Chapter 355: We Are the Dengzhou Battalion

When the four civil officials from the Jinshi came together to discuss how to write this recital, everyone was in a difficult situation. Seriousness is Chen Xie's greatest credit, but all civil officials are a little bit small in their hearts. In times of crisis, I want to save my life, but when the crisis passes, I think about everything I should remember. People are this virtue, let alone these literati.

The most typical is Cao Wenzhao, who fought to the death and was tired and tired, and all his exploits were blackened by Hong Chengchou. How else to show that the literati of the dynasty are not things. The four people here, that is, Lu Xiangsheng, are more open-minded, but he is not stupid. As soon as he saw the other three twisting their beards in thought, he understood what he meant.

Li Juesi and Liu Dagong have similar meanings, the credit for defending Chuzhou must be highlighted, but it cannot be placed on top of Lu Xiangsheng. The rules of officialdom are like this, and the first credit must be Lu Xiangsheng's. Then their merits are ranked second, and the next is the merit of the generals. The normal process is this, everyone will follow it first, and they will wait for Yang Tinglin to speak first.

The problem is that Yang Tinglin's mind is different, he doesn't want to offend Chen Xie. To say that this product is stunned, it is not enough. At best, it's an alternative. Replaced by other generals, Yang Tinglin's brilliant pen can solve the problem, and put the civil official in front of the merit book, which is no problem at all. Chen Xie is not good, one is that the credit this time is too great, and the other is that Chen Xie has food.

Yang Tinglin was quite hesitant, from the perspective of Lu Xiangsheng's interests, it was really not cost-effective for these two civil officials in Chuzhou to offend Chen Xie. Looking at these two people looking at him blankly, Yang Tinglin looked at Lu Xiangsheng with an indifferent face. He said to the two colleagues: "The matter of the report, let's wait for Chen Sihua, the chief soldier of the Dengzhou battalion, to come and talk about it, now it's important to clean up the mess and settle the people." ”

These words shocked the two Chuzhou officials, how could this happen? If you want to talk about Chen Xie's reputation, it is not very good among civil officials. Even if he saved Chuzhou, even if these two civil officials were grateful to him, they had to keep their distance from him. This is a question of class position, and there is nothing false about it. Yang Tinglin's words were obviously biased towards Chen Xie. How can they not be surprised?

"Master Lu. This one....... Li Juesi still held on to a little hope to see what Lu Xiangsheng meant.

"Let's play it as it is!" Lu Xiangsheng was even more straightforward, and settled the matter in one sentence. In this regard, the other three Wenchen shook their heads in their hearts. Play it as it is. This is to put Chen Xie's Dengzhou camp in the first place. Although I don't want to. can't stand Lu Xiangsheng is the prime minister of Jiangbei and the governor of the five provinces, his official is the biggest, and the final twist and turn is naturally to pass his pass.

The tone has set. The other three Wenchen began to dig out their minds, pondering how to downplay Chen Xie's merits as much as possible and emphasize the merits of others. is to do tricks and feet in words, not to mention concealing Chen Xie's credit, but to focus on pen and ink.

Looking at the expressions of the three of them, Lu Xiangsheng understood in his heart that Yang Tinglin meant not to offend Chen Xie, and he would not speak well for him. Civil officials, that's what is in the bones, and it can't be changed.

"Take pen and ink, Lu will come in person." Lu Xiangsheng's words cut off other people's thoughts. He is a little disdainful of other people's practices, and he can't agree with it and won't go along with it. Or how could Zu Kuan fight hard under his men, and he would be more obedient? It is because Lu Xiangsheng is fair and honest as an official. is the so-called public life, honesty and prestige, Lu Xiangsheng is such a person. Ordinary military generals, they are obedient to him, even if it is Chen Xie, they give him more face. This is really a character problem!

Holding the wolf hair, Lu Xiangsheng said lightly before putting pen to paper: "Everyone, at this moment, Chen Sihua is still leading his troops to pursue, and he should have waited for him to come back before playing." However, the thief was caught, and he was ruined in the snow, and he thought that he should do his best to play the Ming Majesty xià to comfort the sacred heart. "Anyway, I don't say that I want to ask for the opinions of others, and the pen of the brush is gone, and the article will be written in a while.

The other three people watched and nodded frequently. The text is naturally a good text, Lu Xiangsheng can play with a knife to cut people when he gets on the horse, and he can play with a pen to write articles when he gets off the horse, and he is still a serious Jinshi. Naturally, what is written is impeccable.

Write about the overall situation of the Central Plains first, Huguang has few soldiers, and cannot fortify everywhere, causing the thieves to advance eastward, "the crime of the minister". This is considered to be the first to suppress, and the next text is to be raised. The thieves besieged Luzhou, but they were stubbornly resisted and could not succeed. turned to besiege Luzhou, intending to cross the river. Chuzhou is a critical place, and the thieves raise 400,000 troops to besiege the city, "thanks to Li and Liu's desperate defense of the palace, they braved the arrows and stones, and the blood was soaked for two days, Chuzhou was preserved, and the ministers and others could arrive in time to attack the thieves under the city."

"The general soldier Chen Xie was stationed in Xuzhou, and after receiving the order, he led 20,000 cavalry, and marched 300 miles to Zhongdu in three days, and the whole division arrived, and no one was left behind, which was unprecedented in the Ming Dynasty." This sentence affirms that Chen Xie's elite training is unparalleled by the Ming Dynasty. The following transition paragraph writes about the fierce battle, "Go to the front line, attack the thieves and 100,000 bandits with more than 10,000 troops, fight bloodily for a day, the thieves are defeated for hundreds of miles, the dead and wounded, and the thieves are captured alive in front of the battle." ”

All in all, Lu Xiangsheng wrote the chapter realistically, and after writing it, everyone was a little ashamed. Lu Xiangsheng didn't mention himself much, he was talking about others. If you think about it carefully, what will the emperor think when he sees this twist? Clever!

