Chapter 413 Don't let people say that the concubine is a vixen
Chapter 413: Lest people say that I am a coward...
At dusk.
Zhong Shidao finally led 50,000 Western troops under his command and stationed in Zhending Mansion. At the same time, there were dozens of generals above the commander-in-chief of the Western Army who arrived.
When the Western Army soldiers and horses entered Zhending territory, Zhong Shidao and other generals saw with their own eyes that the Eastern Army soldiers and horses from Wang Lin's direct line were strong and disciplined, and many people stopped their original contempt.
In the past, despite Wang Lin's successive battles and great victories, in the hearts of this group of arrogant warriors in the Western Army, the Fuhu Army had only been established for too short a time. Compared with the old and elite Western Army, they considered themselves to be just a miscellaneous army.
Become a climate.
Winning a battle is nothing more than luck.
However, the orderliness of the Eastern Army's camp was far different from what they imagined.
Zhong Shidao, these people are all veteran generals in the army, and they have a sharp eye. It is said that you can see the leopard in the pipe. You can judge the combat effectiveness of an army and horse based on military discipline and military formation alone.
At least it won't be bad.
As night fell, Zhongshi Dao led the generals of the Western Army, Yao Gu, Guo Shun, Yang Keshi, Cao Ping and their sons Zhong Hao and Zhong Xi.
Gan and dozens of other generals asked to see Wang Lin outside Prince Yan's palace.
In fact, the news that Zhong Shidao had brought people had already reached Wang Lin.
Since Seed Shidao led the 50,000 elite Western Army to leave Taiyuan and march toward Hebei, every move of the soldiers and horses has not escaped the surveillance of the Tiger God Guards.
After all, Zhongshidao did not delay the deadline given by Wang Lin, and arrived at Zhending before the end of this month to accept the review of Wang Lin, the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses.
For Wang Lin, he was secretly relieved. This meant that Zhong Shidao chose to obey and accept.
Of course, for the generally proud and domineering generals of the Western Army, there is still a long way to go before surrendering.
Palace, study.
Wang Lin is working hard at his desk. Tomorrow is the opening ceremony of Zhending Military Academy. He has to attend in person. In addition to drafting his speech, he also needs to release the military academy's motto simultaneously.
He had already decided to imitate the "Twenty-one Military Regulations" of the Citizen Military Academy in his previous life and formulate the true military academy's motto, which was summed up as Twenty-One.
"Article 1: Defend the homeland and the country. If the enemy can fight, I can fight too. If we fight, we will fight to the death without fear of sacrifice.
Article 2: Military discipline is like a mountain. Orders will be followed, prohibitions will be stopped, and those who violate disciplines will be executed.
Article 3: Love and sincerity. Classmates and comrades, we will live and die together, unite and love each other, and serve the country with loyalty..."
In fact, this is also the core content of his speech tomorrow.
Wang Lin put down his pen, and Zhu Lian watched carefully, seeming to understand.
Xiao Duolilai entered the room and saluted: "Your Majesty, there is news from the front, saying that Hedong Zhongshi Dao led the generals of the Western Army to come to the house to ask for an audience."
This noble queen of the former Liao Kingdom has now become the maid of Prince Yan.
She wore a simple light-colored sarong, and although her hair was tied up in a bun, there was no trace of gold or silver jewelry on her face, and no makeup was applied to her face.
But despite this, she still can't conceal her graceful figure and peerless youthfulness.
Wang Lin raised his head and looked at Xiao Duolilai, and saw that she was dressed plainly and was very careful in her movements. There was a bit of emotion in her eyes.
For a woman who was once extremely wealthy to return to her true nature, she probably went through a psychological process that is unbelievable to ordinary people and is not worthy of being judged by outsiders.
Wang Lin pondered for a while, waved his hand and said: "Tell Master Zhong that the King of Japan is busy with military affairs today, so I won't see them for now. Let them camp outside the city by themselves, and go to the military academy to participate in the celebration early tomorrow morning."
Xiao Duoli hummed, saluted again, turned around and walked away.
Her waist is slender, like the wind supporting willows when she moves, but her hips are faintly drawing an elegant arc.
Wang Lin glanced at it.
Zhu Lian observed the change in his expression, and suddenly laughed softly and said: "Ms. sir, after all, this was the Queen of Daliao in the past, and she has also pledged herself to my husband. You can't really use her as a maid, can you?"
?”
Wang Lin smiled calmly: "It's better to do something than to be idle. Otherwise, let them hide in the room all day long, miss their homeland every day, and think about revenge? It's not good."
Zhu Lian was about to speak but stopped.
Wang Lin knew that she was soft-hearted and had some sympathy for the so-called "sadness of a rabbit when a fox dies". He also knew that she had a good relationship with these Khitan women in private, so he held her in his arms and said softly: "Lian'er, everything is too much.
She was once the Queen of Daliao, and there is not much I can give her."
Just when Zhu Lian was about to say something, he noticed that Wang Lin's hands were at work. His eyes immediately turned watery, and a thin layer of blush appeared on his face. He said quietly: "Your Majesty..."
Zhu Lian immediately remembered something, suddenly struggled, and gasped: "Your Majesty, I know that I am doting on you, but please don't always dote on me, lest people say that I am a coquettish woman..."
Wang Lin was startled: "Where do you start talking about this?"
Zhu Lian sighed: "In the past few days, the prince has been waiting for me. Not to mention others, even sister Hongyu and Chongde have not been able to see the prince. It has been a long time, and I am afraid that it will cause some gossip."
Wang Lin frowned and said in a deep voice: "Hongyu and Chongde can see me at any time. They are not jealous people. Lian'er, don't worry.
