68. Dismount
"So...... Did the princess go to Shaliucheng this time and did she not return? Peach's voice trembled a little, after all, the master and servant, although the princess was crazy during this time, although she caused a lot of trouble to herself, she was approachable and did not have a little shelf, like a child who did not grow up, and now when she heard the news that he was going to die, Peach was sad from the bottom of her heart.
Li Zi was silent for a while, and comforted: "These are just our subordinates' blind guesses, how can we know the prince's thoughts, maybe he has other plans." โ
When Su Yuheng returned to his residence, he saw that Peaches was packing his luggage, looking at the large and small packages on the table and on the bed, Su Yuheng couldn't cry or laugh: Where is this going to war? That's all there is to the move.
Laughing and stepping forward, he pouted dissatisfiedly and shouted, "There are so many things, so heavy!" I don't want to bring so many things. โ
Peaches, who was busy cleaning up, heard the sound and raised her eyes to look at Su Yuheng, when the two looked at each other, Su Yuheng clearly saw her reddened eyes and nose, and said strangely in her heart: "Why is this girl crying?" โ
Since the day Su Yuheng married to the You'an Palace, Peaches has been serving his daily life, Su Yuheng knows very well that she is by no means sentimental, and even cheerful and talkative, Su Yuheng has never even seen her frowning, I saw her crying all of a sudden today, I don't know what happened, my eyes rolled, I stepped forward and touched Peaches' head with one hand, and comforted in a childlike tone: "Peaches are good ~ Peaches don't cry ~ Who bullied you, tell me, I'll help you get angry!" โ
Unexpectedly, when Peaches heard Su Yuheng's words, she immediately cried out. Su Yuheng felt that he was deaf and was not cured but was dumb, and he didn't know what to do for a while, so he waited until Peaches slowly stopped his tears, put the wrapped luggage neatly one by one, and sobbed and said: "This trip to Shaliucheng, the princess must be careful, don't run around, take care of yourself, the slave is waiting for you to come back......"
As he spoke, he began to cry again. Su Yuheng looked at her inexplicably, feeling that in her mouth, she didn't look like she was going to war, but more like going to die, secretly thinking that a little girl was a little girl, touching her head, and not saying anything else.
The next day set off to Chobei County, as expected by Yu Junyan, the local men enthusiastically signed up to join the army, and tens of thousands of people had gathered in less than two days, because Yu Junyan paid out of his own pocket to raise the Yulu, and there was an endless stream of people joining the army along the way, and when he arrived in Shaliu City, Yu Junyan had nearly 100,000 soldiers under him.
When Chen Yong, the commander of the ironclad army, greeted Yu Junyan at the gate of the city, he looked at the mighty team of men and horses behind him, his face immediately changed, and he said coldly: "Does the prince know that the emperor does not allow the prince to hold military power in his hands?" โ
Yu Junyan nodded lightly and said, "Of course." โ
Chen Yong looked at Yu Junyan's indifferent answer, and his face became even more cold: "Since the prince knows, why do you still know the law and break the law?" โ
Yu Junyan glanced at Chen Yong with his spare eyes and said, "What do you mean by this?" The king did not understand. โ
Chen Yong was even more angry when he saw that he was not admitting his account, and raised his hand to the team behind him and asked, "What explanation do these princes want to make?" โ
"They...... It is the soldier recruited by this king along the way. โ
Chen Yong had a disbelieving expression on his face: "How could it be possible to recruit so many soldiers along the way?" โ
Yu Junyan chuckled: "Just because you can't do it doesn't mean that this king can't do it." โ
Peeling off Chen Yong, who was blocking the way, with a horsewhip: "The top priority now is how the battle is going, not these trivial things, General Chen has inevitably put the cart before the horse." Let all the soldiers gather on the school ground, and this king wants to see the heroic posture of our soldiers. โ
"Yes! The last will listen to orders. Chen Yong clenched his fists and retreated, a sneering smile on the corner of his mouth.
The horn sounded, and people gradually poured into the empty school field, Su Yuheng stood in the dark and watched quietly, even he could see that those soldiers were very loose and had no fighting spirit, thinking that the emperor actually sent such soldiers to Yu Junyan, obviously with the intention of letting Shaliucheng fall.
Chen Yong gloated and looked at Yu Junyan, waiting to see how this graceful little prince would face this embarrassing situation.
Contrary to Chen Yong and Su Yuheng's expectations, Yu Junyan did not get angry when he saw this scattered team, on the contrary, there was even a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, he slowly walked to the team, raised his hand and pointed at one of the soldiers, and said: "You are the last to arrive, do you know what crime to be guilty of?" โ
The soldier looked at Yu Junyan blankly, and asked, "What crime?" โ
Chen Yong stood aside and held back a smile, and there were already soldiers whispering around him, Yu Junyan was still not angry, and replied lightly: "I should be dealt with in accordance with military law." โ
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding discussion became louder.
