In December, Jicheng was already covered in silver, and the whole city was dressed in a plain white coat, it was the season when the water dripped, but Jicheng didn't seem to feel the cold persecution, and the whole city was still in a state of excitement. For hundreds of years, the former Yan Kingdom has been working hard to heighten and strengthen the city wall, and now it has been picked up in pieces, piles of old bricks and stones, bought by batches of merchants, and re-invested in the construction of the new city, countless carriages come and go, the newly fallen snowflakes have not had time to deposit, has been countless big feet, countless wheels, crushed into a puddle of muddy water.

The shops in the city at this time in previous years, is the lightest season of business, and will continue until the wax moon will get better, but this year is very different from previous years, after the large-scale construction of the new city, the whole city has been driven, people who are accustomed to cat winter, have long gone out of the house one by one, now is a good time to make money, whether it is to demolish the old city wall, or to work on the construction site outside the city, it is a day to settle the cash silver, there is money to earn, who will cat at home to survive the winter?

Earn money, work in your hands, naturally a lot more generous, the city tea shop wine shop, business is not generally good, every time the meal, groups of people pour into the restaurant, so that the bosses are happy.

It's not a good year!

The people who ate talked about the recent opening of a new construction site there, the boss of that family opened a higher salary, and exchanged information so that they could get updated information, find a better and more earning job, the Han army lost the battle in Pengcheng, which is also one of the hot news focuses of everyone's recent discussion, but for the war, the big guys are not too worried, a small defeat, it's nothing, the people of Chu have angered the king. The army is about to pass, and those arrogant Chu people are afraid that they will be wiped out in an instant. It's definitely not a big deal, otherwise those big people in Jicheng can still sit firmly on the Diaoyutai one by one, and there is no panic at all, what should they do or what are they doing!

What is different from the feelings of ordinary people is the soldiers, and Ma Yin is one of them, he is a platoon commander in the Young Guards Corps, which has a special guard unit. Its daily task is to protect the security of the yamen of Jicheng and the security of Jicheng.

The four armies of the Young Guards Legion, nearly 100,000 people, and most of the troops are stationed around Jicheng, only their guard troops are stationed in the city, and Ma Yin's platoon is responsible for the safety of the Yamen of the Ministry of War. As a Weiwu army, Ma Yin wore a new military uniform every day, standing at the door of the most prominent key department of the entire Han Dynasty, which was very majestic in the eyes of outsiders. I don't know how many people are envious, but Ma Yin is very distressed, in his opinion, he is simply a vase. A clothes rack, who has nothing to do every day, is here to be the door god, and the fellow villagers who entered the Young Guard Regiment at the same time as him. Some of them are now battalion commanders, and they are still hanging around in the small platoon commander seat, who makes themselves not in the combat unit. In the combat troops, there are a lot of opportunities for meritorious service, but here, if you want to make meritorious service, there are too few opportunities, and if you want to climb up step by step, there is basically no other way except to boil up the qualifications.

But Ma Yin clearly felt the solemnity of the atmosphere in the military department during this period of time, and the ordinary officials who came in and out of the military department were all full of relaxation, but since the accident in the new army, everyone's face was tight, as if someone owed them money, and the lively military department yamen also became as silent as death, only the footsteps in and out reminded that there were hundreds of military officials and scribes inside.

During this period of time, even the king came twice, and it was obvious that the defeat of the new first army had a considerable shock to the military department and the imperial court.

The change in the atmosphere made Ma Yin also more vigilant, and reminded his subordinates from time to time to pay attention to their appearance and standing military posture, no one in and out of here is easy to mess with, just carry one out, the level is much higher than their own, if they catch any sore feet, it is not fun.

Who made them unhappy and depressed now! Ma Yin heard that the king had lost his temper in the yamen of the Ministry of War.

Today's situation is even more unusual, early in the morning, Ma Yin just came over to check the change of guard, and actually saw Ye Zhen, the commander of the Central Group Army, appear in front of the Yamen of the Ministry of War, followed by the iron-footed general infantry who are famous in the entire Han army, as well as Kong Fang, and Yang Fugui, the four giants of the Central Group Army arrived at the same time, which made Ma Yin feel that something big must have happened.

However, what shocked him was just the beginning, as time went by, Ma Yin suddenly saw Xu Yuan, the commander of the Northern Group Army, different from Ye Zhen's warmth, Xu Yuanren looked there, there seemed to be a murderous aura, and the whole person exuded a fierce momentum, behind Xu Yuan, Yan Peng, Luo Weiran, Gongsun Yi and others were also like their commanders, just like a knife, exuding a compelling momentum from the inside out, which made Ma Yin involuntarily straighten his chest, Xu Yuan's Northern Group Army was the army with the most battles and the greatest achievements in the Han court.

