At the entrance of the Chinese army's tent, Sun Chuanting led a group of generals under his command and extended his hand to signal to the man in front of him.
The generals under him all opened their eyes wide and looked at the person in front of them curiously, as if there were some flowers on the person.
"I am really flattered by the courtesy of my Lord Soldier. I don't deserve it... I don't deserve the courtesy of my Lord Soldier!" The visitor was very surprised when he saw it, and he quickly responded with fists in his hands, his voice sounding like an oriole.
"Women are not allowed to be inferior to men!" Sun Chuanting, who was usually expressionless, showed a rare expression and said to her with a smile, "I have heard about your reputation in the military for a long time. Now I have been ordered to come to this remote place to help reform.
As for the strategy of Tuguiliu, why not bother with me welcoming him?"
After saying this, he stretched out his hand again and said: "Please!"
His guest was none other than the only upright female official in the Ming Dynasty today, Chen Yuanyuan, deputy political envoy.
Because the new policy of reforming native lands and returning to local affairs was promulgated throughout the country, it was very important in publicity. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen issued an order to transfer Chen Yuanyuan to the southwest to assist Sun Chuanting in the matter of reforming native lands and returning to local affairs.
The reason why Chen Yuanyuan was transferred instead of Ruan Dacheng was because a large army gathered in the southwest. They had been chasing Liu bandits from north to south for nearly two years. In the next few years, they will continue to fight with Liu in the southwest.
When fighting thieves and chieftains, morale is very important.
Ruan Dacheng's advantage lies in opera and traditional repertoire; while Chen Yuanyuan's advantage lies in the new propaganda methods, which happen to be the most suitable for the southwest. And her reputation in the army under Ma Shiying is very good. Therefore, she sent
She came over.
No, even Sun Chuanting heard that Chen Yuanyuan was very loved by Ma Shiying's soldiers... As for him, he had suffered a defeat in the past two months. Hearing Chen Yuanyuan's arrival was of great help to him.
She was a rare woman, so she led her generals out of the central military tent to greet her.
At this time, Chen Yuanyuan did not dare to make excuses in front of Sun Chuanting. She quickly and politely asked Sun Chuanting to go first, and then she followed in.
The generals under Sun Chuanting looked at Chen Yuanyuan's back. They were all smiling. It's better to meet him than to be famous. This deputy political envoy is so beautiful. He is pleasing to the eye and comfortable to listen to. It is a rare encounter in the military.
Arrived, so blessed!
There was only one general who didn't smile much.
The comrade next to him saw it and knew what was going on, so he patted him on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry about it all the time. I will definitely attack you later, and you will definitely get revenge by then!"
This man was He Renlong who had suffered a defeat. Although he was not punished after he escaped, he was still unhappy and wanted to fight back to take revenge. However, Sun Chuanting did not give in and just mobilized various armies.
They cooperated with each other more closely, disrupting the connection between the mountains and the outside world.
Just like that, after entering the Chinese military tent, Chen Yuanyuan quickly asked Sun Chuanting after finishing her polite remarks: "Sir, do you know who General He is?"
Hearing this, everyone in the Zhongjun tent was a little confused, and subconsciously turned their heads to look at He Renlong. They were thinking, could they possibly know each other?
He Renlong himself was a little confused. What was going on? He didn't know him, and he had never interacted with him before. Why was he named?
Thinking of this, his face suddenly drooped. Could it be that he had lost the battle, so he wanted to set himself up as a role model?
It must be this, otherwise, the other generals would not call their names, but would call his own as soon as they came. Isn't this obvious?
These civil servants are not good people!
Of course, except Mr. Sun!
When he thought this, his face became a little ugly. He looked at Sun Chuanting, "What do you mean by looking at the adults?"
Sun Chuanting also had a bit of a misunderstanding. When he heard Chen Yuanyuan's roll call, he frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong?"
Seeing his look, Chen Yuanyuan knew that Sun Chuanting had misunderstood, so she quickly smiled and said: "When I came here, Your Majesty told me that General He was ambushed by a superior enemy, but he was not afraid of danger and fought to the death. He was really brave. He must
The lower official compiled a sketch about General He's deeds and made it famous all over the world, setting it as an example for all armies!"
Upon hearing this, everyone did not expect it, and could not help but turn their heads to look at He Renlong again, with envy on everyone's face.
This was the emperor's decree, which means that even the emperor knew about it, and commented that he was not afraid of danger and fought to the death, which is really brave!
It is the best honor for a general to have such an impression in the eyes of the emperor!
Sun Chuanting understood what Chen Yuanyuan meant, smiled again, and immediately shouted: "Congratulations to Renlong!"
He Renlong himself was dumbfounded. He didn't expect such a thing to happen, and he immediately became excited.
In the past, he always thought that he had a very bad impression in the eyes of the current emperor. After all, after he was disgusted and disappointed by Yang Sichang, he had escaped from battle and tricked the governor to death. After Du Yinxi took office, he also demoted him
Punish him and make him meritorious.
