Chapter 100: Alone in Danger

"When forming a regiment to act in unison and inspect the standard team, I have already explained the reason, and I believe that you are not willing to lead the troops back without an inch of success. ”

Each battalion received an order from the county lord, and the officers above the inspector general gathered in the Chinese army, and the standard commander hurriedly came with people, while the two captains of the full battalion were delayed, Mei Ying asked the guards to serve tea and pour water to warmly entertain the patrol commander, and convened ten standard commanders in the Chinese military tent, and it was necessary to give them ventilation first.

"County Lord, establish the legion as soon as possible, the marching of each standard is just running-in, you just have to give the order, and the standard will be resolutely implemented. ”

"The county lord, on the same day, I decided to go with the battalion, and hundreds of soldiers will hand over their lives to you, and the military order is like a mountain, and if there is a violation of the mark, I am willing to be dealt with by military law. ”

"County Lord, the standard battalion of Binhai County traveled hundreds of thousands of miles to the border pass, wasted millions of taels of military expenses, did not kill a single enemy, did not have a single military exploit, and led the troops back in a gray manner. You give the order, let the standard go down and be the sentry chief. ”

The ten standard commanders immediately stated that the formation of the corps had already reached a consensus, and they really wanted to lead the troops back to the camp without an inch of merit, and their military career would be bleak from then on.

Mei Ying saw that the commanders of the standard were clear-cut and unanimously agreed to the formation of the legion, and she was more sure of the next plan, but her face showed a look of embarrassment and pretended to be hesitant.

"Your loyalty and courage have deeply touched Duguying, but after all, there is no approval from the Ministry of Civil Affairs to form the legion, I am afraid that someone will take advantage of this to make things difficult, the two captains don't know what they mean, yesterday I sent someone to repeatedly tell that the legion must have veterans in charge, and they will not meet for a long time, so there must be objections, how should this be good?"

Binhai Biao stood up with a thud on the hilt of his sword, and Hua Yue was about to step forward to stop him, when he saw him take a few steps and fall to his knees, draw his sword and cut his palm, letting the blood drip down.

"Make a blood oath, only the county lord is the head of the horse, and it will be unswerving for life. ”

Hua Yue quietly retreated, Mei Ying tore open the brocade robe, tore off half of the placket and gave the Binhai Biao Chang a wound, the white and transparent silkworm robe was tightened on the body, the underwear loomed, and the delicate body was half exposed, and the other standard commanders knelt down one after another when they saw this, seeing that someone was about to draw a sword and draw a sword, Mei Ying hurriedly shouted: "Stop! Imperial warriors, how can you harm yourself, stand up for me." ”

"Get up!"

In Mei Ying's scolding, the ten standard leaders stood up in two rows, lowering their eyebrows and bowing their heads not daring to offend, only then did she realize that the spring was almost exposed, and she couldn't help blushing, pulling a brocade robe to cover her in front of her.

"Your loyalty can show the sun and the moon, the royal family will never treat the heroes badly, Dugu Ying will be rewarded for his merits and deeds every day, and a good man should be a wife and a son to tear the soil and seal the marquis. ”

"Lord Xie's grace!"

The elders of the standards were overjoyed, and as soon as they stood up, they leaned down and kowtowed. The battlefield has never been ten percent sure, five achievements dare to lead the troops to take risks, liehou, never dreamed before, this time follow the county lord is justified, there is a chance of seven or eight percent, everyone is ruthless, risking their lives to gamble, who dares to stop Lao Tzu's future, do not hesitate to fight with him to the end.

"You immediately bring your subordinates back to the camp, so that the trainees can prepare for emergencies and wait for orders. ”

"Obey!"

The ten standard commanders responded neatly and got up to say goodbye, the coastal standard chief glanced at Mei Ying's rotten brocade robe, bowed his head and hurried away, the county lord only repaid this favor in a bloody battle, and words were not enough to show loyalty.

"This trick is enough, hehe, is it a beauty trick?" After the person left, Hua Yue kept quipping: "If I knew that there was such a miraculous effect, I should have let you patrol the camp with makeup, and the soldiers would not give up and follow the beauty." ”

Mei Ying was ashamed and angry, and ran to change her clothes.

