"General, please go to the camp tomorrow and see Niu and Song in person. Ask them to review this manuscript. If they have no objections, order the engraver to engrave it overnight, print it into small books, and distribute it to Xiao Yuan All the soldiers in the camp know it by heart."

"Do you really want to print it?"

"Of course...really!"

"Niu and Song must report to King Chuang, won't King Chuang stop them?"

"Preach for him, how can he stop it."

"So... can King Chuang trust me?"

"I'm afraid we have to kill a few more people..."

"Kill who?"

"Of course he is a brother of our little Yuan Ying. If he is the leader, that would be even better."

"what?"

In the large tent of the Central Army of Xiao Yuan Camp, General Yuan Shizhong had an incredulous look on his face: "Yu Chi, are you crazy? How can you persuade me to kill my own brothers?"

"General, if I want to really eliminate King Chuang's suspicion of me and treat the general as a confidant, I have to kill a few heads... Of course, in addition to this, it is best to punish some more people, and it must be You have to hit me really hard, the harder you hit me, the better!”

Yuan Shizhong's face suddenly became heavy, and he seemed a little angry. He was silent, as if suppressing the confusion and anger in his heart.

Liu Yuchi looked at the changes in his expression and guessed what he was thinking at once. He smiled slightly. Just as he was about to give his words of advice, he saw a soldier coming in to report: "Madam has sent a message, saying that wine and food have been prepared. Waiting for you." General, go over and talk."

Yuan Shizhong was stunned when he heard this. Before he had time to express his position, he heard Liu Yuchi give instructions on his behalf: "Go back to Madam quickly and say that our general has just finished discussing with the military advisor and will go to Madam's tent for a banquet immediately. "

After the soldiers were ordered to withdraw, Yuan Shizhong complained: "Yu Chi, why are you so impatient? Are you agreeing on my behalf?"

Liu Yuchi replied calmly: "Since my wife married the general, she has rarely been so attentive and considerate. Now that I have prepared wine and food for you, I must not spoil her good intentions.

Yu Chi, fearing that the general would hesitate, quickly agreed on his behalf. "

Yuan Shizhong said with a wry smile: "Well, I have promised Aunt Jin that I will stay in her tent tonight. This will teach me how to explain."

Liu Yuchi said: "Yuchi doesn't understand the general's thoughts, but today is different from the past. The general must not miss important events!"

Yuan Shizhong asked him puzzledly: "How could you miss such a big event?"

Liu Yuchi said with a very solemn expression: "Whether Xiao Yuanying can wait for an opportunity to escape completely depends on whether the general can win the favor of King Chuang. All the matters discussed tonight are for this reason.

At this critical moment, the general must accompany his wife so that she can firmly believe that the general has followed King Chuang wholeheartedly. In this way, the wife will definitely reveal something in front of Mrs. Gao. "

Liu Yuchi paused and then said: "I haven't finished what I just said. Please listen to my nagging for a few more words, general. Don't dare to waste the general's time."

Yuan Shizhong also knew that what Liu Yuchi said was very reasonable, so he immediately said: "Speak quickly."

"Today, Wang Shijie made a drunken statement and was beheaded by King Chuang. There are many injustices among the soldiers in the camp. Starting from tomorrow, we will arrest a few people who complain, no matter they are leaders or soldiers, and they will be beheaded in public. After that, In three days, a few more will need to be sorted out.

In addition, the general also had to take heavy responsibility for some people, and by using their heads and flesh on their bodies, they could show King Chuang that the general was loyal to the king and would follow him to the death. "

Yuan Shizhong hesitated involuntarily when he heard this: "How can I do such a thing..."

Liu Yuchi quickly stopped him and continued in a rather gloomy tone: "The situation is urgent, General. You must not show mercy to women, lest you miss important events!

As the saying goes, "One general's success will lead to tens of thousands of dead bones." I used to think that only on the battlefield, people would die like hemp, but recently... I have also come to understand a lot. Apart from the battlefield, people will often die. The key point is It's all about whether or not it's worth dying.

Lao Tzu also said, "The saint is unkind and treats the common people as stupid dogs." This saint treats the people as stupid dogs, but he is still a saint, so... when it is time to kill one of your own, you have to be ruthless, and you can no longer pay attention to the behavior of women. Ren.

