The next day, the entire city of Nanzheng was still immersed in the excitement of the festival, and the faint sound of firecrackers filled the city with the atmosphere of life.
After years of chaos, only here can we enjoy a glimmer of peace.
You Shiwei got up early in the morning, washed his face with cold water, and felt energetic.
Hearing the sound of children playing next to his ears, he couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that there has not been such excitement in Yulin for many years."
As he said that, he looked at his younger brother You Shilu who was also washing his face and said, "Today you go to the camp."
"Okay!" You Shilu nodded without hesitation, and then said: "Nanzheng is so prosperous, and the army and the people live in peace, which is very rare in the Ming Dynasty."
"What?" You Shiwei was surprised and chuckled: "Have you thought of taking refuge with Commander-in-Chief Zhu?"
"Hehe!" You Shilu grinned and said, "For the past two months, our salaries and wages have been treated equally without any deductions. None of the brothers want to leave."
"Yes!" You Shiwei wiped his face and said seriously with deep eyes, "There are really not many people in the world who pay their wages on time."
Throwing the towel in the basin, You Shiwei walked steadily towards the General Military Office.
Hanzhong is not big, but the population is very dense. They bumped into each other along the way, and they gave way to You Shiwei who was leading his own soldiers.
There are no generals running wildly, no young masters oppressing good people, and no patients exuding the energy of death.
"It's great that there are no plagues and wars!"
You Shiwei took a deep breath and sped up his pace a lot.
At the General Military Mansion, Zhu Yixi and Prime Minister Hui Deng had another in-depth discussion and exchanged opinions on the marching arrangements in Huguang.
In fact, Yunyang Mansion is only a few hundred miles away from Xiangyang, and there is also the Han River, which is very convenient for the turnover of food and grass.
"What we are most worried about is Feng Xiong in Xiangyang. He has five thousand troops and is surrounded by enemy troops who can be rescued at any time."
"In addition, Lao Hui Hui Ma Shou should defend Jingzhou, which poses the greatest threat."
Prime Minister Huiden was worried and spoke in a semi-text, holding a feather fan in his hand and fanning it from time to time.
Zhu Yixi was quite speechless when he saw it.
"Isn't it freezing?"
"We are Confucian generals, and we must have feather fans and white turbans." Hui Deng said seriously: "My mind works very fast after a few fan blows. No wonder Zhuge Liang likes to use them."
Seeing this, Zhu Yixi didn't ask any more questions, raised her chin and said disdainfully:
"These people are vulnerable!"
Zhu Yixi analyzed carefully: "To put it bluntly, the real elite of the intruders are all in Guanzhong, and the remaining troops are all abandoned and not worth mentioning."
However, facing Lao Huihui Ma Shouying, an old thief second only to Li and Zhang, he still said conservatively:
"We are surrounded by a large army, but I don't believe that we can't kill him. We will surely win the small Jingzhou."
Prime Minister Huiden also expressed his approval.
When Zhu Yixi agreed to provide the necessary food and salary, his face was filled with emotion: "Otherwise we always say that when we go out, only our fellow villagers can be relied upon."
After being moved, Prime Minister Huiden left with satisfaction and prepared to conquer Huguang.
Zhu Yixi smiled.
If you eat my food and wages, you won't be able to help yourself when the time comes.
"Report, sect leader, Commander-in-Chief You wants to see you!"
Thirteen ran in, like a monkey, exuding intelligence.
"Why is it you again? I hired a teacher for you, but you have to study hard."
When Zhu Yixi saw him, she said with a headache: "Let's go, let's go, I don't need you by my side, go and learn more."
"Yes!" Zhu Jing lowered her head and reluctantly agreed. He had a lively temperament, which made studying really uncomfortable for him.
"By the way, let General You come in!"
Zhu Yixi straightened her clothes and said casually.
Soon, You Shiwei saw the well-dressed Commander-in-Chief Xiao Zhu, and hurriedly bowed his hands: "You Shiwei, who is of humble rank, has met Commander-in-Chief."