"I was going to make a lot of rhetoric, but it didn't work out by accident. ”

Linghu Qing bystanders, the excited expressions of the ten standard commanders did not seem to be fake, especially the Binhai standard commander, I believe that Mei Ying will not frown if he is now asked to lead troops to attack the captain, and he is absolutely willing to repay him with death, and he can't help but think of Ouyang Biao Commander, who is responsible for intercepting the caravan in the rear, there is no shortage of bloody men in the army.

"Eldest sister, what a good officer, if there is no internal friction, why should the empire worry about the frontier. I suddenly felt uncomfortable in my heart, the children of hereditary nobles, sitting in high positions, singing dogs and horses every day, orphans and soldiers fighting on the border, generation after generation, the glory of the samurai, how can it be so sad. ”

Hua Yue looked to the west, as if he was about to penetrate the curtain, what kind of accident would happen to the convoy, could Xiao Yuanzi rush to resolve it? Hearing this, he turned his head and comforted in a low voice: "The hereditary nobles are vying for power and profit, and the royal family is behind them, so as to balance the constraints, and the side effects of the imperial system are deep-rooted and difficult to break. Don't think about this first, the two lieutenants deliberately delayed, the situation has changed, you go to arrange the guards, a bloody battle is inevitable. ”

"Jie'er has been prepared for a long time, with a short crossbow and a hidden strong bow, she is not afraid of sixty or seventy of them, and the only thing she is worried about is that she will not be able to stop the two captains. ”

Hua Yue sighed: "Alas, if you really want a bloody battle, you and Mei Ying will go to the heavy infantry patrol as soon as possible, I told you in Panyang that I will protect you and wait for the rescue of other standard teams, remember, don't tell Mei Ying first." ”

"Big sisterβ€”"

Hua Yue reserved a way to retreat, obviously not sure enough, and wanted to drag the two lieutenants alone, this move was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and the eldest sister hurriedly stopped Hu Qing's shout: "You can't be in danger alone, sisters leave together, I have instructed the dead soldiers, if necessary, kill the dead." ”

"County Lord, the two captains left the camp and came with a patrol of guards. Mei Ying changed her clothes and walked out of the inner tent, and before the three of them could discuss the contingency strategy, Yu Wenjie hurriedly ran in to report.

"Sure enough, there is a ghost in my heart!" At the moment of crisis, Hu Qing calmed down, the arrow had to be sent on the string, success or failure in this move, there was no room for hesitation and retreat, and he suggested at the moment: "Bringing troops to the meeting is to guard against detention, if you block the guards and prevent them from entering the camp, the captain will be even more suspicious, I suggest that you let it in, the dead soldiers and the secret guards, they should come out and make a show, they really dare to resist arrest, the dead soldiers are fighting, the archers are shooting arrows indiscriminately, there is no need to save the kindness of the woman, the dead soldiers are ready to sacrifice at any time at the critical moment." ”

"Qing'er, arrange it as soon as you want, but you can only do it if you have my order. Mei Ying immediately made a decision and assigned a few people to the task: "The eldest sister is going to the archers to patrol, Yan Ning is in the light infantry, Jie'er, you lead the guards to guard the Chinese military tent, remember, in case you can't do anything, retreat to the heavy infantry patrol in time, don't risk brute fighting." ”

"It's too dangerous for you to stay alone, no!" Hua Yue and the three of them categorically vetoed, Mei Ying was resolute: "You believe me, as long as you don't push them to hurry, no one dares to touch my cold hair, beauty trick, hehe, I'll try it once." ”

"Eldest sister, let's go, staying won't help. ”

Ling Huqing pulled up Hua Yue and left, Yu Wenjie looked at Mei Ying, and saw her glaring and had to follow out, there were sixty or seventy officers above the commander of the two battalions, and it was really useless for a few people to leave for protection, but it would arouse suspicion, I hope Mei Ying has another clever plan to deal with it, otherwise I would rather return to the mountain, if Mei Ying has an accident, the battle for the throne will lose its meaning, and what is the strategic deployment.

