Chapter 4: The One Who Achieves Great Things
Hearing that Lu Chen was going to take his headquarters to the county seat, Zhao Chuan was startled, and he subconsciously asked, "Big... Did you go to the county town to ask the head of the county for armaments? This... I'm afraid something is wrong..."
Lu Chen glanced at him, and the meaning was clearly 'what's wrong'.
Even if Zhao Chuan was simple-minded, he could see the meaning in Lu Chen's eyes, he swallowed his saliva and said cautiously: "As a county guard, if you lead troops to the county town to find the county head's theory, I'm afraid... I'm afraid I'll be labeled as a traitor..."
Hearing this, Lu Chen took a deep breath, yes, what Zhao Chuan said was not unreasonable, and from here he could also understand why the former county guard had not been armed.
However, Lu Chen didn't plan to just leave it at that, even if he wasn't a county guard, just a bystander, he couldn't stand what this county chief did!
In the border city, 30,000 defenders fought against the barbarians in order to defend their homeland territory, but they were selfishly deprived of the items needed in the army by the county head, which is really hateful, not to mention that the current Lu Chen is already the county guard of the border city, so he has the responsibility to get justice for these soldiers who fought bloodily!
Although Zhao Chuan's assumption is very likely to happen, Lu Chen at this time can't manage so much, he is a modern ordinary young man, he also knows some Chinese history, and has also watched a lot of Three Kingdoms conspiracy TV series, so he knows very well that if he wants to live a more exciting life in this world, the first step is to determine his identity as a county guard, let his soldiers recognize him, and establish his prestige in this acre and three points.
So whether he can go or not, or whether there is a risk in going to the county town, he has to take this step!
After only a slight weighing, Lu Chen had a definition in his heart, he pretended to glare at Zhao Chuan fiercely, and then said loudly: "What? Could it be that just because he is the head of the county, he can privately detain the supplies of our army! Can't you not take the lives of our soldiers seriously!! Since I am a county guard in a border city, I have the obligation to be responsible for these brothers under my command! Look at these brothers of mine! All of them are iron-clad men! But it was not because of the defeat of the barbarians, but because of the problem of armament, which led to the spillage of blood! How different is this from an unjust death! ”
Perhaps seeing that Lu Chen was angry now, Zhao Chuan couldn't help but remind out of kindness: "But... But the head of the county is in a high position after all, and the county capital... Also... It's not like I'm going to be able to break in at will..."
Lu Chen angrily pointed at Zhao Chuan's nose and shouted angrily: "Zhao Chuan! My brothers, in order to rescue me, can disregard their own lives and fight the enemy hard, can I, the county guard, ignore my brothers because I dare not offend the officials!? It just doesn't make sense! ”
Lu Chen's words can be described as high-sounding and awe-inspiring! Of course, there is a purpose to win people's hearts, but he is really angry with the county head.
And after he said this, the effect was also extremely significant, in this world where the division of dignity and hierarchy is extremely distinct, for so many years in the border city, human life has been like ants, and no county guard is willing to offend the county head for the life and death of the soldiers below.
At this time, Lu Chen's attitude was enough to move the two thousand soldiers, at this time, people had all begun to stare at him without blinking, and many people showed excited expressions on their faces, feeling that they had not saved the wrong person, and they must have misunderstood the newly appointed county guard before.
"Zhao Chuan! If you're afraid of offending the county chief, you can wait here! The official went to him alone! The more Lu Chen spoke, the more angry he became, and his voice became louder and louder.
As soon as Lu Chen's words fell, Zhao Chuan raised his head sharply and said in a loud voice: "The last general is willing to go to the county town with the lord to find the county head to theorize!" Whatever the outcome, it's bound to be the only one who looks to it! ”
At the same time, the two thousand soldiers also said in unison: "I am willing to go with the adults!" ”
Very good! Lu Chen's heart blossomed, this was exactly the effect he wanted! But he didn't show the slightest joy on his face, but still said with a straight face: "Okay, let's go now!" ”
As he spoke, he walked to Zhao Chuan's war horse and was about to turn over and get on the horse, but after two attempts, he didn't sit on the horse. Originally, he thought that he had never eaten pork and had never seen a pig run, but now, Lu Chen was so embarrassed that not only did he not get on the horse's back, but he also fell to the ground with a crooked body, and he fell to the ground in embarrassment.
Seeing this, Zhao Chuan was the first to react, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Lu Chen up, and asked at the same time: "My lord, you... Are you okay? ”
"It's fine." Lu Chen waved his hand, and as soon as he saw the expressions of Zhao Chuan and the soldiers around him, Lu Chen knew what they were thinking, in this era, horse fart is equivalent to people's means of transportation, a county guard, and he can't even ride a war horse, this is simply an incredible thing.
But fortunately, Lu Chen's reaction was clever enough, and when he saw that everyone was staring at him with wide eyes, he immediately pretended to be out of breath and weak, and said to Zhao Chuan: "General Zhao... This officer... The official has a splitting headache and is no longer able to turn over and get on the horse, please... The general can give me a hand. ”
"Be careful..."With Zhao Chuan's support, Lu Chen 'finally sat on the horse's back', and then he thought about it for a while, and said: "Before... It was precisely because of the attack of a head disease that the official was in pain, and even delirious, and in the end, he had to curl up his whole body to relieve the pain, which made General Zhao smile... In addition, the official is extremely weak at the moment, and I am afraid that he will not be able to control this horse..."
Yes? When everyone heard this, they were all stunned, no wonder the adults were 'so timid' before, which made people feel incredible, and they almost misunderstood the adults! It turns out that it's all because of an adult's head attack!
Zhao Chuan also suddenly realized, and the little doubt in his heart that had not yet been solved was also explained with Lu Chen's pretending to be sick, and now, seeing that Lu Chen's body was so weak that he couldn't even ride a war horse, he hurriedly asked with concern: "My lord, why don't you let the last general send you back to the border city to rest for two days?" ”
"Huh?" Lu Chen waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, General Zhao doesn't have to worry, let's hurry to the county town, this matter... I didn't do it well for a day, and this official... I can't feel at ease for a day..."
When everyone heard this, they were all moved, for so many years, not to mention that they had never seen an adult who was willing to offend the county leader for the sake of the soldiers, and they had never seen such an adult who disregarded his own weakness but still had to think about the soldiers first!
No wonder as soon as the adults took office, they didn't even enter the house, so they went straight to Wuguan to patrol the defense! Isn't the adult who cares so much about the safety of the soldiers exactly the Lord that everyone has been waiting for for many years?
And Zhao Chuan was not a scheming person, and at this time, the corners of his eyes were moist when he was moved by Lu Chen's behavior, he took a deep breath and the sourness that came up from the pressure back, intervened to give a salute, and said: "My lord, rest assured!" Let the last man lead the horse for the adults! ”
If Zhao Chuan's respect for Lu Chen at the beginning was due to the relationship between superiors and subordinates, then from this moment on, Zhao Chuan was already respectful in his heart.
