Soon after this battle ended, the school captain Wang Gendong sent three of his own soldiers to rush back to the camp of the water division by land through the village and the fields, otherwise this credit would not be much left behind by Cen Zheng and Bai Xiu.

More than six hundred were beheaded, and each soldier could be richly rewarded, so everyone was happy.

A team of people was responsible for cleaning up the battlefield, and a team of people was responsible for finding the bodies of the soldiers who were originally stationed at the Guanbu Wharf, Shen Leng found Wang Gendong and told him that it was best to send someone to the local county government to inform him of this matter immediately, and not wait for Cen Zheng to come.

After everything was arranged, Shen Leng sat down on the trestle bridge, leaning on the pillar and gasping slightly, he was the most critical point in this battle, he had to lead the water bandits to the ambush circle alive, it was easy to say, any small accident could send Shen Leng to the underworld.

Chen Ran sat down beside Shen Leng, and after being silent for a while, he said, "So this is what war looks like...... The last time we fought the water bandits, I thought it was the limit of killing, but now I know that it was just a shadow of killing. ”

Shen Leng patted Chen Ran on the shoulder: "Since you have chosen to join the army, I am afraid that this kind of scene will not be less in the future, Your Majesty wants a sailor not to patrol the rivers, but to Yang Fan's sea area, and it may be like this every day in the future." ”

Chen Ran's shoulders trembled: "We're all going to die." ”

He bowed his head: "No one can keep good luck all the time, once, twice, three times, dozens of times, thousands of times...... None of us can guarantee that we will always be victors, hundreds of victories on the battlefield are not the end, but one defeat is the end. ”

He let out a long breath: "There are a few people who can live until they return home." ”

Shen Leng said: "Don't hope that you can survive on the battlefield with good luck, unless you change your fame to good luck." ”

Chen Ran nodded: "I know, in the final analysis, you have to be strong enough." ”

Wang Kuohai and Dewey walked side by side from a distance, both of them were bloody, one tall and strong and the other lean and slender, looking a little strange harmony.

"Group rate."

Wang Kuohai sat down: "This time the battlefield is a little different from the last time. ”

"Hmm."

Dewey squatted down: "It's much more disgusting than the last time, it's the first time I know how people react because of fear or before they die......

Thinking of the frightened feces and urine incontinence before those bandits were killed, with snot and tears flowing down, Dewey felt sick to his stomach for a while.

"Tuanrate, what are you doing now?"

"Tell the brethren to remember their military exploits clearly, and not to touch anyone else's, but no one is allowed to touch ours."

"Yes!"

Dewey stood up to give the order, and it could be seen that he was now completely convinced by Shen Leng.

Chen Ran looked at Shen Leng: "The water bandits won't attack the official dock for no reason, right?" ”

Shen Leng snorted: "We will encounter such a thing." ”

Chen Ran frowned slightly: "There is no time to end?" ”

Shen Leng said: "Yes, I die, or that guy dies." ”

Chen Ran shrugged his shoulders as Shen Leng looked: "It's not good for me to die, it's weird to be painful, or is it better for someone else to die...... Strange, I was a little hungry, so I went to find something to eat. ”

Shen Leng stood up: "Together." ”

At this time, there was a whining horn sound in the distance, those few Xiongniu warships finally came, from the beginning to the end of the fight and now it has been almost an hour and a half, Xiongniu came so slowly, the root of the problem has been pointed directly at the Wupin Yongyi General Cen Zheng.

Shen Leng saw a few Xiongniu warships docking, and thought that there was one thing that he hadn't had time to do, so he ran to the side of the captain Wang Gendong and asked for the map and stuffed it into his arms, Wang Gendong looked uncertain: "What are you doing, you have to return it." ”

Shen Leng: "Lord Captain said that Shen Leng accidentally lost the map. ”

Wang Gendong: "Why bother? ”

Shen sneered: "It's useful, this is the eyes on the battlefield." ”

As he was talking, a team of pro-soldiers in the distance protected the brave general Cen Zheng and the general Bai Xiu, the expressions of the two people were completely different, Cen Zheng had a cold face and gloomy eyes, while Bai Xiu looked very happy, and there was no trace of impurities in his smile.

"Well done."

Bai Xiu spoke first and said: "This is the most beautiful battle fought since the establishment of the Navy Division, I will work with General Cen to repay your merits, I and General Cen already know what happened, you have played the prestige of our Navy Division, General Cen said, he will also reward you." ”

Shen Leng stared at Bai Xiu's eyes for a moment, and said in his heart, is this person really no problem? The eyes are so sincere, either they really have a clear conscience, or the city is too deep.

Cen Zheng snorted: "Although it is a good fight, but it is reported so late, it can be regarded as a delay in the fighter, and no matter how big the credit is, this mistake cannot be covered up." ”

Wang Gendong clenched his fists: "Humble duty knows mistakes." ”

Shen Leng frowned slightly, and something suddenly came to mind in his mind.