The two lieutenants who were bribed by the county king, since they heard that the Lingbo standard team mutinied, transferred their cronies to the personal guard patrol, day and night to guard against plots, on the surface they seemed calm, and they were meticulous in the execution of the county lord's order to march out of the camp. After receiving the assembly order, the two of them were worried about being detained, leaving the cronies of the patrol to control the students, and the others were belatedly surrounded by the guards to observe the reaction of the county lord, but the guards did not stop them at all and allowed more than 300 people to enter the camp.

The two patrols of the Lingbo standard team rushed to the front, and there were less than four patrols left in the camp, and they couldn't stop it with this little force, and the captain couldn't help but relax in his heart, and then woke up, the open gun is easy to dodge and the dark arrow is difficult to defend, the wine banquet is entertained, there must be a conspiracy, there is no good wine banquet, and there is no good banquet for the wine, and he made up his mind to take the opportunity to leave the camp after listening to the military order, leaving only the officers who have not yet sworn allegiance to the county king, just to test whether there is a plot.

Everyone has a fluke heart, the captain knows that he refuses the order of the county lord, there is only one way out, take his cronies to be horse bandits, and the price of betraying the empire is heavy, and the county king will send troops to suppress the bandits and kill people. The county lord can send people to cooperate with the excellent prince, and he may not kill the veteran in battle, as long as he does not give people a handle to deal with this war, and then go to the county king Xu Tu to get out.

"See His Royal Highness the County Lord. ”

The two captains were in their fifties, seeing Mei Ying alone in front of the tent to greet them, and walked a few steps to salute the army, but the officers behind them were chaotic, the soldiers saluted, the children of the nobles in the army saluted, and the escort officers knelt down and saluted.

"There is no need to be polite in the army, old captain, please enter the account to discuss. ”

"The county lord is polite, you are waiting in line for the account. ”

The two lieutenants stayed in place, and arranged for the inspector to enter the account first, with humble wording but very strict precautions, Mei Ying endured the murderous opportunity, and the captain took refuge in the county king without suspicion.

"That's great, I'm going to ask the veterans for advice. Mei Ying pretended not to care, and asked in a low voice: "The formation of the legion is urgent, what do you two think?"

"The standard teams are not subordinate to each other, and they come from afar and lack understanding, what are the arrangements for the county lord?"

A lieutenant didn't answer the question, and Mei Ying looked at the other person: "What do you think?" The captain responded with a dry smile: "Hehe, the legion must have a prestigious general in charge, I don't know who the county lord chooses as the main general?"

"The prestige of the head of the Ling Bo Biao Battalion is well-known, with him as the commander-in-chief, and you two deign to be the deputy generals, and concurrently serve as the captains of the two battalions, is it appropriate for me to arrange it like this?"

The two guards leaned out of the tent and shook their heads, signaling that there was no ambush, and the captain relaxed and thanked politely: "Thank you for your promotion, the veteran should obey the dispatch of the county lord." ”

The three of them spoke between the officers all entered the tent, Mei Ying invited her, two lieutenants followed her into the tent, there were only about 20 seats in the tent, the officers stood behind and waited, the captain stood in front of the left and right first, and waited for Mei Ying to sit on the main general's seat, the two of them sat down, and the etiquette was thoughtful and could not find a flaw.

"On the way to the march, everything is hasty and simple, you don't have to be restrained, there is good tea over there, you brew and drink it yourself. Mei Ying greeted everyone with a smile, and the officers did not move, just as the county lord was polite, but she stretched out her hand and pointed to several officers, including two of the chief of the guard, and said with a smile: "The new tea of the royal tribute, you don't drink it, don't call me stingy." You, you, you, and you, go make tea quickly, and there will be wine and food after the meeting. ”

Several officers didn't dare to be rude in public, they didn't want to, they went to make tea, some noble children couldn't stand it, and they didn't wait for Mei Ying's orders, so they went to help by themselves, and they had to hold the tea cup and salute it, and the rank in the army was strict, of course, they respected the county lord and the captain first.

"Lord Xie gives tea. ”

After the two lieutenants thanked him, he blew the aroma with the tea cup, and put it next to him without drinking it, Mei Ying was not surprised, and put down the tea cup lightly, the captain secretly scolded in his heart for being too cautious, the tea was made by a trusted officer, and it must have been tried with a silver needle, and it was only served after it was verified that it was not poisonous, and the county lord should drink it first, how could there be a chance to poison.

