"Damn it...... Every day is over the mountains and mountains, there are poisonous insects everywhere, he is tired and half dead, but he has to pay attention to who he thinks he is, or the prince and grandson who live in the city

Miao Zhongliang scolded and glanced back.

The five-foot road circled back and forth, rugged and difficult, and Ye Chang's 30,000 soldiers took 20 days to arrive at the Nanning Prefecture Governor's Mansion from Maandu. Originally, these soldiers had suffered defeats, their morale was low, and they had not yet been fully rested, so they came to do this long journey again, along the way, the morale of the army was low, if it weren't for Ye Chang's personal soldiers being strong enough, I was afraid that they would have fled long ago.

Rao is Ye Chang worked hard in every possible way, and when he arrived in Nanning Prefecture, he also had to rest and recuperate, and he couldn't go west immediately.

Ye Chang knew very well that the epidemic was prone to during the march, which was related to the lack of hygiene at this time. Therefore, he paid special attention to the food hygiene of soldiers. Training or anything, he didn't force it, but ate and drank Lazar, staring at it almost every day.

For example, every time you march, you have to dig a marching pit, and all urine and urine must be solved in the marching pit, and if you dare to be in the water source or field, you will have to be punished. The small ones do some chores, and the big ones serve the military sticks. Like Miao Zhongliang, because he urinated on the side of the stream, he was taken by Ye Chang and whipped the five army sticks fiercely.

"Who makes the family an official, you are a soldier, if you are not convinced, you go and take that kid down and beat the five army sticks" The one who came to fetch water with Miao Zhongliang was still a punished sergeant named Guan Gao, and he muttered.

The water was brought from a mountain stream, and they were to pour it into a large marching pot and then boil it. Anyone who dares to drink before the water is boiled will be punished.

"You said that our ambassador, is it that the son has been a brother for a long time, will he fight?"

"I look at him, he doesn't look like a person who can fight, don't go to the battlefield and pee his pants in fright...... Poof, I don't know if he can still be so majestic by then."

The two of them spoke loudly, and they both ate and laughed.

"Ahem"

Just as Miao Zhongliang was about to say something, he heard a cough behind him, and when the two of them looked back, they saw Cai Ming, the battalion secretary in the army, walking over with his back hand.

The two of them squeezed their eyebrows and made no noise. Everyone knows that this Mr. Cai was invited by Ambassador Ye, even if he is not Ambassador Ye's confidant, the relationship between the two is extraordinary.

This situation made Cai Ming quite worried: Wang Zhongsi said that this Ambassador Ye acted with confidence, but why was he so reckless here as a hairy guy who had just entered the battle?

According to the rules of Wang Zhonghe's tent, he patrolled the camp three times a day, listened to the conversations of the soldiers, and found that the complaints and strange things were getting more and more day by day, and the resentment was getting bigger and bigger day by day. Coupled with the fact that Ye Chang seems to have some unreliable rules in the army, if this continues, the possibility of mutiny is getting bigger and bigger.

"Let's go and talk to Ambassador Ye...... Don't say no, it's like this in the army. If he doesn't listen

Cai Ming was a little hesitant, if Ye Chang didn't listen, what should he do?

He is not a decisive person, so under Wang Zhongji, he only acted as a staff member of Guan Wenmu, and when he came to Ye Chang's side, he also used his talents to manage the army's Chinese books - it just so happened that Li Bai was out of character and was really not serious about daily documents.

He walked past the two grumbling creeps and headed for the barracks.

"Why aren't I allowed to enter the city?" While he was still outside the barracks, he heard someone shouting indignantly: "After trekking for so long, if you don't enter the city to rest, the sergeants are afraid that they will make trouble."

"It's Wang Tianyun" Hearing this voice, Cai Ming knew who was talking to Lu Dao, it was Wang Tianyun, the Marquis of Duyu. The generals in the army, with his high official position, and bravery, have always been conceited, and have been in the Jiannan Army for a long time, so he has the heart of a soldier.

"Marquis Wang Yu, is this your personal intention, or the intention of all the sergeants in the army?"

