The feeling of the cavalry and archery army is completely different from that of the Xiaoxiong army and the Xiongwu army in front of me.
If the Xiaoxiong and Xiongwu armies showed me a majestic force, then the cavalry and archery army looked listless. Most of the cavalry and archery army officers were over thirty years old, and some even
The young soldiers were over forty years old. Unlike Xiao Xiong, the soldiers in both Xiong and Wu armies were all young adults in their twenties. Judging from the formation, the cavalry and archery army also appeared to be in disarray, with irregular formations and no rules.
Are these the elite of my archery army? I feel like a group of stragglers and insensitive.
Jia Sidao frowned when he saw me, and shouted loudly: "Boys of the cavalry and archery army, please have your bows in your hands."
After receiving the order, the cavalry and archer soldiers took out the bow from the bag on the horse and held the bow in their left hand.
Jia Sidao raised his hand and continued: "The arrow is on the string."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw feathered arrows already on the strings.
The speed was so fast and so neat, it was like a prop appearing suddenly in the hands of a magician. My eyes were still as usual, but in my heart I seemed to hear the sound of thousands of arrows being fired. I suddenly felt that this cavalry and archery army suddenly changed.
The biting murderous aura loomed along with the feather arrows. This feeling made my heart tremble even more than when I saw the Xiaoxiong Army soldiers shouting in unison before.
This kind of shouting would be fine as long as I was prepared in advance, but this invisible sound made me feel scared in my bones. I suddenly understood the views of people like Li Tingzhi and Lu Xiufu who had experienced war. Only such an army
It is the real Iron Army. Compared with Xiaoxiong and Xiongwu, they can be regarded as modern honor guards at best. Although their military appearance is neat, they do not have murderous intent.
If Jia Sidao had said, "Let go," then hundreds of arrows would have been fired in unison, and I would have died. Or maybe some of the shooters did not control their strength well and "fired" unintentionally, making it impossible for me to avoid it. Of course,
, all these assumptions are based on the fact that Jia Sidao wants to murder me. However, facing hundreds of feather arrows in person is really frightening. Even the master Yuan Ji who is next to him is a little nervous.
A slight cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Fortunately, Jia Sidao's third sentence is not "release", but "receive".
The cavalry and archery troops returned to their original state in an instant, and the fear in my heart also disappeared. Only then did I realize that I was also breaking out in a cold sweat.
Jia Sidao had a smile on his brows and gave me a demonstrative look: "Your Majesty, please come into the tent. I will introduce to your Majesty the main generals of the Forbidden Army."
Seeing that I was still in a daze, Yuan Ji touched me lightly and said, "Your Majesty, come into the house."
I finally regained my composure and walked towards the big tent in the camp. Of course I understood that this was Jia Sidao's threat to me. Jia Sidao wanted me to understand that as long as he lowered his hand and said "let go", my life would be at risk.
over.
Since the vision came from the sky, Jia Sidao can also feel my gradually showing strength. Once the imperial power becomes stronger, the prime minister's power will be in crisis. Of course, Jia Sidao will not give in. Standing at the pinnacle of power, who is willing to take the initiative?
What about walking down?
From ancient times to the present, in all dynasties, those who have been able to stand at the pinnacle of power have always stepped on the shoulders of others, or even drank the blood of others. Therefore, of course, I want to be on top forever, even if it is cold at the top.
Don't want to give up.
Threatening me with the imperial army? It seems that Jia Sidao is also a little impatient, and Jia Sidao seems to have forgotten something. The whole world is not the king's land, and the imperial army is also composed of our people of the Song Dynasty. The surname of the imperial army is not Jia, but Zhao.
Unless Jia Sidao wants to rebel.
The big tent is actually a big room, but it is customary in the army to call the general's room a big tent. I am sitting on the main seat in the middle. On my left are Jia Sidao, Xia Gui, Fan Wenhu and other forbidden army generals, and on my right is Wen Tianxiang.
Lu Xiufu, Wen Zhang and other ministers accompanying me, Yuan Ji and Xiao Qi stood behind me, and twenty imperial guards including Lan Yu and Shen Mo stood guard outside the tent.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty, the food in the army is not as good as in the palace. The food is poor. Your Majesty, don't blame me." Jia Sidao spoke first.
"Haha, do as the Romans do."
Jia Sidao picked up the wine glass: "Your Majesty, please."
"Okay, everyone, let's raise a glass together."
