Time can dilute all pain. After such a long time, Chen Xu's mood is not as low as before.

On this day, he took Dian Wei and Hao Zhao with him, and wanted to go out for a break.

Today's Dian Wei has become Chen Xu's personal commander, which is his own request.

The group walked on the road, Dian Wei looked at Chen Xu in front of him, and silently thought in his heart what Chen Gong had told him before.

"Guofu, your bravery, the world is beyond reach. However, Kokusuke thinks, what is your own ability to command the army? ”

Dian Wei thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "If you say that you are charging into battle, I am naturally not afraid. But for arranging troops and leading troops to fight, I am a little powerless. ”

Chen Gong continued to ask, "What are the ambitions of Kokusuke?" ”

Dian Wei frowned, and replied angrily: "I have a bad background, and I have always wanted to get ahead since I was a child. ”

Chen Gong continued to ask: "So Guofu thinks that his ambition has been achieved now?" ”

After hesitating for a moment, Dian Wei nodded heavily. For most martial artists who were born in a reckless background, they can get an official and a half-job, and they have no worries about food and clothing, and they already feel that they have no regrets.

Today's Dian Wei is in a high position in the middle of the general, and he is very important to Chen Xu. In the entire state, he is a man of the hour.

For such a beautiful life now, Dian Wei had no extravagant hopes before.

Hearing Dian Wei's reply, Chen Gong's face first showed a smile, and then became serious again. He said to Dian Wei: "Now that the lord has become a prince, he is bound to offend many people. ”

"Even if the lord himself is brave, I often worry that there will be assassins in secret."

"Throughout the territory of the state, although there are many brave people. But there are not many people like Awei who are fierce warriors and loyal to their lords. ”

"Nowadays, the safety of the lord is closely related to the lifeblood of the entire state. I hope that you will resign from your position and go to the side of the lord to take up the position of commander of the army. ”

Chen Gong's words were a bit abrupt.

Although serving as Chen Xu's personal commander is a position that many people dream of. After all, the people who can hold this position are all deeply rooted in Chen Xu.

However, after taking over this position, the chances of going to the battlefield in the future will be much reduced. For military generals, not being able to go to the battlefield means that there is no way to make meritorious contributions.

Dian Wei struggled for a while, but finally gritted his teeth and said: "Don't worry, the military advisor, I will ask the lord to take the position of the commander of the pro-army." ”

When Chen Gong heard this, he felt extremely relieved.

He patted Dian Wei's majestic body and said solemnly: "Remember, when the lord is resting, no matter who you are, you can't go in to meet the lord without your permission. ”

After finishing speaking, Chen Gong did not forget to repeat: "Remember, no matter who it is!" ”

Dian Wei didn't think about anything else, just nodded vigorously.

Ever since Lu Bu came to defect to Chen Xu, Chen Gong has always wanted to let Dian Wei serve as the commander of Chen Xu's own army. After all, Lu Bu's reputation is not good.

As Chen Gong said earlier, the troubled times have come, and the princes will do everything to fight each other. He believes that there will definitely be many assassinations that Chen Xu will face in the future.

Chen Xu's safety is related to the life and death of the entire Bingzhou Group. Therefore, Chen Gong had to be cautious.

After receiving Dian Wei's affirmative reply, Chen Gong said meaningfully to Dian Wei: "Believe me, you will not regret your choice today in the future." ”

Pawn Wei threw away his newly crafted halberd and took two halberds with him. When he came to Chen Xu and asked to become the commander of the pro-soldiers, the surprise in Chen Xu's heart can be imagined.

Regarding Dian Wei's arrangement, Chen Xu has always felt a little at a loss.

It stands to reason that Dian Wei has followed Chen Xu for so long and has made a lot of contributions. Whether it is his qualifications or his prestige in the army, it is enough for him to lead the army alone.

However, Chen Xu knew that it was okay for Dian Wei to charge into battle. If he is allowed to become the commander of an army, he will not be able to. So it hasn't been, let him be the coach of one side.

Since Dian Wei can't become the commander of the first army, Chen Xu can't help but reuse him. In this way, it has become a headache for how to arrange Dian Wei.

If you want to use Dian Wei in the future, you can either let him follow Chen Xu as a pioneer general. Either let him become, the deputy general of the other generals.

But with Dian Wei's bravery and his prestige in the army, how many people dare to make him their lieutenant general?

If this is the case, let's not talk about whether these generals can command Dian Wei. Even if Dian Wei obeyed the command, these generals would feel constrained.

And in the long run, it is difficult to ensure that there will be no resentment in Dian Wei's heart.

Chen Xu didn't think about transferring Dian Wei to his side and treating him as the commander of his own soldiers. But with his relationship with Dian Wei, it has always been difficult to speak.

Now, Dian Wei himself has asked for this position. Chen Xu was sure again and again, knowing that Dian Wei didn't seem to be joking, so he agreed to his request.

In fact, it's not just Chen Xu, I don't know if it's like placing Dian Wei. Even Chen Gong sensed a hint of clues.

