Chapter 78 Passing the trial automatically asks for help
"It's still the general who is wise, and his subordinates admit defeat. The stout man on Shen Zheng's right had a bitter look on his face.
Shen Zheng came down and patted Jian Chen, who was stunned, and pressed him to the square stool.
He pointed to the emaciated man beside him, "He is General Ben's military advisor, Vice General Cai Pingyu." Then he pointed to the distressed man on the other side, "He is the vanguard of General Ben, Zhang Chao." They are all capable generals of Ben. ”
Chen Jianhu looked at Shen Zheng suspiciously and did not speak.
Cai Pingyu stepped forward and said with a smile, "The three of us made a bet about your visit this time, if you are suspected of being a fine work, will you beg for mercy in every possible way or will you fight for reason." General Shen and I both bet that you would die to admonish each other, but Zhang Xianfeng insisted that you would ask for your own life, so he lost this bet. For seven days, he had to make our beds and fold quilts for us, which is why he was distressed. ”
Zhang Chao scratched his head and said unwillingly, "Grandma, I'm a big man, let me do this, it's really-"
Shen Zheng smiled, but Cai Pingyu withdrew his smile, "The imperial court has always had a custom that if some death row prisoners can be accommodating, they will be assigned to the frontier to enrich the army. But such death row prisoners coming to the barracks will definitely do more harm than good. Most of the death row inmates were street bullies, not only for evil, but also greedy for life and fear of death, and sometimes there were people who went to the battlefield but escaped temporarily, which directly affected General Shen's layout. Therefore, General Shen once reacted to the imperial court and did not want to accept these death row prisoners, but the powerful people in the imperial court made a profit, and General Shen did not respond to the emperor's repeated performances. Therefore, General Shen had no choice but to come up with a way to organize the death row prisoners assigned to the army into a separate battalion, which was managed by Tang Ling. Tang Ling is a person who is good at seeking personal gain, and for those who have filial piety to him, he will be organized into a better team, and those who are upright and do not know how to flatter will be organized into the vanguard team. General Shen just used him to understand that the people of the vanguard army were talents who could be used. After you arrived in the vanguard army, your behavior has been under our supervision, General Shen felt that you were extraordinary from the first time he saw you, and learned that you were the righteous hero in the mouth of the people of Pingyang, General Shen felt that you could be worthy of the great responsibility. Let Tang Ling tell you that you don't need to participate in investigating the enemy's situation, in fact, it is also a test for you, to see if you are really greedy for life and afraid of death. Now, you are not only brave and strategic, breaking into the enemy camp alone, but also not afraid of power, fighting with reason in front of General Shen, so General Shen is very satisfied with your appearance. ”
Cai Pingyu's words made Jian Chen suddenly realize something. "So, Vanguard Ranks, there are your people?"
Shen Zheng smiled, "It seems that you have already noticed." Yes, Chen Zhongliang is the person sent by General Ben to the death row camp to observe the death row prisoners. I also gave him the medicine for that drunken dream. However, the medicine was fake, and it was only a tentative effect. ”
Shen Zheng's so-called method made Chen Jian feel very uncomfortable. "According to the general, those loyal death row prisoners were sent by the general to risk their lives to find out the enemy's situation?
Shen Zheng sighed, "The military aircraft is a big deal, and there is no way to do it." The general wants to put an end to the risks that may be foreseen. ”
Cai Pingyu walked over and said, "After these days of observation, General Shen has decided to take you under his command, and you don't have to go back to the death camp." ”
Chen Jian arched his hand and said, "Thank you for the general's love, Chen Jian's temperament is not suitable to stay in the general's camp, it is better to go back and join the brothers of the pioneer army." Moreover, the movement of the enemy this time Chen Jian has not yet been ascertained, and he cannot stay here with peace of mind. ”
"I can also bring the death row prisoners of the vanguard army with me, and the general will send someone to find out the enemy's movements, so you don't have to bother. Shen Zheng looked at Jian Chen, a little unhappy in his heart.
Chen Jian thanked the general for his kindness, but Chen Jian still couldn't agree. ”
"Stinky boy, General Shen has tolerated you everywhere, don't be ignorant!" Zhang Chao opened his throat and shouted at Jian Chen.
"General Shen's order is a military order, do you want to disobey the military order?" Cai Pingyu reminded Jian Chen on the side.
Seeing Shen Zheng's bad face, Jian Chen smiled bitterly, "Jian Chen doesn't dare, Jian Chen only hopes that the general can give me a few more days, and after I find out the situation of the enemy army and ensure the safety of the brothers in the death row camp, Jian Chen should come back to receive military justice." ”
"You've only known them for half a month, and you're ignoring General Ben's orders for them?" Shen Zheng was puzzled by Jian Chen's decision.
"In addition to the five elder brothers of the pioneer army, although the other death row prisoners Chen Jian have never met, but everyone finally picked up a life to come to this camp, Chen Jian must not just seek self-protection and abandon them. Moreover, the whereabouts of the enemy army this time are unknown, and for the sake of the overall situation, Chen Jian must go back to investigate the enemy again. ”
"You've alarmed them, how easy is it to explore again?" Shen Zheng shook his head.
