Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 296 Deserters
Hou Mo and Chen Yi said that Li Jing praised Luo Cheng for his courage as Luo Hu, which is a great compliment.

According to historical records, this fierce general who was killed in the pacification of Yang Liang's rebellion a few years ago, was good at riding and shooting, good at hawks and dogs at the age of fifteen, he was a hero, gathered for his life, and practiced art of war.He advised him from his grandfather that I am respectful in this world, but if you indulge yourself, it is difficult to protect your family. If you don't lose your life, your family will be destroyed.

But this one was not changed. Later, with his bravery and recruited subordinates, he fought for Nanchen and was awarded an official position for his meritorious service.Then he embarked on an official career and fought for Nan Chen.When he was fighting with Northern Qi, he was shot in the left eye by a Liu Ya, but this guy pulled out the arrow and ate it directly, and then leaped forward, all without clothes.

Therefore, General Xiao Mahe of Nanchen made him his deputy general, and followed him to win countless battles.One time he entered Xuzhou and fought against the Northern Zhou Dynasty in Pengcheng. The main general Xiao Mahe fell off his horse in front of the battle.

Later, the governor of Luohu, Yuzhang and other ten counties, fought against the southern expedition of the Sui Dynasty.

The soldiers and horses he led refused to attack the troops of Yang Jun, one of the Marshals of Chen Sanlu, so that Yang Jun could not break through for several months.Later, it was not until Yang Guang defeated Jiankang and captured Chen Houzhu alive that Chen Houzhu wrote in his hand to persuade him to surrender.After entering the Sui Dynasty, they continued to conquer east and west, and achieved success.

Even the first emperor admired such a brave general, calling him the first of the five great generals, and the second of Shi Wansui.

Now Li Jing said that Luo Chengcheng is the second Luo Hu.

"Hou Mochen joined the army, thank you so much for the prefect's kindness, but I have already worshiped the Prime Minister of Qi as my teacher before, and I have to write to the teacher first and ask his opinion before I can answer."

Hou Mo and Chen Yi were a little surprised.

Ordinary people can worship Li Jing as their teacher, but if they don't agree immediately, after passing this village, there may not be that shop again.Who is Li Jing?He was one of the five great generals who were praised by the first emperor, just like Luo Hu.

What's more, compared to Zhou Luohou, Li Jing himself came from the core family of the Guanlong Group.Not to mention anything else, since Li Jing was dismissed two years ago for criticizing the emperor's west tour, but he was able to come back so quickly, we know the strength of the Li family and Li Jing.

With such a person as a teacher, the court will have a backer from now on.

Compared with Li Jing, although Zhang Xutuo was also from the Guanlong family, he was not from the core family.Although Zhang Xutuo has also fought many battles, but now he is only a magistrate, not even a title.

As for Li Jing, he was named the Duke of Hua, and he has already become a general of the twelve guards.

"If Zhang Juncheng disagrees, are you going to reject this good deed?" Hou Mo Chen Yi asked.

"Master Zhang is my old student. Without his consent, I dare not ask others to be my teacher. This is the way of a disciple." Luo Cheng said.He is indeed very willing to worship Li Jing as his teacher, and he also understands the benefits of worshiping Li Jing as his teacher, but when Zhang Xutuo accepted him as his disciple, he didn't have any utilitarian intentions, so he really cherished him and appreciated him, although he said now I have some status, but I can't forget that teacher.

Hou Mo and Chen Yi took a deep breath.

Slowly said, "Luo Juncheng is a righteous man, I believe the prefect will be happier after hearing your thoughts. Don't worry about this matter, the prefect will definitely wait for your news, or he will write a letter to Zhang Juncheng , have a good talk with Zhang Juncheng about this matter."

"Actually, I believe that Zhang Juncheng will not refuse this matter."

Hou Mochen left with some regrets, but he still believed that although there were some twists and turns, the goal would be achieved in the end.But when he left, there was only one person left behind, Li Zhen, Li Jing's grandson.

This Li Zhen is sixteen years old. He practiced riding and archery when he was young.

"The prefect said, let Xiao Lang study next to the Juncheng, and the Juncheng will see if there is a suitable position in the Junbing, and arrange for him to be a flag-carrying guard."

