Chen Xianda shook his head. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info he is older in the army, and he is more vicious than the young officers. "Even if he escapes, where do you think he can escape?" Qianhu Guan frowned and said sharply: "Now the situation in the southwest is tense, and the war is about to break out, the foundation of his town and east of Sichuan is here. Look at it, I can't say, if you don't look for him, this person will jump in front of him by himself! ”

Since Chen Xianda opened his mouth, everyone was convinced. Li Yongzhong talked for half an hour, his mouth was already dry, he picked up the tea bowl on the small pestle in front of him and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and said squarely: "Qianhu is right. Besides, Zhenchuan Dong, although we don't know much, but he is just a small character who is not worth mentioning, and now An Bangyan and extravagant Chongming are entering Chishui, who is still impatient to entangle with him! ”

The officers' attention really shifted to the matter. Zhou Qian listened to it for a long time, his heart was already like an ant crawling, his throat was itchy, and he finally seized the opportunity, and immediately said in a loud voice: "Then what Zhenchuandong, there are some bandits under him, so he thinks he is sorry, wait for the army to exterminate the barbarians, and then go to find his bad luck!" But what is the decision now? Is there anything from above? ”

Chen Xianda glared at him, but seeing that everyone was eager to try, he swallowed back the scolding that came to his mouth, only shook his head, raised his eyebrows and shouted: "The matter of military strategy, Shangguan Zilai knows it in his heart!" What the are you guys talking about!? With this thought, it is better to go back and prepare, and the soldiers should also hurry up and practice! If you go to the top of the battle formation but pull the belt, this officer can spare you, and the military law must not be merciful! ”

After tidying up the officers who were originally hot-blooded, and telling a few officers whose eyes were about to reach the top of their heads to calm down, Chen Xianda asked the officers to leave first, leaving Li Yongzhong: "Team Officer Li, you stand for a while, this officer still has some things to discuss with you, if there is something in your team, just explain it first." ”

Li Yongzhong was stunned, and immediately replied yes, and called Cao Jinliang - in fact, he didn't need to ask about the chores of Team D now, but it was just a routine - and said a few words, which was also to let the soldiers rest well, and when the officers were left from the tent, he sat down on the horse in front of Chen Xianda, reached out and lifted the kettle from the fire pit, and silently refilled Chen Xianda's tea bowl.

Milky white heat rose up, separating the two silent men at opposite ends. Chen Xianda coughed dryly, finally breaking the silence, he looked at Li Yongzhong, the serious look he had deliberately made before finally eased a lot, hesitated for a moment, and still spoke: "Zhong Guan'er, go out for a trip, are you not injured?" ”

"Brother Mingjiang protects me tightly, how can my son-in-law be injured?" Hearing Chen Xianda call Zhong Guan'er, Li Yongzhong also followed his meaning, and did not call the official position again when he spoke: "He is also heroic in this battle, just a few, there are five heads, and the command is also very effective." He noticed a layer of inconspicuous smile floating in Chen Xianda's eyes, coughed lowly, and said in a slow voice: "The son-in-law originally thought that Team Ding had strict rules, and Brother Mingjiang was afraid that he would not be adaptable, but seeing him like this now, I am afraid that he is still more willing to go down and lead the troops." ”

"Mingjiang, this kid has been following the old man's personal soldiers since he was a teenager, and the days of licking blood with the knife have been too long, and I don't know how to relax." Chen Xianda sighed, there was a hint of anger between his eyebrows, but when he talked about Chen Mingjiang, he was more proud: "The personality is also upright, several officers heard that he was going to lead the troops, and they ran to ask for him, but I was worried about his unpleasant nature, and I never let go, fortunately, there was you later, otherwise Mingjiang would have to be delayed." ”

After saying three or two sentences, Chen Xianda fell silent, reached out and picked up the tea bowl and poured the residual tea into the fire, and the sound of "bang" stirred up a burst of white mist. The weather in August, although the weather in Guizhou is cool, but it is too early to light the fire pond at this time.

