The wind rises at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 56
"Big brother..."

Chen Gong rode forward and shouted in a low voice.

"No hurry, first enter the camp."

Chen Wang raised his horsewhip to stop what Chen Gong wanted to say.

Chen Wang led the horse forward slowly, and more than [-] heavily armed cavalry followed him and stepped into the camp.

Long before entering the city, Chen Wang ordered everyone to wear armor. After all, there were quite a few bandits roaming outside Chunhua City.

Chen Wang and Zhang Waijia had only met each other a few times, so their impressions were very shallow.

When he was in Xi'an, he also met with Cao Wenzhao when he was serving as a personal guard, and there was no verbal communication with each other.

However, when he was in Xi'an, the military discipline of Zhang Waijia's battalion was not good, and there were records of looting places several times.

Local officials also impeached Zhang Waijia, but they were suppressed.

One is that Zhang Waijia himself was able to be promoted to lieutenant general without much military exploits in Liao Town because of his strong background and strong clan. .

The second is that most of the Liao soldiers under Zhang Waijia's command were elite and dared to fight. Hong Chengchou also needed to rely on Zhang Waijia's Liao soldiers to suppress the bandits, so he was a little tolerant.

And Zhang Waijia and Zuo Liangyu also handled things similarly. They were always quite respectful when facing Hong Chengchou, and they didn't restrain military discipline very much.

Chen Wang had expected to encounter this situation.

These Liao soldiers had poor military discipline. After Zhang Waijia's death, there was only one commander left. It is only normal for military discipline to deteriorate.

If he is allowed to lead a team of soldiers at ordinary times, that general estimate can slowly put him on the right track.

But this situation is not normal now, and these soldiers are not soldiers, but routs.

To control so many routs requires not only ability, but also courage.

Entering the camp, the ears are full of loud noises.

However, as more and more people noticed that Chen Wang and others had entered the barracks, the noise gradually became quieter.

The military tents in the camp were in disarray. Logically speaking, the camp should be a place for the school grounds. There were not any ordnance around the camp, but gambling tables and tables with meals.

Many people didn't notice that the situation at the gate of the camp was still noisy.

In the center of the school field, two strong soldiers in heavy armor were wrestling with each other.

Many people around are waving flags and shouting, applauding.

There is also a wooden table in the open area in the center, with a lot of money piled up on the left and right sides of the table, it looks like a bet, betting on who will win in the end.

Among the crowd, there were also some soldiers hugging a woman in red and green, who was quite eye-catching among the crowd in blue and black.

The first thing that was wrong was a group of Liao soldiers facing the gate of the camp. They saw a group of cavalrymen filing in.

More than sixty well-armed riders, riding on horses and carrying bows, all dressed in armor from the frontier army, entered the camp.

The leader is wearing a bright white fish-scale general armor, a gray silver high-topped helmet, a red inner lining, and a waist knife belt, which is completely different from the rest of the soldiers wearing ordinary armor.

Even fools know what's going on.

They had already received the news earlier that they were temporarily placed under Cao Wenzhao's command, saying that the new battalion officer would arrive to pick them up soon.

It's just that no one thought that the new battalion officer would come so soon.

The winking people had already knelt down on the ground first, and after a few people knelt down, more people knelt down.

Their actions also made the soldiers around watching the fight realize that something was wrong, and then they all understood the situation one after another.

All the Liao soldiers fell to their knees, not daring to make any more noise. Although those Yingying and Yanyan in red belt and green didn't know what happened, they all knelt down after seeing the murderous soldiers. on the ground.

Chen Wang reined in his horse and sat on the horse, scanning the surroundings of the school grounds.

The din in the camp had all stopped, and all the Liao soldiers showed timid expressions on their faces, and there was no more arrogance or domineering in the slightest.

The two soldiers fighting in the center also knelt down, but they were wearing armor and could only half kneel on the ground.

Although Cao Wenzhao was only a general in Liao Town, his reputation was not small.

Although Cao Wenzhao was not from the Liao Dynasty, all Liao soldiers admired and feared Cao Wenzhao.

Admiration is admiration for Cao Wenzhao's outstanding military exploits and daring to fight bravely.

There are more than [-] warriors under his command, and he fought many field battles with the Houjin soldiers in Liaodong, accumulating military merits all the way to the rank of guerrilla, fighting with one knife and one gun.

During the Battle of the Four Cities, Prime Minister Ma Shilong personally bestowed Shangfang Sword on Cao Wenzhao, and ordered him to lead the generals Wang Chengyin, Zhang Shujia, and Du Si Zuo Liangyu to ambush the dead trees and Hongqiao in Yutian, and defeated the Jin army in the field battle.

Fear is the fear of the military law formulated by Cao Wenzhao.

Most of the people were born in Liaodong, and they all knew that Cao Wenzhao was extremely strict in governing the army, and the laws in the army were strict.

Chen Wang didn't wait long. A rough man with a red face and short beard trotted over in a hurry, and then he knelt down not far in front of him and saluted.

"Humble post Zhao Huailiang, kowtow to the general."

Chen Wang lowered his head slightly, looking condescendingly at Zhao Huailiang who was kneeling in front of him.

Zhao Huailiang called him General, probably because he confused him with Cao Bianjiao, thinking that the new battalion officer was Cao Bianjiao.

This person is the general who escaped from the Liao army camp, who is now the steward of the camp.

He didn't know Zhao Huailiang, but strictly speaking, the two were somewhat related, because Zhao Huailiang was also from Guangning, and they belonged to the same hometown.

With convenient transportation and wide circulation of people in later generations, it is difficult to understand the rural complex of this era.

Fellow countrymen in this era are a very important connection, just like the party struggles in the imperial court are basically divided according to regions, such as the Chu Party and the Zhejiang Party.

When Chen Wang entered the camp, Zhao Huailiang was still hungover, and just woken up by the noise, his servant told him that the new camp officer had arrived!
Zhao Huailiang was so scared that he had to leave the tent without even putting on his coat. Fortunately, the servants of the guards didn't lose their heads. They hurriedly helped Zhao Huailiang put on his clothes, and followed Zhao Huailiang all the way to the school grounds.

Chen Wang was not in a hurry to speak, nor did he explain his identity, but looked around the school ground again, waited for a while, and then said coldly.

"Zhao Bazong is really good at running the army."

Zhao Huailiang shuddered all over, his drunkenness last night was also frightened and dissipated for a few minutes, and his heart was even more terrified.

The battalion officer was replaced in the battalion, and the new officer had to stand up and intimidate the three armies when he took office. He failed to restrain the army, and this time he hit the muzzle.

Zhao Huailiang groaned secretly in his heart, when the previous military order came, Cao Wenzhao's army was still more than 500 miles away, it was only the third day, why did the new battalion officer arrive so much earlier.
