"Elder-in-law" migraine

Chapter 43

Five days later, Duan Xiaoyao, the chief officer of the army and the youngest prince of the first emperor, led [-] iron cavalry to march against Khitan. Emperor Zhaoning came to Zhicheng Gate in person to practice for the army.

Ren Zhi was dressed in silver bright light armor, with the long sword bestowed by Duan Yixian hanging on his waist. He was riding on the horse and raised his head to look at Duan Yixian on the tower. The altar wine came up, and just about to pour it into the prepared cup, Duan Yixian reached out and took the wine altar, and said loudly to the army under the tower, "I stand here today to practice for you, and I will wait until you win the victory!" , I’m still here to welcome you back to the city.”

Ren Zhi suddenly got off his horse, knelt down on one knee, leaned on the long sword in his right hand, and raised his voice, "I will do my best, and I will never return!" All the cavalry behind him dismounted and shouted loudly, "Do your best! Do whatever you can, win nothing!"

Duan Yixian looked deeply at Ren Zhi, for a long time, raised the wine jar with one hand, poured it into his mouth, and swallowed gulply, Ren Zhi turned his head to take the wine jar handed over by the lieutenant behind him, raised his head, and poured the wine into his mouth.

Duan Yixian drank more than half of the jar of wine in one breath, Xiao Ping behind him couldn't help but whispered dissuasion in his ear, Duan Yixian raised the wine jar in his hand high, threw it on the ground, and a broken voice came out, Duan Yixian wiped off the drink that splashed on his face, and said loudly, "Bring the golden drum, and the army goes out!"

The drums were rumbling, and the horses neighed. He let him throw the wine jar in his hand to the ground, got on his horse, and said, "Let's go!"

Duan Yixian stood on the tall city tower, grasping the protruding stones on the city wall with his fingers, watching the silver figure melt into the army, walking farther and farther, couldn't help closing his eyes, and let out a few words. Unobservable sigh.

Ren Zhi followed Feng Ce and Feng Yan brothers, riding Wuzhi, at the forefront of the army.The two brothers Feng Ce and Feng Yan are similar in appearance, but have completely different personalities. The older brother Feng Ce is reticent, while the younger brother Feng Yan has a more active personality, which makes Ren Zhi's journey a lot more fun.

The two of them were regarded by Fu Sheng as confidants in the southern army, naturally they had superb martial arts skills and excellent character, so Fu Sheng was relieved that the two of them would accompany Ren Zhiyuan to Khitan.

The army moved forward all the way, marching at sunrise, setting up camp at sunset, Ren Zhi walked with the soldiers every day, and won the favor of many soldiers, but there were always some generals, because they were young and inexperienced. He sneered at his order, Ren Zhi just watched it, but he never had an attack.

Ten days later, the army arrived in Jizhou, only two days away from Yingzhou. Ren Zhi looked up at the sky and ordered, "The army is stationed outside the city to rest. Without my order, no one can leave the camp at will." , not to enter the city, and not to disturb the nearby people, those who violate the order will be dealt with by military law."

Feng Ce turned his horse's head to pass on the military order, and Feng Yan leaned in front of Ren Zhi, "My lord, are you really not going into the city? Don't you need to ask the prefect of Jizhou to supplement the food and grass supplies?"

Ren Zhi reached out his hand and took out the bag that the old lady gave him, took a look, and put it back in his arms, "There is still enough food, grass and supplies. The army has adapted to the daily march for the journey of more than ten days. If you enter the city suddenly, it will disturb the morale of the army. Now rest at the same place, and the sun will rise tomorrow, bypass Jizhou City and continue on your way."

Feng Yan nodded, "This subordinate understands." Then he dismounted from his horse with Ren Zhi, and patrolled the station as usual.

Seeing that the camp tents were all tied up, and the soldiers on duty were assigned to their posts, Ren Zhi nodded and took Feng Yan back to his main tent.

It is said that it is the main tent, but it is actually not much different from other soldiers' camps. He spread the map out, clicked on the location of Jizhou, and then clicked on Yingzhou, "If you march quickly for a day tomorrow, We will be able to reach Yingzhou City the next morning, but in order to break the connection between the Khitan people in the city and their tribes, we will split up into two groups when we arrive at this location tomorrow evening, and order Feng Ce to lead an army to go around here overnight. At the rear of Yingzhou City, after we rested in place, we set out from the front, and before noon the next day, we will definitely surround Yingzhou City."

Feng Yan nodded, "Yingzhou City is a small city after all, with limited supplies and limited grain storage. The Khitans are good at melee combat but not good at defending the city. When the time comes when we attack at the same time, the Khitans will surely be taken down quickly. "

Ren Zhi closed the map and sighed, "I'm just worried that if they run out of food and grass, the people in the city will suffer. The Khitan people are not my race, and they will never treat innocent people softly. Think about it, how can we achieve a sure hit and take Yingzhou City as soon as possible, if we siege the city, we can afford it, and the people in the city can't afford it."

Feng Yan bit his lip and became worried. The two of them were discussing when the tent door was suddenly opened. Feng Ce walked in aggressively, and Ren Zhi frowned, "What's wrong?"

