Chapter 571: Commanding the Expedition
It was almost evening, and Cheng Yue went to the princess's mansion and asked Nangjiazhen to go back to the palace with him. Nang Jiazhen had already prepared, and he didn't have much luggage with him, so he explained to the eight palace maids, and happily followed Cheng Yue out of the palace and returned to the palace.
That night, only the two princesses Wan Ze and Nang Jiazhen went to bed, and the three of them lay on the bed, and the devices around them were still the same as the night they got married, and they couldn't help but talk about the interesting things at the beginning, which was extremely sweet.
Early the next morning, Cheng Yue and the two princesses got up early, dressed properly, and explained the affairs of the palace to the three Cao brothers.
In the school field, the prince Tuhuan and Atahai sat on both sides of the altar, in the middle were nine shamans, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers below gathered again, eagerly looking forward to their boss - Cheng Yue, the king of Zhennan!
Cheng Yue arrived, and as soon as he appeared, many elite soldiers in the school immediately raised their weapons and let out earth-shattering cheers to show respect to Cheng Yue.
Cheng Yue saluted with a military salute, and the cheers were even louder! There are also many people who stand up to Cheng Yue to return the new military salute, and most of these people are subordinates of the so-called Thirteen Taibao.
Cheng Yue ascended the altar and bowed to Tak Huan and Atahai. Cheng Yue exchanged a few words with them, then gestured with his eyes, waved his right hand downward, and Shi Song cut off Josumur's head with a single sword, and the school field let out earth-shattering cheers!
Cheng Yue presided over the sacrifice, according to the Mongolian tradition, respecting the ancestors of heaven and earth, and then shouted: "All the armies set off!" ”
The army roared and replied, "Yes!" ”
Cheng Yue took the lead, followed by Wan Ze, Nang Jiazhen, Ku Tulun, Tuhuan, and Atahai, surrounded by elite soldiers. Rushed out of the capital like a thunderbolt. Join the army outside the city. Then gather with Warm Buhua, Angier, Ali Hague and a thousand monks, and run north along the gallop road without stopping!
Cheng Yue was addicted to horseback riding, changing from this horse to that horse from time to time, and he didn't stop at noon, galloping all the way until he couldn't see the road clearly in the evening before stopping to camp and drink horses, and ran out for more than 200 miles.
Horseback riding is actually not easy, and it takes a lot of physical effort to keep it on the horse without falling. Riding the horse is even more tiring, and it will soon collapse after a few days of training.
Although Wanze, Nangjiazhen and Kutoulon are princesses, their bodies are like iron. followed Cheng Yue for most of the day, and at night, Wan Ze and Nang Jiazhen still had the spare energy to serve Cheng Yue, and Ku Toulon still inspected the camp, which made Cheng Yue admire.
For three days in a row, running wildly every day, a thousand monks and soldiers gritted their teeth and held on, preferring to tie themselves to the point where they vomited in the dark rather than slow down and drag down the army. For them. It is also a practice.
On the morning of the fourth day, Cheng Yue finally caught up with the rear army of Zhang Hongfan and others. Xu Hanqing, Mrs. Xu and Chen Hangyan led the elite soldiers of the She nationality. Because he was not as good at riding horses as the cavalry, he fell behind the back of the Chinese army.
Cheng Yue summoned them with him, slowed down slightly, and followed the army to catch up.
Cheng Yue led the army out of Shanhaiguan and ran wildly for another day, only to see the carriage of the concubines, and then look forward, the banners of Zhang Hongfan and others were held high in the army and caught up!
Although the carriage was very comfortable, but because Zhang Hongfan was in a hurry, the road was not very smooth after leaving the customs, and the concubines suffered a lot in the carriage.
Cheng Yue stroked her hair and greeted Zhang Shufang and other concubines in the car. The most calm of the concubines was Agul, who was very good at riding, and this bump was nothing at all. Rou Niang is also surprisingly calm, and she can also lean on Cheng Yue's shoulder to be coquettish.
After a while, Zhang Hongfan, Lu Wenhuan, and Fan Wenhu came to the side of the carriage, and Zhang Hongfan reported: "Prince, the last general asked about the journey on the side of the road, and the instigation of Du and Oluchi was less than a day's journey ahead, and the prince was right, we really had time." ”
Cheng Yue smiled slightly and said, "You send a scout horse and ask him to tell Instigation Du and Oluchi that they can slow down a little bit in case there is a surprise attack." We're not in a hurry anymore, let's all rest, just in time for the day's journey ahead. ”
Fan Wenhu was stunned and said, "Lord Wang, why are you so far away?" Wouldn't it be more appropriate to join the former army? With the presence of the prince, the grain and grass can be as safe as Mount Tai. ”
Cheng Yue stared ahead and sneered: "Fishing needs bait, we follow too closely, the fish will never bite the hook, the fish will not bite the hook, how can I fish?" ”
Zhang Hongfan and Lu Wenhuan smiled heartily, and immediately ordered the army to slow down and move at a flat pace, so that the army of more than 100,000 could finally take a breath.
That night, Cheng Yue ordered to reward the three armies, regardless of the Yuan army and the Song army, everyone was smiling and happy that they could persevere.
Cheng Yue, Wan Ze, and Nang Jiazhen ate a roast leg of lamb in front of the bonfire, and Ku Toulon and Mrs. Xu ate another one next to Cheng Yue.
