Chapter 52 Entering the camp to explore the hearts of the army
Liu Yao's ambition to be the emperor is not without it, and no man can resist the temptation of power, but if he is proclaimed emperor, and Jiang Wei's attitude is still unclear, even if Jiang Wei supports it, Liu Yao does not want to be the emperor now.
Looking at Jiang Wei's meaningful eyes, Liu Yao also had mixed feelings in his heart.
Today's Han court is dominated by Yizhou scholars, and most of the scholars have some interests with the crown prince Liu Rui, after all, Liu Rui is the prince.
Speaking of Jiang Wei, the army of the Han Dynasty is in the hands of Jiang Wei, Jiang Wei is loyal to Liu Chan because Liu Chan gave him power and status, and promoted Jiang Wei from a general of the Wei State to more than 10,000 people under one person.
But Liu Yao can't give him anything, on the contrary, Liu Yao still has to rely on Jiang Wei, and when people reach a certain status, their mentality will change, under the weak lord and strong ministers, without the elbow of the scholars, Jiang Wei will become a powerful minister like Zhuge Liang, but whether he can return to the government after his death like Zhuge Liang, who can say for sure.
After Zhuge Xu's rectification, the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, everyone silently returned to the camp, in the eastern camp of the Han army, everything was Jiang Wei's final say, Liu Yao was just a vase, and he was only worried that Liu Chan would have an accident and the Han army's morale would get out of control, at that time it was logical to support Liu Yao as the emperor, and now that Liu Chan is still alive, Liu Yao's role is currently unusable.
Feeling a little depressed, Liu Yao didn't want to stay with Jiang Wei anymore, so he called Jiang Wei and said:
"General, Deng Zhong is in your hands, the soldiers in the battalion have just returned from a fierce battle, and this king wants to go to appease and appease the soldiers first."
Seeing that there was nothing important in the camp, Jiang Wei nodded and said:
"It's okay, during the day, the soldiers of Dongying saw that His Majesty was humiliated and hit hard, so they should be appeased."
With Jiang Wei's consent, Liu Yao turned around and instructed Guan Xiu: "General Xiaoguan, you take Deng Zhong down and detain it, and you can stay with the general for the time being." ”
"No!"
Guan Xiu received the order, and then asked with some concern:
"I have taken all the guards, what should I do if Your Highness is in danger?"
"I don't go out of the camp, what danger can there be in Handi, if you are really worried, let Guo Da and Wang Shi follow me." Liu Yao waved his hand a little disappreciatively.
Inside the barracks at the east gate of the Han army.
At the end of a major battle, the soldiers were exhausted, and they were crowded outside the camp tents, and the military doctors came and went to treat the wounded soldiers, and from time to time they let out the painful cries of the wounded soldiers.
Many people were a little depressed, and they still remembered the scene of the Son of Heaven being coerced by the Wei army on the East City Gate.
Liu Yao was still dressed in bright silver armor, followed by Guo Da and Wang Shi, two personal guards, and just walked into the barracks when he attracted the attention of a group of soldiers.
The soldiers in Dongying are all border soldiers from Jiange Pass, not as honest as the county soldiers, most of them are more arrogant and domineering, but their combat effectiveness is very tenacious, and their character and combat power are also cultivated in border battles all year round.
Seeing Liu Yao and the two guards coming, many border soldiers had never seen Liu Yao, and some people began to whisper.
"Look at which white-faced general this is, and his armor is also white, like a Jiangdong girl!" A veteran with a shiny face said to the wounded soldier next to him who had just bandaged his left arm.
The wounded soldier pulled up his uninjured right arm and slapped the veteran on the head.
"Just you? Have you ever seen a Jiangdong girl? How can he compare with him? ”
The veteran smiled a little wryly: "I haven't seen it, I can't imagine it, it's not certain whether I can marry a girl in this life." ”
Liu Yao walked in and heard these border soldiers making fun of themselves, they were all veterans who had experienced a hundred battles, and it was no big deal to say some vulgar words, Liu Yao was not angry, her eyes were staring at the veteran, and she walked over with a smile.
When the veteran saw Liu Yao coming, he knew that his joke just now was heard by the white-armored general, but instead of being afraid, he twisted his neck and asked:
"What are you looking at?"
Jiang Wei loves soldiers like sons, and rarely punishes the soldiers under his command, these soldiers only recognize their direct generals, and will not be punished for contradicting other generals, and there are no taboos.
But in the end, looking at the armor is also a general, the wounded soldier is still the old soldier's armor, signaling him not to be too resistant.
Guo Da and Wang Shi were a little angry behind Liu Yao, His Royal Highness the King of Stability was joked like this by these border soldiers, how could they bear it, and the two scolded at the same time:
"Bold! How dare you be rude to Your Highness! ”
Liu Yao hurriedly signaled Guo Da and Wang Shi to shut up with his eyes, stood in front of the veteran and stared at him, the veteran was also a little uncomfortable, thinking that Liu Yao was going to be mad, who knew that Liu Yao actually smiled slightly and asked:
"Do you like Koto girls?"
When the veteran heard Liu Yao actually ask this, he thought he had heard it wrong, scratched his head, and replied with some embarrassment:
"We are in the army, I don't know when we were beheaded, and I have never married a mother-in-law in my life, they say that Jiangdong girls are good-looking, let's just think about it, who knows if it is bluffing us."
The wounded soldier was immediately displeased, and argued with a red face:
"Who bluffed you! My father fought Jiangdong with the first emperor, and he personally told me that the Jiangdong ladies are very smart, and he said that if it wasn't for the defeat of the Yiting, he would have designated to marry a Jiangdong lady and go home. ”
The veteran pointed at the wounded soldier and slammed it back: "Look at it! It's your father again, how many years has your father been dead, and you haven't seen it with your own eyes, maybe your father fooled you. ”
Although the wounded soldier injured an arm, his temper was still so short-tempered, and he was about to beat the old soldier.
Liu Yao couldn't cry or laugh when she saw this, and hurriedly stopped them and said:
"Isn't it Jiangdong mother-in-law? When the Wei army is pacified and welcomes back the Son of Heaven, I will ask the Son of Heaven to let the general take you to Jiangdong to rob people, but the ugly words are ahead. If you can't beat the Jiangdong soldiers, then you will have to fight for the rest of your life! ”
When the veteran heard Liu Yao say this, he pursed his lips and said:
"Come on! The Son of Heaven has let the Wei army take him captive, and it is not certain whether he can be saved or not, and we don't know who to fight for now! ”
The wounded soldier with the injured arm on the side was still angry with the veteran just now, and when he heard the veteran speak, he instantly pushed him and said in a low voice:
"Don't talk nonsense, it's a capital crime to shake the morale of the army."
The veteran realized that he had said the wrong thing, and once the words were heard by the generals above, they would be executed on the spot, and he was immediately a little panicked.
Liu Yao was not angry because of the old soldier's words, and it can be seen that most of the soldiers in Dongying should have this idea now.
patted the veteran on the shoulder, and slowly comforted: "If the Son of Heaven can save it, the Han family can also be restored, and the Jiangdong mother-in-law who promised you will definitely honor it for you." ”
