Chapter 38 (Part 1) Infinite Scenery

Wearing heavy Mingguang armor and his iconic white cloak, he led his two henchmen, Guo Feng and Chen Ci, to mount their horses and leave the camp of the Patriot Army. Chen Yingliang trotted directly towards Anximen in the north of Luoyang.

.

It was noon, and there were many civilians and passers-by on the street. A group of civilian vehicles carrying supplies for the city defense passed by. The defenders escorting the supplies, plus the patrolling soldiers, made the streets of Luoyang originally wide enough.

It seems a bit crowded. In order to accommodate the full load of people,

A vehicle carrying supplies from the city passed by. The soldiers escorting the vehicle even used whips, beating and scolding them to force passers-by to get out of the way. Several Henan county government officials who couldn't avoid it were also whipped. As a result, several government officials not only did not dare to say a word,

They had to endure the humiliation and expel the people for the baggage train and clear the way forward.

In this situation, it stands to reason that Chen Yingliang, who has no official position and no job, has to wait until the baggage train has passed before he can cross this must-pass street and go north to Anximen. But strangely enough, when he saw the

Chen Yingliang and others in white robes arrived on horseback, and saw Chen Yingliang's face still looked childish.

His face was so angry that the Sui military captain who was responsible for escorting the baggage immediately jumped up as if he had been beaten to death. He kicked the civilian soldiers with his feet and shouted, "Make way! Make way! The white-robed soldiers are coming."

!The Chen Record Office is here! The Chen Record Office of the White-robed Soldier is here, make way for him quickly!"

People screamed, horses neighed, chickens flew and dogs jumped. The heavy horse carriage, ox cart and wheelbarrow seemed to be pushed by some invisible big hand. In less than a moment, Chen Yingliang gave way to a straight road five or six paces wide. The common people and passers-by on both sides of the motorcade were

Almost all of them were forced to stand against the wall. The patrol team and the Henan County government officials who were passing by simply opened their hands and held hands to stop the people behind them.

There were no complaints. Even the common people who had been whipped and passers-by stopped moaning. They all craned their necks to look at Chen Yingliang. There was a lot of discussion, "Who is the Chen Jiji Office? What? The kid in the middle is the Chen Jiji Office?!"

Is it true or not? He looks a few years younger than my son, how could he be the Chen Record Office of the White-robed Soldier?"

"Is he Chen Jishi? Oh my god! He's so young! I heard that he led hundreds of white-robed soldiers, went in and out of hundreds of thousands of rebels, burned the rebels' food and grass, and killed several

Thousands of traitors! I heard that the corpses of the rebels on the Mang Mountain battlefield were piled higher than Mang Mountain! They were all killed by him!"

"I also heard that he is the reincarnation of Chen Qingzhi, the man who led seven thousand white-robed soldiers from Jiangning to Luoyang City more than eighty years ago. My grandfather even sang a nursery rhyme about him, the famous master general Mo Zilao

, Thousands of troops and horses avoid white robes!"

Similar whispers and discussions came and went, and the looks towards Chen Yingliang were full of surprise, fear and admiration. Although Guo Feng and Chen Ci still held their chests straight, their faces still showed a look of pride that could not be concealed.

The main party involved, Chen Yingliang, had a fever on his face. He bowed his hands to the Sui military captain who nodded and bowed to him and said, "Thank you, General, for making way. However, I don't have anything urgent to do. Your escorting the baggage is an important matter for the court, so you should leave first."

"Don't be polite in Chen Ji's office, you should leave first." The Sui military captain was so excited that he stuttered a little, "It is the general's honor and our honor to be able to... make way for Chen Ji's office.

"

Before the captain finished speaking, the brigade commander, captain and deputy under his command were all nodding, and they all agreed with the statement of their immediate superiors - it was an honor for his team to make way for Chen Yingliang. Chen Yingliang felt increasingly embarrassed, so he had to

He then raised his hands to the captain and others and said, "In that case, I'd like to thank the general. General, continue your hard work. I'll leave first."

The captain nodded quickly like a chicken pecking at rice, and led a group of subordinates to respectfully watch Chen Yingliang leave. It was only after Chen Yingliang rode away that the captain slapped his thigh and screamed in great annoyance: "Oops!

