Fang Yi pondered for a while, his eyes flickering as if there was thunder hidden in them.

"How many soldiers are left in the Imperial Guard?"

"Last night, the imperial guards came out in full force, and all the generals were dispatched to the four borders of the capital to pay taxes..."

"I am the only general left to lead a few soldiers to guard the camp and wait for orders!"

After Bian Yuqing finished speaking, his face could not hide a trace of sadness and helplessness.

Fang Yi observed the words and expressions and knew what was going on.

This Bian Yuqing must have been ostracized and is therefore stranded here.

Otherwise, this camp would have been deserted long ago.

Undoubtedly, this was an elaborate plan targeting him!

Why are there so many bandit incidents in the heart of Kyoto?

Why did you choose last night to order all the imperial guards to leave the camp?

Those who stayed behind...

It is not difficult to infer from Bian Yuqing's situation that there are probably no more elite soldiers in the imperial guards camp!

Are those shrewd people trying to cut off the source of the problem?

In order to overthrow me, you are even willing to disregard the country and its people?

"Captain Bian, quickly gather the remaining troops of the Imperial Guard, young and old, and leave no one behind!"

Fang Yi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

Things have come to this point, even if only the old, weak, sick and disabled are left, we have no choice but to use them for the time being.

Bian Yuqing took the order and left. Soon, many of the remaining imperial guards gathered on the parade ground.

Fang Yi looked around, his expression gradually becoming gloomy.

This improvised imperial guard consists of no more than a thousand men!

In the past, the imperial guards were very powerful, but the current group gave people a lifeless feeling!

There were more than a thousand people scattered around, as scattered as idlers in the market.

There is no way to stand, and no way to sit.

Among them, nearly three hundred are over 40 years old, which is considered old among the imperial guards.

The remaining 700 men were either immature and had just joined the army, or they were small and weak and could not withstand a single blow.

If they were not wearing armor, who would have guessed that they were the once mighty imperial guards?

Even the armor looked dull and lifeless, obviously something discarded by others.

Fang Yi felt depressed, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Behind everything, the figures of Shangguan Ba ​​and Concubine Chen vaguely emerge.

Those old foxes really left him a mess!

To practice military formations and discuss strategies, can we only rely on this motley crowd?

"My Lord, except for the soldiers guarding the camp and the cooks, all other personnel have arrived!"

Bian Yuqing walked forward and reported with an expressionless face.

Fang Yi nodded slightly and walked forward with firm steps.

His eyes swept over the imperial guards in front of him one by one, his expression solemn.

"I will compete with the Kingdom of Japan in military exercises and strategies, and I have specially selected 500 warriors from the Imperial Army!"

"Conduct emergency training and have a showdown tomorrow!"

As soon as Fang Yi finished speaking, Bian Yuqing's brows furrowed.

Everyone had already heard about the Japanese delegation coming to Beijing.

The Japanese prince is leading the delegation personally, and his security forces must be the elite of Japan.

How can we fight against such a ragtag army?

Bian Yuqing had heard of the champion marquis in front of him and his great achievements.

It is probably not a good sign for such a heavy stake to fall on his shoulders.

Sighing inwardly, Bian Yuqing looked at Fang Yi deeply and remained silent.

"Tomorrow's military exercise strategy is really a gamble!"

"If we win, Japan will pay tribute to our dynasty!"

"If you lose, we will cede ten cities to Japan!"

"This battle concerns the fate of the country and cannot afford to fail..."

Fang Yi spoke in a deep voice and scanned the audience with sharp eyes.

"Those who wish to participate in this battle, step out!"

However, his words faded away, and the imperial guards on the parade ground looked at each other, and no one took a step forward.

A military exercise strategy actually involves national security?

They are just marginal figures in the imperial guards. Following Marquis Guanjun to the martial arts arena is not seeking death?

If then, Marquis Guanjun, as the commander-in-chief, escapes first, what should we do?