"Lord Chang Shi led a few of his subordinates to leave the camp and enter the city, but the subordinates failed to stop them, so they can only come to plead guilty to the prince." Feng Ce clasped his fists and said.

Changshi Liangu is older than Renzhi, and he followed Duan Yixian to participate in the war against the Turks, and was very popular. This time, he went to Khitan and was listed in the long history, but he has always been dissatisfied with Renzhi's jurisdiction, and has never given Renzhi any favors. color, but never thought that this time he would be so bold as to violate the military order.

Ren Zhi sighed, and ordered, "Feng Ce, you stay in the army. If anyone else dares to violate the military order, take it down immediately. I will deal with it when I come back. Feng Yan, you and I will go and arrest Lian Gu and the others." bring back."

Feng Ce took the order, turned around and left the tent, Feng Yan also rushed out to prepare the horse, let him turn around and took the saber hanging at the side into his hand, and rushed out of the tent to Jizhou City together with Feng Yan.

Wu Zhi walked fast, Feng Yan's horse was also a good horse, the two galloped all the way, and finally stopped Lian Gu and the others at the gate of the city.

Seeing Ren Zhixian, Lian Gu was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and cupped his hands towards Ren Zhi, "It turns out that it is the prince. I met you at the gate of the city so coincidentally, do you want to go to the city with us to relax?"

Ren Zhi dismounted from his horse and stood in front of Lian Gu, "I want to know, what is the reason for the three of you to leave the camp and come here?"

Lian Gu laughed, "After driving for more than ten days in a row, it is rare to get close to a city. Naturally, I came here to relax and then have the strength to fight. The prince must be understandable, right?"

Ren Zhi snorted softly, "I can't understand. Before I was stationed, I had passed down an order. Without my order, no one is allowed to leave the camp without authorization, let alone enter the city. Did Lian Changshi hear it or not?" Understand?"

Lian Gu's face was a bit unkind, he looked back at the two subordinates behind him, feeling that he was a bit overwhelmed by being reprimanded by Ren Zhi, he bit his lip, and said, "Then this subordinate will apply to the prince to come to the city soon Is it done?"

Ren Zhi glanced at him, then looked back at Feng Yan behind him, "These three violated military orders during the march, which is equivalent to deserting soldiers, and they will be brought back to the camp for military punishment."

Feng Yan clasped his fists, "Design." He stepped forward, "Master Chang Shi, you should go back with us, so as not to lose face at the gate of the city."

Lian Gu blushed, and stretched out his hand to open Feng Yan's hand, "It's not up to you to mess with me."

Ren Zhi narrowed his eyes and glanced at Lian Gu, raised his wrist, pulled out his sword, and pointed the gleaming sword directly in front of Lian Gu, "Lian Changshi, don't worry about this king underestimating you, if you do it, the three of you People may not be the king's opponent. This sword was given by the emperor when the emperor's brother was on his own. You must have seen it. Now the emperor gave it to me. Now I move my wrist and stab it into your chest , you don’t have to tell anyone, do you know?”

Lian Gu clenched his lower lip, and said fiercely, "Okay, I'll go back with you, I'll take a look, you brat, how dare you do anything to me?"

Ren Zhi glanced at him, turned back on the horse, and threw a bundle of ropes off the horse's back, "Tie their wrists and tie them behind the horse."

Feng Yan glanced at Ren Yi in disbelief, and immediately understood, stepped forward and tied the wrists of the three men, tied them to the backs of the two horses respectively, and then got on the horses, Ren Yi flicked the whip, " Back to camp." He drove away without looking at him.

On the way back to the camp, Ren Zhi was not in a hurry, and the speed was not very fast, but even so, when they arrived at the camp, the three people tied behind the horses were already in a panic, so Ren Zhi got off the horse and went straight to the drum standing beside him. Then, when the drums sounded, the soldiers came out of the camp one after another. Ren Zhi patted his hands lightly, pointed to the three people paralyzed on the ground, and said loudly, "Chang Shi Liangu and his two subordinates Disobeying military orders, going out of the camp privately during the march, thinking that the battle is imminent, and seeing red is not good, each will be fined fifty military sticks, and the long history will be doubled. If there is any difference, the punishment will be the same."

The soldiers made a commotion, Ren Zhi suddenly clenched the sword in his hand, and coughed lightly, "I know that since I set off on the expedition, some of you have dissatisfied with my throne and the marching commander, and I am too lazy to argue with you. But the military order It is a military order, this long sword is a gift from the emperor, this king has the right to make decisions, next time you encounter someone who violates the military order, you will be directly cut by this sword."

When the commotion stopped, the soldiers shut up one after another, watching someone step forward and push the three of Lian Gu to the ground, and punished them immediately.Lian Gu cursed and screamed incessantly, and let him stand in front of him calmly.

After the fifty military battles, the three of them were paralyzed on the ground without any response. They let them squat down, grabbed Lian Gu's hair, met his gaze, and said softly, "Lian Gu, the fifty military battles are because you disobeyed the military order. , this king has no personal revenge at all, I know you think this king is young, but let me tell you, I dare to take the post of marching chief at this age, and I don't care about your opinions at all, but if you Opinion violates military orders and disrupts military discipline, then you will regret that you were too naive."
