Your Highness, has he stopped today?

Lu Zheyu had already taken a step, but he heard someone inside calling him to stop him.The soldiers standing outside the military tent saluted him, and Lu Zheyu ordered: "Go and call Vice General Feng."

"Yes."

Lu Zheyu returned to the tent and asked, "Have you considered it so soon?"

Yishi Leyin blushed slightly, and said in a muffled voice, "I don't want to go back to Beidi."

Lu Zheyu stood in front of him and deliberately asked, "Oh? Then where do you want to go?"

Yishi Leyin looked up at him, hesitatingly said: "I... can I stay?"

Lu Zheyu chuckled: "Of course you can. But you can only start as a centurion."

Yishi Leyin hurriedly agreed: "I can do it!"

Feng Yang originally thought that Lu Zheyu asked him to come to discuss some important matters, so he rushed into the big tent, glanced at the young captive, and then looked at Lu Zheyu: "Young master, is there anything you want?"

Lu Zheyu said, "Go and untie him."

"Ah?" Feng Yang was taken aback.

"In the future, Yishi Leyin will be a member of the Dingyuan Army." Lu Zheyu said lightly.

"Hey." Feng Yang was slightly startled, walked up to Yishi Leyin, walked around him, and looked at him, "You little baby, you won't listen to my words, and if my young master persuades you, you will Are you willing to surrender?"

Yishi Leyin looked at him angrily, snorted and deliberately turned his head to the other side.

That day he led his troops to fight the Dingyuan army. He originally advocated flanking and outflanking, but the Beidi commander did not adopt his strategy. The frontal battle and the previous enemy secretly attacked the camp and burned their food and grass, which eventually led to defeat, and he himself was seriously injured. Then passed out.When he woke up again, what he didn't expect was that the people from Dingyuan Army picked him up and healed his wounds.

These days, it was the person in front of him who came to persuade him to surrender over and over again. He already had the will to die and vowed not to surrender. Unexpectedly, in the end, he was still persuaded by the commander of the Dingyuan Army.

Feng Yang took out the dagger, cut off the rope tied to his wrist, and tapped his shoulder with the hilt of the knife, playing with it: "If that's the case, then do it well, we don't keep idlers in the army."

Yishi Leyin looked at his dagger, took a step back to avoid it, and said angrily, "You...do you want to fight!"

Feng Yang looked at him, hissed softly, and whispered in Lu Zheyu's ear: "My lord, are you sure you want to let this little baby stay? This difficult temper is comparable to that little Highness."

Lu Zheyu said: "Take him to familiarize himself with military affairs, first go around the camp."

Feng Yang was very reluctant: "Why me?"

Lu Zheyu: "Because he will be your subordinate from now on."

Hearing this, Yi Shi Leyin and Feng Yang said at the same time: "No!"

Yishi Leyin said: "I will be your subordinate!"

Lu Zheyu responded calmly: "He is the only direct subordinate of mine. If you want to be my subordinate, you will try to replace him in the future."

Feng Yang:?

Lu Zheyu asked Feng Yang: "What doubts do you have?"

"Young master, dare you let me raise someone who will replace me in the future?" Feng Yang was very puzzled.

Lu Zheyu nodded slightly: "If you don't want to, then I will teach him personally. Then you can go back to Yecheng and work with my father."

Feng Yang: ...

Feng Yang said sincerely: "...Young Master, I am willing to let him be my subordinate. Don't worry, I will definitely teach him well."

Lu Zheyu nodded. Seeing that Yishi Leyin still had objections, Lu Zheyu walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder: "Military orders are like mountains, I think you understand the truth."

Yi Shi Leyin curled his lips, but still reluctantly said: "I see."

Lu Zheyu left the big tent.

Feng Yang raised his eyes and looked at him: "Okay. Let's go, little boy, and let you get familiar with military affairs."

Yishi Leyin was still very unconvinced: "You are the little baby, all of your family are!"

Feng Yang happily walked towards the door: "I'm the only one in my family."

Yishi Leyin followed, his temper disappeared in an instant: "Really? I'm the only one in my family. Where's your family?"

"I am Lord Hou, the son's father, who picked me up from the battlefield."

"Wow, I was also picked up. Hey, why did you call him son, shouldn't you call him general?"

"Master Hou is my master, Young Master is my little master."

"Oh, so that's the case... Then can you tell me about other things about your young master and Dingyuan Army?"

As the two walked in the barracks, their voices became farther and farther away.The moonlight on the border was very bright, and the moonlight poured all over the barracks.The plateau area appears to be very close to the starry sky, as if the stars can be reached with one hand.

after january.Yecheng Imperial Palace.

When Han Qing arrived at Bixiao Palace, it was already late.Emperor Chongde took off his crown, dressed in a middle coat and an outer robe, and sat in the warm pavilion to read official documents.

"Han Aiqing." Emperor Chongde put the official documents aside and said, "At noon today, while sleeping, I had a dream."

Han Qinggong asked in a low voice, "May I ask what your Majesty dreamed about?"

"I dreamed that when Emperor Wu was in power, the Marquis of Xiping was stationed at the border, supporting himself with troops." Emperor Chongde said softly.

Emperor Wu reigned more than 60 years ago.And Naxi Pinghou, the cousin of Emperor Wu, was sent to garrison Yanxia Pass for more than ten years, recruiting troops and surrendering enemy troops everywhere, from the initial 13 troops to the later [-] troops.Later, I don't know why I should have thought that I shouldn't have, and led the troops to attack Yecheng on the grounds that the Qing emperor was on the side.

