Chapter 16
Several people came to the door of the inn. Chen Yue asked Xue Tian and the others to go back first. He asked the waiter to find out if there was a tall man in white clothes. Because he was not very thin, the store owner was very impressed and told him immediately.
Chenyue room number.
Chen Yue came to the door of the room and knocked on the door.
"Please come in."
Chen Yue pushed the door open and walked in. Chu Yucheng was reading a book, which seemed to be a military book. "General Chen? I have sent that old man home and left some silver. Don't worry, nothing will go wrong. Come to me."
Is there anything else?" Chu Yucheng closed the book and stood up to pour tea for Chen Yue. "I went to the magistrate's office and forcefully forced Liu Qiming to knock his son out. It was really comfortable." Chen Yue felt a little agitated.
Surprised, he looked at the man in white in front of him: "How do you know my name? It seems that I didn't mention it at all yesterday."
Chu Yucheng smiled: "First: the last guard who came that day called you general, but Liu Wende, the son of Fengyang magistrate, did not recognize you, which means that you are not from Fengyang, and you should not be a high-ranking person in Liangzhou.
Military general, otherwise Liu Wende should be familiar with him." Chen Yue listened with great interest and made a gesture to continue. Chu Yucheng took a sip of water and continued: "Second: Although I have never been to the battlefield, I have traveled all the way from the Central Plains.
Come, I've seen a lot of patrol camps and garrison troops from various places. Most of them are sluggish and have no murderous intent. The dozen or so guards you had that day gave people a completely different feeling. They should be the ones on the battlefield.
The spirit of killing. And the first place in Liangzhou to fight Yanrong is Wuguan, so you are most likely from Wuguan. Finally: You look too young. Although I entered Liangzhou not long ago,
I have heard about the bloody battle at Wuguan and the capture of the rebels Zhao Zicai and Chang Tianhu not long ago, so I guessed it right, General Chen?" After saying this, Chu Yucheng smiled proudly.
"Haha, the students of Yuelu Academy are indeed worthy of their reputation. I admire you. I just don't know what you are going to do all the way from the Central Plains to the border. Don't tell me that you are traveling with a sword and roaring when you see injustice on the road." Chen Yue
Laughing loudly, he began to appreciate this guy.
"Join the army and serve the country!" Chu Yucheng said firmly: "If General Chen does not give up, he is willing to serve as a soldier under his command and serve the strength of dogs and horses." Chen Yue was surprised again. It must be said that Chen Yue was still moved, and now he
Although Xue Meng and Xue Tian are brave enough and good at charging into battle, they lack strategy. Like most Liangzhou soldiers, they cannot read a single person. They need a Confucian general to help them come up with ideas. This Chu
Although Yucheng is not as skilled as the two of them, his resourcefulness should be quite outstanding. Chenyue did not agree immediately and pretended to think about it. He wanted to whet Chu Yucheng's appetite. He always felt that Chu Yucheng had something to hide from him.
Seeing Chen Yue's delay in speaking, Chu Yucheng became a little anxious: "I have been at Yuelu Academy for five years. I have studied strategists, legalists, and strategists. I have read a lot of books and am familiar with the art of war. Although I have never been on the battlefield, I will definitely be able to give advice."
Please give me some help." Chenyue stared at him: "Why are you joining the army? I want to listen to the truth, and if you convince me, I will promise you." Chu Yucheng was stunned and gritted his teeth: "In order to get ahead, I have been living at home since I was a child.
I was poor, my parents both died, and I was fortunate enough to be taken in by Yuelu Academy. There was a woman in the academy who was very kind to me and didn't despise my background. We fell in love and made a private decision for life. But unfortunately, her father despised my poor background and did not agree with us.
They wanted her to be married to a local official family, but she refused to do so. Now she is in a stalemate with her family. Nowadays, the officialdom in the Central Plains is dark, and there are endless buying and selling of officials. It is difficult for me, a child from a poor family, to get ahead. In addition, I am studying...
The fastest way to learn the art of war is to come to the frontier and give it a try." After saying this, Chu Yucheng lowered his head, tears welling up in his eyes. This was the pain in his heart.
The atmosphere in the room was a little dull. Chen Yue could feel the pain of parting with the one he loved so well. Fortunately, Sister Ling'er would definitely marry him, and he didn't have a father-in-law who was greedy for money. "I promise you.
, I can’t guarantee that you will be able to marry her, and I can’t guarantee that you will be able to become a high official. But here, there is no secret operation, no buying and selling of officials, as long as you have the ability, you can shine, no
Will be buried." Chen Yue finally spoke. Chu Yucheng looked at him with a little gratitude. It was enough to get this guarantee. He believed that his ability was gold and would not be buried.
"But you have to do something for me first. This is the first test. I have heard a lot of news. This Fengyang magistrate Liu Qiming probably embezzled the taxes paid by the people. His son is very domineering. I don't believe him as a father.
Everything is clean. Now that Yan Rong is invading, there must be no problems in the rear. However, my official position is not high and my responsibilities are limited. I cannot investigate blatantly. So I want you to investigate secretly and give you half a month. If you can find out
I have some clues. How about I let you join the army after joining the army?" Chen Yue thought about it and felt that this task was perfect for him. He didn't need to use his hands, but his brain.
"Okay! It just so happens that I hate dog officials the most, and I have heard a lot of rumors in the past few days since I came to Fengyang City. Leave this matter to me, don't worry." The two hit it off, and Chen Yue kept one more person.
At the meeting, he talked about his battlefield experience, and also said that he joined the army because he wanted to reduce taxes for his family, and in order to marry a wife early. Under the sympathy of each other, the two quickly established great trust and friendship. Chen Yue walked to the window
Next, looking at the bright moon in the sky: "Tell me, what's wrong with this world? We have to fight with our lives to get what we like, but some people squeeze the blood and sweat of the people again and again, and act lawlessly."
"In the future, if we can fight with swords on the battlefield, we will stand on the top of the city to wipe out the injustice in the world, kill all the lawless people, and let the world shine brightly!" Chu Yucheng also walked to the window and said slowly. He seemed to be thin.
Underneath his body, there is an extremely determined heart. The two of them looked at each other and smiled, silently.
Two days later, Chenyue returned to Wuguan with new soldiers. This time he recruited more than 1,300 new soldiers. According to Zhou Ruhai, all these new soldiers will be added to Shanzi Camp, and the strength of Shanzi Camp will reach 3,000.
With many people, as long as they are properly trained, Shanziying will be the main force of the Wuguan Cavalry in the future. Now the reputation of Shanziying has already spread throughout his hometown of Fengyang. When these recruits learned that they were going to be in Shanziying, they all stood firm
My chest was straightened, full of expectation.
Before leaving, Chenyue left a few guards for Chu Yucheng, in case something unexpected happened and Liu Qiming was found out, forcing Liu Qiming to jump over the wall, and killing someone was not impossible. Regardless of whether Liu Qiming could be found out or not.
