Fenghou

Huyan Feihu became interested again, "How to compete?"

"Have you ever heard of sand table deduction?"

……

Huyan Feihu displayed his theoretical prowess, and in three consecutive rounds, he defeated Chen Qing without leaving any behind.

The old man is very knowledgeable in martial arts, and all kinds of weird and strange moves emerge one after another. Some of the moves are so ingenious that he can't even draw animations. As for Chen Qing's various moves, he lightly explained them while talking and laughing.

"Come! Come! Come! Let's replay the battle between you and Wanyan Loushi, and see if you can still win if you were replaced by this old man?"

There is no need to go into details about the process, Chen Qing killed Yan Loushi's move, and Mr. Huyan ignored the existence of the earth's gravity and kicked Chen Qing off the horse first.

Four to zero, complete victory!

Of course, allowing Mr. Huyan to defeat the masters with his own true ability is a skill in itself, and the harvest is naturally full. As a kind of support for the younger generation, Mr. Huyan has treasured him for many years. Give it to Chen Qing.

……

Chen Qing left and Hu Yanzhengyan found his father.

"That Fang Tian painted halberd was given to Chen Qing when Gao Qi paid [-] guan to his father and didn't sell it?"

Huyan Masahiko is a businessman, so of course he feels a little distressed about this big loss-making transaction.

Huyan Feihu glared at him, "What do you know? Do you think that only buying land is an investment? I am also an investment, for the long-term investment of the Huyan family, do you understand?"

"Father is so optimistic about Chen Qing?"

"Of course! Why can't I be optimistic about being able to make an exception for the official to be promoted to the leader?"

Huyan Feihu sighed, "This kid has high talent, outstanding talent, kindness, intelligence, and flexibility. It is also a skill to make me so happy. Let Xiao Wulang make good friends with him. The re-emergence of our Huyan family is very important." Probably it should be on him."

Huyan Zhengyan rolled his eyes, "Since father values ​​him so much, why don't you let Yizhangqing try?"

……

On the field of the barracks, the soldiers around continued to applaud loudly, extremely excited.

I saw a Song Dynasty version of the Sanying War Lv Bu being played on the school grounds.

Hu Yantong brandished a gold-backed goose feather saber, Liu Qiong held a spear, and Zheng Ping brandished a spear. The three of them attacked Chen Qing in the middle from three directions.

Chen Qing was trying out the fine steel Fangtian painting halberd he had just obtained, stabbing left and cutting right. Although he had three opponents, he was not embarrassed and swung it freely. He killed three people with just a dozen face-to-face encounters, and could only parry. And no power to fight back.

This Fangtian painted halberd is not exaggerated, with smooth shape and exquisite workmanship. It is made of extremely rare fine steel, and it is extremely sharp. Mr. Hu Yan told him that this is the weapon left by the famous founding general Gao Huaide back then.

Chen Qing was particularly surprised that this Fang Tian painted halberd was a spear halberd, mainly a spear, with narrow crescent halberd blades on both sides for assisting chopping, which was especially suitable for his epee skills.

On the other side of the school grounds, the standing commander Han Shizhong, who also just arrived, was stroking his beard and watching the fierce battle on the school grounds.

Although Han Shizhong appreciated Chen Qingqiang's selection of Wanyan Loushi earlier, he more or less thought it was because of Wanyan Loushi's serious illness.

But today Chen Qing fought against the three generals, but Han Shizhong saw that Chen Qing hadn't used his full strength, leaving a lot of room for him, at least he didn't use his superior strength.

The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and I am afraid that he is no match for this young man. Han Shizhong couldn't help sighing in his heart when he thought of another young fierce general, Yue Fei.

Chapter 76 Logistics

Chen Qing asked Han Shizhong to sit down in the big tent, and Han Shizhong said to Chen Qing: "Zizhou guards Li Zhong and Sang Zhong rebelled and looted the money, grain and supplies destined for Hanzhong. The situation is critical. Zhang Xuanfu rushed back to Bashu last night. He left you a letter."

