Chapter 237: Autumn Soldiers on the Battlefield
Xu Chen and Ge Shuhan did not have any reservations in this conversation, the situation he analyzed was undoubtedly the same as Ge Shuhan thought, the two discussed for a while, Ge Shuhan corrected Xu Chen's slight error of consciousness, and the conversation was over.
For example, Xu Chen said, "The plan is calculated, leading the troops deep into the hinterland, and planning it in one fell swoop." "It can be too weak, after all, the grassland is the foundation of the Turks, and the 20,000 elites of the Turks are not vegetarians, once they pretend to be fooled, it is really difficult to control, and they may also fall into the arms of the enemy.
However, Ge Shuhan re-examined this donkey, and finally affirmed the purpose of the donkey's scolding Ge Shudeying, and the doubts in his heart gradually dissipated due to the admiration of this donkey, since it was not to find trouble with his brother Shuhan, but an idea came out of his heart, this colt is so powerful, he has never been afraid of offending Yang Guozhong, if he has the opportunity to make friends, he will definitely not let go.
After Xu Chen went out of the study, he was in a good mood, this conversation lasted nearly two hours, it can be seen that Ge Shuhan did not hold a grudge against himself because of the morning incident, most of the conversation between the two was military, Xu Chen naturally asked for a lot of advice, and benefited a lot.
In fact, Xu Chen naturally wanted to rely on his own strength to conquer the Turks, instead of having the protection of Ge Shuhan, just to mix up a military exploit, so that he could exercise himself and prepare for the subsequent big war, and more importantly, prove himself, do it for the whole world to see, and make a convincing foreshadowing for the future power.
However, Xu Chen is worried that his ability is not enough, after all, he has no experience in this area, after all, talking on paper is divorced from reality, actual combat is the last word, if he makes himself brave for a while, ignores the safety of the soldiers, or leads to a fiasco, it is a great sin. But if the eldest husband is so timid, it is really difficult to achieve great things, and this is where Xu Chen is entangled.
Of course, Xu Chen will not forget Tian Rong's hint, and Yang Guozhong actually watched himself come to mix the military and was indifferent is very telling in itself, of course, this expedition is not as simple as he thinks on the surface, if Yang Guozhong does not take into account Ge Shuhan this time to kill his big horse, it is obviously unrealistic, and the Yang family's secret forces are coming towards the goal of Ge Shuhan, although this speculation is suspected of chasing the wind and shadows, but Xu Chen is still cautious.
The crusade against the Turks was set to be three days later, the whole army attacked, and the 60,000 troops had just been transferred from other places, and the integration of three days was also abundant, and in the afternoon, Xu Chen went to the tent of the Praetorian Guard and comforted the soldiers.
The military camp of the Praetorian Guard was set up alone next to the Great Dou Army, and most of these royal guards from the capital had a sense of superiority, but after only staying for a day, they also noticed that the discipline of the sergeants in this town was strict, and even too much, so they immediately restrained some of their domineering, and this morning I heard that Xu Juma beat Ge Shuhan's nephew to the **, and immediately took pride in this horse, and unconsciously felt that this horse greatly increased the morale of the guards.
On the way here, the three thousand guards also have a good impression of this horse, this horse is so powerful, and he is the commander of the march, but he has never had a fight, and he even eats and lives with the sergeants, and even sometimes gets together to talk and laugh, and has a great image of being close to the people, but this morning's military parade, there is such a big movement, and the image of the stern army has long been transmitted to the major military camps around Liangzhou, and the officers and men of the Longwu Army have a deep understanding.
After Xu Chen and Fang Yi came to the barracks of the Longwu Army, it was already dusk, but the camp of the Dadou Army next to them was deafening with shouts of killing, and they were practicing in **, these three thousand Longwu Army were elite in Beijing, but they were not so hard-working, they came here for a day, and the surrounding major military camps were all ** practice, and the Longwu Army couldn't sit still, but the general and Xu Yuma did not come and go to the army, and the Praetorian Guard sergeants could only wait in the camp.
As soon as Xu Chen arrived at the camp, he asked Fang Yi to gather the whole army, so that he could feel the inner contrast of the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard, which was to give a speech to boost morale.
