Chapter 380 Unforeseen (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, gentlemen)

"Chirp..."

Amidst the high-pitched hawk's cry, Chen Sheng, wrapped in a bearskin cloak, landed precisely in front of Meng Tian and Chen Feng amid the wind and snow.

The two of them respectfully clasped their palms together and said, "General Meng Tian (Chen Feng), please pay homage to your Majesty. Long live my king!"

Many royal guards who arrived in a hurry were about to greet him, but Chen Sheng waved his hand to indicate that he should give up.

His face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he strode forward to the general's camp hall: "Come in and talk!"

"only!"

The two of them responded, slowed down, and followed Chen Sheng from a distance.

Chen Sheng walked to the top of the lobby and sat down on the couch with a bang.

The two people in the hall, who had their heads hung down and did not dare to sit down, trembled slightly when they heard the sound, and their heads hung even lower.

"Tell me what you think!"

Chen Sheng had no expression on his face and shouted softly in a bad tone: "How did you two suppress the rebellion and bring out a rebel king!"

You can't blame him for his bad attitude. Anyone can see the sky 996. It's hard to look forward to the stars and the moon until the New Year's Eve holiday. He is full of his wife's delicious food and a warm bed. But when he enters the house, he doesn't even drink a mouthful of hot water. Because of the bottom

Something went wrong, he was in a hurry, and he traveled more than a thousand miles on a business trip in the wind and snow, and it was unlikely that he would be in a good mood.

Meng Tian secretly gave Chen Feng a look: 'You are the second eldest son of the Chen family, come on!'

Chen Feng shook his head and returned his look: 'You are the general, your superior!'

Chen Sheng looked down at the two people who were dawdling and did not dare to speak, and frowned in displeasure: "Chen Feng, you are the director of the special operations bureau, you tell me!"

"only!

Chen Feng stepped forward helplessly, clasped his hands and said: "To your Majesty, the story of this matter must start when the families of Xuzhou started to rebel..."

The topic was a bit far-fetched, but Chen Feng's description was very concise. In a few words, he went through the process of Meng Tian and Chen Ying commanding 80,000 red-coated troops to suppress the more than 100,000 Xuzhou family coalition forces, and then cut to the story of the Langya Lu clan's leadership.

A sudden change occurred after a group of Xuzhou aristocratic families retreated to Chengyang County.

However, after Meng Tian behind him heard this, he didn't think that Chen Feng was giving him eye drops.

He knew very well that although this was Chen Sheng's first visit to Xuzhou after the Xuzhou family gathered troops to rebel.

But Chen Sheng knew the whole process of how he and Chen Ying commanded the army to suppress the Xuzhou family coalition forces.

It is even very possible that he and Chen Ying, the two frontline generals, know better!

There is no need to elaborate in detail on who has merit and who has fault.

"Our secret agents lurking in the allied forces of the Chengyang families reported that the traitor Lu Bai called himself the King of Qi, and a ceremony was scheduled to be held on the shores of the East China Sea on the second day of the second lunar month to announce to heaven and earth and restore the unification of Qi..."

"In the Chengyang Family Alliance, the Lanlingdong Guo family and the Guangling Mi family have envoys coming to their door one after another. They say that they are traitors to Lu Bai, colluded with the demon clan, and are not sons of man. They will be canonized as the snake demon Bai in the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.

The emperor's son, as the Dragon King of the East China Sea, raised an army of the water tribe to fight against my army in red..."

"The general has reviewed this information with multiple parties. There are no errors or omissions in the information. However, due to the heavy snow blocking the road, it has greatly affected the smooth transmission of the information. As a result, it was only recently sent back to the Wang Ting Center to ask for the king's punishment!"

Chen Feng squeezed his palm again and pressed it to the end.

When Meng Tian behind him saw this, he also bowed to the end: "Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

Chen Sheng, who was above, was frowning in thought, not even bothering to look at the two cowards below.

This is no small matter!

As soon as he received the news in Chen County, he combined the matter with the matter that Jing Ke had previously reported about the extraterrestrial demon clan's quest to become a god.

When Jing Ke reported this matter to him, he had already judged that the demon clan from outside the territory seemed to be seeking the same path of cleansing themselves as the Tu Shan clan where Tu Shan Yao belonged.

