Chapter 49: Cronies
When he came out from behind the big tent of the Chinese army, Chen Wang's footsteps were much calmer than before he walked in.
Along the way, Chen Wang was thinking back to what Cao Wenzhao said in the account and what he said.
By the time he walked not far from his military tent, Chen Wang had already figured out all the contexts.
He also understood how Cao Wenzhao saw his thoughts and why he was willing to help him and give him a chance to lead a battalion alone.
Many things in this world are not for nothing, Cao Wenzhao is indeed helping him, but at the same time, Cao Wenzhao is also helping himself.
Chen Wang looked around at the peaceful tent around him, his eyes were still bright in the darkness, and the last doubts in his heart disappeared.
Cao Wenzhao had the same purpose as him, and he wanted to swallow this Liao army.
It's just that what he wants is to lead a battalion, have greater autonomy, and try to develop.
And Cao Wenzhao wanted a cronie to master this Liao army as a strong reinforcement on the battlefield later.
In such a chaotic situation, the greater the military power in the hands, the better.
It's just that as a battalion, the number of soldiers in each battalion is fixed, and the number of soldiers in a battalion can only be less and not more.
If there are too many, they will definitely be impeached, and what supports the army and is self-respecting, what is ill-intentioned, a few pieces of music will be folded, and the white ones will also be said to be black.
Although they will not be sentenced to rebellion, they will most likely be dismissed from their posts.
And the imperial court will only pay so much military salary, and even deduct it, how can it be raised.
The retreat turned into its swift wind, outflanked its Xu Rulin, endangered the people, invaded like fire, and the friendly army was in difficulty and did not move like a mountain, but it was not only the Guanning army.
Cao Wenzhao has encountered similar situations many times, and he has not suffered defeat when he entered the Liukou.
Many times the army under his command was not defeated, and many of the friendly troops who were originally said to be responsible for covering the flanks were either immobile or scattered at the moment of encountering the enemy.
If there is a person who can trust to lead another battalion of soldiers, he can at least feel much more at ease in the process of attacking and suppressing the army, and can also relieve the huge pressure, instead of worrying that the friendly army will not move like a mountain, or flee like the wind.
In fact, Cao Wenzhao originally wanted Cao Bianjiao to take over the remnants of the cavalry under Zhang Waijia.
After all, Cao Bianjiao himself is a general, so he can naturally lead a battalion alone, but if Cao Bianjiao leaves, the cavalry in the battalion can only be led by Cao Wenzhao himself.
Moreover, in the battle of Hutou Town, Cao Bianjiao's rash advance made Cao Wenzhao a little worried.
Cao Dingjiao also had to command the infantry team, and at the same time be in charge of military rations, ordnance, etc.
All the logistical affairs in the battalion are managed by Cao Dingjiao, and they are also missing.
Just when Cao Wenzhao was thinking, Chen Wang asked to see him at this time, so that Cao Wenzhao had a plan in an instant.
Chen Wang has followed him since the first year of Chongzhen, and his own family Guangning Chen and his in-law Guangning Hu family have many people as family members under his command, and Chen Wang is his personal guard.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the relationship between the generals and the family was very close, one was prosperous, the other was lost, and they lived and died together.
Will be like a mountain, even if the Lord will let him die, he will never frown.
In the Ming Dynasty, the family was almost the same status as the people of the same clan, and some generals even called the father and son as their righteous son in order to make the relationship between the family and them closer.
After many generals died in battle and committed suicide at the end of the Ming Dynasty, few of their families surrendered, and most of them died in battle or committed suicide.
Cao Wenzhao didn't have any hobby of accepting righteous sons, and Chen Wang had followed him for eight years, and countless charges, and even sacrificing their lives to protect them, had already won Cao Wenzhao's trust.
In Cao Wenzhao's eyes, Chen Wang is his cronies, and he is still the kind with a hundred loyalty.
