No wonder it is said that helping people will also be addicted, at first I didn't believe it, it seems that there are really people who have this psychological need, of course, the situation of the green calyx is not quite the same, if I am a psychologist, I can write a feudal society of the low status of the maid psychological distortion of the extremely needed argument, but I don't have this time now, so I have to comfort her: "It's just right that you don't have to bring anything, and you don't have to worry about me freezing and starving." ”

The green calyx pouted and sobbed: "You are usually used to being served, and when you go to the army, you are all those fools with rough hands and feet, I am not very relieved." ”

I laughed and said, "Well, it would be nice if I could bring you with me." ”

The green calyx was speechless, it seemed that he was really moved, but he had been a servant in Shifu for many years and knew the rules of the army, not to mention me, even Shi Cundao didn't dare to blatantly take a woman when he was marching and fighting, and finally sighed and said: "Go to sleep, don't you have to get up tomorrow?" "She served me to lie down, but she did not sleep, and sat at the table in a daze, first, because she could not sleep, and secondly, she was afraid that she would miss the hour, and it was late at night, and there were only two or three hours left by the end of the day.

I lay in a daze for a while before I was aroused by the green calyx, wiped my face and walked towards the council room, as soon as I arrived at the door, I heard someone laughing inside, and when I walked in, I saw that it was Stitch and Stitch were wearing new armor, where you pat me and I stabbed you to play, although both of them have military positions, but they rarely have the opportunity to wear such formal armor, so it feels fresh at this time. When the two of them saw me come in, they asked together, "Where is the fifth brother's armor?" ”

I waved my hand and said, "Grandpa said to ask someone to do it for me, but I don't know what happened." ”

At this time, Shi Cundao walked in with Shi Fei Shi Dong, followed by a soldier with a set of armor in his arms, Shi Cundao said: "Wulang, let's see if it fits?" ”

I only deflated my mouth when I hit that set of armor from a distance, that thing is just a round helmet, a sleeve, and two armor skirts, which are clearly the most ordinary guards in the Shi Mansion to wear, and then look at others, even if the armor of the Stitch Stitch brothers has a helmet, wings, shoulder pads, and covered hands, and the heart guard is full of flowers, not to mention the lion's mane chain armor of Shi Cundao.

Shi Cundao saw that I looked strange, and explained: "Di Zai, although you are the former general of the left, you have not yet been officially canonized by the emperor, so you can't wear it beyond the system. ”

I said awkwardly, "What are you doing with all this formalism?" After all, he still buckled the sleeve on his shoulder, put on his helmet again, and turned around twice, "It fits perfectly." "Of course it fits, it's so simple, a set of armor was specially asked for me by Shi Cundao two days ago, how can ordinary soldiers have this treatment? Although this set of armor styles is ordinary, the weight of the armor leaf weaving is meticulous and reasonable, and it can be said that the material is not increased, but then again, it can only be done in two days.

After everyone arrived, they began to have breakfast, and after a while, someone came to report that the guard of honor outside the door had been in place, and after a while, someone reported that the road from here to outside the city had been cleared. Seeing that the preparations were ready, Shi Cundao got up and said, "Let's go!" ”

Knowing that Shi Cundao is going out today, the people of Shifu naturally came to see each other off, seeing the old lady take the lead in leaving, everyone stood on both sides, with the four ladies, all standing on the side and watching, there is the old family who can talk and pray, wishing the old marshal a victory and success, Shi Cundao nodded slightly on both sides, and then a clever girl came out of the crowd, grabbed Shi Cundao's hand, and begged: "Grandpa, you are going to go on the expedition today, I will send you a send?" "It's Stitcha.

Shi Dong's eyes glared and said, "Nonsense." ”

Shi Cundao waved his hand and said: "This is also Jia'er's filial piety, let her go." ”

Taking advantage of this opportunity, my cheap old lady came to me in a flash from the crowd, grabbed my hand and rubbed it carefully, and said with tears in her eyes: "Di Zai, your father and two brothers have been sold to the country, you must not have an accident, remember a word for your mother, don't go to a place that is too dangerous, there are so many people in our country, it is not necessary for you, but don't do it." ”

I was moved and amused in my heart, when it came to the end, the mother still felt sorry for her son, and I couldn't take care of any national plan, fame and wealth, I took her hand and said: "My son understands in his heart - beware of letting grandpa listen." Looking behind the eldest lady, the green calyx was also standing behind with red eyes, and I smiled at her and said, "Take care of yourself, the young master will come back and bring you something fun." ”

Green Calyx wiped his eyes and said, "It's important to take care of yourself." ”

Shi Dong looked at the third lady and Gui Zhi with his eyes, and after all, he didn't come forward to talk to him because of his identity, Shi Dijia smiled and said: "Daddy, don't worry, I will help you take care of your mother and aunt after you leave, especially to ensure that your aunt can't stand the bullying." ”

Shi Dong glared at her again, but his expression was much more relieved.

