Chapter 32: The Expedition
Early in the morning, a group of lightly armed cavalry wearing black armor came to Chen Xun's mansion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Outside the door, Chen Xun waited there early, because both Lu Bu and Li Ru agreed with him to send soldiers and horses early this morning. And the leader of this army is a middle-aged man wearing a housekeeper's costume, and he thinks that this army should be Li Ru's.
The middle-aged man in the housekeeper's costume dismounted and saluted Chen Xun and said, "Under the line, Li Wangnai is the housekeeper of the Li Mansion, and he is specially ordered by my master to lead the people, see Captain Chen." ”
"Even, it turned out that the soldiers and horses who were born first were really strong, and Chen Xun thanked Mr." Chen Xun deliberately put on a surprised expression and said.
"Captain Chen laughed, although this army is elite, most of them are reconnaissance and intelligence assassinations, and the frontal fight is not as good as the soldiers and horses you brought from Xuzhou." Li Wang said with a smile.
"I don't know if Wen Xian had anything to say to me when he was born." Chen Xun first exchanged a few polite words with Li Wang, and then asked.
"Even, look at my brain." Li Wang patted his head, and said with a look of sudden realization: "My master said that although Dong Shilang's soldiers and horses have been assembled and standby, the grain and grass have not yet been prepared, and it will take at least five days to prepare the grain and grass with the ability of my master." ”
When Chen Xun heard this, his eyes couldn't help flashing, he knew that the grain and grass of Dong Huang's army should have been prepared according to Dong Zhuo's attention, and Li Ru should have used a lot of relationships to detain Dong Huang's grain and grass for a few days this time, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of gratitude in his heart.
Five days, this time is enough for Chen Xun to run in this elite army that has been scraped together, and the so-called soldiers are fast, and five days can also add a lot of color to Chen Xun's plan.
Chen Xun bowed his hand and said, "Steward Li, thank you for me." ”
"Captain Chen is not busy thanking you first, my lord said that if there is any loot on this expedition, don't forget to bring some back to my lord." Li Wangdui said with a smile.
Chen Xun couldn't help but pause when he heard this: "I plan to travel lightly on this expedition, if I am lucky enough to have some gains, I can only solve it on the spot, after all, I don't have so many soldiers and horses to bring those trophies back." ”
Li Wang rubbed his hands and said, "Captain Chen is not in a hurry, this time the master asked me to come here and plan for the captain a long time ago." ”
After that, Li Wang took out a token from his arms and said: "With this token, Captain Chen, you can mobilize the local government to help you bring the loot back to Luoyang." ”
Chen Xun couldn't help but feel black lines in his mind when he heard this.
"Li Wenyou, Li Wenyou, you were waiting for me here, why don't you give me more soldiers and horses if you have this token."
Chen Xun said with a look of embarrassment on his face: "Steward Li, this time I plan to march quickly, and it will take time to notify the local government with the token." ”
"It's okay, my lord already knew that Captain Chen would have this difficulty, so he had already thought of a solution, Hu Che'er, you are out of line." Li Wang shouted to the rear.
I saw a burly man with a beard on his face stand out from the phalanx and salute Chen Xun.
"This person's name is Hu Che'er, and he can travel hundreds of miles a day, as long as Captain Chen gives him the token, he can rest assured that the loot will not be wasted."
Chen Xun nodded as if struggling, but his heart was full of joy, Hu Che'er was a big bull, and he once said that Cao Cao was the general in the romance. At the beginning of Zhang Xiu, he was pro-family. Che'er bravely crowned his army, and embroidered down, Taizu loved his Xiaojian, and his hand was gold. Embroidery heard and suspected that Taizu wanted to stab him left and right, so he rebelled. From this passage, it can be seen that Hu Che'er's bravery is even highly valued by Cao Cao, you must know that there are too many cattle under Cao Cao to count at that time.
Li Wang and Chen Xun exchanged two more polite sentences, said some nonsense, and rode back home.
Not long after, a mighty general came to the door of Chen Xunfu with three hundred soldiers on horseback.
"The last general, Gao Shun, was ordered by Lu Zhonglang to bring people and horses to serve Captain Chen." The mighty general said, but his expression was extremely arrogant.
"Gao Shun, he is Gao Shun, a cattle man under Lu Bu, I didn't expect Lu Bu to send him out to me this time." There are many special forces in the Three Kingdoms, such as Ju Yi's first camp, Gongsun Zhan's white horse Yicong, etc., but their names are not as loud as Gao Shun's trapped camp, and the trapped camp is trained by Gao Shun, and the elite soldiers who fight are an important factor in determining the success or failure of the war.
"This person is a military trainer, if there is a chance, he must dig this person from Lu Bu's hands." Chen Xun said secretly in his heart, but his eyes were staring at Gao Shun, as if he was looking at some rare treasure.
Being stared at by Chen Xun for a long time, Gao Shun felt uncomfortable, and he coughed lightly a few times, bringing Chen Xun out of his fantasy.
"General Gao, please be helped." Chen Xun saluted Gao Shun, which made Gao Shun's mind confused.
The current Gao Shun has not yet become famous, although he is highly valued by Lu Bu, but he is only a small captain, and Chen Xun is far superior to him in terms of family background and official position, which can be said to have a bright future, Gao Shun couldn't help but be a little stunned when he saw Chen Xun like this, and the arrogance on his face disappeared in an instant.
"General Gao, General Fengxian often praises your training ability in front of me." Chen Xunhu said, he and Lu Bu haven't seen each other many times in total, how can they discuss the generals under Lu Bu, and judging from Gao Shun's dress, the official position should be just a captain, and Chen Xun called him a general and put a high hat on him.
The so-called soldier died for his confidant, seeing that Chen Xun actually valued him so much, Gao Shun also hurriedly dismounted and bowed: "On this expedition, the last general will definitely serve the captain to the death." ”
"Good, good." Chen Xunlian said three good words, he knew that there was still a long way to go to dig Gao Shun out of Lu Bu's hands, you must know that Chen Xundao is only a lieutenant now, but Lu Bu is the official position of Zhonglang General, several levels older than him, obviously there is a lot more future under Lu Bu than under Chen Xun.
"This cow, I must dig it up, if it doesn't work, I will learn from that Liu Da'er and be a brother with him." Chen Xun said ruthlessly in his heart.
On this expedition, Chen Xun spent the money in his hand to prepare three days of dry food for the army, Dong Zhuo ignored his troops and horses, and the grain and grass were also supplied to Dong Huang's 30,000 soldiers and horses first, so Chen Xun bought three days' dry food out of his own pocket.
After the grain and grass were ready, Chen Xun quietly took his troops and horses out of Luoyang City and rushed to the west.
In Dong Huang's mansion, Dong Huang was angry at this moment, and all the servants around him knelt on the ground and didn't dare to speak.
"Okay, you Li Wenyou, you actually hit the abacus on my head, and I will definitely give you a good look when I inherit my uncle's inheritance in the future." When Dong Huang said this, a subordinate next to him couldn't help but have a flash of eyes, quietly left Dong's mansion, came to a secluded place, and put down a small note wrapped in a bamboo tube.
Half an hour later, Li Mansion, Li Ru opened a small bamboo tube and took out the note inside to watch, and couldn't help but snort.
"Dong Huang, you don't even have this bearing, it seems that I did the right thing." Li Ru's eyes flickered, and the determination in his heart increased.