But in fact, it is most likely a conspiracy to divert the fate of the Nine Provinces human race, weaken its opponents, and strengthen itself!

What this laborer Lu Bai is doing now undoubtedly further proves his argument.

If it was really just to seek foreign aid to help them resist the attack of his Red Army, then why not consecrate the big snake in the name of the Langya Lu family? Isn't this the specialty of his Lu family?

Lu Bai couldn't be so naive that he thought that with the little strength in his hands, he could take a big bite of cake from the Han court's plate and rule the country, right?

Moreover, normal people fall into their situation and try their best to reduce their sense of existence before it is too late to survive. How can they continue to try their best to kill and stimulate an enemy that is obviously unbeatable? Do you still think you are not dying fast enough?

This is obviously illogical.

For example, don't the Guo family in Lanlingdong and the Mi family in Guangling know current affairs very well?

It's not enough to be raped by others, you also have to jump into the fire pit of Lu Qi's national unity...

Chen Sheng quickly sorted out the situation and asked in a deep voice: "How is the situation in the army?"

Meng Tian stepped forward quickly, clasped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the heavy snow in Xuzhou has been going on for more than twenty days. The snow-covered roads have made the march difficult. If we try our best, we may suffer huge casualties!"

How could Chen Sheng not know this truth?

Judging from the current weather, the snowfall is very likely to continue until March or April!

Do you want to sit back and watch that traitor divert the fate of the people of Jiuzhou to that snake monster?

After Chen Sheng pondered for a moment, he sighed softly and said simply: "I'll give you a thorough explanation!"

"According to my judgment, Lu Ni's rebellion is not just as simple as proclaiming himself king, but he wants to use his position as a prince to steal the luck of our Han Dynasty and even the entire Nine Provinces human race, and give it to that snake monster!"

"As for what luck is, you may or may not understand it. In short, you can simply understand it as luck. A person's luck can determine whether he will be promoted and rich or have bad luck. When it is magnified to a nation, it can

It affects whether this nation will prosper or decline!"

"So, we, the Han court, can afford to throw away Chengyang County."

"If you rebel against me and claim to be king, I, Chen Sheng, can swallow this tone."

"But I cannot lose the fate of the Han court and even the entire Nine Provinces human race, and we cannot afford to lose!"

"Tonight is New Year's Eve, let's open positions on the front lines, reward our brothers with hard work, and have a good year."

"On the third day of the junior high school, prepare the army for war."

"Isn't it proven that the sled can be used for snow marching? It should be extended to the whole army."

"On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, no matter whether the snow stops or whether the road can be walked, we will send troops to Chengyang!"

His tone was not very harsh.

But the determination behind this military order, no matter the cost, was enough to shock Meng Tian.

Generals who are familiar with Chen Sheng's military use know that Chen Sheng rarely issues death orders and leaves a little room for movement to prevent the commander of the troops from putting his soldiers to death in order to execute military orders.

Meng Tian looked solemnly and clenched his palms to the end: "I will obey the king's order!"

Chen Sheng looked at Chen Feng: "How many secret agents do you have in Chengyang County during the special campaign?"

Chen Feng thought for a while, clasped his hands and replied: "Go back to your Majesty, there are no less than two hundred people."

Such a vague answer is very inconsistent with the nature of the work of the special operations bureau.

But Chen Feng only knew how many spies he had in Chengyang County during the special campaign.

How could he know how many details of Qianji Tower were built in Chengyang County?

And Chen Sheng was obviously asking about their entire secret front...

Chen Sheng was quite satisfied with this number. After thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice: "Put a message out for me in Chengyang County: Lu Bai was raped, he claimed his dignity, acted against his will, and stole the luck and support of the people of Jiuzhou.

The demon clan outside the territory has damaged the foundation of our descendants of Yan and Huang for eternity. All our children in the Nine Provinces will be punished if they find them. Today, my great master, the King of the Han Dynasty, is devoting all his strength to defeat the thieves. Anyone who abandons the dark and surrenders to the light, and turns against the enemy in front of the battle, the culprit will be given a lighter sentence. Those who follow will be given a lighter sentence.

Let bygones be bygones!"

