A group of sons and brothers with fine clothes and fine food, only one afternoon, were embarrassed by Yan Qing's practice.

Naturally, there was a lot of dissatisfaction in my heart, but no one dared to say it. Because Zheng Yanqing first joined the sect, the iron-blooded method of killing two people in a row made them feel inexplicably afraid. After the training was over, the twenty-three remaining clan disciples accepted another task: that is, to memorize the fifty-four of the seventeen forbidden laws in the army. If you make a mistake, you will be punished with ten sticks.

Everyone believes that this young man with a delicate appearance, but his heart is as hard as iron, and he always has a harmless smile on his face, and he will never tolerate mercy when he does what he says. For a time, everyone was in a state of apprehension and read hard in the military tent all night.

If you are stripped of your underwear and spanked in front of the entire sect, even if it doesn't hurt, you can't afford to lose this face.

For a while, the lively military camp was quiet that night. Zheng Xing was annoyed and ashamed, and left the barracks overnight and returned to Xingyang City to complain. In Zheng Xing's opinion, Zheng Yanqing, a disciple of a side branch, was so arrogant and cut his face, which was unbearable. When he returned home, as long as he told what had happened, the family would definitely make decisions for him and punish Zheng Yanqing.

His old lady was indeed very angry.

But Zheng Yuancong said coldly: "I have practiced martial arts, I can't even control a little doll, big brother Hero I, how did you come out of this shameless thing?" Sister-in-law, don't make trouble in the past, in my opinion, Zheng Yanqing is not wrong, even if this matter stabs the ears of the clan elder, it will be the face of the eldest brother. A group of bastards actually used the barracks as a place to play, and they deserved to be cut off. ”

Zheng Yuancong has always respected his brother!

Although Zheng Xing's wife said that her surname was hot, she didn't dare to refute Zheng Yuancong's opinion.

He could only comfort him, and then sent Zheng Xing back to the barracks.

"Uncle, what you said is true, but Zheng Yanqing is inevitably too arrogant."

"Arrogant?" Zheng Yuancong sneered: "I don't think he's arrogant. Sister-in-law, Zheng Xing is a good material, and the eldest brother has deep expectations for him. Later, I hope that he can be in charge of the scripture hall...... can be his current appearance, let alone in charge of the scripture hall, I'm afraid he won't even be able to keep this family business. Although Zheng Yanqing's actions are excessive, if you want me to say, it is only good for Zheng Xing, not harmful.

Sister-in-law, don't you want to think about it, Zheng Xing is going to go on the expedition.

If the general comes to see his virtue, then see that my Zheng clan has no rules at all...... If he goes, what military merit can he earn?

With Zheng Yanqing coming forward to rectify military discipline, the better this regiment is rectified, the more beneficial it will be to Zheng Xing. Don't forget, he is the leader of the sect. Let Zheng Yanqing make great contributions, the biggest share is also obtained by Zheng Xing. Why should you be his future? ”

As soon as Zheng Yuancong said this, Mrs. Lu immediately stopped nagging.

In her heart, although she was still a little uncomfortable, considering that this matter was good for Zheng Xing, even if she was uncomfortable, she had nothing to say.

After all, the truth is in Zheng Yanqing's hands...... *** Zheng Yanqing waited all night, but the Zheng family did not take any action.

This made him very disappointed, and he felt that his plan seemed to have failed!

After Zheng Xing came back, he never had any more conflicts with him. In the next two days, Zheng Yanqing went up and down the sect, and he was so miserable. Six more clan children withdrew from the clan. In their words, they would rather go home and be scolded to death than stay in the barracks. Zheng Yanqing's methods are too ruthless, and Zheng Xing seems to be very weak, what's the point of staying?

In fact, Yan Qing didn't practice too hard.

It's just that for the sons and brothers who are clothed and fed, it seems a little cruel.