"It's man-made, even if you can't find out the truth in the end, I believe that with Jian Chen's martial arts, it is by no means difficult to monitor the movements of the enemy. ”
Looking at the upright and stoic death row prisoner in front of him, Shen Zheng's heart moved, "Well, if you insist on this, General Ben will send a small team to assist you in reconnoitring the enemy." ”
"The soldiers around the general have their own tasks, and assigning them to Jian Chen will disrupt the general's deployment, but if the general agrees, Jian Chen has a reluctant request. ”
"Tell me about it. Shen Zheng was interested.
"I hope that the general will temporarily hand over the management of the death row camp to Chen Jian, and after Tart Xue retires, Chen Jian will return the management of the army to the Tang battalion commander. ”
"Do you want to use the soldiers of the death row camp to complete the mission of exploring the enemy?" Shen Zheng looked at Jian Chen suspiciously, he refused to be a strong soldier of his own army, but would rather have a group of rabble?
Chen Jian nodded and said, "Chen Jian's rule of the army is mainly to rectify military discipline, even if it is not to visit the enemy, in case the tart snow attacks, at least it can reduce casualties." ”
"Are you really confident that you can manage this scattered sand?" Shen Zheng was still skeptical.
"Whether it's successful or not, at least I've had no regrets after trying. Jian Chen's tone was firm.
"Oh well. Seeing that Jian Chen had made up his mind, Shen Zheng decided to agree.
Rectifying military discipline, no matter what the result is, will benefit oneself and do no harm.
"Brother Cai, you go with Jian Chen to announce General Ben's order. Before the retreat of the Tart Xue army, all the soldiers in the death row camp obeyed Chen Jian's dispatch, and if they did not comply, they would be dealt with by military law. ”
Cai Pingyu glanced at Jian Chen meaningfully, then nodded lightly and walked out of the room.
"It shouldn't be difficult for you to leave the barracks, why do you want to stay here?" On the way, Cai Pingyu looked at Chen Jian, who was silent, and asked.
"Jian Chen didn't want to be a deserter. In a calm tone, Jian Chen looked into the distance and replied to Cai Pingyu calmly.
"The battlefield is treacherous, and it's not so easy to stay in. Cai Pingyu sighed.
"How long has Junshi Cai been following General Shen?" Seeing that Cai Pingyu seemed to have something on his mind, Jian Chen couldn't help asking.
"Actually, it's not long. To be able to stay by the side of such a brave general, as a soldier, it is not in vain to come to this battlefield, but General Shen-"
Cai Pingyu wanted to speak and stopped, but Jian Chen heard that there was something in his words.
"As the head of an army, General Shen is understandable to be cautious. ”
"You actually know what I'm trying to say?" Cai Pingyu looked at Jian Chen in surprise.
"I've only met General Shen twice, and I'm deeply affected by his suspicions, how can you not know why you've stayed by his side for many years?" Jian Chen lazily explained.
"Since you know that he is suspicious, why are you still so honest with him?" Cai Pingyu was puzzled.
"Chen Jian has always acted according to his heart, and he doesn't want to worry too much about others. ”
"Really?" Cai Pingyu's eyebrows suddenly flashed a trace of fluctuation, "With your temperament, you have to be careful in the future." ”
"What does Cai Junshi mean?" Jian Chen was still waiting to ask, but Cai Pingyu closed his mouth and stopped talking.
Along the way, the two stopped talking, but returned to the death row camp in silence.
In the death row camp, Cai Pingyu left in a hurry without stopping for a moment after reading Shen Zheng's military order.
Tang Ling was deprived of the right to govern the army, but he didn't seem to care, he nodded beside Jian Chen, "Battalion Commander Chen, I've been bothering you these days." ”
Jian Chen glanced at him, "Battalion Commander Tang laughed, I am not the battalion commander, I am just temporarily acting as a temporary authority for a few days." ”
Tang Ling smiled all over his face, "What I said is what I said." ”
Jian Chen turned his head and quietly looked at the hundreds of soldiers below.
These people, although they lined up, had no military discipline at all.
or leaning over, or bowing their heads, or looking around, or simply pointing at him.
A nameless fire rose in his heart, and Jian Chen frowned, "You all listen, before the retreat of the Tart Snow army, I will temporarily take over the power of governing the army." During my time in charge of the army, no matter what you did before, no matter what you do now, all your posts must obey my arrangement, be reassigned, and if there is any non-compliance, military law will deal with it!"
Jian Chen's words quickly caused a burst of muttering.
When Tang Ling heard this, he was a little flustered, "Camp Commander Chen, it's better to move their respective positions." ”
"Camp Commander Tang, is this questioning my decision?" Jian Chen stared at Tang Ling, his eyes full of coldness.
Unconsciously shuddered, Tang Ling hurriedly turned his smile, "Don't dare, don't dare." ”
Jian Chen turned his head and said sharply, "At dusk today, everyone will gather here, and I will conduct a physical examination of you in turn, and reassign your posts according to your table!"
Tang Ling saw that Jian Chen didn't take himself seriously at all, although he muttered in his heart, but it was not easy to have a seizure, so he could only leave in a huff.
Seeing that Jian Chen had finished giving orders, the assembled soldiers returned to their residences one by one with bitter faces.
When everyone was almost gone, the people of the vanguard army surrounded them.
"Jian Chen, what the hell is going on, how could you?" Chen Zhongliang looked puzzled.
"I have told General Shen about this visit to the enemy, and General Shen also supports me to investigate the enemy situation again, and handed over the death row camp to me as a backup. ”
"Backup, if only they didn't hold you back. Qian Shouzheng muttered.
