Chapter 137: The Time of the Review

The time is getting closer and closer to the day of the military parade set by Liu Hong, and the atmosphere in the West Park has become more and more tense, of course, there is no lack of excitement, after all, it is when the son is here today, for these people who are mostly just ordinary people, this is a big deal, but for several captains of the West Park Army, it is not so happy.

Although they both belong to the West Garden, the seven soldiers are not ordinary, there is always a difference between strength and weakness, and even if Liu Hong can't see that there must be someone around him who wants to be today, there must be someone who can understand it, once the strength is defined, then the treatment will naturally be different, and the strong will naturally get better treatment, there is no doubt about this.

And among the seven divisions other than Jian Shuo, especially the soldiers under Xu Ji's command are the most elite, after all, they have really been on the battlefield, and they are different from the recruits from the aura, and Xu Ji brought Luoyang to Luoyang are all the best soldiers under his command, so their ability does not need any doubt. Although the soldiers of the rest of the department looked down on these "hillbillies" who were not from Luoyang, they had to admit that the other party was stronger than themselves, and more importantly, the commander of these guys was the master of the court, and they didn't have the courage to provoke him.

The corporal under his command was Cao Cao, and the reason was very simple, only Cao Cao was really dedicated to training the soldiers, and it was not surprising that there was such a result. And Cao Cao's resume clearly states that he led his troops to fight, and his ability to fight with real swords and guns is by no means empty words. The soldiers naturally also recognized the ability of this former Jinan minister.

But what is surprising is that the third place among the seven soldiers of the West Garden is not Yuan Shao, who has the first prestige in the West Garden, which is an unexpected thing, according to common sense. This Yuan Benchu came out of the family of the fourth and third princes, and the protégés of the Yuan family are all over the world. Is it so unfamiliar with military affairs?

In the face of such doubts, Yuan Shao also had bitterness and couldn't speak, of course, not because he didn't know how to lead the troops. There is a reason for this. However, Yuan Shao can't say this reason, he can't make it public to the world, he Yuan Shao is negligent in training because of the intrigue with the horses for control of the Xiyuan Army, right? It's just a matter of complaining to your own people, so that outsiders know that it is he Yuan Shao who suffers, this Xiyuan is an army directly under the son of today, and it is a matter of course to be controlled by a horse, you Yuan Shao is not a relative of the emperor after all, why should you control this army? What's more, the soldiers under the command of the horses and you are still the most elite in the West Garden, Yuan Shao, how can you compete with him for military power?

So in this way, Yuan Shao can only swallow this breath, otherwise he will be unlucky. Yuan Shao is very sober, although he is criticized now, as long as he can seize control of the West Garden, it is worth exchanging these small prices, and these criticisms are not enough to have any impact on him, and the fame accumulated in the past is enough to resolve these small waves.

And of course Yuan Shao wouldn't have guessed that this was Xu Ji's secret evil, at least that's what he thought. But this time Yuan Shao guessed wrong, dealing with Yuan Shao like this is obviously not Xu Ji's style, this kind of innocuous and easy to startle the snake idea Xu Ji will never use. In fact, the person who did this was Feng Fang, and Feng Fang's purpose was very simple, he was purely to disgust Yuan Shao.

Xu Ji didn't pay much attention to Yuan Shao at this time. The big enemy in front of him is He Jin, West Park is now a whole, at least temporarily, the existence of West Park at least Xu Ji's status is guaranteed. It is better to keep the West Garden than to intrigue with Yuan Shao, which led to the annexation of the West Garden by He Jin. Xu Ji has no good impression of He Jin, this is not because of how He Jin Xu Ji, judging from the current situation, Xu Ji is constantly taking advantage of He Jin. It is precisely because of this that Xu Ji knows very well that He Jin is bound to deal with him, so Xu Ji simply didn't think about how to ease the relationship. It has reached the point of hostility, and no countermeasures are useless.

And Yuan Shao's trouble can only be postponed for the time being, compared to He Jin, the enemy who is close at hand. Yuan Shao's threat seems more distant, at least before the military parade in the West Garden, Xu Ji and Yuan Shao's purpose is the same, Yuan Shao is confident that Xu Ji will be squeezed out of the West Garden, so he will never allow the West Garden, his "bag", He Jin to take it, this is why Xu Ji is not afraid of He Jin.