"Anyone who stubbornly resists and refuses to repent will be punished with the unpardonable crime of betraying my descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties and rebelling against our Jiuzhou human race. The Yi tribe will destroy their ancestral halls, exterminate the Miao descendants, crush their bones and spread ashes. I hope you will realize that you have lost your way soon."

Come back, don’t say you didn’t predict what you said!”

"The three Yi tribes destroyed their ancestral halls, exterminated the Miao descendants, crushed their bones and spread their ashes." Four sentences in a row. Every time Chen Sheng uttered one sentence, Meng Tian and Chen Feng's brows jumped sharply, and their faces became more solemn.

Especially for Chen Feng, all he could think about at this moment was that in the memorial sent back to him by Chen County before he held the public trial, the four words "to avoid future troubles" were crossed out and the four words "act according to law" were added.

Ink pen annotation!

There are so many crimes that it is difficult to describe them, just like a family, and the eldest brother has not done anything to implicate them.

But this time, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was going to follow the three family trees and kill him!

If we say that Chen Sheng's previous explanation about luck made the two of them aware of the seriousness of the matter.

So these four sentences made the two of them know Chen Sheng's determination!

After a pause, Chen Sheng said again: "Don't change a word, and pass it to me intact throughout all the cities in Chengyang County!"

Chen Feng clasped his hands: "Wei!"

Chen Sheng nodded, stood up and prepared to go out: "You two are still in charge of this place, and my food is still being cooked at home, so I will go back first, and on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, I will come back to support the army!"

Meng Tian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, how can we prepare for the arrival of your Majesty in person with only 20,000 to 30,000 defeated soldiers? The last general is willing to issue a military order. Before three months, Lu Bai's head will be raped and presented to the imperial court!"

Chen Sheng smiled faintly and said calmly: "I don't come here for the 20,000 to 30,000 defeated soldiers, but for the ambitious snake demon and its so-called water tribe army... Human rape

They all have to die, there is no reason they can live, if this spreads out, the world will only think that I, Chen Sheng, bully the weak and shy away from the strong, and only use force against my own people!"

Meng Tian suddenly realized, clasped his hands and said: "The last general Meng Lang!"

Having said this, Chen Sheng suddenly remembered something: "By the way, have you heard about the recent rumors from the outside world?"

Meng Tian instinctively looked at Chen Feng, but found that Chen Sheng was looking at him. He was stunned, clasped his hands and said: "I have been traveling around Xuzhou counties recently, and I have not paid attention to the rumors from the outside world. Please tell me!"

Chen Sheng: "It is the rumor that the outside world ranks my red army with the Youzhou Army and the Bolang Army, and praises my red army as the third army in the world!"

Meng Tian suddenly realized and said happily: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, Congratulations, Your Majesty!"

Chen Sheng leaned back and looked at him in disbelief: "You think so too?"

Meng Tian looked at him doubtfully: "Looking at the armies in the world, perhaps only the Youzhou Army can hold down my red-coated army. If the Bolang Army meets my red-coated army in a narrow road, it is still unclear who will win and who will lose.

Ranking third in the world is already a sign of humiliation, so what's the point of doubting it?"

Chen Sheng frowned, bent his knees and sat back: "This may be my negligence. I led the Red Army and fought too many tricky battles, which made you so arrogant that you didn't even know your own surname.

I almost forgot!”

Although the words were not serious, the meaning behind them made Meng Tian's expression suddenly change. He quickly clasped his hands and said, "I will be scared at the end!"

Chen Sheng opened his mouth, and the scolding words reached his lips, but he swallowed them back.

He waved his hand and said softly: "Sit down and speak slowly...Chen Feng, go and tell the kitchen to cook my dinner. Go and come back quickly."

Chen Feng responded and hurriedly left the lobby.

Chen Sheng stared intently at the somewhat uneasy Meng Tian below, and for a moment he didn't know where to start.

An arrogant soldier will be defeated. This is a terrible truth that even a big-headed soldier who has never learned the art of war can tell.

Since the streets are rotten, why have so many generals fallen into disgrace in the face of arrogant soldiers throughout the ages? There are even some famous generals who have experienced hundreds of battles among them?

That's because the most terrifying thing about being a proud soldier is that when you are in it, you don't feel like you are a proud soldier at all!