After finishing speaking, Han Shizhong took out Zhang Jun's letter and handed it to Chen Qing.

Chen Qing opened the letter and read it. Zhang Jun just told him to prepare for the military training competition with all his strength. If he had any difficulties, he could ask Han Shizhong for help. Zhang Jun also left him [-] guan as supplementary military expenses.

Zhang Jun mentioned at the end of the letter that if Chen Qing didn't want to send them back to the Xiang army, he could hand them over to Han Shizhong.

In fact, this was also Chen Qing's idea. He wanted to hand over this army to Hu Yantong, and of course it was okay to hand it over to Han Shizhong.

"Han Dutong told me about this military training competition. I don't know yet. What is the competition?"

Han Shizhong smiled slightly and said: "This military training competition is actually a competition for new recruits and new generals. It was proposed by the emperor at the beginning of the year. The purpose is to select the guards and young generals. At present, except for the Western Army and the Lingnan Army, all other armies must send People came to participate, but Zhang Xuanfu asked the Privy Council a few days ago that you should represent the Western Army in the competition, and the Privy Council agreed, and then the army under your hand will also represent the Western Army. The Xuanfu envoy should give you this matter I said it!"

"He told the humble official."

"There were originally 35 teams participating in this martial arts competition, and later 20 troops from your martial arts training were added. In the end, [-] teams participated. The time is set to be held in the newly completed martial arts school in Lin'an in [-] days. , I don’t know what rewards will be given at the moment, but this contest represents the glory of each army, everyone will go all out, I hope you will pay attention to it, after all, you represent the Western Army.”

Chen Qing nodded, and asked again: "Can General Hu Yantong continue to be with us?"

"This is what I want to tell you. This time I will also send 500 people to the competition. The main general is Gao Cheng. The original deputy was Hu Yantong, but Zhang Xuanfu agreed to hand over your army to me as compensation. Hu Yantong will continue to be your lieutenant!"

"Han Dutong intends to hand over this army to Hu Yantong?"

Han Shizhong smiled and nodded, "Do you really mean that?"

"Will Yue Fei come this time?"

"Of course he will come. He is now in command of the Shenwu You Deputy Army. I heard that he will send generals Zhang Xian and Wang Gui to lead [-] recruits to the competition. Not only Yue Fei, but also Zhang Jun, Liu Guangshi, etc. They will send their confidantes to participate in the competition, this is an opportunity for newcomers to make their debut.

As for what you just asked, the game?To be honest, I don’t know, but it’s nothing more than the usual training. I’ve seen your usual training. The army is very good, but not enough. It’s still a bit short of fire. We need to strengthen training, especially actual combat confrontation. It will be the top priority of the contest. "

……

Han Shizhong bid farewell and left. Chen Qing led the generals and sent him out of the camp. ' shouted loudly and jumped up with joy.

Chen Qing understood his thoughts, smiled and gave him a punch, "Don't think too much now, with me here, you can be my lieutenant honestly, after you finish your martial arts, this army will be ready It's your turn to lead!"

Hu Yantong scratched his head, and said embarrassedly: "Since we are going to participate in the military training competition, should we sum it up carefully, how should we train next?"

Chen Qing nodded, "Call all the generals above the head of the capital to the meeting hall for discussion!"

Not long after, more than a dozen capitals and generals gathered together, and Chen Qing said to everyone: "I told you before that we will participate in the recruit training competition, but I still think about it simply. This is actually a check of the recruits by the emperor, and it is also a contest between the various armies. All the armies are doing their best, but we are a little careless.

