The wind and the sun are beautiful, and the flag is fluttering.

The 300,000 army is ready to go, with the Iron Eagle Army on the left and the Nanshan elite soldiers mobilized by Yin Falcon on the right.

The oath meeting officially began, Ye Yunyang was wearing a set of golden armor, and the whole person looked very energetic, accompanied by Liu Yuying, Yin Ying and others, and slowly walked onto the high platform.

Below the stage were the generals of the Iron Eagle Army and the Nanshan Army, and all the generals of the Iron Eagle Army had gauze wrapped around their right wrists, which looked a little weird.

What's even more strange is that Cao Ziang is also among them, according to his level, he should be on stage with Ye Yunyang.

The soldiers didn't know what happened yesterday, and everyone was whispering speculation about why their main general was not taken seriously by the Iron Eagle Army, who was obviously the main force in this battle.

Yin Falcon and the generals stayed on the last step, and Ye Yunyang and Liu Yuying climbed the high platform.

Ye Yunyang glanced at the audience for a week, and finally stopped his gaze on Cao Ziang.

Cao Ziang's face was flushed, but fortunately he was standing in the first row and wearing a helmet, and the soldiers behind him could not see his honor.

Thinking back to the scene that happened yesterday, he couldn't help but have a fever on his old face, and he, a veteran of the battlefield, took the initiative to kneel down in front of a person under the age of eighteen and ask for forgiveness.

Ye Yunyang is not a stingy person, but if something as big as seizing power happens, he can't act as if nothing happened.

Before leaving the Iron Eagle Army, he didn't give Cao Ziang too much of a clear explanation, but said: "Attend the oath meeting early tomorrow morning, you people had better be smart and don't be late." ”

In this way, the Iron Eagle Army set off early in the morning and came to the side of the swearing-in platform, more than two quarters of an hour earlier than the Nanshan soldiers.

Cao Ziang was uneasy in his heart, and the generals were the same, if he was really ordered to garrison Nanshan County, how would it be good.

Yesterday they had already tried it themselves, and it would not work by force, not only would they lose their lives, but they would also affect their soldiers.

Ye Yunyang finally spoke, and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, this county prince originally wanted to say something to boost morale, but something very bad happened yesterday, which made me lose my interest in boosting morale. Maybe you don't know that some people want to seize the military power of the county duke, and they are ashamed to say that they want to take power, not seize power, which is really ridiculous!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Cao Ziang.

After decades of being a soldier, Cao Ziang has never had such a humiliating experience.

Ye Yunyang did not explain the specific process of the matter, but changed his words: "Next, I have asked the Lord of Yuying to convey the will of His Majesty the Emperor."

Liu Yuying represents the emperor and the crown prince, and everyone knows this.

She took a step forward and said in a bright voice: "His Majesty the Emperor has a decree to give Ye Yunyang, the Duke of Nanshan County, the dictatorship, not only all the soldiers and horses to the south should be the head of the Duke of Ye County, but also the yamen of the state capitals at all levels must also fully cooperate, and for those who do not cooperate, the Duke of Ye County has the right to deal with them, and there must be no mistakes!"

Ye Yunyang snorted lightly: "Do you understand?"

"Understood!" the generals of the Nanshan Army shouted in unison.

Looking at the Iron Eagle Army's side, no one dared to respond.

Cao Ziang's heart has already risen to his throat, according to the words of the county lord of Yuying, Ye Yunyang will definitely take him under the knife.

He regretted it, he didn't know this holy decree, but he didn't take it seriously, he felt that Ye Yunyang was young and easy to bully, and now that he thought about it, he just wanted to slap himself with two big mouths.

Ye Yunyang's gaze turned to him again and said, "In view of the behavior of Cao Ziang, the commander of the Iron Eagle Army, yesterday, the prince of this county demoted him to a partial general and concurrently served as a herald to see the aftermath. If you commit it again in the future, the county will not be spared, and the Iron Eagle Army will continue to serve as the main force of this expedition to the south, Cao Ziang, do you have anything to say?"

Cao Ziang's face was unconcealable excitement, according to his guess, he would definitely not have good fruit to eat, at least he would have to be dismissed and investigated, and it was even possible to be beheaded and sacrificed.

Who would have thought that in the end, it was just a demote and retention, and the most important thing was that it did not affect other soldiers.

"The last general is grateful. Cao Ziang knelt down on one knee and said, "Thank you Nanshan County for your public kindness, the last general will definitely make up for his mistakes, and in the future, he will look forward to the head of Ye County's horse." ”

Ye Yunyang smiled faintly, waved his hand and said, "General Cao, please get up, if you can really reform yourself, the county guild will reinstate you." ”

"Xie Ye Jungong. Cao Ziang behaved obediently.

Ye Yunyang didn't want to punish him, but considering that this person had been in charge of the Iron Eagle Army for more than ten years and had a high prestige in the army, once he was dealt with severely, the morale of the Iron Eagle Army would inevitably be greatly reduced, and the generals would complain.

And this time against the Southern Barbarians, there were originally few troops, and the Iron Eagle Army was the absolute main force, without the participation of this army, Ye Yunyang's chances of victory would be reduced by more than thirty percent.

So he decided to treat Cao Ziang lightly, and he also knew that even if the surname Cao was reduced to a small soldier, the generals and soldiers would still obey him.

Since this is the case, at the same time as demoting him to a partial general, let him concurrently serve as a herald, so that he can continue to command the troops. Of course, the premise is to obey Ye Yun's threats, otherwise, he, the main general, will really be regarded as the leader.