In fact, a long time ago, Chen Sheng discovered that the Red Army was filled with blind confidence and pride.

But at that time, the Red Army's military power was not yet strong, and even false and blind confidence was better than a fear of war due to low self-esteem!

In addition, after years of fighting, Chen Sheng did not have enough time to use high-intensity training to polish off the impetuosity of the Red Army, but he was also reluctant to use a controllable defeat to make the Red Army accept that he was far worse than he imagined.

Such a powerful reality.

Therefore, he could only constantly correct his thinking to ensure that he would not fall into the arrogant mood of blind confidence.

The subsequent series of great victories of the Red Army also proved that as long as the general in charge can keep a clear mind and the soldiers under his command are proud, it can indeed be regarded as a positive state.

With the support of this state, the army can often maintain a strong desire to attack and fight tenaciously to the end even under unfavorable battle conditions that are far higher than the ultimate casualty ratio that a normal army can withstand.

Half of the Red Army's reputation comes from the blessing of Chen Sheng's undefeated golden body, and the other half comes from this proud emotional blessing.

As long as Chen Sheng personally leads the army, no matter who the opponent is, the Red Army can win by three points first!

Don't underestimate these three points. In an ordinary army, even if the general in charge is also a first-rate general, he would have to spend countless efforts and effort to accumulate these three points of morale.

But now this arrogance has spread to General Meng Tian, ​​the commander of the army. This problem is really a bit big...

After a while, Chen Feng came in with a large plate of steaming boiled mutton.

Chen Sheng picked up a piece of ribs, dipped it in some sauce, stuffed it into his mouth, and invited the two of them to eat together.

The two of them also followed suit, one of them picked up a rib and tore it off into a big mouthful.

Chen Sheng said while eating: "Meng Tian, ​​I don't think I need to explain it to you in detail."

Meng Tian had to admit his mistake without even thinking about it.

Chen Sheng waved his hand: "I know what you are going to say, and I don't mean to blame you. I know better than you what the situation of the Red Army is... Let's not talk about the past achievements now, only the present!"

Meng Tian nodded in agreement.

Chen Sheng thought for a moment and asked, "Have you seen the combat effectiveness of the royal guards?"

Meng Tian nodded and praised sincerely without concealing his admiration: "The royal guards are the most elite troops I have ever seen in my life. They are as motionless as a mountain and as moving as thunder. Thousands of people are in one body and the battle formation is as one. I will be like this in my lifetime."

If you can train an elite army comparable to the royal guards, you will die without regrets!"

After he finished speaking, he was shocked to realize that there was something wrong with what he said, and he quickly said: "This general has overstepped his bounds. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Chen Sheng chuckled and shook his head: "I am also the one who leads the army. How could I not know that the commander-in-chief loves the elite army?"

After a pause, he continued: "Let's take the royal guards as an example to analyze carefully how to build an elite army!"

"first!"

He raised a finger: "It must be the execution of orders and prohibitions. This is the basic skill of an army. If he cannot even do this, then he is not a qualified army at all."

Meng Tian nodded with a normal expression, saying that in terms of orders and prohibitions, the red-coated army was no worse than the royal guards!

Chen Sheng raised his second finger: "Secondly, the military formation must be coordinated. The strength of the army is not simply the strength of numbers. A well-trained army that knows military formations can defeat ten times the rabble.

!”

Meng Tian nodded again, his expression still unchanged. The red-coated army's military formation coordination was not as good as that of the royal guards, but it was not far behind.

Chen Sheng raised the gnawed lamb ribs in his hand and said: "These two qualities can be regarded as the watershed of the Kyushu army's combat effectiveness. Those who possess these two qualities are qualified troops. Those who possess only one or neither of these qualities will be considered good."

You can break into the rabble; in addition to these two points, those who have other qualities can be regarded as members of a strong army, do you have any objection to this?"

Meng Tian pondered for a moment and shook his head to show that he had no objection.

"very good!"

Chen Sheng threw away the mutton ribs, then grabbed a large piece of mutton and tore it into pieces: "After fighting so many battles and seeing so many opponents, I have summarized four qualities for a strong army!"

"The first point is the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers."

"The second point is the proficiency of the battle formation."

