Chapter 13: The Journey

~~~~~~~

Chen Jisheng was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood Li Yuanqing's concerns, and at this time, several pro-soldiers had also finished picking people, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "Yuanqing, you ~~, everything is fine, but you are too careful." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info go for it. It's okay. ā€

Li Yuanqing smiled hurriedly, "Okay." Hurriedly walked into the crowd.

Mao Chenglu, Zhang Pan, and Chen Jisheng are all strong men, and at this time, in the crowd of hundreds, almost all of them have been picked by them.

But Li Yuanqing was not in a hurry.

Strong men are good, Chen Jisheng has a high position, deep qualifications, and can suppress it, but on his own side, after all, his position is low, and his prestige is insufficient, and the strong man is a little bad.

After walking a few laps, Li Yuanqing had already picked out the manpower, five fifteen or sixteen years old, sixteen or seventeen years old.

In fact, there are still a few old strong men with good conditions, but Li Yuanqing is just a small flag after all, and in this kind of thing, he doesn't want to covet it, and he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

At this time, although the number of his younger brothers is small, he has been a human being in two lifetimes and has knowledge beyond this world for hundreds of years, Li Yuanqing has the confidence to bring these younger brothers up.

By the time Li Yuanqing finished picking, the matter was almost coming to an end.

Mao Wenlong beckoned the soldiers to the high platform of the school and expressed his gratitude to the stout generals.

Everyone knelt on one knee in unison, "General Xie Sun carried it." ā€

The stout general laughed, "Excuse me." Brother Wenlong, that's all for today's business, right? Brother Wei is here, I wish Brother Wenlong success in advance. ā€

Mao Wenlong hurriedly smiled and said, "Then thank you Brother Sun for his words." ā€

When the stout general left, Li Yuanqing knew the identity of the stout general, Guangning guerrilla Sun Degong, the real head snake in Guangning City, has taken root in Guangning City for many years.

Li Yuanqing also remembered his life, just over a year later, the Daming Shaling was defeated, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians were killed, and it was this guy who led the way.

How miserable is it?

According to the history books, 'the phosphorus fire in the Sand Ridge area has not been extinguished for a hundred years. So much so that decades later, ordinary people walked from there at night and did not need to make lanterns at all. ’

No wonder at this time, Mao Wenlong was able to 'catch' people from Sun Degong's side only with a small profit from the ordnance.

However, whether Sun Degong is good or bad, Li Yuanqing is really not good to evaluate at this time, if there is no such guy, Li Yuanqing wants to really lead the troops, I am afraid it will have to drag on for some time.

What made Li Yuanqing even happier was that Sun Degong not only provided soldiers, but also gave up this small school field as a training ground under Mao Wenlong.

Man. Sure enough, you can't comment one-sidedly.

Exactly what it will do depends on its position.

For example, at this time, Li Yuanqing really couldn't find fault with Sun Degong, but would remember his goodness.

…………

With a foothold, Mao Wenlong's waist has also straightened a lot.

The soldiers recruited over the past few days, plus the soldiers who had been attached to Mao Wenlong before, quickly gathered in this small school field.

However, Mao Wenlong did not immediately lead the troops to drill, but first made an impassioned speech, which inspired everyone's enthusiasm.

Next, the 200 soldiers were divided into several teams, which were led and trained by Mao Chenglu, Chen Jisheng, Zhang Pan, You Jinghe, Wang Fu, and Chen Zhong.

And Li Yuanqing also received the biggest dividend since he defected to Mao Wenlong, the five soldiers he selected were led by Li Yuanqing himself, and Li Yuanqing was not assigned a direct boss.

At first, Li Yuanqing was still a little puzzled and cautious.

But a few days later, as the drill officially began, Li Yuanqing also understood Mao Wenlong's intentions.

It's a real vision.

The road to Zhenjiang is destined to be a small-scale 'special operation', and if all the soldiers are led by Mao Wenlong himself, I am afraid that in a short period of time, I am afraid that there will not be much effect.

On the contrary, dividing and dividing the responsibilities will further refine the results, but better results will be achieved.

After all, Mao Chenglu and Zhang Pan, these pro-soldiers, will never disobey Mao Wenlong's orders, let alone betray Mao Wenlong, including Li Yuanqing.

Come to think of it, the seeds of dandelions have been taking root in Mao Wenlong's heart for a long time.

But~, this also made Li Yuanqing realize that Mao Wenlong, I'm afraid I can't wait......

…………

In the nearly 10 days of drills, Li Yuanqing did his best and did not dare to slack off in the slightest, but the results were very small.

These five and a half children, the military literacy is really, really barren, which is a bit outrageous.

Fortunately, at the beginning of the selection of people, Li Yuanqing only picked loyal faces, and even some cowardice, in the past ten days, they have not learned anything else, but they can basically obey Li Yuanqing's instructions uniformly.

This is also the only thing that makes Li Yuanqing happy.

It's a pity that at this time, Li Yuanqing can't do much for them, at the beginning of April of the first year of the Great Tomorrow Apocalypse, Mao Wenlong issued an order to the whole army, and tomorrow morning, the team will officially set off.

…………

The red candle flame swayed gently in the wind, feeling the immature but trembling body of the little girl in his arms, Li Yuanqing's heart could not be described.

From fleeing Shenyang City to now, the good days have not passed for half a month, but they are facing separation again.

These days, Li Yuanqing has always seen the joy of the little girl, but it is a pity that in the ten days of military training, Li Yuanqing has only come back to live twice.

"Yun Niang......" Li Yuanqing wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't say anything.

In any case, this incident is a tragedy for the little girl.

