Chapter 123: embarking on the journey

In a daze, Chen Wanrong felt someone coming in, and woke up in shock. When he opened his eyes, he saw Zheng Qing coming in with hot water. Seeing Chen Wanrong woke up, Zheng Qing smiled and said, "Get up quickly."

Chen Wanrong rubbed his eyes and looked at him, "It's still early."

Zheng Qing came over and said, "It's not too late! Today is your day to go to war, and there are a lot of things to do. If you don't get up, it's probably too late."

After she reminded her, Chen Wanrong also woke up and began to dress: "This general is really hard to be. If I don't become this general, what time will I love to sleep until it is."

While helping with clothes, Zheng Qing said, "You general are lazy enough. Those famous generals will open their eyes even when they fall asleep. They are the passionate hearts of the entire army, and they control the entire army."

Thinking about Ge Shuhan, when she arrived in the army, she changed her whole body, became passionate and excited, like a ball of beating flames. Her words were simply too reasonable. Chen Wanrong nodded in agreement: "What you said makes sense."

"Otherwise, famous generals are not that easy to be like!" Zheng Qing encouraged Chen Wanrong: "Wu Han, a famous general in the Eastern Han Dynasty, received the orders of the Chao, and led the way above the generals. Guangwu loved him and handed over the military affairs that others could not complete. Wu Han did not let down Guangwu's entrustedness. When other generals rested, he was always practicing the tools of defense and fighting. Whenever, as long as Guangwu gave his order, his army could fight immediately."

Guangwu, Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Wu Han, a general of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and one of the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai.

Chen Wanrong sighed: "This Wu Han is the real general!"

"That's not it!" Zheng Qing agreed with Chen Wanrong's statement: "Wu Han often leads warriors to be the military front and is invincible. As long as you work hard, you can do it."

Chen Wanrong laughed and said, "This kind of general is not something that idlers can do. I don't have this talent and I don't have this idea, so I won't go to Handan to learn to walk. When this battle is over, I will be relieved and return to the field. Be with you and live our little lives as ordinary people, and I will be satisfied."

It was very attractive to spend a small life together. Zheng Qing was moved. However, now he could not express his thoughts. He had to encourage Chen Wanrong: "A man is determined to be in all directions. You can spread your wings and fly to the sky. I believe you can do it!"

Chen Wanrong understood her painstaking efforts, and felt very warm in her heart, holding Zheng Qing's tenderness: "I'm not here for this time, you have to take good care of yourself!"

"You must take care of yourself too! You have to promise me that you must return safely!" Zheng Qing leaned her head against Chen Wanrong's shoulder.

Chen Wanrong nodded and said, "It must be! If I don't come back, wouldn't it make you sad?"

Zheng Qing raised her head, kissed Chen Wanrong on the lips, and said shyly: "My father said that when you return from the war, we will get our business done."

Chen Wanrong loved to hear these words and said with a smile: "It should have been done long ago!" He hugged Zheng Qing and intimate for a while, and then with the help of Zheng Qing, he finished washing up.

As soon as he left the door, he saw Zheng Jianqiu and his wife, Zheng Wanru and Qing'e and others in the courtyard. When he saw Chen Wanrong, Zheng Jianqiu smiled and greeted him: "Son-in-law, today is your day to go to war. We have a lot to say to you. However, the military orders are like mountains and cannot be put on hold. If nothing happens, go quickly and don't miss the trip."

The feelings of ordinary people must be full of advice and instructions, and there are endless words to say and endless words. Zheng Jianqiu knew the general and put the overall situation first, which made Chen Wanrong particularly moved: "What my father-in-law said is very true, the son-in-law will leave now. Father-in-law, mother-in-law, the family will ask you." He glanced at Zheng Qing, meaning that he wanted them to look forward to Zheng Qing.

With the affection between the two, Chen Wanrong went to the battlefield. Zheng Qing must be worried. Zheng Zhou smiled and said, "Wanrong, go with confidence. There is your father-in-law and me in the family. There will be no accident!"

Zheng Wanru's young man was so energetic that he was: "Brother-in-law, you must kill more Tubo dogs! Over the years, the Tubo people have been capricious, betrayed, and always disturbed the border and killed the people. This is their fault!"

"It's like, don't worry, brother-in-law understands!" Chen Wanrong understood his idea of ​​a "hot-blooded young man".

