Entering the Chinese military tent, only Cao Wenzhao, Cao Dingjiao and Chen Wang were the only three, and the rest of the people did not follow up.

After Cao Wenzhao finished conveying the military order, he paused for a moment to give Chen Wang some time to relax, and then asked bluntly.

"During this time, you seem to be very close to Governor Sun?"

Chen Wang's heart sank slightly, Cao Wenzhao could not be untargeted, and there must be other things in it.

During this time, he was indeed close to Sun Chuanting, who left, and Sun Chuanting, as the governor, was determined to rectify the health centers in various places, and now it has achieved initial results.

However, in more than a year, the four guards of Xi'an were almost fully replenished, and the number of troops in the garrison had exceeded 20,000.

Not only that, Sun Chuanting also trained troops extensively, and now the four guards and horses in Xi'an also have the strength to fight in the face of the Liukou.

After the first battle of Heishuiyu, Sun Chuanting went south to suppress Shangluo Mountain, and the bandits in Shangluo Mountain were exterminated by him.

Later, Sun Chuanting led the army and mixed 100,000 Ma Jinzhong, the Great Heavenly King Gao Jian and other battalions of old bandits who sneaked from Henan to fight in Weinan, and the victory was naturally Sun Chuanting, in which the guards also made a lot of achievements.

Sun Chuanting was also rewarded by Emperor Chongzhen for his outstanding military achievements, and his fame was all over the world, and he became a big noise for a while, attracting the attention of everyone in the world, and his prestige even overshadowed Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng and others.

Chen Wang's heart was slightly shocked, and he heard the reminder in Cao Wenzhao's words.

Sun Chuanting is upright, and it is not a good thing that he is in the limelight at this time.

is too close to Sun Chuanting, but I am afraid that I will be implicated in the future.

Sun Chuanting's position as governor of Shaanxi did not last long, and his career was not smooth, and he was even imprisoned for a time.

"Humble duty, I will definitely pay attention to proportions in the future."

Chen Wang lowered his head and replied sincerely.

Cao Wenzhao's face showed a little relief, and his eyes eased a lot when he looked at Chen Wang.

Chen Wang's age is similar to Cao Bianjiao, but he is not as impatient as Cao Bianjiao, and he is relatively calm.

If you can't see the virtuous, follow the advice like the stream, wide and strong, brave and calculating, this is called a general.

Knowing the proportions, knowing how to advance and retreat, and listening to advice, these things are really rare at Chen Wang's age, and he has listened to Chen Wang's several reminders.

However, since the first battle of Hutou Town, Cao Bianjiao has also changed a lot and calmed down a lot.

"At present, the situation is turbulent, and the situation above the court is changing, as military generals, it is better to stay as far away from the whirlpool as possible."

Cao Wenzhao closed his eyes and sighed lightly.

There is never a right or wrong division in the court, and those adults are only fighting for authority, and fighting for nothing but interests.

Sometimes Cao Wenzhao is thinking, do those adults really not see the worse and worse situation and the more turbulent world?

But no matter how much he thinks, he can't change the situation, he's just a town commander.

As a military attaché, he is destined to have no way to influence the country's decision-making from high above the temple, and all he can do is to act according to orders and kill thieves as much as he can.

"You're already the deputy chief of the town guard, and you claim that you don't need to be so humble when you meet me."

Cao Wenzhao opened his tired eyes and looked at Chen Wang, who was sitting down respectfully.

Chen Wang did not disappoint him, and even went further and did better than he expected.

"Hanzhong Town is now your commander, as a town general, you should have the prestige of a town general, and you must not be too humble in front of others, otherwise it will be difficult to stand up for prestige in the army."

Chen Wang's heart moved slightly, Cao Wenzhao said that he had helped him lead the horse before.

"The one who has the power of the army, the commander of the three armies, and the power of the commander."

"Will be able to hold the power of the army, the momentum of the army and the group, such as the tiger, plus the wings and soar all over the sea, as the ...... encountered"

Cao Wenzhao looked at Chen Wang and shook his head helplessly, and then opened his mouth to teach.

Chen Wang sat quietly on the chair, remembering the words Cao Wenzhao said word by word.

Cao Wenzhao's words were spoken for a long time, from the afternoon to dusk, for nearly an hour.

From the things that need to be paid attention to in the officialdom, to the details of the success or failure of the military battle array, to the rules that should be followed for the general's use of troops, and so on.

Chen Wang didn't have the slightest impatience, all Cao Wenzhao said was good words, and if he didn't really look at him as his back, how could he say so many things.

If it weren't for the fact that it was already dusk outside the tent, and the sergeant outside the tent came in with a fire fold to light the lamp, Cao Wenzhao would have continued.

"Tomorrow you will order all the troops and horses, and the day after tomorrow the fourth watch will pull out the camp and go south."

