The reception banquet lasted for more than an hour, and it was not until the two watches that the generals reluctantly dispersed. Because it was wartime, fortunately, most of the generals and colonels only drank two or three glasses of wine, but they didn't dare to drink more, and they didn't need to be supported when they went back.

When everyone was almost gone, there were still a few people standing in the hall who did not leave.

Chen Kefu looked at it, but it was the people who came out with Chen Jiazhuang. At the beginning, ten people came out, and after several battles, none of them were injured, but it was also a blessing.

Now, except for Chen Huo, the commander of the third division who rushed to Anshi with Hu Hai, and Chen Fu, who rushed to the fifth division of Xincheng to serve as the commander of the elder brother, the ten people who came out at the beginning are now eight people gathered here.

Mao Yi, Lu Shishen, Chen Qing, Chen Feng, Chen Lin, Chen Gui, Chen Shan, originally a Mu Quan came out of a small place in the countryside of Zhuo County, except for Mao Yi and Lu Shishen, who were both in their thirties and had lived in Jiankang in the southern Chen capital for more than ten years, most of the rest were Zhuangzhong disciples who were about the same age as Chen Kefu. In a blink of an eye, in less than a year, they have now all become generals with thousands of soldiers.

At a glance, Chen Zhi and the others not only became darker, but also had stronger bodies.

His face is no longer the kind of country boy, and he naturally has some general momentum on his body.

Smiling, Chen Kefu said, "Let's go to my study to chat together, but it's a pity that Chen Fu and Chen Gui's two boys have a task to do, otherwise, our brothers can chat together again." ”

took a few people to the study in the inner courtyard, and after Ono Risa made tea for everyone, Chen Kefu smiled at her warmly, "You help me take care of it outside, and everyone is not allowed to approach the study, okay?" ”

Reisa Ono smiled softly, bowed, nodded, and turned to go out.

Chen Kefu looked at the seven people in front of him, and said with a smile, "Mao Yi, Lao Lu, Chen Gui" This time, I will let the three of you lead a division alone, are you confident that you can lead it well?" ”

These people in front of him are his real henchmen, Mao Yi and Lu Shishen are the sons of Nan Chen's former ministers, and their family has been defending themselves for so many years. And Chen Qing and other young generations, that are the children who grew up in Zhuangzhong, have followed themselves since they were children, and their feelings for more than 20 years are not generally comparable. At the moment, if he wants to build a career, these people are his most reliable right and left hands.

Lu Shishen smiled, "Don't worry, young master, although our skills are not as good as Li Benlei,

Hu Hai and other veterans, but they think that they will not be worse than Liu Tiezhu and Zhang He. As long as my old Lu is here, the men and horses of this second division will always be the most reliable soldiers and horses of the young master. ”

Mao Yi and Chen Gui also nodded busily, patted Xiong Zhuo and promised to bring their respective people to reassure Chen Kefu.

At a glance, Chen Qing sat aside with some loss, this time Chen Kefu in order to form a descendant of the army, several main generals in the first, second, and sixth divisions were all from Chenjiazhuang. And considering that Lu Shishen's "bravery" has always been unparalleled, but it is a little less than strategy, Chen Qing, a henchman who has always performed well, was specially transferred to be the commander of the faint division to assist Lu Shishen in controlling the second division.

But now it seems that Chen Zhi saw that Chen Gui, who was not as close as him and Chen Kefu, had become the division commander, but he, a good buddy who thought he was by the young master's side, only became a faint division commander.

"Chen Qing, what do you want?" Do you have any comments on my appointment? We are all brothers who grew up together, so if you have anything to say, don't hold it in your heart. ”

Chen Qing squeaked, "No, I don't have anything on my mind. ”

Mao Yi and the others turned their heads to look at his head down, and his words were not good, and they all understood at once.

,"I said, why are you just like a girl, the young master asked you to be my brother, and your kid is not happy, right, do you think you are better than me?" Lu Shishen smiled at Chen Qing and scolded, the two of them were a pair of living enemies when they were in Chenjiazhuang, and they were about to stumble at every turn, Lu Shishen especially liked to watch Chen Qing look like he had nothing to say.

Chen Qing raised his head, his face was a little swollen and red, and he stammered, "I didn't mean that, it's just, it's just ......"

Chen Gui hurriedly got up and took over the words, "Young Master, Brother Chen Qing has always been the best performer among the young generation of our Zhuangzi. Since following the young master to Liaodong, the fighting skills he has learned are much stronger than ours, and Chen Qingge has always followed the young master and learned a lot of things. This time, Chen Qingge went to the second division to be the commander of the faint division, and the young master asked me to be the commander of the sixth division, which I think is a little inappropriate. ,

Otherwise, let Chen Qingge go to the Sixth Division as the division commander, and I will go to Brother Lu to be an assistant. ”

Chen Kefu looked at the performance of several people, and was both a little happy and a little angry in his heart. Happily, it has been so long since I came out, and now I have become generals one by one, and everyone no longer walks over to the simple Chenjiazhuang family.

But now in the face of their own interests, he can still think about the group in Chenjiazhuang, and he can still think about the brotherhood in the past, instead of thinking about it because of a little interest, which makes him very happy.

But because of this, he was also a little unhappy.

