The two of them left Jinling City, chose the direction, and went straight to the northwest all the way. After less than two hours, he has left Jiangsu and arrived in Anhui.

Lin Wanrong was not familiar with the terrain, and when he saw Chief Gao hurrying silently, he urged the horse to be parallel to him, and said loudly: "Brother Gao, where are we going?" ”

Chief Gao slowed down his horse and said with a smile: "This way is in a hurry, but I forgot to explain to you, little brother." We are heading in the direction of Chuzhou, where there are several groups of people waiting for us. ”

"Chuzhou?" Lin Wanrong knows that this place is hundreds of miles away from Jinling City, connected to Fengyang Tianchang and other places, it is the eastern gateway of Anhui, facing Jiangsu across the river, and the geographical location is very important.

"What are we going to Chuzhou for? Is Mr. Xu there too? Lin Wanrong frowned.

Chief Gao said: "Lord Xu is not in Chuzhou, the preface is urgent, he has rushed to the area of Pei County, Xuzhou, and only asked me to take Brother Lin to Chuzhou, meet the soldiers and horses there, and then drive all the way to Xuzhou through Suzhou." ”

Lin Wanrong is Xu Wei's staff general, and he was supposed to follow Xu Wei's side, but this old man ran away alone, it seems that there is indeed an emergency military situation on the front line. However, with Lin Wanrong's current psychology and physiology, he is not ready to go directly to the front line, so it is better to go to Chuzhou first to meet the army and familiarize himself with the atmosphere.

Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "That's fine, Brother Gao, how many people are stationed in Chuzhou?" How did Lord Xu arrange it? ”

Gao Zun shook his head and said: "I don't know much about this, I only heard that there are officers and soldiers from Zhejiang, Shandong, and sergeants from the Shenji Battalion." I'm just in charge of the safety of adults, and arranging troops is something that Lord Xu needs to consider, and I can't manage it if I want to. ”

In order to cover people's eyes and ears, Zhejiang's two infantry battalions crossed the border to Shandong via Anhui, and Lin Wanrong knew about it. I heard that there are these three groups of people here, there should be a lot of soldiers there, and it seems to be relatively safe.

"In that case, let us hurry to join the army." Lin Wanrong couldn't wait to say authentically. He had never seen the scene of tens of thousands of soldiers training together. I guess it's going to be a lot of fun.

Chief Gao smiled: "Don't be busy, we'll just arrive today." Mr. Xu has a few more words, let me convey them to Brother Lin. ”

"Old Xu, oh, what did Lord Xu say?" Lin Wanrong said strangely.

"My lord said, please familiarize Brother Lin with the affairs of the army as soon as possible, and fulfill the duties of the staff general as soon as possible."

Of course, this is going to be fast. I'm more anxious than you Old Man Xu, and there are several wives waiting to be comforted at home.

"My lord also said-" Chief Gao said unhurriedly: "The soldiers of Chuzhou are specially reserved for you Brother Lin, and I want to ask you to put them in order and pull them to the front." ”

"Straighten out the army?" Lin Wanrong felt strange in his heart, I am a small staff general, and I have no power or position, and the word general is to promote me, at most I can give you Xu Wei a bad idea, where can I reorganize the army?

He glanced at Chief Gao suspiciously: "Brother Gao, you heard me right, I have neither an official position nor any experience in the army, how could Lord Xu let me go to the army?" ”

Chief Gao shook his head and smiled: "I can hear it clearly, how can I be mistaken, my lord is exactly ordering you to go to Chuzhou to reorganize the army." ”

There are tens of thousands of troops stationed in Chuzhou, but they want me to reorganize the army and fight, isn't this sincerely embarrassing me? Don't worry, I'm not at ease. Seeing him hesitate, Chief Gao smiled and said, "Brother Lin, don't worry, I believe in Mr. Xu's vision, he will never look at the wrong person." You must have what it takes. ”

Even the high chief said so, damn, don't I still believe in myself, isn't it tens of thousands of people, haven't I ever eaten pig's trotters and never seen a pig run? Lao Tzu went to have a good toss and lived the addiction of the whole person - then again, Xu Wei handed over the tens of thousands of buses to me, and this old man was really relieved of me.

He laughed and said, "Okay, then I'll try it." Actually, in my humble opinion, although this whole army is difficult, it is still passable, Brother Gao, do you know what the most difficult thing in the world is? ”

Chief Gao shook his head and asked curiously, "What is it?" ”

Lin Wanrong smiled mysteriously: "If you marry more than a dozen wives, Brother Gao, you will know what the most difficult thing is." ”

Chief Gao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, and said with a thumbs up: "Gao Jian, Brother Lin is really Gao Jian." The two glanced at each other and let out a ** sound that only a man can understand.

This way to Chuzhou, the road is not long or short, there is a high chief guard by his side, but there is nothing to worry about. Lin Wanrong thought all the way, when he arrived in Chuzhou to reorganize the army, what kind of official faction should he make, and what kind of majestic means should he play in order to shock those soldiers and ruffians. Thinking about it and getting excited, playing majestic in front of tens of thousands of people, it must feel very comfortable.

