Chapter 1 King Chen Sheng Section 10 The soldiers are divided into two groups
It was about 400 miles from Qi County to Chen County, and it was not difficult to walk. But Gongwei soon discovered that this task was much more difficult than they thought. Chen Sheng gave them 100 pairs of armor, which was originally a good thing to strengthen their strength, but after getting on the road, he found that these hundred pairs of armor became troublesome. It was obviously too ostentatious to wear them. It won’t take long to come, and officers and soldiers would come to the door and throw them away? It was a pity. They had to find two ox carts, put the armor and weapons in the car, and dressed up as farmers who plowed the fields for others, and rushed to Chen County. Fortunately, most of these people were from farmers, so they didn’t have to dress up too much.
But in this way, another problem arose, the speed was too slow. On the first day, I hurriedly walked only seventy miles. I had to arrive at Chen County at this speed. At least five days later. At that time, I was afraid that the news of the uprising would have reached Chen County, and it would be very difficult to sneak into the city.
"Achen, this won't work." Gongwei shook his head while chewing the cake.
"Yeah." Lu Chenhan responded vaguely, and he also realized that if this continues, the purpose of the surprise attack will be difficult to achieve.
"We have two groups of troops." Gongwei raised his neck, drank a large scoop of cold water, and then threw the scoop to Zhou Ben: "I will take a few people away first, and try to get into the city. You will follow the rest of the people behind and make an appointment to meet up."
Lu Chen blinked, tilted his head and looked at Gongwei for a while, thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I'll go, you'll take the other brothers to follow you."
Gongwei grinned, and he reached out and patted Lu Chen on the shoulder: "Achen, if you want to charge, you are not as good as me, but if you want to lead troops, you are obviously a little taller than me. Don't fight. We can do our best to make every effort to use our talents, and we will show our strengths."
Lu Chen also shook his head and smiled. Gongwei said it well. When it comes to fighting, Gongwei is indeed a rare enemy. But I don’t know if his brain burned out last time when he was sick, and his thoughts were a little different from others. The last time he refused to let his brothers steal women was an obvious example, which made his brother still resentful to him. Although he dared not say anything on the surface, he obviously became much more accustomed to him. On the contrary, when the soldiers in Qi County learned that it was Gongwei who suggested that Chen Sheng order the rectification of military discipline and did not allow Qi County to be looted by chaos, they looked at Gongwei with obvious gratitude.
It seems that Gongwei also felt this, and his proposal is in line with the current actual situation.
Lu Chen did not insist anymore. He arranged a few surrendered soldiers from Qi County to follow Gongwei and prepared sufficient dry food and weapons for them. Gongwei took over the dry food, but did not ask for weapons.
"Our purpose is to go to the city, not to fight with people. Bringing weapons will make it easier to attract attention."
Lu Chen smiled, but he didn't insist. With the fists and feet of Gongwei, as long as he didn't meet a large number of official troops, it would be fine to escape. If he really encountered a large number of official troops, even if he had weapons, he would be unable to escape. It seemed unsafe without weapons, but it was actually safer.
The two discussed the meeting place, and Gongwei took Zhou Ben and others to hurry on the road. Zhou Ben was led by Lu Chen with a sword that day. He first tricked the people on the city tower and then attacked the county temple gate. He originally thought that these ideas were all from Lu Chen, but later he realized that these ideas were all from Gongwei, who was extremely wild to kill people. He felt that Gongwei was good and flexible, and he would follow him. Whether it was a chance to survive or be promoted, he would be more likely to be promoted after surrendering, so after surrendering, he didn't even make a name for him and wanted to follow Gongwei. Gongwei didn't dislike him as a surrendered soldier, and was very polite to him and would discuss anything with him. Zhou Ben quickly regarded himself as a confidant of Gongwei and took the initiative to consider everything for Gongwei.
"Sir!" Zhou Ben followed Gongwei and said nervously, "We should bring some weapons to defend ourselves. Even if we don't meet officers and soldiers, it will be useful to meet wild beasts. Now we have bare hands, how can that happen?"