Tell the brothers here that this is also a contest that will change their fate. I believe that no one wants to return to the Xiang Army to receive meager treatment. If you want to get a high salary, you must show a high level. From now on, we will go all out train. "

After a pause, Chen Qing said slowly again: "Considering our weak link, I decided to divide the [-] brothers into four battalions. One is the bow and arrow battalion, which is dedicated to practicing bow and arrow. Liu Qiong will be the commander. The battalion specializes in weapon fighting, with Hu Yantong and Zheng Ping as the commanders, and the other is the intelligence logistics battalion, which is responsible for inquiring about the opponent's intelligence and logistical support. Zhao Xiaoyi is in charge. From now on, all the soldiers will mobilize for me Basic training of running and squatting, and then special training!"

……

The school field was steaming, and the morale of the soldiers was high. Some were practicing bows and arrows, some were practicing marksmanship, and some were practicing sword and shield.

At this time, Zhao Xiaoyi came over with a sad face. He was a general of the scout battalion, and he had fifty elite scouts under him. It would be no problem to investigate the enemy's situation, but Chen Qing asked him to take care of the logistics, but he didn't know what to do.

"The general asked me to take care of logistics. I have never done it before. I don't know where to start?"

Zhao Xiaoyi is the soldier who has followed Chen Qing for the longest time. He has been by Chen Qing's side since the very beginning, and he is also one of Chen Qing's most trusted confidantes. His greatest advantage, so Chen Qing asked him to develop into a scout based on his characteristics, and now he planned to let him take care of the logistics.

Chen Qing said with a smile: "It is not difficult to say that it is difficult to do logistics. It is to let the soldiers eat well, rest well, train well, have good medical care, and manage money, food and materials well. If you do these five things in place, you are a qualified logistics provider." general.

but!It is also difficult to say that the logistics are good, such as training well, all kinds of armor and materials must be guaranteed, soldiers must practice archery, you must arrange targets, soldiers must practice night battles, you must prepare sufficient torches, etc. , and have a good rest. After a day of hard training, do you need to boil hot water for the soldiers to soak their feet, or even find someone to wash the soldiers' clothes, etc. These things are all logistics. "

Zhao Xiaoyi squatted on the ground in pain, "I don't even know where to start?"

Chen Qing comforted him and said, "You don't need to do these things alone. We have 780 soldiers, 500 of whom are regular troops, 50 are spies, and the remaining 230 are logistics soldiers. Ten people can read and write. I will promote them to the rank of military officers. They are your assistants. What do you want everyone to do?

There is also money, which is the key. The Xuanfu envoy left [-] yuan for us to supplement military expenses. The money is used to buy various ingredients, hire people to wash clothes, and hire a doctor to serve as a temporary military doctor. Qian, you can do everything easily, understand? "

Zhao Xiaoyi said with a bitter face: "General, if you can write down what you said, I will know what to do."

"Okay! I'll write to you later. Now you take a dozen or so brothers to drive a cart to the Baofeng Money Shop in the city to get three thousand guan. Two thousand coins for you."

Watching Zhao Xiaoyi leave with a heavy heart, Chen Qing also knew that Zhao Xiaoyi was just a young soldier who had just joined the army, only 19 years old, and now he was suddenly asked to be a logistics general, he must not be able to adapt, but everything has a process, this time it happened to be Chances to exercise him.

……

There are dozens of temporary large tents in the barracks, including Chen Qing's chief general's tent. Compared with the barracks, he prefers to live in tents, which are spacious and spacious, and he doesn't feel uncomfortable living in them.

Since yesterday, he has been officially promoted to be a commander, but he does not feel like he is a commander at all. It seems that nothing has changed. Maybe his salary will be higher. His previous salary was twelve per month, but now it is estimated that it can be raised to About twenty.

Of course, the military badge has also changed, from Zhongweilang to Zhengshilang, although it is still from the seventh rank, it is already the highest level from the seventh rank.

In the big tent, Chen Qing sat cross-legged on the soft cushion, and was carefully wiping his Fangtian painting halberd. It was about one foot and eight inches long, and the whole body glowed with a faint blue light. It is simply a work of art. The iron halberd he used in Muzhou before and this Fangtian painted halberd are a thousand miles away.

