"I've seen my son!"
Early in the morning, Xiao Yi followed Tian He to the military camp.
In Tian He's tent, he led seven or eight generals to kneel down on one knee and gave Xiao Yi a military salute. Naturally, Tian He couldn't hide the excitement on his face, but the faces of the veterans behind him were all different.
"Excuse me! Everyone sit down and talk." Xiao Yi waved his hand with a smile on his face, letting the generals take their seats.
The few generals that Tian He brought over were all fierce generals who followed him when he was the old Zhennan King. Among them, some of the older ones, like Tian He, had already known their destiny, and some of the younger ones were not yet at the age of no doubts. Yes, it was after the old Zhennan King arrived in southern Xinjiang that he came under his command.
Among these veterans, some had fought side by side with Xiao Yi in the Battle of Baiyue the year before last, and some had not had much contact with Xiao Yi when they guarded Luoyue City and other cities. But there was a trace of scrutiny in his eyes, which also made the atmosphere in the tent a little weird.
Xiao Yi naturally felt it, but he didn't take it seriously. Whether it is a donkey or a horse, you will know when you pull it out for a while. There is ample time!
"General Lan, General Jiang, General Hua, Deputy General Xin..." Xiao Yi smiled and named several of them, "Are you guys who have never met my brother Fu?"
The generals Xiao Yi pointed out were all guarding other cities during the battle with Baiyue the year before last, or the battle lines happened to be staggered from Xiao Yi's army, so they had no chance to meet Fu Yunhe.
"This one is Mr. Fu San from Yongyang's eldest princess mansion, named Yunhe. This time, he will come to Southern Xinjiang with me and plan to practice in the army."
Hearing this, Fu Yunhe took a step forward, clasped fists and saluted with all the veterans: "This junior, Fu Yunhe has met all the generals." Fu Yunhe's claim to be a junior naturally meant being close. Considering that his grandmother is Princess Yongyang, and decades ago, Yongyang was also under the command of the old Zhennan King for several years, and he was also in the same robe as some of the veterans, so his title is not wrong.
"It turns out to be the grandson of His Royal Highness Princess Yongyang. He is indeed a hero born in youth, and he has a bit of demeanor when His Royal Highness was young. How has Your Highness been these past few years?" General Hua, who is in his fifties, stroked his beard and looked at Fu Yunhe, remembering Back then when he fought side by side with Yong Yang, he felt a little nostalgic and emotional, and now looking at Fu Yunhe also feels like looking at his own nephew.
"General Hua, grandmother, she is old and strong, and now she still hears the chicken dancing every day, and she has to go to the martial arts field to practice for an hour every day." Fu Yunhe said with a smile, with a very affectionate attitude.
Lieutenant General Xin who was beside General Hua said, "Your Highness, it's been like a day for decades, it's still the same His Highness back then."
Deputy General Xin squinted his eyes reminiscently and said: "I still remember that His Highness spent three days and three nights without sleep in Huaibei to hunt down the remnants of the former dynasty, and finally wiped out those gangsters."
"I still remember that even the old prince praised His Royal Highness for his arrogance, even a man can't compare with himself." General Hua showed a smile, and after a few words, the atmosphere in the camp became much warmer.
After exchanging pleasantries, a bearded general eagerly cupped his hands and said loudly: "My lord, now that the Nanman is declaring war on our Southern Frontier Army, the prince has handed over a peace agreement to Nanman..."
This veteran was surnamed Hu, and he followed Xiao Yi to take down the two cities of Fuzhong and Kailian.
Today, this General Hu came from Kailian City to visit Xiao Yi at the camp of Luoyue City.
The words just said have been held back in his heart for several days, and now he finally has the opportunity to say them, and the more he speaks, the more indignant he is: "My lord, the whole southern border is in panic now, since you are back, you have to think about it." Find a way!"
