Duan Peng received the order and then ordered the Embroidered Guards Battalion to gather and head to the Left Guards Guard Army's headquarters.
For nearly half a year, the Embroidered Guard Battalion was neat and disciplined. Duan Peng had just given the order, and in less than five minutes, they had all gathered.
"The military order has arrived!" Duan Peng rode on his horse and said to the Embroidered Guard Camp general in front of him with a serious expression,""All of you have been training hard for half a year. Today is the day for you to serve the country. I hope all of you will perform well and not disappoint me!”
"As ordered!" The general of the Embroidered Guards Battalion replied with an imposing manner. He was in a very energetic state.
Duan Peng nodded, very satisfied. With a wave of his hand, he gave the order to set off. The Embroidered Guard Camp was divided into six square formations, running forward towards the Left Guard Army's headquarters.
In the headquarters of the Left Guard Army, Cheng Zhijie was about to say something when he heard the sound of neat footsteps. Following the sound, he saw that Duan Peng had arrived with the Embroidered Guards Battalion.
The uniform steps, the sonorous and rhythmic footsteps, the Embroidered Guard Camp was watched by countless people from the moment they entered the Left Guard Army's headquarters.
Not to mention anything else, just this military appearance made the other soldiers feel ashamed of themselves.
"Reporting to Great General, the Embroidered Guard Battalion is reporting!”Duan Peng dismounted from his horse and stepped forward. He cupped his hands and saluted Cheng Zhijie.
"Good!" Cheng Zhijie laughed in satisfaction." Commandant Duan's Brocade Guard Battalion is indeed magnificent. It can be put to great use." Get in line first. I have something to say.”
Duan Peng received the order and led the Embroidered Guards Battalion into formation, waiting for Cheng Zhijie to explain the situation.
"The Ming Cult rebelled in the Northern Province, bewitching the people and causing chaos in the imperial court.”Cheng Zhijie said seriously," Our Left Guards have been ordered to quell the rebellion. Tomorrow, we will set off for Cangzhou at 11:00. The deadline is 15 days. There must be no mistakes." Now you understand!"
"Understood!" The other soldiers of the Left Guard Army all agreed loudly. Only Duan Peng remained silent.
"Commandant Duan, is there anything you don't understand?”Cheng Zhijie thought it was Duan Peng's first time leading an army, so he was nervous. He smiled and said,""If there's anything you don't understand, just say it. If you delay the military's affairs, it's a capital crime. No one can save you.”
"Reporting to Great General, it's too slow." Duan Peng said solemnly," Since the news has already been sent back from Cangzhou, it proves that the chaos in Cangzhou has already been formed. Every day of delay will put the people in danger. Fifteen days is too slow.”
After Duan Peng finished speaking, all the commanders of the Left Guards were stunned. They looked at Duan Peng as if they were looking at an idiot, thinking to themselves that he was indeed a clueless person who had no common sense at all.
Duan Peng, don't spout nonsense if you don't understand!" Cheng Zhijie's face darkened and he said angrily,""When the army sets out, the provisions and weapons have to follow along. All kinds of trivial matters need time to prepare. Cangzhou is a thousand miles away from Guanzhong.”
Of course, Duan Peng understood this and knew that Cheng Zhijie was telling the truth. However, just because the Left Guards couldn't do it didn't mean that the Embroidered Guard Camp couldn't.
"Since that's the case, Duan Peng is willing to be the vanguard and lead the Embroidered Guards Battalion to Cangzhou.”Duan Peng's voice was sonorous and powerful, and everyone's faces had shocked expressions.
Everyone felt that Duan Peng was crazy to say such big words, and was even willing to carry out military law. This was courting death.
"Duan Peng, you have to know that there are no jokes in the army!”Cheng Zhijie scolded with a dark face.
" Of course Duan Peng knows." Duan Peng No. 4 met Cheng Zhijie's eyes and said with a smile that was neither servile nor overbearing,""If Great General doesn't believe me, Duan Peng is willing to make a military pledge!”
Seeing Duan Peng's confident eyes, Cheng Zhijie began to wonder if Duan Peng really had a way to reach Cangzhou in ten days.
Connecting to Duan Peng's way of doing things in the past, even though he was somewhat unconventional and had strange ideas, he was always calm and composed, and wouldn't act on impulse and be overly ambitious.
"Alright, this Great General will order you to be the vanguard and lead the Embroidered Guard Battalion to Cangzhou to quell the rebellion.”?" Duan Peng, this is your first time leading an army," Cheng Zhijie reminded him." Be careful in everything you do. You don't have to make a military pledge." As long as you reach Cangzhou within ten days and stabilize the current situation, you will be the first to suppress the rebellion!”
Duan Peng thanked Cheng Zhijie and led the Embroidered Guard Camp back to the headquarters to prepare to set off. As soon as they left the Left Guard Army camp, Zhangsun Chong, Cheng Chumo, and the other silkpants followed.
"Big brother, didn't you see those country bumpkins from the Left Guards? When they heard you say that we were leaving for Cangzhou in ten days, their expressions of disbelief made me want to slap them.”Cheng Chumo said unhappily. Now they all treated Duan Peng as their big brother. If others were disrespectful to Duan Peng, they couldn't stand it.
"It's normal." "Those people are short-sighted. How can they compare to big brother's ability?" Zhangsun Chong said with a smile. Didn't they not believe it? Let's show them the capabilities of our Left Guards.
Duan Peng smiled and didn't say anything, allowing Zhangsun Chong and Cheng Chumo to flatter him.
When they arrived at the Embroidered Guards Camp, Duan Peng instructed Zhang Qiaoniang to bring people to prepare military grain pills and dried pork.
The military grain pill was a kind of hunger relief pill that could relieve temporary hunger. The Hunger Relieving Pill used soba noodles and Chinese yam as the main ingredients, so it was close to food. It was also known as the Army Grain Pill and could be stored for a long time.
Although the taste was average, it was accompanied by delicious and anti-hunger dried pork. It was a rich meal for the marching generals.
In the evening, Zhang Qiaoniang and her men distributed the military grain pills and dried pork. Each person was given exactly ten days 'worth of rations.
"All troops, move out!" Duan Peng gave the order, then he rode his horse and led the army of the Embroidered Guard Camp to Cang Prefecture.
Zhang Qiaoniang looked at Duan Peng's back that was getting further and further away. She was excited and worried in her heart. It was very complicated. In the end, she could not help but cry.
"I'll wait for you to come back, Big Brother Duan.”Zhang Qiaoniang whispered.
Duan Peng led Jin Yijun to march 220 li a day. This was impossible for a general, but it was different for the Embroidered Guard Camp.
A nutritious meal and a reasonable training plan were not difficult at all for the general of the Embroidered Guards Camp who had to play twice every day for the training of a hundred miles.
On the night of the eighth day, the scouts from the front line reported that they had arrived at Cangzhou.
"We're here, we're finally here." Duan Peng said to himself with hot blood burning,""This father's first battle in the Great Tang is finally coming!”
