Chapter 443: A Grasshopper on a Rope (Medium)
1. Chen Ao did not follow Zhao Ling's advice and went to Cao Yi to ease the relationship. Zhao Ling didn't know the true relationship between the two of them, so he couldn't understand Chen Ao's disgust and jealousy of Cao Yi at all.
That night, Chen Ao met with ten commanders of the military capital in the tent and got to know each other. Lin Feng introduced Chen Ao one by one. Chen Ao didn't have such a good memory, and in the end, he only remembered three or two people.
Chen Ao knew that the next war would depend on these people to play an important role, so he was very warm and polite to them. Since it was wartime, it was strictly forbidden to drink alcohol at will. But Chen Ao still managed to get a bag of good wine, although he couldn't drink it all-you-can-drink, but everyone could still get over the addiction to alcohol.
Although Lin Feng felt that such an approach was very problematic, Chen Ao was his boss after all. With a leader taking the lead, it's not easy to say anything to a lieutenant. After the wine, everyone quickly became acquainted with each other, and relaxed a lot, and the original restraint disappeared.
These people have been in the army for many years and have a lot of bad habits. It's just that because he didn't understand the temper of Chen Ao, the new official, he deliberately restrained a lot. Now I see that Chen Ao does not have any arrogance, but is easy-going. So their true nature was gradually released, and as soon as they spoke, they banged on the table and hit the chair, and their mouths were full of "fucking" swearing.
Fortunately, Chen Ao has been walking on the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he has lived with the people of the Salt Gang for a long time, so he can accept this style.
However, Lin Feng has the demeanor of a Confucian general, although he knows the habits of these people under him, he feels that it is a little wrong to be so casual in front of the coach. He couldn't help but scold, which made the tent quiet.
Lin Feng said again: "This time His Majesty sent us as the striker, which is the greatest trust and test for us. You all have to be careful, if you go on a business trip, I won't be able to protect you!"
The crowd agreed. Yao Zhou, the commander of the Ma Army, smiled and said, "General Lin, you can rest assured." When did we brothers fall off the chain?"
Yao Zhou is a shrewd and capable young man, his kung fu is very handsome, he is very brave in battle, and he is brave and strategic, and he is also a rare general.
Lin Feng shook his head, and said with a straight face: "The arrogant soldiers will be defeated, Yao Zhou, you have also been a commander for two years, have you even forgotten this truth?"
A bearded man next to him actually patted Lin Feng on the shoulder and said with a smile: "General Lin, we only set off today, so don't say these frustrating words." We've beaten the fucking Khitan dog a few times, so there's nothing to worry about!"
Chen Ao turned his head to look and recognized that it was Chu Dazhuang, the commander of the infantry army. This man is short and stocky, almost thirty or forty years old, illiterate in big characters, and has gone from a small soldier step by step to today, and has rich combat experience.
Chen Ao did not want to suppress everyone's emotions on the first day of the army, especially this spirit of revolutionary optimism, which in some cases is a rare spirit. He waved his hand, stopped Lin Feng's words, and said with a smile: "General Lin, I see that everyone has a lot of experience in battle formations, and they will definitely not be careless." Let's drink this wine here tonight, and the next time, I hope it's at the celebration feast!"
The crowd said yes in an uproar. After drinking a bag of spirits, Chen Ao told them to go back to their tents early to rest so that they could march tomorrow. When Chen Ao returned to the tent, he saw that Zhao Linglong Qingping had already walked out from behind the screen.
The two of them are not only Chen Ao's confidants, but also his right-hand men. Chen Ao drank some wine, a little excited, took the two of them and sat down, and said with a smile: "How is it, how did you feel on the first day of marching and fighting?"
Long Qingping sighed and said, "Is this a march to fight? It's just a day's walk." ”
Chen Ao laughed twice and said, "This is to blame Cao Yi, he must be scared and wants to delay as much as possible." ”
Hearing him mention Cao Yi, Zhao Ling couldn't help but say, "When are you going to go to Cao Yi?" I'm worried that if this continues, he will definitely find you more trouble!"
Chen Ao waved his hand, not caring. As a result, in the next few days, Cao Yi really brought him a lot of trouble. The root cause is that Cao Yi didn't really want to go to the front line, and in his impression, at this time, the Liao State was not able to enter the Central Plains. Therefore, he felt that even if he did not appear on the battlefield, it would not affect the course of history.