Of course the people are afraid of war, but what makes the people in southern Xinjiang even more unwilling is their surrender to the Nanman. These ordinary people still have dignity, let alone these brave and skilled soldiers.
Before Xiao Yi returned to southern Xinjiang, General Hu and several other generals under Xiao Yi's command came to meet Tian He in secret long ago, and asked Tian He if he had any news from the Elder Son. What do you think...
Tian He's attitude has always been a bit secretive, and he only asked them to wait...wait and wait, and even Xiao Yi waited for him to come back!
This good news made General Hu and others almost suspect that they were dreaming! The emperor is willing to let the son back?!
With the return of the eldest son Xiao Yi, they will have a backbone!
Thinking about it, General Hu couldn't help but glared at Tian He, thinking that General Tian must have known about the son's return to southern Xinjiang a long time ago, but he couldn't explain it clearly. Hey, General Tian is really true, they are all his own people, he somehow hinted to himself! I was so angry that I didn't sleep well in those days!
Tian He received several condemning gazes from the generals, and couldn't help sweating profusely, feeling really bitter in his heart.
He can't tell them that Shizi went to Baiyue and turned Baiyue upside down, can he? He can't say that Baiyue declared war because of Shizi?... Besides, this matter is very important, and there is no mistake. No, if the prince sees something wrong, then the painstaking planning of the son will come to naught, and it will all be in vain!
Xiao Yi also saw the silent communication of the generals, cleared his throat, and said nonchalantly: "General Hu, please be safe and don't be impatient. Now that the Southern Barbarians haven't come yet, why should we mess ourselves up! What's more, the new king of Nanban is now on the throne, the foundation is not stable, and the country is full of crises. Even if the new king Nuhar really leads the army, it is just a mob! We can beat them once, and we can beat them second times! They dare not attack until they are beaten!"
If these words were spoken by Xiao Yi, who has never been on the battlefield before, I am afraid it would not be convincing, but the current Xiao Yi is not the well-known dandy brother back then. He led the Southern Border Army to repel the Nanman and captured the Nanman The First Prince Kuilang's. Among the generals present, several of them have personally followed Xiao Yi on the battlefield, and they know how wise and brave Shi Ziye is, brave and good at fighting.
Xiao Yi now has great prestige in the army, one sentence of his is better than hundreds of others, one sentence of his can appease the hearts of the soldiers, and one sentence of his can shock the hearts of all the generals.
Even the few veterans who were scrutinizing at first couldn't help but change their eyes, thinking to themselves: No matter how the son of the world is, at least he is not a timid one. This is much better than the prince...
In just a few words, the atmosphere in the camp has become completely different. Several veterans looked at each other, and all of them were excited.
That's right, with the prince here, what's the matter with the Nanmanzi!
"What the elder son said is true." General Hu stood up, clasped his fists and said again, "The last general is a rough man, anyway, just follow the elder son!"
His last sentence was a little silly, which made several generals couldn't help laughing, and several of them chuckled.
At this moment, the voice of soldiers saluting came from outside the tent: "See you, my lord."
In this military camp, the only one who can be called the "Prince" is the King of Zhennan!
In the next moment, King Zhennan opened the curtain and walked into the tent. Xiao Yi, Fu Yunhe and all the generals naturally stood up and saluted King Zhennan in unison:
"Father!"
"My lord!"
King Zhennan walked quickly into the tent, his face sinking like water. As soon as he learned that Xiao Yi had gone to the camp of Luoyue City early in the morning, he rushed over in a hurry, fearing that all the veterans in the army would be bought by Xiao Yi, and then he would have no place to stand as the King of Zhennan in the future!
Thinking about it, Zhennan Wang's gloomy gaze fell on Xiao Yi, wondering what Xiao Yi's intentions were in this trip.
Now that Zhennan King came, Xiao Yi naturally gave up the main seat and sat down on the left side.
