Chapter 314: On the Varsity Field. Yanrong talked about the plan before the army.
After eating and drinking, taking a short rest, led by people who are familiar with the road in Nankang Wangfu, Xiao Baorong also went to the school military field to have a look. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Everyone approached the military field of the school, and before they entered, they heard the sound of many soldiers drilling, their steps were the same, their tones were coordinated, and the sound of practicing assassination was endless. Some people also found that there were newly recruited recruits who slipped into the military field of the school, ran along the wall to the rear, and as soon as they joined the army, they participated in training non-stop.
In the military field of the school, the soldiers are neatly dressed, the queue is even more orderly, rigorous, and you can't see the edge at a glance, don't look at it, even if you are not a recruit, you have just enlisted for a long time, but all of them are not ambiguous, and the military appearance and military discipline are already quite decent, almost comparable with the regular army. Several partial generals and adjutant generals are commanding the brigade to collectively practice their skills against the enemy, Xiao Yan is at the forefront, on a high platform, standing, paying close attention to everything around him, and from time to time telling the people around him something, sometimes they go to the general who commands and convey his instructions; Sometimes, he told them personally.
Xiao Baorong led his own attendants to the stage and approached Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan motioned to the whole army, asking everyone to stop and introduce to everyone, "This is Lord Rong." You've all seen Lord Rong. The soldiers of the whole army collectively knelt on the ground, clenched their fists and bowed their hands, and their voices shook the sky, "See Lord Rong." Xiao Baorong was almost taken aback, he calmed himself down as soon as possible, and waved his hand to everyone, "No need to be polite, please get up." You continue to exercise yours. ”
This army, Xiao Baorong was relieved at a glance, he mainly talked to Xiao Yan again, "You all go to the side." "He commands everyone except Xiao Yan." Go ahead. Xiao Yan didn't object. Xiao Yan only left two or three close attendants around him, and the others, as well as Xiao Baorong's, all went to guard under the handsome stage. If they mutter, they shouldn't be able to hear it.
"Xiao Yan, I really didn't expect that in such a short period of time, you would make the army so good, it's really yours." Xiao Baorong praised Xiao Yan, he has always been the object of his admiration, and he is still a playmate who can play together, unlike the dead Xiao Yi, who can only be the former. "Where, generally, everything is not difficult to do, but I am afraid of people with hearts." What Xiao Yan has is the perseverance to not give up until the goal is achieved.
"How many of these people are there?" Xiao Baorong is difficult to estimate, but he feels that there should be a lot. "Not much." Xiao Yan denied, "It's less than 10,000 people, eight or nine thousand." "So little?" There are less than 10,000 people, judging from the number, it is really not much, it is a few, "There are still tens of thousands of troops in the capital." "Xiao Baorong is still the head of the capital's defense, but he has never really entered the army, let alone watched their collective drills." yes. There is still a big gap in numbers that needs to be developed, and it has to be developed into elite soldiers. "To reach the level where you can raise troops to start an incident, you have to wait patiently, Xiao Yan estimates that within a year or two, I am afraid it will be difficult to make the trip.
"Less than 10,000 people, they are already swaggering like this, if the emperor's brother knows, the emperor's brother will definitely punish us for serious crimes, right?" Xiao Baorong just went out of Beijing to visit Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan still has opinions, and he is very cautious, not to mention such a large army formation. "I recruited and trained soldiers, and I wrote a memo to the emperor's brother, and it was approved by the emperor's brother." With the holy decree, Xiao Yan naturally didn't care, although he was relieved to do it boldly.
"The emperor's brother agreed to recruit troops? Is it because Nankang's bandits are too rampant? Xiao Baorong heard the people of Nankang Wangfu mention the saying that there are many bandits, "I haven't encountered any robbers along the way?" He was puzzled, it seemed that Nankang was still quite peaceful.
Xiao Yan smiled faintly, leaned close to Xiao Baorong's ear, and lowered his voice, "With me guarding Nankang, can I still allow the real bandits to run rampant?" Those bandits are only part of our forces. They won't act without stepping on it in advance, without my instructions. They only robbed the bullies, and the bad guys with status, and they also robbed the Nankang County Guard, when I didn't come, he looted a lot of people's fat and people's ointment, and now he is honest, so that they can have the opportunity to give the emperor's brother, and then the emperor's brother will order, with me to recruit troops to fight the bandits, we can smoothly have men and horses, and the army's expenses can also be obtained from them. Kill several birds with one stone. This time, the officials and bandits are really a family, and they are all soldiers. "It's really yours, Xiao Yan, you're really tall." Xiao Baorong admired Xiao Yan's ability more and more.
"What about you, let me stay here for a day or two, then hurry back to the capital, look at the emperor's brother, and firmly grasp the military power of the capital, as far as the secret agents, guards, guards, and several eunuchs in the palace are definitely not our opponents in two places." Xiao Yan wants to win, "When the time comes, we must succeed, because if we don't succeed, we will become benevolent, but we are not as free as the emperor's brother, no matter how much we fail, we can be important kings." ”
"That's true, we have to be careful everywhere." Xiao Baorong is most afraid of things, but "I listen to you, see you, see the army of such a tiger and wolf army, and also have a backbone, and I will go back to the capital tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." ”
"After returning to the capital, first go to the emperor's brother, don't worry, the more afraid the bigger the matter, you tell him, we grew up together, the first time these days have not met, some miss, I am afraid that he will not allow it, so I ran out without permission, and I will never dare in the future. If you take the initiative to confess honestly, the emperor's brother will not blame you. "Xiao Yan arranged what Xiao Baorong should do." Good. "Under normal circumstances, Xiao Baorong is obedient to Xiao Yan, especially in matters that are beneficial to him.
"Also," Xiao Yan explained, "you tell the emperor's brother that my army is stepping up training. You have to go back in embarrassment, and when you go back, you will immediately go to the emperor's brother, and tell him that you have encountered robbers in Nankang, everything has been robbed, and you are starving, and you have sold clothes for food, so that the emperor's brother will agree to my large-scale conscription, deal with the bandits, and expand our own strength. "Well, it's all up to you." Xiao Bao was happy, Xiao Yan just had an idea.
Xiao Yan raised his eyes to look at Xiao Baorong, and advised, "Don't make too much trouble, you can only say that things were robbed, don't talk nonsense and physical harm." It's a big deal, a prince encounters robbers, it's not trivial, and then let the emperor's brother send troops to sweep away the bandits in Nankang, we will have ** annoyance, too much, understand? "Okay, do exactly what you want, I won't be out of line." Xiao Baorong nodded seriously.
Under Xiao Yan's instructions, Xiao Baorong soon left Nankang City and returned to Kyoto Jiankang. He passed by the door of Rongwang's mansion, but he didn't go in, so he took off his robe outside and went directly to the palace to find Xiao Baojuan.