Although Dian Wei seems to be reckless, he understands it very well in his heart. How can he not know about his somewhat embarrassing position? So after hearing Chen Gong's suggestion, he agreed to the matter without too much reason.

Chen Xu walked in the front and said to Dian Wei beside him: "Brother, if you come to me to serve as the commander of the personal army, you will have a lot less chance of going to the battlefield in the future." Don't you regret it? ”

Dian Wei scratched his head and said with a smile: "If you don't go to the battlefield, you won't die in battle, isn't it?" ”

When everyone heard Dian Wei's words, they were stunned at first, and then burst into laughter.

Dian Wei spoke like this, as if he was a little greedy for life and afraid of death. But those who are familiar with Dian Wei know that this peerless general is not that kind of person.

This kind of remark comes from Dian Wei's mouth, which is also a bit humorous.

After laughing, Chen Xu said solemnly: "Brother, in the future, when there is no one else by your side, you can call me directly, or 'Da Lang'." ”

Dian Wei looked at Chen Xu with a sincere face, a trace of warmth flashed in his eyes, but he still said: "The lord's heart, how can I not understand?" However, the gift of the monarch and the minister cannot be abolished. ”

Hearing this, Chen Xu sighed slightly.

Regarding the issue of salutation, Chen Xu has already told Chen Gong and Dian Wei many times. But the two of them have surprisingly the same concept. There was no way, Chen Xu had to let them go.

On both sides of the road, on top of the crops in the fields, there were heavy loads of grain.

Chen Xu looked at the endless fields, and finally couldn't help but smile on his face.

"The autumn harvest is approaching, and as long as the grain is harvested, the state will be fully on track. Wait until next spring, and the grain and grass accumulated in the territory will be enough to support a large-scale war. ”

Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Chen Xu's eyes.

This time, the state was forced to withdraw because of the shortage of grain and grass in the territory.

Millions of people were settled, if not for the vast wealth plundered from the Xianbei people. This year's merger, and I don't know how many people will starve to death.

Rao is like this, and the remaining grain and grass in the state can only be supported, a quick battle.

This is also why, Chen Xu's troops were divided into four routes, wanting to capture the four eastern counties of Sili as soon as possible; And after the annihilation of the middle route army, he did not take the army to retaliate, but negotiated peace with the Xiliang army.

Because, there is no surplus grain and grass in the state to support a big war. If the war is forced, not only will many soldiers be killed, but countless people will starve to death.

And all this is not what Chen Xu wants to see.

If there was enough grain and grass in the state, Chen Xu would not want to make a quick decision at the beginning.

If there is enough grain and grass in the state, according to Chen Xu's character, the blood debt must be repaid with blood, and he will definitely not accept the peace proposal in humiliation.

In the final analysis, it is because of the lack of food in the state.

Looking at the boundless fields around him, Chen Xu seemed to see the powerful and incomparable war potential of Bingzhou. In troubled times, with grain and grass, there will be everything!

The crowd walked along the path in the fields, occasionally passing by one village after another. The people in the village, although they seemed a little curious about these heavily armed soldiers, did not have much fear.

Although the treatment of the state army is good, the military law is very harsh. Especially for those soldiers who dare to oppress the people, Chen Xu will definitely not show mercy.

Therefore, the state army has always committed no offense against the people. When the people saw the soldiers, they would not be afraid.

"Big brothers, big brothers, it's so hot, come and drink some water."

Chen Xu and the others were about to pass through a small village when they suddenly heard a female voice. Everyone raised their eyes and found that it was an old woman, waving a wooden scoop in her hand, shouting to Chen Xu and others.

The old woman was not young and dressed very plainly. The slightly emaciated face was covered with beads of sweat.

Seeing this, Chen Xu hurriedly led everyone and came to the old woman.

"Baaa

Inside the sheepfold, a group of black and white lambs cried uneasily when they saw someone approaching. The old woman kicked the wooden fence a few times and scolded, "Don't scream when the guests come." ”

Then, she beckoned to Chen Xu and the others with a smile on her face, and said, "Although there is a bit of sheep smell here, the water in the tank is very sweet. ”

"It's so hot, you all drink some water first."

After finishing speaking, he handed the wooden scoop to Chen Xu at the front. As soon as Chen Xu wanted to turn out the wooden scoop, a personal soldier behind him snatched the wooden scoop over.

The soldiers scooped up a large scoop of water, poured it all into their stomachs, and then closed their eyes and tasted it for a while, so that they could praise loudly: "What sweet water!" ”

Seeing this, Chen Xu shook his head with a wry smile. He knew that the soldier was worried that the water was poisonous, so he rushed to drink the water.

Listening to the praise of the soldier, the old woman's eyes narrowed with laughter.

She smiled and said, "The master here used to be the state pastor's personal soldier. Because he broke his arm on the battlefield, he returned to live here. ”

"The well in the village was dug by someone he paid for."

When Chen Xu heard this, he held the right hand of the wooden scoop and suddenly paused.
