The matter was settled like that. It was not stated clearly, but basically it was the same: the exercise was over, and all that was left was to use up the time, which was the last waste time of similar competitions.
There is no way. Although it is a bit pretentious, the court must also have some credibility. Since it has been said for three days, it is three days. At this point, everyone here has acquiesced to this.
As for the imperial troops searching the mountain, let them continue to search... It can also be regarded as punishment for the failure of this exercise.
Then, Wen Yanbo started making tea...
Zhao Xi has never tasted the tea soup of this era and really can't stand the taste. It's called tasting tea, but actually... it's just boiled seasoning.
Zhao Xi had been waiting for these two to ask about the guard camp, but...no.
Talking about the west of Jing, talking about the Western Army, talking about the Guangnan Rebellion and the Nong bandits, and even talked about the reasons behind the formation of such a large scale of the Nong bandits. I just didn’t mention the guard camp...
I'm convinced! Zhao Xi doesn't want to and can't talk about this by himself. The prince's premature intervention in politics is on the one hand, but the key point is the argument that the dynasty has not talked about military affairs for twenty years. It is the invitation of these two envoys to Daliao and Daxia.
It was decided by the court.
I drank a lot of salty soup and talked a lot, but nothing serious happened. I just talked about things in a hazy way.
Waiting until the second meal of the day...
"Your Highness, there is still time..."
When Zhao Xilin left, Fu Bi walked outside the camp gate and said this nonsense.
"Your Highness, there is indeed no rush."
Lu Gongzhu also said so.
What do you mean? Can't it be early? What do you mean by not being in a hurry? Even thieves like Nong Zhigao dare to stir up trouble, let alone Liao Daxia...
Dad, you are so lucky to have such virtuous ministers...
Zhao Xi can figure it out.
The Jingxi Road Forbidden Army has all gathered at the top of the mountain. They are all densely packed with Jingxi Road Forbidden Army. They are almost rubbing shoulders, but what kind of guard camp is there?
I sent people to the commander's tent again and again, but Mr. Wen never responded...
Nearly 20,000 people were just wandering along the top of the mountain stupidly, unable to stop. The commander-in-chief did not issue an order to stop the search, which meant that the mission was still there and the previous order had not been issued, so he had to continue executing it.
It lasted until dark... Tonight, the entire Jingxi Road Forbidden Army finally had a peaceful sleep.
If the guard camp was not found at the top of the mountain, we knew the result. By this time, the guard camp had already returned to Bianliang, and the Forbidden Army also lost the exercise.
It was better to just do it anyway, I was as tired as a dog, and the sentry didn't even arrange it, so I just fell asleep.
Wen Yanbo ignored this group of rubbish and kept rehearsing the process of this exercise... Alas! I have nothing to say, I can only blame myself for being wrong.
After receiving the imperial edict, Di Qing ordered his deputy general Yang Wenguang to organize his troops, and he rushed to the capital with a few followers.
Before setting off for an expedition, it is customary for the court to make arrangements.
Although Di Qing was quite critical of such practices, the current situation was such that he had no choice but to obey.
If you don’t mention his birth, just say that he is a military commander, then he has to fight according to the strategy set by the court...
It's very helpless, but that's it.
Halfway through the journey, Di Qing had already heard that His Highness the Crown Prince wanted to go on a personal expedition... What's this going on?
It is still acceptable to have a civil servant tell you what to do, after all, the country has always been like this. If you are lucky enough to meet a civil servant who is negotiable and knows military affairs, you can easily destroy the peasant bandits.
Let His Highness the Crown Prince accompany you... That is a body of ten thousand gold! The situation on the battlefield is changing, and no one can predict what will happen... Should the safety of the Crown Prince be the most important thing or the elimination of the traitors?
There is no doubt that the safety of His Royal Highness is the most important thing. However, this will inevitably affect the war strategy and even delay the march, thus missing the opportunity to fight.
Alas! Wasn’t Mr. Wen also knowledgeable about military matters? Mr. Pang was even more grateful to me and knew how to use troops. Why would the court allow such a thing?
It also depends on the outcome of the exercise...
Regarding the East Palace Guard Camp, Di Qing also knew that the Zhong family and the Zhe family sent their sons and nephews to participate in the election, which was originally prepared for future favor. Therefore, Di Qing was not optimistic about the so-called exercise joke... and he understood the purpose of the court...
Let His Highness the Prince understand what a battlefield is and let him retreat when faced with difficulties.
Three days of exercise... Di Qing learned about the time of the exercise at the inn, and hurried to the capital.
He hoped that on the day he arrived in the capital, he could be awarded the seal and go on an expedition. At that time, the exercise had already produced results. Even the court could dispatch civil servants or internal servants to supervise the army in time.
Thirty miles away, it was already Unitary hour, so Di Qing took a rest and recuperated his energy, waiting to meet His Majesty with full energy tomorrow.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is like a god with his troops. If you don't listen to me, if you lose, you will lose..."
"Liu Yi, to put it lightly, that's twenty-five thousand to two thousand. Who would have thought that the Jingxi Road Forbidden Army would be so unbearable, even this Mr. Wen..."
Suddenly I felt that it was a bit rash, so I stopped talking. It would be okay to scold the Imperial Guards no matter how much you scold them, but scolding your husband... he was a civil servant, so he had to be careful not to be reprimanded.
This is an inn, and the top officials are all court officials. Don't stir up trouble because of one or two disrespectful words. Although it does not violate criminal laws, there is no need to quarrel.
"This young gentleman, what you are talking about is about the drill between the East Palace guards and the Jingxi Road Forbidden Army?"
Di Qing saw that the young man who was speaking was young and was not wearing official uniform, but was dressed in casual clothes. He thought about the title for a long time and listened for a while before he opened his mouth to ask.
Huh? Warrior?
It's not a battlefield. Di Qing is not wearing armor... and it is impossible to wear armor. But in terms of attire, it is obvious at a glance that he is a military commander.
What's more, his indelible features are quite conspicuous...
This young man was indeed in the mood to talk, but he stopped abruptly because it involved Wen Xianggong.
Now when I see someone asking about it, I still don’t know anything, and I feel excited instantly.
The key is that the opponent is a warrior, so there is no taboo.
"Well, it's a long story..."
"Commander, please report in detail..."
Hey... you Yi Cheng, what's the matter with you? Huh? Commander...
"...Xiangong Wen gathered the Imperial Guards on the West Jing Road in Xingyang and did not leave any camp at the East Palace to protect him. His Royal Highness then marched through the night and arrived at Wanyin Mountain that night..."
"...After killing 10% of the people at night, His Royal Highness led the escort battalion to sneak down the mountain again, assembled outside Xingyang City, and stayed overnight in the Forbidden Army camp..."
…
This narration, one narration and one supplement, describes the Wanyinshan exercise so vividly that it really feels like being there.
Others listened to it as a story, but what Di Qing heard was the use of troops by His Royal Highness throughout the exercise and the military quality of the entire guard camp.
Running for two hundred miles in a row? That's an exaggeration. However, later on, he was hiding day and night, and almost entered Wanyin Mountain... Even he, Di Qing, didn't dare to say that he could use this tactical arrangement in such a wild and unconstrained manner.
Does His Royal Highness really know the military affairs? Or is there someone else cooperating with him?
Written by Lu Gong, Su Song, and Han Zhen, if you haven’t heard of the man who was famous for his military exploits, could it be possible that the result is really His Highness the Crown Prince?
Di Qing was confused. Based on Wan Yinshan's actions, even if he personally commanded the Jingxi Road Forbidden Army, he would not dare to say that he would win this exercise.
