Liu Liangzuo, Gao Jie, and Huang Degong had to give up their men and horses and bring hundreds of personal soldiers to Nanjing because they were not down-to-earth or had ghosts in their hearts, but they had always been careful to be wiped out by Cao Yue's means.

Huang Degong did not do much to lose his heart, so he was relatively calm, and after handing over the imperial military affairs, he also rushed to Nanjing at a slow speed. And Liu Liangzuo and Gao Jie tried to slow down as much as possible, and the two walked next to each other, ready to carry something together.

However, Huang Degong, who arrived in Nanjing first, was not summoned by anyone, so he was not allowed to enter the city of Nanjing, and let him wait at a post house outside the city to listen to the orders of the imperial court. This made Huang Degong very depressed and very puzzled, but finally accepted it.

He also had to accept it, because this post house, which was at least twenty miles away from the city of Nanjing, was surrounded by a force of thousands of horses.

Finally, when Gao Jie and Liu Liangzuo arrived in Nanjing together, the three were allowed to enter the city. But their own soldiers could not be brought, and each of them was only allowed to bring a maximum of five personal soldiers, and the three of them were of course furious when they found out, but after seeing the situation clearly and knowing that there were at least thousands of troops in their vicinity, they gave up all resistance and obediently obeyed the arrangement.

None of them are stupid people, they know that this is Cao Yue's arrangement, the purpose is to provoke them, if they overreact, then the army that surrounds them can take the opportunity to move and eliminate them, and they will also smash a bunch of charges on them.

At this time, forbearance is the most important thing, and maybe showing weakness can be exchanged for peace in the future.

When Huang Degong, Gao Jie, and Liu Liangzuo were allowed to enter the city, it was already the end of December at the end of the year, and the New Year was about to begin. A heavy snowfall decorated the ancient capital into a world covered in silver, but Huang Degong, Gao Jie, Liu Liangzuo and others did not feel the beauty of the snow scene at all, they felt the boundless cold. In the city of Nanjing, as in previous years, there was a lively New Year's Festival. Although it is said that the national disaster is at the head, Emperor Chongzhen is newly mourned, and it is impossible for the imperial court to hold celebrations. But the common people still have to celebrate the New Year. Purchasing New Year's goods, excitement is inevitable. Nanjing's Qinhuai River is still drunk and golden, and it is completely different from the chaotic appearance of the north. It's just that everything is not attractive to the three of them, and what they are most worried about is what kind of dismount Cao Yue will give them.

They didn't think that Cao Yue would kill them, after all, they didn't do anything to commit a capital crime, and this time they didn't disobey and disrespect Liu Zeqing like you. The national crisis is at the head, if after the imperial court gives them a new order. They gave up resistance and were at the mercy of Cao Yue, and if Cao Yue wanted to put them to death, then they had no choice. They believed that Cao Yue would not be so much, it was just to intimidate them.

As soon as the three of them entered the city with five personal soldiers, they were intercepted by a team of men, led by Cao Yue.

"A few adults, the New Year is approaching, and the military affairs of the court are busy during this time. I'm snubbing everyone, especially Lord Huang!" Cao Yue, who was sitting on the horse, saluted the three of them with fists, and then said to Huang Degong: "General Huang arrived in Nanjing first. But he was rejected from the city, and he really didn't want to go. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can just throw it at me Cao Yue, this is my personal arrangement. ”

Huang Degong, Gao Jie, and Liu Liangzuo were of course dissatisfied. But they didn't dare to send it, because this was Cao Yue's territory, and Cao Yue's words made them feel a little better. The anger will not be released, and several people also politely replied to Cao Yue, indicating that they understood. Even Huang Degong, who has always been rectum, also said polite words.

"It was my special arrangement to let you go into the city together, but today we will go to a place first and see some of the situation. After that, we'll go back to the city. After returning to the city, how about we sit down and talk about some things slowly, and have a good chat? Cao Yue said with a smile.

The three of them naturally agreed, how dare they disobey Cao Yue's meaning now? Born in the army, they naturally know the role of holding military power in troubled times, which is much more powerful than a civilian official's mouth, or directly decide your life and death.

Cao Yue didn't say anything, and took the three of them, escorted by a group of personal soldiers, and quickly walked towards the Yanziji camp from the other direction.

Huang Degong, Gao Jie, and Liu Liangzuo also saw for the first time the face of Cao Yue's side of the family army, which is rumored to have super combat effectiveness. Because Cao Yue led his own troops to break through Shengjing, destroyed Shengjing, and returned to Songshan safely, his army was deified by word of mouth from many people. Even Huang Degong, Gao Jie and Liu Liangzuo think that this team is very different.

Of course, they also really saw the difference of this team, whether it was equipment or overall coordination, it was much better than the elite army in the general sense, no need for verbal communication, as long as gestures and other movements, the meaning could be conveyed and the corresponding shape changes could be made. There is no need to observe too much, the three of them who have been in the military for many years are a little shocked.

The group of people quickly came directly to the Yanziji camp, although the weather was cold and the New Year was approaching, but the training of the newly recruited troops in the face-facing camp was still ongoing. Cao Yue didn't show too much, and stopped at the side of the training ground with his men and horses, quietly watching the soldiers train.

Huang Degong, Gao Jie, and Liu Liangzuo seemed to understand the meaning of Cao Yue bringing them to the Yanziji camp, and they all paid attention to the training of the soldiers. After watching it for a while, they also saw the doorway, and they couldn't help but marvel at the training of the new army in Nanjing.

There are all kinds of training in platoons, running, assassination, shooting, and equestrianism, but the training here is completely different from other armies, and they can't describe the difference in words. These training methods are something they have never seen before, and the requirements are so strict that they dare not think of it. In the end, Huang Degong couldn't help but ask: "Lord Cao, is the Nanjing New Army training like this, can the soldiers afford it?" ”

"Survival of the fittest, under the command of this general, there is no need for inferior soldiers, and there is no need for an army that is indiscriminately filled!" Cao Yue replied lightly.

He whispered another command to Cao Jing, the captain of the pro-soldier beside him, Cao Jing understood, and immediately went over and instructed Cao Neng, the chief general in charge of the training of the new army. After Cao Neng received the order, he immediately announced that he would immediately start an emergency training.

A hurried whistle sounded on the training ground, and the officers and men of the new army, who had been training in blocks, immediately began an emergency rally and formed their ranks in a very short time. Because the emergency training that imitated the actual combat was often carried out, there was no panic, and after a while, all the horses were assembled and quickly drove out of the camp.

Cao Yue ordered Huang Degong, Gao Jie, and Liu Liangzuo to observe the entire training process with him, and when the viewing was over, that is, when they officially talked about business. (To be continued.) )
