The flowers bloomed yesterday, but no one knows when they withered.
Prince Duan's Mansion stands quietly in the bustling city, but it feels like it is isolated from the world. There are not many people in the world who remember how talented the master here was, and no one associates him with the throne of the Supreme Emperor. Emperor Yonghua has not been here for a long time. The last time he visited was twenty-seven years ago. At that time, when he first ascended the throne, everything was difficult to understand, and no one around him could be trusted, so he had to seek advice from King Duan, who had retired.
"Master, we're here!" Ni Juzheng jumped off his horse, bowed and reported into the sedan carriage.
Emperor Yonghua got out of his sedan chair and stood in front of the gate of Prince Duan's Mansion. He couldn't help but recall all the past events, and he couldn't help but feel sad. "Brother Duan Wang is the closest brother and sister to my compatriots. How come we have been in such trouble all these years?"
"Ju Zheng, go call the door!" Emperor Yonghua sighed heavily and said softly to Ni Juzheng.
Ni Juzheng stepped forward and patted the door buckle as he was told. The door was quickly opened from the inside, and Ni Juzheng was seen whispering a few words to the soldiers, who then hurried inside.
When I revisit my old place, there is nothing like the past. Twenty-seven years is like a snap of the fingers, like waking up from a dream. But the dream has passed away, and the young man's temples have turned white. What can I do?
"Your Majesty, my prince said he doesn't want to see guests." The steward of Prince Duan's Mansion walked over, his feet shaking slightly, and he said tremblingly.
Emperor Yonghua looked in with a look of regret on his face, and was about to leave when he heard the butler say hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the prince has something to tell me."
"What are you talking about?" Emperor Yonghua turned around and asked.
The steward respectfully replied: "The prince only said six words, 'Challenge the enemy's leader and capture the thief king'"
When Emperor Yonghua heard this, he was thoughtful, suddenly laughed, and said to himself: "Yes, that's exactly what it should be!" He turned around and rushed away.
The sun is rising and the sun is shining on the earth. It is really the best weather that has not happened in a long time. Good weather, good omen, good luck.
In the inner courtyard of the Salt Transport Government Office, there was a scene of farewell and reluctance. Bai Lisi and Haitang stood under the corridor, watching Mei Siyuan and Mei Yuanchen go out, their tears falling uncontrollably. "Madam, you don't have to worry anymore. The master and the young master will go out to fight for the people, and they will be protected by the Zhenwu Emperor. This battle will be a great victory, defeating the enemy in one fell swoop, and returning safely!" Haitang said, holding Baili Si's arm.
Bai Lisi looked at Haitang's bloodshot eyes, smiled reluctantly, held her hands, and nodded gently.
Yesterday, we made an agreement with Guo Zimu that this morning, the Salt Transportation Government would go to the military camp to order troops. Sure enough, when Mei Siyuan and his son arrived at the military camp at three o'clock in the morning, the cavalry were already lined up and ready to go. They counted the number of people and found that there were 4,500 men and horses. According to the plan last night, the cavalry was divided into two teams. One team of 3,500 people was led by Mei Siyuan and rushed to Mianzhou to assist Xu Ding'an's tribe. It was accompanied by six Taoist priests from Zhenwu Temple, including Yi Qilin and Zhan Cheng; the other team A thousand people, led by Mei Yuanchen, rushed to a village called "Xiaoxiankou" in Jue Kingdom. They were accompanied by fifteen Zhenwu Temple Taoist priests such as Zhantong and Zhanjue. At this time, all the rations of Shatuo's army were exhausted. Store here.
Mei Yuanchen stood in front of the team and shouted: "I am Mei Yuanchen, the birth supervisor of Huazi in the capital city. I am currently holding the golden order of His Royal Highness the Prince to hold the post of thousands of husbands. From now on, I am the leader of the thousand of you." Chief! All of you, from hundreds of people down, are subject to my control. You will act and act accordingly and obey my orders. If you violate any of them, you will be severely punished according to military law!"
"Wow~~~Wow~~~" There were voices of discussion among a thousand people, obviously not convinced by Mei Yuanchen, a young man.
"Where is the Centurion?" Mei Yuanchen asked loudly.
Several responses came from the team, and ten people lazily walked out.
Mei Yuanchen looked at them, frowned deeply, and said in a cold voice: "The chief officer gave the order, and the soldiers were noisy. Is this how you lead the troops?"
"Mr. Mei, haha, fighting is not about studying, and the battlefield is not about being a prison guard. You are a child and it is difficult to hold a knife, so why do you come to join in the fun?" A rugged centurion said with a sneer.
Mei Yuanchen looked at him with a smile, then glanced at the remaining nine people, and asked: "Do you think I am a weak scholar who cannot fight?"
All ten people laughed but did not answer.