"Nonsense, do you think you're still in Chenjiazhuang?" I thought I would let you be a teacher. Is it to be a housekeeper? Still let it come and go? You Chen Qing used to think so highly of you. Are you so concerned about personal gains and losses? Just because Chen Gui became the teacher commander, you didn't be, are you not convinced? And you Chen Gui, is it child's play for me to appoint you as the division commander? Still want to let? ”

Chen Qing, Chen Gui and the others all sat there quietly, and they didn't think for a moment why Chen Kefu suddenly became angry.

Mao Yi hesitated and said, "Young master, I think Chen Qing's performance has always been good, at least he won't give Zhang He and Liu Tiezhu any difference." Or, do you transfer Chen Qing to the Fourth Division, or the Fifth Division, as a division commander?

After all, wouldn't it be more reliable for us to run the troops ourselves? Mao Yi knew that Chen Kefu had the idea of restoring the country, so he also helped to consider how to control the military power to the greatest extent.

Chen Kefu sat there for a while before he said, "In the year of the nose, my Chen family was originally the lord of Nanchen, but I lost the country because of my misdemeanor. Now that the Sui Kingdom has also begun to be in turmoil in the world, I will soon see that the lord of the Central Plains will change his position. At this time, how can you and I sit idly by. Big Husband,

When the world is peaceful, when you enter the court, govern the country and the country. And when the world is in turmoil, when the wind rises in the green apple, conform to the current situation, ride the wind, calm the world, help the world and the people, create the style of the ancestors, and revive the glory of the ancestors. ”

"Sui has lost its deer, I have the heart to emulate my ancestors of the Chen family, in this troubled era, open to Wang Tu hegemony, rejuvenate the Chen family, and restore my homeland!"

Except for Mao Yi, everyone here knew Chen Kefu's ambition for the first time. Lu Shishen knew Chen Kefu's royal identity for a long time, but their generation, such as Chen Gui and Chen Qing, only learned that their young master was a descendant of the Nanchen royal family not long ago.

However, for them, although they knew, there was nothing to change, after all, Chen had destroyed the country for many years, and the Sui Dynasty was so powerful.

But at this time, when the young master Chen Kefu mentioned this old identity again, Chen Qing and the others were also surprised and stunned. But after the surprise was the shock, and everyone was full of thoughts. There were a lot of thoughts in my mind for a while, and gradually, everyone began to move. The State of Chen was destroyed by the State of Sui, and now that the Sui Dynasty has lost its way, it is unlikely that it will be replaced by Chen. And they, the henchmen of the young master, must also become the ministers of the Chen family's restoration, and he will be rewarded by the Jinjian Palace, and they must be indispensable to them. It is not a dream to be crowned a prince.

Although they were just ordinary families in the past, after leaving Hebei and following Chen Kefu to Liaodong, they also saw the world and broadened their horizons. One by one, they have become small and powerful generals, and of course they understand what they can get if they succeed in the future.

Besides, they are all Chen Kefu's henchmen and brothers, since the young master has returned to the country, what else do they need to choose.

Chen Qing and the others glanced at each other, Huo's all got up and walked in front of Chen Kefu, and all of them fell to their knees, "I will swear to follow the young master to the death and swear to restore the homeland!" ”

"Okay, they are all my good brothers, everyone please get up, the day he returns to the country, he will share the wealth of the world with all my brothers."

After everyone sat down again, now that they had already spoken out, Chen Kefu no longer had any scruples. said directly, "Now you also understand my thoughts, if you want to restore the country, there must be soldiers and horses." Now we are staying in Liaodong, but it is a good opportunity. This is a heaven-sent opportunity, and if you don't take it, you will be punished by God. For the first time the army was reorganized, I excluded Li Jie's party, which could not be of the same heart as me, from the right to lead the troops. Now in this second reorganization of the army, we must not only continue to exclude Li Jie and his party, but also, most importantly, strengthen the soldiers and horses in our hands. ”

"After this expansion, we will have more than 70,000 horses, as long as this army of soldiers and horses is trained, we can wave our troops south, chase the Central Plains, and recover our rivers and mountains. This time, I arranged for Mao Yi and Lao Lu to lead the first and second divisions, and let Chen Qing, Chen Feng, Chen Lin, and Shen Guang faint, precisely to strengthen our strength in an all-round way. We are to fully develop these two divisions into our Chen's soldiers, and they must be loyal to me. In the future, these two divisions will be the two elite divisions that will be focused on building, and all the materials will be tilted towards you. ”

"Chen Gui's Sixth Division is our reserve division, and in the future, all the soldiers who can be recruited will be transferred to the Sixth Division first, and then transferred to the First and Second Divisions after being observed and suitable, so as to maintain the purity of the First and Second Divisions. Therefore, the task of the Sixth Division is not light, and these are the results of my long consideration. ”

"At present, although Hu Hai and others have always been good to me, but the Great Sui will not fall for a while, so we have to be careful about one or two, I believe that it will not take a few years, and when the Sui Dynasty is eroded and irretrievable, they will still make the right choice. However, now we are like this for the time being, Hu Hai and they are all excellent generals, so that they can unify the division and serve the people, if they are all replaced by you, then the military spirit will definitely not be able to serve the people, but will be in chaos. ”@。
