Red makeup against the world

Chapter 398 Handicap
The battle between generals is not like the infighting between civil servants. Even if you hate each other to death, you will be polite when you meet.

Men in the army are all hot-blooded men, and Wu Sheng didn't mean to keep it a secret.

As a few fast horses set off from the Beiya army and went back and forth to the Gyeonggi camp, the news of the two armies' martial arts exercises spread like a whirlwind throughout the entire Luoyang city.

The people in the capital are no better than other places, and they are all well-informed.There are so many dignitaries in the capital, if you want to, even the emperor can see it from a distance several times.If the common people would tremble tremblingly when they saw them, would they still have to live their normal lives?

Over time, the people in Luoyang City have developed a good courage.Hearing that the two armies will perform martial arts, everyone was as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and discussions started in the streets and alleys.

Casinos and underground banks also took action upon hearing the news, and set up a handicap for gamblers to place bets, just waiting for the day when the martial arts performance will come.

Wei Ming, on the other hand, had a bitter face, sitting on a bench, dangling his two long arms on his knees, facing his lieutenant general Lu Dahai.

"You said, what does the emperor mean? We have not handed over the countermeasures for a long time, and the emperor is angry?"

Lu Dahai was younger than him, he shook his head and said: "The emperor knows the importance of the capital camp. This time, let it go, it should just be up to you and me how to deal with it."

Hearing what he said, Wei Ming had even more headaches, and he couldn't guess what the emperor was thinking, what should he do to satisfy the emperor?

Lu Hai said: "General, why don't you think about it, why did the emperor promote you to be the commander of this camp?"

Wei Ming looked blank: "How do I know?"

Lu Haihai thought for a moment, and said: "How about this, if you don't care what the emperor thinks, what will the general do?"

Hearing this, Wei Ming slapped his thigh, stood up suddenly from the bench, and said murderously, "Zhan! I've been bullied, and I got those young masters to taste the fists of the master, and I'll know how powerful they are!"

Lu Dahai smiled, and said: "That's the case over there, according to the general's idea. It is clearly written in the war letter issued by the Beiya Army. Both of us have a month's preparation time."

"What?" Wei Ming showed doubts, and said, "Do you really follow my method?"

Seeing that Lu Dahai nodded, he didn't seem to be joking, and asked again: "What about Uncle Yongle's memorial, how should we deal with it?"

"You don't need to worry about this, the general, I will write the scriptures myself, and ask the emperor to show you."

Hearing that he had made up his mind, Wei Ming let out a long breath, and said, "I'll leave it to you! I'll go to train soldiers. Be sure to kill those Beiya soldiers until they cry!"

Watching him go out with renewed vigor, Lu Dahai grinds and begins to write a memorial to the emperor.

……

Jiashanfang, Xu residence.

Xu Wanzhen was doing needlework in the yard, Sangzi was helping her separate the threads, and Qingluo was helping her.

A few days ago, when Xu Wenmin came back with some good new materials, she thought about making a summer shirt for her grandmother.The material was only cut yesterday, and seeing the weather is good today, I took the sewing basket to the courtyard and started sewing it stitch by stitch.

Qingluo is very lively, chattering about the major events that have happened in the past few days.But it's not purely gossip, because of the reason this time, it also has something to do with Xu Wanzhen's cousin of the Tu family.

Holding the needle steadily, Xu Wanzhen spun the thread on the fabric, without raising her head, she asked, "You mean, these two armies, the Beiya Army and the Gyeonggi Daying Army, are going to perform martial arts?"

"Yes, Miss. The servant girl went out to buy some snacks early this morning, and everyone in the streets and alleys was talking about it. I heard that the casino even opened a handicap, ten to six."

"Oh?" Xu Wanzhen stopped the needle, looked at her and asked, "Who is ten? Who is six?" The Beiya Army is led by his eldest brother, so she must be concerned.

Qing Luo giggled, and said: "Ten in the Gyeonggi Daying Army, six in the Beiya Army."

It turns out that everyone is not optimistic about the Beiya Army, Xu Wan thought to herself and asked, "Why?"

"My maid didn't understand either, but when I was buying some snacks, I heard some people talking about it, saying that the martial arts performance between the two armies is not only about individual martial arts, but the most important thing is that the whole army can work together as one. He also said that the Beiya army is full of powerful children , Everyone says that they practice small martial arts, but when it comes to the battlefield, the emphasis is on orders and prohibitions."

Xu Wanzhen nodded, that's why.This handicap was drawn by the casino, and it must have studied the characteristics of the two armies.

The Gyeonggi camp is full of elites and veterans who have been on the battlefield, and they are in training all year round.When it comes to listening to military orders and teamwork, it is natural to be superior.

Unexpectedly, Wu Zhengxiang's eagle-like figure appeared in her mind, and Xu Wanzhen felt that the Beiya Army might not lose.His eldest brother is not a weak person, and he will definitely not sit idly by.

Sangzi was fascinated by such a lively event, and asked with interest: "What is the regulation of the two armies performing martial arts?"

Qingluo took a sip of water to moisten her throat, her eyes sparkled, and she said that these gossip news excited her the most.What's more, she stood for a full quarter of an hour in order to inquire about this matter completely!

Seeing that Miss and Sang Zi are both interested, it is worthwhile to stand up and hurt my legs.

"It is said that these two martial arts performances are a military rule, but it has not happened for many years. It means that the two sides send out the same number of people. This time, the regulation is 1000 people from one side. field. In the time of a stick of incense, whichever side has the most number of people left at the end wins."

"Ah?" Sangzi exclaimed in surprise, "Wouldn't that mean that many people will die?"

Qingluo said slowly: "I asked, although it is a real knife and gun, but it is an unsharp knife and a gun without a point. If it is cut, it will leave a mark on the body, this People are dead."

Sangzi patted her chest, stretched out her hand to pinch her, and said, "You damn girl, can't you just finish talking in one go? You scared me to death!"

It turns out that the military exercises between the two armies are exercises that are commonplace in modern times.Xu Wanzhen thought about it, and asked, "Where are you performing martial arts this time?"

While avoiding Sangzi's hand, Qingluo said: "The Beiya Army has set a time, next month. The Gyeonggi Camp has set a location, in their camp."

Sang Zi stopped, and asked: "Isn't it impossible to watch, how will you know who wins and who loses?"

Qingluo said: "It is said that on that day, a venue will be set up outside the camp, and anyone who wants to go can see it."

Xu Wanzhen smiled slightly, this series of events started with the death of Uncle Yongle's second son a few years ago, and it was fermented again this year due to Liu Qiran's serious injury.No matter what the outcome of the military exercise between the two armies, it must not be the end.

There should be more things to come, but it's beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Such a big event will definitely attract all the forces in the court to swarm.I just don't know, who will be the winner in the end?
