Chen Sheng walked slowly into the lobby of the cottage, and the accompanying soldiers stood outside the hall with their swords drawn.

In the lobby, more than 20 officers from the 500-strong Red Army and above have been waiting for a long time with their hands down.

Chen Sheng smiled and said: "You have been waiting for a long time."

When the generals saw his smile, they couldn't help but smile. They all clasped their fists and raised their hands in unison: "I pay my respects to the general!"

The loud sound shook the beams of the room as if they were trembling. Chen Shou, who was the only one sitting in the hall who did not get up, couldn't help but think: "These gang of rammers are so energetic. It seems that they have practiced lightly. Let's go back to practice."

Double the amount!”

Chen Sheng stretched out his hand to help: "Gentlemen, please stand up!"

"only!"

All the generals responded in unison and straightened their waists.

Chen Sheng strode up to the lobby and stood in front of the big tiger-skin chair that represented the master of Panlong Village.

Turning around, facing their fanatical eyes that seemed to be shouting and chanting, he glanced over one face after another, as if to remember their appearance.

After several breaths, he chuckled and said: "Very good, I'm very happy to see new faces in this room. This shows that our team is getting stronger and stronger!"

A burst of low laughter erupted in the hall, and the laughter was full of excitement.

"Okay, let's sit down and talk!"

Chen Sheng stretched out his hand and pressed softly.

The generals sat down as instructed.

Chen Sheng was still standing in front of the big tiger-skin chair and did not sit down.

He straightened his face and said solemnly: "The Qingzhou Yellow Turban rebels and the Xuzhou Yellow Turban rebels have joined forces to invade our state. I have decided to send troops to assist the Dangshan camp in Liang County!"

Having said this, Chen Sheng paused briefly, glanced around, and observed the changes in the expressions of the generals in the hall.

He saw all the generals looking at him intently, with no surprise in their eyes.

He nodded secretly and silently gave his father a thumbs up.

He continued: "There are many reasons for sending troops. I just want to ask you: are you willing to wait until those traitors who burn, kill, loot, and do all kinds of evil rush into our own territory and beat our home to pieces?"

Do you want to fight them, or kill them on someone else's property first?"

Upon hearing this, the generals responded in unison without hesitation: "Of course they will be killed on someone else's territory!"

Chen Sheng showed a slight smile on his face, nodded slightly and said: "Very good, it seems that I and you have reached a consensus on this point!"

After a pause, he continued: "But even if you want to send troops, there is still something to be learned about how to fight!"

"first!"

He raised a finger: "We are rushing to Dangshan to fight on the road. The weather is right, the location is favorable, there are no people, and the general in command is not one of our own!"

"Secondly, although the situation in Yanzhou is precarious at the moment, as the saying goes, if the sky falls, there will be tall people to support it. There is the imperial court in the distance and the state capital above. We, the men, don't have to act as the big boss!"

"I have asked the state government for orders. Our red-coated army will form its own army, but it can still be controlled by Meng Tianjie, the commander of the Dangshan camp."

"It means that as long as someone fights, we will accompany Meng Tian and fight with the Yellow Turban rebels to the end!"

"But if we don't have to fight, neither the state nor Meng Tian will even think about using my life to exchange credit for them!"

"Even if they forcefully issue military orders, you don't have to acknowledge them. Don't be afraid. I will take care of everything for you!"

"But listen clearly, disobeying military orders is only under the premise that it is absolutely necessary and they are forcing you to die!"

Chen Sheng looked at the generals in the hall and said seriously: "I give you the confidence to disobey their military orders so that you can fight openly and without worries, not to make you greedy for life and afraid of death!"

"You are soldiers!"

"Soldiers who protect our homes and people!"

"Others can be afraid of death, but you can't be afraid!"

"Understand?"

The generals responded loudly: "Understood!"

"very good!"

Chen Sheng nodded and continued: "In this battle, the first priority of our Red Army is to train our troops!"

"There is a saying that 'a thousand-mile horse cannot be trained in a courtyard, nor a thousand-year-old pine can be planted in a flower pot.' Our Red Army has been building the army for some time. Every day is drill, drill, drill, and it is time to see blood.

!”

"The Xuzhou Yellow Turban Rebel is a good training target!"

"Their main force only has 8,000 troops, and the rest of the rebels are all rabble-rousers who have only put down their hoes and sickles in recent days!"

"Not only have these rabble-rousers not received systematic training, their armor and logistics are also very poor. They have no armor, only wooden guns, and they can't even get a full meal before going into battle!"

