Chapter 31 Invisible to Form, Let Alone God
Just as Lin Feng and his entourage walked into the tea shed to rest, Kang Renjie rode a tall horse Shi Shiran into the Northern Army camp in Quanzhou.
Today, Chen Hongjin, deputy commander of the Qingyuan Army, specially invited Kang Renjie to talk about it.
Since the five dynasties, Quanzhou has been repeatedly attacked by soldiers because of its key position, and it has been deeply disgusted by the officers and soldiers of Quanzhou. "Zizhi Tongjian" once recorded that Liu Congxiao once bluntly said to the Southern Tang generals: "Quanzhou and Fuzhou are enemies, and the south is bordered by the land of Linghai miasma, and the land is dangerous and barren. Compared with the year, the military has been prosperous repeatedly, the agriculture and mulberry industry have been abandoned, the winter expedition and the summer have been collected, and they can only support themselves, and the army has been here for a long time! "This passage is to say, you see, we are really poor here, we don't produce anything, it's not easy to feed ourselves, and we can't afford to support your army.
Although this is a pretext used to reject the Southern Tang garrison, it is also in line with the actual situation of Quanzhou City. In particular, since Liu Congxiao officially took charge of Quanzhou, he was deeply afraid of the garrison in the city, except for a very small number of cronies who were able to stay in the city, all the rest of the army were stationed in two garrison camps outside Quanzhou, one north and one south, each battalion garrisoned 30,000 troops, respectively by the deputy commander of the army Zhang Hansi, Chen Hongjin in charge, the local people are accustomed to refer to it as the northern army and the southern army.
The Quanzhou North Army Camp is located at the foot of Qingyuan Mountain, covering an area of more than 100 acres. Because of the continuous repair over the years, a high walled wall has been erected around the barracks, and there are watchtowers at the four corners of the wall, which is like a small castle.
At the gate of the camp, a young general with thick eyebrows and angry eyes and a face like a heavy jujube was guarding there, it was Chen Hongjin's eldest son Chen Wenshan, who was seventeen years old. Kang Renjie had already seen it at the banquet of the Qingyuan Army's envoys.
Kang Renjie turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and saluted: "The young general is heroic and envious!" ”
Chen Wenshan's face was calm, and he hugged his fists and saluted: "Sima Kang has won the award, and my father ordered me to lead Sima into the camp." ”
Kang Renjie looked a little embarrassed on the marching Sima military uniform on his body.
Marching Sima, founded in the first year of Emperor Xianxi of the Three Kingdoms Wei Yuan, his position is equivalent to the military consultation sacrificial wine. In the Tang Dynasty, this position was placed under the generals and envoys of the Jiedu, which is very similar to today's army chief of staff. In the late Tang Dynasty, the military flourished, and most of them were filled by those who were in charge of the actual power of the army.
But for Kang Renjie, his marching Sima military position is more strange, Quanzhou's army is basically in the north and south camps, but his marching Sima is subordinate to the Jiedu Embassy that stays in the multi-effect, and he is so idle that he can't even command a soldier, that is, a gorgeous empty robe hanging in the air. That's it, it's still Kang Renjie's treatment after he sent someone to Jinling City to investigate and verify what he said, before the inspection, Kang Renjie had "bodyguards" everywhere he went!
The two walked past the four motionless guards on duty and walked towards the tent of the Chinese army camp at the foot of the mountain. Both sides of the passage were full of cheers in unison, and the soldiers who were practicing the military formation at a glance.
Kang Renjie looked at the rows of shirtless and hot soldiers, and praised loudly: "It is worthy of being my Qingyuan athlete, all of them are heroic and extraordinary!" ”
Chen Wenshan replied solemnly: "Leave the envoy to govern the army strictly, and my father will naturally abide by it with his heart, and he will use his life as soon as the soldiers are killed!" It's only because of this that I, Qingyuan, can stand tall in the melee over the years! ”
Kang Renjie secretly admired in his heart, this little guy answered without revealing a drip. While walking, Kang Renjie kept praising Chen Hongjin's good training, which made the little guy smile.
The two walked through the military formation and came to the front of the Chinese military camp tent, and saw Chen Hongjin standing on the right side of the school field with two people, and more than a dozen big men were fighting with their bare hands.
Hearing Chen Wenshan's loud admonition, Chen Hongjin turned his head, and Da Lu greeted him with a smile. Kang Renjie hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down on one knee to salute.
Chen Hongjin helped Kang Renjie up with both hands, pointed to the big man on the school field, and said loudly: "Brother Kang, this is a master carefully selected by me from the camp of the Northern Army, and I am also going to build a special force. ”
Kang Renjie stared at it and saw those big men punching back and forth, fighting very lively.
After only a short while, Kang Renjie shook his head and turned his head away from looking.
