Chapter VIII
Los Angeles is 350 miles away from Deyang, Chen Lin does not pass through Guanghan City, only hits the border between Guanghan and Chengdu, and is expected to arrive in seven or eight days. Although the terrain of Shuzhong is infinite and there are many waterways, it is more convenient for scouts from all sides to come and go, and at the same time, it is also convenient for the army to hide. Chen Lin's army walked for a day, Chen Lin and Jia Xu, Chen Lin: "Wenhe, there are nearly 300,000 people in the south of Guanghan, and now Jia Qiande is recruiting troops and horses in Guanghan City, and there are already 8,000 people. ”
Jia Xu: "Jia Qiande is also a last resort, he does not believe in our army, but also has to defend Chengdu, Guanghan does not have such a terrain as Los Angeles, our army only needs to hold Los Angeles, but Jia Qiande has to divide troops to guard the cities in case of our army, Chengdu, Zhang Gongqi, it is difficult for him." "In the entire southern part of Guanghan County, except for Deyang, which is occupied by Zhang Lu, Jia Long is distributed in several counties, and it is connected to Chen Lin in the west, Chengdu Liu Yan in the south, and Zhang Lu's Brazil in the east. Therefore, after Zhang Ren sent troops to Deyang, Jia Long hurriedly sent a messenger to Chen Lin, Jia Long could not let Liu Yan destroy Zhang Lu, otherwise Liu Yan could attack Jia Long from the east and south at the same time, which was the last thing Jia Long wanted to see. He would rather leave a Zhang Lu who disobeyed Liu Yan in Deyang, so Jia Long sent troops to Deyang, but he was sincere, of course, it was best to take Deyang in the end, kill Zhang Lu, and occupy Brazil. But this is all improvised, the most important thing is not to let Liu Yan get Deyang, the rest is easy to say. This time, Jia Long brought 5,000 soldiers and horses, leaving only 3,000 to guard the direction of Chengdu, and even Chen Lin Jia Long was willing to believe it.
"Report to the lord, 5,000 soldiers and horses in the direction of Chengdu are heading to the east, and they are waving yellow flags." A scout report interrupted Chen Lin and Jia Xu's conversation, Chen Lin hurriedly spread out the map, no, Zhang Ren had already left Chengdu, it was impossible to be so slow, suddenly Chen Lin exclaimed: "Zhou Mu has added troops" Liu Yan once again added troops to Deyang, then plus Zhang Ren who went out before, that is, Liu Yan put 10,000 troops in Deyang, maybe he also knows the movements of Jia Long and himself. Chen Lin hurriedly asked, "Is there cavalry?" "What Chen Lin was most afraid of still happened, five thousand Qingqiang cavalry dispatched two thousand.
Chen Lin hurriedly said: "Wenhe, where is Zhou Shubu's army now?" What about Qin Ziyi's army? Jia Xu: "My lord, Jiangzhou is also more than 300 miles from Deyang, and Zhou Shubu's department has already gone north, but Qin Ziyi is said to have been attacked in the direction of Qianwei and will not appear in Deyang." ”
Anyway, the army has already left Los Angeles, Chen Lin can only move forward, but he is walking more carefully, who makes Chen Lin have no cavalry that can fight against Qingqiang now. If he fought in a formation, Chen Lin was not afraid of cavalry, but he was afraid of the sneak attack of the cavalry, and the chaotic foot soldiers at that time could only be a unilateral slaughter by the cavalry. Chen Lin secretly returned a letter to Gao Shun's hands, and no one knew.
Chen Zhi is now a man in his twenties, he has a wife and children in Hanzhong Mansion, and now he is the chief general of the first army in Hanzhong. Chen Zhi's subordinates had 1,500 soldiers and horses, all of them pikemen, two people's high spears, shining, Chen Zhi looked at the army in front of him that had condensed his countless efforts, and was quite satisfied. Hanzhong fell into the camp, wolf cavalry, and Chen Zhi's spear army, when he met Huang Zhong for the first time and returned to Hanzhong, Huang Zhong was the Pu Dao army, and he also laughed at Chen Dao, saying that Chen Zhi's pikemen army was not conducive to close combat, and could only deal with cavalry. Later, the two practiced, after that, Huang Zhong never laughed at Chen Dao, Chen to the spear army alone is indeed not conducive to hand-to-hand combat, every time Huang Zhong was about to rush to the first row of Chen Zhi's army, the sergeants of the second and third rows of the spear formation carried their guns behind the first row, and coldly attacked Huang Zhongjun, who only focused on the first row of pikemen. Two very simple actions, lifting the spear and stabbing the gun, collecting the gun, are these two actions, but Chen Zhi's big array is like an iron spike just ball, crushing in, and everything that is blocked on the way will be pierced into a sieve.
