Yang Wu stayed with Yang Jing for a long time, asking her many questions about Zhou Mengjie, until Yang Jing got impatient and drove him out, and he returned to his courtyard satisfied. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw Xiaocui and Yang Liu walking forward quickly and said, "Where did the son go?" The king is looking for you! ”

"Father looking for me? Don't know what's going on? Yang Wu drank a lot of wine before, and used the strength of the wine to mess around with Yang Jing, but now after calming down, he felt very tired, and his eyes were a little unable to hold up. When I heard that my father was looking for him, I barely bothered to cheer up.

"I don't know about this, but I heard that Feng Hongduo, the assassin of Shengzhou, sent warships to block the river, and the king must have something to do with it." Yang Liu saw that he looked drunk, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

"Sure enough, it was Feng Hongduo who rebelled!"

Yang Wu was shocked in his heart, he remembered that there were two major events in Huainan in June of this year, the first was the incident of Feng Hongduo's army in early June, and the other was the incident of Yang Xingmi's dispatch of troops to attack Zhu Quanzhong.

Now as soon as he heard that Feng Hongduo had sent warships to blockade the river, he knew that Feng Hongduo had raised troops to attack Xuanzhou. Not long after this, Feng Hongduo's army was defeated by Tian Yan. After the victory, Tian Zhizhi was full of pride and came to Guangling to seek Shengzhou, but was rejected by Yang Xingmi, and instead sent Li Shenfu as the assassin of Shengzhou.

This incident and some of the things that happened afterwards caused Tian Yan to be extremely dissatisfied, and from then on he stepped up his preparations for rebellion.

Of course, these things are not the most critical for Yang Wu at the moment. For him, the most important thing is to build as much credit as possible, build his own team and increase his prestige.

At the moment, he didn't think much about it, and hurriedly went to take a shower, and after changing the sweaty clothes all over his body, he went to see Yang Xingmi with some energy.

June is the hottest time in Gangnam, and although it occasionally rains, most of the time the sun is shining.

Today's Shengzhou, which is later known as Nanjing, is known as one of the three furnaces on the Yangtze River. In this era, it is also famous for its summer heat.

It's dusk, but it's still hot.

This is Renjiazhuang, more than 30 miles away from Shengzhou City, and there is a small river flowing around Zhuangzi outside Zhuangzi.

It is said to be a Zhuangzi, but in fact it has long been abandoned, and only a small number of uncollapsed earthen walls remain to tell everyone that it was once inhabited. At this moment in Zhuangzi, the arrival of an army of 1,000 people broke the tranquility here. Rows of tents lined up in the Zhuangzi, and groups of soldiers patrolled along the Zhuangzi, in addition to many secret posts that were assigned to lurk near the Zhuangzi.

This army was under the command of General Qin Pei, who crossed the river from Guangling, and the 500 men under Yang Wu were also stationed in this Zhuangzi.

Since Feng Hongduo had already sent a naval army to block the nearby river, the army led by Li Shenfu had no choice but to cross the river upstream. This time and forth, it was delayed for a lot of time, and the army that crossed the river was only more than 6,000 people. Fortunately, the news sent by Xizuo confirmed that the main force of the current Shengzhou army, under the personal leadership of Feng Hongduo, had gone south to attack Xuanzhou. Therefore, more than 6,000 elite soldiers, led by famous generals such as Li Shenfu, are enough to deal with the army left behind in Shengzhou.

He organized the whole army into the vanguard, the middle army, and the rearguard. 1,000 forwards, led by Lu Shizao; The rearguard was also a thousand people, led by General Qin Pei; Li Shenfu himself led the Chinese army of more than 4,000 people.

The vanguard army was responsible for opening the way, which was the most dangerous, while the rear army was relatively safe, and Yang Wu was also arranged here to accept the command of General Qin Pei. Regarding Li Shenfu's arrangement, he didn't know whether it was his father's private entrustment or Li Shenfu's own decision.

But in his opinion, the most important thing in marching and fighting in ancient times was the vanguard, and now not to mention that the vanguard can't be the vanguard, even the Chinese army can't enter, so he can only stay in the rearguard. What is a defender responsible for? Specially designed to protect grain and grass. It seems important, but it's actually hard to get credit together.

He still remembers that three days ago, when he went to see his father, Yang Xingmi said to him, "You should know everything about Shengzhou, right?" My father has ordered General Li Shenfu to lead the army across the river to quell the rebellion, and you should also lead a battalion of soldiers under your command to participate in this counterinsurgency! ”

"This time, according to the information we have gotten, Feng Hongduo's main force should attack Xuanzhou in the south, and there should not be many people left in Shengzhou. So there won't be much danger for you to go on this expedition. ”

"Father doesn't expect you to do anything great on this expedition, as long as you can fulfill your duties well and adapt to real barracks life. As for meritorious service, there will be opportunities in the future. ”

Yang Xingmi also said a lot of things that day, but at that time, Yang Wu was still a little unconscious because he had drunk a lot of wine before, so after he slept the next day, he didn't remember much about his father's words.

He had long forgotten the words that instructed him on how to be a good general, but he remembered his father's last words clearly.

