Chapter 1666: Arriving at the camp, Shen Tang’s reception
Immediately, Shen Tang said calmly, "Go and let General Bi escort Mr. Chen back. Tell General Bi that I will greet you at the Chinese military tent!"
The bodyguard responded and left.
Then, Shen Tang said to Shen Qiu who was standing aside, "Since Mr. Chen is here, he should share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. Today, let the kitchen prepare a good meal and entertain Mr. Chen with the food that our soldiers usually eat. Don't neglect it." !”
Lei Zheng sneered, Shen Qiu nodded and obeyed!
"Okay, ignore these trivial matters!"
Shen Tang waved his hand and started discussing with the generals while looking at the geological survey map.
Before sunset, Chen Junqing's motorcade finally arrived outside the camp!
Bi Zaiyu, who was leading the way, sneered on his horse and waved his hand to stop the team, "All grain transport frames will be transported directly to the warehouse."
Then he came to Bi Zaiyu's carriage and said, "Sir, here we are, please get off the carriage!"
Xiao Si on the side was dumbfounded. Looking at Bi Zaiyu, he raised his hands and just wanted to say a word of admiration! There are tens of thousands of people in the Shen Tang camp, which spans several miles. From the camp gate to the central military tent, it is at least three miles. distance.
Did Bi Zaiyu want the old master to walk over directly?
However, Xiao Si naturally didn't talk much, and he even laughed at the jokes.
Chen Junqing suppressed his anger and got off the bike. He looked left and right but did not see Shen Tang.
"Where is Lord Shen?"
Chen Junqing drank.
Bi Zaiyu smiled and said, "This is a strange question, sir. Of course the commander is in the central army tent. This is the camp gate. How can the commander be here?"
Chen Junqing opened his mouth and wanted to ask Shen Tang why he didn't come to greet him. However, looking at the big soldiers around him, he couldn't help but grit his teeth secretly and endured it.
"Since Mr. Shen is not here, why did you let me get off the carriage here?"
"Please forgive me, sir!"
Bi Zaiyu said, "In recent days, there have been occasional raids by small groups of soldiers and horses. Therefore, in order to ensure that the soldiers and horses can be killed as soon as possible after gathering, no carriages or the like are allowed to block the road on this main road. Therefore, , I can only walk to the Central Military Tent, Mr. Hardship!"
"However, sir, don't worry, everyone will be treated equally, and all the general's troops will follow you on foot!"
Chen Junqing almost rolled his eyes angrily, what kind of bullshit reason is this?
They are obviously trying to put themselves in a position of authority! These Qiu Ba who don't know etiquette.
However, Shen Tang is not here at the moment, and he has no opponent to even reason, and these big soldiers obviously will not pay attention to him.
"Humph, I will remember you!"
Chen Junqing waved his hand and headed forward, and the boy who followed him quickly followed.
At first, Chen Junqing was holding back his anger and strode forward.
However, he is not too young now. He used to either ride in a car or a sedan, and he rarely walked such long distances.
After walking two miles, his servant hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and finally he arrived in front of the Chinese army's tent.
Chen Junqing ignored the guards at the door and pushed the door directly in. However, a strong man who was a head and a half taller than him stood in front of him.
"Whoever entered the Chinese army's tent without notification should be punished fifty times! Someone..."
Chen Junqing was also anxious. With his body, he struggled for a long time, let alone fifty boards, even five boards, he couldn't bear it. He immediately shouted loudly, "I am your Majesty's personal envoy to Sichuan and Shaanxi." Deputy envoy!"
"Lei Zheng, step back!"
Lei Zheng sneered and stood aside. Only then did Chen Junqing realize that there were more than a dozen generals sitting in the tent, and Shen Tang was also sitting behind the table in the middle.
Shen Tang stood up and said with a smile, "It turns out that Mr. Chen has arrived, please forgive me! Because military affairs are often discussed in the commander's Chinese army tent, so no one is allowed to enter without notification, in case any secrets are leaked! I This personal guard was a little stunned and didn't recognize Mr. Chen in person, which actually made Mr. Chen laugh."
Chen Junqing had no choice but to admit Shen Tang's reasons. After all, this was indeed his own oversight.
Of course, he also knew that Bi Zaiyu, who was leading the way, did this deliberately. Otherwise, how could he not inform him in advance?
"Master Chen, sit down! Shen Qiu, go get someone to prepare a meal. I want to entertain Master Chen! In addition, please clean up the tent for Master Chen according to the standards of my commander's tent!"
Shen Tang's words made Chen Junqing look a little better. It seemed that Shen Tang's words seemed to take him seriously.
Maybe, everything is a misunderstanding.
Maybe the reason why he didn't go to greet him was because of a military emergency?
Although I feel resentful about letting myself enter the camp, I think it is indeed beneficial for sending troops.
Maybe the boy who greeted him did it deliberately!
Shen Tang asked Chen Junqing to sit down, and then introduced all the generals present!
"I have really been looking forward to Master Chen for a long time! I have been thinking very hard about the annexation of the Northland all day long, for fear that it will not be complete. Now that Master Chen has arrived, I can share one or two tasks with you!"
Hearing this, Chen Junqing was even more satisfied. Is Shen Tang very sensible? As soon as he arrived, he expressed his intention to decentralize power to himself.
It seems that I can live in peace with him.
It can be said that Chen Junqing's coming here has indeed given him great hope.
If he could accomplish such feats as sending troops to the north and regaining his homeland, he would certainly be remembered in history books. Which civil servant could refuse to leave his name in history?
Therefore, when he came here, he did not dare to miss any food, grass, etc. along the way, and he collected as much food and grass as possible, just to ensure smooth progress ahead.
No matter how bad things are, I should at least be able to do something like Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan.
They are also civil servants, but they have also made achievements on the battlefield. As long as they have made achievements, it is natural for them to return to the imperial court and serve as prime ministers.
I don't know how long it took before Shen Chou returned.
"Commander, the banquet is ready!"
Shen Tang stood up and said, "Master Chen, please!"
The group of people came to a tent not far away. A large table large enough to seat ten people was placed in the middle, with guards standing on the left and right.
Shen Tang took the main seat, Chen Junqing sat under Shen Tang's left hand, and the other generals were arranged in order of rank.
"Order people to serve food!"
After a while, a dozen soldiers came in carrying plates and bowls and placed them on the table.
Chen Junqing, who originally had some expectations for this banquet, was dumbfounded.
I can't say bad things about this dish.
At least, ordinary people can't afford it.
However, let alone compare with the banquets of wealthy families, even the dishes in ordinary restaurants are much better than this.
The dishes were all made in large pots, and the rice was made from large barrels of coarse rice! Chen Junqing felt dizzy when he looked at the big greasy elbow in the middle.
"Master Chen, our army is naturally inferior to Lin'an, and our soldiers are in daily hardship.
Speaking of which, my brothers are still under the influence of Mr. Chen today, but alcohol is prohibited in the army, so I would like to ask Mr. Chen to take some measures!"