But obviously the fire pond was set up for Chen Xianda, he rubbed his knees, and finally sighed for a while, and sighed in a low voice: "Three or five years ago, I wore caftan brown and sweated so hot that I had to call my soldiers to fan at night, and I was greedy for food; But now, as you can see, before September, I am very cold, and it is still under the sun, and when I enter the house, the cracks in the bones are like pins and needles! Chen Xianda sighed heavily, and his sadness in the middle could not be counted: "I have worked in the army all my life, but I still can't beat old age!" ”

Li Yongzhong could only be silent. Chen Xianda's age can only be called the prime of life after a few hundred years, but at the end of the Ming Dynasty, he was close to his twilight years. He opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything comforting—Li Yongzhong was sure that Chen Xianda didn't want to hear this, especially from his mouth.

Without waiting for him to think of what to say, Chen Xianda smiled self-deprecatingly and said open-mindedly: "Forget it, who has not died in life since ancient times, in my life, even though there are many unsatisfactory things, but God treats me well, what is there to complain about?" It's really old, but it's also becoming noisy, and it's not annoying. He looked at Li Yongzhong and said with a smile: "It's hard for Zhongguan'er to listen to me say this." ”

"My father-in-law is not very old." Li Yongzhong said sincerely: "Now it's just a pain and suffering, and I'm just depressed for a while." When the cold weather turns to the spring next year, presumably the southwest will be stable, and then the father-in-law will be able to live and recuperate. ”

"You say that very cheerfully." Chen Xianda said leisurely: "However, my own family affairs, my own family knows." I won't talk about this now, but what I want to tell you is not unrelated to these - Zhong Guan'er, after you left some time ago, the old man thought for a while, went to find Liu Xinwu's commander, and handed over the errand of the Xianzi battalion. ”

Unexpectedly, Chen Xianda suddenly said this, Li Yongzhong raised his head in surprise, looked straight at Chen Xianda, and cautiously opened his mouth to persuade: "Why did my father-in-law suddenly come up with this idea?" Maybe it's a relationship that is easy to fall in the midst of illness? The son-in-law thinks it's better to think again. After all, my father-in-law is not yet at the age of knowing the destiny of heaven! ”

Chen Xianda shook his head, his face was calm at this time, obviously it was not a momentary idea, I am afraid that it was not just a few days ago, but a long time ago. "The old man has fought all his life, even though he has killed the enemy, but after all, he has killed countless evils. When you are old, you are easy to be eccentric and stubborn, and you are all terrible in the battle array. He said calmly to Li Yongzhong: "Those who know how to advance and retreat will be blessed." Yes, the old man was indeed hesitant before, but after being sick for a while, he woke up - the illness is not forgiving, if he makes a mistake during the war, what is the matter!? It's better to take advantage of the present time and be decent! ”

He waved his hand, stopped Li Yongzhong, looked at him lovingly and continued: "You are young, you don't know the number of roads in this army-" Chen Xianda didn't know what to think of, squinted his eyes and snorted coldly, and said: "If the old man retreats now, the matter of the Xianzi camp can be said from home behind closed doors, but if it suddenly occurs, it can only be handled by the officials at that time!" At that time, the little things that the old man has worked hard to save all his life will be cheapened by others! ”

Li Yongzhong's heart jumped.

"This time you are temporarily serving as a battalion officer, which is both a test and an emergency, but Zhongguan'er, your reaction has made the old man deeply satisfied." Xu is about to get to the point, Chen Xianda's face is a lot more serious: "Although you are not from the military household, but you are a natural martial artist seed, these years, those who can be officials and generals, how can you not succeed?" The Qianhu official said: "People, the first thing that matters is to keep your duty!" There are those who think they are different, but they don't know the truth of the wrath of the people! ”

He didn't wait for Li Yongzhong to think deeply, and then said: "This time, you went to fight in Baisa and returned victorious, this is a real military achievement!" It is also a ladder for promotion, don't climb it! The old man and the commander passed the qi before, and now you have made a new meritorious service, which is counted together with the previous military exploits of Ah Luomi, and the credit is not small! ”

"Tomorrow, you and the old man will go to see Liu Xinwu and settle this matter." Chen Xianda stared at Li Yongzhong tightly, and said forcefully and refusably: "The Xianzi camp was pulled out by the old man with one hand and one foot, and the old brothers are all children of the Liao people, which are different from the Sichuan people, and our name is not very good," - Chen Xianda still has a full understanding of his "good reputation" - "The matter of the Xianzi camp is still said by the people in our camp!" ”

Chen Xianda accentuated his tone: "Zhong Guan'er, you don't have any worries!" Now that you have entered this killing field, you have to fight up! Otherwise, you will end up dead without a corpse! The old man handed over the Xianzi camp to you, and from now on, you are not only its backer, but also your dependence! You have to remember that one is good and one is bad! ”

