"Shut up!"
Zhu Bangguo suddenly turned around and glared at Zhu Pengfei, saying: "You kid, you were lucky enough to succeed in a raid last time. Do you think fighting is as simple as fighting? I think you have been dazzled by a few victories!"
Seeing that his son still had a look of dissatisfaction on his face, he snorted coldly and continued: "Li Yuanqing is a veteran on the battlefield. Although he is seriously injured right now, do you think you can take advantage of him?"
He looked at the others again and said: "Humph! I know that many of you people have this idea. I put my words here. If you lead troops to raid Pingzhou today, do you believe it or not? I’m sure Li Yuanqing will make the dumplings!”
After hearing this, all the captains stopped talking.
Li Yuanqing has been famous for a long time and has led troops for many years. It is impossible for him to expose such obvious flaws.
"Alright! Just do as the general said, and let me reinforce the defenses!"
Zhu Bangguo waved his hand and asked everyone to perform their duties.
When Wang Cheng turned around and was about to leave, Zhu Bangguo suddenly stopped him and said, "Your people will be arranged in the southwest corner outside the city. If nothing happens, you can go see them."
After hearing this, Wang Cheng felt some expectations and a little panic in his heart, quite like the feeling of "I feel more timid when I'm close to my hometown."
Because he had calculated everything, he had only been in the army for twenty days. During these twenty days, he had spent more than half of his time running around. He was a little worried that those people would still recognize him?
After leaving the camp, Zhu Pengfei was still depressed. After drumming for a long time, he finally couldn't hold it anymore and said to Wang Cheng: "Do you think my father was scared out of his wits by Li Yuanqing? He didn't even use such a good opportunity?"
"Afraid? That's not the case!" Wang Cheng shook his head and said.
"Then why doesn't he agree with my idea?" Zhu Pengfei said angrily.
Wang Cheng did not answer immediately because he agreed with Zhu Pengfei's idea.
He always believes that offense is the best defense, because there is no absolutely perfect defense in this world. Any defense will have loopholes, and loopholes mean it will be broken.
However, Zhu Bangguo's words are not unreasonable. Li Yuanqing will not leave such a big flaw. If there is, it must be his intention.
Wang Cheng said: "The general naturally has his own considerations in doing this. We can just follow the order."
Moreover, up to now, Zhou and Xia have not officially declared war, and the recapture of Ji County is nothing more than revenge for the Black Eagle Army's raid on Yinshan County. If you really want to lead troops to attack Li Yuanqing's camp, you are really declaring war.
Thinking of this, Wang Cheng felt like his head was spinning. He didn't understand the words of the Soldier Saint Sun Wu if he wasn't in this position, but now he can really understand it.
"Soldiers are important matters of the country, the place of life and death, and the path to survival. We must pay attention to them."
Zhu Pengfei, who was still unhappy at first, was immediately stunned after hearing this.
"Soldiers are important matters of the country, the place of life and death, and the path to survival. We must pay attention to them."
He read it silently and felt that what he said made sense, but he couldn't fully understand it for a while.
"Okay! See you later!"
Wang Cheng patted Zhu Pengfei on the shoulder, and before Zhu Pengfei could react, he had already walked out of the city.
South camp.
This is a large camp built outside the city, located in the southwest corner outside the city, with the mountains to the south as its back.
This camp is where Wang Cheng's school troops are stationed, but this is his first time here.
Therefore, he did not know the specific situation of the people in this school. To put it bluntly, he did not know most of the people.
Because the men in this school originally belonged to Zhu Bangguo's cousin, and after he was executed, he took over.
The camp was built very conservatively, with a completely defensive posture. From the outside, it looked like a turtle shell covered with thorns.
As soon as Wang Cheng appeared at the gate of the camp, the two soldiers responsible for guarding immediately shouted.
"The captain is back!"
"My lord is back!"
The shouts came into the camp like waves, one after another.
The complex emotions that Wang Cheng had previously felt in his heart suddenly disappeared after hearing these shouts.
Soon, many soldiers gathered at the gate of the camp.
These people had basically seen Wang Cheng before, but at this time they acted as if they had never seen him before.
Because Wang Cheng would give them a new shock every time he showed up. What others could not achieve in a lifetime was as simple as eating and drinking.
"Radiant! Has your Excellency made a new breakthrough?"
"Hey! Isn't it normal for adults to have breakthroughs in cultivation?"
"It is said that your Excellency has the potential to become a peerless warrior. Has he already reached that level?"
…
Just when everyone was looking at Wang Cheng, a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe squeezed out of the crowd.
"My lord! My lord!"
This man wore a scribe's hat to cover up his bald head. It was Liu Qingsheng, who had recently taken over the position of Chief Lieutenant under him.
In the past few days when Wang Cheng was seriously injured, he had been handling everything in the camp.
"Thank you for these days, sir!"
Wang Cheng gave Liu Qingsheng a fist salute, and he sincerely thanked Liu Qingsheng.
