Chapter 251: Nothing Tastes Better Than Spring Water
Snapped!
Just as everyone was shocked, the bullet directly broke the branch!
They immediately turned their heads to look in the direction of the bullet. The bullet hit the back mountain, causing dust to fly!
Liu Baizhong opened his eyes wide and looked at the Mang Organization with fear!
You know, a spent force crossbow cannot pierce the silk cloth of Lu, but the weapon of the Mang organization is very powerful!
Even Yue Shan’s Shield Battalion can’t compete with it!
Snap, snap, snap, snap!
Four gunshots were heard in succession. Chen Changan stood still, waiting for the whistling of bullets!
The four bullets still splashed up a lot of dust, and Mang organized the young men to run back.
He saluted Chen Changan and said happily, "Thank you for the reward, my Lord! Hahaha!"
They ran away happily, but Liu Baizhong was completely silent.
“Master Liu, didn’t you say that no one could be shot?”
"Look for yourself, my men shot it."
Chen Changan is fearless and willing to be a target. This kind of courage is not something that a scholar can possess.
In addition, the young man from the Mang organization has completely made Liu Baizhong surrender.
Liu Baizhong and Yue Shan looked at each other, bowed their heads and knelt on the ground: "My Lord, I thought you defeated Tiefutu purely by luck, but now I know that you really have the strength!"
"The Ruishi Battalion awaits your orders. Liu Baizhong is willing to submit!"
Yue Shan didn't say anything, but there was guilt on his face.
Chen Changan helped the two men up: "Master Yue, Master Liu, any weapon is only auxiliary. The key to victory on the battlefield lies in the combat quality of individual soldiers and their desire for victory."
"From today on, I hope you will unite as one and not look down on each other."
"If we can win this time, I will definitely ask for credit for you two in front of the emperor."
Yue Shan and Liu Baizhong both smiled bitterly and shook their heads. They didn't have any difficulties to overcome, it was just that their thinking was not unified.
Under the leadership of Chen Changan, the two of them put aside their grudges and laughed it off.
"I will follow the instructions of my husband!"
After finally reorganizing the scattered combat unit, Chen Changan had dinner with the soldiers.
There were more than 200 soldiers inside who had no food to eat. After pondering for a moment, Yue Shan took the lead in dividing food from his own rations, and the others followed suit.
If I skip a meal, I won’t be able to withstand Yue Shan’s training!
Chen Changan has no organization.
Those who disobey orders are regarded as trash in the army, but those who abandon their companions are even worse than trash!
Chen Changan stayed outside Qingzhou City for seven days.
The morale of the sergeants in training has been high these days. Everyone seems to have endless energy and is actively engaging in training.
Even Yue Shan, who had led troops for many years, could not help but admire that scene and gave Chen Changan a thumbs up.
On the eighth day, a large amount of food and fodder was transported from the rear.
Xiao Zhennan's order has also arrived, asking Chen Changan to bring food and supplies and rush to Yanzhou to meet him.
Chen Changan ordered the camp to be moved without any delay.
They marched thirty miles every day, and used their free time for training. They marched very slowly, and after ten days they were still a hundred miles away from Yanzhou.
That night, the army camped near Blue Moon Lake.
Everyone gathered in Chen Changan's tent. Liu Baizhong sighed, "According to our current pace, we will reach Yanzhou in three days at most."
"As long as the grain and grass are delivered, I'm afraid they will attack the city and seize the territory. We have nothing to do with it."
Yue Shan couldn't accept this and said bitterly: "I don't think Lord Xiao intends to let us go to the battlefield at all!"
"According to the walking plan, we should travel fifty miles a day. We would have arrived in Yanzhou long ago!"
"Hmph, to be honest, he clearly looks down on the prince consort!"
Liu Baizhong pulled Yue Shan and said, "The princess' happiness is related to her husband's marriage, so he should not go if he can avoid it."
