Under the guidance of Huo Yongcheng, Yunchu began to learn bathing, dressing, burning incense, praying, meditating... these are not the important points.
The point is that Huo Yongcheng kept whispering in Yunchu's ears how much the emperor valued him and trusted him. As long as he returned victorious from this battle, Yunchu would be able to seize the throne and become a duke. As for the glory of his wife and the glorious future of his children, it would not be a problem. .
After finally waiting for Huo Yongcheng to finish chatting, Yunchu said to Huo Yongcheng: I and Your Majesty don't need this. The Tang Dynasty is restless, I am uneasy in my heart, Your Majesty issued an order, and I led the army to go on an expedition. This is inevitable.
As for the outcome, God knows.
Huo Yongcheng smiled when he heard this and said softly to Yun Chu: Your Majesty also said the same when a certain family came.
Yun Chu said helplessly: Do you have to make a certain family and His Majesty look like monarchs and ministers get along with each other?
His Majesty's harsh criticism of a certain person was well known throughout the court. A certain family said that His Majesty's bed was powerless. It was not known to everyone. Because of this, Your Majesty was furious and sent your Ministry of Rites to confiscate a certain family's money and food for ten years.
If the monarch and his ministers are really close to each other, first return the ten years of salary of a certain family.
Huo Yongcheng's face kept twitching, and he said after a long time: If someone slanders His Majesty like this, his life will be at risk, isn't this considered a favor?
Yun Chu said: It is not your majesty who saves the head of a certain family, but the great contribution a certain family has made to the Tang Dynasty over the years. The reason why your majesty does not kill me is because he is worried that no one will help him if he kills me.
If His Majesty was really someone who arranged official affairs for his ministers based on his likes and dislikes, the Tang Dynasty would have been finished long ago. Could it still be as prosperous as it is now?
As he spoke, Yun Chu pointed to the densely packed spiritual plaques of emperors and loyal ministers and martyrs of the Tang dynasty in front of him and said: Taizu, Taizong, and the famous ministers and generals who passed away are all here. They will not laugh at you if you say these things.
A certain family hopes that a hundred years later, the memorial tablet will be placed here for your Ministry of Rites to teach future generals.
So, you don't have to say these pitiful words to make a certain family go out with soldiers and never come back.
Before the war begins, we cannot say that a certain family will win, but we will definitely try our best.
If you lose the battle, just let yourself down.
Huo Yongcheng raised his head and looked at the densely packed memorial tablets on the stage in front of him. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and saluted repeatedly. He seemed to feel that Yun Chu's words were very rude.
Yunchu stood up, looked at the spiritual tablets on the high platform and said to Huo Yongcheng: What is enshrined on the platform is the past of the Tang Dynasty. A certain family standing here is the present of the Tang Dynasty. After a certain family's spiritual tablet is also placed on it, then The people standing here will be the future of Datang.
In a person's life, he has to experience the past, present, and future, and the same goes for the country.
As long as people of every era are willing to work hard to do things that belong to their own era, this inheritance can be passed down from generation to generation until it becomes immortal.
Lao Huo, when you go back, report to His Majesty and ask him to relax and take good care of his health. If a certain family sends troops to the southwest, he will come back as soon as he goes.
After saying that, Yun Chu sat cross-legged on a futon and began to close his eyes and meditate... Soon after, he seemed to have entered the deepest state of meditation.
When Yunchu woke up again, he glanced at the setting sun shining on the east window and asked Huo Yongcheng who was standing by: "Is the time here?"
Huo Yongcheng looked at Yun Chu with an unclear expression and said: Just right.
Yun Chu rubbed the short hair on his head, moved his muscles and bones with clicks, clicks, and strode out of the quiet room. He said to Yin Erhu, the leader of the soldiers guarding outside: Beat the drums and gather the generals!
After two days of immersive meditation, my body seemed to have entered a state of dormancy, and I could not feel hunger or fatigue. After returning to the Yun Family Mansion from the Imperial City's Rites Room, I began to put on my armor under the service of Yu Xiurong and the others. A heavy drumbeat sounded.
Today's drum sound is different from the Jingjie drum in the past. The drum sound is louder and more exciting.
After many years, the soldiers of the Chang'an Prefecture went out again... That's right, the soldiers of the Sichuan Prefecture were defeated so miserably that the emperor began to doubt the combat effectiveness of the Sichuan Prefecture soldiers. Therefore, this time, all the troops assigned to Yunchu were from the Chang'an Prefecture. The soldiers, as well as the soldiers of Guanzhong Prefecture, were as Yun Chu requested, fifty thousand soldiers and three thousand cavalry.
When Yun Chu finished putting on his armor, he took the same
After the armored Li Chengxiu, Yun Jin, Wen Huan, and Di Guangsi arrived at the general manager's cabin that Pei Xingjian had prepared for Yun Chu, Pei Xingjian rushed to the mansion in front of the officials from the Sixth Department of Chang'an in front of the gathered officers. Under the witness, the emperor's decree was revealed.
The emperor's decree is concise and concise - the southwest is uneven, and Zhu Yunchu is the general manager of the march to Jiannan Road to rectify it!
After Pei Xingjian finished reciting the emperor's decree in public, he deliberately unfolded the emperor's decree and walked around the crowd to let everyone present clearly see the content above, as well as the emperor's seal, the Zhongshu seal, the gate seal, and the seal of the Ministry of War.
