The soldiers beside Chu Yi poured tea for Jian Shuo, and Chu Yi smiled at Jian Shuo and said, "Brother Jian is only worried about Yuan Shao, Chun Yuqiong and the others when His Majesty inspects the Eighth School of Xiyuan.
Target us!"
Jian Shuo drank a sip of tea and looked at Chu Yi, who looked calm and showed no worry at all. He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I'm not afraid that Yuan Shao and the others will really plot against him. At that time, you and I will just
I'm afraid that I will lose face, but that's all. I'm afraid that some people in the government will take the opportunity to impeach you and me, and be forced to remove you and me from our positions. If this is the case, wouldn't you and me be the same?
I have lived up to His Majesty's trust..."
Narrowing his eyes, Chu Yi gently put down the tea in his hand, looked up at Jian Shuo and said with a smile, "Then let's take a look and see who will get out of the Eighth School of Xiyuan."
A trace of domineering power disappeared in a flash, and Jian Shuo even felt that he was hallucinating.
Sighing lightly, Jian Shuo said to Chu Yi: "Forget it, things have reached this point. I just hope that the soldiers under my command will be able to live up to their expectations. I will go and beg your Majesty again and at the same time smooth out the relationship.
Try to avoid the worst outcome."
To be honest, Jian Shuo doesn't have much ambition to control the military. He is very clear about his own abilities. He is really not a military leader, so despite his appearance, he is a lieutenant of the Eighth School of Xiyuan.
, in charge of the entire Xiyuan Eight Schools, but Jian Shuo left everything to Chu Yi to take care of.
However, Jian Shuo could be regarded as loyal to the emperor Liu Hong. Since the emperor appointed him to take charge of the Eighth School of Xiyuan, he would naturally not let the emperor down if there was even a slight chance.
Time flies and half a month passes.
The weather was bright and sunny on that day, but there was a solemn atmosphere in the school grounds where No. 8 Xiyuan School was located.
In the early morning, the Emperor Liu Hong, escorted by the Yulin Guards, slowly walked out of the palace in an imperial carriage. Among them, the three ministers, nine ministers, and hundreds of civil and military officials accompanied him, and they were heading towards the Eighth School of Xiyuan.
At this time, on the huge campus of the Eighth School of Xiyuan, several soldiers and horses were lined up neatly, waiting for the arrival of the emperor and the civil and military officials of the DPRK.
On the temporary high platform, Jian Shuo and Chu Yi stood together, while Chunyu Qiong, Xia Mou and others were centered on Yuan Shao. As for Cao Cao, he was playing both sides.
Chu Yi looked at Cao Cao with interest and said with a smile: "Meng De, I heard that Meng De has recently recruited a good general! With this good general, the thousands of men under Meng De's command can be called elites!"
Upon hearing this, Cao Cao quickly shook his head and smiled bitterly: "He is just a younger brother of my family. He is good at military training at most. How can he be worthy of being called a good general of the Chu School?"
Chu Yi chuckled, the Cao family has many talented people, not to mention Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Shang, Xia Houyuan who have the same origin as the Cao family, but also the talented generals produced by the Cao family, such as Cao Chun, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, etc.
, even if we look at many famous generals, that one is one of the few.
But this time, in order to help Cao Cao gain a foothold, the Cao family sent Cao Ren and Cao Hong. These two men were naturally very capable. Once they entered the army, they managed thousands of troops in an orderly manner, showing their talents as famous generals.
Nothing left.
Chu Yi couldn't help but laugh when he saw Cao Cao's nervous look. He could poach others, but the Cao family and the Xiahou family were definitely direct descendants of Cao Cao. To be honest, poaching was really not that easy.
Of course, if Cao Cao is to be subdued, then the Cao family and the Xiahou family can naturally be used by him. However, for a person like Cao Cao, it is not an ordinary difficulty to make him subordinate to others.