The 13 army should not be underestimated. In that battle, blood flowed into rivers in Yecheng, wailing was everywhere, and Chen Guo almost changed hands.Later, Lu Hongfeng, who was the General Zhengdong at that time, was also Lu Chi's grandfather, who led the army to King Qin, and captured Xipinghou, quelling the chaos of the war.Later, Lu Hongfeng was granted the title of Marquis of Dingyuan.

Han Qing pondered for a moment, then bowed and said, "Recently, there have been many state affairs, and His Majesty has been busy with official duties. It must be because he was too tired, so he couldn't sleep because of the many dreams." He raised his head and looked at Emperor Chongde with consulting eyes, "Do you want your Majesty?" Let the imperial doctor see and prescribe some soothing prescriptions? In addition, Yi Chen thinks that although His Majesty is young, he should take more care of his body, overwork will definitely hurt his health."

"But why did I have such a dream?" He paused, then said silently, "Could it be that Emperor Wu gave me an early warning?"

Having said all this, Han Qing also somewhat understood what Emperor Chongde was thinking in his heart, but he still had a puzzled look on his face, stepped forward, and said: "The old minister is dull, and has never understood what your majesty said, Please let Your Majesty clarify."

At this point, Emperor Chongde simply said bluntly: "The Marquis of Xiping had only 14 military power at the beginning, how did he become [-] in the end? If he hadn't bought people's hearts everywhere during his ten years in Yanxia Pass, how could he have so many soldiers?" People take refuge in him?"

Han Qing followed with a sigh, and said with a pity, "Prosperity is very easy to decline. Presumably, if it weren't for this military power, the Marquis of Xiping would not have such thoughts of treason. But fortunately, General Lu Hongfeng led his troops to serve the king, so Ye The city is in chaos."

Emperor Chongde said: "The Marquis of Dingyuan now has nearly one hundred thousand soldiers. It is even worse than that of the Marquis of Xiping."

Han Qing smiled: "After all, for decades, the country of Chen has been tied to the Dingyuanhou Mansion."

"Oh?" Emperor Chongde sneered, "Without him Marquis Dingyuan, my country will be in danger?"

Han Qing was taken aback, knelt down quickly, and kowtowed to plead guilty: "I made a mistake, Your Majesty forgives me."

Emperor Chongde looked at him and sighed softly: "I have never held you accountable, so what are you pleading guilty to? Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Han Qing stood up, thought for a moment, and asked, "I dare to ask Your Majesty, why did you suddenly mention the military power in the hands of Marquis Dingyuan today?"

Emperor Chongde's eyes darkened, and he said in a low voice: "To tell you the truth, I often dream of the chaos in Yecheng during Emperor Wu's time today. Emperor Wu was brave and resourceful all his life, but he was accidentally rebelled by the Marquis of Xiping. He is no smarter than Emperor Wudi and good at fighting, if there is another war in Ye City, I'm afraid..."

Emperor Chongde didn't continue talking, Han Qing saw this, and hurriedly persuaded: "Your Majesty, don't underestimate yourself. With your majesty's sage, the country of Chen is now at peace, how can your majesty compare to Emperor Wu?"

"But even when Emperor Wu was in power, rebellion would happen, let alone me?"

Having said this, Han Qing no longer pretended to be confused, and simply asked softly: "Your Majesty is starting to worry...someone will rebel?"

Emperor Chongde nodded, and no longer hid it: "The Marquis of Dingyuan holds one hundred thousand military power in his hand, and he has always been on good terms with Yan Taifu. Now Lu Zheyu is in Lizhou, thousands of miles away, north Lin Beidi, to put it bluntly, I am worried."

"This..." Han Qing hesitated for a moment, then said, "Speaking of that little general Lu, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Just say what you have to say."

Han Qing came slowly: "Your Majesty asked the Inspector of Lizhou to keep an eye on the Dingyuan Army. A few days ago, some news came back."

Emperor Chongde: "Oh? Let's hear it."

Han Qing continued: "I heard that after Beidi sued for peace, the Dingyuan army invaded Beidi's territory several times and engaged in small-scale battles, and because they had previously recruited a general from Beidi named Yishi Leyin, I heard that now Yishi Leyin's old troops have all surrendered to the Dingyuan Army, and those old troops have a total of 5000 people."

Emperor Chongde's expression froze: "Why are you telling me about such an important matter now?"

Han Qing hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "I deserve to die. I wanted to find out more about General Lu's motives and report them to His Majesty."

"You get up first." Emperor Chongde glanced at him, was silent for a moment, and then said, "In your opinion, what exactly is Lu Zheyu trying to do?"

Han Qing thought about it for a while, raised his head and said: "Maybe General Lu just wants to strengthen the Dingyuan army to guard the border of Lizhou... After all, General Lu is still young, I think, he should not do anything. An outrageous thing."

Emperor Chongde frowned slightly: "He dared to disobey my imperial decree earlier. Do you still remember how old he was when Marquis Xiping rebelled? What's more, Lu Zheyu is young, so what about Marquis Dingyuan?"

Han Qing thought for a while, and then said: "In your Majesty's opinion, how should you deal with General Lu?"

Emperor Chongde was silent for a long time and did not respond.

The candlestick on the table was still burning.

For some reason, it was clear that the doors and windows in the house were closed, but the candle flickered slightly and was almost extinguished.