"It's really the meaning of the whole army" Wang Tianyun looked at Ye Chang, his face was respectful, but he was a little disdainful in his heart

He has also heard of the name of Tingchang, but most of them are related to how to make money, as for Ye Chang's deeds in Liaodong, unless it is someone like Wang Zhonghei who pays special attention to him, otherwise who cares about things that are thousands of miles away Therefore, in the eyes of Wang Tianyun, Ye Chang is a person who does not know how to pretend to understand, he came to the army to serve as a soldier and horse envoy, and it was purely a big man in the court who lost his mind

"Marquis Wang Yu, you are not in the army for more than one day, you should know that the military discipline is strict, and you must not commit it lightly. Tell me for yourselves, what will happen if I go into the city? ”

"This"

"An army is like an ape, if it is indulged, it will cause more disaster than bandits." Ye Chang's voice reached Cai Ming's ears: "Now that our army is deep in the wilderness, grain and grass supplies are delivered, and wounded soldiers and sick are sent out, all of which must pass through the land controlled by the barbarians. Let the soldiers into the city, and how will they not commit prostitution? At that time, in order to win the hearts of the barbarians, I will have to cut down the plunderers for justice, Marquis Yu, are you for them, or for them? ”

Wang Tianyun's heart sank, and he screamed twice, not knowing what to say.

He saw that Ye Chang was young and not a general in the army, and he arrived late to lead the troops but drove the troops forward, so he was obviously not familiar with military affairs. Therefore, he has some selfish intentions, on the surface he is asking for the sergeant's life, but in fact, he wants to invite the army, if Ye Chang's army is defeated, he can hold the army, not to mention defeat into victory, at least he can protect himself.

"You are the Marquis of Duyu, you should be in charge of military discipline in the army, but you are conniving at them to kill themselves, Marquis Wang Yu, this is in my account, I said this, do you understand what the soldiers will think if these words are heard by the soldiers?

Wang Tianyun was silent.

"They will think that you are jealous of my young and senior officials, and they will think that you are using them to offend the chief officer, and at that time, there may be a cold arrow behind you above the military array." Ye Chang said coldly: "Your little caution, it's better to put it away"

Wang Tianyun naturally couldn't be persuaded by these few words, he secretly scolded in his heart, no wonder this kid can climb to such a high office, at least this mouth is not comparable to a military general like him.

"Cough" Cai Ming heard this outside, and coughed lightly, alarming the two people in the tent.

At this time, the atmosphere in the tent was a little awkward, but his arrival broke this atmosphere. Ye Chang glanced at him and said with a smile: "Zhihua, there is one thing that you have to work for, I have ordered Nanning Prefecture to offer cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs, plus the ones brought by the army, let's reward the three armies today."

Cai Ming listened to the opportunity and said: "The soldiers are tired from running around, and they are really unbearable to fight, and rewarding the three armies is the grace of the ambassadors." Why don't the ambassadors rest here for a few days, and choose another auspicious day to go on the expedition, so that the soldiers will be recuperated and recuperate, and when the war is overwhelmed, they will surely return with a great victory."

When he said this, Ye Chang had a smile on his face.

This Cai Ming is really still a talker, Wang Zhongsi recommended him over, presumably because he was afraid that Ye Chang would be young and vigorous, and he would win repeatedly, and he would be a little arrogant.

Wang Zhonghei is a person who is dedicated to the country, but it is a pity that he cannot use him for the time being.

"What Mr. Zhihua said is, then rest here for five days, and after five days, I will personally Buji, and then send troops"

"Five Days ......"

Cai Ming's mouth squirmed, and finally he didn't say anything more, with the current morale of the army, where is five days enough?

Although Ye Chang has also carried out some rectification of this army, the time is still short, and it has been defeated before, and the army's morale is unstable. Don't say that five days, even ten days and a half months, may not be able to save the hearts of the soldiers of this army.

With Cai Ming's experience, a month of rectification is the minimum, and during this month, Ye Chang still has to eat and live with the soldiers, ask them about their sufferings, and know their character, so that he can barely command them in wartime.

However, now that Ye Chang is on the rise, it is not the time to persuade, Cai Ming can only follow Wang Tianyun out of the account.

After coming out, Wang Tianyun glanced at him, and sighed suddenly: "Cai Yingji is a person who knows things, but our soldiers and horses don't seem to be reliable."

"Maybe Ambassador Ye has his own plans......"

"Have a plan? What can he do in just five days, unless the ghosts and gods help, what other means can he have to revive the morale of this unstable army? This attack was originally a matter of urgency, and I don't know what he was thinking......"

When Wang Tianyun said this, he remembered one thing in his heart, it was rumored that this Ambassador Ye had only gotten married a few days before he came to the south, could it be that he was thinking about finishing this battle earlier and going back to hug the beauty?

Of course, I can only hide this in my heart, but I dare not say it.

In the five days, Ye Chang was busy running around the camp, especially the military doctors he brought, and built a military medical hall in the army. And a rumor gradually spread among the sergeants: this young Ye Jun horse envoy is said to have been taught divine skills by immortals, and those military doctors with clever means are all his disciples.

