Zhu Houzhao's two hundred cavalry were a bit ridiculous, nominally subordinate to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, but they were in charge of the eunuch Wei Bin, who served as the Governor of Jinyi Guard.

Wei Bin naturally didn't know how to train cavalry, and the specific training affairs were represented by a Xuanfu border general named Zhu Zhi.

As soon as he heard the name Zhu Zhi, he knew that he was Zhu Houzhao's godson.

When he came to the leopard room, Zhu Houzhao did not show up, and the person in charge of contacting Wang Yuan was a eunuch named Zhu Ying.

Zhu Yingsheng is tall and big, probably because he wants to go to war, and he actually sticks two mustaches to himself. He rode over, got off his horse and hugged his fists and said: "Humble Zhu Ying, see Wang Yushi." ”

Wang Yuan didn't know the situation, and didn't even see that this person was a eunuch, so he replied: "When I first arrived, I hope that Brother Zhu will give me more advice." ”

Zhu Ying's task was originally this, and the emperor was afraid that Wang Yuan would not be able to deal with those Qiu Ba, and he would not be able to suppress other friendly units, so he threw a eunuch over as a deputy.

Zhu Ying explained with a smile: "Wang Yushi, I have been working in the Imperial Horse Supervisor for a long time, and I have no specific position in the army this time. It can barely be regarded as a supervising army, but it is the 200 cavalry who are in charge, not Wang Yushi himself. In addition, the correspondence documents, the allocation of food and salary, the negotiation of friendly forces, and the liaison scouts are all the responsibility of the lowly position, and the royal history only needs to win the battle for the emperor. ”

Well, it turned out to be a eunuch, Wang Yuan was quite surprised.

Zhu Ying took Wang Yuan to take over the troops, counting the leading Zhu Zhi, a total of two hundred and one people.

That day, Wang Yuan had seen Zhu Zhi in the test shooting, but he didn't expect to have to deal with him so soon.

"I, Zhu Zhi, have seen Wang Yushi!" Zhu Zhi didn't bother to get off the horse, and rode directly on the back of the horse to talk to Wang Yuan.

This is very impolite behavior, Zhu Zhi is only a hereditary hundred households in Xuanfu, because of his outstanding performance during the peace, he was recruited by Liu Jin to dedicate to the emperor, and he is responsible for the daily training of two hundred cavalry.

After being the emperor's godson, Zhu Zhi was suspended as the commander of a certain Jingwei and was a fourth-rank military attaché.

Although Wang Yuan's Hanlin Academy was only revised from the sixth grade, the temporary post patrol according to the imperial history was only the seventh grade. But these two official positions, if you take out one of them, they are not a fourth-grade military attache who can be slack, even if you meet a fourth-grade civil official, you can be tough.

The eunuch Zhu Ying smiled and didn't speak, they were all father's godsons, he couldn't teach Zhu Zhi directly.

Wang Yuan Changsheng stood on the school grounds, looked up at Zhu Zhi on horseback, and asked calmly, "General Zhu seems to be dissatisfied with me?" ”

"How dare you!" Zhu Zhi sneered.

This guy is conceited and brave, and he often wins battles in Shanxi, but the credit is always taken away. Later, he became the emperor's godson, and worked hard to train cavalry for several years, hoping that one day he would be able to make great achievements.

As a result, he inexplicably came to a champion and snatched the cavalry he personally trained, which reminded Zhu Zhi of the unbearable past when he was robbed of his merits.

It's no wonder that you can give a good face!

Wang Yuan turned around and asked Zhu Ying: "Zhu Jianjun, what do you think should be done?" ”

Zhu Ying replied with a smile: "The humble position is only responsible for assisting Wang Yushi, and I dare not overstep my responsibilities to make decisions for Wang Yushi." ”

Dare to love these two people singing double reeds?

Zhu Zhi sneered: "What else can I do?" Since the emperor has asked you to lead the army, we will listen to your orders. When to pull out, you set a date, I will go back to recuperate first. ”

The smile on Wang Yuan's face disappeared instantly, and he shouted, "Open immediately!" ”

Zhu Ying hurriedly persuaded: "Wang Yushi, this is not ready yet." ”

Wang Yuan half-squinted his eyes and glanced at Zhu Ying: "Zhu Jianjun, can you get ready in half a day?" ”

Although I don't know what Wang Yuan wants to do, being a eunuch has his own intuition, and Zhu Ying estimates that if he doesn't cooperate, this champion will probably be ruthless. He subconsciously replied, "You can be ready." ”

"Then we will go out this evening, before the gates close!" Wang Yuan said.

Zhu Zhi couldn't help but sneer: "Wang Yushi, do you know how to fight, how can you start when it's almost dark?" ”

Wang Yuan was expressionless and asked, "Your Majesty thinks I know how to fight, is General Zhu doubting Your Majesty's vision?" If so, we will immediately confront Your Majesty! ”

"Okay, you understand, you know better than anyone else," Zhu Zhi said with a strange yin and yang aura, "Champion Lang, Wenqu Xing is down to earth, and you can learn to fight by reading books." ”

Wang Yuan didn't bother to pay attention to this person anymore, and summoned the two leading hundreds.

