"Cousin, the news I sent out is that when passing through Jiangzhong City in Hezhou, bandits blocked the road with the intention of killing me and robbing the army's pay and food. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of the east-west road, we bravely killed the bandits, but
Unfortunately, several generals were sacrificed. They will be reported to the court after returning to Beijing, and Mr. Li Chong of Jiangzhong City will be the witness."
"But, what does this have to do with you letting them be tied up outside the city?"
"No matter why? People died before the battle even started. This is something that loses the hearts and trust of the people. They did this to once again express their determination to the people of Qingzhou. We, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, are willing to shed our heads and blood and use our own
I will save my life to defend my dignity and my people! How can I go unpunished for being frightened this time? This is to comfort the people and don’t listen to the rumors. As for whether it can be undone, that’s it. Let’s leave it to fate.”
"You are always full of ideas. When people come, prepare food and wine. Wait for them to come back, and eat and drink with them. Although we will fight side by side in the future, you must also treat them well today."
"Yes, General."
"By the way, I would like to tell them that the sun has not set yet and it is still early to eat. Please stay for another half hour to fully experience the scenery of Qingzhou and the vast grassland. I have something to say during dinner later."
"yes."
I had just chatted with Qin Wuliang when two old acquaintances walked in.
"Your Highness, long time no see, you still look like you!"
Feng Yu looked up and grinned. If they were real old people of the Xia family, apart from Xia Hai's group, these two would be the closest to them.
"Lao Cheng, Lao Li, no, no, no, you still have to understand etiquette. Uncle Cheng, Uncle Li, long time no see."
Cheng Yi and Li Bian walked in with a smile, "Your Highness, why have you become so out of touch after not seeing each other for a few days?"
"Oh, there's nothing I can do. I met my biological father once, and with his temperament and temper, I guess he could hang me up and beat me if I tried to have a random relationship."
Cheng Yi sat next to Feng Yu, "Your Highness, we have heard about the matter between you and the lord. Those guys finally showed up. This time, the Xia family will never let it go!"
"Uncle Cheng, don't be angry. Anger hurts the liver. Since everything has begun to surface, there will naturally be results. If we praise others too highly, then what faith do we have?"
"It seems that His Highness is ready to come."
Feng Yu shook his head, "The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. It's Hai who says they are ready, but they are afraid of us along the way. They have been looking for trouble and assassinating us again and again. I think it is understandable."
Because they are afraid, this is a very powerful help to us. Because they are afraid, it means they are not strong enough!"
Several people were stunned. The current situation is that the Western Jin army is about to press the border. It is obviously a tense situation, but it is said that the enemy is afraid of us. It is really ingenious.
"You, you are very strong, really, really strong." Qin Wuliang didn't know what to say and could only give a thumbs up.
"Uncle Cheng, Uncle Li, you have been here for so long, do you know anything about Qingzhou?"
"Not much new knowledge. This Qingzhou is still the same Qingzhou as before. It is more popular. The two of us directly entered the Tianqiong Pass to inquire about the Beifu soldiers."
"Beifu Bingjia, how many members of the Xia family are in power now?"
"This,~" Cheng Yi and Li Bi'an looked at Qin Wuliang with some embarrassment. Qin Wuliang turned away, "Just pretend that I don't exist. Both the emperor's uncle and grandpa know the strength of Qingzhou's military force. There is nothing to hide or say. "
Feng Yu looked at him with a smile, "Okay, no need to explain, I probably know what the situation is. What are the deployment and arrangements of the four Qinglong, White Tiger, Suzaku, and Xuanwu?"
"Qinglong is mainly in charge of General Wang Xiu. It has strong strength and rich military types. It is the most amazing team. White Tiger is the main battler and the main killer. It is a good attacker. In a confrontation between the two sides, it may be stronger than Qinglong. Suzaku is responsible for intelligence and raids, and the chess pieces outside the customs are basically directly under Suzaku. Xuanwu is a heavily armored unit, known as the cold-faced Iron King Kong. The armor is specially made, invulnerable, and can provide a strong cover for attacking fortresses. "
"With a clear division of labor and courage and strategy, it's no wonder that Beifu Bingjia became the elite force of the Tang Dynasty."
Qin Wuliang saw that it was over, but also interjected, "There is also the most mysterious Qilin. It seems that there are not many people, but I have never seen it. Even my father and grandfather have never met each other. You have to find it yourself. .”
Feng Yu looked at Cheng Yi and Li Bi'an, who were also slightly embarrassed, "Indeed, this Qilin was originally thought to be built by Master Wang Xiu, but after coming here for so long, I found out that he was secretly established by the Lord and was never heard from again. , whose traces are unknown.”