For the future of the 30,000 soldiers of Xiaoyuan camp, he really had to be ruthless to kill some of his own people, even those close to him, especially those who seemed loyal and meritorious. "

He finally said viciously: "If you want to achieve great things, you must be ruthless and decisive. You must not be indecisive. What a woman's kindness!"

"You decide what to do for me."

Yuan Shizhong had a look of helplessness on his face. He nodded sadly and continued with a sigh: "To be honest, although Wang Shijie made a blunder after drinking, his crime was not worthy of death. He was unjustly executed today, and my heart remains until now. Still very sad..."

Liu Yuchi's face darkened, and he said resolutely: "The general is kind to us, and Yuchi naturally knows it in his heart. However, today's situation is critical, and I hope the general can bear it temporarily until my little Yuan camp breaks away from King Chuang. Just wait and settle the score with him slowly."

Seeing Yuan Shizhong nodding silently, he knew that Yuan Shizhong had acquiesced, and he couldn't help but added: "After a while, the general goes to the madam's room. If she mentions this matter, you must not only talk and laugh calmly, but also say that King Chuang killed him." It is very true that even if King Chuang does not kill Wang Shijie, the general will not let him stay..."

"This...I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to say..."

"General, at least you can't show your grievances in front of my wife... I think back then, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty's brother was killed by Gengshi. Emperor Guangwu rushed back to Wancheng, deeply regretted it, and never spoke of Kunyang's contribution. He didn't dare to mourn for his brother. He ate, talked and laughed as usual.

Emperor Gengshi did not kill him, but instead worshiped him as the general of Polu, granted him the title of Marquis of Wuxin, and even let him go to Hebei to quell the chaos, thus achieving his great career as an emperor.

Now, Wang Shijie is just your subordinate, not a real brother. No matter how loyal and capable he is, the general feels sad that he was killed, but there is no need to be too sad. After all, the safety of 30,000 soldiers of my Little Yuan Camp is in danger, but It all depends on the general! "

After hearing Liu Yuchi's words, Yuan Shizhong was silent for a while. After a long time, he slowly got up. He left the military tent and walked to Huimei's residence under the escort of his own soldiers.

…………

After receiving the teachings from King Chuang, Huimei began to think about King Chuang's great cause. Especially this afternoon, she heard about Wang Shijie's beheading from her personal follower Shao Shixin, so she discussed with Aunt Lu and prepared for the next few days. Such delicious meat and vegetable dishes, paired with fine wine, were prepared to relieve Yuan Shizhong's boredom, and also wanted to take the opportunity to persuade him to strictly control his subordinates in the future and follow King Chuang to conquer the world.

Originally, newlyweds paid great attention to their makeup, fearing that it would displease their husbands, so they neglected themselves. However, Huimei is the kind of person who "doesn't like red and loves to be armed." Nai's obsession made her even more disgusted with dressing up to please Yuan Shizhong.

Therefore, he never pays attention to his makeup, and always dresses in military uniform, with a three-foot sword hanging on his waist. Although this shows his valiant and heroic appearance, he does not have the shyness and charm of a newlywed bride.

This was also the original sin of Yuan Shizhong, who still did not forget his concubine, Auntie Jin, on the occasion of his wedding, and always found excuses to go to her house!

But there was something different tonight. Huimei took off her sword, took off her military uniform with arrow sleeves, and put on a peach red embroidered short jacket, a green pleated skirt, and red embroidered shoes. Waiter, the fragrance disperses the mist on the temples. This is the kind of makeup Huimei only wears during New Years and holidays!

At this moment, he was looking at his appearance in front of a newly polished bronze mirror. Looking at the delicate and beautiful figure in the mirror, she was also in a very happy mood.

Second Aunt Lu was standing behind her, looking at Huimei in the mirror, and couldn't help but praise in a low voice: "Girl, you are so beautifully dressed tonight. My uncle will see him later. He will definitely like it." !”

Huimei turned around and pretended to be angry: "Second Aunt, you are making fun of me too!"

