Thief Emperor

Chapter 250: War Everywhere!
It was not very convenient for women to enter the military camp, not because of the so-called strict separation of men and women, but mainly because the military camp was full of hot-tempered young men, and most of them would lose control when they suddenly saw a young and beautiful woman.

Although they couldn't possibly do anything to Xue Yun'er, it might cause trouble in the army.

Therefore, Li Yun did not take Xue Yun'er directly to Yuezhou Camp, but took her to the farm near Yuezhou Camp. He asked Meng Qing to ride a horse to Yuezhou City and ordered some wine, food, cakes, broken candies and the like, and delivered them to the farm.

By this time, the Yuezhou Rebellion had passed, but the original owner of the farm still hadn't returned, so the farm was basically requisitioned by the Yuezhou Army. On weekdays, senior officials of the Yuezhou Camp, such as Zhou Liang, would sometimes live in the farm and cook for themselves.

By the afternoon, all the generals and officers above the rank of brigade commander of Yuezhou Camp gathered in this manor.

It is worth mentioning that the organization of the Yuezhou Army at this time has been slightly revised by Li Yun. The current Yuezhou Army is composed of five people in a team, headed by the team leader, and five teams form a battalion, headed by the battalion leader.

Above the battalion commander, the original organizational structure of the Great Zhou Dynasty was still used, with five battalions, or 25 people, forming a brigade, and the person leading it was called the brigade commander.

Four brigades form a colonel camp, with the colonel as the chief officer and above him is the captain. Most captain camps only have two colonel camps.

However, a duwei battalion sometimes manages more than two xiaowei battalions.

The current Yuezhou Battalion has just been established, and the military merits of most people in the army are not enough for them to be promoted. Therefore, the current structure of the Yuezhou Battalion from the brigade up is not clear.

To put it simply, the current Yuezhou Camp is composed of about twenty brigades, but there are only three captains above the brigade commanders, one is Zhou Liang, one is Li Zheng, and the other is Deng Yang, who was just promoted by Li Yun because of his military exploits in the Battle of Wuzhou.

Three colonels, together with the Sima Li Yun, were in charge of these twenty brigades.

This is one of the problems that a startup team has to face. However, as time goes on and more people from Yuezhou Camp emerge, the future structure will become clearer and clearer.

Twenty brigade commanders were invited to the farm, and they all rushed to the front just to take a look at Xue Yun'er. After seeing Xue Yun'er, they all bowed their heads respectfully and saluted with fists: "Greetings, Madam!"

All those who can now reach the level of brigade commander in Yuezhou Camp, without exception, have followed Li Yun for an early period. Most of these people have been beaten by Li, and can be said to be sincerely convinced of Sima Li.

More importantly, they jumped from being bandits to becoming respected brigade commanders. This change of identity has made them determined to continue following Li Yun.

In the minds of these people, the word "imperial court" does not exist at all. Li Yun is their backbone, and one can even say he is their "lord"!
When seeing Xue Yun'er at this time, most people actually just want to become familiar to the mistress.

Xue Yun'er had never seen such a scene before. She was shocked, but in order not to embarrass her husband, she forced a smile and waved her hand, saying, "Everyone, you're welcome, you're welcome."

The brigade commanders then stood up, and the brave ones stepped forward to introduce themselves: "Madam, I am also from Qingyang! My name is Wang Cheng, and I have been following Sima for one or two years!"

"My, my, my name is Feng Qi!"

"Ma'am, my name is Qian Gou'er!"

Everyone signed up one by one, but most of their names were not very nice. Those called Gou'er were okay, but there were many people called Goudan.

Xue Yun'er felt dizzy and looked at Li Yun for help. Li Sima laughed and said, "Okay, don't pretend. I've asked Meng Qing to order food. We'll have a meal together here in a while. It'll be like making up for the wedding banquet for you."

Everyone cheered and jumped for joy. Someone started to make a noise and said with a smile, "Boss, you're not allowed to drink!"

Li Yun smiled.

"You can drink, but only today."

"Let me be frank with you. Drinking is drinking. If anyone gets drunk and causes trouble, they will be punished in whatever way they want!"

Everyone cheered and went away happily.

Li Yun then took Xue Yun'er to the back garden of the manor and found a place to sit down. After they sat down, Xue Yun'er couldn't help but say, "Their names are too bad..."

Li Yun smiled and said, "Most of them were captured bandits when I was suppressing bandits in Xuanzhou. I took them under my command."

"As a bandit, it's good to have a name. Naturally, it won't sound very nice. When I compiled a list of names for them, some people only had nicknames and no names at all."

Xue Yun'er thought for a moment and said, "Then wait a few days, when we have settled down in Yuezhou, my husband will give me their roster and I will change their names."

