Chapter 11: Chen Jingyuan, what's your name!
Jia Hui, who has a bright future, trembled all over, his hands and feet were cold on a hot day, and the whole person was about to pass. I feel like my future is ruined!
Looking at the miscellaneous pieces in front of him who were smiling and looking at himself, Jia Hui's scalp was numb.
Isn't it Chen Jingyuan who is surrounded by brothers!
After the army arrived at Hotan Castle, the Hotan garrison had already been ordered to concoct portable and indestructible foods such as beef jerky and cheese, which were not perishable and were very filling.
You don't have to worry about water, it's a big deal to gnaw on snow water.
So I brought some wine, the degree is not high, and it is not easy to freeze. After making the last replenishment on the territory of the Dadu Protectorate, Jia Hui gave the order to cross the Kunlun Mountains!
Fortunately, it is only the end of September, and the weather is gradually getting cooler, but it is bearable. According to the original plan, by the end of October, they would cross the Kunlun Mountains, cross no man's land, and then cross the rugged Karakoram Mountains.
Reaching the southern foothills of the Karakoram Mountains, and finally near the Japanese and Turkish Mountains, their plans for the march were to be diurnal and nocturnal. Then they used the mode of war to advance eastward, and finally reached the end of the trip, where the royal court of Heshute was located ——— Luo.
So far, the plan is going very well.
And then, unsurprisingly, there was an accident.
Chen Jingyuan, this dog thing is keeping up!
Two days after entering Kunlun Mountain, a cavalry member of the squad in charge of the broken rear came to Jia Hui, who thought something had happened and met him.
And then the whole person is not good.
"No, didn't you say before you set off that I would take you to Yecheng at most? You don't stay in Yecheng well, why are you here? Chen Laosi, you can hide it! ”
Jia Hui already had various unexpected situations in Chen Jingyuan's mind, including falling off the cliff, freezing to death, starving to death, getting lost and missing, and suddenly felt that his future was bleak, and for the first time, he had the idea of returning home to give up the surprise attack.
"We are brothers, although I am a civil official now, I have also practiced bow and horse since I was a child, in terms of martial arts, even among our brothers, I am also a good hand, what do you see, it is you Hou Rui, who does not accept practice."
Hou Rui in the crowd immediately shut his mouth.
"Brother Hui, why don't you take Chen Si with you, you're here, and his martial arts are not bad." Shi Yuanxiu felt that it was no big deal, and persuaded Jia Hui.
I'm worried about martial arts, right?
The brothers around him began to persuade Jia Hui. They were still very happy with Chen Jingyuan's arrival.
Good brothers have to act together!
The two hundred brothers who were present could be regarded as the few remaining "Shu Evil Army", when more than 200 of their brothers set off from the capital, now there are only a dozen brothers left around them, although Chen Jingyuan came relatively late, but they still regarded them as their own.
It's just that I haven't fought side by side with everyone, and now Chen Jingyuan has followed, and the last regret has been made up.
"It's not a question of whether you come or not!" Jia Hui pinched her eyebrows, physically and mentally exhausted.
"Why?" Shui Che didn't understand why Jia Hui reacted so much, it stands to reason that it is a good thing that the brother can come to help, and it will not interfere with the calculation of military merits.
"Are you sure you want to know?" Having made up her mind, Jia Hui didn't panic instead, and looked around at everyone present, "Are you sure you want to know?" ”
Niu Zhao spoke on behalf of everyone: "Brother Hui, what is there to hide from your own brothers?" He Chen Yuan can still be a prince! ”
Chen Jingyuan's pseudonym in the Metropolitan Protectorate is Chen Yuan.
Jia Hui glanced at Niu Zhao deeply and nodded slowly.
Only the call sign of the wind remains.
"Really!" Niu Zhao gasped, looked at Jia Hui, and begged Jia Hui to say no.
"Don't deceive yourself, you already understand, he Chen Yuan, ah no, Chen Jingyuan, is the one you think, the fourth son of the emperor Chen Jingyuan!"
There was a bang in the crowd, and everyone looked back, Liu Li, who was born in Yongyi's Bofu, sat on the ground with his buttocks, trembling, it was this guy who tricked Chen Jingyuan into eating an unconcocted raw hump, which caused Chen Laosi to vomit several times and didn't eat for three days.
Understood, thoroughly understood.
At this moment, even Niu Zhao, who was the most upright Chen Jingyuan, was speechless.
"Liu Li, weren't you quite arrogant when you kid fed Lao Tzu the hump? How did you get paralyzed? ”
"Ah, this, Fourth Highness, I'm here"
"Okay, since Lao Tzu called you brothers, you also called me brothers, then we are brothers for life, don't take Lao Tzu as a prince!
Brothers want to fight on the battlefield together, then Lao Tzu can't just watch, if I am still a brother, then don't say anything, you all know that I am clumsy, I can't say anything sensational, but this is what I say in my heart, my words are finished, and when I am a brother, then go to Luo together. ”
After Chen Jingyuan finished speaking, he walked out of the tent, leaving only Jia Hui and the others.
Jia Hui just wanted to say something, but Chen Jingyuan's head poked into the tent again and said shyly.
"Ah, of course, it doesn't matter if you don't recognize it, I can't go back anyway, a team of people go back, what if the avalanche buries Lao Tzu? Don't talk about the title at that time, I guess you'd better fall into the grass, right? You don't want to protect the prince and be raided by the emperor, do you? ”
After saying that, he fled immediately, and there were constant shouts and curses from the tent.
