Chapter 215 Meeting Chang Deyuan for the first time
Chapter 215 Meeting Chang Deyuan for the first time
Although the war has subsided after several years, almost all enemies on the front line have been wiped out.
However, the army never found out why the enemy counterattacked, which ultimately led to Dayu's army seizing the opportunity to turn defeat into victory.
There was analysis afterwards, and some people said that it might be due to the arrival of winter snow and the enemy's lack of supplies that they fought hard.
Some people said that the defeat may be due to the fact that the enemy suffered huge population losses due to successive years of war, so he did not want to fight again.
But no matter what the reason is, annihilating all the enemies on the front line does not mean that there is no reserve force. Who can guarantee that they will not come back again after the spring begins?
Therefore, the imperial court has already ordered that after receiving rewards based on merit, generals at all levels still need to return to the border to garrison. After spring, they will send out scouts to find out the actual strength of the enemy's troops, and then redeploy the troops.
When Li Feng heard Chen Ping ask, he sighed and replied.
"Now the war has just calmed down. But we still have to be careful to prevent the enemy from counterattack, so I have to go back and keep an eye on it."
"Then Senior Brother is returning to Beijing this time..." Chen Ping was a little confused.
"Hand over, the original General of the Cavalry was injured on the hand, but returned with merit. Now he has been promoted to General of Zhongwu, and will serve in the capital with a salary in the future. I temporarily took his place. The war was originally in chaos, and the court only ordered
Oral instruction, this time I am here to receive the seal, and then I will rush back to the border to continue garrisoning."
There are not many guards inside and outside the post house, but they are all tall and powerful, which is enough to give a glimpse of the quality of the border troops.
"When will senior brother return to the border?" Chen Ping asked.
"I guess ten days at most," Li Feng felt a little regretful, "I originally thought I could see Qingxuan and Chongwen, but alas."
"There is always a chance to see you. We are relieved to see you in good health today." Chen Ping comforted.
Li Feng fought on the battlefield and was used to seeing life and death, so his grief about separation was not as heavy as before.
"They are capable and will definitely pass next time. Unlike me, I failed the exam several times before." After saying that, he waved his hand and skipped the topic, "You came just in time, I also have something to ask you.
."
"What's the matter? Senior brother, just tell me." Chen Ping said seriously, thinking that Li Feng had something to explain to him.
Li Feng thought about it for a moment, and just when he was about to speak, he heard several heavy footsteps at the door of the inn.
A middle-aged general with an old face and a murderous aura walked straight towards them.
This man exuded strong murderous intent, and at first glance he looked like a warrior who had stepped out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Chen Ping was shocked and had the illusion that he was being targeted by a tiger.
Luo Li was still standing beside Chen Ping casually as usual, as if he was already used to this kind of person.
"Who is this?"
The middle-aged general who stepped forward asked Li Feng.
Li Feng was not surprised but overjoyed, and quickly raised his hands and said: "General! This is my junior brother! Chen Ping, the youngest Jie Yuan in Dayu, is the one who has made alcohol for us these years!"
"So it's you!"
In an instant, many pairs of sharp eyes in the station looked towards Chen Ping.
Li Feng pushed the confused Chen Ping forward and introduced him enthusiastically.
"Chen Ping, this is General Chang Deyuan, who has been kind to me."
Li Feng admired this man very much, and was afraid that Chen Ping wouldn't understand, so he added: "Do you know the last battle in which our Dayu Army defeated the barbarians? That was when General Chang personally took command of the battle and attacked with six thousand cavalry and fast horses.
After fighting with Langya for three days and three nights, General Langya was finally defeated and successfully turned the tide of the battle! He is the leading general of our Dayu Dynasty!"
After Chang Deyuan was awarded the award, he stayed in the capital to serve in the capital according to the emperor's decree. This man had great military exploits on the border, and he was extraordinary regardless of his status or the aspirations of the people.
Chen Ping was naturally very respectful to the patron saint of Dayu Chao's frontier today. He looked at each other and bowed their hands together.
"Ignorant boy, I have seen General Chang."
"Hey," Chang Deyuan pointed at Li Feng angrily and said, "This is not a military tent. What are you talking about? Don't scare them."
Chen Ping touched his nose and said nothing, but Luo Li was a little confused and unexpectedly asked: "What is alcohol?"
