Volume 2: Division of the Lieutenant Department Chapter 15: My generation can be
When Chen Nuo stood at the head of the west gate of Heyang City, accompanied by the county order of this place, he watched the sunset in the west sky, and he didn't want to fly to the city at this time, and one person reported to Dian Wei that the big thing was not good. Dian Wei asked the man a few words and asked the man to go back first, and he walked quickly to Chen Nuo with a solemn face.
Chen Nuo glanced at the county order, and then looked at Dian Wei's face, knowing that something was wrong. He nodded towards the county order, arched his hand, and then left the county order, and took Dian Wei to the side to talk.
"What happened?"
Chen Nuo knew that Dian Wei was not afraid of heaven and earth, if something had happened, his face would never have been so ugly.
Dian Wei said to Chen Nuo: "My lord, there is news just now, saying that the two generals Zhu Ling and Pan Zhang are fighting in the camp for some reason, if there is a good guy, his subordinates will be stiff again, I am afraid that there will be a mutiny." ”
Dian Wei's words were not alarmist, Chen Nuo nodded.
Chen Nuo knows that Pan Zhang and Zhu Ling have always been short-tempered, and no one obeys anyone, and there are already contradictions between them. The two of them, one in command of the cavalry and the other in command of the infantry, originally did not interfere with each other, but after all, Zhu Ling was the battalion Sima and the main soldier, and Pan Zhang was just a small horse archer, Zhu Ling naturally thought that he had the right to interfere with Pan Zhang's cavalry battalion, and Pan Zhang despised Zhu Ling as an 'outsider', and if he didn't care about it, contradictions were inevitable.
Of course, Zhu Ling's 'outsider' is not a lie, before he joined Chen Nuo's headquarters, he was still serving as Sima in Qinghe State, and he was a general who was transferred at the same level and parachuted. And he entered Chen Nuo's headquarters later than Pan Zhang, and Pan Zhang was brought up by Chen Nuo, so Pan Zhang naturally disobeyed him. Of course, this is only one of them, and the main reason is the temper of the two of them. These two people have the same temper as fire, just one point, and there have been several conflicts, but because of Chen Nuo's mediation, both of them just started but didn't start, I don't know why they suddenly fell out this time.
The discord between the two main battalion generals will definitely have a great impact on the morale of the whole army, and Chen Nuo certainly understands the importance of this. However, if he hurriedly ran back to mediate between the two, even if the two of them were forced by his majesty to reconcile for a while, they would be angry with each other, and it would inevitably cause trouble in the future.
Besides, he can't go to Chang'an with all the 3,000 men and horses, and only a few, and the rest of the men and horses will be handed over to these two people to command. If the time to leave the camp is short, it is easy to say, but the road to Chang'an is dangerous, and I don't know what will happen in the future, it will be more than a month, more than a few months, or even years.
It's good now, since the contradiction broke out in advance, then we have to find a way to deal with it.
Originally, before he decided to go west to Chang'an, he had already had some calculations in his heart. He was going to let Dian Wei accompany him to Chang'an, and then let Zhao Xue be the Sima who stayed in the camp and led the whole camp. If Pan Zhang and Zhu Ling, the two of them are as smart as Zhao Xue under the leadership, and they will definitely not make any big trouble. But now that Zhao Xue is not here, he can only do something else.
Chen Nuo glanced at Dian Wei, and immediately had a plan in his heart. A tower-like body like Dian Wei, combined with the horizontal flesh on his face, can indeed give people a sense of fear. And in this chaotic era, Confucian warriors like Dian Wei are the ones that heroes cherish, and they can only convince people with their strength.
If you want to say that Zhu Ling and Pan Zhang are short-tempered, it is true, but the reason why they are not convinced is because the two have not really been able to fight, and they are not distinguished, and it is inevitable that they will despise each other. Of course, it is not that one side wins the other side, and the other side is determined to subdue this side, and maybe it will become a feud because of this. But this is not in Dian Wei.
For example, Dian Wei has competed with Pan Zhang and Zhu Ling, and they were not angry when they first met, but after a fight, Zhu Ling and Pan Zhang attached great importance to Dian Wei, and had a good relationship with Dian Wei in private, as if they did not know each other.
Chen Nuo nodded quietly, it seems that it is inconvenient for him to come forward in person in this matter, and this matter has to be handed over to Dian Wei to deal with.
To talk about the fact that discord among the generals in the battalion may provoke a mutiny, it is not alarmist. The cavalry battalion led by Pan Zhang, although it was not his headquarters, brought a lot of fellow villagers when he defected to Chen Nuo, and it could be regarded as a family of Dongjun; And Zhu Ling, although he is Sima, he can't effectively control the battalion, but fortunately, when he joined Chen Nuo's camp, he also brought a group of people, which can be regarded as the Qinghe family. There are already regional differences between the two families, and differences are inevitable, if it weren't for Chen Nuo's deterrence in the middle, I am afraid that they would not be able to fight side by side like today. And now, seeing that the leaders of the two factions have fallen out, the faction standing behind them is naturally impossible to stand idly by, and it is also possible to provoke a mutiny.
And Chen Nuo, who was determined to deal with this matter with Dian Wei, of course had something to consider.
