When great changes occurred in Jinling City, Zhu Gaojiu transported the grain intercepted from the water transport terminal back to the military camp in Fucheng, Tongzhou. The Northern Expedition troops in Tongzhou finally had a hot meal.
Some are fish soup rice, and some are meat soup rice. The meat is pheasants, wild ducks and other animals caught by the soldiers in the woods, or birds such as sparrows and pigeons, as well as fish, shrimps and crabs fished out of the river.
Everything within a radius of two miles, whether flying in the sky, on the ground, or running in the river, was destroyed by the sergeants.
Even so, it takes forty or fifty people to share one pot. The stewed broth is filled with thick rice porridge, and white steam is steaming. It is really magical to be able to drink such a hot broth in the north in winter. Don't change it even after it comes.
Zhu Gaojie was holding a porcelain bowl filled with the same meat porridge as the sergeants. He was patrolling between the barracks with a smile.
When the sergeants who were feasting saw King Qi, they stood up solemnly and saluted: "Your Majesty!"
They admired Prince Qi from the bottom of their hearts, not just because of his status as Prince Qi. If it weren't for King Qi's robbery of grain, they would all have to rush to Shuntian hungry, how could they be so nourished.
"Everyone, sit down and eat." Zhu Gaojie waved his hand and said harmoniously, "I'm sorry for you. I made them hungry all day. It's because I didn't take good care of you."
The sergeants had tears in their eyes: "Your Majesty, please don't say that. We have all heard that it was the useless officials in the capital who failed to do their jobs properly. It was you and General Chirong who helped us collect food and grass. We were beaten for our humble positions. In all these years of fighting, I have never encountered a general who is as considerate as you are to the corporal!"
Zhu Gaojie patted the sergeant on the shoulder and said happily: "They are all good soldiers of the Ming Dynasty."
The sergeant also didn't expect Prince Qi to calm down his neighbor so much. He couldn't help being flattered and was so excited that he couldn't speak.
Zhu Gaojie was like an old leader who came to inspect, swiping his intimacy and prestige against the grassroots sergeants.
Suddenly, Zhu Gaojie saw a familiar figure in front of a barracks. He was more than eight feet tall and burly. He was wearing mountain armor. He was like a black Rakshasa. He was a Tai Sui god in the world. He had endless strength and slapped him. A fan can blow a mountain away.
This strong man is none other than Su Wen, the brother of Su Wu, an aide in Prince Qi's palace.
"I remember, didn't I transfer you to the rank of General of the Han Dynasty before? Why did you come with the Northern Expeditionary Army?" Zhu Gaojie asked curiously.
Su Wen bowed respectfully and said: "Your Majesty, I voluntarily applied to join the Northern Expeditionary Army. I don't want to die in the rank of Sanjie."
"You... are a bit interesting." Zhu Gaojie became interested.
Although the general of the Han Dynasty had a low official position and little power, he was simply a senior security guard who guarded the gates of the imperial city. But the promotion prospects of this Han general are smooth. The relatives of the common people usually serve as Han generals to give themselves a fortune. In the future, they can live their lives as casual military attachés in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. This is a good job. Generally it doesn't matter, it's impossible to get involved.
Su Wen was able to serve as a general of the Han Dynasty because Zhu Gaojie gave him such an opportunity in order to win over Su Wu's support.
But Su Wen seemed to be more ambitious. He looked down upon the future of a casual military attache and wanted to make a career on his own by relying on his true ability, rather than relying on the honors brought by his younger brother.
Very crazy. Zhu Gaojie likes crazy young people. If he is not crazy, can he still be called a young man?
Are you not crazy? Are you embarrassed to say that you are from Prince Qi's Mansion?
The prerequisite for being crazy is to have real ability. If you don't have the ability and you are so crazy, you are called a fool.
"I heard that one of you Su brothers is good at martial arts and the other is good at literature. I have seen your brother Su Wu's ability, but as for your Su Wen's skill in martial arts, I haven't seen it yet."
Zhu Gaojiu raised his fingers and said, "Come on, let me see, are you really capable, or are you just in vain?"
Su Wen asked: "My lord, what do you want to try?"
Zhu Gaojie said: "Let's compete here. This is a military camp. Let's compete on the kung fu in the military camp. Equestrian, archery, weapons, fists and kicks. Which one are you good at?"
Su Wen grinned: "Your Majesty, I won't be polite. Let's have a show of fists and kicks. I won't hurt you."
Zhu Gaojie looked at Chi Rong with a smile: "Look, this young man is really crazy."
Chirong suppressed a smile.
In the battle of Hulanhu Wenwen, he had personally seen King Qi's martial arts skills. He led the 800 knights of the Fengzi Camp like a god of death on the battlefield to chase tens of thousands of Wara iron cavalry, holding a bow as fast as a flying star. The setting sun killed Mahamu, the king of Shunning, the leader of Wala, with one arrow.
This King Qi's bravery on the battlefield is just like the overlord Xiang Yu back then!
A contest with King Qi is not looking for a fight!
…
As soon as they heard that King Qi was going to compete in the school field, the sergeants of the Northern Expedition gathered around to watch the excitement. Competitions in the army were common, but it was rare to see a prince competing.
King Qi's name was loud enough in the army, and he became famous in one battle. But the sergeants had only heard of Qi Wang Xiaoyong's name, and this was the first time they could see it with their own eyes.
