Although the three guards of the Jin Wangfu are the palace army, they are not Yu Yang who eats white rice. Moreover, Shanxi is on the border, and it still has to maintain a certain combat effectiveness, so there are two marching drills in spring and autumn every year. This year, the prince gave an order, in order to temper the tenacious will of his subordinates, he had to add a winter drill.

The officers were afraid that the king of Jin would take the opportunity to purge the dissidents, so they had to drive the soldiers and pack up on the road. So the 15,000-strong army, divided into three routes, marched on the frozen Jinzhong Plain. In order to avoid the passive slacking of his subordinates, the king of Jin also sent his palace cronies to supervise the army and report the itinerary of the troops every day.

However, Rao was so high-pressure, the troops' march was still not fast, it was less than 300 miles in five days, but there were already a lot of frostbite injuries after lying on the ice and lying in the snow, sleeping in the open...... Just when the soldiers shouted that the sky should not be used and the earth was not spiritual, the higher authorities finally issued an order to stop advancing and practice on the spot.

Although it was only to stop the advance, not to withdraw the troops, the soldiers were still amnesty, at least they could set up camp and go down to the village, and they didn't have to hold the ice and snow anymore, right? So the three-way army followed the instructions of the prince, and camped in various key roads and dangerous passes. The senior officers of the three armed services were called to the camp of the Chinese army to listen to the next training task.

In fact, the so-called high-ranking officials are nothing more than the commanders of the three guards and their deputies. After receiving the order, Yang Rong, the commander of the left guard, and Chen Bin, the commander of the right guard, and their respective deputies hurried to the middle guard. I don't know if it was intentional or not, the two met when they were about to arrive at the Chinese army camp......

"County horses." Commander Yang, who has the same name as Yang Rong, a member of the Cabinet University, dismounted with a smile and saluted Chen Bin.

Chen Bin hurriedly dismounted and helped him and said, "Uncle Shi is joking with me again, it should be me to salute you." ”

"Etiquette should not be wasted." Yang Rong shook his head with a smile.

"The county lord has passed away for many years, and it's hard for Uncle Shi to remember me as a county horse." Chen Bin said with a hint of bitterness in his smile.

The two sighed for a while, and Yang Rong proposed: "It's not far from the camp, let's go over." ”

"It's okay, my legs are numb from riding a horse." Chen Bin nodded, and the two of them handed over to the guards and walked in front on foot.

The subordinates knew that the two adults had something to say, and they were both interested in falling behind.

There was silence for a while, and both of them looked at the snow scene and were silent, until Chen Bin couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Shi has something to teach me?" ”

"Huh." Yang Rong smiled and said, "Jun Ma, what do you think is the situation of this military drill?"

"The little nephew is blunt, and he only feels unusual."

"What's the anomaly?" Yang Rong's eyes moved.

"One is the time, the old lady has just gone, and the prince is in great sorrow, so it is said that he has no time to take care of other things, but he personally ordered to launch such a large-scale exercise, and ordered Yonghe Wang to personally supervise the army in the mourning, and also reported to each army every day, which is obviously extremely concerned, which is a bit unreasonable." Chen Bin carefully said: "The second is that the march has its own formation, and the two wings have to protect the Chinese army, but our two guards are too protruding, and now they are in an inverted shape with the Chinese army. This is completely out of line with the art of war, it looks like a ......" he lowered his voice and said: "Soldiers besiege Wutai County"

"A good soldier surrounds Wutai County," Yang Rong smiled weirdly: "The county horse really saw it." ”

"I saw it, but I couldn't figure it out." Chen Bin smiled bitterly: "So I also asked Uncle Shi to teach me."

"I don't dare to ask for advice, I'll say what I think, and we'll go through it together." Yang Rong stroked his gray beard and said, "Since it is a soldier encirclement, you must know what is encircled by the road." said with a smile: "After all, we are not the descendants of the prince, and this point has to be clarified." ”

"Yes." Chen Bin nodded, and said thoughtfully: "That's right." So what exactly is it about?

"People." Yang Rong said lightly.

"Uncle Shi......" Chen Bin smiled bitterly: "It's all this time, you are still in the mood to joke." ”

"I'm not kidding." Yang Rong Zhengse said: "Our two-way army has already driven through Wutai County, and we haven't found any White Lotus bandits, horse thieves and rogues, etc., and now that the army has become a heaven and earth, there will be no thieves who dare to approach." After a pause, he said: "There is only one person in the group now, so I guess that the prince wants to arrest a person, not a force." ”

"What kind of person is worthy of the prince to be so excited?" Chen Bin was shocked.

"I don't know what to do." Yang Rong shook his head and said: "But I know that this person can't see the light for the first time, otherwise the prince will say who it is." The second is a big obstacle to the prince, and most of them are fatal......"

