Young prince

If Xu Changan is asked to carry a sword to cut, it is not difficult to run if he can't win.

But let him lead the troops, which is a little difficult for him, and the most people he has brought are only when he was seven or eight years old and took four or five children to the river to peek at the girls bathing.

A few of their little boys were stoned by the girls and ran all the way home.

Back in the alley, if you look closer, there are six people. At that time, he had an extremely sense of accomplishment, thinking that this was the pinnacle of leading people, but he didn't expect to get him an army of 30,000 at once.

These 30,000 troops, even if they go to peek at people taking a bath, it is difficult to run. Lined up in a phalanx, he just roared through his throat, and not every soldier could hear it.

Xu Changan looked at the holy decree and was worried, and then turned his head to look at the little master with a pale face, also with a sad face.

The little master's eyes narrowed, looked at Xu Changan, and coldly gave Xu Changan a ring ruler on his head, which frightened Xu Changan.

The little master didn't speak, but just looked at the old military doctor.

Xu Changan's eyes lit up, coughed, and patted the old military doctor on the shoulder.

"What does the decree say?"

The old military doctor didn't understand what Xu Changan meant, but he still said honestly: "The Holy Emperor said that you are the marshal of the Western Route Army, and I am the vanguard to assist you." ”

"What am I?" Xu Changan put his hand to his ear and asked again with his head tilted.

"Marshal!"

"What are you?"

"Pioneer ......" The old military doctor's voice became smaller and quieter, although he knew that Xu Changan was kind, but he was still a little afraid that Xu Changan would settle accounts after the autumn.

After all, before Xu Changan officially became the prince, he habitually wiped his nose on Xu Changan's bun.

"Is the marshal big or the vanguard?" asked Xu Changan with squinted eyes.

"Marshal!" replied the old medic subconsciously.

Xu Changan suddenly straightened up, raised his head and chest, was full of anger, and said in a deep voice: "Han Shitao listens to the order!"

The old medic knelt down on one knee.

"The pioneer Han Shitao listened to the order, and ordered Er to rush to the west of Yuezhou within three days, Shuofang Town, and dispatch troops on behalf of the commander!"

"As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved, and the first batch of grain and grass weapons must be transported to the front line within seven days, and if they do not arrive within seven days, the military law will deal with it!"

Xu Changan straightened his face, said in a deep voice, and took a brocade box with both hands and solemnly handed it to the old military doctor.

The old military doctor was stunned for a moment, and took the brocade box with trembling hands.

Lying quietly in the brocade box were half a talisman and a token.

The old military doctor held the brocade box, solemnly saluted Xu Chang'an, and then turned to leave.

Out of Chang'an City, a Changhong rushed to Shuofang.

......

The little master looked at Xu Changan with a smile.

Xu Changan listened with a big belly, still reminiscing about the feeling just now.

"How is it, not bad, do you look like a marshal?" Xu Changan asked with a smile.

The little master in the green shirt touched his chin, thought for a while, and then asked, "Where did you learn that set just now?"

Xu Changan scratched his head honestly and smiled: "Storytellers say so, and the tone is similar to what I just said." ”

Xu Changan received a big roll of his eyes.

The little master was silent for a long time, and finally asked: "You don't know anything about military affairs, now you can find someone to do it with a simple dispatch, but when the war really starts, what should you do?"

Xu Changan glanced at him strangely, and said with some surprise: "Could it be that the Holy Emperor really trusts me to lead the troops like a hairy boy? You must go with me, right?" Xu Changan looked at the little master with hope in his eyes.

The little master sighed softly.

The Holy Emperor's thoughts should be the same as Xu Chang'an's, on the surface, he is sealing Xu Chang'an, but in fact, the Holy Emperor and he both know that Xu Chang'an is just a tool to transmit orders on the battlefield. It is impossible for the Holy Emperor to hand over the army to a young man who does not understand military affairs because of an artifact.

He was gambling, betting that the little master would follow him to the front.

If the little master follows the front line, then what is there to fear, even if he is disrespectful, he will not joke with the lives of thousands of soldiers.

It's a pity that the Holy Emperor was wrong.

The little master's face turned pale, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

How can this luck be used by anyone? The luck of the scholars in the world is indeed very powerful, but this belongs to the scholars of the world, and if he forcibly drives it, there will naturally be a backlash; but the Holy Emperor is different, this luck is the luck of his Xuanyuan family, and it only belongs to his Xuanyuan family, so there is naturally no obstacle to using it.

Xu Changan was taken aback, and looked at the little master in surprise, he didn't know how much his future senior brother had paid to help him. He had always thought that this cheap future senior brother and the Holy Emperor were good buddies, and he could do it by saying hello at will.

If he had known in advance that he would have to pay such a big price, he would not have agreed to the little master forcibly helping them.

"I'll just rest alone. The little master waved his hand, Xu Changan looked at him uneasily, and finally walked out of the door.

The little master watched Xu Changan walk out, and said to himself: "It seems that I can only let that stinky boy help him." ”

......

In the past two or three days, Xu Changan and Xue Pan have been studying in the study.

