Chapter 246: Soldiers Should Be Like This
Li Huaiyu looked like an eggplant hit by frost, wilted and listless.
After leaving Qingzhou City, Chen Changan lifted the curtain and asked, "Lord Li, where is your military camp?"
Li Huaiyu didn't dare to look at Chen Changan, and lowered his head to answer: "Reply to the prince consort, we will set up camp ten miles away from Qingzhou."
"You traveled ten miles to play just for beauty?"
"That's great. This round trip will take at least an hour, right?"
Chen Changan smiled coldly, and Li Huaiyu looked as pale as death.
Chen Changan asked again: "Are there any other generals here?"
Li Huaiyu reported truthfully: "Besides me, there are two other generals, Yue Shan from the Shield Army and Liu Baizhong from the Sharp Arrow Battalion."
"According to Lord Xiao's deployment, the three of us will support each other in a V-shaped configuration."
"The total number of people in the three camps is probably around 900, but not over a thousand."
Chen Changan was stunned immediately.
"Impossible!" Old Ma said angrily, "This time, Lord Xiao has assembled at least 50,000 troops. How can a 1,000-man army be supplied?"
"It's true." Li Huaiyu confirmed again.
"Originally, there were tens of thousands of troops gathered, but they waited for a long time without seeing the prince consort. Three days ago, a military order came, ordering the large army to rush to the front line."
"The remaining people are all old, young, sick and disabled. What they are transporting is just a little food and fodder, which is not important to the overall situation."
Chen Changan smiled, with a hint of bitterness in his smile.
He originally thought that Xiao Zhennan would leave him a large number of troops so that he could show off his power. But now he realized that Xiao Zhennan had no intention of letting him go to the battlefield.
If I had known this would happen, why would I have brought the Mang Organization here?
Chen Changan lowered the car curtain and said, "Whatever happens, just follow the troops."
It was already night when we arrived at the military camp.
There were only a few dozen tents here, with the central army tent in the lead. Torches were lit around the tents, and a group of soldiers were drinking happily around the campfire.
From the car, I watched the soldiers twisting their bodies wantonly and singing loudly after getting drunk.
"The jade stove, the icy mat, the mandarin duck brocade, the powder melting and the fragrant sweat flowing down the mountain pillow.
There was the sound of a windlass outside the curtain, and I raised my eyebrows and smiled in surprise.
The willow shade is light and indifferent, and the cicada hairpin falls from the temples.
You must fight for your whole life to make you happy today."
This was an obscene song, but the soldiers around cheered and the atmosphere was quite lively.
Chen Changan found it funny and raised his eyebrows and said, "Master Li, the soldiers in front of your tent are very lively. Did you teach them?"
Li Huaiyu's face turned red and he dared not say a word.
The officers left the tents and went to the brothel, and the soldiers sang some songs there. This was the military camp culture of the Pi Xiu Army.
Chen Changan took a deep breath and said, "Old Ma, can we drink alcohol in the army?"
"No!" Lao Ma answered cheerfully, "Except for special circumstances, there are seven prohibitions and fourteen executions in the army. If you violate one of them, your entire clan will be punished!"
Chen Changan nodded and led his men towards the military camp.
There were four soldiers guarding the gate. They were also drunk and stretched their necks to look inside, obviously wanting to join in the fun with the other soldiers.
There was almost no obstruction and I easily reached the campfire.
Many soldiers were still singing and dancing there. When they saw them coming, they began to sway their steel knives.
"Who are you? How dare you break into the Pixiu Army's camp at night? Brothers, arrest them!"
The general's order was good, but the soldiers were laughing and no one dared to move.
Li Huaiyu hurriedly walked out from behind Lao Ma, his face gloomy: "Asshole!"
"This is our long-awaited Prince Consort Chen. He just arrived at night, why don't you quickly line up your troops to welcome him?"
The soldiers were stunned for a moment, then stood up in a mess and knelt down in front of Chen Changan.