When he returned from the battalion, Li Yongzhong did not have a smile on his face. Qin Yong, a personal soldier who dared to laugh with him on weekdays, looked at his face, and didn't even dare to raise his voice, for fear of provoking Li Yongzhong's displeasure. He put his supper on a small pestle in the tent and withdrew lightly. When I was about to get to the tent door, I suddenly heard Li Yongzhong ask inside: "Where is Cao Jinliang?" ”

"In the past, my subordinates watched Adjutant Cao eat with Officer Liu, but now I see that the hour is a night class, and most of them go to teach the elders." Qin Yong saw that Li Yongzhong's face was acceptable, and plucked up the courage to ask tentatively: "The team officer is too busy, maybe he forgot to let Adjutant Cao go to class, or did you personally order it." ”

That's the thing. Li Yongzhong was silent in his heart. He suddenly became interested, ate dinner in a few bites, grabbed the lunch box and walked out of the tent - the D team stipulated that regardless of the officers and soldiers, his own lunch box was responsible for cleaning it - he went outside to take a gourd and flush it, he didn't have to worry about whether it was clean or not, no matter whether the porridge cake was a trace of oil stars, and the lunch box was washed with cold water, and he couldn't even tell whether he had used the meal.

"Let's go, let's go see Adjutant Cao's class." Li Yongzhong said with a smile, put the lunch box and turned around and walked out of the tent, Qin Yong hurriedly followed, afraid that Li Yongzhong would not know the place, and specially reminded: "Tonight's night class is the turn of Sentry B, and it should be in Sentry Chen's tent now." ”

Tens of thousands of troops are crowded in Chishui City, and they have to set aside places such as school readings, passages, etc., you can imagine how small the territory is assigned to everyone's head, originally a tithe, to Chishui, you have to squeeze two together, usually the relationship is good, but it is good to say, the relationship with each other is bad, these days the chickens and dogs can be imagined.

However, in Team D, this kind of thing has not happened, or rather, there is no soil for such an incident to happen here. After receiving the order to close the tent, several Shi lived together in order, and worked together to make the original tent bigger - their tent was different from the ordinary Ming army, each piece of tarpaulin was made a round hole, and the edge was locked with a strong leather rope, as long as the edges of the two tarpaulins were stacked on top of each other, and then tied tightly with rope perforations, it could become a tent twice as large as the original, but it did not occupy too much space.

Therefore, it was only a few chiefs plus a sentry and an adjutant, and the tent was more than enough to accommodate it.

The system of night classes naturally comes from the former Li family guards. Someone who has gone through a complete basic education after hundreds of years takes it for granted that being able to read and write is a matter of course—forgive a person who has rapidly degenerated from knowing astronomy and geography since graduating from high school to even mental arithmetic two-digit addition and subtraction—Li Yongzhong is completely unaware that in the long history of the world, reading and writing is not only a privilege of a few, but also a privilege monopolized by a few, and he must be grateful that he returned to Europe hundreds of years ago at the end of the Ming Dynasty and not at the same time - a certain king collected five books, He is also considered to be the person with the largest collection of books.

As a result, the first group of people who became the Li family's guards lived a dreamlike life in disbelief for a long time - eating and drinking, living and wearing, and finally the owner actually taught them to read and write! But he couldn't be poor, so he simply wanted to sell his life cheaply, but he didn't think about it but fell into a blessed nest! As for the training, one of them asked Li Yongzhong, who was still too young and naïve, in a surprised tone: "Where is this bitter!?" If you can eat with an open stomach, it will not be bitter in any way! So much so that when it came time to recruit a second group of guards, these people were very frightened for a long time - lest the owner would not be satisfied with their performance, so they had to recruit someone to replace them.

After a long time, when these poor men who thought that they had built bridges and paved roads in their previous lives and accumulated countless virtues to meet such a good owner were successful one by one, they remembered all the things back then, and the deepest impression was not that Li Yongzhong, who was used as a teaching material demonstration, could only barely describe the big characters of the dog, nor was he punished for running laps because he couldn't write the Chinese characters taught the day before, but a delicacy that only the top people were eligible to enjoy after each small test-

Salt worker beef.

These former poor men, who were already at the top of the courtiers, sighed: "There is no meat that can have the aroma of beef at that time." (To be continued.) )