Mrs. Xu threw away the bones in her hand and said with satisfaction: "Lord Wang, it's interesting to fight like this, the concubine is so big, it's the first time that she has run thousands of miles, and she ran to the grassland to fight with people in one breath." ”
Cheng Yue smiled: "Is it enough to eat?" I still have it here. ”
Mrs. Xu said with a smile: "The concubine body is not Chen Hangyan, one person can gnaw off a leg, and the concubine body is full." ”
Cheng Yue nodded, looked up at the starry sky, and only felt comfortable physically and mentally, as a soldier, he was still the most comfortable on the battlefield.
The four monks of Fakong, Fahua, Faben, and Fazheng walked in front of Cheng Yue, and Cheng Yue smiled: "The four masters have worked hard these days, can the monks and soldiers still withstand it?" ”
Fahua smiled bitterly: "Now I know that the hard work of being a soldier is no less than the practice of the monastery. If it weren't for the hard training in the temple, half of his life would have been almost lost now, and he would never dare to rely on his martial arts again. ”
Cheng Yue laughed and said, "Running around for days, all the masters don't eat meat, is there any discomfort in your body?" ”
Faben said: "The poor monk was about to report this to the prince, and some of the monks and soldiers couldn't help but break the meat ring and drank a few sips of broth, saying that they were hungry and uncomfortable, and they couldn't stand it without eating meat. ”
Cheng Yue said: "You don't think you can accept it, do you?" ”
Faben said: "Yes, the poor monk is uneasy in his heart, and he has come to ask the prince for advice. ”
Cheng Yue said: "No matter what the method is, you must pay attention to going with the flow. Going against the sky is doomed to failure. It is naturally good for masters to be vegetarian, but if they can't meet the needs of the body, it is not beautiful to hurt themselves. The Buddha could cut the meat and feed the eagle, and vice versa, of course, he could also eat the eagle, and this is what I call the food chain in the book Nature. Everything in the world always has its own laws, and there is no need to force it too much. ”
The four monks were surprised when they heard this, they just wanted to come to seek Cheng Yue's help, so that they could give the monks and soldiers some more dry food, but Cheng Yue said such a truth, and almost persuaded them.
Cheng Yue saw their stunned looks, smiled, and said, "I just feel it, you masters don't have to take it seriously." He turned his head and called Buhumu, and ordered: "The monks and soldiers don't eat meat, they should eat more refined food, you go and confess." ”
Bu Mu said ashamedly: "It's that the lower officials didn't think it through, and there was a question from Lord Lao." He apologized to the four monks again.
As soon as Mu was about to leave, Cheng Yue stopped him again and said, "This way of chasing and catching up, can Lingtang still stand it?" ”
Bu Humu said gratefully: "The blessing of the carriage sent by the prince of Jia Ci, this journey is not hard at all, and I am talking to the three ladies. ”
Cheng Yue nodded and said, "That's good, you go and take care of Lingtang." ”
Bu Mu Shili said: "Yes, I will obey the decree of the prince." ”
As soon as Mu left, Pu Qiu came to the front from a distance.
Pu Qiu saluted and said: "Lord, the subordinate has something unclear and wants to ask the prince." ”
Cheng Yue said: "If you have something to say, say it." ”
Pu Qiu said: "Yes, the subordinate will say it directly." If the prince really goes to war with the host kings, will it affect Goryeo? Also, is Goryeo going to send troops? ”
Cheng Yue couldn't help but smile and said, "Then you forgive me." Your Goryeo army is good at defending the territory, but it is absolutely impossible to attack the outside world. If I go to war with the kings of the host country, at most I will recruit some auxiliaries from Goryeo, and you will only be able to guard the land against Nayan's plunder, and you will not need to interfere. ”
Pu Qiu's square face suddenly turned red, and he said hurriedly: "Lord, our Goryeo has fought with Mongolia for decades, and the land is four out of ten, and we can still keep Sheji, how can we be a weak country again?" Great Song ......"
As soon as he said two words, the dehuan on the side opened his eyes angrily and shouted: "Presumptuous! Is the King of Zhennan also something you can blame?! ”
Pu Qiu hurriedly bowed down and said: "The subordinates don't dare, the subordinates want to say that although the Great Song Dynasty is strong, don't look down on us Goryeo." ”
Tuohuan sneered and said, "You know what you want to say!" Let me tell you, although the Great Song Dynasty has lost half of the country, when the king of Zhennan takes Japan and then conquers all countries in the south, then you will see how big the territory will be? How can you compare with your little Goryeo? ”
Park Qiu was submissive and very sad. also lost a large area of land and married the princess of Dayuan, but the Yuan Dynasty's attitude towards the Southern Song Dynasty and Goryeo was completely different. Cheng Yue called for wind and rain in Dadu, ran rampant, obtained countless benefits, got along harmoniously between husband and wife, envied others, and married a second princess. Goryeo was going to be sad a lot, and a princess made them turn on their backs and complain bitterly.
When he was young, Wang Yu, the king of Goryeo, worked as a proton in Dadu for more than ten years, and was deeply influenced by Mongolia. After returning to China and succeeding to the throne, he took the initiative to shave his hair and change clothes. Seeing him like that, it didn't matter if he made a group of Goryeo subjects cry, but he wanted the ministers to follow him.
Wang Yu developed the habit of hunting in Dadu, and often took the queen Kudu Lujian lost and the ministers to hunt everywhere, and learned from the Mongols to set up an eagle workshop, which cost the people and money.
The most ridiculous thing is that Wang Yu felt that it was dishonorable to be in the company of the third-class Khitans and the northern Han people, and always wanted Goryeo to be classified as the second-class Semu people, but Kublai Khan categorically refused.
Cheng Yue, the king of Zhennan, did not, and in turn asked the Mongols to wear his clothes, eat what he ate, and cut his hairstyle. The comparison between the two is really embarrassing. (To be continued.) )