Normally Luo Li cares about these things, but today it seemed a little abnormal.
Before Chen Ping could explain, Chang Deyuan looked delighted and said loudly to everyone present: "Alcohol is a life-saving medicine! In the past few years of fighting, if it weren't for the help of your alcohol, I might not have been able to persist."
To this day! Chen Ping, you are the hero of our Dayu Army! If it hadn’t been for Li Feng’s repeated warnings, I would have had to say a few words to you before entering the palace this time.”
The great reputation of the Dynasty was divided into civil and military affairs. What they feared was collusion among officials. There was always grudge between the civil and military affairs, and of course they also wanted to avoid suspicion.
If alcohol was not really useful for the army, Chang Deyuan would always stay away from civil servants and scholars, and his attitude would not be so enthusiastic.
Li Feng thought that Chen Ping was young and had not yet officially entered the official position, so he was afraid that his big tree would attract criticism, so he did not let Chang Deyuan mention the matter.
Of course Chen Ping understood Li Feng's painstaking efforts, but he did not dare to accept such praise, so he quickly said: "General Chang, you are too polite. I am just doing my best to pacify the border. After all, it depends on the generals and the brave men in the army to pacify the border."
From life to death."
Chang Deyuan had a very good impression of Chen Ping. Seeing his sincere and firm expression, and his solemn demeanor that he was definitely not lying, he couldn't help but sigh. "Good boy, all the scholars in my great reputation must have your thoughts, and
Why worry about the world being unstable and the people not being well-intentioned!"
Li Feng was very happy to see Chen Ping recognized by Shangguan, and called his colleagues at the post station to take their seats.
"Come here, bring some more hard dishes. Also, bring me the fairy dew!"
"That's right, Immortal Dew, it's a good wine!" Chang Deyuan is also a good drinker. He has been fighting on the battlefield all year round, and a sip of wine will give him energy. "This is also a good thing from Qianzhou. Xiao Xie Yuan knows how to drink wine. What?"
Chen Ping sat down with a smile and replied: "I can only drink a few drinks. Because of the test, I dare not drink heavily recently."

Chang Deyuan saw that his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and he felt more and more approved of it.
If Chen Ping, intimidated by his power, came to agree with him and undermine the character of the scholar, they soldiers would look down upon him.
"A few glasses of wine are just wine," Chang Deyuan looked at him, "Although I have known for a long time that you are only seventeen or eighteen years old. Only after meeting today did I know what a young hero is."
Eighteen-year-old Jieyuan was one of the few figures in the previous dynasties, not to mention today's great reputation.
Moreover, Chen Ping has an elegant demeanor and is calm in the face of danger at a young age, so his future is bound to be limitless.
Thinking of this, Chang Deyuan's eyes became more intense.
"General, I'm overly praised. I just know some poetry and composition, which is much easier than killing enemies on the battlefield." Chen Ping was modest and did not dare to compete for power.
Unexpectedly, Chang Deyuan laughed loudly and said: "You are only polite when you say this. I also come from a noble family. I didn't know anything about reading and writing at first, and I especially loved military strategy, so I joined the army."
Having said this, he looked at Li Feng with emotion in his eyes.
"Senior brother, aren't you the one who failed twice?"
Chen Ping was stunned. This general spoke so directly.
Li Feng didn't care, and waved his hands in shame, saying: "I'm not a student. It's my little junior brother who is the real genius."
While talking, the drinks and dishes were served one after another. Chang Deyuan picked up the wine glass and looked at Chen Ping and said very seriously.
"Two years ago, I was cut on my arm on the battlefield. If it hadn't been for the help of your alcohol, I wouldn't have achieved what I have achieved today. Chen Jieyuan, I salute you for this glass of wine."
Chen Ping quickly stood up, bowed and raised his glass in return.
"If the general hadn't been on the front line through life and death to protect my reputation, how would I have the opportunity to study and practice calligraphy? So it's me who respects you."
"Hahaha, after all, it is the scholars who can speak," Chang Deyuan felt very comfortable when he heard that, "but this glass of wine is respected by me on behalf of the border boys. You deserve it! Come on, do it!"
After speaking, he raised his hand and drank the whole drink.
Chen Ping no longer refused, raised his head and drank from the cup.
It’s already 500,000 words. I didn’t expect that I would reach this point. Let’s continue working hard.