"Relying only on these military doctors, I'm afraid it's not enough to ⊥ the sergeants to their hearts." Discovering this, Cai Ming thought to himself: "You still have to persuade, don't rush to the expedition." ”

But in the past few days, he has been made by Ye Changzhi to turn around, and he is so busy that he can't be idle at all. Five days, in a blink of an eye, to the day of departure, when he wanted to persuade again, but saw Ye Chang said with interest: "I heard that there is a monument to the Ji Gong erected after Zhuge Kongming subdued Meng Shu here, Kong Ming is a generation of heroes, died as a god, and today's army is about to be sent out, I should go to worship it, in order to seek the protection of Zhuge Kongming's spirit in the sky."

"Huh?" Hearing that Ye Chang didn't ask the sergeant to ask for ghosts and gods, Cai Ming was dumbfounded.

He came back to his senses and was about to be persuaded hard, but Li Bai next to him grabbed him: "Don't worry, Ye Shiyi's actions have always had a basis." ”

"But no matter how much basis there is, you can't pin your hopes on ghosts and gods."

"And look at his actions, if there is really anything wrong, I will persuade you together." Li Bai also felt that something was wrong at this time, and said immediately.

Ye Chang sacrificed the monument erected by Zhuge Liang, not with a few people, but to announce the whole army. Zhuge Liang's original Ji Gong Monument was erected in the city of Wei County, and now because hundreds of years have passed, although the monument is still there, the county seat has been changed, and the monument has also been moved to a temple. The temple is surrounded by emptiness, Ye Chang put the army in the distance, and led thousands of people to the temple to worship, and now there is a sacrifice of four calluses and eight pairs. The sergeants seemed very excited when they saw him dancing alone, and they all felt a little strange.

"Do you think our general is helping a man?" Seeing this, Miao Zhongliang couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"The elephant is a bit like it, I heard that he has been instructed by the immortals." Guan Gao said suspiciously: "Could it be that he really has some strange skills and can get the help of ghosts and gods?" If you really get the help of ghosts and gods, and you can be protected by Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, then there is no need to worry about this battle. ”

Most of these soldiers are from Jiannan Shudi. The people of Jiannan Shu are obscene and worship ghosts and gods, and Zhuge Liang has a great influence in it. Ye Chang's actions can be regarded as favoritous, but a general like Wang Tianyun still didn't think so when he saw this scene.

Although the soldiers will have a little closeness to him because of Ye Chang's respect for Kong Ming, they can expect to be supported by the whole army at once, unless Zhuge Liang really appears.

Wang Tianyun was thinking like this in his heart, Ye Chang burned the sacrificial text over there, and seemed to be very excited, and shouted: "This expedition to the Southern Zhao, I know that you are quite unimpressed, especially before Xian Yu Zhongtong's incompetence, resulting in defeat, you suffer from this setback, but our army will be the same, but you can rest assured, I am completely different from Xian Yu Zhongtong."

He boasted like this, but no one believed it, but it made the morale that had just risen a little sink again. After all, if you can't come up with something practical, where can you obey?

Ye Chang didn't seem to realize this, and he shouted loudly: "Don't say anything else, I have the will of the saint, and I have the blessing of ghosts and gods, even Zhuge Kongming's spirit in the sky, and it will also help me...... Don't you believe me? ”

Everyone whispered, some laughed dumbly, and in short, they looked at him like a clown. Ye Chang seemed to be angry, he raised his arms and shouted: "Since you don't believe it, let the gods decide whether this expedition is auspicious or unlucky...... Come on, get the money"

Shanzhi turned around and left, Li Bai panicked here, stepped forward and said: "Ambassador, the ghosts and gods say, there is nothing and ethereal, you can't do this."

Cai Ming next to him was also anxious: "If it's unlucky, it will hurt my morale, ambassador, please think twice"

Ye Chang smiled and said confidently: "I am ordered by the Son of Heaven to hang the people and fight crimes, and I will be blessed by God." You can rest assured...... Okay, here comes the money."

Shanzhi brought a cloth bag, which was full of green money. Ye Chang took out one and displayed it in front of everyone, one side was a word, and the other side was a flower, and then he said loudly: "Fifty green coins here, if the gods bless me, our army will win this time, then all the fifty green coins will be on the ground, if one is a flower surface, then the ghost will alert me, and I will withdraw the army back to the division."

As soon as these words came out, Mo said that Li Bai and Cai Ming, that is, Wang Tianyun was in a hurry, and shouted that he couldn't do it. But it was too late, Ye Chang poured the cloth bag, and all the fifty green coins fell

Everyone's eyes were immediately fixed on these fallen green coins, although it was impossible for 30,000 people to be here, but there were thousands of sergeants around to see it.

In less than a breath, all fifty coins fell to the ground, some still rolling, and some were already lying flat.
