Chapter 26 The reinforcements are frustrated
Chen Yingliang summoned two lieutenants, four brigade commanders and sixteen brigade commanders and sixteen brigade commanders to discuss the matter. Of course, for the issue of the grassroots generals of the newly formed two regiments, Chen Yingliang decided to choose from the four brigade commanders. The selection method was also very simple, let the four brigade commanders report the number of enemies killed by themselves in the last battle, and the two brigade commanders who were the largest number were promoted to lieutenants.
Although the method was a bit ridiculous, the four brigade commanders were already accustomed to Chen Yingliang's style of work, so they were not surprised at all. They soon reported the number of enemies killed. The result was quite surprising that the most quiet brigade commander, Chen Ci, who also took the initiative to express his reward to the families of the fallen soldiers, reported that the number of enemies killed was the largest, with two more than Zhao Yu, who killed the second most, and the number of enemies killed by himself reached an astonishing eleven.
Hearing this, Chen Yingliang was inevitably a little suspicious, some doubting that Chen Ci was lying, but it was hard to say anything without evidence. Guo Feng, a captain with a straightforward personality, stopped doing it and said, "Chen Ci, you killed eleven enemies with your own hands, is it true? In the last battle, I remember that there were only ten enemies I killed with my own hands, and you can have one more than me?"
"I never lie! I happen to have evidence!" Chen Ci blushed and said loudly: "My fourth brother became a monk at the Pure Land Temple twenty miles south of Luoyang City. This time, he returned to the city with the presidency to avoid the war. A few days ago, he came to visit me and begged me to remember the number of enemies I killed on the battlefield. He said that he had killed so many enemies, and he recited the scriptures in front of the Buddha for many times.

To save the dead souls and eliminate my sins, I have always remembered this on the battlefield. The day before yesterday, my fourth brother came to see me again, and I told him how many enemies I killed. He immediately returned to the Buddhist temple in the city to recite scriptures. If you don’t believe it, you can call my fourth brother immediately and ask him in person.”
"I can prove this." A team of Chen Ci brigade was standing up and bowed and said, "When Chen Lushuai's fourth brother came to visit him, I happened to be there, but I didn't hear anything they were talking about."
Guo Feng shut up, Chen Yingliang also smiled and said, "Mencius does not lie. Chen Ci has a compassionate and merciful monk. I believe he will not lie. Just like that, Chen Ci, you serve as the captain of the Third Regiment of the National Army, Zhao Yu, you are the captain of the Fourth Regiment, work hard, and strive to transform from a temporary brigade commander into a formal captain as soon as possible."
Chen Ci and Zhao Yucheng thanked each other and loudly promised to do their job as a captain. Then Chen Yingliang did the same thing and used this method to select six new brigade commanders from the sixteen chiefs and deputy captains, and then asked everyone to recommend the soldiers under his command to select twenty-two chiefs and deputy captains from them. They quickly finalized all the grassroots generals after the expansion of the National Army. As for the team leader, Chen Yingliang no longer worried and handed them over to the four captains to take charge. At the same time, Chen Yingliang ordered the mixed organization of new soldiers to strive to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.
"Tell the new recruits to respect experienced veterans, and also tell the veterans not to bully new recruits with more experience and military achievements. They should be united and friendly. If they find that the new recruits are disrespectful to the veterans, and if veterans bully the new recruits, they will be punished seriously and will not be tolerated!"
Finally, after explaining this sentence, Chen Yingliang, who was sick, was exhausted, and his forehead was sweating. Guo Feng, Chen Zhihong and others were also very sensible. They quickly said goodbye and left for Chen Yingliang to rest. They also expressed that they would continue to train the organizational discipline of the recruits according to Chen Yingliang's method, so that Chen Yingliang would not have to worry. Chen Yingliang, who was really unable to withstand it, agreed with a smile and bowed to everyone and left.
