The sky is getting lighter.
In the Changchun Hall of Prince Yan's Mansion.
Xu Yi slowly pulled out his aching arms and got up from the bed.
After carefully tucking Wang Qiujin into bed, Xu Yi covered his waist and slowly crossed the mountain of clothes.
Walking to the back garden, slowly assume the starting posture of the eight-part Vajra Kung Fu.
I don't know if it was because of the bowl of hangover soup last night, or because Wang Qiujin was so soft and beautiful last night.
After a night of wind and rain, even Xu Yi's body, which he had been practicing all the time, was a little overwhelmed.
After performing the Eight Parts of Vajra Kung Fu twice, Xu Yi was sweating slightly and felt an indescribable sense of relief all over his body.
Xu Yi took several slow and deep breaths. After his breathing stabilized, he walked to the weapon rack.
He took out a long gun from the weapon rack and practiced stabbing, dialing and other actions with an extremely serious look on his face.
Less than half an hour later.
When the eastern sky bloomed with golden glow, Xu Yi slowly retracted his spear.
After rubbing my slightly sore and numb arms, I ended today’s morning practice by performing the eight steps of Vajra Kung Fu once.
After Xu Yi took a short rest, he stood up and walked towards the Changchun Palace.
As soon as Fang walked into the Changchun Hall, a faint fragrance went straight to Xu Yi's nose.
A smile appeared on Xu Yi's lips, and he couldn't help but walk faster to the side hall.
As soon as Fang entered the side hall, he saw a graceful figure flying up and down in the side hall that had been transformed into a kitchen.
"Why are you up so early?" Xu Yi stepped forward and reached out to take the porridge from Wang Qiujin's hand.
Wang Qiujin's face was particularly rosy and she whispered: "I woke up when you got up, but... I just didn't have the strength to open my eyes."
Xu Yi smiled when he heard this, put down the bowl and quickly stretched out his hand to gently scrape the bridge of Wang Qiujin's nose.
Wang Qiujin's complexion instantly became rosier.
After breakfast, Xu Yi put on a dark jade-colored prince's uniform and walked out of the Changchun Palace.
As soon as Fang walked out of Xiaoqiang, Zhao Shou, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly stepped forward.
"Sixth Master." Zhao Shou bowed his hands in salute, and then reported: "The Prime Minister of Shanggu County, Lu Yansheng, wishes to see you."
'Lu Yansheng? , Xu Yi paused slightly when he heard this, and murmured in a low voice.
After he finished speaking, Xu Yi raised his head and glanced at the Chengnan County Government Office, then chuckled and said, "Let him go to Chengyun Hall."
"Yes." Zhao Shou agreed, and after Xu Yi stepped into the gate of Chengyun Hall, he quickly turned around and left.
A moment later, Lu Yansheng followed Zhao Shou and walked quickly towards Chengyun Hall.
"Your Majesty, Lu Yansheng, the Prime Minister of Shanggu County, pays homage to His Highness King Yan." Lu Yansheng bowed respectfully and bowed his hands.
Xu Yi sat down behind the table at the top and slowly asked, "What's the matter with Lu Juncheng coming here today?"
"Go back to His Highness King Yan and ask." Lu Yansheng bowed his hands again and said, "I am bothering you today because of my stay in the nursing home."
After he finished speaking, Lu Yansheng paused for a moment, and then told him all about the purpose of coming today.
After a while.
Xu Yi nodded slightly and said with no sadness or joy on his face: "The Zhu family is interested."
Lu Yansheng couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this. Xu Yi's words were tantamount to turning the story of Zhu Zongbao completely.
Lu Yansheng composed himself, said a few polite words, and left.
After Lu Yansheng left, Xu Yi raised his head and looked at the Zhu family, saying nothing for a long time.
….
If the Zhu family is really on the road, then everyone will be happy.
If the Zhu family is duplicitous, they are vacillating from left to right.
Then the final result is nothing more than eradication.
If others act in this way, it will inevitably end up with both sides hurting.
But Xu Yi is different. He has at least dozens of ways to uproot the Zhu family with minimal losses.
After a while.
Zhao Shou walked into the Chengyun Hall again and reported: "Six Masters, the horses are ready."
Xu Yi nodded slightly
Head, stood up and took Zhao Shou out of Chengyun Hall.
The day before yesterday, Xu Yi had received a joint document from Bai Qidong, a lieutenant in the Department of Civil Affairs of the Ministry of Revenue, and Yan Xiaohu, a lieutenant in the Department of Civil Affairs of the Ministry of War.
The document states that grain, ordnance, war horses and other items will arrive at King Yan's camp outside Juyang City around noon today.
own time.
The east gate of Prince Yan's Mansion, which had been covered in dust for twenty-one years, was slowly opened from the inside.
Dozens of semi-armored soldiers holding long spears quickly poured out from the east gate.
Finally, they were arranged neatly on the left and right outside the east gate.
A few breaths later, the sound of horse hooves came from Prince Yan's palace.
After a while, the originally gentle sound of horse hooves gradually became deafening.
The rumble of horse hooves came from far to near, running quickly towards the east gate.