I was so nervous because I was patronizing, how could I forget something important? Finally, I had a chance to talk to Chen Ji’s office. I should beg him to let me join the white-robed soldiers! It’s a pity, it’s a pity, it’s such a pity!”

"General, there are only four regiments of white-robed soldiers, and all four regiments have captains. Is it impossible for you to become a captain in the past?"

"Fart! Who said I want to be a captain of the White-robed Soldiers? As long as I can join the White-robed Soldiers, I can be a soldier! Follow Chen Ji's Office to achieve more military exploits, and I will be afraid of killing all the traitors Yang

Can’t get promoted?!”

Just like that, we arrived at Anximen without any hindrance. Due to the enemy's situation and fighting, the area around Anximen was already under full martial law. The ramp leading to the city wall was heavily guarded, with one post every three steps and one sentry every five steps.

, it is difficult for ordinary people to get within 20 steps of him. He is already famous in Luoyang.

Chen Yingliang didn't want to give the impression of being arrogant, so he reined in the horse 20 steps away. However, before Chen Yingliang could get off his horse, the Sui army brigade commander who was guarding the corridor to the upper city had already rushed up and grabbed Chen Yingliang's hand.

He took the horse's reins and shouted: "Come quickly, help Chen Jishi dismount."

"No, no, general. You don't have to be polite." Chen Yingliang quickly declined the brigade commander's kindness. Before the Sui soldiers came up to help him get off his horse, he said to the brigade commander who nodded and bowed to him: "General, I heard about what happened last night.

, I also heard that the enemy was discovered outside Anxi Gate today, and I want to go to the city to observe the enemy's movements. Could you please send someone to the city to inform Master Yuan or General He and ask them to allow me to enter the city."

"Chen Ji's Office, aren't you trying to embarrass a villain?" The brigade commander said with a bitter smile: "Others need to report when they board the city, but who are you? The Chen Ji's Office of the white-robed soldiers! The first general of our Youwu Guards

! You have to report and ask for instructions when you go to the city. General He has to slap me with a big ear! I will tie your horse for you, please go to the city quickly."

"General, please don't say that, let alone be the first general of the Youwu Guard. I am not even old enough to join the Youwu Guard." Chen Yingliang quickly waved his hands modestly and said sincerely: "This general has a mountain of military skills.

I am not a garrison officer at Anximen, and I don’t have a pass or official document in my hand. I am not performing official duties. Without the permission of Master Yuan or General He, I am not qualified to go to the city directly. I would also like to ask the general to do some hard work and send someone to General He or Yuan.

Sir, please report it."

Seeing Chen Yingliang's resolute attitude, the brigade commander did not dare to disobey him. He sent people to the city to find Yuan Wendu or He Lanyi who were supervising Anximen to report the matter. Unfortunately, the brigade commander was caught off guard by the unlucky brigade commander.

, in less than a moment, He Lanyi, the tiger general with dark circles on his face, rushed down from the city wall and arrived.

Without saying a word, Chang immediately slapped the brigade marshal hard on the face, then kicked him to the ground and roared: "Blind your mother's dog eyes! Who is Brother Ying Liang? He

You need to ask me for permission to go up to the city wall to patrol the enemy's situation? Go to the military judge and ask him to give you twenty lashes!"

The unlucky brigade commander almost burst into tears. Chen Yingliang hurriedly saluted He Lanyi and said: "General He, don't blame him. I asked him to send someone to ask you for instructions. My brother, I have no official position and it's not because of official business."

The city, regardless of the military and legal laws, must obtain the consent of General He or Mr. Yuan. This general acted in accordance with the law and was found guilty of meritorious service. I also ask General He to show mercy and exempt him from whipping."

"So it's your own intention, brother Yingliang? Forget it, twenty lashes are spared." Sparing the relieved brigade commander, He Lanyi pulled Chen Yingliang up and left, "Brother Yingliang, hurry up."

Go up to the city, you came just in time, Yang Rebellious Bandit’s team is just messing around outside the city, come and help me see what the hell Rebellious Bandit Yang is planning to do.”