Perhaps in the early years, Cao Cao aspired to be a dedicated general who would conquer the West and open up territory for the Han Dynasty. However, after experiencing the Yellow Turban Rebellion, all knowledgeable people in the world could see that the Han Dynasty was about to go down.
Like the setting sun, as the saying goes, Qin lost its deer, and the whole world chased it away.
Even people like Liu Zhang and Liu Biao, who were born in the clan, had ambitions to ask for state pastors and establish themselves on their own, not to mention these powerful figures who came from wealthy families.
While Chu Yi was talking to Cao Cao, a cloud of smoke and dust billowed from the distance. Looking around, he saw a group of Yulin Guards leading the way, with a formidable atmosphere.
Even though it is the last afterglow of the Han Dynasty, the strength of the Han Dynasty can be seen from these Yulin Guards alone. Following the Yulin Guards is the emperor's imperial ban. On the high carriage, Liu Hong's face is rosy and he looks like
Just like a person with nothing to do, Zhang Rang was on the left and right, and Zhao Zhong and several regular attendants were accompanying him.
Immediately afterwards came a large number of people responding to hundreds of officials, with the entire team numbering nearly a thousand people.
When Jian Shuo and others saw the emperor's imperial chariot coming in person, they immediately stepped down from the high platform. Then, led by Jian Shuo, a school captain Yi Ying appeared at the entrance of the school grounds.
When the Emperor's banishment stopped, Jian Shuo, Chu Yi, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and others all bowed to the Emperor.
With the support of Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, Liu Hong walked up and down the imperial banquet. His eyes swept over Jian Shuo and others, and he waved his hands slightly and said: "You nobles, there is no need to be polite, please get up without courtesy."
Jian Shuo and others stood up, and saw General He Jin, who was dressed in gorgeous uniforms, walking forward. He squinted and looked at the soldiers of the Eighth School of Xiyuan around him, and said with an expression of appreciation: "They all say Jian
The captain is very good at running the army, and now that I see him, he is indeed well-deserved."
As he spoke, He Jin stroked his beard and said to Liu Hong: "Your Majesty, it seems that this time I have one more elite man!"
His face turned slightly cold. The five schools of the Northern Army had fallen into the control of He Jin. In order to avoid something unspeakable, Liu Hong had to set up the eight schools of Xiyuan. Now it was clear that He Jin was targeting Jian Shuo and Chu.
Yi and two people came to try to control the Eighth School of Xiyuan. How could this not make Liu Hong feel a little angry in his heart.
It's just that even if he is the emperor, he cannot always keep his word. On many matters, he has to take into account the opinions of the civil and military officials of the court. Otherwise, he would not be able to arrange Cao Cao and Yuan Shao into the Western Garden.
It was nothing more than a compromise between the emperor and the ministers of the DPRK.
Why didn't Jian Shuo understand that He Jin's words were obviously aimed at him? He held him up high at the moment, and he didn't know how to add insult to injury later.
With a slight snort, Jian Shuo stared at He Jin with anger in his eyes. According to his position, Jian Shuo even had certain jurisdiction over He Jin, but it was a pity that it was just a thought.
He Jin is now so powerful that even Liu Hong, who is regarded as the emperor, has to think twice when facing He Jin.
At this moment, Zhang Rang saw that something was wrong in the atmosphere. He stepped forward, coughed lightly, and said to Jian Shuo: "Captain Jian, His Majesty has arrived at the Eighth School of Xiyuan. Are you planning to let His Majesty stand here?"
"
After reacting, Jian Shuo and others first apologized to the emperor, and then respectfully invited Liu Hong and others to enter the school grounds and go straight to the high platform.
Seats have been prepared on the high platform, which are enough for the three ministers and the nine ministers to sit down and watch the drill of the Eight Schools of Xiyuan.
As the military commander in charge of the entire Xiyuan Eight Schools, Jian Shuo naturally had to stay by the Emperor's side and introduce the situation of each of the Xiyuan Eight Schools to the Emperor.