"If you can't defeat such a mob, then you should return the flag I gave you..."

He walked into the hall, walked slowly, and said in a deep voice: "I am your general, so I am responsible for selecting suitable opponents for you, giving you the right to retreat, and providing you with sufficient soldiers, armor, and baggage.

I will fulfill my responsibilities!"

"And you are also the generals of the soldiers under your command. You also have your undeniable duty, that is, on the premise of completing the combat mission, try your best to bring back every Paoze brother you brought out intact!"

"So I ask you to use your brain more when fighting, and give your brothers more time!"

"Our Red Army is a new army. Most of the soldiers in the army are good family members who have served their duties honestly for half their lives. They have never killed anyone. They may be timid, afraid, or soft-hearted when they go to the battlefield. You have to take them with you.

They are slowly adapting to the taste of the battlefield!"

"Of course, I also know that many of you do not have enough experience in leading troops, and some of you have never even been on the battlefield yourself!"

"But it doesn't matter. I will also give you time to learn how to lead troops and how to fight!"

"But when I give you time, you have to cherish it and risk your life to learn from me. If I give you time and you still can't meet my standards, then don't blame me for dismissing you... I let someone who doesn't

If the qualified Five Hundred Master continues to lead the army, he is pushing his Five Hundred Paoze brothers to die!"

"have you understood?"

He stopped suddenly and turned around with majestic eyes!

All the generals responded in unison: "Understood!"

Chen Sheng frowned and suddenly raised his voice and roared: "Did you not eat? Please speak louder, do you understand?"

The generals suddenly blushed and shouted at the top of their lungs: "Understood!"

"very good!"

Chen Sheng nodded with satisfaction: "Your voices must have been heard by your brothers Paoze. I hope you will not disappoint me, nor will you disappoint your brothers Paoze. Gentlemen, please move forward with all your strength. I

I will prepare pigs, sheep and fine wine at home, waiting for your triumphant return!"

The generals stood up, faced Chen Sheng, clasped their fists and raised their hands: "General, you will never come back even if you die!"

Chen Sheng once again scanned their faces one by one.

After a long time, he nodded lightly and said: "Go down and prepare. The two military princes and Colonel Chen will stay for a while!"

The generals stood up and filed out of the hall.

Soon, only four people, Chen Shou, Chen Sheng, Chen Qi and Li Zhong, were left in the lobby.

Chen Sheng walked back to the big tiger-skin chair and sat down. After exhaling a long breath, he turned his head and said to Chen Shou, who was sitting on the seat on his left hand: "Dad, you are traveling lightly for this trip. You only need to carry ten days of food."

, the state government will send the corresponding armor and baggage to Meng County for delivery to you. If you don’t see the armor and baggage, you won’t go to Dangshan.”

Chen Shou nodded: "When will the expedition begin?"

Chen Sheng shook his head: "Let's make breakfast tomorrow morning. We'll make food at the third watch and set off at the fifth watch. As long as we can reach Meng County within five days!"

Liang County, where Dangshan Camp is located, is in the northeast of Chen County. The two counties are at the junction. After Tuo County, it is Liang County.

Chen County is more than four hundred miles away from Meng County.

If we follow the normal marching speed of thirty miles to make food and sixty miles to camp, it will take seven or eight days to reach Meng County.

However, this time the troops were dispatched, the red-coated troops were lightly armed and carried no heavy baggage. They could travel eighty miles a day, so there was no big problem.

"Five days?"

Chen Shou frowned slightly, "Can Meng Tian hold on until we arrive at Dangshan Mountain?"

"I think he can hold on until you arrive at Dangshan."

Chen Sheng said: "But that's not important. What's important is that I'm sending you to fight, not to die!"

Chen Shou glared at him angrily, this little thing was getting worse and worse!

Chen Sheng turned his face and looked at the two people on the other side: "Uncle Qi, Li Zhong, did you understand what I just said to the brothers?"

The two of them nodded in unison: "I understand."

Chen Sheng nodded: "In this expedition, my father has to deal with the state government and Meng Tian, ​​and he has to always pay attention to the direction of the battle. The life and death of our eight thousand soldiers rests entirely on your shoulders. Use your brain more during the battle.

, If the enemy can be shot to death with arrows, don't let the brothers below stupidly join in and fight with others. Use your soldiers as much as possible. If the enemy can be defeated with a hundred people, use two hundred. If you can,