This is the first time Chen Qing has seen aesthetics from a long weapon, and he doesn't know which famous artist made it, and it finally became his favorite thing.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside, mixed with soldiers' roars faintly, Chen Qing was startled, raised his halberd and walked outside.

As soon as we reached the gate of the big tent, a soldier rushed over and knelt down on one knee to report, "General Qi, an army came from outside the camp and wanted to enter our barracks by force, but was stopped by General Zheng. Very powerful."

Chen Qing was surprised, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, will the occupation of the barracks also happen?

He untied the reins, got on his horse, and urged the horse to run towards the gate of the camp.

Chapter 77 Battle Camp

The lights in front of the gate of the barracks were brightly lit, as if it were daytime. The chief officer on duty, Zheng Ping, held a sword in his hand and led a dozen soldiers to block the gate angrily.

Just listen to Zheng Ping yelling, "Grandma, you are a bear, you are here legally, are we illegal? Who told you to come here, who do you go to, how can we give you the barracks?"

The soldiers on the opposite side were holding torches, and there were at least 2000 or [-] people in the scale. Maybe it was troublesome. Both sides were very angry. Someone shouted: "We have Fan Xianggong's approval and the Ministry of War seal. We should come to this camp." Stationed, quickly get out of the way, or we will be impolite!"

"What's going on?" Chen Qing arrived with a few soldiers.

Zheng Ping quickly stepped forward and said, "An army came from somewhere, saying that our barracks and military department had been approved for them, and they actually asked us to move out, it's just ridiculous!"

Just now when Chen Qing heard the other party call Fan Xianggong, Fan Xianggong could only be Fan Zongyin, Chen Qing immediately became vigilant.

He stepped forward and asked, "My lord, Chen Qing, is the commander of this barracks. May I ask where your army is from?"

Among the crowd, a general had been watching with cold eyes. When he saw the other general appearing, he was also a commander. He didn't dare to act recklessly, so he immediately stepped forward and said, "This general is the commander under Liu Du's account. I'm under Cao De. , we just arrived in Lin'an, and we are going to participate in the recruit training competition. Fan Xianggong approved us to use this barracks, and we also have the barracks of the Ministry of War to use documents, but I don't know what went wrong, why your army is in this barracks ?”

It turned out to be Liu Guangshi's army. Chen Qing said calmly: "We are the Western Army. We used this barracks a month ago. We have been approved by the Privy Council and have completed the procedures. The deadline for the approval of the Privy Council is End of next month."

Cao De frowned, "What's the matter? The Ministry of War also approved us to use this barracks, and we also got the approval from Mr. Fan. Could it be that the court documents are wrong?"

Where is there any error in the court data? It is clear that Fan Zongyin deliberately put on small shoes for himself, and the officials of the Ministry of War also helped him. It is estimated that Zhang Kui's credit went to the Privy Council, which caused the officials of the Ministry of War to be dissatisfied with him.

"General Cao, with all due respect, the arrangement of barracks and supplies is the function of the Privy Council, and has nothing to do with the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War has no power to approve which barracks you use. This is their ultra vires."

"Who says the Ministry of War is overstepping its authority?"

A large number of officials suddenly appeared in the raging fire, and the head of the tall and fat official was Fan Zongyin, the third photographer. He was indeed putting on shoes for Chen Qing, but he didn't want the two armies to have a conflict, which would have too much impact and be detrimental to him. , so he arrived in time, just to use his power to suppress Chen Qing.

Chen Qing cupped his fists on the horse and saluted, "See Mr. Fan!"

"Hmph! I'm here to tell you that this recruit contest is jointly organized by the Ministry of War and the Privy Council. The Ministry of War where each participating team is stationed has the right to arrange. Now that the Ministry of War arranges Liu Dutong's troops to station in this barracks, then Based on the decision of the Ministry of War, please move out immediately!"