"Wu'er, you have to remember that although this expedition should not encounter danger according to common sense, no one can say for sure what will happen on the battlefield, in case you really encounter danger, my father would rather you be a deserter than you would be brave for a moment and lose your life in vain." Yang Xingmi patted him on the shoulder, and earnestly asked, "You must know that you are my eldest son, even if you have not achieved an inch of success and become a runaway general, as long as you are still there, your father will be able to support you to the position of Huainan Jiedu envoy in the future!" ”

Pity the hearts of parents in the world, Yang Xingmi is a hero, although he is generous, but he also hates those who are deserters on the battlefield. Now he actually said such things to his eldest son, in the final analysis, his love for his son is too keen.

After settling down in this Zhuangzi, Qin Pei asked Yang Wu to stay and arrange the camp, and he rushed to Li Shenfu's Chinese army with the guards around him. It's not far from Shengju here, and tomorrow there is a good chance that there will be a big battle, and he will have to go over and consult with other generals on military affairs.

After a hasty dinner, it was already completely dark. Yang Wu took off the armor on his body, changed into light casual clothes, and asked Zhu Siqing beside him, "Have you arranged the patrols everywhere?" ”

"It's been arranged, the last general and General Fan have just made rounds along the place, and the soldiers in charge of patrolling are all in place." Zhu Siqing replied with a fist.

"There are also patrols along the river, and although it is very unlikely that the enemy will dive from the river, it has to be guarded against."

"The general has already thought of this, and has already arranged for a team of people under Commander Liu to take turns to inspect."

Commander Liu's name is Liu Dequan, and he is the commander of another battalion in this thousand-strong army, a short and fat man in his thirties who was appointed as the battalion commander because of his bravery in battle.

"Well, you do things, I don't worry. Since it's all arranged, you should rest early. It's hot and it's hard to sleep, but you still have to get up in the middle of the night to keep vigil, so it's good to have a little more rest now. ”

As for the safety of Zhuangzi, Yang Wu is not very worried. The news sent back by the first detail said that Feng Hongduo's main force was fighting with Tian Yan's naval army near Geshan, and there were not many troops left behind in Shengzhou, and they had been closing the city gate and holding out. Second, this is the rear army, which is far away from Shengzhou, and even if the Shengzhou army wants to go out of the city to attack them, it will first find the front army of Lu Shizao or Li Shenfu's Chinese army.

What's more, in Yang Wu's opinion, even if the Shengzhou army comes to attack, this abandoned Zhuangzi is surrounded by water on three sides, as long as the remaining side is guarded, it will be difficult for the attacking enemy army to attack no matter how many people there are.

Looking at Diao Yanneng and Chen Yanqian on the side, Yang Wu couldn't help laughing, "Alu, can you still hold on to such a hot weather?" ”

"Childe, your subordinates can still hold on." Diao Yanneng said with a resolute face. Although he is still young, he has a strong temperament and is very able to endure hardships. It's just that when Yang Wu watched his loyalty with Chen Yanqian, he found that Chen Yanqian's loyalty had directly reached 5 points, while Diao Yanneng's loyalty was only 2 points.

This situation also let Yang Wu know that Diao Yan has not yet been able to be completely loyal, although this little guy is young, he is obviously very assertive, and he will not blindly trust a person, but once he is loyal, he will always be loyal.

In history, he was originally Xu Zhixun's subordinate, but he felt that Xu Zhixun was difficult to achieve, but he was optimistic about Xu Zhihe, so a few times when Xu Zhixun wanted to kill Xu Zhihe, he secretly warned Xu Zhihe, which can be said to have indirectly saved Xu Zhihe's life. Later, when he was under Xu Zhihe, he was able to be loyal to his duties and conscientious.

Therefore, Yang Wu felt that he needed to find some way to completely subdue Diao Yanneng, and he was usually different from the other guards, so he didn't miss asking about his situation.

Immediately, he asked Chen Yanqian again, "Brother Chen, are you feeling better now?" ”

Chen Yanqian suffered from heat stroke at noon today, and he rested for a long time in the shade of a tree before relieving. At this moment, his face was still a little pale, and he said with a wry smile, "Thank you Gongzi for your concern, my subordinates are much better." However, his subordinates had never thought of marching against such a large sun before, and this was a special experience. ”

He was originally going to go back to Runzhou to hand over official business and then return to Yang Wu's side, but who knew that Feng Hongduo suddenly made a difficult attack to block the river, and when he heard that Yang Wu was going to go with the army, he also offered to accompany the army as a staff officer. As for Aru, he is now Yang Wu's bodyguard, so naturally he has to take it with him.

However, these two had never experienced the march under the scorching sun above their heads in such a hot weather before, and after three days, the two of them were already tired.

In fact, not only the two of them, but the battalion led by Qin Pei of more than 500 people, after marching under the scorching sun for three days, is now listless and complaining, many people took off their armor when they were marching, and the queue was also in groups of three or five, and there were not many troops.

On the contrary, it was Yang Wu and more than 500 people under his command, because they had received various trainings for more than two months before, although they were also very hard and tired, but the queue was still very strict during the march, and the armor was also neatly worn.

This made Chen Yanqian admire, "The soldiers under the command of Gongzi are really elite, and the strictness of military discipline makes his subordinates breathtaking." According to the opinion of his subordinates, although Childe's pro-army is only 500 people, he can definitely be one as ten when he really goes to the battlefield. ”

Looking at such an army, Yang Wu was also proud in his heart, and he secretly thought to himself, "This is what I personally trained!" The results of two months of hard work were not in vain. ”

Feeling the cool breeze blowing by the river, Yang Wu gradually felt a wave of sleepiness coming, and he was also tired from the march of the past two days, so he went back to his camp to rest after greeting Chen Yanqian and them.
