Chapter 134: Gathering
Yang Shen stood on a small hillside, quietly watching the soldiers who kept coming here not far away. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At about five o'clock in the morning, when a little light appeared in the sky, the left and right armies began to assemble here from their own military camps, and at about eight o'clock in the morning, after a full three hours, 100,000 people were finally assembled.
On his side, Zhang Facai and Zheng Chenggong were a little behind him and stood side by side with him.
Ye Lingbo, as one of his personal soldiers, also stood with him.
Zhang Facai and Zheng Chenggong are old men who have become elites, and Ye Lingbo's slightly disguised face can't hide from their eyes at all, but both of them pretend not to see it.
Zhang Facai was reluctant to have one heart with Yang Shen, of course he would not open his mouth to debunk Ye Lingbo, but Zheng Chenggong was unwilling to provoke Yang Shen because he had scruples.
Not far away, a middle-aged man and two old men stood there, always paying attention to Yang Shen's movements here.
They are Fang Huaxiang, Yang Xiaoshun, who was born in the Yang family, and Zhou Aiguo, who is from the Ye family.
Farther away, a young man in a bright yellow robe was standing there, holding a scroll of holy decrees in his hand, followed by more than a dozen palace guards, none other than the Great Prince.
He was ordered by the emperor to supervise the march of the army and read the decree at the same time, but at this time the army had not yet been assembled, and it was not yet time for him to appear.
Yang Shen smiled and said to Zhang Facai: "The speed at which Zuo Wuwei's army is assembled is good, and the old general is really good at managing the army. ’
"Hehe" Although he is a lot older, he is enough to be Yang Shen's grandfather, Zhang Facai is still very happy with Yang Shen's praise, from ancient times to the present, the subordinates will be happy with the affirmation of the superiors, which has nothing to do with the age of the superiors.
He waved his hand and said: "The general has won the award, this is the struggle of his subordinates, and the old man does not have much credit." ”
There is not much merit, that is, there is merit, Yang Shen laughed secretly in his heart, this old man is really shameless, if it weren't for Yang Caiqing in the barracks for him to take military discipline seriously, the soldiers of the Qingzhou Changfeng Legion, as the backbone of the whole army, have led a group of young people with ideals and ambitions in the army, just rely on you Zhang Facai, who was lucky enough to be selected by his grandfather as the spokesperson in the government army because of his auspicious name, Zuo Wuwei's army still doesn't know what it will look like, and what is the bad state of this army in the capital before?
Zheng Chenggong listened to it a little unpleasantly, by now, Zuo Wuwei's army had basically been assembled, and now it was standing neatly in the distance, although it was possible to see someone talking to each other, but it was obviously very restrained.
The Right Guards army is far from the same as the army, not only has the whole army not been able to assemble so far, but also the sergeants who have gathered here are all making loud noises, and although the officers are pressing, the effect is not very good.
Yang Shen saw all the performances of the Right Wuwei Army in his eyes, and he also knew the reason for this.
Although a group of truly powerful grassroots officers were selected in the Right Armed Guard Army yesterday in the way of fighting for strength, most of them are iron-blooded veterans from the Changfeng Legion, who have rich experience in warfare and are extremely familiar with the discipline of the army, but they have only a short time to get started, although they have had a lot of contact with their colleagues before becoming squad leaders and captains, but as their superiors, they have not even been able to manage them for half a day, and even if they have the best means, they cannot make any achievements in such a short period of time.
After waiting for about half an hour, the men and horses of the Right Wuwei army slowly gathered, and Yang Shen said to a few people: "Two old generals, let's go down." ’
Of course, Zhang Facai and Zheng Chenggong would not disobey Yang Shen, they both responded yes, and then slowly walked down the hillside with Yang Shen and came to the front of the 100,000 army.
Of course, it is said that it is a hundred thousand troops, but in fact, the two armies combined are only about 80,000 people.
Among them, 20,000 people were paid by the generals of Zuo Wuwei.
Ye Lingbo and the three Grandmaster masters who protected Yang Shen also followed.
When the soldiers of the two armies saw Yang Shen and the others walking down the hillside, they gradually became quieter after being noisy, and they all tried to stand up straight, looking a little more energetic.
Yang Shen nodded secretly in his heart, although these people are still a puddle of mud, they are not completely malleable, at least they know how to behave well in front of Shangguan.
He exhaled and said slowly: "Brothers, we are about to go out to the northern frontier together, go into battle to kill the enemy, protect the family and defend the country, from this moment on, our 80,000 army is the robe brothers on the battlefield, I hope you can work with me on the battlefield in the northern frontier and establish an invincible reputation." ”
Even if the eldest prince was not far away, Yang Shen did not shy away from the fact that the army was paid empty, and he didn't care that the eldest prince might be a little uneasy when he heard this.
With his own skills, he couldn't let his words be heard by a full 80,000 people at all, even if he used the strength to eat milk, 40,000 people was almost the limit, it was Fang Huaxiang who stretched out a palm behind him to hold against his vest, transmitting a pure and strong internal force, so that what he said could be heard clearly by all the soldiers here.
The reaction of the soldiers below was very cold, even if there were men and horses of the Changfeng Legion shouting in the army, there were not many people who responded to the peace.
Everyone was originally a little person who farmed and did business for the generals, and they just wanted their wives to live a peaceful life, who wanted to go to northern Xinjiang to shed blood?
If you can protect your family, there is no need to defend the country, that's not something that little people like yourself will think about, they are from the lowest level of the world, they are the kind of people who have been oppressed by the powerful, and almost no one has such lofty ideals.
Yang Shen was not surprised by their reaction at all, nor did he have any angry thoughts. If it were him, he wouldn't have cheered for such a statement that clearly wanted to kill him.
However, this was not what he really wanted to say, and after a slight pause, he spoke again: "Brothers, the reason why General Ben wants you to be invincible on the battlefield is not because I need much credit. I am honored as the Duke of Rongguo, and I have long been one of the most honorable people in this country, even if I win the war, what can I gain? I just want to come back alive, only if you can be invincible on the battlefield, can both you and I be better able to save your life! ’
At this time, many voices resounded among the soldiers, "Come back alive" and "Invincible", and these voices finally stirred up the emotions of the soldiers this time, and made them chant along. (To be continued.) )