It is an exaggeration to say that Yuan Shao can be said to be the leader of today's scholars, although this is brought to him by his family background, but these things are already the advantages imprinted on Yuan Shao, so in the face of He Jin, Xu Ji has to rely on the strength of this Yuan Benchu, and with the existence of Yuan Shao in terms of public opinion, He Jin can hardly oppress Liu Hong to compromise through this aspect, if it is strong, then the eunuch party is not vegetarian, which solves He Jin's problem.

But after all, this is just a plan, it's hard to say that there will be no changes, after dealing with the matter of the West Garden, there are more troublesome things waiting for Xu Ji to deal with, and the matter of holding the position of Jinwu is probably the thing that angers He Jin the most, if He Jin merges the West Garden, it is difficult to say whether he will only find himself to liquidate, and it is really difficult to say whether Liu Hong can keep himself at that time, and even if he can protect himself, it is unknown whether he is willing to pay that price, so Xu Ji has to make plans early.

Of course, there are still some forces that can be used, Zhang Rang will not ignore the position of ruling Jinwu, and with the help of the eunuchs and the party, the pressure he faces is naturally greatly reduced, but he is afraid that his reputation will be stinky, although this price is still within the range of Xu Ji's bearing, but obviously there are still considerations whether this is worth it or not, if it is possible, Xu Ji of course does not want to have anything to do with the eunuchs, this is not a good thing. The precedent is Zhang Wen, who is still fighting against the Qiang people at the border, this adult naturally has the ability, but it is just because he was implicated in the eunuchs and was almost unanimously criticized by the scholars, Xu Ji didn't want to end up like this, not to mention that his identity as a concubine was afraid that he would be "favored" far beyond Zhang Wen.

And no matter how troublesome it is, it will still come after all, this is something that cannot be avoided no matter what, and doing a good job in the moment is what Xu Ji cares about the most at this time.

The day of the parade has arrived, and it is particularly noisy in the West Garden early in the morning, and the colonel in the West Garden is in chaos, only the soldiers of Xu Ji's department have stood in the phalanx early, and this side will inevitably make the rest of the soldiers look at them like fools. However, Xu Ji's arrangement was also considered for a long time, although Liu Hong did not tell him about the procedures of the military parade, it was difficult to guarantee that no spies would arrive first. Although it may not be useful to be prepared in advance, there is nothing wrong with leaving a good impression.

Naturally, the parade did not start so early, but the time of the drill began at this time. Although Liu Hong did not arrive, Xu Ji began to train the soldiers first, which is no coincidence. Cao Cao and Xu Ji seemed to have the same idea, and after Xu Ji's side started, Cao Cao's side soon began to practice.

Cao Cao's psychology is naturally not as complicated as Xu Ji, the reason why Cao Cao did this is only because the soldiers in his battalion are already practicing at ordinary times, and Xu Ji is a little "pretending", after all, the rest of the captains have trained soldiers earlier, but his battalion has never practiced since he arrived in Luoyang. It made the soldiers of Xiyuan have a lot of complaints about Xu Ji, and even many soldiers are quite envious of the soldiers in Xu Ji's camp. Of course, the sergeants of Xu Jiying's camp were just smiling, of course Xu Ji did not personally train the soldiers, and these soldiers under Xu Ji's command knew very well that their lord had not tossed them. But Gao Shun trained them, and it was really to death.

And the reason why Xu Ji limited the training of his subordinates was also because Luoyang was in danger, and it was difficult to say if there was an emergency that needed this elite soldier in his hands. And today, Xu Ji is not going to hide it anymore, so that the recruits in Xiyuan can see what the elite is like.

Gao Shun's training has always been like purgatory, but for all the soldiers trapped in the camp have become accustomed to it, and even become a memory in their bones, all things that seem impossible to ordinary people are almost as ordinary as eating and drinking for them, and running with sandbags is almost the easiest.

But this method still shocked the rest of the soldiers in the West Garden, especially Chun Yuqiong. Only now did he realize what a stupid thing he had done, and the soldiers trained in this way were almost a pack of ten eggs against his gang of recruits, and fortunately the other party didn't do anything at the time, otherwise he might have been planted in it.