He Lanyi dragged him up to the city wall. Many Sui soldiers had already come over to salute Chen Yingliang. Chen Yingliang returned the salutes in a polite manner, but He Lanyi kicked a group of subordinates away unceremoniously and pulled Chen Yingliang away.

When he arrived at the city wall, he pointed to the distance outside the city and said, "Brother Ying Liang, look, the bandit team is over there."

Looking due north in the direction pointed by He Lanyi, Chen Yingliang first saw a rebel team sitting on the ground. The number of troops was about five to six thousand. Their equipment was obviously much better than that of the rebel team that the Baoguo Army had encountered before.

, which is obviously the main force of the rebels.

Behind this team of soldiers, there are groups of chaotic civilian auxiliary soldiers, who are desperately cutting down trees and building equipment. However, the distance is too far, and Chen Yingliang, who does not have a telescope in his hand, cannot see clearly where the rebels are.

What kind of equipment was built, one can only guess that it should be a siege weapon.

Observing the enemy situation in the distance, Chen Yingliang asked He Lanyi casually: "General He, what happened last night? Can you give me a detailed introduction to my little brother?"

"Don't say General, General, just call me Lao He." He Lanyi also deliberately tried to please Chen Yingliang, pretending to be bold and waved his hand, and then said: "That's it, the main force of the rebels returned from Mangshan yesterday.

After Jinyong City, we thought that Yang Ni would have to rest for a day or two before coming back.

Attacking the city, who would have known that only halfway through the early morning watch last night, a group of thieves came to Anximen, beating gongs and drums, shouting that they were going to attack the city, frightening Mr. Yuan to prepare for the battle quickly, but we

After our brothers prepared to defend the city, the rebel team immediately fled."

"Then, we will suffer." He Lanyi sighed and said: "Then every half an hour, a group of thieves would come to the city and startle us, beating gongs and drums and shouting, which shocked us every time.

Ximen's team got up from their beds and put on their armor to prepare for battle, but every time the thieves made a fuss and left, they never started.

Even if an attack on the city disturbed us, we couldn't even sleep well. Originally, I said that we should let the brothers sleep peacefully, but Lord Yuan was afraid that one of the traitors' falsehoods would suddenly turn out to be true, so he forced us to climb up every time.

We were on alert, and we were not allowed to disarm, and we were forced to keep one eye open even when we were asleep, which made the brothers miserable."

"If you don't believe me, look at it." He Lanyi pointed at the dark circles under his eyes and said with a wry smile: "Brother, I probably didn't even get enough sleep for an hour last night. I finally squinted for a while this morning, and the bandit team came again.

Well, the result was like this, the brothers thought I had ink smeared on my face."

"Thank you for your hard work, brother." Chen Yingliang comforted him, and then said with a smile: "But brother, you are not the only one to suffer this. To tell you the truth, I was awakened several times last night by the traitors.

It was so loud that I even heard it in Jiaoyefang."

"General He, the four regiments of our national army took turns sleeping last night." Guo Feng interrupted: "Chen Ci and I took two regiments to sleep until midnight, and Chen Zhihong and Zhao Yu took the other two regiments.

I slept for the rest of the night just in case the rebels suddenly attacked the city, and I was ready to come to Anximen to help you at any time."

"Really? Thank you very much." He Lanyi was overjoyed and said with great affection, cupping his hands: "Thank you so much, brothers. I'll treat you to a drink some other time to say thank you. If the traitor comes to do this again tonight, please continue.

Take turns sleeping and always be ready to help.”

The levels of Guo Feng and Chen Ci were far different from He Lanyi's. Seeing He Lanyi take the initiative to salute and plead, they were flattered and quickly returned the gift to He Lanyi and agreed. Chen Yingliang remained calm and said: "Brother He, it's not if

, I am sure, the rebels have too much manpower, arrange a few

Thousands of people taking turns harassing us is nothing more than a trivial matter to traitor Yang. Last night you got up every time to prepare for battle, which proved that this tactic of exhausting troops is indeed effective. So I can conclude that traitor Yang
Chapter completed!