After a long time, the little girl suddenly stopped crying, but her little face was pressed against Li Yuanqing's chest, "Brother Yuanqing, no matter how long you go, I will wait for you." I'll wait for you for the rest of my life. Life is your person, death is your ghost......"

Looking at the little girl's resolute little face, Li Yuanqing suddenly found that there were two lines of tears in the corners of his eyes, which flowed down unconsciously.

But he couldn't even give the little girl a simple promise......

…………

In later generations, a male singer that Li Yuanqing liked very much, in a popular song, there was such a sentence, 'Even if red and green, life still has to go on.'" ’

There was no turning back from the bow.

Now that you have chosen this path, let your blood and soul boil and burn completely.

…………

Early morning.

There were no flowers, no farewell, and no applause, and an inconspicuous team of about 200 people left the city from the south gate of Quang Ninh City and embarked on a journey into the distance.

Mao Wenlong was still in the entrepreneurial stage at this time, and although he had the support of Wang Huazhen, he still had very little family background.

There were no other animals in the procession, except for more than twenty nights when they did not collect men and horses.

All weapons, all outfits, were carried on the shoulders of soldiers and officers, and even Mao Wenlong was no exception.

With the experience of fleeing Shenyang City, Li Yuanqing has fully adapted to this kind of 'walking and migrating' life, and there are not too many major problems.

The five soldiers under his command, although they were a little thin, were all young men of the same age, and there were not too many adverse reactions, and the whole team had a very tight schedule.

It's just that although it is classified as Mao Wenlong's pro-soldier series, Li Yuanqing is too junior after all, and he has no merits, so he naturally cannot enter Mao Wenlong's core decision-making level.

Even if Li Yuanqing had historical foresight, he did not have a detailed understanding of the specific plan of this surprise attack.

However, this is not difficult for Li Yuanqing, who has been a human being in two lives, Li Yuanqing naturally understands what is the essence of things? And how to grasp the key point.

Since leaving Guangning City, Li Yuanqing has always followed Chen Jisheng's left and right and always maintained a high degree of consistency with Chen Jisheng.

…………

Three days later, the team arrived in a dense valley, and Mao Wenlong ordered the team to camp and rest in place, and spend the night here.

In the past three days, in order to keep secrets, the team did not take the official road, but marched on some inaccessible paths, eating and sleeping in the open, which was quite difficult.

But even so, the team still maintained a marching speed of forty or fifty miles a day, even if the soldiers complained, but Mao Wenlong himself was like this, he could be called a leader, and others did not dare to say anything more.

As usual, let a few younger brothers camp, Li Yuanqing carried half a pot of soju, ready to go to Chen Jisheng's side, from Chen Jisheng, to listen to tomorrow's marching plan, and more importantly, to deepen the relationship.

People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless?

But if you want to go far, the most important thing is to go a long time.

As a human being in two lives, Li Yuanqing naturally knows this deeply.

Originally, according to military regulations, in wartime, it was absolutely forbidden to drink alcohol.

However, the northeast region is different from Kannai, the weather is too cold, although it is early spring, but because of the Xiaoice River, the temperature is much lower than in later generations.

In addition, at this time, the position of the team was almost close to the sea, accompanied by the wet and salty but extremely dry sea breeze, which made these Quang Ninh soldiers who lived in the inland all the year round even more uncomfortable than facing the terrifying white-haired wind.

At this time, drinking less high-strength liquor can keep warm and drive away cold, and second, it can also prevent many diseases, such as rheumatism and rheumatoid.

"Huh. Yuanqing, come here. This side is sheltered from the wind. Chen Jisheng was commanding several of his own soldiers to camp, and when he saw Li Yuanqing, he hurriedly greeted him.

Li Yuanqing hurriedly smiled and trotted to Chen Jisheng's side, "Big brother, let's set up camp later, let's go around and walk around?" Let's see if we can get a rabbit, pheasant or something like that to make up for your body. ā€

The rations of the surprise attack team were almost saved by Wang Huazhen from between her teeth and handed over to Mao Wenlong, whether it was quantity or quality, it was really not enough.

For this kind of behavior of fighting 'wild food', Mao Wenlong did not clearly stop it, opened one eye and closed one eye.

Especially at this time, near this valley, there are continuous dense forests, and there is a small stream flowing next to it, according to the ecological environment at this time, there will be no shortage of these wild things.

Chen Jisheng couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "Yuanqing, this matter has to wait for a while." Just let Niu Er and a few of them go. The general and others will have something to say hello. ā€

For three consecutive days, this was the first time that Mao Wenlong had convened Chen Jisheng to discuss military affairs at night, and Li Yuanqing's face became solemn.

"That's okay, big brother, you go get busy first. I'll go and pour some fresh goods with Second Brother Niu, and you can come back in the evening and eat directly. Li Yuanqing hurriedly smiled.

Chen Jisheng couldn't help but smile, "Yuanqing, this time it may be to discuss future plans, why don't you get involved?" ā€

Li Yuanqing hurriedly smiled: "Big brother, I have a low position, so I won't go." If the general has any orders, you can just inform me. ā€

"You, you. Ay. Yes. Then I'll go first. We'll talk again in the evening. ā€

Chen Jisheng said, and walked in the direction of Mao Wenlong's tent in the center of the camp.

Li Yuanqing narrowed his eyes slightly, his fists clenched tightly, but he quickly stretched out again, and he was still the same sentence, he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

The road of surprise attack is long and long-term, and I am still worried that there is no chance to make meritorious contributions?

But Li Yuanqing was just about to go to find Chen Jisheng's personal soldier Niu Er, when at this time, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves at the mouth of the valley in the southeast direction, and several fast-eyed horses quickly rushed towards the camp.