Everyone went out of the gate, someone led the horse, Shi Cundao took the lead on the horse, the old groom of Shifu brought the oolong to me, but the other hand was still pulling the reins of the white horse, the old groom said: "Fifth young master, this little couple of newlywed Yan'er can not do without anyone, when I lead the horse in the morning, the white horse has to follow, or the black horse will not be out of the circle, what do you think?" ”

I smiled and said, "Then what else can I do, I'll take it with me." Saying that, I patted the oolong on the head and said, "Take your wife with you in battle, you are better than Lao Tzu." ”

Outside the gate of Shifu is lined up with the army honor guard, the first to open the road is the forbidden army, and then the honor guard of the brocade clothes and long feathers, plus the guards and flag tents of the history of the road, more than 5,000 people drove to the city gate in a mighty way, the forbidden army has been paved in front of the loess, all kinds of people and so on to see the lively are standing on both sides, a group of people are not slow and not in a hurry to press the hour to hurry, it is expected to pass through the city gate at the time, and arrive at the camp outside the city around the hour.

After walking less than 5 miles, the team's marching speed suddenly slowed down, as if the road ahead was blocked by someone, Shi Dong looked at the sky, and asked the newly returned Tanma with a calm face: "What's going on ahead?" ”

The probe said: "Back to the general, the road ahead was blocked by Gu Taishi's sedan chair." ”

"Master Gu?" Shi Dong's face moved slightly, and he muttered to Shi Cundao: "Father, this ......"

Shi Cundao's face was expressionless, and he casually pointed to a pro-soldier from his side and said, "You go and take a look." The soldier said yes with a loud voice, and turned his horse away.

I asked Shi Dong in a whisper: "Third uncle, who is this Gu Taishi?" ”

Shi Dong glanced at me and said, "Even if you haven't been an official in the court before, there's no reason not to know about Gu Taishi, right?" ”

I mentioned it in my heart, knowing that this caused a little trouble, although the five waste firewood is not a martial artist, but after all, it is the grandson of Shi Cundao, and there are any big officials in the court who should still know, and I am a little rash to ask.

Fortunately, Shi Dong did not delve into it, and said: "Gu Taishi's youngest daughter is the emperor's concubine, since the queen Bintian the year before last, the most favored in the palace is Gu Guifei. ”

I suddenly said: "It turned out to be the emperor's father-in-law." ”

Shi Dong said: "Speaking of which, there is another person in the Gu family who has dealt with you, didn't you fight with the forbidden army when you made trouble in the palace?" You don't know who their ruler is, do you? ”

"Gu Debiao?"

Shi Dong said: "Exactly. ”

I thought to myself, no wonder Huang Yifei said that day that Gu Debiao's family background was prominent, it turned out that this kid was the emperor's brother-in-law, and it was even more strange that although Huang Yifei managed the gods and guards, he could only succumb to Gu Debiao's name, but this competitor's identity was too special.

Shi Dong whispered: "If it is Gu Taishi who is in the way, it will not be easy to do, he is the emperor's prince, and he has the privilege of meeting hundreds of officials and horses first, and I want him to make way, unless it is ordered by the emperor." ”

I said, "How can it be in time?" ”

Shi Cundao listened to the two of us talking, suddenly snorted, and said with a wave of the horse's head: "Wulang follow me to take a look." ”

I followed behind Shi Cundao, Shi Dijia was greedy to see the excitement, and quietly followed, we passed through a forbidden army to the front, only to see a sedan chair carried by eight across the road, said to be eight sedan chairs, than the usual sedan chair carried by four people is not a little bigger, enough to be wide, the road is blocked by a porcelain porcelain, and there are two teams of guards in front of the sedan chair. Shi Cundao's personal soldiers shouted and asked, "Who is in the way in front?" This sentence is knowingly asked, who else can there be such a powerful sedan chair in the Honglie Empire besides being the imperial master?