When I arrived in Chuzhou, the sun was already setting, and the ancient city of Chuzhou was bathed in the sunset, peaceful and calm, and I couldn't see the appearance of the army stationed at all.

In Lin Wanrong's imagination, where tens of thousands of troops are stationed, at least the swords and guns must be bright, the beacon fire company camp, the war horses neighing, shouting and killing, just looking at the bustling crowd that has been dispersed, Lin Wanrong can't connect the scene in front of him with the tens of thousands of troops.

"Brother Gao, we're not on the wrong path, are we?" Lin Wanrong said suspiciously.

"What's wrong, I've walked at least four or five times this way." Gao Zun pointed to the two words on the city gate and smiled: "Look, isn't that Chuzhou?" ”

Lin Wanrong looked over and saw that there were two bright red characters written on the city gate - Chuzhou, and there was a line of small characters below - Ouyang Yongshu Zhiming.

"What does Uncle Ouyang Yong do?" Lin Wanrong said strangely.

"This person, I heard Lord Xu mention it once last time, it seems to be from the previous dynasty, what is called Ouyang Xiu, who has been the governor of Chuzhou here. I heard that this guy likes to drink, there is a monk in Langya Mountain to please him, what kind of drunkard pavilion was specially built, and there is a Fengle Pavilion at the foot of Fengshan Mountain in the west of Chuzhou City, I heard that he also built it. Chief Gao shook his head and said, it was rare to show off his knowledge in front of Lin Gongzi, so he was naturally a little proud.

Lin Wanrong nodded, and said Uncle Ouyang Yong, I don't know, don't I understand if I say Ouyang Xiu, these scholars like to fool people with a font size.

"Brother Gao, you said that there is a large army stationed in this city, I look at it, it doesn't look like it." Lin Wanrong and Chief Gao led their horses into the city, looked around and said. This Xingchuzhou city is very old, and the geographical location is very important, although it is not as prosperous as Jinling, but also the shops and restaurants are towering, and the green buildings and Chu halls are lined up, which is very prosperous.

"This, there should be soldiers and horses stationed!" Seeing that there were few soldiers on the street, Chief Gao was also a little uncertain: "Lord Xu obviously said that he invited you to Chuzhou to reorganize the army, why can't you see the shadow of soldiers and horses." ”

The two of them pulled a few passers-by and asked them a few times, but they didn't hear of any large army stationed. What the, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, it can rain when you spit and spit, and a fart is like thunder, can it evaporate? Or maybe that kid Xu Wei is playing tricks on me.

"Brother Gao, didn't Lord Xu tell you who to find here? It's not a way for us to wander around blindly like this. Lin Wanrong said.

"Lord Xu said that when you arrive in Chuzhou, you can naturally see it if you observe more." Chief Gao wiped a cold sweat and said. He has blind trust in Xu Wei, and he will do whatever Master Xu says.

Observe? Observe a fart, this is the prosperous area of Chuzhou City, and I can't see the shadow of a single officer and soldier when I look around, could it be that these officers and soldiers hid in the kiln **? This old man Xu, what kind of dumb riddle is he fighting?

"Get out of the way, get out of the way—" The two men were looking at each other intently, when they suddenly heard a few rough shouts, and two war horses galloped from afar, galloping like arrows, and without stopping for a moment, the pedestrians on the street immediately avoided them as if they had seen ghosts.

Chief Gao was overjoyed, and pulled Lin Wanrong's sleeves and said: "Brother Lin, look, isn't this an officer and soldier?" ”

Lin Wanrong looked at it and saw that the few horses that were galloping over, and the one sitting was indeed a soldier wearing a Dahua military uniform, looking at the arrogant appearance, it should be a soldier under the command of Xu Wei, but I don't know which province it is.

"They are in such a hurry, isn't there any urgent military situation?" Chief Gao said strangely.

"Really?" Lin Wanrong said with a smile: "I saw that they were going to the Lixiang Courtyard over there, did they go to deliver a letter to the sisters in the courtyard?" ”

While he was talking, the war horses really stopped in front of the gate of Lixiang Courtyard, and an old bustard with a thick powder on his face greeted him, opened his mouth and smiled: "General Zhao, General Fu, oops, why did you come, Xiaoyu and they have been waiting for a long time." ”

The officer who walked in front with a dark face touched the bustard's body with a smile and said, "Yes, Xiaoyu's girl didn't taste my strength last night?" whined so early. Or, Mama, come with her tonight, General Ben promises that you want to die and be happy like a fairy. ”

Several soldiers behind the officer got up together, and the old bustard twisted a few times, and then welcomed the group in.

Damn, I'm really right, I'm really here to report to my sisters, but I'm wearing a military uniform, these guys are bold enough. Lin Wanrong smiled bitterly and said to Chief Gao: "Brother Gao, is this one of the tens of thousands of troops we are looking for?" ”

Chief Gao said embarrassedly: "It should be it." Brother Lin, what do you think? ”

Lin Wanrong said with a smile: "Visiting the kiln, it's a beautiful thing, men like it!" Or, Brother Gao, I'll be the east, let's go shopping too. ”
