The two fell silent for a moment. Zhang Xiaowu smiled, took a sip of wine, handed the bottle over and said, "Come, let's drink together."
Hu Sanwan was flattered and hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare."
"What nonsense are you talking about? If you are told to drink, just drink, acting like an old woman." Zhang Xiaowu scolded with a smile.
Hu Sanwan felt warm in his heart, took the jug and poured a sip of wine into his mouth. He immediately choked on the spicy roasted knife and coughed loudly.
Zhang Xiaowu took out another jug of wine from his arms: "Don't drink in a hurry, I'll give you that jug of wine."
Hu Sanwan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said to himself that I wasn't in a hurry, I just wanted to show off my courage. Unfortunately, when I failed to show off my skills, I was slapped in the face and almost coughed to death.
The two chatted while drinking and became familiar with each other.
Since Hu Sanwan got the wooden dentures made by Zhang Xiaowu himself, he is no longer so ugly, but he is still very vulgar. Zhang Xiaowu didn't know much about him, but now that he has met him, he feels that this person is also very interesting and trustworthy.
This Hu Sanwan has been in the Sixth Regiment for many years and is the best at finding out all kinds of information. He can be called Bai Xiaosheng of the Forbidden Army.
Different from the Twenty-seventh Regiment, which was only formed for two years, the Sixth Regiment has been one of the twenty-four regiments of the Forbidden Army since the founding of the People's Republic of China. The First to Sixth Regiments of the Holy Han Forbidden Army belong to the Qinglong Army and are stationed at the East Camp of Longdu.
; The 7th to 12th regiments belong to the White Tiger Corps and are stationed at the North Camp of Longdu; the 13th to 18th regiments are under the Suzaku Corps and are stationed at the South Camp of Longdu; the 19th to 24th regiments are under the Xuanwu Corps
, garrisoned at Longdu West Camp.
In the twenty-fifth year of Taiqian's reign, after discussion with the Ministry of War and the request of Right Prime Minister Wang Cheng, Emperor Taiqian agreed to build eight new regiments of the Forbidden Army, namely the 25th and 32nd regiments. After that, the eight regiments were reserve regiments for the Forbidden Army and were not used in combat.
At that time, only officials and civilian servants above the rank of corps commander were retained, and each regiment had less than 500 people.
This time the Northern Campaign was untrustworthy, the Qinglong Army, in addition to the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth regiments, also had the 25th, 26th, and 6th regiments.
Twenty-seventh and twenty-eighth regiments, a total of ten regiments with 180,000 soldiers and 60,000 soldiers, with a total strength of 240,000.
Zhang Xiaowu suddenly said: "Is it because the Sixth Regiment is a standing regiment of the Forbidden Army, so it is stationed in Mucheng and holding the rear?" He thought about it and felt wrong, "Standing the rear can also allow temporary combat groups, such as the Twenty-eighth Regiment and the Twenty-eighth Regiment.
The Sixth Regiment is not as good as a standing battle regiment, right?"
Hu Sanwan said: "Maybe we can rescue the front line in time."
Zhang Xiaowu sneered and said: "What nonsense? It takes ten days to walk from Mucheng to Yashan. Even rescue is too late. And one battle group can change the overall situation?"
Hu Sanwan smiled awkwardly, looked around slyly, and then said, "Actually, it's because of General Cheng."
"What happened to General Cheng?"
Hu Sanwan chuckled: "The Holy Han Dynasty's Northern Expedition was unfaithful, and all the generals asked for battle to kill the enemy. Only General Cheng requested to garrison Mucheng and bear the responsibility of escorting the entire army to provide food and grass. On the surface, General Cheng is brave enough to shoulder the heavy burden, but in fact everyone is
I know that General Cheng has never led troops to fight in a war - not that he has never fought before. When he was young, he accompanied his father on an expedition to Beiyi, but he was defeated and almost died."
Zhang Xiaowu squinted his eyes and said, "I'm not familiar with General Cheng." But in his mind, he quickly recalled that when he was fighting against the Three Vajras on the grassland, Cheng Chu on the balcony couldn't bear to look at the Tatar corpse under the stage, and kept looking up at the sky.
The scene made me laugh in my heart, a dignified general could not see blood. The gentry-civilian system of the Holy Han Empire has probably cultivated many idiot generals.
The Sixth Regiment was guarding the rear, and many soldiers and officers who were greedy for life and feared death tried their best to transfer to the Sixth Regiment, so that everyone knew that the Sixth Regiment, from the generals to the soldiers, were all useless. The Sixth Regiment also
It can be called a useless battle group among the Holy Han Forbidden Army.
Cheng Chu was not a dignified person, especially Li Cunyuan, the commander of the Xiaoqi Camp. Once at a banquet, Li Cunyuan got drunk and had a quarrel with Cheng Chu. Li Cunyuan rushed up and tried to beat General Cheng.