After more than ten breaths, more than a hundred elite soldiers wearing half-armor and carrying horses at their waists rushed out of the east gate of Prince Yan's Mansion, surrounding Xu Yi, who was wearing a dark jade prince's uniform.
After leaving the east gate, a long line of cavalry went straight to the east gate of Juyang City.
...
...
More than ten miles out of the city gate, a huge camp spread out on the ground like an ancient beast.
Xu Yi raised his hand slightly to signal the soldiers beside him to slow down his horse.
When he was less than ten steps away from the camp, Xu Yi paused and got off his horse, turned over and dismounted, and walked straight towards the main entrance of the camp.
"I will pay my respects to the prince." As Xu Yifang approached, Lu Wensu and other officials from Prince Yan's Palace, who had arrived for a long time, quickly stepped forward and saluted.
Xu Yi nodded slightly and then motioned for everyone to excuse themselves.
Xu Yi passed by the officials of Prince Yan's Palace and the clerks of Lao Wu's trading firm.
Slowly push open the slightly dilapidated camp gate.
As the creaking sound became more and more harsh, the camp that had been sealed in dust for hundreds of years slowly appeared in Xu Yi's eyes.
Maybe it's because I haven't been exposed to fireworks for a long time.
Although the camp was exceptionally clean, it gave Xu Yi a particularly depressed feeling.
Xu Yi paused and stared at the camp for a long time.
After an unknown amount of time, Xu Yi gradually came back to his senses, turned around and walked towards the war horse again.
After getting on his horse, he took Zhao Shou, Gu Dengyun and other hundreds of soldiers and slowly walked around the camp to view the flowers.
After all, this place is exclusive to King Yan. Although King Yan has been vacant for twenty-one years, no county guard has dared to use this place during these twenty-one years.
Because no one knows whether there will be a new King of Yan in the future.
In line with the principle of doing less than doing more, the successive county governors would arrange manpower to clean and repair King Yan's camp every now and then.
Precisely because of this, although King Yan's camp at this time gave people a sense of depression, it itself was not messy at all.
After Xu Yi took a quick tour, he had a simple understanding of King Yan's camp.
When Xu Yi arrived at the camp gate again.
….
Dense black dots appeared silently on the official road not far away.
As time went by, the small black dots gradually turned into densely packed figures in the lake.
Gradually, gradually, the figure of Mohu gradually became clear.
"Put up the big banner." Xu Yi calmed down slightly and then calmly ordered.
"Follow the order!" Gu Dengyun responded loudly, clasping his fists heavily after hearing this.
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Dengyun turned his horse's head and rushed towards the hinterland of the camp.
After a while, a large flag with the character "Yan" surrounded by green dragons slowly rose from the hinterland of the Zizheng Village.
As the banner with the Chinese character "Yan" slowly rose into the sky, riders and carriages suddenly ran out on the official road in the distance.
One horse and one car broke away from the team and ran quickly towards the main entrance of the camp.
After a while, a horse and a cart stopped more than a hundred paces away from the main entrance of the camp.
A middle-aged man wearing a crimson official robe quickly walked out of the carriage.
Then he and the middle-aged man in full armor beside him quickly ran towards Xu Yi.
Treat both parties
When they were still three steps away, the visitor paused in tacit agreement.
One person cupped his hands, the other cupped his fists, and the two of them saluted and beat him one after the other: "Bai Qidong, a doctor in the Qing Li Division of the Ministry of Household Affairs, pays homage to His Highness King Yan."
"The last general, Yan Xiaohu, a doctor in the Qing Li Division of the Military Department's Arsenal, pays homage to His Highness King Yan."
Xu Yi turned over and dismounted, waved his hands slightly and said, "Mr. Bai and Mr. Yan don't need to be polite."
"Thank you, Your Highness, King Yan." Bai Qidong and Yan Xiaohu thanked each other before straightening up.
"Your Highness, King Yan, these are the handover documents and account books from the Ministry of Accounts. Please review them." Bai Qidong took out a document and an account book from his arms, bent his back slightly, and raised them above his head with both hands.
"Your Majesty, Prince Yan, here are the handover documents and account books from the Ministry of War. Please take a look at them." Yan Xiaohu followed closely and took out the documents and account books before reporting.
Xu Yi nodded slightly, and his eyes signaled Zhao Shou to go and retrieve it.
After Zhao Shou took over the documents and account books, Xu Yi slowly said, "Mr. Bai and Mr. Yan have had a long journey, so please go to Prince Yan's Mansion to rest first."
After the two of them bowed and thanked each other with understanding, they left together.
After the two figures disappeared from the official road, Zhao Shou walked towards Xu Yi with the document in hand.
"Sixth Master." Zhao Shou respectfully handed the documents and account books to Xu Yi.
Xu Yi reached out to take the documents and account books and looked at Lu Wensu and other officials of Prince Yan's palace.
He ordered: "After receiving, all items will be inventoried again."
"Follow the order." Lu Wensu's face straightened when he heard this, and he immediately raised his hands and saluted.