Cao Wenzhao naturally had no way of knowing that the Chen Wang he was familiar with had actually disappeared long ago, and was replaced by a soul from hundreds of years later.
So after Chen Wang invited him to meet, Cao Wenzhao directly finalized the matter for him.
In the previous battle of Hutou Town, as well as the follow-up training, as well as the Battle of Pizhou, Chen Wang showed outstanding ability.
Observant, fearless in the face of danger, not chaotic in the face of war, and clearly organized, you can be a pioneer or a Chinese army.
The training is well-organized, the old man is serious, the advance and retreat are measured, the civil and military are both civil and military, and there is the talent to lead a battalion.
The cool breeze blowing from the northwest blew around Chen Wang, and as soon as the wind blew it, Chen Wang felt that his consciousness was awake again.
The cool breeze took away a hint of heat, Chen Wang slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and stepped forward again.
The family member standing outside the tent noticed Chen Wang coming, and immediately knelt down on one knee and bowed silently, before standing up and opening the curtain for Chen Wang.
Chen Wang bowed slightly, and just walked into the tent.
The people in the tent, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately stood up.
Chen Gong, Hu Zhili, Hu Zhiyi, and Tang Shiping have all been waiting for Chen Wang's news.
"Big brother, what's the situation?"
"Brother Wang, what did the general say?"
The four of you said a word, and the buzzing sound all came into Chen Wang's ears in an instant.
"Did the chief soldier promise to help?"
"Brother Wang......" "Big Brother ......"
Chen Wang hurriedly pushed everyone away and shouted in a low voice.
"A deputy general, three hundred generals, all under his hands are in charge of hundreds of people, one or two are not stable at all, all of them are noisy and shouting."
Chen Wang sat back on the chair and poured a cup of tea into the wooden bowl on the table next to him.
"Sit down."
Chen Wang drank all the tea in the bowl and pointed to the chair in the tent.
After the four of them sat down, a smile tugged at the corner of Chen Wang's mouth, and he spoke slowly.
"When the paperwork of the Wheel of Praise comes down, you can call me a thousand households."
When Chen Wang's voice fell, Hu Zhili had already stood up and said in surprise.
"Brother Wang, you have been promoted to three levels in a row."
"Obediently, try 100 households directly over 100 households and deputy 1000 households, and seal 1000 households."
Hu Zhili sat down, couldn't help but slap his thigh again, and smacked his tongue.
"Wait."
Chen Gong and Hu Zhili are the same age, they are only twenty-three years old, but he is much more stable than Hu Zhili, and he stretched out his hand to stop Hu Zhili, who was still about to speak.
"Brother Wang's two battles are meritorious, and it stands to reason that he can only be promoted to two levels to the deputy thousand households."
"Now that I have been promoted three levels in a row, I have been promoted to the official of thousands of households, it is not ......"
Chen Gong's complexion changed slightly, and he grasped the key to it.
Generally speaking, there is only one possibility for unconventional promotion, and that is to match the position awarded to the battalion officer later.
Chen Wang put down the wooden bowl in his hand and smiled relaxedly.
"There are only 900 people left in the Qi military camp under Zhang Waijia, and when I get to Chunhua, I will be the head of Qian, and I will temporarily receive the 900 horsemen in the camp."
Chen Wang was still sitting in his place, but the four people sitting in the tent all stood up.
The eyes of the four of them were filled with eagerness.
In the past two months, Chen Wang has served as the general manager of 100 and the general manager from a family member, and now he has been promoted two levels in a row to the general manager of 1,000.
He was also authorized to temporarily command a battalion, and everyone knew very well that as long as he could make enough meritorious deeds in the future, he could be promoted to guerrilla!
When the time comes, you can rightfully lead a battalion of soldiers.
What is the reason why they serve as soldiers and eat food?
The first nature is to recover the homeland and retake the mountains and rivers.
But the second is to honor the ancestors and seal the wife and son!
