Chapter Seventy-Three: Lifting People
"In Li Tao, Xiaheyuan, I have seen Mr. Chen, thank you for leading the troops to quell the rebellion and save your life!"
Is this a man-faire?
In Chen Junye's imagination, to be able to achieve fame, it should be at least ten years of hard study, and a certain amount of luck to be admitted, not to mention that he is over half a hundred taels old and has white temples, at least he must be an elder who is older than Bai Yuanjie, right?
But he looked left and right at this handsome young man in blue shirt who bowed his hands, and no matter how he thought, he couldn't connect him with the lifter.
It looks like he is about the same age as Chen Mu, and he is not as young as he is!
The first time he dealt with a meritorious and famous lifter, Chen Mu didn't say that he was cramped, but he was somewhat unaccustomed to it, and said with some embarrassment after clasping his fists and saluting: "This Li Juren, you don't have to be polite, what are you looking for Chen?" ”
Chen Mu sighed at Li Tao's youth, and Li Tao also felt that Chen Mu was very young.
"Chen Zongqi doesn't have to be polite, Xiaomin's word is on the right, and the general flag saved my life, so there is a secret situation to repay the general flag for saving my life, and there is also a matter of asking for each other." Li Tao arched his hand, he didn't see any arrogance on his face, and his clothes were down, and he really didn't look like he was born in a wealthy family, but he was polite and polite, which made people feel good.
In fact, for Chen Mu, he was sleepy and sent a pillow, he was trying to find a teacher for Wei Balang, but he didn't know anyone with knowledge, and there were only some Qiu Ba around him for half a year, where was there such a connection.
Now that this Li Tao has appeared, it is undoubtedly the right time for Chen Mu - he is a lifter, and he still doesn't know a few scholars who have nowhere to make a living?
What's more, Li Tao is very young, in Chen Mu's past experience, the younger he steps into the official career, the longer he has time to take a few more steps in the officialdom, especially an upstart like ancient times, which is the best choice to make friends.
Especially since he doesn't look like he was born rich and noble, he must have learned from others.
Although the identity of the person in Chen Mu's heart is a little higher than his general banner, it is a good situation for him to get acquainted with each other in such a situation.
Chen Mu smiled: "Li Juren, please say, what can Chen help you?" ”
"When the official army and the thief army were fighting, the thief leader ordered dozens of thieves to push the property and carts and wait to go west into the mountains, if Chen Zongqi chased now, he should be able to catch up!" Li Tao showed Chen Mu the way, and then said: "In the next invitation, there are villagers who have been plundered and entangled in the stolen goods, and there are also books needed to enter Beijing to take the exam in the next year, and I hope that the general flag can be retrieved from hard work." ”
"Among them, the money, in consultation with the villagers, can take five points to the general banner to sympathize with the dead and wounded soldiers of his subordinates, what does the general flag think?"
Sounds like a lot of money.
For a moment, all kinds of considerations flashed in Chen Mu's heart, and finally hugged his fists and said: "Li Juren, this matter is not for Chen to decide, please follow me to see Qianhu." ”
Chen Mu didn't think that there was little money, but he was worried that there was a lot of money, this group of rebels didn't know whether they had plundered the village or the city, if they took a few dozen taels and gave them to the flag army to subsidize their families, it would be nothing, but if it was a few hundred taels or thousands of taels, could he still take it?
Compared with these silvers, Li Tao himself is more important in Chen Mu's eyes.
It's better to put the matter on Bai Yuanjie to decide.
"There are still rebels in the mountains?"
Bai Yuanjie narrowed her eyes, immediately got up and opened her hand, she wanted to assign Chen Mu, but as soon as the words came out, she stopped and called the two sergeants of the barbarian camp under her subordinates, and said: "You go quickly to gather the banner army of General Chen's subordinates, don't let them relax, Chen Zongqi, you take your headquarters into the mountains to attack the thieves." ”
After that, Bai Yuanjie bowed his hand to Li Tao and said: "Is it okay for Lao Li to raise people to go with him and lead the way for Chen Zongqi?" ”
Bai Yuanjie didn't have any other ideas, this kind of thing was naturally supposed to be done by Chen Mu, but with Li Tao, an outsider, present, if he asked Chen Mu to mobilize soldiers and horses and leave Li Tao, he was worried that Chen Mu would think more.