"The third point is military cohesion."

"The fourth point is the common belief of the military."

"First of all, the first point is that based on the qualified army, the number of warriors in an army and the overall level of warriors can directly determine the combat effectiveness of an army. Do you admit this?"

Meng Tian thought for a moment and nodded again, his expression still unchanged.

Until Chen Sheng went on to say: "The lowest realm of all the warriors in the Royal Guards is the Kai Ming realm. Every centurion must be Qi Hai, and the two to five hundred masters are all Houtian!"

"What is the proportion of warriors in the Red Army? How many percent? Is it more than 20 percent? Eighty percent of them are in the Bone Forging Realm? The whole army except you, the general who was pushed to the Houtian Realm by the luck of the Han Dynasty

Besides, can you find a second Houtian realm master? If the two armies are fighting and the battle situation is stalemate, an elite army like the Royal Guards rushes into the battlefield and takes the flag of your central army commander.

What should I use to block it?"

"Oh, do you want to tell me that the Red Army will fight?"

"How long does it take to shorten the gathering speed of the red army's battle formation of ten thousand people? Has it taken six hundred breaths? How long does it take to change the formation? Has it taken one stick of incense?"

"Have you ever seen the battle formation of the Royal Guards? As long as half of them are present, they can form a formation in thirty breaths. The formation change is even faster, and they can complete the formation change in twenty breaths!"

"Oh, do you still want to tell me that the Red Army has strong cohesion and you can sacrifice people's lives to buy time to set up a large formation and win with the advantage of numbers?"

"When the Second Army fought in the Battle of Xuzhou this year, did you know how many soldiers and horses were divided and retreated? Twenty percent! Of course, this is because I underestimated the negative impact of the death of a general on an army, but

Isn’t this enough to explain the problems of the Second Army? I have a greater influence on the First Army. If one day I die in battle, have you ever thought about how the First Army will collapse? Could it be that if I die, the foundation of the Han Dynasty will be destroyed?

You can just hand it over to others? If the attackers are foreigners, are you still prepared to watch them rush into my Han court territory and raise the butcher knife against the folks in Sangzi? You are all living for me, Chen Sheng?"

"Also, we are both in the Red Army. I have never treated the First Army and the Second Army differently. Why is there such a big difference in combat effectiveness between the First Army and the Second Army, and there is no tendency to narrow the gap at all? You, the commander of the Red Army,

Have you searched deeply for the problem? If you have searched, why didn’t you find that the first army has common beliefs, but the second army has not? If you have thought about it, why didn’t you ask the Political Department to tilt political cadres to the second army?

?”

"You, the acting army commander, are so confused about everything, but you still have the nerve to tell me, why can't the Red Army be the third army in the world?"

"The brothers in Paoze below are floating to the sky without knowing the importance of it. Are you floating to the sky too?"

"As a former legion commander, I have led the Red Army to fight so many victorious battles. Even now, I am still trembling with fear every time I face a battle, walking on thin ice. I am afraid that if I make a mistake, I will lose everything. I cannot bring these hundreds of thousands of Paoze brothers back to drink and eat meat.

Get a wife and have children.”

"How long have you been the commander of the army before you feel that there is no army in the world that you cannot defeat?"

"We meet on a narrow road, and the outcome is uncertain?"

"With your current command level, if you really bump into Lian Po, you won't even know how you died!"

Chen Sheng's words and sentences were like swords, guns, swords and halberds, stabbing directly into Meng Tian's heart!

The stabbing made Mengtian clutch a lamb rib, his head almost dropped to his crotch, and his old face was so ashamed that he almost bled.

He is two years older than Chen Shou.

But now that he was being sprayed with so much blood by Chen Sheng, he couldn't bear the slightest hint of rebellion in his heart.

Because everything Chen Sheng said makes sense and goes straight to the core of the problem!

He is convinced, in capital letters, he is convinced, and he is convinced with all his strength!

Apart from admiration, there is only awe.

Just like the leader of the flock, he has eaten grass all his life and managed the sheep all his life. He is proud to feel that he is the most powerful among the grass-eating creatures!

Until one day, it saw a cow eating grass!

This not only completely shattered his outlook on life.

It also made him deeply suspicious of the world...
Chapter completed!
