The two of them left Jinling City, chose a direction, and hurried all the way to the northwest. After traveling for less than two hours, he had already left Jiangsu and arrived in Anhui.
Lin Wanrong was not familiar with the terrain, so when he saw Gao Chief walking in silence, he urged his horse to run parallel to him, and said loudly, "Brother Gao, where are we going?"
Gao Chief slowed down the speed of the horse and said with a smile: "I'm traveling in a hurry, but I forgot to explain to you, little brother. We are heading towards Chuzhou, and there are several people waiting for us there."
"Chuzhou?" Lin Wanrong knew this place, hundreds of miles away from Jinling City, connected to Fengyang Tianchang and other places, is the eastern gateway of Anhui, across the river from Jiangsu, the geographical location is very important.
"What are we going to Chuzhou for? Is Mr. Xu there too?" Lin Wanrong frowned.
Gao Chief said: "Master Xu is not in Chuzhou. He said that the military situation is urgent. He has already rushed to Peixian County in Xuzhou. He only asked me to take Brother Lin to Chuzhou to join the soldiers and horses there, and then go all the way to Xuzhou via Suzhou."
Lin Wanrong was Xu Wei's general staff. He was supposed to follow Xu Wei, but the old man ran away alone. It seems that there is indeed an emergency situation on the front line. However, with Lin Wanrong's current psychology and physiology, he is not ready to go directly to the front line. It is better to get acquainted with the atmosphere after joining the army in Chuzhou first.
Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "That's fine, Brother Gao, how many troops are stationed in Chuzhou? How did Lord Xu arrange it?"
Gao Zun shook his head and said: "I'm not too sure about this, I only heard that there are officers and soldiers from Zhejiang, Shandong, and sergeants from Shenji Battalion. I'm just in charge of your lord's safety, and it's lord Xu who arranges the troops. Things that need to be considered, I don’t think I can manage.”
Lin Wanrong knew that the Zhejiang Buqi Two Battalion passed through Anhui to Shandong in order to cover up the public's eyes and ears. I heard that there are three groups of people there, there should be a lot of soldiers there, and it seems relatively safe.
"Since that's the case, let's hurry up and join the army." Lin Wanrong said impatiently. He had never seen tens of thousands of soldiers practicing together. It should be very lively.
Gao Chief smiled and said, "It's not busy, we can just arrive today. Mr. Xu still has a few words, let me pass them on to Brother Lin."
"Old Xu, oh, what did Master Xu say?" Lin Wanrong asked strangely.
"Your Excellency said, brother Lin, please familiarize yourself with military affairs as soon as possible, and fulfill the role of general staff as soon as possible."
This is of course coming soon. I'm more anxious than you old man Xu, and there are several wives waiting to comfort me.
"Your Excellency also said—" Gao Chief said unhurriedly: "The soldiers in Chuzhou are specially reserved for you, Brother Lin, and I ask you to tidy them up and lead them to the front line."
"Rectify the army?" Lin Wanrong felt strange. I am a small staff general, and I have no right or position. Calling me a general is flattering me. At most, I can give you Xu Wei bad ideas. How can I organize the army
He looked at Gao Chief suspiciously: "Brother Gao, you heard me right, I have neither official position nor military experience, why would Mr. Xu let me go to the army?"
Gao Chief shook his head and said with a smile: "I heard it clearly and clearly, how could I be mistaken, my lord just ordered you to go to Chuzhou to organize the army."
There are tens of thousands of troops stationed in Chuzhou, but I am asked to go to the army to prepare for war. Isn't this sincerely embarrassing me? He is relieved and I am not at ease. Seeing his hesitation, Gao Chief smiled and said, "Brother Lin, don't worry, I believe that Mr. Xu's vision will never make a mistake. You must have the ability."
Even the high chief said so, shit, don't I believe in myself, isn't it just tens of thousands of people, have I never gnawed on a pig's trotter or seen a pig run? I just went to have a good time and have a good time. After all, Xu Wei entrusted me with the maintenance of tens of thousands of buses. This old man is really relieved of me.
He laughed and said, "Okay, then I'll give it a try. In fact, in my humble opinion, although the whole army is difficult, it's still passable. Brother Gao, do you know what the most difficult thing in the world is?"
Gao Chief shook his head and asked curiously, "What is it?"
Lin Wanrong smiled mysteriously: "Brother Gao, if you marry more than a dozen wives, you will know what the most difficult thing is."
Gao Chief was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, he raised his thumb and said, "Brother Lin is really a good idea." The two looked at each other, and let out a burst of laughter that only a man can understand.
This way to Chuzhou, the road is long or short, and there is nothing to worry about with the guards of the high chiefs. Lin Wanrong was thinking all the way, when he arrived in Chuzhou to organize the army, what kind of official style should he be, and what kind of majestic means should be used, so as to shock those soldiers and ruffians. Thinking about it, I became excited, and it must feel very comfortable to play awe-inspiring in front of tens of thousands of people.
