Just follow the rules.
"Didn't you, General Xie, send five or six small teams to chase and intercept those barbarians? Judging from the speed, time, and course of action of that group of troops, they should be in the area of Changlan Mountain at this time." Ming Yu pointed with his white and slender fingers. Pointing to a certain point on the map, he said confidently.
Ji You's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, and then he was amazed, he didn't need to lean over to look at the map, he already knew the place Ming Yu was pointing at. That's right, when he came out, General Xie arranged it himself. The troops were divided into several routes and rushed to the Changlan Mountain. This King Duan didn't know anything about the situation. He had already analyzed the barbarians just by looking at the map. And it is exactly the same as what General Xie said, so... this Duan Wang is really the rumored stupid prince
Mo Jiang has long been familiar with this. His Highness has made decisions on all matters along the way. His Highness's knowledge is much better than ordinary people. Those rumors that His Highness is stupid must be due to proper jealousy.
"Your Highness, in this way, don't we have to take a long way to avoid the area around Changlan Mountain?" Mo Jiang asked.
Ming Yu nodded, they didn't have to join in the excitement, a group of mobs would be a hindrance if they went, anyway, it wasn't the dish, if they were accidentally injured, it would be troublesome, it's better to take a detour.
Ji You was a little regretful, their general had already set up a pocket array, and when the time came, those barbarian bandits would enter the urn, not to mention their participation in meritorious service, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to take a bite of the soup. Hey! Why is it so unlucky, if I knew it earlier, I would ask Mr. Wen to figure out a better time to start, as long as I can avoid Duan Wang's team!
Mo Jiang was also a bit regretful, he had been serving in the imperial guards of the capital all along, and he had never seen a real battle to kill an enemy. To be honest, their Imperial Guards are well-known because they have a good name, and they have never participated in the war. Every year, the royal autumn hunting, they just help drive away wolves, tigers and leopards in the royal garden, so that the emperor and dignitaries People are having fun.
Which man is not passionate? He also yearns for real battles with real swords and guns.
Ming Yu looked at Mo Jiang's expression of regret, and said with a smile, "What? Does Commander Mo have any ideas? Let's talk about it."
Mo Jiang hesitated for a while, before he said: "Your Highness, it is certainly possible to take a long detour, but if the Red Robe Army is fighting this time, if they can observe the combat capabilities of the Red Robe Army, I think it will benefit a lot."
Although he said that he really wanted to watch this battle, but he was more concerned about Ming Yu. He knew the virtues of these guards. In Liangzhou, it would be difficult to gain a foothold without a real army guard. He also agreed with Ming Yu's thoughts. I know, that's why I said this.
What Mo Jiang said is very reasonable. A real soldier needs to see blood to grow up. At the beginning, they were not allowed to come into contact with it personally. Just watching the war scene from the sidelines should give them enough shock, right? As for the rest, take your time, don't rush.
Ming Yu weighed the pros and cons, looked at Mo Jiang, and had already guessed his little thoughts, and he agreed with a half-smile: "It makes sense, so there is no need to change the route, and proceed according to the original plan."
Mo Jiang was seen through his mind, so he didn't take it seriously. Instead, he was very happy. He knew that His Highness would definitely seize this opportunity. Being able to witness the red-robed army fighting with his own eyes was worth a thousand dollars.
5. Chapter 5
When they made a decision, Ji Yu didn't know whether to cry or laugh. He knew their general's temperament, and he didn't like to be sent to this kind of ceremonial work the most. Being able to send a team of escorts was already for the sake of General Wei... well, there were enough benefits.
Changlan Mountain is not too far from here, but it takes two or three days. The main reason is that this road will save a lot of journey to Liangcheng, and if you can reach the destination one day earlier, you can settle down earlier. Thinking about it this way, a little trouble is not a trouble.
Ming Yu arranged for tomorrow's affairs again, just after the end, the maid Qingping brought someone to bring the meals up, she is the most useful person among all the attendants, Ming Yu's food and clothing expenses are all up to Qingping took care of it all.
"Your Highness, it's getting late, let's discuss anything after dinner." Qing Ping put three dishes and one soup on the small table beside him. According to the prince's meal, it was absolutely impossible to be so simple , but under Ming Yu's insistence, Qingping could only compromise.
Seeing this, Mo Jiang and Ji You prepared to salute and leave, but Ming Yu suddenly didn't realize the passage of time, nodded, his eyes caught sight of the meal on the table, but his face turned pale. Thinking of the tragic situation in the village today, I have been suppressing my emotions before, so that I don't think about it. Later, I discussed business with them again, and temporarily forgot about it. Now, after relaxing, seeing the large piece of barbecue on the table, I immediately thought of the tragedy after scene, and couldn't restrain my heart from churning anymore, and vomited it out.
