King Ye's army had already finished lining up outside Jiankang City, and Chen Qingzhi also led his army to join it.

"The Zhongshu people went to Pengcheng with Na Yuan Jingzhong a few days ago, and I have to rush over as soon as possible." King Ye said to Chen Qingzhi.

"Please ask His Royal Highness King Ye to take the first step, set off half a day later in the next meeting, and follow His Highness."

"Master Chen, oh no, it should be called General Chen now." King Ye changed his words and said, "This is your first time in battle, but be careful." ”

"Thank you for your concern, Your Royal Highness King Ye, and I am grateful." Chen Qingzhi thanked him for his work.

After King Ye led the army to set off, Chen Qingzhi ordered his subordinates to stand by on the spot.

"Xu Jin, Hui Ze, you take this time to meet with Miss Yang, but pay attention to the time, don't miss the time of departure."

"Thank you, Brother Chen, we won't delay the business!" Xu Jin and Hui Ze were elated, thanked Chen Qingzhi, and rushed into the city.

"Brother Yu, Brother Song, I'll leave it to you here, I'm going to go to Third Brother Chen, and before leaving, I want to meet Your Majesty."

"Ziyun, don't worry, with me and Lao Song here, it's no problem." Yu Tianxuan patted his chest happily and said.

"Wencai, from today onwards, I want to trouble you to make a daily march record, as well as a record of the loss of materials and soldiers."

"General Chen, don't worry, I will remember it clearly and clearly."

Everything was properly explained, and Chen Qingzhi went to Jiankang City.

When he arrived at the Vermilion Bird Inn, as soon as he entered the door, Chen Sibao rushed over, grabbed Chen Qingzhi's arms, and the smile that bloomed made the flesh on that round face tremble, "Ziyun, it's done!" It's finally done! ”

"Yes," Chen Qingzhi couldn't hide his excitement, "Third Brother Chen, it's really hard for you all these years!" ”

"What are you talking about," Chen Sibao said with a smile, "It's you, you are also a general now, look at your armor, what is the difference between you and ordinary soldiers?" ”

Chen Sibao was right, Chen Qingzhi was just wearing an ordinary soldier's armor - this was customized by Wei Xun.

Chen Qingzhi didn't care, and said jokingly, "It's good to have armor, besides, so the enemy won't recognize me as a general, and I'm safe." ”

"What about my armor?" Chen Sibao asked eagerly, "Now that our goal has been achieved, I will also go with the army, we said before, I am the quartermaster!" ”

"Third brother, don't worry," Chen Qingzhi soothed, "You, the shopkeeper of the Vermilion Bird Inn, how can you just say that you can leave, and you can't do a good handover?" Besides, we're going to go through the motions this time, or we'll be back soon, and by then, you'll have taken care of everything here, and it's not too late to come back to the army. ”

"Also, this time the formation came too suddenly, just leave." Chen Sibao muttered, "I really have to hand over the accounts clearly." ”

"Yes, I'm here, just to say goodbye to the third brother, and when we come back, you can handle it properly, and you can come to the army at any time!"

"Okay, you'll go first this time." Chen Sibao's face was full of smiles again, and he took Chen Qingzhi's hand, "Come on, our brothers must drink a pill, I wish Ziyun success!" ”

"The troops will be pulled out in a while, but it's okay, third brother, you can only drink one!"

"Don't worry, this is Zhuangxing wine, when you come back, I will definitely pull a few carts to the barracks and get drunk with the brothers!"

Xu Jin and Hui Ze came to the Yang Mansion, and when Yanran saw the two of them in military uniforms, they suddenly burst into tears. This made the originally elated two people panic and didn't know what to do.

"Yanran, what are you...... What's wrong? Xu Jin asked tentatively.

"yes, we haven't seen each other for a long time, so we ...... Did someone bully you? Hui Ze asked with a frown.

"Where, it's too late for me to be happy when I see you." Yan Ran hurriedly wiped away her tears, trying to make a smile appear on her face, "Just seeing your armor and thinking that you are about to go to war, I am so worried and scared......"

"Yanran, look! This is the armor you made for us! Xu Jin turned around in front of Yan Ran, "You haven't seen what we wear, how it fits!" ”

"Yes, this armor is so finely made, it will definitely protect us and won't get hurt!" Hui Ze also comforted.

"Well, it fits perfectly." Yan Ran burst into tears and smiled, "I'm very happy to see you wearing on your body, you two look like that, quite heroic!" ”

"But ah, Brother Chen is just wearing the same armor as the brothers, and our armor looks so good that we look more like generals." Xu Jin scratched his cheek with his fingers and said with a grin.

"Then you have to behave well, maybe you can really be a general in the future." Hui Ze teased.

"You're going to be a general, so what are we going to do?" Yanran also came to join in the fun.

"Hui Ze will be the deputy general, and Yanran will be the general's wife!" Xu Jin didn't think about it, and happily popped out of his mouth with this sentence.

Yan Ran suddenly blushed like a sunset. Keep your head down and turn to the side.