Li Huimei's status and identity in Xiaoyuanying are very special. She is Yuan Shizhong's first wife, and she is the beloved adopted daughter of King Chuang and his wife Gao Guiying. When she married Yuan Shizhong, King Chuang specially selected 200 people around Mrs. Gao. The strong woman also selected 200 loyal, brave and capable male soldiers from the Xingyuanbiao camp. If we add in the additional miscellaneous men who are in charge of cooking, baggage, and mules and horses, the total number will be 500.

They are all stationed around Madame Huimei's military tent, and they also have their own independent "passwords". Although they are stationed in Xiaoyuan Camp, they exist independently, so that everyone calls it "Xiaochuang Camp" to match Xiaoyuan Camp. Yuan Yingxiang distinguished.

The outer circle of Xiaochuang camp is surrounded by male soldiers' tents, and there are male soldiers guarding several entrances. Inside are stables, and the inner circle is for the female soldiers of the 200-strong women's camp. The military tent is surrounded by a large tent, and here is the incense tent of Yuan Shizhong's wife Li Huimei.

Tonight, Yuan Shizhong's soldiers could only walk into the outer circle as usual. They were stopped in front of the female soldiers' tent and were not allowed to go any further. Although Yuan Shizhong felt very inappropriate about this, he still chose to do so. Nothing can be done.

In the fragrance tent, I watched Huimei's gentle and light movements, the intentional and unintentional glances in her gestures, and the sweet smile quietly blooming at the corner of her mouth, her hair on the temples flickering, the silver bells on her bun ringing, and the red candle shining brightly. Under the bed, there seemed to be a faint fragrance coming out of the red coat and embroidered quilt, all of which made Yuan Shi's mind drifting, making him drunk before he drank.

Yuan Shizhong raised his wine glass, looked at Huimei with a smile, and said: "Please!"

Huimei smiled sweetly, raised the glass lightly, put it between her lips, took a small sip, and looked straight at General Yuan Shizhong with bright and passionate eyes as he drank the full cup of wine.

After Yuan Shizhong finished drinking, he couldn't help but smile and asked: "Madam, why did you think of inviting me to have a drink with you tonight? This is the first time since we got married!"

Huimei smiled slightly and said: "I heard that you were unhappy today, so I asked Aunt Lu to help you. I personally cooked a few side dishes and two pots of rice wine for you, hoping to help the officials relieve their sorrow."

But Yuan Shizhong deliberately asked her: "What's wrong with me?"

Huimei still smiled and replied: "You want to hide it from me? I have heard about Wang Shijie. He is the leader of your old camp and the biological brother of Brother Shikui. Even you are implicated in this." , being scolded by King Chuang made me feel unhappy. Wasn’t it?"

Yuan Shizhong drank another full glass of wine, and said with a calm smile: "Hi. We are husband and wife, sleeping together every night. We should be connected heart to heart, talking about everything on the pillow. Talk. But I never thought that you still don’t understand who I am!”

He picked up a mouthful of fried pork slices and put it into his mouth, drank another glass of wine, and then continued very sincerely: "I sincerely support King Chuang. I originally wanted to follow King Chuang and make contributions. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come thousands of miles away." cast.

However, what is hateful is that some of my subordinates do not think the same way as me. They are nostalgic for the unrestrained life of grass bandits in the past, and they complain after drinking. This is a great disrespect to King Chuang.

Although Wang Shijie is the younger brother of Brother Shikui, he insulted King Chuang while drunk and deserved to die. How could he suppress this evil spirit without killing a few people? King Chuang is really angry today, and my future affairs will be much easier to handle.

Starting from tomorrow, I will issue an order to the whole camp: "Anyone who dares to complain against the Generalissimo and Laofu will be beaten with a stick or beheaded in the most severe case. I will never tolerate those who insult the king." Even if he is my father, that won’t work!

snort. I don’t believe there is anyone whose wild nature is not tamed by me, Yuan Shizhong..."

Huimei was deeply moved when she saw that her husband was truly loyal to King Chuang. She couldn't help but burst into tears. She thought to herself: "Oh, he can treat King Chuang like this. I married him in vain!"

She unconsciously picked up a piece of eight-piece fried chicken thigh with her chopsticks, lightly dipped it in some pepper and salt, put it on the vinegar and water dish in front of her husband, and said to him with a slight choke in her eyes: "If you are willing to do this, , Prince Chuang will definitely be happy."

