They all say I'm a puppet

In the spring of the second year of Zhenghe in the Great Zhou Dynasty, with Jin Wang He Canglin as the marshal of the march, he led an army of [-] to the southwest.Zhenghe Emperor He Hongyi was born in the army and was best at marching and fighting, but this is indeed the first time Jin Wang He Canglin led an army, and he was the marching marshal. Therefore, He Hongyi specially sent two Sun Qian and Wu Ying who had followed him for many years. The first general is the general in charge of the march, assisting the king of Jin, aiming to win the southwest.

On the day of the expedition, He Hongyi personally came outside the city to practice for the army.

Cang Lin was riding on a horse, wearing a bright light armor, riding on a tall dark horse, holding a wine bowl in his hand, and raised it up to He Hongyi on the city wall, turned the horse's head with the other hand, looked To the tens of thousands of troops standing in front of him, he said loudly: "If you don't break the southwest, you will not return it!" After saying that, he raised his head and drank the wine in the wine bowl, and threw the wine bowl on the ground with a crisp sound.

The soldiers of the three armies also raised their wine bowls one after another, and drank their own wine. The sound of wine bowls falling to the ground sounded one after another, and the voices of the soldiers raised their voices and shouted through the sky.Cang Lin turned his head and cupped his hands towards He Hongyi. He Hongyi nodded slightly on the city wall. Cang Lin turned his head and waved to the army: "Let's go!"

The soldiers of the three armies responded in unison, the front army moved first, the rear army followed, set foot on the official road, and headed for the far southwest.

This is a brand new experience for Cang Lin, and it is also a very new thing for Fu Yu who has been following him on horseback.He had been hiding in the army dressed as an ordinary soldier just now, and beside him, Jing Yi and Jing Feng, who had also changed their clothes, had been quietly protecting him.He didn't appear behind Cang Lin until the army set foot on the official road.

Marching and fighting is no different than traveling in the past. You have to ride on a horse all day long. The journey is long and difficult. Although it is the first time for Cang Lin to go to war, he has practiced martial arts for many years and is physically strong. His body was thin, but he followed the progress of the army all day long, and he didn't seem to have the slightest discomfort.

Because of the long distance from the capital to the southwest, the army set out every morning and camped at dusk.Although Cang Lin was marching for the first time, there were two generals in the army after all, so everything was arranged in an orderly manner, and everyone performed their duties.It was also true that no one noticed that after camping, a soldier followed the commander into his tent.

Cang Lin's stern face in front of people slowed down after entering the tent, he reached out and grabbed Fu Yu's hand, and pulled him to sit down in front of the bed: "I've been driving all day today, I'm very tired. right?"

Fu Yu shook his head, with a slight smile on his lips, he pulled Cang Lin to let him sit down beside him, and leaned his head on his shoulder: "Don't think I'm so weak, I'm riding a horse after all. Ma, there are still so many people on foot, aren’t they?”

Even though Fu Yu said so, Cang Lin looked at the tiredness in his eyes and felt a little distressed. He took Fu Yu's hand and said, "This is only the first day. With the speed of the army, it may take more than one day to get to the southwest." months. I’m afraid your body won’t be able to handle it after a long time.”

"As long as you're here, I can take it." Fu Yu yawned as he said that, and simply turned his body and fell on Cang Lin's lap, "I'll sleep for a while, call me when I have dinner later." After I finished, I slowly closed my eyes, and fell asleep not long after, probably because I was very tired, and even snored a little, sleeping very soundly.

Cang Lin lowered his head, kissed Fu Yu's forehead with special affection, and pulled the quilt from the bed to cover him.Before Fuyu had slept for a long time, the sound of footsteps came from outside the tent, Cang Lin frowned slightly, carefully helped Fuyu to lie down on the pillow, tucked the corner of the quilt, and walked around the screen When he got to the desk, the tent door was pushed open just as he sat down, and Sun Qian and Wu Ying walked in.

Cang Lin got up immediately, with a slight smile on his face: "The two generals are here at this time, but they have something to discuss?"

Sun Qian's eyes stayed on Cang Lin's face for a while, and sat down carelessly: "Lao Wu and I are rough people. We have marched and fought with the current emperor for many years, and we don't know much about etiquette. Your Highness, don't take it too seriously. We It's because I haven't been in contact with His Highness before, so I came here today to study the situation in the southwest with His Highness, and see if His Highness has any insights. You can't wait until you arrive in the Southwest and encounter the enemy army, and you still don't know about this battle How to fight, right?"

Cang Lin curled his lips: "What General Sun said is true." He turned and stood in front of the tent with folded arms, without any expression on his face, but he also stared at Wu Ying intently, "General Sun, please sit down too. Since Once in the army, everything will be handled according to the rules of the army. There is no distinction between superiority and inferiority. I am not a highness. It is the first time for me to march and fight. Although my father regards me as the marshal of the army, I know that this expedition It depends on the two generals."

