……

In the middle of March in 739 of the Dayang calendar, Emperor Dayang ordered the Southern Expedition, and appointed Qi Fang, the leader of the Dongshan Army, as the commander of the 30 Southern Expedition Army, and Zhu Mingjing, the leader of the Zhengyang Army, as the deputy commander.

At the end of March in 739 of the Dayang calendar, Zhu Mingjing led the Zhengyang army and Lu Yuan's Ziyang army to meet up in Lijun, a border city of Dayang.

"Why, are you nervous?" Seeing Su Ye who got up early in the morning to practice swords outside the barracks, Le Bai couldn't help but patted his shoulder and asked with a smile.

"Sorry to wake you up." Su Ye breathed out, looked at the slightly bright sky and the towering city wall in the distance, and said, "Although I knew that such a day would come, I was always a little uneasy. "

"People, there will always be a first time, just get used to it." Le Bai smiled, took a simple knife and slashed at the wooden post in front of him, cutting off half of the wooden post directly, neatly.

Le Bai put away the knife, put the tip of the knife on the ground, and supported the handle of the knife with both hands and said, "As long as you make the first cut, the second and third cuts will not be far away."

Su Ye was slightly taken aback, then his eyes narrowed, he raised the simple knife and slashed at the wooden pile in front of him. The first knife only penetrated three inches into the wood, but Su Ye did not show any dissatisfaction, but continued to quickly withdraw the knife and then Lifting the knife again, he slashed towards the wooden post, repeating this over and over again, until the entire wooden post was split in half. Su Ye then closed the knife, kneeling on the ground with one knee on the ground, supporting the handle of the knife, panting fiercely, the sweat on his forehead was like a Crystal dewdrops fell on the ground.

"Does it feel better?" Le Bai asked looking down at Su Ye, who was dripping with sweat.

Su Ye took a deep breath and replied, "Much better than before."

"This method can only relieve your anxiety for a while. If you want to truly overcome your inner fear, you still have to be on the battlefield."

"I understand." Su Ye nodded.

The atmosphere fell into silence again, and Su Ye, who had rested for a while, stood up again and began to practice the knife, while Le Bai sat on the stone steps beside him and watched Su Ye repeatedly practice chopping, teasing, picking, cutting, these last Basic knife style.

Suddenly, a thin figure quietly sat beside Le Bai, with a pair of eyes as clear as a mirror, also silently looking at Su Ye who was practicing sword not far away.

Seeing that the thin figure did not speak, Le Bai couldn't help saying, "The King of Yue finally became the deputy commander of the Southern Expedition."

Zhu Jian was silent for a while, and then said lightly, "It's a little too hasty, but it's expected."

"Oh?" Le Bai frowned and asked, "As you said, this Southern Expedition is very important to our central government. I think the adults in the court hall will not fail to see this. Why did you choose King Yue?"

"I think the position of deputy commander-in-chief this time is probably not decided by the court, but by His Majesty." Zhu Jian said calmly, "The king of Yue probably persuaded his elder brother, so he became the deputy commander-in-chief."

brother?

Le Bai couldn't help but said, "I think King Yue has been trying to prove himself these years. The more arrogant he is, the less he wants to wear a flashy hat on his head. If the Southern Expedition against Changting is successful, King Yue will This hat lives up to its name."

"But if it fails, not only the king of Yue will be blamed, but it will also be a major blow to me, Da Yang." Le Bai then said worriedly.

"So the person who serves as the deputy of the King of Yue this time is the commander-in-chief of the Ziyang Army, Lu Yuan. Although he is an assistant, he may not be a constraint. I think the King of Yue needs to seek the advice of General Lu no matter what big moves he makes."

"This is not bad, at least Lu Yuan is also a famous general in the world, and he must be even more powerful for the King of Yue."

"No, you're wrong," Zhu Jian shook his head and said in a deep voice, "This is not what the King of Yue wants. If Lu Yuan's opinion is sought for everything, wouldn't his position as deputy commander be just a decoration? In this way , the King of Yue is still not a famous general who can stand on his own."

"Since the king of Yue is the coach, then all the first names of the victories will be recorded on the head of the king of Yue. This is the most beautiful job for the king of Yue. Why not?"

"You don't understand." Zhu Jian said indifferently, "I told you, the King of Yue is a proud person, even in his bones, how can such a person want such a rare achievement? The King of Yue is fighting for the post of deputy commander-in-chief. The price paid is probably almost the same as the merit of the crusade against Changting. So what he wanted could not be more obvious, I am afraid that the king of Yue has already racked his brains to think about how to deal with the existence of Lu Yuan."

"Are you saying that the King of Yue wants to drive away Lu Yuan?" Le Bai rubbed his brows and thought, "In this case, what will happen to the [-] Ziyang Army?"

"I think according to King Yue's character, the most likely thing is to let Lu Yuan lead the [-] Ziyang Army to attack Gecheng, while he leads the Zhengyang Army to bypass Gecheng and attack Mo County."

Hearing this, Le Bai couldn't help but widen his eyes and said, "In this case, isn't the King of Yue planning to go deep into the hinterland of Changting Kingdom?"

Seeing Le Bai's frightened expression, Zhu Jian still looked like an ancient well without waves, "To win in danger, if we can go all the way to Changting, the capital of Jicheng, then King Yue and our [-] Zhengyang The army is also famous in the world."

Hearing this, Le Bai couldn't help jumping his feet and said, "It's easy for you to say, there are at least four or five cities blocking this road, and it's not counting all kinds of natural dangers and rivers. It's a lonely army going deep, so what about food supplies? I'm afraid If we can get to the gates of the Sacrifice City, our [-] Zhengyang Army will be outnumbered."

"The boat will be straight when it arrives at the bridge. The matter has not yet been settled, and we have not yet left the gate of Li County. It is still too early to worry about it."

Lebo rolled his eyes, and Churi, who was lying on the ground looking at the horizon, said angrily, "I have known you for so many years and I still don't understand you. You are a crow's mouth and you are always right. If I don't prepare well this time, I'm afraid I will be in trouble." There is no life or death.”

Zhu Jian just smiled when he heard the words, and didn't say much.

Then Le Bai straightened his back again, looked at Zhu Jian aside and said, "Seriously, if this time is really what you said, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay long in the Southern Expedition."

Zhu Jian shook his head with a serious expression when he heard the words, and said in a deep voice, "No, I want to stay."

"Are you stupid? If you died here, then my Aunt Qin would be so sad!"

Seeing the unconcealable worry in Le Bai's eyes, Zhu Jian smiled lightly and said softly, "It's hard to come out once, if you don't even see the great rivers and mountains outside, wouldn't it be a pity."

"You have no chance to meet. If Aunt Yiqin's temperament finds out about King Yue's actions this time, she will definitely send you back to Beijing. It's up to you whether you want to or not." Le Bai sneered.

"But if my concubine knows that I am not in the Zhengyang Army, but in the Qifang Dongshan Army, then this worry is nothing."