After Pei Xingjian showed this decree that complied with all the procedures, he shouted loudly and asked: Are there any objections?
Everyone joined in and saluted: "I obey."
Pei Xingjian said loudly again: Do you have any objections?
Everyone bent down and intervened again: "Yes."
After Pei Xingjian asked three times, he handed over the decree to Yun Chu, who had been waiting for a long time. He turned around and took out a complete tiger talisman from the plate held by the ceremony officer, raised it high and said: Give the tiger talisman.
Yun Chu took the tiger talisman with both hands and whispered: Are you envious?
Pei Xingjian also whispered: The lackey is lucky.
Yunchu took the tiger talisman and naturally sat behind the only table in the hall. He placed the emperor's decree and the tiger talisman in his hand on the table, and satisfactorily tested the comfort of the chair.
When he raised his face, there was almost no emotion in his eyes. He whispered to the officials present: After the ceremony, the irrelevant people can leave.
Yong Wangxian, Ji Wangshen, Cao Wangming, and Chang'an left-behind Liu Rengui naturally left quickly with irrelevant people. Only Pei Xingjian gritted his teeth and said: This time it is really easy for you. After all, the elites of the thirty-six prefectures in Guanzhong actually Only used for hunting wildlings.
Yun Chu said expressionlessly: Who made you greedy for power? You deserve this. I pity you that you will never have the opportunity to make great military exploits in the future.
Pei Xingjian snorted angrily and walked away.
After Pei Xingqian left, Yunchu took a look at his deputy general Zhang Donghai, marching commander Shi Li Yuance, and military commander Ma Jiang Xie. These three guys were forced to come over by the emperor, and now they were all respectfully standing at the forefront wearing armor.
Zhang Donghai will not go into details, this guy is now the Commander-in-Chief of Yizhou Baiqisi, and this time he came to serve as Yun Chu's deputy general just to monitor Yun Chu.
Longshi Li Yuance was from the royal family and the youngest son of Prince Li Xiaogong of Zhao County.
Army Sima Jiang Xie is the younger brother of Right Prime Minister Jiang Ke, and his ancestor is said to be Jiang Wei of the Three Kingdoms.
The emperor must have considered sending these three people over. Although Yunchu, Li Yuance, and Jiang Xie still
So, Yunchu said to the three of them: From now on, just stir the pot and stir the pot, and don't say any unnecessary words.
Li Yuance, the one with the highest title among the three, intervened and said: If necessary, the general will give it to you, but the general will definitely repay it with death.
Yun Chu waved his hands and said: This battle is different from the past. Let's take a look at my methods.
After saying that, Yun Chu turned his attention to the thirty-six people behind them and said to the captain: "Send your names."
So stood
As Pei Zheng started, the following captains signed up one after another. After Yunchu listened carefully, he didn't hear a familiar name among the thirty-six people. Even some of the surnames were similar to those of Li Ji, Su Dingfang, Cheng Yaojin and other Zhenguan veterans are the same, but they are not from their family after all... Yunchu sighed for a moment, then smiled at the Zhechong captains present: Some people have the habit of killing generals to sacrifice to heaven on the day the army sets off. Don't worry, I don't have it here, hahaha...
Yun Chu felt that he had told a very interesting joke, but unfortunately, not one of the captains present laughed, but there was a hint of nervousness on their faces.
In their view, this joke was not funny at all. After all, the people Li Ji killed back then were officers of their own class.
Yunchu is a military general in civilian guise. This has long been a consensus among the military. It is common for civilian officials to treat military generals harshly when they lead troops on an expedition. When the war goes unfavorably, it is also military generals who take the blame. However, civilian leaders When soldiers go on an expedition, military generals can reap many benefits that civilian officials cannot understand.
When a military general leads an army on an expedition, his subordinate generals cannot be left behind, because he knows all the tricks in the army and all the ways to make money and gain benefits. Once the war goes against him, they will be the unlucky ones.
Now, Yun Chu, a bat-like guy, is here. He can't hide the obscurity in the army, and he will probably be treated harshly by the literati. Therefore, when everyone looks at Yun Chu, who is laughing alone, it is really... I can't bring myself to laugh with you.
Let me tell you something, everyone who followed me on the expedition has turned into a pig. If you don’t believe it, you can ask General Donghai, your family wealth now exceeds 80,000 guan, right?
Zhang Donghai stepped in after leaving work and said: Thanks to the commander-in-chief for his compassion.
Yun Chu smiled and said: Therefore, when it comes to post-war rewards, I will not be stingy, nor will I shamelessly engulf the military achievements of my subordinates. Even if you are not the same person as me, as long as you have indeed accomplished military achievements, you will deserve it. What's yours is still yours.
I don’t ask you all to be loyal to me. I just ask you to take my orders seriously. If you deserve to fight, fight to the death. You people are worth more if you die in battle than if you live.
If you back down from the battle...I will kill your whole family.
At this point, Yun Chu looked at the highest-ranking Li Yuance with a sad look, and said with a dark smile: Including you.
Li Yuance's scalp was numb when he was looked at by Yun Chu's venomous snake-like gaze, so he stepped in and said: The general will not dare.
After looking at Li Yuance for a while, Yunchu looked away and said with some pity: I originally wanted to kill you to sacrifice the flag...