Cao Wenzhao left the camp with a final word of advice and did not stay any longer.

He did not stay in the camp of Dingjun Mountain, and simply said a few words of goodbye to Chen Wang, and then left the military tent and returned to the barracks of the headquarters.

Chen Wang sent Cao Wenzhao all the way to the gate of the camp, and still bowed respectfully when he parted.

"Congratulations to the General."

For Chen Wang, Cao Wenzhao is not only a former general, but also a mentor who guides him and helps him.

Cao Wenzhao calmly accepted the salute and raised the horsewhip to say his final goodbye.

Then he drove the war horse all the way north, and stopped until he was halfway through.

Cao Wenzhao looked back at the Dingjun Mountain camp behind him, and he saw that there was still a figure still standing at the gate of the Dingjun Mountain camp.

"Uncle ......"

Cao Dingjiao also saw the same scene, and he subconsciously called Cao Wenzhao.

But Cao Wenzhao turned a deaf ear to his shouts.

When the sun sets, the twilight is like ink, and the mountains are as black as iron, like the undulating sea.

The north wind howled, sweeping over the mountains and over the boundless fields.

The whistling wind resounded between the mountain roads and woodlands, and also reached Cao Wenzhao's ears

Cao Wenzhao's thoughts were involuntarily pulled back to ten years ago.

At that time, he was still an official in Liaodong, and it was also in October, which was the last time he recruited troops within the Chen and Hu clans.

It was at that time that Chen Wang joined the army and became his family member.

Ten years have passed, but Cao Wenzhao can still remember everything at that time.

……

Among the selected teams, all of them are young faces.

"Name?"

"Chen Wang."

"How old?"

"Seventeen."

"How many people are in the family, and where are the parents?"

"Four people, my father died, he died in Guangning in the second year of the Apocalypse, he guarded Xiping Fort, Xiping Fort was broken, and he was also killed by Tartars."

"My mother is still here, and I also have a younger brother, his name is Chen Gong, and we are going to be soldiers together."

Chen Wang let go of half of his body and pulled Chen Gong, who looked a little similar to him behind him, and replied.

"Since the elders are still here, then only one of you two brothers can be a soldier, this is the rule."

The recruiter shook his head and vetoed.

Cao Wenzhao has rules for recruiting soldiers, the elders are still there, and all brothers are not allowed to join the army, so they must leave one person to support their old age and pass on the incense.

On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, and no one knows whether it will survive or not.

This rule was finally broken by Cao Wenzhao himself, and the reason for everything was that Chen Wang finally said four words - "Don't share the sky".

Under the deep hatred and blood hatred, how can you coexist with the enemy in the same world?

From that day on, Cao Wenzhao remembered Chen Wang......

……

Cao Wenzhao shook his head, time was too long.

Nearly a decade has passed......

Cao Wenzhao is no longer the ambitious guerrilla he was at the beginning, thinking that he has changed everything.

Cao Wenzhao knows his ability very well, and he knows that what he can influence is only a very small part after all.

The current Chen Wang, just like him before, has the same ambition and feels that he can change the trend of the world.

It's just that Chen Wang now seems to be a little different from him at the beginning......

The spirit of these soldiers trained by Chen Wanglian is different from that of other soldiers, and it can be seen at a glance.

"Qi Jun, ......"

Cao Wenzhao lowered his eyes, the sky was dark, and no one could see his expression clearly.

The state affairs were difficult, and the situation was more severe than when Jiajing was in the beginning.

The adults above the temple still felt that everything was just a disease of scabies, and they all had a contemptuous attitude towards the Liukou and Jiannu.

It is clear that the front line has been defeated, and the situation is getting worse and worse every year.

But Da Ming still hasn't seen the slightest change, who doesn't understand the problem among those adults in the temple?

But not many of those people are willing to solve the problem at all, and even when there are people who are willing to shoulder the responsibility and want to eliminate the ills and solve the problem, they will be besieged by the masses.

Jingying has said countless rectifications, but it has not been improved in the slightest.

The caves of Liaodong have existed for decades, getting bigger and more dangerous, but the adults feel that they are nothing more than another Altan Khan.

Perhaps some people have discovered that the situation in Liaodong has gotten out of control and want to stop it.

But who dares to put it forward bluntly, no matter how many mouths are opened up and down the Manchu Dynasty, they are counting on the nearly 10 million taels of Liaoyu......

Cao Wenzhao raised his head and took one last look at the gate of the Dingjun Mountain Camp in the distance.

Chen Wang has won successive battles all the way, and even won the battle in Heishuiyu last year, so he is famous.

And the most important thing is that Chen Wang is not only outstanding in military ability, but also has unique insights in civil affairs and even ordnance.

Han Zhongwei's two thousand households are now developing in an orderly manner under its rectification, and gradually have the strength to fight.