Whether advancing or retreating, both are abysses. Who can shoulder this heavy burden?

Standing in the front of the crowd, Bian Yuqing felt undercurrents in his heart. The weight of this drill strategy was extremely important!

Not to mention, Marquis Guanjun is obviously not a talent for commanding troops!

How can we compete with Japan?

If I participate in this game, I will just add more jokes and become a topic of conversation for people after dinner!

"No one dared to respond? Humph, I finally understand!"

Fang Yi's voice broke the silence again.

"No wonder you thought that going out of the city to quell the bandits was just a small matter for the imperial army, and you had no chance to intervene!"

"He is a useless person in the group!"

Fang Yi grinned, his face full of sarcasm!

Upon hearing this, all the imperial guards in the parade ground raised their heads and looked at Fang Yi with eyes full of displeasure and anger!

Bian Yuqing raised his sword-like eyebrows, and a flash of anger appeared in his eyes.

The imperial guards are indeed weak, but on what basis does Marquis Guanjun judge us?

Now there is such contempt!

If Fang Yigui had not been a marquis, Bian Yuqing would have expelled him from the camp long ago.

The anger of the people could not escape Fang Yi's eyes.

His eyes rolled, his sneer became even stronger, and his sarcastic remarks continued.

"You dare not even try to practice your strategy. If you really go to the battlefield, you will probably all become deserters!"

"Leading you, let alone defeating the bandits, even for a normal march, I'm afraid your presence will be the biggest obstacle!"

"Forget it, forget it. I am not afraid of losing face. I will report to His Majesty immediately. It is better to admit defeat as soon as possible in the drill."

After saying this, Fang Yi turned around and left without hesitation.

"My Lord, please stay!"

Bian Yuqing called out quickly and stood in front of Fang Yi.

Although the tone is low, it is still stubborn.

"All of us in the Imperial Army are loyal warriors who have sworn to serve until death!"

“Maybe not all of them are brave and good at fighting, but all of them are ready to die!”

"How can you look down on us like this, Lord?"

"Bian Yuqing, I don't accept it!"

After he finished speaking, he bowed to Fang Yi, his body tense and his eyes full of unyielding spirit.

Over the years, he had been marginalized in the imperial guards, which had made him feel depressed and dissatisfied.

I didn't expect that today, I would be looked down upon by the Champion Marquis again. How could I accept this?

"My Lord, we all refuse to accept this!"

Behind him, thousands of imperial guards shouted in unison, glaring at Fang Yi.

Even a clay Buddha still has some earthy qualities. He cannot endure such humiliation in silence even if the other party is a marquis.

"Not convinced?"

"Is there something wrong with what I said?"

Fang Yi turned around and sneered even more.

"Practicing strategy is the lifeblood of the Great Zhou, and is more important than Mount Tai!"

"Besides, this is just a competition. There is no need to risk your life on the training ground!"

"I don't even dare to face this little test..."

He leaned forward slightly, his eyes sharp, pointing directly at Bian Yuqing.

"Tell me, what are you if not cowards?"

After hearing this, Bian Yuqing clenched his fists, veins on his forehead throbbing, like a latent dragon ready to rise.

Although he was extremely dissatisfied in his heart, he was unable to refute Fang Yi's words because they were so convincing and impenetrable!

Taking a deep breath, he remained proud and looked straight at Fang Yi with his head held high, a fire of unyielding spirit flickering in his eyes.

"It seems that my trip has been a waste of time!"

Fang Yi waved his hand, turned around and left, leaving behind a cold remark.

"Even the disciples of the Beggars' Sect in the capital may have stronger wills and tougher bones!"

"My Lord, please understand. We are definitely not the kind of people who are afraid of death!"

Bian Yuqing was behind, and although his tone was low, every word he spoke was powerful and revealed his unquestionable tenacity.

"A gentleman can be killed but not insulted!"

After he finished speaking, the imperial guards behind him puffed out their chests and held their heads high, with a look of determination and unyielding spirit on their faces.
