Finest Servant

The two walked out of Jinling City, chose a direction, and went all the way to the northwest. After less than two hours, he left Jiangsu and arrived in Anhui.

Lin Wanrong was unfamiliar with the terrain. Seeing that Chief Gao was hurrying on the road without a word, he urged his horse to parallel with him and said loudly, "Brother Gao, where are we going?"

Chief Gao slowed down the horse and said with a smile, "This is a fast journey, but I forgot to explain it to you, little brother. We are heading towards Chuzhou, and there are several people waiting for us there."

"Chuzhou?" Lin Wanrong knew that this place was a few hundred kilometers away from Jinling City, and was connected to Fengyang Tianchang and other places. It was the eastern gateway of Anhui. It was across the river from Jiangsu, and its geographical location was very important.

"What are we going to do in Chuzhou? Is Mr. Xu there too?" Lin Wanrong frowned.

Chief Gao said: "Master Xu is not in Chuzhou. The military situation is urgent. He has already rushed to the area of ​​Peixian County in Xuzhou. He only asked me to bring Brother Lin to Chuzhou, where they will meet the troops and horses there, and then drive all the way to Xuzhou via Suzhou."

Lin Wanrong was Xu Wei's staff general. He should have followed Xu Wei's side, but this old man ran away first. It seems that there is indeed an emergency military situation on the front line. However, with Lin Wanrong's current psychology and physiology, he is not ready to go directly to the front line. It is better to get acquainted with the atmosphere after joining the army in Chuzhou first.

Lin Wanrong nodded and said, "That's fine, Brother Gao, how many troops are stationed in Chuzhou? How did Master Xu arrange it?"

Gao Zun shook his head and said, "I don't know much about this. I only heard that there are officers and soldiers from Zhejiang, Shandong, and sergeants from Shenji Camp. I'm only in charge of the safety of adults, and it is Master Xu who arranges the troops. Things that need to be considered, I don’t think I can manage.”

In order to hide people's eyes and ears, the two battalions of infantry and cavalry in Zhejiang passed through Anhui to Shandong, and Lin Wanrong knew it. I heard that there are these three groups of people, there should be a lot of soldiers there, and it seems to be relatively safe.

"If that's the case, then let's hurry up and join the army." Lin Wanrong said impatiently. He had never seen the sight of tens of thousands of soldiers practicing together. It must be very lively.

Chief Gao said with a smile: "It's not busy, we can arrive today. Mr. Xu has a few more words, let me tell Brother Lin."

"Old Xu, oh, what did Master Xu say?" Lin Wanrong said strangely.

"My lord said, Brother Lin, please familiarize yourself with the affairs of the military as soon as possible, and do your duty as a staff general as soon as possible."

Of course this is coming soon. I'm more anxious than you old man Xu,

There are several wives at home waiting to comfort it.

"Your Excellency also said—" Chief Gao said unhurriedly, "The soldiers in Chuzhou are specially reserved for you, Brother Lin. I would like you to arrange them and bring them to the front line."

"Organize the army?" Lin Wanrong was surprised. I am a small staff general, and I have no power and no position. The word "general" is to flatter me. At most, I can give you Xu Wei's bad ideas.

He glanced at Gao Chief suspiciously: "Brother Gao, you heard right, I have neither official position nor military experience, how could Master Xu let me go to rectify the army?"

Chief Gao shook his head and smiled and said, "I heard it clearly and clearly, how could I have made a mistake? Your lord is telling you to go to Chuzhou to reorganize your army."

There are tens of thousands of troops stationed in Chuzhou, but I am a servant to prepare for the war. Isn't this sincere embarrassing me? He is worried and I am not worried. Seeing his hesitation, Chief Gao smiled and said, "Brother Lin, don't worry, I believe in Mr. Xu's vision, he will never see the wrong person. You must have the ability."

Even Gao Chief said so, *, don't I believe in myself, aren't there tens of thousands of people, haven't eaten pig trotters and haven't seen pig run? I just went to toss and have a good time, and I have been addicted to treating people. After all, Xu Wei has handed over the repair of tens of thousands of buses to me. This old man is really relieved of me.

He laughed and said: "Okay, then I'll try it out. In fact, in my humble opinion, although the whole army is difficult, it's still acceptable. Brother Gao, do you know what the most difficult thing in the world is?"

Gao Chief shook his head and asked curiously, "What is it?"

Lin Wanrong smiled mysteriously: "If Brother Gao you marry a dozen wives, you will know what the hardest thing is."

Chief Gao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, he raised his thumb and said, "Tao Jian, Brother Lin is really good." The two looked at each other and let out a burst of lewd laughter that only men can understand.

This way to Chuzhou, the road is neither long nor short, with Gao Chief guards by his side, there is nothing to worry about. Lin Wanrong was thinking all the way. When he arrived in Chuzhou to reorganize the army, what kind of official position should he make, and what kind of prestige tactics should he play in order to shock the soldiers. When I think about it, I get excited and play majestic in front of tens of thousands of people, it must feel very comfortable.

