Chapter 168: Grab the Meal
Li Yan sent people to take Chen Yongfu's troops into the barracks outside the city, and he and Yang Garrison followed Chen Yongfu into the city to the barracks that had been vacated in the city.
His troops had been transferred to the city wall two days earlier, and the city gate tower and arrow tower were slowly occupied, and sheds were built on the city wall. The rest of the troops were basically moved to the villages closest to the county seat. He must ensure that even if Chen Yongfu has any bad intentions, he has the ability to deal with them.
Chen Yongfu entered the barracks and was quite satisfied, so he nodded and said, "Well, it's okay." Prepare food and drinks for my sons. ”
Li Yan arched his hand and said: "Don't worry, Dashuai, you're ready to stop." ”
Chen Yongfu nodded and said, "You go and report to Gao Xun, Ben Shuai has already entered the city." ”
In fact, Chen Yongfu was still a little unhappy, although Gao Mingheng was the same as Su Jing, but Gao Mingheng was a person from Yushitai after all, a noble official, so it would matter if he didn't come to greet him. But Su Jing's county order didn't come out, so he was a little contemptuous. He is the deputy commander-in-chief, even in front of the governor, he has some face, but a county order doesn't take him seriously, how can it be reasonable!
As soon as he finished speaking, one of his personal soldiers came in and reported: "Yu Dashuai, the county order of Qixian County sent someone to see Dashuai." ”
Chen Yongfu nodded and said, "Bring it in." ”
After Wang Bantou was brought in, he arched his hand and said: "Vice General Chen~"
"Get on your knees!" Before Wang Bantou's words were finished, Chen Yongfu's personal soldiers suddenly shouted in unison, which frightened Wang Bantou and immediately knelt down. These soldiers are the most brave people, all of them have beards, some of them have scars on their faces, they are all thick and powerful, they hold the hilt of their swords, and they all look fierce and vicious, which makes people afraid.
Chen Yongfu sat on the chair and looked at Wang Bantou. He asked majestically, "What's the matter?" ”
"Yu, Yu Dashuai, I, our county respects it, and Gao, Gao Xun Press, I have already set up a banquet, give, give to Dashuai." Wang Bantou stumbled and reported.
At this time, Chen Yongfu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Let's get up." Ben Shuai knows, and he will be there later. ”
"Xie Dashuai, Xie Dashuai." After Wang Bantou thanked him twice, he got up from the ground and immediately ran out.
Chen Yongfu smiled contemptuously and said to Li Yan: "Lead the way." ”
Li Yan agreed, and took Chen Yongfu and more than 20 of his personal soldiers to the county office. When they arrived at the county office, Chen Yongfu went in with two personal soldiers, and the others stayed outside. These pro-soldiers who stayed outside were naturally greeted by Li Yan's subordinates, and went to the tea shop next to them to eat and wait.
Chen Yongfu finally met Gao Mingheng and Su Jing in the lobby. Both sides bowed their hands and greeted each other with smiles on their faces. After that, I went to the second hall, drank tea and talked first, and waited for the wine and food to be arranged.
"Vice General Chen," Gao Mingheng asked while rubbing the tea leaves with a tea cover, "Is there a complete strategy for this attack?" ”
Chen Yongfu said with a smile: "Gao Xun press rest assured, they are just some thieves, there are only more than a thousand thieves, and the rest are all homeless people who have been coerced, and they are not in the climate." ”
"Well, that's good." Gao Mingheng nodded and said, "I was going to Suizhou to inspect, so let's go with the general." Now there are no traces of thieves in Suizhou, when will we be able to set off? ”
Chen Yongfu didn't look strange on his face, but he was unhappy in his heart. He came out this time, but he commanded the troops with full authority, even Governor Li Xianfeng did not come out to command. He was reluctant to bring a civil official, and he was still able to give the emperor a direct book to report the imperial history.
He replied, "I can't say for sure, I have to send another sentry to investigate and make a decision." The thieves are wandering around, and they have always been erratic, and they have to be cautious here today and there tomorrow. ”
Gao Mingheng said: "There has been no trace of thieves in Suizhou for more than ten days, and the county seat is also under the control of the official army. The thieves are now collecting grain in Ningling and Songzhou (Guide). ”
"Who told the Inspector about this?" Chen Yongfu asked dissatisfiedly.
Li Yan clenched his fists and said, "It's a lowly report." Now there are lowly sentry agents in Suizhou, and there is indeed no trace of thieves. ”
"Humph! Your report?! A personal soldier behind Chen Yongfu snorted coldly and said, "Do you township soldiers know what a report is?" Don't think that if you win a battle, you can't do anything. ”
Li Yan didn't need to look to know that this pro-soldier should be Chen Yongfu's son, and the two looked very similar. It's just that Chen Yongfu's beard is longer, and his son is just a little blackened hairy on his mouth.
Gao Mingheng put the teacup on the coffee table and made a big noise.
"Presumptuous!" Chen Yongfu scolded: "How can you speak?!" ”
"The subordinates are reckless, please punish the commander." The soldier clenched his fists and said.
Chen Yongfu ordered loudly: "Go back and lead the army for twenty!" ”
"Yes!" The pro-soldier agreed.
Chen Yongfu clenched his fists and explained: "This is the dog Chen De, the current position of the head of Qian, I don't understand the rules, please don't blame Gao Xun." ”
Gao Mingheng waved his hand and said, "It's okay, young man, it's not too much." Teach more in the future. ”
Chen De was also obedient, and immediately hugged his fists and bowed, and said, "Thank you for the teachings of the Inspector." ”
Su Jing opened his mouth at this time: "Vice General Chen, the wine and food are ready, please move to the back hall." ”
Everyone came to the back hall at this time, Gao Mingheng and Su Jing were the main seats, Chen Yongfu was second, then Yang Shoubei, and finally Li Yan was the last to accompany the wine.
They ate and drank in the back hall, and the soldiers in the barracks began to eat. However, Chen Yongfu's soldiers found that they had prepared very little food, only enough for one-third of them.
The soldiers didn't care about this, they all stepped forward to grab food, and there was no discipline at all. But there is so little food, no matter how much you rob it, there will always be people who can't eat, and there will definitely be more than two-thirds of the soldiers who can't eat. Since they all went to rob, they must be robbed more, of course, not just one person's weight. And in the process of snatching, there will be a lot of food on the ground and trampled.
The snatching of the soldiers soon turned into a group fight, and at this time there was no longer the affection of comrades, the world was big, and the food was the biggest. If you can't eat at this time, you can only wait for the porridge in the evening, and the feeling of hunger is uncomfortable, and no one wants to try it.
The officers were finally approached, and they would not eat with the soldiers. By the time they got to the schoolyard, the soldiers were already in a difficult position, and even if they sent their own soldiers to separate the soldiers in the melee, it would be impossible.
The officers had no choice but to let the soldiers continue to fight, and when they were tired of fighting, they stopped. All they had to do was send someone to inform Chen Yongfu, and then go back to their room and continue their fairly sumptuous lunch.