"Military law? What military law? Don't you want to kill him? โ
"This general is more detailed than a woman, and at first glance he is a young master of an official family who grew up in brocade clothes and jade food. Do you still want the new official to take office with three fires and give us a dismissal? โ
"What? You don't even understand the meaning of military law. Yu Junyan's slender fingers touched the hilt of the sword at his waist, and the cold light flashed, and the soldier's eyes widened, staring at his chest in disbelief, and a sword was inserted into his body until the hilt of the sword.
In the midst of the exclamations of the crowd, the soldier fell straight to the ground, and the blood spread under him, causing everyone to retreat in all directions.
Yu Junyan stepped forward and pulled out the Hongyuan sword, shook off the blood on the sword with a wave of his hand, and put the sword into the sheath: "Hang this person's body at the door of the school field and expose the body for three days, so that everyone can see the end of the undisciplined!" โ
The cold voice sent chills down everyone's spine, and everyone looked at Yu Junyan in surprise, whose face did not change, and his delicate face revealed a cold murderous aura, like a ghost in hell without sorrow or joy.
"Alright, you two drag him away." Yu Junyan said, "The rest of the people, start practicing." โ
A group of people trembled and raised the โกโก in their hands, practicing one by one, Yu Junyan walked back and forth in the team, and after a while, the soldiers' movements slowed down significantly, and their expressions gradually became painful.
"Speed up!" Yu Junyan shouted, "I can't stand it for just one hour, how can I fight against the Xiwa army?" โ
"No more...... I'm exhausted......"
"Let's take a break...... I can't even lift my arms......"
"General Chen, haven't you practiced on weekdays? Why do you have no strength after practicing for so long? Yu Junyan asked coldly, and before Chen Yong could answer, he suddenly pointed to someone and asked, "Who told you to stop?" โ
"No more...... I really can't do it......" the soldier wiped his sweat and said, "I really can't practice anymore, I have to ...... I'm going to take a break......"
"Oh? Do you want to rest for a while......" Yu Junyan stepped forward and asked, "If we meet on the battlefield, do you think the army of Siwa will let you rest enough before going to war?" โ
"No more...... Even if...... Even if the Siwa army is right in front of me, I can't move......"
"Oh? So you're ready to die? A cold light flashed in Yu Junyan's eyes, and he waved his hand to slash at the soldier, the soldier instinctively blocked it with his hand, and Yu Junyan stabbed forward with the โกโก in the opponent's hand, โกโก through the soldier's body, and firmly nailed to the ground.
"What is this doing, Lord Wang?!" Chen Yong's face turned a little pale in an instant, this person had just arrived in Shaliu City and killed two people, did he come to kill the enemy or to slaughter the ironclad army, "Since the prince is the commander, he should lead the soldiers into battle to kill the enemy and defend the territory, what is the purpose of such cannibalism?" โ
Yu Junyan hooked the corners of his mouth and revealed a very faint smile: "As General Chen can see, the intention of this king is to train troops. You yourself said that we have to defend the territory this time, the Xiwa army is like a broken bamboo, but our soldiers are like scattered sand, you can tell me, how do we defend this Sand Willow City? โ
Chen Yong replied: "The training of soldiers is focused on training rather than killing, and our army is already short of manpower, and the soldiers were killed by the prince again, so they came to defend the city?" โ
Yu Junyan shook his head and said: "What this king wants is a strong general who is one as ten, and weak soldiers will only waste everyone's food, and no matter how many people like that kill, this king will not feel a pity." โ
"Lord Wang!" Chen Yong's voice gradually cooled, "Shaliu City is not a place for you to go on a killing spree, if this matter is known to the Holy Lord......
"The Holy Lord's will is not to let Sand Willow City fall!" Yu Junyan interrupted Chen Yong's words, "Unless the Xiwa army slaughters every soldier here, this city gate will not be opened." Therefore, if we can't defeat the Xiwa army, none of our people here will survive, rather than being killed by the enemy and then laughing at the lack of strong soldiers in our Yuan Kingdom, it is better to die in the hands of this king so as not to tarnish the majesty of our Yuan Kingdom. โ
Chen Yong was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect Yu Junyan to have such an idea of ending up together, he wanted to wait until Yu Junyan was defeated and returned to the palace to receive the reward from the emperor, but now it seems that if he doesn't win, I'm afraid that his life will be here, thinking of this, I can't help but be afraid.
"But...... Keep practicing like this...... No one can stand it...... Even if it's the prince, you can't stand it......"
The complaint of a young soldier in the crowd reached Yu Junyan's ears, he turned his head to look at the person who pouted and looked unconvinced, when everyone held their breath and thought that his life was not guaranteed, Yu Junyan suddenly showed a soft smile, took off the cloak he was wearing and put it aside, picked up a โกโก from the shelf, waved it a few times, stood at the front of the school field, and said loudly: "From now on, I will take you to practice, I don't stop, you are not allowed to stop, violators, there will be no forgiveness!" โ