Chen Changan sighed, shook his head and said, "Master Yue, I can accept what you said about Master Xiao looking down on me, but it's not that there are benefits to not being on the battlefield."
"It's been more than half a month. I have long regarded the soldiers as my family. How could I feel good if I hurt anyone?"
Yue Shan still shook his head: "I don't agree with the Prince Consort's opinion. The general should have died on the battlefield. Fortunately!"
Chen Changan knew that he could not convince Yue Shan, a traitor, so he immediately ordered: "Tell all the soldiers that they need to defend themselves strictly now."
"We have entered the territory of the Red Flower Society. Be careful."
Yue Shan and Liu Baizhong took the order and went out to tidy up the tents like an iron barrel.
When it was time for dinner, Chen Changan looked at the sparkling Blue Moon Lake and ate the fragrant rice. Chen Changan and the soldiers were having a great time.
Chen Changan put the bowl aside and sang loudly.
"Nothing tastes better than mountain spring water, ah liuliu,
The most fun thing is the legs of a prostitute. Ah, oh,
There is a lump in the middle of my thigh.
Water comes out when you touch it lightly, ah…"
They are all men in the army. After getting along with Chen Changan for more than half a month, they also feel that this prince consort treats his soldiers very well.
Plus, he sang such an alluring little song that the soldiers all laughed out loud.
Only scholars know how to have fun!
"Take a look at the little song I sing. How about it? Isn't it much better than the humming you guys are singing?"
Chen Changan joked with them, and the soldiers found it even funnier.
A group of fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys were so enticed that their faces turned red, hoping that Chen Changan would continue singing.
Chen Changan pointed at the young man who stopped him that day and tapped his forehead: "You said that day that his name was Xu Polu, right?"
"Yes!" Xu Polu licked his lips and reported, "My father was a soldier in the Tiger and Leopard Battalion. He died on the battlefield and named me Xu Polu!"
"I hope that one day we can drive out the Tartars and restore the Central Plains!"
Chen Changan gave a thumbs up: "I said it that day, he is a good candidate."
"This time when the shipment arrives in Yanzhou, I recommend Lord Yue and Liu Baizhong as the vanguard generals. How about you come with me to organize the training?"
"You can master new weapons and get a high monthly salary. Are you willing to come?"
Everyone fell silent and looked at Xu Polu with envy.
The members of the Mang organization can be seen holding muskets in their hands and having something bulging wrapped around their waists, but no one knows what it is.
If he joined the Mang organization, at least he would have a better chance of surviving on the battlefield.
Xu Polu licked his lips vigorously. "My Lord, I want to ask, can the Mang Organization... go to the battlefield and fight against the barbarians?"
Xu Polu's question stumped Chen Changan.
The purpose of his establishing the Mang Organization was not for the Chu State, but to protect his own family business one day.
Going to the battlefield is too far away from him.
"With you guys in Da Chu, why would the Mang Organization go to the battlefield?"
Xu Polu's face was filled with disappointment, and he shook his head vigorously: "My Lord, thank you for your cultivation!"
"One day I will go to the battlefield to conquer the barbarians and avenge my father with my own hands!"
"The hatred for killing my father is irreconcilable!"
Xu Polu's words were powerful and Chen Changan shook his head slightly.
He didn't want to continue on this topic, so he stood up and said, "Old Ma, accompany me for a walk, go fishing, and improve the food for the soldiers."
Old Ma glanced at the sky, shook his head and said, "Master, this is the forbidden area of the Red Flower Society. What if we go down to the lake rashly and they are prepared?"
Yue Shan said, "With Lord Xiao's army passing through, how will the Red Flower Society ambush us?"
"Besides, there are aquatic plants in the water. Your Majesty can use fire attack on the water surface. Why would he be afraid of the Red Flower Society?"
Chen Changan nodded and laughed: "Master Yue is right. Old Ma, let's build a bamboo raft, go fishing, and relax."