"Studying soldiers is hard, good tea is rare, we have a meeting while drinking, and we don't have to be limited to the form. ”

Mei Ying's easy-going attitude further dispelled the officers' vigilance, with the children of the nobles taking the lead, more officers went to serve tea cups, and the captains who were relieved would not interfere, and the officers in the tent walked around, and they could detect the abnormalities outside at any time.

"The formation of the cadet corps, the three lieutenants agreed, the battalions reached a consensus, the military situation is urgent, I will not explain much, put forward the preliminary plan, and everyone will discuss it together. ”

"Please give me the command. The two lieutenants remained silent.

Mei Ying explained the deployment plan in detail, and when she heard that she wanted to draw out the students and mix the standard teams, the captain laughed too naΓ―vely, and it was okay to draw people, and he would absolutely cooperate, and take the opportunity to drive away the students who were unwilling to clearly express their allegiance to the king of the county.

The formation of the cadet corps, involving all aspects, Yu Wenjie's draft plan is more than a dozen pages, Mei Ying also played on the spot from time to time, drank a few cups of tea in half an hour and did not finish, the officer listened and drank tea, the captain saw that her face was not different, and no longer suspected that the tea was poisonous, the two of them picked up the teacup, and it was really a rare good tea, and they drank a few more cups, and there was no feeling of poisoning.

"It is inevitable that there are inconsiderate aspects of the plan, if you have good suggestions, you can say the best at the meeting, it doesn't matter if you don't say it, after the meeting, go to the captain to make suggestions, summarize it and then make modifications, and come directly to the Chinese army, I have been in the standard camp for more than four years, and I am a member of the student soldiers, and I have no interest to mix a flag guard commander, two levels lower than you. ”

Mei Ying's joke attracted a good-natured chuckle from the officer, and even the captain smiled, the county lord was the sentry chief, and it was a headache to be assigned to that patrol team, who dared to give her an order, no wonder Gao Yuan, the captain of the Lingbo standard team, used the excuse of reconnaissance and sneaked out for almost a month without returning to the team.

"County Lord, the plan is very well thought out, the standard battalion is still marching in a hurry, and the officers must not leave the team for too long, can we be allowed to go back to discuss, and then report the results to the Chinese army." A lieutenant put down the teacup to ask Mei Ying's opinion, and many officers who wanted to show off in front of the county lord had to shut up, what a good opportunity to show their talents, let the captain waste himself.

"Well, the wine banquet prepared by the rear camp is the material specially prepared by the transport team, and the captain and you will go to the banquet with me. Mei Ying stood up and was about to lead the way, and the two captains got up and said goodbye: "The military affairs of the standard camp are complicated, we have failed the good intentions of the county lord, the officers who are not on duty will stay, and the others will go back to the camp to run errands, please ask the county lord for permission." ”

"The captain is diligent in military affairs, which is the blessing of the cadet corps, Duguying admires it, and before leaving Beijing, he brought a few good weapons and gave them to the captain to go into battle to kill the enemy. ”

Mei Ying took off the long sword hanging cross-hung on the screen, and stroked the scabbard with her hand, the captain looked at the hilt of the sword inlaid with jade, and the scabbard was carved with a golden dragon.

The county lord has no malice, the captain is unwilling to lose his etiquette, and pulls out the long sword in half, but seeing the cold light shining, the sword name is engraved near the hilt of the sword, the warrior has to meet a good soldier, instinctively observe, a green and a white rainbow, it is actually the old king who wore it on the battle array, but the nose smelled a faint fragrance, and he was slightly stunned and immediately understood, the county lord's daughter, afraid that the sword was sprinkled with perfume, if the good soldier has a spirit, she should also be dizzy, and she has not killed the enemy to drink blood, and was teased and humiliated by the woman first.

"Thank you for the sword from the county lord, and vow to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions!"

The two captains put away their long swords and said goodbye, Mei Ying sent out the big tent of the Chinese army, watched them take the guards to lead the horses away, and arranged for someone to send the officers who stayed behind to the banquet, with a faint smile on their faces.

"How can a divine soldier be given to a traitor, you are in a catastrophe!"