Fang Yi has long been familiar with this horse, and the horse is the commander of the march, so he will naturally obey orders at any time, if he summons the whole army in peace, it will be inevitable that the ink time, but when the soldiers of the Longwu Army heard that the horse is coming, they have long been looking forward to it, where can they sit still, and with an order, it only takes half a pillar of incense to gather the whole army.
Xu Chen and Fang Yi exchanged a look, and walked to the center of the school field.
"On this expedition, Hexi sent 60,000 troops, and you must have seen that the soldiers in the border towns are strictly disciplined, all of them are good men, and they practice hard, not inferior to my guards, or even worse, and my guards are pampered and pampered, and they have not participated in the war for many years, but in fact, they can't say the same."
Xu Chen said bluntly, Fang Yi was very awkward when he heard this, the three thousand sergeants were half cold when they heard it, and they had already realized this in their hearts, just by the ** training military discipline before the expedition, it was enough to see that the sergeants in this town should not be underestimated, because of the identity of the royal guards, they must not be admitted, and now they are uncomfortable when Xu Juma says it in front of the three thousand sergeants.
It is also true that this time the emperor Lao'er only sent 3,000 guards, and Hexi sent 60,000 troops, even if they won the victory, the guards were not glorious, and the previous sergeants just held a fluke in their hearts, and believed that the three thousand guards would definitely become the main vanguard, but after staying in Liangzhou for a whole day, the confidence was directly gone, and the logistics were competent.
Xu Chen paused, glanced at everyone, and continued: "That is the case, we should not be slack, the Turks are good at cavalry, and my Long Wuwei is also good at cavalry, the opportunity to make a name for himself on the battlefield is tens of millions, even with 3,000 troops, we must show the momentum of 100,000 forbidden troops, don't let the soldiers of Hexi underestimate the power of my forbidden army!"
There are still three days before the expedition, and the general hopes that the soldiers will step up their training, and then gallop on the battlefield to defend the wind of the forbidden army, you must know that you are not representing the Longwu Army, but the 100,000 forbidden army of my Datang! ”
"Three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu, and the power of the forbidden army depends on you.
Xu Chen has made such speeches a lot of times, and he has practiced like fire and pure affection, and his generous speech is awe-inspiring, so he asked loudly.
"Confidence?!"
"Yes!"
"Fight bravely to kill the enemy and raise the prestige of our army! Fight bravely to kill the enemy and raise the prestige of our army! ”
The three thousand sergeants were in a mood of Xu Chen's tune, and when it came to this, Long Wujun, who was a royal guard, was full of spirit and enthusiasm, and this shout had the momentum of breaking through Xiao Han.
Xu Chen's coming here is roughly this purpose, not to mention Fang Yi, that is, he himself was shocked by the soldiers of this town, after the morning parade, the major military camps in Liangzhou began to practice, the sound of killing shook the sky, the soldiers were like fighting chicken blood, especially Xu Chen's Chishui Army who was in charge of the parade, because that brother Shu Deying was scolded by the cane, the morale suddenly rose, and the ** practice in Pingyue was increased a lot, the two of them fought against each other, and the hand-to-hand combat was all brave and abnormal, Xu Chen and Fang Yi who watched were surprised, This Chishui Army was made into a miasma by Geshu Deying, not to mention the Hexi Signature Great Dou Army, and the Great Dou Army is just separated from the camp of the Long Wu Army, and the soldiers of the Long Wu Army will definitely be shocked by the aura of the Great Dou Army and lose their fighting spirit.
The intention of this time is to encourage the Praetorian Guard, if you really want to be a logistics force, Xu Chen's face will naturally be disgraceful, this expedition, Xu Chen can be solid and credible is this Praetorian Guard, and it must be treated, and if the Praetorian Guard is ready, Xu Chen can apply to Ge Shuhan to send Long Wuwei as the vanguard force.
There will definitely be nothing to practice in the past three days, but these three thousand Praetorian guards are the elite of Beijing, even if they are not good, their combat effectiveness is still not to be underestimated, and what Xu Chen can do now is only to boost morale.
