Chapter 48
Zhao Zhongtian suddenly realized that he secretly admired the analytical ability of the eldest son of the Xue family. It would be great if such a person was born in the Zhao family. Of course, what he didn't know was that Xue Leihan had a deeper reason that he didn't say, that is, as a
Brother, he has full confidence in Chenyue, whom he has just met.
Xue Leihan added: "Since Chenyue can give Yuwen Chenghua advice and prove that the siege of Wuguan is better than our Tianlang Pass, uncle can rest assured."
Now Xue Leihan can rest assured that there are few soldiers in Wuguan. Since the war started, he has been worried about the safety of his brothers, so he comes here from time to time to check things out.
Zhao Zhongtian also breathed a sigh of relief. There were only about 10,000 people in Wuguan, and the safety of Wuguan had always been his biggest concern. If Wuguan was breached, the severity would be almost the same as that of Tianlang Pass.
Xue Leihan smiled slightly as he exited the Zhao family's residence. Mentioning Chenyue a little to himself would be beneficial to Chenyue's future development, but if he said too much, he would be afraid of arousing the Zhao family's fear. Maintaining the relationship of the big family relies on profit.
One day when someone discovers that you are far more powerful than him, it is not impossible to stab you in the back.
You must not have the intention to harm others, but you must have the intention to guard against others. Xue Leihan does not want to expose all his trump cards.
After waiting for several days, the old soldiers Zhou Jingyao recruited from all over Liangzhou finally arrived. The black-armored cavalry drove into Wuguan from the south gate at night to avoid being discovered by Yan Rong soldiers.
Chen Yue stood at the gate of the city and looked at the faces that looked slightly weathered, and the tall and straight figures. There was no displeasure at being drafted on their faces. On the contrary, everyone held their heads high and their chests high. Although the marching team was not as uniform as the regular army,
But he still vaguely revealed the killing spirit of a veteran, and he sighed in his heart. It was really helpless to let these soldiers who had returned home from the army return to the battlefield.
Most of these people are between thirty-five and forty years old, in their prime. They have quit the military for various reasons, or have completed their military service, or have gone home to do other things.
To make a living. Now, in order to protect their hometown and their relatives, they left their families again, took up arms, mounted their horses, and came to the battlefield to shed their blood.
In the Wuguan meeting hall, Chenyue was summoning several new captains. The first one was named Yan Hongyi. Among the many veterans, he had the highest official position before retiring. He was a cavalry captain. Six years ago, because of his old father at home,
After his death, he resigned from his post and went home to pay his respects. According to calculation, Zhou Ruhai may have joined the army at about the same time. This time Zhou Jingyao issued a recruitment order in the state, and he came without saying a word and was re-appointed as a cavalry captain.
"Everyone!" Chenyue looked around at the crowd and said loudly: "I, Chen, am ashamed of you, and I am ashamed of the soldiers and people of Liangzhou. Now I have to recruit old soldiers to fight the war. We should all have fun and get together with our families, but now we have to
Come to the battlefield to fight, I, Chenyue, would like to thank you all!"
After saying this, Chenyue bowed deeply to everyone, and Chu Yucheng and others behind him also followed suit.
Yan Hongyi hurriedly stepped forward to help Chen Yue up and said: "General Chen, what you said is totally wrong. Everyone in Liangzhou knows General Chen's achievements. He fought bloody battles for more than ten days to protect Wuguan.
Tens of thousands of Yanrong barbarians abandoned their corpses under the city. I wonder who could do it! The general saluted us, which really embarrassed us. The defeat outside Tianlang Pass was really due to that bastard Nangong Yu who escaped before the battle, which made me miserable for more than ten years.
It’s really abominable that ten thousand good men died on the battlefield!”
The rest of the people also nodded, and Chen Yue felt warm in his heart. He hurriedly asked everyone to sit down and asked the guards to bring hot tea. Everyone had come from afar and had not had time to rest.
"Seniors." Before Chen Yue could continue, he was interrupted by Yan Hongyi: "General Chen, although we are more than ten or twenty years older than the general, there is no distinction based on age in the military camp.
, It only depends on ability. I am a straightforward man from Liangzhou. If it were another young boy who relied on his family's status to become this general, then we would definitely have to rely on our elders to act like we are old and create some obstacles secretly. I am convinced by General Danchen's achievements.
Orally, you are worthy of being called a general for us, but we cannot be called a general. Please just call the general according to the law!"
Several other people also responded: "From today on, the general's words are military orders, and we are just the captains under his command. Anyone who disobeys the orders should be punished by the military!"
Chen Yue sighed in his heart, the Liangzhou people were really happy, so he had to smile bitterly, nodded, and asked: "How is the old army's combat strength now?"
A burly man stood up and replied: "General, don't worry, although we have been away from the army for many years, we still have some skills on horseback. We just need to practice the cooperation of everyone, and the veteran army will soon form a strong combat effectiveness."
.”
"Okay, let's have a military parade tomorrow at the school grounds. After that, everyone will lead their own people to practice. This team of people may come in handy at any time." Chen Yue said.
"promise!"
In the early morning of the second day, the warm spring sun penetrated the clouds, shining brightly, and poured freely into Wuguan. It was neither cold nor hot, and the weather was very comfortable.
On the Wuguan campus, more than 10,000 cavalrymen stood proudly, with a majestic momentum. Several captains in the lead formed a row, with a natural momentum and murderous intent rising from the ground.
Compared with the Shanzi Camp, although the ranks of the Lao Army appear a little messy and not so neat, everyone has a sense of arrogance of the Liangzhou Cavalry. At first, they were all soldiers of the frontier army in hundreds of battles. Now,
Picking up the sword and mounting the horse again, naturally it doesn't feel strange.
Chen Yue was very satisfied with this murderous aura. He looked at the audience and said loudly: "Soldiers! I know that you have parents, wives and children waiting for you at home. I also know that many of you will not be able to go back! But, I
As hot-blooded men, is it possible for us to let our elders in our hometown face the horseshoes of Yan Rong barbarians? Do we want our children to face the scimitars of Yan Rong barbarians!"
"No! No!" The chorus of cheers from the audience gathered together in a loud voice.
Chenyue pressed his hands, the scene became quiet, and continued: "From today on, you will focus on training. I know that your skills are not weak right now. With just a little training, you will become an elite soldier. In the future,
I need you to follow me and defeat every invading enemy! Protect the safety of the people of Liangzhou behind Wuguan! You can rest assured that every time you charge, I, Chen Yue, will be at the forefront!"
Chenyue suddenly drew out his sword, pointed it straight at the sky, and shouted angrily, "Kill!"
The soldiers in the audience were excited, and thousands of swords were unsheathed at the same time, "Kill! Kill! Kill!". Chen Yue conquered the 10,000 veterans in the audience with just one sentence.
Chapter completed!
