Chapter 41: Zhang Rudan's Request

Our army suffered more than 100 casualties this time, which can be described as a broken nerve. Zhao Zhong said worriedly, "Regiment leader, are we going to transfer some more people from Lead Mountain?" The big war is imminent, and the Mengyuan army may come at any time. Our army is no longer able to fight. ”

"On the other side of this lead mountain, I'm afraid I won't be able to draw many people for a while." Chen Yuan shook his head. After all, three battalions are being reorganized on the lead mountain side for follow-up operations. It takes time to recruit and train township soldiers.

"In a little while, the Punishment Master will lead the troops. Can we ask Master Xie to replenish our troops? Chen Xiong said on the side.

"It's unlikely. After all, our Leadshan Township Soldiers are different from the Township Soldiers of the Punishment Lord's Department, even if some Township Soldiers are transferred over, I am afraid it will not be useful. Zhao Zhong denied.

"Well, that's what Director Zhao said. We are still based on self-recruitment. Chen Yuan nodded, "Lead Mountain can't be transferred, let's recruit in Anren." Isn't there a lot of people out there? ”

"What is the regiment commander talking about those Mengyuan Han troops?" Chen Xiong said.

"These people are all Han Chinese. Most of them are also because the generals surrendered to the enemy, and the soldiers had no choice but to follow. As long as we do a good job in ideological work, explain clearly the evil deeds of Meng Yuan Tartars and the reason why they want me to be dressed in Huaxia, and let these people understand that Meng Yuan will not be able to destroy my Huaxia clan with a butcher's knife, and the final victory will still be ours. These can still be lost and join us. ”

"Okay, my subordinates are in favor. Most of these people are Jianghuai people who have been in battle for a long time, and if they can join our army, they will certainly be able to greatly enhance our army's combat effectiveness. Zhao Zhong high-fived and praised.

"I've told the Northlanders to convey this. Let's start with treating the wounded soldiers of the Han army. If we treat them sincerely, we will surely be able to make most of the captured soldiers turn their hearts to us and join us. However, if these soldiers join us, they must be strictly trained and strictly follow the rules of our army. ”

"It's nature. Although the regiment commander can rest assured, we will definitely conduct strict training and strictly enforce military discipline. Zhao Zhong said.

"Hmm. After this war, Wu Xiu will definitely wait to join the Mengyuan army in Jiangzhou, and I am afraid that there will be a period of calm in the near future. Our army can make great use of this time to reorganize and train its troops. We will strive to greatly enhance our army's combat strength when the next major war comes. In terms of the recruitment and ideological work of the soldiers, there is still a lot of trouble for Deputy Director Wang; In terms of the reorganization and training of the troops, Director Zhao has to worry a lot. ”

"Your subordinates respect your lordship." Wang Lin and Zhao Zhong bowed their hands in unison.

"That's right, Captain." When the matter was almost discussed, Chen Xiong said again: "That Li Jing is imprisoned in the camp, and he has been clamoring to see you. ”

"What did he see me doing? Didn't you want to persuade me to join him as a traitor? ”

"Not really. Li Jing is a greedy person, who is held by our army, fearing that he will be executed, and he is willing to make a fortune of 20,000 yuan to atone for his sins. Chen Xiong said with a smile.

"Hmph, moth! The affairs of the state are corrupted by the hands of these moths! Wang Lin scolded.

"A small county order can take out as much money as a lot?" Zhao Zhong was also surprised.

It is said that this Li Jing is a native of Anren, who has been an official for more than 20 years, has thousands of acres of fertile land, and still has many properties in Anren. It can be described as a rich party. Chen Xiong continued.

"I won't be missing this Li Jing, Lord Xie is here, hand it over to Lord Xie for disposal." Chen Yuan thought about it for a while and said.

"Commander, we have recruited so many brothers, and the daily consumption is also a lot. Why don't you take some of the wealth of such corrupt officials and corrupt officials? Chen Xiong stepped forward and said softly.

"Xie Fang will arrive in Anren in a few days, and his face is very unpleasant." Chen Yuan shook his head, "Let's talk about this later." At present, the most important thing is to reorganize the contingent and enhance the combat capability of the troops. As long as you can win the battle, what will you not have? ”

Chen Xiong naturally understood this truth and nodded. Then he said: "Speaking of this Li Jing, it can also be thanks to the righteous people in Anren City. It was they who cooperated with our army to successfully defeat the township soldiers recruited by the Li family and caught this thief. ”

"Oh."

"Our army concentrated its forces on the decisive battle with the Mengyuan Han army in the Chengwei camp, and this Li Jing led two hundred township soldiers to guard the county ya, and prepared to come to the Chengwei camp. Fortunately, my brother, who entered the city earlier, set fire everywhere and attracted Li Jing's attention. There were also a few people in the city who organized their clansmen, and together with my Neiying brothers, they defeated Li Jing's township soldiers and cooperated with our army to capture Li Jing. Chen Xiong introduced.

"Oh, where are those people?"

"These people, the matter is settled, they all go home separately. There are two people, one is An Ren Jinshi, whose surname is Chen Xuexin, and the other is Yu Ganren, whose surname is Rudan. The head of the regiment ignored the affairs of Anren, and his subordinates made their own opinions, allowing this Chen Jinshi to deal with it temporarily, anyway, there were brothers guarding each treasury, and nothing was expected to happen. Now Chen Jinshi should be in the county office; In this chapter, Rudan wanted to meet the head of the regiment, so his subordinates brought him and are now waiting outside. Chen Xiong said with a smile.

