Beauty is in Huaijiangshan in hand

Early in the morning, before dawn, Jiang Zhe got up.The court ladies and eunuchs who served him didn't know what to do, and thought they had misremembered the date of the court, because they all knew that Jiang Zhe liked to sleep until the morning before getting up to wash his hands.

When Zhao Neng, who was still sleepy, heard that Jiang Zhe asked him to prepare his horse and go to the Xiao cavalry station in Xuanwu Lake, Zhao Neng immediately woke up. It's just a thought, it's still raining outside, why go to the barracks in such a hurry?Is something wrong?It can be seen that the emperor's complexion is not the same.Boldly said: "The emperor wants to inspect the cavalry guards, and introduce the servants to greet them, so that they are ready to pick them up."

"How do you say hello? I'm going now." Jiang Zhe said decisively.

"Then servants are going to prepare for the Luanjia."

"You slave is becoming less and less good at serving. I asked you to prepare a horse, what kind of horse do you prepare?" Jiang Zhe scolded with a smile.

"Yes. The servant girl is going to prepare the horse now."

Braving the autumn rain, Jiang Zhe rode a white horse and headed straight for Xuanwu Lake with Zhang Xiao and more than [-] guards.

Xuanwu Lake is located outside the northeastern city wall of Jinling City. The shore of the lake is diamond-shaped, with a circumference of about ten kilometers. There are five islands in the lake, which divide the lake into four large areas, and the islands are connected by bridges or embankments.It was originally a good tourist attraction, but the Tang Dynasty chose this place as the residence of Xiaoqiwei, the most elite army in the capital.

As the saying goes, there is an autumn rain and a cool one. In late autumn and October, the lake is already red and thin, green and thin, and the residual lotus is withered.

When Jiang Zhe came here with Zhang Xiao and others, he saw that the entire lake area was surrounded by fences, and a banner that was soaked by rain was trembling in the cold wind, with a ferocious leopard with wings embroidered on it , as if really want to soar in the wind.One could vaguely see a line of neatly lined-up sergeants in the battalion conducting drills, and the sound of slogans came from time to time.

Jiang Zhe saw that the huge camp was orderly, heavily guarded, and ordered to rectify it, so he couldn't help but nodded to Zhang Xiao and praised: "It seems that Admiral Ding is really a general."

Zhang Xiao saw the appearance of the Xiao cavalry guards in such a dignified manner, he also said excitedly: "That's right. The emperor came suddenly, they couldn't possibly know the news. I think this Xiao cavalry guards have always been like this."

The two wanted to comment a few more words, but they suddenly heard a shout from the front: "Who dares to ride a horse here? Don't you know that riding a horse in front of the camp is a capital offense? Come down!"

Which of the guards behind Jiang Zhe is not used to being arrogant?Immediately, someone rode up and shouted: "Blind your dog's eyes, this is the current Long Live Lord, and I will dismount you too?"

Unexpectedly, the sergeant was not afraid, but said coldly: "Our army has not been notified."

Seeing that the sergeant dared to reject even the emperor, the guard became furious, raised his whip, and was about to whip him over.But Zhang Xiao held his arm, and said to the sergeant: "It is true that the emperor has arrived, quickly move away the rejecting horse, open the gate of the camp, and Xuan Ding Bingzhen came out to meet the emperor."

The soldier was still unmoved, raised his face and said, "I'm sorry, I only listen to General Ding's orders in this army!"

Hearing this sentence, Zhang Xiao was also angry, and shouted: "Bold, do you dare not welcome the emperor?"

Seeing this, Jiang Zhe quickly stopped Zhang Xiao and said, "Don't blame them, it's true that we came too suddenly."

"Then what should we do? Your Majesty, can't we just go back?" Zhang Xiao was still a little angry.

Jiang Zhe chuckled, and said, "I never do things that fail without success. Show them this." As he spoke, he took out a bright yellow bundle from his bosom.

Zhang Xiao took it over and looked at it, but his expression also changed. He didn't expect that the emperor would bring the jade seal with him. He quickly opened the package respectfully, raised the jade seal with both hands, and said loudly: "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty The Jade Seal of Chuan Kingdom is here, and Ding Bingzhen is quickly passed on to receive the imperial edict, and the emperor wants to enter the camp to observe the soldiers, so he is ordered to come quickly to pick him up!"

Although the sergeant guarding the gate had never seen Yuxi, but seeing this situation, he knew that the emperor had arrived in all likelihood, so he hurriedly said: "Please wait a moment, my lord, and I will report to General Ding immediately."

About half a cup of tea later, a banner officer ran over quickly, stood at the gate of the camp, and said loudly, "General Ding, the commander-in-chief of the military affairs of the admiral Xiao cavalry, respectfully invites the emperor to enter the camp!"

Zhang Xiao saw that Ding Bingzhen had only sent a banner officer to pick him up, but he was waiting in the camp for the emperor to come in to meet him.But he saw that Jiang Zhe had already gotten off his horse and was walking towards the camp.When all the guards saw this situation, who dared to say anything, they obediently got off their horses, protected Jiang Zhe from stepping on the mud, and walked towards the camp step by step.

