Chapter 147 Do They Really Understand Me
On the school field, Chen Liang was sweating profusely.
A stone roller weighing hundreds of kilograms was like a big stone toy in his hand, moving up and down and flying left and right.
Shoulders, back, abdomen, legs, feet, no matter where the roller lands, it is like a well-behaved kitten. It can be put into any position you want.
Sweat dripped from the dark skin, and the angular muscles shone in the sun.
Chen Liang is now the general in command of the Andong Protectorate's troops stationed in Yuntaihuang, with the rank of deputy general.
After General Wei Wan Feng and his entire family were killed by Linghu Ye, Chen Liang became a loner among the border troops. People who usually had good friendships with him also kept a distance from him.
Although if you really want to talk about it, it was not his fault that Wan Feng was executed.
Even after it was exposed that Wan Feng's son killed good people and took money, Chen Liang never betrayed his benefactor Wan Feng during the interrogation in the lobby.
It wasn’t until Wan Feng’s son foolishly tried to kill Chen Liang to silence him that Chen Liang lost all hope.
But even so, Chen Liang also bears the name of betraying his boss and benefactor.
After being acquitted by Linghuye, his former enemies immediately came to visit him. Without his military position and friends, Chen Liang, who was left with only martial arts training, fought against his enemies several times in a row. , more than ten family members died.
When he was desperate, Linghu Zhishu offered him an olive branch, and he jumped on the big ship of Linghuye.
He just became more taciturn from then on.
Perhaps when people are depressed, hopeless and helpless, other good things will happen. Chen Liang's martial arts cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds during this period, and he has reached the eighth level of Xuanyuan, just shy of it. You can step into the ninth level of Xuanyuan.
If he can really break through this threshold, coupled with his military capabilities, there is no doubt that the Qin army outside the Pass will have one more powerful general.
And after he was stationed in Yuntaihuang, he also devoted more energy to martial arts cultivation.
The generals on the left and right will not mobilize troops against the Yuan Kingdom. There are some thieves or the barbarians who have infiltrated, so there is no need for Chen Liang to personally exterminate them.
Martial arts cultivation is your foundation.
After experiencing this incident, Chen Liang understood that it is better to rely on himself than anyone else.
Among the troops outside the pass, only a few Liao Liao were able to break through to the ninth rank. Marshal Linghu and Chang Jian were both at the top of the ninth rank, and the other was the cavalry general Xiao Changche.
Just by looking at how arrogant and domineering the ninth-grade Xiao Changche is in front of Commander Linghu, one can see how noble the ninth-grade Xuanyuan is.
A guard hurried in and stood on the edge of the school field, following his own soldier who kept talking. Chen Liang let out a hey, threw up the stone grinder, and waited for it. When he was about to hit the ground, he pressed up with his big hand and pushed down with a loud roar. There was a bang, dust flew everywhere, and half of the stone roller was pushed into the ground by Chen Liang.
"What's the matter?" Chen Liang asked.
The soldiers trotted over, wiping Chen Liang’s sweat with a handkerchief, and whispered: “Scholar Zhang is here and wants to see you!”
Chen Liang was startled.
When Zhang Ruochu came to the customs, he was just a prisoner. However, he was a capable and well-backed person. In the blink of an eye, he changed from a prisoner to the deputy capital censor of the imperial court, responsible for monitoring the customs. There are two guardianships in Anton and Anxi.
If the current Chang'an court was still the center of the Qin Dynasty decades ago, then this position would be almost like a sharp sword hanging over the head of the Protectorate, and everyone would want to please him.
Of course, this time and the other time, the current supervisory censor is of no use to the two guardianships outside the pass.
However, his status is still there, and he cannot go too far.
Moreover, this person has an extraordinary relationship with Xiao Changche, and has some unclear relationship with Li Dachui, a horse bandit outside the customs. He is a thoughtful and skillful person, and there is no need to offend him.
Moreover, Chen Liang himself didn’t know what his thoughts were, but he still admired such a person.
A scholar who dared to challenge Commander Linghu, dared to go thousands of miles outside the border without fear of life and death, and was able to make a desperate comeback and stage a comeback, is indeed admirable.
Thinking about his own experience again, Chen Liang couldn't help but sigh.
"Please!" Chen Liang threw the handkerchief to the soldier.
Zhang Ruo sat on a chair, slowly sipping tea, with Yuan Rong and Yuan Tong standing behind him. After the two brothers surrendered to the army, they have been serving as Zhang Ruo's bodyguards.
There are two seventh-grade masters as bodyguards, which is the only one outside the customs.
The sound of footsteps sounded outside the door, followed by a burly man striding in, crossing his hands and bowing to Zhang Ruo: "Chen Liang has met the deputy censor of the capital!"
Zhang Ruo returned the courtesy with a smile: "General Chen, there is no need to be polite. Please don't take offense if you take the liberty of visiting."
Chen Liang smiled and said: "It is indeed a bit strange to be the last general, but the deputy censor of the capital is ordered to monitor the outside of the pass. Chen Liang is the general outside the pass, so naturally he is also among the supervisors. I just feel that the censor is looking up to me. I really want to say it. "The general is not qualified to be personally supervised by the deputy capital censor."
Zhang Ruo laughed and said, "The general is joking, but he doesn't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. Zhang Ruo doesn't like to beat around the bush, no." How about we go straight to the point and speak openly?"