At this time, a green mule walked out of the opposite team, and a butler-like fat man wearing a navy blue brocade robe glanced at Shi Cundao's personal soldiers, and it was probably a seizure to see someone shouting so loudly in normal times, but today's situation is special, he saw that the other party was dressed in the army, and he forced his anger and said: "This military master is invited, and he is the head of the Gu Mansion below, and it is Gu Taishi in the sedan chair." ”

The soldier said, "Why are you in the way?" ”

The manager said patiently: "I didn't mean to block the way, but the sedan chair was slow, which blocked the path." ”

The pro-soldier said: "You are in the way of Marshal Shi, quickly get out of the way, let us pass first!" ”

The flesh on the fat man's face twitched, and he smiled and said: "Since it is Marshal Shi's tiger frame, he must also rush to the city gate, my master is going to send your army there, why don't you ask the marshal to follow us behind the sedan chair and walk slowly, when we arrive at the city gate, we will say goodbye to each other, how about each doing his job?" ”

But the soldier was impatient than him, and waved his hand and said, "It's your business where to go, now get out of the way." ”

The fat manager couldn't suppress his anger anymore at this time, and said loudly: "Bold! I'll say all the good things to you, why don't you understand people, who dares to order the Taishi to give way? ”

The pro-soldier said sharply: "Today, even the Taishi has to give way, can you afford to sin if you delay the hour?" "He is a small personal soldier, not only does he not pretend to the head of the Taishi Mansion, but he doesn't even pay attention to the Taishi himself, and even I feel that he is unreasonable.

The more the two sides talked, the more stiff they became, and at this time, Shi Cundao stepped forward and said steadily: "It turned out to be Master Gu's driver, and the old man was polite." ”

After he finished saying this, the sedan curtain was lifted, and an old man wearing a jade crown showed his face and said reluctantly: "Old Marshal Shi is polite." Obviously, Gu Taishi also heard the conversation between his chief manager and his own soldiers, and his face was extremely ugly.

Shi Cundao glanced at the pro-soldier and said, "Knowing that it is Gu Taishi, how dare you be so rude, and why don't you quickly make amends to Taishi?" ”

The soldier said respectfully, "Yes." With a blank expression, he arched his hand at Master Gu and said, "I'm offended." Everyone could see that he was perfunctory, and Master Gu snorted in response.

Shi Cundao uncovered this stubble and said with a smile: "Today's situation is special, how about inviting the master to do it?" "Speaking of which, I still have to ask the Taishi to make way. Gu Taishi's face changed, and he was about to have a seizure, when a person turned from behind the sedan chair, he rode on a horse and said to the sedan chair: "Dad, I think let's let it go." ”

I saw that this person was Gu Debiao, the commander of the forbidden army, so I arched my hand at him, and Gu Debiao smiled at me imperceptibly, but he looked up and stopped beside me for a moment, I turned my head and saw that it was Shi Dijia, Shi Dijia saw that someone was looking at her, and made a grimace at Gu Debiao, and laughed in a low voice: "This person looks like a big horse monkey." Gu Taishi's face was cloudy, and finally he just waved his hand angrily, and Gu Debiao immediately said loudly: "Give way!" ”

The eight-lift sedan chair slowly moved to the side, and our people were able to pass, which extinguished the majesty of the imperial division by mistake, and the soldiers raised their heads and chests when they passed, and went away with their heads held high.

Walking on the road again, I saw that there was no one left and right, and asked Shi Cun in a low voice: "Grandpa, were we a little too much just now?" ”

Shi Cundao stroked his beard and said, "What do you mean?" ”

I said, "After all, Taishi Gu is the emperor's father-in-law, and he lost such a big person just now...... You, did you have a holiday with him? ”

Shi Cundao smiled and said: "If you want to say that Gu Taishi is a person, the old man has no deep friendship with him, but he has nothing to do, so he is really forced to do this." ”

I wondered, "Why?" ”

Shi Cundao pointed to the pro-soldier just now and said, "Why did you tell him?" ”

The soldier said loudly: "The army is moving forward, and there will never be any obstacles on the way ahead, which is also an auspicious intention to move forward, even if it is the emperor's relatives who stand in the way, please ask him to get out of the way!" ”

Shi Cundao nodded with satisfaction and said to me: "Hear it, sometimes our prestige still has to be put on a show, especially when the army is about to go to battle, and we must not let the army's heart be shaken a little." ”

I nodded, "Got it, but ...... Will Taishi Gu hold a grudge? ”

