Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 853: What I seek is not an official position, but a promotion

No matter what Chen Wu was thinking, since he knew that Chen Zhi was coming, he immediately put away all his thoughts and turned around to give Li Tou a look, who immediately understood.

After watching Ran Zhan leave, Chen Wu returned to the previous place, got together with several fellow sufferers, and started discussing together.

After discussing for a while, Li Tou asked directly: "That Governor Chen has appeared now. I feel that it is a little too fast, but it is also a good thing. How can we show our ability in front of him and make him look at him differently? Should we do it?" Are you exaggerating your previous achievements to make them look more powerful?"

But Chen Wu shook his head and said: "There is no need to exaggerate, let alone exaggerate. Whatever should be done, just do it. These people are different from the generals who led us to attack. They are not something we can fool, and there is no need to fool them. If you try to exaggerate, you may be self-defeating in the end.”

The general he mentioned was not the general of the Youzhou Army, but the leader of the refugee army who originally led them to fight.

It's strange to say that these are supposed to be refugees raising an army. Most of the people gathered in the team are poor people who can't survive, landless farmers, and even a lot of rangers and bandits. But those who can get along with the generals and lead an army are Most of them are from aristocratic families.

Just like Wang Mi, who had confronted Chen Zhi before, he was a general who had a great influence in the refugee army in the north. But this man actually came from a noble family. He was not only skilled in military affairs, but also well versed in the art of war.

But this is actually normal. If you want to lead the refugee army, you will inevitably have to confront the imperial officers and soldiers. Those ordinary refugee generals have no know-how or concepts in fighting. In the end, they were defeated and dispersed, and they declined. Those who are willing to follow, and those who are left, have some skills, and these skills are difficult for ordinary people to learn, so in the end, most of the larger members of the homeless army fell into the hands of people who were descendants of aristocratic families.

"That's right," Li Tou nodded, indicating that he understood, and then rolled his eyes, "Then how can we get a high official?"

"You are not allowed to think like this," Chen Wu said sternly: "We are going through life and death this time, and I will keep the brothers we have lost in my heart, and I will repay you in the future. But this matter is just a petition. To put it bluntly, it is not Daijun Chen What the prefect asked us to do, we can't use it to seek retribution, it will only make the prefect feel disgusted."

Li Tou and a few others suddenly showed a look of dissatisfaction, and couldn't help complaining: "Then we have gone through such a dangerous journey and killed so many brothers, can't we get an official position in exchange for it?"

"You can't say that," Chen Wu laughed, "Rather than directly offering an official position, I hope to leave an impression on Governor Chen's heart. At least this goal can be achieved, not to mention, if I directly ask for it, I think the prefect would not refuse the official position, but in this case, it is equivalent to a deal. We pay with our lives, and the remaining people get the benefits of the official position. Once they come and go, in the eyes of Chen Taishou, everything is settled. From now on We will definitely not be favored by him, and he may not give us another chance to make meritorious deeds. Therefore, this matter must not be handled in this way. In addition, if this prefect appears here at this time, if my expectations are correct, I am afraid that he will be here now. There is a chance for us to make a contribution!"

"What opportunity?" Li Tou looked puzzled. Just as he was about to ask, someone came over to inform them that Chen Zhi wanted to meet several people.

"Here we come," Chen Wu immediately winked at Li Tou and others. They all understood and kept silent, and then followed the messenger one by one.

As they walked, several people were thinking about how majestic and powerful the person they were going to see would be. They had been recruited by Wang Jun before, but in fact they had never seen Wang Jun himself. At most, they had seen a few of his generals. Wang Chang, Ruan Bao and others all saw it from a distance and were deeply impressed.In their memories, when these few people showed up, even if they were not cheering in front of them, they were supported by many personal soldiers. In terms of posture, they were infinitely higher than the Xianbei generals, which set off their majesty.

When they think about it, Wang Jun is everyone's immediate boss, and it must be even more so. If Chen Zhi and Wang Jun are not falling behind in a confrontation, he is a person of the same level. At least he will not fall behind in terms of momentum. At least he must be Wang Chang. , Ruan Bao is at this level.

Therefore, when they saw Chen Zhi, who was sitting casually on a chair with a few soldiers beside him and seemed quite easy-going, Chen Wu and others couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but Chen Wu reacted quickly and immediately He took the lead and led everyone to salute Chen Zhi solemnly.

When they were saluting, Chen Zhi observed a few people, his eyes wandered, and he paused for a long time on Chen Wu and Li Tou. Especially Chen Wu, who caused bursts of shadows to appear in his field of vision. You know this Chen Wu is also a person who left his name in history and had extraordinary luck.

But at the moment, he was quite calm and would not rush to explore the other party's luck because of this sign. Mainly because the other party took the initiative to invest this time and did a lot of work for it. Of course, he must control the rhythm and framework first so that he can control this person later.

"I heard that you were soldiers under Wang Jun's command, but you took the initiative to destroy his single-shot cannon, disrupted his formation, and even attacked the general. You helped Ran Zhan win this battle. It can be said that you have contributed a lot. It’s not small, but I don’t know why?”

Listening to Chen Zhi's inquiry, Chen Wu felt a sudden thought, knowing that the critical moment had arrived. If the answer was not good, it might be self-defeating and leave a bad impression on Chen Zhi.

You must know that although Chen Zhi and Wang Jun are hostile, the soldiers and horses led by Duan Pixi are also enemies and are here to kill and injure the children of Daijun. But think about it from another perspective. As a subordinate, Chen Wu, if he sees that the enemy is strong, the situation is unfavorable. , he decisively betrayed him, even started to stir up trouble inside, and tricked his old master to death. If someone else recruits him, he would not feel at ease.

Fortunately, Chen Wu had just prepared a draft in his mind. At this time, he got straight to the point and said: "To be honest, we are not actually direct descendants of Wang Jun's subordinates, nor are we even direct descendants of his Duan Pixi. We are from the refugee army. , followed the crowd and defected to Wang Jun. We were a little dissatisfied because we were not the Ming Lords chosen by ourselves. In addition, although Wang Jun had a great reputation, he was not familiar with the Hu people. He was not the king of the mansion. , after the Hu people were defeated, they were recruited into servants, but they took the initiative to marry and became almost one with the Hu people, which makes us even more dissatisfied!"

These words come straight to the point. First, let’s talk about the original boss. Although he was my boss, he was not the boss I chose on my own initiative. Furthermore, I said that this boss’s moral character was corrupt. Chen Zhi was faintly mentioned as a comparison to pave the way for the next topic.

Chen Zhi couldn't help feeling somewhat interested.