"Oh?" Chen Bin suddenly thought of a possibility, sweating profusely and said, "It won't be, it won't be...... Your Highness? ”

"I didn't say anything." Yang Rong shook his head and said, "I didn't hear what Junma said, oops, I'm old, and my ears are behind." ”

"Yes." Chen Bin nodded hurriedly and said, "What you said is that I didn't say anything." Having said that, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, after all, although the news of that person's escape from Black Camel Mountain was tightly sealed, there were still rumors of high-level people like him. Now His Royal Highness the King of Jin is so enthusiastic and has come to Wutai County to arrest people, so people can't help but connect these two things

The two fell into silence again, seeing that the Chinese army camp was getting closer and closer, Chen Bin's heart rose to his throat, and he smiled bitterly: "My good uncle, you are going to suffocate your little nephew after you finish your words." ”

"Hehe......" Yang Rong smiled and said, "Junma still doesn't understand what the old man means?" We have to think about our future. ”

"Will it be in the future......" Chen Bin's mouth was full of bitterness. One of the two is the father-in-law of Lao Qi, and the other is the concubine of the lord of the big county, both of whom are branded with the abolished king of Jin. With the character of King Jin, he must take the military power into the hands of his own people, and he hasn't moved them now, but he hasn't taken care of it yet, and when the time is right, he will definitely do it. That's why Yang Rong's words made him feel so depressed, and he sighed after a while: "I plan to ask the prince to resign during the New Year, hand over the military power in my hand, and go to build a garden in front of the county lord's tomb to talk about the rest ......of my life."

"Why is Gunma so negative?" Yang Rong raised his eyebrows and said: "The old man is over fifty years old, and he hasn't given up yet, are you going to give up before you are ready?" He said earnestly: "Our Chen and Yang families have reached the point of decline, and you, as the son of the Chen family, have to shoulder the responsibility."

"Why don't I want to cheer up?" Chen Bin lowered his head and looked at the subordinates behind him, and sighed: "But now Shanxi is the world of the third child, and our blessings and misfortunes are between his hands, how can we not let people eat meat?" ”

"Hehe......" Yang Rong laughed: "What I said before was all in vain." ”

"The previous words ......" Chen Bin was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Uncle Shi said that King Jin hasn't won yet?" ”

"Not bad." Yang Rong nodded heavily and said, "I'm wondering what will happen if that person jumps out of the encirclement?" ”

"That person will go north......" Chen Bin swallowed and foamed, "And then what?" ”

"Who's up to the north?" Yang Rong asked in a low voice.

"Yes...... Acting for the prince. Chen Bin suddenly said: "That person won't want to defect to the acting prince?" ”

"In addition to the acting king, there is also a messenger," Yang Rong said in a deep voice: "I think His Royal Highness the King of Jin, so desperate to catch him, I'm afraid it's not just because I'm afraid that he will escape, but in his hands, I'm afraid there is something enough to turn the tables."

"What's that?" Chen Bin asked with difficulty.

"How do I know the way?" Yang Rong shook his head and said: "However, although His Royal Highness the King of Jin is cautious, he is not invulnerable, such as the relationship with Guangling County, such as auspicious ......" Seeing that he arrived at the Zhaimen, he said in a low voice: "Don't guess, you just know these things, and when the discussion is over, we will discuss it in the long run." ”

"Okay," Chen Bin nodded heavily.

While talking, the two entered the camp, came to the Chinese army tent, and met with Zhu Jiyin, the king of Yonghe. Zhu Jiyin is in his twenties, eight feet tall, with an ape-backed bee waist, plus a decent Shu brocade robe, and a lion-swallowing belt, he is heroic and extraordinary. It's just that his face is very angry, so people don't dare to look him in the eyes.

His cold gaze slowly swept over the generals in the tent, and said in a deep voice: "You must have thought about Lu Dao, our more than 10,000 people, we are not in Taiyuan City during the national funeral, what are we doing here in the ice and snow?" ”

None of the generals dared to respond, but they all waited for him to make it clear.

"Actually, we are here to arrest people" Zhu Jiyin did not sell Guanzi, and uncovered the mystery and said: "Liu Zijin, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, was slightly tricked out of the nest of Guangling County by the prince, and now he is in this Wutai County" paused, and said word by word: "We came this time to arrest him, to remove a big harm for Shanxi for the emperor, and for the king of Jin to share worries"

The generals finally couldn't help but marvel, they never imagined that this trip was actually to arrest Liu Zijin

Yang Rong and Chen Bin quickly glanced at each other, and they both saw ridicule in each other's eyes...... In order to hide people's eyes, he actually moved Liu Zijin out and said that he could only deceive the fool, how could Liu Zijin leave the nest in Guangling County? His old birthday boy eats arsenic - is he tired of being alive?

"Before, I was afraid that the news would leak and scare away the thieves, so I hid it from you." Zhu Jiyin continued: "Now, I will read the will of the prince."

"Minister's Order" all the generals knelt down on one knee in unison

"King Jin's decree - all the generals under his command who can get Liu Zijin, regardless of life or death, will be promoted to the third level, and the reward will be 10,000 taels of silver, and the reward will be 50,000 taels of silver."

The generals of the "ministers receiving the order" all of them were in high spirits, and they were all unexpected, but this kind of unthinking was too tempting

The key is that Liu Zijin leaves the lair, even if he takes his subordinates with him, there will not be too many of them, and there is no danger at all in capturing him, it depends on who is lucky

Looking at the generals who were eager to try, Zhu Jiyin showed an unfathomable smile and said slowly: "Wait for you to move to the sand table and listen to my orders."

"Oh" The generals responded in unison, and their voices were much more energetic than before