The brigade commanders and brigade commanders were all out. The servants sent by Pei Hongce quickly handed the medicine bowl to Chen Yingliang. When Chen Yingliang was drinking the medicine, the newly promoted marquis Chen Ci leaned into the room again and said to Chen Yingliang: "Chen Jishi, I forgot to tell you something. My fourth brother Chen Qi has also recited the scriptures for praying for blessings and eliminating disasters for you. Please bless the Buddha to get rid of your illness earlier. Don't look at my fourth brother Chen Qi, who is only thirteen years old, but the host of the Pure Land Temple said that he has wisdom and will definitely become a monk in the future, so the scriptures he recites will definitely be useful."
"Thank you, I will thank you in person if I have the opportunity to see your fourth brother." Chen Yingliang nodded with a smile, and wondered in his heart: "Chen Qi? Why do you seem to have heard of this name there?... I can't remember, and I don't know if it is a historical celebrity from our Chen family."
Maybe it was because of a troublesome monk chanting scriptures and praying for blessings. After resting for another night, Chen Yingliang's condition improved greatly. At least his feet were no longer weak when walking. Originally, Chen Yingliang wanted to lead the team to train on the school field, but Guo Feng, Chen Cihe and several other school lieutenants jointly set it out of the school field, saying that he would not let Chen Yingliang continue to ruin his body. Chen Yingliang had no choice but to accept the kindness of a few accomplices and lacked dogs. He found a bench and sat in the shade next to the school field to watch the reorganized training of the national army.
It is good to have veterans trained. Although it took only three or four days to join the National Army, and the organizational discipline of more than 400 new recruits has been qualitatively improved under the guidance of veterans. This is very obvious in the queue and the marching marching. The neat queue can no longer see the traces of the lazy soldiers of the Right Martial Guard. There are few deviations when marching marching. Occasionally, someone can correct them with the help of his companions, and there is no misleading or affecting his companions.
What made Chen Yingliang most happy was the spirit of serving the country. After defeating the rebels in the heavy rain, the self-confidence of serving the country had been clearly established. The rewards of serving the country also allowed the soldiers of serving the country to see the rich rewards of their efforts. Therefore, during the training, not only did the veterans work harder, but also led the new soldiers to rise up and train hard. The slogans on the small school were shaking the sky, and they stepped neatly and pedaled the mountain, forming a lifeless Youwuwei Camp around.

A sharp contrast.
Just as he nodded with satisfaction, Chen Yingliang suddenly glanced at Pei Hongce and led several personal soldiers in from outside the camp. Chen Yingliang did not dare to be negligent, so he quickly ran to Pei Hongce to salute. Pei Hongce quickly supported Chen Yingliang and said with a smile: "There is no enemy situation in Shangchun Gate today. I will take the time to see you. How is your illness?"
"Thank you for your concern, my nephew is already old." Chen Yingliang replied: "If my uncle needs it, my nephew can lead his army out of the city at any time and fight to the death with the Yang rebel army!"
"No hurry, no hurry, wait until your illness is completely cured." Pei Hongce waved his hand and pulled Chen Yingliang to the shade and sat down. He kindly reminded him: "The imperial doctor said that although your illness was caused by heavy rain, the root cause is that your body is too weak. You need to rest more and eat more nourishing things. The ginseng that my uncle sent to you, you have to eat it every day. After eating, just speak, and my uncle sent someone to deliver it to you."
In the past two years, the Sui Dynasty has completely turned aside with Goguryeo, and the land roads with Silla and other countries are blocked. The prices of folk ginseng have risen sharply. Chen Yingliang knows this. Thanks to Pei Hongce, this cheap uncle, Chen Yingliang quickly thanked Pei Hongce sincerely. Pei Hongce smiled and waved his hand, saying that there is no need to thank him. Then Pei Hongce said again: "Nephew, my uncle took the time to come here today. In addition to seeing your situation, there is another thing to tell you so that you can prepare in your heart."
"Please give me advice, uncle." Chen Yingliang replied respectfully.
Pei Hongce's face was a little serious. He first looked around, then lowered his voice and said, "Don't leak it to the outside world, so as not to affect the morale of the army. The news I just received was that our Daxing reinforcements were defeated and suffered heavy losses. Yang Xuangan's rebels won a great victory. Maybe it will lead the main force back to Luoyang in a few days. You will definitely be under great pressure at that time. You must be prepared to face the fierce battle."
