In order to replenish the body of his mother and pregnant wife, Cheng Yanjin bought a lot of rare but inexpensive supplements, and also bought some high-sounding daily necessities, such as soap, firewood, cotton cloth, towels, kettles, glass mirrors, large backpacks and the like. Of course, Cheng Yanjin's favorite, spirits!

Fortunately, although Cheng Bitingjin's family is not a family, his grandfather has been an official of the Northern Qi Dynasty for three generations, but his father died early and has only declined recently, but the family is financially okay. In addition to the land output, Cheng Yanjin himself also has some other inputs.

The young Cheng Yanjin carried this large pile with his newly bought backpack, and happily rushed back, wanting his mother and wife to share his joy. Just as he was about to return to the inn where he was staying, a man and two women stood in front of him and looked at him with very strange eyes.

Seeing Dongfang Undefeated's iconic red brocade robe, Cheng Biting Jin's heart trembled, and immediately respectfully saluted Chen Quan and Dongfang Undefeated.

"Cheng Biting Jin, a man of the mountains and wilderness, has seen Chen Gong, Venerable Dongfang!"

Chen Gong is the honorific title of Chen Quan by the people under his rule, and Dongfang Venerable is an honorific title that came out in the martial arts for nearly a month, when Dongfang Undefeated defeated Shi Zhixuan.

"Hehe, Cheng Yizhen is really not a so-called reckless man, his mind is transparent! Can you have a meal with us? ”

Cheng Yanjin was able to judge the identities of the two in an instant, and Chen Quan was not surprised at all. If you can't recognize it, that's weird!

"Chen Gong invited, and he naturally gladly accepted the invitation."

Looking at Chen Quan's kind expression, Cheng Biting Jin was excited for a while, and happily agreed to the invitation.

The four of them found a relatively high-end restaurant, found a private room, asked for the latest grain wine, and chatted while drinking.

"Yizhen, your great-grandfather, grandfather, and father were all officials of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and you yourself have read and are good at doing things, I want to ask you, if I let you lead an army of 20,000 people alone, do you think you can do it?"

After Chen Quan personally poured a glass of wine for Cheng Yanjin and Dongfang Undefeated, he asked Cheng Yanjin with a smile.

Cheng Yanjin knew that Chen Quan was testing his ability. If Chen Quan's answer is satisfactory, he will step up to a high position at the general level, and if Chen Quan's answer is not satisfied, he may have to start from the bottom.

"Gong Chen's army has seen it. Whether it is in terms of military appearance, equipment, and tactics, it is different from the current army under the whole world. I guess this should be determined by the army equipment and Chen Gong's own art of war. Moreover, after the previous battle, it was proved that such a method of warfare has strong combat effectiveness.

Although Biting Jin has a certain ability in the army, he is not familiar with Chen Gong's art of war and everything about the Donglai army, so Biting Jin's answer is: Not competent! ”

Cheng Yanjin solemnly recalled what he had seen and what he heard in the previous battle, thought about it carefully, gritted his teeth and shook his head.

"Hahaha---! Well, I'm right! Cheng Biting Jin can't be so superficial! Bring! ”

Hearing Cheng Yanjin's answer, Chen Quan laughed and stretched out his hand in front of Dongfang Undefeated.

"Hmph, it's just shit luck!"

Dongfang Undefeated took out a gold ingot and slapped it on Chen Quan's hand with an unhappy face, but Cheng Biting Jin's eyes were full of smiles.

"Looking at the appearance of a reckless man, how can he be born with a delicate heart!"

Belch!

The question of Dongfang's undefeated, Cheng Yanjin didn't know how to answer. This is not the official history, for a great master like Dongfang Undefeated, Cheng Yanjin thinks that he can't afford to offend.

"Okay, don't tease him. Yizhen, it's rare that you can have such a self-awareness. In this way, I have here a set of tactics ahead of this era and a series of explanations of the army's equipment, as well as an explanation of the development trend of equipment in the following years. You learn from me for a while, and when you become proficient, how about I let you bring 20,000 new troops? ”

Chen Quan is very fond of Cheng Yanjin, not only because of his historical reputation, but also because of his sober self-awareness.

"Really! Thank you for your appreciation! ”

Cheng Yanjin stood up happily and thanked Chen Quan respectfully. Not only for Chen Quan's fancy for him, but also for Chen Quan to be able to teach him the new art of war.

"Hehe, sit down, sit down! This is what you deserve, not to mention, you are the first person to defect to me and have the ability to command troops. If you really want to repay me, you can pull a few more capable people over in the future. ”

Chen Quan waved his hand happily and asked Cheng Yanjin to sit down.

"Don't worry, the minister still knows a few people, the most powerful of them is Xu Shiji who is away from the fox, and his fiancée Shen Luoyan is also famous for her unparalleled wisdom, and I will deceive these two little guys after a while!"

Cheng Yanjin patted his chest and assured Chen Quan.

"You know Xu Shiji now? And didn't he vote for Wagang? ”

Hearing the name Xu Shiji, Chen Quan immediately put down the wine glass in his hand, and the same is true for Dongfang Undefeated. According to history, Cheng Yanjin only met Xu Shiji when he arrived in Wagang, Chen Quan didn't understand why this world, at this time Cheng Yanjin knew Xu Shiji. And according to the records, Xu Shiji should have voted for Wagang at this time.

"That's right! Our two families are no more than 100 miles apart. He had a lot of fame at a young age, and I was not convinced, and I had a fight with him the year before last. Although he is inferior to me in horse warfare, I am inferior to him in terms of strategy. As for Wagang, Xu Shiji is only seventeen this year, how can he vote for Wagang. ”

Cheng Yanjin said a little embarrassed, and said the fact that he was inferior to the other party without caring at all. This kind of freedom is rare for ordinary people.

"Hehe, that's a good feeling! If Yizhen can recruit Xu Shiji and Shen Luoyan, I will definitely give you a big surprise! ”

After getting Cheng Yanjin's assurance, Chen Quan was overjoyed. What Chen Quan didn't know was that if it weren't for his occupation of Donglai and the defeat of the Sui army's 100,000 horses, he would have gained a lot of fame, which made Xu Shiji hesitate for a while because of the difficulty of choosing. Moreover, Cheng Yanjin's letter was one step earlier, and Xu Shiji was really going to vote for Wagang.

After Cheng Yanjin saw the art of war books handed over to him by Chen Quan and the cold weapon tactics class played through the projection equipment, he was shocked and wrote to Xu Shiji as soon as possible, explaining the current situation of Donglai and Chen Quan's intention to recruit him to Xu Shiji and Shen Luoyan, who were hesitating.

If it weren't for Chen Quan's confidentiality requirements, the art of war and tactics were not allowed to be spread outside, Cheng Yanjin couldn't wait to tell Xu Shiji everything he had come into contact with. But it is the kind of strategic and tactical thinking that is completely different from the past expressed between the lines that still deeply attracts Xu Shiji.

Chen Yanjin's letter made Xu Shiji and Shen Luoyan decide to go to Donglai first, after all, Donglai's current momentum is much stronger than Wagang.