Shi Cun said: "The work here is for the emperor to explain to him, if he still can't let go of this breath, then there is nothing to be done, it's a big deal that the old man will make peace with him after he returns to the court." ”

I sighed: "I feel more and more that the knowledge of war is too deep, and I am afraid that I will not be able to learn it." ”

Shi Cun said: "What is this, the highlight of today is still you, the emperor has been keeping your identity a secret, just in order to surprise the three armies today, you have to be prepared." ”

Walked forward for less than half an hour, the team has arrived at the city gate, the two city gates are wide open waiting for us to pass, the civil and military officials are lined up on both sides according to the rank and rank, they sent the prime minister Lin Chengen as a representative, put down the incense table and wine table for the army to recite the text, Lin Laocheng held a piece of paper, trembling and reading for a long time under the support of the two protégés, a group of four characters, nothing more than "hanging the people to kill the crime, defeating the enemy and returning the merit" This kind of good prayer and praise to the prestige of our army, and then picked up a glass of wine to Shi Cundao and marched forward, but Shi Cundao did not get off the horse, raised the wine glass and drank it all, and said loudly: "Thank you colleagues, the old man will definitely repay the country with death." Then he hugged his fist slightly, and passed by everyone, and the majesty of this generalissimo can be seen.

According to the general practice of the Honglie Empire, the marshal could only be sent at the city gate, so Shi Fei had no choice but to stay in the city, watching his two sons follow their third uncle farther and farther away until they disappeared. The last glance I threw at it, I happened to see Gu Taishi urging his eight sedan chair hands to hurry over, no way, the marshal went out to bid farewell to hundreds of officials is the law of the Honglie Empire, and he didn't dare to disobey it when he was a prince, but finally took a last look at our backs, and barely sent it off...... Further along are the empty country roads, unhindered, not long to the Chinese army camp, I saw the camp tents endless, here is the most elite 750,000 central army of the Honglie Empire.

In the middle of the camp, the handsome platform is built high, and the flying dragon flags are flying high on both sides, which indicates that the emperor has arrived at the camp, and the forbidden army and the bound god guard are waiting for each person under the stage.

Knowing that Shi Cundao had arrived, Gonggong Li took it out, and Shi Cundao dismounted to greet him, and finally asked, "The emperor has arrived?" ”

Li Gonggong said: "The emperor set up a temporary sleeping palace here yesterday, in order not to delay the itinerary of the army. ”

Shi Cun said: "The old minister is afraid, when will the emperor's intention oath meeting be held?" ”

Li Gonggong said: "The old marshal can take a break if he is tired on the road, the emperor's meaning is very clear, even in the barracks, everything is still under the old marshal's respect." ”

Shi Cundao hummed and said, "Then without further ado, the old man is going to order someone to blow the trumpet." ”

Gonggong Li lowered his hand and said, "Please." ”

Shi Cundao immediately ordered: "Assemble!" ”

The horn sounded, the barracks suddenly boiled, the soldiers went out of the camp to assemble, there were special people to store tents, the camp of nearly one million men and horses was basically assembled in less than 10 minutes, in front of the handsome platform a neat and tidy 30,000 people in front of the square, together with the ministers and officials are gathered here to wait.

Zhu Xiaofeng heard the horn and walked out surrounded by everyone, and most of the 30,000 soldiers in front of the handsome platform saw the emperor for the first time, and couldn't help but prostrate together on the earth and mountain to shout long live. As soon as these tens of thousands of people shouted, there was a chain reaction in the entire camp, and the officers and soldiers who were miles away also knew that the emperor had come in person, and shouted with them, and listened to the sound of long live within a radius of several miles, one after another, and sometimes this camp had just finished shouting and then spread to the next camp, and the noise did not gradually stop until more than ten minutes later, until the birds nearby were extinct, and the grass and trees changed direction.

Zhu Xiaofeng stepped on the platform, waved his hand down, and said concisely: "Today, I will see off all the soldiers, may God bless me Honglie." He picked up a glass of wine and sprinkled it on the ground, which was regarded as a tribute to heaven and earth, and then motioned to Gonggong Li to read the edict.

Gonggong Li stood under the stage and read melodiously: "In the 12th year of the Showa of the Honglie Empire, 300,000 pioneers of Hegis committed crimes, and its main force is even more unknown, the enemy is brutal, and the enemy is menacing. ”

This will be a big and treacherous volume, Xiaohua has decided to write a big scene......