Of course, what they see is nothing more than the simplest. There is no training place in the West Garden, and all some special training methods cannot be displayed, but just ordinary mounted archery and formation formations are enough to open the eyes of this group. Same formation. Cao Cao's soldiers needed close to a stick of incense to complete, while Xu Ji's soldiers were enough to complete it within ten breaths. This is almost dozens of times ahead of Cao Cao's speed. This may seem unimportant, but it is enough to reflect the reaction of an army in the event of a surprise attack, and the faster the reaction, the fewer losses there is.

Just when everyone in the West Garden was dumbfounded. A drum beat interrupted the noisy school field, and with the silence of the school field, there was a strange voice of Yin and Yang: "The captains of the West Garden are here to greet you!" ”

When Xu Ji heard this, he secretly said in his heart that the main master had finally come, and then signaled Gao Shun to pause and left alone to go to the entrance of the West Park to pick up the shelf. The West Garden is not far from the palace, but Liu Hong is still here with a full car, although this is extravagant and wasteful, but it is undoubtedly a good way to calm the people's hearts, of course, Xu Ji looks down on this kind of whitewashing of the peace. However, he doesn't know his suffering, and Xu Ji doesn't know Liu Hong's helplessness, so he can't comment on it much.

At the entrance of the West Garden, the rest of the people were already waiting, and Jian Shuo, who had been showing up in the West Garden for a long time, also arrived in the West Garden before Liu Hong, and was also waiting here at this time, he saw Xu Ji coming, so he pulled Xu Ji to the side and said: "Horse, today the West Garden is tied to your hands, although the slave maid is in the palace, but I have also heard of it, the rest of the West Garden is not enough to rely on, but the horse is the elite who has followed the left and right since Chen Liu." His Majesty also ordered the slaves and maids to bring a message, and no matter what happens today, the horses must go all out. ”

When Xu Ji heard this, he couldn't help but secretly scolded Liu Hong in his heart for not having a backache when he stood and spoke, the pressure of the seven soldiers in the West Garden had to be borne by him alone, this is simple, but it is not so easy? And there is also a guy who came with Liu Hong, Xu Ji is really unwilling to bear this burden, and Jian Shuo saw Xu Ji's face was difficult to say, and he approached Xu Ji's ear and said such a sentence: "Your Majesty has also brought the holy decree of appointing the concubine as the ruling Jinwu, could it be that the concubine wants to make his position as the ruling Jinwu unworthy of his name?" ”

Xu Ji's face changed even more when he heard this, Liu Hong didn't know what he ate and spoiled his brain, at this time, sending himself to the position of ruling Jinwu would not only not change his predicament, but also make himself the target of public criticism, and once something went wrong in Xiyuan, he would be even more pointed out by a thousand people. At that time, I am afraid that Liu Hong will not be able to save himself. So Xu Ji asked Jian Shuo with an ugly face: "The unknown commander knows that the position of holding Jinwu is a hot potato?" His Majesty wants to put Xu Ji to death? ”

Xu Ji has already committed the crime of great disrespect, and this crime can judge him for the crime of punishing the nine clans. It's just that Jian Shuo also replied with a wry smile when he heard this: "How can Your Majesty not know the suffering of the horse? It's just that now the general is pressing forward step by step, and there is no better way for His Majesty to do it. What's more, the horse is his own person after all, and it is worth it to regain control of the Northern Army for His Majesty. The horse can work hard, the slave and the maid are all here, and the horse is self-respecting. After saying this, Jian Shuo left first, but Xu Ji's face was iron-blue. Liu Hong thought about it, but it was Xu Ji who blocked the arrow for him, and he was naturally extremely happy to take back control of the Northern Army, but did this faint monarch think about his own situation? He Jin's original plan to annex Xiyuan was almost ruined by himself, and now he has lost control of the Northern Army. I am afraid that I will offend He Jin too hard, and I don't know how many secret arrows have been aimed at me in secret.

Thinking of this, Xu Ji couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, Liu Hong had a good calculation, he Xu Ji went to block the arrow, and the benefits were collected by himself. But Xu Ji is actually so easy to get along with? At this time, Xu Ji had secretly made up his mind that the Northern Army and Xiyuan themselves would never be handed back to Liu Hong, and it was difficult to say whether this faint monarch would cross the river and demolish the bridge after using him, there were countless precedents for this kind. And it is not difficult to force Liu Hong to not recover the West Garden and the Northern Army, don't forget He Jin and the Ten Standing Servants. The so-called self-respect, Xu Ji is a person who knows this well, Liu Hong wants Xu Ji to die instead, then Xu Ji can only let Liu Hong taste this taste in turn.

