As the carriage slowly stopped, a huge camp appeared in front of it.
Rows of fences surrounded Nuo Da's camp. In front of the camp gate, six soldiers stood neatly blocking the main entrance. Behind them, two groups of soldiers straightened their backs like steel spears and held long poles to guard the entrance of the camp. .
As soon as the carriage stopped, a soldier who looked like an officer came forward.
After Wang Chengen showed his token, he immediately ran to the camp.
Opening the car window a little, Zhao Jun looked along the window towards the gate, looking at the two teams of soldiers standing like javelins at the door, with no wavering in his eyes.
Qing'er also glanced curiously and couldn't help but admired: "Your Majesty, it seems that General Cheng is also a good soldier. Look at how energetic those guards are!"
Zhao Jun shook his head and looked away from the window. He leaned back against the car and squinted his eyes to pretend to be asleep. He said in a leisurely manner:
“It’s just facade, anyone can do it.
The real situation has to be seen on the inside. If it's just a good-looking building, it's just gold and jade on the outside.
Whether Cheng Cheng knew about soldiers or not, he soon found out. "
After saying that, Zhao Jun closed his mouth and seemed to have fallen asleep.
Zhao Jun and his party were not kept waiting for too long, but within a quarter of an hour, Cheng Cheng led a group of military officials, both large and small, to the gate of the camp. He saluted respectfully in front of the car and said loudly:
"I'm waiting for you to come and inspect the camp!"
In the carriage, the sound outside just sounded, and when Qing'er was about to wake up Zhao Jun, Zhao Jun's eyes suddenly opened.
After Qing'er checked the clothes again to make sure there were no flaws, Zhao Jun slowly walked out of the carriage and stood on the shaft of the carriage to see a group of officers from the Yunzhou garrison saluting respectfully beside the carriage.
There are 2,500 troops stationed in Yunzhou. Generally speaking, the officials who can accompany the defense troops to greet important people are at least middle- and senior-level officials in the military.
Among the 2,500-strong garrison, the only person who could be considered a mid- to high-level official was at least the Yuhou of the camp capital.
Above Du Yuhou there are also the deputy commander of the battalion, the commander of the battalion, the military capital Yuhou, the deputy commander of the army, and the commander of the army, that is, Cheng Cheng. Because he is stationed in one place and has the title of Yunzhou defense envoy, it is generally called defense. An envoy can also be called a commander in the army.
According to the military system of the Song Dynasty, a battalion had 500 people and three mid-level officers.
The first army has 2,500 people, five battalions, and a total of 18 middle and senior officers.
Now all 18 people are here, but except for Cheng Cheng, the defense envoy, who stands upright and has a military look, the other 17 people are all crooked, and each one is bigger than the last.
Don’t get me wrong, being big doesn’t mean it’s all muscle, these guys are just plain fat!
Not only do they not have the tough temperament that soldiers on the battlefield should have, but they all look wretched. Just looking at them makes people frown, wondering whether the army led by such an officer can really have combat effectiveness?
Zhao Jun did not hide his dissatisfaction, and the disdain on his face was revealed without any concealment.
Cheng Cheng, who was standing at the front, felt something was wrong in the atmosphere. He raised his head and took a sneak peek and saw the look on Zhao Jun's face, and couldn't help but curse in his heart.
These idiots, I have already told them on weekdays, just have fun, but as an officer, you must at least maintain the appearance of a soldier, but as a result, everyone is full of fat, and this meat is not meant to be lost. It can be reduced, but a flaw is revealed all at once. What a bunch of waste!
But now is not the time to teach them a lesson. I secretly decided to wait until today's incident is over and then give them a good look. However, my actions immediately diverted my attention and said again:
"Your Majesty, it is a great honor for you to come to our Yunzhou Army to inspect the camp in person. This is a great honor for the army's sergeants. The soldiers have been looking forward to it for a long time. You'd better hurry up and follow the general to inspect the camp!"
"Oh~ are you really honored by this king's arrival?"
Zhao Jun asked with a half-smile, and then without waiting for Cheng Cheng and others to answer, he jumped off the carriage shaft, patted his robe to clear away the dust from the jump, and even with his big hands behind his back, Zhao Jun Walking towards the camp gate.
A voice that sounded like a joke sounded in the ears of the Yunzhou Army generals:
"Looking at the size of the generals, it seems that the food of our Yunzhou Army is good. The court has so many soldiers with such good salaries and good food. I hope you will not disappoint me and let the money spent by the court go to waste..."
The backs of the generals immediately became soaked after these words, as if they had fallen into water, and the large amounts of sweat almost soaked their clothes!
Cheng Cheng turned around and glared at a "huge" general, then snorted and quickly turned back to follow Zhao Jun and the others who were about to enter the military camp.
The other generals looked at each other and immediately trotted to catch up, taking out their handkerchiefs and hurriedly wiping the sweat from their bodies.
As mentioned before, Nanyun School is very large, and it is not just a school. The Yunzhou Army's camp is around the school.
The entire Nanyun campus including the camp covers an area of nearly thirty acres!
Zhao Jun and his party finally arrived at today's destination after walking for nearly a third of the time.
The most central location of Nanyun Campus!
At this time, these generals must have given orders when the guards came in to report, and dense soldiers on the campus of Nuo University have already gathered here.
Although it was not very neat, a large group of Wuyangyang people managed to form a passable square formation.
It's just that Zhao Jun noticed that the soldiers in the first few rows were okay, and they all stood in a decent manner. But if you look back carefully, you can find that there is a soldier who looks careless. He secretly picked his nose and hid behind other soldiers, thinking that no one could see him, but Zhao Jun happened to see his little movements while walking around.
If it were just him, he could be said to be an individual thorn in the side of the army.
It's not surprising that every army has such things as spikes.
But the actual situation is that under Zhao Jun's careful observation, except for the outermost rows of soldiers of the phalanx, the closer you look to the center of the phalanx, you can see more casual soldiers doing small movements, and there is no trace of soldiers at all. look.
If it weren't for the Song leather armor on his body, people who didn't know would have thought he was a slut from somewhere!
Zhao Jun already had guesses about the origins of these people, but he didn't make any move and continued to walk forward silently, as if he hadn't seen anything.
Cheng Cheng, who had been peeking at Zhao Jun's expression occasionally, felt relieved when he saw the calm expression on Zhao Jun's face.
"Fortunately, okay, I shouldn't have been discovered. I should be able to get through today."
As he thought like this, the burden in his heart was relieved, his back became straighter, and he followed Zhao Jun and others quickly to the judging platform.
Standing on the commander's platform and looking around at the military formation below, Zhao Jun looked serious and said loudly:
"The soldiers have worked tirelessly to protect the safety of Yunzhou. I am here to say to you on behalf of the court, thank you for your hard work!"
The military formation below fell silent after hearing these words, but after only a moment, they immediately responded loudly and intelligently: "I swear to serve the imperial court to the death, may Prince Yun live a thousand years!"
The other soldiers who followed immediately reacted and followed immediately.
"Swear to the death to serve the imperial court, may Prince Yun live a thousand years!"
"Swear to the death to serve the imperial court, may Prince Yun live a thousand years!"
"Swear to the death to serve the imperial court, may Prince Yun live a thousand years!"
The high-pitched voices grew louder and louder, and soon the entire Nanyun Campus was filled with the neat responses of thousands of people!
