just some showmanship, it is enough to see the incompetence of the Jingwei generals, this time let Shen Chongming preside over military affairs to deal with the Mongolian Tartars, this matter is enough to hang." Another general put down the wine bowl in his hand and pouted in response.

Zhang Chi, the deputy chief soldier of Xuanfu, who had never spoken, glanced at the two of them and said coldly: "Are you done with the fart?" ”

These words were enough to choke people, and several generals were stunned and knew that Master Zhang was angry, and they didn't dare to breathe for a while.

"Fuck, I think I'm invincible all day long, how can you see Lord Shen's methods with your dog's eyes open?" Zhang Chi's eyes widened, and the fiery temper of the man in the army was immediately reflected.

However, Zhang Chi's prestige in charge of the army has been very high for a long time, although these generals are all unruly, but they have always been very well-behaved in front of him. Don't talk about scolding, even if Zhang Chi directly starts to beat people, the person who is beaten has to obediently pestle there to continue.

Glancing at the generals, Zhang Chi didn't see the anger on his face, and asked: "Lord Shen ordered my Xuanfu to dispatch cavalry to cut off my retreat, have you ever seen such a big deal in the army all these years?" ”

The tone was very harsh, and several generals did not dare to answer. "Let me tell you, with this generous hand, Lao Tzu Zhang Chi will obey him Shen Chongming!"

"My lord, I'm afraid that this Shen Chongming is whimsical, it's not easy to cut off my way out, once something goes wrong, something big will happen." One of the generals boldly argued.

Zhang Chi didn't scold this time, but changed his face and laughed. "Huh, whimsical? You give the brothers a whimsical look. ”

The general's face turned red, scratched his head and smiled, and he didn't dare to say anything more.

Drinking all the spirits in the bowl, Zhang Chi opened the conversation. "I'll tell you the truth, I've heard of this Lord Shen's name."

As soon as they heard this, the generals immediately became interested, and one of them opened his mouth and asked, "My lord, when have you heard of it?" ”

Zhang Chi smiled: "Do you remember Lord Qi who came to my Xuanfu to train soldiers and horses?" ”

Qi Jiguang's name is powerful and powerful. It is said that when he received an errand to wander around for military training, Qi Jiguang also received a lot of criticism, after all, the men at the border have always looked down on the soldiers and generals of the Southern Guard. At this time, a Qi Jiguang was suddenly killed to guide everyone in military training, and his heart was comfortable.

However, facts speak louder than words, in less than half a year, the border generals realized Qi Jiguang's power, and admired him a lot, and anyone who mentioned Qi Jiguang's name had to give a thumbs up.

"The first time Lao Tzu knew that there was such a person as Shen Chongming, he heard it from the mouth of Lord Qi. According to Lord Qi, this Shen Chongming is not only better at strategy than others, but also a great expert in military training. You say, the person who makes Lord Qi admire, can he be worse? ”

The generals nodded one after another, and the first guy who spoke out to despise Shen Chongming just now was true, "It seems that the last general has no knowledge, according to this, this Lord Shen really has two brushes, this scholar knows the art of war, and he is indeed much stronger than us big bosses." ”

Zhang Chi smiled, "I understand, Lord Shen has already made detailed arrangements for this battle, we just need to obey the order and lead the troops to cut off my retreat, and we must not take Lord Shen's arrangements lightly." According to rumors, although this Lord Shen is young, the military law is very strict, you all have to be careful, understand? ”

"The last general understands!" The generals should be in unison, but they are very obedient in front of Zhang Chi.

"Well, the wine has been drunk, the meat has been eaten, and everything that should be explained to you has been told to you. Now go back and prepare dry food and horse feed, and two days later, 30,000 cavalry soldiers will go out of the Dajing Gate and enter Daqingshan, and they must not lose to the group of turtle grandsons in Datong! Zhang Chi said fiercely. Xuanfu Datong is an important town, although the soldiers of the two places have the righteousness of robes, but they have always been secretly competing to distinguish a high.

As soon as the radical general method came out, the generals were suddenly violent, "My lord, you can see that this time to clean up the Mongolian Tartars, we must let the people of Datong take a good look at our brothers in Xuanfu are the first in the world!" ”

There was a lot of snow on the road, and although Shen Chongming was anxious to arrive at Datong Mansion earlier to inquire about the latest battle situation, he was powerless when he encountered such road conditions, so he could only move forward slowly with patience.

"How many days are there to Datong?" Shen Chongming rolled off the horse and rubbed his hips and asked.

Brother Erdan kept following closely and hurriedly replied when he heard the question: "My lord, according to the current foot strength, it will take at least three days to reach Datong Mansion, but the snow is too thick, and it is impossible to speed up the march." ”

Shen Chongming nodded helplessly, fortunately, the first step of the plan was to hold him back and reduce the spirit of the Mongolian soldiers. Otherwise, based on the current grinding situation, it is designated that the fighter plane will be delayed.

Looking up at the sky, Shen Chongming ordered: "Order the army to stop moving forward and camp here, send people to cut more branches and come back, don't freeze the soldiers in such a cold weather." ”

"My lord, you will arrive at Guangling City after walking for another hour, why do you want to camp here on a cold day?" Brother Erdan asked with a puzzled face.

Shen Chongming shook his head with a wry smile, pointed to the embarrassed soldiers and said, "Look, where does this look like the elite of the imperial court, if we pass through Guangling City in embarrassment like this, how can the people in the city be at ease?" ”

Brother Erdan scratched his head and looked at the soldiers passing in front of him, only to see their bodies on their horses staggering, as if they had lost a battle. Frowning, Brother Erdan turned around and said: "It's also ha, where is this like the elite of Jingwei, and the subordinates look at us now, even the soldiers and horses of those guards are not as good as them." ”

"Well, it seems that it is not possible to do it behind closed doors. If you have the opportunity, it is best to let our Jingwei people go to the border to experience it. Otherwise, if you rush into battle in such weather, you are afraid that you will lose the battle. Shen Chongming said thoughtfully.

Brother Erdan was about to pat himself on the back when he heard this, and suddenly Shen Chongming, who heard it, reprimanded: "What are you doing here, give the order to go immediately!" ”

Brother Erdan turned his head to take a look, only to see that the team was still moving forward slowly, and he had patronized and talked just now, but he forgot about this stubble.

This time, he led the army to Datong Town, although he brought a lot of dry food, but the military tent quilts and the like were not well prepared. Looking at the camping place, there were less than a hundred tents scattered in the east and west, and most of the soldiers could only huddle together around the fire to keep warm, Shen Chongming not only regretted it a little in his heart. Just now, we shouldn't have let the soldiers sleep here for fear of affecting the people's hearts, it's all a shame.

"Report to the Governor, there are a large number of torches ahead, and the identity of the person who came is unknown!" A sergeant who had been on guard ran briskly and hugged his fist.

Shen Chongming raised his eyes and looked at it, only to see that a fire dragon had indeed appeared in the northwest direction. His brows furrowed slightly, and Shen Chongming suddenly smiled: "Don't panic, it may be someone from Guangling City." ”

While speaking, another soldier ran over, "Report to the Governor, Guangling County has come to ask for a meeting!" ”