It is the first time for Ming Yu, who grew up in the peaceful era of the later generations, to see such a bloody scene unprepared. No matter how strong a person is, he may not be able to accept it. It is not easy for him to survive until now. .
"Your Highness, what's the matter with you?" Qingping asked anxiously, she didn't understand why His Highness was acting like this all of a sudden, she thought it was because he was not feeling well, "I'll call the imperial doctor right away."
Ming Yu grabbed her, waved his hands, and said weakly: "I'm fine, I'll just finish vomiting. Take these away, and I won't be able to eat them for a while."
"This..." Qingping was extremely anxious, and for no apparent reason, she didn't know what to do for a while.
Seeing Ming Yu's pale face, Mo Jiang went over to help him sit down, "Your Highness? Who is this?" Suddenly recalling the inhumane scene in the village, he had guessed it right in his mind, so he comforted Qingping, "Remove the meals first. Go down, and cook some light millet porridge later."
Qingping looked at Ming Yu at a loss, saw him nodding, and then quickly ordered someone to remove the food.
Mo Jiang regretted endlessly in his heart. He should not have told His Highness the matter, or should have stopped him and prevented him from going. Thinking that they were going to Changlan Mountain, if they encountered General Xie fighting the barbarians there, His Highness would not be able to bear the scene.
"Your Highness, why don't you take a detour tomorrow, although it takes a few more days to walk, but it's better to be safe." Mo Jiang said worriedly.
Ming Yu was taken aback for a moment. After he vomited, he felt much better. After thinking about it, he realized Mo Jiang's worry, so he smiled and said, "It's nothing. Since it's already been decided, there's no need to change it. Actually, it's not a big deal. , get used to it."
Looking at His Highness Duan Wang who was smiling and helpless, his baby-fat face was pale, and his peach blossom eyes were watery due to the physiological reaction after vomiting just now, and there was still a little bit of water vapor on his eyelashes. Mo Jiang grieved slightly in his heart and sighed. After all, he was still a young man of seventeen or eighteen. From His Royal Highness, who was praised by everyone, he left the familiar environment and went to an unknown and dangerous place. His heart is not as indifferent as it appears on the surface.
Mo Jiang felt distressed, and the more he knew him, the more he felt distressed. That's right, it's his heartache, his heartfelt heartache for His Royal Highness, who is full of glory and wealth, what is he thinking in his heart? Why do you insist on making this desolate and war-torn Liangzhou a fief under everyone's strange gazes and ridicule, and be a wealthy and idle prince in the land of Gyeonggi
Thinking so in his heart, but asked inadvertently, Ming Yu looked at him in surprise. Mo Jiang's face turned red. Hey, why didn't he keep his mouth shut? Is it his subordinate who should ask about His Highness's affairs? He saluted remorsefully: "Your Highness, I will take my leave first."
Ming Yu nodded, seeing Mo Jiang and Ji You coming out hand in hand, he was at a loss for the first time, yes, why did he choose such a place? He asked himself, he didn't want to stay near the capital because the capital was the center of the vortex, and he was afraid that he would sink involuntarily and be crushed in the end. However, he could also find a place far away from the capital and not have to suffer in the Jiangnan land of fish and rice to enjoy his future life in peace, why? Woolen cloth
His only understanding of the entire Great Yan Dynasty is the memory of the original owner and a book of "Great Yan Customs". Seeing the situation in Liangzhou, an idea emerged in his subconscious mind. Crisis and opportunity coexist. Virgo, female land, is a blank picture scroll that has never been developed. If he arrives in Liangzhou, he can use his own hands to draw everything he wants on this blank paper in Liangzhou, and he may be able to change Liangzhou little by little. status quo.
Ming Yu thought of what he had seen and heard after entering Liangzhou. There was an old and numb face, a youthful and vigorous one who wanted to join the army to kill the enemy, and a childish innocence without any awareness of the dangers he faced in the future. He once asked them, there are barbarian invasions here from time to time, and there are wars every year, why don't you hide away and move to other peaceful places, wouldn't it be good to live a peaceful life? However, the answers they got were all the same, the homeland is hard to leave, the ancestors have lived on this land for generations, who would want to leave their hometown, and the fallen leaves return to their roots.
People are creatures with feelings, no matter how difficult it is, even if there are barbarians watching, there are still frontier soldiers stationed to guard this land, and red-robed soldiers are fighting for them and the barbarians. In the future, maybe there will be There will always be a good day when the war is quelled.
Ming Yu is silent, people have faith to have hope, maybe I can do something for them.
Ming Yu, who was quietly staying alone in the tent, gradually became firmer in his eyes. He has never regretted coming here, not now, nor in the future.
After separating from Mo Jiang, Ji You habitually pinched the bridge of his nose lightly with his fingers