One is called Zhu Cong and the other is Zhu Xiang, both of whom are the emperor's godsons. They are estimated to be the entire Ming Dynasty, the most veritable hundred households, and they really just command a hundred soldiers.

Zhu Cong's attitude towards Wang Yuan was slightly better than Zhu Zhi's, but on the whole, there was no difference, and they were all unhappy with the civil officials who had parachuted in.

These guys, who have been eating and drinking well in the leopard room for several years, have been paid a lot of soldiers, and are also the godsons of the emperor, they may even be the champions in their eyes. Moreover, Wang Yuan was still the champion who chased the enemy for dozens of miles on horseback, and he couldn't deter them with martial arts alone.

Only Zhu Xiang is still enthusiastic about Wang Yuan, he is the one who competed with Wang Yuan that day, and admired Wang Yuan's marksmanship in his heart.

The situation is probably clear.

The prison soldier Zhu Ying has a bad stomach, and he doesn't know what he wants to do; Zhu Zhi, the commander of the cavalry, and Zhu Cong, the commander of the hundred households, both showed hostility towards Wang Yuan; Only Zhu Xiang is willing to cooperate with Wang Yuan, but this cooperation is also limited, otherwise he will be isolated by his colleagues.

Wang Yuan went to get another set of armor, and then led the horse and waited in place.

Until the evening, the drive is set out.

Including Wang Yuan, there were a total of two hundred and twenty-four horsemen. Among them, 200 cavalry were 3,000 battalions, and 20 cavalry were Jinyi guard scouts, which were temporarily sent by Emperor Zhengde.

There were also 600 men who were responsible for transporting grain, grass, armor, and all kinds of marching equipment.

The head of those brocade guard scouts was actually an acquaintance.

That is, Wu Liande, the spy of the Jinyi Guard, who witnessed Wang Yuan's pursuit of the thieves, had been promoted to the general banner at this time, and the emperor asked him to bring twenty sentinels to be responsible for investigating the military situation on the battlefield.

"Brother Wu, long time no see!" Wang Yuan laughed.

Wu Liande hurriedly said: "Wang Yushi's identity is noble, and he doesn't dare to be a brother. ”

"It's all my own family, why bother talking about two families." Wang Yuan couldn't win over the cavalry leader for the time being, so he came to win over the Jinyi guard sentry.

Another kind remark and handing over, Wu Liande was really moved inexplicably, and his impression of Wang Yuan was extremely good - it didn't work if it wasn't good, the last time he was promoted, he relied on cutting off people's heads behind Wang Yuan's buttocks, and he was summoned by the emperor because of this.

After the relationship warmed up, Wang Yuan pulled him aside and whispered in Wu Liande's ear.

The team set out from the city and came to the outskirts of Beijing not far away, it was already getting dark, Wang Yuan ordered to camp in place to rest.

The cavalry and the people all complained, thinking that Wang Yuan would do this too much, and he would live directly in the city, and it would be easier to set off tomorrow.

At night, Zhu Zhi, Zhu Cong and Zhu Xiang got together and complained while drinking.

"These turbans don't know how to fight at all, how can they be pulled out when it's almost dark." Zhu Cong first expressed his attitude.

Zhu Xiang persuaded: "Forget it, the emperor arranges for him to lead the army, then let him go." Moreover, Wang Yushi is brave and brave, chasing the enemy for dozens of miles on a single horse, and riding and shooting is much more powerful than ours. It is better to fight with him than with a civilian official who doesn't dare to kill chickens. ”

Zhu Cong sneered: "Martial arts are useless, does he understand cavalry tactics?" He doesn't even know when he will pull it out! ”

Zhu Xiang looked at Zhu Zhi: "What are the plans of the eldest brother?" ”

"Let's see if he can be a man," Zhu Zhi said with a grim expression, "If you are disobedient, you insist on working against our brothers, and you may die tragically in the chaotic army." ”

Zhu Cong sneered when he heard this, and Zhu Xiang was a little unbearable.

The emperor's 200 cavalry water was too deep, and the general leader and the two hundred commanders had already worshiped in private, and even planned to kill Wang Yuan on the battlefield.

The devil knows what the trio thinks.

It is estimated that they themselves do not know, on the one hand, they want to make meritorious contributions, and on the other hand, they do not want to take risks. Because they eat and drink well in the leopard room, they can be promoted quickly even if they don't fight, so why bother to fight to the death on the battlefield?

These are not only proud soldiers, but also delicate soldiers, who were raised by Zhu Houzhao as a deep lady.

They didn't dare to complain about the emperor, so they could only be angry at Wang Yuan, and they were inexplicably resentful.

The three of them drank for half an hour, and the more they talked, the more outrageous it became, and Zhu Zhi even said "The emperor doesn't know anyone."

