Chapter 593: Talking While Eating
Wang Xianling was a little embarrassed for a while, and his eyes were full of asking Chen Letian to help him speak.
Chen Letian hesitated, and said to Captain Lu: "This is a kind arrangement by the county commander, Captain Lu should accept it, anyway, it's still early, and the little that I ate before doesn't count." ”
Captain Lu glanced at Chen Letian, nodded and said to Wang Xianling: "Then thank you Lord Wang, thank you." Then he turned his head and said: "Let's eat, be careful not to eat too much, you can turn ten heels after eating, and I will come to check when the time comes." ”
"Yes. ”
Captain Lu gave an order, and all the soldiers moved one cart in an orderly manner, and soon more than a dozen carts of things were moved. The soldiers continued to return to their original campfires and ate in a daze.
These chickens, ducks, and fish were prepared according to the amount of five times that of a normal person, and at first he ordered it to be three times, but then he thought that the soldiers seemed to be more able to eat, so he increased it by two times.
"His mother tastes so good, well, it's delicious. ”
"The taste of this fish is much better than what we make ourselves. ”
"Give me the drumsticks. ”
"Give me the chicken ass. ”
"Give me the chicken head. ”
...
Noisy eating and drinking.
When the county commander first arrived, he saw these soldiers standing in front of the bonfire, straight as a mountain, and the oppressive force made the county commander sweat on his back. But when you eat big fish and meat at this time, it doesn't seem to be so scary...
"When the things are delivered, the official will go back first. Wang Xian ordered Gong Gong to hurry back to the city, he really didn't want to stay with these soldiers for a long time, and he was uncomfortable.
Chen Letian brought more than a dozen chickens and gave one to each of Captain Lu and the ten captains. Sitting cross-legged, he said, "Brothers, talk while eating." ”
"You eat it too. Captain Lu was polite and gnawed on the chicken.
"Every day I am in Chengdu, I don't eat and drink spicy food, and I can't eat it anymore. As he spoke, Chen Letian touched his belly, as if there was a big belly under his clothes. Fire Book Bar
Everyone laughed, and Captain Lu, who had always been serious, laughed: "That's the same, it's like we are trained by the general in the army every day." Lotte, you don't know, when they heard that they were going to come to Shudi to carry out a mission, they were all happy as if they were going to marry a daughter-in-law. ”
"I'm happier than marrying a daughter-in-law. The captains laughed.
"You should be happy, it's always easier to come out than in the camp, and those who weren't chosen must regret dying, haha. When the mission is completed, everyone should talk to the other brothers and envy them. Chen Lotian also smiled.
Then Chen Letian said: "Brothers, I have to tell you bad news." There are not only many mountain bandits in Shudi, but they are not as vulnerable as we imagined. You don't know what's going on here. I was in Bazhong City before, and I met the most powerful gang near Bazhong City, called the Iron Head Gang. There are several thousand members of this gang, although most of them are not very capable of fighting. But they have hundreds of elite soldiers, or death squads, this team I think is very powerful, not much worse than our northern army. Don't really think of this mission as a break, it's not that simple. ”
When the army commanders heard Chen Letian's words, they all frowned and said that they didn't believe it, saying that the bandits could still compete with our northern army.
Even Captain Lu couldn't believe it, what kind of death squad could compare with the Northern Army's combat strength? You must know that they have 365 days a year, and in addition to the necessary physical recovery time, I am afraid that the time for real rest is less than 10 days. Can those bandits have such hard work as they do? And they have the best captain in the whole Song Dynasty and the only great general in the world. They are the hardest workers, and they are the ones who enjoy the best teachers, who can compare with them?
Chen Letian sighed lightly and said, "I just said that it is not worse than us, but I didn't say that it must be better than us." But as far as I can see, those hundreds of death squads are definitely not weaker than ours, at least in terms of courage. I was thinking that a bandit, especially a gang that can survive for a long time and dominate in the mountains near the left, must have such a death squad, or it can also be said to be elite soldiers. Brothers, think about it, the general's brief remarks say that there are mountains in Bashu and roughly count how many there are, and that there are bandits on a mountain, and there are always dozens or hundreds of elite soldiers on average in a bandit, right? How many of these add up? Have you ever thought about it?"
Chen Letian said this, took the kettle from Xiaohu's hand and took a few sips, and then added a few sticks of firewood to the fire.
The captains fell silent for a moment. The action of eating chicken also slowed down. These eleven people, including Captain Lu, are the mainstay of the Northern Army. These people are the best people in the Northern Army, whether in terms of martial arts, in terms of their understanding of war, or their grasp of human nature and human hearts.
In their hearts, such a thing as a mountain bandit is not worth fighting at all, and the horse bandit in the desert of the frontier can only be regarded as a training method that can keep them strong.
But now that Chen Letian told them, they suddenly woke up, and they could even be said to be taken aback.
"Lotte if you have any ideas, just say it, talk it out, and everyone will discuss it. Captain Lu said, thinking that he didn't think of this on the way here, although he thought that there were many bandits, but he thought that they were all rabble, and he didn't think that no matter how weak the bandits, there were a few who could really fight.
The Wu Chang also followed: "Chen Wu Chang quickly speak." ”
When the captains heard Captain Lu say this, they all snickered in their hearts. Captain Lu often said this in the army. Whether it is training, performing tasks or going to the grass valley, if there is a bad situation, he will say this to Chen Letian. Then basically Chief Chen's opinion will be adopted by Captain Lu.
Of course, only the Captains know about this. And no one dared to say anything. After all, Chen Wuchang can indeed come up with a solution to the problem that others can't think of every time. As for who would dare to look down on Captain Lu? After all, Captain Lu could beat the three of them alone, and after all, when Captain Chen was away, no one could come up with a better way than Captain Lu when he encountered a problem.
Chen Letian habitually waited for Captain Lu to ask first, and then said, "But we don't have to worry too much." After all, we still have the soldiers and horses of the commanders from all over the country, and we can let the local commanders and soldiers assist us wherever we go. So in terms of personnel, we are not just 300 people. ”
Captain Lu said: "But you also know that if the commander makes the soldiers and horses too weak, then we might as well attack with only three hundred people, and we can avoid being disadvantaged." ”