Zheng Qing was supposed to send Chen Wanrong, but she stopped Chen Wanrong. Zheng Jianqiu and his wife also understood that if Zheng Qing was asked to send him, they would not know where they would go. Maybe they would have sent him one trip and another. When they stopped, they were already a hundred miles away, and they stopped Zheng Qing with all their advice.

With tears in his eyes, Zheng Qingyi said goodbye until she disappeared from Chen Wanrong's back and could no longer help crying.

Before Chen Wanrong took a few steps, Qing'e caught up with him in panting. Chen Wanrong pulled the reins and the blue and white stopped. Chen Wanrong looked at Qing'e and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Qing'e's face was red and she wanted to speak but stopped. Chen Wanrong frowned and asked, "If you have something to say, say it quickly, and go back if you have nothing to do."

After plucking up the courage, Qing'e twisted her fingers: "Can you help me take good care of him!"

"He?" Chen Wanrong was stunned and finally understood that Qing'e was worried about Liu Fuqing's safety and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we are artillerymen, there will be no danger."

Although Chen Wanrong had never been to the battlefield, he also understood that the battlefield was dangerous and no one dared to say that he would definitely come back alive. In order to reassure Qing'e, he had to say so.

Artillery is a long-range army and generally does not engage in close contact with the enemy. The possibility of survival is much greater. Qing'e nodded gently: "Thank you! You are a good person!"

This is the first time that Chen Wanrong has praised Chen Wanrong so much since she met her. Chen Wanrong is really a little fond of: "Then you have to take good care of her for me!"

"Don't worry, I will do my best!" Qing'e nodded and turned back.

Chen Wanrong shook his head and drove on the horse. He first rushed to the Longwu Army camp and saw Geshuhan, Wang Shaohua, Wang Zhongsi and Ge Fushun waiting for him.

"I'm late, let's wait for you for a long time!" Chen Wanrong bowed his fists.

Ge Fushun, who had never criticized Chen Wanrong, frowned: "General Chen, it's not me who said to you. What a big deal this expedition is? Who is not in a hurry to come? You are so lucky, you are not delayed. If you meet those famous generals of ancient times, you will suffer."

Before Chen Wanrong could speak, Ge Shuhan smiled and said, "General Ge is so serious. The military order is as good as a mountain, and there must be a time limit. There is still a while before Dianmao. Although General Chen is the last one to arrive, it is still not considered a violation of military rules."

Ge Fushun was still a little dissatisfied: "General Chen, you are the main general, you should be the first to come, so that is the example."

Ge Shuhan smiled and retorted: "Although General Ge's words are reasonable, Ge Shuhan believes that this is just the last quarter. As a general, the focus is on determining the situation, encouraging the morale of the army, and building the hearts of soldiers. The most important thing is to reward and punish. Even if a general gets up every day and is the first to handle affairs, he cannot clearly determine the reward and punishment, cannot make the soldiers determined to die, that is an incompetent general. Huo Piaoyao led his army to fight, and he wanted to take the cook to the battlefield. He threw away the food he could not finish eating at will, but most of his soldiers died of cold and hunger. However, Huo Piaoyao always wins battles. Can you say he is incompetent? The reason why Huo Piaoyao can win is because he did the big things that the general should do, rather than grasping some last quarters."

Huo Piaoyao refers to Huo Qubing. Huo Qubing was a genius commander. He went to war at the age of 18 and died of illness at the age of 24. He attacked the Huns six times in his life, two as a captain, and four as a general. He and Wei Qing were two generals under Emperor Wu of Han, but their styles were completely different.

Wei Qing was able to share the joys and sorrows with his soldiers, so the generals and soldiers under the general loved him very much. It was precisely because Wei Qing got the morale of the army that he fought many tough battles throughout his life.

Huo Qubing was different. He did not read Sun Wu's books, did not follow the ancient methods, and was as wild as ever when fighting wars. Later generations criticized him many times, saying that he was arrogant and did not care about his soldiers. He had to take his own chef when he went to the battlefield. In the winter, he wore fox fur that could melt snow, and threw away the food he could not finish, while most soldiers died of cold and hungry.

However, Huo Qubing's soldiers did not resent him, but liked to fight with him because he had clear rewards and punishments, and he could always win battles with him. When he went to the Hexi Corridor twice, the total force he invested was only 30,000 elite cavalry, but it defeated the 240,000 Hun army entrenched in the Hexi Corridor, which was a miracle.