As soon as these words came out, the tent was suddenly opened, and the three of them panicked and grabbed their weapons.

There are also three people outside the account, namely Wang Yuan, Zhu Ying and Wu Liande.

The eunuch Zhu Ying was silent, and looked at the three people in the account with a gloomy face.

Wang Yuan asked Zhu Ying: "Zhu Jianjun, I don't know much about military law, why don't you help me state it?" ”

Zhu Zhi stood up with a sneer: "Drinking in the army is a big deal for dozens of military sticks." ”

Wang Yuan said to Wu Liande again: "Wu Zongqi, come on." ”

Wu Liande said sharply: "There are many complaints, anger at his main general, do not listen to constraints, and it is even more difficult to control." This is called the formation of an army, and the offender is beheaded. ”

"You dare!" The three of them stood up in fright.

"By the way, I seem to have heard it just now, someone said that His Majesty doesn't know anyone?" Wang Yuan said compassionately.

The three of them turned pale with fright, and sweat broke out on their foreheads.

"Actually, it's not a big deal," Wang Yuan walked over with a smile, took a sip of the wine jug, and said to Zhu Zhi, "Commander Zhu, I'm a new champion, and it's inconvenient to be promoted too much, do you think I'll rob you of your credit?" ”

Zhu Zhi hadn't thought about it seriously before, and replied at this moment: "Probably not." ”

Wang Yuan asked again: "If it weren't for me to lead the troops, would you be sure to capture and behead the thieves among the ten thousand troops?" ”

"Not sure." Zhu Zhi shook his head and said.

Wang Yuan asked again: "Since you are not sure of meritorious service, and I will not compete with you for meritorious service, then what are you hostile to me?" ”

Zhu Zhi was speechless.

yes, why can't I get along with him? It's no good to offend.

Wang Yuan invited Zhu Ying and Wu Liande to sit down and drink, and continued to say to Zhu Zhi: "You seem to want me to die on the battlefield? ”

"Don't dare, it's just a drunken lie." Zhu Zhi's mind was in a mess.

Wang Yuan sighed with emotion: "It's really the same thing that heroes see." ”

Zhu Zhi asked, "Why did Wang Yushi say this?" ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "According to my original intention, I didn't expect to catch you tonight." My original plan was to see if you were obedient, and if you were stubborn, then I would find a reason to cut you down the sacrificial flag before going to war. I'll cut you to be famous, and I won't carry any trouble. And what am I? The champion of the current department, patrolling the imperial history. If I die on the battlefield, whether you are the one who did it or not, you will not be able to escape the guilt after the fact. Have you thought about this? ”

Zhu Zhizhen didn't think that he was too nourishing in the leopard room, and after becoming the emperor's godson, his IQ plummeted.

Wang Yuan asked, "How many people have you killed with your own hands?" ”

Zhu Zhi replied: "More than ten." ”

"I have more than you, only a few dozen," Wang Yuan asked softly, "Commander Zhu, do you think I dare to kill you to sacrifice the flag?" ”

Wang Yuan's expression was calm at the moment, with a smile like a spring breeze, but Zhu Zhi was so frightened that his legs trembled. He dared to shake his majesty before, relying on his identity as the emperor's son. But this champion is obviously a ruthless person, if he dares to be ruthless now, he is afraid that he will be cut off by a knife.

Thinking of the legend of the white-clothed flying general Wang Erlang, Zhu Zhi was so frightened that he knelt and kowtowed: "Wang Yushi, please spare my life and give me a chance to make meritorious contributions!" ”

Wang Yuan threw away the wine jug: "It's still the same sentence." At most, I will make Your Majesty unhappy if I kill you, and if you plot against me, I will definitely be questioned, and you will think clearly about the joints yourself. If you and I cooperate, we have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and if my king acts correctly and sits upright, he will not be able to do anything to rob merit and take merit. Do you believe me? ”

Zhu Zhi leaned lower: "I am convinced." ”

Wang Yuan laughed, suddenly became extremely enthusiastic, and helped Zhu Zhi up with his own hands: "Commander Zhu, the thieves are all rabble, so many credits are waiting for us to pick up, how can there be idle time to make contradictions." You say, don't you? ”

Zhu Zhi said in horror: "Wang Yushi is right, he is ashamed of his humble position. ”

Wang Yuan asked, "Can the three thousand battalions be able to fight?" ”

"Battleable," Zhu Zhi said, "by Wang Yushi's command, the three thousand battalions are invincible!" ”

Wang Yuan patted Zhu Zhi on the shoulder: "If there is a small setback, it is a big deal to cut a person to sacrifice the flag, I hope this person is not Commander Zhu." ”

Zhu Zhi was almost schizophrenic by this repeated change of attitude, and his vest sweated: "Definitely not." Wang Yushi, please rest assured, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire in front of you, as long as Wang Yushi gives an order, the three thousand battalions will definitely risk death to accompany you! ”

"I remember you." Wang Yuan turned around and left the tent.