Sun Qian raised his eyes to look at Wu Ying, Wu Ying nodded his head almost imperceptibly, and turned his gaze back to Cang Lin: "The marshal is being polite when he says that, we two just fought because of our age. There are more battles. Although the Marshal is still young, he is His Majesty's parent and son after all, and the tiger father has no dogs. If we think about it on the battlefield and practice a few times, His Highness will not let us down."

From time to time, Cang Lin could already see the tempers of Sun Qian and Wu Ying. Sun Qian was more direct, but this Wu Ying had deeper thoughts. Sun Qian listened to him most of the time. command.Therefore, Wu Ying is clearly the more difficult one between the two. As long as this person is dealt with, Sun Qian will also be solved by the way.

The corners of Cang Lin's mouth twitched slightly: "I just hope that with the help of the two generals, we can successfully take down the Southwest." Then he picked up the map he had just seen from the stage, "Then let's discuss this time together." your expedition plan."

Wu Ying turned her head to look at Sun Gan, and nodded: "Since the marshal has this idea, it's even better."

The three of them spread out the map, followed the map and began to conduct preliminary discussions on the expedition plan. Most of the time, it was Sun Qian who was talking, Wu Ying was adding, Cang Lin and the other two had finished speaking, and then they would talk briefly. After several repetitions of his point of view, Cang Linneng gradually felt that Wu Ying's gaze towards him gradually changed.

By the time the discussion between the three of them came to an end, the sky had completely darkened, a bonfire had already been lit in the camp, and the patrol team passed through the tent.Cang Lin turned his ears slightly, and noticed the slight sound coming from the screen, he smiled at Sun Qian: "It's not too early, and I have to get up early tomorrow, so why not come here today, the two generals are also Go back early and rest."

Sun Gan got up first, and patted his hands: "When we get to the southwest and win the battle, I will definitely not get drunk with the marshal."

Cang Lin heard the change of his address, and the corners of his lips curled up: "That's it."

Wu Ying also stood up, nodded towards Cang Lin, and pulled Sun Gan out of the tent.Hearing the sound of footsteps gradually receding, Cang Lin finally breathed a long sigh of relief, hurried around behind the screen, and found that Fu Yu had indeed woken up, lying on his back on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

Cang Lin sat down on the side of the bed, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and his tone was gentle: "How long have you been awake?"

Fu Yu's eyes turned and fell on his face, then turned over and sat up: "I woke up when the marshal and the two generals were just discussing business."

Cang Lin knew why Fu Yu lay alone for so long without making a sound.Just now, Sun Qian and Wu Ying said that they came to discuss the expedition plan, but in fact they also came to test him as the marshal of the march. If they find that he is a waste, then in the future war, they will take him out of the way, and the battle will be considered a victory. In the future, it will not have much to do with him as a marshal of the army.

Although the discussion just now did not make the two of them look up to Cang Lin, at least in their hearts, Cang Lin is definitely not a marshal who can be ignored.If they found out at this time, there was still someone hiding in his tent, plus the previous rumors that he was a good man and favored the young lady, from now on, it would be difficult for him to gain the trust of these two people.

The two of them were testing Cang Lin just now, and Cang Lin was probably testing them.They are He Hongyi's confidantes and have great prestige in the army. If Cang Lin can get their support and return to the capital in the future, the situation in the court will be different.

Cang Lin understands these things, but Fu Yu understands them even more.

Thinking of this, Cang Lin's expression became softer, and he lowered his head to touch Fuyu's forehead: "After tossing around all day and lying down for so long, you're already hungry? I'll ask them to send some food Come in, do you want to take a shower?"

Fu Yu lightly bumped his forehead, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, we are marching, you just let people bring bath water in, and if it spreads in the future, it will only make people think that you, the King of Jin, are arrogant and lustful, and you are greedy for pleasure. .”

Cang Lin stretched out his hand to pinch his face, and sighed long: "I told you to follow me to the southwest, but it will still make you suffer."

Fu Yu pursed her lips: "Then let someone bring over some food. If you are full, all the suffering will be gone."

Cang Lin kissed his lips: "Okay."

Cang Lin ordered someone to bring dinner, and at the same time ordered a small basin of warm water. Before Fuyu could react, he took off his shoes and socks, soaked his feet in the water, squatted down in front of the bed, and slowly Said: "I can't take a bath, but it's always good to soak my feet."

Fu Yu lowered his head slightly, just able to see the top of Cang Lin's hair, for some reason he felt a little hot in his eyes.He thought of how Cang Lin looked neither humble nor overbearing in front of those two generals just now, obviously this man was already the king of Jin who could be looked up to, but now he was squatting here, concentrating on washing his feet.

Fu Yu leaned slightly, and pressed a kiss on the top of Cang Lin's head: "Okay, all the suffering is worth it."
