The Xishan Army stayed outside Tongzhou City for several days, and no one came to inquire about it, let alone received any news of sending troops. Chen Yue went to see the Inspector Zhou Yanru before entering the city on the second day of his arrival, probably to see the clothes of the seven-grade civil official he was wearing, and the guards of the Governor's Mansion were very arrogant, saying that the Inspector had all the opportunities, and extraordinary people wanted to see it, and the implication was that he was willing to report it only when he asked for silver taels. Chen Yue was willing to pay attention to him, so he naturally turned around and left.

Therefore, in the past five or six days, this army, which numbered only more than 4,000 people, was sent to the southernmost side of the company camp as if it had been forgotten, and only when it went to the army every day to lead the army rations did it show a little sense of existence. Zhang Chengkai inquired and knew that bribing the officials in charge of military rations would give him an extra day's rations. So Chen Yue asked him to give the official double the bribe, so as to receive as much as possible.

More than 200,000 troops were stationed in Tongzhou, and every day people shouted and neighed and made great noise, and the troops of various units were just idle in the barracks every day, and the soldiers played and gambled, bragging, and fart, and it was rare to see a drill once in a few days, which made Chen Yue secretly surprised.

Compared with them, the soldiers of the Xishan Army had a much harder life, and they had to practice once a day to practice physical strength, formation, and combat skills. The sound of the daily drills of this army by the canal spread for miles, and the soldiers of the other armies were secretly amazed, and secretly glad that they had not been subjected to such cruel commanders.

On the morning of this day, when the team was training by the canal, suddenly more than a dozen horsemen galloped out from other military camps and came to the canal to watch from afar. Chen Yue, who was training the team, glanced at it from a distance and ignored it.

"Lao Bai, what do you think of this army?" At the front of the cavalry procession, a thirty-year-old general in silver armor asked another general beside him with a smile.

"That is, the team is more neat, but looking at the stiffness of the movements, most of them are recruits, and as for the combat power, you can't see it." Another general with a beard on his face looked at it for a moment and shook his head.

"Hehe, Lao Bai, don't be too harsh, do you know that this team defeated the Mantars and recovered Fangshan County, and won more than 100 heads." Tang Tong said with a smile.

"It's them!" Bai Guangen exclaimed, he had also heard that there was such a team that defeated the Manchu Tartars with a similar number and won a lot, but he didn't expect it to be the one in front of him, "Since their combat strength is so amazing, why are they placed in such a remote place to garrison, and the Inspector also ignores them." ”

"Hehe, it may be that this Chen Yue has offended too many people, which has caused the dissatisfaction of the Inspector, Lao Bai, you don't know, this Xishan soldier Chen Yue is a ruthless character, not long after, he raided all the coal mines in Xishan, and he gained a lot." Tang Tong said enviously.

"Ah, he's crazy, most of those coal mines are the property of the nobles in Beijing, how dare he?" Bai Guangen was shocked.

"That's why the Overseer will snub him aside." Tang Tong said with a smile.

"Let's go, this person has too many enemies, and sooner or later it won't end well, let's not have anything to do with him." Bai Guangen was about to urge the horse to leave.

"No, maybe we'll have to fight side by side in the future, wouldn't it be good to observe them carefully?" Tang Tong hurriedly said.

"How is that possible? The Governor is drunk and dreams of death every day, but he is just busy collecting his son, and he has no intention of fighting at all. Bai Guangen shook his head and said.

"The war must be fought, even if it is for show. There are so many troops here, except for you and me, that is, Ma Ke and Li Fuming. Ma Ke shamelessly recognized the superintendent as his father-in-law, Li Fumingyuan couldn't count on Ningyuan's side, don't look at the 200,000 army here, who else is the superintendent besides sending you and me to fight? "Don Channel.

"But I won't send them thousands of new troops!" Bai Guangen pointed to the army training in front of him.

"Who let them defeat the Manchu before, although it is only a Manchu cavalry of more than 100 people, this Chen Yue has offended too many people, I am afraid that the nobles in the capital want him to die on the battlefield." Tang Tong said with a mocking face.

"When is it, don't forget to dump!" Bai Guangen sneered.

"Lao Bai, when the time comes, let's all be vigilant, don't fucking lose this bit of strength in your hands. Everything is fake these days, only the soldiers in their hands are real! "Don Channel.

"Although my brain is not as fast as yours, I still understand this truth." Bai Guangen and Tang Tong looked at each other and smiled, and left in unison.

Chen Yue didn't know about this conversation happening in the distance, he just tried hard to urge and supervise the drills of his subordinates, only by improving the strength of his team as much as possible is the foundation of surviving in this troubled world!

Scattered news kept coming, it is said that the Manchu army had been replanting horses in Juzhou for more than a month, and had already returned to the north, and the Manchu army from Shandong, together with more than 400,000 captured people, hundreds of thousands of livestock, and thousands of carts pulling property, queued for 40 or 50 miles.

On this day, a messenger from the Overseer's Mansion finally came, saying that the Overseer had summoned the generals. Chen Yue's spirits perked up, knowing that maybe a big war was coming.

Draped neatly, covered with seven-grade civil official robes, with a sword at the waist and crotch, riding a war horse, with a Shan Minglei iron lion and more than 20 personal guards, he went to Tongzhou.

When I entered the city and came to the governor's line, I saw that outside the wide gate of the mansion, a group of people from the east and a team from the west were full of the generals' personal soldiers. Chen Yue instructed Chen Yan to take his brothers to find a place to rest, and he took the iron lion Shan Minglei and the others into the Governor's Mansion.

This time he was not troubled, and after learning that he was the Xishan Soldier, the gatekeeper of the Governor's Mansion happily led him to the mansion and sent him directly to the hall. The servant in charge of the reception picked it up and arranged Chen Yue and the three of them to a place in the hall.

This location is a little remote from the innermost seat of the hall, located on the edge of a pillar not far from the gate, Chen Yue sat down, looked left and right, and found that the people sitting next to him were all military generals in armor and vulgar manners.

"It's so rude to put an adult in this position!" Shan Minglei behind him said angrily.

"Brother Shi Jian doesn't have to be like this, it's the same wherever he sits, it's not a big deal." Chen Yue appeased Shan Minglei, but his face showed a cold killing intent.

The iron lion stood behind Chen Yue with his sword, a pair of leopard eyes looked around, and his burly and majestic body exuded great deterrence, which made the other generals in the hall suspicious.

"I didn't expect this Chen Yue's subordinates to have such a warrior!" Bai Guangen was surprised by the Tang channel beside him.

"It is not unreasonable that he can kill more than 100 Manchu Tartar cavalry with more than 200 people, and it is not surprising that there are such warriors!" Tang Tong said with a smile. 21010
