I’m The King Chapter 1156: : Carry on the past and open up the future (forty-six)

Jicheng in December was already covered in silver, and the whole city was covered with a plain white coat. Caught in a state of excitement. For hundreds of years, the former Yan State has been working hard to heighten and strengthen the city wall, but now it has been stripped to pieces, and piles of old bricks and stones have been bought by batches of merchants and put back into the new city During the construction of the building, countless carriages came and went, and the newly fallen snowflakes had not had time to settle, and had been crushed into a puddle of muddy water by countless big feet and countless wheels.

Business in the city was at its slowest at this time in previous years, and it would not improve until the twelfth lunar month, but this year is quite different from previous years. People who are used to Maodong have already left their homes one by one. Now is a good time to earn money. Whether it is demolishing the old city wall or working on a construction site outside the city, it is a day of cash. Bank of Communications, there is money to be made, who would stay at home with cats for the winter?

After earning money and having a lot of money in hand, it is naturally a lot more generous. The business of teahouses and restaurants in the city is not so good. The bosses are beaming with joy.

This year is not so good!

The people who eat are talking about a new construction site recently opened there. Work, the Han* team lost the battle in Pengcheng, which is also one of the focus of news that everyone has been discussing recently, but it is about the war. The big guys didn't worry too much, a small defeat is nothing, the Chu people angered the king, and the army marched over. Those arrogant Chu people are afraid that they will be wiped out in the blink of an eye. It must not be a big deal, otherwise those big shots in Jicheng could still sit on the Diaoyutai one by one, without any panic at all, what should they be doing or what are they doing!

It is the soldiers who feel differently from ordinary people. Ma Yin is one of them. He is a platoon leader of the Youth Guard Corps. In the Youth Guard Corps, there is a special guard troop whose daily task is to protect the security guards of the yamen in Jicheng and the security of Jicheng. .

There are four armies of the Young Guards Corps, nearly 100,000 people. The large troops were all stationed around Jicheng, only their Weiwu troops were stationed in the city, and Ma Yin, the platoon leader, was always responsible for the safety of the Ministry of War's yamen. As a member of the Weiwu army, Ma Yin wears a brand-new military uniform every day, and stands at the door of the most powerful and vital department of the entire Han Dynasty. In the eyes of outsiders, he is very majestic, and he does not know how many people are envious. But Ma Yin is very distressed, in his opinion, he is simply a vase. A clothes hanger, who has nothing to do every day, just works as a door **** here. Some of his fellow countrymen who entered the Youth Guard Corps at the same time as him are now battalion commanders, and they are still dangling in the small platoon leader's seat. Who let himself not be in the combat force, in the combat force. There are a lot of opportunities for meritorious service and promotion, and here. If you want to make meritorious service, there are too few opportunities. If you want to climb up step by step, there is basically no other way except for qualifications.

But Ma Yin clearly felt the solemn atmosphere in the Ministry of War during this period of time. The officials of the Ministry of War who came in and out usually had a relaxed face, but since the accident of the New First Army, everyone's face has changed. Tensioned, as if someone owed them money, the bustling military office became dead silent, only the sound of footsteps coming in and out reminded that there were hundreds of military officials and scribes inside.

During this period of time, even the king came twice. Obviously, the defeat of the new army greatly shocked the Ministry of War and the court. In Ma Yin's memory, the king was always very Those who seldom set foot in the Yamen of the Ministry of War, except for this month.

The change in the atmosphere made Ma Yin also heighten his vigilance, reminding his subordinates to pay attention to his appearance and standing military posture from time to time. The level is much higher than his own, if they let them catch some painful feet, it is not a joke.

Who made them unhappy and bored now! Ma Yin heard that the king lost his temper in the yamen of the Ministry of War.

Today's situation is even more unusual. Early in the morning, Ma Yin had just come to check the situation of the changing of the guard, and unexpectedly saw Ye Zhen, the commander of the Central Army, appearing in front of the military office, followed behind him, It was the well-known iron-footed general infantry in the entire Han army, Kong Fang, and Yang Fugui, the four giants of the Central Army arrived at the same time, which made Ma Yin feel that something big was about to happen.

However, what shocked him was just the beginning. As time went by, Ma Yin suddenly saw Xu Yuan, the commander of the Northern Army Group. Unlike Ye Zhenwen, Xu Yuan stood there, as if Then there was a murderous aura, and the whole person exuded a fierce aura. Behind Xu Yuan, Yan Peng, Luo Weiran, Gongsun Yi and others were like their commanders, like a knife, from the inside to the outside They all exuded a compelling aura, which made Ma Yin straighten his chest involuntarily. Xu Yuan's northern army was the army with the most battles and the most military exploits in the Han court.

