Chapter 29 The First Squad
Chapter 29 The First Team
Although they received Chen Kefu's guarantee again and again, even if it was Yi Wen Zhide, they could guarantee to persevere until the reinforcements arrived. However, even so, Yu Wenhua, who had already been scared, still refused to return to his tent.
In his opinion, since he can't leave for the time being, the safest place in the entire camp will naturally be Chen Kefu and other generals. If the Goguryeo people really break through the camp, he will also be able to run away with Chen Kefu and others. So although he felt very bored that a group of men sat in the tent in the middle of the night without talking about the wind and moon or drinking fine wine, he still sat in the tent with a silence and refused to leave.
As for the eldest son of the Yuwen family, it was naturally impossible for everyone to drive him away. He wanted to sit down, so he followed him. Everyone was just discussing the situation that might be faced and discussing various strategies that should be changed. Everyone treated the Taipu Temple Shaoqing completely as air and as not that individual.
Nearly an hour after the first time the news of the enemy was discovered, when everyone thought it was another false alarm, the sound of horse hooves of several riders drove to the vicinity of Chen Kefu and others discussing military information. Before a few people went out to check, Luo Lin opened the tent and came in and said, "Sir, the people from the first team are back, they have brought the news."
When Chen Kefu heard this, he immediately threw down the map in his hand and hurriedly walked out of the tent with a group of generals. As soon as he came out, the cavalrymen had just dismounted and drank a few big sips of water handed over by their comrades, calming down their breath of panting.
"What have you discovered? Tell me quickly." Chen Kefu looked at the fire with some anxiety, and the horse, who had been soaked in sweat, said.
The cavalry was a man in his thirties. He was followed by two young cavalrymen who were also wet with sweat. It was estimated that the captain was intercepted when he sent them back, so he sent three of them back in one go.
"General, we are the first team of rangers to discover the traces of the enemy cavalry. After the captain sent someone back to report the letter, we kept following the trace. Not long after, we caught up with each other, and the other side was only ten cavalry. We followed dozens of miles south to find that they had entered a valley. We followed and looked over and saw that there were about three thousand cavalry in the valley, without infantry. But we couldn't determine whether it was the vanguard of the Goguryeo people or all their forces. The captain asked the three of us to come back first to report to the general, and they continued to stay there to monitor the movement of the Goguryeo cavalry."
Chen Kefu patted his shoulder, "Good, what's your name?"
"General, I am from the first team of the Second Brigade of the First Regiment of the Pojun Camp. Our captain is Zhang Yong, my name is Zhang Meng. These two brothers who came back with me are Liu Da and Liu Er." The man said excitedly, wiping the sweat from his head.
"Is Captain Zhang Yong your brother?" Listening to the names of these four people, Chen Kefu knew that they must be two pairs of brothers. He looked really fierce when he looked at the guy's big.
Zhang Meng nodded, "Our seventh brothers, except for our sixth brother, who is still serving our mother at home, the other five brothers have been in the army with spears. We have been here twice in Liaodong City. Last time, my second brother was unable to go back. This time we must avenge him. Our captain Zhang Yong is my eldest brother, and my third brother and fourth brother are also in the same team as us. Now he is still guarding with my brother to monitor the movements of the Goguryeo people."
Chen Kefu did not expect that this was a family of seven brothers, and that the five brothers were all recruited into the same army, which was only possible in ancient times. However, he did not expect that he was like Mr. Li Benlei, a simple soldier who lost his relatives in the Liao Dynasty. He couldn't help but have a deeper understanding of the sentence "There were only one short sentence left in history books, "There were four expeditions of Goguryeo, and millions of casualties were killed or injured."
"You all have good things in the Zhang family. The information you discovered this time is very important. Everyone in the first team of the 2nd Brigade of the First Regiment will remember a great contribution. Work hard, and then let your Zhang family have four generals to shine on the lintel. As for your second brother's revenge, we will definitely avenge it. You are so tired, go down and have a good rest first. I will send someone to replace your brothers and others later." After saying that, he praised Liu Da and Liu Er, two young brothers, and asked them to go down and rest.
After everyone left, as soon as they returned to the tent, Lu Shishen could no longer control his mouth and said carelessly, "General, since he has found that the other party is hiding in the valley, why don't we take the opportunity to kill him and block them in the valley and catch turtles in a jar."