After the few people who scolded were strongly suppressed by Jia Hui, everyone in the tent looked at each other and smiled from the bottom of their hearts.
Everyone who is also a concubine is not very well treated by the adults in the family, and if there is a jealous wife, life will be even more difficult. Jia Hui, who is favored by the older generation, is an outlier here.
The people who were sent out to serve as soldiers did not sigh as their families thought, they were all young men, but everyone felt that being sent out to join the army was really a time when my generation made great achievements and made great achievements, and they all wanted to do something and raise their eyebrows.
I also made close friends in the army, and I can entrust my life to support each other's brothers.
The four irons of life, in addition to being in prison together, have all experienced it, and everyone actually cherishes the few brothers left.
Jia Hui stood up and went out of the tent to find Chen Jingyuan.
Since there is no going back, it is better to say some things.
Chen Jingyuan was roasting the fire in the tent, and the rest of his team saw that the general was coming to find someone, so they walked out of the tent with interest, leaving the two to talk alone.
"Fourth, do you know, in fact, everyone is quite envious of you, of course, not to envy Chen Yuan, but to envy Chen Jingyuan." Jia Hui added a piece of cow dung to the bonfire.
This was pulled out with oxen that delivered supplies.
It's been smelling for a few days, and everyone is used to the smell of burning cow dung.
"Actually, when we first arrived in the northwest, we talked about you, but there was nothing else, just some envy.
Everyone is a concubine, but you are the emperor's concubine, and the treatment of the prince is not much different, and after the experience, he will be crowned king, which is much better than those of us who have to work hard by ourselves. ”
Jia Hui paused, sighed, and continued.
"We are different, we say that we are the grandsons of the Guogong Mansion, but in fact, many brothers live according to the face of their wives, and they are not as comfortable as their peers in ordinary people's families, and some even have to give slaves a smile.
Don't believe it, remember Fu Qi who died in battle? His son is Fu Chang, the third-class general of Yongping Bofu, who has no other skills but keeps to himself, and is a good person.
It's a pity that he passed away a few years ago.
Brother Qi treated him well when his father was still there, which may have something to do with the fact that he was also a concubine.
But what about after he died? Brother Qi, his brother-in-law, after his brother became a knight, lived like a dog in the Bofu.
His wife, Hong, was a vinegar jar, and Brother Qi was killed by her, but his father was weak and didn't dare to say anything.
The old lady of the Fu family didn't dare to mess with the Hong family, and even the servants who came with the Hong family also shook up, and the Qi brothers were driven to live in the groom's yard next to the stable.
Not to mention the usual monthly silver, the rest has to be given to those old minions to get it with a smile, let alone in the kitchen. It's cabbage and tofu all day long, and the Qi brothers look like hemp stalks. ”
Thinking of Fu Qi's thin body, Jia Hui's eyes were astringent.
"If the emperor hadn't asked each family to send people to serve in the border towns, he would have been frustrated to death by the Hong family sooner or later. So Brother Qi is actually quite happy to be thrown out by his family, which may be his only chance to turn over.
Later, because of his good equestrian skills, he joined the night and did not close, and every time he fought, he went to the closest place to the enemy to spy on him, and then he died in battle, and was pierced through the throat by Timur's condor archer, and when he retrieved the body, it was stinky.
It's not to sell pity by saying so much, in fact, all of us have this mentality, although righteousness is part of the reason for this expedition.
But the biggest reason is that there will be no big war for a long time after the war with Shuote is over, after all, the Monan Mengwu in the north and the Jurchens in Liaodong have been disabled by the emperor, and the most wars are sporadic rebellions, and I don't know when I will see this kind of war of annihilation next time.
So, everyone wants to take this opportunity, take advantage of the youth and passion, dare to fight, and everyone wants to fight again. ”
Chen Jingyuan was a little stunned, in his heart, the young man's righteousness mixed with interests made him a little uncomfortable, but after all, he was born in the royal family and was also within the scope of acceptance, so he was just a little disappointed.
"In addition to six or seven people like me and Shui Che Shi Yuanxiu, who have already saved enough titles, there are still more than a dozen brothers who have not saved enough for three years.
At this juncture, life is not important, even if you die in battle, you can bring back glory to your mother and siblings, so that they can live better at home, and it will be better if they survive. ”
Jia Hui took a sip of wine to warm up her body, and grinned at Chen Jingyuan.
"Even me, my grandfather died, and my dog father in the family is also a person who can't be counted on, my father was demoted several levels because of Prince Li's affairs, and he is already a first-class general.
Even if the eldest son of me is a shadow seal, according to the rules, he is just a small military attache of seven or eight grades, and depending on the situation, my father will not go to the Governor's Mansion and the military department for me. ”
Jia Hui poured another sip of wine.
"I grew up soaking in medicinal baths and eating medicinal food since I was three years old, my grandfather, Rong Guo Gong Dai Shangong personally taught me the art of war, and the highest martial arts soldiers in the family taught me the art of battle formation, and I began to practice equestrian archery when I was eight years old.
If I had never had these, it would have been fine, but since I have suffered so much, I should not rot in those places, and I have my own ambitions! ”
Jia Hui stood up, looked at the continuous snow-capped mountains outside the tent, and continued to look into the distance, the bright moon was also somewhat hidden by the mountain peaks.
"I want to enter the Martial Temple!"
