Also present at the meeting were the commanders of Chengdu. The officers and men of the 300 forward battalion are the vanguard troops, and they are of course followed by commanders and envoys from all over the country. On average, each city can have about 1,000 people, that is to say, there are about 30,000 people in Chengdu, plus 5,000 people in Chengdu, and there are 35,000 militia commanders and horses.

Although these 35,000 people have average combat effectiveness, they are more than enough to scare those bandits. After all, like the Iron Head Gang death squad, it can only be the elite soldiers of a small number of elite soldiers, and it is already the strongest bandit force in Shudi, and it is impossible to have many and every bandit den.

The Chengdu commander carefully wrote down Chen Letian's arrangements for their march tomorrow, and Chen Letian told him that after tomorrow, Captain Lu will be in charge of you, and you can just find him directly.

The Chengdu commander led the order and left.

And when Chen Letian was just named the prime minister's imperial history, Chen Letian issued a document ordering all the commanders in Shu to obey the dispatch of Captain Lu of the Northern Army, and all government orders were directly subordinate to Captain Lu, and at the same time, in order to avoid suspicion and security, Chen Letian transferred more than a dozen people from the King of Shu and the Governor's Mansion to cooperate with the liaison between Captain Lu and the commanders and envoys from all over the country.

It is tantamount to letting the King of Shu and the Governor's Mansion monitor every order issued by Captain Lu in disguise.

Avoid if Captain Lu is mad and mobilize these people to rebel.

Although the degree of loyalty of the Northern Army is known to the world, I am afraid that it is more courageous and loyal than the Manchu Dynasty Wenchen combined, although the possibility of Captain Lu rebelling is almost zero, but in terms of rules, Chen Letian still has to do it.

As for the prince and the governor's palace, they also cooperated with Chen Letian to mobilize the most capable people under him. Try not to make Captain Lu feel that it is unfavorable to arouse. Captain Lu is a captain of the Northern Military Academy, and it is very likely that he will enter the court as a high-grade military general in the future, and he may not be able to be greater than the governor and even greater than the prince, but he is also a military attache with high power and status.

In this matter, the prince rarely reminded the Governor: "The Governor must choose some capable ones, at least let Captain Lu mobilize troops and horses to keep up with the pace of the Northern Army, otherwise it will be our dereliction of duty." I've chosen the most reassuring and powerful person under my command. ”

The Governor said, "Thank you for the reminder, the Governor will pay attention." ”

The next day, the rooster crowed for the third time, and in the courtyard of the corner of the Yushi Yamen, there was a loud trumpet sound in the temporary camp of the Northern Army, and the sound was not loud, probably only the soldiers in this courtyard could hear it, and they probably didn't dare to wake anyone in the palace of the King of Shu.

But all the barracks were lit and they began to be dressed and washed.

In less than a stick of incense, everyone washed up and came to the courtyard to stand silently, as if the courtyard was empty.

Captain Lu was in armor, pressed his sword and walked in front of his brothers, his eyes swept quietly over the faces of these people through the faint morning light.

After a while, he spoke: "Whoever has a problem, is unwell or something like that, report it immediately." ”

"The first team does not have, the eighth team does not..."

The Wu Commanders said it one by one.

None of them were unwell.

The person sent by Chen Letian to cook for them has already brought breakfast.

"Okay, let's eat. Captain Lu gave an order, and the soldiers began to eat one after another.

After eating, I rested, and the pee that should pee and the pee that should poop the.

It all ended in half an hour.

By the time they were on their way, it was already dawn.

Silently set off, went directly out of the nearest south gate of Chengdu, and walked about twenty miles to the south, Captain Lu stopped, turned back to everyone, and said, "Next, cheer up the spirit!" Everyone made a promise.

Then a whole three hundred people plunged headlong into the mountains of Shudi.

At the same time, the Chengdu commander also came to the camp early today and gathered 5,000 soldiers to fight in the countryside.

At this moment, the 5,000 people on the school field are standing quite neatly, and there are occasional voices of people talking.

"Be quiet!" Commander Shi said loudly from the stage.

It's quieter down there.

Shi commanded: "Although our departure time is in the afternoon, but I called you all here so early to tell you that this time we will cooperate with the forward battalion of the Northern Army to suppress bandits, although we are a local army, although we cannot compare with the heroes of the Northern Army in terms of combat power, but we must understand that it doesn't matter if we are not as good as heroes, as long as we work hard, we will be worthy of Your Majesty and worthy of the imperial court!" Recently, this commander has been in the camp of the heroes of the Northern Army many times to observe, and this commander is really deeply ashamed, and this commander has also thoroughly understood that the four words of military discipline that he had only heard in rumors in the past were really seen this time. The elite of the Northern Army, as long as they go to that station, no matter where they stand, no matter how many people there are, they are all neat and tidy when they look horizontally, vertically, and obliquely. Those 300 heroes, I think it's okay to do at least 3,000 of us. ”

"I'm ashamed, the soldiers I brought are compared with the Northern Army, which is the difference between cloud and mud. But I'm glad I've seen these heroes in my life, and if I can ask more of myself and you in the future, that's the influence of these heroes on me..."

Commander Shi said this in front of the five thousand village warriors, this is what he really wants to share with these township warriors these days of his life. He saw amazing heroes.

He thought that the overwhelming momentum of the soldiers of the Northern Army was impossible for him to have in his life.

But he can still get closer to them and get closer to them, learn from them, even if he will never learn a hundredth of them.

"How many of you came to serve as soldiers just to eat? I think at least half of you. I know that you are different from the heroes of the Northern Army, they joined the army because of glory, because they want to become a member of the powerful Northern Army of the Great Song Dynasty, and they can gain the respect of others wherever they go in the future. And most of you are just here to eat.

But it doesn't matter, you can also work hard, as long as everyone works hard, you can pat your chest and say, we are worthy of the salary we get, and we are worthy of the trust and cultivation of our parents and fellow villagers. Then I, as the commander, will be satisfied. Actually, it doesn't matter if I'm satisfied, the key is whether you can find pride in life from what you've done, that's the most important thing..."

Commander Shi spoke at length for a few hours, and said that the countryside in front of the house below was drowsy, from the dawn of the day to the three poles of the sun.

Finally stopped to drink water, and many of the dozing people below were standing and many were asleep.

Commander Shi, who stopped, looked carefully, just sighed helplessly, sat down on the chair next to him, and looked at these villagers below with hatred.
