Chapter 34: Dispatch of Troops
Zhang Tao is a scheming person, before, he had always stood behind Liu Feng silently, watching all this coldly. The so-called authorities are fascinated, and the bystanders are clear, no matter how angry Liu Feng is, no matter how he can't get off the stage, Zhang Tao has already seen everything.
He knew very well that since Lu Chen took office, although it has only been two or three days, the current border army is no longer the army it used to be, not only is the morale as grand, but also in the hearts of the soldiers, Lu Chen's status is obviously higher than Liu Feng.
"This Lu Chen is not simple, in just a few days, he has successfully established his prestige in the army......
Zhang Tao sighed secretly in his heart, and then, he told Liu Feng that Chen Liang's killing had become an established fact, even if he wanted to change, it would be useless, and there were still many doubts about Wuyue before, rather than delay here, it was better to rush back to the county government as soon as possible.
When Liu Feng came, he was arrogant and proud, but when he left, he walked away with a blue face.
Lu Chen didn't even send him a send, in fact, Liu Feng hated him so much that his teeth itched, how could he not be extremely disgusted with Liu Feng, the head of the county of the common people, if Liu Feng could be killed, he was afraid that Zhao Chuan would have chopped him into meat puree!
And Lu Chen killed Chen Liang on the spot, and the effect of Liwei was obvious.
Subsequently, he ordered the 2nd and 3rd Corps to conduct drills respectively.
These two corps, mostly crossbowmen and Pu Dao soldiers, under his orders, the border soldiers spread out a formation and carried out an imposing drill.
By the time the drill was over, it was nearly noon. Next, Lu Chen had to do one last thing, and it was also his decision after thinking about it all night!
Yesterday when he was discussing in the county government, Xiao Wang proposed three strategies to him, and formulated an important plan for him to govern the border city, Lu Chen was very satisfied, so he also had some more opinions about Xiao Wang in his heart.
In the subsequent discussion of the barbarians, Xiao Wang calmly analyzed the date of the barbarians' next attack, and vouched for it with his head, Xiao Wang at that time, his words were confident and his spirit was flying, these Lu Chen saw it in his eyes, not only did he feel that Xiao Wang was ridiculous like others, but he also appreciated his self-confidence.
In fact, what made Lu Chen really make up his mind was not only Xiao Wang's three strategies and some of his analysis, but a dispensable trivial matter.
That is the volume of official documents that Xiao Wang presented to Lu Chen, in the official document, some of the details of copying Liu Sanjia's property were written in detail, there is nothing in this book, but Lu Chen unexpectedly found that Xiao Wang, a small ordinary soldier, can actually write, and he is also an extremely beautiful handwriting!
He was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything, but he didn't ignore the detail.
You must know that at that time, the imperial power of the empire was weakened, the major vassal states fought against each other, the countries continued to compete for hegemony year after year, the people were displaced, starvation was everywhere, and blood flowed from time to time. In this chaotic environment, seven or eight out of ten young people from all countries have joined the army, not to mention women, even men, and not many can read and write.
In the era of war, the common people are definitely the most suffered, the extreme scarcity of materials, so that people are not warmly clothed, not enough to eat, and they may face the ravages of war at any time, in this case, where do people still have money, how can they still have the conditions to learn calligraphy!
It is no exaggeration to say that in the entire border sergeant stroke, I am afraid that even a hundred people could not be found who could read the words at that time.
And Xiao Wang, a small soldier, can write such beautiful and good characters, which can only show that this person is not simple.
However, after raiding Liu's Mansion at that time, Xiao Wang could report the results orally, and it was more convenient and simple, but he instead presented a volume of official documents to Lu Chen......
Therefore, Lu Chen thought about it again and again, and decided to override public opinion and appoint Xiao Wang exceptionally.
"Xiao Wang is out of the ranks!"
"The subordinates are here!" With the words, Xiao Wang walked out of the phalanx of the First Corps.
