Xu Huizu, who received the order, ordered people to prepare their own armor and horses, although Xu Huizu only worked in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies on weekdays, but every move of the Yan army was in Xu Huizu's attention, and Xu Huizu, who knew the way of King Yan's use of soldiers, was also puzzled when he saw Zhu Di's current abnormal fighting style, and he couldn't rest assured, so he hastily explained a few words and left the house directly.

"Big brother! Eldest brother! ”

Xu Huizu, who had already stepped on the war horse, heard the sound coming from inside the door, showed a smile, looked towards the door, and a shadow trotted out, it was his little sister Xu Miaojin.

"What's wrong? Younger sister? ”

"Is the eldest brother going to go on an expedition to fight against his brother-in-law?" Xu Miaojin's beautiful eyes flowed, staring at Xu Huizu and said.

Xu Huizu knew that he couldn't hide it, so he nodded with a wry smile.

Xu Miaojin lowered her head when she heard this, and said as if she was very aggrieved: "It's all a family, why should the emperor send a big brother?" ”

Xu Huizu was also speechless, so he had to say softly: "Miaojin, as a Ming courtier, you can only be loyal to the king!" Only to take care of family affairs, the eldest brother, as the head of the family, has no choice many times, so he can only obey His Majesty's orders, otherwise the family will not be safe! ”

Xu Miaojin's eyes were red, as if he remembered his father, who he had never seen, and his sister who was far away in Beiping, and sighed softly: "Can the eldest brother promise me one thing!?"

This little sister never seemed to beg herself, Xu Huizu nodded, and said solemnly: "Little sister, you say, what the eldest brother can do must be done!" ”

Xu Miaojin said in a firm tone: "If the eldest brother is defeated, can you not kill King Yan?" After all, he is my brother-in-law, I don't want my sister to lose her husband, Gao Chi, Gao Xu, Gao Sui without her father! ”

Xu Huizu smiled helplessly, it would be good if he was not caught by Yan Jun and killed his head and sacrificed to the flag, but he still wanted to be tough with Yan Jun? If Xu Huizu is given 100,000 elite soldiers, Xu Huizu is confident, but what about those old and weak soldiers in Zhenjiang? Whether or not they can hold the Yangtze River moat is unknown, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice!

However, Xu Huizu would not say this to his sister, so he nodded warmly and said, "Brother will promise you!" ”

Xu Miaojin showed a smile and said with a smile: "Then the big brother should take care of his body when he is fighting outside!" ”

Xu Huizu nodded and advised: "Go back quickly, your sister-in-law is very worried, accompany her more, the military situation is urgent, I will leave!" ”

Xu Huizu raised his whip fiercely, and a cadre of guards also followed closely, Xu Miaojin looked at the direction of his eldest brother's departure in a daze, and his heart was full of thoughts.

...

"Beat the drum and raise the tent!"

Xu Huizu, who entered the Zhenjiang camp non-stop, directly entered the big tent of the Chinese army under the greeting of the deputy general, and said without hesitation.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

"Woo! Woo! Woo! ”

Heavy drums and muffled trumpets have not sounded in the Zhenjiang camp for many years, and they are just basic drills on weekdays, after all, there is no war. The guard system, the combination of peasants and soldiers, and the officials who have nothing to do will always pull the idle soldiers to do private work and earn some extra money, and the sudden sound of the drum startled a crowd.

Many soldiers are in the vicinity of their homes, and they are already in a hurry when they hear the drums, and they don't have time to tidy up their armor, so they rush to the barracks with them on their sleeves.

In the hurry, most people still arrived, of course, there were also late, after all, they were used to being lazy on weekdays, who knew that there would suddenly be a Shangguan gathering today?

"Latecomers, stand aside!"

Xu Huizu, who was looking at everyone coldly, said majestically, Jiangmen Huzi is extraordinary.

Hearing Xu Huizu's order, everyone who was late looked helpless, so they had to bow their heads and walk to the side, hoping that this airborne Shangguan would be merciful.

Xu Zuhui sat on the throne of the big tent, ignoring the three who were late, and said lightly: "The generals may not be familiar with me, but presumably you all know me, this handsome Xu Huizu!" According to His Majesty's order, he served as the governor of the capital of the north and commanded the armies of Zhenjiang! In the future, I will work with you, and I hope that all the generals will cooperate more, defeat the Yan army as soon as possible, and return me to stabilize the rivers and mountains! ”

How could a cadre of generals not know Xu Huizu's name, and he already had a little respect in his heart. Without waiting for everyone to respond, Xu Huizu said directly: "Take out the roster and roll call!" ”

The master of the army was already standing aside with the roster, and when he heard Xu Huizu's general order, he cleared his throat and directly read the person's name.

