The first thousand three hundred and six chapters: the former commander
Xian Bisong was covered in her body and stood solemnly in the middle of the road. Behind him, a large number of senior generals were also silently lined up in neat rows. On both sides of the road, a few meters were standing with a spear-cared soldier standing. Everyone looked at the end of the road.
Xian Bisong is now in charge of Changning County. Since Changning County borders Taoyuan County of Daming, it is the front line. Xian Bisong is to control the army and dismount to control the people. Over the years, as the Ming Dynasty's power becomes stronger, the strength of Xian Bisong has been strengthened again and again to prevent the Ming army.
For Qi, if the Ming Dynasty had fought with Qi, this place would be the only front line where large-scale wars could be launched. As for the Hulao area, the mountains are high and dense forests are dense, and the terrain is steep. It is suitable for surprise troops, but it is not suitable for fighting a dignified war.
If the Ming Qi fights, the main battlefield will definitely be in Changning and Taoyuan areas. This is something that both sides understand.
Because of this reason, over the years, Xian Bisong's status has risen very quickly in Qi State. In terms of the actual power in his hands, he has almost become the second in the military, second only to the commander Guo Xiancheng. However, Guo Xiancheng only has a vague official hat in Chang'an.
The people who could make Xian Bisong wait on the roadside with sweat profusely under the sun for a long time, and there were probably not many people in the entire Qi State. Ordinary soldiers didn’t know who they were coming today, but looking at this movement, they were all worried. Could it be that His Majesty wants to come in person?
Otherwise, why did the general bring so many senior generals to wait here? Although these generals are under Xian Bisong's command now, they rarely have the chance to get together like this when they are stationed in various places.
"Here's here!" There was a slight commotion in the general group. Someone whispered in a low voice, and then became quiet again. In everyone's vision, a small team appeared at the end of the road.
There was no flag or any ceremonial guard. A cavalry team of dozens of people was escorting several carriages and was slowly driving towards this side.
A hint of excitement flashed across Xian Bisong's face, and pressed the handle of the knife around her waist with his hand, and stood a little straighter without realizing it. The general's casual little emotions could not be hidden from the generals who were familiar with him behind him, and his solemn emotions immediately became much more solemn than before.
As they got closer, dozens of cavalrymen escorting the carriage turned over and dismounted, leading the horses to separate the left and right sides of the road, but the carriage behind them was still continuing to move forward.
This is a luxury four-wheeled carriage produced from the Ming Dynasty. Except for steel components, the entire body is made of relatively rare golden nanmu. After searching through the entire Qi State, there is no third one, and one is used by the Emperor of Qi State.
The whole carriage was decorated with Meilun and beautiful, and it was extremely wealthy. The four horses pulling the carriage were all snow-white fur, and there was almost no miscellaneous hair on their bodies. The well-trained horse walked in front of the generals with light and elegant steps, and then stopped consciously.
Xian Bisong took a step forward without hesitation, knelt on one knee, kowtowed, and shouted: "I'll see the Grandmaster!"
Dozens of generals behind him fell to the ground, "I've seen the general!"
The generals were full of energy, and dozens of people visited together, which surprised the surrounding troops. The generals were the generals. General? Could it be that General Guo Xiancheng was here?
The carriage window pushed open to the side with a slam, revealing a slightly fat face full of smiles. He was the former Grand Marshal of the State of Qi and Prince Cao Yun.
"General Xian is really a mess. Cao is now just an idle prince. What kind of commander is there? If you create such a big battle, you are not afraid that the censor will report to you. Can't get up? In our Daqi, there is no precedent for the general to kneel down to worship the prince."
Xian Bisong stood up with a smile, and did not refute what Cao Yun said, but said, "The generals originally wanted to ride alone and quietly come to welcome the general. However, after these guys got the news, they all shamelessly wanted to come up. I had no choice but to not offend them, so I had to take them all."
Xian Bisong's words made all the generals behind him laugh, and the originally tense atmosphere disappeared immediately. He said this correctly, these people did come together, Prince Cao Yun, the former Grand Marshal of the Great Qi army and horse, commanded the Great Qi army for decades, and had a high prestige. It can be said that eight of the ten generals of the Great Qi had served under his command.