Therefore, Cao Yi tried his best to slow down the march. Although Chen Ao was annoyed, he was also very helpless. After all, Cao Yi was born as a gangster, and he always had all kinds of excuses. But in the end, if the fighter plane is delayed, the board will hit Chen Ao, the coach, again. Chen Ao was very worried about this.
After walking for two more days, I entered the boundary of Kaithoku Province. Kaide Mansion is also known as Lanzhou, the terrain is dangerous, there is a tributary of the Yellow River in the north, as a natural barrier, it is a place where soldiers must fight since ancient times. Now, Lanzhou has become an important military town, and the garrison troops in the city are busy day and night, and the accumulated grain and grass are constantly transported to the places where the war is tight in front.
Chen Ao led his army into Lanzhou, intending to rest for the night and advance north tomorrow. Who knew that at this moment, another battle report came from the front line, saying that the soldiers and horses of the Southern Courtyard of Liao State commanded Xiao Tzu Rin's troops to surround Dingzhou and Hejian, surround but not fight, and led Cangzhou soldiers and horses to help. As a result, Empress Dowager Xiao personally led the army, copied the back road of reinforcements, and took advantage of the situation to seize Cangzhou. After breaking Cangzhou, there will be no big cities and big fus on the east road. The Liao army can either drive southward for a long time, or it can move westward, forming a north-south attack on Hejian and Dingzhou.
Chen Ao couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw the news. Zhao Ling looked at the map on the wall, and couldn't help but turn pale, and muttered: "The action is so fast......
Chen Ao knew that if he delayed any longer, he was afraid that the Liao army would come to him. If this continues, the so-called vanguard will completely lose its role. So he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to Cao Yi, wanting to have a good talk with this grasshopper on the same rope.
Cao Yi lives in a courtyard in the inn, surrounded by Axe Gang men standing guard. Chen Ao couldn't help but sneer, in the army, there are still so many guards, and the little gangsters are the little gangsters!
Chen Ao walked straight to the door, looked at Elder Mo, and asked, "Is Cao Yi there?"
Seeing that Chen Ao was alone, Elder Mo led him into the house. Cao Yi was lying on the chair, and out of nowhere he found two old men who knew how to massage, and then rubbed his legs.
Chen Ao couldn't help but sneer: "Cao Yi, you can enjoy it." If I hadn't known your details, I really wouldn't have imagined that you would have been a drug dealer before!"
Cao Yi raised his eyes and saw him, so he waved his hand and asked everyone in the house to go out. He didn't want anyone to know what he was doing.
After such a long time, Cao Yi still had a grudge against Chen Ao for burning the Bliss that he had worked so hard to refine, but his anger had subsided a little, and he was not so angry. He said coldly, "What is General Chen doing here?"
Chen Ao pulled over a chair and sat down, and said straight to the point: "Cao Yi, what do you want to do? We are grasshoppers on a rope now......
"You're the grasshopper!"
Chen Ao was helpless and said, "Okay, Cao Yi, can we put aside the past festivals and talk about it well?"
Cao Yi sneered: "You burned my hard work for more than half a year, and you just brought it over with this sentence?"
Chen Ao couldn't help but say angrily: "Why did you kill me, I haven't settled this account yet! Besides, if you hadn't made me addicted to drugs this time, I would have burned your warehouse!"
Cao Yi also scolded: "If you didn't have to investigate the case, I wouldn't have killed you." Let's calculate this account separately, and this time it was you who seduced my woman first!"
"Is Yunlu your woman? She assassinated the emperor in the first place, weren't you busy clearing up the matter?"
Cao Yi was silent and sighed. Counting it, the grievances between the two are really indescribable. The two took a breath and calmed down. Chen Ao said again: "Cao Yi, you also said that we are half a fellow countryman in this world. As the saying goes, peace is a win-win situation, and fighting is a loss. Let's make the same boat, you don't want to capsize together, do you?"
Cao Yi snorted, agreeing with Chen Ao's words. Chen Ao continued: "Let's just say this time, since we are leading the forward team together, if we delay the march of the army like this, you are not afraid of delaying the fighter?"