After listening to Xu Yuma's speech, the soldiers immediately cheered up, and after the martial arts were finished, they began to practice the array, very positive, this is also a good thing, the big fighting army next to them just finished practicing, that is, they heard that the dragon martial guards began to practice, and they were not curious, the big fighting army made Cheng Shouli send someone to find out, and found that Xu Yuma was in the tent at the moment, and he planned to visit.
Cheng Shouli heard that Ge Shu Deying was scolded by the cane, and suddenly had a good impression of this horse, as the commander of the elite troops in Hexi, he has always been unaccustomed to Ge Shu Deying's actions, and he couldn't help but report to Ge Shuhan, but it was not over, and then Ge Shu Deying knew about it, so he often troubled him, the two met, Ge Shu Deying was taunted in person, which made Cheng Shouli's face red and thick neck, if it wasn't for the deputy general, he would go up and beat the wicked man.
Cheng Shouli had a violent temper, but he was a descendant of Cheng Biting Jin, but at this time, the power of the Cheng family had long been gradually hidden, and now he has some ability, and he has become a big fighting envoy in Hexi Town.
Since he also didn't receive it, otherwise Ge Shuhan would not have promoted him to a general, and Ge Shu Deying wanted to trouble him several times, and said bad things about him in front of Ge Shuhan's tent and was stopped by Ge Shuhan.
A person with a spleen like him is straightforward, and if he likes a person with good character or helps him, even if it is indirect, he must be treated as a friend, but he can't drink alcohol in the army, he still understands this rule, otherwise he will definitely put two jars of good wine and run over.
Before coming to the barracks, he sent someone to report it, Xu Chen personally went out to greet him, he had read some of the information of the generals in the army, but he was interested in the descendants of this Cheng Jin, most of the border town generals are ethnic minorities, and this Cheng Shouli must have some ability to do the big fight.
The two military camps are next to each other, and it is normal for Cheng Shouli to come to visit, and when Xu Chen came to the border of Liangzhou, he was also greeted by this military envoy in person, and they also met on the road, so Xu Chen went out to welcome Cheng Shouli into the tent.
The two were polite, Fang Yi also recognized him, and the few of them chatted for a while, and Cheng Shouli directly said his intention.
"Today, the horse is punishing Ge Shu Deying in the Chishui Army, so that General Mo can admire it, if he can drink alcohol in the army, General Mo must be to respect the three bowls of the horse, no, the ten bowls are also respected!"
The amount of alcohol in Liangzhou is already famous, and even Brother Shuhan is drunk at the bottom of the table, Cheng Shouli changed his mouth when he thought of this, and said ten bowls.
I don't know much about this colt Cheng Shouli, but just by beating Ge Shu Deying, Cheng Shouli admires it from the bottom of his heart, that Ge Shu Deying's backstage is tough, especially when he climbs a high branch like Yang Guozhong, he is even more arrogant, so he is not angry, Cheng Shouli is full of contempt for the prime minister of Yang Da, such a villain can be the prime minister It is really indignant, and this colt does not care about Yang Guozhong's prestige, Ge Shuhan's prestige, and openly beat Ge Shu Deying, Cheng Shouli decided that this person can be handed over.
But so abruptly and worried that the horse thought that he had taken a fancy to the power of the horse and deliberately made friends, how could he be delicate in his heart, even if he had a sentence, he didn't care what others thought of him.
Cheng Shouli can really be called five big and three thick, nearly one meter nine, sturdy like a strong cow, about thirty years old, with a full face and beard, but also worthy of his pride, people look at it like this, and they are afraid.
Xu Chenxin said that why did you speak so directly, how did you know that this Cheng Shouli and this brother Shu Deying have a grudge, and the hatred is very great.
"It's just a matter of curing the military style for the general, but it won't let General Cheng be promoted like this." Xu Chen said with a smile.
"Ge Shu Deying has been in trouble with the Chishui Army for a long time, but no one dares to touch him, the horse is so strict, he has established the military prestige, and he has grown the momentum of the Chishui Army, where can he not respect the horse ten bowls!" Cheng Shouli's voice was very loud, and if the guards outside the tent heard it, they would think that there was a fight inside.