As for others... When you mentioned this, I forgot to give you a few words of advice.
Although Zhending’s palace is not as good as the capital, it is still your home and mine after all. You must take care of the affairs of the back house, and don’t keep any of those nagging people!”
There was a touch of tenderness in Zhu Lian's beautiful eyes: "I understand."
Wang Lin added: "Chongde has a weak temperament. If Hongyu wants to lead the army, the government can only rely on you."
Zhu Lian snuggled into Wang Lin's arms, nodded in agreement, and then grabbed Wang Lin's downward hand and said angrily: "Your Majesty, just spare me... By the way, why don't you go see that kind of teacher?"
What? This man has always been the leader of the Western Army. If the prince treats him so indifferently, I am afraid that the generals of the Western Army will feel resentful."
Wang Lin smiled coldly: "When it's time to meet, I will order the generals in the commander's mansion. They are the generals under my command. If they all feel resentful because of this, then..."
Wang Lin swallowed the "That's the way to die" that rushed to his lips, and a look of deepness appeared on his face.
In his view, seeing or not seeing should not be a problem.
Even if he was courteous to the corporal and treated Zhong Shidao and other Western warriors like him, they would not be convinced. Instead, they would have the illusion that he, the King of Yan, was still afraid of the Western Army.
It will be harder to conquer in the future.
Wang Lin wanted to see who wouldn't be quick-sighted enough to hit the muzzle of his gun.
…
The main entrance of Prince Yan's Mansion.
Han Ting, who has been serving as the chief historian of the palace, hurriedly walked out, first looked at Zhong Shidao up and down, and then looked around at the generals of the Western Army, clasping their fists and saying: "Ms. Zhong, generals, the prince is busy with military affairs today and really can't spare time to talk to you.
See you, Your Majesty said, please make your own arrangements, and see you again tomorrow morning when you attend the opening ceremony of the Zhending Military Academy."
As soon as Han Ting finished speaking, the generals of the Western Army who had been resentful for waiting in front of the mansion for more than half an hour secretly frowned. Others didn't say anything. Zhong Hao, who was behind Zhong Shidao, couldn't bear it anymore.
He stopped and said coldly: "What a grand occasion!"
Zhong Shidao turned around and gave Zhong Hao a cold look.
Zhong Shidao turned back to Han Ting, clasped his fists, and said calmly: "That's fine. Since the prince is busy with military affairs, I will come back to pay him a visit some other time. Farewell!"
After saying that, Zhong Shidao led the generals of the Western Army and turned around and left.
Returning to the military camp outside the city, I heard that the eldest son Zhong Hao was mumbling behind his back, venting his dissatisfaction with Wang Lin, and there were many generals behind him who echoed his words.
Zhong Shidao suddenly stopped and shouted angrily: "If you dare to speak ill of King Yan again, you will be engaged in military law!"
Zhong Hao paused for a moment and couldn't help but said: "Commander Father, this King Yan is really too much! I came all the way to Zhending, Commander Father and I came to visit him. He is so arrogant, rude and closed-minded.
Missing the door is really hard to swallow!"
Guo Shun also said: "My lord, the last general also thinks that King Yan is arrogant and rude, and he has gone too far to humiliate our generals in the Western Army!"
Zhong Shidao was silent for a few seconds and said calmly: "So what if you see him, what if he doesn't see you? What can you do if he doesn't see us?"
Zhong Hao sneered: "Father, my family has been loyal to the country and guarded the border for hundreds of years. It is unbearable for him to humiliate my family like this!"
Zhong Wei clenched his fists tightly and bowed and said: "Uncle, my Zhong family has been loyal and loyal for generations and has served as a general for many generations. Wang Lin is just a disciple who was lucky enough to join the army. He relied on making some small contributions to the court and became domineering for a while, usurping power and causing harm to the country and the people."
I think that my grandfather was a prince of the dynasty and guarded the border for the country for decades, but in the end he died tragically at the hands of this man. When I think about this murder of my ancestor, my nephew and grandson are all in flames. I wish I could die with him and avenge my grandfather.
avenge!"
He knelt down and cried.
Zhong Hao and other Zhong family members also cried and wiped away their tears.
Zhong Shidao's mouth trembled slightly and he slowly closed his eyes.
Zhe Keqiu, Yao Gu and other generals stood behind the Zhong family's children, looking at each other in confusion, unable to agree or remain indifferent, which was very embarrassing.
After a long time, Zhong Shidao said slowly: "Don't make noises and cause trouble here. King Yan and the Zhong family have a personal grudge. It is a state matter for us to lead the army to settle the matter. How can we abolish the official position for selfish reasons?"
Master Zhong held his head high and walked away, returning to his own tent.
The disciples of the Zhong family wiped away their tears and left in anger.
Zhe Keqiu smiled bitterly, shrugged and said, "Everyone, please leave as well."
After all the generals returned to their tents, Yao Gu secretly pulled at Zhe Keqiu, and the two of them walked to Zhe Keqiu's tent.
Yao Gu said worriedly: "The Zhong family won't take risks, right? I and others are in Hebei at the moment. Hundreds of thousands of troops are really stationed there. If there is any slight disturbance, it will affect us. Let alone a rich future, even our lives cannot be saved."
.”
Zhe Keqiu shook his head: "It shouldn't happen. If Mr. Zhong wants to raise an army, he will not lead his army to Hebei. As for the children of the Zhong family, if there is no fairness and justice from Mr. Zhong, they won't be able to cause trouble even if they want to."
Yao Gu sighed and said: "The King of Yan is also a powerful official. It is said that Master Zhong led me to pay a visit to him. He should be given some face, even if he pretends to be a coward to block the eyes of outsiders, but in the end he was rejected."
