Chapter 678
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
In the early morning of the second day, huge war drums sounded from the top of Shuofeng City, and the soldiers of the large group marched to the outside of the city wall and stood in formation.
The infantry on the left and the cavalry on the right were all wearing black armor and hung with Northern Liang knives. The flags of the Liang army whistled in the wind. Some of them were local recruits from Shuozhou, and most of them were from Liangyou.
A veteran who was transferred here.
All the soldiers looked up high, because today they were going to be inspected by King Liang. Yes, they were the first organized army to be inspected since Chenyue was crowned king.
A snow-white war horse jumped out of the city gate and rode up in front of the army. Chen Yue did not wear the gorgeous Six Python King's robe, but for the first time put on the black battle armor of General Zhenbei.
Chenyue's eyes became solemn, he reined in the saddle and said loudly:
"Soldiers!"
For just a moment, all the soldiers beat their chests with their right hands and shouted angrily:
"Ouch!"
Such a magnificent momentum made the recruits from Shuozhou in the army feel excited. Oh, no, they are no longer recruits, now they are Shuozhou cavalry!
Chenyue rode his horse and shouted in front of the whole army: "Defend the city for a year without losing an inch of ground and block the enemy from the country! I, Chenyue, thank you on behalf of the hundreds of thousands of people behind you! On behalf of Beiliang,
The people of Liaodong and Liaodong thank you!
Maybe some of you are from Liangzhou, Youzhou, or from various Taoist prefectures in the Central Plains and have just arrived in Beiliang. But from the moment you put on this armor and this sword, you are my citizens of Beiliang.
, it’s my Iron-Blooded Liangjun!”
"Ouch! Ouch!"
"We have won this battle. We will face more brutal battles in the future. I believe that no one will be afraid. I just need you to remember one thing. Behind us are millions of people in Beiliang Dao.
There are your parents, wives and children, your brothers and sisters, and thousands of colleagues!
If the city is destroyed, people will perish; if the city is destroyed, the country will be destroyed!
Answer me, can you send one soldier through this Shuofeng City?"
"Can't! Can't! Can't!"
Mei Yushu in the crowd blushed and roared.
"Very good, I can rest assured that you are here! I, Chenyue, can die, but you can die! But Shuofeng City cannot be broken! The food we eat is grown by the people with their faces to the loess and their backs to the sky, and the Liang army is from my border.
Spine!”
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"
Chenyue turned his head and shouted angrily: "Shuozhou Cavalry Colonel Mei Yushu comes out!"
Although Mei Yushu, who was in the front row of the army, had a flash of doubt in his eyes, he still reined in his horse without hesitation and shouted:
"Shuozhou Meiyushu is here!"
The eyes of the entire army fell on the cavalry captain, especially the more than 3,000 Shuozhou local cavalry behind him. They were all those who followed Mei Yushu and fought to the death that day.
"Liangzhou and Youzhou each have old cavalry battalions. One year after the expedition to Liaodong, new battalions were formed! Today, we also have cavalry battalions in Shuozhou to enhance the majesty of our frontier troops and allow us to erect camp flags on the battlefield.
Fight! Call it Shuofeng Camp!
The Shuofeng camp is full of five thousand men, and Shuozhou's elite soldiers are selected to join the camp. Mei Yushu is appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Shuofeng camp!
Outside the walls of this Shuofeng City, I want to hear the hoofs of the Shuozhou cavalry piercing the sky! On the top of this Shuofeng City, I want to see the flag of the frontier army standing tall!"
The veins on Mei Yushu's forehead swelled, and he cupped his fists and shouted:
"Shuozhou Meiyushu, take the order!"
Then Mei Yushu reined up his horse and turned around, pulled out the scimitar from his waist with a "squeak" sound, and roared word by word:
"Shuozhou Iron Cavalry! I am willing to open a formation for Great Liang!"
"rub!"
Thousands of Shuozhou local cavalry soldiers drew their swords and shouted angrily:
“Shuofeng Camp, I’d like to go!”
"rub!"
More than 10,000 soldiers from Liangzhou and Youzhou drew their swords and pointed directly at the sky, and the whole army shouted in unison:
"Fight to the death!"
At this moment, the new recruits from all over the Central Plains were completely integrated into the frontier army. They no longer had any other names, but had the same unified name as the original Northern Liang soldiers:
Liangjun, Great Liang!
Great Liang.
…
In the next few days, Chenyue took a walk around Shuofeng City, inspecting the city defenses, condolences to the injured soldiers, and occasionally helped the people repair their houses, so that he could understand the situation inside and outside Shuofeng City.
.
In the governor's office of Shuozhou, Chenyue, Zhu Tianhe and Yu Yanbai were sitting in a place each, chatting.
"I have roughly finished the defense of Shuofeng City. The most important thing now is to strengthen the city defense and train new soldiers. General Lao Zhu will take care of these things. The construction of the new wall will start after the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Strategy has confirmed it." Chen Yue said softly.
said.
"promise!"
"Is it time for the prince to go to the mainland next? The fertile fields on both sides of the Shuo River should have changed greatly now." Yu Yanbai asked.
"Haha, Governor Yu still understands my thoughts." Chenyue smiled and said, "Wasn't Shuozhou built before just to produce grain? Last year, when the army went to Liaodong, the amount of grain and grass supported by Shuozhou was unbelievable.
My prediction is that this year will be another good year, and I am afraid the grain production will be even greater."
"I can't wait to go and see it. Why don't I accompany the prince this time?" Yu Yanbai's eyes showed a trace of expectation.
"You want to go see it too?" Chenyue was stunned: "You haven't seen it either, right?"
Yu Yanbai smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, to be honest, although you asked me to serve as a farewell driver in Shuozhou, I have been guarding Shuofeng City for more than a year. Most of the government affairs in Shuozhou are handled by teachers.
It’s under management, or the officials will write a document and send it to me, but I don’t have time to go to the mainland to take a look.”
Zhu Tianhe couldn't help but snicker at the side. Who would have thought that the dignified Shuozhou Biejia, acting governor, had not been able to visit his own territory for more than a year.
"I just happened to go out to relax, hehe." Yu Yanbai grinned and said, "This Shuofeng City will be handed over to General Zhu for the time being."
"Hey, hey, Mr. Governor, we don't lead such deceitful people. I only take care of military affairs." Zhu Tianhe rolled his eyes repeatedly.
"Hahaha." Chenyue raised his head and laughed: "Okay, this time I will take Governor Yu out to relax, and let this parent officer get familiar with the current situation in Shuozhou."
Zhu Tianhe spread his hands: "Okay, I, Lao Zhu, should stay alone."
"Hahaha!"
Chenyue and Yu Yanbai both laughed.
"Your Majesty, since you want to understand the people's sentiments, I suggest that you don't wear official uniforms and have followers. Just go with a light carriage and a simple entourage." Yu Yanbai said tentatively.
Chenyue narrowed his eyes, carefully considered Yu Yanbai's suggestion, and then asked: "Can you ride a horse?"
"Hey, Your Majesty, you are looking down on our Governor Yu." Zhu Tianhe said carelessly: "Even though Master Yu is a civil servant, he is weak and weak. Now he can ride back and forth on a big horse from Beiliang."
"Hey, that's good!" Chenyue laughed and gave a thumbs up, and said, "Okay, then it's just the two of us, put on casual clothes and leave tomorrow."