The young prince was delighted by what he said. He stretched out and stood up, "Hahaha, this dad is really capable of causing trouble. He was like that back then and he still kept a close eye on it. I wonder if it's just for now. Is this situation still to be wary of the imperial court? Uncle Cheng, there is no need to look for him. Since he can’t be found, he doesn’t want us to find him. Even if he stands in front of me, he will not give in to me. If you are disobedient, just look for him. It’s a waste of time and experience, just let it be.”
"All right."
"Okay, let's go eat. In order to wait for you, I didn't even have enough lunch. I was so hungry. You guys ran so far, aren't you hungry at all?"
"Okay, okay, then let's go have dinner and call them back."
The dinner at this handsome manor was nothing special, and there were no delicious dishes. Most of them were ordinary home-cooked dishes.
"This is not a city, and there aren't that many good things in the pass. Just make do with it. It will be like this from now on."
"Cousin, I'm afraid you've forgotten how I came here before. Can such a small thing be considered trouble? It's not a big deal at all. Don't even think about it. Now that you've come to the border, You should be mentally prepared like this.”
A middle-aged man with a mustache and two blue hooks on his armor said, "Your Highness, if there is still a chance for young people, we are old comrades who have traveled all over the country. I grew up in Hu Weiyong's military camp, so don't worry about it. alright."
Shi Yufeng was a little unhappy, "Comrade Lao Hu, you are a senior, but don't look down on us juniors casually. Why, we are from a few martial arts schools. This kind of hardship is not a hardship at all, okay? I will definitely do it in the future." Prove it to you!"
Hu Weiyong laughed, squinting his eyes, and he looked like a person with a rather impatient temper, "Hey, hey, my old Hu didn't say that, it's better to be young than to be good. The future belongs to young people, and I have never seen it. Come on you young people."
Feng Yu kept smiling all the time, and his harmonious expression shortened the distance between him and everyone, "This is our first meal. There are still people there. Can you put your energy somewhere else? You are always worried about what to eat.
I mean, I have an idea here, generals, do you want to give us a way to discuss it?"
"Your Highness, just say so. We are convinced by you."
"It doesn't matter whether I accept it or not. It's my first time coming to Qingzhou to lead the army, so I don't know much about it, so I think, everyone, how about you all go down to the bottom to exercise from tomorrow on?"
Everyone paused, and the wine glasses and rice bowls in their hands also stopped. Shi Yufeng was the one who was the least afraid of trouble and was forced by connections, "No, Your Highness, you are sending all of us from the capital."
Are you going down?"
"Yes, do you have any thoughts on the army supervisor, commander, military advisor, etc.? This is just a preliminary idea. Everyone can speak freely."
"Well, Your Highness, may I ask why? If it is a new arrival, then it can be a different path. There are many examples of generals being transferred from far away, and the joint army is also very effective. Isn't it a little bit to be directly downgraded to such a low position?
Too much?"
"Yes, Your Highness, so many people have been demoted several levels in a row. People outside will think that we have done something wrong, and the impact will not be good if word spreads."
"The impact is not good? How about the impact of losing several generals in a row before? They died before they left the army. You guys really made it happen for me. How can you convince the public with such ability! Beifu soldiers are elite soldiers.
If you only have this ability, why would you hand over the position of leading the troops to outsiders? Or do you think you are more capable than the soldiers in the field?"
Everyone was silent. The loss was a fact. If there was a real comparison, it might not be possible to compare. The Crazy Sword King Xiu was on the list, not to mention there were many hidden military masters and martial arts masters who could come.
Here, as long as you come back alive, you will be gold-plated, and it will be thick. Who is willing to let go of such a good opportunity?
"With this king, there is only one unchanging iron rule, and those who are capable will follow it! Whoever has this strength can move up. Now that the war is coming, a group of new people, including this king, even if those generals sacrifice their lives for the country
, but it also shows that we are not strong enough. We have been aggressively seizing power since we arrived. Why! Whoever can prove it to this king will be able to take over!"
Others were a little excited when they heard King Huai's words. Even in the face of death, outsiders will never be as good as our own people. This is a common mentality, and the army is no exception.
This time, Feng Yu not only kept Qin Wuliang from falling, but also gave them confidence. If there are Xia family members present among them, then they can understand the deep meaning of this statement. People from the imperial court, besides themselves,
The problem has been solved, and there is no shortage of people with empty positions. Feng Yu does not need such people. If one of his own people can hold real power, that is the most important thing.
Cheng Yi looked at Feng Yu's performance at this moment and nodded happily, stroking his beard and said, "You are really courageous. He is so similar to my lord. Your Highness's move ignited the hearts of the soldiers, and it will also bring about the scandal of losing soldiers and generals."
The negative impact will be minimized, and the status and overall strength of Beifu Bingjia will be even higher in the future."
"Lao Cheng, but don't forget, in this way, if there is a strange person, then this power may not be concentrated in the hands of His Highness."
"That's wrong. It's just that it's not in Xia's hands, but it's still in the hands of His Highness."