Gongwei smiled and said, "Are you stupid? Just use a stick to deal with wild beasts. You must use a sword?"
Zhou Ben touched his head embarrassedly and smiled: "The sword is sharp, of course it is easy to use, stick... Hehe, I always feel that I have lost my identity."
"Is identity? Is identity important or life important? If you really want to hold a sword, I am afraid that we will be blocked by the officers and soldiers if we can't walk to Chen County." Gongwei said, and broke several suitable tree poles from the side of the road, without even tearing the skin, and threw them into Zhou Ben and the others' hands: "With this kind of holding on the road can prevent wild animals and not cause suspicion, wouldn't it be better?"
Zhou Ben looked at the stick in his hand and nodded with a silly smile: "Sir, wise. However, this thing is just a beast, but it is not enough to deal with people."
"Who said?" Gong Wei smiled, his hand shook, and the wooden stick in his hand hit a tree pole as thick as a wine glass beside him. With a light sound, the tree slowly fell down and fell to the ground. Gong Wei held the wooden stick in his hand and looked around: "Whose head is harder than this tree?"
"Sir--" The soldiers looked at Gongwei in surprise, their tongues stretched out, and it took them a long time to close their mouths and said in a lingering manner: "Sir--Sir-Sir-Sir-Sir-Sir-Sir-Sir-Sir-Sir-Sir-Sir-Sir-Sir-Sir-Sir-Sir-Sir-Sir-Sir-Sir-Sir-Sir-Sir-Sir-Sir-Sir-
"Stop talking nonsense, let's rest for another hour." Gong Wei looked up at the moonlight, estimated the time, and said loudly.
"Here." Zhou Ben took the lead and replied loudly.
After another urgent journey, Gongwei and his men stopped and found a dilapidated house on the side of the road where no one lived. After rushing for a day, the soldiers were tired and fell asleep as soon as they lay down. Zhou Ben was also very tired, but he did not sleep. Instead, he patrolped the surrounding environment and quietly returned to Gongwei's side.
Gongwei hugged his head and leaned against the wall halfway, looked at Zhou Ben with a burning look, and chuckled: "I said, you are good at doing things well, and you are quite organized. You can be the leader of the village and you are a capable person. Why was it so easy to be controlled by Lu Chen that day?"
Zhou Ben's face turned red, but fortunately he couldn't see it at night. He was silent for a moment and sighed: "Sir, I didn't know. I was working all night long the day before yesterday. I should have gone to make up for sleep during the day, but I didn't sleep and went to gamble. I was so sleepy at night. I wanted to sleep secretly for a while in the second half of the night, but I didn't expect... Oh, my mother had said long ago that gambling would kill me, it was true..."
When Zhou Ben's voice became very uncomfortable when he mentioned me, he choked up and didn't say anything more.
"You don't gamble from now on, so that's enough." Gongwei said lightly.
"Oh--" Zhou Ben sighed: "I don't even gamble, and my mother can't see it."
Gongwei was stunned and stared at Zhou Ben for a while. Seeing that Zhou Ben’s eyes were shining with tears and his face was sad, not like a fake. He was silent for a while and kicked Zhou Ben: "I think so much, do it well. In the future, you will be a high-ranking official, take a wife, and have a few children. No matter how many mistakes you make, I think your mother will forgive you."
"Thank you, sir." Zhou Ben wiped his eyes in shame, with a nasal sound in his voice. "It's better to sleep, sir, I'll be on the night."
"Don't!" Gongwei was happy: "I'm afraid you will fall asleep again, and the wild dog comes in and drag us away, and you don't know."
Zhou Ben also smiled. He was really tired. Since Gongwei said that, he was not polite and lay down and went to bed. After a while, just when Gongwei thought he was asleep, Zhou Ben suddenly supported himself again and looked at Gongwei with his face raised: "Sir, can we beat Chen County?"
Gongwei did not answer him immediately. He squinted his eyes and looked at the moon like a jade plate outside. After a long time, he said affirmatively: "Yes! We can not only conquer Chen County, but also Xianyang."
