Dajin royal family

Chapter 339 Agreed Strategy
call!
A gust of cold wind blew in, and Pei Yuanyan felt a sharp chill all over his body.

He knew that his next answer would be related to his life. He already knew why Jiang Chengxiao wanted to imprison Jiang Shiyan, and he was sure of the answer in his heart.

He sneaked a look at the back facing him, that figure looked a little thin, but very majestic.

"My lord, the final general is willing to die for my lord!" Pei Yuanyan knelt on both knees and put his head on the ground.

After the words fell, Jiang Chengxiao didn't reply him immediately.

After a long time, Jiang Chengxiao said slowly: "What if one day your grandfather scolds you for this? Or even drive you out of the house?"

Pei Yuanyan pursed her lips, a flash of determination flashed in her eyes.

"My lord, the general has said it, but His Royal Highness will obey. No matter what happens in the future, the general will always follow the lord."

Suddenly, he felt a pair of powerful palms on his shoulders.

"Get up." Jiang Chengxiao helped him up.

Immediately, he took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to him.

"This is what your grandfather asked me to bring to you, take a look."

Nan Jiyun walked in with Jiang Tang, came to Jiang Chengxiao's side, and handed Jiang Chengxiao the ginger soup.

While drinking ginger soup to drive away the cold, he watched Pei Yuanyan's expression and reaction.

After he finished reading the letter, Pei Yuanyan said with a sad face, "Your Highness, why did you scare the last general?"

"Why did I scare you?" Jiang Chengxiao blinked, smiled, and handed him the leftover ginger soup.

Pei Yuanyan took the soup bowl and said with a wry smile: "I thought His Highness questioned the general because he suspected that the latter had two intentions. I just found out after reading my grandfather's letter. It turned out that it was my grandfather who asked His Highness to test me."

"Then do you know why Mr. Pei asked me to test you?"

"I know, what His Highness intends is very big, and you will eventually understand the seriousness."

Jiang Chengxiao nodded, and then said: "Okay, since you know, you can tell me your answer now. Don't worry, no matter what you choose, I won't blame you, and I won't hurt your life. You can rest assured."

"Your Highness, the last general will still say the same thing, but His Highness will obey." Pei Yuanyan looked at him firmly.

Jiang Chengxiao smiled slightly, "Don't rush to say that, you have to think clearly, once you promise me, from now on you will be my Jiang Chengxiao's general, not the imperial court's general, nor the Pei family's. Pei Yuanyan."

Pei Yuanyan froze for a moment, then nodded immediately.

"The general is clear, but please rest assured, Your Highness. If His Highness does not appreciate it, the general is now only a general of the Pei family, and no longer a general of the Liaodong Army. Your Highness has great trust in the general, and the general will always remember it in his heart!"

This time Jiang Chengxiao's stern face completely relaxed, and he helped Pei Yuanyan up.

"Yuan Yan, I promise you that your achievements will not be lower than your grandfather's in the future."

"Your Highness." Pei Yuanyan looked at him moved.

"Drink the ginger soup. When General Yuchi returns tomorrow, we still have important matters to discuss. Don't freeze your body."

"Yes."

When Pei Yuanyan left the big tent, he realized that he seemed to have collapsed.

At the same time, he felt an unprecedented sense of excitement. He didn't know whether the decision he made was correct, but he knew that from this moment on, the burden on him became heavier.

In the tent, Nan Jiyun whispered: "My lord, can you believe what Pei Yuanyan said?"

Jiang Chengxiao took a slight breath and said, "I can't see it now, but we will know it when we come to Bingzhou. I hope he won't let me down."

In his heart, he sincerely hoped that Pei Yuanyan could do what he said.

He could tolerate Pei Ningqing following him with the expectations of the Pei family, but he could never tolerate such a situation with the general leading the army.

It's not that he doesn't trust Pei Yuanyan, he just doesn't believe in the family's chastity.

Some things are better planned for.

The next day.

The sky was clear and the air was clear. On the pasture, the war drums were thundering, the war horses were neighing fiercely, and smoke and dust filled the air.

Jiang Chengxiao was dressed in armor, standing on the high platform, looking at the dark army below.

"Your Highness, the Green Eagle Army has expanded to [-]. According to His Highness's request, all of them are elites who are ready to ride." Pei Yuanyan introduced.

"Well done, Yuan Yan, you remember, the number of soldiers is not as good as they are."

What happened to Lu Mingyue back then was a clear example, a [-] army?

Just a joke.

"How about a war horse?"

"His Royal Highness, we snatched some from the grassland tribes and bought some. At present, [-]% of the soldiers barely have horses." Pei Yuanyan said.