"Daxing reinforcements were defeated by a crushing defeat?" Chen Yingliang was a little surprised and asked in a low voice: "Uncle, is it because of Fan Liushou's misreport? Later, the ten alarm messengers sent by Fan Liushou did not send the news of the traitor's division of troops to Lord Wei Xuanwei?"
"Of the ten messengers, three of them sent the alarm message to Wei Xuan, and the other seven were missing." Pei Hongce's expression was solemn, and he introduced in a low voice: "Wei Xuan knew that Yang Ni might have set up an ambush in the steep terrain, and sent an ambush to advance eastward, trying to lure out the ambush and lead the main force of the thief into the ambush circle and annihilate it. However, he didn't know where the fork was there. Yang Ni's army actually knew in advance where Wei Xuan's ambush was. When he was about to enter the ambush circle, he suddenly stopped advancing. He also took out a lot of turbulent oil and fired the mountains on both sides of the road. The ambush arranged by Wei Xuan was in chaos and was forced to escape from the woods. Yang Ni's army took the opportunity to attack, and our reinforcements were defeated."
"Ninety-nine percent are traitors!" Chen Yingliang, who had been analyzing the case for a long time, said quickly: "If the scout of the thief discovered our reinforcements, the Yang thief army would definitely not have time to prepare firewood and turmeric. Since the Yang thief army could quickly take out turmeric oil and wet, it can be concluded based on this point alone that there were traitors in Wei Xuan's team, and secretly told Yang Xuangan the ambush of our reinforcements!"
Pei Hongce's eyes rolled a few times, and soon nodded and said, "It's reasonable. That old guy Yang Su has been in charge of military power for a long time. He has countless old friends in the Guanzhong army. It's too easy for Yang Xuangan to find a few traitors."
"Uncle, what's the current military situation?" Chen Yingliang asked again: "What countermeasures have our reinforcements taken after they were defeated? What actions did the Yang thief army take?"
"Wei Xuan and that old guy Fan Zigai are both stubborn and stubborn." Pei Hongce lowered his voice and said, "He sent a messenger to tell us that after he reorganized the army, he had already set off to Luoyang again. However, the road of the strait of Wuhandao was too steep. Wei Xuan, who had suffered losses, dared not walk too fast, so we had to wait patiently for a few more days. As for Yang Ni's main force, the waste scouts of the Right Wu Guard had not yet discovered their latest developments."
No matter how resourceful Chen Yingliang is, he can't think of any way to deal with the enemy for a while. After careful calculation, Chen Yingliang whispered to Pei Hongce: "Uncle, can you provide a suggestion in front of Fan Liushou to deal with the current situation?"
"This is my purpose for you. Fan Zigai's stubborn old man asked me how to deal with this situation. I just couldn't think of it and came to you." Pei Hongce murmured quietly in his heart, and said very beautifully. "If you have something to say, it's all for the Sui court. As long as your nephew is right, your uncle will definitely make a comment on your behalf."
"Uncle Xie." Chen Yingliang bowed and thanked him, and whispered: "I'm asking my uncle to give advice to Fan Liushou, and suggest that Fan Liushou send a letter to contact Lord Wei Xuanwei, and let Lord Wei's team station troops west of Hangu Pass in the Han Dynasty, deep ditches and high avenues, only guarding without fighting, blocking Yang's rebels' path to westward advance. Then within a month, Yang's traitors will inevitably be wiped out under Luoyang City!"
"Let Wei Xuan's reinforcements stationed to the west of Hangu Pass in the Han Dynasty? Only defend and not fight? Why?" Pei Hongce was stunned.
"Because Lord Wei's army is also unreliable." Chen Yingliang replied in a low voice: "My nephew is from Daxing. He has seen the situation of Daxing's army with his own eyes. He knows that Daxing's Left Wu Guard's army is similar to that of the Right Wu Guard's army. It is very likely that Yang Ni's traitors are in the army. Lord Wei takes such an army to fight the Yang Ni thief's army in the field. To be honest, it is still a lot of danger."