The couple ate and talked in the aromatic tent, and the atmosphere became more and more harmonious. Huimei frequently poured wine for Yuan Shizhong, and she kept secretly apologizing that she should not have been too cold to her husband in the past.

After Yuan Shizhong drank for a while, he took out the manuscript drafted by Liu Yuchi from his arms. He handed it to Huimei and said, "You studied in Chuang Wang Laoying and you know how to read and write. Take a look. Is this manuscript okay?"

Huimei didn't know what kind of medicine Yuan Shizhong was selling in his gourd, and she couldn't help but feel strange. She took the manuscript in her hand and read it carefully from beginning to end. She couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh my god, the lyrics are so good! It's you. Did you make it up?"

"I ordered Military Master Liu to write the manuscript, and I helped him refine it. Do you think it's okay?"

"It's so well written!"

Yuan Shizhong was very satisfied with Huimei's reaction. He said: "As long as you say it is right, it will definitely be right. Early tomorrow morning, I will go to Mr. Niu and Military Advisor Song and ask them to take a look. If he and I The master also agreed, so I ordered our engravers in Xiaoyuan Camp to engrave the plate quickly."

Huimei asked him with a surprised look on her face: "Are you going to print it out and post it?"

Yuan Shizhong smiled and replied: "More than just posting it! I also ordered that the 30,000 soldiers in Xiaoyuan camp should recite it three times a day. They must memorize it by heart and never forget a single word.

I want all the soldiers of Xiaoyuan Camp to have only one person in their hearts from now on, that is 'King Chuang', and only one thing in their hearts, which is 'protect King Chuang and conquer the world'! "

Looking at Yuan Shizhong, Huimei's eyes were full of love. She had never thought that her husband would be so supportive and loyal to King Chuang. She was so moved that her heart was moved beyond words. The two exchanged cups and the atmosphere became ambiguous.

After eating and drinking, the food and wine were removed, and after washing up, Huimei leaned over and opened the embroidered quilt, and the intoxicating fragrance immediately came out.

Suddenly, Yuan Shizhong felt blood rushing to his brain, and his whole body was unbearably hot. He took off his clothes, blew out the candle in one breath, and took the shy Huimei into his arms.

In the past, Huimei would have pushed him, lowered her head, and had no other reaction. But tonight, she was uncharacteristically, snuggled tightly into Yuan Shizhong's arms, pressed half of her cheek against his chest, and listened. With that heartbeat.

Yuan Shizhong passionately kissed Huimei's pink cheeks and neck, and asked in a low voice: "If I leave the old mansion in the future and go to fight everywhere, will you always be by my side?"

Huimei said shyly: "Husband and wife should live together and fly together, why do you need to ask me this?"

"I regard you as my darling, and I'm afraid that you might not be willing to stay with me sometimes..."

"Nonsense! Even if you fight for King Chuang, even if you go to the ends of the world, life and death, I will be with you and stay by your side forever!"

Yuan Shizhong sighed, and kissed Huimei's pink and jade-like cheek. Huimei whispered: "Ah... let me take off the jewelry first... this little silver bell will ring when I move it... ah... "

Huimei gently pushed Yuan Shizhong away, struggled to take off the jewelry, and was hugged by Yuan Shizhong again, caressing her shoulders and whispering: "I realized tonight that you really love me!"

Huimei was stunned when she heard this, her fair and pretty face instantly turned pink, and she said slightly nervously: "Master, please don't hug me, and just listen to my words of self-discipline... words of self-discipline..."

When Yuan Shizhong heard this, he felt doubtful. He was worried that someone in his family had said bad things about him, or that someone was going to frame him. He became nervous instantly and urged her to speak out quickly.

Huimei, however, did not doubt that he was there. She gently hugged Yuan Shizhong's neck, put her pink lips close to his ear, and said softly and shyly in a weak voice: "I...I...I have... …There’s joy!”

Yuan Shizhong sat up suddenly, hugged Huimei tightly in his arms, and asked her in a low voice with great joy: "Really? Really? Is this... is it real?"

"Don't yell... don't yell... there are female soldiers patrolling nearby!"