"My lord," Fu Yunhe saluted Zhennan Wang with a smile instead of a military salute, "my nephew should have visited you at the palace as soon as possible, but I just arrived in southern Xinjiang a few days ago and I was busy settling down. Don't blame me."
Fu Yunhe is Yong Yang's grandson, maybe he is the emperor's eyeliner, Zhennan King always wants to give him some face, and politely said: "My nephew is very polite. If there is anything you are not used to in southern Xinjiang, feel free to come Find this king!"
"Thank you, my lord." Fu Yunhe thanked him with a bow.
"Ayi," King Zhennan looked at Xiao Yi again, and said coldly, "Why didn't you tell me in advance that you are coming to the camp today? The camp is an important place for military secrets, and it's not like you play around on weekdays. The place!"
What he said made the veterans in the camp frown slightly. If the eldest son was still the twelve-year-old playboy in southern Xinjiang, it would not be unreasonable for the king of Zhennan to scold him so much, but now the elder son has grown up. When he grows up, he can go to the battlefield, kill the Nanmanzi, and have the ability to command an army alone. Even the two cities of Fuzhong and Kailian are well-organized under the management of the son. It can be said that the son of the world has already demonstrated the abilities he must have as the son of the Zhennan king, so why not come to Daying as the next Zhennan king
I think back when King Zhennan was still the eldest son, the old prince carefully cultivated and guided him carefully...
Not only Tian He knew about these events back then, but all the veterans present knew, so their feelings at the moment were more complicated than those of the young generals.
Xiao Yi looked deeply at King Zhennan, but his heart was much calmer and more indifferent than others. Once some things were taken away, he would no longer care about them.
He stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Father, you came just in time, my son is about to petition you, go to Kailian City..."
Zhennan Wang narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking that he would definitely not like what Xiao Yi said next.
Sure enough, Xiao Yi continued unhurriedly: "My son thought that he would rather fight than open Liancheng to Baiyue!"
His attitude was indifferent, but at that moment he released a stern air, and the veterans who watched all nodded secretly: Although the eldest son does not look like the old prince, he has a bit of the old prince in his temperament and handling of things. elegant demeanor.
Over the years, how could these veterans not know that King Zhennan's talents are mediocre, but he is still a little narrow-minded. They often feel that the veterans left by them, the old princes, are relying on their old ones, and most of them have gradually become reticent. , anyway, at this age, the time for glory and passion has passed...
All kinds of misdeeds of the eldest son Xiao Yi once disappointed them. They felt that the Zhennan Prince's Mansion was not as good as the previous generation. Thinking of this, they all felt that the old prince would not feel at ease if he knew anything.
It wasn't until Shi Ziye became famous in the first battle the year before last that the generals felt a little relieved.
At last, the old prince still has someone to succeed him!
The veterans were very pleased, but Zhennan Wang frowned and was about to yell, but he changed his mind when he got to the words: this Nizi is so belligerent by nature, and his streak of victories before made him a little He was so ecstatic that he really thought he was some kind of God of War! He had to suffer a little bit, otherwise how could he be a good prince with his temperament of shouting and killing every now and then!
Zhennan Wang frowned, and said in a cold voice: "Since you were young, you have always refused to give up until you hit your head, so please do it yourself!" He shook his sleeves and left without comment.
The veterans in the camp shook their heads secretly, but Xiao Yi didn't take it seriously. He had heard such reproaches a lot since he was a child.
"Brother, then you must take me with you!" Fu Yunhe said eagerly.
General Hu also interjected: "There is still the last general."
Xiao Yi smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Okay! We will set off tomorrow morning!"
Xiao Yi's temperament is bright and straightforward, but in a short period of time, those veterans who were still a little stranger to him have become much warmer, and their conversations have relaxed a lot. After a brief discussion with the generals, Xiao Yi and Fu Yunhe left the Luoyue City camp.
Fu Yunhe followed Tianhe back to Tianfu, Xiao Yi naturally returned to Bixiaotang.