"Of course!" Chen Liang bowed and said, "As long as I am not asked to betray Commander Linghu, I will obey everything else."
Zhang Ruo pondered for a moment and said: "What do you think about the Beiting Protectorate becoming the two Protectorate's Mansion of Anton and Anxi?"
Chen Liang lowered his head and said: "General As for Xiao Cheqi, oh, no, he is now the general of the Hussar, and I have always admired him. His appointment as the governor of Anxi is a great thing for the fight against Bei Yuan."
< br>
"If you say that, I feel relieved!" Zhang Ruodao: "I came to you today to ask for your help."
"The deputy censor of the capital is joking. The final general can help Hussar." What are you doing, General? "
Zhang Ruo looked directly at the other party and said, "General Chen, please don't rush to reject people thousands of miles away. How about you listen to what I have to say before making a decision?"
"Deputy Capital Censor, please speak. I am all ears." Chen Liang dragged a chair and sat next to Zhang Ruo.
"Qingtongxia changed people, Tiele returned to Yandu, Sullivan temporarily took command of the army, this man commanded more than ten thousand infantry and cavalry, and raided Yuan'an!" Zhang Ruo said calmly.
"More than ten thousand troops are nothing to the current Hussar General, right?"
"Xiao Duhu is going to leave all these enemies in Yuan'an. Now that they are here, don't go back!" Zhang Ruo said with a smile: "Now we have set up a net, but in order to make our opponents think they are far away, Anxi's troops were insufficient, and Xiao Duhu mobilized not many troops. Moreover, he originally thought that if Sullivan could control the army, he would definitely send out all the troops. In this way, Anxi's troops could avoid the real situation. Go straight to Qingtong Gorge, and then force Sullivan to get stuck on both sides, running back and forth. A bigger flaw is revealed in it for our army to break through with one blow."
Chen Liang took a deep breath: "Xiao Duhu has always been the best at finding the enemy's flaw during movement and then layering it up! Peeling off the enemy's skin layer by layer, just like when he defeated King Zuoxian of the Northern Yuan Dynasty A battle is the same!"
"Unfortunately, we overestimated Sullivan. He did not surrender to Lengge. Lenge took half of his troops and horses to hide in Qingtongxia and did not move. This made things happen. There are some variables, not to mention the 10,000 cavalrymen from Yezhu Ridge who can be mobilized." Zhang Ruodao.
At this point, Chen Liang already understood what Zhang Ruo meant here.
"Deputy Capital Censor, without military orders, our troops will never dare to touch without permission!" Chen Liang directly rejected Zhang Ruo's intention: "This is a serious crime of beheading. Of course, if the Deputy Capital Censor invites After receiving the commander's order, Chen Liang will immediately march out of Yuntaihuang to support Xiao Duhu!"
"If Linghuye is willing to take action together, why should I come to you?" Zhang Ruo shook his head! Said: "But I believe that you, General Chen, are loyal to the court and will make the most correct decision!"
"Sorry!" Chen Liang shook his head and said: "My life was given to me by the commander-in-chief. This position was given to me by the commander-in-chief. Without the commander-in-chief’s orders, I would never have sent troops!”
“Repaying kindness with gratitude is a good virtue!” Zhang Ruodao: “It’s nothing but small kindness and great righteousness. I hope that General Chen will still make a clear distinction. Moreover, General Chen does not need you to actually send troops, as long as you, General Chen, make such a gesture. Yuntaihuang is very close to Yezhu Ridge. You can make a little move here, Yezhu. Ling must know that you have done a great help by nailing the Yuan army in Yeduling to death! I don’t think this will make things difficult for you!”
Chen Liang lowered his head and said nothing.
Zhang Ruo stood up in disappointment, looked at Chen Liang, shook his head, got up and walked out.
"Did Xiao Changche ask the deputy censor to come?" Chen Liang asked.
"No, it's just that when Xiao Changche was discussing with Li Dachui and others, I was listening on the sidelines and heard them talking about this matter. Then Xiao Dongwei said that if you move here, you can have an impact on the army's actions. It's a great help, but both Xiao Changche and Li Dachui think you must I can’t move, so I don’t want to do anything useless. But I want to give it a try! It seems that Xiao Changche and Li Dachui are the better ones. General Chen, leave!”
Zhang Ruobu! After saying a few more words, he left the Yuntaihuang Camp, straddled his horse and headed straight for Zhenwu City.
No matter what Linghuye thinks or says, he still has to make this trip.
Linghuye's unwillingness to coordinate this war is another piece of evidence that he has evil intentions. It may not be useful, but when it is useful, it will drive Linghuye to hell one more level.
Chen Liang sat alone in the hall without moving until the guard came in and lit the oil lamp.
Standing up, Chen Liang chuckled: "Does Xiao Changche and Li Dachui really know me very well? Not necessarily. Yuntaihuang's army will definitely not cooperate with you in the Anton Protectorate's battle to win. Yes, the credit is all yours. If we lose the battle, it’s because we in Anxi didn’t cooperate and support, so the benefits are all yours, right? But then again, the battlefield is so close to Yuntaihuang, and Chen organized an army to conduct an exercise. , it’s okay to test the combat effectiveness of the army, just in case! As for its effect on this war, that’s none of my business.”