After dealing with Cao Ziang's matter, Ye Yunyang and Liu Yuying glanced at each other, and said loudly: "In this expedition to Nanban, the county prince serves as the commander of the three armies, and the position of deputy marshal is held by Nanshan General Yin Falcon, and the county lord of Yuying serves as the supervisor of the army, and the other generals perform their own duties, and there must be no mistake in obeying orders." Soldiers, the time has come to make a meritorious deed, think of your parents, wives and children who stayed at home, they are all looking forward to your victorious return, do you want to disappoint them?"

The soldiers shouted in unison: "No!"

Ye Yunyang smiled: "That's good, merit is achieved by hard work with both hands, after this battle, when it comes to meritorious deeds, there must be people who eat meat and people who drink soup, and some people may not even be able to drink soup, which one do you choose?"

"Eat meat!"

"Eat meat!"

"Eat meat!"

The wolf nature of the soldiers was all mobilized, and they shouted desperately at the top of their voices.

Liu Yuying frowned and whispered, "Yun Yang, this is how you motivate morale? What is eating meat, is it just eating meat when you are rewarded for meritorious deeds?"

Ye Yunyang smiled indifferently: "The process is not important, look at the results! The soldiers generally have a low cultural quality, if you use the sacrificial style of sacrificial crepe to talk to them, will they understand? Simple and rude is the king, you look at their current appearance, who dares to say that their morale is low?"

Liu Yuying wanted to refute very much, but she couldn't refute it, she couldn't help but think of another sentence that Ye Yunyang said - killing pigs and farts - stocks, each has its own way of killing, the process is really not important, the result is the same.

At Ye Yunyang's signal, Yin Falcon boarded and walked up to accept the attention of 300,000 people together.

Originally, according to his qualifications, there was no chance to become the deputy commander of the three armies, this position must be Cao Ziang's, but who let Cao Ziang commit a stupid seizure of power, and was demoted to a partial general, although the generals of the Iron Eagle Army were not punished, but as participants in the seizure of power, none of them were qualified to hold important positions, so they were cheaper.

Morale was high, Ye Yunyang pulled out the long sword that was deliberately hanging from his waist, pointed diagonally at the sky and ordered loudly: "The three armies are open, the Iron Eagle Army is the front army, the Nanshan Army is the rear army, and the target is Dongban." ”

"Open up!" Yin Falcon and other generals shouted in unison.

300,000 people began to change formations, forming a long line, and set out on the road to the southeast.

Ye Yunyang took Liu Yuying and Dongfang Yixue to walk behind the Iron Eagle Army, plus hundreds of personal guards, to form the Chinese army.

The march was no better than ordinary walking, although Yin Falcon arranged the carriage in advance, but because the road was rough and the carriage was extremely bumpy, Liu Yuying and Dongfang Yixue chose to ride horses, and the vehicles were used to carry various living utensils.

Looking at Liu Yuying, whose face was covered with sweat, Ye Yunyang was happy: "It's not good to be a prisoner, it's not too late to turn back, it only takes a while to return to Nanshan County." ”

Liu Yuying raised his chin: "Hmph, you are too underestimating people, aren't you just walking with the army, it's not a big deal, right, Sister Dongfang." ”

Dongfang Yixue nodded.

Ye Yunyang put away his smile: "Even if I didn't say anything, but I still have to remind you that the march is not as good as when we came, half rushing and half playing, and the hard work is secondary, mainly because the journey is too boring and boring, you have to be mentally prepared." ”

Liu Yuying said confidently: "If you can do it, we can do it too." ”

Although it is also hard to go from the imperial capital to Nanshan County, you can change to a carriage or flying wings at any time, and when you encounter a good scenery, you can stop and enjoy it; when you encounter a place with delicious food, you can go to taste it, and the beautiful scenery and food can dilute the fatigue generated on the way.

But now, in addition to rushing or rushing, even if you encounter a place with good scenery, you have to have no opportunity and mood to appreciate it.

Marching more than 300 miles a day, this is nothing for the field army, if it were not for the rugged terrain of Nanshan, 400 miles would not be a problem.

At dusk, the army chose a high ground and set up camp.

Ye Yunyang lived in the big tent of the Chinese army, and as soon as Chen Shilai lit the butter candle, Liu Yuying rushed in from outside, and said a little angrily: "What's the matter, how did you, the commander of the three armies, do not even prepare the bath water for me and Sister Dongfang?"

Just now, she asked the captain of the pro-soldier to boil water for a bath, but was directly refused.

Ye Yunyang shrugged his shoulders and said, "Our camp is three miles away from the nearest river, and the soldiers can only take water to meet the drinking needs of the army, so they don't have time to help you prepare bath water. As I said during the day, you should be mentally prepared, everything will be simple during the march, and you will not die without a bath for a day. ”

The little girl's eyes widened, from childhood to adulthood, she had to bathe every day, and today she rode a horse for a day, not to mention the dust, and she sweated at noon, how could she not take a bath.

"If you don't wash it for a day, you mean you can wash it tomorrow?" she asked.

"Not necessarily, maybe tomorrow our camp will be farther away from the water source. He said solemnly: "After joining the Eastern Barbarian army, we will settle down for a few days, and then we should be able to take a bath." ”

Liu Yuying was about to go crazy and said, "You should let Zheng Zhiyuan come over now, drive the flying wings and send us to the camp of the Eastern Barbarian Army! I really don't understand, why should we go with the army and wait for them at the destination?"

Ye Yunyang shook his head: "No, I am the commander of the three armies, you are the supervising army, you and I are both senior generals in the army, and we are their backbone, sharing weal and woe with the soldiers is the most basic requirement, and you must not leave the army privately." ”

Liu Yuying couldn't refute it, and thought with hatred in his heart, if he knew that this was the case, he shouldn't have sharpened his head to be a prison soldier, and he didn't have to suffer with it.

Ye Yun raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that it was time for your girl to suffer a little, so as not to put on the stinking shelf of the county lord during the big war and drag her feet.
