Iron Bull clenched a hammer in his hand, his eyes full of determination.

"Shizi, don't worry, even if I die, I will escort you back to the Southern Dynasty."

Ye Yu's heart warmed, "Don't worry, we won't die." ”

The group set out, and they resolved to go straight by.

This kind of place, far away from the Jingshi, most of the local garrisons are relatively lazy, Ye Yu is confident that he can bypass it,

Presumably, these people set up cards on the official road just to deal with the people above.

In the Southern Dynasties, more and more troops began to gather around Ye Xiong's tent, and at a glance, the flag covered the sun.

Inside the big tent, Ye Xiong's brows were furrowed, and in front of him was a huge sand table.

"Is there any movement in the border army of the imperial court?" Ye Xiong spoke.

A general wearing iron armor beside him immediately spoke, "Tan Ma Lai reported, there is no movement in the border army of the imperial court. ”

"No movement is the biggest movement." Ye Xiong's gaze was fixed on a place in the sand table.

"Our army is assembled with great fanfare, it is impossible for the imperial court not to know, since it knows, there has been no action yet, this is not in line with common sense." He added,

Inside the tent, there were at least a dozen generals, all of whom looked solemn.

"Come on, go and invite Mr. Wenzhu." Ye Xiong spoke again.

A general took the order directly and ran out himself.

The rest of the people were shocked, knowing that the prince was going to do it, otherwise he would never invite that person over.

Mr. Wenzhu is the first literary talent in the entire Southern Dynasty and the right-hand man of the prince.

In the army, Mr. Wenzhu's prestige is only lower than Ye Xiong, for no other reason, Mr. Wenzhu's strategy has made the soldiers of the Southern Dynasty avoid heavy casualties in many battles.

The soldiers privately called him a life-saver.

After Ye Xiong learned about it, he was even more happy to see it.

When the tent door opened again, Mr. Wenzhu appeared in everyone's field of vision,

The generals saluted, "I've seen sir." ”

Wen Zhu is dressed in white, with a handsome face, and deserves the name of a white-faced scholar.

He exudes a sense of confidence and calmness, and gives people a natural sense of closeness.

Mr. Wen Zhu smiled and bent down slightly, in reply to the greetings of the generals.

Ye Xiong's face was also full of smiles, "Sir, I'm bothering you again." ”

Wen Zhu hurriedly bent down, "I've seen the prince." ”

"Between you and me, we don't need all this red tape." Ye Xiong stepped forward and helped him up.

Wen Zhu spoke, "There is a difference between respect and inferiority, and it is still necessary to bow slightly." ”

"Sir will always be like this." Ye Xiong shook his head, his face helpless?

"Sir ought to know what I called you for, right?" His face turned serious and he asked.

Mr. Wenzhu nodded, "Don't worry, I have already prepared the dispatch of troops last night." ”

As the words fell, he took out a roll of cloth from his cuffs and handed it to Ye Xiong.

"Those who know me, Mr. Wenzhu too." Ye Xiong laughed.

He opened the text, and when he looked at it, a satisfied look appeared on his face.

"Okay, with this text, it is justified for us to send troops." Ye Xiong opened his mouth and said.

Mr. Wen Zhu nodded and spoke softly, "I don't know how the prince uses soldiers?" ”

"This king intends to attack here at night." Ye Xiong pointed to a place with his finger.

Mr. Wenzhu slowly spoke, "Danyang? ”

"Yes, it's Danyang City." Ye Xiong's expression was solemn.

Mr. Wen Zhu nodded, "Is there any movement in the imperial court's army, and the prince wants to take this place directly?" ”

"Take here, the entire border city must be restless, and Danyang is their grain and grass transfer place."

"Sir's analysis is very right, this king thinks exactly so." Ye Xiong hurriedly spoke.

Wen Zhu raised his eyebrows, "The spy report of the prince's subordinates, didn't send the letter?" ”

"Yes, the king also received it, there is no movement in several border cities, and the imperial court garrison is just a simple enhanced patrol."

Ye Xiong was slightly worried and spoke.

A group of generals in the big tent also frowned, this phenomenon is too abnormal.

How can there be a large army pressing the realm, but it is like no one?

They ask themselves that they absolutely can't.

Mr. Wenzhu nodded, "In this way, the prince's plan is indeed feasible." ”

Hearing Mr. Wenzhu's approval, Ye Xiong was a lot happier in his heart.

On the other side, Ye Yu and the others really succeeded in bypassing the checkpoint.

"If the local garrisons of the imperial court are all so lazy, my Southern Dynasty will really have a chance."

Ye Yu smiled and spoke.

Tie Niu walked on him, "The prince doesn't know, most of the local garrisons in the imperial court have lost their hearts, and they are all in a state of eating and waiting for death." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Ye Yu was a little puzzled.

Tie Niu hurriedly solved his doubts, "Because of corruption." ”

"According to the understanding of our spy personnel, some of the local garrisons of the imperial court have not even been paid military salaries for a year."

"Where did the military pay go, greedy?" Ye Yu was a little surprised.

Tie Niu nodded, "The military salary is allocated by the household department, and the military department receives it, and before leaving the Beijing Division, it has to be counted by a few servants of the military department, and it has already begun to be greedy here." ”

"Each of these squires took a part and gave a part to Shangshu, and the rest went to the local garrison."

"When the local garrison accepts the military salary, the chief general usually knows that the amount of military salary is wrong, but the military department Shangshu is his top boss, so he dares to be angry and dare not speak."

"Some local generals simply directly put most of the military salaries into the ink, and their subordinates did not have the military salaries in hand, so they connived at them to go to the people's homes to make trouble, or fall into the grass."

"In order not to make things bigger, these lords will send a part of the silver to the officials in the capital to use it to make money."

…

Ye Yu listened to Tie Niu's narration, and the whole person was stunned.

Who would have thought that the local army of the Jia Dynasty would be so corrupt?

"So what the Jia Dynasty really has combat effectiveness is only the five battalions of the Beijing Division, as well as the Beijing Division Guards plus the Imperial Forest Army?" Ye Yu had a hint of excitement in his tone.

Tie Niu smiled innocently, "What the prince said is right, so we will definitely win this battle." ”

"Don't take it lightly." Ye Yu spoke softly.

"How long will it take to get to Yecheng?" He asked again.

Tie Niu hurriedly replied, "Back to the world, there is no obstacle on the road, and our speed will only take one day at most." ”

"If there is a fast horse, it will be less than half a day."

"When we get to Yecheng, we can ask the people over there to prepare a batch of horses, and we have to return to the Southern Dynasty as soon as possible."

Ye Yu reluctantly spoke.

In the Jingshi City, Ye Lie frowned, as if he was thinking about something.

After a long while, he muttered softly, "Cheng is really not there any problem?" ”

"No, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, I will continue to deceive him."

When Ye Lie said this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

There is no way, who let Gongsun Ling'er have been given marriage to Ye Yu, with this relationship, he Ye Lie is naturally not worried about Gongsun Ce.

If Gongsun Ce stabbed him in the back, how could he Ye Lie stand it.

There is one thing that he is actually not lying, and that is the royal driver's personal expedition.

However, Ye Lie's idea is that the hidden dangers in the capital must be removed, so that he will be able to drive the expedition in person.

Therefore, during this time, he only gathered troops, but never ordered the appointment of a commander.