But for Xiang Yong, the effect is different. In the past, the children of the clan didn't care about it, and regarded the military camp as a dormitory, and they were also working up and down. Now that the good word is gone, the sons and brothers can withdraw from the barracks, but the clan and the villagers can't quit.

So, they have to resign themselves to fate.

After three days, this damn sect has become a little more likely.

At least it won't be like what Zheng Yanqing saw when he first came, one by one is weak, as if he has been hollowed out by a woman. The waist is straight, and the stride is strong. Although there is no formation, the simple square formation and circular formation have already revealed some scale.

Three days later, the elders of the Zheng clan sent the sect to open.

Looking at those who used to be virtuous with themselves, but now they have become majestic and high-spirited, those who quit the barracks, began to feel a trace of remorse.

"Zheng Sima, you have to worry about these words!"

Zheng Xingpi smiled and said: "Now that we are going to Donglai, we still need someone to escort the grain and grass to ensure the supply of the sect." There is a way that the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved, and I think it is best for you to take over this task. In this way, you and Zheng Hongyi will lead 200 people to escort the grain and grass baggage, and I and the other soldiers and horses will set off later...... Before the twenty-second day of the lunar month, how about gathering in Donglai? ”

Okay, I didn't see you when I was training, do you come out to pick peaches now?

Zheng Hongyi was furious, and he got up to refute.

But Zheng Yanqing stopped him and arched his hand towards Zheng Xing: "Zheng Yanqing respects the order." ”

"Brother Yanqing, why do you have to promise him...... The people you have worked so hard to train will be taken over by him. Let's escort the grain and grass behind, and he went to Donglai to show off. Brother Yanqing, how can you tolerate this kind of thing? ”

"Hehe, to suffer a loss is to take advantage of it, and to be in the limelight is not necessarily a good thing."

Zheng Yanqing smiled, stretched out his hand to put his hand on Zheng Hongyi's shoulders and said: "He is the main general, if he wants to be in the limelight, let him go, let's just do our own thing." ”

In his heart, Zheng Yanqing was not happy to go on the expedition.

Now that it has become a baggage team, maybe you don't have to go to the battlefield, you can come back with a formality, why not?

Anyway, it is a war that is destined to be defeated, and the one who rushes to the front, dies the fastest. Yan Qing didn't mind, Zheng Xing died in battle.

According to the military system of the Sui Dynasty, he divided the 200 people into four teams.

A team of fifty people, with five fire captains. After the division of labor was completed, Zheng Yanqing and Zheng Hongyi set off. Unlike Zheng Xing's infinite scenery, no one paid attention to the baggage and horses, and after quietly driving out of the barracks, he embarked on a journey to Donglai.

It was early winter, and Heluo ushered in the first snow since the beginning of winter.

The snow wasn't too heavy, but it made the roads muddy and difficult to navigate. Along the way, Zheng Yanqing was very careful, preferring to take a long detour rather than take that shortcut. Nowadays, the situation in Henan (not the current Henan, but south of the Yellow River) is not peaceful, and from Xingyang to Donglai, you have to pass through many bandit areas. The bandits roared their horses, and the noise became more and more serious. Zheng Yanqing had to be more careful.

But in this way, the speed will naturally slow down a lot.

When I arrived at Ye County (the seat of Donglai County, now Ye County, Shandong), it was past the winter solstice.

Laihu'er took the soldiers and horses who had arrived in Ye County in advance and the children of the sect, set off from Laizhou Bay, and took a sea boat to Shabei City to assemble.

Zheng Xing naturally couldn't wait for Zheng Yanqing to come over and set off with Laihu'er.

The official of the Sui Dynasty who stayed in Ye County was Zhou Fashang, the deputy head of the navy. He was specially responsible for receiving the children of various sects, and then went to Shabei City to assemble. Although Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty ordered the construction of 300 Wuya warships, the number of the Sui Dynasty's naval army this time was as much as 70,000.

There were 10,000 sailors recruited from the south of the Jianghuai River.