And after deciding to do so, Xu Ji was calm. Anyway, Liu Hong will eat the bitter fruit by himself, and Xu Ji will not be angry with this kind of person. So Xu Ji also immediately returned to the entrance of the West Garden, and Cao Cao smiled kindly when he saw Xu Ji returning. Xu Ji also smiled and returned the salute, and then signaled with his eyes that he had something to discuss, and Cao Cao also nodded in understanding. Subsequently. Liu Hong's grand team appeared in his sight.

Although Liu Hong has no way to govern the country and is incompetent in governing the army. I don't know anyone, but when it comes to luxury, it's a must, but in just ten miles from the palace to the West Garden, he has also made a big battle, but Xu Ji is not the slightest interested in caring about these famous halls of this faint monarch, he only saw Liu Hong's car driving the man on the horse on the side mountain, although this person is a gorgeous armor, but it can't hide the vulgar atmosphere on his body at all, this person, presumably He Jin.

It can be seen that He Jin's appearance today is also quite exquisite, although Xu Ji can't see anything particular about this flashy armor, but since this guy is dressed like this, there must be something meaningful, but for Xu Ji, it is like scratching his head in front of a blind man, he can't see it at all, the only thing that caught Xu Ji's attention is that there is another car after Liu Hong's car, Xu Ji secretly said in his heart that it is not good, I am afraid that it is not Queen He who can follow Liu Hong to the West Garden, but his wife Yining, who has not passed the door.

Xu Ji couldn't help but scold Liu Hong even more shamelessly in his heart, in order to force himself, he couldn't even take care of the relationship between father and daughter, is this emperor's position really so important? Xu Ji really didn't understand what Liu Hong planned in his heart, but it is not difficult for Yining to explain Liu Hong's thoughts here, but he is afraid that this faint monarch will carry two holy decrees with him, one of which is the holy decree that he will be promoted to Jinwu and marry on a certain day after he keeps the West Garden. And the other way is that you don't have to guess, because you can't keep Xiyuan, and then you will be demoted, revoke your marriage, and even directly want your own life.

Now Xu Ji is relieved, he doesn't even have a choice at this time, Liu Hong is going to force himself to die for him no matter what, this faint gentleman is only afraid that he is confused. However, the hatred in Xu Ji's heart also dissipated for a while, how can he be angry with this kind of person who only has power in his heart? Today's account Xu Ji will inevitably be recovered, and as for when, it will be discussed at that time. The first thing to face is He Jin, who is already close, and Liu Hong, who is smiling.

Liu Hong naturally didn't know that Xu Ji had already regarded him as an enemy in his heart, according to his thoughts, Xu Ji was no matter how capable he was, he was only a sixteen-year-old boy after all, and he smashed his hat with Jinwu, where is there any possibility of not serving himself? It's just that Liu Hong probably forgot how Xu Ji regained Wancheng back then, and Xu Wenlie's ability to understand people's hearts is not a lie.

Seeing Xu Ji kneeling in front of him, Liu Hong also smiled and said: "Wen Lie, get up, you and I are a family, why are you so polite?" Xu Ji didn't look up, he was afraid that his anger would not be able to restrain himself for a while so that Liu Hong could see it, so he bowed his head and replied: "The courtesy of the monarch and the minister cannot be messed up, the minister is the captain of the military academy under the West Garden in the public, and the son-in-law of the majesty in the private side, how can the etiquette be messed up?" Your Majesty, please enter the camp to inspect the soldiers of the West Garden. ”

Hearing Xu Ji's words, Liu Hong was overjoyed in his heart, it seemed that his cheap son-in-law was very good, so it seemed that the things that Jian Shuo explained must be in place, thinking of this, Liu Hong said with a smile: "Wen Lie, I also brought you a surprise today." Look over there, Wen Lie, your fiancée, that is, the pearl of my palm, is in it, and after today's military parade, it will be the time for the two of you to get married, but don't blame me for saying it first, if Wen Lie's soldiers can't enter the eyes of the general, I'm afraid that this marriage will not be consummated. ”

At this time, Xu Ji's teeth were already clenched, and then he said word by word: "Please check with the general!" (To be continued......)