After standing guard in the Yamen of the Ministry of War for a long time, there is still a great advantage, that is, I know many high-ranking officials, and all of them are famous generals. Of course, Ma Yin knows them, but they can't recognize Ma Yin.

Shortly after Xu Yuan left, there was a sound of horseshoes, and a group of cavalrymen appeared in Ma Yin's field of vision. They were all tall horses, and one person who jumped off the horse made Ma Yin shiver. The general in charge, then this one is the general with the highest status, because his sister is the king's concubine.

He Lanxiong, the commander of the Eastern Group Army, behind him, three people walked side by side, Yan Haibo, Ding Wei, Gu Li, especially Gu Li, the commander of the independent cavalry division of the Huns, with a hideous steel mask on his face No matter how conspicuous she is, although she debuted late, in terms of fame, she is much bigger than Commander Yan Haibo and Commander Ding Wei.

Ma Yin is already a little numb, what's the matter today, the important generals stationed in all sides of the Han court have returned to Jicheng one after another, and they have already reached the three group armies. Not far away.

Sure enough, not long after He Lanxiong entered, another group of people arrived at the Yamen of the Ministry of War. The commander of the Southern Field Army, Meng Chong, and the two commanders under his command, Zheng Xiaoyang and Tie Xuan, walked beside Meng Chong and chatted happily with him. It was the Qilu Army The commander Bai Yucheng, and Hengdao, Hutou and Wei Zhiwen behind him.

Before this group of people entered, there was the sound of horseshoes behind them, and another group of people galloped in. Looking at the appearance of these people, Ma Yin immediately recognized that they were the three leaders of the Donghu Independent Cavalry Division. Gu Huai'en, wooden bone Lu, high car.

Except for the big men of the New First Army, all the other armies gathered in the Yamen of the Ministry of War today.

Sure enough, something big happened. Ma Yin thought excitedly, maybe the king decided to use troops against Chu, so he recruited these generals back one by one to arrange big things. If this is the case, after he is laid off, he must Going to his boss, applying for transfer to the field army, and standing guard here, he is already very tired, that is as refreshing as the field army. I secretly made a small calculation in my heart, I have saved nearly a hundred taels of silver in the past two years, and then I will go to my colleagues to collect money, treat my boss to a good meal, and then buy Wu's best wine for two taels bottle, you must ask your boss to agree to transfer you away.

He was thinking about it in his heart, but when he looked up, he was startled. Several soldiers came towards him, but his boss's boss's boss came. It was Shangguan Hong, the commander of the Youth Guard Corps, and four of his subordinates. The army commanders are Yang Dasha, Guo Laoji, Guan Bo, Qu Zhen.

Ma Yin immediately straightened his chest. When those people came before, he dared to look up and down the appearance of these famous generals, but when these people came, he only dared to stare at the front Looking at one place, I dare not move my eyes.

"The military posture is not bad!" He vaguely heard one of them seems to be praising them~IndoMTL.com~The military posture is not bad, the key is to be able to fight! "The voice was very loud, and it sounded like Yang Dasha's rough voice, "These guards occupy the designation and staffing of our youth guards, but they are used as guards of honor all day long. It's not worth it, commander , You also tell the king to kick them out of the Young Guards. "

Hearing this, Ma Yin's heart tightened, and when he pricked up his ears and wanted to listen again, the other party had already entered the door and walked away.

"It's noon, I have to transfer away quickly, or I won't have a chance. If I really want to be kicked out of the Young Guards as Commander Yang said, it will be even more difficult if I want to be transferred to the combat unit in the future. .” Ma Yin shivered for a moment, he didn’t want to stand in a military posture here for the rest of his life.

Ma Yin, who was thinking about his thoughts, did not see that three more soldiers came in front of the gate. However, compared with the previous generals who held their heads high and their chests high, these three were a bit sluggish They are the three division commanders of the New First Army, the leader is Cui Chengxiu, acting commander and division commander of the first division, Gao Chengdong of the second division, Dong Zhuang of the third division, and Zhang Hongyu, the commander of their division. But it is no longer there. It wasn't until the three of them stepped through the door that Ma Yin realized that just now he was so far away that he didn't salute them. God, they wouldn't notice this, right? (to be continued)