When I arrived in Chuzhou, it was already sunset, and the ancient city of Chuzhou was bathed in the setting sun, peaceful and calm, and I couldn't see the army stationed at all.

In Lin Wanrong's imagination, the place where tens of thousands of troops are stationed must at least be bright with swords and guns, with beacon fires and even camps, warhorses neighing, shouting and killing bursts, just looking at the bustling crowd that was rushing to the market. Scenarios are linked to tens of thousands of troops.

"Brother Gao, aren't we going the wrong way?" Lin Wanrong asked suspiciously.

"What's wrong, I've been on this road for at least four or five times." Gao Zun pointed at the two words on the city gate and smiled: "Look, isn't that Chuzhou?"

Lin Wanrong looked around and saw that there were two bright red characters written on the city gate - Chuzhou, and there was a line of small characters below - Ouyang Yongshu Zhiming.

"What does Uncle Ouyang Yong do?" Lin Wanrong asked strangely.

"This person, I heard Master Xu mention it once last time. It seems to be from the former dynasty. What is Ouyang Xiu's name? He used to be the prefect of Chuzhou here. I heard that this guy likes to drink. There is a monk in Langya Mountain who specially built it to please him. There is a Drunkard Pavilion, there is also a Fengle Pavilion at the foot of Fengshan Mountain in the west of Chuzhou City, and I heard that he also built it." Gao Chief shook his head and said, it was rare to show off his knowledge in front of Young Master Lin, and he was naturally a little proud.

Lin Wanrong nodded, saying that I don't know about Uncle Ouyang Yong, and that I understand Ouyang Xiu. These scholars like to fool people with a name.

"Brother Gao, you said that there is a large army stationed in this city, I look at it, it doesn't look like it." Lin Wanrong and Gao Chief led their horses into the city, looked around and said. This Xingchuzhou city has a long history, and its geographical location is very important. Although it is not as prosperous as Jinling, it also has towering shops and restaurants, and there are many brothels and Chu halls, which is very prosperous.

"This, there should be soldiers and horses stationed!" Gao Chief saw that there were few soldiers and armored men on the street, and he was a little uncertain: "Master Xu clearly said that you were invited to Chuzhou to prepare troops, why can't you see them? The shadow of the horse."

The two held several passers-by and asked several times, but they had never heard of any large army stationed there. Damn it, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, spit and spit can rain, and fart is like thunder, doesn't it evaporate? Either that kid Xu Wei is playing tricks on me.

"Brother Gao, didn't Master Xu tell you who to look for here? It's not the way for blind people like us to run around blindly." Lin Wanrong said.

"Master Xu said that when you arrive in Chuzhou, you will be able to see it if you observe a lot." Chief Gao wiped his cold sweat and said. He has blind trust in Xu Wei, and he will do whatever Master Xu says.

Observed? Look at the fart, this is the prosperous area of ​​Chuzhou City, and I can't see a single officer and soldier when I look around. Could it be that these officers and soldiers hid in the kiln? What kind of riddle does this old man Xu play?

"Get out of the way, get out of the way—" The two of them were looking at the time, when they heard a few rough shouts, and two war horses came running from a distance, galloping like arrows, for a while, pedestrians on the street immediately Dodged like a ghost.

Chief Gao was overjoyed, pulled Lin Wanrong's sleeves and said, "Brother Lin, look, aren't these officers and soldiers?"

Lin Wanrong looked around and saw that the several horses that were galloping were indeed soldiers in Dahua military uniforms. Judging from their arrogant appearance, they should be soldiers under the command of Xu Wei, but I don't know which province they were from. of.

"They are leaving in such a hurry, is there any emergency military situation?" Gao Chief said strangely.

"Really?" Lin Wanrong said with a smile: "I saw that they went to the Lixiangyuan over there. Are they going to deliver letters to the sisters in the courtyard?"

As they were talking, the war horses stopped in front of the Lixiang Courtyard, and an old bustard with thick powder on his face came up to meet him, opened his mouth and said with a smile: "General Zhao, General Fu, ah, how did you guys do it? Come on, Xiaoyu and the others have been waiting for a long time."

The dark-faced officer in the front who looked like a leader smiled and touched the old man's body and said, "Really, didn't that bitch Xiaoyu have enough of my power last night? I've been making a fuss so early. Otherwise, mammy, come with her tonight, this general guarantees that you want to die, and you will be as happy as gods."

The soldiers behind the officer laughed lewdly together, and the old bustard twisted a few times before welcoming the group in.

I'm right, I'm really here to report to my sisters, but wearing military uniforms, these guys are brave enough. Lin Wanrong smiled bitterly and said to Chief Gao: "Brother Gao, is this one of the tens of thousands of troops we are looking for?"

Chief Gao said embarrassedly: "It should be. Brother Lin, what do you think?"

Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "It's a beautiful thing to visit the kiln. Men like it! Or, Big Brother Gao, I'll be the host, let's go shopping too."