"What is the background of the man competing with Prince Qi? Is it possible that he is a general?"
"Su Wen, you don't even know that this guy is as strong as a bull and the most aggressive. There are many fierce men in our fifth army camp who can be defeated by ten thousand people. This guy fought them one by one on the first day he joined the army. He fought in twelve battles." Twelve wins!”
"Good guy, I've watched a lot today. Who do you think is stronger between this fierce man and the prince?"
"That must be Prince Qi. When the emperor's grandson was surrounded by Wala people at Jiulongkou, Prince Qi led his troops to kill him and scared the Wala people out of their wits!"
"I'm so awesome!"
On the school field, Zhu Gaojie rubbed his wrist and waved to the burly Su Wen in front of him: "Come on, let's pass two moves."
"Come on, I'm not polite. My lord, don't blame me for being dirty."
Su Wen didn't hold back, and was not timid just because his opponent was a prince. The tip of his shoe swirled on the sand in the school ground, and his thighs suddenly used force to sprint forward. He clenched his fist as big as a teapot and swung it towards King Qi's face. The wind caused by the fist is like the roar of a tiger in the mountains, and the speed of the fist is so fast that it is difficult for the naked eye to react!
This made the surrounding sergeants watching the battle exclaim. When their eyes turned around, their fists had already reached King Qi's nose. No one expected that Su Wen was so cruel. He was really not afraid of crippling King Qi. !
Su Wen's attack was very fast and violent, almost in an instant, like lightning. However, Zhu Gaojie didn't even blink. He put his palm across Su Wen's wrist and used his gentle strength to hit the Tiger Fist. The huge force was released!
This hand responded to the fist with the palm and used softness to release the force. It seemed light and airy, but in fact the force backfired and almost broke Su Wen's arm!
"Fuck!"
Su Wen was greatly shocked, feeling like he was being played with, and couldn't help but spit out the fragrance.
It’s not over yet!
While Su Wen was "f*ck", Zhu Gaojie's palm had already lifted up after removing his fist strength, hit the neck of Su Wen, a burly man, and slammed it out with great force!
Su Wen was so slapped that his eyes were filled with stars, and he saw Zhu Gaojie's elbow strike, like a mountain peak, hitting his chest. Immediately, he flew backwards like a kite with its string broken!
"Plop!"
Su Wen was thrown to the ground hard, a cloud of dust arose, and stars appeared in his eyes. He felt like the world was spinning and he couldn't tell the difference between north, south, east, and west.
The eyes of the sergeants watching the battle almost popped out!
This set of moves by Prince Qi is so smooth that he doesn't even have to pass a few tricks from beginning to end, but it is dazzling and enjoyable to watch!
No one doubted that Su Wen was "playing a fake punch". Just the initial punch that was as fierce as a tiger, 99% of people couldn't catch it. However, King Qi not only caught it, but also used his strength to fight back, knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger, just like Like a bird of prey, it knocked the fierce Su Wen to the ground!
King Qi's movements cannot be said to be highly entertaining, but the sergeants can all see that this is not some fist and kick skills on the stage, but a killing technique refined on the battlefield!
Swift! Efficient! decisive!
"Okay!" A sergeant reacted from the shock and couldn't help but clapped his hands and cheered.
Today was really an eye-opener for them, and it was really fun to watch!
"Well done!"
"Absolutely awesome! Your Majesty is mighty!"
"My lord is mighty!"
"Well done!"
The surrounding sergeants shouted excitedly, looking at Zhu Gaojie with little stars in their eyes, and they fell to the ground in worship!
This prince is so fierce!
Zhu Gaojie stretched out his hand to Su Wen who was lying on the ground: "I didn't do it lightly, don't mind."
Su Wen, who had just regained his composure, turned red in the face. Before, he had said harshly not to accidentally hurt the prince, but in the end, he was knocked to the ground without even being able to get past Zhu Gaojie's hand. .
Zhu Gaojiu pulled Su Wen up and said with a smile: "You are good at boxing and kicking. Come and guard the commander's camp from now on."
This was really not a sarcasm. Zhu Gaojie really admired Su Wen and found that this young man did have two brushes and was not bragging.
Zhu Gaojie's approach is to kill the enemy with one move. If he can kill the opponent with one move, he will never wait until the second move. If he can kill the opponent directly, he will never delay. There are very few people who can survive one move under his hands. Su Wen is already outstanding if he can survive even half a move.
Su Wen mustered up the courage in his heart and said: "My skills are not as good as those of others. I will definitely practice them after I go back. I will ask the prince for advice in the future!"
"Okay, I'm waiting for you." Zhu Gaojie responded with a smile.
…
Zhu Gaojie and Chi Rong walked between the barracks and asked, "What do you think of Su Wen?"
Chirong thought for a while and said: "Although he is a little high-spirited, he is courageous enough. If he is trained properly, he will definitely be a strong general in the future. It's just that he is just a strong general. I don't see any qualifications for a general in him. .”
"I don't expect him to become a general, but this child's future is not only a fierce general, but also a loyal general." Zhu Gaojie said slowly.
"Loyal general?" Chi Rong shook his head, "I don't see that he has the talent of a loyal general. Instead, he is as unruly and difficult to reuse as General Lan Yu."
