Wang He went to the war with the army two days before Chen Xi went to the war. After being repeatedly harassed and expressed his loyalty, he reluctantly agreed. Chen Xi had always said that he would keep Wang He in Jianggan and would not let him involve war. He had already stated that he would perform his merits afterwards, but it was useless. Wang He was determined to follow Shen Xi.

Wang He depreciated himself and became the leader of a team of two thousand people.

Chen Xi scoffed at Wang He's statement and frowned: "If the war is defeated and the soldiers are withdrawn, is it a good thing to bring so many possessions?"

"Um?"

Wang He didn't understand why Chen Xi considered the issue of defeating the war. In his impression, Chen Xi had never suffered a defeat since he led the troops. It can be said that he was invincible and defeated. Suddenly speaking, there must be some reason.

Wang He asked cautiously: "Sir, do you think this war is not easy? The rebels may have a substantial threat to the army that will be launched? If so, it is better to send more troops to the expedition. In the end, you can dispatch another six thousand troops at any time. It's just a matter of your words!"

Chen Xi found himself a little restless, calmed down for a moment, and said, "I'm just making an assumption, General Wang doesn't have to be nervous."

"But then again, I can't afford to support you if you give me eight thousand soldiers. If the logistics cannot keep up, it's better to just 2 thousand. Just go straight, even if I want to withdraw my troops, I won't be able to take so many people to escape! Tell those officials and gentry that the officials accepted their gifts with a smile, and let the soldiers take them away, and then transported them away after they left the city... Alas, don't give them for free!"

Wang He was disappointed next to him. He felt that Chen Xi was not a good thing before he went to war. He did not want to go to Huguang to fight as the commander of Jiangxi. As a result, he was defeated. He did not follow Chen Xi to receive the merits, but was implicated.

...

...

The sun appears on the horizon in the east.

Originally, he went to the war to get out early but not late, but Chen Xi was not so particular. He went to the war to get out without asking the court, so he had to decide on everything.

The specific opening time today is decided by him.

Chen Xi went down the steps of the governor's yamen, turned over and rode his horse out of the city with Wang He.

Chen Xi's car was ready. At this time, under the protection of the guards, he drove out from the back door of the governor's yamen. Huiniang and Li Jin sat in the carriage in men's clothes and went out to war as Chen Xi's servant.

Since Yun Liu and Xier had already left Nanchang Prefecture, the only people around him who actually followed Chen Xi to fight was Shen Yongqi. As for the military commanders and historians under him, Wang He was all transferred from the commander-in-chief to serve as the yamen.

Before, Chen Xi was going to take the Song family girl on the road and ask Hui Niang to train her, but because the Song family girl is outstanding in appearance and looks charming, she is not very suitable for wearing men's clothing. She is also embarrassed in Nanchang Mansion, Chen Xi sent someone to take the Song family girl to Jiujiang Mansion together with her slaves, and then took a boat from Jiujiang Mansion to Wuchang, and temporarily stayed in the backyard of the Governor's Mansion.

When Hui Niang and Li Jin come back with Chen Xi to fight, they will transfer her back to Nanchang Mansion and concentrate on learning how to do things with Hui Niang and Li Jin.

Except for officials and gentry coming to see you off, there were very few people in the city who sent the army to fight. Even when the road was closed, the people did not know what had happened and looked for people everywhere to inquire.

When they saw the officers and soldiers from the governor's yamen leaving the city, the people hurriedly hid in the alley next to the street and peeped from a distance, for fear of being captured by the officers and soldiers or robbed.

In the past few years, in eastern Gansu and southern Gansu, the area of ​​quelling ethnic minority rebellions and destroying bandits, basically relying on plundering people's wealth and spelling for soldiers. This has almost become a tradition. The people have never seen any army or general who have not violated the ordinary people.

After Chen Xi and the soldiers around him disappeared from the end of the street, the common people came out of the alley with fear, patted their chests in fear, and then went to do their own things. So there was more topics to talk about how to "get out of danger" with others.

Chen Xi was on the high-headed horse and saw the scene that the people were avoiding. He shook his head and said to Wang He: "General Wang, it seems that when you return from the war, you are very urgent to have the work of restoring the people at hand!"

"Anmin!?"

Wang He looked surprised and said after a while, "What the lord said is that I will obey your instructions and wait until the battle is victorious and take the work of peace as the focus..."

Chen Xi, regardless of whether Wang He understood or not, continued to look at the road ahead and said, "General Wang, this march will be very hard. If you are not at ease with the military affairs of Jianggan, please stay here in Nanchang Prefecture. I can go on the battle by myself! I am already very pleased with the elite soldiers and powerful generals you have drawn."

Wang He finally got Chen Xi's request to go to war with him, so how could he give up such a good opportunity: "What the lord said? I will be able to go to war with you. That is a blessing I have cultivated in my previous life. If it is something others can't ask for!"

Chen Xi smiled slightly: "But here I want to remind General Wang that General Su of the Huguang Commander General also volunteered to lead the troops. I had already gone to Wuchang to send him two thousand troops to move from Wuchang Prefecture to Changsha Prefecture. At that time, you old friends will meet each other, don't be embarrassed!"

Wang He's face suddenly became a little unpleasant.

He thought that he had followed Chen Xi to fight as the commander of Jiangxi, which was already a loss of power, and others would not imitate it at all. But who knew that the responsibilities of being the deputy general of Chen Xi were also very popular. Su Jingyang, the commander of the commander of Huguang Commander, was like him, and would lead troops to fight with Chen Xi, which made the situation complicated.

The key point is that Wang He was once Su Jingyang's subordinate. Although the two are at the same level, Wang He was embarrassed to compete for me when he saw his old boss.

From a geographical point of view, Huguang's defense level is higher than Jiangxi. The importance of the two provinces is Huguang. The status of Huguang commander is relatively higher. Wang He feels that he may not be able to make much contribution in Shenxi's army. But he doesn't want to look back and said, "Just don't worry, the general will never compete with General Su!"

Chen Xi smiled and nodded: "That's good. If you two can get along well with each other, this battle will be much smoother. I'm afraid you will fight first."

"Actually, I will transfer two thousand troops from Huguang and Jiangxi each, and the military appearance is similar. You have nothing to fight for. Who can achieve military achievements then? Let's see the truth behind you!"

Wang He was stunned when he heard this.

According to Chen Xi's meaning, recruiting 4,000 troops to suppress the rebels was not to act together, but to fight each other, as if there was a comparison between them, to see whoever gained more military achievements would be appreciated by Chen Xi. Wang He quickly asked, "Sir, what do you mean by...?"

Chen Xidao: "Is there anything difficult to understand? In order to avoid difficulties in General Wang and General Su, I asked you to lead your own troops, not subordinate to each other, and obey your orders in everything."

"I don't need you to cooperate with each other and complete your own tasks. Whoever has the credit is his own. This makes it much easier for me to distinguish."

"If it involves collaborative combat and obtaining credit together, how to divide the credit is a big problem. I will not do such a thankless thing!"

Logically speaking, Chen Xi said the method is just right, both sides fight on their own, and whoever leads the troops will be counted as the one who gets the military achievements. If the troops are defeated, they will bear their own sins.

But Wang He felt awkward when he heard this. In this way, was Chen Xi leading the troops, or did he and Su Jingyang lead the troops?

Wang He really wants to ask, we fight for our own good and good fortune, so what do you want to do? Isn’t it just sitting in the back to watch the fun, right?