After finishing speaking, this Hou Mochen joined the army and left.

A tall and strong boy with a childish face was left standing there looking at him.

Luo Cheng also looked at the boy.

The grandson of the Duke, young and brave, I can see that this young man is somewhat arrogant, but compared to Yu Wenhua and this kind of dude, he is much better.

They looked at each other for a long time.

Li Zhen finally spoke.

"Why do you dare to fight against Yu Wenhuaji? Are you not afraid?"

Luo Cheng smiled, "What are you afraid of? People carry their heads on their shoulders. I, Luo Cheng, don't take the initiative to cause trouble, but I'm not afraid of trouble when others provoke me. Otherwise, I just blindly admit cowardice, and this person can't live well." Become a wimp?"

Li Zhen smiled.

"No wonder my grandfather admired you so much and insisted on letting me come to you. Now I understand that it is really good enough. I, Li Zhen, like you like this, so I stayed."

Luo Cheng thought, I didn't promise to take you in.But seeing the boy's willful appearance, he didn't have the heart to refuse.

"Arrange an errand for me, or I'll be your standard bearer."

The standard bearer is actually a very important position. For example, Luo Cheng has [-] troops under his command, and the standard bearer who can carry the banner of the Chinese army must be at the level of a school lieutenant.Among a team of hundreds of people, the one who can carry the flag is second only to the leader and deputy in the team.

"My standard bearer is my adopted son Kan Leng, why don't you be the deputy standard bearer?" Luo Cheng asked with a smile.

Li Zhen thought for a while, "You let that Kan Leng fight with me. If he is better than me, then I will be his deputy standard-bearer. If he can't beat me, then I will be the standard-bearer and he will be my deputy." Standard bearer."

"Hahaha." Luo Cheng laughed loudly, thinking that this young man was quite to his liking.

·······
The night is dark and windy.

The army camp of the county in the city.

Dou Jiande shook his head at Sun Anzu.

"I can't just leave like this. We can indeed avoid the revenge of Yu Wenhuaji if we leave, but what about Jun Cheng?"

"Jun Cheng can handle Yu Wenhuaji by himself. Let's go, and then he can tell Yu Wenhuaji directly that we have escaped, and the matter will be settled."

"It's not that simple." Dou Jiande still shook his head.

in the dark.

Five Hebei military officers were arguing fiercely.

Sun Anzu was afraid of Yu Wenhuaji, and was already thinking of escaping.And Gao Shida was instigated by Sun Anzu, and he also wanted to escape a little bit.

Dou Jiande opposed the escape.

The brothers came to Liaodong and joined the soldiers on the way. Now they finally fought for a position of 200 people with swords, so they gave up all this and fled.

He was reluctant.

Besides, escaping like this is also a disappointment to Jun Cheng's love and trust for their brothers.

In the end, there was no result.

Wang Fubao and Liu Heita were willing to listen to Dou Jiande. He left as soon as he said, and they stayed as long as he said.

The brothers finally dispersed and returned to the base camp.

dawn.

The sound of the wake-up call sounded, and the soldiers in the barracks got up from the warm kang one after another.

Wash, breakfast.

Then click Mao.

Bu Ertuan Dianmao found few people.

"Sun Anzu and Gao Shida, the 200-member elders of the Third Battalion of the Second Regiment, disappeared, as did the twenty Hebei fellows from their battalion. Preliminary investigations revealed that they ran away."

Guo Xiaoke, the lieutenant of the third battalion, reported to Luo Cunxiao, the general of the second regiment, with a livid face.

"Run away? What do you mean, where did you go?" asked the fourth child.

"Escaped! Became a deserter." Guo Xiaoke lowered his head in shame.

I think Luo Cheng has led a team for several years since he started the Changbai Township Army Corps. From a small team to the current Liaodong County Army with 6000 soldiers, he has led all kinds of soldiers, but no officer has yet appeared. escaped.

In the last war, a group of five people in the same fire escaped, were caught, and were all beheaded.

And now, it's not the time of war, there are still officers leading the team to escape.Two 200-man long, this is a battalion-level officer.

