When he came out from behind the Chinese army's tent, Chen Wang's steps were much calmer than before he walked in.
Along the way, Chen Wang was thinking about what Cao Wenzhao said to him in the tent.
When he walked not far from his military tent, Chen Wang had already figured out all the connections.
He also understood how Cao Wenzhao saw his thoughts and why he was willing to help him, giving him the opportunity to lead a battalion alone.
Many things in this world are not for nothing. Cao Wenzhao is indeed helping him, but at the same time, Cao Wenzhao is also helping himself.
Chen Wang looked around at the peaceful tents around him. His eyes were still bright in the darkness, and the last doubt in his heart disappeared.
Cao Wenzhao had the same purpose as him, and wanted to swallow up this Liao army.
It's just that what he wants is to lead his own camp, have greater autonomy, and seek development.
Cao Wenzhao, on the other hand, wanted a confidant to take control of this Liao army as a strong reinforcement on the battlefield later.
In such a chaotic situation, the more military power you have, the better.
It's just that as a battalion, the number of soldiers in each battalion is fixed, and there can only be fewer and no more soldiers in a battalion.
If there are too many, you will definitely be impeached. If you support the troops to respect yourself or have ulterior motives, a few memorials will be issued, and the white ones will be called black.
Although he would not be sentenced to treason, he would probably be dismissed from his post.
Moreover, the imperial court would only issue so much military pay, and even withhold it, so how could it be possible to support them?
The retreat was as fast as the wind, the outflanking was like the forest, the invasion was like fire, and the friendly forces were in trouble and could not move like mountains. It was not just Guan Ning's army.
Cao Wenzhao had encountered similar situations many times, and it was not like he had never suffered defeat when he went to suppress rogue bandits.
Many times the troops under his command were undefeated, and many of the friendly troops who were originally agreed to be responsible for covering the flanks either remained motionless or dispersed the moment they encountered the enemy.
If there is a trustworthy person leading another battalion of soldiers, he can at least feel more at ease and reduce the huge pressure during the subsequent suppression process, instead of worrying about friendly forces being immobile or fleeing like the wind. .
In fact, Cao Wenzhao originally wanted Cao Bianjiao to take over the remaining cavalry under Zhang Waijia.
After all, Cao Bianjiao was a general and could naturally lead a battalion by himself. However, if Cao Bianjiao left, the cavalry in the camp would have to be led by Cao Wenzhao himself.
Moreover, in the battle of Qiutou Town, Cao Bianjiao's rash advance made Cao Wenzhao a little worried.
Cao Dingjiao also commanded the troops, and was also responsible for taking charge of military supplies, ordnance, etc.
All logistical matters in the camp are managed by Cao Dingjiao, and there is no shortage of them.
Just when Cao Wenzhao was thinking, Chen Wang came to see him at this time, which made Cao Wenzhao make a plan in an instant.
Chen Wang has followed him since the first year of Chongzhen. Many people from his family, the Chen family in Guangning, and his in-laws, the Hu family in Guangning, serve as servants under his command, and Chen Wang is even his personal servant.
In the late Ming Dynasty, the relationship between generals and servants was extremely close. They both prospered and suffered losses, and lived and died together.
The general's orders are like mountains, even if the general asks him to die, he will never frown.
In the Ming Dynasty, personal guards and servants had almost the same status as people of the same clan and clan. In order to make the relationship between the servants and them closer, some generals even regarded them as father and son and adopted them as adopted sons.
After many generals died in battle or committed suicide in the late Ming Dynasty, few of their family members surrendered. Most of them died in battle with them or committed suicide.
Cao Wenzhao had no interest in adopting adopted sons, and Chen Wang had followed him for eight years. He had already won Cao Wenzhao's trust by fighting countless battles and even sacrificing his life as a guard.
In Cao Wenzhao's eyes, Chen Wang was his confidant, and he was the kind of person who was extremely loyal.