As soon as Lu Shishen said, several lieutenants were a little moved, and a kind of desire flashed in their eyes. Recently, after following Chen Kefu, they were so smooth. With three thousand people against ten thousand people, they almost won the field battle between 3,000 people, and they also snatched a big city without bloodshed, capturing nearly 20,000 Goguryeo troops. Each general who followed Chen Kefu was promoted and received so many rewards, which greatly stimulated their desires. So when they heard that only 3,000 people were only 3,000 people, and they were hiding in the valley, then if they were attacking in the night sky, they might really win. At least these officers who broke the barracks no longer felt that it would be difficult to fight against Goguryeo cavalry one-on-one.
If it was a night attack on the camp, then there would be no big casualties for 3,000 people, and they would be able to take down these 3,000 Goguryeo cavalry. This is a great achievement. Maybe everyone present can be promoted again, even if they cannot be promoted, there will be no less rewards. Faced with such temptation, the officers who rose from the bottom step by step were a little moved.
Chen Kefu saw everyone's thoughts. Although he was 100% sure to eat the cavalry hidden in the valley, he had already rejected this tempting idea. He is now the commander of the first army, not a team leader or captain. Every decision he made has to be considered more. Now the most important thing for them is the camp. After guarding the camp and successfully sending these supplies and capturing civilians to Liaodong City, it would be a great achievement.
Shaking his head, Chen Kefu said to everyone, "Now we have only discovered this team for the time being. We don't know if there are other people hiding nearby. What's more, our main goal now is to keep the camp firmly. Seeing small profits but not taking care of ourselves, this is a situation that every general should avoid. If one is not good, we may be trapped by the enemy's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. If there is any loss in the camp, it will not be worth the loss. Everyone, investigate the other party's intelligence and whereabouts. But we keep the camp firmly, and when the reinforcements arrive, we can compete with the other party on the battlefield again."
After saying that, he looked at the officers who were still a little moved, and said in a singular voice, "I have passed my order. Without my order, the military camp strictly prohibits the operation of privately. If you dare to commit crimes, I will strictly deal with it. Let's all disperse. Once the Eighth Regiment arrives, be warned tonight. The soldiers of the Eighth Regiment will rest and regain their energy first."
After the group of people dispersed, Chen Kefu also inspected the camp's strengthening defense work everywhere. Finally, he simply pulled Lu Shishen, Mao Yi, Chen Qing, Chen Feng, Chen Lin, Chen Huo, Chen Shan, Chen Fu, and Chen Gui, nine servants who came out of Chenjiazhuang. Now his subordinates and generals chatted with each other by a bonfire in the camp. For Chen Kefu, although these people were a little more brain-living, the other six guys were just like Lu Shishen. However, these people were Chen Kefu's confidants in this troubled times.
There were 15 regiments in Pojun Camp, and they brought nine regiments, so for these guys, he had to take some time to teach them. Since he had decided to form a team in this troubled times, these loyal families would be his greatest helpers. Especially in the early stages, only these people were the most reliable.
Just this bonfire, I used a wooden fork to bake a big cake. Although there was an enemy situation tonight, I couldn't drink alcohol, but everyone was having a lot of fun together.
The youngest Chen Qing smiled and said, "When we return to Chenjiazhuang in triumphantly, when you say that, Mao Bo found out that our general has become a third-rank official. Will you scare Mao Bo when you say that?"
Lu Shishen was chewing the fragrant roasted pancakes and laughed, "I don't know if Bo Mao was surprised or not. I know that the old man Niu in the village must be happy to die. The old man Niu's ancestors were from the village who had been digging food for more than ten generations. Now a fifth-rank son-in-law suddenly appeared. This is a high-ranking official of the same level as the prefect of Zhongjun. The old man had never seen the county magistrate in his life, but suddenly became the father-in-law of the fifth-ranking official. I dare say he must have fainted."
Chen Qing has been in love with Niu Erya, the daughter of the farm-tou old man Niu since he was a child. However, Niu has never been willing to agree in the past. Niu always thought that if one day a landlord like Chen Kefu fell in love with his daughter, even if he took it to be a child, then in the future, the life of his daughter and his old man Niu will be much stronger than marrying a small servant like Chen Qing.
Everyone laughed loudly, and even Chen Kefu opened his mouth and smiled happily, traveling through time. This was the first time he felt so relaxed and so integrated into this era. He no longer felt that he was just a spectator who was transcendent, but truly regarded himself as a Sui Dynasty person.
He was not alone in the Sui Dynasty. He had so many servants who had been with his family since childhood, as well as Mao Bo, who was as kind as his grandfather. Although he was not related by blood, these people were his relatives in this era. Even for these people around him, he had to find a place for everyone in this chaotic world. The night in the mountains and forests was still cool, but the whole night was no longer silent. With the bonfires burning everywhere, the sound of the trumpets of the people who were busy, in this mountain forest, it seemed that the gods and immortals were moved to a town with great magic power.