Even when Uncle Shi beat him with a ring ruler, he didn't read a book so seriously.

It's just that these books are not very useful, and some military books that can be bought in ordinary markets are really useless to Xu Chang'an, who is about to master an army of 30,000.

Not to mention the 30,000 army, Xu Changan and Xue Pan are one person who commands five or six children to fight, and they can't command it well.

Xu Changan was a little deflated, and threw the ordinary military book in his hand on the ground, he glanced at Xue Pan, who was still studying seriously, and dragged him up.

"Let's go out and have a look. ”

If it was Xue Pan in the past, he would definitely jump up happily, but now Xue Pan just closed the book and replied lightly: "Okay." ”

Spring rain is as expensive as oil.

The streets that have just rained are even more vivid.

Not far away, the stubborn greenery has been spotted on the grass, and the bluestone slabs on the street seem to have been washed.

It seems that the workers who built the street at that time were not serious, and there was a lot of stagnant water stored on a bluestone slab, and Xue Pan and Xu Chang'an who walked slowly could be seen from the stagnant water.

If you go in a different direction, there will be another person in the water.

A man in a white shirt carrying a flask.

Long hair shawl, dressed in a white color that is more dazzling than pear blossoms.

Xu Changan looked at the young man in front of him.

Estimated to be about the same age as himself, his body was thin and slender, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a pair of eyes like streams in the sun.

If it weren't for Xue Pan seeing this person subconsciously retreat, otherwise he would have thought that he was a little boy who had been soaking in a wine vat all day.

His face is also pale, and although his white shirt is dazzling, it can't hide his body that looks lean but has strong muscles, and I really don't know why people who look thin still have such strong muscles.

Xue Pan glanced at him, then leaned over to Xu Chang'an's ear and whispered, "The bitter master is here." ”

Before Xu Changan could digest what Xue Pan meant by the bitter master, the white-shirted young man opposite spoke.

"Yo, this is the prince of Pingshan Wang, right?" He naturally recognized Xue Pan and automatically ignored Xue Pan.

"The appearance is dignified, this skin is good, and the appearance is good. I have heard about the deeds of the prince in the Beiban, and when I see it today, it is really ......"

Xue Pan was a little surprised, this person is famous for his poisonous mouth, could it be that today he will boast of the world's son for the first time?

However, this person naturally did not disappoint Xue Pan, and after a pause, he continued: "When I saw it today, it was really ordinary. With that, he picked up a jug of wine and poured it into his mouth.

He smacked his lips and casually wiped the wine that had left in the corners of his mouth.

"Hello, Shizi, my name is Jiang Ming, your bitter master. When he said the word bitter master, he also raised his eyebrows at Xue Pan.

Xue Pan lowered his eyebrows and didn't look at him.

Xu Changan looked at this Jiang Ming, and a sense of danger came out of his heart.

"Oh, I forgot to say, I'll reintroduce myself. ”

He stroked the long hair in front of his forehead, and then said, "My name is Jiang Ming, bright Ming." The original marshal of the Western Route Army was unfortunately cut off. ”

A pair of starry eyes looked at Xu Changan.

Xu Changan looked at this young man of the same age as himself, and couldn't believe that the original Marshal of Zhengxi would be him.

If it weren't for the old military doctor and him, the little master wouldn't have gone to the Holy Emperor. With the character of the Holy Emperor, the world was fought down by him and his subordinates, and he would definitely not get a person who did not learn and did not know how to serve as the marshal of the Western Route Army.

But not everyone can be the marshal of the Western Route Army, Xu Changan is an accident, after all, it is the result of mutual calculations and transactions between the Holy Emperor and the little master.

Just talking about Li Xiaocun of the Middle Route Army and Guo Fen of the East Route Army, that is the rising new generation of generals.

Both of them had the merit of breaking the enemy with tens of thousands of troops, and forcibly extended the national border of the Holy Dynasty to the east for hundreds of miles.

Both of them are infinitely close to Generalissimo Xu Zhenwu at the same age, both in terms of merit and ability.

Looking at the arrogant white-robed man in front of him, Xu Changan smiled slightly, there was no impulse, after all, he was indeed a little unqualified as the marshal of the Western Route Army.

"Then what do you think of Li Xiaocun and Guo Fen?"

Jiang Ming frowned.

"What are those two people doing, it's ordinary, after all, the people who are in their old age, and the two of them have joined forces to have this kind of merit, which is not enough. ”

Xu Changan was a little angry, arrogance is not terrible, what is terrible is arrogance and ignorance.

Isn't marching and fighting like lifting a pen and dipping it in ink, and you can talk about it with rhetoric?

When Xu Changan listened to the book, the details of those generals leading the troops were extremely rare, and many hot-blooded young men were enthusiastically told by the storyteller, and they couldn't wait to put on their armor immediately to guide the country.

But Xu Changan now knows that the general is not like the storyteller who only has a glamorous side.

Behind every action, every decision, I don't know how many nights they can't sleep and how many troubles they have boiled up.

After Jiang Ming finished speaking, he glanced at Xu Changan.

