Chapter 29: First Squad
Although they have repeatedly received Chen Kefu's assurances, even if it is Yiwen Zhide, they can guarantee to hold on until the reinforcements arrive. But even so, Yu Wenhua, who had already been frightened, still refused to return to his tent.
In his opinion, since he can't leave for the time being, the safest place in the entire camp is naturally by Chen Kefu and other generals. At that time, if the Goguryeo people really broke through the camp, he would have to flee with Chen Kefu and others. So although he felt very bored about a group of old men sitting in the tent in the middle of the night without talking about the wind and the moon and not drinking wine, he still sat in the tent with a dead face and did not leave.
For this eldest son of the Yuwen family, it was naturally impossible for everyone to drive him away, he wanted to sit, so he went with him. Everyone is just discussing the situation that may be faced, and discussing the various strategies that should be changed. Everyone also regarded Shaoqing of Taifu Temple as air completely, and he was not that person.
Nearly an hour after the news of the first discovery of the enemy's whereabouts, when everyone thought it was another false alarm, the roaring hooves of several horsemen drove to the vicinity of the camp where Chen Kefu and the others were discussing the military situation. Without waiting for a few people to go out to check, Luo Lin opened the tent and came in and said, "My lord, the people of the first team are back, and they have brought news. ”
As soon as Chen Kefu heard this, he immediately dropped the map in his hand and hurriedly walked out of the tent with a group of generals. As soon as they came out, the cavalrymen had just dismounted and drank a few large sips of water handed by their comrades, calming down their breath.
"What did you find? Quick to speak. Chen Kefu was a little anxious at the firelight, which had already been soaked with sweat.
The cavalryman was a man in his thirties, and he was followed by two young cavalrymen who were also soaked with sweat, and it was estimated that the captain was intercepted when he sent them back, so he sent three back at once.
"General, we were the first to discover the traces of the enemy's cavalry, and after the captain sent someone back to report the news, we followed the trail. It didn't take long for us to catch up, and the other party was only about a dozen horses, and we followed them dozens of miles south before we found that they had entered a valley. We went over and looked, and there were about 3,000 cavalry in the valley, and there were no infantry. But it is not certain whether it was the vanguard of the Goguryeo people, or all of their troops. The captain asked the three of us to come back first and report to the general, and the few of them continued to stay there to monitor the movements of the Goguryeo cavalry. ”
Chen Kefu patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, what's your name?" ”
"General, I am from the first team of the second brigade of the first regiment of the broken barracks, our captain is called Daniel Zhang, my name is Zhang Meng, and the two brothers who came back with me are called Liu Da and Liu Er." The man wiped the sweat from his head and said excitedly.
"Is Captain Daniel Zhang your brother?" Listening to the names of these four people, Chen Kefu didn't have to guess to know that they must be two pairs of brothers. Look at the guy's bulky and really fierce look.
Zhang Meng nodded, "The seven brothers of our family, except for the sixth and seventh brothers of our family who are still serving our old lady at home, the other five brothers have already joined the army with spears, and we have already come to Liaodong City twice." Last time, my second brother couldn't go back, and this time we must avenge him. Our captain Daniel Zhang is our eldest brother, and our third brother and fourth brother are also on a team with us, and they are still guarding there with their brother to monitor the movements of the Goguryeo people. ”
Chen Kefu didn't expect that this was actually a family of seven brothers, and all five brothers were thrown into the same army, which was only possible in ancient times. But I didn't expect that he was the same as the old man Li Benlei, and he was a simple soldier who lost his relatives in the expedition to Liao. I can't help but have a deeper understanding of this sentence, which only left a short sentence in the history books: "Sui Si conquered Goguryeo, and millions of people were killed and wounded".
"Your Zhang family is all good, the information you found this time is very important, and everyone in the first regiment, second brigade, and first team will make a great contribution. Do a good job, and then let you Zhang family have four generals and glorify the lintel. As for your second brother's revenge, we will definitely take revenge. You're so tired, go down and get some rest first, and I'll send someone to replace your brothers and them in a moment. After speaking, he also praised Liu Da and Liu Er, the two young brothers, and asked them to go down to rest.
When everyone left, as soon as he returned to the tent, Lu Shishen immediately couldn't control his mouth, and said with a big grin, "General, since we have found out that the other party is hiding in the valley, why don't we take the opportunity to kill him unprepared and block them in the valley to catch turtles in an urn." ”
As soon as Lu Shishen's words came out, several captains were a little moved, and a kind of longing glint appeared in their eyes. After following Chen Kefu recently, they were too smooth. With 3,000 men against 11,000 men, they almost won a complete victory, and they also captured a large city without blood, capturing nearly 20,000 Goguryeo troops. Every general who followed Chen Kefu was promoted to the next level, and he also got so many rewards, which couldn't help but greatly stimulate their **. So as soon as they heard that there were only 3,000 people, they immediately came to their senses, if it was really as Zhang Meng said, the other party only had 3,000 people, and they were hiding in the valley, then if they took advantage of the night air attack, maybe they could really achieve a big victory, at least these officers who broke the barracks now did not think that it would be difficult to face the Goguryeo cavalry one-on-one.