Seeing that everything in the camp was running as usual, Liu Qingsheng must have put a lot of thought into it.
"My lord please!"
Liu Qingsheng made an "invite" gesture to Wang Cheng and welcomed Wang Cheng into the village.
Many people came over along the way, all to see Wang Cheng.
“Yin Bo!”
"Zhou Hang!"
"Wu Dalong!"
…
Wang Cheng called out their names one by one. These people were considered his "old subordinates".
When he first became Sima of the army, these people had already followed him.
Later, he was promoted to the rank of captain, and received the title of baronet in Lingwu County. His former superior, the captain Hong Yongqian, was very happy and handed over all the thousand men and horses to him.
This approach was of course done with the approval of Jianwei Zhonglang General Zhu Bangguo, otherwise Hong Yong would not have dared to do it and would not have had the right to do it even if he had given Hong Yong ten courages.
"boom!"
Wang Cheng punched Yin Bo's strong chest and said, "Not bad! It seems you are about to break through!"
Yin Bo showed a simple and honest smile. The strong man who was half a head taller than Wang Cheng was now like a primary school student who was praised by the teacher, with nowhere to put his big hands.
Wang Cheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "You have the potential to become a fierce general. When your strength reaches three thousand pounds, I will teach you an ancient method."
Yin Bo didn't react at first, but after a while, he realized that Wang Cheng wanted to teach him the ancient warrior's method, and said happily: "Sir, are you telling the truth?"
There is no shortage of techniques for cultivating ancient warriors in the army, but most of the techniques are commonplace. If you really hope to rely on those techniques to become an ancient warrior, you may not know for sure.
Really good ancient methods have always been in the hands of those generals. Although those generals are not as strong as aristocratic families and sects, they will not easily pass on ancient methods to others. After all, that is the basis for their promotion.
"When did I ever lie to you?" Wang Cheng pretended to be angry.
Yin Bo's gourd-shaped face immediately turned into the shape of a bitter melon, and tears were about to flow out.
Wang Cheng comforted him and said, "Okay! I'll teach you the ancient methods!"
When Yin Bo heard this, the smile returned to his face.
"Sir! You can't favor one over the other! Although we are not like Yin Bo who joined your army early, we have killed summer dogs in a group and burned down Yanzhou City together!"
"That's right! I've been in the Qi and Blood Realm for many years, and I still don't have the ancient method. Sir, you can't forget me!"
"Yes! Sir! Don't forget us, we are also your soldiers now!"
…
Another group of people ran over and immediately surrounded Wang Cheng and others.
"Liu Zixiang!"
"Wang Chenyu!"
…
Wang Cheng called out their names one by one, looked at the faces, and asked doubtfully: "Didn't you go back? Why are you here?"
These people are not his old subordinates, they are the group of cavalry who raided Yanzhou City with him a few days ago.
Cavalry has always been a scarce unit in the Great Zhou Dynasty. As a general of Jianwei Zhonglang, Zhu Bangguo commanded 10,000 horses, but he could not even get 3,000 cavalry under his command.
In fact, there are only two thousand cavalry at full count, and the other thousand cavalry are improvised. Anyone who has ridden a horse or a donkey is included.
Therefore, these cavalrymen are very valuable in the eyes of Zhu Bangguo. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are treasures, but Zhu Bangguo is actually willing to incorporate them into his command?
At this time, Liu Qingsheng whispered a few words in his ear, and he suddenly understood.
It turned out that these cavalrymen had been here for several days, and Zhu Bangguo transferred them to his command after returning that night.
However, this is not all the cavalry, there are only 1,800, and most of them are still in the hands of Zhu Bangguo.
Although there were only less than a thousand cavalry, Wang Cheng was still very happy. After all, he was just a captain leading 3,000 troops. With a thousand cavalry in hand, he was extremely rich.
Wang Cheng looked at Liu Zixiang and others and said with a smile: "Okay! Everyone under my command, whether you have been with me for a long time or just came here, will be treated equally in terms of martial arts!"
"Your Excellency is wise!"
"Your Excellency is wise!"
Everyone cheered suddenly, and they all wanted to rush up and pick up Wang Cheng.
They were so eager for the Kung Fu, but apart from the second- and third-rate Kung Fu passed down from the military, they had no other options. How could they not be happy now that they had Wang Cheng's personal promise?
Seeing the happy group of people, Wang Cheng felt unprecedentedly satisfied.
This kind of satisfaction is not material, but spiritual.
He found that he could attract so many people's support, which he had never had before, and these people would become his most effective assistants.
To be more precise, these people have become his hardcore subordinates!
Even if he says "go kill Li Yuanqing" now, he believes that these people will follow him without hesitation.
"Is this my team?"
Wang Cheng felt melancholy in his heart, because from now on, he could no longer get along with these people as casually as before, and he had to be responsible for them.
This melancholy quickly disappeared and was replaced by the overwhelming pride of crossing mountains and rivers.
"Beat the drums! Gather the troops!"