She said softly, "After all, you are already a brigade commander in the army. It's not appropriate to use names like Dog and Cat."

"This is good."

Li Yun clapped his hands and smiled, "Madam, you gave them decent names. In the future, they will all thank you for your kindness."

"What's the point of being affectionate or not."

Xue Yun'er didn't think much about it, she just shook her head and said, "It's not a big deal to change the name."

Li Yun looked at her with a smile and said nothing.

After a while, Meng Qing and others finally returned to the manor with wine and food. Li Yun took Xue Yuner out and drank a few glasses of wine with them. Then he took Xue Yuner to the backyard of the manor to rest.

At this time, the backyard had already cleared out a number of habitable rooms. As it was already approaching dusk, Mr. Li thought for a moment and said, "If we go into the city at this hour, it will probably be dark. Let's stay here today and go into Yuezhou City tomorrow. What do you think, Madam?"

Xue Yun'er naturally had no objection and nodded, "Then I'll go with Dong'er to make the bed."

Li Yun smiled and nodded, then turned to the front yard, got some wine and food, and holding a lantern, walked around the backyard of the farm and came to the door of an inconspicuous small courtyard. Zhou Bi was still guarding here. After seeing Li Yun, he quickly stood up and called out.

"Second brother!"

Li Yun looked at him in surprise, then laughed dumbly: "Boy, you can really stay here and guard it all the time?"

Zhou Bi shook his head: "It's not just me. My father arranged three people, including me, and each of us will guard for four hours."

He chuckled: "I'll go back to sleep in a little while." Li Yun shook his head and smiled: "I brought your second sister-in-law here, have you seen her?"

Zhou Bi said "Ah" and shook his head: "No, I have been guarding here all afternoon."

"Then you won't see him today."

Li Yun patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "I will take you to see him tomorrow morning. You are not needed here. Go eat and sleep."

Zhou Bi responded, handed the key to Li Yun, then turned around and jumped away.

Li Yun looked at his back and touched his chin.

This kid is able to keep his temper at such a young age. He is really a bit like his father. With this kind of character, he can be trained to become a defensive general in the future.

The premise is that if he has military talent...

After thinking for a while, Li Yun came to his senses, turned around, opened the door, and walked in.

As the gate opened, Zhao Cheng, who was locked inside, was quickly alarmed. He was now able to move freely in the yard, and after hearing the noise, he came into the yard.

After seeing Li Yun holding a lantern, he took a deep breath, clasped his fists towards Li Yun and said, "Congratulations to Sima Li on your wedding."

Li Yun smiled and said, "General Zhao also knows?"

"It's too boring to be locked up here."

Zhao Cheng exhaled and replied, "So, I will talk to Zhou Bi and the others."

Li Yun made a "tsk" sound.

"It seems that General Zhao has extracted a lot of information from them."

Zhao Cheng looked calm. He did not answer the question, but just looked up at Li Yun.

Li Yun asked, "Has General Zhao made up his mind in the past half month?"

Zhao Cheng let out a breath of foul air.

"I have a few questions for Sima Li."

"You said."

Li Yun found a place to sit down.

Zhao Cheng still stood.

"My first question is... How many people are there in the Yuezhou Army now?"

"Also, after I follow Sima, what does Sima plan to let me do?"

He looked at Li Yun and asked, "Can I lead the Yuezhou Army?"

"The Yuezhou Army now has about 2,400 people."

Li Yun answered honestly.

Hearing this number, Zhao Cheng's breathing became faster.

This number far exceeds what a state should have. In other words, the Sima of Yuezhou in front of him has already committed a crime in the eyes of the Zhou court.

This means that he and I might really be of the same kind!

"second question."

Li Yun smiled and said, "I went through so much trouble and risked my life to save General Zhao, just to let him lead the Yuezhou Army, but it's definitely not possible now."

"General Zhao, you can't attract too much attention at the moment. If I let you take charge of the entire Yuezhou Army, I'm afraid your identity will be discovered immediately."

Li Yun stood up, put his hands behind his back, and said, "I plan to have General Zhao change his name and stay with my subordinate Zhou Liang for a while as a military advisor to help train the Yuezhou Army. When the Yuezhou Army recruits new soldiers, I will give General Zhao 500 new soldiers first."

"When the war breaks out in the future, General Zhao will lead these 500 new soldiers into battle. After they have made achievements in battle, they will be gradually promoted to take charge of the Yuezhou Army, and they will also be able to win the support of the people."

"General Zhao, what do you think?"

Zhao Cheng looked at Li Yun and frowned, "After the battle of Wuzhou, how could there be any more battles in Yuezhou?"

"There will be."

"It won't be long..."

Li Yun put down the lunch box, looked up at Zhao Cheng, and spoke calmly.

“There will be war everywhere.”