"Meet…meet—the Prince Consort!"
The sound was not uniform but messy, and some people even pulled it out deliberately to make it sound.
Chen Changan did not lose his temper, but sat beside the campfire: "Brothers, I don't want to come either, but I have the emperor's order and I have no choice."
"I heard you guys are singing happily, do you want to compete with me?"
When the soldiers saw the smile on Chen Changan's face, they all relaxed immediately.
Would the emperor let his son-in-law fight on the battlefield?
If something happens to the prince consort, won’t the princess become a widow?
He is here just to gild himself!
The soldiers were eager to try, but Chen Changan waved his hand and said, "It would be boring to sing a song without adding some excitement."
"Well, everyone in front of the Pixiu army tent will be counted as one, and we will compete in singing. If I don't sing well, I will reward you with a lump sum of 100,000 taels of silver."
"If you don't sing well, I'll punish you with a hundred strokes of the cane. How about that?"
The soldiers were all stunned. What did this mean?
Is this to punish them?
Although one hundred thousand taels of silver was a lot, the soldiers were still hesitant. How could they judge whether this thing was good or not?
"Why, didn't you sing very well just now?"
Chen Changan shook his head and chuckled: "Are you worried that I don't have money? Go back to Baidi and ask around. Chen Changan's businesses are spread all over the world, and *** can be my witness!"
"Besides, you are thick-skinned and tough, so what does a hundred strokes of the cane mean?"
Many soldiers were breathing rapidly, looking at each other.
There are so many people here, the prince consort cannot lie. If you really beat him, you will get 100,000 silvers!
With money, who would still put their head on the belt?
Stimulated by this mentality, several people stood up and spoke loudly.
"When Biyu lost her virginity, her lover was overwhelmed with love. She was not ashamed of him and turned around to embrace him."
"I open the window to the autumn moon, extinguish the candle and unbutton my skirt. I smile behind the curtains, and my whole body smells like orchids and irises."
"The tender buds in the flower house are infinitely beautiful, and the spring breeze is as beautiful as spring..."
Chen Changan just nodded repeatedly, and lyrics and music of "Linjiangxian", "Huanxisha" and so on came one after another.
Old Ma gritted his teeth when he heard this, and Zhou Qiankun kept shaking his head.
After everyone finished singing, they waited for Chen Changan's comments.
Chen Changan clapped his hands and laughed: "Good, good, you all sang very well. I am itching to sing a song for you too."
The soldiers laughed loudly, they didn't believe that the prince consort could sing anything beautiful!
As long as you say that he sings badly, won’t you get the money?
Chen Changan cleared his throat, his face facing the night sky, and his slightly immature but hard-working voice rolled in.
"Wolf smoke rises, the mountains and rivers look north, the dragon flag rolls, the horses neigh, the sword energy is like frost,
My heart is like the vast Yellow River. Who can resist me in the past twenty years?..."
The singing is vigorous and powerful, like surging waves hitting people's eardrums.
Every soldier was slightly stunned.
The following scene appeared before their eyes.
Flags are flying, war horses are neighing, soldiers are wearing armor and holding weapons, their eyes revealing firm belief.
For the safety of the country and the dignity of the nation, they were willing to sacrifice their lives and shed their blood, and wrote a magnificent heroic hymn with their lives.
“The horses go south and the people look north, the people look north, the grass is green and yellow, the dust is flying;
I wish to defend my territory and expand my borders. The great Chu State wants to let the four directions——
Come, congratulations——"
Chen Changan's high note broke, and the entire military camp fell silent.
It seems as if you are feeling the magnificent history following Chen Changan’s singing. It is a spirit of loyalty, bravery, perseverance and indomitable spirit!
At the same time, these soldiers also figured it out...
Chen Changan was not singing, but using his singing to tell them that this is how a soldier should be!
Defend your country, and die on the battlefield.
Can obscene lyrics and songs scare the enemy?