"A bad old man, what can I see?" Cao Yun smiled and said, "I came out this time because I was tired of staying in Chang'an. I wanted to come out and take a look, take a look, have some breath, and look for something new."
Xian Bisong smiled and nodded. He naturally knew that things were not that simple. It was not that easy for a person like Dashang to leave Beijing even if he went out.
Looking at the handsome man's surprisingly luxurious carriage, Xian Bisong felt no envy in his heart, but felt a little heartache. Why did it come to this?
The Grand Marshal has never been a person who pursues pleasure. He spent most of his life in the military camp, lying on ice and snow, sun and rain, and he couldn't bear such pain? But because of this, he had to retreat from the position of the Grand Marshal. After retreating, he had to be careful, for fear of accidentally breaking taboos. The Grand Marshal who originally regarded money as dirt has now been praised for loving money as life. The garden in Chang'an City is said to be more beautiful than the Imperial Garden. The funny thing is that the Grand Marshal, as a prince, only married a wife in his life, but after retreating, he took several concubines in one breath, drank and had fun every day, and sang and breeze every night. In less than two years, the reputation of a ridiculous prince was spread.
When Xian Bisong heard Cao Yun's words, he felt a little sad. The general had to spend most of his life fighting outside or guarding the other side, trapped in a cave like he is now, and even moving must be careful. He looked at Cao Yun. The luxurious garden in Chang'an City was probably the same as a cave in the eyes of the general.
The moment the generals visited, Xian Bisong saw the flash of light in the general's eyes. After all, the general is still inseparable from the army!
"General, come up and see my car." Cao Yun patted the car window and said with a smile.
However, Xian Bisong saw a few cool women inside through the car. She couldn't help but hesitate. Being able to share the car with the coach and talk to the general was naturally a supreme honor, but it would be a bit inconvenient to have an inner servant present.
As if he had guessed Xian Bisong's thoughts, Cao Yun laughed and said, "My wife expected that you were quite popular and didn't want to receive your gifts, so she moved to the back car. Here are just a few girls who serve me on weekdays. It's okay, come up and talk to me to relieve the fatigue."
"Thank you, Grandmaster." When Xian Bisong saw Cao Yun say this, she stopped refusing. She jumped into the carriage and pushed the carriage door and walked in. Grandmaster sent his wife away, but left the maids who served. I was afraid that some of these maids would be heard from some people. Grandmaster stayed there specially.
Outsiders know a lot about my relationship with the Grandmaster. If you deliberately keep a distance, it will make you more suspicious. It is better to be open and honest. After thinking through this section, Xian Bisong walked into the car box generously.
When I saw the carriage outside, I felt that it was extremely luxurious. When I entered, Xian Bisong even widened her eyes and opened her mouth wide. The layout here was beyond his imagination.
Not to mention those decorations, the cool air in the car box made him feel comfortable as if he had been drying under the sun for a long time.
"How is it? It's comfortable!" Cao Yun patted the mat with satisfaction and spread his long legs in the carriage comfortably. "This carriage was found by Guo Xiancheng in Hengduan Mountains for more than a hundred years, and then sent it to the Ming Dynasty. He asked the masters there to make it specially. There were only two cars in the world, and there were not even the emperors of the Ming Dynasty. This golden nanmu is hard to find! Look no? This bead was given by His Majesty. It looks inconspicuous during the day. At night, haha, the carriage is as bright as day. No, the blanket you sit down is said to be from overseas and worth tens of thousands of gold." Cao Yun talked to the fresh beans like offering treasures. Xiaosong, the carriage is added, even if you are a general, I guess it will be able to defeat most of your wealth.
"The Grand Marshal worked hard for Daqi all his life. Now he retired, and it is time to enjoy it." Xian Bisong smiled and said, "As for the battle for the country, just leave it to us juniors."
"It's well said, inheritance, if you can't get old, how can you younger generations take it!" Cao Yun said with a smile. "So this time I'm going to go around and take a look, especially in the Ming Dynasty. I'm going to see it. Yuejing City has changed a lot. I've been there seven or eight years ago, but that time I took the soldiers, but this time I took the beauty, hahaha!"
"Master, Xiao Song thinks you should consider this matter again." Xian Bisong said carefully: "Master is not an ordinary person. I am a little worried that the Ming Dynasty emperor has bad intentions. If you arrest you, it will be troublesome."