Actually also can run.

"Have you found out?" The fourth child also turned dark.

"I ran away in the middle of the night last night, I guess I ran away during the changing of the guard, damn it." Guo Xiaoke cursed.

"All three of your battalions are shit-eating? Did no one find out? Didn't they find out until after midnight? What about the same team?"

"Those 20 people belonged to two fires, and they ran as a whole group. In order to be easy to lead, they were all grouped together from their hometowns. It turned out that the two fires were both from Zhangnan, Hebei, where Sun Anzu and Sun Anzu lived. They ran together at night without anyone noticing."

"And Sun Anzu and Sun Anzu are 200 people long, and they both have one person and one house."

"Don't make useless nonsense with me, you are all trash. Have you sent someone to chase after you?"

"I have already sent someone to chase it, but it is estimated that it has already run far away."

The fourth child snorted, "Damn it, the fifth child defended those two bastards with all their might, and these two bastards ended up like this? Escape?"

It is not a trivial matter to escape two 200-man commanders and twenty soldiers all at once, and it will also implicate Luo Cheng, the prefect of the county.

The fourth child went directly to Luo Cheng and reported the situation to him. At this moment, he could no longer care about the face of the second regiment, and had to arrest him, "Although the third battalion sent people to chase after him, I think it is still necessary to send the Qingqi battalion. Or the Scout Battalion, they're better at tracking."

"In addition, I have ordered people to tie up Dou Jiande, Wang Fubao, and Liu Heitai, and a group of their fellow villagers who came here have also been tied up."

Luo Cheng frowned.

"Sun Anzu and Gao Shida ran away with others, and they had to be chased. But Dou Jiande and the others didn't run away. Why did you tie them up?"

"Maybe they wanted to run away too, but they just didn't find a chance." The fourth child now has a very bad impression of the Hebei people, "These damn Hebei people."

Luo Cheng rushed to the barracks of the second regiment.

The three Dou Jiande brothers, together with more than 100 fellow villagers, were all tied up, and when it was very cold, they were tied up and thrown on the school field to kneel.

"Untie the rope."

Luo Cheng came over and ordered directly.

He came to Dou Jiande and everyone, and helped him up himself.

"Get up."

Dou Jiande refused to get up.

"Jun Cheng, I'm sorry Jun Cheng, I didn't take good care of my brothers and let them become deserters."

"You are the 200-man leader of the fourth battalion, and Sun Anzu and Gao Shida are the 200-man leader of the third battalion. They escaped and have nothing to do with you. They also took away people from the third battalion, which also has nothing to do with you."

"But they are from my hometown, and they have told me several times before that they want to escape. They said that after they escaped, the Jun Cheng would not have to trouble us for offending Yu Wenhuaji. I persuaded them, but I didn't tell the Jun Cheng Report, I thought they were just talking, but I didn’t expect that they really ran away.”

"Okay, you guys had planned it long ago, and you are all in one group." The fourth child shouted angrily.

Luo Cheng glared at the fourth child, and then pulled Dou Jiande up forcefully, "You are indeed responsible for not reporting in time, but it is only partly responsible. Sun Anzu and the others deserted, but you did not. Get up now!"

Dou Jiande gritted his teeth.

"Jun Cheng, I request that I go and arrest Sun Anzu and Gao Shida in person!"

"it is good."

Unexpectedly, Luo Cheng agreed without hesitation, and then asked Dou Jiande, Liu Heita, and Wang Fubao to take the more than 100 people who were tied here together just now, and let them chase Sun Anzu and other deserters.

When they rode out of the camp, the fourth child frowned and asked, "Aren't you afraid that Dou Jiande and the others will also run away?"

Luo Cheng just smiled.

Wei Zheng said on the side, "If Dou Jiande and the others can chase them back, they will naturally be cleared of their suspicion of conspiring to escape. But if they really escape, don't forget that the county magistrate has already sent a scout battalion. Can people like Dou Jiande escape under their noses?"

Wei Zheng smiled, Luo Cheng asked Dou Jiande and the others to chase after them, just to give them a chance to prove themselves.As for how to choose, it all depends on them.