After standing guard in the yamen of the military department for a long time, there is still a big advantage, that is, there are many big officials who know them, and all of them are famous generals, of course, Ma Yin recognizes them, and they can't recognize Ma Yin.

Soon after Xu Yuan left, the sound of horses' hooves, a cavalry appeared in Ma Yin's field of vision, all high-headed horses, and a person who jumped off the horse made Ma Yin shiver, if Xu Yuan is the most famous general in battle, then this one is the highest status general, because his sister is the princess of the king.

He Lanxiong, the commander of the Eastern Group Army, behind him, three people walked side by side, Yan Haibo, Ding Wei, Gu Li, especially Gu Li, the commander of the Xiongnu Independent Cavalry Division, with a hideous stainless steel mask on her face, how conspicuous and conspicuous she was, although she debuted late, but in terms of fame, she was much greater than Captain Yan Haibo and Commander Ding Wei.

Ma Yin is already a little numb, what's the matter today, the heavy generals of the Han Dynasty stationed in all parties have returned to Jicheng one after another, and they have already reached the three group armies, but I am afraid that the remaining few are not far away.

Sure enough, not long after He Lanxiong entered, another wave of people arrived at the Yamen of the Ministry of War, Meng Chong, the commander of the Southern Field Army, and the two army commanders under his command, Zheng Xiaoyang and Tie Hyun, walking beside Meng Chong and talking and laughing with him were Bai Yucheng, the commander of the Qilu Army, and the horizontal knife, tiger head and Wei Zhiwen behind him.

This wave of people has not yet entered, behind them is the sound of horses' hooves, and a group of people gallop forward, as soon as he looks at the appearance of these people, Ma Yin immediately distinguishes that these are the three leaders of the Donghu Independent Cavalry Division, Agu Huaien, Mu Gulu, and Gao Che.

In addition to the big figures of the New First Army, all other ministries and armies actually gathered at the Yamen of the Military Department today.

Sure enough, something big happened, Ma Yin thought excitedly in his heart, did the king decide to use troops against Chu, so he recruited these generals back one by one to deploy major events, if this is the case, after he is laid off, he must go to his boss and apply to be transferred to the field army, standing guard here, he is already very tired, and he is as cool as the field army. With a small calculation in his heart, he saved nearly a hundred taels of silver in the past two years, and then went to his colleagues to make up for it, invited his boss to have a good meal, and then bought two bottles of Wu's best wine, and made sure that his boss promised to transfer him away.

was thinking about it in his heart, but when he looked up, he was startled by the several soldiers who came towards him, but the boss of his boss came Shangguan Hong, the commander of the Young Guards Regiment, and the four subordinate army commanders, Yang Dasha, Guo Laofu, Guan Bo, and Qu Zhen.

Ma Yin straightened his chest suddenly, when those people came before, he dared to look up and down at the appearance of these famous generals, but when these people came, he only dared to stare at a place in front of him, and he didn't dare to turn his eyes.

"The military posture is not bad!" Vaguely, he heard one of them seem to praise them.

"The military posture is good, the key is to be able to fight!" This voice was very loud, and when I heard it, it was Yang Dasha's rough voice, "These guards occupy the number and staffing of our Young Guards, but they are used as honor guards all day long, which is too cost-effective, commander, you can also tell the king, and simply kick them out of the Young Guards." ”

Hearing this, Ma Yin's heart tightened, and when he pricked up his ears and wanted to listen again, the other party had already entered the door and walked away.

"It's noon, you have to transfer away quickly, otherwise you won't have a chance, if you really want to be kicked out of the Young Guards as Commander Yang said, if you want to be transferred to the combat unit in the future, it will be even more difficult." Ma Yin shuddered, he didn't want to stand here in a military posture for the rest of his life.

Ma Yin, who was thinking about his thoughts, didn't see that there were three more soldiers in front of the gate, but compared with the previous generals who held their heads high one by one, they couldn't be compared, these three were a little sluggish, their faces were blue, and their eyes were black, they were the three division commanders of the new First Army, the first one, Cui Chengxiu, the acting army commander and the commander of the first division, Gao Chengdong of the second division, and Dong Zhuang of the third division, but their commander Zhang Hongyu was no longer there. It wasn't until the three of them stepped into the door that Ma Yin reacted, he had just wandered out of the world, and he didn't even salute them, oh my God, they wouldn't notice this.
