When I returned to the camp, I saw Zhao Zhong, Wang Liang and others waiting in the barracks lobby. I think they all heard about the city gate and rushed over.

"My lord, this Anren City is a brother who fought hard to get here, what is the matter with Zhang Rudan! In the mouth of the surnamed Chen, we seem to have picked them up cheaply. Back in the camp, Chen Xiong was still angry.

"The world is so chaotic, it's all bad things for these readers. These readers, after reading two books, raised their heads to the sky, and really thought that they were invincible in the world. Phew, when I met Meng Yuan one by one, my knees were weak, and I knelt faster than anyone else. Zhao Yong scolded.

"Alas, it has been the case since Emperor Taizong. This noble and martial arts, the ministers are facing us, which one does not nostrils to the sky! We are humble and martial artists, but we have merit, they are all the work of Wenchen's planning, if we fail, we are afraid of the enemy and do not fight hard! Zhao Yong also sighed.

"My lord, as soon as this Chen Qian entered the city, he wanted to erase our great achievement in conquering Anren, this kind of guy wearing a turban is by no means a good thing, we can't let him send it."

Talking about the matter at the city gate, several martial artists scolded on the spot. Only Wang Lin was a literati, standing aside with a red face and not embarrassed, not knowing what to say.

"Okay, let's not say a word." After a few people scolded for a while, Chen Yuan got up and waved his hand.

"My lord, with Chen Xiao's appearance, we will have to give us small shoes to wear in the future, so we have to be careful." Chen Xiong was still unwilling.

"This Chen Xiao is also under the command of Master Xie. In a few days, Master Xie will arrive, and he will not dare to embarrass us too much. Moreover, I have also heard of Chen Xiao, although he is a little self-righteous, but he is a loyal and determined person to resist the Yuan. Wang Lin stepped forward and said.

"Hmph, I can't trust him anyway. Let him lead us, and maybe one day he will pit us to death. Chen Xiong shook his head and said.

"However, Lord Xie has already given the order. If we don't obey orders, isn't this blatant disobedience? Wang Lin worried.

"It's a big deal, let's go back to the estuary, I don't believe they can do anything to us!" Chen Xiong shouted.

"If you don't obey the order and return, you are a traitor!"

"Okay, let's not talk about it." Chen Yuan shouted. The two of them stopped, and everyone in the hall quieted down to listen to Chen Yuan's final decision.

"Xiongzi, Wang Gongzi, brothers, I think we should first clarify a question, what are we doing here in Anren this time?"

"Naturally, it is to fight the Tartars, expel the Tartars, and defend the country." Chen Xiong nodded.

"Expel the Tartars and defend the country." Several people in the hall shouted.

"Yes, we're here to fight Tartars, not to fight people." Chen Yuan continued, "Who took this Anren City, is it that important?" We have defeated hundreds of elites of the Tatar Han army here, our brothers have been trained, our team has also developed, and our gains are enough. Do we need to fight to the death with those people for some merit? Could it be that we can still expect the precarious court to give us any reward? ”

"What my lord said is that this court doesn't know what to do now, and we can't expect the court's reward." Zhao Yong nodded.

"Who says what reward can be given from above? I just can't get used to those people, they don't have any ability when they meet the enemy, but they look arrogant. I'm also worried that they will give us trouble in the future. Chen Xiongfen said.

"If you don't get used to seeing less, just do our own thing. If we don't expect anything from them, what can they do? They beat Meng Yuan, and let's do it together. They fled and surrendered, and we will fight Meng Yuan alone. Chen Yuan said lightly.

"Commander, what if the surnamed Chen orders the brothers?" Zhao Zhong said worriedly. The so-called official level crushes people to death, and the Zhao brothers have been mixed in the system for many years, and they have seen a lot of this kind of thing.

"As long as our brothers unite and form a group, we are not afraid of any tricks played above. As long as it is conducive to fighting against Meng Yuan, we will do it, and we will resolutely not agree to unreasonable demands. Chen Yuan said lightly.

"Yes. It's a big deal for us to break up with them. Chen Xiong shouted.

Everyone in the hall nodded, Wang Lin sighed, and stopped talking.

"Okay, let's go and get busy, hurry up the drills, and improve the combat power. As long as we become more united and stronger, it will not be so easy for anyone to deal with us. ”

"Okay, with that, we know what to do." Chen Xiong said with a smile.