In addition, there were 30,000 crossbowmen and 30,000 platoon pullers recruited from Lingnan. The so-called platoon pickler is a unique type of military in the Lingnan region. One hand holds a shield and the other a short spear. They are good at mountain warfare, but they are also suitable for field warfare, and they are the elite men and horses of Lingnan.

It is said that in this Eastern Crusade, Emperor Yang of Sui raised the country's troops.

Not only the left and right twelve guards and horses were dispatched, but also the villagers from all over the country, and even the planning slang, all participated in the battle.

Among them, Ningyue County was too guarded, and the slang handsome Ning Changzhen led his troops to come. However, he did not appear in Ye County, but went straight to Zhuo County and listened to orders under Yang Guang's account.

Zhou Fashang, whose name is Demai, was born in a family of Jiangmen, and he was also a famous general during the Great Cause.

When he saw Zheng Yanqing, he was very enthusiastic.

He immediately ordered someone to arrange a place to live, and said to Zheng Yanqing: "The general has gone to Shabei City to train his troops, and let me meet you here." Now, none of the ships heading to Shape City have returned, so we will not be able to send you to Shape City to assemble for a while.

Please Zheng Gongzi wait here first, there are a lot of sect groups that have come to report recently, and when the sea ship returns, I will immediately arrange for you to cross the sea to assemble. ”

Zheng Yanqing didn't care, but Zheng Hongyi, who was quite unconvinced.

"Why did Zheng Xing go to Shabei City first?"

After returning to his residence, he complained stupidly: "Brother Yanqing, I just said that guy is uneasy and kind. You see, the sect that we have worked so hard to cultivate has now become his swaggering capital. arranged for us to escort the baggage, but he ran to Shabei City to grab the merit. ”

When Zheng Yanqing heard this, he couldn't help laughing!

"Grab the credit?"

He put his arms around Zheng Hongyi and said softly: "Hongyi, you remember, sometimes rushing too far forward may not be a good thing. Remember the stories I told you? Thinking about it carefully, Mr. Kong Ming has always used his pen to plan and move, so he has taken the lead everywhere. Sometimes, it's not bad to strike later, he is in a hurry to grab the credit, let him go, it's ours, and he won't be able to run. ”

Zheng Hongyi is about the same age as Yan Qing.

In terms of household registration, he is a few days older than Yanqing...... However, he has always trusted Yanqing's words very much. Since Yan Qing said so, although he felt uncomfortable, he didn't scratch anymore.

The next day, Yan Qing had just finished practicing the horse lance and was about to go back to the room to rest.

Zheng Hongyi hurriedly ran over and shouted: "Yanqing, brother Yanqing, another sect has arrived in Ye County, let's go and see the excitement." ”

Yan Qing handed the horse lance to Xiong Dahai and asked curiously, "Which sect is here again?" ”

"Well, I heard it's the Lingnan Feng family."

"Lingnan Feng?"

"It is the great-grandson of Mrs. Qian Guo, the son of Feng An, the general of Zuo Wuwei. I just heard that the guy came with a thousand hooked scythes. ”

Hook Scythe?

Zheng Yanqing was stunned, but he was a little more interested.

Mrs. Qian Guo is the famous Mrs. Xian in later generations. During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, this Lady Xian single-handedly created the tranquility of Lingnan, and during the period of Emperor Wen of Sui, there was a rebellion in Lingnan. It was Mrs. Xian who led her troops to surrender to the Sui Dynasty after quelling the rebellion, and she was a woman with a very legendary surname.

However, in the second year of Renshou, Mrs. Qian Guo died of illness while inspecting Hainan, and Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian resigned for ten days.

Zheng Yanqing has great respect for Mrs. Xian.

So he said to Zheng Hongyi: "Since we are the children of Mrs. Qianguo, we might as well go and greet it, and by the way, meet the Feng family hook sickle soldiers in the south of the Megatron Mountains." ”
