Chapter Seventy-Three: Miserable
"The Gyeonggi battalion is all infantry, good at defending the city, five thousand for one battalion, a total of four battalions. The fourth battalion alternated with Jing Zhaoyin's officials to guard the capital. ”
Cen Xiao walked while introducing the situation of the Gyeonggi camp to Chu Yi.
"There are archers over there, and there are long-sword soldiers here, except for when defending the city or going out of Beijing to exterminate bandits, everyone is basically practicing in the school field at other times."
Chu Yi followed Cen Xiao's line of sight, and saw that under the scorching sun, those soldiers were sweating like rain, waving the long knives in their hands, cutting off the heads of the scarecrows in front of them, making an earth-shaking sound.
She once took a team of Yulin Army to Nanfu, and she had seen many strong troops in her previous life, in comparison, the Gyeonggi battalion could basically be called a strong army, and it could be seen that their commander Cen Zijing was a qualified sheep, ah no, a qualified general.
"This Gyeonggi camp looks more disciplined than the Yulin Army." Chu Yi hadn't forgotten the purpose of her coming here and Cen Xiao, she looked at those soldiers and said to herself.
Cen Xiao endured it, didn't hold back, and said: "The Yulin Army is indeed not as good as the Gyeonggi battalion, but this gap, the minister believes that it can be changed by hard work, princess, you have already sent new ordnance to the Yulin Army, and there is also Captain Rong drilling, in time-"
He stopped in the middle of speaking, because he suddenly remembered that he was no longer the captain of the Yulin Army.
Whether the Yulin Army is good or bad in the future, what does it have to do with him?
Chu Yi saw the gloom in his eyes, and the corners of his lips hooked slightly.
There is play.
Cen Xiao himself was reluctant to let go of the Yulin Army.
"The current Yulin Army has indeed taken on a new look, but because of this, this is also the time to employ people," Chu Yi said, "It's a pity, there is no one available around the palace, and yesterday Taiwei Rong also complained to the palace, saying that if the county lord and the two young people of the palace were saved in the wolf garden that day, the Yulin Army would definitely be able to go to the next level." ”
Cen Xiao's eyes widened in shock: "Taiwei...... Is that really the case? ”
Xiao Yan glanced at him, thinking that there was actually a fool who really believed Chu Yi's words.
He didn't want to expose it, but leaned into Chu Yi's ear and whispered: "The minister said that the princess is in front of the minister, so there is no need to do this." ”
Chu Yi's ears itched, and she asked rhetorically: "That palace is like this, do you want to join the Yulin Army?" ”
Xiao Yan shook his head: "The minister is the imperial guard." ”
He is a royal guard, and the implication is naturally refusal.
It's not a question of whether he wants to or not, it's a question of whether he can't, and the question is whether he can't.
Chu Yi's purpose is Cen Xiao, and by the way, she recruits Xiao Yan, she also knows that it is impossible for him to join the Yulin Army, even if he is only his own escort, he needs to gain Chu Tingxiao's trust.
Seeing Cen Xiao's hesitant expression, Chu Yi continued: "Captain Cen Du, you have been in the Yulin Army for so many years, and now that the Yulin Army has finally become better, can you bear to watch all this be short-lived, and the Yulin Army continues to decline, don't you want to witness the Yulin Army gradually become stronger in your own hands?" ”
Cen Xiao subconsciously felt that the strength of Yulinjun didn't seem to have anything to do with him, but when he heard Chu Yi's words, his mind was a little confused, and he felt that what the princess said made sense, Yulinjun, I need him!
"However, the minister has been dismissed by His Majesty," Cen Xiao said, "The king's order is difficult to disobey, even if the minister wants to-"
Chu Yi patted Cen Xiao's shoulder: "It's enough for you to think, and leave the rest to this palace." ”
Xiao Yan stared at Chu Yi's hand on Cen Xiao's shoulder, his eyes condensed slightly.
Chu Yi seems to have used this action on himself.
Maybe this is just a way for the princess to express her emotions and win over others, and it is just ordinary for herself to be with him..... Guards only.
His heart sank, and he involuntarily put his hand into his pocket, touched the peach hard candy wrapped in paper, and the uneasiness in his heart slowly dissipated.
This is something that only you have.
After Cen Xiao heard Chu Yi say this, tears glistened all of a sudden.
These days, he has tasted the warmth and coldness of people, but he didn't expect that Princess Yongning, who was disdainful at the beginning, has now become his last straw.
Cen Xiao wanted to thank Chu Yi, but suddenly remembered his injury.
He suddenly came to his senses, lowered his head, punched his right leg vigorously, and said with tears: "Your Highness, the minister's leg is injured, and now he has become a cripple, and his martial arts are not as good as before, can he really go back." ”
Chu Yi said: "The county lord of Yongjia came to the palace in person yesterday and almost knelt down for the palace, just hoping that the palace can let you return to the Yulin Army, did you live up to the county lord's request just because of a little injury?" Is this lame leg not cured, or does it affect you to fight on horseback? ”
Cen Xiao was stunned and muttered in surprise: "County Lord, she, she actually did this for the sake of her ministers." ”
"Hongu never lies." Chu Yi thought to herself, she went back and asked Fu Qianqian to invite her to eat for a month.