Xu Jin reacted, realized that he was speechless, and hurriedly explained embarrassedly, "That...... I...... No, that...... I'm talking nonsense, don't ...... Don't be surprised. ”

Looking at Xu Jin's clumsy appearance, Hui Ze shook his head with a smile and came out to play a round for him, "This battle hasn't been fought yet, it's quite a general, it's not so easy." ”

"When...... It doesn't matter if you don't be a general. Yan Ran also began to speak, trying to ease the strange atmosphere, "As long as ...... We...... There are three of us...... It's good to be together all the time. ”

The atmosphere gradually eased up, and Yanran called the cook and asked them to hurry up and make some food.

"There is still some time, I have a full meal at home and go to the battlefield, but I have to endure hardships." Yan Ran said worriedly, "Although I haven't seen what the battlefield is like, I've heard my father say that it's really a life of nine deaths, you must take care of yourself!" ”

"Don't worry, Yanran, I've followed my father to kill the enemy since I was a child, I'm not afraid!" Xu Jin tried to make his tone appear relaxed.

"But Hui Ze is a monk, where has he seen the cruelty of the battlefield."

"Don't worry, I'll protect him!" Xu Jin patted Hui Ze's shoulder and said with a smile.

"The little monk's stick is not used to carry the road." Hui Ze smiled and said to Yan Ran, "Don't worry, we'll be fine!" ”

In the imperial study, Chen Qingzhi knelt on the ground respectfully and bowed to Emperor Liang.

Emperor Liang came over and helped Chen Qingzhi with his own hands, and said with a smile, "Ziyun, I have given you your initial formation and your military position, and now, I am looking forward to your activity on the battlefield!" ”

"Weichen will definitely live up to His Majesty's high expectations, and he will not give up!"

"I said that your first battle must be won by meritorious service! You are my confidant, and this battle is at stake for my face, and you must not let those high-ranking scholars who criticize you fall into the truth! ”

"Your Majesty's painstaking efforts are clear to you. If it weren't for His Majesty's trust, no matter how many heads Weichen has, I'm afraid it won't be enough to cut off. ”

"This time I went to Xuzhou, as your analysis, it shouldn't be a big deal; There are 20,000 soldiers and horses of King Ye in front, and Pengcheng also has tens of thousands of horses. Therefore, I think that this battle is your first battle, and the risk is very small, so you must do it yourself! ”

"Your Majesty has thought so carefully about Wechen, which really makes Wechen grateful."

"Before leaving, I still want to hear your opinion, what do you think of the follow-up disposal of Xuzhou?"

"Xuzhou has an important status, whether the Yuan monk wants it or not, after getting him back to Jiankang, he must immediately send someone to guard the town."

"Well, that's exactly what I'm asking. Who do you think can do this? ”

"The land of the four wars in Xuzhou must be extremely loyal and reliable, and people with the ability to govern and dominate can be appointed."

"Then do you think my dearest relatives can go?"

"Someone dearest? Your Majesty's brother? ”

"Humph! Those brothers of mine can't afford such a heavy responsibility. ”

"Could it be that Your Majesty wants to send a prince?"

"Hmm." Emperor Liang nodded slightly, and gently stroked his beard with his hand, "Do you think there is anyone among the princes who can do this?" ”

Chen Qingzhi suddenly understood something, and he asked tentatively, "Knowing the son Mo Ruo's father, all the princes are all dragons and phoenixes among people, and they are talented, which prince does Your Majesty think is the most suitable?" ”

"Eh, I'm asking you." Emperor Liang smiled and said, "You just have to speak boldly, I want to listen to your opinion." ”

"King Yuzhang?" Chen Qingzhi said softly in an inquiring tone.

"Oh, do you also think King Yuzhang is suitable?" Emperor Liang's eyes shone with joy, "It seems that it is really the same as what the hero sees!" ”

"I don't know who else agrees with the minister?" Chen Qing had already guessed the answer in his heart, but he still hoped to get confirmation from Emperor Liang.

"It's Zhu Yanhe's Zong'er recommended to me!" Emperor Liang replied with a smile, "Didn't he want to send an envoy to Xuzhou, before leaving, he came to visit me and raised the question of who would guard Xuzhou after the Yuan monk came to Jiankang." ”

"King Yuzhang is indeed physically strong and talented, and among the princes, he is one of the few who has done local assassination history, and has experience in governance and command."

"In this way, Zong'er is indeed the best candidate." Emperor Liang said happily, "He is the prince, and he must be loyal and reliable; In addition, when he was doing assassination in the past, he was diligent in government and loved the people, and I believe that he will definitely govern Xuzhou well. ”

"But Xuzhou will inevitably be attacked by the Northern Wei Dynasty, although King Yuzhang has commanded the army, but he has never fought, this is also a hidden danger......"

"I and Yanhe have also taken this into consideration, and when you bring back the Yuan monk, I will make some arrangements."

Coming out of Taicheng, Chen Qing's heart has been haunted by a little worry. He didn't know why this worry was raised, and his originally comfortable mood was clouded with a haze for no reason.

Back in the army, the brothers were also assembled. The soldiers lined up in groups, and in the sound of neat steps, they walked towards Xuzhou, towards the unpredictable future, and towards the fate of not knowing life and death......