, luckily he was stopped. Although Li Cunyuan came to apologize afterwards and Cheng Chu also forgave him, the incident caused the Sixth Regiment to be in disarray.
"Li Cunyuan dares to attack Cheng Chu?" Zhang Xiaowu said in surprise. It is hard to imagine that this situation happened in the 27th Regiment. Who dared to contradict Shi Jing? Even though Ding Yi and Shi Jing had a close personal relationship and often teased each other in private, Ding Yi did not
Dare to openly challenge Shi Jing's prestige. This Li Cunyuan is either arrogant and arrogant, or there is something wrong with his brain. Is it that General Cheng doesn't want to be like a fool?
Seeing Zhang Xiaowu's confused look, Hu Sanwan laughed and said: "In fact, in terms of background, General Cheng's background is much nobler than that of Marquis Li. Li Cunyuan just has an eldest brother, Li Cunyi, who is the best general in the world. But General Cheng is hereditary.
Shao Wubo is a descendant of the Cheng family of Shao Wubo, the thirteenth founding hero of the People's Republic of China.
, the Xuanyuan royal family stipulated that every third generation of emperors must accept daughters of the Cheng family as concubines. The Cheng family has been favored by the emperor and has served in the army for generations. By the time of Cheng Chu's generation, the four sons of the Cheng family followed Shao Wubo and Cheng Mingzhen's troops out of Longmen Pass to attack the Northern Yi, but unfortunately they were killed.
, only the youngest of the four Cheng family sons, Cheng Chu, escaped back."
Zhang Xiaowu boldly guessed: "Could Cheng Minzhen be the commander-in-chief of the Xuanwu Army? The 120,000 Xuanwu Army were wiped out by the Huashu River?"
Hu Sanwanyi slapped him, gave him a fierce expression, and said with a smile: "Yes, that's right. Cheng Minzhen is the commander-in-chief of the Xuanwu Army. General Cheng went to the battlefield for the first time and went on an expedition with his father. That was when he
Nineteen years old, as old as you."
"It's really a tiger father and son, my heroic son is finished!" Zhang Xiaowu said scornfully. This was not the first time he heard people talk about the massacre of the Xuanwu Legion. The rebuilt Xuanwu Legion no longer had the spirit of being the best in the world before, and shrank like a dragon.
After many years in the Duxi camp, his greatest achievement was to follow the orders of the Ministry of War to suppress bandits in all parts of the Central Plains, and he often suffered defeats.
As a result, the original No. 1 Forbidden Army in the world became the Turtle Army that was ridiculed by outsiders. The Xuanwu Army was not ashamed but proud of it. Its extremely cowardly behavior resulted in no general willing to lead the Xuanwu Army as commander-in-chief.
Hu Sanwan continued to tell the story. Due to the Huashu River Massacre, the Cheng family fell into decline. Cheng Chu, the only survivor, only served as a small minister in the Ministry of War. In the sixteenth year of Taiqian, three of Emperor Taiqian's concubines died of illness at the same time.
The harem was suddenly deserted. The Senate suggested that the harem be filled with concubines. Cheng Chu’s cousin
Cheng Lanyan was one of the most beautiful women, and was adopted by Emperor Taiqian as Lancairen. Emperor Taiqian loved Lancairen very much. In January, she was promoted to a beauty, in February, she was promoted to a nobleman, in March, she was promoted to a concubine, in April, she was promoted to Lanyi, and in May, she was promoted to a concubine.
Lan Yu was promoted to Zhaoyi in June, became Concubine Lan in July, and became Concubine Lan in August. The extent of her love is evident.
With the help of Concubine Lan in the palace, Cheng Chu was promoted step by step, and eventually served as a guard with a sword in front of the emperor. Cheng Chu protected Emperor Taiqian day and night, and his loyalty moved the emperor. The day after tomorrow, the Fire Cult assassinated the emperor, and Cheng Chu replaced Taiqian.
The emperor blocked the fatal blow, and from then on he flew up the branches and transformed into a phoenix, transforming himself into the commander of the Imperial Forest Army.
After Concubine Lan died of illness, Emperor Taiqian missed her very much and was seriously ill. When he saw Cheng Chu, he would think of Concubine Lan. In order to avoid being sad day and night, His Majesty appointed Cheng Chu as the commander-in-chief of the Sixth Regiment.
Zhang Xiaowu listened to Hu Sanwan's story about Cheng Chu while drinking. He found it particularly interesting and joked: "It seems that Cheng Chu has never led troops to fight in a war. The only time was more than ten years ago. In the Kanto region, did you almost die there?"
Hu Sanwan concealed a smile and said: "It's not the only time. He has fought before. For example, he wiped out Liu Sanba and his group of remnants of the Sky Fire Sect in South Busan."
Zhang Xiaowu clapped his hands and said sarcastically: "So capable and awesome."