Liu Hong, who was seated, glanced at the spacious school ground below, nodded slightly and said to Jian Shuo: "Jian Shuo, let's start!"
Upon hearing this, Jian Shuo took a deep breath and said sharply: "Your Majesty has a decree, the military exercise begins!"
As Jian Shuo finished speaking, he saw a team of a thousand people slowly walking into the school grounds. It was the school with a thousand people under the command of the school captain Xia Mou.
The more than a thousand people under Xia Mou's command have quite a bit of momentum when walking around. Although anyone with an eye can see that these more than a thousand people have not experienced killing yet and lack a bit of killing spirit. Although they are not elite, they are short-term.
It is quite difficult to train a team of people to such an extent in a short period of time.
Naturally, the important civil and military ministers on the high platform could clearly see the energy and mental state of this thousand-person team in the school field. Although there was still a considerable gap between the five schools of the Northern Army, it must be said that at least this
A team can barely be considered an army, right?
Next came Chun Yuqiong and several captains. It seemed to set off the eliteness of Yuan Shao's troops. One army was more elite than the other.
Especially when a team of more than 2,000 soldiers and horses walked into the school grounds with neat steps, many important ministers couldn't help but their eyes lit up when they saw this situation. For example, Yuan Huai's face was full of smiles at this moment,
He stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction, obviously he couldn't be more satisfied that Yuan Shao was able to train such a force.
Sitting next to the emperor, the tall and round He Jin just took one look at it and couldn't help but praise: "What an elite army. Just look at this and the momentum, I am afraid that with a little training on the battlefield, it will be a strong one."
A powerful team from the fifth school of the Northern Army."
Ordinarily, as the emperor, the more elite troops and horses under his command, the better. However, when he saw the elite troops and horses led by Yuan Shao, a hint of fear flashed in Liu Hong's eyes.
Yuan Shao was born in a wealthy family, so the soldiers and horses in Yuan Shao's hands were obviously naturally biased towards wealthy families. In the eyes of the soldiers, the prestige of his emperor might not be as high as that of Yuan Shao, who personally commanded them.
No matter how powerful the army is, if he cannot control it, it is not as good as a ragtag army that can make Liu Hong feel at ease.
At this moment, another team came out. This team came out behind Yuan Shao's team. As soon as they entered the school grounds, a chilling air rushed towards them, giving people the feeling of facing elite soldiers on the battlefield.
feeling.
All the civil and military personnel present, regardless of their level of cultivation, were all practitioners, and their sense of aura could not be more acute. But in front of them, almost most of the team that followed Yuan Shao's troops on the scene exuded a sense of evil aura.
, such evil spirit can only be condensed after a hundred battles on the battlefield.
"Hiss...this...how is this possible..."
"This is not a new army at all. What is going on..."
He Jin's expression immediately turned gloomy. He immediately saw the figure walking at the forefront of the team. He did not enter the Eighth School of Xiyuan with Jian Shuo and control the entire Eighth School of Xiyuan on behalf of the emperor.
Who is Chu Yi?
The news they got not long ago was that Chu Yi and Jian Shuo didn't even have enough men under their command. Jian Shuo even made arrangements to hire some refugees to make up the number.
With the foundation accumulated by these aristocratic families who have been rooted in this land for hundreds of years, even Jian Shuo's movements were very small, but they were clearly seen by everyone, and some people were even ready to see Jian Shuo's jokes.
.
The result was not bad. As soon as Chu Yi appeared on the stage, he led such an elite force straight into the school grounds. Not to mention other things, just the actual chilling aura shocked the entire audience.
If they had seen the situation of Yuan Shao's troops before, everyone secretly praised that Yuan Shao was truly worthy of being born in the Yuan family of the Fourth Generation and Three Dukes, with a profound background. But as for Chu Yi, how should he explain how these elite troops were trained?
?
They found out Chu Yi's background clearly, but he came from a poor family. It was a miracle that he could read. As for mastering the method of military training, few people would believe him even if he told him.