"Horses have always been like this, no matter how big this brother Shu Deying is backstage, as long as he violates military discipline, he will be severely punished!" Fang Yi echoed on the side.
Xu Chen glared angrily, and said in his heart that you want to make a fuss at this time, such a topic is not easy to say, after all, this brother Shu Deying's relationship network is complicated, but how can this Cheng Shouli have the meaning of stopping, the next half an hour, directly became a stand-up comedy with endurance, and the main content of the cross talk is to tell about the various contradictions with Ge Shu Deying in the past few months.
Xu Chen and Fang Yi glanced at each other, dumbfounded, this Cheng Shouli was like a chatter, he came over from the Great Dou Army to chat, and this Cheng Shouli dictated, Xu Chen could perceive that this guy hadn't done anything in the past few months, just to deal with this brother Shu Deying.
Cheng Shouli even dared to say that he wanted to write to the emperor to denounce Ge Shu Deying's illegal behavior, Xu Chenzhi admired the five bodies to the ground, why didn't this person have long eyes? How dare you say such a thing? And you still talk to someone who has met you once closely?
This Cheng Shouli Balabala said endlessly, Xu Chen suddenly realized, this guy is a big mouth, and a chatter, no wonder Ge Shu Deying can always find his handle, Xu Chen can only sigh that Cheng Shouli has lived for so long, and it is not easy to sit on the big fighting envoy.
According to common sense, Cheng Shouli will definitely not say such a thing, but anyone with a little IQ will know the stakes, but as soon as he opened the chatterbox, he couldn't hold it, and he even said it when he said it, and after realizing it, he was immediately startled, and his face was a little red.
This Cheng Shouli is famous for his big mouth and chatter and temper, his surname is bold and bold, and he naturally has a lot of friends, but there are not many people who are willing to drink with him, mainly because this guy can be light without drinking, as soon as he drinks, it is over, there is directly the Yellow River water, continuous momentum, the highest record is to pull the deputy envoy in the army to drink directly until the next morning, the mouth has not been idle, the adjutant is not good to refuse and the result is not much drinking, directly to listen to vomit, vomit a mess, never dare to drink again, lest Cheng Shouli find an opportunity to drink.
And Cheng Shouli actually opened the conversation box in front of the colt, firstly, the pony is too handsome, very affinity, and there is no arrogance when he talks, and the chat is much more natural. Second, because of Ge Shu Deying's matter, this Ge Shu Deying held his anger for many months, because he was scolded by the cane of the horse, and the army said that he might have lost his position, so he naturally regarded the horse as his friend.
Such a thing as beating the emperor is too serious, not only Ge Shuhan will have a gap with him, but Yang Guozhong will definitely not let him go, Cheng Shouli was startled when he thought of this, and immediately stopped abruptly, and the scene was suddenly much more embarrassing.
Xu Chen and Fang Yi played as if they were watching a circus monkey performance, this Cheng Shouli really surprised him, so nonsensical, he was talking endlessly, and others couldn't interject, and he didn't say anything at once, it was no longer an embarrassment to describe.
"That, that ......" Cheng Shouli was speechless, choking, not knowing what to do.
"I haven't heard anything about what the general said, does General Fang know what General Cheng said?"
Fang Yi wanted to laugh and held back, hurriedly shook his head, Cheng Shouli's hanging heart was put down, and another thought popped up when he landed: "This colt won't threaten me with this, right?" ……
Two days passed quickly, and the afternoon before the expedition, Ge Shuhan presided over the last military meeting before the expedition in the lobby of the official office, and systematically explained the general deployment of troops.
In the past two days, Xu Chen has been a little familiar with Cheng Shouli, his big mouth said things that shouldn't be said last time, and he was scared for several days, and his brain was not very active and didn't know what to do, and finally came up with a method: that is, be respectful to this horse, be on call, and execute any orders immediately, after all, this horse will return to Beijing after the battle, what kind of identity is the horse, and he will not care about such a trivial matter with him, so as long as he ensures that he will not offend him before the horse returns to Beijing, everything will be fine.
No one thought that because of a circus monkey show, a seemingly funny, but actually absurd and comedic performance, quietly changed Cheng Shouli's life...... (To be continued.) )
