Chapter 46: The white-robed young general
Near the camp defense school field in Nanyang City.
I saw more than a dozen iron horsemen guarding a young man, all of them were quiet and tightly guarded.
One rode an armored iron horseman, with a delicate face and dark eyes, wearing a silver battle robe, defended by seventeen iron horse guards, and he was majestic at a young age.
Chen Duwei of Nanyang Mansion praised in his heart, a young hero, worthy of a family of generals.
Chen Duwei didn't dare to drag it out, so he greeted him and said with a smile: "But Xiao Dao has become Xiao Baihu." ”
"It's a humble duty, meet the general." The silver-robed boy jumped off his horse, the armor on his body couldn't help but clang, and he clasped his fists and saluted.
"Please forgive me for wearing armor and not being able to salute" After all, it is in the barracks, and the military law is strict, so I dare not be rude.
"Well, don't be polite, please get up."
"No!"
The two of them entered the main general's tent one after the other, and the seventeen iron horsemen who followed naturally could not enter.
"You know why you were here."
"I don't know about my humble position, but please let the general say it clearly."
Duwei Chen paused for a moment and thought about it.
"This official recommended you to Liang Taishou as the main general to quell the rebellion against Zhang Wuwu's gang of thieves. You can be confident! Zhang Wuwu can also be regarded as a veteran general in the army and a veteran of a hundred battles. ”
"Thank you for the kindness of the general, as an imperial soldier, you should obey the orders of the superiors. The liver and brain are smeared on the ground, and they are not resigned. ”
Chen Duwei was very satisfied with his statement, and said happily: "You have this thought, this official is very satisfied, I am a military man, only to show use, as long as you do your best to quell the rebels and thieves, I will not treat you lightly." ”
"Thank you to the general for his love, his humble duty to quell the rebels and thieves, his loyalty to the court, and his service to the general." It is not easy to say such a thing. Xiao Daocheng didn't care about the armor on his body, and hurriedly knelt down and thanked the general.
Chen Duwei smiled happily: "Very good, you are so loyal, this matter will be handed over." ”
Stretched out his hand to help Xiao Daocheng, held his hand, and said cordially: "Now I will promote you to the head of a thousand households, and a thousand light cavalry in Nanyang City will also be handed over to you, and you must not underestimate the enemy." ”
Xiao Daocheng is currently accumulating merit to become the head of a hundred households, and only by promoting him to the head of a thousand households can he have a reason to command so many troops, otherwise he will exceed his authority and will be criticized.
And this code is a temporary authorization, a means of extraordinary times, and there is no need to report layer by layer, wasting time.
Xiao Daocheng knew that Chen Duwei's intentions were good.
"Lord Chen has bothered, but I still want to ask my lord to rebel against the thief Zhang Wuwu's recent situation, and I want to be prepared in my heart." Xiao Daocheng already knew part of the situation from other sources, but the information they obtained was not as accurate as that of Chen Duwei.
"Xiao Qianhu is really diligent in the king's affairs."
After a pause, he thought about it for a moment before he said: "Seven days ago, the incident started because one of the supervisors of the quarry whipped Zhang Wuwu, and because the prisoners had been grudging for a long time, they began to rebel. The 2,000 garrisons were destroyed, and they were left with less than a thousand outlaws. Later, 100,000 displaced people were summoned to attack Xinyi County, but it was difficult to suppress it, so I recruited you to quell the rebellion. ”
Xiao Daocheng's face was solemn: "No wonder, there are nearly 1,000 elite soldiers as the backbone, if they are allowed to get food and grass again, the general trend will be already achieved, and it will be difficult to contain." Fortunately, in order to avoid the situation from worsening, we must eliminate this gang of thieves as soon as possible. ”
"Also, are the local tyrants and squires involved?"
In the wave of the uprising, when the original landlord class joins and seizes control, it will seize the land and become a force of its own. This nature is different.
"Not yet."
"That's fine. Although these nearly 1,000 elite soldiers are not easy to deal with, they have not been able to get food supplies for a long time, and their combat power has not been reduced by a few points. Xiao Daocheng breathed a sigh of relief. However, it must also be strangled quickly, otherwise, there may be another incident. ”
Chen Duwei praised it and said: "This officer has carefully selected a thousand elite cavalry from thousands of officers and soldiers, opened the arsenal and equipment, and helped you quickly send troops to quell the rebels." ”
"Lord Xie is very loving, and he will live up to the general's expectations."
This is the first time that Xiao Daocheng has been important, and he must work hard, not only to quell the rebels and thieves, but also to complete the mission cleanly.
"The subordinate has a plan to defeat the thief in one battle, listen to the subordinates carefully."
.........
After listening to this, Chen Duwei nodded and smiled frequently, and when he heard the subtleties, he even said yes, and then frowned again.
"If you do this, you will offend the Yuan family, and you are not afraid of their retaliation."
"The Yuan clan was supposed to serve the imperial court, and if his subordinates didn't attack, the Yuan clan would probably be destroyed. Besides, they weren't in the mood to trouble me afterwards. ”
Chen Duwei nodded secretly, very satisfied.
"In this way, I am relieved. You have repaired in the barracks, trained these thousand light cavalry well, and as soon as I get the news, you can attack with all your might. ”
"No!"
Three days later, Xiao Daocheng was in the barracks and Captain Chen came to the barracks to inspect and saw a thousand