It was already sunset when we arrived in Chuzhou, and the ancient city of Chuzhou was bathed in the setting sun, peaceful and calm, and there was no sign of a large army stationed there.
In Lin Wanrong's imagination, the place where tens of thousands of troops are stationed must at least have bright swords and guns, a battalion of beacon fires, horses neighing, and shouts of killing. The scene is connected with tens of thousands of troops.
"Brother Gao, didn't we go the wrong way?" Lin Wanrong asked doubtfully.
"Where can I go wrong, I have traveled this way at least four or five times." Gao Zun pointed to the two words on the gate and said with a smile: "Look, isn't that Chuzhou?"
Lin Wanrong looked around and saw that there were indeed two bright red characters written on the city gate—Chuzhou, and there was a line of small characters below—Ouyang Yongshu Zhiming.
"What does Uncle Ouyang Yong do?" Lin Wanrong asked strangely.
"This man, I heard Mr. Xu mention it last time. He seems to be from the previous dynasty. He was called Ouyang Xiu. He was the magistrate of Chuzhou here. I heard that this guy likes to drink. There are monks in Langya Mountain who specially built it to please him. There is also a Fengle Pavilion at the foot of Fengshan Mountain in the west of Chuzhou City, I heard that he also built it." Gao Chief shook his head and said, it was rare to show off his knowledge in front of Mr. Lin, so he was naturally a little proud.
Lin Wanrong nodded, saying that I don't know Uncle Ouyang Yong, and that I understand Ouyang Xiu. These scholars like to fool people with their name.
"Brother Gao, you said that there is a large army stationed in this city. I looked at it, and it didn't look like it." Lin Wanrong and Gao Chief led their horses into the city and said, looking around. This prosperous city of Chuzhou has a long history, and its geographical location is very important. Although it is not as prosperous as Jinling, it is also very prosperous with towering shops, restaurants, brothels and Chu halls.
"Well, there should be soldiers and horses stationed there!" Seeing that there were few soldiers in armor on the street, Gao Chief was also a little uncertain: "Master Xu clearly said that he was asking you to go to Chuzhou to recuperate the soldiers, why can't you see the soldiers?" Where's the shadow of the horse?"
The two asked several passing people, but they never heard of any large army stationed there. What the hell, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses can rain when they spit, and fart like thunder. Could it be that they just evaporate? Or that kid Xu Wei was playing tricks on me.
"Brother Gao, didn't Master Xu tell you who to look for here? It's not a solution for blind people like us to wander around." Lin Wanrong said.
"Master Xu said that when you arrive in Chuzhou, you can see it if you observe more." Gao Chief wiped off his cold sweat and said. He has blind trust in Xu Wei, and he will do what Master Xu says.
observe? What a fart to observe, this is the bustling area of Chuzhou City, and I can't see a single officer or soldier when I look around. Could it be that these officers and soldiers hid in kilns and died? This old man Xu, what kind of riddle is he playing
"Get out of the way, get out of the way—" The two of them were looking at each other, when they suddenly heard a few rough shouts, two war horses came running from a distance, galloping like arrows, without stopping for a moment, the pedestrians on the street immediately looked like He avoided it as if he had seen a ghost.
Gao Chief was overjoyed, pulled Lin Wanrong's sleeve and said, "Brother Lin, look, aren't these officers and soldiers?"
Lin Wanrong looked around and saw that the galloping horses were indeed soldiers wearing Dahua military uniforms. Judging by their arrogant appearance, they should be the soldiers commanded by Xu Wei, but I don't know which province they are from. of.
"They left in such a hurry, could it be that there is some urgent military situation?" Gao Chief said strangely.
"Really?" Lin Wanrong said with a smile: "I saw that they were going to the Lixiang Courtyard over there. Could it be that they were going to deliver letters to the sisters in the courtyard?"
While talking, the war horses stopped in front of the gate of Lixiang Courtyard, and an old bustard with thick powder on his face came up to him, opened his mouth and smiled and said, "General Zhao, General Fu, alas, why are you so stupid?" Come on, Xiaoyu and the others have been waiting for a long time."
The leading-looking officer with a dark complexion who walked in front touched the old bustard with a smile and said, "Really, that bitch Xiaoyu didn't taste enough of me last night? She died so early. Or, Nanny, you can come with her tonight, this general promises that you will be as happy as immortals."
Several soldiers behind the officer laughed together, and the bustard twitched a few times before welcoming the group of people in.
Damn, it really hit the spot, I really came here to report to my sisters, but these guys are brave enough to come here in military uniforms. Lin Wanrong smiled bitterly and said to Gao Chief: "Brother Gao, is this one of the tens of thousands of troops we are looking for?"
Gao Chief said embarrassingly: "It should be. Brother Lin, what do you think?"
Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "It's a wonderful thing to visit a brothel, and men like it! Or, Brother Gao, I'll be the host, so let's go shopping too."