Li Tao surrendered when he heard this, and then Bai Yuanjie told Chen Mu a few words not to rush in, and then watched the two of them go to reorganize the army.
Chen Mu found that this Li Tao was really bold, and he could be calm and calm on the battlefield that had not yet been cleaned, and then his imagination was easy to let go - how long had Heyuan been in trouble by thieves, Li Tao was caught and captured by thieves, and he hadn't seen anything along the way.
Since you haven't been frightened crazy yet, being calm and calm is just what you should do.
Chen Mu's banner army was obedient to the guards, and the military order was passed over, and when Chen Mu and Li Tao walked to the battlefield from the valley mouth, they had already set out in the army formation under the command of the flag officers and prepared to set off.
"Chen Zongqi has only these soldiers, and there are more than forty or fifty thieves, why don't you find a thousand more households to ask for some soldiers and horses?"
The banner army and township bravely gathered together, and there were less than fifty people in the full fight, although they looked like the army in terms of clothing, armor, weapons and mental outlook, but the virtue of the guard army was ...... No matter how fierce Chen Zongqi is, he is also the guard army!
Li Tao was a little bottomless in his heart, he wanted to tell Chen Junye that he would have to enter Beijing to take the exam next year, and if he could enter the palace to take the exam, it would be too worthless to be here, right?
Chen Mu chuckled, and then waved his hand and said to several banner officers under him: "There are fifty or sixty small groups of traitors who fled into the mountains before, and received orders from thousands of households, go with me to fight with them, and bring back those who are willing to surrender." ”
Where could Li Tao have thought that Chen Junye was so confident, this self-confidence made him stunned, turned his head to look at the flag army, and thought that he was not a lady when he met someone, Chen Zongqi was a master of great joy, and the flag army under him would not always be like this.
Just thinking about it, several flag officers suddenly agreed, and each waved the flag with his own waist knife out of the sheath spear on his shoulder, and the bird gun held a firearm and stuffed gunpowder.
Li Juren regretted that his intestines were blue, which one of his self-proclaimed braves? Good and dignified to chase the traitor with this stunned general flag?
"Wait a minute, wait a minute!"
Seeing that Chen Mu couldn't persuade him to find Bai Qianhu to increase his troops, Li Tao left a sentence and ran away, and after a while, he came back and followed thirty or forty young men around him, and said to Chen Mu: "Chen Zongqi went to suppress the thieves, and I and the villagers of Heyuan can also help, I hope to allocate some soldiers, and we can work together with the officers and soldiers!" ”
"Haha! If Li Juren is here, the weapon is there, Fu Yuan! Take the lifter and the townsman to get some spear cards. ”
Chen Mu's eyes were bright, and he saw all this thoroughly, isn't this person Li Tao just worried that his banner army can't defeat the traitor? Look at this cautious energy, even the villagers have pulled up to fight, what are you doing, the people's army?
He really doesn't trust a big man, he has experienced more than a dozen battles in the past six months, although Chen Junye still hasn't figured out which of the soldiers in this world is stronger or weaker, but he at least knows what level his soldiers are.
I know more about my strengths and weaknesses.
The general banner army of Qingcheng Qianhusuo is not afraid of the close number of enemies and us, and is not even afraid of using fifty people to form a formation to fight seventy or eighty rebels.
What is he afraid of?
He was afraid of fighting a hundred rebels with fifty men and fifty guards.
As long as the friendly forces occupy half of the combat strength, and the enemy and our forces are equal, he basically cannot win this battle.
It's not that the rebels are strong, it's really that the guards are generally too vegetable, and the military formation is not broken by the enemy and scattered by their own people, where can this matter be reasonable?