"Hmph, don't make trouble in the future, and train the team well. Newly joined brothers should be treated equally and enthusiastically. Some who have the ability and perform well may wish to be promoted and reused. Our team pays attention to the capable and the mediocre. ”

"Yes." Chen Xiong solemnly promised.

"The mission office must do a good job in the ideological work of the new brothers, and explain clearly why we want to fight the Tartars. Let them stay in our team with peace of mind and resolutely fight Tartar with us. In two days, the Hekou regiment headquarters will send some people over to cooperate with you in doing a good job in the propaganda and education work of the troops. ”

"Yes." Wang Lin arched his hand.

"Commander, how many people will be sent over this time?" Chen Xiongxi said. Now, the new and old soldiers are basically mixed, and although the team has expanded a little, it has also become more complicated. The company formed by the former Han sergeants and soldiers repeatedly violated discipline.

"There are probably more than 100 people, most of them are veterans."

"Well, with this group of people, things are much easier. I suggest that when these men arrive, the old and new companies should be mixed. Chen Xiong said.

"Battalion commander, this can't be done, the adults just said that these people are all from the regiment headquarters, and they need to cooperate with the mission department." Wang Lin hurriedly shouted.

"The regiment headquarters and the battalion headquarters are not all the same, they are all the same. Isn't it the same thing to lead troops in missions? ”

Wang Lin looked at Chen Yuan, Chen Yuan smiled and said, "You can arrange this matter yourself, I don't care." You go do yours, I'll go to the wounded camp and have a look. Chen Yuan waved his hand, and everyone went out separately.

……..

Anren County Ya, Chen and Zhang people are high-spirited, talking and laughing very happily. Chen Xiao and Zhang Rudan were originally Jinshi in the same year, and they were close neighbors in Xiangzi, they were originally friends, and now they are very excited to reunite with old friends.

After talking about the old things for a while, the topic turned to the current Anren matter. Hearing that Zhang Rudan had gathered nearly 1,000 villagers, Chen Wei was very interested and immediately proposed to go to watch, Zhang Rudan readily agreed and went out together.

Zhang Rudan's subordinates live relatively scattered, but they all surround the county office, and while practicing, they also guard the county government and the treasury.

"Brother Xi Zhou, everywhere in this county has not been fired, presumably you will take it. There is no shortage of materials in the warehouses of Anren, so that our army has no worries about lack of food, and you can be regarded as a great achievement. Chen Wei pointed to the storehouses.

"Haha, Weijie, you look up to me." Zhang Rudan said with a smile, "At the beginning of the war, Chen Yuan led the township soldiers to suddenly enter Anren City for some reason, and the main force of his troops fought fiercely with the Han army in the city guard camp. There was also a small group of soldiers and horses to attack the county government. Although I secretly gathered more than 100 people, it happened suddenly, and it didn't make a big difference, but I just cooperated to pick up some cheap. The enemies in this city were all annihilated by Commander Chen. I am ashamed of what you said at the gate of the city. ”

"I just received a letter from Xi Zhou on the way, and I learned that Xi Zhou was preparing in the city. I still want to join forces with Xi Zhou and come to meet with the outside, I don't want Chen Yuan to take the lead. On that day, Xi Zhou gathered people to fight, so why be ashamed. When Lord Xie comes, I will recommend him to him. Chen Xiao waved his hand.

Zhang Rudan also understood what Chen Xiao meant, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head gently.

Hey, this Wei Jie is still the same general nerd. I think I care that Chen Yuan has robbed the credit. However, with the change of elite reinforcements of the Mengyuan Han army, if there is no combat power of the township soldiers in the lead mountain, with his more than 2,000 township soldiers, although he has his own two internal responses, whether this Anren can be defeated is still two words. The battle of Anren that day, I still have palpitations when I think about it now.

"Hey, Xi Zhou, your township soldiers' drills are quite different." Chen Wei smiled and pointed to the hundreds of soldiers in front of him.

In front of the two of them, more than 100 village soldiers were neatly lined up in several lines, and they were shouting with an instructor, constantly turning left and right. Although the military formation was relatively strict, the soldiers were all bare-handed.