"Come close!" Lu Chen said in a positive voice, and when Xiao Wang walked on the platform and stood still in front of him, he first took a deep look at Xiao Wang, and then took off his sword from his waist with one hand, held it high above his head with one hand, looked around at the soldiers below, and said:
"This sword is the official sword! Those who hold this sword and carry out the order, that is, as the military order of this officer, the officers and soldiers of our army, no matter who they are, if they dare to disobey, they will be dealt with by military law! ”
After he finished speaking, the people fell to their knees and looked at the saber in his hand. The sword, in the military, represented status and command, and at that time it was only worn by generals who could give orders.
"All the soldiers obey the order!"
Lu Chen shouted: "Now, this official has appointed Xiao Wang as the commander of the border army and commanded the three armies!" Lead the soldiers of our border army to fight against the barbarian enemy! ”
When people heard this, although their faces were full of incredulity, but no one dared to disagree, Lu Chen's military order and prestige are currently in the border sergeant's stroke, there is no doubt about it, how about the commander Chen Liang? There was even a county head who came to protect him personally, but he disobeyed the military order, and he was still cut by Lu Chen!
"Xiao Wang takes the sword!" Lu Chen said, handing the sword in his hand to Xiao Wang with one hand.
And Xiao Wang, hearing this, was trembling all over his body with excitement, he was familiar with military books and war strategies, and in the past ten years, isn't it just that one day he can meet the master who appreciates him, and then show his talents.
Now, he has finally met, and his mood can be imagined.
"Subordinate, take the order!" He took a deep breath, knelt on one knee, raised his hands above his head, and respectfully took Lu Chen's saber.
After Xiao Wang took the saber, Lu Chen said in order to let him rest assured and boldly display his talents: "General Xiao can march here and send troops to set up the formation, don't care about this officer, since this official has awarded you the saber, it means that this official fully believes in your ability!" ”
When Xiao Wang heard this, he nodded with emotion. Because he understands that in this world, except for Lu Chen, I am afraid that there is no second master who dares to hand over the power to himself like this! That's a lot of trust! What a big heart!
Xiao Wang turned his body and looked at the more than 20,000 soldiers below, holding his sword and shouting:
"Zhao Chuan is out of the ranks!"
"The last general!" Zhao Chuan replied stubbornly, Xiao Wang held Lu Chen's sword in his hand, even if he was reluctant, he would not dare to disobey.
"Between Wuguan and the border city, there is a mountainous land, called Hulukou, from tomorrow, you will be ordered to lead the first corps of 6,000 soldiers to garrison here, there must be no mistake!"
Gourd mouth? Isn't that Kannai? Didn't this guy swear that the barbarians would attack the city in five days, and shouldn't he send troops to Wuguan to garrison it now? What are you doing there?
Zhao Chuan's mind was full of question marks, and at the same time, he said puzzledly: "I...... Did I hear me wrong? What are you doing there to garrison? ”
"How can you know the general's strategy for using troops! Just do what you are told! Xiao Wang said unceremoniously.
"You! ......" Zhao Chuan heard this, his nose was almost crooked, his face turned red, and he held it for a long time before he arched his hand angrily and said: "The last general will take the order!" ”
Xiao Wang didn't even look at him, and continued to shout:
"Zhang Shicheng is out of the ranks!"
"The end ...... The last general ...... "It can be said that Zhang Shicheng is the one who is the most unpleasant in his heart, before, Xiao Wang was still a little-known little soldier under him, but now he is starting to give orders to him, if he can feel good, it will be strange!"
"Order you to lead the 10,000 soldiers of the Second Corps to Hulukou to assist General Zhao Chuan, cut down trees and set up camp here, and set up a wall, this is a military order! Make no mistake! ”
"The end will be obeyed...... Obey ......"
"Wang Yan is out of the ranks!"
"The last general!"
"So that you can lead the people of the headquarters and go to Wuguan to garrison!"
Xiao Wang ordered one after another, at this time, he had long lost the excited and trembling look when he received the sword before, when mobilizing the military horses, he seemed to have suddenly changed people, and that kind of confidence returned to his face, making him like a natural general, and the military orders were issued one after another, making people look like he had won the battle before it was fought.