Although it was a trivial matter, the two of them had a difficult debate. At first, Chen Wanrong wanted to stop the two from talking. After hearing a few words, he wanted to see who was better and worse. He thought to himself, "Ge Fushun was valued earlier than Ge Shuhan, and Ge Shuhan was able to come from behind and become a famous general in the generation. He is indeed much more intelligent than Ge Fushun."

Ge Fushun spoke speechlessly for a while and then said, "The way for generals is different, so there is no need to agree!"

Still dissatisfied and still stubborn. Chen Wanrong then said, "Two, today is not the time to discuss the way of generals, so there is no need to worry about it anymore. General Ge reminded that I should come early. But you all know that I am the general, and I am not worthy of it. Please don't blame me anymore!"

To be honest, Ge Fushun was convinced by Chen Wanrong's character, courage and character, but he was not convinced by Chen Wanrong's military talent. In his heart, he was very disrespectful to Chen Wanrong as a general. After hearing this, he felt relieved and stopped talking.

Five people came to the Longwu Army's schoolyard together, and they saw that today's Longwu Army's schoolyard was very different from the past, and it was a busy scene. It was normal for artillery soldiers to go on the battle, but the Longwu Army was not only busy, but also busy moving wine jars and placing large bowls. Chen Wanrong couldn't help but be surprised and asked, "General Ge, what are you doing?"

Ge Fushun laughed and stroked his beard and replied: "General Chen, to be honest, I really hope that the two of us will change. I will take the artillery to fight. Although our Longwu Army is the elite of the Tang Dynasty, when it comes to going to the battlefield, we can't even think about it. The artillery is also the Longwu Army. Brothers go to the battlefield, how can we not give us a bowl of storm wine?"

The Longwu Army is responsible for the order in Chang'an. Generally speaking, they cannot go to the battlefield. There are two situations for them to go to the battlefield. One is the emperor's special order to pull the Longwu Army to the battlefield. The other is that the front is tight and they have to put the Longwu Army on the battlefield. The possibility of these two situations is slim, so Ge ​​Fushun is very envious.

Chen Wanrong stayed in the Longwu Army camp for this time and knew this army very well. They were full of courage and a strong fighting spirit. When talking about going to the battlefield, everyone was excited, but the opportunity was too slim for them, and half-joking: "General Ge, where did you say this? The artillery is also the Longwu Army. The artillery goes to the battlefield, that is, the Longwu Army goes to the battlefield!"

"Yes, yes! Artillery is the Dragon Martial Army. When you go to the battlefield, we go to the battlefield!" When Ge Fushun heard this, he raised his eyebrows, narrowed his eyes into a small slit, and laughed loudly, very happy.

Ge Shuhan asked Chen Wanrong for his opinion: "General Chen, do you think you should set off now or set off on time?"

Chen Wanrong pondered slightly and said, "I guess the brothers have been impatient for a long time, so let's leave early."

"I've been waiting for your words!" Wang Shaohua was very happy and ordered loudly: "Blow the trumpet!"

As soon as the military horn sounded, the artillery immediately gathered and lined up in square formations. Everyone stood straight, looking ahead, and were full of energy.

The artillery was wrapped tightly with oil cloth, and no one except the insider knew that it was an artillery. The shells were not only neatly installed, but also took precautions.

Chen Wanrong looked through and was very satisfied. What satisfied Chen Wanrong the most was that the artillery had specially prepared two cars, and they were putting bars and ropes in front of them. This was for the unexpected situation, so as to lift the artillery.

This is a masterpiece of Geshuhan's training. Chen Wanrong patted on the bar: "Brother Geshu, it's effective. Brothers, you're even ready for this, very good, very good!"

Ge Fushun reminded him: "General Chen, please say a few words and let your brothers drink a bowl of Zhuangxing wine, and you can embark on the journey!"

"Okay!" Chen Wanrong stood in front of the artillery, glanced at it, and slowly spoke: "Brothers: Today is our big day! Today, we will embark on the journey of expedition to Tubo from here from Chang'an! I want to tell you that the battlefield is dangerous and life and death are unpredictable. Are there anyone who dares not go? If you don't want to go, you can not go! Don't worry, we won't laugh at you!"

"Swear to kill the enemy!"

"Serve the court!"

The artillery answered with two majestic shouts.

Chen Wanrong continued: "Anyone of you will encounter danger and will not come back alive. They will die in the battlefield! I dare not say anything else, I can only guarantee one thing: no matter what kind of danger I encounter, I will be with my brothers!"

Chen Wanrong has proved this with his actions. No one in the Longwu Army will doubt it. Even if it is a little bit, he responded in unison: "Life and die with the general!"