It is conceivable that he felt that he must have a bad impression on the emperor's side. Now that the battle was defeated, it was Master Sun who took the responsibility and he was not punished.
Unexpectedly, his performance was so exaggerated by the emperor. To be honest, he was very excited at this time.
Gu Ling
Upon hearing Sun Chuanting's greeting, he immediately stepped out of the queue and responded loudly: "The general is here!"
He didn't know that after all, he was ambushed carelessly and lost many soldiers of the court. Therefore, after fighting to the death, the court neither punished nor rewarded him. However, Emperor Chongzhen still remembered He Renlong's transformation in his heart.
What he needed was a general who could kill the enemy without fear of death, so he let Chen Yuanyuan focus on promoting this aspect of him.
At this time, Chen Yuanyuan turned around and saw him. After knowing that he was He Renlong, she smiled and said: "General, even when ambushed by a superior enemy, he can still retreat with his dead and wounded comrades in formation, without abandoning or giving up.
The camaraderie beyond bravery is truly admirable for this little girl!"
After saying this, she blessed her and used the etiquette of a woman.
Because after hearing He Renlong's deeds, she truly admired him.
In the Ming Dynasty, there were really few generals who could do this, so they had to be well publicized!
When He Renlong saw him, even though he was middle-aged and not without a wife, his face turned red and he was speechless.
When the other generals saw it, they burst out laughing, making He Renlong's face turn even redder.
This was definitely the first time such a scene had occurred in Sun Chuanting's Chinese military tent.
But seeing Sun Chuanting sitting on the main seat and smiling at the scene in front of him, one could tell that he didn't mind.
At this moment, the sound of rapid footsteps came from outside. Then, a guard outside the Chinese army tent stepped inside and reported to Sun Chuanting: "Sir, we have not collected reports all night, and we have found the survivors of General He's men.
!”
Upon hearing this, the red color on He Renlong's face immediately receded, and he immediately turned to look at the guard and asked, "Seriously?"
Sun Chuanting also immediately became serious and immediately ordered: "Come in and talk!"
"Yes!" The guard heard this and immediately agreed. After leaving the central military tent, he quickly brought him in and kept him there all night.
The Ye Bushou clasped his fists to Sun Chuanting and reported: "Sir, my subordinate was responsible for the sentinel inspection of Chieftain Wan Hongwu today. I encountered a group of chieftain soldiers escorting the twenty-three forwards of General He back. Now they are less than three miles away from the military camp.
Way to go!"
After a pause, he immediately added: "They were captured by bandits and tortured. They preferred death over surrender. They moved some bandits before they were able to escape. On the way, they met chieftain soldiers who wanted to perform meritorious service in exchange for grain fields, and then they could come back!"
Hearing that they were the surviving men in the vanguard, He Renlong couldn't wait any longer. He immediately turned around and clasped his fists at Sun Chuanting and said, "Sir, the last general wants to pick them up!"
When Sun Chuanting heard this, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Go!"
After hearing this, He Renlong immediately turned around and strode away without saying a word.
Chen Yuanyuan, who had been listening on the side, saw He Renlong leaving, and turned to look at Sun Chuanting and said, "Sir, I also want to go out and have a look!"
She was very sensitive to the fact that this might be a good subject for publicity. Therefore, she also wanted to take a look at the situation.
After hearing this, Sun Chuanting naturally had no objection and immediately waved his hand and agreed.
Then, looking at the other generals, he simply said: "This discussion ends here, let's disperse!"
When the generals in the Chinese military tent heard this, they immediately saluted and retreated. Afterwards, a group of people calling for friends followed to see what was going on.
You know, it has been almost two months since the end of that battle, and it is still very rare for soldiers to come back alive. By the way, it is better to go and see the beautiful civil servants together than to go back to your group of picky men.
Go to Hanzhong with big feet!
At the back of the Zhongjun tent, Sun Chuanting also ordered Li Yan who came with him to say: "On behalf of me, go and see the situation!"
Li Yan, who had been silent all this time, naturally had no objection after hearing this, and immediately agreed. However, before leaving the camp, he thought about it, turned around again, called the matchmaker, and followed him out.
After Gao Ruli and others came out of the mountain, they were escorted by their own Ye Bu Sui. However, there was no carriage, so Ye Bu Sui gave up their horses and let them ride on them.
Some of the soldiers were too weak to ride horses, so they were carried by the soldiers.
These people, even if they were escorted by the chieftain soldiers before, were actually still holding their breath.
Now that they were escorted by fellow escorts, they were completely relieved. Once they relaxed their minds, they were really exhausted and several of them fainted.
Finally came back alive!
I just don’t know, after suffering such a big defeat, losing all the forwards, and not discovering the enemy’s situation in time, I wonder what the punishment will be when I come back?
While Gao Ruli was thinking about it, he suddenly noticed something moving in the direction of the military camp that he could see far ahead.