"War horses are indispensable, let the quartermaster pay attention and write me a note."

The cavalry is the most important thing. When he fought the Turks, he had seen the almost invincible arms in this cold weapon era.

"I will understand at the end."

Jiang Chengxiao looked at the green eagle flag with a black background beside the flag soldier, with a slight smile on his face.

The Green Eagle Army was the first army he formed under his command. When it swept across the grasslands, everything was destroyed.

At this moment, there was a tremor in the distance, and a large number of cavalry came quickly, led by General Wei Chijing.

And behind him is the silver eagle battle flag on a black background. This is an all-cavalry unit, the Black Eagle Army!
"His Royal Highness, General Yuchi has returned with the Black Eagle Army!" the personal guard reported from the side.

"pass."

"Yes."

Not long after, Yu Chijing in bright armor came to the high platform.

"The last general, Yu Chijing, see His Royal Highness Liang Wang!" Yu Chijing bowed.

With a smile on Jiang Chengxiao's face, he reached out to help him up.

"Gong De doesn't need to be too polite, you and I are a family."

"Your Highness, there is no family affection in the army, and the last general dare not make mistakes." Yuchi said solemnly.

Jiang Chengxiao nodded, and didn't dwell on this topic.

"General Yuchi, how is the situation of the Black Eagle Army?"

Yuchi Jing said: "According to His Highness's order, the Black Eagle Army has now expanded to 2 people, all of whom are elite cavalry."

"Okay, you're doing well."

Jiang Chengxiao nodded.

The Qingying Army and the Black Eagle Army are the troops that exist on the surface in his hands, and they are also the Qubu that was reported to the imperial military department.

Bringing Pei Yuanyan and Yu Chijing along, Jiang Chengxiao and his party stepped into the tent of the Chinese army.

Here, Zheng Ruxin, Zheng Ruyi, Pei Ningqing, Du Ruming, Yu Qingze and others were all present.

After Jiang Chengxiao first knelt down on the main seat, the others knelt down one after another.

"This time, His Majesty appointed the king as Hebei recruiter, and allowed the king to lead the soldiers and horses of the three counties outside the pass to suppress the bandits. Everyone, please tell me where we should start."

After finishing the words, Yu Chijing first said: "Your Highness, the first county to enter the customs is Beiping County. I heard that banditry is rampant there. The general thought that we should start from Beiping County and gradually advance to the counties in Hebei."

"What does General Pei mean?"

Pei Yuanyan leaned forward and said: "Your Highness, the general thinks that the king should be captured first before the thief is captured. Currently, the 'Mantian King' Wang Xuba of Hejian County is the most powerful, and they should be dealt with first."

Yu Chijing frowned and said, "Isn't that right? Banditry is spreading everywhere in the counties of Hebei. If we deal with Wang Xuba first, it would take too long. Wouldn't it give those bandits a chance to steal their lives?"

"However, advancing step by step will give Wang Xuba a chance to develop his power. When we reach Hejian County, Wang Xuba's power may expand again, so what should we do?"

The two argued with each other for a while, and then asked Jiang Chengxiao what he meant.

Jiang Chengxiao didn't express his opinion immediately, but instead looked at Du Ruming.

"Lord Du, how much military pay do we still have?"

Hearing that Jiang Chengxiao asked him, Du Ruming immediately breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that Jiang Chengxiao would recklessly send troops regardless of the logistics.

"Reporting to Your Highness, the currently available military salary is around [-] shi, which can support the use of the two armies for half a year."

Zheng Ruxin said: "This year's harvest in the three counties outside the Guan is not good, and they have been plundered by the Xi tribe. This is all the food and grass that I can support after discussing with Master Du."

"Fifty thousand stones" Jiang Chengxiao muttered twice.

Immediately said: "Don't worry, the imperial court has allocated [-] shi of food and grass to us, and we are currently on our way."

"That's good, with one year's military salary, Your Highness, we can slowly attack the counties in Hebei." Yu Chijing said.

Jiang Chengxiao smiled, and said: "General Yuchi, don't worry, he's just a mere Wang Xuba. Is he stronger than Lu Mingyue, who was known as an army of [-]?"

Hearing this, everyone smiled lightly.

Pei Yuanyan said solemnly: "Your Highness, don't underestimate Wang Xuba. This person was just an ordinary bandit in Hejian County, but he defeated the other rebel bandits in Hejian County one by one. Now he is raging in half of Hejian County. Not to be underestimated."

"General Pei is right. These violent bandits really shouldn't be underestimated." Jiang Chengxiao agreed, and immediately said, "Since this Wang Xuba is so powerful, let's observe for a while and deal with the violent bandits in front of our house first."
