Two days later, Yun Zheng will arrive at Mayi City.
Seeing that it was getting late, Yun Zheng decided to rest in Mayi City tonight.
After passing Mayi City, you will reach Dingbei City.
"Report!"
At this time, the scouts sent out brought back two riders on fast horses.
Soon, the scout came to Yun Zheng and said, "Your Highness, I met these two people on my way to Mayi to report the news. They said they were here to pass on the message under the order of General Wei."
While the scout was speaking, the two men dismounted and saluted Yun Zheng.
"oh?"
Yun Zheng was slightly surprised, "What did General Wei ask you to tell me?"
One of them immediately replied, "The general has received the news that the prince has arrived in Shuobei, and the general has specially ordered us to come and inform the prince that the general has arrived in Mayi and will hold a banquet in Mayi to welcome the prince and the princess."
...
...
"That would be great!"
Yun Zheng laughed, "Go back and tell General Wei that I will be there soon!"
"yes!"
The two men immediately mounted their horses and drove away quickly.
Yun Zheng raised the corner of his mouth and immediately led everyone to Mayi.
Okay!
They don’t have to go to Dingbei City to find Wei Wenzhong, and it can also save them some time.
It seems that Wei Wenzhong will not let him command the army in the three cities ahead.
Otherwise, Wei Wenzhong would not have to go to Mayi to hold a banquet for them.
Soon, Yun Zheng led everyone to Mayi City.
Wei Wenzhong led the officials and generals of all ranks in Mayi City to welcome them two miles outside the city, which was considered to give some face to Yun Zheng, the King of Jingbei.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Yun Zheng and others followed Wei Wenzhong into the city.
Not everyone was qualified to attend the banquet hosted by Wei Wenzhong.
Yun Zheng and Shen Luoyan brought a few guards and followed Wei Wenzhong into the city defense mansion. The rest of the people were temporarily placed in the barracks in the city.
After three rounds of drinking, Yun Zheng took the initiative to ask Wei Wenzhong: "Where does General Wei intend to let me lead the army?"
"Shuofang."
Wei Wenzhong gave a simple and direct answer.
Shuofang?
Yun Zheng's heart moved.
Isn’t Shuofang right between Suqu and Dingbei City?
Um!
Not bad, although it is not in Suqu, it is also good to be next to Suqu.
The main reason is that Shuofang is not far from Baishui River.
The only drawback is that Shuofang is too close to Dingbei City.
If there is any disturbance on his side, it might reach Wei Wenzhong's ears.
However, Shuobei is vast and sparsely populated.
Although Shuofang is next to Dingbei City, there is still a distance of more than 200 miles between them.
If you think about it this way, Shuofang also has great potential!
While Yun Zheng was thinking, Wei Wenzhong continued, "The nearly 10,000 soldiers in the Shuofang West Camp were originally soldiers who settled in the fields. A battle next year is inevitable. Those soldiers have already put on their armor again. After the prince takes office..."
"etc!"
Shen Luoyan suddenly interrupted Wei Wenzhong and asked with dissatisfaction: "General Wei, are the soldiers you transferred to the prince the soldiers who were previously engaged in farming?"
"right!"
Wei Wenzhong nodded with a smile.
After getting a positive answer, Shen Luoyan was about to explode on the spot.
Yun Zheng held Shen Luoyan and frowned at Wei Wenzhong, "Is this your intention or the emperor's intention?"
"Of course it is His Majesty's intention."
Wei Wenzhong said solemnly: "The emperor has already sent someone to inform me that the army will not be sent to Beihuan until the beginning of next spring. Now that Your Majesty has arrived in Shuobei, I cannot leave Your Majesty idle. I will ask Your Majesty to help me retrain those soldiers who have settled in the fields, so that Your Majesty can gradually become familiar with military affairs..."
Hearing Wei Wenzhong's words, Shen Luoyan suddenly became furious.
Can the soldiers who farm the land be the same as the standing army in Shuobei?
To put it bluntly, the soldiers who settled in the fields were basically old, weak, sick and disabled people who were eliminated from the regular army of the Northern Army!
Even if they are well trained, their combat capability is not on the same level as the standing army!
However, even if she was extremely dissatisfied, she could do nothing about it now.
This is what Emperor Wen meant!
Wei Wenzhong also acted according to Emperor Wen's wishes.
Even if she jumped up and beat Wei Wenzhong, it would be of no avail.
"Since it is Father's will, then let it be!"
Yun Zheng was too lazy to say anything else.
There is no point in saying anything else.
Could he allow Wei Wenzhong to go against his father's wishes and allocate 9,000 elite soldiers to him?
He dared to propose it, but Wei Wenzhong would definitely not agree!
have to!
Now we really have to get busy!
To train the soldiers who are engaged in farming?
Okay!
This is a challenge and also an opportunity!
It is definitely much easier to subdue these soldiers who are farming than to subdue those elite soldiers.
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty."
Wei Wenzhong said something polite, and then took out the hand order he had prepared and handed it to Yun Zheng, "This is my hand order. Your Majesty can rush to the camp with the hand order and take over the military affairs of the camp!"
"good!"
Yun Zheng took the warrant and put it away without even looking at it.
At this time, Wei Wenzhong stood up again and bowed, saying, "There is one more thing that I must explain to the prince in advance to avoid misunderstandings."
"Speak!"
Yun Zheng waved gently.
Wei Wenzhong said solemnly: "Since Your Highness took over military affairs, Your Highness has been the commander of the Northern Army! For matters not related to military affairs, I will try my best to satisfy Your Highness, but for matters related to military affairs, Your Highness, please obey your orders and don't make it difficult for me."
Wei Wenzhong's words were relatively obscure.
Yun Zheng understood what he meant.
He, Wei Wenzhong, is the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army. Even if he is a prince, he cannot disobey orders.
Otherwise, I'm afraid you will be punished by military law!
This should be considered as Wei Wenzhong's way of showing his power to himself!
"OK!"
Yun Zheng readily agreed, "Since I have come to Shuobei to lead the army, I will obey your orders."
Wei Wenzhong laughed and bowed, saying, "Thank you very much, Your Majesty!"
"It's okay, this is what I should do!"
Yun Zheng waved his hand and suddenly changed the subject, "However, I have something to say in advance, so please don't take it to heart, General Wei."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
Wei Wenzhong smiled.
Yun Zheng smiled and waved to Gao He, signaling him to take his sword.
After receiving the sword from Gao He, Yun Zheng placed it in front of Wei Wenzhong and said solemnly, "This sword was personally presented to me by my father when he led all the civil and military officials of the court to see me and my princess off!"
"This prince will not interfere with General Wei's military affairs, and will obey his orders!"
"But if there are criminals in the army, and if General Wei cannot deal with them impartially, I will have to personally punish them on behalf of my father!"
Hearing Yun Zheng's words, Wei Wenzhong's face froze.
He gave Yun Zheng a warning, and Yun Zheng also gave him a warning.
When Yun Zheng took out the knife, he was telling himself clearly not to act like the commander of the Northern Army!
He is the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army, he is also a prince, and he has the sword bestowed by the emperor!
If you want to cause trouble for him, consider your own identity first!
It seems that this prince is not as stupid as the legend says!
At least, he immediately understood the hidden meaning of my words and used the situation to his advantage.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. If there are any criminals in the army, I will deal with them impartially!"
Wei Wenzhong smiled calmly.
Yun Zheng nodded and smiled: "This king also believes in General Wei!"