Dian Wei Mujin's public identity is a foot archer, but there is also a hidden identity, that is, the commander of the assassination battalion. In addition to Chen Nuoer's identity, Pan Zhang and Zhu Ling, as generals in command, naturally also know about it. Although the assassination battalion is small in numbers, it is responsible for prosecuting the violations of the law by the generals under the battalion, and has the right to deal with disputes between the generals. And since he is not easy to come forward, then please come out of Dian Wei, which is the most suitable person at the moment.
Chen Nuo explained a few words to Dian Wei like this, and Dian Wei's eyes lit up in vain after hearing this, and he nodded and said goodbye to Chen Nuo.
The county magistrate standing in the distance, although he didn't hear what they were talking about, he still had the ability to observe words and colors. At first, the person named Dian Wei came with a solemn face, and it was clear that something big had happened, but as soon as Chen Nuo said a few words, he left in high spirits, judging the two of them. The county magistrate couldn't understand what Chen Nuo told him, and how to make seemingly complicated things simple.
The county commander sighed in his heart, this Chen Nuo is really not simple.
"I don't know what difficulties General Chen has, or if there is any place for the subordinate to help, if it is convenient, General Chen will do his best to help him."
Facing the oncoming Chen Nuo, the county magistrate immediately took two steps forward and bowed his hand to him.
When Chen Nuo heard this, he immediately shook his head, thanked him, and said, "It's not a big deal, there is no need to alarm the county lord, but this sunset ......"
Chen Nuo raised his head again, only to see that the sunset in the western sky had gone down a few inches, and it was getting closer and closer to the mountains in the distance, and he was afraid that it would not be long before he had to hide on the top of the mountains.
The county magistrate looked at Chen Nuo, and saw that Chen Nuo was watching the sunset with affection, and his heart couldn't help but move. He overheard Chen Nuo's recitation just now, 'The sunset is infinitely good, but it's just near dusk', which also touched the feelings of the old man at once. Thinking to himself, although he is the respect of a county at the moment, and he is also quite reused by Zhang Yang, he is rarely happy, and he always feels that there is something unsatisfactory. Let's put it this way, sometimes he feels that he and Zhang Yang are not all the way, and even after seeing through Zhang Yang's weakness and incompetence in behavior, he also knows deeply that Zhang Yang is by no means a person who can be trusted. In today's troubled times, if you follow the wrong person and stand on the wrong shift, it is not just a matter of the future, but whether your life can be saved.
The county order triggered his worries about the future from Chen Nuo's unintentional words in his heart, Chen Nuo naturally didn't know, but when he looked at the sunset, he also suddenly realized that at his age, although he was a human being in two lives, the combined age was enough for his thirties and forties, but his body at the moment was only less than twenty years old. That's not good, it's not exactly for people of your age!
At his age, everything he thinks should be positive and promising, but he must not be entangled by the 'downturn' mood!
"The sunset is infinitely good, and my generation can still do it!"
Chen Nuo erased the slightly desolate 'just near dusk' in the latter sentence, changed his face, and opened his mouth to come out, which was very smooth. Haha, self-encouragement.
Obviously, Chen Nuo's 'sunset' is very inconsistent with Chen Nuo's age at the moment, but in the county order, he did not pursue this point. Poetry emphasizes artistic conception, even if it is slightly detached from reality. Although the changed sentence is inferior to the previous sentence of 'just near dusk', when the county order hears it, it can't help but move his sentence 'sunset' to himself, and he feels a lot of natural feelings.
At the age of fifty, of course, he can be described as a 'sunset', if he is an ordinary person, he will accept his fate, but he is unwilling. is not willing to make a small county order on this, and is not willing to obey the arrangement of fate. But every time he dreamed back at midnight, he was sad for his old bones. Day by day, year by year, he shouted in his heart, unwilling to just become a beautiful 'sunset' in the mouths of everyone, he still has to 'do something'!
The county commander's body was shocked, and he suddenly looked up at Chen Nuo.
Although Chen Nuo's famous sentence after changing it can indeed lift his heart, if he knows that Lao Cao's sentence decades later, 'Lao Ji is in the bush, and his ambition is thousands of miles', I am afraid that he will be so excited that he will hold Ah Gou's hand, and it is not impossible for him to burst into tears.
The county commander retracted his wild thoughts, straightened his body, and bowed his hand to Chen Nuo: "The lower officials are not presumptuous, there is a question I want to ask General Chen, I wonder if General Chen can refer to the lower officials?" The lower officials should be grateful! ”
Since Chen Nuo planned Hanoi as a 'chess piece' and had the intention of befriending Zhang Yang, of course he couldn't let go of his subordinates. Besides, although Zhang Yang takes Yewang City as the county rule, if you talk about the geographical location, Heyang City is close to the bank of the Yellow River, there are foot riders in the city, there are ports outside the city, and you can build ships and float in the river and sea, and the location is very superior. Its location is comparable to that of Le Duong to Ye Thanh, which is the gateway city of Hanoi, which shows its importance. If Chen Nuo can make friends with the county magistrate here, it can be said that it will be beneficial to the future plan.
When he heard the county order say this, he immediately straightened up and asked him to speak.