Naturally, Cao Wenzhao had no way of knowing that the Chen Wang he was familiar with had actually disappeared long ago, replaced by a soul from hundreds of years later.
So after Chen Wang asked to see him, Cao Wenzhao directly finalized the matter for him.
In the previous battle of Qiutou Town, the subsequent military training, and the battle of Pizhou, Chen Wang had shown outstanding abilities.
Observing the details, not fearing in the face of danger, calm in the face of battle, and clear in order, he can serve as a vanguard or as a middle soldier.
He has good military training, is mature and prudent, has a measured advance and retreat, is good at both civil and military affairs, and has the talent to lead a battalion.
The cool breeze blowing from the northwest blew around Chen Wang. When the wind blew, Chen Wang felt his consciousness regained consciousness for a few minutes.
The cool breeze took away a hint of the heat, and Chen Wang slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and stepped forward again.
The servant standing outside the tent noticed Chen Wang approaching, and immediately knelt down on one knee and bowed silently, then stood up and opened the curtain for Chen Wang.
Chen Wang nodded slightly and just walked into the tent.
Everyone in the tent who had been waiting for a long time immediately stood up.
Chen Gong, Hu Zhili, Hu Zhiyi, and Tang Shiping have all been waiting in the tent for news about Chen Wang.
"Brother, how's the situation?"
"Brother Wang, what did the general say?"
The four of them spoke to each other, and the buzzing sound reached Chen Wang's ears in an instant.
"Did the general agree to help?"
"Brother Wang..." "Brother..."
Chen Wang quickly pushed away everyone and shouted in a low voice.
"One deputy general manager and three hundred general managers are responsible for hundreds of people. One or two of them are not stable at all. They are all noisy and decent."
Chen Wang sat back on the chair and poured a cup of tea into the wooden bowl on the table next to him.
"Everyone sit down."
Chen Wang drank all the tea in the bowl and pointed to the chair in the tent.
After all four of them sat down, Chen Wang smiled and spoke slowly and logically.
"When the documents describing the wheel of merit and rewards come out, you can call me Qianhu."
After Chen Wang finished speaking, Hu Zhili stood up and said in surprise.
"Brother Wang, you have been upgraded to three levels in a row."
"Be good, the trial of 100 households will directly surpass the 100 households and deputy 1000 households, and seal the 1000 households."
Hu Zhili sat down, couldn't help but slapped his thigh again, and smacked his tongue.
"etc."
Chen Gong was the same age as Hu Zhili, only twenty-three years old, but he was much more stable than Hu Zhili. He stretched out his hand to stop Hu Zhili who was about to speak.
"Brother Wang has performed well in the two formations. Logically speaking, he can only be promoted two levels to Deputy Qianhu."
"Now I have been promoted to three levels in a row, to the rank of Qianhu. Could it be..."
Chen Gong's expression changed slightly, and he grasped the key point.
Generally speaking, there is only one possibility for unconventional promotion, which is to match the position that will be awarded to the battalion officer later.
Chen Wang put down the wooden bowl in his hand and smiled relaxedly.
"There are only 900 people left in the Qibing Battalion under Zhang Waijia. When we get to Chunhua, I will be the commander-in-chief Qian. I will temporarily lead all the 900 cavalry in the camp."
Chen Wang was still sitting in his original position, but the four people sitting in the tent all stood up.
The four people's eyes were filled with eagerness.
In two months, Chen Wang has been promoted from a servant to the positions of Chief Hundred and General Manager, and now he has been promoted two levels in a row to Chief Thousand.
He was also authorized to temporarily command a battalion. Everyone knew that as long as he could make enough achievements in the future, he could be upgraded to guerrilla!
At that time, you can legitimately lead a battalion of soldiers.
Why do they serve as soldiers to eat food?
The first nature is to regain the homeland and regain the mountains and rivers.
But the second reason is to honor the ancestors and make a wife and a son!
