Secretly keeping armor is almost equivalent to treason!
He never thought that Yun Zheng would actually accuse him of secretly possessing armor.
After a brief moment of distraction, Huo Gu quickly calmed himself down.
He has nothing to panic about this matter!
He has never done this!
It is impossible that just because Yun Zheng said he was hiding armor, he was hiding armor.
You are dreaming if you want to accuse yourself of possessing armor!
Huo Gu quickly regained his composure and said slowly, "Your Highness, you may not know that this time we have mobilized the soldiers from various garrisons for training, and the armory cannot gather so many armors at once. It's not just your side, but all the troops undergoing training are short of armor..."
There are more than 100,000 soldiers who are undergoing training this time!
Armor can also be damaged!
...
...
These people have been farming for more than five years!
After their original armor was collected in the armory, most of it was used to supplement the consumption of the standing army.
Armor is different from weapons.
In fact, each city and each tribe has its own specialized weapons casting team.
Therefore, weapons are easy to replenish.
But armor is different. The imperial court has strictly ordered that no one is allowed to make armor privately.
Although the imperial court also set up an ordnance department in Shuobei, there were limited craftsmen here and it took a long time to transport the various materials needed to make armor, so not many armors could be made.
Most of the armor was actually supplied by the imperial court.
Now, no one knows where the armor replenished by the court is!
Where could they get so much armor?
Besides, it’s not his responsibility to replenish the armor!
"Is that so?"
Yun Zheng smiled embarrassedly, "I am new here and don't understand the situation. I almost misunderstood General Huo. I hope General Huo don't take it to heart."
"Your Majesty, you are too kind."
Huo Gu forced a smile, "Your Majesty doesn't understand the situation, just explain it clearly."
"Yeah, that's right!"
Yun Zheng nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "How about this, you first give me a thousand sets of armor from your troops, and when the armor from the court arrives, I will return them in full!"
"My Lord, this won't do!"
Huo Gu refused without a second thought, "The battle of Shuobei is imminent, and all our soldiers need to wear armor and train! This is the order of the general, and I dare not neglect it."
At this moment, Huo Gu couldn't help cursing in his heart.
I haven't even investigated him for privately replacing his generals, so how dare he ask me to borrow armor?
If he hadn't been concerned about Yun Zheng's identity, he would have jumped up and pointed at Yun Zheng's nose and cursed him.
"You've all been training in armor for five years, so you don't need a few months of time, right?"
Yun Zheng frowned and said, "But these soldiers under my command haven't worn armor for five years! Many of them may have forgotten how to wear armor! If we don't seize the time to train them strictly, can we expect them to go to the battlefield?"
More than just not counting on them?
Not even you!
Huo Gu snorted in his heart and said sternly: "I understand what Your Majesty means, and I also know that Your Majesty is anxious, but I'm sorry that I really can't agree to it!"
"All right!"
Yun Zheng smiled slightly, and suddenly shouted sternly: "Someone come!"
Gao He and Zhou Mi stepped forward quickly and asked, "What do you want, Your Majesty?"
Yun Zheng suddenly raised his finger and pointed at the dismissed generals, saying sternly: "Take away their weapons for me!"
"yes!"
The two men immediately took the order and stepped forward.
This sudden change made Huo Gu and several laid-off generals a little confused.
"Your Majesty!"
After coming to his senses, Huo Gu immediately stood up and said in a deep voice: "I wonder what crime they have committed?"
"We'll talk later!"
Yun Zheng waved his hands and urged Gao He and Zhou Mi impatiently: "Why are you still standing there? Didn't you hear my order?"
Upon hearing this, the two men immediately threw away their weapons without saying a word.
Several dismissed generals wanted to resist, but they did not dare to do so and could only allow Gao He and Zhou Mi to take away their weapons.
"Behead him!"
Yun Zheng growled again.
What?
This time, even Gao He and Zhou Mi were stunned.
The prince actually wants to kill them?
Is the prince trying to make an example of someone?
Several dismissed generals were so frightened that they turned pale and looked at Huo Gu for help.
They never dreamed that when they went to Huo Gu to file a complaint, Yun Zheng was going to execute them.
This is simply lawless!
"Your Majesty!"
Huo Gu was really angry this time, and stood in front of the few people with a frosty face: "Even if the prince is of noble status, you cannot kill the generals in the army without reason! If the prince acts recklessly, don't blame me for offending you!"
"Are you threatening this king?"
A cold light suddenly flashed in Yun Zheng's eyes, and he looked at Huo Gu coldly.
Facing Yun Zheng's gaze, Huo Gu felt inexplicably uneasy.
After trying hard to calm his mind, Huo Gu suddenly pressed the sword at his waist and growled with a sullen face: "If the prince persists in his delusion, I will have no choice but to offend him!"
Yun Zheng's eyes were filled with a cold light as he stared at Huo Gu. "I will stand here and not move. I will give you one more chance of courage. Let's see if you dare to draw your sword in front of me!"
Seeing that something was wrong, Zhou Mi quickly ordered the guards around him to find Shen Luoyan.
Yun Zheng was obviously angry!
They were really afraid that Yun Zheng would kill Huo Gu in a rage.
If that happened, even if Yun Zheng was a prince, he would definitely be thrown into jail.
Now only Princess Shen Luoyan can persuade him!
Faced with Yun Zheng's aggressive pressure, Huo Gu was hesitant to draw his sword.
Of course he knew what it meant to draw his sword in front of Yun Zheng.
If he were charged with murdering the prince, his family would be implicated even after his death.
After hesitating for a long time, Huo Gu's reason finally overcame his anger.
"Your Majesty! This is also for your own good!"
Huo Gu removed his hand from the hilt and gritted his teeth, saying, "If Your Majesty kills the generals in the army without reason, even if the matter is reported to His Majesty, His Majesty will never forgive Your Majesty!"
"Don't use my father to pressure me. I don't want to hear this!" Yun Zheng snorted coldly and said, "I just want to know if you were threatening me just now?"
Huo Gu's face froze. Although he was furious, he still said, "I dare not!"
"Don't dare?"
Yun Zheng snorted coldly: "That would be best!"
At this time, Shen Luoyan, who got the news, hurried in.
"What's wrong?"
Shen Luoyan asked Yun Zheng with a frown.
"Nothing!"
Yun Zheng said casually and waved his hands impatiently at Gao He and Zhou Mi, "Behead them!"
Shen Luoyan was about to stop him, but saw Yun Zheng winking at her frantically.
Um?
Chen Luoyan was confused and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth, deciding to wait and see.
Seeing that Chen Luoyan did not speak up to stop them, Gao He and Zhou Mi had no choice but to bite the bullet and call people forward.
At this point, several laid-off generals were completely panicked.
"Your Majesty, spare my life!"
"Your Majesty, what crime have we committed? You can't do this!"
"Please spare my life, my lord. I acknowledge my crime..."
Several people were in a panic, some begged for mercy, and some made their final struggle.
However, it was of no avail.
Gao He and Zhou Mi directly led people to drag them out.
Huo Gu and Shen Luoyan were about to stop them, but Yun Zheng stopped them before they could.
"What are you doing? You guys!"
Yun Zheng stopped a few guards and glared at Gao He and Zhou Mi with a mixture of anger and amusement, "I asked you to cut off their weapons for me! Why are you dragging them out?"
"ah?"
Listening to Yun Zheng's words, everyone was confused...