Regardless of the weird expressions on the faces of all the civil and military officials who were shocked by Chu Yi's appearance, Liu Hong couldn't help but smile when he saw the group of people led by Chu Yi.
He glanced at Jian Shuo, who was quite confused, and seemed to be secretly blaming Jian Shuo for keeping the secret in front of him, and even ran to the palace not long ago to beg him, the emperor, to forgive him and Chu Yi.
Liu Hong whispered to Jian Shuo: "Jian Shuo, is this what you mean by poor training and difficulty in meeting people?"
Although Jian Shuo visited the Eighth School of Xiyuan several times, he actually didn't know much about the Eighth School of Xiyuan. Even when Chu Yi trained soldiers and horses, Jian Shuo only went to watch once or twice.
Of course, nothing can be seen.
Jian Shuo, who came back to his senses, suddenly felt confident. He bowed respectfully to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, these soldiers and horses were all trained by Chu Yi. In my opinion, these soldiers and horses are indeed a little inferior."
, I and Chu Yi always keep your majesty’s instructions in mind, lest they fail your majesty’s trust.”
Hearing what Jian Shuo said, Liu Hong was greatly moved. He nodded towards Jian Shuo and praised repeatedly: "Okay, okay, you and Chu Yi have a good intention."
He Jin looked at Jian Shuo with a gloomy expression and sneered: "According to what I said, these soldiers look impressive, but once they encounter the enemy, they will turn into a mob in an instant..."
It could be seen that He Jin was irritated and did not like to slander such an elite force as a rabble in appearance.
If it was He Jin who said this before, Jian Shuo didn't have enough confidence in his heart, so he naturally didn't dare to refute He Jin, but it was different now. He didn't expect that Chu Yi had such ability and gave him such a big advantage.
What was a surprise was that even he could see that the troops trained by Chu Yi were elite, even better than the five schools of the Northern Army he had seen before.
With a sneer, Jian Shuo stared straight at He Jin and said: "What the general said is too much. Can't the general tell whether he is elite or not? If the general doesn't even have this ability to recognize people, then what?
Jian is really worried about your majesty and my big man."
Being ridiculed by Jian Shuo for not being able to recognize people, He Jin's face darkened, he stared at Jian Shuo and said: "Jian Shuo, since you said that Chu Yi's men are elites, then do you dare to let Chu Yi's subordinates
Yuan Shao's tribe has a competition, which one is stronger and which one is weaker will naturally be determined when the time comes."
Thinking of Yuan Shao's sworn promise to him, He Jin himself was not very clear about the army, so he put his hope of suppressing Jian Shuo and Chu Yi on Yuan Shao.
Jian Shuo's expression changed slightly. Although it seemed that the troops trained by Chu Yi were elite troops, Jian Shuo was also worried about what if, what if, He Jin was right.
There are many examples of gold and jade falling apart on the outside, so facing He Jin's provocation, Jian Shuo hesitated a little.
He Jin noticed the change in Jian Shuo's expression, and was immediately overjoyed. He subconsciously thought that Chu Yi's troops were really just a bunch of people with no appearance, so He Jin's attitude became more and more aggressive, staring at Jian Shuo and squinting.
He closed his eyes and said: "It seems that He really got it right!"
Being stimulated by He Jin, Jian Shuo's head immediately became hot and he said to He Jin: "Bi Jian has confidence in Chu Yi. Yuan Benchu is definitely not Chu Yi's opponent."
He Jin's mouth showed a slight smile, and he said directly to Liu Hong: "Your Majesty, I kindly ask your Majesty to be a witness. Today, He will make a bet with Jian Xiaowei, so as to expose Chu Yi, Jian Shuo and the others for deceiving the emperor."
, an act of deceiving the Holy Spirit."
Jian Shuo raised his hands to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, please distinguish right from wrong and give me justice to Chu Yi."
Liu Hong looked at Jian Shuo and then at the aggressive He Jin. He pondered for a moment and nodded slightly, saying, "In that case, I will bear witness."