Suddenly, like a gust of wind blowing by, the centurion who had spoken previously was knocked down heavily.
"Poof!" The centurion spat out a mouthful of mud and blood and looked around in horror, "Who is it?"
The more than 900 people in the team, except for the first few people who saw what seemed to be Mei Yuanchen taking action, the rest of the team didn't know what happened. Why was the centurion suddenly kicked away?
Mei Yuanchen said coldly: "Don't you think I'm a weak scholar? I'll pick ten of you and beat you all over the floor to see if you accept it or not?"
These nine people, you looked at me, I looked at you, winked at each other, and then attacked together. However, as quickly as it comes, it goes as quickly as it comes. "The sound of nine heavy objects falling to the ground was heard, and all nine centurions lay on the ground, all with shocked faces.
Mei Yuanchen had already expected last night that since he was young and not performing his duties in the army, even if he had the golden order from his adoptive father, the generals here would definitely not accept it. So today, without reservation, he knocked down these ten centurions with lightning speed and established his prestige in front of this group of people. Looking at some astonished expressions, the effect is indeed good.
"Hundred Fu!" Mei Yuanchen shouted loudly.
After hearing this, the ten people quickly arranged their military appearance and stood in front of the team.
"Listen! There are no jokes in the army. You must obey every word I say. If there is any violation, there will be no mercy!" Mei Yuanchen said. Duanfuzi has a saying, "The one who leads the troops makes the order come out like a mountain. The one who orders the troops is precise in his orders, and the one who executes them is decisive in carrying out the orders. Don't leave any doubts or confusions!"
"Yes!" The ten people had just finished the matter. They knew that the man in front of them was really a young master. They did not dare to disobey any more and answered in a serious voice.
Mei Yuanchen has achieved the effect of establishing his power and does not want to pursue the crime of slighting these ten people anymore. Looking at these ten people, he nodded slowly and shouted: "Century, tell me your name!"
"Liu Shanshui!"
"Gao Facai!"
"Wu Shengnan!"
"Dong Dawei!" The last centurion also reported his name.
Mei Yuanchen looked at these ten people and asked, "Do you know why we are going here?"
"I don't know!" everyone shook their heads and replied.
"The Shatuo Kingdom has led troops to invade the territory and has captured Tianmen City and Yanzhou. At this time, the general at the outpost is leading troops to stop them in Mianzhou!" Mei Yuanchen said in a lucky crossing voice, so that there would be four thousand and five people here. Hundreds of people can hear it.
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of crying came from the team:
"Ah~~~My home is in Tianmen City. My wife and children are still in the city. General, hurry up and send troops!"
"I'm from Luozikou outside Yanzhou City. Damn it! My son! Mine."
"Mom! You must be safe and sound! My son is coming to kill you!"
The soldiers stationed in the military camp are all recruited from the county. Mei Yuanchen checked the military status last night. Among the 4,500 people here, 8900 are from Tianmen City, Yanzhou and Mianzhou. So just now he deliberately made a sound to inform Shatuo that the army had arrived at these three places, in order to make everyone feel the same hatred towards the enemy.
Yi Qilin, Zhan Tong, Zhan Kong and others on the side saw this and couldn't help but marvel. They all thought: "In an instant, Mei Yuanchen established military power and gathered the morale of the army. He is really the style of a general!"
"General! Let's break camp and go to Mianzhou!" Gao Facai knelt on the ground and cried. He is an authentic Mianzhou City native, and hundreds of members of his clan live in Mianzhou City. Thinking that Shatuo's army was attacking Mianzhou at this moment, he felt extremely painful. "Once the city of Mianzhou is captured, how can the whole family ensure that every mistake is made! Once the enemy army slaughters the city, then I will become Gao Mazi." A lonely man without any friends."
Mei Yuanchen took a deep breath and said: "We are small and cannot resist the enemy. The order we received this time is to burn the enemy's food and grass so that they can return without food!"
After listening to Mei Yuanchen's words, everyone calmed down a little.
Mei Yuanchen walked a hundred feet, found Mei Siyuan, and said, "Dad, let's set off early. Grandpa Yun and Uncle Gu are keeping an eye on the military resources at the county administration department. Nothing can go wrong." Mei Yuanchen led the army for the first time. , eager to try, smiled and said Mei Siyuan Dao.
Mei Siyuan looked at Mei Yuanchen and told him: "Chen'er, you are still young. When you encounter any problem, please discuss it with your senior brothers! Once the food and grass are burned, leave quickly and come to Mianzhou to meet us!"
"That's right. The kid will understand!" Mei Yuanchen replied. After finishing speaking, he walked to the front of the thousand-man team under his command, jumped on his horse, and shouted: "Bring out the camp!"
Suddenly, thousands of horses came out, wrapped in dust and headed west.
