Xizi did not ask Di Xin where he was going, she would follow him without hesitation no matter where he went.
"yes."
Even though he was in an invisible direction behind Di Xin, Xizi still gave him a salute.
After taking off his casual robe and serving Di Xin to put on formal clothes, Xizi followed Di Xin out of the study, left the general's mansion, and then headed out of the city amidst the slight bumps of the carriage.
The carriage went to Yanque Pass and left towards the south gate in the inner direction of Dali. After walking along the official road for half an hour, it arrived at a military camp in Yanque Pass.
This is one of the military camps specially built to train Emperor Xin's newly formed cavalry. It can accommodate up to 10,000 cavalry for training.
Di Xin's goal is to raise another 20,000 cavalry. Although he now has the right to recruit 20,000 more soldiers, he does not intend to change his plan.
Although the Turks can have all their cavalry, they also need other branches of the military to perform other combat tasks, and although they have many war horses, it is impossible to really equip them with all the soldiers.
There are 30,000 cavalry in an army of 80,000 people. This ratio is on the high side even for the Turkic army.
The Flying Leopard Army, the Flying Wolf Army, and the Flying Tiger Army are the names of the three cavalry units at the border.
Among them, the Flying Leopard Army has 9,000 people, which are the cavalry that originally existed in Yanque Pass. The Flying Wolf Army has not yet begun to be formed, and the last Flying Tiger Army is stationed in the military camp here. Currently, there are only 3,000 people.
Xizi had followed Di Xin to the military camp here several times, so he was familiar with this place. Therefore, after watching the carriage arrive at the Feihu Army military camp, he couldn't help but feel a little doubt in his heart.
The Flying Tiger Army is currently under-established, and the only three thousand cavalry have not been trained for a long time, and they have not even formed combat capabilities. How can they help those envoys to the Turks?
Now was not the time to ask questions, and it didn't take long for the results to come out, so Xizi temporarily buried his doubts in his heart.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the military camp.
Laifu showed his token and asked the guard at the door to go in first and report. Then he took the low stool from the back of the carriage and stood aside respectfully.
"Your Highness, the place has arrived."
Xizi opened the curtain, glanced left and right, stepped lightly on the low bench and got out of the carriage, turned around and stretched out his hand so that Di Xin could support his men in the carriage.
The soft touch of the woman's slender jade fingers might make someone else's heart beat faster, but Di Xin's expression did not change at all. He naturally put his hand on Xizi's outstretched hand, and also stepped off the short bench.
carriage.
"Young man Yu Shao, I would like to welcome His Royal Highness Prince Yu."
Following a sound coming from far and near, Yu Shao, who had been promoted from a palace guard to a general of the Flying Tiger Army, hurried over. After arriving at the entrance of the military camp, he slapped his legs and knelt on the ground.
Di Xin frowned slightly: "Yu Shao, as you are now a general, you don't need to use the etiquette of a bodyguard in the palace. There is no need to call yourself a villain."
"The little man Yu Shao will always be one of His Highness's bodyguards."
Yu Shao said loudly without hesitation.
Palace guards may sound nice, but in fact their status is similar to that of domestic servants. In order to ensure their loyalty, most of the guards signed a deed of prostitution before entering the palace.
In such a dynasty, people who signed a contract of sale basically did not have much human rights. Even if the master killed them at will, they would only be fined some money.
After Emperor Xin came, he did not directly cancel all the deeds of betrayal in the palace, but the people who were recruited into the palace later did not sign the deeds of betrayal, but contracts with a time limit.
As for the guards who had signed the contract of betrayal, those who could guarantee their loyalty had been placed everywhere by Di Xin under various names since he came to the border.
Every time a person is placed, the person's deed of betrayal will be revoked in front of him and he will be free. The external reason is that how can a court official have a deed of betrayal in the hands of others? This is a great disrespect to the court, Your Highness Prince Yu
How dare you take such a huge risk.
Although this would lose the means to control him, Di Xin would not use such inhumane methods to control a person.
The most important point of his humanity is that everyone is equal.
In fact, after gaining freedom, they also gained official status and greatly improved their status. How could these guards betray His Highness Desire, who had such great kindness to them?
Rather, after they broke away from their status as bodyguards, their loyalty to Emperor Xin actually increased.
The Yu Shao in front of me is a typical example.
As for Yu Shao's ability to become a general of the Flying Tiger Army, his cultivation level in the mid-term acquired was secondary - in fact, his cultivation level was a bit low. The main reason was that Yu Shao was a cavalryman before he entered Prince Yu's Mansion as a guard.
After entering the military camp, Di Xin walked out of the training ground in a familiar manner. At the same time, he asked Yu Shao who was following him: "How is the cavalry training going?"
"Your Highness is in the hands of a villain..."
Yu Shao saw His Royal Highness Prince Yu turning to look at him. Although his eyes were very calm, his heart trembled. He quickly changed his words and said: "The cavalry training method that His Highness entrusted to the humble people is really amazing. In just a few days, they will have
Got some looks.”
After habitually photographing a horse, he continued: "It's just that the training time is too short after all. They are just show-offs now. They can be taken out to scare people. But in a real fight, they probably won't be able to last even one round."
."
Glancing at Di Xin cautiously, Yu Shao gritted his teeth secretly, cupped his hands and said, "Young... I have low abilities in this humble position, so please punish me by Your Highness."
While they were talking, several people had already arrived at the training ground. Each soldier was holding a spear and making thrusting movements under the slogan of the instructor.
Di Xin looked at the enthusiastic training of the soldiers and shook his head slightly: "It's good to be able to train to this level. You did a good job."
Yu Shao, whose heart skipped a beat when he saw Di Xin shaking his head, heard an answer completely opposite to what he had imagined.
After being stunned for a moment, he quickly raised his hands and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness."
Then I heard Di Xin ask: "You just said that if these cavalry are not fighting, they can still be used to scare people, right?"
"That's right."
Yu Shao scratched his head and said in confusion: "It's just that when the two armies meet, it's life and death. How can they be easily frightened? It's useless no matter how strong they pretend to be!"
"It's enough to scare people."
Emperor Xin didn't wait for Yu Shao to understand, and directly ordered: "Yu Shao, gather all the soldiers and go to the border defense line."
"I humble my duty and obey my orders."
Yu Shao subconsciously stood at attention, and then asked: "Your Highness, what is our mission?"
A smile appeared on Di Xin's lips, and a word that was relatively unfamiliar to the people of the Ancient Moon Realm rang in everyone's ears: "Military exercise."
"What is a military exercise?"
Yu Shao wanted to ask again, but when he saw Di Xin shaking his head slightly, he stopped asking any more questions, turned around and walked away in a stride.
Not long after, the sound of assembly drums sounded throughout the military camp.
