On the ninth day of the first lunar month of the first year of Jingping, in Changjin County, Longwei Prefecture.
In order to burn firewood, a large number of houses in the county were demolished, leaving a large area of white land in Nancheng, which was used as a place for military exercises.
Although it is said to be a place for martial arts, it is rarely used.
After all, now that the military is demoralized, who has the energy to organize military exercises? If we organize people together, we may cause another trouble.
But today, many soldiers gathered here in Nancheng, and the commander Ding Hongyi came to the county with several commanders.
Thousands of people stood below, and it was impossible to tell how long the military formation was. It just had a rough formation.
The crowd was noisy and the scene was full of excitement. Ding Hong was asking his subordinates to suppress military discipline.
"Everyone is quiet..."
"Everyone has spoken..."
"Sir, what are you calling everyone here for today?"
"That's right...it's a cold day, wouldn't it be better to stay indoors?"
Hearing this, Qianhu, who came to suppress him, couldn't help but said loudly: "You idiots, I have summoned you here today because there is indeed a big event!"
"What's the big deal?"
"Big deal about everyone returning to their hometown!"
Upon hearing this, dozens of people nearby fell silent and became extremely interested in Qianhu's words.
"Sir...how can I go back to my hometown?" someone asked.
"You must have heard about it too, so you all asked me to contact Prince Yong's Mansion to express our reasons for submitting to the Prince's Mansion!"
"Prince Yong's Mansion now occupies Longyou, and there is too much food to eat. If you submit to the Prince's Mansion, you will not only be able to go home, but you will not be hungry in the future!"
The soldiers knew more or less about this news. At this moment, they were excited and excited, but at the same time, new doubts arose in their hearts.
So someone asked: "But sir, if we want to submit to the palace, what does it have to do with calling us here now?"
"The palace doesn't support idle people, so their food is given to us for free?"
"What are they going to do?"
"Someone from Prince Yong's Mansion came here specifically to see if our Dusi people are worthy of use, so I summoned you!"
This time the doubts were cleared up, but some people were worried: "Sir... How can people like what we are doing now?"
"Yeah...if people don't like it, why should we bother with it?"
Everyone immediately started talking. They knew themselves very clearly, so they felt hopeless again.
Seeing that everyone was noisy again, Qianhu said: "I said... I haven't finished speaking yet!"
"Sir, tell me!"
"Prince Yong is kind and aware that our armaments may be lax, so he specially sent people to train you. You don't have to worry too much!"
"When the Yong Army's men arrive, all you need to do is follow the training with peace of mind. The food will be supplied by the palace!"
Upon hearing this, everyone felt a lot more relieved. At least there was a back-up result, and they no longer had to worry about gains and losses.
"Alright... when the drums are beating later, you all must stand still and show off the momentum of my Longyou man. Don't let others look down upon you!"
"Do you understand everything?"
"I understand!"
This scene was staged one after another throughout the military formation.
After the officers carefully explained the situation to their subordinates, the scene gradually became quiet and the formation of the station became much more straightened.
The Longyou Dusi now has nearly 10,000 soldiers, but the number of people present at the moment is only four to five thousand, and the others are distributed on the city wall to guard.
When the scene gradually became quiet, the sound of war drums began to sound.
Everyone below saw a person appearing next to Ding Hong, and everyone knew that this was the arrival of the envoy from Prince Yong's Mansion.
Looking at Ding Hong, Gao Yongfa cupped his fists and said, "Master Ding, long time no see!"
Although two years is not a long time, they have experienced too many things in the meantime. The two of them have changed so much that when they first saw each other, they did not recognize who the other was.
"Lao Gao?"
"Exactly a humble job!"
Ding Hong said quickly: "You are now the envoy of the royal palace, don't call it a humble position, I can't afford it!"
Although it was the first time they met to greet each other, Gao Yongfa did not forget his responsibilities and adhered to Ding Hong's words and deeds from beginning to end.
From this one meeting, Gao Yongfa roughly guessed that Ding Hong's desire to surrender was genuine.
"In the spring of the 24th year of Tai'an, you and I were separated from Yuanyang, and you wished me a triumphant return that day!" Speaking of this, Ding Hong said with emotion: "Who would have thought that this trip would actually be..."
Gao Yongfa sighed: "Yes, it is now the twenty-sixth year of Tai'an, two years... things have changed and people have changed!"
Because the situation in the capital was unknown, Longyoubei used the 26th year of Tai'an.
After the two were silent for a while, Ding Hong said: "Lao Gao, we are considered old friends. Please tell me...what exactly is His Highness King Yong's idea for us?"
To listen to the truth, Gao Yongfa still needs to decide how true it is. He is still not good at this industry.
After thinking about it carefully, Gao Yongfa said: "Your Highness cherishes talents. There are so many of you... Your Highness must be successful, otherwise he would not have spent so much effort and specially sent people to rectify the military equipment!"
"Besides, Commander Ding is the first among the local armies to voluntarily submit to the palace, so His Highness will naturally take a fancy to you!"
Two sentences, talking about the army and Ding Hong personally, gave Ding Hong a general sense of proportion.
"Also...your family has been treated favorably by His Highness. You can lead the army here with peace of mind!"
Ding Hong's family is in Yuanyang, so he has not been poisoned by zombies. He has lived in poverty in the past two years, but at least his family is still there.
Now that someone like Ding Hong appeared, Zhao Yanxun started to ask questions, and the life of the Ding family became much better.
Although he was treating Ding Hong's family well, Gao Yongfa's words sounded vaguely like a warning in his ears.
"Your Highness, God is kind to me, I shall fulfill my duties faithfully!" Ding Hong solemnly replied.
After a few breaths of silence, Ding Hong asked again: "By the way, where is the instructor sent by His Highness?"
Gao Yongfa smiled and waved to the distance. Zhang Ziming, who was stationed far away, immediately gave the order.
"All of you, stand at attention!"
The school grounds were relatively quiet, but Zhang Ziming's roar soared into the sky, naturally attracting the Longyou soldiers to look at him.
"Let's go together..."
Then these soldiers saw a line of troops walking in order from a distance, dozens of people making sonorous and powerful footsteps like one person.
"This...is this Yong Jun?"
"At first glance, they look like strong soldiers. No wonder they were able to eliminate the monsters in Longyou!"
"I heard from Mr. Qianhu that we can be trained by them. Everyone said...if we train like them, can we also fight those monsters!"
While everyone was talking about it, Zhang Ziming ordered again: "Look to the right..."
"One or two..."
After the team shouted twice, the steps of these soldiers became heavier, and at the same time they drew their swords out of their sheaths like machines, holding the sword in their right hands in front of their chests.
Dozens of knives were unsheathed at the same time. At this moment, the tips of the knives were all raised to the sky, which once again amazed everyone at the scene.
And for those who are far away, even if they can't see the specific movements clearly, they can still see the uniform light of the sword.
"This Yong army only has a few dozen people, but it has such momentum... It's really amazing!"
Not only the soldiers were shocked, but also some families could not help but marvel.
Obviously, Zhang Ziming's goal of revealing his hand was achieved, which can be regarded as a head start.
Convincing the people like Longyou Dusi, the next errand will be carried out more easily, and Zhang Ziming's purpose of bringing people to a "stunning" appearance will be achieved.
"Step..."
"One two one, one two one..."
"Settled...decided!"
The scene suddenly became quiet, except for the sound of blowing from the north.