Ordnance, marching, warfare, and tuntian seem to be ......

It really seems to be Qi Jiguang in the past......

It's just that......

The current situation of the dynasty is even if there is another famous general like Qi Jiguang.

There is no figure like Zhang Juzheng on the temple......

The sunset in the distance had completely set, and darkness had completely descended, enveloping Cao Wenzhao's figure and the soldiers around him.

Cao Wenzhao also turned his head, and no one noticed in the darkness that Cao Wenzhao's head was lower than before, and his back was more rickety than before.

"Alas......"

Thousands of thoughts and sorrows finally turned into a sigh, and were blown to the sky by the cold wind that swept in.

……

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The sky was just slightly cool, and the rumbling drum of gathering troops slowly sounded in the camp of Dingjun Mountain, and in the camp of the Ming army, which had been silent for a long time, it was already full of people in an instant.

Red streams surged out from all over the place under the call of drums, moving towards the central school grounds.

Chen Wangstrag rode his jujube red horse and stood on the outside of the camp.

Still wearing a moonlight helmet and a suit of fish scale armor, dozens of guards and armor riders followed closely behind him.

The drums of the army gathering in the north were to be sounded earlier, and Li Zicheng led his troops to Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province.

Sichuan Province is very empty, and the governor Wang Weizhang seems to be as timid as a mouse, a scholar who knows nothing about military affairs.

Hearing that the letter he wrote to Hong Chengchou asking for help even made Hong Chengchou furious and shocked.

No one knows the information in the letter, but it is enough to see that Kawauchi's form is extremely grim.

Yang Sichang, who is now the secretary of the Ministry of War, has just set a strategy of opening the net on four fronts, six corners and ten sides, and set an order to eliminate thieves within a time limit.

There will be chaos here immediately, isn't this slapping Yang Sichang's face?

Li Zicheng fled from Shaanxi to Sichuan, and although Sichuan Province did not fall under the jurisdiction of Hong Chengchou, it was inseparable after all.

If Chengdu falls, then Hong Chengchou's career may really be completely completed, and the trilateral governors are afraid that it will be easier to deal with others.

The army had already eaten its meal and had been waiting for a long time, and soon after the drum of gathering troops sounded, they completed the assembly, and then left the camp in an orderly manner under the leadership of their respective commanders according to the military order.

The county also needs to divide troops for defense, and this time Chen Wang brought a total of three troops and horses, one cavalry department and two infantry departments.

They are the First Cavalry Department under Chen Gong, the Third Infantry Department under Chen Ming, and the Fourth Infantry Department under Zhao Huailiang.

The three divisions were not originally fully staffed, but this expedition naturally drew some troops from the rest of the divisions into the team.

Now the three full editions are even slightly exceeded, with a total of more than 2,700 people.

Cao Wenzhao brought a total of more than 3,000 soldiers and horses to the south this time, and the number of troops was much more than at the beginning.

If Chen Wang and Cao Wenzhao combined, the strength of the army can be regarded as approaching the 6,000 mark.

More than 4,000 people from Hou Liangzhu and Cao Bianjiao, the two divisions of the Sichuan General Soldier in Sichuan, replied that they had already arrived at Zitong in Baoning Mansion and were entering Mianzhou.

Cao Wenzhao is under the command of Hong Chengchou, and although the soldiers and horses under Hong Chengchou's command have been strengthened several times.

But in fact, since the eighth year of Chongzhen, the total strength of Hong Chengchou's infantry cavalry has basically not exceeded 20,000.

At present, the main force under the command of Hong Chengchou is mainly composed of Zuo Guangxian, the general soldier of Ningxia, Zu Dabi, the general soldier of Ningxia, Wang Pu, the general soldier of Yansui, and the deputy general He Renlong, the general Sun Xianzu, Ma Ke, Gao Jie of the Chinese army, and the guerrilla Sun Shoufa, nearly eight battalions of soldiers and horses, but there are only 18,000 people in total.

Moreover, these 15,000 people still need to guard against various places and guard the key points, which naturally leaves a lot of soldiers, horses and manpower.

In fact, the only field troops that can be mobilized are the headquarters supervision battalion, Zuo Guangxian, He Renlong, Gao Jie and other battalions, totaling more than 7,000 people.

Soon after Cao Wenzhao left, Hong Chengchou also led his troops south, preparing to go south from Wenxian, that is, to enter Sichuan along Li Zicheng's road into Sichuan, and come from the west to block Li Zicheng's other way of life......

"After passing the court to Heishui Yujie, and then breaking the thief in Weinan, the Yu thief will not dare to go west."

"The thief broke in the northern plains of Xianyang, and the Qin thief did not dare to peep into the Jingchuan River to conquer Xi'an, and his prestige was almost in the inheritance."
