Guzhen.

On March 26 of the second year of Wei Xuande, an envoy from the Daliang Mansion in Tokyo came to Guzhen.

Near noon, the scouts came to report that someone had arrived in Tokyo.

Chen Xu got up from his seat, hurriedly went out of the tent, and waited outside Guzhen, and it didn't take long for an official-like man wearing a black veil and a round-necked blue robe to come on horseback, with several attendants behind him and more than ten knights to accompany him.

The civil official's face was very young, not a few years older than Chen Xu, his face was tired, and he was dusty, probably due to the fatigue of the journey.

The civil official in the black gauze round collar and blue robe saw that the generals at the door were surrounded by a military general, so he dismounted, stepped forward and asked, "In the lower left, Lu Qianchuan has come to ask to see the Chen envoy of Guzhen." I don't know where Chen Du is? ”

Lu Qianchuan and Chen Xu don't know each other, they haven't met, so they naturally don't know what Chen Xu looks like, but looking at the appearance of many generals, of course, military generals, surrounded by a general, I have a judgment in my heart, I just want to confirm it again.

"I am Chen Xu." Chen Xu bluntly identified his identity and said with a smile, "It turned out to be a colleague from Tokyo, please do it quickly." ”

Lu Qianchuan hurriedly said: "Congratulations to Chen Du for making the battle record convey to the heavens, and the military rank has been promoted!"

Everyone laughed and congratulated Chen Xu on his ascension.

Chen Xu was half a step ahead and took Lu Qianchuan into the line. As soon as he didn't take a few steps, someone couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked loudly: "Tell us quickly, what position has the eldest brother been promoted?" The person who spoke was Chen Xu's second brother He Meng.

He Meng is a quick temper, Lu Qianchuan just said that Chen Xu was promoted, but he didn't say everything, He Meng is a quick temper, it's not that he is arrogant and domineering, most martial artists are like this, they do things directly and straightforwardly, and there may be some lack of etiquette, so He Meng asked directly.

Lu Qianchuan was slightly stunned, but he didn't get angry because of He Meng's somewhat rude behavior, and said: "Your Majesty learned that Chen Du's achievements were Longyan Dayue, conquered the mighty city, defeated the Shu army reinforcements, and captured no less than 20,000 people, and personally ordered the general to be rewarded, and Wang Xiang personally asked the lower officials to send the appointment certificate, and when he came this time, Feng Xiang, who arrived first, also delivered the appointment letter to Wang Jieshuai......"

He Meng was already a little impatient at this time, his mouth was spurting, and he wanted to speak, but he was secretly slapped by Chen Xu, preventing him from continuing to act.

Maybe there are indeed a few differences between the literati and the military generals, for example, the current Zuo Buque Lu Qianchuan speaks in a literary manner, but most of them are nonsense, do not grasp the point, everyone has no desire to understand these things, they all know these things, and the military general class because of the perennial march to fight, the war pays attention to efficiency and practicality, and does not like flashy things, so most of the words are straightforward, straightforward, and results-oriented. And He Meng, who is a typical martial artist, only wants to know what official Chen Xu has been promoted, but after listening to Lu Qianchuan's tirade, how can he be impatient, and it is good not to beat him.

Lu Qianchuan wanted to say this, let him say it, and Chen Xu didn't lack this time.

After some long words, Lu Qianchuan finally returned to the topic, "The imperial court promoted Chen Du's envoy to the commander of the left wing of the Hujie Army, and concurrently led the Caizhou regiment training envoy, and served as the capital supervisor of the Western Expeditionary Army. ”

A string of official names, in fact, the real power is the commander of the left wing of the Hujie Army, the forbidden army is staying in Tokyo, there is no chance to go to Caizhou, this position is equivalent to a salary of the name, and the previous Chen Xu invited the Huazhou Assassin History, but more advanced, the general local official positions from high to low are divided into the section of the envoy, the observation envoy, the defense envoy, the regimental training envoy, and finally the assassin history. The superintendent of the camp of the Western Expeditionary Army was only a temporary position in wartime, and after the war, it would naturally be relieved.

Everyone didn't speak for a while, probably thinking about how big an official the commander of the chamber was......

The four elites of the Wei Dynasty Forbidden Army, the Hujie Army, the Longjie Army, the Iron Cavalry Army, and the Crane Control Army, were divided into left and right compartments, and the left wing of the Hujie Army was commanded by the direct commander equivalent to one-eighth of the strength of the Wei Forbidden Army.

After a while, everyone laughed and congratulated Chen Xu on his ascension, and the scene became more lively.

Chen Xu laughed and said: "Don't be surprised by Doctor Lu, the brothers are all rough people, straightforward, and there is no malice. Oh, by the way, Dr. Lu has been traveling all the way, sleeping in the open air, and the brothers must entertain the guests from afar! ”

Lu Qianchuan was born as a jinshi, not long after he became an official, he saw a general so polite, arched his hand, and said with a sincere face: "The soldiers went abroad, fought bloodily, and fought on the battlefield.

Lu Qianchuan's words made everyone's perception of him change slightly, and their eyes were slightly gentle.

Since ancient times, the civil and military disputes have been repeated in the long history. The civil officials looked down on the martial artists, and felt that they were rude and rude, brave and unscrupulous; The generals looked down on the literati, thinking that they were full of mouths, and the generals were fighting with their heads outside, but the literati only needed to move their mouths and write a few splendid articles to enjoy wealth and nobility!

It wasn't long before several sergeants carried two baskets of flatbread, three barrels of vegetable soup, and some marinated meat. Marching and fighting, as long as the soldiers are well fed, as for the taste, there are still many people in the world who can't eat, and it's okay for the soldiers to be full of food and drink.

"Don't dislike Dr. Lu, the conditions in the army are difficult, and you really can't make any delicious dishes, our army advocates sharing weal and woe, even the generals' food is the same as other soldiers." Chen Xu waved his hand and said.

It's just that Lu Qianchuan didn't mind at all, and said, "Don't hide it from the general, although the lower official is from a humble background, his family has not been rich since he was a child, and eating bran and swallowing vegetables is always a common thing, besides, I don't know how many people in the world can't eat enough, these flatbreads are made of refined grains, and there are cured meat treats, and it is quite fragrant to eat, and the lower officials are content." ”

Chen Xu laughed and said, "It's good to get used to eating."

What Lu Qianchuan said was not polite, there were a few flatbreads in the bowl in front of him, as well as two cups of vegetable soup, he picked up the flatbread and chewed it, and drank a mouthful of vegetable soup from time to time, eating it with relish. This is true.

Chen Xu was slightly surprised, he thought that this Zuo Buque from Tokyo, as a civil official, should have good family conditions, he could read and write in troubled times, and even be an official, without certain economic conditions, he could not afford to support a literati who was not diligent, and he might not be able to eat these rough food in the army, but he didn't expect that although the other party's behavior was jerky caused by the lack of experience as an official for a short time, but his simple and sincere performance made Chen Xu have a good impression of him.

Only those who really don't have enough to eat will know the preciousness of food.

Seeing Lu Qianchuan's appearance of feasting, Chen Xu smiled slightly, and then joined the ranks of foodies......