After he finished speaking, Xu Yi and ten Wenxin, who were disguised as personal guards, mounted their horses and walked towards the Chinese army's tent in the camp.
...
...
Two quarters of an hour later.
The long dragon in the distance finally arrived outside King Yan's camp.
Lu Wensu and other officials from Prince Yan's Mansion quickly came forward to greet him.
Whether it's an official from Prince Yan's Mansion or a clerk from Lao Wu Trading Firm.
At least 80% of these people have participated in Guanzhong disaster relief.
A mere half-year's supply of grain and some ordnance, war horses, etc., to them, is no different than Zhang Fei eating bean sprouts - a piece of cake.
Just as the counting and registration were being carried out in an orderly manner in front of the camp gate.
In King Yan's camp, inside the Chinese army's tent, Xu Yi slowly opened the documents from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War.
After reading it carefully, Xu Yi casually placed the document on the table in front of him, then reached out and picked up the Ministry of War account book beside the table.
….
The Ministry of War account books are nothing more than an extended version of the documents.
Apart from the detailed records of the types and specific quantities of ordnance, there is no other content.
Just as Zhan Zhu said after the royal decree was issued, except that the war horses were prepared according to the standards of a guard camp. ,
The rest of the ordnance was prepared according to the standards of the three guard battalions.
Of course, the so-called standards are the minimum standards, which is a battalion of three thousand troops.
Xu Yi calmed down, put down the account book of the Ministry of War in his hand, and then picked up the account book of the Ministry of Household.
Unlike the accounts of the Ministry of War, the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts are incredibly detailed.
How many days, what hours, how many people ate how much food, and how much money was spent.
The day, time, how many livestock ate how much fodder, etc. are all recorded in detail.
When Xu Yi saw this, his fingers that were flipping through suddenly paused on the account book.
Based on his understanding of the accounts department, such account books would never be so detailed.
'Bai Qidong. , Xu Yi murmured in a low voice, and couldn't help but think of Bai Qidong's expression when he met Bai Qidong just now.
and his conduct throughout the process.
After a moment, a clear smile appeared on Xu Yi's lips, and he murmured in a low voice: "No wonder Yan Xiaohu, who is also a fifth-grade doctor, would be so willing to fall behind Bai Qidong in everything."
"I see."
Xu Yi smiled and secretly made up his mind, if Bai Qidong is really as he guessed.
If we capture Chang'an City in the future, we will definitely take this person under our command.
It should be noted that sometimes a logistics talent can play no less role on the battlefield than a general who is good at fighting.
Sometimes it will win steadily.
Xu Yi composed himself and put the matter aside for the time being.
Then he continued to look through the account books in his hand.
After a while, Xu Yi slowly put down the account book in his hand, closed his eyes slightly and continued to calculate in his mind.
After a while, Xu Yi opened his eyes again, and an unexplainable smile appeared on his lips.
If his calculations were correct, after excluding people eating horse chews, the remaining food and grass would be enough for half a year.
Xu Yi composed himself, got up and left the Chinese army tent.
When he arrived at the armory, several originally empty armories were already filled with all kinds of ordnance.
"Your Majesty." Lu Wensu walked quickly from the granary.
Xu Yi nodded slightly and asked, "Have the inventory of weapons and other items been completed?"
"Go back to your lord." Lu Wensu answered with cupped hands: "All kinds of ordnance, war horses and other items have been inventoried."
With that said, Lu Wensu took out a brand new account book from his sleeve and presented it to Xu Yi with both hands.
Xu Yi reached out to take the account book, briefly read it and handed it to Lu Wensu again.
There is no difference in the amounts recorded in the two account books.
Xu Yi slowly stepped forward and walked into one of the armories.
He took out a hard bow from the armory. When he walked to a deserted place, he bent the bow and aimed an arrow in the distance.
With a slight release of Xu Yi's fingers, the arrow shot out into the distance with a sound of breaking through the air.
After a while, the arrow hit the window sill of the camp in the distance accurately.
Xu Yi's face turned red for a moment, and then he put down the bow in his hand.
The order was given: "Ming Gu Dengyun to lead fifty soldiers to test the ordnance immediately."
Upon hearing this, Lu Wensu immediately raised his hands and saluted, "Yes."
After Lu Wensu walked away, Xu Yi put down the bow and arrow in his hand and looked at the leader Wen Xin who was pretending to be a personal guard beside him and asked: "Is there anyone with good skills and archery in Wen Xin?"
The leader of Wenxin raised his hands in salute and said, "Master, there is one person among Wenxin's hundred guards who is good at archery, especially the bow."
Xu Yi nodded when he heard this and said, "Let him be by your side tomorrow."
"Follow the order." Leader Wenxin bowed his hands and saluted.
After he finished speaking, Xu Yi looked into the distance again. The arrow stuck on the window sill of the camp was missing, and he didn't speak for a long time.
Except for Xu Yi, few people may know that he just clearly aimed at the eaves of the house, but...
Of course, this is not because the hard bow is not accurate enough.
But Xu Yi's archery skills really stretched his hips.
He still has this bit of self-awareness.
After all, there is a fundamental difference between a hand crossbow and a hard bow.