General Jia Sidao introduced me to the generals in his tent one by one. Xia Jiangang, commander of the horse army, Long Zaitian, commander of the infantry army, Wu Songhan, deputy commander of the archer army and about ten others, when he talked about the last general
, I paid attention. I seemed to have seen this man's name somewhere, and I seemed to feel the murderous aura from the cavalry and archer army just now.
"Wang Sheng, once served as the commander of Kui Road, and is now the commander of the infantry of the Forbidden Army."
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, has come to see my Emperor. Long live, long live, long live."
"Pingsheng, Wang Aiqing doesn't need to be polite. I know you are a capable general."
It turned out that he had just been promoted from the frontline generals, and he was indeed a little different from other generals. I remembered that in the memorial of the Ministry of War approved a few days ago, there was such a number one person, Wang Sheng, the commander of Kui Road, who won the battle of Li City and Shaping.
achievement.
Wang Sheng was overjoyed. He didn't expect me to know about him, so he hurriedly said, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."
After three rounds of drinking, the generals in the Forbidden Army gradually became more talkative. Except for Wang Sheng and Wu Songhan, everyone began to brag about their military exploits.
"Although our cavalry army is small in number, it is much stronger than your infantry army."
"Xia Jiangang, you must have drunk too much. In every battle we fought, our infantry was not the main force."
The topic gradually turned to the battle between the cavalry and the infantry. The generals in the army were no better than the civil servants in the court. Most of them were rough people. They drank a lot and spoke less scrupulously. They seemed to have forgotten that I, the emperor, was sitting on the throne.
.
After Jia Sidao offered me a glass of wine, he said: "Your Majesty, they are all rough people. Don't pay attention to them. I am too drunk to drink. Let me go and change my clothes first."
The debate became more and more intense with Jia Sidao's departure. The horse army infantry generals headed by Xia Jiangang and Long Zaitian began to turn from the debate into a quarrel.
Xia Jiangang pretended to be Xia Gui's nephew, drank a glass of wine, and stood up: "Long, do you dare to make a gesture with me?"
Long Zaitian also stood up and said angrily: "Xia, who are you? You dare to compete with me?"
When Fan Wenhu and Xia Gui saw the chaos, they stood up in a hurry and said: "Xia Jiangang, Long Zaitian, what are you kidding about? The Emperor is here, why don't you get down quickly."
Xia Jiangang snorted and said, "If the Emperor hadn't been here, the Japanese commander would have taught you a lesson today, which would have saved your infantry from being self-righteous."
Long Zaitian, who was about to return to his seat, stopped immediately when he heard this, turned around and said: "You are not finished yet, the emperor is here, I will make a gesture with you, and you will be the emperor."
It adds to the fun.”
Xia Jiangang sneered, knelt down to me and said, "Your Majesty, please allow me to compete with you and drink for Your Majesty's entertainment."
What, is this Jia Sidao’s Hongmen Banquet?
As long as we are not facing thousands of troops and Yuan Ji is here, I will naturally not worry. Jia Sidao regards me as Liu Bang, and he wants to be Xiang Yu, but he seems not qualified.
I smiled and said: "In that case, then you guys have to compete and hit the mark without hurting anyone."
Xia Jiangang and Long Zaitian looked at each other, as if they didn't expect me to agree so readily. However, the two of them had already spoken, so they had no choice but to open up their postures, fight with each other, and start fighting with each other.
Since I, the emperor, was present, all the imperial generals who entered the room did not carry weapons, so the two of them fought with bare hands.
I couldn't tell whether these two people really drank too much, or did it on purpose? However, it was no longer important. I picked up the wine glass and watched the two fighting with interest, occasionally looking at the generals present.
, there were still only Wu Songhan and Wang Sheng sitting on the edge, drinking wine silently, as if everything here had nothing to do with them.
"You two bastards make trouble when you drink, let alone His Majesty is still here." Jia Sidao shouted loudly as soon as he came back.
When Xia Jiangang and Long Zaitian saw Jia Sidao, they stopped in a hurry, just like a mouse seeing a cat, and returned to their seats without saying a word.
Jia Sidao seemed to be still angry: "Fists and feet have no eyes. If you accidentally scare the emperor, how many heads do you have? Get out of the tent if you don't let me know."
Xia and Long lowered their heads and walked backwards away from the tent.
"Your Majesty, I apologize for my neglect of discipline."
"What are the crimes of teachers and ministers? Soldiers should naturally have the blood and blood of soldiers. If they all speak and write like civil servants in court, how can they win the battle on the battlefield?"
Jia Sidao was stunned for a moment and said: "Your Majesty is wise."
I smiled lightly: "Okay, the food and wine are enough, let's go back to the palace."
