Chapter 401: Handicap
The battle between the generals is not like the infighting between the ministers, even if they hate each other to death, they are polite when they meet. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The men in the army are all hot-blooded men, and Wu Sheng has no intention of keeping it secret.
As a few fast horses set off from the Beiya army and went back and forth to the Gyeonggi camp, the news of the two armies' military exercises spread like a whirlwind throughout Luoyang City.
The people of the capital are not as well-informed as other places. There are really a lot of dignitaries and nobles in the capital, and if you have the heart, even the emperor can see it from afar a few times. If the people tremble when they see them, then will they live this ordinary day?
Over time, the people of Luoyang City have developed a good courage. Hearing that the two armies were going to conduct military exercises, everyone was as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and the streets and alleys began to talk.
Casinos and underground banks also heard the wind and opened a handicap for gamblers to bet, waiting for the day of the martial arts.
Wei Ming sat on a bench with a bitter face, his two long arms dangling on his knees, and his lieutenant Lu Dahai opposite.
"What do you mean, what does the emperor mean? Is it because we haven't handed in the countermeasures for a long time, and the emperor is angry?"
Lu Dahai was younger than him, and he shook his head and said, "The emperor knows the importance of the Gyeonggi camp. This time, it should just be up to you and me to deal with it. ”
Hearing him say this, Wei Ming had an even more headache, and he couldn't guess the emperor's thoughts, what should he do to satisfy the emperor?
Lu Dahai said: "General, you might as well think about it, why did the emperor promote you to be the commander of this big battalion?"
Wei Ming was at a loss: "How do I know?"
Lu Dahai thought for a moment and said, "It's better to be like this, if you don't care about the emperor's thoughts, what will the general do?"
Hearing this, Wei Ming slapped his thigh, suddenly stood up from the bench, and said murderously: "Fight!
Lu Dahai smiled and said, "That's the case over there, according to the general's idea." It is clearly written in the battle book under the Northern Ya Army that both of us have a month to prepare. ”
"What?" Wei Ming looked puzzled and said, "Really follow my way?"
Seeing that Lu Dahai nodded, it didn't seem like a joke, and asked again: "What about Yongle Bo's twists and turns, how to deal with them?"
"You don't have to worry about this, I will go to the meeting and ask the emperor to show me. ”
Wei Ming heard that he had made up his mind, exhaled a long breath, and said, "Then I'll leave it to you! I'll go to train the troops." Be sure to kill those Beiya soldiers to the point of crying dad and mother!"
Seeing him regain his vigor and walk out, Lu Dahai grinded, and began to write a recital to the emperor.
……
Jiashan Fang, Xu House.
Xu Wanzhen was doing needlework in the yard, Sang Zi was helping her divide the threads on the side, and Qingluo was working.
A few days ago, Xu Wenmin came back with some new good materials, and she thought about making a summer shirt for her grandmother. Yesterday, the material was cut, and now seeing that the weather is good, I took the sewing basket to the courtyard and sewed it up with a needle and thread.
Qingluo is very lively, and the big events that have happened in the past few days are chattering. But it's not pure gossip, because of the cause of this time, it has something to do with Xu Wanzhen's cousin of the Tu family.
Xu Wanzhen held the needle steadily, flew the needle on the fabric, and asked without raising her head: "You mean, the two armies of the Beiya Army and the Gyeonggi Daying are actually going to perform martial arts?"
"Yes, Miss. The maid went out to buy snacks this morning, and the streets and alleys were talking about it. I heard that the casino also opened a handicap, ten to six. ”
"Oh?" Xu Wanzhen stopped, looked at her and asked, "Who is ten, who is six?"
Qingluo grinned and said, "Ten in the Gyeonggi camp and six in the Northern Yajun." ”
It turned out that everyone was not optimistic about the Northern Yajun, Xu Wanzhen thought to herself and asked, "Why is this?"
The maid didn't understand either, but when she was buying snacks, she heard someone talking next to her, saying that the two armies were not only practicing martial arts, but also that the whole army could work together on important matters. He also said that the Northern Ya Army is full of powerful children, and whoever says that they all fight small martial arts, but when it comes to the battlefield, what they pay attention to is the prohibition of orders. ”
Xu Wanzhen nodded, I see. This handicap was opened by the casino, and it must have studied the characteristics of the two armies.
The Gyeonggi battalion is all elite in the army, and they are all veterans who have been on the battlefield, and they are in a state of training all year round. When it comes to listening to military orders and teamwork, it is natural to win.
Wu Zhengxiang's eagle-like figure unexpectedly appeared in his mind, and Xu Wanzhen felt that the Beiyajun side might not lose. His eldest brother is not a weak person, and he will definitely not sit idly by.
Hearing such a lively thing, Sang Zi was attentive and asked with interest: "What is the charter of the two armies' military exercises?"
Qingluo took a sip of water to moisten her throat, her eyes were shining, and she said that these gossip news excited her the most. What's more, she stood for two quarters of an hour in order to inquire about this matter completely!
Seeing that Miss and Sang Zi were both interested, it was in vain that they stood on their legs.
"These two martial arts exercises are said to be the rules in the army, but they have not been done for many years. That is, the two sides will give the same number of people, and this time the rule is 1,000 people on one side. In an agreed place, a knife and gun were killed. In the time of a stick of incense, which side in the end has the most people left, which side wins. ”
"Huh?" Sang Zi exclaimed, "Wouldn't that kill a lot of people?"
Qingluo said slowly: "I asked, although it is a real knife and a real gun, but it is an unedged knife and a gun without a head. If you are slashed, you will leave a mark on your body, and the person will be considered dead. ”
Sang Zi patted his chest, reached out to pinch her, and said, "You damn girl, can't you finish your words in one trip?"
It turns out that the military exercises of the two armies are exercises that are commonplace in modern times. Xu Wanzhen thought for a moment and asked, "Where are you performing martial arts this time?"
Qingluo dodged Sang Zi's hand and said, "The Northern Yajun has set a time, in the next month." The Gyeonggi camp was set in its location, inside their camp. ”
Sang Zi stopped and asked, "Isn't that impossible to watch, how can you know who wins and who loses?"
Qingluo said: "It is said that on that day, a venue will be built outside the camp, and anyone can go to see it as long as they want to." ”
Xu Wanzhen smiled slightly, this series of things began with the death of the second son of Uncle Yongle a few years ago, and fermented again this year due to Liu Qiran's serious injury. No matter what the outcome of the military exercises between the two armies is, it will certainly not be the end.
More things should be to come, but not for ordinary people.
This kind of major event will definitely attract various forces in the court. I just don't know, who will be the one who will benefit in the end?