Chen Qing was furious in his heart, he wished he could kill this bastard with a single halberd, Chen Qing restrained the anger in his heart, and said coldly: "Since the Privy Council is also the organizer of the competition, they also have the right to arrange the resident, besides, this is the function of the Privy Council , The Privy Council has officially approved our stationing here five days ago, the Ministry of War should not approve it again, this is their mistake, they should be responsible, how can we let us take responsibility?"

Fan Zongyin laughed wickedly, "You are a small commander, it is not your turn to discuss the state affairs, let alone make decisions for the court, now the Prime Minister orders you to move out immediately as Prime Minister."

"What if I don't move?"

"Hehe! Chen Qing, do you want to commit the following crime?"

Chen Qing ordered left and right: "Close the gate of the camp!"

The surrounding soldiers quickly closed the gate of the camp, and Fan Zongyin was furious, "Chen Qing, I want to impeach you for committing crimes against you, and you don't listen to Xiangguo's orders!"

At this time, Chen Qing walked up to the watchtower, and he aimed at Fan Zongyin with his bow and arrow.

"This is the Dingyuan bow given to me by the emperor on behalf of the Supreme Emperor. It is designed to kill treacherous and traitorous ministers. If you dare to make trouble at the gate of the barracks again, I will regard you as an attempt to rebel and kill him with the bow of the Supreme Emperor!"

"You...you bastard!"

Fan Zongyin's face was flushed with anger, but he never expected that Chen Qing would have the Supreme Emperor's weapon in his hands. Although the Dingyuan Bow did not have the same power as Shangfang's sword, it was a royal bow after all!Under certain conditions, it has a certain deterrent effect. For example, if the other party suspects that you are rebelling, if you forcibly break into the barracks, you will just give the other party an excuse.

At this moment, Fan Zongyin was a little at a loss.

At this time, Cao De stepped forward to smooth things over and said: "Fan Xianggong, in the past, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty was not allowed to enter the Xiliu barracks. This is a military regulation. Besides, there is no order from the Privy Council. General Chen's army cannot leave the camp without permission. Thank you, Fan Xianggong." I'm concerned, let's find a way to deal with it myself!"

Cao De is also a son of an official. He has already seen that Fan Zongyin and Chen Qing have conflicts. Fan Zongyin deliberately used his garrison to wear small shoes for Chen Qing, and he didn't really help him. He doesn't want to be someone else's pawn, let alone get involved in the opponent in the contradiction.

Fan Zongyin was angry and annoyed, and also afraid that Chen Qing, a warrior, thought that he could do whatever he wanted with the Supreme Emperor's bow. If he really shot himself with one arrow, the gain would outweigh the loss.

He took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey and said, "Okay! Since General Cao doesn't need the help of Zhenxiang, then the truth is not too much trouble."

Fan Zongyin gave Chen Qing a vicious look, "Then we'll wait and see, I don't believe that the root cause can't cure you!"

He waved, "Let's go!"

Fan Zongyin left with a large group of officials, Chen Qing heaved a sigh of relief, put away his bow and arrow and said to Cao De: "I believe General Cao also understands that this Fan Xianggong has a gap with my boss Zhang Gong. He can't help Zhang Gong, so he vented his hatred on me. On the head, he is using you!"

"Is it Zhang Gong, the Xuanfu envoy of Sichuan and Shaanxi?"

"Exactly!"

Cao De suddenly realized that it was the struggle between Fan Zongyin and Zhang Jun. He clasped his fists and said, "I understand. I will report to the Privy Council tomorrow and ask them to arrange a residence!"

"Brother Cao, is that you?" Hu Yantong walked up quickly.

Cao De was taken aback, "Huyan, why are you here? Have you been transferred to the Western Army?"

"No, it was Han Dutong who seconded me here."