"I have no objection to them being marshals, and if there is me, then they will also go to share the merits of the war and take a tour. But this Holy Emperor actually let a military idiot be a marshal. ”

"The Holy Emperor has decreed that I will recuperate at home. I'm a little angry, I'm looking for trouble with you. ”

Xu Changan was stunned, but he didn't expect this Jiang Ming to be very direct.

"I just want to simply beat you up or be beaten by you. Jiang Ming said, took another sip of wine, threw it casually, and then a crisp sound came, stirring up a pool of stagnant water on the bluestone street.

He moved his muscles and bones and hooked his finger towards Xu Changan.

"Boring. ”

Xu Changan said a word, turned around and left, Xue Pan's eyes widened, and he looked at Xu Changan in disbelief.

For ordinary officials, Xue Pan can be disrespectful, but in the face of this young man, let alone him, even his father or several princes who have the strength to compete for the crown prince are respectful to him.

Jiang Ming did not make a sound to intercept.

It's just that Xu Changan only took two steps, and a sound of breaking the air came, Xu Changan subconsciously drew his sword to resist, but blocked a void, but there was an extra silver gun in front of his toes, and the silver gun was inserted in the bluestone street, and the tail kept trembling, making a trembling sound.

Xu Changan's eyes turned cold.

It's one thing to say it, he can fart as a human being, but it's another thing to make a move.

"Since you don't value me, let me introduce you again. Jiang Ming's lazy voice came, and his voice suddenly changed and became sharp.

"I am the brave martial marquis Jiang Ming!"

Xue Pan's face changed, and he hurriedly stepped back.

Seeing this, Xu Changan also hurriedly retreated.

Jiang Ming jumped up, held the silver spear, picked it up, saw Xu Changan retreat, and finally pointed at the spear obliquely, looking at Xu Changan coldly.

Xue Pan pulled Xu Changan's sleeve and said, "Shizi, let's run?"

Others don't know Jiang Ming, but Xue Pan won't know.

Yongwu Hou, one of the eight great gentlemen of Chang'an.

said that he was a gentleman, but in fact, no one dared to provoke him.

Born in the cowshed, his biological father is unknown, his mother was originally a maidservant in the palace, because of this, his mother was also kicked out of the palace, but fortunately his stepfather took them in orphans and widows.

When he was thirteen years old, his father-in-law went to the martial arts field to observe the exercises, showing a high military talent.

At the age of fifteen, he joined the army to quell the chaos and made his first contribution. At the age of eighteen, he led the army alone, expeditioned to the Western Desert, broke hundreds of thousands of people with 30,000 people, and killed the Western Desert beard and armor.

Now in his twenties, he is good at everything, but he likes to drink, so he seems a little weak.

Grumpy, alcoholic. His two major shortcomings.

Needless to say, he was a heavy drinker, as evidenced by his face, which looked like he had been soaked in water for several days.

As for grumpy.

The one-year-old prince confronted his father-in-law, who happened to be his deputy.

After Jiang Ming learned about it, he fought with the prince, and in the end, it was his stepfather who came forward to persuade him.

However, Jiang Ming took advantage of the spring hunt three days later, and two arrows shot the prince's father and son, both of whom hit the eyebrows.

How can an old man who can only be a marquis by virtue of his seniority and military exploits compare with a young prince? The ruler is realistic, and he will not cut off an arm of his own arm when there are changes in all directions.

The Holy Emperor forcibly suppressed the matter, and announced to the public that the old general's father and son had encountered a mysterious beast with a wild and alien bloodline due to hunting, and died in the mouth of the mysterious beast.

But everyone knew it, and their eyes were full of fear when they looked at Jiang Ming.

This is where the name of the gentleman comes from.

If it were other gentlemen, Xu Changan's identity would be able to suppress it, but this kind of military merit and strength came up, and they didn't care about Xu Changan's false title.

The spear and the red giant sword intersected, like a duel between Yi Yinjiao and a fire lion.

The tiles on both sides of the street had long been lifted, and many people hugged each other, shivering.

The bluestone slabs have also been lifted a lot, and a good street, like a natural disaster, was in a mess in an instant, and many houses became ruins.

The shadow of the sword and the shadow of the gun filled the entire street, if it was an ordinary person fighting, it would have been arrested at this time, but now the two people who are fighting, a prominent prince, a young prince who has won the three armies, no one dares to approach.

The two seem to be on fire.

Jiang Ming's spear walks the dragon and snake, like a dragon going out to sea; Xu Changan's long sword volleys in the air, burning into five, and standing in the air, this is one of the ten thousand sword tricks he can perform now, and it is also one of his tricks to press the bottom of the box today.

"Go!" Xu Changan pinched the sword trick, and a breeze blew, and the power of the two of them was suppressed.

"Jiang Ming, stop!"

"Future junior brother, stop fighting!" the two voices came out at the same time.

I saw two people pacing on the other side of the street, and Xue Pan, who was hiding in the ruins, saw the person who came and let out a sigh of relief, and only this person could shout Jiang Ming.

The little master and King Jin looked at the two of them with a headache.

Jiang Ming put away his spear and walked respectfully in front of King Jin.

He bowed deeply and shouted, "Father!"
