Nie Chen leaned over and whispered into her ear,
"Then do you know why I was able to subjugate so many people who were once enemies and make them willing to work for me?"
"Okay, okay, you know how good you are, right?"
Weng Qiuchan rolled her eyes helplessly and pouted her mouth slightly.
Seeing this pretty little girl, Nie Chen's heart was filled with excitement. He held her in his arms, slapped her on the round and straight skirt behind her, and said,
"If you question your husband's decision again from now on, let's see how the family will serve you!"
Lin Guangyue, Dongwen, Zhoulong, Zhouhu and others all burst out laughing when they saw this.
When Weng Qiuchan saw that she was spanked in front of so many people and they were laughing at her, her pretty face turned red with anger and she punched Nie Chen hard on the shoulder.
Immediately afterwards, fists hit like a chaotic storm.
"Stop fighting, stop fighting, there are so many brothers here, please save some face for me, the lord!"
"Stop!"
…
After escaping from the camp all the way, Nie Chen solidly demonstrated to all the troops what family harmony means, raising eyebrows and respecting each other as guests.
Several people rode west and arrived five miles away from the camp. From a distance, they saw the army on the official road.
Soon, the soldiers in the distance saw a few of them. They were all wearing fine armors. They looked like they were not ordinary people, and they immediately went to report to the commanders.
Soon, the seven commanders came out on horseback and galloped all the way to the front of Nie Chen and others.
One of the leaders shouted,
"May I ask who you are? But did the Sheriff ask you to come here to wait for us?"
Nie Chen smiled and said,
"I am Nie Chen, the county governor. Commanders, are you feeling safe along the way?"
Hearing this, the seven people all looked startled and looked at each other, feeling the surprise in each other's eyes.
They didn't expect that Nie Chen, the dignified county governor, would be so young and come to greet them in person with just a few people.
This place is not far from Jinping County, and no one would dare to pretend to be a county guard. The seven people immediately got off their horses, knelt on one knee and said,
"Sin will meet with the Sheriff!"
"Everyone, please get up quickly. What are you guilty of? You are all benevolent generals who care about the lives of soldiers."
Nie Chen and others also dismounted, walked forward and helped them up.
The leader held his hands and said,
"Sir, we originally thought that when we arrived at the camp, we would go to you to apologize, but we didn't expect that you would come to greet us in person, which really makes us ashamed.
The seven of us came here with our troops. We just ask you to treat them kindly. They are all innocent and have not killed anyone of yours. As for the seven of us, you will be appointed to deal with them! "
"Do you really let me down?"
Nie Chen looked at the man with a smile.
"This statement is absolutely true. If there is even half a lie, I will be struck by five thunderbolts from heaven and you will die badly!"
"Do you six think so too?"
"Yes, sir, the seven of us have already discussed that we are willing to use our lives in exchange for the lives of these seven thousand soldiers!"
After speaking, all seven people took off their swords and threw them to the ground.
Seeing this, Nie Chen smiled and said,
"Well, what I want you to do is to take the brothers behind you to set up camp and eat in our camp. Our fire-headed army has already prepared a meal for them! Then, lead them well and join us Win the battle.”
Hearing this, the seven people knelt down and expressed their willingness to do the work of dogs and horses.
After taking them back to the camp, the seven thousand people also set up camp and then went to Nie Chen's camp for dinner.
Nie Chen took seven commanders to the commander's tent and ate and chatted.
"I should have invited everyone to eat in the city, but we have too many soldiers. It would be bad to disturb the people. Before you came, we had just wiped out all the bandits in Jinping County, and the people were very supportive of our soldiers. .
At this time, you shouldn't do anything to ruin your reputation. Please forgive me. "
"How dare you? How dare you? Your Excellency is willing to suppress the bandits and restore peace to the people. It's too late for us to admire you."
Nie Chen nodded and smiled,
"I don't know your names, ages, and when you joined the army yet. Why don't you introduce yourselves so that I can arrange positions for you."
Hearing this, the first person to speak stood up, clasped his hands and said,
"Lord Qi, my name is Mo Chen. I am twenty-seven years old. I am a successor of the Mo family's mechanism skills. I have been in the army for eight years and have been serving as a commander."
Hearing this, Nie Chen was surprised and said,
"Oh? The Mo family's mechanism skills? That's a big skill. Do you know how to forge mechanisms and develop weapons?"
"My subordinates are just the same. They mainly learn how to train soldiers and fight. Occasionally, when they have nothing to do, they also make some hidden weapons and the like.
But these are all trivial things, things that are not on the table and make adults laugh. "
"Do you know how to use large-scale mechanisms? For example, things like siege vehicles and arrow towers?"
"I know a little bit about it. The trebuchet at Hukou Pass was built by my subordinates."
"Okay, when you have time, you can study our repeating crossbows and military crossbows. These are all things I invented. It's rare to have someone with the same hobbies. You and I will communicate more in the future."
Nie Chen smiled.
"As long as you don't mind it, I can do it anytime."
Qi Huan was also very interested when he heard that Mo Chen knew how to use organs, and said that he would visit and learn more in the future.
Then, the other commanders all stood up one after another, clasped their hands and said,
"Sir, the last general's name is Guo Ziren. He is from Qingshui County, Weihu County. He is thirty-five years old and has been in the army for twenty years."
"Hey, fellow countrymen, many of us in the army are fellow countrymen."
"Sir, the last general, Taiyi, is thirty years old and has been in the army for ten years."
"My lord, the last general, Zhou Jinzhong, is twenty-nine years old and has been in the army for eleven years."
"Sir, the last general, Li Wenxiao, was once a scholar, but later abandoned his literary career and joined the army. He was thirty-one years old and had been in the army for seven years."
"Well, the four of you are all loyal, filial, benevolent and righteous."
"My lord, the last general, Dong Chi, is twenty-six years old. He is familiar with military books and knows how to train troops."
"Sir, the last general, Xu Hongzhi, is thirty-five years old and has been in the army for eighteen years."
The last person to speak was a man as tall as an iron tower.
Nie Chen nodded and said,
"Everyone, I can see that you are all talented people, and being the commander is really a bit unfair.
To be honest, in just over two months since I started the army, the number of troops under my command has expanded from a few thousand to nearly 50,000.
A thousand armies are easy to get, but a general is hard to find.
I recruited soldiers and horses too quickly, and there will be more in the future, but there are very few people under me who know how to train and fight.
Not counting the current two commanders and three powerful generals, there are only a dozen commanders with real military backgrounds, which simply cannot keep up with the growing scale.
Therefore, I want you to be the generals, train the new soldiers, command the new soldiers, and completely establish the regiments and legions into regular main legions.
Are you seven generals willing to take on this important task? "