Jiang Zhe and his party went straight to less than [-] meters away from the large tent of the Chinese army, only to see a tall, broad-shouldered middle-aged general in a faded military uniform striding out.There are a pair of bright big eyes embedded in the bronze-colored face. It looks like he is only in his thirties, but if you look closely, there are already several wrinkles on the forehead.

I saw this tall and thin middle-aged general walking about ten steps away from Jiang Zhe, stopped abruptly, did not kneel down, but just clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I'm in military uniform, please give me a military salute." See you!"

Zhang Xiao couldn't hold back his anger anymore, and shouted violently: "Ding Bingzhen, don't be too presumptuous!"

But Jiang Zhe called Zhang Xiao to stop, smiled at Ding Bingzhen, and said, "Yes, no courtesy. Let me walk around with you."

Ding Bingzhen raised his head and said, "The emperor please review."

Jiang Zhe chatted with Ding Bingzhen casually while walking, "How many people are there in the camp now, and how are the weapons and equipment?"

Ding Bingzhen replied: "There are 620 registered officers and soldiers in the whole battalion, [-] horses, and [-] mules."

When Jiang Zhe heard that there were so many horses, almost every soldier had a horse, he couldn't help being very happy, and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, how about General Ding giving us a show?"

Ding Bingzhen secretly laughed in his heart that the emperor had no common sense, but he still said politely: "It is unfortunate that the emperor is here today. It is raining today, and the horses are easy to slip. It is not convenient to perform too fast, but I can arrange cavalry formations." practice."

When Jiang Zhe heard that it was raining and it was inconvenient to perform, he felt a little disappointed, and thought, is this Xiaoqiwei also a silver-like wax spear head that is fancy but not useful?But judging from the military appearance and discipline, this army should also be the best among the troops of the Tang Dynasty.Now that everyone is here, the actual things are not worth looking at, and watching the performance of the cavalry is better than nothing.He nodded and said, "Quite."

Following Ding Bingzhen's order, a thousand black-clothed and black-armored cavalrymen gathered on the school grounds and began formation drills.In fact, in Xuanwu Lake, there is no room for the cavalry to play, not to mention it is still raining today, so what Ding Bingzhen can show Jiang Zhe is just to let the cavalry walk in the phalanx, change the formation and other military parades. The usual set.

Although Jiang Zhe felt that it was not as good as he expected, but seeing that the coordination between the riders and the horses was very good, he couldn't help but nodded slightly. After all, the cavalry of the Han nationality has always been bad.

Jiang Zhe stayed in Ding Bingzhen's army for a whole morning, and did not leave until it was time for lunch.On the way back to the palace, Jiang Zhe asked Zhang Xiao: "Izumo (Zhang Xiao's word), what do you think of Ding Bingzhen?"

"This man is rebellious and rebellious, and he has no father. I think the emperor should punish him for disrespect." Zhang Xiao still has a heart for Ding Bingzhen's arrogance.

Jiang Zhe laughed and said: "I don't blame him for this. What I like is that he can lead troops. You have also seen it today. The soldiers of Xiaoqiwei can be called the division of tigers and wolves."

Zhang Xiao hurriedly said: "Although Ding Bingzhen has the talent to manage the army, he is so arrogant. It is not for the ministers." Behavior can never be let go.

Jiang Zhe looked back in the direction of Xuanwu Lake and said, "If Izumo thinks that Ding Bingzhen is really so arrogant, then you still think highly of him."

Zhang Xiao asked suspiciously: "I don't understand what the emperor means, and I hope the emperor will express it!"

Jiang Zhe sneered and said, "According to my observation, Ding Bingzhen's unruly behavior today is intentional."

"Deliberately? I don't even understand."

"You are a man of true temperament, so of course you don't understand these dirty tricks in officialdom and politics." Jiang Zhe whipped his horse severely, and continued, "What we saw today, except those outside the camp Those and others were all deliberately shown by Ding Bingzhen. After he knew that I was coming, he still sat firmly in the tent of the Chinese army, waiting for me to go over to see him. As you said, this was not done by a courtier, and When he saw me, he was obviously not wearing a battle armor, but he deliberately met me with a military salute, and so on, he was all posturing."

Zhang Xiao frowned and said, "Why did Ding Bingzhen do this? Does he want to rebel?"

"Rebellion? He wouldn't dare to lend him three more guts." Jiang Zhe sneered, and then said, "He is a smart man, and he knows that he can't turn the sky with the little soldiers in his hands, but he is very aware of his own power. It also plays a vital role in this court situation. He is taking this opportunity to show off his strength to me and put pressure on me, hoping that I can give him more benefits."

Zhang Xiao was silent, he really didn't expect that Ding Bingzhen would have such thoughts, and he even couldn't imagine that the young master in front of him could see things so thoroughly.At such a young age, where did such an imperial mind come from?Is it really the reincarnation of the real dragon?

I was thinking wildly, but I heard Jiang Zhe laughingly said: "Alright. Ding Bingzhen's pretentious posture today made me feel relieved of him, which shows that he still bet his treasure on me, but his appetite is relatively large."

Zhang Xiao continued: "How does the emperor plan to reward him?"

"A reward?" Jiang Zhe said with clenched teeth, "He really wants to reward him, but I won't give him anything, and let him obediently serve me. Those who are truly loyal to me, I will naturally Treat him with sincerity, but if you play this kind of political trick with me, I have my own extraordinary means to deal with it."