"Anren Chen Xuexin, his subordinates have heard of his reputation, he is a jinshi in the Chunyou period of Li Zong; This remnant Zhang Rudan, could it be Zhang Xizhou? What does it look like? How old is it? Wang Lin exclaimed.

"Zhang Xizhou? What it looks like, just look at it. Chen Xiong said.

"Hurry up, please." Chen Yuan said, walking to the door with Wang Lin and the others. This Zhang Rudan should be the Zhang Rudan who guarded Anren with Xie Fangde in history, and it is worth Chen Yuan to go out to greet him.

After a while, a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed plainly and with a calm demeanor, walked over.

When Wang Lin saw it, he was sure of nine points in his heart, and stepped forward and said, "Is it Yu Ganjin Shixi Zhou Zhang's senior?" At the end of his life, Wang Lin had seen Zhang's predecessors. ”

The middle-aged man was also shocked when he saw that someone recognized him, and he returned the salute, "It is Yu Ganzhang Rudan, I don't know what it is?" ”

"The surname of the late born is Wang Minglin, and now he is serving in the army of Lord Chen, the commander of the Leadshan Township Army, and he often hears the name of Lord Zhang. I am very fortunate to see it today, and I am very fortunate to be very lucky. ”

"Wang Xiaoyou is polite." Zhang Rudan nodded.

"Wang is introduced to Master Zhang." Wang Qilin took a step sideways and said to Chen: "Commander, this person is Yu Ganzhang Xi Zhou Zhang Jinshi, who once signed the judgment in Fuzhou. Then he pointed at Chen Yuan and said: "Senior Zhang, this is Lord Chen Yuan, the commander of the township soldiers in Leadshan County." ”

"I've seen Commander Chen. Chen commanded more than 500 people, conquered the elite of the Mengyuan and Han armies, recovered Anren, and Zhang was admired. Zhang Ruliang arched his hand.

"Kill Chen. If it weren't for Lord Zhang, Lord Chen and others leading the crowd to respond, with Chen Yuan's hundreds of people, how could they recover Anren City. Chen also wanted to thank Lord Zhang for his help. Chen Yuan hurriedly thanked him and returned the courtesy.

Both adults were in a hurry. Commander Chen led the attack outside, and Lord Zhang led the people inside, so that he could capture the traitor Li Jing and restore Anren. Wang Lin said.

"Hehe, what Wang Gongzi said is reasonable. Today's situation requires our generation of people with lofty ideals to join hands to defend against the enemy. Only then can we save the country from falling. Lord Chen, what do you think? Zhang Rudan said with a smile.

"Lord Zhang is loyal to national affairs and has lofty ambitions, Chen is young and shallow, and he is willing to take Lord Zhang's head as a foresight. Chapter-sama, please! ”

"Hehe, Commander Chen is too humble. With 500 people, he can defeat the elite of the enemy and recover Anren, and if he is one day, he will be the pillar of the court. Zhang Rudan smiled and nodded, approvingly.

"My lord Miu praised. Come in. ”

"Commander Chen, please."

The two were humble for a while, but Zhang Rudan still couldn't resist Chen Yuanqian, and entered the hall surrounded by everyone.

"Chen has not been able to go to see Lord Zhang and Lord Chen because of his busy military affairs, and he doesn't want to come against Lord Lao Zhang, so I ask for forgiveness." Under the hosts of the hall, Chen Yuan bowed.

"Lord Chen is polite. Just after the fierce battle, everything in the camp was naturally complicated, and Zhang came uninvited, thinking that he was disturbing Commander Chen. ”

"Don't dare. If it weren't for the help of Master Zhang and Lord Chen, Chen didn't know if he would be able to sit here. Chen thanked Master Zhang again. Chen Yuan arched his hand. In this time and space, Chen rarely interacted with the scholars, so he had to keep saying some compliments.

"Chen leads the young heroes, so he can lead the army to defeat the enemy and win, what can Yu Zhang do." Zhang Rudan shook his head and said.

"They are all serving the imperial court, Lord Zhang, and Commander Chen are not separated from each other." Wang Lin said on the side.

"Hehe, exactly." The two laughed.

"I don't know if Master Zhang came this time, do you have any advice?" Chen Yuan asked.

"Commander Chen's subordinate township soldiers, the combat power is Zhang, and he has never seen it, so he wants to come and see it. There is another matter, I also want to ask Commander Chen to help me with one or two. Zhang Rudan said.

"I don't know what? Chen will spare no effort to help what he can help. ”

"Zhang also gathered some village soldiers a few days ago, but there was a shortage of weapons. The commander of the newly defeated enemy must have captured a lot, I wonder if he can help one or two? ”

"It's easy to hear. As Wang Gongzi said, they all serve the court, so how can they divide each other. Chen Yuan said with a smile, "Chen Yuan's department is also newly recruited, and Lord Lai has to take care of it and pull out some weapons." Although there are still shortcomings now, it is also appropriate to take out some support for Master Zhang. I see, I will pull out ten horses, twenty cotton armor, thirty bows, and a few other knives and guns, what does Lord Xie think? ”

"Haha, Master Chen is a bold person, Zhang Mou thanked him here." Zhang Rudan got up and thanked him.