Chen Zhi smiled at his army, and suddenly Chen Zhi felt someone approaching behind him, and when he looked back, it was Chen Lin, "Big brother." "The relationship between Chen Zhi and Chen Lin has always been harmonious, which is also what Chen Lin is proud of more than once. Looking at the mature and steady brother in front of him, Chen Lin was in a good mood and said, "Uncle to the spearman, he has the demeanor of being trapped in the camp." Chen Zhi smiled. Chen Lin then said solemnly: "Uncle Zhi, this time I have no cavalry in Hanzhong, but the state pastor has sent 5,000 Qingqiang iron cavalry, if you encounter cavalry, you will let Shu Zhi break off and cover the army." Chen nodded: "Don't worry, eldest brother, as long as there is an uncle, don't let the eldest brother be hurt in the slightest." ”
The advancing army walked past Chen to Chen Lin, and when they entered Chen Lin, everyone shouted with a smile: "The lord" respects him from the inside out. Seeing this, Chen Zhi said: "The eldest brother is deeply supported by the sergeant, and the uncle is not as good." Chen Lin smiled: "Do you know why? Chen Lin had the heart to educate his brother, and then said: "As a general, you must be brave and brave, and you must be the first in battle, which can inspire the heart of the army, is the soul of an army, and can be a fierce general who charges into battle." And loving the soldiers, never abandoning them, and sticking to the beliefs in the army, can be sincerely supported by the sergeants, which is a matter outside the war, but it is very important, and even determines the success or failure in the battle. Imagine, if the general is a fierce general, but he doesn't know how to sympathize with the soldiers, how can he be rescued by the sergeant in wartime, the battlefield is full of dangers, you are invincible, and you may be assassinated on the field by a nobody. Shu Zhi remembered that the so-called famous generals are the glory of countless soldiers who have achieved the glory of famous generals with their blood, and there are no generals without soldiers. ”
Chen Zhi remembered and understood why after every battle, Chen Lin would always hold a large bundle of bamboo slips, which were full of the names of the fallen soldiers, and send bereavement to the families of these dead people one by one. When these living sergeants saw that the general treated the families of the dead sergeants so kindly, they always felt that they had no worries and could always sacrifice their lives in wartime. The treatment of the sergeants in Hanzhong is extremely high, so Chen Lin rarely recruits troops indiscriminately, and now each general's subordinates are 1,500 people, or Chen Lin only agreed after seeing the Luoyang chaos and the world's heroes rose together, otherwise everyone is only leading 1,200 people now.
Chen Lin walked back for less than a while, and met Cai Yang in the rear of the army, Cai Yang's deputy general Wu Ban was asked to leave by Jia Xu, Cai Yang didn't know where Wu Ban went, but Chen Lin's order Cai Yang had to let Wu Ban go, and now the army only saw Jia Xu but not Wu Ban, it seems that Wu Ban must have carried out some task. Cai Yang took refuge in Chen Lin many years ago, which is one of the earliest ones. Chen Lin is also very important to Cai Yang and has become the head of the first army, but few people in the world know Cai Yang, especially after Dong came back this time, the backward Huang Zhong is famous all over the world, which makes the arrogant Cai Yang unhappy in his heart. Of course, it was not that he was dissatisfied with Chen Lin, but this time he entered Shu, and Cai Yang was determined to make a name for himself in Shu and make a great contribution. Cai Yang's martial arts are superb, but his ability to lead troops is not outstanding, but the most charging general is enough.
Seeing Chen Lin, Cai Yang hurriedly asked, "Meet the lord." Chen Lin couldn't help but smile when he saw that it was Cai Yang, when Cai Yang was guarding Hanzhong, he cooperated with Chen Zhi and Yan Pu to take the lead in subduing the turbulent scholars, and he was also indispensable, and he was named a lieutenant by Chen Lin like everyone else, which is the title of general. After Huang Zhong joined Hanzhong, because Huang Zhong fought with Lu Bu in the battle against Dong, Huang Zhong became famous, and Cai Yang was not convinced and went to Huang Zhong to fight. Chen Lin vaguely remembered that it was noon that day, and Chen Lin was working in the government office, when suddenly the guards came to report that Cai Yang, who had come to Nanzheng to report on his work, had broken into Huang Zhong's military camp. Chen Lin was shocked and hurried to Huang Zhong's camp, at this time Huang Zhong and Zhang Ba had just returned from Luoyang and were being ordered to recruit new troops into the army.
Chen Lin quickly came to Huang Zhong's camp and took a look, Mom, the entire military camp was crowded, not only Huang Zhong's headquarters, but also Zhang Ba and others' subordinates ran over, forming a circle, and in the middle were Cai Yang and Huang Zhong, both of whom were playing with a big knife on the ground, and the strong and powerful ping-pong sound collided with each other. Not only the soldiers, but even Zhang Ba and others were watching from the side, pointing and pointing from time to time. Cai Yang is the first martial artist in Chen Lin's army, except for Zhou Cang, a foot combat monster, Cai Yang is the most brave person in Han, but at this time it is said that he has fought with Huang Zhong for more than 200 rounds, and neither of them has the slightest sign of victory or defeat. When Chen Lin saw it, he saw that the two of them were fine, and the surrounding environment seemed to be very harmonious, even Huang Zhong's subordinates were fascinated and shouted. Chen Lin knew that this Cai Yang was only afraid that he was here to compete with Huang Zhong, not to make trouble, otherwise Huang Zhong's subordinates would not have this expression, Chen Lin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, scared to death, and thought that Cai Yang and Huang Zhong had some old grudges, and this was going to be resolved.
Seeing Cai Yang approaching, Chen Lin retracted his memories and smiled: "Zilan has worked hard. Cai Yang patted his chest: "The lord and rest assured, a certain and uncle will definitely not disappoint the lord." Chen Linyi grabbed Cai Yang's hands and said: "It's okay, victory or defeat is important, but I hope that you can be safe, Zilan is my Hanzhong general, and it is indispensable." ”
Cai Yang was moved in his heart, Chen Lin has always cared so much about his subordinates, once Cai Yang accidentally found that Chen Lin was bandaging the wounds of a wounded soldier, which made the sergeant so moved that he couldn't cry. They are all hard-working children, they don't want to be soldiers but can meet the commander who loves them so much, these men, it's worth dying, and now that man is in the army.
The scouts kept sending back the latest information, several times a day, several places, Chen Lin watched the movements of these returned armies, Chen Lin kept muttering, no, no. But few people can enter Chen Lin's big tent and get all the information, and no one knows why Chen Lin is like this. What is wrong, no one knows, and Chen Lin himself can't figure it out.