"What makes sense of that? Why don't you practice weapons, don't play formations, line up upside down, and turn around. ”

"Hehe, you don't know anything about Weijie. I don't know anything about this village soldier drill. These are all methods from Commander Chen. The soldiers of Leadshan Township were well-trained and brave in battle, so I begged Commander Chen with a shy face. Commander Chen was also enthusiastic, so he sent some people over to help with the drill. ”

"This kind of messy thing, what's there to practice. Above this battle array is to make swords and guns desperate, not such tricks. The lieutenant who came with him said disdainfully.

"Oh." Xie Rudan looked over.

"Hugh is rude." Chen Wei snorted lightly, then turned around and smiled: "Xi Zhou, this is Captain Meng, he was originally the commander of the forbidden army, he has been by Lord Xie's side all the year round, he has been in battle for a long time, he is familiar with the tactics of war, and he is very heroic. ”

"Don't dare." Captain Meng arched his hand.

"Okay, in the future, these township soldiers will have to take care of Captain Meng more."

"But there is a fate, Meng dares to do his best." Captain Meng arched his hand.

"Then please tell Captain Meng how to deal with these township soldiers." Xie Rudan was a belligerent in the battle, so he couldn't help but ask for advice on the spot.

"The way of this battle formation, the first is to use weapons and weapons, and the second is to practice. These village soldiers, I see that they have no armor, and they are very lacking in weapons, and this is the most important thing, they should raise weapons and then practice and familiarize themselves, otherwise they will be like a group of farmers, how can they go into battle to kill the enemy. ”

"This weapon has been being raised, but it has not been able to be raised for a while. Fortunately, Commander Chen supported a group, and some were captured in the battle formation last time, otherwise everyone would have to take a stick into battle. Zhang Rudan said with a smile.

"Isn't there any weapons in this county treasury?" Chen asked.

"Most of the weapons in this county treasury were taken by Li Jing, and the rest were also taken away by Chen Tong. Now in the armory, empty. Zhang Rudan spread his hands and said.

"The county treasury, every bit is the property of the imperial court, Chen Yuan is the commander of a township soldier, how can he take the treasury privately." Chen Xiao's face suddenly sank.

"It's not a private take." Chen Xuexin explained, "After conquering Anren County, Chen Yuan temporarily paid me all the affairs of Anren, and the money and grain depot did not move at all, and I was notified of the collection of these weapons. In wartime, it is reasonable to take weapons and equip village soldiers to prevent the enemy from attacking. The great festival cannot be delved into. ”

"Not really. All the things in the county treasury are the things of the imperial court, and they all need to be ordered to do so, how can they be taken privately. Brother Xi Zhou, how much did Chen Yuan's department take, do you have an account to check? ”

"Accounts are naturally there. There are not many, only some knives and guns and more than a dozen cotton armors. ”

"It's easy to do it if you have an account." Chen Xiao nodded, turned to Captain Meng and said, "Meng Zhong, you go to see that Chen Yuan and ask him to hand over those things back." ”

"No, Brother Weijie. This time to take Anren, Chen Yuan's department suffered a lot of injuries, and made great contributions, just to take some weapons, why should you care so much. Zhang Rudan hurriedly dissuaded.

"The state affairs are so corrupt, and the army of our Great Song Dynasty will be defeated when it touches the enemy, in the final analysis, it is not strict discipline and orders. Now, the military headquarters of Leadshan Township is under the command of Chen, how can Chen condone such a violation of the order. Military orders must be taken seriously, and then the enemy can be defeated. Chen Wei shook his head and said, "Meng Zhong, you go and pass on the order of the current control and ask him to hand over the weapons he has taken without permission." In addition, I heard that his subordinates took in and surrendered soldiers without authorization, which was also not in accordance with the law of the imperial court. Let him stop the incorporation, and transfer Li Jing and the soldiers to your ministry for detention, and wait for Lord Xie to come and deal with them together. Jinjiang Town outside the city is also the key point of Anren's land and water, so he must not lose it, so he will lead the township soldiers to garrison it on the same day, and the Erbu will take over the city defense. ”

"Yes." Captain Meng arched his hand excitedly.

"Brother Weijie, let's think about this matter carefully." Xie Rudan hurriedly persuaded.

"Brother Xi Zhou, what the army pays attention to is the prohibition of orders, and Chen's military order is immediately issued, how can there be any reason to take it back." Chen Wei waved his hand and said, "Meng Zhong, you go quickly, and the consulate will take over all parts of the city." ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey." Captain Meng gave a salute and strode away.