"Please get up quickly." Zhu Yixi saw this person and noticed that both his words and attitude seemed to have changed a bit.
He knew in his heart that his measures to break up the Yulin Camp had finally changed his heart.
This is a good thing.
When You Shiwei saw his kind appearance, his heart trembled.
I couldn't help but think of Niu Chenghu in Xianren Pass.
I heard that this Lintao general soldier had dozens of holes in his body and no intact corpse was left. He died very suddenly and humiliatingly.
This was a commander-in-chief, a commander-in-chief recognized by the imperial court. He was killed in such a grand manner, and he pretended as if nothing had happened.
He really has a kind face and a cruel heart.
"Commander-in-Chief, I returned from my post and thought about it over and over again. I discussed it with my colleagues and unanimously decided that it would be better to march eastward."
You Shiwei showed a humble smile.
Zhu Yixi took a sip of tea and felt very refreshed when she saw it. It was more enjoyable than drinking iced drinks in the dog days of summer.
Your stubbornness was finally lost in my hands.
"No way." Zhu Yixi looked sincerely and said with a smile: "They are all killing thieves, there is no right or wrong."
"The general has general knowledge and is good at using troops. I admire him very much."
The sedan bearers carried the man and gave him a step to go down.
You Shiwei breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly expressed his feelings: "How can you have any insight in a humble position? You are just a rough man. The general killed Li Guo and injured Ma Ke. It is because we admire you and want to imitate you more."
As he spoke, he clapped his chest and said with enthusiasm: "In the future, you may tell me to go east, but never to the west, up to the Mountain of Swords, and never to the sea of fire."
Zhu Yixi stared at his face and looked at him again and again to see that his sincerity was not fake.
He thought to himself that the current Commander-in-Chief Chen Yongfu was under his command. What did he fear about the former Commander-in-Chief?
In an instant, my confidence doubled.
"The general is so talented, how dare you not use it?"
After a long time, there was no response. You Shiwei lowered his head, feeling impatient and itching all over his body.
My mind went back and forth a thousand times, and I don't know how long it had passed before I suddenly heard a crisp sound in my ears, as sweet as fairy music, and like the breath of sweet rain after a long drought, it was hard to describe.
"Humble duty, humble duty, too much joy!"
You Shiwei raised his head and trembled.
"Hahaha!"
Zhu Yixi patted him on the shoulder and said sincerely: "As long as you work sincerely, I will never treat you badly."
As he spoke, he said softly: "I heard that many people in the Yulin camp know how to ride cavalry? That can't be wasted. I'll send 300 horses over."
You Shiwei's face was overjoyed, and he immediately reacted and said straightly: "There is already a cavalry battalion in the army, and our Yulin battalion does not need horses."
"And I was just about to say that the cavalry battalion is short of soldiers, so why not send some of the best men from my battalion to fill it up?"
"Oh?" Zhu Yixi was surprised.
If you do this, the road will become wider.
Thinking about it, Zhu Yixi also reciprocated: "The cavalry camp has more troops and horses, and it also needs good generals. I heard that your brother You Shilu is an excellent horseman, so please go to the cavalry camp as the deputy commander!"
"I humbly take my position on behalf of my third brother. I would like to thank the commander-in-chief for your kindness."
Now, You Shiwei finally understood the depth of his mind and said happily.
"You and I are indistinguishable from each other."
Zhu Yixi also smiled and said, she couldn't be happier.
He is short of good generals under his command! When the generals of Yulin come, they will come.
…
Jingzhou Prefecture, Jiangling.
Huguang, which is like spring all year round, is not very prosperous, but more withered.
The streets were busy with soldiers and horses, and there were few pedestrians. Most of the shops were closed, and there were no traces of people from the temple fairs in the past.
I saw a general, tall and burly, with a solemn face, galloping on horseback on the street without any scruples, charging wildly and menacingly.
ps: It will be released at midnight on the 1st. Please support me, brothers.