If it was a night attack on the camp, then 3,000 people would not even have much casualties at all, and they would be able to take down these 3,000 Goguryeo cavalry. This is a great achievement, maybe everyone present can be promoted to another level, even if they can't be promoted, then all kinds of rewards will never be less. In the face of such a temptation, the officers who had risen step by step from the bottom were a little moved.
Chen Kefu looked at everyone's thoughts, although he was also 100% sure that he would eat the cavalry hidden in the valley, but there was no need to think about it, he had already rejected this tempting idea. He is now the commander of the first army, not a captain or captain. Every decision he makes, he has to think about more. Now the most important thing for them is the big camp, and if they defend the big camp and successfully send these supplies and captured civilians to Liaodong City, then it will be a great achievement.
Shaking his head, Chen Kefu said to everyone, "Now we have only detected this group of centaurs for the time being, and we don't know if there are other centaurs hiding nearby." What's more, our main goal now is to hold the camp. Seeing small profits and ignoring oneself is a situation that every general should avoid. If one is not good, we may fall for the enemy's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and then the big battalion will lose, and then the gains will outweigh the losses. Everyone, find out the information and whereabouts of the other party. But we held the camp until reinforcements arrived, and then we could compete with each other on the battlefield. ”
After speaking, he looked at the officers who were still a little moved, and said, "Pass my order, without my order, it is strictly forbidden to act privately in the barracks, and those who dare to commit crimes will be severely punished." Let's all disperse, the first to eighth regiments will be on guard tonight, and the soldiers of the eighth to fifteenth regiments will rest first to recuperate. ”
After the group dispersed, Chen Kefu also inspected the strengthening of the battalion's defense work everywhere, and finally simply pulled Lu Shishen, Mao Yi, Chen Qing, Chen Feng, Chen Lin, Chen Huo, Chen Shan, Chen Fu, and Chen Gui, the nine family members who came out of Chenjiazhuang, and now the subordinate generals chatted against a bonfire in the camp. For Chen Kefu, although these people have a little more brains except for Mao Yi and Chen Qing, the other six guys are almost like Lu Shishen and don't have to think about things. However, these people are his confidants and henchmen of Chen Kefu in this troubled world.
Of the fifteen regiments in the broken barracks, they brought nine regiments, so for these guys, he also had to spare some time from time to time to teach and teach. Now that he has decided to pull up a team in this troubled world, these loyal family members will be his biggest helpers. Especially in the early stages, only these people are the most reliable.
On this bonfire, a wooden fork was baking flatbread, and although there was an enemy tonight and we couldn't drink alcohol, we were all happy to stay together.
The youngest Chen Qing said with a smile, "When we return to Chenjiazhuang in triumph, when you say that Uncle Mao will find out that our general has become a senior official from the third grade, will you startle Uncle Mao when you say it." ”
Lu Shishen said with a smile while nibbling on the baked fragrant cakes, "Uncle Mao is not surprised, I don't know, I know that the old man Niu in the village must be happy to death, the ancestors of the old man Niu have been from the village for more than ten generations, and now there is a son-in-law from the fifth grade, this is a big official at the same level as the master of Zhongjun." The old man has never seen the county order in his life, but he suddenly became an old man from the fifth grade, I dare say that he must have fainted. ”
Chen Qing has been in love with Niu Erya, the daughter of Zhuangtou Niu Laohan, since he was a child, but Niu Laohan has been reluctant to agree in the past, Niu Laohan always thinks that if one day there is a landlord like Chen Kefu who takes a fancy to his daughter, even if he takes it as a small one, then the life of his daughter and him Niu Laohan in the future will be much stronger than marrying a small family like Chen Qing.
Everyone burst into laughter, even Chen Kefu was smiling happily with his mouth open, and this was the first time he felt so relaxed and dissolved into this era. I no longer feel that I am just a transcendent spectator, but truly regard myself as a person from the Sui Dynasty.
He is not alone in this Sui Dynasty, he has so many family members who have been together since childhood like his family, as well as several elderly people in the family such as Mao Bo, who is as kind as his own grandfather. Although they are not related by blood, these people are his relatives in this era. Even for the sake of these people around him, he has to find a place for everyone in this troubled world. The night in the mountains and forests is still cool and breezy, but at this time the whole night is no longer silent, with the bonfires lit everywhere, the sound of the hot people who are in full swing, in this mountain forest, it seems that it was moved to a town by the gods with ** force.
The night breeze is still customary, but even the birds and beasts that inhabit it are all far away, and the whole mountain is dotted with sparks, lively but with a kind of solemnity.
It's so sad to get up.,Wake up early in the morning and find that the keyboard is broken again.,The third keyboard hung up this year.。 Fortunately, I was prepared when I bought it last time, and I bought an extra spare.