This is a cry from the heart, which is very different from a pure slogan like a cry. Ge Fushun heard it in his ears and was shocked in his heart, "This Chen Wanrong has character and courage, but he has never commanded the army or fought a war. How could he win the morale of the army so much?"

"The future generations will always remember this great day today: On July 3, 2018, the second year of Jingyun, the Tang Dynasty, a thousand artillery soldiers rushed from Chang'an to Shibao City! A glorious history will be created by you. Brothers, the important task of destroying Tubo fell on our shoulders, and we are lucky!" Chen Wanrong finished his speech.

"Destroy Tubo! Destroy Tubo!"

This roar not only came from the mouth of the artillery, but also the Dragon Martial Army also raised its arms and shouted. More than 10,000 people shouted in unison, how majestic the momentum was, and the earth was trembling!

Tubo, a country that the Tang people hated, destroyed Tubo was the wish of the Tang people!

Although the destruction of Tubo was not the target of this operation, the fate of Tubo was determined by these thousand artillery soldiers. From the moment the artillery set out on the journey, Tubo could not escape the fate of destruction!

Ge Fushun was greatly infected and energetic, like a lion ready to fight at any time. After Chen Wanrong finished his lecture, he glanced at the artillery and encouraged the artillery: "Brothers: I am Ge Fushun. In the coming year, I will command you, eat, live and share the joys and sorrows with you! When you go to the battlefield, I am proud of you! Longwu Army, someone has finally gone to the battlefield! Do you know? The brothers of Longwu Army are envious of you!"

The artillery and the Longwu Army have a close connection. Before leaving, the artillery and the brothers of the Longwu Army bid farewell. I know this is true. The most common sentence of the Longwu Army is "Brother, you are lucky than me! You can go to the battlefield, but I can't, you can only defend in Chang'an! When you arrive on the battlefield, you have to fight hard! Show the power of the Longwu Army! Help your brothers kill a few more Tubo dogs!"

"We are the Dragon Martial Army!" The artillery said a word that he did not forget his true nature.

Ge Fushun was very happy to hear this and nodded excitedly: "Brothers: I am happy for your words! Now you are about to go to the battlefield. I, Ge Fushun, cannot go to the battlefield, so I can only ask my brothers to kill more Tubo dogs and grow the majesty of China! You must show the momentum of the Dragon Martial Army!"

"Kill the Tubo dogs and make you more ambitious in China!" The artillery and the Longwu Army cheered in unison!

Graham said at the end: "Now, please drink a bowl of storm wine and embark on the journey!"

"General Thank you!"

Ge Fushun waved his hand, and the Longwu Army soldiers came over with wine bowls, each artilleryman. Chen Wanrong, Ge Shuhan, Wang Shaohua, Wang Zhongsi, Ge Fushun, carried the wine bowls and rushed towards the artilleryman, and said in unison: "Brothers: Do it!"

"Dry!"

Drinking them all together, Ge Fushun waved his right hand, and his movements were powerful. The wine bowl in his hand hit the ground, shattering it.

This was a kind of determination before the army set out. Chen Wanrong smashed the wine bowl on the ground. A bang sounded, and fragments of the ground appeared on the ground. The artillery's eyes were filled with eager light and blood boiled!

Chen Wanrong waved his hand and shouted: "Go away!"

Wang Shaohua walked in his head, and the artillery soldiers followed one by one. Thirty-five artillery and dozens of shell cars drove out of the schoolyard amid the sound of the car.

The Longwu Army lined up in an orderly formation, silent. When the artillery soldiers passed by them, Ge Fushun waved the flag in his hand, and the Longwu Army shouted in unison, "Brothers: Kill more enemies! Brothers: Kill more enemies!"

"Brothers: Kill more enemies!" The roars were endless, and the sounds were rising into the sky, shaking the earth.

Chen Wanrong and Ge Fushun said goodbye and jumped onto the blue and white porcelain. The blue and white porcelain was particularly excited, raised their front hooves, stood alone, making a majestic horse neighing, moving forward.

When I left the schoolyard, I saw many people on the roadside, guiding the Longwu Army and talking. Such a big noise in the schoolyard had already alarmed the people nearby and came to watch the fun.

The artillery's powerful reputation won the applause of the people. An old man with gray hair, leaning on a crutch, sighed "Why worry about the Tang Dynasty's failure to prosper? The warriors go to war, and the Tang Dynasty will prosper!"
Chapter completed!