"The garrison is different from the west of Hangu Pass in the Han Dynasty." Chen Yingliang explained by drawing a picture: "I walked this road and knew that the road west of Hangu Pass in the Han Dynasty was still narrow and difficult to move, which was not conducive to the development of the army. Master Wei's team can play three roles on this road. First, avoid the enemy's edge and do not have to take risks to fight the Yang thief army with strong troops, and then lead to great defeat; second, restrain the main force of the Yang thief army who had already divided the troops for us and share the pressure of our Luoyang defenders; third, block the westward road of Yang thief army, so that he cannot threaten Guanzhong. When our other reinforcements arrive, they will bloom inside and outside, and attack from three sides, it will be easy to annihilate the Yang thief army."
Pei Hongce was indeed a little sorry for military affairs. After thinking for a long time, Pei Hongce barely woke up and asked in a low voice: "Nephew, what do you mean is that you have not expected Wei Xuan's reinforcements to defeat Yang Ni's thief army. I just hope that he can restrain Yang Ni's main force and buy time for our other reinforcements to return to the aid?"
"That's true." Chen Yingliang nodded and whispered: "Uncle, don't have any fantasies about the left Wugu. Like the right Wugu, they are young master soldiers who have not fought for more than ten or twenty years. In the end, the elite soldiers were already taken to Liaodong by the emperor. They had basically no chance of winning against Yang Ni's main force in the field. Only by hiding in the silence of the silence of the easy to defend and difficult to attack can they play their greatest role."
"Also, there is another advantage in hiding in the 黑官网, that is, you can attack and retreat or defend, and you can take advantage of the battlefield of counter-rebellion. You can attack at any time. If you suffer a defeat in the 黑官网, they can at least run west. With Mianchi, Hongnong and Tongguan can retreat, and it is unlikely that they will be completely wiped out. But if they walk out of the 黑官网 and go to the open area to fight the main force of the 黑官网, it will be troublesome. As long as the 黑官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网官网�
After hearing Chen Yingliang's persuasion, Pei Hongce thought about it for a few more minutes and quickly nodded and said, "There is a perfect solution for the sake of the 40,000 imperial army. I will go to see Fan Liushou now to advise you. Take care of yourself, uncle, leave first."
After saying that, Pei Hongce got up and left in a hurry. Chen Yingliang sent Pei Hongce out of the camp and watched Pei Hongce hurried to the imperial city to offer advice to Fan Zigai. At the same time, Chen Yingliang said secretly: "Uncle, for your ginseng, I really gave you a good idea this time. I remember that in history, Wei Xuan was almost captured by Yang Xuangan alive. He left a razor-free arrow and shot Yang Xuangan's brother Yang Xuanting to death. Only then did he be lucky that he was not wiped out. Now history has gradually changed. Will Wei Xuan have such luck? I really dare not guarantee it."
After muttering, Chen Yingliang was about to turn back to the camp, but saw a thin little monk standing beside him, bowing to him with a respectful attitude. Chen Yingliang guessed that he must be Chen Ci's younger brother Chen Qi, so he put his hands together and bowed to him, and smiled and said, "You are Chen Qi, right? I heard that you recite scriptures and pray for me. Thank you, the little monk, for coming to visit your brother Chen Ci? He is leading the team training on the school field, and I will call him for you."
The little monk was still a little shy and bowed to Chen Yingliang. Just as he was about to say something to Chen Yingliang, Chen Yingliang, who was not qualified to be equipped with a personal soldier, had already stepped into the school ground to find Chen Temple. The little monk had no choice but to salute Chen Yingliang's back and whisper: "Little monk... Thank you for helping the donor to spread the message. I am merciful. Please bless this donor Chen with prosperity, disasters and long life."
"I really don't want to bless this hypocrite who uses public funds to buy a mobile phone. Even if you speak, you won't be able to speak!" A roar rang out from a hundred and eight thousand miles away.