As the prime minister and the governor of the five provinces of Jiangbei, what big victory can he have less? Isn't that the truth? People don't need to mention themselves too much, just one sentence, just one sentence "the ministers will gather in the central capital", which is enough.

In other words, naturally some people mentioned Lu Xiangsheng. It's very simple, how many soldiers does Huguang have? Less than 20,000, how many thieves are there? Lu Xiangsheng's greatest contribution was the timely transfer of Chen Xie to Zhongdu, which led to the Chuzhou victory.

What does this mean? It shows that Chen Xie and Hong Chengchou can't get together, but Lu Xiangsheng did. The side brings out Lu Xiangsheng's ability to be significantly stronger than Hong Chengchou. It's all Dengzhou battalion, why did Lu Xiangsheng command a great victory, and your Hong Chengchou capable Chen Xie wanted to play with you, and almost said the words of rebellion.

The fold was written, others had no opinions, everyone named one after another, Chen Xie didn't need it, there was a text on it, "The chief soldier Chen Xie, personally led three thousand elite horsemen to chase and suppress the thieves outside, and the minister Lu Xiangsheng was terrified, and he beat him thousands of miles away." ”

Lu Xiangsheng sent Yang Lukai with 500 elite soldiers to escort Gao Yingxiang to Beijing. That's the end of the calculation. Next, how to continue to encircle and suppress the thieves, Lu Xiangsheng also hopes that Chen Xie will come back soon. As a result, after a day off, the goods did not come back, and Zu Kuan did not come back. Lu Xiangsheng was puzzled and came out to find Chen Xie in person.

As a result, it was reported that General Chen was still chasing the thieves. Zu Kuan is back, and he has to come to receive the head. In this battle, more than 10,000 people were beheaded, Zu Kuan was divided into 4,000, the Dengzhou battalion was divided into 4,000, and the rest was given to the Tianxiong army. This distribution is quite fair, at least Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Tinglin will not have an opinion, they can't watch others make meritorious contributions, and the Tianxiong Army has not made an inch, right?

Lu Xiangsheng had no choice but to wait for Chen Xie to come back, and the next battle would definitely be inseparable from Chen Xie's Dengzhou battalion, which he was much more sober than Hong Chengchou. Chen Xie is not a master that civilian officials can handle at will.

Chen Xie took 3,000 cavalry, taking the brigade as a unit, taking turns to attack, chasing where there were many people, and this way to Dingyuan was over. On the way back, he collected the displaced people all the way and brought them back to Chuzhou. One after another, Chen Xie's 3,000 cavalry, gathered more than 10,000 displaced people, and slowly came to Chuzhou. Chen Xie was concerned about the battle situation and took his own soldiers to take the first step. After passing the Qingliu Pass, he hurried back unhurriedly on the official road in the mountains.

A figure suddenly appeared in front of him, running across the road towards the mountain, but he didn't expect to fall on the side of the road with a snap and didn't move. Chen Xie hurriedly dismounted and stepped forward to see what was going on. It doesn't matter how you fight on the battlefield, the battle is over, and if you can save one, it counts as one. The ten-and-a-half-year-old children who fell to the ground, their eyes widened, and they looked at Chen Xie squatting in front of him in horror, smiling on their faces.

"Little brother, don't be afraid, we are from the Dengzhou camp." Chen Xie's line is copied from the model of revolutionary movies. Don't say it, the discipline of the Dengzhou camp is too good, and many times as long as you say that it is from the Dengzhou camp, the people will not be afraid of you.

"Dengzhou Battalion?" The half-grown child who fell to the ground muttered to himself, did not resist, and looked at the foot that Chen Xie had handed over to see the wound.

"Don't move, you have to endure the pain of the wound, otherwise this leg can't be saved." The child had a wound on his leg, which looked like it had been scratched when he was running, and it had been bandaged simply, and it had become inflamed without disinfection or anything.

Master Chen, a barefoot doctor, has not personally bandaged a wound for a long time, but his skills have not regressed. After working for a while, he bandaged the child and said with a smile: "Okay, no accident, this leg can be saved." Saying that, Chen Xie stood up, reached out and took a pack of biscuits from Han Shan's hand, handed it to the child, and said, "Take this, eat and heal quickly." ”

Chen Xie got up to leave, and the child shouted from behind: "Master, wait a minute." Chen Xie turned his head and smiled at him, the child showed shyness, struggled to stand up with a stone, raised his hand and shouted into the forest on the mountain: "Don't be afraid, come out, it's the master of the Dengzhou camp." ”

A group of people slowly came out of the mountains and forests, all old people and children. Although his face was full of fear, he walked out. Chen Xie looked at these people with a smile, trying not to scare them.

A few old men came over and knelt down for Chen Xie, and said, "Is it the master of the Dengzhou camp in Yunyang?" The one asked, "Is it in the green skin Dengzhou camp in Henan?" Chen Xie took off his backpack, took out the helmet strap in the bag, and took it off again: "Did you reply this time?" The old man kneeling on the ground suddenly howled and cried, turned around and shouted at the mountain: "It's the Dengzhou camp, that's right, it's the Dengzhou camp." ”

At this time, thousands of people appeared on the mountain, all of them were holding wooden sticks or something like that, and Han Shan immediately stopped in front of Chen Xie. Chen Xie raised his hand to block him and said, "It's okay, we are the Dengzhou camp." (To be continued......)