The number of senior generals of the 50,000-strong army should have reached thirty-four, but it was thirty or forty, and three were late.

The Zhenjiang garrison, which has not been in military affairs for many years, can do this to this extent, Xu Huizu is not a person who knows neither soldiers nor soldiers, he sees the general trend of the world very clearly, and also knows the difference between the northern and southern armies, although he is unwilling, but now the main force of the imperial court has been defeated, and it is not bad to have these 50,000 people, at least he will not escape from the battle, Xu Huizu comforted himself.

"Well, yes, it's all here, you wait for the three people who are late, do you know what to do if the three voices don't drum?"

One of the three of them was still drunk, standing crookedly, and burping from time to time, Xu Huizu frowned.

"Returning to the handsome, three strokes will kill those who can't drum!"

One of the generals said with pleading in his eyes, and those who arrived early didn't dare to talk, and lowered their heads one after another, for fear that Xu Huizu would make a name for themselves.

Xu Huizu stood up, held the sword on his waist with his left hand, and said in a deep voice: "Go to the general stage first, and the commander will review the army!" ”

...

Looking at the soldiers who were poorly dressed and listless, and were dragging their feet to gather, Xu Huizu was furious, how could such an army fight with the 100,000 elites of the Yan army? He said angrily: "Those who are still outside the queue for half an hour will be decided!" ”

As the soldiers shouted out the order, the speed of the soldiers' assembly was really much faster, and in less than a moment, the 50,000 army had been assembled, although it seemed to be only a gathering of 50,000 people, there were still many people whispering, without the slightest spirit of the army, but it was also standing, right? There is always room for improvement. Moreover, in the early Ming Dynasty, there were still not many people who dared to eat empty quotas, and almost all of the 50,000 people arrived.

To govern the troubled times, it is necessary to use heavy codes, and if the laws are not heavy, it is not enough to set an example for a hundred, and if the law is not heavy, it is not enough to establish rules and establish order! Xu Huizu grew up under Xu Da's ear since he was a child, and now that the Yan army is about to cross the river, there is really not much time for him to calmly organize the army, if the means are not fierce, I am afraid that he will not be able to suppress this group of ruffians.

"Quiet, quiet, and those who dare to speak in the team will be twenty boards!" A group of pro-soldiers shouted one after another, no one was willing to eat twenty military sticks, and the barracks quieted down.

"Come on, bring the three generals who are late!"

Xu Huizu was in high spirits, and said in a loud voice: "These three people have no military discipline, they should have been on duty in the barracks, but they ran out to drink and have fun, and they didn't arrive when they raised the drum three times, and they should be beheaded!" ”

The people in the field were silent, not daring to speak, Xu Huizu smiled coldly, pulled out his long sword and pointed at it, and shouted: "Left and right, push these three people to the cutting platform, and ask for the beheading immediately!" ”

The faces of the three of them were like ashes, but they were also a man, knowing that the military order was like a mountain, they didn't ask for mercy, watching the head fly high into the sky, blood splashing seven feet, Xu Huizu was a little surprised, but he didn't expect it to be a little bloody!

The faces of the soldiers in the field were extremely pale, where had most of the people in the field seen such a cruel method? Even most people have never killed anyone with their own hands, after all, they have been stable for thirty years, and the original batch of Taizu elites have long been dying of old age or have already followed Taizu, how can today's people compare?

Shaking his head secretly, Xu Huizu said in a loud voice with a hint of helplessness: "Soldiers, the Ming Dynasty is now in the autumn of critical survival, and our soldiers should be responsible for protecting their families and defending the country. ...”

Looking at the expressionless and dazed people, Xu Hui Zusheng stopped the draft that had already been typed, in fact, the Yan army had fought Jiang, Xu Huizu would also be the Duke of Wei, these soldiers would not be liquidated, and the family relatives would not be slaughtered, but only an emperor.

With a long sigh, Xu Huizu waved his hand and said, "That's it, except for the soldiers on duty today, all of you are allowed to take half a day off, return to the camp before dinner, and go and arrange things at home!" Tomorrow you will go with me! ”

These soldiers were in good spirits and shouted loudly: "Thank you, Commander!" ”

Looking at the soldiers who scattered away, only the figure of Xu Huizu, who was still standing in place, was stretched out......