Cen Zheng's face softened after a few more lessons: "I have already sent someone to inform the county commander of Ningwu County, it seems that I will stay here for a day, and I will report the military merits to the Admiral, but before that, I will take some silver from the treasury of the official supplement wharf, Wang Gendong's standard battalion soldiers will be rewarded with five taels of silver each, the regimental rate will be rewarded with fifteen taels of silver, and the captain will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver." ”

Wang Gendong and the others clasped their fists neatly: "General Xie!" ”

Shen Leng paused for a moment, and actually asked stupidly: "How about the group rate reward of twenty taels of silver?" ”

Cen Zheng: "Huh?! ”

Shen Leng lowered his head: "When I didn't say it." ”

Cen Zheng was slightly angry: "I don't look like a soldier at all, I don't have a commander in my eyes, and I will deduct your reward of fifteen taels of silver!" ”

Shen Lengxin said that he couldn't be so cheap next time...... I thought that I could pay off the debt owed to Zhuang Yong by asking for an extra five taels of silver, but now the reward of fifteen taels of silver has come to naught, what a loss.

Wang Gendong hurriedly said: "General, the first merit of this battle should be Shen Leng, if it weren't for him noticing the movement of the water bandits in advance and proposing a strategy to lure the enemy into an ambush, this battle would not have been fought so smoothly, please think twice." ”

Cen Zheng's face turned cold: "General Ben's decision can be easily changed?" Meritorious work is meritorious, and it is wrong to have clear rewards and punishments, Wang Gendong, you are also a veteran who has followed me for many years, why did you even forget about these? You don't have to take your twenty taels of silver, and so is it. ”

Shen Leng pulled Wang Gendong, who still wanted to say something, and shook his head at him slightly.

Bai Xiu waited for Cen Zheng to leave and said to Shen Leng with a smile: "The general didn't really blame you, the two of you will each go to receive twenty taels of silver in a while, and the general doesn't have to worry about anything, I will naturally say." ”

Shen Leng and Wang Gendong hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, General." ”

Bai Xiu patted Shen Leng on the shoulder: "It's been a long time since I've seen such an excellent young man as you, work hard, and the future is immeasurable." ”

Shen Leng nodded in thanks, and Bai Xiu smiled and left.

After everyone left, Shen Leng asked Wang Gendong: "Captain, did the people who reported to the fleet set off after we arrived at the Guanbu Wharf?" ”

"That's right."

"It stands to reason that it is only a thirty-mile waterway, and the people who deliver the letter can almost arrive at the beginning of the battle, why did the general say that we should deliver the letter so late?"

"There's a ghost in my heart."

Wang Gendong snorted: "Cen Zheng is a person who has a lot of thoughts...... You may not know him, I have known this person too well for so long under him, he is from a humble family like us, so he wants to climb up, even if he uses some shady means, if he really leans towards Mu Xiaofeng's side, I am not surprised at all. ”

Shen Leng nodded: "Hmm...... Let's go get the money first, what if the two of them regret it after a while? ”

Wang Gendong: "Are you short of money?" ”

Shen Leng spread his hands: "Missing, the gap is particularly large." ”

Wang Gendong: "You can take my twenty taels in a while." ”

Shen sneered: "The captain doesn't ask me why I'm short of money." ”

Wang Gendong said: "What do you ask, the brothers who are companions in life and death on the battlefield, isn't it just twenty taels of silver, although it is not a small amount for us, but I value you and me more before." ”

Shen Leng was a little embarrassed: "Actually, it's nothing, I owed twenty taels of silver before, and I received that share enough to pay off the debt...... The reason why the gap is big is because I want to marry her in the future, and I can't be shabby, and I want to give her the best and best wedding. ”

Shen Leng raised his head and looked at the sky, the clouds were all like tea masters.

"Wife Ben?"

Wang Gendong coughed a few times and said, "Just now I said that I gave you the twenty taels of silver?" I take it back...... This kind of thing is like saving a wife, as if no one has a big gap......"

Shen Leng laughed: "Does the captain have a sweetheart?" ”

"Hmm!"

Wang Gendong nodded vigorously, the manly husband is not afraid of life and death, and of course he will not twist and pinch in this kind of thing: "Mother asked someone to send a letter a few days ago, saying that her health has not been as good as before since last year, and the girl who had a marriage contract with me entered my house with a package alone against rumors, and has been serving my old mother for more than a year, and my mother persuaded her to go back for her sake, but she just refused, I ...... Don't dare to fail her. ”

Shen Leng took the twenty taels of silver from the dock warehouse while listening, and after listening to Wang Gendong's words, he looked down at the silver in his hand, laughed, and stuffed the silver into Wang Gendong's hand: "Ask someone to take it home, see a doctor for your eldest mother, and add new clothes for your sister-in-law." ”

Wang Gendong was stunned: "How can this work?" You still have to pay your debts. ”

Shen Leng put his hands behind his head and said as he walked, "Me...... I'm different, I'm younger than you. ”

Wang Gendong: "It's too much......"

In the distance, Bai Xiu glanced back at Shen Leng and Wang Gendong, and he smiled and said to Cen Zheng beside him: "They are all good seedlings, and the generals don't have to be angry, no one is perfect, they have done well enough." ”

Cen Zheng looked at Shen Leng: "I don't like that young man named Shen Leng, he is too imposing." ”

Bai Xiu said: "Young man, it is normal to be more vigorous, and the general will be trained more in the future." ”

Cen Zheng snorted: "Look at his appearance, where does he look like a soldier!" Relying on his two military exploits, he began to be presumptuous, if he didn't press him, he would not know what his surname would be sooner or later! ”

Bai Xiu shook his head: "We all came from that age, how can a young man be unhappy, forget it." ”

Cen Zheng withdrew his gaze from Shen Leng: "You have to let him understand that the battle is not child's play." ”