Chen Hongjin, who had been staring at Kang Renjie, immediately frowned, he hadn't spoken yet, and a middle-aged Confucian student next to him couldn't look at it, and took the lead in scolding loudly: "Quina Kang Renjie, why do you make such an expression?" Could it be that my Quanzhou athletes are not in your eyes? ”
Kang Renjie smiled and shook his head silently.
Chen Hongjin waved his hand to stop the people in the field from fighting, turned around and saluted Kang Renjie: "Is there anything wrong, please teach Brother Kang!" ”
Kang Renjie replied: "Please forgive General Chen for Kang's blunt words, compared with Lin Feng's special forces, this unit is not visible, let alone its god!" ”
This comment is too direct, which means that your army has not even learned the appearance of others, let alone the charm of their interior!
The Confucian student shouted: "Huangkou child, Hugh is talking nonsense!" ”
Chen Hongjin was angry and stared at the Confucian student fiercely: "Renbi, Hugh is impatient!" ”
Chen Hongjin turned to Kang Renjie and said in a deep voice: "Brother Kang, this is my staff and brother Chen Renbi, my temperament is a little anxious, please Brother Kang don't take it to heart, just say it!" ”
"General Xie Chen! Kang must know everything! Kang Renjie replied with his hand, took a step forward, and then pointed to the big guys who were stunned there, and said loudly, "These masters in the army are the same in size and size, and they must be selected based on their strength and good skills, and that Lin Feng conducts open selection through long-distance races, which tests the real physical performance of the soldiers, and the selected soldiers are often not amazing, and he is equipped with the elite with outstanding specialties, and his combat ability has exceeded a large section."
To put it another way, special operations pay attention to acting in secret, and the less they alarm, the better. ”
Chen Hongjin's face was slightly red, and he clenched his fist slightly, and immediately let go, and he stared at Kang Renjie more seriously. Chen Renbi opened his mouth, but did not speak.
The more Kang Renjie spoke, the more energetic he became, and then took a step forward, and he gestured twice on his hand, and said loudly: "Lin Feng said that special operations pay attention to one lethal blow, so daily training requires all special fighters to knock down each other as quickly as possible, and they are not allowed to show tricks or play big moves at any time, and Kang Mou sees these brothers handing over moves, full of shelf, but without strength, then it makes no sense!" ”
Chen Hongjin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded again and again.
Kang Renjie pointed to the empty school field again, and said loudly: "Special forces, in Lin Feng's words, in order to be able to fight in all weather and all environments, it must be decided when and when to take it out, so he has set up many training courses to train the combat ability of the soldiers in various environments. Compared to their crazy training, our training here is too pediatric! ”
Chen Hongjin listened with relish, came up and patted Kang Renjie's shoulder, and said loudly: "Brother Kang's words woke me up in my dream!" I don't know if Brother Kang can list Lin Feng's training subjects one by one and guide them, Chen will definitely have a good reward! ”
Kang Renjie said with a smile: "General Chen commanded, Kang is naturally giving everything, and he doesn't dare to hide it in the slightest!" ”
"Let's go, you and I will go to the Chinese military camp tent to talk in detail!" Chen Hongjin grabbed Kang Renjie's hand and strode forward.
Chen Wenshan and Chen Renbi looked at each other and smiled, squeezed each other's eyes, and softly ordered the big men to disperse for the time being, and then called the second brother Chen Wenhao, who was beside him without saying a word, and hurried a few steps to keep up with Chen Hongjin and Kang Renjie.
It wasn't until the end of the night that Kang Renjie successfully rode out of the camp of the Northern Army, and through an afternoon of showing off, Chen Hongjin not only rewarded him with a lot of money, but also specially implored him to be the instructor of his special forces. Kang Renjie naturally would not refuse, and agreed with his mouth.
Looking at the setting sun in the west, Kang Renjie touched a small bulging burden on the horse's back again, and couldn't help humming a Fujian folk song in his mouth.
When his horse was far away, a figure slid down from a big tree not far from the camp of the Northern Army, glanced at the direction of Kang Renjie's departure, and quickly disappeared into the night under the cover of the tree.
In the middle of the night, a detailed text was placed on the desk of the Qingyuan Army's festival envoy. This report not only recorded Kang Renjie's actions throughout the day today, but also drew a sketch of some of the newly erected equipment in the northern army camp in the afternoon.
When Liu Congxiao saw a three-zhang high city wall, his brows jumped suddenly. I think that back then, I recruited 52 dead soldiers such as Chen Hongjin, entered the city with a white blade ladder overnight, captured and killed Zhu Wenjin's confidant Huang Shaopo, and captured the city of Quanzhou. Now, although Chen Hongjin is preparing to build special forces at his own will, what is his intention in building a city wall as high as Quanzhou City without invitation?
He was stunned for a long time before he lit the information on the candle, but in the constantly beating candlelight, the unhappiness and anger in the corners of his eyes remained frozen.