The corners of Cen Xiao's eyes turned red, and he clenched his fists when he remembered the girl who came to visit him every day before.
He thought that Fu Qianqian didn't come these days because she was disappointed in herself and disheartened, but she didn't expect that she went to beg the princess, and almost knelt down for the princess for herself, a disheartened half of the waste.
Even Fu Qianqian is still full of hope for herself, how can she give up on herself.
Cen Xiao took a deep breath, his eyes finally returned to his former firmness, and nodded vigorously: "Chen understands." ”
Soon, the group came to Cen Zijing's camp, Cen Xiao went in to report, and Chu Yi and the three of them were waiting outside.
The soldiers of the Gyeonggi battalion who came and went couldn't help but look at them one by one.
Although Chu Yi was dressed as a man, Cen Xiao had already recognized her identity before, so these soldiers also knew that she was Princess Yongning.
She thought about it, leaned over to Xiao Yan's side, and said softly: "Xiao Yan, you help the palace to see which people in this Jinggi camp are good at martial arts, and the palace will take them away later." ”
The girl's breath was slightly cold, Xiao Yan's breath was suffocated, but fortunately he stood very firm and did not retreat.
He reluctantly asked calmly, "How many people does the princess want?" ”
"As many as you want, as much as you want."
"You've really plucked your feathers, and there's not a drop left."
"I learned from you." After Chu Yi finished speaking, his expression froze.
She did learn from Xiao Yan, but she learned from Xiao Yan in her previous life.
Xiao Yan looked puzzled: "Me? ”
Chu Yi changed the subject: "Ahem...... Cen Xiao can return to the Yulin Army, Cen Zijing, Cen Zijing, he owes the palace a great favor. ”
Cen Xiao couldn't stay in the Gyeonggi camp, but the Hui Yulin Army could cheer up, and in the world, only Chu Yi could let him go back.
Xiao Yan saw that she no longer said what she had just said, and once again opened the booklet in her heart and wrote down the matter.
Moments later, a middle-aged man with a long knife at his waist walked out of the tent.
"Chen Cen Zijing, meet Princess Yongning, princess Chitose!"
"The general is exempt!" Chu Yi hurriedly said, she looked at Cen Zijing, compared with Cen Xiao next to her, the two really had similar faces, the same sword eyebrows and starry eyes, handsome appearances, just an old and a young, "I have heard the name of the general for a long time, and when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary." ”
Cen Zijing shook his head and said bitterly: "The princess said that she was just a martial artist, and she was not famous, and even if she did, it was just a false name." ”
"No, no, no, this palace often listens to my father's teachings, saying that the general of the chariot is the country's stock humerus, my right-hand man, and that you are the military god of the Dayan generation, the model of the military generals in the court, and his confidant and favorite general."
Cen Zijing scratched his head in shock: "Your Majesty, did Your Majesty really say so?" "I didn't expect that his status in His Majesty's heart was so high, and he thought that His Majesty had been disappointed in himself because of Cen Xiao's matter.
Chu Yi nodded solemnly: "How can this palace lie, Your Majesty still said that the general you know the most, worry about the country and the people, and often worry about Dayan's armament, even if you ask for an increase in military spending, it is also for the sake of the army's robes, the general gives up his small family to take care of the overall situation, and is dedicated to the country and the people, Yongning really admires." ”
Cen Zijing's face turned red with Chu Yi's words, and when he heard the increase in military spending, he said:
"Your Highness doesn't know, the minister wanted His Majesty to increase military spending before, because he hoped that the soldiers could eat well and dress well, after all, Emperor Cheng repeatedly reduced military spending, and His Majesty also acted according to the old yellow calendar, there are many people in the Gyeonggi camp, and he really wants to tighten his belt to live, and the minister really can't bear to let his brothers in robes suffer."
Chu Yi raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect that he would come to the opponent.
She put her hand to her lips, coughed, her voice a little weaker, and said:
"What the general said is ah, the military budget has been reduced again and again, and the army is really unable to make ends meet, and the Yulin Army in the palace is really unable to eat, drink, and water, all of them have yellow and thin muscles, and they can't pick up swords, alas, the palace wants to gather a team of elite guards to guard the palace, but they can't make it up."
Cen Zijing was shocked by Chu Yi's words, couldn't help but look at Cen Xiao, and asked his son with his eyes, is Yulin Jun really so miserable?
Cen Xiao was just about to speak, but Chu Yi sighed loudly again: "Even when the county lord of Yongjia came to visit the Yulin Army yesterday, he couldn't bear to see that tragic scene." ”
Yongjia County Lord......
Cen Xiao's words were held back and nodded silently.
Chu Yi wiped his eyes: "General, this palace never deceives people, the soldiers in the Gyeonggi camp are Dayan soldiers, and the same is in the Yulin army, this palace really sees it in its eyes and worries in its heart." ”
