Chapter 828: Raised Fist (8)
However, Chen Cheng had to kill these two people.
"Come on, these two Tatars, they lied to General Ben, and they pulled me out and cut them down." Chen Cheng said slowly.
"Ah, General, General, please, spare our two dogs! Please! ”
The two screamed, but were dragged out by the four soldiers. I heard only two screams, and then it calmed down. A soldier came in and reported: "Back to the general, the heads of the two Tatars have been cut off. ”
Chen Cheng nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Prepare the horse." ”
"Yes, General." The little soldier went to prepare his horse again.
Chen Cheng rode a horse, took four soldiers, and went to Gao Tang.
Gao Tang welcomed Chen Cheng to the newly built barracks. Houses have been built on all sides. Now I am just busy cleaning up the battlefield, leveling the school yard, and some settings need to be made in the house, such as the beds for the soldiers to sleep on, the pots and stoves needed for the room, and they all need to be installed. There are also windows, which have not yet been installed.
When Chen Cheng saw this scene, he smiled and said to Gao Tang: "General Gao, is your progress here fast!" ”
Gao Tang said with a smile: "It's been more than 20 days, what's fast, at this rate, it will take at least half a month to complete it." How's it going for you? ”
Chen Cheng said with a smile: "Don't hide it from General Gao, I will be able to complete it in ten days." ”
Gao Tang smiled and said, "That's still your hurry!" ”
Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Don't look at the project I have there that looks big, but it's simple, it's just to build a stone wall." I don't want to be here, I have to build a house. The project is not small. ”
The two were talking and laughing, and at the same time walked into the newly built Chinese military tent. A large hall that is very spacious. The tables and chairs inside are already set up. Apparently it was transported from Pingliangzhou City.
Chen Chengyou looked around, admired and said, "General Gao, you can transfer troops here!" ”
"Hehe, that's natural." Gao Tang sat behind the table.
Chen Cheng sat on a chair on the right.
Gao Tang then asked, "Brother Chen, is there something you came to me for?" ”
Chen Cheng said: "General Gao, an hour ago, I arrested two Tatars. ”
"Oh? What for? Is it a spy? Gao Tang asked.
Chen Cheng shook his head and said, "It was sent by the Tatar Emperor to borrow grain from the western countries. ”
"Borrow food?" Gao Tang asked.
"Yes, it's borrowed food." Chen Cheng said.
"Not to ask for soldiers?" Gao Tang asked again.
Chen Cheng shook his head and said: "No, General Gao, just look at the drought in Pingliang Prefecture, where is there any food in this radius of more than ten miles!" ”
Gao Tang listened, patted his head, and said, "Yes, I patronized the construction of this military camp and the war." Indeed, all the grain in the fields around here is dead. Huh? No, why isn't there any farming around here? ”
Listening to Gao Tang's incoherent speech, Chen Cheng smiled. Then he said: "General Gao, I see that you are fighting with one mind." I don't care about the people's affairs at all! ”
Gao Tang smiled and said, "Yes, I only think about the war with the Tatar army." It's just that the people of Pingliangzhou City have been put in Jiangnan. There are not many people left in the city, so how can General Ben take care of it? You just can't manage it if you want to, do you? ”
After speaking, he looked at Chen Cheng and laughed, and Chen Cheng also laughed.
Gao Tang continued: "Brother Chen, what you said, I just remembered, it hasn't rained in Pingliangzhou for more than a month, right?" ”
"There you go. Fortunately, the weather in this northern part of the river is not so hot, otherwise it will not rain for more than a month, and we would all be sunburned to death. Hehe. Chen Cheng said with a smile, joking.
"Indeed! It seems that this year is the year of great drought in the northern Middle-earth! No wonder the emperor of the Great Yang Dynasty sent people to the western countries to borrow grain! It seems that this Dayang Imperial Court is already seriously short of food, and it can't withstand it! Gao Tang nodded and said.
Chen Cheng asked, "General Gao, do you want to tell the court the news?" ”
Gao Tang shook his head and said, "Brother Chen, I'm afraid the imperial court has already known about this situation. You know, that magic machine door is not given for nothing! ”
Chen Cheng nodded after hearing this, and said, "Well, what General Gao said is very true, and the imperial court must know it before us." ”
Gao Tang said: "Yes, definitely. ”
Chen Cheng said: "It seems that we feel a little bit like a frog at the bottom of a well here. ”
Gao Tang smiled and said, "Brother Chen, it's not that we are frogs at the bottom of the well, it's that we are negligent about the weather. It's also that we're too busy, even when we're not busy, you and I die studying the military together, and we don't have time to take care of the weather. However, I guess the soldiers below must be talking about it, but you and I don't know. ”
Chen Cheng nodded and said, "Yes, you and I seem to be too nervous. ”
Gao Tang said: "Brother Chen is right, we are indeed a little nervous. So much so that there is no time to care about other things. ”
Gao Tang nodded and said with a smile: "However, this does not affect our war, so that's good." ”
Chen Cheng said: "Yes, our military rations are all transported from Jiangnan, and whether there is a drought here or not has nothing to do with us." Moreover, the common people are almost gone, and they don't have to worry about their food. ”
Gao Tang said: "This is my intention to send all the people in the city to Jiangnan. In this way, we will be constrained. ”
Chen Cheng listened, smiled, and said, "It's still General Gao who has foresight!" ”
Gao Tang smiled, laughing without saying a word.
After a while, Chen Cheng said: "General Gao, I estimate that the Dayang Imperial Court may send someone. ”
Gao Tang frowned, nodded, and said, "I think so too." There's no way they've been without getting the battle here for so long. ”
Chen Cheng said: "However, our defensive military is already about to be built. ”
Gao Tang nodded and said, "Brother Chen, during this time, you have to shoot some people, go to investigate, and when you see someone with Tartar slaves coming, you will immediately arrest and kill them." Try to keep the Tarnu court unaware of the situation here for a long time. It is best to wait until His Majesty has come to Pingliangzhou and left, and then they will know. ”
Chen Cheng frowned and thought for a while, and said, "General Gao, this is unlikely, Your Majesty will not be able to come for a month." For such a long time, it can't be contained. ”
Gao Tang nodded and said, "Brother Chen is right, then let's try our best!" ”
"Well, I can only do my best." Chen Cheng said.
Gao Tang said: "Okay, Brother Chen, go back and grab your fortifications!" ”
"Okay General Gao, I'll go back." Chen Cheng got up and arched his hand and said.
